PRODUCT INFORMATION

DPX-KJM44 80XP herbicide is a dispersible granule that is

mixed in water and applied as a spray. DPX-KJM44 80XP

herbicide may be applied by aerial or ground equipment for

control of broadleaf weeds and woody species, including

many terrestrial and riparian invasive and noxious weeds.

DPX-KJM44 80XP is registered for general weed and brush

control on private, public and military lands as follows:

uncultivated non-agricultural areas (such as airports,

highway, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage disposal

areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas - non-crop

producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence

rows, non-irrigation ditchbanks, barrier strips, etc.);

industrial sites - outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and

tank farms, etc.) and natural areas (such as wildlife

management areas, wildlife openings, wildlife habitats,

recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and trails). DPXKJM44 80XP may be used for the release or restoration of

native perennial grasses and in established, industrial turf

grasses.

This product may be applied to terrestrial non-crop sites and

unimproved turf sites that contain areas of temporary

surface water caused by collection of water, in equipment

ruts, or in other depressions created by management

activities. It is permissible to treat intermittently flooded low

lying sites, seasonally dry flood plains and transitional areas

between upland and lowland sites when no water is present.

It is also permissible to treat marshes, swamps and bogs

after water has receded, as well as seasonally dry flood

deltas. DPX-KJM44 80XP may be applied up to the waters

edge. Do not apply directly to water.

DPX-KJM44 80XP provides preemergence and/or

postemergence control of the broadleaf weeds, vines and

brush species listed in the weeds controlled section of the

label. For perennial species on the label, a postemergence

application should be used. For best postemergence

performance, an MSO type adjuvant should be included to

the spray solution. Excessive wetting of the target plant is

not necessary but good spray coverage of the target plant is

needed for best results.

DPX-KJM44 80XP is non-corrosive to spray equipment. 

Do not apply more than 6 ounces of product per acre per

year.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

DPX-KJM44 80XP is quickly taken up by the leaves, stems

and roots of plants. The effects of DPX-KJM44 80XP may

be seen on plants from within a few hours to a few days.

The most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of

stems and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe

necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling,

calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged

roots. Death of treated broadleaf plants may require several

more weeks and up to several months for some woody plant

species.

DPX-KJM44 80XP is rain-fast at 1 hour after application.

TANK MIXTURES

DPX-KJM44 80XP herbicide may be tank mixed with other

herbicides which are registered for the same use sites,

methods of application and timings as specified on this

product label. Refer to the tank mix product label for any

additional instructions or use restrictions. In addition, a

spray adjuvant may be mixed with DPX-KJM44 80XP

when making postemergence applications. Refer to the

adjuvant label for additional instructions or use restrictions. 

ADJUVANTS

Methylated Seed Oils and Vegetable Oils: A methylated

seed oil (MSO) or vegetable oil based adjuvant may provide

increased leaf absorption of DPX-KJM44 80XP. Include the

MSO or vegetable oil adjuvant at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100

gallons of spray solution). 

Non-ionic Surfactants: Use a non-ionic surfactant at a

minimum rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart surfactant per 100

gallons of spray solution). Surfactant products must contain

at least 70% non-ionic surfactant with a

hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) of 12 to 17.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 or rinsate.

Surface Water Advisory

This product may impact surface water quality due to

runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly

draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.

This product is classified as having high potential for

reaching surface water via runoff for several months

after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative

buffer strip between areas to which this product is

applied and surface water features such as ponds,

streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading

of aminocyclopyrachlor from runoff water and

sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by

avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to

occur within 48 hours.

Ground Water Advisory

Aminocyclopyrachlor has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground

water. This chemical may leach into ground water if

used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly

where the water table is shallow.

2
Invert Emulsions: DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP may be

applied as an invert emulsion. The spray solution results in

an invert (water-in-oil) spray emulsion designed to

minimize spray drift and spray run-off, resulting in more

herbicide deposited on the target foliage. The spray

emulsion may be formed in a single tank (batch mixing) or

injected (in-line mixing). Consult the invert chemical label

for proper mixing directions.

INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT

This product may be used on public, private, and tribal

lands to treat certain weed species infestations that have

been determined to be invasive, consistent with the Federal

Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and

Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) National Early Detection and

Rapid Response (EDRR) System for invasive plants.

Effective EDRR systems address invasions by eradicating

the invader where possible, and controlling them when the

invasive species is too established to be feasibly eradicated.

Once an EDRR assessment has been completed and action

is recommended, a Rapid Response needs to be taken to

quickly contain, deny reproduction, and if possible

eliminate the invader. Consult your appropriate state

extension service, forest service, or regional multidisciplinary invasive species management coordination team to

determine the appropriate Rapid Response provisions and

allowed treatments in your area.

RESISTANCE

When herbicides that affect the same biological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.

Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be

expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product

affecting a different site of action. To better manage

herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and

possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it

may be necessary to change cultural practices within and

between crop seasons such as using a combination of

tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential

herbicide applications that have a different site of action.

Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote

the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep

accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to

help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of

resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer,

consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural

extension service representative for specific alternative

cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in

your area.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally

determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative

extension service, professional consultants or other qualified

authorities to determine appropriate action treatment

threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in

your area.

industrial sites - outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and

tank farms, etc.) and natural areas (such as wildlife

management areas, wildlife openings, wildlife habitats,

recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and trails).

DPX-KJM44 80XP may be used for the establishment or

release of native grasses and for weed control in established,

unimproved grass turf. 

Apply DPX-KJM44 80XP preemergence or early

postemergence when broadleaf weeds are actively

germinating or growing. DPX-KJM44 80XP can provide

long term control of susceptible weeds. The length of

control is dependent upon the application rate, condition

and growth stage of target weeds, environmental conditions

at and following application, and the density and vigor of

competing desirable vegetation. Best results for long term

weed control occur where grasses and other vegetation is

allowed to recover from adverse environmental conditions

and compete with susceptible weeds. 

DPX-KJM44 80XP may be applied broadcast using ground

spray equipment, fixed wing aircraft or by helicopter. When

applying by fixed wing aircraft or helicopter, follow

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product

that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection

Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part

170). The WPS applies when this product is used to

produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or

greenhouses. Terrestrial non-crop weed control is not

within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard. See

the Product Information section of this label for a

description of noncrop sites.

Do not enter terrestrial/non-crop treated areas without

protective clothing until sprays have dried.

directions under the Aerial Applications section of this label

otherwise refer to the section on Ground Applications when

using surface equipment. 

DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP may also be applied using

low and high volume ground spray equipment. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION

AERIAL APPLICATIONS

When applying by air, apply only using nozzles which will

deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets as

defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not release spray at a

height greater than 10 feet above the ground or canopy

unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Do not

apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion. 

For aerial applications near susceptible crops or other

desirable plants, use a drift control additive as recommended

by the manufacturer, or apply through a “Microfoil” or

“Thru-Valve” boom, or use an equivalent drift control

system. Thickened sprays prepared by using high viscosity

invert systems or other drift control systems may be utilized

if drift control is comparable to that obtained with drift

control additives or the “Thru-Valve” boom. If a spray

thickening agent is used, follow all recommendations and

precautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening

agent with the “Microfoil” boom or other systems that

cannot accommodate thick sprays.

DPX-KJM44 80XP may be applied by either fixed wing

aircraft or helicopter spray equipment. Fixed wing aircraft

and helicopters can be used to apply DPX-KJM44 80XP

however, do not make applications by fixed wing aircraft

unless appropriate buffer zones can be maintained to prevent

spray drift out of the target area or, when treating open

tracts of land, spray drift as a result of fixed wing aircraft

application can be tolerated. 

The application volume required will vary with the height

and density of the brush and the application equipment

used. Generally, aerial applications will require 15 to 25

gallons of spray solution per acre.

Regardless of the application volume or spray equipment

used, thorough coverage of the foliage is necessary to

optimize control results.

All precautions and restrictions should be taken to

minimize or eliminate spray drift.

GROUND APPLICATIONS

When applying by ground, apply only using nozzles which

will deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets

as defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not apply with a

nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the ground or canopy

unless necessitated by the application equipment. Apply

with the spray boom or nozzle height as low as possible. Do

not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion. 

For ground applications, keep the spray boom as low as

possible; apply 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; use

spray pressures no greater than are required to obtain

adequate plant coverage; use large-droplet producing nozzle

tips; use drift control additives; use shielded-sprayers or

other drift control systems; and/or spray when wind velocity

is low.

LOW VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION

For low volume applications, see Table 1 for use rate and

mixing guidelines. The spray concentration of DPX-KJM44

80XP should be adjusted according to the spray volume per

acre and the size and plant density of the target brush

species. For best results, include an MSO adjuvant at the

rate of 1% v/v. Good plant coverage is necessary for best

results. Use spray nozzles and pressure that will aid the

proper deposition of the spray solution. Apply in sufficient

spray volume to help provide uniform spray distribution of

spray particles over the area to be treated and to avoid spray

drift. Generally, low volume ground applications will

require 20 to 50 gallons per acre and ultra-low volume

ground application will require 10 to 20 gallons of spray

solution per acre. The use of an even flat fan tip with a spray

angle of 40 degrees or less will aid in proper spray

deposition. Some recommended tip sizes include 4004E or

1504E. For cone or straight stream nozzle patterns, the

to control brush species. 

Do not apply more than 6 ounces of DuPontTM DPX-KJM44

80XP per acre per year.

Note: Add a spray pattern indicator, if desired, at the

recommended label rates. 

HIGH VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION 

High volume applications may be applied at rates equivalent

to broadcast rates up to 6 ounces product per acre per year.

Where a rate range is indicated for the brush species, use the

higher rate for high density brush sites. For best results, use

MSO adjuvant at the rate of 1% V/V to the spray solution. 

When making broadcast applications, apply near the tops of

the brush plants in a light drizzle pattern. The spray solution

should reach the crown of the plants and trickle down into

the canopy. Use sufficient spray volume to thoroughly and

uniformly wet foliage and stems but don't over apply

causing excessive run-off. Generally, high volume ground

applications will require 100 to 400 gallons per acre. Do not

apply more than 6 ounces product per broadcast acre per

year.

SPOT APPLICATION

Spot applications may be applied at rates equivalent to the

broadcast application rate up to a maximum of 6 ounces

product per acre per year. Use sufficient spray volume to

thoroughly and uniformly wet target weed or brush foliage.

Use of a high quality MSO adjuvant may be added to the

spray mixture as recommended by the adjuvant

manufacturer. Repeat applications may be made, but the

total amount of DPX-KJM44 must not exceed 6 ounces

product per year. To prevent misapplication, spot

applications should be applied with either a calibrated boom

sprayer, a boom-less sprayer, or a hand-held or backpack

sprayer. 

Spot applications may be applied at an equivalent broadcast

rate of up to 12 ounces product per acre per year but not

more than 50% of an acre may be treated. Do not apply

more than 6 ounces product per broadcast acre per year as a

result of broadcast, spot or repeat applications. 

Application rates in Table 2 are based on treating an area of

1000 square feet (sq ft). Mix DPX-KJM44 80XP in 0.3 to 3

gallons of water, depending on the spray volume necessary

to treat 1000 sq ft. 

A spray volume of 0.3 to 3 gallons per 1000 sq ft is

equivalent to 13 to 130 gallons per acre. 

Table 2. Spot spray rate chart

INVERT EMULSION APPLICATIONS

DPX-KJM44 80XP can be applied as an invert emulsion

(water in oil). This can be done in a batch mixing (single

tank) or inline-mixing (injected) process. Follow the

directions on the invert chemical guide.

CUT STUBBLE TREATMENTS

For the prevention of re-sprouting, after hand cutting or

mechanical mowing of susceptible brush species along

rights-of-way and other non-crop sites, apply a broadcast

application of DPX-KJM44 80XP at 6 ounces product per

acre. Apply in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre.

Make applications soon after cutting. The addition of a

penetrating agent at 5% V/V or more can aid in uptake

through the bark or exposed roots of the cut brush. For best

results, make applications before or during periods of active

root growth. Do not apply when the soil is frozen or covered

by standing water or snow. 

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS

BAREGROUND

DPX-KJM44 80XP may be used in non-crop sites for

bareground (total vegetation control) weed control.

Preemergence or postemergence applications of DPXKJM44 80XP provides control of many annual and

perennial broadleaf weeds. Apply at up to 6 ounces product

per acre in tank mixes with other products registered for

use on bareground sites. Consult the manufacturer’s labels

for specific rates, weeds controlled and use restrictions. 

