How To Use This Information
1) On the county map, find the specific shading pattern(s)
in or near the area where you intend to apply pesticides.
2) Read the descriptor under the Shading Key for the
pattern(s) to identify the specific area involved.
3) In the "Table of Pesticide Active Ingredients," locate the
active ingredient in the pesticide you intend to apply.
4) Locate the code to the right of the active ingredient name
and under the shading pattern(s) that apply to you.
5) When using the pesticide, find the code(s) described
under "Limitations on Pesticide Use" and follow the
limitation given.
6) If you are applying more than one listed active ingredient
or applying a listed active ingredient in an area with
more than one shading pattern (species), multiple codes
may apply. If so, you should follow the most restrictive
limitation.
7) Read the information on Reducing Runoff and Drift in
this pamphlet.

63 Do not apply this pesticide within the shaded
area shown on the map, within 1000 feei of the

rice field which drains into the shaded area, do
not flood the field for 3 days after the ap alication.
Once flooded, allow 7 days to pass until 'the field

Reducing Runoff and Drift
Careful use of pesticides can diminish harm to the environment and reduce exposure of endangered and threatened species
to pesticides. Using pesticide runoff and drift measures may be helpful in keeping more of the applied pesticide OB the
field and may also lower your costs of pesticides.
Wherfpossible, use methods whichreduce soil erosion, such as limited till and contour plowing; these methods also
reduce pesticide runoff.
Where feasible, use application techniques such as T banding and in-furrow techniques, which incorporate me pesticide
into the soil.
Pesticides with ground water warning labels are more likely to enter ground and surface water than fhose without mch
warnings. When possible, use a pesticide that does not contain a ground water warning label.
Keep Informed about changing weather conditions, and try to avoid pesticide application when heavy rainf all is ejected.
Wmd direction, speed, and evaporation are important factors in reducing drift. Most importantly, pesticides shoul. 1 be
applied when the wind direction is away from areas of concern; try to avoid applicationduring; periods of^gh wuds.
Avoiding applications during the hottest part of the day, when evaporation is highest, will furtoer reduce drift
When high winds and excessive evaporation are not present, a drift retardant may be useful for aerial applications.
Using the largest droplet size compatible with the pesticide coverage will reduce drift. Typically, higher spray vol umes
will also result la less drift.
