For guidance, contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Groundwater Advisory. This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Surface Water Advisory. DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to inter- tidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. This product may impact surface water due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classi- fied as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after application. A level, well- maintained buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of these chemicals and pyroxasulfone’s degradation product, [5-(difluoromethoxy)-1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H- pyrazol-4-yl]methanesulfonic acid (M1), from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. Proper Handling Instructions. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of wells (including aban- doned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to prop- erly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or applica- tion equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad con- structed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad must be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self- contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacity DOES NOT apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back-siphoning in wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide spray mixture. Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source contamination, DO NOT mix or load this or any other pesti- cide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermit- tent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or dike mixing/loading areas as described below. Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi- cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. Care must be taken when using this product to prevent: • Back-siphoning into wells • Spills • Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixes, or rinsates Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment. Physical or Chemical Hazards DO NOT mix or allow contact with oxidizing agents. Hazardous chemical reaction may occur.

Product Information Zidua® PRO herbicide provides both contact burndown and residual preemergence control of annual grass weeds and annual broadleaf weeds (including biotypes resistant to ACCase inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, triazine herbicides, and glyphosate) (refer to Table 1 for lists of weeds controlled) in soybean. Refer to Crop-specific Information section for instructions on herbicide tank mixes. Make burndown application of Zidua PRO when weeds are small and actively growing. An adjuvant is required with Zidua PRO for optimum burndown activity (refer to Additives section for details). Burndown activity may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather conditions or when weeds are growing under drought or other stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use high- er spray volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees) may improve penetration of denser weed canopies. Periods of dry weather following application of Zidua PRO may reduce herbicidal effectiveness. Residual preemergence applications of Zidua PRO must be activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation prior to weed seedling emergence. When Zidua PRO is not activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or culti- vation may be needed to control weed escapes. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued) Container Handling (continued) Triple rinse containers too large to shake (capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten clo- sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents of all containers into application equipment or mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold containers upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the containers and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose. Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller. Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec- tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times. When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all openings that have been opened during use; return the container to the point of purchase or to a designated location. This container must only be refilled with a pesti- cide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage including cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn-out threads and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is damaged or leaking.

Zidua PRO may not provide full-season control of these herbicide- resistant biotypes. See the Resistance Management section for practices to manage and minimize the impact of resistant weeds (e.g. tank mix or alternate with other herbicide modes of action, crop rotation, and mechanical control). 2 Control of seedling stage and suppression of perennial growth stage Level of Control C = Control S = Suppression Maximum Height or Diameter (inches) Common Name Scientific Name Residual Application Burndown Application Burndown Application Grass Weeds Barley, volunteer Hordeum vulgare S S 2 Barnyardgrass Echinochloa crus-galli C S 3 Canarygrass Phalaris canariensis C — — Canarygrass, littleseed Phalaris minor S S 2 Cheat Bromus secalinus S — — Crabgrass, large Digitaria sanguinalis C S 3 Crabgrass, smooth Digitaria ischaemum C S 3 Crowsfootgrass Dactyloctenium aegyptium C — — Cupgrass, Southeastern Eriochloa acuminata C — — Cupgrass, woolly Eriochloa villosa S C 3 Foxtail, giant Setaria faberi C C 6 Foxtail, green Setaria viridis C C 3 Foxtail, yellow Setaria pumila C C 3 Goosegrass Eleusine indica C — — Johnsongrass (rhizome) Sorghum vulgare — S 6 Johnsongrass (seedling) Sorghum vulgare C C 8 Millet, wild proso Panicum miliaceum S S 3 Oats, volunteer Avena sativa S S 2 Oats, wild Avena fatua S S 3 Panicum, fall Panicum dichotomiflorum C — — Panicum, Texas Panicum texanum S — — Rice, red Oryza rufipogon C C 3 Ryegrass, Italian Lolium perenne spp. multiflorum C — — Ryegrass, rigid Lolium rigidum C — — Sandbur Cenchrus spp. S — — Shattercane Sorghum bicolor S C 8 Signalgrass, broadleaf Brachiaria platyphylla C C 8 Wheat, volunteer Triticum spp. S S 2 Sorghum, almum Sorghum almum S C 3 Sedge Nutsedge, yellow Cyperus esculentus S2 S2 3 10 