For popcom Of field com (grown for seed), contact the seed supplier for full information on the use of Celebrity (which contains nlcosulfuron) and its interaction w~h previously applied organophosphate Insecticides. Herbicide-Resistant Field Corn Celebrity may be used on fields treated with Counter 15G or Counter 20 CR (applied in-furrow, T -or surface-banded) if the field has been planted with an imidazolinone-resistant ("IR") hybrid such as Pioneer 3377 IR, Pioneer 3180lR, etc. For Celebrity applied to imazethapyr-tolerant ("IT") field corn hybrids, follow directions above for Conventional and "IT" field com, popcom, and field com (grown for seed). 3 Herbicide Tolerance When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally­ occurrin~ tolerantweed biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. These tolerant weed biotypes may not be adequately controlled. Cultural practices such as tillage, preventing weed escapes from going to seed, and using herbicides with different modes of action within and between crop seasons can_aid in delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide tolerant weed biotypes. Integrated P.est Management This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pesVcrop systems in your area. Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigafe . before treatment to ensure active weed growth. Coverage Apply Celebrity to the foliage of broadleaf weeds and grasses on a spray-to-wet basis uniformly and completely because large leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate sJ;lray coverage. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Cultivation Do not cultivate within 10 days before or 7 days after applying Celebrity. Cultivating 7-14 days after application may help control suppressed weeds, weeds beyond maximum size at application, or weeds that emerge after applying .,., . .... ~ .. , , , . , , , , " " , , " , ~ , • •• • • • •• • II. Application Instructions Apply Celebrity rates listed in Table 2 to actively growing weeds as an earty postemergence aerial (broadcast) or ground (banded or broadcast) application. Refer to Spray Drift Information. Refer to section VII. Crop·Specific Information for details specific to com type. Refer to Table 4. Weeds Controlled for a list of weed species controlled and best application timings based on weed size. The most effective control will result from making postemergent applications of Celebrity early. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and may lead to inadequate control. Applications made to weeds larger than those listed on this label may vary from complete control to suppression. Level of control will depend on the weed species, stage of growth, and environmentai conditions. For later-emerging weeds, a second application at the same rate or a timely cultivation is required. Each Celebrity package is designed to treat 8 acres. The package contains 3 pounds of Celebrity Band 5.33 ounces (two 2.67 -ounce Water-soluble packets) i < Celebrity G . . ,)plications of Celebrity must include a nonionic surfactant and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Refer to section III. Additives for rates and additional information. Table 2. Celebrity Use Rates Rate Per Acre Celebrity 6.67 ounces (Celebrity B (6 ounces and and Celebrity G) 0.67 ounces) Air Application (Except California) Do not use aerial applications if sensitive crops are grown in the vicinity of the area to be treated. Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor'coverage and/or off-target spray movement. Water Volume: Use 3-5 gallons of water per acre. ( ~rease yvater volume to at least 10 gal!ons of water ... er acre If weed foliage or crop canopy IS dense. Application Equipment: Use only diaphragm-type nozzles that produce fan spray patterns. Nozzles must be posITioned 6-10 feet above tbe crop and oriented so as to discharge straight back with the air stream (opposite the direction of travel of the aircraft) and not more than 20° downwind. Nozzles must be located no farther out than 3f,the distance from the center of the aircraft to the end of the wing or rotor. Table 3.

Application Equipment: Use standard pesticide flat fan nozzles spaced 18-20 inches apart. Do not use flood, hollow cone, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet appflCator (COA) nozzles as erratic coverage can result in inconsistent weed control. Refer to the nozzle manufacturer's directions for recommended position of nozzle in respect to the crop. Celebrity may be broadcast or applied with drop nozzles to com up to 20" tailor with 6 or fewer collars (\16), whichever is more restrictive. Ground Application (Banding) Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions for band applications. When applying Product by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed using the following formula: Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide Row width in inches per acre rate per acre Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast' =8anding water Row width in inches volume per acre volume per acre Rescue Application (Ground application - drop nozzles only) Celebrity may be applied to field corn as a rescue treatment to control escaped broadleaf weeds and grasses, or as a directed postemergence application , on corn that is taller than 20" or which has more than 6 collars (whichever occurs first). Do not use rescue applications on field corn (grown for seed) or popcorn. For field com 20-36" tall, apply Celebrity with drop nozzles only and avoid spraying directly into the leaf whort of the com plant. , Do not apply to com that is taller than 36" or that exhibits 10 or more collars (\110). Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury. _ Due to the unplanned nature of rescue applications, choices must be made between the risks that arise from applicalions made beyond the proper time for Cel .. brity use, and the effects of season-long weed competmon or harvest complications. These choices must balance risks from improperty timed Celebrity use that include, but are not limited to: • Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates competmon from dense infestations of foxtail exceeding 4" tail may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and other annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that exceed the sizes stated on the label increases the risk of yield losses due to prolonged competmon with the crop even though control may be .. a9ceptable. • Incomplete control of weeds at growth S~9t.!;· • beyond labeled size: Applications to weeds tha~ , •• exceed the labeled sizes can result in reduced cpntrd..

Hop Ear malformation: Applications of Celebrity on corn that has 7-10 COllars (V7 -VI 0) increases the potential for ear malformation (pinching). This risk may be greatly reduced. but not eliminated, by using drop·· nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply Celebrity into the com whorl. Spray Drift Management The interaction of many equipment and weather­ related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBIUlY OF THE APPLICATOR. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (>200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets· that provide sufficient coverage and control. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT MAY NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS!

Perennial , Whorled .- Thistle, Canada Nightshade, Silverleaf Vetch (White HorsenettIe) Controlling Droolet Size - General Technigues • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Use the rower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. • 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.
