DIRECTIONS FOR USE

APPLICATION INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Additional Environmental Precautions
• As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

APPLICATION IN FIELDS ADJACENT TO AQUATIC AREAS:
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES.
Do not apply to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff is hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
• Do not cultivate within 3 metres of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.

GROUND APPLICATION:
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 S572.1) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
1. Use well-maintained and calibrated conventional spray equipment, which provides adequate and uniform coverage.
2. Apply PROSARO PRO in a minimum of 100 L water/ha.
3. Spray screens should be no finer than 50 mesh.
4. Ensure that the by-pass line discharges at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming.
5. Maintain pressure at no less than 275 kPa to ensure good foliage penetration and coverage.
6. Provincial buffer zones that are greater than the buffer zones indicated in the

DIRECTIONS FOR USE, Section 9.3, should be respected.
7. If spray mixture remains in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day, agitate thoroughly prior to application.

AERIAL APPLICATION-GENERAL INFORMATION:
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 flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the
American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. Reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices. Nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
1. 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.
2. 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. If you have questions, call 1-888-283-6847 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.
3. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking technology. GPS based marking is preferred.
4. Apply PROSARO PRO in a minimum of 50 L of water/ha.
5. To ensure proper coverage and distribution and to minimize drift, check to see that swath width and droplet size are adequate, and that wind velocities are low.

AERIAL APPLICATION-USE PRECAUTIONS:
1. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage.
2. 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.

AERIAL APPLICATION- OPERATOR PRECAUTIONS:
1. DO NOT allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted.
2. It is desirable that the pilot has communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
3. The field crew and the mixer/loaders: Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles or face shield, socks and boots during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair.
4. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking.
5. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
6. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-888-283-6847 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Volume: Apply the recommended rate in a minimum spray volume of 50 litres per hectare
