SPRAY ADDITIVES

All surfactants and drift control agents must be approved for food and feed use when used on food and feed sites.

Surfactants: When using surfactants, follow the use directions and precautions listed on the surfactant manufacturer’s label. Use the higher recommended concentrations of surfactant in the spray mixture when applying lower sprayer volumes per acre.

Drift Control Agents: Agriculturally approved spray thickening drift control agents or high viscosity invert systems may be used with Alligare Triclopyr 3. When using these agents, follow all use directions and pre-cautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoil boom, Thru-Valve boom, or other systems that cannot accom-modate thick sprays.

TANK MIXES

Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accor-dance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.

Tank Mixing Recommendations:

1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with water.

2. Add spray thickening agent (if used).

3. Add additional herbicide (if used).

4. Add Alligare Triclopyr 3.

5. Add surfactant (if used).

6. Fill remainder of spray tank.

If combined with emulsifiable concentrate herbicides, moderate continu-ous adequate agitation is required.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

AVOID INJURIOUS DRIFT

Applications should only be made when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities of spray may seriously injure susceptible plants.

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment and weather related fac-tors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications:

1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the rotor.

2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.

Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the informa-tion covered in the following AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY.

[This information is advisory in nature and does not supersede mandatory label requirements.]

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY

Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.

Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).

Controlling Droplet Size:

1. Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.

2. Pressure – Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.

3. Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

4. Nozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orienta-tions and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.

5. Nozzle Type – Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.

Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)

Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph.

However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, deter-mine drift potential at any given speed. Applications should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.

Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.

Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.

Temperature Inversions: Applications should not occur during a local, low level temperature inversion because drift potential is high.

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of the smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

Sensitive Areas: The pesticide should only be applied when the poten-tial 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).

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES

BROADCAST APPLICATIONS

Aerial Application: When making aerial applications on rights-of-way or other areas near susceptible crops, apply through a Microfoil1 or Thru- Valve1 boom, or use an agriculturally approved drift control agent. Other drift reducing systems or thickened sprays prepared by using high viscos-ity inverting systems may be used if they are made as drift-free as are mixtures containing agriculturally approved thickening agents or applica-tions made with the Microfoil or Thru-Valve boom. Keep spray pressures low enough to provide coarse spray droplets. Spray boom should be no longer than 3/4 of the rotor length. Spray only when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid application during air inversions. If a spray thickening agent is used, follow all use directions and precautions on the product label.

The reader is responsible for exercising their own judgment and expertise, or consulting with sources other than Alligare, LLC, in selecting and determining how to use its equipment.

Ground Application: To aid in reducing spray drift, Alligare Triclopyr 3 should be applied in thickened (high viscosity) spray mixtures using an agriculturally approved drift control additive, high viscosity invert system, or equivalent as directed by the manufacturer. Use of low pressure noz-zles; and operating nozzles in the lower end of the manufacturer’s recom-mendations is advised. To minimize drift, keep the spray boom as low as possible, apply in >20 gallons of spray volume per acre, spray when wind velocities are low; or use an approved drift control agent.

In Hand Gun Applications, select the minimum spray pressure that will provide adequate plant coverage (without forming a mist). Do not apply with nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray.

High Volume Leaf-Stem Treatment: To minimize spray drift, do not use pressure exceeding 50 PSI at the spray nozzle and keep sprays no higher than brush tops. An agriculturally approved thickening agent may be used to reduce spray drift.

APPROVED USES

Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for lists of woody plants and broadleaf weeds that are controlled by Alligare Triclopyr 3.

Apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at rates of 0.25 to 3 gallons per acre for the control of broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply in enough water to provide uniform and complete coverage of the plants to be controlled.

Use only water suitable for spraying. Use of an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant is recommended for all foliar applications. For best results make applications when woody plants and weeds are actively growing.

Use higher rates within the range when brush averages 15 feet or more in height or when brush covers >60% of the area to be treated. Re-sprouting may occur the year following treatment if lower rates are used on hard-to-control species. When easy to control brush species dominate, rates below those specified may be effective. Consult State or Local Extension personnel for information.

