<br />prior to autumn coloration.
<br />Application Directions for Rangeland, Permanent Grass Pastures, and Conservation
<br />ReserveProgram_,(CRP) Acres,,,
<br />Refer to Tables 1 and 2 of this label for a list of woody plants and broadleaf weeds that are
<br />controlled by Alligare Triclopyr 4.
<br />Florida: Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be applied to non -irrigation ditchbanks and lencerows on
<br />farms and ranches in addition to those uses listed in this section of the label..
<br />Application Methods
<br />Foliage Treatment with Ground Equipment
<br />Use sufficient spray volume to completely and uniformly cover foliage using 10 or more gal-
<br />lons of total spray volume per acre.. To ensure adequate coverage of plants with increased
<br />depth and density of foliage, and particularly for treatment of woody plants, use higher spray
<br />volumes.
<br />High -Volume Foliage Treatment
<br />To control susceptible woody plants, use the recommended rate of Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone
<br />or in a tank mix to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. For rangeland and permanent pas-
<br />ture sites, make 1 application per year and apply no more than 2 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr
<br />4 (2 lbs. ae of triclopyr) per acre... Alligare Triclopyr 4 may be tank mixed with other herbicides
<br />at recommended rates (see application rates table below) to control a broader spectrum of
<br />woody plants and broadleaf weeds. Be sure to follow all applicable use directions, precau-
<br />tions, and limitations on the respective product labels when tank mixing.
<br />Apply sufficient spray volume to thoroughly wet all leaves, stems, and root collars. Minimize
<br />spray drift by using the minimum spray pressure that provides adequate plant coverage with-
<br />out forming a mist and direct sprays no higher than the top of the target plants. A drift control
<br />additive cleared for application to growing crops may also be used to reduce spray drift. For
<br />best results, apply when woody plants and weeds are actively growing.

<br />'See directions for Mesquite Control Using High Volume Foliage Treatment below.
<br />Mesquite Control Using High Volume Foliage Treatment: To control low to moderate den-
<br />sity mesquite infestations, apply a tank mixture of Alligare Triclopyr 4 and Reclaim' to
<br />individual plants with a backpack or hand-held sprayer or a vehicle -mounted sprayer with
<br />hand-held spray wand or spray gun. For individual plant treatment, use 2 quarts of Alligare
<br />Triclopyr 4 with 2 quarts of Reclaim' per 100 gallons of total spray solution (1/2 % v/v of each
<br />product). Apply in water or as an oil -water emulsion as described in the Mixing Directions
<br />Section, If an oil -water emulsion is used, add the oil at a rate of 5 % of the total spray volume.
<br />Apply as a complete spray -to -wet foliar application, including all leaves. Thorough coverage
<br />is necessary for good results, but do not spray to the point of runoff„ This application method
<br />works best for brush less than 8 feet tall since efficient treatment and thorough coverage of
<br />taller brush is difficult to achieve using this method. Do not apply when mesquite foliage is
<br />wet. The total amount of Reclaim` applied should not exceed 1 113 pints per acre. For best
<br />results, follow information given elsewhere in this label concerning effect of environmental
<br />conditions and application timing on control. To minimize drift, select a spray nozzle and pres-
<br />sure that generates a coarse spray and provides good coverage. Drift may be reduced by
<br />directing sprays no higher than the top of target plants and by using the minimum pressure
<br />necessary to obtain plant coverage without forming a mist. If desired, a spray dye may be
<br />added to the spray mixture to mark the treated plants.
<br />Broadcast Application With Aerial or Ground Equipment
<br />Brush and weed control results are influenced by environmental conditions and application
<br />timing; for best results, apply when woody plants and weeds are actively growing. For woody
<br />species, apply when leaf tissue is fully expanded and terminal growth has slowed after the
<br />rapid growth period of early spring To ensure adequate foliage for herbicide absorption,
<br />brush regrowth should be at least 4 ft, high prior to treatment. The presence of healthy
<br />foliage at the time of application as well as adequate soil moisture before and after treatment
<br />are important factors contributing to optimal herbicidal activity,
<br />Apply sufficient spray volume to completely and uniformly cover foliage using 10 or more gal-
<br />lons of total spray volume per acre for ground applications and at least 2 gallons of total
<br />1,1:11 R1 i-me
<br />spray volume per acre for aerial applications„. To ensure adequate coverage of plants with
<br />increased depth and density of foliage, and particularly for treatment of woody plants, use
<br />higher spray volumes.
<br />Mesquite: The herbicidal response of mesquite is strongly influenced by foliage condition,
<br />growth stage and environmental conditions., For best results, apply when soil moisture is
<br />adequate for plant growth, the soil temperature is above 75°F at a depth of 12 to 18 inches,
<br />and new growth foliage has turned from light to dark green. Apply within 60 days after the
<br />75'F minimum soil temperature at the 12 to 18 inch depth has been reached ([he rate of soil
<br />warm-up at the 12 to 1 B inch depth may vary with soil texture and drainage with coarse -tex-
<br />tured (sandy) soils warming up sooner than fine -textured (clay) soils and dry soils warming
<br />up more quickly than wet soils). If the application is made before mesquite foliage has turned
<br />from light to dark green or if foliage has been injured or removed by late frost, insects, hail
<br />or plant diseases, product performance may be adversely affected. Do not treat if mesquite
<br />exhibits new (light green) terminal growth in response to recent heavy rainfall during the
<br />growing season and to ensure adequate foliage for herbicide absorption, mesquite regrowth
<br />should be at least 4 ft, high prior to treatment.
