* 2-ethylhexyl ester is considered one of three isooctyl esters. Studies and/or records relating to 2-EHE may be listed under two additional chemical numbers:

• 030064 2,4-D Isooctyl Ester (2-ethyl-4-methylpentyl);
• 030065 2,4-D Isooctyl Ester (2-octyl);

 ** May be listed as: 2,4-D Butoxyethanol Ester (same number - 030053)

The Master Label is based on data submitted for reregistration of 2,4-D:

• Residue: Metabolism, RACs, processed commodities, meat/milk, fish / shellfish
• Environmental fate laboratory studies: Analytes
• Field dissipation: Terrestrial, aquatic, forestry
• Rates / use patterns refined by extensive testing
• Industry Task Force, companies, commodity groups, IR-4 supported uses

The Master Label includes:

• Bounds of use patterns
• Forms of 2,4-D supported
• Timing / crop growth stage limitations
• Maximum rates: per use / seasonal
• Minimum intervals between applications
• Preharvest / pregrazing intervals
• Most Section 18 / 24(c) use patterns

The Master Label does not include:

• EPA precautionary label statements
• Worker Protection Standard information other than typical REIs
• Complete recommendations and limitations related to efficacy, plant varieties, etc.
• Ranges of rates, mixing directions, weed lists, etc. as per actual labels
• Comprehensive equipment details
• A very few Section 24(c) use parameters

Differences from Present Labels:

• Esters are not supported for use on rice, sugarcane or aquatic non-crop areas (except BEE)
• Reduced rate in residential turf from 2.0 to 1.5 lbs a.e./acre
• Reduced preharvest rate on small grains
• Only one of preplant or preemergence application on corn; seasonal maximum
• 30-day treatment interval and seasonal maximum rate for pasture / rangeland
• Reduced rate and seasonal maximum in forestry
• Reduced rate and seasonal maximum in non-crop
• Clarification of replanting in treated areas
• Soybean grazing / feeding restriction removed
• Dairy and slaughter animal grazing restrictions removed
• Aquatic APPLICATION RATEs as PPM concentration rather than pounds per surface acre.
• Added aquatic use restrictions for potable water (drinking water) and swimming.
• Added new use, hops.
• High volume and low volume application instruction for non-crop use site.
• Added drift language
• Applications of granular formulation are allowed on corn, sorghum, grass grown for seed or sod, turf, cranberries, non-crop land and aquatic use sites.
• All end use labels will contain “General Instructions” that all banding applications will be an “adjusted band”, e.g.:

Example label wording for band treatment: If only bands or rows are treated, leaving middles untreated, the dosage [and spray volume (if applicable)] per crop acre is [are] reduced proportionately. For example, treating a 12-inch band where the row spacing is 36 inches would require 1/3 of the recommended broadcast rate per acre (12 inches divided by 36 inches = 1/3).
