GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS • Traxion GT requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e. mowed, cut, or hailed­ on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases may result in reduced weed control. • Traxion GT does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Weeds emerging after application will require retreatment. • Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment. • Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control. • Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. \Wl1 -7- • DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed may cause spray to drift onto adjacent nontarget areas. Drift minimization is the responsibility of the applicator. Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift. • Traxion GT is not volatile and cannot move as a vapor after application onto nontarget vegetation. • It is recommended that the spray system be thoroughly cleaned with water and a commercial tank cleaner after each use. • Spray solutions of Traxion GT should be mixed, stored, and applied using only plastic, plastic-lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate should not be stored in galvanized steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or unlined steel containers. • There are no rotational crop restrictions following application of this product. • Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of Traxion GT to any vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non-woody roots, or fruit) of crops, trees, and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as specified for glyphosate-tolerant crops. • In crop areas, do not exceed a total of 5.8 qts.lA. In noncrop areas, do not exceed a total of 7.6 qts.lA. • Do not exceed 0.7 qt.lA by air unless otherwise specified on this label. • For broadcast postemergence treatments, do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks following application, unless otherwise specified. • The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing glyphosate or sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether applied as mixtures or separately. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other glyphosate- or sulfosate-containing products does not exceed maximum use rate. GL YPHOSATE RESISTANT WEED MANAGEMENT Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a selection of resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the likelihood that resistant weed populations will develop and integrated strategies are known to manage such problem weeds. \ \()\ll -8- Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Traxion GT. The primary mode of action of glyphosate involves inactivation of the target enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate- 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of several essential amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins needed for plant growth and development. In susceptible weeds glyphosate binds tightly to EPSPS rendering the enzyme inactive. With the inactivation of EPSPS, the plant is unable to produce certain essential amino acids resulting in plant death. Initial studies on the mechanistic basis of resistance to glyphosate in various weed species have to date revealed EPSPS target site resistance and involvement of differences in translocation as important. Other mechanisms by which plants can become resistant to herbicides include differences in uptake, metabolism and sequestration. Within the USA specific biotypes of horseweed/marestail, Conyza canadensis, and rigid ryegrass, Lolium rigidum, have become resistant to glyphosate. The first incident reported to the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) of glyphosate resistance was in 1998 on rigid ryegrass. Horseweed resistance was subsequently confirmed in 2000. Following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in glyphosate­ based programs. Diversify glyphosate-dependent weed control programs with alternative herbicides or cultural practices. a. In Roundup Ready® (RRTM) corn and RR soybean systems do not use more than two applications of a glyphosate-based herbicide over a two year period. Diversify with alternative herbicides/cultural practices. b. In RR cotton up to three glyphosate applications may be used in crop per year if employing in-crop cultivation/residual herbicide. c. Use alternative burndown and/or residual herbicides for RR crops likely to require more than one application of glyphosate. d. To manage RR resistant volunteers rotate RR crops with conventional crops. e. Use full label rates of glyphosate and tank mix partners. Minimize weed escapes. f. Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of field efficacy. g. Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Traxion GT to control resistant weeds. APPLICATION AND MIXING DIRECTIONS TIMING Traxion GT should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. Generally, more effective ) \Wtl1 -9- control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seed head stage. Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, for specific application timing. When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3-4 inches of new growth to appear prior to application. When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed, allow new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application. Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity. RATES Follow recommended rates for Traxion GT listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections. Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures when weed vegetation is dense. SPRAY ADDITIVES Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) - Control of annual and perennial weeds with Traxion GT may be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at 1.0 to 2% by weight or 8.5-17.0 Ibs.l100 gals. of water. Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate. Do not reduce use rates of Traxion GT when using AMS. Drift Control Agents - Drift control agents may be used with Traxion GT. TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES Refer to crop sections for recommended tank mixes. Tank mixes of Traxion GT with other pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives except as specified on this label or other approved Syngenta supplemental labeling may result in tank mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank mix combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing. Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Tank Mixing Recommendations: 1. Fill spray tank % full with clean water. 2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying. ) -10- 3. Add AMS (if used). 4. Add dry formulations (WP, OF, etc.) to tank. 5. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank. 6. Add Traxion GT. 7. Fill remainder of spray tank. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES • Avoid drift. Applications should not be made in low-level inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or under any other conditions which favor drift. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer. Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which treatment is not intended. • Compatibility with drift control additives may vary. It is recommended that the combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test. Read and follow manufacturer's directions for use. A reduction in weed control may occur when drift control agents are used. • All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues after use. BROADCAST APPLICATIONS Ground Applications should be made in 3-40 gals. of water per acre. When foliage is dense, spray volume should be increased to ensure coverage of the target weeds. Flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Traxion GT. Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target weed. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage. Air Applications should be made in 3-15 gals. of water per acre. Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and flight safety. Applications more than 10 ft. above the canopy should be avoided. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding inappropriate spray boom pressure. Solid-stream or low-shear nozzles may be utilized to reduce small droplet formation. These nozzles direct the fluid parallel to the existing airflow to reduce shear --------------------------------- ) -11- effects. Other techniques may include reducing the fan angle of flat-fan nozzles if used, or reducing the deflector plate angle if deflector-type nozzles are used. Ensure the spray is released at an appropriate distance below the airfoil. For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably pattern tested for aerial application of Traxion GT initially and every year thereafter. To minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment produce the following minimum spray deposition characteristics: Volume Median Diameter (VMD) Volume Diameter (VD) {O.g} ) 400 microns ) 200 microns Prolonged exposure of uncoated steel surfaces to Traxion GT may result in corrosion and possible failure of the part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification M I L-C-38413 may prevent corrosion. To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove residues of Traxion GT accumulated during spraying or from spills. Landing gears are most susceptible. For aerial application in California, refer to the Federal Supplemental Label for aerial application for specific instructions, restrictions, and requirements. For aerial application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional requirements for aerial treatments. Banvel tank mixtures may not be applied by air in California. Avoid direct application to any body of water. SHIELDED/HOODED APPLICATION Use shielded/hooded sprayers to control weeds between rows while protecting the crop from the herbicide. Keep shields/hoods as close to the ground as possible and avoid ground speed in excess of 5 mph. Use appropriate nozzles, spacing, and pressure to achieve coverage without allowing spray to touch or drift onto the crop. Maintain equipment in good operating condition to prevent leakage or dripping onto the crop. Refer to state extension service recommendations and equipment manufacturers' guidelines for more information on proper operation of shielded/hooded sprayers. SPOT TREATMENTS For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.4 to 0.7% v/v solution. For annual weeds over 6 inches, use a 0.7 to 1.1 % v/v solution. Use a 0.7 to 1.5% v/v solution for most perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray equipment (rider bar), use a 2.2% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for rates of Traxion GT/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21 days later if regrowth occurs.

WIPER APPLICATION Traxion GT may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator (e.g. rope, sponge, or porous plastic applicators) for selective control or suppression of annual and perennial weeds which become taller than the crop or desirable vegetation. Mix 3 quarts of Traxion GT in 2 gals. of water unless directed otherwise in this label (See General Use Precautions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines). Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should be operated at speeds of 5 mph or less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For improved control, make two applications in opposite directions. CDA EQUIPMENT For control of annual weeds with hand-held equipment, apply a 20% solution of Traxion GT at a flow rate of 2 fl. oz. per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 mph (1 qUA). For perennial weeds, use a 20 to 30% solution of Traxion GT at a flow rate of 2 oz. per minute and a walking speed of 0.75 mph (2 to 3 qts.lA). For vehicle mounted equipment, apply in 3 to 15 gals. of water per acre. Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, for application rates and timing. Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation. ) ) -13- CROP USE DIRECTIONS This section is organized alphabetically by crop categories.
