GENERAL INFORMATION HM·O739™ is a unique broad spectrum pre-plant (burndown), pre-emergence, postharvest( following crop) herbicide for controlling a wide annual, biennial, and perennial weeds and grasses in Soybeans. When HM-0739 is applied pre-plant or pre-emergence susceptible weeds emerge, growth stops, and the weeds either die or are not competitive with the crop. When HM70739 is applied postharvestnt,absorption of the product occurs through the foliage and roots. Susceptible weeds cease to be competitive with crop as they die. In many cases a light shallow cultivation may aid in the control of certain weeds or improve general weed control when adequate moisture is not received after application. In postharvest applications, wait approximately 10 days after application before cultivating. I 4 ( ( Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order of Injunctive Relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et all vs. EPA C01-132C (W.D.WA.). For information, please refer to www.epa.gov/espp/wtc/. Mode of Action HMDO739™ contains three active ingredients uniquely formulated to be used alone or tank mixed with other listed products as well as liquid fertilizer solutions. HM·0739™ is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and root uptake, trans locates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. HM·0739™ interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of ma,nybroadleaf weeds and grasses. For best results, thoroughly clean sprayer equipment (tank, lines and nozzles) immediately after use by flushing system with water and heavy duty detergent or other suitable tank cleaner. II. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Apply HM·O739™ at the rates and growth stages listed ih Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless instructed differently. HM-0739TftI may be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. Sprayable fluid fertilizer may be used as the carrier in preplant or pre-emergence use for all crops listed on this label. PostharVestnce uses with sprayable fluid fertilizer may be made on Soybeans wheat crops only. The most effective application rate and timing varies based on the target weed species (refer to Table I). In mixed populations of weeds the correct rate is determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size and will prevent adequate control. For certain specified applications liquid fertilizer or oil may replace part or all of the water as diluent. If dry flowable (DF); wettable powder (WP) or flow~ble (F) tank mix products are to be used, these should generally be added to the spray tank first Refer to the mixing directions on the labels of the tank mix products. .. Irrigation: In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth. CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Spray Coverage: . Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and prevent adequate spray coverage. Sensitive Crop Precautions: HM·0739™ may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other broad leaf plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage. These plants are most sensitive to HM·0739™ during their development or growing stage. Do not treat areas where either possible downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of HM·0739™ with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs. Drift Reduction Information: The following information may be helpful in reducing possible spray drift from ground or aerial applications. Avoid making applications when spray particle may be carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing. Do not spray near sensitive plants if the wind is gusty or in excess of 5 mph and moving in the direction of nearby sensitive crops or if a temperature inversion exists. Always determine the direction and distance 5 of possible spray drift prior to application. Leave an adequate buffer zone between arE~a to_,be treated and sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. Properly maintain and calibrate all spray equipment. The use of agriculturally accepted drift retardants are acceptable and advised. Avoid applications within the vicinity of susceptible plants when at all possible. Do not apply in greenhouses. AERIAL APPLICATION METHODS AND EQUIPMENT Water Volume: Use 3-10 gallons of water per acre. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation. I Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal arpounts of fine spray particles. Make applications at the lowest stage height to reduce the exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind. The applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements'must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always poiht 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. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction AdvisorY. AERIAL DRifT REDUCTION ADVISORY [This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.] INFORMATION ON 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 Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 6 CD Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle. types lower .. pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, u~e higherfl9w rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. o Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to. the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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 the largest droplets and the lowest drift. BOOM LENGTH For s'ome 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 target plants unless a greater . height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. SWATH ADJUSTMENT When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase. with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.) WIND Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. 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 spray drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 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 7 Tbe pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitanor threatened or endangered species,non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

ADDITIVES To improve burndown of emerged weeds, surfactants and/or lo~ use rates of Iiquid.fer1i1izers (28-0-0; 32-0-0), or crop oil concentrate may be used with HM·O739™ herbicide o{HM .. 0739™ tank mixes applied after the weeds have emerged. Crop oil concentrate is for non-food/feed crop uses only. Do not apply tank mixes that include Ammonium Sulfate or Crop Oil Concentrate to any food/feed trop use listed on this label. For food/feed crop use, do not use liquid fertilizers that contain Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) as a source of nitrogen as tolerances in commodities derived from the crop may contain residues that exceed established tolerances. Oil Concentrate A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following criteria: • be non-phytotoxic • contain only EPA-exempt ingredients o provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and • be successful in local experience The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable oil and petroleum oil concentrates should contain ,emulSifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components. Adjuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be useq for preplant, pre-emergence applications. Do not use crop oil concentrate for pre-emergence applications in food/feed crops (Le. grass (hay or silage), pastures, rangeland, and wheat.) Nitrogen Source Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use %GPA of sprayable liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0) per acre. Do not use brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers. Non-ionic Surfactant The standard labe! recommendation is 1-2 pints of an 80% active non-ionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water. (Rate will vary with the size and condition of weeds to be controlled. Use lowest rate per 100 gallons when weeds are small and actively growing. As weeds increase in size and or become hardened off,.the rate of non-ionic surfactant will have to be increased to give optimum coverage and control.) Table 4.

Food/Feed Crop Specific Information" section for more information for more details. Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions for Use on all products involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing HM·O739™ with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes adjust accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. 13 ( Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the same tank. Mixing Order If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added. Maintain constant agitation during application. 1. Water Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank half full of clean water. 2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and a.pplication. 3. Products in PYA bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PYA bags have fully dissolved and the prOduct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing. 4. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, and suspo- emulsoins) 5. Water-soluble products (such as HM·0739™ ). 6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate, when applicable). 7. Water-soluble additives (such as liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0), when applicable).* 8. Remaining quantity of water. * If sprayable fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier. Always perform the Compatibility Test before mixing into the spray tank. Also, when using a sprayable fluid fertilizer as the carrier, any product contained in PYA bags must first be completely dissolved in water before the contents can be added to the fertilizer mix. Tank Mix:tures with Glyphosate herbicides: When applied preplant or pre-emegent burndown or postharvest, Glyphosate may be mixed with HM-0739 for increased control of weeds common to minimum, conventional or no-till production such as marestail and prickly lettuce. Always include a CPDA certified adjuvant in the spray solution. Glyphosate will aid in the bumdown of exsiting weeds while the imazaquin component of HM-0739 will help control or suppress non-emereged weeds . . All refer to the Glyhosate label for recommended rate of timing of Glyphosate. Observe all precautions and limitations on the Glyphosate product label. 14 V.
