It is a violation of federal pesticide laws to use an herbicide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling . Read the entire label before using . Applicator Safety. The most serious risk of exposure from chemicals is during handling and mixing operations with the concentrated product . Use protective equipment specified on the label . Use chemical resistant gloves, eye shield, long- sleeved clothing, rubber boots, and appropriate respirator as required . Poison Control Center 1-800-222-1222 Water Protection. Preventing spills and accidents during handling and mixing reduces risk of groundwater and surface water contamination . Mix herbicides away from wells and water sources . Prevent back- siphoning into wells . Install anti-backflow devices in irrigation equipment used for pesticides . Triple rinse containers . Store herbicides properly . Identify high-risk areas, such as coarse soils or areas where the water table is near the surface . Be aware of herbicide properties that increase the risk of contamination .

Most herbicides for pasture and range new grass seedings . are applied when weeds and grass are growing . The optimum growth stage for control of specific weeds is Herbicide Suggestions listed in sections of this publication . Herbicides are included only after the chemical is registered by the Environmental Protection Agency Noxious Weed Treatments (EPA) as to residue tolerances in crops used for food or Noxious weeds are found in range and pasture as feed . This fact sheet provides a summary of herbicide well as noncrop areas and cropland . Troublesome uses and does not imply a guarantee .
