GENERAL INFORMATION
Banvel + 2,4-0 is a selective postemergence herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial, and perennial broad leaf weeds and brush in grass forages and selected row crops.

MODE OF ACTION
Banvel + 2,4-0 contains two active ingredients: dicamba and 2,4-0. Banvel + 2,4-0 is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumUlates in areas of active growth. Banvel + 2,4-0 interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleaf weeds.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer's directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage: Do not store below 32 degrees F or above 100 degrees F. Store in original container in a well ventilated area separately from fertilizer, feed, and
foodstuffs. Avoid cross-contamination with other pesticides.
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Wastes resulting from this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. Improper disposal -' of excess pesticide,' spray mix, or rinsate is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to label instructions contact the state agency responsible for pesticide regulation or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

Container Disposal:
Plastic or Metal Containers: Triple rinse (or equivalent) and add rinsate to spray tank. Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. if burned, stay out of smoke. Bulk/Mini-bulk Containers: Reusable containers should be returned to the point of purchase for cleaning and refilling because the container must be thoroughly cleaned before refilling.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply Banvel + 2,4-D at the rates and growth stages listed in Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless instructed differently by Crop-Specific Restrictions in the Crop-Specific Information sections. Applications can be made to actively growing weeds as aerial, broadcast, band, or spot spray applications. Banvel + 2,4-D may be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. Sprayable fluid fertilizer may be used as the carrier in preplant or preemergence uses for all crops listed on this label. Postemergence uses with sprayable fluid fertilizer may be made on pasture, hayland, or wheat crops only. The most effective application rate and timing varies based on the target weed species (refer to Table 1). In mixed populations of weeds the correct rate is determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent adequate control.

IRRIGATION
In irrigated areas, it may be 'necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure activeweed growth.

SPRAY COVERAGE
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, realtive humidity) and methods of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.

Droplet Size
When applying sprays that contains 2,4-0 as the sole ingredient, or when applying. sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active ingredients that require a Coarse or coar~er spray, apply only as a Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE stndard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter pf 300 microns or grater for spinning atomizer nozzles. 

Wind Speed
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind directions favor on-target deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a' medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field.

Temperature Inversions
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions orstable atmospheric conditions.

Susceptible Plants
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage) ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes; beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Smail amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible broad leaf plants.

Other State and Local Requirements
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.

Equipment
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.
Aerial application requirements: The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height
consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This requirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications. Ground application requirements: Do not apply witha nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
