|
||||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% herbicide is a water-dispersible granule used at a rate %-1% ounces per acre for
|
||||
selective postemergence grass weed control in field corn grown for seed or grain, popcorn and sweet
|
||||
corn.
|
||||
Do not make more than two applications of NICOSULFURON 75% per cropping season. The combined
|
||||
dosage of sequential applications cannot exceed 1 % ounces per acre of NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
WHEN TO APPLY
|
||||
NORMAL PLANNED USE
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be used on field corn, high lysine, waxy, white or other food grade corn
|
||||
hybrids.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be broadcast to corn up to 20" tall (free standing) or that is exhibiting up to
|
||||
and including 6 leaf collars (V6), whichever is more restrictive.
|
||||
While NICOSULFURON 75% has a wide application window, research has shown best results are
|
||||
obtained when applications are made early postemergence when corn and weeds are small. Target
|
||||
applications to corn that is less than 12" tall for best overall performance.
|
||||
Timing to Weeds
|
||||
Apply NICOSULFURON 75% when grasses are young and actively growing, but before they exceed the
|
||||
sizes indicated in Table 1. Treat heavy infestations of weeds before they become too competitive with the
|
||||
crop, especially where soil moisture and/or fertility are limited. NICOSULFURON 75% provides weed
|
||||
control via foliar absorption. NICOSULFURON 75% only controls those weeqs that have emerged. For
|
||||
later-emerging weeds, a second application or a timely cultivation is required. Applications made to
|
||||
weeds larger than the size indicated on this label or to weeds under stress may result in unsatisfactory
|
||||
control. Refer to LATE OR RESCUE APPLICATIONS.
|
||||
LATE OR RESCUE APPLICATIONS
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be applied to field corn as a rescue treatment for the control of escaped
|
||||
grasses, or as a directed postemergence application on corn that is taller than 20" or which has more
|
||||
than 6 collars (whichever occurs first).
|
||||
• For corn 20" to 36" tall, apply NICOSULFURON 75% with drop nozzles only and avoid spraying into
|
||||
the whorl of cornstalks.
|
||||
• Do not apply to corn that is taller than 36" or that exhibits 10 or more collars (V10), whichever is most
|
||||
restrictive.
|
||||
Applications made to weeds larger than those listed on this label may vary from complete control to
|
||||
suppression. Level of control will depend on the weed species, stage of growth, and environmental
|
||||
conditions.
|
||||
Due to the unplanned nature of rescue applications, choices must be made between the risks that arise
|
||||
from applications made beyond the proper time for NICOSULFURON 75% use, and the effects of season
|
||||
long grass competition and/or harvest complications. These choices must balance risks from improperly
|
||||
timed NICOSULFURON 75% use that include, but are not limited to:
|
||||
• Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates competition from foxtail exceeding 4 inches in
|
||||
height may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and other annual grasses that exceed the sizes
|
||||
stated on the label increases the risk of yield losses due to prolonged competition with the crop even
|
||||
though control may be acceptable.
|
||||
• Incomplete control of grasses beyond labeled size: Applications to grasses that exceed the labeled
|
||||
sizes can result in reduced control. This incomplete control may reduce corn yield.
|
||||
• Incomplete grass control due to herbicide stress: Grasses under stress from previous herbicide
|
||||
applications may not be actively growing and susceptible to NICOSULFURON 75%. This stress may
|
||||
reduce grass control in "rescue" situations.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
•
|
||||
i
|
||||
Ear malformation: l-PPlications of NICOSULFURON 75% on cor~ u lat has 7 to 10 collars (V7 to
|
||||
V10) increases the potential for ear malformation (pinching). This risk may be greatly reduced, but
|
||||
not eliminated, by using drop nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply NICOSULFURON 75%
|
||||
into the corn whorl.
|
||||
RATE
|
||||
Optimum control of the weeds listed can be achieved with % ounces of NICOSULFURON 75%. Weeds
|
||||
that exceed the listed weed sizes by up to 50% may be partially controlled with rates between % and 1 ~
|
||||
ounces of NICOSULFURON 75% per acre.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be applied at %-% ounces for limited control of certain small grass weeds.
|
||||
See Table 2, under ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS for details.
|
||||
As weeds mature, their sensitivity to NICOSULFURON 75% decreases. As grassy weeds become mature
|
||||
(more than 3 tillers), they may not reach the size listed below, due to drought or other environmental
|
||||
factors. Grassy weeds that are maturing rapidly should be treated before they reach the stages listed
|
||||
below.
|
||||
When applied as directed, NICOSULFURON 75%® will control the following weeds:

