Alion Herbicide is a preemergence herbicide for control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in Blueberry; Caneberry and other Caneberry Subgroup Crops in 13-07A; Citrus; Coffee; Grasses Grown for Seed; Fig; Grapes; Hops; Olive; Pomegranate; Pome Fruit Crop Group 11-10; Stone Fruit Crop Group 12-12; Sugarcane; Tree Nuts . Alion Herbicide may be applied to the soil as a uniform broadcast or band application for the prevention of new weed emergence . Alion Herbicide provides preemergence, residual control of weeds . A dry soil surface at time of application and 48 hours after application is optimum for binding the active ingredient to soil particles and preventing its downward movement to the crop’s roots . Moisture is needed for activation of Alion Herbicide . Dry soil conditions following the initial 48-hour period after application of Alion Herbicide may result in reduced weed control . Weeds that germinate prior to activation by rain or irrigation may not be controlled . If weeds have emerged, the addition of a foliar active herbicide is needed . Alion Herbicide applied alone will not control weeds that are already emerged . Refer to the “Tank Mix Instructions” section . 8 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA This product controls weeds by inhibiting cellulose biosynthesis in plants . It may be applied at any time when the ground is not frozen or covered with snow . It will provide most effective residual weed control when applied to a dry soil surface followed by 48 hours without irrigation or rain, and then followed by adequate moisture from rain or an irrigation event within 21 days and prior to weed seed germination . Weed seeds and seedlings must come into contact with Alion Herbicide prior to emergence to be controlled . If insufficient moisture is present, some weeds may germinate and emerge from below the treated layer of soil . Avoid using Alion Herbicide in areas where soil runoff or erosion is likely to occur . Excessive crop or weed debris present on the soil surface at the time of application may prevent a uniform distribution of the product reaching the soil and consequently may reduce weed control . Performance may be improved by removing the debris prior to applying Alion Herbicide . In very dense stands of living weeds, an application of a foliar active herbicide first then followed 3-6 weeks later with the application of Alion Herbicide is recommended for improved performance . The level of weed control is dependent on many variables including soil texture, moisture, temperature, weed species present, the amount of weed seed present in the soil, and the crop canopy . 9 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA PRECAUTIONS FOR USE • Avoid direct or indirect spray contact with crop foliage, green bark, roots, or fruit as it may cause localized crop injury or death . Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark may be sprayed with Alion Herbicide . If the trunks are not fully callused mature brown bark, they should not be sprayed unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed containers . Contact of Alion Herbicide with tissues other than mature brown bark may result in serious damage or plant death . • The soil surface where Alion Herbicide is to be applied should not have open channels or cracks in the soil . This is to prevent the product from reaching the crop roots either through direct contact from the spray application or with water movement from rain or irrigation as this may cause crop injury . If depressions in the soil such as from settling following transplanting exist around the base of the crop, fill them in with soil prior to applying Alion Herbicide . Crops that are stressed may be more sensitive to herbicide injury and should not be treated . • Weed control activity may be reduced if the application is made to soil covered in heavy crop or weed debris that prevents a uniform distribution of the product reaching the soil . Removing the debris prior to applying Alion Herbicide may improve weed control . 10 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA • Do not use in crops that exhibit low vigor or poor health as they may be more susceptible to crop injury . Causes of reduced vigor may include such things as previous pesticide applications, excess fertilizer or salt, diseases, insects, nematodes, drought, flooding, wind damage, frost, nutrient deficiency, or mechanical damage . RESTRICTIONS FOR USE • Alion Herbicide can only be applied in citrus trees established for a minimum of one year after transplanting and exhibiting normal growth and good vigor or in new Citrus Groves one month after planting if the transplanted trees were potted plants (such as citripots) and not bare-rooted, the trunks are protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed containers, and the trees are actively growing and exhibiting good health and vigor . • Alion Herbicide can only be applied in labeled tree nut crops (except pecan) that have been established for a minimum of one year after transplanting and exhibiting normal growth and good vigor . • Alion Herbicide can only be applied in labeled pome and stone fruit, pecan, and olive that have been established for a minimum of three years after transplanting and exhibiting normal growth and good vigor . 11 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA • Do not use on soils with 20% or more gravel content . To determine gravel content do not remove gravel from soil samples before sending the samples for soil texture analysis, and request that gravel content be included in the analysis . The gravel content (greater than 2 mm or 0 .079 inches in size, US standard sieve size 10) is defined as total percent gravel by weight before conducting soil texture analysis . • Determine soil organic matter content (%OM) of specific orchards, vineyards, and groves by having soil core samples to a minimum depth of 6 inches of soil analyzed . • Do not apply more than the amount of Alion Herbicide specified per application and per year or in a 12 month period on this label based on soil texture, percent organic matter content, application site, and crop . • Except for sugarcane and grasses, allow at least 90 days between applications of Alion Herbicide . For sugarcane and grasses, allow at least 60 days between applications of Alion Herbicide . • Only use in vineyards where the grapes have at least 6 inches of soil barrier between the soil surface and the major portion of the root system . • Alion Herbicide can only be applied in grapes that have been established for a minimum of three years after transplanting and exhibiting normal growth and good vigor . 