Make a thorough and uniform application with calibrated

spray equipment per label directions. Apply at any time of

the year. Use the higher rates of DPX-KJM44 80XP for fall

applications and in previously untreated areas or areas with

high weed infestations. For postemergence applications

always include a spray adjuvant. For faster brown-out or

burn down results, add glyphosate or similar products to the

tank. For added residual weed control or to broaden the

weed control spectrum, tank mix with other residual

products registered for use on bareground sites. The level

and length of control will depend on the herbicide rate

applied, amount of rainfall, soil texture, environmental and

applications conditions.

UNIMPROVED TURF GRASS 

DPX-KJM44 80XP may be used in non-crop industrial

sites, such as, utility rights-of-way and roadsides, for

general weed control in established industrial turf grasses.

Apply DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP at 0.625 to 2.5 ounces

product per acre. Treatments made prior to the full green-up

stage may delay green-up. Apply DPX-KJM44 80XP by

ground equipment only. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of

water per acre. The addition of an MSO adjuvant may

increase the potential for turf grass injury. 

Important: Temporary chlorosis (yellowing), reddening,

stunting, droopy or twisted grass leaves and seed head

suppression may occur.

Do not apply in the first growing season of any grass. Do

not apply DPX-KJM44 80XP to grass under stress from

disease, insects, drought, or other environmental causes.

NON-CROPLAND RESTORATION

DPX-KJM44 80XP is labeled for the control of broadleaf

weeds and brush listed in the weeds controlled section in

unimproved industrial turf, on roadsides, airports, industrial

sites or on other similar non-crop sites in order to establish

or release desirable introduced or native perennial grass

species for site stabilization.

To maximize and extend the weed and brush control

provided by DPX-KJM44 80XP, it is critical that other

vegetation management practices, including mowing, fertilization, etc., be incorporated into the restoration program to

help extend or build on the weed control benefits and

promote the growth of introduced or established grasses

and/or desirable plants or plant communities.

During the season of establishment, DPX-KJM44 80XP

must only be applied after introduced or native perennial

grasses are well established. The grass must have a good

secondary root system and show good vigor. DPX-KJM44

may suppress certain established grasses especially when

the grass plants are stressed by adverse environmental

conditions. Temporary reddening, stunting, droopy or

twisted leaves may occur. Do not apply DPX-KJM44 80XP

to grass under stress from disease, insects, drought, or other

environmental causes. 

Apply DPX-KJM44 80XP at 0.625 to 2.5 ounces product

per acre in the fall, before the soil freezes, or in the spring

after the soil thaws. When applied at lower rates, DPXKJM44 80XP provides short-term control of weeds listed;

when applied at higher rates, weed control spectrum is

broadened and extended.

Do not apply when the soil is frozen. 

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Applications should be made only when there is little or

no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities of

spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injury

susceptible plants.

• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may

result if equipment is drained or flushed on or near these

trees or plants, or on areas where their roots may extend,

or in locations where the chemical may be washed or

moved into contact with their roots.

• In non-crop areas adjacent to desirable trees or plants,

avoid overlapping spray applications and shut off spray

the spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or

stopping to avoid injury to desired plants. 

• Applications made where runoff water flows onto

agricultural land may injure crops. Applications made

during periods of intense rainfall, to soils saturated with

water, or soils through which rainfall will not readily

penetrate may result in runoff and movement of DPXKJM44 80XP. Treated soil should be left undisturbed to

reduce the potential for DPX-KJM44 80XP movement

by soil erosion due to wind or water.

• Caution is advised when using this product in areas

where loss of broadleaf plants, including legumes and

wild flowers, cannot be tolerated. Without prior

experience, it is necessary that small areas containing

these plants be tested for tolerance to DPX-KJM44

80XPand its soil residues before any large scale spraying

occurs.

• In the case of suspected offsite movement of DPXKJM44 80XP to cropland, soil samples should be quantitatively analyzed for DPX-KJM44 80XP or any other

herbicide which could be having an adverse effect on the

crop, in addition to conducting the above-described

bioassay.

• DPX-KJM44 80XP may suppress or severely injure

certain established grasses, such as some Bromus

species, especially when the grass plants are stressed by

adverse environmental conditions. Areas that contain

these grass plants should recover as environmental

conditions for good grass growth occur. 

IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS

• Do not make applications when circumstances favor

movement from treatment site.

• Do not apply or otherwise permit DPX-KJM44 80XP, or

sprays containing DPX-KJM44 80XP, to come into

contact with any broadleaf crop or other desirable

broadleaf plants.

• Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation. To

avoid injury to crops and other desirable plants, do not

treat or allow spray drift or run-off 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 purposes. Do not apply to snow

covered or frozen ground.

• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.

• Do not apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals

including their outer banks.

• Do not apply more than 6 ounces of product (0.28 lb ae)

per acre per year.

• Do not use plant material treated with this product in

composting or mulching of desirable, susceptible

broadleaf plants.

• Do not graze or feed forage, hay, or straw from treated

areas to livestock.

6
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or

similar areas.

• Do not use the equipment used to mix or apply DPXKJM44 80XP on crops unless specifically directed by

supplemental labeling. If applied on fertilizer, do not use

the impregnation, transport or application equipment to

make subsequent applications to crops. The mixing and

application equipment must be used for non-crop

applications only.

• If non-crop sites treated with DuPontTM DPX-KJM44

80XP are to be converted to a food, feed, or fiber

agricultural crop, or to a horticultural crop, do not plant

the treated sites for at least one year after the DPXKJM44 80XP application. A field bioassay must then be

completed before planting the desired crop.

FIELD BIOASSAY

To conduct a field bioassay, grow to maturity test strips of

the crop you plan to grow the following year. The test strips

should cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.

Crop response to the field bioassay will indicate whether or

not to plant the crops grown in the test strips. If no crop

injury (such as, poor germination, stunting, or chlorosis,

malformation, or necrosis of leaves) or yield loss is evident

from the crops grown in the test strips, the intended

rotational crop may be planted. If herbicide symptoms or

yield loss is observed do not plant the crop.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

Use the higher spray volumes and herbicide rates for heavy

weed and brush infestations, hard to control species and tall

brush or dense hardwood canopies. Do not apply more than

6 ounces product broadcast per acre per year.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Be sure the sprayer is calibrated before use. Use a sufficient

volume of water that will deliver a uniform spray pattern

and coverage of the target brush or weeds. 

The selected sprayer should be equipped with an agitation

system to help keep DPX-KJM44 80XP suspended in the

spray tank.

Note: Low rates of DPX-KJM44 80XP can kill or severely

injure most crops. Following an DPX-KJM44 80XP

application, the use of spray equipment to apply other

pesticides to crops on which DPX-KJM44 80XP is not

registered may result in their damage.

The most effective way to reduce this crop damage potential

is to use dedicated mixing and application equipment. 

7
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of water.

2. While agitating, add the required amount of DuPontTM

DPX-KJM44 80XP.

3. Continue agitation until the DPX-KJM44 80XP is fully

dispersed, at least 5 minutes.

4. Once the DPX-KJM44 80XP is fully dispersed, maintain

agitation and continue filling tank with water. DPXKJM44 80XP should be thoroughly mixed with water

before adding any other material.

5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired)

and then add the necessary volume of spray adjuvants.

Always add spray adjuvants last.

6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will

occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before

using.

7. Apply DPX-KJM44 80XP spray mixture within 24 hours

of mixing to avoid product degradation.

8. If DPX-KJM44 80XP and a tank mix partner are to be

applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry DPX-KJM44 80XP

in clean water prior to adding it to the tank. This will

prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the

dissolution of the DPX-KJM44 80XP. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP

The spray equipment must be cleaned before DPX-KJM44

80XP is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified

on the labels of the previously applied products. 

AT THE END OF THE DAY

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads

of DPX-KJM44 80XP herbicide are applied, at the end of

each day of spraying the interior of the tank should be

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the

boom and hoses flushed. 

This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits

which can accumulate in the application equipment.

1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.

2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum

volume of 10% of the tank volume. Circulate the water

through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least

two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.

Completely drain the sump.

3. Repeat step 2.

4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a

bucket containing water. The rinsate solution may be

applied to the non-crop sites listed on this label. Do not

exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If cleaners are

used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal

instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the

rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

Notes:

1 Always start with a clean spray tank.

2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to

facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.

3. When DPX-KJM44 80XP is tank mixed with other

pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product

should be examined and the most rigorous procedure

should be followed.

4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout

guidelines on subsequently applied products should be

followed as per the individual labels.

5. Low rates of DPX-KJM44 80XP can kill or severely

injure most crops. Following a DPX-KJM44 80XP

application, the use of spray equipment to apply other

pesticides to crops on which DPX-KJM44 80XP or its

active ingredients are not registered may result in their

damage. The most effective way to reduce this crop

damage potential is to use dedicated mixing and

application equipment.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related

factors determines the potential for spray drift. The

applicator is responsible for considering all these factors

when making application decisions.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY

OF THE APPLICATOR.

IMPORTANCE OF 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. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the

environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how

an applicator balances drift control and coverage.

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 sections of this label.

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL

TECHNIQUES

• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest

practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows

produce larger droplets.

• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended

for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and

does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER

FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHERCAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING

PRESSURE.

• 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.

8
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – AIRCRAFT 

• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of

nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform

coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray

is emitted backwards, parallel to the air stream will

produce larger droplets than other orientations.

• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and

core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back

produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.

• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4

of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift

potential.

• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above

the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.

BOOM HEIGHT

Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)

which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of

droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,

the boom should remain level with the crop and have

minimal bounce.

WIND

Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph

(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,

many factors, including droplet size and equipment type

determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID

GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. 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 hot and dry conditions, set up

equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of

evaporation.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which

causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the

ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing

temperature 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 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.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS

Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the

effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the

applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and

not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

SENSITIVE AREAS

The pesticide should only be applied when the potential 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).

DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES

Drift control additives may be used with all spray equipment

with the exception of controlled droplet applicators. When a

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe

cautionary statements and all other information on the label.

It is recommended that drift control additives be certified by

the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association

(CPDA).

DuPontTM MethodTM 240SL

herbicide 

DRAFT LABEL

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a

manner inconsistent with its labeling. For any requirements

specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency

responsible for pesticide regulation. 

DuPontTM METHODTM 240SL must be used only in

accordance with directions on this label or in separately

published DuPont directions. 

DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages

resulting from the use of this product in any manner not

specifically directed by DuPont. User assumes all risks

associated with such non-directed use.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

METHODTM 240SL herbicide is a soluble liquid that is

mixed in water and applied as a spray. METHODTM 240SL

herbicide may be applied by aerial or ground equipment for

control of broadleaf weeds and woody species, including

many terrestrial and riparian invasive and noxious weeds.

METHODTM 240SL is registered for general weed and

brush control on private, public and military lands as

follows: uncultivated non-agricultural areas (such as

airports, highway, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage

disposal areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas - noncrop producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence

rows, non-irrigation ditchbanks, barrier strips, etc.);

industrial sites - outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and

tank farms, etc.) and natural areas (such as wildlife

management areas, wildlife openings, wildlife habitats,

recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and trails).

METHODTM 240SL may be used for the release or

restoration of native perennial grasses and in established,

industrial turf grasses.

This product may be applied to terrestrial non-crop sites and

unimproved turf sites that contain areas of temporary

surface water caused by collection of water, in equipment

ruts, or in other depressions created by management

activities. It is permissible to treat intermittently flooded low

lying sites, seasonally dry flood plains and transitional areas

between upland and lowland sites when no water is present.

It is also permissible to treat marshes, swamps and bogs

after water has receded, as well as seasonally dry flood

deltas. METHODTM 240SL may be applied up to the waters

edge. Do not apply directly to water.

METHODTM 240SL provides preemergence and/or

postemergence control of the broadleaf weeds, vines and

brush species listed in the weeds controlled section of the

label. For perennial species on the label, a postemergence

application should be used. For best postemergence

performance, an MSO type adjuvant should be included to

the spray solution. Excessive wetting of the target plant is

not necessary but good spray coverage of the target plant is

needed for best results.

METHODTM 240SL is non-corrosive to spray equipment. 

Maximum Seasonal Use Rate: Apply at use rates up to 18

fluid ounces per acre per year. 

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

METHODTM 240SL is quickly taken up by the leaves, stems

and roots of plants. The effects of METHODTM 240SL may

be seen on plants from within a few hours to a few days.

The most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of

stems and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe

necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling,

calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged

roots. Death of treated broadleaf plants may require several

more weeks and up to several months for some woody plant

species.

METHODTM 240SL is rain-fast at 1 hour after application.