For hard-to-control species such as ash, black gum, choke cherry, elm, maples, oaks, pines, or winged elm; during late summer applications when plants are mature; or during drought conditions; use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 3 alone or use in combination with Tordon 101 Mixture.

If lower rates are used on hard-to-control species, re-sprouting may occur in the year following treatment.

When applying Alligare Triclopyr 3 in a tank mix with 2, 4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or low volatile ester herbicides, use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 3 for satisfactory brush control.

When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

FOLIAGE APPLICATIONS WITH GROUND EQUIPMENT

High Volume Foliage Applications

For control of woody plants, apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 1 to 3 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution. Make applications in 100 to 400 gallons of total spray per acre depending on size and density of woody plants.

Coverage should be thorough to wet all leaves, stems, and root collars.

Tank Mixing: 1 to 4 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 3 may be tank mixed with 1 to 2 quarts of 2, 4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or low volatile ester or Tordon 101 Mixture diluted to make 100 gallons of spray solution. Make applications in 100 to 400 gallons of total spray per acre depending on size and density of woody plants. When tank mixing, refer to the individ-ual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

Do not exceed maximum allowable use rates per acre. See Rate Table in the Rates Section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS.

Low Volume Foliage Applications

For control of woody plants, mix up to 5 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in 10 to 100 gallons of spray solution. Adjust the spray concentration of Alligare Triclopyr 3 and total spray volume per acre to match the size and density of target woody plants and kinds of spray equipment used.

With low volume sprays, use sufficient spray volume to obtain uniform coverage of target plants including the surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars. For best results, a surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION

DIRECTIONS.

Match equipment and delivery rate of spray nozzles to height and density of woody plants. When treating tall, dense brush, a truck mounted spray gun with spray tips that deliver up to 2 gallons per minute at 40 to 60 PSI may be required. Backpack or other types of specialized spray equipment with spray tips that deliver less than 1 gallon of spray per minute may be appropriate for short, low to moderate density brush.

Tank Mixing: Up to 3 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 may be applied in tank mix combinations with 2 to 4 quarts of Tordon K or 1 to 2 gallons of Tordon 101 Mixture as a low volume foliar spray. These applications should be made in 10 to 100 gallons of spray solution. When tank mix-ing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

BROADCAST APPLICATION WITH GROUND EQUIPMENT

Use equipment that will assure thorough and uniform coverage at spray volumes applied. To improve spray coverage, add an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS. See Maximum Application Rates Table in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS for relationship between mixing rate, spray volume, and maximum application rate.

Woody Plant Control

Foliage Treatment: Apply 2 to 3 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in 20 to 100 gallons of spray solution per acre.

Tank Mixing: Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 2 to 4 quarts per acre may be tank mixed with 1 to 2 gallons of 2,4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or low volatile esters or Tordon 101 Mixture in 20 to 100 gallons of spray solu-tion per acre. When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

Broadleaf Weed Control

Apply 1.3 to 6 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in 20 to 100 gallons of spray solution per acre. Apply any time during the growing season.

Tank Mixing: Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 1.3 to 4 quarts per acre may be tank mixed with 2 to 4 quarts of Tordon K; Tordon 101 Mixture, or 2,4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or low volatile ester to improve the spectrum of activity. When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

AERIAL APPLICATION (HELICOPTER ONLY)

Aerial sprays should be applied using suitable drift control. See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section for drift control advice. Add an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES and the APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES section. See Maximum Application Rates Table in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS for relationship between mixing rate, spray volume, and maximum appli-cation rate.

FOLIAGE TREATMENT (RIGHTS-OF-WAY)

Apply 2/3 gallon of Alligare Triclopyr 3 per acre alone or tank mix with 1 to 2 gallons of 2,4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or low volatile esters;

or Tordon 101 Mixture. Apply in total spray volume of 1 to 30 gallons per acre.

