Grassy weeds growing under stress due to drought or other environmental factors may become mature (more than 3 tillers) before they reach the size listed, in which case their susceptibility to STEADFAST® may be reduced. SPRAY ADJUVANTS Applications of STEADFAST® must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specif­ ically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvant system for STEADFAST®. Consult local DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with STEADFAST®, select adjuvants authorized for use with Doth products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001). Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO) • Apply at 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 (0.5 gallon 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. • Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilicllipophilic 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.

Fill the tank 114 to 113 full of water. 2. While agitating, add the required arnount of DuPont™ STEADFAST®. 3. Continue agitation until the STEADFAST® is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes. 4. Once the STEADFAST® is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. Thoroughly mix STEADFAST® with water before adding any other material. 5. As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic 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 STEADFAST® spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. 8. If STEADFAST® and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the STEADFAST® in clean water prior'to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the STEADFAST®. WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES STEADFAST® may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in com following a reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide. Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence grass herbicide Prior to com emergence and then follow with a postemergence application of STEADFAST®. Apply products such as DuPont™ CINCH®, "Balance" PRO, "Axiom", "Dual" II Magnum, "Surpass", "Frontier" and "Harness" Xtra at as low as 114 to 112 of the full labeled use rate and follow with a sequential postemergence application of STEADFAST®. Refer to WHEN TO APPLY - POSTEMERGENCE and ENVIRON­ MENTAL CONDmONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY sections for complete application information and precautions. Refer to the preemergence grass herbicide label for use restrictions, application information, rotational crop guidelines, and cautionary statements prior to applying STEADFAST®. Do not apply STEADFAST® to com that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications made to the current or preceding crop. TANK MIX APPLICATIONS Application of STEADFAST® tank mixtures containing atrazine and/or dicamba (in some states) are limited to corn that is up to 12" tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive. See TANK MIXTURES WITH "DISTINCT" OR DICAMBA for additional information. Refer to the table below for weeds controlled using preferred tank mixtures. 4 1~\0 For Additional Control of BroadleafWeeds STEADFAST® may be tank mixed with the herbicides below for additional control of broadleaf weeds. See the tank mix partner label for weeds controlled, precautions, use' restrictions and crop rotation information. Crop oil concentrate must be used in the tank mixtures specified below.

APPLICATION INFORMATION Many crops are highly sensitive to STEADFAST®. All direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than field com should be avoided (see also SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT). For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens. 8 Do not apply. STEADFAST® through any type of irrigation system. GROUND APPLICATION Broadcast Application Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by 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 com plant whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury. Band Application For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture. To avoid crop injury, 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 Aerial application is not permitted in New York State or California. Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA. •••• Do not apply during a temperatur~ Ju"enion, wpe4 ;vinds are gusty, or when conditions fav~r p~r)::overage ilild/or off-target spray movement. • • ••• •••••• ••• SPRAYER PREPARATIONlCL.E~NUP •• •• ••• It is important that spray equipmenti~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 ENVIRON­ MENTAL 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 minimumnumber 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 nozz!e types. • Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift potential. • Application Height - Application more than lOft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift. 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. 9 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.
