Butoxone M 40 EC, 5 liters

PRODUCT INFORMATION
NOTE: Avoid spray drift to susceptible plants and crops: cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, ornamentals, etc. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift.
Spray equipment previously used to apply another phenoxy must be thoroughly cleaned with alkali and water before use with Butoxone. Similarly, after using Butoxone, wash sprayer thoroughly before using again to spray susceptible crops. Observe all caution and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures. Use agitation to keep solution well mixed, especially if it has been allowed to stand unagitated.
Calibrate sprayer accurately.
Do not apply when crop is stressed from lack of moisture.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use in or near greenhouses.

ALFALFA
Application:
For use in seedling alfalfa, spray when the crop has reached the 1 to 2 trifoliate leaf stage and growing conditions are good. In established alfalfa, certain weeds will emerge in the fall and over winter in a rosette stage. Best control of these weeds will result from application in late Fall or early Winter rather than in the Spring. Do not apply after flowering.

When To Apply:
Weeds must be in the young seedling stage and actively growing to achieve satisfactory results. For best results spray weeds in the 2 to 5 leaf stage of growth.

Amount to Use:
Apply this product as an overall spray by ground sprayer or airplane. Apply at rates listed below according to weed problems. Use the higher rate if weeds are past the seedling stage. Aerial applications should be made in at least 5 gallons of water per acre, while ground sprayer applications should be made in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. Higher spray gallonage per acre will give better coverage and weed control. Spray gallonage should give adequate coverage of the weeds without run-off. The use of a non ionic or nonionic/anionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate approved for agricultural uses at their label rates will usually result in better weed control, especially if weeds are beyond the seedling stage.

Alfalfa Use Restrictions:
Do not graze established alfalfa, nor feed straw or hay from established alfalfa to meat or dairy livestock within 30 days after application. Do not graze or feed seedling alfalfa to meat or dairy livestock within 60 days after application. Irrigation, in particular overhead sprinkler irrigation, should be delayed as long as possible following application of this product to avoid washing the chemical into the root zone. Do not apply when crop is stressed from lack of moisture.

PEANUTS
Application:
Apply this product postemergent as an overall spray by ground sprayer or airplane. With ground applications, use a boom sprayer with flat fan-type nozzle. Adjust the height of the boom above the crop so the growing terminals of weeds are sprayed. Use low pressure Do not use boom jet nozzles. With airplane applications, this product has been successfully applied using 5 gallons of total solution per acre. The height of the application should insure through coverage of the tops of the weeds. Best control has resulted from airplane application with coarse spray when cocklebur is at least crop high and actively growing. Other weed species should be in the seedling stage and actively growing. Airplane application is not recommended in the vicinity of susceptible crops. Do not apply if peanuts are suffering from lack of moisture.

SOYBEANS
Application:
Apply this product postemergent as an overall spray by ground sprayer or airplane. With ground applications, use a boom sprayer with flat fan-type nozzles. Adjust the height of the boom above the crop so the growing terminals of all weeds are sprayed. Use low pressure. Do not use boom jet nozzles. With airplane applications, this product has been successfully applied using 5 gallons of total spray solution per acre. The height of the application should insure thorough coverage of the tops of the weeds. Best control has resulted when cocklebur is at least crop high and actively growing. Airplane application is not recommended in the vicinity of susceptible crops. Do not apply if soybeans are suffering from lack of moisture.

Soybean Use Precautions:
While some temporary twisting of soybean plants may follow an application, this will have little or no permanent effect on the crop.
Applications made under adverse growing conditions, such as periods of drought, will result in injury to the beans; under such conditions the crop should not be sprayed.

Soybean Use Restrictions:
Do not spray this product on soybeans showing a general infestation of Phytophthora.
Do not apply more than the amount specified on this label.
Do not harvest soybeans within 60 days after application.
Do not feed/graze soybean forage or harvest hay for 60 days following any 2,4-DB application.
Do not use on soybeans grown West of the Rocky Mountains.

STORAGE: Store at temperatures above 32°F. If product is allowed to freeze, warm and agitate thoroughly before using. Store in a secure warehouse or storage building inaccessible to children and domestic animals. Avoid storing near open containers of fertilizer, seed or other pesticides.
