DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

USE PRECAUTIONS:
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. Avoid spray drift to any desirable vegetation NOT listed on this label as damage may occur.
Avoid contamination of ponds, streams, rivers, lakes and other water sources. Do not spray during periods of high winds when spray is likely to drift. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. Do not spray during periods of high temperatures when crops may be under stress as damage to the crop may occur.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands, estuaries or marine habitats. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

TIMING:
For best results spray when weeds are in the seedling stage. Apply in good growing conditions.
Application must be made before the crop shields the weeds. One application per year.

SPRAYER:
Wash the tank and clean all filters, screens and tips. Select nozzle tips to apply the recommended volume per hectare. Flood jet type tips are not recommended. Adjust boom height to ensure uniform coverage of the weeds. Ensure that all tips are in good condition and spraying the same volume.

MIXING:
Half fill the tank with clean water. Add the required amount of SWIPE HERBICIDE and agitate thoroughly. Fill the tank and agitate again before 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 S572.1) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. For ground applications, spray at 5 to 10 kph.

AERIAL APPLICATION:
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 rate 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 during periods of dead calm. Avoid application 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) coarse classification. Reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices. Nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

Volume: SWIPE HERBICIDE must be applied in volume rates of not less than 30 L/ha. For best results when there is a heavy crop canopy, or when the majority of the weeds are cow cockle, smartweed or pigweed, a volume rate of 40 L/ha is recommended.