TANK MIXTURES

METHODTM 240SL herbicide may be tank mixed with

other herbicides which are registered for the same use sites,

methods of application and timings as specified on this

product label. Refer to the tank mix product label for any

additional instructions or use restrictions. In addition, a

spray adjuvant may be mixed with METHODTM 240SL

when making postemergence applications. Refer to the

adjuvant label for additional instructions or use restrictions. 

ADJUVANTS

Methylated Seed Oils and Vegetable Oils: A methylated

seed oil (MSO) or vegetable oil based adjuvant may provide

increased leaf absorption of METHODTM 240SL. Include

the MSO or vegetable oil adjuvant at 1% v/v (1 gallon per

100 gallons of spray solution). 

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 or rinsate.

Surface Water Advisory

This product may impact surface water quality due to

runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly

draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.

This product is classified as having high potential for

reaching surface water via runoff for several months

after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative

buffer strip between areas to which this product is

applied and surface water features such as ponds,

streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading

of aminocyclopyrachlor from runoff water and

sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by

avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to

occur within 48 hours. 

Ground Water Advisory

Aminocyclopyrachlor has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground

water. This chemical may leach into ground water if

used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly

where the watertable is shallow.

2
Non-ionic Surfactants: Use a non-ionic surfactant at a

minimum rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart surfactant per 100

gallons of spray solution). Surfactant products must contain

at least 70% non-ionic surfactant with a

hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) of 12 to 17.

Invert Emulsions: DuPontTM METHODTM 240SL may be

applied as an invert emulsion. The spray solution results in

an invert (water-in-oil) spray emulsion designed to

minimize spray drift and spray run-off, resulting in more

herbicide deposited on the target foliage. The spray

emulsion may be formed in a single tank (batch mixing) or

injected (in-line mixing). Consult the invert chemical label

for proper mixing directions.

INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT

This product may be used on public, private, and tribal

lands to treat certain weed species infestations that have

been determined to be invasive, consistent with the Federal

Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and

Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) National Early Detection and

Rapid Response (EDRR) System for invasive plants.

Effective EDRR systems address invasions by eradicating

the invader where possible, and controlling them when the

invasive species is too established to be feasibly eradicated.

Once an EDRR assessment has been completed and action

is recommended, a Rapid Response needs to be taken to

quickly contain, deny reproduction, and if possible

eliminate the invader. Consult your appropriate state

extension service, forest service, or regional multidisciplinary invasive species management coordination team to

determine the appropriate Rapid Response provisions and

allowed treatments in your area.

RESISTANCE

When herbicides that affect the same biological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.

Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be

expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product

affecting a different site of action. To better manage

herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and

possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it

may be necessary to change cultural practices within and

between crop seasons such as using a combination of

tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential

herbicide applications that have a different site of action.

Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote

the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep

accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to

help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of

resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer,

consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural

extension service representative for specific alternative

cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in

your area.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally

determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative

extension service, professional consultants or other qualified

authorities to determine appropriate action treatment

threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in

your area.

NON-AGRICULTURAL USES

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR 

NON-AGRICULTURAL USES

long term control of susceptible weeds. The length of

control is dependent upon the application rate, condition

and growth stage of target weeds, environmental conditions

at and following application, and the density and vigor of

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product

that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection

Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part

170). The WPS applies when this product is used to

produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or

greenhouses. Terrestrial non-crop weed control is not

within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard. See

the Product Information section of this label for a

description of noncrop sites.

Do not enter terrestrial/non-crop treated areas without

protective clothing until sprays have dried.

competing desirable vegetation. Best results for long term

weed control occur where grasses and other vegetation is

allowed to recover from adverse environmental conditions

and compete with susceptible weeds. 

DuPontTM METHODTM 240SL may be applied broadcast

using ground spray equipment, fixed wing aircraft or by

helicopter. When applying by fixed wing aircraft or

helicopter, follow directions under the Aerial Applications

section of this label otherwise refer to the section on Ground

Applications when using surface equipment. 

METHODTM 240SL may also be applied using low and

high volume ground spray equipment. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION

AERIAL APPLICATIONS 

When applying by air, apply only using nozzles which will

deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets as

defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not release spray at a

height greater than 10 feet above the ground or canopy

unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Do not

apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion. 

For aerial applications near susceptible crops or other

desirable plants, use a drift control additive as recommended

by the manufacturer, or apply through a “Microfoil” or

“Thru-Valve” boom, or use an equivalent drift control

system. Thickened sprays prepared by using high viscosity

invert systems or other drift control systems may be utilized

if drift control is comparable to that obtained with drift

control additives or the “Thru-Valve” boom. If a spray

thickening agent is used, follow all recommendations and

precautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening

agent with the “Microfoil” boom or other systems that

cannot accommodate thick sprays. 

METHODTM 240SL may be applied by either fixed wing

aircraft or helicopter spray equipment. Fixed wing aircraft

and helicopters can be used to apply METHODTM 240SL

however, do not make applications by fixed wing aircraft

unless appropriate buffer zones can be maintained to prevent

spray drift out of the target area or, when treating open

tracts of land, spray drift as a result of fixed wing aircraft

application can be tolerated. 

The application volume required will vary with the height

and density of the brush and the application equipment

used. Generally, aerial applications will require 15 to 25

gallons of spray solution per acre. 

Regardless of the application volume or spray equipment

used, thorough coverage of the foliage is necessary to

optimize control results.

All precautions and restrictions should be taken to minimize

or eliminate spray drift.

GROUND APPLICATIONS

When applying by ground, apply only using nozzles which

will deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets

as defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not apply with a

nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the ground or canopy

unless necessitated by the application equipment. Apply

with the spray boom or nozzle height as low as possible. Do

not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion. 

For ground applications, keep the spray boom as low as

possible; apply 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; use

spray pressures no greater than are required to obtain

adequate plant coverage; use large-droplet producing nozzle

tips; use drift control additives; use shielded-sprayers or

other drift control systems; and/or spray when wind velocity

is low.

LOW VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION

For low volume applications, see Table 1 for use rate and

mixing guidelines. The spray concentration of METHODTM

240SL should be adjusted according to the spray volume per

acre and the size and plant density of the target brush

species. For best results, include an MSO adjuvant at the

rate of 1% v/v. Good plant coverage is necessary for best

results. Use spray nozzles and pressure that will aid the

proper deposition of the spray solution. Apply in sufficient

spray volume to help provide uniform spray distribution of

spray particles over the area to be treated and to avoid spray

drift. Generally, low volume ground applications will

require 20 to 50 gallons per acre and ultra-low volume

ground application will require 10 to 20 gallons of spray

solution per acre. The use of an even flat fan tip with a spray

angle of 40 degrees or less will aid in proper spray

deposition. Some recommended tip sizes include 4004E or

1504E. For cone or straight stream nozzle patterns, the

adjustable cone nozzles, such as the 5500 X3 or the 5500

X4 may be used. Use the higher concentration rates for hard

to control brush species. Do not apply more than 18 fluid

ounces of DuPontTM METHODTM 240SL per acre per year.

Note: Add a spray pattern indicator, if desired, at the

recommended label rates. 

HIGH VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION 

High volume applications may be applied at rates equivalent

to broadcast rates up to 18 fluid ounces per acre per year.

Where a rate range is indicated for the brush species, use the

higher rate for high density brush sites. For best results, use

MSO adjuvant at the rate of 1% V/V to the spray solution. 

When making broadcast applications, apply near the tops of

the brush plants in a light drizzle pattern. The spray solution

should reach the crown of the plants and trickle down into

the canopy. Use sufficient spray volume to thoroughly and

uniformly wet foliage and stems but don't over apply

causing excessive run-off. Generally, high volume ground

applications will require 100 to 400 gallons per acre. Do

not apply more than 18 fluid ounces per broadcast acre per

year.

SPOT APPLICATION

Spot applications may be applied at rates equivalent to the

broadcast application rate up to a maximum of 18 fluid

ounces per acre per year. Use sufficient spray volume to

thoroughly and uniformly wet target weed or brush foliage.

Use of a high quality MSO adjuvant may be added to the

spray mixture as recommended by the adjuvant

manufacturer. Repeat applications may be made, but the

total amount of METHODTM 240SL must not exceed 18

fluid ounces per year. To prevent misapplication, spot

applications should be applied with either a calibrated boom

sprayer, a boom-less sprayer, or a hand-held or backpack

sprayer. 

Spot applications may be applied at an equivalent broadcast

rate of up to 36 fluid ounces per acre per year but not more

than 50% of an acre may be treated. Do not apply more than

18 fluid ounces product per broadcast acre per year as a

result of broadcast, spot or repeat applications. 

Application rates in Table 2 are based on treating an area of

1000 square feet (sq ft). Mix METHODTM 240SL in 0.3 to 3

gallons of water, depending on the spray volume necessary

to treat 1000 sq ft. 

A spray volume of 0.3 to 3 gallons per 1000 sq ft is

equivalent to 13 to 130 gallons per acre. 

Table 2. Spot spray use rates

INVERT EMULSION APPLICATIONS

METHODTM 240SL can be applied as an invert emulsion

(water in oil). This can be done in a batch mixing (single

tank) or inline-mixing (injected) process. Follow the

directions on the invert chemical guide.

CUT STUMP AND STEM TREATMENTS

Make a dilute solution by mixing 5 to 10 gallons of

METHODTM 240SL in enough basal oil to make 100

gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a knapsack or

backpack sprayer using low pressure and solid cone or flat

fan nozzles. Spray the stump cut surface and thoroughly

wet the cambium layer next to the bark, also treat the sides

of the stump and the root collar area. On larger trees, treat

only the outer 2-3 inches of the stump. On trees 3 inches or

less in diameter treat the entire cut surface. Apply anytime

except when snow or water prevents treating to the ground

line of the stump. Moisture stress may affect optimum

control. 

BASAL BARK TREATMENTS

Make a dilute solution by mixing 10 to 20 gallons of

METHODTM 240SL in enough basal oil to make 100

gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a knapsack or

backpack sprayer using low pressure and solid cone or flat

fan nozzles. Make applications to susceptible brush or tree

species with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter.

Thoroughly wet the lower 12 to 18 inches of the trunk or

stem (from ground line). Treat until run-off at the ground

line is noticeable. Brush or trees with old or rough bark will

require more spray solution than smooth young bark.

Applications can be made anytime of the year, except when

snow or water prevents treating to the ground line of the

brush or tree trunk. 

CUT STUBBLE TREATMENTS

For the prevention of re-sprouting, after hand cutting or

mechanical mowing of susceptible brush species along

rights-of-way and other non-crop sites, apply a broadcast

application of METHODTM 240SL at 18 fluid ounces

product per acre. Apply in a minimum of 20 gallons of

water per acre. Make applications soon after cutting. The

addition of a penetrating agent at 5% V/V or more can aid in

uptake through the bark or exposed roots of the cut brush.

For best results, make applications before or during periods

of active root growth. Do not apply when the soil is frozen

or covered by standing water or snow.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS

BAREGROUND

DuPontTM METHODTM 240SL may be used in non-crop

sites for bareground (total vegetation control) weed control.

Preemergence or postemergence applications of

METHODTM 240SL provides control of many annual and

perennial broadleaf weeds. Apply at up to 18 fluid ounces

product per acre in tank mixes with other products

registered for use on bareground sites. Consult the

manufacturer’s labels for specific rates, weeds controlled

and use restrictions. 

Make a thorough and uniform application with calibrated

spray equipment per label directions. Apply at any time of

the year. Use the higher rates of METHODTM 240SL for

fall applications and in previously untreated areas or areas

with high weed infestations. For postemergence

applications always include a spray adjuvant. For faster

brown-out or burn down results, add glyphosate or similar

products to the tank. For added residual weed control or to

broaden the weed control spectrum, tank mix with other

residual products registered for use on bareground sites. The

level and length of control will depend on the herbicide rate

applied, amount of rainfall, soil texture, environmental and

applications conditions.

UNIMPROVED TURF GRASS 

METHODTM 240SL may be used in non-crop industrial

sites, such as, utility rights-of-way and roadsides, for

general weed control in established industrial turf grasses.

Apply METHODTM 240SL at 2.0 to 4.0 fluid ounces

product per acre. Treatments made prior to the full green-up

stage may delay green-up. Apply METHODTM 240SL by

ground equipment only. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of

water per acre. The addition of an MSO adjuvant may

increase the potential for turf grass injury.

Important: Temporary chlorosis (yellowing), reddening,

stunting, droopy or twisted grass leaves and seed head

suppression may occur.

Do not apply in the first growing season of any grass. Do

not apply METHODTM 240SL to grass under stress from

disease, insects, drought, or other environmental causes.

