DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This label must be in possession of the user at the time of pesticide application. 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 Best Management Practices (BMPs) for minimizing surface runoff in the following areas:
• Poorly drained or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface water
• Areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water
• Areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water
• Areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips
• Areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water
When used on erodible soils, BMPs for minimizing runoff should be followed. Consult your local soil conservation service for recommendations in your use area.
