WEEDS CONTROLLEDThe following broadleaf weed species can be con-trolled or suppressed up to 4 inches in height or less,or rosettes of 3 inches in diameter or less. Tank mix-tures of ET herbicide/defoliant with other labeledbroadleaf herbicides may be needed for control ofsome weed species.

(continued)


TANK MIXTURESET herbicide/defoliant may be applied as a tankmixor in sequential application with other harvest aid,herbicide, fungicide, or insecticide products. Weather,crop conditions, or the presence of certain weeds,crop damaging insects, or diseases will indicate theinclusion of other pesticides in the defoliation or des-iccation application.Note: It is recommended that the compatibility of ETherbicide/defoliant in any tankmix combination betested before use. To determine the physical com-patibility with other products, use a jar test, as de-scribed below:Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts ofthe products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powdersand water-dispersible granular products first, then liq-uid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last.After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 min-utes. If the combination remains mixed or can beremixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once com-patibility has been proven, use the same procedurefor adding required ingredients to the spray tank.Read and follow all label directions for each tankmixproduct. Always use in accordance with the mostrestrictive of label precautions and limitations.

MIXING DIRECTIONSAdd 1⁄2 to 3⁄4 of the required amount of water to thespray tank. Start agitation. Add the requiredamount of ET herbicide/defoliant and the remainingamount of water. Mix only as much spray solutionas can be sprayed within four hours. Storage anduse of the previous day’s spray mix may result inreduced activity.Use an approved agricultural buffering agent, buffer-ing to pH 7.5 or less, if using ET herbicide/defoliantin a water source greater than or equal to pH 7.5.Always buffer the water source BEFORE adding ETherbicide/defoliant to the spray tank.

SPRAY DRIFTAvoid spray drift to all other crops and nontargetareas. Do not apply when weather conditions maycause drift. Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or in-jury to adjacent crops and vegetation, in the form ofleaf yellowing and defoliation. To avoid spray drift, DONOT apply aerially when wind speed is greater than10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions.Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift.AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITEIS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.The interaction of equipment and weather-related fac-tors determines the potential for spray drift. The ap-plicator is responsible for considering all these factorswhen making decisions. Droplet size, boom height,and wind speed are the primary factors determiningdrift. The specific application conditions required forthe use of this product are described below.

11


Information on Droplet SizeThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is toapply large droplets. The best drift management strat-egy is to apply the largest droplets that provide suffi-cient coverage and control. Applying larger dropletsreduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if ap-plications are made improperly, or under unfavorableenvironmental conditions (see Wind, Temperatureand Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).Controlling Droplet SizeVolume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply thehighest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higherrated flows produce larger droplets.Pressure – Do not exceed the nozzle manufac-turer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzletypes, lower pressure produces larger droplets.When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flowrate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number ofnozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that thespray is released parallel to the airstream produceslarger droplets than other orientations and is therecommended practice. Significant deflection fromhorizontal will reduce droplet size and increasedrift potential. Nozzle Type – Use a nozzle type that is designedfor the intended application. With most nozzle types,narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Con-sider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzlesoriented straight back produce the largest dropletsand the lowest drift. Maintenance of Nozzles – Periodic inspection andsubsequent replacement of nozzles to ensureproper chemical application is recommended.

12


Boom LengthFor some use patterns, reducing the effective boomlength to less than 3⁄4 of the wingspan or rotor lengthmay further reduce drift without reducing swath width.Application HeightApplications should not be made at a heightgreater than 10 feet above the top of the largestplants unless a greater height is required for aircraftsafety. Making applications at the lowest height thatis safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporationand wind. Swath AdjustmentWhen applications are made with a crosswind, theswath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on theup and downwind edges of the field, the applicatormust compensate for this displacement by adjustingthe path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustmentdistance should increase, with increasing drift po-tential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)WindDrift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10mph. However, many factors, including droplet sizeand equipment type determine drift potential at anygiven wind speed. Application should be avoidedbelow 2 mph due to variable wind direction and highinversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influencewind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar withlocal wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.Temperature and HumidityWhen making applications in low relative humidity,set up equipment to produce larger droplets to com-pensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is mostsevere when conditions are both hot and dry.

13


14

Temperature InversionsApplications should not occur during a temperatureinversion because drift potential is high. Temperatureinversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causessmall suspended droplets to remain in a concen-trated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictabledirections due to the light and variable winds com-mon during inversions. Temperature inversions arecharacterized by increasing temperatures with alti-tude and are common on nights with limited cloudcover and light to no wind. They begin to form as thesun sets and often continue into the morning. Theirpresence can be indicated by ground fog; however,if fog is not present, inversions can also be identifiedby the movement of smoke from a ground source oran aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers andmoves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under lowwind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smokethat moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicatesgood vertical air mixing.Sensitive AreasThe pesticide should only be applied when the po-tential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. resi-dential areas, bodies of water, known habitat forthreatened or endangered species, nontarget crops)is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from thesensitive areas).


EQUIPMENT CLEANINGDo not allow the spray solution to dry in the ap-plication equipment. After application and be-fore using the sprayer equipment for any otherapplications, the sprayer must be thoroughlycleaned. Applicators must ensure proper equip-ment clean-out for any other products mixedwith ET herbicide/defoliant as provided on theother product label(s). Immediately following ap-plication, clean all equipment thoroughly with deter-gent or a spray tank cleaner and water as describedbelow. Should residues of ET herbicide/defoliantremain in inadequately cleaned equipment, theymay be released in subsequent applications andcause injury to crops.1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, and spray boom and

thoroughly rinse with clean water the inside of thespray tank, sprayer hoses, boom, and nozzles toremove any sediment or residues.

2. Fill the tank 1⁄2 full with clean water, add the appro-priate detergent (follow manufacturer’s directionsfor use). Fill tank to capacity and operate thesprayer with agitation for 15 minutes to flushhoses, boom, and nozzles.

3. Drain the sprayer tank, lines, and booms. Rinsethe tank with clean water and flush through thehoses, boom, and nozzles. Remove and cleanspray nozzles, tips, and screens.

4. Dispose of all cleaning solutions, rinsate, andwashwaters in accordance with Federal, state,and local regulations.