12 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA • Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system . • Use of spot spraying around desired plants is not allowed due to the variability of the actual application rate . Excessive application rates may result in severe crop injury or death . • Do not apply this product by aerial equipment, chemigation, or spot spraying around desired plants . • Grasses may be harvested within the day of application of Alion Herbicide . • Do not harvest sugarcane within 120 days after the application of Alion Herbicide . • Do not harvest citrus crops within 7 days after the application of Alion Herbicide . • Do not harvest crops other than citrus, grasses, and sugarcane within 14 days after the application of Alion Herbicide . • Do not rotate to any crops not listed on this label within 24 months after the last application of Alion Herbicide, except for the rotational crops listed and following the instructions in the “Rotational Crop Restrictions” section . • Do not apply this product to water-saturated, frozen or snow covered soil . 13 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA • Do not flood-irrigate orchards or vineyards containing stone fruit, pome fruit, grapes, tree nuts, or olives within 60 days following application of Alion Herbicide . • Do not apply irrigation, exclusive of flood-irrigation, to treated areas within 48 hours after application . • Do not apply within 25 feet of ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and habitat containing aquatic and semi-aquatic plants . • Do not use Alion Herbicide in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York State . • Rates provided on this label are based on broadcast treatment . For banded applications, reduce the broadcast rate of Alion Herbicide to the proportion of the field being treated . No area of the field may be treated with more than the highest rate provided on this label regardless of the portion of the field that this represents . • The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is 0 day for grasses (including forage), 7 days for citrus, 120 days for sugarcane and 14 days for all other crops listed on this label . • Do not cut hay within 30 days of a single application up to 0 .04 lb ai/A . 14 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Spray equipment and weather affect spray drift . Consider all factors when making application decisions . Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed . Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator or grower . To reduce the potential for drift, the application equipment must be set to apply medium to large droplets (i .e ., ASAE Standard S-572 .1) with corresponding spray pressure . Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume . With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets . Follow the nozzle manufacturer’s directions on pressure, orientation, spray volume, etc ., in order to minimize drift and optimize coverage and control . Wind Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing . Do not spray near sensitive plants if wind is gusty, below 2 mph, or in excess of 10 mph and moving in the direction of adjacent areas of sensitive crops or plants . Do not apply during temperature inversions . Always make applications when there is some air movement to determine the direction and distance of possible spray drift . 15 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Local terrain may influence wind patterns; the applicator should be familiar with local conditions and understand how they may impact spray drift . Boom or nozzle shielding can reduce the effects of wind or air currents on drift . Verify that the shields do not interfere with uniform deposition of product prior to application . Temperature Inversion A surface temperature inversion (i .e ., increasing temperature with increasing altitude) greatly increases the potential for drift . Avoid application when conditions are favorable to inversion . Presence of ground fog is a good indicator of a surface temperature inversion . Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas to Alion Herbicide are defined as natural bodies of water (ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams), wetlands, habitats of endangered species and non-labeled agricultural crop areas . Applicators must take all precautions necessary to minimize spray drift to these sensitive areas . APPLICATION INFORMATION Alion Herbicide can only be applied by ground equipment . Do not apply by aerial equipment, chemigation, or spot spraying around desired plants . 16 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Apply Alion Herbicide alone or in an approved tank mixture in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre . Use higher spray volumes to improve distribution in high densities of emerged weeds or debris . Uniform, thorough spray coverage directed to the soil at the base of the crop is important to achieve consistent weed control . Do not allow spray to directly or indirectly contact crop foliage, green bark, roots, or fruit as it may cause localized crop injury . Application may be made as a broadcast treatment or as a banded treatment under vineyard, grove, or orchard crops . When making banded applications use proportionately less spray water and Alion Herbicide . The dosage listed on this label is for the treated area of the field regardless of the portion of the field that this represents . Application Equipment To minimize spray drift to non-target areas, apply this product using nozzles that deliver a medium or larger spray droplet as defined by the ASAE S-572 .1 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues . Keep the spray boom at the lowest possible spray height recommended by the nozzle manufacturer above the target surface . Refer to nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for proper nozzle, pressure setting and sprayer speed for optimum product performance and minimal spray drift . Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application to ensure proper distribution . An off-center (OC) nozzle 17 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA located at the end of the boom may be used to spray near the trunk but must be oriented so that it directs spray to avoid spray contact with crop foliage and green bark . Maintain adequate agitation at all times including momentary stops. Since settling may occur and be difficult to get back into suspension, spray solution should not be left in the tank overnight. Ensure that the spray equipment including spray tank, pumps, lines, filters, screens, and nozzles are clean and free of residue from previous use before mixing and applying Alion Herbicide by following the instructions listed under SPRAYER CLEANUP PROCEDURE . Residue remaining in the spray equipment from previous uses can cause crop injury if not properly cleaned . After applying Alion Herbicide, follow the cleaning instructions again to ensure that no product remains in the spray equipment . Uniform thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control . Select nozzles, pressure, and application speed that will deliver medium or larger droplets . Verify that application equipment is in good working condition and is properly calibrated to apply the correct amount of product . 18 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Application Method Broadcast Applications For all crops listed on this label, apply Alion Herbicide at rates described in the Dose Rate Chart in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS section for the specific crop or site where this product will be used . Banded Applications When making banded applications, use the same dosage rate as for broadcast applications but use proportionately less spray water and Alion Herbicide . The use rate provided is for the treated area of the field regardless of the portion of the field that it represents . Banded applications may be made using the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide and spray volume needed for orchard or vineyard strip sprays: Treated Band width in Inches X HERBICIDE Rate per Treated Acre = Amount of HERBICIDE needed for treatmentRow width in Inches Treated Band width in Inches X SPRAY VOLUME per Treated Acre = Amount of Spray Volume needed for treatment Row width in Inches 19 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Tank Mix Instructions Alion Herbicide may be mixed with and applied in combination with most commonly used pesticides registered for use in the approved crops to expand the spectrum of weed control . Alion Herbicide will generally provide little or no control of weeds that are already emerged or established at the time of application . When weeds are emerged at application, the addition of a labeled foliar active herbicide is needed . Only use products that are approved for use in the crop to which the tank mixture is to be applied . If Alion Herbicide is to be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers, other pesticides, or additives, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing . To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0 .5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio and mixing order as the anticipated use . If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying . Indications of incompatibility usually appear 5 - 15 minutes after mixing . It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing . Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture . 20 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Mixing Instructions Ensure that the application equipment has been thoroughly cleaned from previous use before using to apply Alion Herbicide . Follow the steps listed below: 1 . Shake container well to ensure that the product is thoroughly suspended prior to measuring in case some settling has occurred during shipping or storage . 2 . Fill the spray tank with 1/2 of the required volume of water prior to the addition of Alion Herbicide . 3 . With the pump and agitator running, add the proper amount of Alion Herbicide first . 4 . Once the Alion Herbicide is completely dispersed, add any other pesticides, fertilizers or additives if they are to be applied with Alion Herbicide . 5 . Add the rest of the water to the desired volume while maintaining sufficient agitating . Continue agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. Re-suspending SC Products in Spray Solution: Like other suspension concentrates (SCs), Alion Herbicide will settle if left standing without agitation . Reagitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before application . 21 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Weed Control Alion Herbicide provides residual control of susceptible grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied prior to germination . Best weed control is obtained when Alion Herbicide is applied to a dry soil surface followed by 48 hours without irrigation or rain, and then followed by adequate moisture from rain or an irrigation event within 21 days and prior to weed seed germination and adequate rain or irrigation is received soon after application and prior to weed germination . Supplemental irrigation may be applied following application to improve weed control . The weed control activity may be reduced if the application is made to dense weed vegetation or to soil covered in heavy crop or weed debris that prevents a uniform distribution of the product reaching the soil . Removing the debris and / or controlling the existing weeds prior to applying Alion Herbicide may improve weed control . In very dense stands of living weeds, an application of a foliar active herbicide first then followed 3-6 weeks later with the application of Alion Herbicide is recommended for improved performance . If weeds are emerged at application, the addition of a foliar active herbicide is needed . The spectrum of weed control may be increased when Alion Herbicide is tank mixed with other herbicides . Refer to Tank Mix Instructions section . 