DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

USE PRECAUTIONS - OBSERVE CAREFULLY.

1. Do not pour spray solutions near these plants.
2. Do not spray on carpetgrass, dichondra nor on lawns or turf where desirable clovers are present.
3. Use only lawn type sprayers.
4. Avoid application to exposed active feeder roots of shallow-rooted trees such as poplar species and sensitive ornamentals. Do not exceed specified dosages for any area.
5. Do not use this product on or near desirable plants, including contact of spray on exposed root systems or adventitious shoots within the drip line of desirable trees and shrubs, since injury may result.
6. Do not spray bermudagrass or zoysiagrass while emerging from dormancy, unless injury can be tolerated.
7. Applications to newly seeded lawns may cause injury. Delay application until well established or after two or three mowings.
8. Do not broadcast apply when air temperatures exceed 90 deg F; some injury may be expected with spot treatments when air temperatures exceed 90 deg F.
9. Seed can be sown 3 to 4 weeks after application.
10. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation waters.
11. Some injury can be expected to turf when used on centipedegrass or St. Augustinegrass; only spot spray weeds on these types of grasses. Clover will be damaged if sprayed.
12. After using this product, clean sprayer with soap or detergent and water, and rinse thoroughly before applying other pesticides.
13. Failure to observe the above precautions may result in injury to desirable plants.
14. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

ORNAMENTAL LAWNS, ORNAMENTAL TURFGRASS, GOLF COURSES AND SOD FARMS - As Broadcast Treatments:

Apply 3.0 to 4.0 pints of product per acre per application with spray volumes of 20 to 240 gallons per acre. Maximum control of weeds will be obtained from spring or early fall applications when weeds are
actively growing. Avoid applying during long excessively dry or hot periods unless adequate irrigation is available. Do not apply to newly seeded turf until well-established or after the second or third mowing.
Grass seed can be sown 3 to 4 weeks after application at the recommended rates.

Limitations on broadcast treatments for turfgrass on all use sites:

The maximum application rate is 4.0 pints of product per acre per application. The maximum number of broadcast applications is limited to 2 per year with a minimum of 30 days between applications. The
maximum seasonal rate is 8.0 pints of product per acre per year, excluding spot treatments.

Agricultural Use Requirements (cont.) Limitations on spot treatments for all use sites:

Spot treatment is defined as a treatment area no greater than 1,000 sq.ft. per acre. The maximum application rate is 1.5 fl.oz. per 1,000 sq.ft. per application. The maximum number of spot treatments is
limited to 2 per year with a minimum of 30 days between applications.

BENTGRASS TURF:

In closely-mowed bentgrass (putting and bowling greens) apply at a maximum rate of 1 fluid ounce of product per 1,500 square feet, preferably in May or mid-August through September. Slight turf yellowing will disappear after about one week.

NOTE: Care should be taken to avoid overdosing bentgrass or injury may result. High spray volumes (i.e., 1 fluid ounce of product in 5 gallons of water per 1,500 square feet) will aid in obtaining uniform coverage. If hand-operated sprayers are used, it is preferable to use a single nozzle sprayer rather than a multiple nozzle boom. Sweeping movements with a multiple nozzle boom will result in heavy local overapplication and subsequent turf discoloration or injury.

Environmental Hazards:

This pesticide may adversely affect non-target plants. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.
