Label Information
Refer to Crop Data Management System's website for label information.

MoDOT herbicides for 2017 and following years are listed below. You may have additional products not listed from previous years. More detailed information can be gathered from the manufacturer and the label.

Go to http://www.cdms.net/LabelsMsds/LMDefault.aspx for label information.

Additives and Adjuvants – MoDOT has two surfactants on the bid list and two options for each. One of the options is for the surfactant to be certified by an independent testing group offering proven results. The other is a cheaper product, but buyers beware! Surfactants do not have the same registration, restrictions and label requirements as pesticides.

One surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant that helps get the herbicide into the plant. The two non-ionic surfactants are Induce (certified) and NIS (non-certified). The other surfactant is a water conditioner to address hard water conditions in parts of the state that affect some herbicides. The two water conditioners are Quest (certified) and Elite Imperial (non-certified).

A higher rate can be used for control of cedar and other brush species. The higher rate will kill or damage turf. It is off of patent so there are generics on the market but it appears the XP formulation makes this product go into and stay in solution better than some others.

It is the liquid formulation of one of the two products in Perspective.
