APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
FIELD SPRAYER APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) fine classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
AIRBLAST APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends, and outer rows. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.
AERIAL APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured from a height of two metres off the ground. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) fine classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
FOR AERIAL APPLICATION: A minimum of 30 L/ha of spray solution per hectare is specified. Use a boom pressure of 235 kPa or less. Avoid placing nozzles where spray will enter wing tip vortices.

AERIAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Use only where aerial application is indicated on this label. Apply only by fixed-wind or rotary aircraft equipment that has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. This product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment, where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
Use Precautions: Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the Basic Knowledge Requirements for Pesticide Education in Canada: Applicator Core and Aerial Module, developed by CAPCO.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Use low nozzle pressure (below 235 kPa). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and directions pose a risk of spray drift.
Do not spray in winds exceeding 10 km per hour. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat. Do not allow spray to drift onto sensitive areas such as water, urban and residential areas.
Buffer zones: Appropriate buffer zone should be left between the edge of the treated field and environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, sloughs, rivers, houses and farm buildings and other crops grown for food.
Operator Precautions: Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loader must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shields during the mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft and cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Do not use human flaggers.
