AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent spray drift regulations, they must be observed.

USE RESTRICTIONS
x Do not apply this product when weather conditions favor spray drift from treated areas.
x Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions, including fog.
x Do not apply to frozen or snow covered soil.
x Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or other desirable vegetation.
x Do not apply within 300 yards of non-dormant pome and stone fruit.
x Do not apply to powdery soils or soils that are susceptible to wind displacement unless irrigation can be applied immediately after application.

PRECAUTIONS
x When applying by air, observe drift management restrictions and precautions listed under
“AERIAL APPLICATION”.
x Mechanical incorporation into the soil will reduce residual weed control.
x Make Post directed and layby applications of Chateau Herbicide only to healthy growing crops.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Application Methods
Chateau Herbicide can be applied by ground, by air, through sprinkler irrigation systems (Chemigation) and with dry bulk fertilizers.

Application Equipment
Use clean application equipment in good repair. Nozzles must meet manufacturer’s instructions for spray pattern and placement on spray boom and be checked frequently for accuracy.

Sprayer Preparation
Before applying Chateau Herbicide start with clean, well maintained application equipment. The spray tank, as well as all hoses and booms, must be cleaned to ensure no residue from the previous spraying operation remains in the sprayer. Some pesticides, including but not limited to, the sulfonylurea and phenoxy herbicides, (i.e. Classic® and 2,4-D, respectively) are active at very small amounts and can cause crop injury when applied to susceptible crops. The spray equipment must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s directions for the last product used before the equipment is used to apply Chateau Herbicide. If two or more products were tank mixed prior to Chateau Herbicide application, follow the most restrictive cleanup procedure.

Mixing Instructions
1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 of desired level with clean water.
2. If a drift retardant is to be used, add 10 lb of spray grade ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons of spray solution.
3. While agitating, slowly add Chateau Herbicide to the spray tank. Agitation will create a rippling or rolling action on the water surface.
4. If tank mixing Chateau Herbicide with other labeled herbicides, add water soluble bags first, followed by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate spray operation.
5. Add any required adjuvants.
6. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Continue agitation until all spray solution has been applied.
7. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Apply Chateau Herbicide within 6 hours of mixing.
