Tools Needed

Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 can be applied with a handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, ground rig, or by aircraft. Sprayers must have screens no finer than 50 mesh in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, you will need to measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For acreage, take your square footage and divide it by one acre (square footage / 43,560 sq. ft. = acre). For seedling and established alfalfa, apply 4.6 pints of Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 per 5-10 gallons of water per acre for weeds up to 1 inch in height. Use 4.6 to 6.8 pints of product per acre for weeds up to 3 inches in height in seedling and established alfalfa. For peanuts, apply 0.9 to 1.1 pints of product per 5-10 gallons of water per acre. For pre-plant through premergence control of weeds in soybeans, use 0.8 to 1.0 pint of product plus 0.5% V/V non-ionic surfactant per 5-10 gallons of water per acre. For post-emergence broadcast (over the top) of weeds in soybeans, apply 0.8 to 1.0 pint of product per 5-10 gallons of water per acre.
• Step 2: Fill the sprayer tank with half the amount of clean water, add measured amount of Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175. Then add the remaining half of clean water and shake until the solution is thoroughly mixed. If tank-mixing with wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable or dry flowable products, add the powder or flowable product first.
• Step 3: Spray the Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 mixture at least 4 feet above the crop canopy. Wait until 7 to 10 days have passed after application before watering treated areas with irrigation or rainfall. If necessary than a second application may be made, refer to the label for specific reapplication rates for your treatment area.

Where to Use

Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 can be used in alfalfa, peanuts, and soybeans.

Do not use in or near a greenhouse.

Do not apply this product directly to or otherwise permit it to come in contact with Cotton, Flowers, Fruit trees, Grapes, Okra, Tomatoes, Vegetables or other desirable crop or ornamental plants.

When to Use

Apply Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 when the temperature does not exceed 90°F and/or is predicted to exceed 90°F during the three days following application.

This product can be applied when seedling and established alfalfa have weeds between 1 to 3 inches high. For peanuts, this product can be applied when 2 to 12 weeks after planting. When this time has passed you can then spray for small actively growing weeds.

For pre-emergent control in soybeans, this product can be applied before planting or before crop emergence. For post-emergent directed band applications in soybeans, it may be used when they are 8 or more inches tall. For over the top post-emergent broadcast application to soybeans, apply from 7 to 10 days before bloom up to mid-bloom when soybeans are about knee-high and growing actively. Soybean foliage should be dark green indicating that nodulation and nitrification are under way.

Do not apply when crops are stressed from moisture or when rainfall is predicted for up to 7-10 days after application.

Safety Information

Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175 is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Do not feed/graze Soybean forage or harvest hay for 60 days following any Drexel 2,4-DB DMA 175.

Do not graze established Alfalfa or feed straw or hay from established Alfalfa to meat or dairy livestock within 30 days after application of this product. Nor graze or feed seedling Alfalfa to meat or dairy livestock within 60 days after application.

Keep people and pets out of treated areas until 48 hours have passed after application.

Special Considerations

A non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% V/V may improve weed control in seedling Alfalfa grown in dry, low humidity areas only. The surfactant may cause some twisting of stems and malformation of leaves. This response is usually outgrown under most conditions.
