7.4 - SURFACTANTS Additional surfactants labeled for use with herbicides may be used. Do not reduce application rates of this herbicide when adding surfactants. Read and carefully observe cautionary statements and other information appearing on the additives label. 7.5 - COLORANTS OR DYES Agriculturally approved colorants or marking dyes may be added to this product. Colorants or dyes used in spray solutions of this product may reduce performance, especially at lower rates or dilutions. Use colorants or dyes according to the manufacturer's recommendations. 7.6 - DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES Drift control additives may be used with all equipment types, except wiper applicators, sponge bars and CDA equipment. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the additive label. NOTE: The use of drift control additives can affect spray coverage which may result in reduced performance. 8.0 - APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. This product may be applied with the following application equipment: • Aerial — Fixed Wing and Helicopter • Ground Broadcast Spray — Boom or boomless systems, pull -type sprayer, floaters, pick-up sprayers, spray coupes and other ground broadcast equipment. • Hand -Held or High -Volume Spray Equipment — Knapsack and backpack sprayers, pump -up pressure sprayers, handguns, handwands, mistblowers`, lances and other hand-held and motorized spray equipment used to direct the spray onto weed foliage. • Selective Equipment — Shielded and hooded sprayers, wiper applicators and sponge bars. • Injection Systems — Aerial or ground injection sprayers. • Controlled Droplet Applicator (CDA) — Hand-held or boom -mounted applicators which produce a spray consisting of a narrow range of droplet sizes. *This product is not registered in California or Arizona for use in mistblowers. APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLUTIONS IN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CALIBRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF DELIVERING DESIRED VOLUMES. 8.1 - AERIAL EQUIPMENT DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL. FOR AERIAL APPLICATION IN CALIFORNIA AND ARKANSAS, REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS SPECIFIC TO THOSE STATES. This product plus dicamba tank mixtures may not be applied by air in California. Use the specified rates of this herbicide in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre unless otherwise specified on this label. Unless otherwise specified, do not exceed 1 quart per acre. Aerial applications of this product may be made in annual cropping conventional tillage systems, fallow and reduced tillage systems and preharvest applications. Refer to the individual use area sections of this label for recommended volumes and application rates. Ensure uniform application — To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices. AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. The interaction of many equipment- and weather -related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off -target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see "Wind", "Temperature and Humidity", and "Temperature Inversions" sections of this label). CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE • Volume — Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure — Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of Nozzles — Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation — Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. (continued)