Mode of Action Zidua® PRO herbicide contains three herbicide active ingredients. Saflufenacil is a potent inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, belonging to herbicide mode-of-action Group 14 (WSSA)/Group E (HRAC). Imazethapyr is a potent inhibitor of acetohydroxyacid synthase, belonging to herbicide mode-of-action Group 2 (WSSA)/Group B (HRAC). Pyroxasulfone is a potent inhibitor of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis, belonging to the mode-of-action Group 15 (WSSA)/Group K3 (HRAC). The Group 14/Group E and Group 2/Group B herbicides of Zidua PRO are rapidly absorbed by roots and foliage. Plant death is the result of membrane damage and inhibi- tion of the production of branched chain amino acids. Under active growing conditions, susceptible emerged weeds usually develop chlorotic and necrotic injury symptoms within hours and die within a few days. Susceptible emerging weed seedlings will usually die as they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence. The Group 15/Group K3 herbicide of Zidua PRO is absorbed by roots and shoots of weeds following germination. Plant death is the result of very long chain fatty acid synthesis inhibition; susceptible weeds typically do not emerge. Herbicide Resistance Management While weed resistance to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase- inhibiting herbicide is relatively infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase or acetohydroxyacid-synthase-inhibiting herbicides are known to exist. Weed resistance to VLCFA synthesis-inhibiting herbicides is rare. Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates chemi- cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz- er placement, and optimum seeding rate/row spacing. Consult your local BASF representative, state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other quali- fied authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds. Herbicide resistance manage- ment practices should be considered and include: Chemical Control 1. Following labeled application rate and weed growth stage instructions. 2. Avoiding repeated applications of herbicides with the same mode of action. 3. The use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of broadleaf and grass weeds to reduce early season weed competition and allow for timely in- crop postemergence herbicide applications. 4. Utilizing tank mixes and sequential applications with other herbicides possessing different sites of action that are also effective on the target weeds. 5. Using crop rotation so competition, tillage, or herbicides with alternative modes of action can be used to control weed escapes. Scouting and Containment 1. Scouting fields after herbicide application to identify areas where weed control was ineffective. 2. Controlling weed escapes with herbicides possessing a different site of action or using a mechanical or cultural control measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively. 3. Contacting your Zidua PRO supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report weed escapes. 4. Cleaning equipment before moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant weeds. Crop Tolerance Soybeans are tolerant to Zidua PRO when applied according to label directions as a preplant to preemergence treatment and under normal environmental conditions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions (e.g. seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought). Severe crop injury will result if Zidua PRO is applied postemergence (over the top) to soybeans. Application Instructions Apply Zidua PRO prior to crop emergence only. Application Methods and Equipment Zidua PRO may be applied by ground or air. DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation system. Thorough spray coverage is required for optimum weed control and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection. Use and configure application equipment to provide an adequate spray volume, an accu- rate and uniform distribution of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas. Equipment should be adjusted to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above the use rates specified in this label. Zidua PRO may only be applied using water as the spray carrier. Aerial Application Requirements Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre. The actual minimum spray volume per acre is determined by the spray equipment used. Use adequate spray volume to provide accurate and uniform distribution of spray parti- cles over the treated area and to avoid spray drift. The following measures must be followed to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial applications: 1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter. 2. Use low-drift nozzles (straight-stream nozzles, D-8 or larger). DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet spray. 3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. 4. Without compromising aircraft safety, make applications at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop canopy or tallest plants. 5. DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. 6. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 30-feet buffer between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensi- tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Ground Application Requirements Water Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water per treated acre for weed control applications. Thorough spray cover- age is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or variations in size can prevent ade- quate spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) will also require thor- ough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray coverage and optimize burndown activity. The following measures must be followed to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground applications: 1. Apply this product using nozzles which deliver medium- to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASAE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs. Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burn- down applications while flood-jet type nozzles are recommended for residual soil surface applications. Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target (i.e. weeds or soil surface). DO NOT use nozzles that produce fine (e.g. cone) spray droplets. 