+
+WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
+CADET Herbicide, referred to below as “Cadet’, contains the active ingredient fluthiacet-methyl, a Group 14 
+herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. 
+ 
+Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant 
+to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of 
+multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations 
+and/or other cultural practices. 
+ 
+Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection 
+for resistance. 
+ 
+The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance 
+management program. 
+ 
+To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should: 
+• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and 
+weed sizes present. 
+• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. 
+• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches). 
+• Apply full rates of Cadet for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed 
+size) to minimize weed escapes. 
+• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species. 
+• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively. 
+• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC 
+representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. 
+• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds 
+to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use 
+the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are 
+multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed. 
+• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 
+and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed 
+production. 
+• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators: 
+• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially 
+if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; 
+• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and 
+• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. 
+ 
+Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is 
+practical: 
+• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control 
+program. 
+• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action. 
+• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides. 
+• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover 
+crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program. 
+• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
+
+• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant 
+weeds. 
+• Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production. 
+ 
+DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
+It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all Directions for 
+Use carefully before applying. 
+DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only 
+protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, 
+consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 
+FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN 
+POOR WEED CONTROL, POOR COTTON DEFOLIATION, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. 
+ 
+AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
+Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 
+170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, 
+and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, 
+decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions 
+pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry 
+interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker 
+Protection Standard. 
+ 
+DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 
+hours. 
+ 
+PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that 
+involves contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil, or water, is: 
+• Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants 
+• Socks and chemical resistant footwear 
+• Wear goggles or face shield 
+• Chemical resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥ 14 mils. 
+ 
+ 
+PRODUCT INFORMATION 
+FOR HERBICIDE USE IN CORN AND SOYBEANS 
+Cadet is a preplant burndown and postemergence herbicide for control of velvetleaf and other broadleaf weeds in 
+soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn (includes field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn grown for seed). 
+Cadet can be applied as a preplant burndown treatment alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizer before 
+planting corn or soybeans or can be applied after emergence of the crop and broadleaf weeds. There is a wide 
+application timing window for preplant and postemergence use in soybean and corn. For preplant and 
+postemergence use in soybean the application window ranges from preplant to the full flowering stage. For 
+preplant and postemergence use in corn, the application window ranges from preplant until the corn is 48 inches 
+tall or prior to tasseling, whichever comes first. Refer to Table 2 for a list of the broadleaf weeds controlled. 
+ 
+Cadet will control velvetleaf up to 36 inches tall. Cadet will also control or partially control certain other annual 
+broadleaf weeds. Partial control means significant activity but not always at a level generally considered 
+acceptable for commercial weed control. When tank mixed, Cadet may enhance the performance of other 
+herbicides in the control of certain broadleaf weeds (see Table 2). Cadet does not control grasses. Therefore, if 
+grasses are present at the time of application, Cadet should be mixed with an appropriate postemergence 
+herbicide registered for grass control.
+
+The amount of Cadet to apply and the degree of weed control resulting from a Cadet application depend upon a 
+variety of factors including weeds present, stage of growth of the weeds, environmental conditions, and growing 
+conditions. Weeds under stress because of lack of moisture, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, may 
+not be controlled as well as actively growing weeds. Weed death or inhibition can be expected quickly – normally 
+within 48 hours after application. 
+ 
+To be effective, Cadet must contact the weed foliage. Thorough coverage with the spray solution gives the most 
+effective weed control. A large crop and/or weed canopy as well as a dense crop and/or weed canopy can 
+prevent the spray from reaching smaller weeds resulting in reduced control of these smaller weeds. 
+ 
+Soybean and corn are tolerant of Cadet when applied according to label directions. Some bronzing, crinkling, or 
+spotting of crop leaves may occur. Soybean and corn rapidly outgrow these effects and develop normally with no 
+reduction in yield. 
+ 
+Grazing/Feeding and Harvesting Restrictions 
+• DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage or hay to livestock. 
+• DO NOT harvest or feed corn grain or stover (fodder) until 70 days after the last application of Cadet. 
+• DO NOT harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application of Cadet. 
+• DO NOT harvest or feed sweet corn forage or ears until 40 days after the last application of Cadet. 
+ 
+Proper Handling Instructions 
+This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage 
+wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. 
+This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious 
+pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas. 
+ 
+Operations that involve mixing, loading rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or 
+application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious 
+pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. 
+Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or 
+equipment rinse or wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to 
+either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate 
+material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of 
+the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient 
+size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 
+100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment 
+capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment 
+capacities DO NOT apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may 
+have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. 
