DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read entire label before using I this product. 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.

RESTRICTIONS:
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use in or near a greenhouse.
Do not feed/graze soybean forage or harvest hay for 60 days following any 2,4-DB application.
Do not apply Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 directly to or otherwise permit it to come in contact with cotton, okra, grapes, tomatoes, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, or other desirable crop or ornamental plants. Do not permit spray mist to drift onto susceptible plants because very small quantities of 2,4-DB can cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods. Use coarse sprays to minimize drift. Do not apply with nozzles that produce fine spray droplets.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 can be applied by ground or aerial application. The following provides methods of application for each crop.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Spray tank residues of 2,4-D or MCPA mixed with Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 can cause serious crop or ornamental plant injury. A sprayer previously used to apply these chemicals must be thoroughly cleaned with alkali and water before applying Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2. Be sure sprayer is clean before applying Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2. Local conditions may affect the use of herbicides. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station, Farm Advisors, or Extension Weed Specialists for advice in selecting treatment from this label to best fit local conditions. INJURY TO CROPS FROM THIS HERBICIDE MAY OCCUR. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT SOME DEGREE OF CROP INJURY, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.
Crop varieties vary in response to 2,4-DB and some are easily injured. Apply Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 only to varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-DB. If you are uncertain concerning tolerant varieties or local use situations that may affect crop tolerance to 2,4-DB, consult your seed company, state Agricultural Extension Service or qualified crop consultant for advice. Be sure that use of this product conforms to all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Certain states have restrictions pertaining to application distances from susceptible crops. The applicator must become familiar with these laws, rules, or regulations and follow them exactly.

PRECAUTIONS
Mixing and Loading: Most cases of ground water contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-DB have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution must be exercised when handling 2,4-DB pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of ground water supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment directly on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent ground water contamination.
Drift from ground application may be reduced by: (1) keeping the spray boom as near to the crop as possible in order to obtain complete coverage; (2) by applying 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; (3) by using no more than 20 pounds of pressure at the nozzle tips; and (4) by not spraying when wind exceeds 5 miles per hour.
Drift from aerial application may be reduced by: (1) applying as near to the target as possible to obtain adequate coverage; (2) by applying 5 or more gallons of spray per acre; (3) by using 20 pounds pressure or less at the nozzle tips; (4) by using nozzles which produce a coarse spray pattern; and (5) by spraying when there is no possibility for a temperature inversion at time of spraying. Applications by aircraft, ground rig and hand sprayers must be carried out only when there is no hazard from spray drift.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the listed amount of Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2. Use the lower rates of Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 shown under each crop when weeds are young and actively growing. Use the higher rates of Marks 2,4-DB DMA 2 listed when weeds are larger and not growing rapidly. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application.
