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

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 on the field and may also lower your costs of pesticides.
Runoff
Where possible, use methods which reduce 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
the pesticide into the soil.
Pesticides with ground water warning labels are more likely to enter ground and surface water than those
without such warnings. When possible, use a pesticide that does not contain a ground wate^warning label.
Keep informed about changing weather conditions, and try to avoid pesticide application when heavy
rainfall is expected.
Drift
Wind direction, speed, and evaporation are important factors in reducing drift. Most importantly,
pesticides should be applied when the wind direction is away from areas of concern; try to avoid applica-
tion during periods of high winds. Avoiding applications during the hottest part of the day, when evapora-
tion is highest, will further 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 volumes will also result in less drift.
