DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

USE RESTRICTIONS
SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS
Observe the following requirements when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as but not limited to lakes reservoirs rivers permanent streams marshes or natural ponds estuaries and commercial fish ponds

DROPLET SIZE
Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure For groundboom and aerial applications use only medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASAE (S572) definition for standard nozzles or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures applicators should use a coarser droplet size

WIND DIRECTION AND SPEED
Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph) Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 15 mph For all non aerial applications wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side immediately prior to application

TEMPERATURE INVERSION
Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions
Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increasing distance above the ground Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas Where permissible by local regulations the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures applicators should use a coarser droplet size

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GROUND APPLICATIONS
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy should be avoided For groundboom applications apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy For airblast applications turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer two rows To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications spray must be directed into the canopy

BUFFER ZONES FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
When making a Non ULV application with aerial application equipment a minimum buffer zone of 25 feet must be maintained along any water body

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS
For aerial applications the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft as to minimize drift caused by wmgtip or rotor vortices The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of wing span or 90% rotor diameter Aerial applicators must consider flight speed and nozzle orientation in determining droplet size When applications are made with a cross wind the swath will be displaced downwind The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
