DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Field Sprayer Application
DO NOT apply during p eriods of dead calm. A void application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than th e American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Aerial Application (Cereals [not underseeded to legumes] in Western Canada only)
DO NOT apply during p eriods of dead calm. A void application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at fl ying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply wit h spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom len gth MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wingspan or rotor span.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuarine or marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation/drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

Surface Runoff
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site b efore treatment. Site characterist ics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to, heavy rain fall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured or low in organic matter such as clay).
Potential contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including an untreated vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecast.

Leaching
The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.
