DISHA 480 controls broadleaf weeds in cereals, corn, reduced tillage (prior to seeding and reduced tillage fallow), pastures and rangeland grasses, crop-free land (summer fallow and stubble), red fescue, canary seed (Phalaris canariensis), seedling grasses grown for seed and forage and low bush blueberries. Also for control of deciduous and coniferous brush species and broadleaf weeds in non-cropland areas such as roadsides, hydro, pipeline and railway rights-of-way, airports, military bases, turf, wasteland and similar non-crop land areas.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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 or 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 before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include but are not limited to heavy rainfall, 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 for contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including an untreated vegetative strip between the treat area and the edge of the water body.
Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecast.
Leaching
The use of the 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

CEREALS (not underseeded to legumes):
Treatment notes:
1. For best performance, spray when weeds are in the 2 to 3 leaf stage and rosettes are less than 5 cm across.
2. Use the higher level of listed rate ranges when treating more mature weeds or dense vegetative growth.
3. Crop damage can occur if application is made at any time other than the recommended crop stage.
4. Do not apply DISHA 480 or DISHA 480 tank mixes if crop is under-seeded to legumes.

RE-ENTRY INTERVAL:
DO NOT enter treated field until 12 hours after application.

Ground Application:
Apply DISHA 480 or DISHA 480 tank mixes in at least 110 litres of water/ha.
Applicators must wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and chemical-resistant gloves.
Aerial Application (Western Canada only):
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which 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.
Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
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 "National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides."
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

Operator Precautions
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto 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/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label.
All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking.

FIELD CORN
Treatment Notes
1. Apply DISHA 480 or DISHA 480 tank mixes in 220-350 litres of water/ha at a pressure of 150 to 275 kPa. Use coarse sprays.
2. Keep spray mixture in suspension at all times. If mixture is allowed to settle, thoroughly agitate the mixture before spraying.
3. Do not apply to sweet corn.
4. Do not use additives. Oils, wetting agents, emulsifiers, detergents, spreaders, sticking agents, or dispersing agents are not recommended with DISHA 480.
5. Corn height refers to the crop as it stands, not leaf-extended.
6. When using drop pipes (drop nozzles), direct the spray beneath the lower leaves of the corn and onto the weeds and soil. Do not apply to corn over 50 cm in height.
7. Apply no later than 2 weeks prior to tassel emergence when using DISHA 480 alone up to 50 cm.
8. For the best control of annuals, spray when they are actively growing and in the seedling stage. Poor results may occur if weeds are well advanced at the time of application.
9. When applying DISHA 480 adjacent to sensitive crops, apply as a pre-emergent or early post-emergent treatment to avoid potential drift onto these sensitive crops.
Applicators must wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and chemical-resistant gloves.
RE-ENTRY INTERVAL:
DO NOT enter treated field until 12 hours after application.
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
DISHA 480 / LIQUID NITROGEN:
Pre-emergent applications of DISHA 480 Herbicide are generally compatible with most liquid nitrogen fertilizers. To determine compatibility, mix all components of the finished spray in proportionate quantities in a small jar before mixing in the spray tank. If the herbicides do not ball-up or form flakes, sludge, jelly, oily films or layers, or other precipitates within 5 minutes after mixing, the tested spray-mix is compatible.
