STORAGE: Store under cool, dry conditions (below l200F). Do not store under moist conditions. DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product that cannot be used or chemically reprocessed should be disposed of in a landfill approved for pesticide disposal or in accordance with applicable Federal, state or local procedures. (See individual container label for disposal information.) APPLICATION EQUIPMENT This product may be applied through either Ground or Aerial (Fixed Wing or Helicopter) equipment. Calibrate spray equipment before use. Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good weed control. Use equipment which is capable of continuous and vigorous tank agitation. When tank is full, the agitation system should be capable of creating a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. Apply MON 37525W herbicide uniformly as a broadcast spray with properly calibrated ground equipment in 5 to 20 gallons of water per acre or 10 to 40 gallons of liquid fertilizer solution per acre. Or apply with aerial equipment in 5 to 15 gallons of water per acre. Select spray volumes that ensure thorough and uniform weed coverage. Choose nozzles which provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate spray pressure. Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps, and spray drift during applications. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Important-Equipment Cleaning: Thoroughly clean application equip­ ment immediately after MON 37525W herbicide use. Prepare a tank cleaning solution which consists of a 1 percent solution of ammonia (one quart of ammonia for every 25 gallons of water). Use sufficient cleaning solution to thoroughly rinse all surfaces and to flush all hoses. Repeat the procedure with the ammonia solution. Complete the cleaning process by rinsing with clean water. If visible residue is present in the spray tank, a solution consisting of 1 percent ammonia plus 0.25 percent nonionic surfactant (0.25 quarts per 25 gallons of water) is recommended for adequate cleansing.

The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. GROUND SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS Care must be used when applying this product to prevent injury to desirable plants and crops. Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drift, or splash onto desirable vegetation or soil areas where sensitive crops will be planted since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to plants on which treatment was not intended. Drift potential increases at wind speeds less than 3 mph or more than 10 mph. However, equipment type, nozzle size, and other factors influence drift potential at any given wind speed. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. Avoid applying at excessive speed or pressure. AVOID WINDLESS AND GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS 1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. Importance of droplet size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see the "Wind", "Temperature and Humidity", and "Temperature Inversions" sections of this label). Controlling droplet size Mon37525.doc 6 ( Saved:10/23!2000 3 28 PM Pr::.r:ted:l0!23!2000 3:28 PM • Volume: Use high flow practical spray volume. produce larger droplets. rate nozzles to apply Noz z les wi th the higher the highest rated flows • 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 higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of Nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards. parallel to the airstream. will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflec­ tion from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • 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. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length: For some use patterns. reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. • Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind. displaced downward.

However. many factors. including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift Temperature and Humidity Mon3752S.doc 7 ( ( 5dved:10/23/2000 3:28 PM ?~:nted 10/23/2000 3:28 PM When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. sensitive areas The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non­ target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas) . MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Fill the spray tank to about three-fourths of the desired volume. Add the recommended amount of this product as listed in the 'WEEDS CONTROLLED" section. Complete the filling process while maintaining agitation. Remove the hose from the mixing tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. For postemergence applications, add nonionic surfactant as the last ingredient in the tank. Spray solutions should be applied within 24 hours after mixing. Adjuvants: A nonionic surfactant (NIS) is the only adjuvant required in the spray solution for postemergence applications. Use only nonionic surfactants which are approved by EPA for use on food crops and which contain at least 80 percent active ingredient. Nonionic surfactants should be added at 0.5 percent Kon37525.doc 8 ( Saved:l0;23!2000 3:28 ?~ Printed:10/23/2000 3:28 PM I] /~ J Y by volume (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution). DO NOT USE NONIONIC SURFACTANTS OR OTHER ADDITIVES THAT ALTER THE pH OF THE SPRAY SOLUTION BELOW pH 5. Spray solutions of pH 6.0-8.0 are optimum. Oil based adjuvants or adjuvants containing oils are not recommended when this herbicide is tank mixed with emulsifiable concentrate pesticide formulations. Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant. APPLICATION BY AIR When applying MON 37525W herbicide by air in 5 gallons per acre of spray solution, a spray solution pH of 6.0 to 8.0 is optimum. Addition of 0.07% to 0.14% ammonia in final spray solution will increase the pH of the spray solution to within the optimal range. Failure to adjust the pH of the spray solution may result in reduction in weed control. Fill the spray tank to about three-fourths of the desired volume prior to mixing. With agitation, add MON 37525W herbicide and nonionic surfactant to the spray solution. Then adjust the spray solution pH with the ammonia. Caution: Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach as dangerous gases will form. APPLICATION IN FLUID FERTILIZERS Application of this herbicide in liquid fertilizers may result in leaf burn and reduced forage growth. This herbicide generally provides most consistent performance when applied with water as the spray carrier and surfactant is added to the spray solution. However, liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions (28-0-0 or 32-0-0) may be used as a spray carrier in place of all or part of the water when the label recommendations are followed. DO NOT USE MON 37525W HERBICIDE IN FERTILIZER SOLUTIONS WITH pH 5 OR LESS. FALL APPLICATIONS Fall applications of this herbicide in liquid fertilizer solutions may cause rapid leaf burn, resulting in reduced weed control and reduced forage growth. Mon37525.doc 9 ( Saved::: l 23/2000 3:28 PM Prlnte~::O/23/2000 3:47 PM Fertilizer solution must contain less than 50 percent liquid nitrogen and not exceed 30 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre in the spray solution. Nonionic surfactants should be added at 0.25 percent by volume to spray solutions containing fluid fertilizer. SPRING APPLICATIONS Fertilizer solutions containing more than 50 percent liquid nitrogen may result in excessive leaf burn from the fertilizer. Nonionic surfactants should be added at 0.25 percent by volume to spray solutions containing fluid fertilizer. WEEDS CONTROLLED Biological Information MON 37525W herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of many grass and broadleaf weed species in winter and spring wheat. Refer to the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section for a listing of weeds controlled. The level of weed control following MON 37525W herbicide appli­ cation is dependent upon application rate, weed species and size at application tiI1\e, and growing condi tions. For best results, postemergence applications should be made to actively growing weeds at the growth stages defined in this label. Heavy infestations should be treated early before the weeds become too competitive with the crop. Soon after MON 37525W herbicide is applied, growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited, and susceptible weeds are no longer competi­ tive with the crop. Following growth inhibition, affected plants may appear dark green and stunted, affected leaves will turn yellow and/or red, followed by death of the growing point of the plant. These visible effects of control may not be observed until 1 to 3 weeks after application.

