Uses and Application

Apply Gemini 3.7 SC in a minimum of 20 gallons/acre (0.5 gallons/1,000 sq ft) of carrier (water) using a calibrated, low-pressure sprayer with 50-mesh or coarser screens. A broadcast boom or handheld wand designed for herbicide or insecticide application will provide the best results. Select nozzle pressure and gallonage to provide complete coverage.

New Plantings, Replanting and Rotational Plantings

Rotate nursery areas treated with Gemini 3. 7 SC only to ornamental species listed on this label for 1 (one) year following application unless the following test has shown species safety:

• Before planting a species not listed on this label, sow several test strips of an indicator plant such as wheat, sorghumor corn into the treated area. If the indicator plants germinate and grow normally to a height of 12 inches with normalroot development, it is safe to plant.

In areas disturbed by new plantings or replanting of labeled species, it may be necessary to retreat exposed soil to maintain satisfactory weed control, but do not apply more than 87 fl. oz./acre per year.

MIXING GEMINI 3.7 SC
When Used Alone
Mix Gemini 3.7 SC thoroughly in the spray tank to ensure uniform application. Steps to follow when mixing Gemini 3.7 SC include:

1. Filling the spray tank 1/4 full with clean water only;
2. Starting the agitation system and checking to ensure it is working properly;
3. Maintaining vigorous agitation in the spray tank before and during the application to ensure a well-mixed spray suspension;
4. Adding a spray colorant with Gemini 3.7 SC to mark treated areas and improve application accuracy by minimizing swath skips and overlaps; and
5. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer by flushing the system with water containing a detergent.

When Used in Tank Mixtures
Gemini 3.7 SC can be applied in tank-mixtures with certain other EPA-registered herbicides to provide a broader spectrum of weed control and/or to control emerged weeds. Refer to the specific directions for use for tank-mix partners, and refer to the label(s) of the individual tank-mix partner(s) for use rate, application timing, weeds controlled, and specific precautions and/or restrictions. Tank mixes are permitted only in States where the tank-mix partner(s) are registered for the application site and the ornamental species listed. When using Gemini 3.7 SC in a tank mixture with other pesticides, follow restrictions and precautions on the labels of the products used.

When mixing Gemini 3.7 SC with other components (carrier and partner pesticide products), allow products to completely dissolve between steps and be sure to maintain agitation throughout mixing and application. When products are to be tank-mixed with Gemini 3.7 SC, add them to the spray tank in the following order:

1. Products packaged in water-soluble bags. Agitate the tank mixture. Allow the water-soluble bags to completely dissolve and the products to disperse before adding any other tank-mix partners.
2. Water-dispersible granules (WDG or WG formulations) and wettable powders (WP formulations). Add wettable powders to the tank as agitation continues. Allow the product to disperse completely beforeother products are added.
3. Spray adjuvants and spray markers. Read the adjuvants label first and use only those adjuvants approved for application to ornamentals.
4. Gemini 3.7 SC, other flowable liquids (FL) or suspension concentrates (SC) must be added next.
5. Add emulsifiable concentrates (EC) last.
