Application Information
• Water Volume: 40 to 91 L per acre for weedy growth and up to 809 L per acre applied to the point of run-off for woody
species. See the label for details.
• Nozzles and Pressure: 30 to 40 psi (200 to 275 kPa) when using conventional flat fan nozzles. Low drift nozzles may
require higher pressures for proper performance. Use a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver
thorough, even coverage with ASABE coarse droplets.
How it Works:
Refer to Table 9 on page 48.
Effects of Growing Conditions:
DO NOT apply during periods of intense rainfall or to soil saturated with water. Warm, moist conditions following treatment
enhance the activity of Escort, while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Brush hardened off by cold weather
and drought stress may not be controlled.
