field is resistant and it will not be controlled by this product alone.

Escort: 8 - 12 g + 2, 4-D: 790 mL + Agral 90,
Ag-Surf or Citowett: 0.2% v/v of spray solution
Apply as a full coverage spray to foliage and stems
using equipment that will assure uniform coverage.
How to Apply
:
With: Ground equipment. Do not apply by air.
Water volume
: 40 - 90
L/acre.
Application Tips
Add surfactant when tank mixing. Apply as a full coverage spray to foliage and stems using equipment that will
assure uniform coverage. Use spray preparation within 48 hours or product degradation may occur. If spray
preparation is left standing without agitation, thoroughly agitate before spraying. Avoid overspray or drift to non-
target species and aquatic and wildlife habitats.
How it Works
Absorbed by foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected Results
Escort rapidly stops growth of susceptible species; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) may not be
noticeable for several weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm,
moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of Escort while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay
activity. Brush and weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Degree of control
and duration of effect are dependent on the rate used, sensitivity and size of target species, as well as soil moisture
and soil temperature.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
No rain-free period is specified on the label.
Grazing
:
Cattle may graze the treated areas on the day of treatment.