Preemergence in Winter Wheat Apply MON 37525W herbicide preemergence to winter wheat at 1.6 fluid ounces of product per acre (20 acres per quart) in a single application to control the weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Preemergence applications of MON 37525W herbicide should be applied after drilling wheat, but before wheat or weed emergence. Do not apply preemergence if dry soil conditions will cause delayed wheat and/or weed emergence. Preemergence applications under dry conditions make the product . vulnerable to wind erosion until fall moisture is received. Under these conditions, wait until crop and weeds have emerged and are showing good vigor before making a postemergence application. Preemergence applications are not recommended for no-till systems or when high crop residue levels (plant material) are present on the soil surface. Postemergence in Winter Wheat Apply MON 37525W herbicide at 1. 6 fluid ounces of product per acre in a single application when the target weeds shown in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED section are actively growing.

ROTATIONAL CROP INFORMATION CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS DO NOT PLANT TO ANY CROPS OTHER THAN WINTER OR SPRING WHEAT for a period of one year following MaN 37525W herbicide application. CROP ROTATION ADVISORY One year after the application of MaN 37525W herbicide, it is recommended that before rotating to crops other than winter or spring wheat, a field bioassay be completed to determine whether injury to the intended rotational crop(s) will occur. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop you intend to grow the following season in fields previously treated with MaN 37525W herbicide. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in areas previously treated with MaN 37525W herbicide. PREHARVEST INTERVAL (PHI) INFORMATION Wheat forage may be grazed immediately after application of MON 37525W herbicide. Do not harvest wheat for hay within 30 days of MaN 37525W herbicide application and do not harvest wheat for grain or straw within 55 days of MaN 37525W herbicide application. WEED RESISTANCE Biotypes of certain plants, particularly broadleaf weeds, have demonstrated resistance to sulfonylurea herbicides or other herbicides with the same mode of action. Biotypes are naturally occurring individuals of a species that are identical in appearance but have slightly different genetic composition.

I Weeds showing resistance to the sulfonylurea mode of action also can be expected to be resistant to MON 37525W herbicide. To prevent or delay the development of broadleaf weed resistance, it is recommended that MON 37525W herbicide be used in tank mixes and/or in sequential applications with a registered herbicide having a different mode of action. To prevent or delay any development of grassy weed resistance, particularly bromus species, it is recommended that in wheat­ fallow-wheat production systems, a nonselective herbicide or tillage be used to control weeds to keep them from flowering and setting seed during fallow periods. It is not recommended that MON 37525W herbicide be used during fallow periods for weed control. Bronate and Buctril are trademarks of Rhone-Poulenc Ag Company.
