GENERAL INFORMATION
Achieve SC Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the selective control
of wild oats, volunteer tame oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail, annual (Italian) ryegrass,
and Persian darnel in all wheat and barley varieties. Perennial grasses such as
quackgrass will not be controlled. Although susceptible grass weeds treated with
Achieve SC Herbicide cease growth soon after application, complete die-back of the
weeds could take up to 4 weeks.
Achieve SC Herbicide does not control broad leaf weeds; however, several broad leaf
weed herbicides can be tank mixed with Achieve SC Herbicide to provide broad
spectrum weed control in cereals (see appropriate section of label for this information).
Achieve SC Herbicide is not affected by rain falling one hour or more after application.
INFORMATION ON WEED RESISTANCE
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain grass species with resistance to this herbicide
and related products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant
biotypes through repeated use of these herbicides may result in control failures. If
poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper .
application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional
treatments with this herbicide or related products is not recommended. Consult your
local Syngenta Crop Protection representative or agricultural advisor for assistance.
Do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide on spring wheat in Minnesota, East of Highway 281
in North Dakota, or in South Dakota. In addition, do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide in
the following counties in North Dakota: Dickey, LaMoure, Stutsman, Foster, Eddy,
Ramsey, and Towner. Use of Achieve SC Herbicide in these areas may result in crop
injury to spring wheat. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., will not be liable for injury to
s rin wheat if Achieve SC Herbicide is used in these areas.
•
-7-
•
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
Achieve SC Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for use in wheat and barley. Do
not use in tame oat crops. Avoid drift onto tame oat and corn crops. Tillered cereal
crops may incur injury if applications are made within 48 hours of freezing
temperatures. Nontillering cereal crops which are exposed to temperatures of less than
40°F up to 48 hours either before or after application, may incur injury. Unacceptable
crop injury could also occur when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied to crops under stress
due to high temperatures, drought, excess soil moisture, foliar diseases, insect
damage, or lack of fertility.
When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged
cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the grasses are not actively
growing. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur when application is made under
prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of
Achieve SC Herbicide is delayed until the stress conditions have ended and weeds are
once again actively growing.
Do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide to crops or weeds that have heavy dew cover.
Tank mixing Achieve SC Herbicide with amine formulations of labeled herbicides or any
other herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution, or adjuvant not recommended
on this label or other Syngenta labeling may result in poor grass control and/or
unacceptable crop injury.
Crop injury may occur with registered tank mixes under extreme weather conditions or
when the crop is suffering from stress due to inadequate or abnormally high moisture
levels, extreme temperature, or from spray overlaps.
Weed control can be reduced when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied to fields which
received a soil residual sulfonylurea herbicide treatment the previous year.
Unacceptable weed control may be obtained when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied
with spray equipment containing residual spray solution or other spray residues from a
previous sulfonylurea herbicide application. Ensure such sprayers are thoroughly
cleaned before adding Achieve SC Herbicide to the spray tank.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Flood or sprinkler irrigation can cause subsequent germination of wild oats and other
grass weeds. For optimum weed control in· irrigated crops, apply Achieve SC Herbicide
after irrigation when new weed germination is complete. .

Always add Supercharge® Adjuvant to the spray solution at a rate of 4 pts.l100 gals. of
water (0.5% v/v). Use of incorrect Supercharge rates or alternative adjuvants may
result in unacceptable weed control or crop injury.
In addition, always add ammonium sulfate to the spray solution at a rate of 7-15
Ibs.l100 gals. when spray water contains more than 400 ppm bicarbonate ions. Only
use granular or liquid ammonium sulfate formulations which do not contain additional
wetters or surfactants. Water from deep wells is more likely to require addition of
ammonium sulfate compared to surface water sources. Addition of ammonium sulfate
can also provide enhanced weed control under low moisture or high temperature stress
conditions as well as when tank mixing with broad leaf weed herbicides.
Note: Refer to the Mixing Procedures section for the correct order of addition of spray
additives.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Achieve SC Herbicide may be applied by either ground sprayers or by aerial
application.
Ground: Apply in a spray volume of 10-15 gals.lA. Use the higher end of water
volume range when grass foliage is dense. Apply at a pressure of 30-40 psi to ensure
proper dispersion, spraying characteristics, and performance of Achieve SC Herbicide.
13
2r
•
-10-
•
Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110° are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use
floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment. Ensure that all in-line
strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Screens of 80
mesh size or finer should not be used.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped
for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend
the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. Achieve SC Herbicide
must be sprayed within the same day of mixing.
Aerial: Apply in a spray volume of 3-5 gals'/A. When grass foliage is dense, use the
higher end of water volume range. Use sufficient spray water volume to ensure
complete dispersion of Achieve SC Herbicide in the spray tank when mixing and during
application. When making aerial applications, care should be taken to avoid drift to
crops other than wheat or barley. Avoid drift to nontarget areas. Do not spray when
conditions are favorable for drift or when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph.
When spraying is completed and prior to using other products, ensure the spray system
is thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining Achieve SC Herbicide
residues. Using a pressure washer and the addition of a detergent or a nonionic
surfactant to the rinse water will enhance removal of residues.
SPRAY DRIFT
Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow
this product to drift onto nontarget areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to
adjacent crops and vegetation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially when wind
speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of
larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE APPLICATOR AND GROWER.
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential
for spray drift. The applicator and grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target
movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do
not apply to forestry applications, public health uses, or to applications using dry
formulations.
The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of
the wingspan.or rotor.

021
•
-11-
•
Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed
downwards more than 45°.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in
the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory.
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY
(This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label
requirements. )
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage
and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For
many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform
coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so 'that the spray is released parallel to the
airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended
practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase
drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With
most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using
low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest
droplets and the lowest drift.
Boom Length
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the
wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift'without reducing swath width.

••
Application Height
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the
target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications
at the lowest height that issafe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath wifl be displaced downwind.
Therefore, on the up and downWind edges of the field, the applicator should
compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath
adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller
drops, etc).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed.
Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high
inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger
droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when
conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is
high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature
inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common
on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun.
sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground
fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of
smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and .
moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates; indicates good
vertical air mixing.

Sensitive Areas
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive
areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or
endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from
the sensitive areas).
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