NON-CROPLAND RESTORATION

METHODTM 240SL is labeled for the control of broadleaf

weeds and brush listed in the weeds controlled section in

unimproved industrial turf, on roadsides, airports, industrial

sites or on other similar non-crop sites in order to establish

or release desirable introduced or native perennial grass

species for site stabilization.

To maximize and extend the weed and brush control

provided by METHODTM 240SL, it is critical that other

vegetation management practices, including mowing, fertilization, etc., be incorporated into the restoration program to

help extend or build on the weed control benefits and

promote the growth of introduced or established grasses

and/or desirable plants or plant communities.

During the season of establishment, METHODTM 240SL

must only be applied after introduced or native perennial

grasses are well established. The grass must have a good

secondary root system and show good vigor. METHODTM

240SL may suppress certain established grasses especially

when the grass plants are stressed by adverse environmental

conditions. Temporary reddening, stunting, droopy or

twisted leaves may occur. Do not apply METHODTM 240SL

to grass under stress from disease, insects, drought, or other

environmental causes. 

Apply METHODTM 240SL at 2.0 to 4.0 fluid ounces

product per acre in the fall, before the soil freezes, or in the

spring after the soil thaws. When applied at lower rates,

METHODTM 240SL provides short-term control of weeds

listed; when applied at higher rates, weed control spectrum

is broadened and extended.

Do not apply when the soil is frozen. 

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS 

• Applications should be made only when there is little or

no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities of

spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injury

susceptible plants.

• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may

result if equipment is drained or flushed on or near these

trees or plants, or on areas where their roots may extend,

or in locations where the chemical may be washed or

moved into contact with their roots.

• In non-crop areas adjacent to desirable trees or plants,

avoid overlapping spray applications and shut off the

spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping

to avoid injury to desired plants. 

• Applications made where runoff water flows onto

agricultural land may injure crops. Applications made

during periods of intense rainfall, to soils saturated with

water, or soils through which rainfall will not readily

penetrate may result in runoff and movement of

METHODTM 240SL. Treated soil should be left

undisturbed to reduce the potential for METHODTM

240SL movement by soil erosion due to wind or water.

• Caution is advised when using this product in areas

where loss of broadleaf plants, including legumes and

wild flowers, cannot be tolerated. Without prior

experience, it is necessary that small areas containing

these plants be tested for tolerance to METHODTM

240SL and its soil residues before any large scale

spraying occurs.

• In the case of suspected offsite movement of

METHODTM 240SL to cropland, soil samples should be

quantitatively analyzed for METHODTM 240SL or any

other herbicide which could be having an adverse effect

on the crop, in addition to conducting the abovedescribed bioassay.

• METHODTM 240SL may suppress or severely injure

certain established grasses, such as some Bromus

species, especially when the grass plants are stressed by

adverse environmental conditions. Areas that contain

these grass plants should recover as environmental

conditions for good grass growth occur. 

6
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS

• Do not make applications when circumstances favor

movement from treatment site.

• Do not apply or otherwise permit DuPontTM

METHODTM 240SL, or sprays containing METHODTM

240SL, to come into contact with any broadleaf crop or

other desirable broadleaf plants.

• Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation. To

avoid injury to crops and other desirable plants, do not

treat or allow spray drift or run-off 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 purposes. Do not apply to snow

covered or frozen ground.

• Do not apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals

including their outer banks.

• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.

• Do not apply more than 18 fluid ounces of product (0.28

lb ai) per acre per year.

• Do not use plant material treated with this product in

composting or mulching of desirable, susceptible

broadleaf plants.

• Do not graze or feed forage, hay, or straw from treated

areas to livestock.

• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or

similar areas.

• Do not use the equipment used to mix or apply

METHODTM 240SL on crops unless specifically directed

by supplemental labeling. If applied on fertilizer, do not

use the impregnation, transport or application equipment

to make subsequent applications to crops. The mixing

and application equipment must be used for non-crop

applications only.

• If non-crop sites treated with METHODTM 240SL are to

be converted to a food, feed, or fiber agricultural crop, or

to a horticultural crop, do not plant the treated sites for at

least one year after the METHODTM 240SL application.

A field bioassay must then be completed before planting

the desired crop.

FIELD BIOASSAY

To conduct a field bioassay, grow to maturity test strips of

the crop you plan to grow the following year. The test strips

should cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.

Crop response to the field bioassay will indicate whether or

not to plant the crops grown in the test strips. If no crop

injury (such as, poor germination, stunting, or chlorosis,

malformation, or necrosis of leaves) or yield loss is evident

from the crops grown in the test strips, the intended

rotational crop may be planted. If herbicide symptoms or

yield loss is observed do not plant the crop.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

Use the higher spray volumes and herbicide rates for heavy

weed and brush infestations, hard to control species and tall

brush or dense hardwood canopies. Do not apply more than

18 fluid ounces product broadcast per acre per year.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Be sure the sprayer is calibrated before use. Use a sufficient

volume of water that will deliver a uniform spray pattern

and coverage of the target brush or weeds. 

The selected sprayer should be equipped with an agitation

system to help keep METHODTM 240SL suspended in the

spray tank.

Note: Low rates of METHODTM 240SL can kill or severely

injure most crops. Following an METHODTM 240SL

application, the use of spray equipment to apply other

pesticides to crops on which METHODTM 240SL is not

registered may result in their damage.

7
The most effective way to reduce this crop damage potential

is to use dedicated mixing and application equipment. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of water.

2. While agitating, add the required amount of DuPontTM

METHODTM 240SL.

3. Continue agitation until the METHODTM 240SL is fully

dispersed, at least 5 minutes.

4. Once the METHODTM 240SL is fully dispersed, maintain

agitation and continue filling tank with water.

METHODTM 240SL should be thoroughly mixed with

water before adding any other material.

5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired)

and then add the necessary volume of spray adjuvants.

Always add spray adjuvants last.

6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will

occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before

using.

7. Apply METHODTM 240SL spray mixture within 24

hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.

8. If METHODTM 240SL and a tank mix partner are to be

applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry METHODTM 240SL

in clean water prior to adding it to the tank. This will

prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the

dissolution of the METHODTM 240SL. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP

The spray equipment must be cleaned before METHODTM

240SL is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified

on the labels of the previously applied products. 

AT THE END OF THE DAY

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads

of METHODTM 240SL herbicide are applied, at the end of

each day of spraying the interior of the tank should be

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the

boom and hoses flushed.

This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits

which can accumulate in the application equipment.

1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.

2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum

volume of 10% of the tank volume. Circulate the water

through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least

two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.

Completely drain the sump.

3. Repeat step 2.

4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a

bucket containing water. The rinsate solution may be

applied to the non-crop sites listed on this label. Do not

exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If cleaners are

used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal

instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the

rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

Notes:

1 Always start with a clean spray tank.

2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to

facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.

3. When METHODTM 240SL is tank mixed with other

pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product

should be examined and the most rigorous procedure

should be followed.

4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout

guidelines on subsequently applied products should be

followed as per the individual labels.

5. Low rates of METHODTM 240SL can kill or severely

injure most crops. Following a METHODTM 240SL

application, the use of spray equipment to apply other

pesticides to crops on which METHODTM 240SL or its

active ingredients are not registered may result in their

damage. The most effective way to reduce this crop

damage potential is to use dedicated mixing and

application equipment.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related

factors determines the potential for spray drift. The

applicator is responsible for considering all these factors

when making application decisions.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY

OF THE APPLICATOR.

IMPORTANCE OF 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. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the

environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how

an applicator balances drift control and coverage.

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 sections of this label.

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL

TECHNIQUES

• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest

practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows

produce larger droplets.

• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended

for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and

does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER

FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHERCAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING

PRESSURE.

• 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.

8
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – AIRCRAFT 

• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of

nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform

coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray

is emitted backwards, parallel to the air stream will

produce larger droplets than other orientations.

• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and

core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back

produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.

• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4

of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift

potential.

• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above

the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.

BOOM HEIGHT

Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)

which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of

droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,

the boom should remain level with the crop and have

minimal bounce.

WIND

Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph

(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,

many factors, including droplet size and equipment type

determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID

GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. 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 hot and dry conditions, set up

equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of

evaporation.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which

causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the

ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing

temperature 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 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.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS

Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the

effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the

applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and

not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

SENSITIVE AREAS

The pesticide should only be applied when the potential 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).

DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES

Drift control additives may be used with all spray equipment

with the exception of controlled droplet applicators. When a

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe

cautionary statements and all other information on the label.

It is recommended that drift control additives be certified by

the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association

(CPDA).

DRAFT LABEL

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a

manner inconsistent with its labeling. For any requirements

specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency

responsible for pesticide regulation.

DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG must be used only in

accordance with directions on this label or in separately

published DuPont directions.

DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages

resulting from the use of this product in any manner not

specifically directed by DuPont. User assumes all risks

associated with such non-directed use.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

METHODTM 50SG herbicide is a soluble granule that is

mixed in water and applied as a spray. METHODTM 50SG

herbicide may be applied by aerial or ground equipment for

control of broadleaf weeds and woody species, including

many terrestrial and riparian invasive and noxious weeds.

METHODTM 50SG is registered for general weed and brush

control on private, public and military lands as follows:

uncultivated non-agricultural areas (such as airports,

highway, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage disposal

areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas - non-crop

producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence

rows, non-irrigation ditchbanks, barrier strips, etc.);

industrial sites - outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and

tank farms, etc.) and natural areas (such as wildlife

management areas, wildlife openings, wildlife habitats,

recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and trails).

METHODTM 50SG may be used for the release or

restoration of native perennial grasses and in established,

industrial turf grasses.

This product may be applied to terrestrial non-crop sites and

unimproved turf sites that contain areas of temporary

surface water caused by collection of water, in equipment

ruts, or in other depressions created by management

activities. It is permissible to treat intermittently flooded low

lying sites, seasonally dry flood plains and transitional areas

between upland and lowland sites when no water is present.

It is also permissible to treat marshes, swamps and bogs

after water has receded, as well as seasonally dry flood

deltas. METHODTM 50SG may be applied up to the waters

edge. Do not apply directly to water.

METHODTM 50SG provides preemergence and/or

postemergence control of the broadleaf weeds, vines and

brush species listed in the weeds controlled section of the

label. For perennial species on the label, a postemergence

application should be used. For best postemergence

performance, an MSO type adjuvant should be included to

the spray solution. Excessive wetting of the target plant is

not necessary but good spray coverage of the target plant is

needed for best results.

METHODTM 50SG is non-corrosive to spray equipment. 

Do not apply more than 9 ounces of product per acre per

year.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

METHODTM 50SG is quickly taken up by the leaves, stems

and roots of plants. The effects of METHODTM 50SG may

be seen on plants from within a few hours to a few days.

The most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of

stems and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe

necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling,

calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged

roots. Death of treated broadleaf plants may require several

more weeks and up to several months for some woody plant

species.

METHODTM 50SG is rain-fast at 1 hour after application.

TANK MIXTURES

METHODTM 50SG herbicide may be tank mixed with other

herbicides which are registered for the same use sites,

methods of application and timings as specified on this

product label. Refer to the tank mix product label for any

additional instructions or use restrictions. In addition, a

spray adjuvant may be mixed with METHODTM 50SG when

making postemergence applications. Refer to the adjuvant

label for additional instructions or use restrictions. 

ADJUVANTS

Methylated Seed Oils and Vegetable Oils: A methylated

seed oil (MSO) or vegetable oil based adjuvant may provide

increased leaf absorption of METHODTM 50SG. Include the

MSO or vegetable oil adjuvant at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100

gallons of spray solution). 

Non-ionic Surfactants: Use a non-ionic surfactant at a

minimum rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart surfactant per 100

gallons of spray solution). Surfactant products must contain

at least 70% non-ionic surfactant with a

hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) of 12 to 17.

Invert Emulsions: METHODTM 50SG may be applied as an

invert emulsion. The spray solution results in an invert

(water-in-oil) spray emulsion designed to minimize spray

drift and spray run-off, resulting in more herbicide

deposited on the target foliage. The spray emulsion may be

formed in a single tank (batch mixing) or injected (in-line

mixing). Consult the invert chemical label for proper mixing

directions.

INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT

This product may be used on public, private, and tribal

lands to treat certain weed species infestations that have

been determined to be invasive, consistent with the Federal

Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and

Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) National Early Detection and

Rapid Response (EDRR) System for invasive plants.

Effective EDRR systems address invasions by eradicating

the invader where possible, and controlling them when the

invasive species is too established to be feasibly eradicated.