When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

FOREST MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS

For broadcast applications, apply the specified rate of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in 1 to 25 gallons per acre by air or in 10 to 100 gallons per acre by ground. Use sufficient spray volumes to provide thorough plant coverage. To improve spray coverage at volumes less than 50 gal-lons per acre, add an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS. Use application systems designed to prevent spray drift to off-target sites.

Nozzles or additives used for drift minimization that produce larger droplets may require higher spray volumes to provide brush control. See APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES section.

Forest Site Preparation (Not For Conifer Release)

To control susceptible woody plants and broadleaf weeds, apply up to 2 gallons per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in a total spray solution of 1 to 30 gallons per acre. Alligare Triclopyr 3 may be applied at a rate of 1 to 1.5 gallons per acre in a tank mix combination with 1 to 2 gallons of Tordon 101 Mixture or 2,4-D 3.8 lb low volatile ester to broaden the spectrum of woody plants and broadleaf weeds controlled. Use of a nonionic agricul-tural surfactant is recommended for all foliar applications. See the SPRAY

ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS.

Refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

Conifer Plant Back Interval: Conifer injury may occur if conifers are planted sooner than 1 month after Alligare Triclopyr 3 treatments at rates <1-1/3 gallon per acre; or if conifers are planted sooner than 2 months after treatment with rates of 1-1/3 to 3 gallons per acre. When herbicide tank mixtures are used for forest site preparation, use the longest plant back waiting period listed on any tank mix partner.

Directed Spray Applications for Conifer Release

To release conifers from competing hardwoods such as red maple, sugar maple, striped maple, sweetgum, red and white oaks, ash, hickory, alder, birch, aspen, and pin cherry, mix 1 to 2 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in enough water to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. To improve spray coverage, add an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS.

Direct the spray onto foliage of competitive hardwoods using knapsack or backpack sprayers with flat fan nozzles or equivalent. Make applica-tions any time after the hardwoods have reached full leaf size, but before autumn coloration. The majority of treated hardwoods should be less than 6 feet in height to ensure adequate spray coverage. Care should be taken to direct the spray solution away from conifer foliage, particularly foliage of desirable pines.

Conifer Release Applications: Spray may cause temporary damage and growth suppression of conifers where direct contact occurs; however, injured conifers should recover and grow normally. Over-the-top spray applications can kill pines.

Broadcast Application for Conifer Release in the Northeastern United

States

To release spruce, fir, red pine, and white pine from competing hard-woods such as red maple, sugar maple, striped maple, alder, birch (white, yellow, and grey), aspen, ash, pin cherry, and Rubus spp. and perennial and annual broadleaf weeds, apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 2 to 4 quarts per acre alone or in a tank mix with 2,4-D amine, like DMA 4 IVM, or 2,4-D low volatile ester. Apply no more than 4 pounds acid equivalent per acre from the combined products. Make applications in late summer or early fall after conifers have formed their over-wintering buds; and hardwoods are in full leaf prior to autumn coloration.

Broadcast Applications for Douglas Fir Release in the Pacific

Northwest and California

To release Douglas fir from competing vegetation such as broadleaf weeds, alder, blackberry or Scotch broom, apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 1-1/3 to 2 quarts per acre alone or in combination with 4 lb per acre of atrazine. Add a nonionic surfactant to the spray solution. See the SPRAY

ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS. Applications should be made in early spring after hardwoods begin growth and before

Douglas fir bud break (“early foliar” hardwood stage). Applications can also be made in late summer, after Douglas fir seasonal growth has “hardened off” (winter bud set). Make applications while hardwoods are still actively growing. When treating after Douglas fir winter bud set, apply prior to onset of hardwood autumn coloration.

Note: Treatments applied during active Douglas fir shoot growth (after spring bud break and prior to winter bud set), may cause injury to Douglas fir trees.

