<br />Low Volume Foliar Treatment solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Spray the basal parts of brush and tree trunks in
<br />a manner which thoroughly wets the lower atoms, including the root collar area,
<br />but not to the point of runoff. Herbicide concentration should vary with size and
<br />susceptibility of species treated. Apply at any time, including the winter months,
<br />except when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground line or when stem
<br />surfaces are saturated with water.
<br />Garkhn 4 Plus Tordon K in Oil Tank Mix: Garlon 4 and Tordon K may be
<br />applied as a low volume basal bark treatment to improve control of certain woody
<br />species such as ash, elm, maple, poplar, aspen, hackberry, oak, oceanspmy, birch,
<br />,fine, tanoak, cherry, locust, sassafras, and multiflora rose. (See product
<br />bulletin for mixing instructions.)
<br />Streamline Basal Bark Treatment (Southern States)
<br />To control or suppress susceptible woody plants for conifer release, mix 20 to
<br />30 gallons of Garlon 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.
<br />Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using equipment which provides a
<br />directed straight stream spray. Apply sufficient spray to one side of stems less
<br />than 3 inches in basal diameter to form a treated zone that is 6 inches in height.
<br />When the optimum amount of spray mixture is applied, the treated zone should
<br />widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30 minutes. Treat both sides of
<br />stems which are 3 to 4 inches in basal diameter. Direct the spray at bark that
<br />is approximately 12 to 24 inches above ground. Pines (loblolly, slash, shordeaf,
<br />and Virginia) up to 2 inches in diameter breast height (dbh) can be controlled
<br />by directing the spray at a point approximately 4 feet above ground. Vary spm
<br />mixture concentration with size and susceptibility of the species being treated.
<br />Best results arc achieved when applications arc made to young vigorously growing
<br />stems which have not developed the thicker bark characteristic of slower growing,
<br />understory trees in older stands. This technique is not recommended for scrub
<br />and live oak species, including blackjack, turkey, post, live, bluejack and laurel
<br />oaks, or bigleaf maple. Apply from approximately 6 weeks prior to hardwood
<br />leaf expansion in the spring until approximately 2 months after leaf expansion
<br />is completed. Do not apply when snow or water prevent spraying at the desired
<br />height above ground level.
<br />.Low Volume Stem Bark Band Treatment (North Central and Lake States)
<br />To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
<br />mix 20 to 30 gallons of Garlon 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray
<br />mixture. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressure and a
<br />solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Apply the spray in a 6 to 10 inch wide band that
<br />completely encircles the stem. Spray in a manner that completely wets the bark,
<br />but not to the point of runoff. The treatment band may be positioned at any height
<br />up to the first major branch. For best results apply the band as low as possible.
<br />Spray mixture concentration should vary with size and susceptibility of species to
<br />be treated. Applications may be made at any time, including winter months.
<br />To control susceptible woody plants, mix up to 20 quarts of Garlon 4 in 10 to 100
<br />gallons of finished spray. The spray concentration of Garlon 4 and total spray
<br />volume per acre should be adjusted according to the size and density of target
<br />woody plants and kind of s ray equi pment used. With low volume sprays, use
<br />sufficient spray volume to obtain uniform coverage of target plants including the
<br />surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars (See General Use Precautions). For
<br />best results, a surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures. Match equipment
<br />and delivery rate of spray nozzles to height and density of woody plants. When
<br />treating tall, dense brush, a truck mounted spray gun with splay tips that deliver
<br />up to 2 gallons per minute at 40 to 60 psi may be required Backpack or other
<br />types of specialized spray equipment with spray tips that deliver less than 1 gallon
<br />of spry per minute may be appropriate for short, low to moderate density brush.
<br />See Table I for relationship between mixing rate, spray volume and maximum
<br />application rate.
<br />Tank Mixing: As a low volume foliar spray, up to 12 quarts of Garlon 4 may be
<br />applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates of Tordon K or Tordon 101
<br />Mixture in 10 to 100 gallons of finished spray.
<br />Broadcast Applications With Ground Equipment
<br />Make application using equipment that will assure thorough and uniform
<br />coverage of spray volumes applied.
<br />Woody Plant Control
<br />Foliage Treatment: Use 4 to 8 quarts of Garlon 4 in enough water to make 5
<br />or more gallons per acre of total spray, or Garlon 4 at 142 to 3 quarts may be
<br />combined with labeled rates of 2,4-D low volatile ester, Tordon 101 Mixture, or
<br />Tordon K in sufficient water to make 5 or more gallons per acre of total spray.

<br />wth diesel oil or other inverting agent When using an inverting agent,. toad and
<br />follow the use directions and precautions on the product label.
<br />Aerial Application (Helicopter Only)
<br />Aerial sprays should be applied using suitable drift control (See "General Use
<br />Precautions ").
