Postemergence when weeds are small
and actively growing. Apply with ground equipment in minimum of

| Unique Characteristics |
Milestone has no grazing restriction
on livestock or lactating dairy animals grazing in treated areas.
Allow 3 days of grazing on untreated pasture or untreated hay
before transferring livestock to areas were sensitive broadleaf
crops may be grown. Do not move manure compost containing Milestone
onto sensitive crops, flowers, gardens, etc. Use only on well
established forage grasses (secondary root development). Milestone
Herbicide will kill legume plants (including alfalfa and clover
in tame pastures). Use adequate buffer zones from sensitive crops
and do not allow product spray to drift off site onto sensitive
crops. Do not plant legumes crops on treated land for 48 months
after application. Clean spray equipment throughly after use,
before using spray equipment for other applications to sensitive
crops. Milestone Herbicide cannot be applied on domestic or commercial
turf grass. Rainfast period is 2 hours. |