Cut Surface Treatments

To control hardwood unwanted species such as elm, maple, oak; and conifers in rights-of-way and other noncrop areas, apply Alligare Triclopyr 3, either undiluted or diluted in a 1:1 ratio with water by one of the fol-lowing methods:

Tree Injector Method: Inject 1/2 milliliter (ml) of undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or 1 ml of the diluted (1:1) solution through the bark at inter-vals of 3-4 inches between injection wounds. The tree injections should completely surround the tree at any convenient height.

Note: Worker Protection Standard AGRICULTURAL USE

REQUIREMENTS reentry restrictions do not apply for this application method. Refer to the NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS box.

Hack and Squirt Method: Use a hatchet or similar equipment to make cuts in the bark at intervals of 3-4 inches at a convenient height around the circumference of the tree trunk. Spray 1/2 milliliter (ml) of undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or 1 ml of the diluted (1:1) solution into each cut.

Frill or Girdle Method: Make a single girdle through the bark completely around the tree at a convenient height. Wet the cut surface with undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or the diluted (1:1) solution.

Both the Hack and Squirt Method and the Frill or Girdle Method may be successfully used during any season except during periods of heavy sap flow of certain species such as maples.

Stump Treatment: Spray or paint undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 on to the freshly cut surfaces of cut stumps and stubs. The cambium area next to the bark is the most vital area to wet.

WETLAND SITES IN PRODUCTION FORESTS AND INDUSTRIAL

NON-CROP AREAS

Alligare Triclopyr 3 may be used in wetlands within forests; wildlife habitat restoration, wildlife management areas, and industrial non-crop sites; as well as areas adjacent to or surrounding domestic water supply reservoirs, lakes and ponds to control target vegetation in and around standing water sites, such as flood plains, delta, marshes, wetlands, swamps, bogs, and transitional areas between upland and lowland sites, and the banks of ponds and lakes and transition areas between upland and lowland sites.

For control of woody plants and broadleaf weeds in these sites, fol-low use directions and application methods on this label for FOREST

MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 (above) for lists of woody plants and broadleaf weeds that are controlled by Alligare Triclopyr 3.

Use Restrictions and Precautions for Wetland Sites

• Refer to the USE PRECAUTIONS and USE RESTRICTIONS section for additional restrictions and precautions.

• Minimize overspray to open water when treating target vegetation in and around non-flowing, quiescent or transient water. When making applications to control unwanted plants on banks or shorelines of flow-ing water, minimize over spray to open water.

• Obtain Required Permits: Before applying this product in and around public water, consult appropriate local public water control authorities.

Permits may be required to treat such areas.

• Recreational Use of Water in the Treatment Area: There are no restrictions on water use in the treatment area for recreational purposes, including swimming and fishing.

• Livestock Use of Water from Treatment Area: There are no restric-tions on consumption of water from treated areas by livestock.

Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)

Purple loosestrife can be controlled with broadcast foliar applications of Alligare Triclopyr 3 at a minimum of 6 to 8 quarts per acre. Apply when purple loosestrife is at the bud to mid-flowering stage of growth. Follow-up applications for control of regrowth should be made the following year to achieve increased control of this weed species. For all applications, add a nonionic surfactant labeled for aquatics to the spray mixture.

Follow all directions and use precautions on the surfactant label.

Thorough wetting of the foliage and stems is necessary to achieve satisfactory control. A minimum spray volume of 50 gallons per acre is recommended for ground broadcast applications.

For backpack applications, a spray solution of 1 to 1.5% Alligare Triclopyr 3 (5 to 7.6 fl oz of Alligare Triclopyr 3 per 4 gallons of water) should be used. All purple loosestrife plants should be thoroughly wetted.

Aerial application by helicopter may be needed when treating restoration sites that are inaccessible, remote, difficult to traverse, isolated, or other-wise unsuited to ground application, or in circumstances where invasive exotic weeds dominate native plans populations over extensive areas and efforts to restore native plant diversity are being conducted. By air, apply in a minimum spray volume of 30 gallons per acre using Thru-Valve or Microfoil boom only.

