GENERAL INFORMATION
The level of weed control following YUKON Herbicide application is dependent upon application rate, weed species and size at application time, and growing conditions. For best results, applications should be made to actively growing weeds at the heights defined in the ''USE RATE GUIDE'' sections of this label. Heavy infestations should be treated early before the weeds become too competitive with the crop. When early post emergence treatments are used in corn, sequential applications may be required to control later weed flushes.Soon after YUKON is applied, growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited, and susceptible weeds are no longer competitive with the crop. Following growth inhibition, the leaves and growing point begin to discolor. Complete control typically occurs within 7-14 days depending on the weed size, species and growing conditions.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any 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.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUCTIONS
Applications should be made by ground or aerial equipment to healthy, actively growing weeds. For best results, avoid applications when weeds are under drought stress, disease, or insect damage. Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after application may also reduce effectiveness.

Ground Applications: Apply YUKON Herbicide uniformly with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. Other water-based spray carriers may be used for directed applications, avoiding contact with crop foliage. Select spray volumes that ensure thorough and uniform weed coverage. Choose nozzles that provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate pressure (psi).Use only ground application equipment. Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps, and spray drift during applications. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Avoid disturbing (e.g. cultivation) treated areas for at least 7 days following application.

Aerial Applications: Apply YUKON Herbicide uniformly with properly calibrated equipment in 5 to 15 gallons of water per acre. Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps, and spray drift during applications. This product should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).Avoid disturbing (e.g. cultivation) treated areas for at least 7 days following application. Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after the use of YUKON Herbicide, following the directions under Procedure for CleaningSpray Equipment.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the spray tank to about three-fourths of the desired volume. Add the recommended amount of this product as listed in the ''WEEDS CONTROLLED'' sections. Complete the filling process while maintaining agitation. Remove the hose from the mixing tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. Add non-ionic surfactant, or crop oil concentrate, and other adjuvants as the last ingredients in thetank.
Spray solutions should be applied within 24 hours after mixing.

Adjuvants: A nonionic surfactant (NIS) is the only adjuvant required in the spray solution. Use only nonionic surfactants which are approved by EPA for use on food crops and which contain at least 80 percent active ingredient. Use 0.25 to 0.5 percent nonionic surfactant concentration (1to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution). Crop oil concentrate (COC) may be used with YUKON Herbicide instead of nonionic surfactants. Do not use both NIS and COC in the spraymixture. Add COC to the spray mixture at 1 percent vol./vol. (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray mixture). Use only good quality petroleum- or vegetable-based crop oil concentrates which contain at least 14 percent emulsifiers. Crop oil may cause injury at higher YUKON Herbicide use rates.
Nonionic surfactant OR COC are the only additives necessary for YUKON Herbicide applications. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution (e.g., 28-0-0) may be added to the spray solution to improve the control of certain species, particularly if YUKON Herbicide is being tank mixed with acompanion herbicide which requires use of a liquid nitrogen additive. However, a nonionic surfactant OR COC will still be necessary. Refer to the companion product label for specific additive requirements. Otherwise, add liquid nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 2 to 4 quarts per acre. Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions or suspensions as the total carrier because excessive crop injury may occur. A high quality, spray grade ammonium sulfate (e.g. 21-0-0) may be applied at a rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in place of the liquid nitrogen fertilizer.