Once an EDRR assessment has been completed and action

is recommended, a Rapid Response needs to be taken to

quickly contain, deny reproduction, and if possible

eliminate the invader. Consult your appropriate state

extension service, forest service, or regional multidisci2
plinary invasive species management coordination team to

determine the appropriate Rapid Response provisions and

allowed treatments in your area.

RESISTANCE

When herbicides that affect the same biological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.

Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be

expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product

affecting a different site of action. To better manage

herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and

possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it

may be necessary to change cultural practices within and

between crop seasons such as using a combination of

tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential

herbicide applications that have a different site of action.

Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote

the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep

accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to

help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of

resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer,

consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural

extension service representative for specific alternative

cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in

your area.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally

determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative

extension service, professional consultants or other qualified

authorities to determine appropriate action treatment

threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in

your area.

NON-AGRICULTURAL USES

PRODUCT INFORMATION

FOR NON-AGRICULTURAL USES

DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG herbicide is a soluble granule

that is mixed in water and applied as a spray. METHODTM

50SG herbicide may be applied by aerial or ground

equipment for control of broadleaf weeds and woody

species, including many terrestrial and riparian invasive and

noxious weeds. METHODTM 50SG is registered for general

weed and brush control on private, public and military lands

as follows: uncultivated non-agricultural areas (such as

airports, highway, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage

disposal areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas - noncrop producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence

rows, non-irrigation ditch banks, barrier strips, etc.);

industrial sites - outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and

tank farms, etc.) and natural areas (such as wildlife

management areas, wildlife openings, wildlife habitats,

recreation areas, campgrounds, trailheads, and trails).

METHODTM 50SG may be used for the establishment or

release of native grasses and for weed control in established,

unimproved grass turf. 

Apply METHODTM 50SG preemergence or early

postemergence when broadleaf weeds are actively

germinating or growing. METHODTM 50SG can provide

long term control of susceptible weeds. The length of

control is dependent upon the application rate, condition

and growth stage of target weeds, environmental conditions

at and following application, and the density and vigor of

competing desirable vegetation. Best results for long term

weed control occur where grasses and other vegetation is

allowed to recover from adverse environmental conditions

and compete with susceptible weeds. 

METHODTM 50SG may be applied broadcast using ground

spray equipment, fixed wing aircraft or by helicopter. When

applying by fixed wing aircraft or helicopter, follow

directions under the Aerial Applications section of this label

otherwise refer to the section on Ground Applications when

using surface equipment. 

METHODTM 50SG may also be applied using low and high

volume ground spray equipment. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION

AERIAL APPLICATIONS 

When applying by air, apply only using nozzles which will

deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets as

defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not release spray at a

height greater than 10 feet above the ground or canopy

unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Do not

apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion.

For aerial applications near susceptible crops or other

desirable plants, use a drift control additive as recommended

by the manufacturer, or apply through a “Microfoil” or

“Thru-Valve” boom, or use an equivalent drift control

system. Thickened sprays prepared by using high viscosity

invert systems or other drift control systems may be utilized

if drift control is comparable to that obtained with drift

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product

that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection

Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part

170). The WPS applies when this product is used to

produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or

greenhouses. Terrestrial non-crop weed control is not

within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard. See the

Product Information section of this label for a description of

noncrop sites.

Do not enter terrestrial/non-crop treated areas without

protective clothing until sprays have dried.

3
control additives or the “Thru-Valve” boom. If a spray

thickening agent is used, follow all recommendations and

precautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening

agent with the “Microfoil” boom or other systems that

cannot accommodate thick sprays.

DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG may be applied by either fixed

wing aircraft or helicopter spray equipment. Fixed wing

aircraft and helicopters can be used to apply METHODTM

50SG however, do not make applications by fixed wing

aircraft unless appropriate buffer zones can be maintained to

prevent spray drift out of the target area or, when treating

open tracts of land, spray drift as a result of fixed wing

aircraft application can be tolerated. 

The application volume required will vary with the height

and density of the brush and the application equipment

used. Generally, aerial applications will require 15 to 25

gallons of spray solution per acre. 

Regardless of the application volume or spray equipment

used, thorough coverage of the foliage is necessary to

optimize control results.

All precautions and restrictions should be taken to

minimize or eliminate spray drift.

GROUND APPLICATIONS

When applying by ground, apply only using nozzles which

will deliver coarse or greater (VMD >350 microns) droplets

as defined by ASABE S572 standard. Do not apply with a

nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the ground or canopy

unless necessitated by the application equipment. Apply

with the spray boom or nozzle height as low as possible. Do

not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not

apply during a temperature inversion.

For ground applications, keep the spray boom as low as

possible; apply 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; use

spray pressures no greater than are required to obtain

adequate plant coverage; use large-droplet producing nozzle

tips; use drift control additives; use shielded-sprayers or

other drift control systems; and/or spray when wind velocity

is low.

LOW VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION

For low volume foliar applications, see Table 1 for use rate

and mixing guidelines. The spray concentration of

METHODTM 50SG should be adjusted according to the

spray volume per acre and the size and plant density of the

target brush species. For best results, include an MSO

adjuvant at the rate of 1% v/v. Good plant coverage is

necessary for best results. Use spray nozzles and pressure

that will aid the proper deposition of the spray solution.

Apply in sufficient spray volume to help provide uniform

spray distribution of spray particles over the area to be

treated and to avoid spray drift. Generally, low volume

ground applications will require 20 to 50 gallons per acre

and ultra-low volume ground application will require 10 to

20 gallons of spray solution per acre. The use of an even flat

fan tip with a spray angle of 40 degrees or less will aid in

proper spray deposition. Some recommended tip sizes

include 4004E or 1504E. For cone or straight stream nozzle

patterns, the adjustable cone nozzles, such as the 5500 X3

or the 5500 X4 may be used. Use the higher concentration

rates for hard to control brush species. Do not apply more

than 9 ounces product of METHODTM 50SG per acre per

year.

Note: Add a spray pattern indicator, if desired, at the

recommended label rates. 

HIGH VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATION

High volume applications may be applied at rates equivalent

to broadcast rates up to 9 ounces product per acre per year.

Where a rate range is indicated for the brush species, use the

higher rate for high density brush sites. For best results, use

MSO adjuvant at the rate of 1% V/V to the spray solution. 

When making broadcast applications, apply near the tops of

the brush plants in a light drizzle pattern. The spray solution

should reach the crown of the plants and trickle down into

the canopy. Use sufficient spray volume to thoroughly and

uniformly wet foliage and stems but don't over apply

causing excessive run-off. Generally, high volume ground

applications will require 100 to 400 gallons per acre.

Table 1: METHODTM 50SG Use Rate and Mixing Guide
Do not apply more than 9 ounces product per broadcast acre

per year.

SPOT APPLICATION

Spot applications may be applied at rates equivalent to the

broadcast application rate up to a maximum of 9 ounces

product per acre per year. Use sufficient spray volume to

thoroughly and uniformly wet target weed or brush foliage.

Use of a high quality MSO adjuvant may be added to the

spray mixture as recommended by the adjuvant

manufacturer. Repeat applications may be made, but the

total amount of DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG must not

exceed 9 ounces product per year. To prevent misapplication, spot applications should be applied with either a

calibrated boom sprayer, a boom-less sprayer, or a handheld or backpack sprayer. 

Spot applications may be applied at an equivalent broadcast

rate of up to 18 ounces product per acre per year but not

more than 50% of an acre may be treated. Do not apply

more than 9 ounces product per broadcast acre per year as a

result of broadcast, spot or repeat applications. 

Application rates in Table 2 are based on treating an area of

1000 square feet (sq ft). Mix METHODTM 50SG in 0.3 to 3

gallons of water, depending on the spray volume necessary

to treat 1000 sq ft. 

A spray volume of 0.3 to 3 gallons per 1000 sq ft is

equivalent to 13 to 130 gallons per acre. 

Table 2. Spot spray use rates

INVERT EMULSION APPLICATIONS

METHODTM 50SG can be applied as an invert emulsion

(water in oil). This can be done in a batch mixing (single

tank) or inline-mixing (injected) process. Follow the

directions on the invert chemical guide.

CUT STUBBLE TREATMENTS

For the prevention of re-sprouting, after hand cutting or

mechanical mowing of susceptible brush species along

rights-of-way and other non-crop sites, apply a broadcast

application of METHODTM 50SG at 9 ounces product per

acre. Apply in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre.

Make applications soon after cutting. The addition of a

penetrating agent at 5% V/V or more can aid in uptake

through the bark or exposed roots of the cut brush. For best

results, make applications before or during periods of active

root growth. Do not apply when the soil is frozen or covered

by standing water or snow. 

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS

BAREGROUND

METHODTM 50SG may be used in non-crop sites for

bareground (total vegetation control) weed control.

Preemergence or postemergence applications of

METHODTM 50SG provides control of many annual and

perennial broadleaf weeds. Apply at up to 9 ounces product

per acre in tank mixes with other products registered for

use on bareground sites. Consult the manufacturer’s labels

for specific rates, weeds controlled and use restrictions. 

Make a thorough and uniform application with calibrated

spray equipment per label directions. Apply at any time of

the year. Use the higher rates of METHODTM 50SG for fall

applications and in previously untreated areas or areas with

high weed infestations. For postemergence applications

always include a spray adjuvant. For faster brown-out or

burn down results, add glyphosate or similar products to the

tank. For added residual weed control or to broaden the

weed control spectrum, tank mix with other residual

products registered for use on bareground sites. The level

and length of control will depend on the herbicide rate

applied, amount of rainfall, soil texture, environmental and

applications conditions.

UNIMPROVED TURF GRASS 

METHODTM 50SG may be used in non-crop industrial sites,

such as, utility rights-of-way and roadsides, for general

weed control in established industrial turf grasses. Apply

METHODTM 50SG at 1.0 to 4.0 ounces product per acre.

Treatments made prior to the full green-up stage may delay

green-up. Apply METHODTM 50SG by ground equipment

only. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. The

addition of an MSO adjuvant may increase the potential for

turf grass injury. 

Important: Temporary chlorosis (yellowing), reddening,

stunting, droopy or twisted grass leaves and seed head

suppression may occur.

Do not apply in the first growing season of any grass. Do

not apply METHODTM 50SG to grass under stress from

disease, insects, drought, or other environmental causes.

NON-CROPLAND RESTORATION

METHODTM 50SG is labeled for the control of broadleaf

weeds and brush listed in the weeds controlled section in

unimproved industrial turf, on roadsides, airports, industrial

sites or on other similar non-crop sites in order to establish

or release desirable introduced or native perennial grass

species for site stabilization.

To maximize and extend the weed and brush control

provided by METHODTM 50SG, it is critical that other

vegetation management practices, including mowing, fertilization, etc., be incorporated into the restoration program to

help extend or build on the weed control benefits and

promote the growth of introduced or established grasses

and/or desirable plants or plant communities.

During the season of establishment, METHODTM 50SG

must only be applied after introduced or native perennial

grasses are well established. The grass must have a good

secondary root system and show good vigor. DuPontTM

METHODTM 50SG may suppress certain established grasses

especially when the grass plants are stressed by adverse

environmental conditions. Temporary reddening, stunting,

droopy or twisted leaves may occur. Do not apply

METHODTM 50SG to grass under stress from disease,

insects, drought, or other environmental causes. 

Apply METHODTM 50SG at 1.0 to 4.0 ounces product per

acre in the fall, before the soil freezes, or in the spring after

the soil thaws. When applied at lower rates, METHODTM

50SG provides short-term control of weeds listed; when

applied at higher rates, weed control spectrum is broadened

and extended.

Do not apply when the soil is frozen. 

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

• Applications should be made only when there is little or

no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities of

spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injury

susceptible plants.

• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may

result if equipment is drained or flushed on or near these

trees or plants, or on areas where their roots may extend,

or in locations where the chemical may be washed or

moved into contact with their roots.

• In non-crop areas adjacent to desirable trees or plants,

avoid overlapping spray applications and shut off the

spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping

to avoid injury to desired plants. 

• Applications made where runoff water flows onto

agricultural land may injure crops. Applications made

during periods of intense rainfall, to soils saturated with

water, or soils through which rainfall will not readily

penetrate may result in runoff and movement of

METHODTM 50SG. Treated soil should be left

undisturbed to reduce the potential for METHODTM

50SG movement by soil erosion due to wind or water.

• Caution is advised when using this product in areas

where loss of broadleaf plants, including legumes and

wild flowers, cannot be tolerated. Without prior

experience, it is necessary that small areas containing

these plants be tested for tolerance to METHODTM

50SGand its soil residues before any large scale spraying

occurs.