<br />Mesquite Only
<br />Apply Yz to 1 pint of Alligare Triclopyr 4 per acre in combination with 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints per
<br />acre of Reclaim'. Refer to the Reclaim' label for additional treatment recommendations and
<br />information on mesquite control. Apply as an oil/water emulsion in 4 gallons or more total vol-
<br />ume per acre for aerial applications or in 10 gallons or more total volume per acre for ground
<br />applications, Use no more than 1 gallon of oil per acre for both aerial and ground applica-
<br />tion.
<br />Mesquite and Pricklypear Cactus
<br />For pricklypear cactus in association with mesquite, apply a lank mix of % to 1 pint of Alligare
<br />Triclopyr 4 with 1 to 2 pints of Tordon' or Picloram 22K per acre For a higher and more uni-
<br />form plant kill of pricklypear, use the 2 pint per acre rate of Tordon' or Picloram 22K. To
<br />control pricklypear while providing improved control of mesquite, Tordon' or Picloram 22K
<br />may also be applied in combination with Reclaim'. Refer to the Tordon" or Picloram 22K and
<br />Reclaim" labels for additional information and treatment recommendations. Apply as an
<br />oilfwater emulsion in 4 gallons or more total volume per acre for aerial applications or in 10
<br />gallons or more total volume per acre for ground applications. Use no more than 1 gallon of
<br />oil per acre for both aerial and ground application.
<br />South Texas Mixed Brush (Mesquite, Pricklypear Cactus, Blackbrush, Twisted Acacia
<br />and Granjeno)
<br />If pricklypear is a problem, apply 1 to 2 pints of Alligare Triclopyr 4 in a tank mixture with 2
<br />pints of Tordon` or Picloram 22K per acre. If mesquite is the prevalent species apply 1 to 2
<br />pints of Alligare Triclopyr 4 with 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints of Reclaim" per acre. Alligare Triclopyr 4
<br />contributes to the control of non -legume species such as granjeno and oaks; however, for
<br />improved control if primarily woody legume species are present, apply 2 pints of Tordon' or
<br />Picloram 22K per acre in combination with 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints of Reclaim' per acre. Refer to
<br />the Tordon' or Picloram 22K and Reclaim' labels for additional information and treatment
<br />recommendations. Apply as an oil/water emulsion in 4 gallons or more total volume per acre
<br />for aerial applications or in 15 gallons or more total volume per acre for ground applications.
<br />Use no more than 1 gallon of oil per acre for both aerial and ground application. For accept-
<br />able brush control, an oil/water emulsion and good spray coverage is critical..
<br />Sand Shinnery Oak Suppression
<br />In Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, for suppression of shinnery oak growing on sandy
<br />soils apply Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone at a rate of % to 2 pints per acre. Following suppres-
<br />sion, grass response may be significant if rainfall is adequate.. Deferring grazing after
<br />application together with proper grazing management is recommended to allow for the
<br />reestablishment of grass stands.
<br />Post Oak and Blackjack Oak— Regrowth Stands
<br />Apply when oak leaves are fully developed (expanded) in late spring to early summer (May -
<br />July). Use 2 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone or in tank mix combination with 0.5 to 1 pint
<br />of 2,4-D low -volatile ester herbicide per acre. Apply as an oil/water emulsion or water sur-
<br />factant dilution in at least 5 gallons per acre total volume by fixed -wing aircraft or helicopter
<br />or 15 to 25 gallons per acre total volume by ground equipment. Use no more than 1 gallon
<br />of oil per acre for both aerial and ground application. For suppression only, lower rates may
<br />be used. Control will require at least 3 consecutive treatments. Note: Because regrowth
<br />plants have a large root mass relative to top growth, delay broadcast treatment until top
<br />growth is at least 4 ft. tall in order for the top growth to intercept and translocate sufficient
<br />herbicide to control the roots.
<br />High Volume Foliage Treatment: For regrowth less than 4 ft tall, apply 2 quarts of Alligare
<br />Triclopyr 4 per 100 gallons of water and 2 quarts of ag surfactant alone or in tank mix com-
<br />bination with 1 gallon of Grazon' P+D or 1 quart of Tordon` or Picloram 22K. Apply to
<br />individual plants as a high volume leaf -stem treatment using ground equipment.
<br />Post Oak and Blackjack Oak — Mature Stands
<br />To control mature stands (greater than 5 ft tall), apply 2 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 per acre
<br />when oak leaves are fully developed (expanded) in late spring to early summer (May -July).
<br />When using Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone, some understory species such as winged elm, buck -
<br />brush, tree huckleberry and ash occurring in some areas will be suppressed or defoliated but
<br />not controlled. Where these understory species occur, control may be improved by tank mix-
<br />ing 2 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 4 with 1 quart of Tordon' or Picloram 22K or 4 quarts of
<br />Grazon' P+D per acre. For best results, apply using fixed -wing aircraft or helicopter as an
<br />oil/water emulsion in a total volume of 5 or more gallons per acre.
<br />Other Susceptible Woody Plants
<br />Apply 2 to 4 pints of Alligare Triclopyr 4 alone or in combination with 2 to 3 quarts of 3.8 lb/gal
<br />2,4-D low volatile ester or amine formulation per acre. If applications are made when plants
<br />are mature late in the summer, during drought conditions, or if difficult to control species such
<br />as ash, choke cherry, elm, maple or oaks are prevalent on the site, use the higher rates of
<br />Alligare Triclopyr 4, alone or with 2,4-D. For increased control of certain species, Alligare
<br />Triclopyr 4 may also be applied in a tank mixture with Grazon' P+D or Tordon' or Picloram
<br />22K, refer to the labels for Grazon" P+D and Tordon' or Picloram 22K for additional informa-
