<br />Established grasses are tolerant to this product, but newly seeded
<br />When applying sprays that contain 2,4 -D mixed with other active
<br />grasses may be Injured until well established as indicated by tillering,
<br />ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as
<br />development of a secondary root system and vigorous growth (see
<br />a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean
<br />Planting Grasses Section).
<br />diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
<br />Grazon P +D may suppress certain established grasses such as
<br />smooth bromegrass, Willman's lovegrass and buffalograss. However,
<br />subsequent grass growth should be improved by release from weed
<br />competition. Smooth bromegrass and Willman's lovegrass grown for
<br />seed may be sensitive to this product if applied under adverse growing
<br />conditions (moisture stress).
<br />Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas to broadleaf crop
<br />areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing on untreated grass pasture.
<br />Otherwise, urine may contain enough picloram to cause injury to sensitive
<br />broadleaf plants.
<br />Do not use gross or hay or plant materials from treated areas or
<br />manure from animals being fed treated forage or hay for composting
<br />or mulching of desirable, susceptible broadleaf plants.
<br />Do not use manure from animals grazing treated areas on land used
<br />for growing broadleaf crops, ornamentals, orchards or other susceptible,
<br />desirable plants. Manure may contain enough picloram to cause injury
<br />to susceptible plants.
<br />Do not mix with dry fertilizer.
<br />Do not contaminate water Intended for Irrigation or domestic
<br />purposes. To avoid injury to crops or other desirable plants, do not
<br />treat or allow spray drift or run -off to fall onto banks or bottoms of irrigation
<br />ditches, either dry or containing water, or other channels that carry water
<br />that may be used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not apply to
<br />snow or frozen ground.
<br />Do not use on sub-Irrigated land.
<br />Do not apply or otherwise permit Grazon P +D or sprays containing
<br />Grazon P+D to contact crops or other desirable broadleaf plants,
<br />including but not limited to alfalfa, beans, cotton, grapes, melons,
<br />peas, potatoes, safflower, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflower, tobacco,
<br />tomatoes, and other vegetable crops, flowers, fruit plants, ornamentals
<br />and shade trees.
<br />Do not make application when circumstances favor movement from
<br />treatment site.
<br />Spray Drift Management
<br />A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction,
<br />wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application
<br />(e.g., ground, aerial, airblast) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator
<br />must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when
<br />applying this product.
<br />Droplet Size
<br />When applying sprays that contain 2,4-13 as the sole active ingredient,
<br />or when applying sprays that contain 2,4 -D mixed with active ingredients
<br />that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a Coarse or coarser
<br />spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns
<br />or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
<br />Wind Speed
<br />Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product
<br />if the wind direction favors on- target deposition and there are not sensitive
<br />areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water,
<br />known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet
<br />downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at
<br />the downwind edge of the treated field.
<br />Temperature Inversions
<br />If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine
<br />if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric
<br />conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into
<br />areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
<br />Susceptible Plants
<br />Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food,
<br />forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof
<br />rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include,
<br />but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, fruit trees, grapes (in growing
<br />stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals,
<br />sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small
<br />amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible
<br />broadleaf plants.
<br />Other State and Local Requirements
<br />Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements
<br />regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides. Where states have more
<br />stringent regulations, they must be observed.
<br />Equipment
<br />All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained
<br />and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.
<br />Aerial Application
<br />The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the
<br />rotor blade diameter.
<br />Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight
<br />safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the
<br />crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This
<br />requirement does not apply to forestry or rights -of -way applications.
<br />When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced
<br />downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by adjusting the path
<br />of the aircraft upwind.
<br />Ground Boom Application
<br />Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop
<br />canopy.
<br />Temperature And Humidity: When making applications in low relative
<br />humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate
<br />for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions
<br />are both hot and dry.