• In the case of suspected offsite movement of

METHODTM 50SG to cropland, soil samples should be

quantitatively analyzed for METHODTM 50SG or any

other herbicide which could be having an adverse effect

on the crop, in addition to conducting the abovedescribed bioassay.

• METHODTM 50SG may suppress or severely injure

certain established grasses, such as some Bromus

species, especially when the grass plants are stressed by

adverse environmental conditions. Areas that contain

these grass plants should recover as environmental

conditions for good grass growth occur. 

IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS

• Do not make applications when circumstances favor

movement from treatment site. 

• Do not apply or otherwise permit METHODTM 50SG, or

sprays containing METHODTM 50SG, to come into

contact with any broadleaf crop or other desirable

broadleaf plants. 

• Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation. To

avoid injury to crops and other desirable plants, do not

treat or allow spray drift or run-off 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 purposes. Do not apply to snow

covered or frozen ground.

• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.

• Do not apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals

including their outer banks.

• Do not apply more than 9 ounces of product (0.28 lb ai)

per acre per year.

• Do not use plant material treated with this product in

composting or mulching of desirable, susceptible

broadleaf plants.

• Do not graze or feed forage, hay, or straw from treated

areas to livestock.

• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or

similar areas.

• Do not use the equipment used to mix or apply

METHODTM 50SG on crops unless specifically directed

by supplemental labeling. If applied on fertilizer, do not

use the impregnation, transport or application equipment

to make subsequent applications to crops. The mixing

and application equipment must be used for non-crop

applications only.

• If non-crop sites treated with METHODTM 50SG are to

be converted to a food, feed, or fiber agricultural crop, or

to a horticultural crop, do not plant the treated sites for at

least one year after the METHODTM 50SG application. A

field bioassay must then be completed before planting

the desired crop.

FIELD BIOASSAY

To conduct a field bioassay, grow to maturity test strips of

the crop you plan to grow the following year. The test strips

should cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.

Crop response to the field bioassay will indicate whether or

not to plant the crops grown in the test strips. If no crop

injury (such as, poor germination, stunting, or chlorosis,

malformation, or necrosis of leaves) or yield loss is evident

from the crops grown in the test strips, the intended

rotational crop may be planted. If herbicide symptoms or

yield loss is observed do not plant the crop.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

Use the higher spray volumes and herbicide rates for heavy

weed and brush infestations, hard to control species and tall

brush or dense brush/hardwood canopies. Do not apply

more than 9 ounces product broadcast per acre per year.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Be sure the sprayer is calibrated before use. Use a sufficient

volume of water that will deliver a uniform spray pattern

and coverage of the target brush or weeds. 

The selected sprayer should be equipped with an agitation

system to help keep DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG

suspended in the spray tank.

Note: Low rates of METHODTM 50SG can kill or severely

injure most crops. Following an METHODTM 50SG

application, the use of spray equipment to apply other

pesticides to crops on which METHODTM 50SG is not

registered may result in their damage.

is to use dedicated mixing and application equipment. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of water.

2. While agitating, add the required amount of METHODTM

50SG.

3. Continue agitation until the METHODTM 50SG is fully

dispersed, at least 5 minutes.

4. Once the METHODTM 50SG is fully dispersed, maintain

agitation and continue filling tank with water.

METHODTM 50SG should be thoroughly mixed with

water before adding any other material.

5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired)

and then add the necessary volume of spray adjuvants.

Always add spray adjuvants last.

6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will

occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before

using.

7. Apply METHODTM 50SG spray mixture within 24 hours

of mixing to avoid product degradation.

8. If METHODTM 50SG and a tank mix partner are to be

applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry METHODTM 50SG

in clean water prior to adding it to the tank. This will

prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the

dissolution of the METHODTM 50SG.

SPRAYER CLEANUP

The spray equipment must be cleaned before METHODTM

50SG is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified

on the labels of the previously applied products. 

AT THE END OF THE DAY

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads

of METHODTM 50SG herbicide are applied, at the end of

each day of spraying the interior of the tank should be

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the

boom and hoses flushed. 

This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits

which can accumulate in the application equipment.

1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.

2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum

volume of 10% of the tank volume. Circulate the water

through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least

two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.

Completely drain the sump.

3. Repeat step 2.

7
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a

bucket containing water. The rinsate solution may be

applied to the non-crop sites listed on this label. Do not

exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If cleaners are

used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal

instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the

rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

Notes:

1 Always start with a clean spray tank.

2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to

facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.

3. When DuPontTM METHODTM 50SG is tank mixed with

other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product

should be examined and the most rigorous procedure

should be followed.

4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout

guidelines on subsequently applied products should be

followed as per the individual labels.

5. Low rates of METHODTM 50SG can kill or severely injure

most crops. Following a METHODTM 50SG application,

the use of spray equipment to apply other pesticides to

crops on which METHODTM 50SG or its active

ingredients are not registered may result in their damage.

The most effective way to reduce this crop damage

potential is to use dedicated mixing and application

equipment.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related

factors determines the potential for spray drift. The

applicator is responsible for considering all these factors

when making application decisions.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY

OF THE APPLICATOR.

IMPORTANCE OF 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. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the

environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how

an applicator balances drift control and coverage.

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 sections of this label.

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL

TECHNIQUES

• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest

practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows

produce larger droplets.

• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended

for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and

does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER

FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHERCAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING

PRESSURE.

• 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.

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – AIRCRAFT 

• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of

nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform

coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray

is emitted backwards, parallel to the air stream will

produce larger droplets than other orientations.

• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and

core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back

produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.

• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4

of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift

potential.

• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above

the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.

BOOM HEIGHT

Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)

which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of

droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,

the boom should remain level with the crop and have

minimal bounce.

WIND

Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph

(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,

many factors, including droplet size and equipment type

determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID

GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. 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 hot and dry conditions, set up

equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of

evaporation.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which

causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the

ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing

temperature 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 smoke from a ground source or an aircraft

smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a

8
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an

inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly

dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS

Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the

effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the

applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and

not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

SENSITIVE AREAS

The pesticide should only be applied when the potential 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).

DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES

Drift control additives may be used with all spray equipment

with the exception of controlled droplet applicators. When a

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe

cautionary statements and all other information on the label.

It is recommended that drift control additives be certified by

the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association

(CPDA).

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 rinsate.

Surface water advisory:

This product may impact surface water quality due to

runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly

draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.

This product is classified as having high potential for

reaching surface water via runoff for several months

after application. A level, wellmaintained vegetative

buffer strip between areas to which this product is

applied and surface water features such as ponds,

streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading

of aminocyclopyrachlor from runoff water and

sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by

avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to

occur within 48 hours.

Groundwater advisory:

Aminocyclopyrachlor has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground

water. This chemical may leach into ground water if

used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly

where the water table is shallow.

broadleaf weeds listed on this label. Use postemergence

applications when targeting perennial species. 

DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide is registered for

use on turfgrasses that are being grown for aesthetic or

recreational purposes or climatic modification in or around

home lawns, residential dwellings, business and office

complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential

complexes, institutional buildings, airports, cemeteries,

parks, playgrounds, schools, day-care facilities, golf

courses, athletic fields, other landscaped areas and sod

farms.

DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide is quickly taken up by the

leaves, stems and roots of plants. DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide has excellent soil activity. The effects of DPXKJM44 80XP turf herbicide may be seen on weeds from

within a few hours to a few days after application. The most

noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of stems and

leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe necrosis,

stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling, calloused

stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged roots.

Complete death of the weeds may require four to six weeks.

This product can affect susceptible broadleaf plants directly

through application to the foliage, stems and trunks as well

as indirectly by root uptake from treated soils. Do not apply

this product directly to, or allow spray drift to come in

contact with, ornamental groundcovers, foliage plants,

flowers, trees, shrubs, nearby crop plants or other desirable

plants; or to the soil where potentially sensitive plants will

be planted during the same season. Do not exceed specified

application rates for any area and particular care must be

taken within the dripline of trees and shrubs or other ornamental plants.

DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide must be mixed with water

before application. DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide is

rain-fast at immediately after application. DPX-KJM44

80XP turf herbicide may be applied up to the edge of water

bodies, including streams, lakes, ponds, etc. Do not apply

DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide directly to water. DPXKJM44 80XP turf herbicide is non-volatile and noncorrosive to spray equipment. 

Consult your local DuPont Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest

control advisor for regionally specific information regarding

application timing.

Established Warm Season Turfgrasses3, 4

Common Name Scientific Name

Bahiagrass Paspalum notatum

Centipedegrass1 Eremochloa ophiuroides

Zoysiagrass1 Zoysia japonica 1Do not apply to these turfgrass species unless potential turfgrass

injury can be tolerated. When treating these turfgrass species, do

not apply more than 1 ounce of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide

per acre. To minimize the potential for turfgrass injury, a

treatment interval of at least 28 days should be used on these

species. Avoid swath overlaps.

2Do not apply DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide to golf course

greens.

3Do not treat warm season turfgrasses with DPX-KJM44 80XP

turf herbicide when mowing height is less than 1/2 inch.

4

The use of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide in the spring when

warm season turfgrass is breaking dormancy may delay green-up

of the turfgrass. 

Application to Turfgrass Species Not Listed OnThis

Label

Users who wish to use DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide on

a turfgrass species that is not listed on this label may

determine the suitability for such uses by treating a small

area at a specified application rate. Prior to treatment of

larger areas, the treated area should be observed for any

signs of herbicidal injury during 30 days of normal growing

conditions to determine if the treatment is safe to the target

species. The user assumes the responsibility for any plant

damage or other liability resulting from use of DPX-KJM44

80XP turf herbicide on a turfgrass species not listed on this

label.

Avoiding Spray Drift

Apply DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide in a manner that

will avoid contacting nearby susceptible crops or other

desirable plants with spray droplets. Applications must be

made only when the risk of spray drift is at a minimum.

Very small quantities of spray, which may not be visible,

may seriously injure susceptible plants including ornamental trees and shrubs. Do not apply when the wind will

carry spray mist toward susceptible crops or ornamental

plants.

Drift Management Recommendations

Spray drift can be substantially reduced by keeping the

spray boom as low to the ground as possible; by applying no

less than 20 gallons of spray solution per acre (except when

using Low Volume Applications – see below); by using the

manufacturer’s minimum recommended spray pressures for

the specific nozzle type selected; and by making applications when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). For hand-gun applications, use the minimum

pressure that is required to obtain adequate coverage

without forming a mist.

APPLICATION RATES FOR LAWNS, GOLF

COURSES AND OTHER TURFGRASS AREAS

Apply 1 to 1.5 ounces of DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide per acre in sufficient water to provide thorough

coverage of the treated area. Use properly calibrated application equipment that will produce a uniform, coarse droplet

spray (>250 microns) as defined by ASABE S572 standard,

using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Do

not apply more than 6 ounces of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide (0.28 lb ae) per acre per year in broadcast applications to turfgrass.

On cool season turfgrasses, including Kentucky bluegrass,

perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and fine fescue, when applications will not be made within 5 feet of ornamental

groundcovers, foliage plants, flowers, trees, shrubs or other

desirable plants, DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide may be

applied at 2 ounces of product per acre.

Avoid overlapping of the spray pattern, which could result

in higher than directed application rates. Application rates

above those directed on this label could result in turf injury.

Application Restrictions for Sod Farms

Maintain a 25-foot buffer around non-target aquatic areas

and between the point of direct application and the closest

downwind edge of non-target terrestrial areas. Apply only

using nozzles which will deliver coarse or greater (VMD

>250 microns) droplets as defined by ASABE S572

standard. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4

feet above the ground or crop canopy. Do not apply when

wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not apply during a

temperature inversion.

Standard Broadcast Application

Apply 1 to 1.5 ounces of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide

in sufficient water to deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons of spray

solution per 1,000 square feet (21.78 to 217.8 gallons per

acre). Higher application volumes may be used when DPXKJM44 80XP turf herbicide is tank-mixed with liquid fertilizers.

Low Volume Application

Apply 1 to 1.5 ounces of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide

in sufficient water to deliver from 1/8 to 1/2 gallons of

spray solution per 1,000 square feet. (5.5 to 21.78 gallons

per acre). Use low pressures and application equipment

capable of delivering a uniform droplet size that can

adequately wet the weed leaf surface. Do not apply using

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application equipment. 

Spot Treatment Using Portable Sprayers

Mix 0.026 ounces (0.75 grams) of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide in 1 gallon of water and apply to broadleaf weeds

by wetting the foliage to point of runoff. One gallon of

spray solution will treat approximately 1,000 square feet of

turfgrass.

