GENERAL INFORMATION
SMOKE is blend of special surfactants and water conditioning agents designed for use with a broad range of herbicides. It is particularly effective with herbicide products based on glyphosate. The addition of SMOKE to a spray tank improves herbicide application by modifying the wetting and deposition characteristics of the spray mixture resulting in a more even and uniform spray deposit. SMOKE is also effective for increasing the degree and rate that some herbicides are absorbed in plant tissue. Optimum application and effects, however, can be influenced by the crop, pest, spray equipment, spray volume, pressure, droplet size, spray mixture and environmental factors.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FOR USE WITH HERBICIDE PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, ORNAMENTAL, RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND TURF.
The addition of an adjuvant to some herbicides or herbicide tank mix combinations may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops. Prior to the addition of SMOKE to spray tank mixes or prior to the use of SMOKE with a herbicide where an adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial if SMOKE is to be applied directly to crops or other desirable vegetation. SMOKE may be applied by Ground, CDA, Aerial equipment and any other type spray equipment recommended by herbicide labels.
Ground, Aerial, CDA: Use 2-8 pints / 100 gallons of spray mixture.
Water Conditioning: Use 1-4 quarts per 100 gallons of water.
NOTE: The above use recommendations are considered to be adequate for mostuses. Some herbicides, however, may require higher or lower rates for optimum effect.Follow the herbicide label directions when this occurs.
MIXING
Prior to any herbicide application all spray mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the herbicide label.
Fill spray tank one-half full with water and begin agitation. Add herbicides and/or fertilizers as directed by labeling or in the following sequence:
1. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules
2. Wettable powders
3. Flowables
4. Solutions
5. Emulsifiable concentrates and continue filling. Add SMOKE last and continue agitating