Terrestrial Sites Associated with Wetland Areas

Refer to Tables 1 and 2 (above) for a list of woody plants and broadleaf weeds that are controlled by Alligare Triclopyr 3.

Apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at rates of 0.25 to 2 gallons per acre for the control of broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply in enough water to provide uniform and complete coverage of the plants to be controlled.

Use only water suitable for spraying. Use of an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant is recommended for all foliar applications. Refer to

SPRAY ADDITIVES in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS section. Refer to TANK MIXES in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS section for the order of addition of surfactants. For best results make applications when woody plants and weeds are actively growing.

Use higher rates within the range when brush averages 15 feet or more in height or when brush covers >60% of the area to be treated. Re-sprouting may occur the year following treatment if lower rates are used on hard-to-control species.

For hard-to-control species such as ash, black gum, choke cherry, maples, or oaks; during late summer applications when plants are mature;

or during drought conditions; use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 3 alone or use in combination with a 2,4-D approved for aquatic use, such as DMA 4 IVM, generally the higher rates should be used for satisfactory brush control. When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

High Volume Foliage Applications

For control of woody plants, apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 at 1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution. Make applications in 100 to 400 gallons of total spray per acre depending on size and density of woody plants.

Coverage should be thorough to wet all leaves, stems, and root collars.

Tank Mixing: 1 to 4 quarts of Alligare Triclopyr 3 may be tank mixed with 1 to 2 quarts of 2, 4-D 3.8 lb amine, like DMA 4 IVM, diluted to make 100 gallons of spray solution. Make applications in 100 to 400 gallons of total spray per acre depending on size and density of woody plants. When tank mixing, refer to the individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, application rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds and woody plants controlled.

Low Volume Foliage Applications

For control of woody plants, mix up to 5 gallons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in 10 to 100 gallons of spray solution. Adjust the spray concentration of Alligare Triclopyr 3 and total spray volume per acre to match the size and density of target woody plants and kinds of spray equipment used. With low volume sprays, use sufficient spray volume to obtain uniform coverage of target plants including the surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars. For best results, a labeled aquatic surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures.

Match equipment and delivery rate of spray nozzles to height and density of woody plants. When treating tall, dense brush, a truck mounted spray gun with spray tips that deliver up to 2 gallons per minute at 40 to 60 PSI may be required. Backpack or other types of specialized spray equipment with spray tips that deliver less than 1 gallon of spray per minute may be appropriate for short, low to moderate density brush.

Cut Surface Treatments (Woody Plants)

To control unwanted trees and other listed woody plants in Table 1 (above), apply Alligare Triclopyr 3, either undiluted or diluted in a 1:1 ratio with water by one of the following methods:

Tree Injector Method: Inject 1/2 milliliter (ml) of undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or 1 ml of the diluted (1:1) solution through the bark at inter-vals of 3-4 inches between injection wounds. The tree injections should completely surround the tree at any convenient height.

Note: Worker Protection Standard AGRICULTURAL USE

REQUIREMENTS reentry restrictions do not apply for this application method. Refer to the NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS box.

Hack and Squirt Method: Use a hatchet or similar equipment to make cuts in the bark at intervals of 3-4 inches at a convenient height around the circumference of the tree trunk. Spray 1/2 milliliter (ml) of undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or 1 ml of the diluted (1:1) solution into each cut.

Frill or Girdle Method: Make a single girdle through the bark completely around the tree at a convenient height. Wet the cut surface with undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 or the diluted (1:1) solution.

Both the Hack and Squirt Method and the Frill or Girdle Method may be successfully used during any season except during periods of heavy sap flow of certain species such as maples.

Stump Treatment: Spray or paint undiluted Alligare Triclopyr 3 on to the freshly cut surfaces of cut stumps and stubs. The cambium area next to the bark is the most vital area to wet.

CHRISTMAS TREE PLANTATIONS

Alligare Triclopyr 3 is used to control unwanted woody plants and annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in established Christmas tree plantations.