Newly Seeded Turfgrass

DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide is an effective herbicide

for broadleaf weed control immediately prior to or after

seeding of cool season turfgrasses (except bentgrass) during

turf renovations. DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide will

control many broadleaf weeds that compete with and slow

the establishment of cool season turfgrass stands. Apply 1 to

1.5 ounces of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide in sufficient

water to deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons of spray solution per

1,000 square feet (21.78 to 217.8 gallons per acre). Apply at

grass seeding for best performance. DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide may be applied to seedling cool season turfgrasses

(except bentgrass) at any time after germination.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment must be clean and free from

previous pesticide deposits before mixing DPX-KJM44

80XP turf herbicide.

Mixing Directions:

1. Use clean, well maintained and properly calibrated application equipment.

2. Fill sprayer tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water.

3. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Do not use air

agitation.

4. Add DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide directly to the

sprayer tank.

5. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse DPX-KJM44 80XP turf

herbicide and continue agitation to keep the product in

suspension. 

6. Add the remaining volume of water required for application.

TANK-MIXTURES

Tank-mixtures with other pesticides and liquid fertilizers:

DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide may be tank-mixed with

other pesticides and liquid fertilizers (including liquid iron

products). Perform a small scale compatibility test prior to

mixing products in the spray tank of application equipment.

When tank-mixing DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide,

observe all precautions and limitations on each product

label. Do not exceed any label application rates. DPXKJM44 80XP turf herbicide must not be tank-mixed with

any product containing a label prohibition against such

mixing. All State and Federal regulations relating to the

application of liquid fertilizers or liquid iron and this

product must be strictly followed. The physical compatibility of DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide will vary with

different sources of other pesticide and liquid fertilizer

products as well as local cultural practices. For a tankmixture test, prepare the desired mixture on a small scale

(pint or quart jar) using the proper proportions of pesticides

and/or fertilizers and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. Add water and the desired products to

the jar following the sequence listed below. Then close the

jar, shake it well and observe the mixture for several

seconds. Check the mixture again after 30 minutes. If the

mixture shows no signs of separating, thickening, forming a

gel or foaming excessively, then the combination may be

used.

Tank-mixing Sequence:

Add different formulation types in the sequence indicated

below. Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after

the addition of each product.

1. Water soluble bags

2. DuPontTM DPX-KJM44 80XP turf herbicide and other

water dispersible granules
7

3. Wettable powders

4. Water-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)

5. Water soluble concentrates

6. Oil-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)

7. Emulsifiable concentrates

8. Adjuvants, surfactants and oils

9. Soluble fertilizers

10. Drift retardants

Turfgrass tolerance to tank-mixtures:

Certain turfgrass species or varieties may be sensitive to

tank-mixtures of herbicides with other pesticides and/or

liquid fertilizers. If local experience is not available, then a

small area of the turfgrass in question should be treated with

the tank-mixture and observed for injury during 30 days of

normal growing conditions to determine if the treatment is

safe before making widespread applications to the target

species/variety.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce the risk of

forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to

remove. Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse

application equipment and flush hoses, booms and nozzles

with clean water. Clean all other associated application

equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when

cleaning equipment. Do not clean equipment near wells,

water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste

rinse water in accordance with local regulations.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

When herbicides that affect the same physiological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same location, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a properly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become predominant in that

location. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes

cannot be expected from herbicides that target the same site

of action. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product that

affects a different site of action. To manage herbicide resistance, it may be necessary to tank-mix this product and/or

make sequential applications with herbicides that have a

different site of action. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor for regionally

specific information regarding herbicide resistance management.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, chemical and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor to determine

appropriate action threshold levels for specific weeds in

your area.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

IMPRELISTM herbicide is a soluble liquid that is mixed in

water and applied as a spray. IMPRELISTM herbicide must

only be applied with ground equipment for selective control

of broadleaf weeds in turfgrass. IMPRELISTM herbicide

provides preemergence and/or postemergence control of the

broadleaf weeds listed on this label. Use postemergence

applications when targeting perennial species. 

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE 

REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this

product that are not within the scope of the Worker

Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides, 40

CFR part 170. The WPS applies when this product is

used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests,

nurseries, or greenhouses. 

Professional applications to golf courses, residential,

industrial and commercial lawns and sports fields are

not within the scope of the Worker Protection

Standard.

Do not allow other workers to enter the treated area

while application is in progress. Keep pets and

unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays

have dried. 

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 the label

about personal protective equipment, restricted-entry

interval, and notification to workers (as applicable).

This product may be used on sod farms that are

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 State or Tribal agency responsible for

pesticide regulation.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas

during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. 

For early entry into 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, wear:

• Coveralls

• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof

material

• Shoes plus socks

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 rinsate.

Surface water advisory:

This product may impact surface water quality due

to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for

poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground

water. This product is classified as having high

potential for reaching surface water via runoff for

several months after application. A level, wellmaintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to

which this product is applied and surface water

features such as ponds, streams, and springs will

reduce the potential loading of aminocyclopyrachlor from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of

this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48

hours.

Groundwater advisory:

Aminocyclopyrachlor has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground

water. This chemical may leach into ground water

if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

DuPontTM IMPRELISTM herbicide is registered for use on

turfgrasses that are being grown for aesthetic or recreational

purposes or climatic modification in or around home lawns,

residential dwellings, business and office complexes,

shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes,

institutional buildings, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, schools, day-care facilities, golf courses, athletic

fields, other landscaped areas and sod farms.

IMPRELISTM herbicide is quickly taken up by the leaves,

stems and roots of plants. IMPRELISTM herbicide has

excellent soil activity. The effects of IMPRELISTM

herbicide may be seen on weeds from within a few hours to

a few days after application. The most noticeable symptom

is a bending and twisting of stems and leaves. Other

advanced symptoms include severe necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling, calloused stems and

leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged roots. Complete death

of the weeds may require four to six weeks.

This product can affect susceptible broadleaf plants directly

through application to the foliage, stems and trunks as well

as indirectly by root uptake from treated soils. Do not apply

this product directly to, or allow spray drift to come in

contact with, ornamental groundcovers, foliage plants,

flowers, trees, shrubs, nearby crop plants or other desirable

plants; or to the soil where potentially sensitive plants will

be planted during the same season. Do not exceed specified

application rates for any area and particular care must be

taken within the dripline of trees and shrubs or other ornamental plants.

IMPRELISTM herbicide must be mixed with water before

application. IMPRELISTM herbicide is rain-fast immediately

after application. IMPRELISTM herbicide may be applied up

to the edge of water bodies, including streams, lakes, ponds,

etc. Do not apply IMPRELISTM herbicide directly to water.

IMPRELISTM herbicide is non-volatile and non-corrosive to

spray equipment. 

Consult your local DuPont Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest

control advisor for regionally specific information regarding

application timing.

TURFGRASS APPLICATION

IMPRELISTM herbicide may be applied to the following

established turfgrass species:

Established Cool Season Turfgrasses

Common Name Scientific Name

Bentgrass 1, 2 Agrostis spp.

Bluegrass, Kentucky Poa pratensis

Fescue, Chewing Festuca rubra commutata

Fescue, Creeping Red Festuca rubra

Fescue, Sheep Festuca ovina

Fescue, Tall Festuca arundinaceae

Ryegrass, Perennial Lolium perenne

Established Warm Season Turfgrasses3, 4

Common Name Scientific Name

Bahiagrass Paspalum notatum

Centipedegrass1 Eremochloa ophiuroides

Zoysiagrass1 Zoysia japonica 1Do not apply to these turfgrass species unless potential turfgrass

injury can be tolerated. When treating these turfgrass species, do

not apply more than 3 fluid ounces of IMPRELISTM herbicide per

acre. To minimize the potential for turfgrass injury, a treatment

interval of at least 28 days should be used on these species.

Avoid swath overlaps.

2Do not apply IMPRELISTM herbicide to golf course greens.

3Do not treat warm season turfgrasses with IMPRELISTM

herbicide when mowing height is less than 1/2 inch.

4

The use of IMPRELISTM herbicide in the spring when warm

season turfgrass is breaking dormancy may delay green-up of the

turfgrass. 

Application to Turfgrass Species Not Listed OnThis

Label

Users who wish to use IMPRELISTM herbicide on a

turfgrass species that is not listed on this label may

determine the suitability for such uses by treating a small

area at a specified application rate. Prior to treatment of

larger areas, the treated area should be observed for any

signs of herbicidal injury during 30 days of normal growing

conditions to determine if the treatment is safe to the target

species. The user assumes the responsibility for any plant

damage or other liability resulting from use of IMPRELISTM

herbicide on a turfgrass species not listed on this label.

Avoiding Spray Drift

Apply IMPRELISTM herbicide in a manner that will avoid

contacting nearby susceptible crops or other desirable plants

with spray droplets. Applications must be made only when

the risk of spray drift is at a minimum. Very small quantities

of spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure

susceptible plants including ornamental trees and shrubs.

Do not apply when the wind will carry spray mist toward

susceptible crops or ornamental plants.

Drift Management Recommendations

Spray drift can be substantially reduced by keeping the

spray boom as low to the ground as possible; by applying no

less than 20 gallons of spray solution per acre (except when

using Low Volume Applications – see below); by using the

manufacturer’s minimum recommended spray pressures for

the specific nozzle type selected; and by making applications when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). For hand-gun applications, use the minimum

pressure that is required to obtain adequate coverage

without forming a mist.

APPLICATION RATES FOR LAWNS, GOLF

COURSES AND OTHER TURFGRASS AREAS

Apply 3 to 4.5 fluid ounces of DuPontTM IMPRELISTM

herbicide per acre in sufficient water to provide thorough

coverage of the treated area. Use properly calibrated application equipment that will produce a uniform, coarse droplet

spray (>250 microns) as defined by ASABE S572 standard,

using a low pressure setting to help eliminate off target drift.

Do not apply more than 18 fluid ounces of IMPRELISTM

herbicide (0.28 lbs ae/A) per acre per year in broadcast

applications to turfgrass.

On cool season turfgrasses, including Kentucky bluegrass,

perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and fine fescue, when applications will not be made within 5 feet of ornamental

groundcovers, foliage plants, flowers, trees, shrubs or other

desirable plants, IMPRELISTM herbicide may be applied at

6 fluid ounces of product per acre.

Avoid overlapping of the spray pattern, which could result

in higher than directed application rates. Application rates

above those directed on this label could result in turf injury.

Application Restrictions for Sod Farms

Maintain a 25-foot buffer around non-target aquatic areas

and between the point of direct application and the closest

downwind edge of non-target terrestrial areas. Apply only

using nozzles which will deliver coarse or greater (VMD

>250 microns) droplets as defined by ASABE S572

standard. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4

feet above the ground or crop canopy. Do not apply when

wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not apply during a

temperature inversion

Standard Broadcast Application

Apply 3 to 4.5 fluid ounces of IMPRELISTM herbicide in

sufficient water to deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons of spray

solution per 1,000 square feet (21.78 to 217.8 gallons per

acre). Higher application volumes may be used when

IMPRELISTM herbicide is tank-mixed with liquid fertilizers.

Low Volume Application

Apply 3 to 4.5 fluid ounces of IMPRELISTM herbicide in

sufficient water to deliver from 1/8 to 1/2 gallons of spray

solution per 1,000 square feet. (5.5 to 21.78 gallons per

acre). Use low pressures and application equipment capable

of delivering a uniform droplet size that can adequately wet

the weed leaf surface. Do not use Ultra Low Volume (ULV)

application equipment.

Spot Treatment Using Portable Sprayers

Mix 0.069-0.1 fl. oz. (2 to 3 ml) of IMPRELISTM herbicide

in 1 gallon of water and apply to broadleaf weeds by

wetting the foliage to point of runoff. One gallon of spray

solution will treat approximately 1,000 square feet of

turfgrass.

Newly Seeded Turfgrass

IMPRELISTM herbicide is an effective herbicide for

broadleaf weed control immediately prior to or after seeding

of cool season turfgrasses (except bentgrass) during turf

renovations. IMPRELISTM herbicide will control many

broadleaf weeds that compete with and slow the establishment of cool season turfgrass stands. Apply 3 to 4.5 fluid

ounces of IMPRELISTM herbicide in sufficient water to

deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons of spray solution per 1,000

square feet (21.78 to 217.8 gallons per acre). Apply at grass

seeding for best performance. IMPRELISTM herbicide may

be applied to seedling cool season turfgrasses at any time

after germination.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment must be clean and free from

previous pesticide deposits before mixing IMPRELISTM

herbicide.

Mixing Directions:

1. Use clean, well maintained and properly calibrated application equipment.

2. Fill sprayer tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water.

3. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Do not use air

agitation.

