i TRICLOPYR ' aIMM ' aNMM , ilMl+ Dormant Stem Treatment Dormant stem treatments can be used to control susceptible woody plants and vines with < 2 inch diameter stems. Plants with > 2 inch diameter stems may not be controlled and resprouting may occur,. This application method works best in dense areas with small diam- eter brush. Dormant stem treatments of Alligare Triclopyr 4 can also be used as a chemical side -trim to control lateral branches of larger trees that encroach onto roadside, utility, or other rights -of -way. Mix 3 to 8 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in 2 to 3 gallons of crop oil concentrate or other rec- ommended oil. Add this mixture to enough water to make 100 gallons of spray solulion. Use continuous agitation to maintain mix. Apply in 70 to 100 gallons per acre with Radiarc, OC or equivalent nozzles, or handgun to ensure uniform stem coverage. In western states, apply anytime after woody plants are dormant. In other areas, apply anytime within 10 weeks of bud break, generally February through April. Do not apply to wet or saturated bark as poor control may result. For improved control of black cherry, mix Alligare Triclopyr 4 with 4 quarts of Weedone 170 herbicide. When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary state- ments, restrictions, recommended rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled. For root suckering species such as sumac, sassafras and locust, also spray the ground under the plant to cover small root suckers which may not be visible above the soil surface, Cut Stump Treatment Resprouting of cut stumps of susceptible species can be controlled by mixing 20 to 30 gal- lons of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray solution. Apply at low pressure with a backpack or knapsack sprayer; using either solid cone or flat fan nozzles. Apply to the root collar area, sides of the stump, and the outer portion of the cut surface including cambium. The treated area should be thoroughly wet, but do not apply to the point of runoff. Vary spray mixture concentration according to size and susceptibility of treated species. Applications can be made at any time of the year, including in winter months. Do not apply when snow or water prevent application to the ground line. Cut Stump Treatment in Western States Resprouting of cut stumps of salt -cedar and other Tamarix spp, bigleaf maple, tanoak, Oregon myrtle, and other susceptible species can be controlled by treating the cambium and adjacent wood around the circumference of the cut stump to wet. Applications may be made at any time during the year, however, reduced control may occur during periods of moisture stress as can occur in late summer. Use an applicator which can be calibrated to deliver small amounts. Note: All basal bark and dormant brush treatments may be used on grazed range and per- manent pasture land provided that no more than 2 quarts/acre/year of Alligare Triclopyr 4 is applied. Large plants or species requiring higher rates of Triclopyr may not be completely controlled., See the General Use Precautions section for grazing restrictions. Chemical Mowing on Non -Cropland Sites Infested with Annual and Perennial Broadleaf Weeds or Woody Plants To control annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and for suppression and stem density reduction of woody plants that occur on rights -of -way, airport grounds, petroleum tank farms or other industrial sites, Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied to the cut surfaces of weed or brush stubble under the deck of a rotary mower such as the Lucas "64" System or other approved equipment that is designed to uniformly apply the herbicide. Apply when growing conditions are favorable and the weeds are actively growing. Broadleaf Weed Control: Using a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons per acre, apply the rate recommended in the "Broadcast Applications with Ground Equipment— Broadleaf Weed Control" section of this label. To improve weed control or broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled, follow the label recommendations for herbicides that may be applied in tank mix combination with Alligare Triclopyr 4. Woody Plant Control: For suppressing and reducing stem density of woody species, use 3 to 6 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. To improve woody plant control or broaden the spectrum of woody plants controlled, follow label recommendations for herbicides that may be applied in tank mix combination with Alligare Triclopyr 4. Forest Management Applications For broadcast applications, apply the recommended rate of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a total of 5 to 25 gallons per acre by air or in 10 t0 100 gallons per acre by ground. Use sufficient spray volumes to provide thorough coverage of treated foliage. Use application systems designed to prevent spray drift to off -target sites. Nozzles or additives used for drift minimization that produce larger droplets may require higher spray volumes to provide adequate plant cover- age. Conifer Plant Back Interval— Conifer injury may occur if conifers are planted sooner than 1 month after Alligare Triclopyr 4 treatments at rates up to 4 quarts per acre; or if conifers are planted sooner than 2 months after treatment with rates of 4 to 8 quarts per acre. When herbicide tank mixtures are used for forest site preparation, use the longest plant back wait- ing period recommended on any tank mix partner. Forest Site Preparation (Not For Conifer Release) Broadcast Applications in Southern States (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) - To control susceptible woody plants and broadleaf weeds, apply 4 to 8 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4. Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied at a rate of 2 to 4 quarts per acre in a tank mix combination with labeled rates of Tordon' 101 Mixture or Tordon' or Picloram K to broaden the spectrum of woody plants and broadleaf weeds con- trolled, Tordon' 101 Mixture and Tordon" or Picloram K are not registered for use in California and Florida.

Refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, recom- mended rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled. Broadcast Applications in All Other States (Except those listed as Southern States) - To control susceptible woody plants and broadleaf weeds, apply 3 to 6 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4. Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied at a rate of 1,5 to 3 quarts per acre in a tank mix combination with labeled rates of Tordon' 101 Mixture, Tordon` or Picloram K, or 2,4-D low volatile ester to broaden the spectrum of woody plants and broadleaf weeds controlled. Tordon' 101 Mixture and Tordon' or Picloram K are not registered for use in California and Florida. For grass control, Alligare Triclopyr 4, alone or in combination with Tordon' or Picloram K or Tordon" 101 Mixture, may be tank mixed with other herbicides reg- istered for grass control in forests. Refer 10 the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, recom- mended rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled. Site Preparation in Southern Coastal F/atwoods - To control susceptible broadleaf weeds and woody species such as gallberry and wax -myrtle, and for partial control of saw -palmetto, apply 2 to 4 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4., To control species such as fetterbush, stag- gerbush, titi, and grasses, apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 2 to 3 quarts per acre in a tank mix combination with labeled rates of Arsenal Applicator's Concentrate or Imazapyr 4SL herbi- cide. To control gallberry, wax -myrtle, broadleaf weeds, and grasses, 2 to 3 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates of Glyphosate 4 herbicide. Apply as broadcast applications during site preparation of flat planted or bedded sites; or as bands over the taps of beds on bedded sites, Best results will occur if applications are made in late summer or fall. Efficacy may not be satisfactory for early season applications made prior to August. Note: Do not apply after planting pines. Conifer Release Applications Note: Conifer release applications may cause temporary damage and growth suppression of conifers where direct contact occurs; however, injured conifers should recover and grow normally. Over -the -top spray applications can kill pines. Directed Sprays To release conifers from competing hardwoods and brush such as red maple, sugar maple, striped maple, sweetgum, red and white oaks, ash, hickory, alder, birch, aspen, pin cherry, Ceanothus spp, blackberry, chinquapin, and poison oak, mix 4 to 20 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in enough water to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Direct the spray onto foliage of com- petitive hardwoods using knapsack or backpack sprayers with flat fan nozzles or equivalent. Make applications any time after the hardwoods and brush have reached full leaf size, but before autumn coloration. The majority of treated hardwoods and brush should be less than 6 feet in height to ensure adequate spray coverage. Care should be taken to direct the spray solu- tion away from conifer foliage, particularly foliage of desirable pines. See the RATES Table in the APPLICATIONS DIRECTIONS section for relationship between mixing rate, spray volume and maximum application rate. Mid -Rotation Understory Brush Control in Southern Coastal Flatwoods Pine Stands (Ground Equipment Only) Make broadcast applications of Alligare Trclopyr 4 at 2 to 4 quarts per acre for control of broadleaf weeds and susceptible woody plant species such as gallberry and wax -myrtle. To broaden the spectrum of woody plants controlled to include fetterbush, staggerbush, and titi, apply 2 to 3 quarts per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a tank mix with labeled rates of Arsenal Applicators Concentrate. Saw -palmetto will be partially controlled by use of Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 4 quarts per acre or by a tank mix of Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 2 to 3 quarts per acre with either Arsenal Applicator's Concentrate, Imazapyr 4SL, Escort, or Metsulfuron Methyl 60DF herbi- cide. These mixtures should be broadcast applied over target understory brush species, but to pre- vent injury to pines, make applications underneath the foliage of pines. For best results, apply 30 or more gallons per acre of spray solution. Make applications in late summer or fall. Efficacy may not be satisfactory when applications are made in early season prior to August. Refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, recom- mended rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled, Broadcast Applications for Conifer Release in the Pacific Northwest and California Dormant Conifers Before Bud Swell (Excluding Pines) -To control or suppress decidu- ous hardwoods such as vine maple, bigleaf maple, alder, scotch broom, or willow before leaf -out or evergreen hardwoods such as madrone, chinquapin, and Ceanothus spp„ use Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 1 to 2 quarts per acre. Diesel or fuel oil may be used as diluents. If applying in water, add 1 to 2 gallons per acre of diesel oil, a suitable surfactant, or an oil sub- stitute at manufacturer's recommended rates. Conifer Plantations (Excluding Pines) Before Conifer Bud Break and After Hardwoods Begin Growth ("Early Foliar" Hardwood Stage) —Apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 1 to 1.5 quarts per acre alone or in a tank mix with 2,4-D low volatile ester herbicide in water carrier. Apply no more than 3 pounds acid equivalent per acre from both products. After conifer bud break, these sprays may cause more serious injury to the crop trees. Use of a surfactant may cause unac- ceptable injury to conifers especially after bud break. Conifer Plantations (Excluding Pines) After Conifers Harden Off in Late Summer and While Hardwoods Are Still Growing Actively —Apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 at 1 to 1,5 quarts per acre alone or in a tank mix with 2,4-D low volatile ester in water carrier. Apply no more than 3 pounds acid equivalent per acre from both products. Treat as soon after conifer bud hardening as possible so that hardwoods and brush are actively growing,. Use of oil, oil sub-
