PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
CAUTION
Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. In case of contact, wash with plenty of water.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):
Applicators and other handlers must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, waterproof gloves, and shoes plus socks. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and
wash PPE separately from other laundry.
ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS:
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as
specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Avoid spray drift as this product may injure susceptible crops and plants such as cotton, beans, grape, tomatoes, and ornamentals.
(Coarse sprays are less likely to drift.) Do not use same spray equipment for other purposes unless thoroughly cleaned prior to use.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
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 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 regulations.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of
agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also
contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE)
and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker
Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with
anything that has been treated such as plants, soil or water is coveralls, waterproof gloves, and shoes plus socks.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This product will provide safe and effective postemergence control or suppression of Canada thistle in field peas. This product will also
provide control or suppression of several annual broadleaf weeds such as common lambsquarters, pigweed, smartweed, sowthistle,
and morningglories. Canada thistle is a particularly troublesome weed in pea fields, because it can reduce pea yields through
competition, and because flower buds of the weed are difficult to remove from the harvested crop, resulting in loss of crop quality and
reduced cash value to the grower.
MIXING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the recommended amount of this product. Add water to the
spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application. For ground
application, apply in 20 to 40 gallons of water per acre, using a maximum spray pressure of 40 psi. For aerial application, apply in 5
to 10 gallons of water per acre.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPLYING THIS PRODUCT
Peas are tolerant to this product from shoot emergence until about 3 leaf nodes before flowering. Typically, pea plants have developed
6 to 12 nodes at the normal time of Canada thistle treatment. Do not apply this product later than 3 nodes before pea flowering or after
pea flower buds appear, as yield may be adversely affected. Most pea varieties may be safely sprayed with this product, however,
temporary twisting of some pea varieties may follow application. Check with state weed extension specialist or local canning company
representatives.
