General Information Crossbow® specialty herbicide is recommended for control of most species of unwanted woody plants, as well as annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, growing on rangeland, permanent grass pastures, CRP, fence rows, non-irrigation ditchbanks, roadsides, other non-crop areas, and industrial sites. General Use Precautions and Restrictions For use on plants in non-crop and non-timber areas only.
PAGE 6
Foliar sprays should be applied during warm weather when brush and weeds are actively growing. Application under drought conditions may provide less than desirable results. Use low spray pressures to minimize spray drift. Apply Crossbow in a manner to avoid contacting nearby susceptible crops or other desirable plants and to avoid contaminating water intended for irrigation or domestic use. Read and follow all use precautions given on this label. Do not use on bentgrass.
PAGE 7
Grazing and Haying Restrictions Except for lactating dairy animals, there are no grazing restrictions following application of this product. Grazing Lactating Dairy Animals: Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze treated areas until the next growing season following application of this product. Do not harvest hay for 14 days after application. Grazed areas of non-cropland and forestry sites may be spot treated if they comprise no more than 10% of the total grazable area.
PAGE 8
With aerial applications, use a drift control system such as Microfoil or Thru-Valve booms, or use Nalco-Trol or Arborchem 38-F drift control additive or equivalent. Keep spray pressures low enough to provide coarse spray droplets. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoil or the Thru-Valve booms, or other systems that cannot accommodate thick sprays. Spray Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the grower.
PAGE 9
Temperature Inversions If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. Susceptible Plants Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption.
PAGE 10
Ground Boom Application Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. 2,4-D esters may volatilize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Mixing Directions Crossbow in water forms an emulsion (not a solution), and separation may occur unless the spray mixture is agitated continuously. Water Spray: Fill the spray tank about half full with clean water.
PAGE 11
• Maximum Application Rate: Apply no more than 1 gallon (1 lb ae triclopyr + 2 lb ae 2,4-D) per acre per growing season on range and pasture sites, including rights of way, fence rows or any area where grazing or harvesting is allowed. • Use 2 gallons or more of spray solution per acre. • Do not make more than one application per year. • Do not apply within 30 days of previous application. • If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural Use Requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are applicable.

High Volume Foliar Applications Through Handguns Using a power or hand pressured spray gun, apply a foliar wetting spray containing 1 to 1 1/2 gallons of this product in sufficient water to make 100 gallons of total spray mix. See mixing chart under Mixing Directions for preparing small amounts of this 1 to 1.5% spray mix. Spray to give thorough coverage of the foliage, wetting all leaves and green stems to the drip point.
PAGE 17
reducing systems may be utilized if they control spray drift as well as Nalco-Trol or the above mentioned booms. 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 or Thru-Valve booms or other systems that cannot accommodate thick sprays. Dormant Stem Applications To control susceptible woody species such as multiflora rose and blackberry, mix 1 to 4 gallons of this product in diesel oil, No. 1 or No.
PAGE 18
Thinline Basal Applications For the control of small multiflora rose, apply a horizontal thin line of undiluted herbicide across all the stems at a height where the stems are less than 1/2 inch in diameter and have thinner bark to penetrate. For bushes with large numbers of stems (over 3 or 4), coverage may be difficult. Basal bark or dormant stem applications may be more effective. Treat when the bark is dry and rain is not forecasted.