seed that is less than 20" tall (free-standing) or that exhibits up to and including 5 leaf-collars (V5),
|
||||
whichever is most restrictive. Do not apply to corn that is taller than 20" or that exhibits more than 5 leaf
|
||||
collars (V5), whichever is more restrictive.
|
||||
Many seed companies have tested seed corn inbreds or yellow popcorn hybrids for sensitivity to
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% and have reported excellent safety. Do not apply NICOSULFURON 75% to any
|
||||
white popcorn inbred, or white popcorn hybrid unless specifically approved by the seed company. This
|
||||
includes 'White Dynamite" popcorn.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be applied to certain sweet corn hybrids grown for fresh markets or under
|
||||
contract for processing. Applications of NICOSULFURON 75% may be applied broadcast or with drop
|
||||
nozzles (post-directed) on sweet corn up to 12 inches tall or up to and including 5 leaf-collars (V5). For
|
||||
sweet corn 12-18 inches tall, apply only with drop nozzles. Do not apply to sweet corn taller than 18
|
||||
inches or those which exhibit 6 or more leaf-collars (V6), and make only one application of
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% per year.
|
||||
Sweet corn hybrid sensitivity to NICOSULFURON 75% is highly variable, and not all hybrids have been
|
||||
tested for crop tolerance. Contact your local dealer for information on local sweet corn hybrids that have
|
||||
been evaluated with NICOSULFURON 75%.

SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||||
Applications of NICOSULFURON 75% must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant.
|
||||
In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix
|
||||
partner labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvant system
|
||||
for activity on difficult to control species such as woolly cupgrass, quackgrass, sandbur and wirestem
|
||||
muhly. Consult local dealer fact sheets; technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other
|
||||
adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with NICOSULFURON 75%, select adjuvants
|
||||
authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR
|
||||
1001 ).
|
||||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||||
• Aplyat 1 % v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions. MSO adjuvants
|
||||
may be used at 0.5% v/v if specified on local dealer product literature or service policies.
|
||||
• MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallons per 100 gallons spray solution) if specifically
|
||||
noted on adjuvant product labeling.
|
||||
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed
|
||||
oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers. .
|
||||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||||
• Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.

|
||||
balance (HLB) greater than 12.
|
||||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||||
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2
|
||||
pounds/acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre UAN or 4 pounds/acre
|
||||
AMS under arid conditions.
|
||||
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
|
||||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||||
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS,
|
||||
COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and
|
||||
restrictions.
|
||||
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the

same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by Winfield Solutions. Consult separate
|
||||
technical bulletins for detailed information before using adjuvant types not specified on this label.
|
||||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
1 . Fill the tank % to ~ full of water.
|
||||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
3. Continue agitation until the NICOSULFURON 75% is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||||
4. Once the NICOSULFURON 75% is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with
|
||||
water. Thoroughly mix NICOSULFURON 75% with water before adding any other material.
|
||||
5. As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, non ionic surfactant, or
|
||||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer).
|
||||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate
|
||||
before using.
|
||||
7. Apply NICOSULFURON75°/~ spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||||
8. If NICOSULFURON 75% and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix.
|
||||
partner from interfering with the dissolution of the NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF
|
||||
PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed
|
||||
control program in corn following a reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide.
|
||||
Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence grass herbicide prior to corn emergence and then follow with a
|
||||
postemergence application of NICOSULFURON 75%. Apply products such as DuPont CINCH®, CINCH®
|
||||

For Additional Control of Later Emerging Grasses
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of preemergence grass herbicides
|
||||
labeled for early postemergence application to field corn (such as DuPontTM CINCH®, CINCH® ATZ,
|
||||
"Prowl", "Surpass" EC, "Dual" II Magnum, or "Outlook") for residual activity on later-emerging flushes of
|
||||
grass. Application must be made before the grass emerges and before other grass weeds on the
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% label exceed their labeled sizes.
|
||||
I~
|
||||
The use of nonionic surfactant is recommended in place of crop oil concentrate for tank mixtures with
|
||||
preemergence grass herbicides where applications are made early postemergence to small grass weeds.
|
||||
See SPRAY ADJUVANTS for adjuvant rate recommendations.
|
||||
When tank mixing NICOSULFURON 75% with.EC formulated preemergence grass herbicides such as
|
||||
Dl!PoritTM CINCH®, "Dual II Magnum", or "Prowl", do not add "Callisto" herbicide to the tank mixture.
|
||||
When other formulations of preemergence grass herbicides are tank mixed with NICOSULFURON 75% +
|
||||
"Callisto" (such as CINCH ®ATZ or "Bicep II Magnum"), limit preemergence herbicide rates to % times full
|
||||
rates, always add non ionic surfactant in place of crop oil concentrate, and limit broadleaf weed sizes to
|
||||
less than or equal to 4% tall.
|
||||
When tank mixing NICOSULFURON 75% with "Lumax" or "Lexar" herbicide, limit "Lumax" rates to no
|
||||
more than 2 pints and "Lexar" rates to no more than 2% pints/acre, always add nonionic surfactant in
|
||||
place of crop oil concentrate, omit adjuvants containing ammonium nitrogen fertilizer, and limit
|
||||
applications to corn up to 5" tall.
|
||||
Tank mixes of NICOSULFURON 75% and preemergence grass herbicides must be broadcast applied
|
||||
postemergence to field corn before the crop exceeds the heights listed on the preemergence grass
|
||||
herbicide label. Refer to WHEN TO APPL Y-POSTEMERGENCE and the preemergence grass herbicide
|
||||
label for complete postemergence application information, rates, and restrictions.
|
||||
Tank Mixtures with Insecticides
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be tank mixed with pyrethroid or carbamate insecticides such as DuPontTM
|
||||
ASANA® XL or DuPont™ LANNATE® insecticides. See Soil Insecticide Interaction section for
|
||||
information on use of NICOSULFURON 75% following soil insecticides application.
|
||||
Other Tank Mixtures
|
||||
Other than the exceptions noted, and in addition to the tank mix partners and rates indicated above,
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be tank mixed or followed with sequential applications of other products
|
||||
registered for use in field corn. Applications of full or reduced rates of other products registered for use in
|
||||
corn provided:
|
||||
• The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use
|
||||
restrictions as NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
• The tank mixture is not specifically prohibited on the label of the tank mix product.
|
||||
• The tank mix combination is compatible as determined by a "jar test" described in the TANK MIX
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING section below.
|
||||
Weed control and crop response with tank mixtures not specifically recommended in this label are the
|
||||
responsibility of the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product.
|