+ 
+DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
+ 
+DO NOT use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product. 
+ 
+This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of 
+excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
+
+MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS 
+Spray Additives 
+An adjuvant or a product containing an adjuvant approved for use on growing crops is required with Cadet for 
+maximum consistent performance. 
+1. Adjuvants for Cadet Alone 
+Use a spray adjuvant from one of these classes for optimum performance: 
+Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) – must have a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as spray adjuvant at the 
+rate of 1 quart/100 gallons of spray volume (concentration of 0.25%). 
+Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) – petroleum or vegetable-based containing not less than 12% emulsifier at 1-2 
+pts./A. The concentration should not exceed 2.5% volume/volume. COC is recommended under conditions of dry 
+soil and low relative humidity. 
+Silicone-based surfactant – apply at a rate of 1 qt/100 gallons or a spray volume concentration of 0.25% or as 
+specified on the adjuvant label. 
+In addition to an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 
+recommended use rates may also be added to the spray solution. 
+DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution. 
+ 
+2. Adjuvants for Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
+When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix partner. Follow 
+all restrictions and precautions on the tank mix partner’s label. 
+Compatibility Test 
+A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure Cadet compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The 
+following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate 
+changes in the ingredient rates. 
+ 
+1. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of water and the 
+other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all 
+components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used for the actual application. 
+2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is 
+equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
+3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them 
+separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the 
+appropriate amount of any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to 
+thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows: 
+ 
+Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar. 
+ 
+Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to 
+each jar. 
+ 
+4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures 
+stand 15-30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or 
+other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by 
+comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed 
+as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving 
+compatibility. 
+a. Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or 
+b. Add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable 
+pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, DO NOT use the mixture. 
+ 
+After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and Disposal 
+section of this label.
+
+How to Mix 
+1. The spray equipment must be clean before using this product. If it is contaminated with other materials, 
+mixing problems and/or clogging may occur or crop injury may occur. 
+2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application, and DO NOT let the spray 
+mixture stand in the spray tank overnight. 
+3. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. 
+4. Water-soluble packets must always be the first material put into the spray tank after water. Water-soluble 
+packets must be completely dissolved and dispersed in clean water only before any other tank mix 
+partners; including adjuvants, micronutrients, or other fertilizers are added to the spray solution. Boron, 
+especially in the form of a micronutrient additive may prevent water-soluble packets from dissolving. 
+5. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly after each use and apply rinsate to a previously-treated area. 
+ 
+Mixing Cadet Alone 
+1. Add 1/4-1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
+2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of Cadet to the spray tank. Continue agitation in the 
+spray tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse. 
+3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water. 
+4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 
+ 
+Mixing Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
+Cadet is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. BEFORE 
+MIXING CADET WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL 
+OF THE TANK MIX PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR THE USE ON THE TARGET CROP AND 
+THAT USE PATTERNS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF CADET. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to 
+ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. When using Cadet in a tank mixture with other 
+pesticides, users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product 
+in the tank mixture. 
+ 
+Tank Mixing Steps 
+1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
+2. With the agitator running, drop the required number of packets of any products packaged in water-soluble 
+packets into the tank all at once. Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow the packets to completely 
+dissolve and the contents of the packets to fully and uniformly disperse. 
+3. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry 
+formulation tank mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse. 
+4. Add the required amount of Cadet to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has 
+completely and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them 
+to completely and uniformly disperse. 
+5. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water. 
+6. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure surface 
+action until the mixture is uniform. 
+7. To avoid product degradation, apply the Cadet spray mixture within 48 hours of mixing, and DO NOT leave 
+the spray mixture in the tank without continuous agitation. 
+8. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any 
+tank mix partner labels.
+
+APPLICATION INFORMATION 
+Chemigation 
+DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
+ 
+Aerial Application 
+Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. 
+Take care to ensure that the application does not drift to non-target areas. 
+ 
+Ground Application 
+Apply Cadet in a minimum of 15 gallons of water/A. If a dense crop and/or weed canopy is present, use up to 40 
+gallons of water per acre and 50-70 psi pressure at the nozzles. 
+ 
+Note: When using higher nozzle pressures, use extreme caution to avoid spray drift to nearby crops. 
+ 
+Use a pump with enough capacity to maintain a rippling or rolling action in the spray tank. For a uniform spray 
+mixture, agitation during mixing and application is required. Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the 
+appropriate nozzles and screens and adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the 
+appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Thorough 
+coverage is essential for control of susceptible broadleaf weeds. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground 
+speeds while starting, stopping, or turning while spraying may result in excessive application and subsequent crop 
+response. 
