Product Information
Dog Fight™ provides burndown and residual control of many broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans, CClearfield® corn, and RRoundup Ready® alfalfa.
Dog Fight may be applied postemergence to RRoundup Ready soybeans and RRoundup Ready alfalfa for season-long weed control. DDog Fight is effective
for difficult-to-control weeds common to no-till production, including marestail.
Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yellowing of crop plants may occur following an D
Dog Fight application. These effects occur
infrequently and are usually temporary.
Dog Fight
is a mixture of two active ingredients: imazethapyr and glyphosate, which inhibit acetolactate synthase/acetohydroxyacid synth ase (ALS/AHAS)
and 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), respectively.
Weed populations may contain plants naturally resistant to various herbicide modes of action. Weed populations have been identi fied that are resistant to
ALS/AHAS and/or EPSPS herbicides. Naturally occurring biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or
other products with either the ALS/AHAS and/or EPSPS modes of action. If resistant bio-types occur in the field, incorporate additional control methods for
effective weed control such as additional approved herbicides with alternate modes of action or mechanical means.
Application Information
Postemergence
Dog Fight applied postemergence is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage as well as in conventional production systems. Apply DDog Fight
to crops and weeds that are actively growing; base application timing on weed size and not crop growth stage.
A nonionic surfactant A
AND a nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray solution for optimum weed control. Apply NIS at 0.125% v/v of spray
solution AAND AMS at 2.5 lbs/A. See MMixing Instructions for directions.
When D
Dog Fight is applied postemergence, absorption will occur through both the roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds stop growing and either die or are
not competitive with the crop. DDog Fight not only controls many existing broadleaf and grass weeds when applied postemergence, it also provides control
of susceptible weeds that may emerge after application.
For maximum weed control where cultivation is possible, cultivate 7 to 10 days following a postemergence D
Dog Fight application to enhance residual weed
control, especially under dry conditions.
Apply D
Dog Fight a minimum of 1 hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation.
4
Unusually cool temperatures (50 °F or less) reduce photosynthesis and transpiration and, thus, reduce uptake, translocation, an d weed control efficacy of
Dog Fight.
If air temperature has been below 50 °F for 10 or more hours, delay D Dog Fight application for 48 hours after the temperature increases above 50 °F to
improve weed control and reduce crop response.
Mixing Instructions
Burndown or postemergence applications of DDog Fight require the addition of a surfactant AAND fertilizer.
Surfactant
Use a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient. Apply the surfactant at 1 pint per 100 gallons of spray mixture (0.125% volume/volume
of the spray mixture). Use only surfactants approved for application to growing crops.
AND
Fertilizer
Include a fertilizer in the spray solution. Add spray grade ammonium sulfate at 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solut ion. Use the higher rate
when weeds are under moisture or temperature stress.
Mixing Order
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2. Agitation - Maintain continuous and constant agitation throughout.
3. Fertilizer
4. Dog Fight - Mix thoroughly.
5. Surfactant
6. Remaining quantity of water
Application Instructions
DO NOT apply when winds are gusty, under low-level inversion conditions or under other conditions that favor drift. Maintain appropri ate buffer zones
between treated fields and adjacent desirable vegetation. Exposed leaves or other green tissue may be damaged or killed by drif t from DDog Fight. Severe
injury or plant death may result if DDog Fight contacts foliage of desirable plants. To prevent injury to desirable plants and crops, DDO NOT allow spray drift
to occur.
DO NOT allow the herbicide solution to drift onto desirable vegetation. Very small amounts of drift may cause injury or death to desi rable crops or plants.
The likelihood of injury from use of this product increases when winds are gusty. The risk of injury from this product increase s when wind direction is
constantly changing or during inversion conditions or other weather conditions that favor drift. Do not make applications using high spray pressure and
high speed. These contribute to conditions that favor small spray droplets and drift.
When D
Dog Fight is used in combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of application, proper timing, weeds
controlled, restrictions and precautions. Always use in accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions and precautions . DDO NOT exceed label
dosages. DDO NOT mix DDog Fight with any product containing a label prohibiting such mixtures.
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, drain spray equipment used for DDog Fight applications and thoroughly clean with water before applying other products.
Drift Control Additives
Drift control additives may be included in either ground or aerial applications. When a drift control agent is used, read and c arefully observe the
precautionary statements and all other information appearing on the additive label.
Ground Application
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10.0 or more gallons of water per acre. Use a spray pressure of 20 to 40 psi.