|
||||
(
|
||||
Tank Mixing Precautions:
|
||||
A corn plant's predisposition to develop fused tissue emerging from the whorl (rattail) after the V-11 stage
|
||||
may increase when a product containing dicamba (i.e., "Clarity," "Marksman" is applied to small corn
|
||||
under early stressful conditions. Be aware of this when applying tank mixes with dicamba to small corn
|
||||
(V-3 stage or smaller) under stressful conditions. See ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS for a description
|
||||
of these stressful conditions.
|
||||
To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply the products indicated below at least seven days before or
|
||||
three days after the application of NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
• Do not tank mix NICOSULFURON 75% with "Basagran" and "Laddok" or severe crop injury may
|
||||
occur.
|
||||
• Do not tank mix NICOSULFURON 75% with 2,4-D-containing products as.severe grass control
|
||||
antagonism may occur.
|
||||
• Do not tank mix NICOSULFURON 75% with foliar-applied organophosphate insecticides such as
|
||||
"Lorsban," malathion, parathion, etc., as severe crop injury may occur.
|
||||
Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix NICOSULFURON 75% with other products that
|
||||
contain the same active ingredients as NICOSULFURON 75% (nicosulfuron) unless the label of either
|
||||
tank mix partner specifies the maximum rate that maybe used.
|
||||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of NICOSULFURON 75% and other·
|
||||
pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jarwith lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative
|
||||
proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately
|
||||
one-half hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates,
|
||||
it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not bused.
|
||||
SEQUENTIAL NICOSULFURON 75% APPLICATIONS
|
||||
Annual grasses may have more than one flush of emerging seedlings. Also, regrowth of treated annual
|
||||
grasses may occur due to adverse environmental conditions following application. Perennial grasses may
|
||||
regrow from underground stems or roots, depending upon environmental conditions. To control grasses
|
||||
under these conditions, a sequential application of NICOSULFURON 75% may be necessary. The
|
||||
combined dosage of the sequential applications cannot exceed 1 % ounces per acre of NICOSULFURON
|
||||
75%.
|
||||
CULTIVATION
|
||||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, or weeds that emerge after an
|
||||
application of NICOSULFURON 75%.
|
||||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7-14 days after NICOSULFURON 75% application or upon seeing the
|
||||
establishment of new weeds.
|
||||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% provides best results when applied to young, actively growing weeds.
|
||||
Applications made during warm, moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture both before
|
||||
and after application maximizes performance.
|
||||
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing
|
||||
conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% is rainfast in 4 hours.
|
||||
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that are under stress may result in incomplete
|
||||
control. Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under stress from:
|
||||
• abnormally hot or cold weather
|
||||
• environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
|
||||
• disease, insect, or nematode injury
|
||||
• prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year's herbicide application
|
||||
11
|
||||
|
||||
I .
|
||||
( (
|
||||
Severe stress from conditions preceding or immediately following apphl.ation may also result in crop injury
|
||||
or poor weed control. Stress affects all weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass, green and
|
||||
yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet.
|
||||
If the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until stress passes and both weeds and
|
||||
corn resume active growth.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds, reducing weed competition within
|
||||
as little as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21 days.
|
||||
SOIL INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION
|
||||
Before using NICOSULFURON 75%, ensure that it is compatible with any insecticides previously applied
|
||||
to the corn crop.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop
|
||||
response varies with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% may be applied to corn previously treated with "Fortress," "Aztec," or "Force"
|
||||
insecticides or non~organophosphate (OP) soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||||
• DO NOT APPLY NICOSULFURON 75% to corn previously treated with "Counter" 15G or to corn
|
||||
treated with "Counter" 20CR infurrow or over the row at cultivation.
|
||||
• Applications of NICOSULFURON 75% to corn previously treated with "Counter" 20 CR, "Lorsban," or
|
||||
''Thimet'' may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
|
||||
CROP ROTATION
|
||||
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of NICOSULFURON 75% remaining in the
|
||||
soil. NICOSULFURON 75% dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||||
The amount of NICOSULFURON 75% which may be present in the soil depends on application rate, soil
|
||||
pH and organic matter content, elapsed time since application, crop production practices, and
|
||||
environmental factors.
|
||||
Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry weather prevails between application and
|
||||
rotational crop planting. Consult your local dealer for additional guidelines.
|
||||
Soil pH should be determined by laboratory analysis using the 1:1 soil:water suspension method on
|
||||
representative soil samples taken at 0-4" depth. Soil pH varies within fields; therefore, recropping should
|
||||
be based on the highest soil pH within each field. Consult local extension publications for recommended
|
||||
soil sampling procedures.
|
||||

