growers are not prohibited from rotating to seed corn in the growing season following 
an application of "565 11 , Dow AgroSciences will not accept responsibility for any crop 
injury on field corn grown for seed following an application of '''565 11 • 
Transplanted tobacco may be planted 10 months after application of 0.3 oz/acre of 
\\565 11 • Tobacco in seedbed nurseries may be planted 18 months after application of 
0.3 oz/acre of "565" and following a successful field bioassay. A rotation interval 
of 30 months and a successful field bioassay is required for all applications of 
"565 11 greater than 0.3 oz/acre. 
Note: Rotation to sugar beets, sunflowers, and all other crops requires a 30 month 
rotation interval and a successful field bioassay. 
Field Bioassay Instructions: Using typical tillage, seeding practices, and timings for the 
particular crop, plant several strips of the desired crop variety across the field 
previously treated with "565". Plant the strips perpendicular to the direction "565" was 
applied. The strips should also be located so that different field conditions are 
encountered, including differences in soil texture, pH, and drainage. If the ~rop does 
not show visible symptoms of injury, stand reduction, or yield reduction, the field can be 
seeded with the test crop. If visible injury or stand reduction occurs, the test crop 
should not be seeded, and the bioassay must be repeated the next growing season.

SOIL ~ POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Apply with ground equipment using a standard low pressure (20 to 40 psi) herbicide sprayer 
equipped with nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Use sufficient spray volume to 
provide uniform coverage. A spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons per acre is recommended for 
either soil or postemergence applications. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and 
spraying to ensure a uniform spray mixture. Screens in spray lines and nozzles should be 
no finer than 50 mesh (100 mesh is finer tha~ 50 mesh). 
SPRAY PREPARATION 
TO calculate the total number of water soluble packets required for your spray mix: 
1. Determine the number of acres to be treated. 
2. Divide the number of aCres to be treatec by the acres/packet value that corresponds 
to the desired rate.< See rate tables for broadcast application rates an~ 
corresponding acres per packet. 
Note: If the calculated number of packets does not equal a whole number (e.g., 13.5 
packets), round up to the next whole number (i.e., 14 packets).

4. After water soluble packets of "565" ha::e completely dissolved 
(approximately 5 minutes), add ncn-ioni: surfactants or other adjuvant 
materials. 
5. Before spraying, make sure that ',:ater soluble packets have completely 
disintegrated and product is thoroughly mixed with the spray carrier. 
Depending on the water temperature and the degree of agitation, the packet a~d 
its contents should be completely dispersed within 5 minutes after being added 
to the spray tank. 
6. Continue agitation while filling the spray tank to the required volume. 
7. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, continuous agitation is required durlng 
application. rf product is allowed to settle, thoroughly agitate to resuspend 
the mixture before spraying. Apply within 24 hours of mixing. Weed contlol

Pre-mixing (Slurry) of Water Soluble Packets: The film used in water soluble 
packaging for "565 11 is not soluble in liquid fertilizer solutions. In order to add

Riverdale 565 Selective Herbicide 
• 
"565" to liquid fertilizer carrier, the product must be premixed with water to form 
a slurry. Pre-mixing can also be used as an alternative mixing method for 
application in water. Use a minimum of 1 quart of water for up to five water 
soluble packets of "565". The packets can be stirred immediately on ~ddition to 
water or allowed to dissolve. Stir (or shake if pre-mixed in a closed container) 
until the packets are completely dissolved and granules are dispersed and then add 
to the spray tank through a 20-35 mesh screen. Rinse container used for pre-mixing 
and add rinsate to spray tank. 
Pre-mixing (other products): I~ pre-mixing is required for other dry or flowable 
products applied in tank· mix cofQbination with "565 11 , folIo'''' recommendations for 
pre-mixing of such products provided in their respective product labels.

Tank Mixing Precautions: 
Page 7 
.10/11-
Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions. pre=autions, and limitations 
on the respective product labels. 
Do not exceed recommended application rates fo::- ~espective pr:=:·ducts or maxirnur· 
allowable application rates for any active ingredient in the tank mix. ~ 
For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products 
containing boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply a product- mixture 
containing boroi- uniess the tank and spray equipment has been adequately cleaned. 
(See Equipment Clean~Out Procedures.) 
Al\.;ays perform a (jar) test to ensure the compatibility of p=-Jducts to be used in tank 
mixture. 
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recoITl'mendec prio=- to tank mixing to ensure 
,compatibili ty of "565" and other pesticides. Use a clear 91a5 s quart jar ,,..'i th 1 id and 
./mix the tank mix i:l.gredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing 
-)the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately ~ hour. If t.he 
mixture balls-up, :orms flakes, sludges, jels, oily films or layers, or other 
precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used. 
Vigorous, continuous agitation during mixing, filling and throughout application is 
required for all tank mixes. Sparger pipe agitators generally provide the most 
effective agitation in spray tanks. To prevent foaming in the spray' tank, avoid 
stirring or splashing air into the spray mixture. 
Mixing Order for Tank Mixes: 
1. Fill the spray tank to 1/4 to 1/3 of the total spray volume required with water 
or liquid fertilizer. 
2. Start agitation. 
3. Add water soluble packets by opening the overpack and adding water soluble 
packet (product in transparent film) directly to the spray tank while agitating and 
allow time to disperse. Do not open water soluble packets. Water soluble packets 
will float on the surface until the water soluble film is dissolved and product is 
released. Handling packets with hands should be minimized. Do not handle if hands 
or gloves are wet. If liquid fertilizer is being used as the spray carri~r rather 
than water, pre-mix the water-soluble packets as described above before adding to 
the spray tank. 
4. After adding "565", add different formulation types in the following order: 
(l)other formulation(s) packaged in water soluble packets; (2) any compatibility 
agent, if required; (3) dry flowables; (4) wettable powders; (5) aqueous 
suspensions, flowables and liquids. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to 3/4