2. Apply this product only when the potential for drift to adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e.g. when the wind is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive areas). DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. 3. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 13-feet buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product. Spray Drift Management It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at the application site, especially onto nontarget areas. The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica- tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The applicator must be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the following spray drift reduc- tion advisory information. Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Volume. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are need- ed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Swath Adjustment. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g. air- craft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.). Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: 1. Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or 2. Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Wind Erosion. Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. 11 Additives For optimum burndown activity of emerged weeds with Zidua® PRO herbicide, an adjuvant system must be used that includes the following: 1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methy- lated seed oil. Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than 60% methylated seed oil. 2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (< 12.5 gallons per acre) aerial or ground applications. Use an AMS fertilizer when mixing Zidua PRO with glyphosate-based herbicides. DO NOT use nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for MSO or poor performance on broadleaf weeds will occur. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF prefers the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. Tank Mixing Information Zidua PRO may be tank mixed with one or more regis- tered herbicide products according to the specific tank mixing instructions in this label and respective product labels. Refer to Crop-specific Information section for details. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limita- tions and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive direc- tions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Tank mixtures with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone, paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Zidua PRO. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. 1. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. 2. Add components in the sequence indicated in the mix- ing order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of label rate per acre. 3. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo- nent additions. 4. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. 5. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addi- tion of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank. Mixing Order Shake Zidua PRO container well before use. Maintain agitation throughout mixing and application until spraying is completed. 1. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start agitation. 2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added. 3. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing. 4. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fertil- izers ammonium sulfate or urea ammonium nitrate) 5. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions) - Add Zidua PRO at this point in the mixing process. 6. Water-soluble products (including glyphosate) 7. Emulsifiable concentrates (including methylated seed oil adjuvants) 8. Remaining quantity of water If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mix- ture before spraying is resumed. Continue agitation while spraying. Use Restrictions • DO NOT apply Zidua PRO after crop emergence or severe crop injury will occur. • DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. • DO NOT apply Zidua PRO through any type of irrigation system (e.g. chemigation). • Zidua PRO is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State, or in California. Adjuvant Rate methylated seed oil1 (MSO) 1 gal/100 gals2 (1% v/v) PLUS PLUS ammonium sulfate (AMS) or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) 8.5 to 17 lbs/100 gals (1% to 2% w/v) or 1.25 to 2.5 gals/100 gals (1.25% to 2.5% v/v) 12 13 Use Precautions • Rainfastness - Zidua® PRO herbicide is rainfast 1 hour after application. Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 1 hour of application. • Full-rate application of products containing chlorimuron ethyl, chloransulam-methyl, flumetsulam, or imazaquin in the same year as Zidua PRO may increase the risk of injury to sensitive follow crops. Consult the respective labels of these products for specified uses of these prod- ucts in combinations. • When organophosphate or carbamate insecticides are tank mixed with Zidua PRO, temporary injury may result to the treated crops. • Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used for feed or food. Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals Use Table 2 and its exceptions in the paragraphs following the table to determine the proper interval between Zidua PRO application and rotational crop planting. This interval can be used to determine the acceptable planting interval for rotational crops as well as replanting after crop failure (because of environmental factors including drought, frost or hail, etc.). Be sure to determine the rotational crop interval for tank mix products and utilize the most restrictive interval of all products applied. Table 2. Rotational Crop Planting and Emergency Replanting Intervals after an Application of Zidua PRO a The planting interval for this crop and rates are further defined in the respective Crop-specific Information section of this label. Use the longer interval within listed ranges for indicated crops grown on coarse-textured soils with organic matter less than or equal to 2.0%. b Following 40 months after a Zidua PRO application and before planting any crop not listed elsewhere in the Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals, a successful field bioassay must be completed.