|
||||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||||
Many crops are highly sensitive to NICOSULFURON 75%. All direct or indirect contact (such as spray
|
||||
drift) with crops other than field corn should be avoided (see also SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT).
|
||||
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens
|
||||
Do not apply NICOSULFURON 75% through any type of irrigation system.
|
||||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||||
Broadcast Application
|
||||
• Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (15 GPA) for best performance. Use a minimum of 10
|
||||
gallons of water per acre (GPA) for light, scattered stands of weeds.
|
||||
• For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets; for example,
|
||||
as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogues and in accordance with ASAE Standard S572.
|
||||
Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray volume is
|
||||
increased to maintain coverage on small weeds. For optimal product performance and minimal spray
|
||||
drift, adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height recommended in manufacturers'
|
||||
specifications.
|
||||
• Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into
|
||||
the corn plant whorl. This is most likely to occur when a nozzle is positioned directly above the row.
|
||||
• Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||||
Band Application
|
||||
For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture, and carefully calibrate the band applicator
|
||||
to not exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for nozzle type (flat fans),
|
||||
orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
|
||||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||||
In New York state and California aerial application is not permitted.
|
||||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage
|
||||
at a minimum of 3 GPA.
|
||||
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor
|
||||
coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
|
||||
SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
|
||||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75% and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application
|
||||
equipment before applying NICOSULFURON 75%. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label
|
||||
of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows.

|
||||
Note:
|
||||
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying NICOSULFURON 75%, read and follow label
|
||||
directions for proper rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
|
||||
• Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
|
||||
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of
|
||||
NICOSULFURON 75%, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush
|
||||
the boom and hoses, and allow to sit overnight.
|
||||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with
|
||||
clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
|
||||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia (containing 3%
|
||||
active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning
|
||||
solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow
|
||||
to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
|
||||
solution, then drain the tank.
|
||||
3. Repeat Step 2.
|
||||
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent
|
||||
and water.
|
||||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min., flushing the water through the
|
||||
hoses and boom.
|
||||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.
|
||||
The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best
|
||||
drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
|
||||
The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect
|
||||
how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. 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 sections of this label. .
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
|
||||
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
|
||||
higher rated flows produce larger droplets. .
|
||||
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
|
||||
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE
|
||||
NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||||
• 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.
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||||
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide
|
||||
uniform coverage ..
|
||||
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the
|
||||
airstream, will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||||
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented
|
||||
straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||||
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed % of the wing or rotor length - longer booms
|
||||
increase drift potential.
|
||||
• Application Height - Application more than 10ft. above the canopy increases the potential for
|
||||
spray drift. .
|
||||
15
|
||||
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified), which provides uniform coverage, reduces the
|
||||
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
|
||||
the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
WIND
|
||||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10
|
||||
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any
|
||||
given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||||
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 hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
|
||||
reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
|
||||
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
|
||||
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature 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 movementof smoke from a ground source or
|
||||
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.
|
||||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility
|
||||
of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of
|
||||
the product.
|
||||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (I PM) program that can include
|
||||
biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and
|
||||
practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||||
monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult
|
||||
your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to
|
||||
determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your
|
||||
area.
|
||||
RESISTANCE
|
||||
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
|
||||
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
|
||||
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of
|
||||
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary
|
||||
to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
|
||||
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of
|
||||
herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between
|
||||
crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential
|
||||
herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
|
||||
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
|
||||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information
|
||||
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator,
|
||||
and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural
|
||||
practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.