For best results, make applications when woody plants and weeds are actively growing. Alligare Triclopyr 3 only controls weeds which are emerged at the time of application.

Brush >8 feet tall is difficult to treat efficiently using hand equipment such as backpack or knapsack sprayers. Use higher rates of Alligare Triclopyr 3 or use cut surface application methods when treating large brush or trees; hard to control species such as ash, black gum, choke cherry, elm, hazel, madrone, maples, oaks or sweetgum; for applications made during drought conditions; or late summer applications when the leaves are mature. For foliar applications, apply in enough water to provide uni-form and complete coverage of the plants to be controlled. Applications made under drought conditions may provide less than desirable results.

Re-sprouting may occur the year following treatment if lower rates are used on hard-to-control species.

Use Restrictions and Precautions for Christmas Tree Plantations

• Do not tank mix with 2,4-D for use in Christmas tree plantations.

• Only apply Alligare Triclopyr 3 to established Christmas trees that have been planted at least one full year prior to application.

• To prevent Christmas tree injury, take care to direct spray away from

Christmas tree foliage to avoid contact.

• Do not use on newly seeded grass until well established as indicated by vigorous growth and development of secondary root system and tillering.

• Mow newly seeded turf (alleyways, etc.) two or three times before treat-ment with Alligare Triclopyr 3.

• Do not reseed Alligare Triclopyr 3 treated Christmas tree areas within three weeks after application.

• Do not use Alligare Triclopyr 3 if legumes, such as clover, are present and injury cannot be tolerated.

Spray Solution Preparation

Refer to the TANK MIXES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS for order of addition to the spray tank. Continue moderate agitation while mixing and spraying. Use of a nonionic agricultural surfactant is recom-mended for all applications. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS for surfactant recommendations.

Application

Make applications in late summer or early autumn after terminal growth of Christmas trees has hardened off, but before leaf drop of target plants.

Apply 2 to 5 pints per acre of Alligare Triclopyr 3 as a foliar spray directed toward the base of Christmas trees. Use sufficient spray volume (20 to 100 gallons per acre) to provide uniform coverage of target plants.

Specified application rates of Alligare Triclopyr 3 (see Table 3, below) will only suppress some well established woody plants that are 2 to 3 years old. Broadcast sprays may also be applied in bands between the rows of planted trees. Select spray equipment that will provide uniform coverage at the desired spray volume.

Alligare Triclopyr 3 spray solution can cause Christmas tree needle and branch injury. To minimize Christmas tree injury, direct sprays to minimize

Christmas tree foliage contact. White pine and Douglas fir are more sus-ceptible to injury than blue spruce, white spruce, balsam fir and Frasier fir. Refer to the Use Restrictions and Precautions for Christmas Tree

Plantations.

Directed Applications

For control of hardwoods such as red maple, sugar maple, striped maple, sweetgum, red and white oaks, ash, alder, birch, aspen, and pin cherry;

mix 4 to 20 fluid ounces of Alligare Triclopyr 3 in enough water to make 3 gallons of spray solution. For directed applications, do not exceed 2 gal-lons of Alligare Triclopyr 3 per acre per year. To improve coverage, add a nonionic agricultural surfactant to the spray. See the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of APPLICATION DIRECTIONS for surfactant recommendations.

Direct this spray mixture onto foliage of competitive hardwoods using knapsack or backpack sprayers with flat fan (or equivalent) nozzles any time after hardwoods have reached full leaf size, but before autumn col-oration (when plants are actively growing). The majority of treated hard-woods should be <8 feet in height to ensure adequate spray coverage.

Cut Surface Treatments

Use cut surface treatments when treating large brush and trees; hard to control species such as ash, blackgum, choke cherry, elm, hazel, madrone, maples, oaks, salt cedar or sweetgum; for applications during drought conditions; or for late summer applications when the leaves are mature. Refer to the Cut Surface Treatments in the Forest Management section for use directions.
