2,4-D LV 4Plant Protection Product ComparisonPlant Protection Product ComparisonReport inaccuraciesReport inaccuracies

Low-volatile phenoxy herbicide formulation that controls a variety of broadleaf weeds across a range of crops. Best results are obtained when product is applied to young, succulent weeds that are actively growing. The lower recommended rates will be satisfactory on susceptible annual weeds. For perennial weeds and conditions such as the very dry areas of the western states, where control is difficult, the higher recommended rates should be used. When 2,4-D LV 4 is used for weed control in crops, growth stage of the crop must be considered. Some plants and weeds, especially woody varieties, are difficult to control and may require repeat applications. Application rates should be 2-10 gallons of total spray by air or 5-25 gallons by ground equipment, unless otherwise directed. In either case, use the same amount of 2,4-D recommended per acre.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Performance of this product may be affected by local conditions, crop varieties, and application method. User should consult local Extension Service, Agricultural Experiment or University Weed Specialists, and state regulatory agencies for recommendations in your area. Best results are obtained when product is applied to young succulent weeds that are actively growing. The lower recommended rates will be satisfactory on susceptible annual weeds. For perennial weeds and conditions such as the very dry areas of the western states, where control is difficult, the higher recommended rates should be used. When product is used for weed control in crops, the growth stage of the crop must be considered. Some plants and weeds, especially woody varieties, are difficult to control and may require repeat applications. Application rates should be 2 to 10 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground equipment unless otherwise directed. In either case, use the same amount of 2,4-D recommended per acre. For crop uses, do not mix with oil, surfactants, or other adjuvants unless specifically recommended. To do so may reduce herbicide’s selectivity and could result in crop damage. Aerial applications should be used only when there is no danger of drift to susceptible crops. Many states have regulations concerning aerial application of 2,4-D formulations. Consult local regulatory authorities before making applications. Although this product is a low volatile formulation, at temperatures above 90°F vapors may damage susceptible crops growing nearby. Product should not be allowed to come into contact with desirable, susceptible plants such as beans, cotton, fruit trees, grapes, legumes, ornamentals, peas, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Product should not be used in greenhouses. Excessive amounts of this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and all plant growth. If stored below freezing, efficacy is not affected if product is warmed to 40°F and agitated before using. Spray equipment used to apply 2,4-D should not be used for any other purpose until thoroughly cleaned. Spray Preparation: Add the recommended amount of product to approximately 1/2 the volume of water to be used for spraying. Agitate well, then add the remainder of the water. Continue agitation during application until spray tank is empty.

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: • Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on the respective product labels. • Do not exceed recommended application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosage that may be used.

USE IN LIQUID NITROGEN FERTILIZER: Product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliage application in corn, grass, pastures, or small grains in one operation. Use product according to directions on this label for those crops. Use liquid nitrogen fertilizer at rates recommended by supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Mix the product and fertilizer according to the following instructions: Fill the spray tank approximately 1/2 full with the liquid nitrogen fertilizer. Add the product while agitating the tank. Add the remainder of the fertilizer while continuing to agitate. Apply immediately, maintaining agitation during application until tank is empty. DO NOT APPLY DURING COLD (NEAR FREEZING) WEATHER. Spray mixture must be used immediately and may not be stored. Note: (1) If good, continuous agitation is not maintained, separation of the spray mixture and/or clogging of the nozzles is likely to occur. Note: (2) If user’s spray program includes frequent application of 2,4-D in liquid fertilizer, consideration should be given to using SOLVE™ 2,4-D which is specially designed and formulated for such use. 7 SPRAYER CLEAN-OUT To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply this product should be thoroughly cleaned before re-use or applying other chemicals. 1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three times with water. Dispose of all rinse water by application to treatment area or apply to non-cropland area away from water supplies. 2. During the second rinse, add 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the solution through entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15–20 minutes). Let the solutions stand for several hours, preferably overnight. 3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom. 4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time. 5. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately. 6. If equipment is to be used to apply another pesticide or agricultural chemical to a 2,4-D susceptible crop, additional steps may be required to remove all traces of 2,4-D including cleaning of disassembled parts and replacement of hoses or other fittings that may contain absorbed 2,4-D.
