| Special Instructions: |
Areas spot treated with Diquat should not be used for 1 day for drinking water, livestock and domestic animal watering or irrigation of non-food crops and 5 days for food crops. There are no restrictions for Glyphosate treated areas except for a 48-hour waiting period within 0.5 mile of an active potable water intake (drinking water). |
