GENERAL INFORMATION Flexstar GT Herbicide may be applied as a preplant or preemergence burndown application in cotton or as a postemergence directed application in glyphosate-tolerant (GT) cotton and as a preplant or preemergence burndown in soybeans or as a postemergence over-the-top application in glyphosate-tolerant (GT) soybeans to control labeled broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds. -7- Environmental and Agronomic Conditions Always apply Flexstar GT Herbicide under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid applying Flexstar GT Herbicide to weeds which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures, excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may result. Preplant Surface, Preemergence or Postemergence Applications Flexstar GT Herbicide wi" control or partially control certain germinating broad leaf weeds and sedges by soil residual activity from either preplant surface, preemergence or postemergence applications that come in contact with the soil. Moisture is necessary to activate Flexstar GT Herbicide in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of Flexstar GT Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received within 7 days after a Flexstar GT Herbicide application, weed control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a % inch of water. Cultivation Cultivation prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Weeds may be put under stress by cultivation thus reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 2-3 weeks after applying Flexstar GT Herbicide may assist weed control. Information on Weed Resistance Flexstar GT Herbicide contains glyphosate which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3- phosphate (EPSP) synthase (Group 9 herbicide) and fomesafen which inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPG oxidase or Protox) (Group 14 herbicide). Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 and Group 14 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype may be present if poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative or agricultural advisor for assistance. Glyphosate Resistance 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. -8- Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients in Flexstar GT Herbicide, so glyphosate resistance management is critical. Flexstar GT Herbicide will control or partially control several broadleaf weeds that are showing increased tolerance or resistance to glyphosate. Flexstar GT Herbicide will not provide control of emerged grasses that are resistant to glyphosate. The following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in glyphosate-based programs. • In Roundup Ready® (RR) 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 mode of action herbicides and/or cultural practices. • In RR cotton, a maximum of three applications of a glyphosate-based herbicide may be used if employing in-crop cUltivation and/or residual herbicides. • Use alternative (non-glyphosate) burndown and/or residual herbicides for RR crops likely to require more than one application of glyphosate. • To help manage RR resistant volunteers rotate RR crops with conventional or non­ RR crops. • Use full labeled rates of glyphosate and tank-mix partners. Minimize weed escapes. • Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of field efficacy. • Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or Syngenta Crop Protection representative for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management directions for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the grower. The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of equipment and weather-related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive nontarget plants is minimal. This pesticide is to be applied only when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, nontarget plants) is minimal (i.e., when the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area). -9- Spray Adjuvants Flexstar GT Herbicide is specifically formulated with the ISOLlNKTM Technology II that minimizes the need for additional spray adjuvants. Under certain conditions, burndown and postemergence activity may be improved by adding one or more of the following spray adjuvants: Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 to 17 Ib./100 gallons of water should be added in areas where commonly used with glyphosate containing products. Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate. One of the following spray adjuvants can be added for difficult to control weeds or under adverse conditions: Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Methylated Seed Oil (MSO): Use a nonphytotoxic COC or MSO containing 15-20% approved emulsifier at 0.5-1% v/v (2-4 quarts/100 gallons) of finished spray volume. COC or MSO can improve weed control but may reduce crop tolerance. Nonionic Surfactant {NIS}: Use NIS containing at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25- 0.5% v/v (1-2 quarts/100 gallons) of finished spray volume. The use of deposition (drift control) agents that impact droplet size and coverage may reduce weed control. Recommended Tank Mixing Order 1. Fill the spray tank with % to ~ the required amount of water and begin agitation. 2. Add AMS (if used). 3. Add dry pesticide formulations (WP, OF, etc.). 4. Add liquid pesticide formulations (EC, SC, etc.). 5. Add Flexstar GT Herbicide. 6. Add COC, MSO or NIS (if used). 7. Add the remaining water and maintain agitation throughout the spray operation. Be sure to allow each tank-mix component to fully disperse before adding the next. -10- Ground Application Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A spray volume of 15-20 gallons per acre and 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip is recommended. When foliage is dense, use a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure adequate coverage. The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective postemergence application of Flexstar GT Herbicide. Use nozzles that are set up to deliver medium quality spray (ASAE Standard S-572). DO NOT USE AIR-INDUCTION, FLOOD TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLES WHICH DELIVER COARSE, LARGE DROPLET SPRAYS. Aerial Application Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A minimum of 5 gallons per acre of spray mixture should be applied with a maximum of 40 psi pressure. When foliage is dense, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage. DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