Riverdale 565 Selective Herbicide 
" 
of total spray volume and add: (S) emulsifiable concentrates; (6) solutions; and (7) 
adjuvants. Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after each addition. 
5. Finish filling the spray tank. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing and 
throughout application. 
If application or agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the 
materials may settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be resuspended before 
spraying is resumed. A sparger agitator is particularly useful for this purpose. 
Settled material may be more difficult to resuspend than when originally mixed. 
Equipment Clean-out Procedures' 
1. Drain any remaining spray mixture from the application equipment. 
2. Hose down the interior surfaces of the tank while filling the tank ~ full of 
water. 
3. Add household ammonia at a rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water. 
Recirculate for -5 minutes and spray out part of this mixture for 5 minutes through 
the boom. Drain tank. 
4. Remove all spray nozzles and screens and clean separately. 
5. If spray equipment will be used for pesticide application to crops sensitive to 
"565", steps 1-3 should be repeated. Exterior surfaces of spray equipment should 
also be thoroughly cleaned.

Preplant Incorporated Application 
Apply "565" alone or in tank mix combination with other herbicides registered for 
preplant incorporated application to soybeans. For best results, the seedbed should be 
relatively free of clods. Incorporate the herbicide(s) into the top 1 to 3 inches of 
the final seedbed using equipment that provides thorough soil mixing. Do not apply 
"565" earlier than 4 weeks before planting. For best results, apply "565" within 2 
weeks of planting. When "565" is applied in tank mix combination with other 
herbicide(s), follow the incorporation directions for the tank mix partner(s). Follow 
applicable use instructions, including application rates, precautions and rest~ictions 
of each product used in the tank mixture. 
Preplant Surface Application 
Apply "565" alone or in tank mix combination with other herbicides registered for 
preplant soil surface application to soybeans. For best results, the seedbed should be

relatively free of clods. Do not apply "565" earlier than 4 weeks before planting. For 
best results, apply "565" within 2 weeks of planting. Soil surface applications are not 
effective until rainfall of at least 0.5 inch has moved "S65" into surface soil where 
weed germination occurs. If rainfall is not anticipated, shallow incorporation (i.e., 2 
inches deep) prior to planting is recommended to place "565" in contact with germinating 
weeds. If applied in tank mix combination, follow use instructions, including 
application rates, precautions and restrictions of each product used in the tank 
mixture. 
Note: Reduced weed control in the planted row may occur if untreated soil is exposed 
during planting operations. 
Burndown Application 
When used as a burndown treatment, "565" alone will provide foliar activity on those 
broadleaf weeds listed in' the UPostemergence Application n section of this label. In ( 
addition, "56S" will provide residual control of broadleaf weeds listed under the "Soil (. 
Application" section. Foliar burndown applications should include crop oil concentrate 
(COC) plus a liquid nitrogen fertilizer (see If Adjuvant Systems for postemergence 
Application" section). To broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled, "565" may be tank 
mixed with other herbicides such as Roundup Ultra, Touchdown, Gramoxone Extra, 2,4-D, 
etc. If tank mixing, a jar test for compatibility is always recommended.

Soybeans (Postemergence Application) 
Postemergence Application Timing 
"56S" may be applied any time prior to the SO% flowering stage of soybeans. .;:"_~plication 
prior to full emergence of the first soybean trifoliate leaf may cause temporary 
yellowing or chlorosis of soybeans. Tank-mix partners may cause other effects regardless 
of the application timing. Application timing restrictions of tank-mix partners should 
be followed. For "56S fI , optimum application timing for control of labeled \-leeds is 
provided in the table below. Allow two hours after application without rainfall for 
optimum "S65" effectiveness. 
Postemergence applications of "56S" may provide residual soil activity on broadleaf 
weeds, excluding sicklepod (see soil and postemergence weed lists). Length and 
effectiveness of residual activity from postemergence applications will vary a~d is 
dependent on rainfall following application (0.5 inches or more of rainfall '.."ithin a 
week of application), density of the weed and crop canopy at application, and the 
reserve of ungerminated weed seeds in surface soil.
