Not more than 10% of a farm unit should be treated per day. Chlorophenoxy herbi-
cides should not be applied within one-half mile of susceptible crops except under
the most carefully controlled and supervised conditions. These chemicals should
not be applied when wind velocity exceeds 8 mph in isolated areas nor when wind
exceeds 4 mph when sensitive crops are grown less than 2 miles downwind. The
safest formulations are the salts, particularly amine salts. The above rules-of-
thumb are guides not guarantees for prevention of damage. For more detailed infor-
mation refer to Mimeo Reports EES64-12 and EES65-21.

READ THE LABEL

 Labels on herbicide containers should be read and understood prior to use of
the chemical contained therein. This is the final and most appropriate guide to
economical and successful chemical usage.
