RECROPPING GUIDELINES

To avoid the possibility of injury to subsequent crops after an application of the recommended rate of OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide, follow the crops and replanting interval which appear on this label and the label of the tank mix partner, and always observe the most restrictive replanting interval.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide must be applied with properly calibrated and clean sprayer equipment.
OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide is specially formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean.
1. Fill tank to half full with clean water and begin agitation.
2. Add the correct amount of OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide and continue agitation until thoroughly dispersed. OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
3. Add the correct amount of the dry component(s) of tank-mix partner(s) while continuing agitation and ensure it is fully dispersed before moving to next step.
4. Add the correct amount of the liquid component(s) of tank-mix partner while continuing agitation.
5. As the tank is filling and agitation is continuing, add the required spray adjuvant, liquid nitrogen fertilizer (28% UAN).
6. Add the remaining amount of water while continuing agitation and spray out within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
7. If OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide is to be added to a partial tank of Corn herbicides, pre-slurry OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent tank mix partners from interfering with the dissolution of OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide.
Note: Ensure that all circuits (pipes, booms, etc.) have the correct OPTION 2.25 OD Liquid Herbicide/water concentration before application is started. Use vigorous agitation to thoroughly disperse spray mixtures that have been allowed to stand in the tank.
