GENERAL INFORMATION PUMA® Ultra Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for the control of green and yellow foxtail (pigeongrass), volunteer and wild millet species, barnyardgrass and wild oat in wheat (including durum wheat) and barley. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not use this product until you have read the entire label. 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. 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 24 hours. For early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, wear: coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants; socks and chemical resistant footwear. Wear goggles or face shield, and chemical resistant gloves (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or barrier laminate). APPLICATION INFORMATION Application Information DO NOT apply when winds are gusty, or when conditions will favor movement of spray particles off the desired spray target. To avoid drift and ensure consistent weed control, apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide with the spray boom as low as possible while maintaining a uniform spray pattern. t ' c c c- c c c Application Methods to c c c o Ground Application: Ten (10) gallons of spray solution per acre is recommended. Under conditions wtee.rc ilarge grass weeds or dense weed populations are present or adverse environmental conditions exist, a greater spray volume'pf 1fe -l;20 gallons of spray solution per acre is required for best weed control. A minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution may only be us^ed under conditions that are ideal for weed control and wild oat populations are low. Use a recommended spray pressure of 40 psi with flafr-faeicrvpzzle ti|j&" sp'a'oGd 10 to 20 inches apart across the boom. A ground speed of 10 mph or less is suggested. To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles to provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets. DO NOT apply with hollow cone type nozzles or other nozzles thatcproduce s Vine dfiplet spray. • c c c c c c c c c Aerial Application: Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. PUMA Ultra Herbicide should be applied in ^minirnum of 5 gallons of water per broadcast acre. To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles to provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets. DO tNj5T use raindrop nozzles. Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with low drift r c nozzles at a pressure of 40 psi or a pressure recommended by the manufacturer of the nozzles used. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. Application Timing Wheat Apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to 60 days prior to harvesting wheat in the states of Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide on wheat within 70 days of harvest in other states. Barley Apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to the 5-leaf stage. Do not spray barley after jointing begins. Apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide up to 57 days of harvesting barley. To avoid potential cereal grain injury, PUMA Ultra Herbicide should not be applied 2 days prior to or after freezing temperatures. Avoid applications for 2 days following abrasive winds or hail. Weed Application Timing PUMA Ultra Herbicide has no effect via the soil and will only control emerged grass weeds. Herbicide performance can be negatively impacted by environmental conditions, weed populations and tank mix partners. Applications should be made to young, vigorously growing weeds. PUMA Ultra Herbicide will control susceptible grass weeds in the 1-leaf (fully expanded) to 2-tiller stage of growth. Blackgrass can be controlled over a wide range of growth stages, from the 1-leaf (fully expanded) through the advanced tillering stage. Windgrass will be controlled from emergence to a height of 3 inches. The following conditions will result in optimum wild oat control: 1. Adequate soil moisture which occurs under normal rainfall in wheat or barley following a fallow year. 2. Temperatures lower than 85° F for several days prior to application. Low soil moisture levels, low humidity, and high temperatures prior, during or following application may reduce wild oat and foxtail control provided by PUMA Ultra Herbicide. Foxtail under drought stress will exhibit rolled leaves ("onion leaf) and should not be sprayed as poor control may result. Apply PUMA Ultra Herbicide when conditions improve. PUMA Ultra Herbicide, when applied as recommended, controls the annual grass weeds listed in Table 1 below at rates indicated.