4. Add IMPRELISTM herbicide directly to the sprayer tank.

5. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse IMPRELISTM herbicide

and continue agitation to keep the product in suspension. 

6. Add the remaining volume of water required for application.

TANK-MIXTURES

Tank-mixtures with other pesticides and liquid fertilizers:

IMPRELISTM herbicide may be tank-mixed with other

pesticides and liquid fertilizers (including liquid iron

products). Perform a small scale compatibility test prior to

mixing products in the spray tank of application equipment.

When tank-mixing IMPRELISTM herbicide, observe all

precautions and limitations on each product label. Do not

exceed any label application rates. IMPRELISTM herbicide

must not be tank-mixed with any product containing a label

prohibition against such mixing. All State and Federal regulations relating to the application of liquid fertilizers or

liquid iron and this product must be strictly followed. The

physical compatibility of IMPRELISTM herbicide will vary

with different sources of other pesticide and liquid fertilizer

products as well as local cultural practices. For a tankmixture test, prepare the desired mixture on a small scale

(pint or quart jar) using the proper proportions of pesticides

and/or fertilizers and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. Add water and the desired products to

the jar following the sequence listed below. Then close the

jar, shake it well and observe the mixture for several

seconds. Check the mixture again after 30 minutes. If the

mixture shows no signs of separating, thickening, forming a

gel or foaming excessively, then the combination may be

used.

Tank-mixing Sequence:

Add different formulation types in the sequence indicated

below. Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after

the addition of each product.

1. Water soluble bags

2. Water dispersible granules

3. Wettable powders

4. Water-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)

5. DuPontTM IMPRELISTM herbicide and other water soluble

concentrates

6. Oil-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)
7

7. Emulsifiable concentrates

8. Adjuvants, surfactants and oils

9. Soluble fertilizers

10. Drift retardants

Turfgrass tolerance to tank-mixtures:

Certain turfgrass species or varieties may be sensitive to

tank-mixtures of herbicides with other pesticides and/or

liquid fertilizers. If local experience is not available, then a

small area of the turfgrass in question should be treated with

the tank-mixture and observed for injury during 30 days of

normal growing conditions to determine if the treatment is

safe before making widespread applications to the target

species/variety.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce the risk of

forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to

remove. Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse

application equipment and flush hoses, booms and nozzles

with clean water. Clean all other associated application

equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when

cleaning equipment. Do not clean equipment near wells,

water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste

rinse water in accordance with local regulations.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

When herbicides that affect the same physiological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same location, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a properly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become predominant in that

location. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes

cannot be expected from herbicides that target the same site

of action. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product that

affects a different site of action. To manage herbicide resistance, it may be necessary to tank-mix this product and/or

make sequential applications with herbicides that have a

different site of action. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor for regionally

specific information regarding herbicide resistance management.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, chemical and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor to determine

appropriate action threshold levels for specific weeds in

your area.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 rinsate.

Surface water advisory:

This product may impact surface water quality due to

runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly

draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.

This product is classified as having high potential for

reaching surface water via runoff for several months

after application. A level, wellmaintained vegetative

buffer strip between areas to which this product is

applied and surface water features such as ponds,

streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading

of aminocyclopyrachlor from runoff water and

sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by

avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to

occur within 48 hours.

Groundwater advisory:

Aminocyclopyrachlor has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground

water. This chemical may leach into ground water if

used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly

where the water table is shallow.

roadleaf weeds listed on this label. Use postemergence

applications when targeting perennial species.

DuPontTM DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide is registered

for use on turfgrasses that are being grown for aesthetic or

recreational purposes or climatic modification in or around

home lawns, residential dwellings, business and office

complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential

complexes, institutional buildings, airports, cemeteries,

parks, playgrounds, schools, day-care facilities, golf

courses, athletic fields, other landscaped areas and sod

farms.

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide is quickly taken up by

the leaves, stems and roots of plants. DPX-MAT28 50SG

turf herbicide has excellent soil activity. The effects of

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide may be seen on weeds

from within a few hours to a few days after application. The

most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of stems

and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe

necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling,

calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping, and enlarged

roots. Complete death of the weeds may require four to six

weeks.

This product can affect susceptible broadleaf plants directly

through application to the foliage, stems and trunks as well

as indirectly by root uptake from treated soils. Do not apply

this product directly to, or allow spray drift to come in

contact with, ornamental groundcovers, foliage plants,

flowers, trees, shrubs, nearby crop plants or other desirable

plants; or to the soil where potentially sensitive plants will

be planted during the same season. Do not exceed specified

application rates for any area and particular care must be

taken within the dripline of trees and shrubs or other ornamental plants.

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide must be mixed with

water before application. DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide

is rain-fast immediately after application. DPX-MAT28

50SG turf herbicide may be applied up to the edge of water

bodies, including streams, lakes, ponds, etc. Do not apply

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide directly to water. DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide is non-volatile and noncorrosive to spray equipment. 

Consult your local DuPont Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest

control advisor for regionally specific information regarding

application timing.

The use of DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide in the spring when

warm season turfgrass is breaking dormancy may delay green-up

of the turfgrass. 

Application to Turfgrass Species Not Listed OnThis

Label

Users who wish to use DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide on

a turfgrass species that is not listed on this label may

determine the suitability for such uses by treating a small

area at a specified application rate. Prior to treatment of

larger areas, the treated area should be observed for any

signs of herbicidal injury during 30 days of normal growing

conditions to determine if the treatment is safe to the target

species. The user assumes the responsibility for any plant

damage or other liability resulting from use of DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide on a turfgrass species not listed

on this label.

Avoiding Spray Drift

Apply DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide in a manner that

will avoid contacting nearby susceptible crops or other

desirable plants with spray droplets. Applications must be

made only when the risk of spray drift is at a minimum.

Very small quantities of spray, which may not be visible,

may seriously injure susceptible plants including ornamental trees and shrubs. Do not apply when the wind will

carry spray mist toward susceptible crops or ornamental

plants.

Drift Management Recommendations

Spray drift can be substantially reduced by keeping the

spray boom as low to the ground as possible; by applying no

less than 20 gallons of spray solution per acre (except when

using Low Volume Applications – see below); by using the

manufacturer’s minimum recommended spray pressures for

the specific nozzle type selected; and by making applications when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). For hand-gun applications, use the minimum

pressure that is required to obtain adequate coverage

without forming a mist.

APPLICATION RATES FOR LAWNS, GOLF

COURSES AND OTHER TURFGRASS AREAS

Apply 1.5 to 2.25 ounces of DuPontTM DPX-MAT28 50SG

turf herbicide per acre in sufficient water to provide

thorough coverage of the treated area. Use properly calibrated application equipment that will produce a uniform,

coarse droplet spray (>250 microns) as defined by ASABE

S572 standard, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off

target drift. Do not apply more than 9 ounces of DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide (0.28 lb ai) per acre per year in

broadcast applications to turfgrass.

On cool season turfgrasses, including Kentucky bluegrass,

perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and fine fescue, when applications will not be made within 5 feet of ornamental

groundcovers, foliage plants, flowers, trees, shrubs or other

desirable plants, DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide may be

applied at 3 ounces of product per acre.

Avoid overlapping of the spray pattern, which could result

in higher than directed application rates. Application rates

above those directed on this label could result in turf injury.

Application Restrictions for Sod Farms

Maintain a 25-foot buffer around non-target aquatic areas

and between the point of direct application and the closest

downwind edge of non-target terrestrial areas. Apply only

using nozzles which will deliver coarse or greater (VMD

>250 microns) droplets as defined by ASABE S572

standard. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4

feet above the ground or crop canopy. Do not apply when

wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not apply during a

temperature inversion.

Standard Broadcast Application

Apply 1.5 to 2.25 ounces of DPX-MAT28 50SG turf

herbicide in sufficient water to deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons

of spray solution per 1,000 square feet (21.78 to 217.8

gallons per acre). Higher application volumes may be used

when DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide is tank-mixed with

liquid fertilizers.

Low Volume Application

Apply 1.5 to 2.25 ounces of DPX-MAT28 50SG turf

herbicide in sufficient water to deliver from 1/8 to 1/2

gallons of spray solution per 1,000 square feet. (5.5 to 21.78

gallons per acre). Use low pressures and application

equipment capable of delivering a uniform droplet size that

can adequately wet the weed leaf surface. Do not apply

using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application equipment.

Spot Treatment Using Portable Sprayers

Mix 0.034 to 0.052 ounces (1.0 to 1.5 grams) of DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide in 1 gallon of water and apply

to broadleaf weeds by wetting the foliage to point of runoff.

One gallon of spray solution will treat approximately 1,000

square feet of turfgrass.

Newly Seeded Turfgrass

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide is an effective herbicide

for broadleaf weed control immediately prior to or after

seeding of cool season turfgrasses (except bentgrass) during

turf renovations. DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide will

control many broadleaf weeds that compete with and slow

the establishment of cool season turfgrass stands. Apply 1.5

to 2.25 ounces of DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide in

sufficient water to deliver from 0.5 to 5 gallons of spray

solution per 1,000 square feet (21.78 to 217.8 gallons per

acre). Apply at grass seeding for best performance. DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide may be applied to seedling

cool season turfgrasses (except bentgrass) at any time after

germination.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment must be clean and free from

previous pesticide deposits before mixing DPX-MAT28

50SG turf herbicide.

Mixing Directions:

1. Use clean, well maintained and properly calibrated application equipment.

2. Fill sprayer tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water.

3. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Do not use air

agitation.

4. Add DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide directly to the

sprayer tank.

5. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse DPX-MAT28 50SG turf

herbicide and continue agitation to keep the product in

suspension. 

6. Add the remaining volume of water required for application.

TANK-MIXTURES

Tank-mixtures with other pesticides and liquid fertilizers:

DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide may be tank-mixed with

other pesticides and liquid fertilizers (including liquid iron

products). Perform a small scale compatibility test prior to

mixing products in the spray tank of application equipment.

When tank-mixing DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide,

observe all precautions and limitations on each product

label. Do not exceed any label application rates. DPXMAT28 50SG turf herbicide must not be tank-mixed with

any product containing a label prohibition against such

mixing. All State and Federal regulations relating to the

application of liquid fertilizers or liquid iron and this

product must be strictly followed. The physical compatibility of DPX-MAT28 50SG turf herbicide will vary with

different sources of other pesticide and liquid fertilizer

products as well as local cultural practices. For a tankmixture test, prepare the desired mixture on a small scale

(pint or quart jar) using the proper proportions of pesticides

and/or fertilizers and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. Add water and the desired products to

the jar following the sequence listed below. Then close the

jar, shake it well and observe the mixture for several

seconds. Check the mixture again after 30 minutes. If the

mixture shows no signs of separating, thickening, forming a

gel or foaming excessively, then the combination may be

used.

Tank-mixing Sequence:

Add different formulation types in the sequence indicated

below. Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after

the addition of each product.

1. Water soluble bags

2. DuPontTM DPX-MAT 28 50SG and other water soluble or

dispersible granules
7

3. Wettable powders

4. Water-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)

5. Water soluble concentrates

6. Oil-based suspension concentrates (Flowables)

7. Emulsifiable concentrates

8. Adjuvants, surfactants and oils

9. Soluble fertilizers

10. Drift retardants

Turfgrass tolerance to tank-mixtures:

Certain turfgrass species or varieties may be sensitive to

tank-mixtures of herbicides with other pesticides and/or

liquid fertilizers. If local experience is not available, then a

small area of the turfgrass in question should be treated with

the tank-mixture and observed for injury during 30 days of

normal growing conditions to determine if the treatment is

safe before making widespread applications to the target

species/variety.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce the risk of

forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to

remove. Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse

application equipment and flush hoses, booms and nozzles

with clean water. Clean all other associated application

equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when

cleaning equipment. Do not clean equipment near wells,

water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste

rinse water in accordance with local regulations.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

When herbicides that affect the same physiological site of

action are used repeatedly over several years to control the

same weed species in the same location, naturally-occurring

resistant biotypes may survive a properly applied herbicide

treatment, propagate, and become predominant in that

location. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes

cannot be expected from herbicides that target the same site

of action. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be

necessary to retreat the problem area using a product that

affects a different site of action. To manage herbicide resistance, it may be necessary to tank-mix this product and/or

make sequential applications with herbicides that have a

different site of action. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor for regionally

specific information regarding herbicide resistance management.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest

Management (IPM) program that can include biological,

cultural, chemical and genetic practices aimed at preventing

economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices

include field scouting or other detection methods, correct

target pest identification, population monitoring, and

treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your local DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor to determine

appropriate action threshold levels for specific weeds in

your area.