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20.0 gallons of water per acre when applying D
Dog Fight to minimum or no-till crops. Use higher
gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues. Adjust the boom height to ensure proper coverage of weed fol iage (according to the
manufacturer’s recommendation). Use only flat-fan nozzle tips for postemergence applications.
Avoid overlaps when spraying.
5
Low-volume Spray Application
Dog Fight may be applied with a low-volume sprayer. When applying D Dog Fight with a low-volume sprayer, spray the weeds before they reach the
maximum size listed in this label. Weed control is dependent upon good spray coverage of the weeds. The sprayer must be calibra ted to deliver the
specified spray volume and pressure to ensure adequate spray coverage of the weeds.
When applying D
Dog Fight with a low-volume sprayer, apply a minimum of 10.0 gallons per acre of spray solution with a nozzle pressure between 40 to 60
psi for optimum coverage. Lower nozzle pressure will minimize the potential for drift to desirable vegetation.
Aerial Application
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment in 5.0 or more gallons of water per acre.
When applied p
postemergence, the addition of a nonionic surfactant A AND fertilizer solution are required for optimum weed control. Apply nonionic
surfactant (NIS) at 0.125%volume to volume (v/v) of spray solution A AND ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 2.5 pounds per acre. See P Postemergence
instructions in AApplication Information section.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors
determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agr icultural field crops. These
requirements D
DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses, or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees.
Observe more stringent state regulations, if applicable.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the aerial drift reduction advisory information presented below.
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 ar e made improperly or under
unfavorable environmental conditions (ssee Wind; Temperature and Humidity; and TTemperature Inversions).
Controlling droplet size:
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
x 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.
x Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
x Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is
recommended practice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
x 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 d rift without reducing swath
width.
Application Height
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.
Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the
applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing
drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
6
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 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 v ertical air mixing, which
causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the l ight, variable winds
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on n ights 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 u pward 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 o f water, known habitat for
threatened or endangered species, or nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which results from spraying D
Dog Fight in a manner other than specified in this label. In addition,
applicator must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances in regard to spraying.
Soybeans
DO NOT apply Dog Fight postemergence to non-Roundup Ready soybeans.
North Dakota and north of Highway
#210 in Minnesota only. Apply DDog Fight at 2.25 pints per acre.
One gallon of DDog Fight will treat 3.6 acres at this rate. DDO NOT exceed 2.25 pints per acre per season.
Burndown Weed Control Prior to Soybean Emergence
(no-till and stale seedbed)
Apply DDog Fight at 3.0 pints per acre for burndown of weeds in no-till soybeans. D Dog Fight may be applied prior to planting or preemergence of any
soybean variety (including RRoundup Ready or non-RRoundup Ready soybeans). Add 2,4-D to the spray tank for enhanced control of perennial weeds
including horseweed/marestail and hemp dogbane. Tank mix with SSharpen® herbicide or VVerdict™ herbicide prior to soybean planting/emergence to
enhance the burndown speed and increase weed spectrum including glyphosate-resistant horseweed.
For season-long grass control and enhanced waterhemp control, apply P
Prowl® H2O herbicide prior to planting soybeans. A postemergence application of
Dog Fight will control any escaped weeds and provide season-long control of most broadleaf and grass weeds. Apply D Dog Fight postemergence only to
Roundup Ready soybean. Postemergence applications of DDog Fight to non-RRoundup Ready soybean will kill the soybean.
When mixing D
Dog Fight with 2,4-D or PProwl H2O, always use in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. DDO NOT exceed
label rates. DDO NOT mix DDog Fight with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
When organophosphate (such as chlorpyrifos) or carbamate insecticides are tank mixed with D
Dog Fight, temporary injury may result to the treated crop.
In-crop Postemergence Weed Control in Roundup Ready Soybeans
Dog Fight
may be applied for postemergence weed control in RRoundup Ready soybeans. Apply DDog Fight for general weed burndown and season-long
control of broadleaf and grass weeds.
To minimize weed competition, apply DDog Fight at 3.0 pints per acre to weeds 1 to 8 inches high. One gallon of DDog Fight will treat 2.7 acres of soybeans
at this rate.
7
Fall Applications in a Planned Sequential Program
Apply DDog Fight at 3.0 pints per acre after fall harvest and prior to ground freeze in the winter. Fall applications of D Dog Fight will control existing weeds
and provide residual control of winter annual weeds and early spring germinating weeds in soybeans. Soybeans must be planted in the spring following the
fall application of DDog Fight. If weeds emerge in season, other registered soybean products may be applied postemergence for weed control.