+ 
+To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Cadet applications must be drained and thoroughly 
+cleaned with water plus ammonia before being used to apply other products. See Cleaning Spray Equipment 
+section of this label 
+ 
+Avoid all direct, and/or indirect spray contact with non-target plants DO NOT apply near desirable 
+vegetation. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure. DO NOT 
+apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area of treatment.

+ 
+APPLICATION TIMING 
+Weed Stage of Growth 
+Apply Cadet after weeds have emerged and are actively growing, but before the weeds have reached the 
+maximum height listed in Table 2. Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control 
+could result in commercially unacceptable weed control. 
+ 
+Avoid applying Cadet if weeds cannot be evenly covered with the spray or when spray drift is possible. To reduce 
+spray drift, DO NOT apply if wind speed is 10 mph or greater. Avoid overlapping the spray pattern since this may 
+increase chances for crop injury. 
+ 
+Soybean Stage of Growth 
+Cadet may be applied to soybeans from preplant through the full flowering stage (R2) of development. To avoid 
+possible illegal residues, the last application should be made no later than 60 days before harvest. This product 
+requires a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 60 days. 
+ 
+Field Corn, Sweet Corn, and Popcorn Stages of Growth 
+Cadet may be applied to corn from preplant to 48 inches tall, but before tasseling.
+
+CULTIVATION 
+DO NOT cultivate within 2 days before or 2 days after applying this product. 
+ 
+APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS 
+1. DO NOT apply more than 1.25 fl oz/A/A of Cadet (0.0089 lb ai/A/A fluthiacet-methyl)per year. 
+2. DO NOT apply Cadet when crop foliage is wet due to heavy dew, rain, or irrigation moisture. 
+3. DO NOT apply if crop is under severe stress due to drought, cold weather, hail, flooding, water-logged or 
+compacted soil, disease, insect damage, nutrient deficiency (especially low nitrogen levels), or other 
+causes. 
+4. Cadet can be applied in tank mixtures to weeds taller than the maximum heights listed in Table 2 provided 
+the application follows all timing and rate precautions on the tank mix partner’s label. 
+5. Application to weeds that are under severe stress due to drought or to weeds that are taller than the 
+optimum heights listed in Table 2 may result in reduced weed control. 
+6. DO NOT irrigate within 4 hours of application of Cadet. Rainfall or irrigation may wash Cadet off of the 
+weeds during this period and reduce performance. 
+7. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixture with Cadet. 
+8. DO NOT let spray solution stand overnight in sprayer or shuttle tanks. Make up only the amount of Cadet 
+spray solution that will be applied in a given period of time. See Cleaning Spray Equipment. 
+ 
+WEEDS CONTROLLED 
+1. Cadet Alone 
+At the rates and timings listed, Cadet controls the weeds listed in Table 2 when the product is applied alone after 
+emergence of soybean, field corn, sweet corn, or popcorn, and weeds. Cadet only controls certain broadleaf 
+weeds after they emerge and does not provide residual control of weeds that emerge later. Weeds larger than the 
+size indicated in Table 2 may only be partially controlled.

+2. Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Postemergence Herbicides to Improve Broadleaf Weed Control 
+Cadet may be applied post emergence with glufosinate or glyphosate-based products, or other postemergence 
+broadleaf herbicides approved for use on soybeans and corn. Tank mixing Cadet with other postemergence 
+herbicides may increase the speed of activity and provide control of the weeds listed in Table 2 Cadet may be 
+tank-mixed with other insecticides and fungicides. Some populations of weeds may be tolerant or resistant to 
+glyphosate based herbicides. Applying Cadet in a tank-mix with glyphosate on resistant weeds larger than 
+specified in Table 2 may result in unsatisfactory control. Other herbicides in tank-mix with Cadet or separately 
+may be required to achieve adequate control of these resistant biotypes. 
+Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved label for each product in the tank mixture. 
+ 
+3. Cadet in Tank Mixtures for Grass Weed Control 
+Cadet does not provide grass control, but it can be tank mixed with any postemergence grass herbicide registered 
+for control of grasses in soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, or popcorn. The tank mixture will provide control / partial 
+control of the weeds listed in Table 2 and the grasses listed on the tank mix partner’s label. See Table 1 for use 
+rates in mixture with a grass control herbicide. 
+Mixtures with other herbicides or insecticides may increase crop response over that expected with Cadet alone. 
+Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved label for each product in the tank mixture. 