<br />Foliage Treatment (Utility and Pipeline Rights -of -Way)
<br />Use 4 to 8 quarts of Garlon 4 alone, or 3 to 4 quarts Garlon 4 in a tank mix
<br />combination with labeled rates of 2,4 -D low volatile ester Tordon 101 Mixture
<br />or Tordon K and apply in a total spray volume of 10 to 30 gallons per acre. Use
<br />the higher rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions.
<br />Bawl Bark and Dormant Brush Treatments
<br />To control susceptible woody plants in nets -of -way, and other non -crop areas,
<br />and in forests, use Garlon 4 m oil or oiT -water mixtures prepared and applied
<br />as described below. When preparing mixtures, use as oils either a commercially
<br />available basal oil, diesel fuel, No. I or No. 2 fuel oil, or kerosene. Substitute
<br />other oils or diluents only as recommended by the oil or diluent's manufacturer.
<br />When mixing with a basal oil or other oils or diluents, read and follow the use
<br />directions and precautions on the product label prepared by the oil or diluent's
<br />.manufacturer.
<br />OB Mixture Sprays
<br />Add Garlon 4 to the required amount of oil in the spray tank or mixing tank and
<br />mix thoroughly. If the mixture stands over 4 hours, magitation is required.
<br />Oil Mixtures of Garlon 4 and Tordon K: Tordon K and Garlon 4 may be used in
<br />tank mix combination for basal bark treatment of woody plants. These herbicides
<br />are incompatible and will not form a stable mixture when mixed together directly
<br />in oil. Stable tank mixtures for basal bark application can be made if each product
<br />is fast combined with a compatibility agent prior to final mixing in the desired
<br />ratio. (See product bulletin for mixing instructions.)
<br />Oil -Water Mixture Sprays
<br />First, premix the Garlon 4, oil and surfactant in a separate container. Do not allow
<br />any water or mixtures containing water to get into the Garlon 4 or the premix.
<br />Fill the spray tank about half full with water, then slowly add the premix with
<br />continuous agitation and complete filling the tank with water. Continue moderate
<br />W .sa gitation.
<br />ote: If the premix is put in the tank without any water, the first water added
<br />y form a thick "invert" (water in oil) emulsion which will be hard to break.
<br />l Bark Treatment
<br />To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
<br />mix I to 5 gallons of Garlon 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.

<br />Apply with knapsack sprayer or power spraying equipment using low pressure
<br />(20-40 psi). Spray the basal parts of brush and tree trunks to a height of 12 to 15
<br />inches from the ground. Thorough wetting of the indicated area is necessary for
<br />5i�� y until runoff at the ground line is n oticeable. Old or rough
<br />spray than smooth young bark. Apply at any time, including
<br />except when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground
<br />line.
<br />Low Volume Basal Bark Treatment
<br />Thinline Basal Bark Treatment
<br />To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in diameter,
<br />apply Garlon 4 either undiluted or mixed at 50 -75% v/v with oil in a thin stream to
<br />all sides of the lower stems. The stream should he directed horizontally to apply
<br />a narrow band around each stem or champ. Use a minimum of 2 to 15 milliliters
<br />of Garlon 4 or oil mixture with Garlon 4 to treat single stems and from 25 to
<br />100 milliliters to treat clumps of stems. Use an applicator metered or calibrated
<br />to deliver the small amounts required.
<br />Dormant Stem Treatment
<br />Dormant stem ill treatments w control susceptible woody plants and vines with
<br />stems its 2 inches in diameter. Plants with stems greater than 2 inches in
<br />diameter may not be controlled and resprouting may occur. This treatment method
<br />is best suited for sites with dense, small diameter brush. Dormant stem treatments
<br />of Garlon 4 can also be used as a chemical sidetrim for controlling lateral branches
<br />of larger trees that encroach onto roadside, utility, or other rights -of -way.
<br />Mix 4 to 8 quarts of Garlon 4 in 2 to 3 gallons of crop oil concentrate or other
<br />recommended oil and add this mixture to enough water to make 100 gallons of
<br />spray solution. Use continuous adequate agitation. Apply with Radiarc, OC or
<br />equivalent nozzles, or handgun using 70 to 100 gallons of spray per acre to ensure
<br />uniform coverage of sterns. Garlon 4 may be mixed with 4 quarts of Weedone
<br />170 herbicide to improve the control of black cherry and broaden the spectrum
<br />of herbicidal activity. In western states, apply anytime after woody plants are
<br />dormant. In other areas apply anytime within 10 weeks of budbreak, generally
<br />February through April. Do not apply to wet or saturated bark as poor control
<br />may result.
<br />Cnt Stump Treatment
<br />To control resprouting of cut stumps of susceptible species, mix 20 to 30 gallons
<br />of Garlon 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a
<br />backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressures and a solid cone or flat fan
<br />nozzle. Spray the root collar area, sides of the stump, and the outer portion of
<br />the cut surface including the cambium until thoroughly wet, but not to the point
<br />of runoff. Spray mixture concentration should vary with size and susceptibility