NOTE: For fall applications of DDog Fight, base the rotational crop intervals on the date of soybean planting, not the date of herbicide application.
No-till/Minimum Tillage and Double Crop Soybeans
Apply DDog Fight at 3.0 pints per acre. DDog Fight controls existing weeds and provides residual control of most weeds when applied early postemergence
to RRoundup Ready soybeans in no-till or minimum tillage and double crop soybean production systems. Apply DDog Fight before or after crop emergence.
Only RRoundup Ready soybeans can be treated after crop emergence. Refer to the WWeeds Controlled chart for weeds controlled and specific weed size.
Tank mix P
Prowl H2O with DDog Fight for burndown weed control to provide season-long control of grass weeds and enhance control of waterhemp.
Tank mix SSharpen or VVerdict to enhance burndown speed and increase weed spectrum including glyphosate-resistant horseweed.
For improved burndown weed control, D
Dog Fight may be tank mixed with 2,4-D. Refer to the 2,4-D label for application rates and intervals between
application and planting.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended us e. Users must follow the most
restrictive directions and precautionary language of the products in the mixture (for example, first aid from one product, spra y drift management from
another).

8
x DO NOT apply more than 3.0 pints per acre of DDog Fight to RRoundup Ready alfalfa during the last year of the stand.
Seedling Roundup Ready Alfalfa
Dog Fight must be applied postemergence to seedling R Roundup Ready alfalfa. Apply DDog Fight when the seedling RRoundup Ready alfalfa is in the
second trifoliate stage or larger and when the majority of the weeds are 1 to 3 inches. For low growing weeds (such as mustards ), apply DDog Fight before
the rosette exceeds 3 inches.
Because of the biology and breeding constraints of alfalfa, up to 10% of the seedlings may not contain a R
Roundup Ready gene and will not survive or
thrive after the first application of DDog Fight. To limit undesirable effects of stand gaps created by the loss of plants not containing a R Roundup Ready
gene, apply a single DDog Fight application of at least 3.0 pints per acre at or before the 3 to 4 trifoliate growth stage.
Established Roundup Ready Alfalfa
Dog Fight can be applied to established RRoundup Ready alfalfa in the fall, in the spring to dormant or semi-dormant RRoundup Ready alfalfa (less than 3
inches of regrowth), or between cuttings. For weed control between alfalfa cuttings, apply DDog Fight following RRoundup Ready alfalfa cutting and removal
of the hay from the field. Make any application before significant RRoundup Ready alfalfa growth or regrowth (3 inches) to allow DDog Fight to reach target
weeds.
Replanting
If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with DDog Fight, DDO NOT plant alfalfa for 4 months following an DDog Fight application.
Roundup Ready Alfalfa Restrictions
x DO NOT apply DDog Fight at more than 3.0 pints per acre in North Dakota or Minnesota north of Highway #210.
x DO NOT apply more than 3.0 pints per acre of DDog Fight to RRoundup Ready alfalfa during the last year of the stand.
x Maximum Seasonal Use Rate - A maximum of 0.094 lb ae/A of imazethapyr (4.4 pints per acre of D Dog Fight) per year may be applied to R Roundup
Ready alfalfa.
x Preharvest Interval (PHI) - DDO NOT feed, graze, or harvest RRoundup Ready alfalfa for 30 days following an application of D Dog Fight to RRoundup
Ready alfalfa.

All crops not listed elsewhere in the RRotational Crop Restrictions*
*Following forty months after a DDog Fight application, and before planting any crop not listed elsewhere in the RRotational Crop Restrictions, a successful
field bioassay must be completed.
The field bioassay consists of a test strip of the intended rotational crop planted across the previously treated field and grown to maturity.
The test strip should include low areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no crop injury is ev ident in the test strip, the
intended rotational crop may be planted the following year.
Sugar beet production can be reduced when grown in soil conditions with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to planting rotational
crops not listed in the R
Rotational Crop Restrictions, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop.
Use of DDog Fight in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, va rious
environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, ther efore, rotational crop injury
is always possible.
Exceptions To Rotational Crop Restrictions
Barley
(Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia only)

PRODUCTS, INC. has not been given access to the inbred data.
Growers are directed to contact the seed company for information and recommendations regarding planting corn grown for seed in fields treated with D
Dog
Fight the previous year. Since growing conditions, environmental conditions and grower practices are beyond the control of LOVELAND PRODUCTS, INC.,
to the extent consistent with applicable law, AALL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTING SEED CORN INBREDS INTO FIELDS
TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH Dog Fight SHALL BE ASSUMED BY THE USER.
