NET CONTENTS 2.5 GAL

Picloram is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through soil and under certain conditions has the potential to contaminate groundwater which may be used for irrigation and drinking purposes. Users are advised not to apply picloram where soils have a rapid to very rapid permeability throughout the profile (such as loamy sand to sand) and the water table of an underlying aquifer is shallow or to soils containing sinkholes over limestone bedrock, severely fractured surfaces, and substrates which would allow direct introduction into an aquifer. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.

Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

CAUTION

Causes Moderate Eye Irritation

Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Prolonged or frequent repeated skin contact may cause allergic skin reactions in some individuals.

This chemical can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions, picloram may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water). These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves made out of any waterproof material • Shoes plus socks

Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

Engineering Controls: When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the WPS (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

Directions for Use RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

User Safety Recommendations

Users should:
Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying.

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling

and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.

• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside.

Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

• Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this

product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

This product is not intended for manufacturing or formulating.

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 regulation.

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 interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

First Aid

If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact 1-800-992-5994 for emergency medical treatment information.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

Environmental Hazards

This pesticide is toxic to some plants at very low concentrations. Non-target plants may be adversely affected if pesticide is allowed to drift from areas of application. Do not apply directly to water, 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. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Do not allow runoff or spray to contaminate wells, irrigation ditches or any body of water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not make application when circumstances favor movement from treatment site.
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 • Chemical-resistant gloves made out of any

waterproof material

• Shoes plus socks

worker entry into treated areas until sprays have dried, unless applicator and other handler PPE is worn.

Use Precautions

Storage and Disposal

• To prevent damage to crops and other desirable plants,

read and follow all directions and precautions on this label and container before using.
Do not contaminate water, food, fertilizer or feed by storage or disposal. Open dumping is prohibited. Pesticide Storage: Store in original container only. In case of leak or spill, contain material with absorbent materials and dispose as waste. Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate that cannot be used according to label instructions must be disposed of according to applicable Federal, state or local procedures.

• Use caution when treating areas adjacent to susceptible

and desirable species to avoid root uptake and possible injury when using Tordon K or other soil active herbicides.

• Applications of Tordon K within the root zone of desirable trees should not be made unless injury can be

tolerated. Caution should be exercised when treating high density of stems adjacent to desirable trees with roots in the treatment zone. Trees adjacent to or in a treated area can occasionally be affected by root uptake of Tordon K. Severe injury or plant death can occur if used near conifers, roses, leguminous trees such as locusts, redbud, mimosa, and caragana, or other sensitive species.
Container Handling: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling if available. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container, and rinse at about 40 psi for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

• Conifer Planting Intervals. Conifer plantings after

treatment with Tordon K vary by region. Pines planted sooner than six months after treatment with Tordon K may be injured in the South or west of the Cascade Mountains. Other conifers, west of the Cascade Mountains, may be injured if planted sooner than 8 to 9 months after treatment. For all conifers, the waiting period between treatment and planting is 11 to 12 months in the area between the Cascade and Rocky Mountains and 8 to 9 months in the lake States and Northeastern U.S. Southern pines are more tolerant and can be planted as early as three months after a fall application of Tordon K at maximum labeled rates.

to fall onto banks or bottoms of irrigation ditches, either dry or containing water, or other channels that carry water that may be used for irrigation or domestic purposes.

• Do not apply to areas that may be rotated to any

broadleaf crop and do not rotate to food or feed crops

on treated land if they are not registered for use with picloram until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that no detectable picloram is present in the soil.
• Do not use on flood or sub-irrigated land or areas irrigated by periodic flooding or a shallow water table.

• Do not spray if the loss of forage legumes, including

clover cannot be tolerated. Tordon K may injure or kill

legumes. New legume seedlings may not grow for several

• years following application of this herbicide.
• • Do not use manure from animals grazing treated areas or

feeding on treated hay on land used for growing broadleaf crops, ornamentals, orchards or other susceptible, desirable plants. Manure may contain enough picloram to cause injury to susceptible plants.

• Do not treat snow or frozen soil where runoff could damage sensitive plants.

• Do not apply this product to lawns, turf, ornamental

plantings, urban walkways, driveways, tennis courts, golf courses, athletic fields, commercial sod operations, or other high-maintenance, fine turfgrass areas, or similar areas.

• Do not use treated plant material including grass, hay, straw, wood chips, bark dust, or saw dust for composting

or mulching of susceptible broadleaf plants or crops.

• Do not apply Tordon K on residential or commercial lawns or near ornamental trees and shrubs. Untreated

trees can occasionally be affected by root uptake of herbicide through movement into the topsoil or by excretion of the product from the roots of nearby treated trees.
• Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or if feeding on treated hay) onto sensitive broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing on an untreated grass pasture (or feeding of untreated hay). Otherwise, manure and urine may contain enough picloram to cause injury to sensitive broadleaf plants.

• Do not move treated soil to areas other than sites for

which Tordon K is registered for use. Also, do not use treated soil to grow plants for which use of Tordon K is not registered until an adequately sensitive bioassay or

• Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or

domestic purposes. To avoid injury to crops or other desirable plants, do not treat or allow spray drift or run-off

chemical test shows that no detectable residue of picloram is present in the soil.

• Do not use manure from animals that have grazed forage

or eaten hay harvested from treated areas within the previous 7 days, in compost, mulch or mushroom spawn.

• Do not spread manure from animals that have grazed or

consumed forage or eaten hay from treated areas within the previous 7 days on land used for growing susceptible broadleaf crops.

• Do not plant a broadleaf crop (including soybeans, sunflower,

tobacco, vegetables, field beans, peanuts, and potatoes) in fields treated with manure from animals that have grazed forage or eaten hay harvested from Tordon K treated areas until an adequately sensitive field bioassay is conducted to determine that the picloram concentration in the soil is at level that is not injurious to the crop to be planted.

• Do not make application when circumstances favor movement from treatment site through drift of spray

particles or runoff. Applications made during periods of intense rainfall, to soils saturated with water, surfaces paved with materials such as asphalt or concrete, or soils through which rainfall will not readily penetrate may result in runoff and movement of Tordon K. Injury to crops may result if treated soil is washed, or moved onto land used to produce crops sensitive to picloram. Exposure to Tordon may injure or kill susceptible crops and other broadleaf plants, such as grapes, soybeans, tobacco, and sensitive ornamentals plants and trees.

• To promote herbicide decomposition, plant residues should be evenly incorporated in the surface soil or burned. Breakdown

of picloram in plant residues or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.

• Do not use spray equipment used to apply Tordon K for

other applications to land planted to, or to be planted to susceptible crops or desirable sensitive plants, unless it has been determined that all phytotoxic residue of this herbicide has been removed by thorough cleaning of equipment.

Crop Rotation – if rotating out of non-cropland uses

• Do not apply this product through a mist blower.

• Do not use this product for impregnation onto dry fertilizer or other dry medium, unless otherwise specified in use directions on Dow AgroSciences supplemental labeling.