22 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Rate Ranges Select proper use rate based on crop or application site and soil texture and percent organic matter content . Soils with high clay content may require a higher use rate of Alion Herbicide than soils with low clay content . Where rate ranges are given, use lower rates within the range on coarser textured soils and higher rates within the range on finer textured soils . Using the higher rates will provide longer weed control and may also improve control in fields with heavy weed or crop debris . If individual orchards, vineyards, or citrus groves have multiple %OM contents throughout the area where Alion Herbicide is to be applied by a single tank or tank mix, then use the lowest rate of Alion Herbicide corresponding to the lowest %OM content for that area . Alion Herbicide may be used on soils with greater than 10% organic matter; however, the length and level of weed control may be reduced compared to soils with lower organic matter . 23 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Weeds Controlled by 3.5 to 6.5 Fl oz/Ac Alion Herbicide Broadleaves Grasses Common Name Genus/Species Common Name Genus/Species Buckwheat, wild * Polygonum convolvulus Barley, mouse Hordeum murinum Burclover, California * Medicago polymorpha Barnyardgrass, common Echinochloa crus-galli Carpetweed Mollugo verticillata Bluegrass, annual Poa annua Chickweed, common Stellaria media Brome, foxtail Bromus rubens Cudweed, purple Gnaphalium purpureum Cheat Bromus secalinus Dandelion, common (seedling) Taraxacum officinale Crabgrass, large Digitaria sanguinalis Eveningprimrose, cutleaf * Oenothera laciniata Foxtail, giant Setaria faberi Filaree, redstem / Storksbill Erodium cicutarium Foxtail, green Setaria viridis Fleabane, hairy Erigeron bonariensis Foxtail, yellow Pennisetum glaucum Groundsel, common Senecio vulgaris Goosegrass Eleusine indica Henbit * Lamium amplexicaule Lovegrass, tufted Eragrostis pectinacea Horseweed / Marestail Erigeron canadensis Ryegrass, Italian (annual) Lolium multiflorum Knotweed, prostrate * Polygonum aviculare Kochia Kochia scoparia 24 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Lambsquarters, common ** Chenopodium album Mallow, little/ Cheeseweed Malva parviflora Mustard, wild Sinapis arvensis Pigweed, prostrate Amaranthus blitoides Pigweed, redroot Amaranthus retroflexus Purslane, common Portulaca oleracea Pusley, Florida Richardia scabra Ragweed, common * Ambrosia elatior Redmaids Calandrinia caulescens Shepherd’s-purse Capsella bursa-pastoris Sowthistle, annual Sonchus oleraceus Sunflower, common * Helianthus annuus Swinecress Coronopus didymus Thistle, Russian Salsola kali Velvetleaf Abutilon theophrasti Willowherb, panicle Epilobium brachycarpum 25 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA * Denotes partial control of these weeds ** Consistent control dependent on timely activation by rain or irrigation *** Seedling control only Weeds Controlled by 5.0 to 6.5 Fl oz/Ac Alion Herbicide Broadleaves Grasses Common Name Genus/Species Common Name Genus/Species Amaranth, spiny Amaranthus spinosus Brome, downy Bromus tectorum Buttercup, corn * Ranunculus arvensis Bromegrass, ripgut Bromus rigidus Catsear, spotted *** Hypochoeris radicata Crabgrass, smooth Digitaria ischaemum Celery, wild * Apium leptophyllum Cupgrass, southwestern Eriochloa gracilis Chickweed, mouse-ear Cerastium vulgatum Guineagrass Panicum maximum Clover, crimson *** Trifolium incarnatum Junglerice Echinochloa colonum Clover, red * Trifolium pratense Millet, wild proso Panicum miliaceum Clover, white *** Trifolium repens Oat, wild Avena fatua Fiddleneck, coast Amsinckia intermedia Panicum, fall Panicum dichotomiflorum Filaree, whitestem Erodium moschatum Panicum, Texas * Panicum texanum 26 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Geranium, Carolina Geranium carolinianum Signalgrass, broadleaf Brachiaria platyphylla Lettuce, prickly * Lactuca serriola Sprangletop, bearded Leptochloa fascicularis Mallow, common * Malva neglecta Sprangletop, Mexican Leptochloa uninervia Morningglory, ivyleaf * Ipomoea hederacea Morningglory, pitted Ipomoea lacunosa Mustard, black Brassica nigra Nettle, stinging Urtica dioica Pigweed, smooth Amaranthus hybridus Plantain, buckhorn Plantago lanceolata Prickly sida / Teaweed Sida spinosa Purslane, horse Trianthema portulacastrum Rocket, London Sisymbrium irio Sesbania, hemp / Coffeebean Sesbania exaltata Smartweed, Pennsylvania Polygonum pensylvanicum Smellmelon Cucumis melo 27 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA Sorrel, red * Rumex acetosella Sowthistle, spiny Sonchus asper Spanishneedles * Bidens bipinnata Spurge, prostrate Euphorbia supina Spurge, spotted Euphorbia maculata Spurry, corn Spergula arvensis Vetch, purple Vicia benghalensis Woodsorrel, common yellow * Oxalis stricta Woodsorrel, Florida yellow Oxalis florida * Denotes partial control of these weeds ** Consistent control dependent on timely activation by rain or irrigation *** Seedling control only HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (WSSA) RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Alion Herbicide is a Group 29 herbicide . Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Alion Herbicide and other Group 29 herbicides . The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field . Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed . 28 2.25”1.75” 2.75” 3.25” COPY AREA To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of Alion Herbicide or other Group 29 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field . • Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner . Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance . • Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e .g ., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices . • Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development . Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species .
