Containers over 1 gallon and less than 5 gallons: Persons engaged in open pouring of this product must also wear coveralls or a chemical resistant apron.
Containers of 5 gallons or more: A mechanical system (probe and pump) must be used for transferring the contents of this container. If the contents of a non-refillable pesticide container are emptied, the probe must be rinsed before removal.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: . This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areijS where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water marlc Do not contaminate water when disposing of eqUipment washwaters. When cleaning eqUipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. 00 not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-0 and 2,4-DP have been associated with mixinglloading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-0 and 2,4-0P pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixinglloading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is <! violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
STORAGE & DISPOSAl;. Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. STORAGE: Store in original container in a locked storage area. , . ' .... PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess peslicidp" spra{ mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law and may contaminate groundwater.

CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Triple rinse (or equivalent). Tilen offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burving. If burned, stay out of smoke.
- USE PRECAUTIONS -
• Avoid drift of spray mist to vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and other desirable plants. Do not pour spray solutions near these plants. Clover present will be damaged if sprayed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift away from target area. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift away from target area.
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment. • Avoid spray drift to collon, soybeans, tomatoes, tobacco, grapes, fruit trees, flowers or garden crops
and all other hormone herbicide-sensitive desirable plants. Do not apply near sensitive plants since small quantities of wind-drifted herbicides may cause severe injury.
• Do not apply herbicide when wind speed is sufficient to cause drift. Do not apply herbicide when a temperature air inversion exists. An air inversion may be detected by creating a smoke column and observing a layering effect.
• Do not apply when temperature exceeds go'F and humidity is high. • To aid in avoiding spray drift, use coarse sprays and low pressure. Do not use nozzles which produce
fine spray droplets under high pressure. The use of thickening agents or anti drift additives and driftreducing equipment is of value in preventing spray drift.
• Care should be taken not to nlake applications where runoff could contaminate bodies of water or spray drift could carry the chemical to food crops or grazing lands where callie, sheep, goats, swine or poultry would be exposed.
ROADSIDE, DRAINAGE DITCHBANKS, RIGHT-OF-WAYS, RAILROADS, FIREBREAKS, FENCEROWS, INDUSTRIAL SITES AND OTHER SIMILAR NON-GROP AREAS: To effectively control br.Jsh, all leaves, stems and suckers should be thoro!Jghly wet to the ground. Apply Gordon's Brush Killer 801 when plants come into full leaf (spring) to the time plants begin to go dormant. Best results are obtained when brush and weeds are 'Young and actively growing. Do not cut brush or weeds until the herbicide has translocated throughout the plant.
HIGH VOLUME: Use Gordon's Brush Killer 801 at the rate of Y, to 2 gallons in water to make 100 to 300 gallons of spray per acre. The amount of water used must allow for full wetting of plants. For small broadleaf weeds, u-,e the lower rate. Heavy dense stands of brush require the high rate with high water volume.
GROUND or AERIAL FOLIAGE SPRAY: Use Gordon's Brush Killer 801 at the rate of Y, to 2 gallons in ) water to make 15 to 25 gallons of spray per acre. Use enough water to ensure uniform wetting of plants.
BASAL BARK METHOD: Thoroughly wet the base and root collar of all stems until the spray collects around the root collar at ground line. Mix 1 to 2 gallons of Gordon's Brush Killer 801 in 20 gallons of water. Apply with low volume knapsack sprayer of power equipment. Concentration will depend on volume of spray used, species present and season applied. Use a coarse spray to avoid drift.
For winter dormancy spraying, mix 1 to 2 gallons Gordon's Erush Killer 801 in 20 gallons of oil.
MODIFIED BASAL METHOD: Drench the base of plants, then wet the lower 4/5 of remaining stems and leaves to runoff. Treat when brush is in full foliage. this method may be used where susceptible species have been controlled by prior sprays and resistant species such as maple and gum"femain. Drenching the base of the plant and welting all stems to runoff is essential for complete controJ)·. . .

CUT SURFACE-STUMP: This method can be used at any time of year, but is more effective when applied as soon as possible after trees are cut. Spray the entire stump, particularly bark and exposed root,<;. Complete control requires a thorough drenching. Use this method after original or capital clearing. iI is the primary step toward a chemical brush control program on newly cleared highways and rights-ofways. Spray is most effective and economical on stumps 3 to 4 inches or larger. Mix 1 to 2 gallons of Gordon's Brush Killer 801 in 20 gallons of water. Apply with low volume knapsack sprayer using solid cone nozzle of medium orifice.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely affect aquatiC invertebrates and nontarget plants. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. When cleaning equipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. Do not apply when weather co,,';itions fav ... r drift from target area.
Most cases of groundwater contamination invol·,ing phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-0 and 2.4-0P have been associated with mixingl10ading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,"-0 and 2,"-DP pesticides at such sites to prevent C<>'1tamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticiue will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/1oading equipment on an impervious pad to contam spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
P..vSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS: Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

- USE PRE:CAUTIONS -
• Avoid drift of spray mist to vegetables. flowers. ornamental plants. shrubs. trees and other desirable plants. Do not pour spray solutions near these plants Clover present will be damaged if sprayed. Coarse sprays ari) less likely to drift away from target area. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift away from target area.
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment. • Avoid spray drift to cotton. soybeans. tomatoes. tobacco. grapes, fruit trees. flowers or garden crops
and all other hormone herbicide-sensitive desirable plants. Do not apply near sensitive plants since small quantities of wind-drifted herbicides may cause severe injury.
• Do not apply herbicide when wind speed is sufficient to cause drift. Do not apply herbicide when a temperature air inversio:'l exists. An air inversion may be detected by creating a smoke column and observing a layering e!f'., ~ ..
• Do not apply when temperature exceeds 9O°F and humidity is high. • To aid in avoiding spray drift, use coarse sprays and low pressure. Do not use nozzles which proc:luc;e
fine spray droplets under high pressure. The use of thicke'ling agents or antidrift additives a;;(J o.iftreducing equipment is of value in preventing spray drift.
• Care should be taken not to make applications where runoff could contaminate bodies of water or spray drift could carry the chemical to food crops or grazing lands where cattle. sheep. goats. swine or poullry would be exposed.
ROADSIDE, DRAINAGE DITCHBANKS, RIGHT -OF-WAYS, RAILROADS, FIRESREAKS, FENCEROWS, INDUSTRIAL SITES AND OTHER SIMILAR NON-CROP AREAS: To effectively control brush. all leaves. stems and suckers should be thoroughly wet to the ground. Apply Gordon's 9rush Killer 801 when plants come into full leaf (spring) to the time plants begin to go dormant.

HIGH VOLUME: Use Gordon's Brush Killer 801 at the rate of Y. to 2 gallons in water to make 10(1 to 300 gallons of spray per acre. Tile amount of water used must allow for full wetting of plants. For small broad leaf weeds, use the lower rate. Heavy dense stands of brush require the high rate with high water volume.
GROUND or AERIAL FOLIAGE SPRAY: Use Gordon's Brush Killer 801 at the rate of Y. to 2 gallons in water to make 15 to 25 gallons of spray per acre. Use enough water to ensure uniform welling of plants.
BASAL BARK METHOD: Thoroughly wet the base and root collar of all stems until the spray collects around the root collar at ground line. Mix 1 to 2 gallons of Gordon's Brush Killer 801 in 20 gallons of water. Apply with low volume knapsack sprayer of power equipment. Concentration will iiepend on volurTle of spray used. species present ar,d season applied. Use a coarse spray to a":>id drift.
