AMINE 4 2,4-D WEED KILLER EPA REG. NO. 34704-120 When applying sprays that contain 2,4 -D mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. Wind Speed Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on- target deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, resi- dential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field. Temperature Inversions If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of tem- perature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. Susceptible Plants Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other veg- etables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants. Other State and Local Requirements Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4 -D herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Equipment All aerial and ground application equipment must be property maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for air- craft safety. This requirement does not apply to forestry or rights - of-way applications. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applica- tor must compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. For ground boom appli- cation: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. ENDANGERED SPECIES Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition. et al. v. EPA, CO132C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please refer to EPA Web Site: http: / /www.epa.gov /espp. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Generally, the lower dosages given will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher dosages will be needed. Apply AMINE 4 during warm weather when weeds are young and growing actively. Apply a minimum of 2 gals of spray solution per acre by air or a minimum of 5 gals of spray solution per acre by ground unless directed otherwise. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. PLANTING IN TREATED AREAS Labeled Crops: Crops listed as use sites on this or other registered 2,4 -D labels may be planted within 29 days of AMINE 4 application. Follow more specific limitations (if listed) provided in the directions for individual crops. Labeled crops may be at risk for crop injury or loss when planted soon after application, especially in the first 14 days. 5 AMINE 4 2,4-D WEED KILLER EPA REG. NO. 34704-120 Degradation factors described below should be considered in weighing this risk. Other Crops: All other crops may be planted 30 or more days following an application without con- cern for illegal residues in the planted crop. However, under certain conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible crops. Degradation factors described below should be considered in weigh- ing this risk. Under normal conditions, any crop may be planted without risk of injury if at least 90 days of soil temperatures above freezing have elapsed since application. Degradation factors: When planting into treated areas, the risk of crop injury is less if lower rates of product were applied and conditions following application have included warm, moist soli condi- tions that favor rapid degradation of 2,4 -D. Risk is greater if higher rates of product were applied and soil temperatures have been cold and/or soils have been excessively wet or dry in the days fol- lowing application. Consult your local Agricultural Extension Service for information about susceptible crops and typi- cal soil conditions in your area. WEED LIST The degree of control is dependent upon the species, stage of growth and overall growing condi- tions. Best results are obtained when weeds are young and actively growing.