The test strip should include low areas and knolls and include variations in soil including type and pH. If no crop injury is evident in the test strip, the intended rotational crop may be planted the following year. Sugar beet pro- duction can be reduced when grown in soil conditions with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to planting rotational crops not listed in Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop. Use of Zidua ® PRO herbicide in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rota- tional crops in most situations. However, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Exceptions to Crop Rotation Restrictions Corn Inbred Lines All corn inbred seed lines may be planted the year following an application of Zidua PRO. Several seed companies have tested a wide range of inbreds for sensitivity to Zidua PRO soil residues and have reported good crop safety. However, due to the proprietary nature of seed pro- duction, BASF has not been given access to the inbred data. Growers are directed to contact the seed company for information regarding the planting of corn grown for seed in fields treated with Zidua PRO the previous year. Because growing conditions, environmental conditions, and grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, to the extent of applicable law all risks and consequences associated with planting seed corn inbreds into fields treat- ed previously with Zidua PRO shall be assumed by the user. Sweet Corn and Popcorn (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin only) Sweet corn and popcorn may be planted the year following an application of Zidua PRO. Some sweet corn and pop- corn may be injured when planted at less than 18 months following an application of Zidua PRO. Before planting sweet corn for processing, contact the processor company for information regarding the tolerance of sweet corn planned for fields treated with Zidua PRO the previous year. DO NOT plant fresh market sweet corn prior to 18 months after Zidua PRO use. Before planting popcorn, contact the popcorn company for information regarding the tolerance of popcorn planned for fields treated with Zidua PRO the previous year. Because growing condi- tions, environmental conditions, and grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, to the extent of applicable law all risks and consequences associated with planting sweet corn or popcorn into fields treated previously with Zidua PRO shall be assumed by the user. Stunting and maturity-delay or other adverse effects may result when sweet corn or popcorn are planted following Zidua PRO use. Certain Vegetable Crops (Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia only) The following crops may be planted 18 months following the last application of Zidua PRO: Bahiagrass, cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumber, Irish potato, onion, sweet pepper transplants, sweet potato transplants, tomato transplants and watermelon. Field Corn and Field Corn Grown for Seed (Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) Plant 9.5 months after Zidua PRO application. Crop-specific Information This section provides use directions for Zidua PRO. Be sure to read about product information, mixing, application, weeds controlled and adjuvant instructions in preceding sections of the label. Depending on specific application directions, Zidua PRO may be applied for burndown control of emerged weeds and/or residual control of germinating weeds (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled) before planting (preplant/preseed) or after planting but before crop emer- gence. Depending on the time between Zidua PRO application and planting, a followup in-crop herbicide appli- cation may be needed for complete weed control throughout the growing season. Thorough spray coverage is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or variations in size can prevent adequate spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) will also require thorough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov- erage and optimize burndown activity. Fallow Zidua PRO may be used as a burndown treatment to con- trol listed weeds at any time of the year during the fallow period following crop harvest and before the following crop is planted (see paragraph below pertaining to rotational planting intervals). Application Rate and Timing Apply Zidua PRO as a broadcast burndown spray at 6.0 fl ozs/A plus required adjuvants (refer to Additives sec- tion for details). For best product performance, apply Zidua PRO when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled). Thorough coverage of existing weeds is essential and high- er spray volumes may be needed for best performance. Specific rotational crop planting intervals must be observed between an application of Zidua PRO and planting of the following crops (see Table 2 for rotational crop planting intervals). 15 Tank Mixes Broad-spectrum burndown control of grass weeds and/or additional broadleaf weeds requires a tank mix with another herbicide. Zidua ® PRO herbicide may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide products: • 2,4-D • dicamba • glyphosate It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limita- tions and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive direc- tions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Soybean Zidua PRO may be applied in the fall and/or in the spring as a preplant or preemergence burndown application in conventional, reduced-till, or no-till soybean for weed con- trol (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled). An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for details) is required for optimum burndown activity. Application Rate See Table 3 for application rates of Zidua PRO in soybean when applied alone, in tank mix, or sequentially. Table 3. Application Rate (in fl ozs/A) of Zidua PRO in soybean. aApply 6 fl ozs/A on fields with high weed pressure, resistant weed popu- lations, or emerged weeds at the time of application. If less than 6 fl ozs/A is applied under these conditions, weed control may be diminished. State-specific Use in North Dakota and in Minnesota north of Highway #210. Apply ZIDUA PRO at 4.5 fl ozs/A in the fall or in the spring (see Application Timing section below for details) for burndown and/or residual weed control in conventional, reduced-till, or no-till soybean. Application Timing Fall Application Apply Zidua PRO for burndown and/or residual weed con- trol after the prior crop is harvested. Applications must be made prior to first killing frost. Fall applications can be made to all soil types. Spring Application Apply Zidua PRO early preplant through preemergence for burndown and/or residual weed control prior to crop emer- gence. A sequential application of Sharpen ® herbicide at 1.0 and 2.0 fl ozs/A may be made with a minimum of 30 and 60 days between applications, respectively. Soybean Planting Interval Depending on soil texture and organic matter, an interval between Zidua PRO application and soybean planting may be required (see Table 4 and Table 5). These intervals must be observed prior to planting soybeans or crop injury may occur. Table 4. Minimum Soybean Planting Interval Table 5. Minimum Soybean Planting Intervals when Zidua PRO is Applied with other Group 14/Group E Herbicides 1 Group 14/Group E herbicides including sulfentrazone or flumioxazin *Interval for reduced-till and no-till soybean only.