+ 
+4. Cadet Preplant Burndown Application Prior to Emergence 
+Apply Cadet at 0.5 – 0.9 fl oz/A/A (0.0035 - 0.0063 lb ai/A ai/A fluthiacet-methyl)with other registered preplant 
+burndown herbicides or preemergence herbicides in water or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down treatment to control 
+or suppress weeds prior to emergence of corn and prior to cracking in soybeans. Optimum broad spectrum 
+control of annual and perennial weeds requires tank mix burndown herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, 
+paraquat, 2,4-D, etc. Coverage is essential for good control. For optimum performance make applications to 
+actively growing weeds. Always use the most restrictive label language when applied in a tank mix. When Cadet 
+Herbicide is used as a preplant burndown treatment DO NOT exceed 0.9 fl oz/A/A (0.0063 lb ai/A fluthiacet-
+methyl) per application and the maximum of 1.25 fl oz/A (0.0089 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year. 
+ 
+When applied as directed, Cadet plus labeled herbicides will provide increased speed of activity and 
+improved control of weeds listed below Table 3.

+
+MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
+Ground Boom Applications: 
+x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the 
+ground or crop canopy. 
+x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators must select nozzle and 
+pressure that deliver coarse or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & 
+Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572). 
+x For all other applications, applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
+droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE 
+S572). 
+x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
+x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 
+ 
+Aerial Applications: 
+x DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater 
+application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
+x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators must select nozzle and 
+pressure that deliver coarse or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & 
+Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641). 
+x For all other applications, applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
+droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 
+(ASABE S641). 
+x The boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor 
+diameter for helicopters. 
+x Applicators must use a minimum of one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the 
+field. 
+x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. 
+x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
+x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 
+ 
+ 
+SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES 
+THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. 
+BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. 
+ 
+IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 
+An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest 
+control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are 
+made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 
+Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom 
+x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the 
+highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a 
+nozzle with a higher flow rate. 
+x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume 
+and droplet size. 
+x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles 
+designed to reduce drift. 
+Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft 
+x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to 
+reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. 
+ 
+BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom 
+Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For 
+ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 
+ 
+RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft 
+Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
+
+SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
+Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the 
+shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. 
+ 
+TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
+When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. 
+ 
+TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
+Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 
+temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of 
+an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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. 
+Avoid applications during temperature inversions. 
+ 
+WIND 
+Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND 
+CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. 
+ 
+HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS: 
+x Take precautions to minimize spray drift 
+ 
+DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES 
+Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, 
+read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an 
+additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly 
+with a viscous spray solution. 
+Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology 
+(CPDA). 
+ 
+CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
+The sprayer must be cleaned before and after use of Cadet. Many pesticides are very active at low rates, 
+especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles 
+can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after spraying Cadet and before 
+using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using 
+the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for 
+any other products mixed with Cadet as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be 
+achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application. Failure to clean sprayer may result 
+in unsatisfactory results with Cadet or injury to other crops sprayed with the equipment. 
+1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove 
+physical sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly 
+flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and 
+all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2. 
+2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) 
+per 100 gallons of clean water or 1 gallon/100 gallons of Valent Tank Cleaner. Prepare sufficient cleaning 
+solution to allow the operation of th e spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, 
+spray boom and spray nozzles. 
+3. Shut down sprayer and keep sprayer system charged with ammonia solution or Valent Tank Cleaner solution 
+left in the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage. 
+4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush 
+through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all 
+filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution. 
+5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations 
+and guidelines.
+
+DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops. 
+DO NOT store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with Cadet spray solution remaining in the 
+tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers. 
+If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning any 
+application. 
+Should small quantities of Cadet remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they 
+may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. 
+FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment. 
+When Cadet has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously or tank mixed with Cadet for 
+cleaning instructions. 
+ 
+REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
+If soybeans or corn treated with Cadet is lost due to a natural catastrophe such as hail or frost, soybeans or corn 
+can be replanted immediately, provided this is not restricted on the label of a product used previously or by a 
+product applied in a tank mixture with Cadet. 
+For control of weeds in the replanted crop, Cadet may be applied postemergence a second time but the total 
+amount of Cadet applied must not exceed 1.25 fl oz/A (0.0089 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year. 
+ 
+ROTATIONAL CROPS 
+Any crop may be planted following soybeans or corn treated with Cadet alone. There are no crop restrictions. 
+NOTE: For rotational crop restrictions when Cadet is used in tank mixtures or sequentially with other products, 
+refer to the rotation intervals on the other product label for possible additional restrictions.
