Postemergence row crop applications of Liberty 280 SL may be made only to crops resistant to the active ingredient in this product. BASF does not war- rant the use of this product on crops other than those designated as LibertyLink ® to safely withstand the application of Liberty 280 SL to the extent consistent with applicable law. The basis of selectivity of Liberty 280 SL in crops is the presence of a gene in LibertyLink crops which results in a plant that is resistant to the active ingredient of Liberty 280 SL. Crops not containing this gene will not be resistant to Liberty 280 SL and severe crop injury and/or death may occur. DO NOT allow spray to contact foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetation other than crops resistant to the active ingredient in this product. Liberty 280 SL may be applied to conventional or other transgenic cotton not resistant to the active ingredient in Liberty 280 SL using a hooded sprayer. Applications in bearing and nonbearing perennial fruit, nut, berry crops, and tropical and subtropi- cal fruits must avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur. Only spray trunks with cal- lused, mature brown bark unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed con- tainers. Contact of Liberty 280 SL with parts of trees, vines, berries, tropical or subtropical fruits other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. Pesticide Storage DO NOT use or store near heat or open flame. Keep the container tightly closed and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Storage temperature must not exceed 125° F. If storage temperature for bulk Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide is below 32° F, the material must not be pumped until its temperature exceeds 32° F. Protect against direct sunlight. For containers larger than 2.5 gallons, periodic recircula- tion is advised during long term storage and prior to use or dispersement.

Product Information Liberty 280 SL is a water-soluble non selective herbi- cide for application as a foliar spray for the control of a broad spectrum of emerged broadleaf and grassy weeds. Liberty 280 SL is registered for use as a: • burndown treatment prior to planting of canola, corn, sweet corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beet, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits listed on this label • burndown treatment after planting but prior to emer- gence of canola, corn, sweet corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beet • postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied on LibertyLink ® or glufosinate-resistant crops including glufosinate-resistant gold-of-pleasure, LibertyLink canola, LibertyLink  corn, LibertyLink  sweet corn, LibertyLink  cotton, LibertyLink  soybeans, and LibertyLink sugar beets • postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied in cotton with a hooded sprayer only • postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied in bearing and nonbearing perennial fruit, nut, and berry crops, and tropical and subtropical fruits • postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied between rows of fruiting vegetables and cucurbits • postemergence weed control in grass grown for seed production • vine desiccant in potatoes Liberty 280 SL is only foliar-active with little or no activity in soil. Only weeds that are emerged at the time of applica- tion will be controlled by Liberty 280 SL. Liberty 280 SL: • Apply to actively growing small weeds as specified in the Weeds Controlled section. • Liberty 280 SL is a contact herbicide and requires uni- form, thorough spray coverage. • Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the performance of Liberty 280 SL. • Necrosis of leaves and young shoots occurs within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions. • Liberty 280 SL is rainfast four (4) hours after application to most weed species; therefore, rainfall within four (4) hours may necessitate retreatment or may result in reduced weed control. Refer to specific use sections of this label for minimum intervals required before re- application of this product and use rates. 5 • Liberty® 280 SL herbicide requires sunlight for activity. Applications near dawn and dusk may result in reduced weed control. For best results, make applications between sunrise and 2 hours before sunset. • Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are under stress due to environmental conditions including drought, cool temperatures, or extended peri- ods of cloudiness. • To maximize weed control, DO NOT cultivate from 5 days before an application to 7 days after an application. • Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service or BASF representative for guidelines on the optimum appli- cation timing for Liberty 280 SL in your region. Rotational Crop Restrictions Rotational crop planting intervals following application of Liberty 280 SL with the exception of a potato vine desic- cation* are listed below. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in illegal residues in rotated crops. Rotational Crop Plant-back Interval (minimum rotational crop planting interval from last application) Canola, Corn, Sweet Corn, Cotton, Soybean, Sugar Beets, Fruiting Vegetables**, and Cucurbits** May be planted at any time Cover Crops*** 7 days Transplanted Perennial Crops on label (bushberries group 13-07B, citrus group 10-10, olives, pome fruit group 11-10, stone fruit group 12-12, tree nuts group 14-12, fruit, grape (table, wine and raisins), hops, and tropical and subtropical fruits 23B/24A/24B) 14 days Brassica Leafy Vegetables, Leafy Vegetables, Root and Tuber Vegetables, and Small Grains (barley, buckwheat, oats, rye, teosinte, triticale, and wheat) 70 days Other Crops 180 days (continued) Rotational Crop Restrictions (continued) * See Application Directions for Potato Vine Desiccation for rotational crop restrictions. ** For in crop applications for these crops, follow the respective Crop-Specific Application Information section of the label. *** Planting of cover crops for conservation purposes may be planted in fields previously treated with Liberty 280 SL as long as these cover crops are not grazed by livestock nor harvested for food. For best results, DO NOT plant cover crops less than 7 days after an application of Liberty 280 SL nor before 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation has occurred. Planting sooner than this may result in stand reduction. Plant- ing of crops listed in the Rotational Crop Restrictions that follow the listed planting intervals and other restrictions are considered a rotational crop and therefore may be harvested. Resistance Management Liberty 280 SL is a Group 10 herbicide, i.e., a glutamine synthetase inhibitor. A given weed population may contain or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The following integrated weed management techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resis- tance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective. Contact your local BASF representative, crop advisor or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and the growth to determine if the intended application will be effective. Fields should be scout- ed after application to verify that the treatment was effective. Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators: • Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; • A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. Report an incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your local extension spe- cialists, certified crop advisor and/or BASF representative. • Rotate crops - Crop rotation diversifies weed management. • Rotate herbicide-resistant traits - Alternate herbicide-resistant (HR) traits and/or use HR trait stacks for more efficient rotation. • Use multiple herbicide sites of action - Use tank mix partners and multiple sites of action during both the 6 growing season and from year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single site of action. • Know your weeds. Know your fields - Closely moni- tor problematic areas with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations. • Start with clean fields - Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to planting. • Stay clean. Use residual herbicides - Regardless of tillage system, preemergence or early postemergence soil-applied residual herbicides should be used when possible. • Apply herbicides correctly - Ensure proper applica- tion, including timing, full use rates and appropriate spray volumes. • Control weed escapes - Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed produc- tion and improve weed management. • Zero tolerance. Reduce the seed bank - DO NOT allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help decrease weed populations from year to year and pre- vent major weed shifts. • Clean equipment - Prevent the spread of herbicide- resistant weeds and their seeds. • Manage borders. Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing borders. • Scout fields. • Diversified approach. To the extent possible, use a diversified approach towards weed management. When- ever possible, incorporate multiple weed-control practices including mechanical cultivation, biological management practices or crop rotation. Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advi- sory and/or BASF representative for additional resistance management or IPM recommendation. Also for more infor- mation on weed resistance management, visit the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) on the web at http://www.hracglobal.com. Weeds Controlled For best results, apply to emerged, small and actively growing weeds less than 3 inches in height. Warm tem- peratures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the performance of Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide. Uniform, thorough spray coverage of weeds is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. Refer to the Application Equipment section for more details. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress including drought or cool tempera- tures and in dense populations. Stressed conditions may also include prior treatments of other contact or systemic herbicides. Regrowth of weeds may occur due to the weed stage of growth at application, use rate, or environmental conditions at the time of application. When any of these conditions exist, select a higher rate within the label rate range to improve weed control. Table 1.

The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows: 1. Place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1-quart jar. 2. For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar. 3. For each 16 fl ozs of a liquid tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar. 4. For each 16 fl ozs of Liberty 280 SL to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar. 5. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten. Invert 10 times to mix. 10 6. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners are not compatible, DO NOT use the mixture in a spray tank. 7. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section of this label. Mixing Instructions Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding Liberty 280 SL to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previ- ously used (see Cleaning Instructions ). It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are regis- tered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and precautions and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Tank Mix Instructions. Liberty 280 SL may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other prod- ucts provided these other products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treat- ed. The tank mix partner must be used in accordance with the label restrictions and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Liberty 280 SL cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Refer to the specific crop section for rates and other restrictions. Mixing Instructions for Liberty 280 SL 1. Start with properly calibrated and clean equipment. 2. Fill the spray tank half full with water. 3. Start agitation. 4. If mixing with a flowable/wettable powder tank mix part- ner, prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small amount of water. Add the slurry to the spray tank. 5. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank if needed. 6. If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid mix partner next. 7. Complete filling the spray tank with water before add- ing Liberty 280 SL, as foaming may occur. 8. Add Liberty 280 SL when tank is full and continue agitation. 9. If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based anti-foam agent. Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by flushing out the spray system lines before starting the crop application. If tank mix partners listed on this label are added, maintain thorough agitation at all times until contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger. Cleaning Instructions Prior To Liberty 280 SL Use Before using Liberty 280 SL, thoroughly clean bulk stor- age tank, refillable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and filter particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used. Equipment must be thoroughly rinsed using a commercial tank cleaner and as instructed on the prior herbicide label. After Liberty 280 SL Use After using Liberty 280 SL, triple rinse the spray equip- ment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before using the equipment for a new application. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide disposal directions on this label. Application Instructions Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control with Liberty 280 SL. Ground Application • Apply early when weeds are small with directed rates as identified in the Weeds Controlled section. • Apply Liberty 280 SL in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. Increase to 20 gallons of water per acre for better coverage of large weeds, dense foliage, or when using larger spray droplets. Nozzle Selection Apply with nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1 unless otherwise mandated by tank mix product. Addition of some drift retardants can significantly increase the droplet size and reduce spray coverage and efficacy. If a drift retardant is used, ensure that it is compatible for use with Liberty 280 SL and spray equipment being used. Aerial Application • Apply early when weeds are small with directed rates as identified in the Weeds Controlled section. • Apply Liberty 280 SL in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. • See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Liberty 280 SL. Application Restrictions • DO NOT apply when winds are gusty or when condi- tions will favor movement of spray particles off the desired spray target. See the Spray Drift Management 11 section of this label for additional information on proper application of Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide . • DO NOT use flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, or air-assisted spray equipment. Adjuvant Instructions • Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be used at 1.5 lbs/A to 3 lbs/A. Rates are dependent on tank mix partners, environmental conditions, temperatures and potential for leaf burn. • AMS has shown to improve weed con trol of difficult- to-control weeds, like velvetleaf and lambsquarters, under difficult environmental conditions (low relative humidity) or hard water. • Anti-foam agent is advised. • No additional surfactant is needed with any tank mix partner. The use of additional surfactants or crop oils may increase the risk of crop response. Please refer to the surfac tant label for more detailed information. Mandatory Spray Drift Mitigation • When applying to crops via aerial application equip- ment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. • When applying to crops via aerial application equip- ment, applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. • For aerial applications, DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety. • For ground applications and aerial applications, select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1. • Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing, but DO NOT exceed a boom height of 24 inches above target pest or crop canopy. Set boom to lowest effective height over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment manufacturer’s directions. Automated boom height controllers are recommended with large booms to better maintain optimum nozzle to canopy height. Excessive boom height will increase the potential for spray drift. Advisory Spray Drift Language • Pollinator Advisory Statement - This product con- tains a herbicide. Follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treated site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinators. • 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. • 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. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an appli- cator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVI- RONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind; Temperature and Humidity ; and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Techniques for Controlling Droplet Size • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures specified 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. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz- zles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. AVOID- ING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. • Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (including disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back pro- duce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential. Therefore, a shorter boom length is recommended. • Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift. Boom Height. Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 12 Drift Reduction Technology (DRT). The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of DRTs should result in significant- ly less pesticide from spray applications drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by those applications, compared to spray technologies that do not meet the mini- mum DRT standard. EPA-verified drift reduction technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the following webpage as they become available: https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified- and-rated-drift-reduction-technologies. Wind. Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equip- ment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. NOTE: Local terrain can influ- ence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity. When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. Temperature Inversions. Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict verti- cal air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concen- trated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature 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 identi- fied by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves lat- erally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Shielded Sprayers. Shielding the boom or individual noz- zles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

Application Methods to non Glufosinate- resistant Cotton Application of Liberty 280 SL to non glufosinate-resistant cotton varieties requires the use of hooded spray equip- ment designed to minimize exposure of the spray to the cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto weeds, while shielding the cotton stand from contact. Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjusted to protect desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray. With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop from the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skim- ming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground. If the hoods are raised, spray parti- cles may escape and come into contact with the cotton, causing damage or destruction of the crop. Herbicide rates and spray volume instructions are present- ed as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in proportion to the area actually treated. Use the following formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per planted (field) acre: Band width in inches x Broadcast RATE per acre = Amount of banded product needed per acreRow width in inches Band width in inches x Broadcast spray VOLUME per acre = Banded spray volume needed per acreRow width in inches Postharvest - Fall Burndown Liberty 280 SL may be applied as a postharvest burn- down treatment to fields (after cotton harvest). Up to 43 fl ozs/A of Liberty 280 SL may be applied in a single appli- cation to control larger weeds growing in the crop at the time of harvest.

Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sun- light improve the performance of Liberty 280 SL . Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to drought or cool temperatures. Weeds under stress or in dense populations will require application at the highest specified label use rate. Stressed conditions also include prior treatments of other contact or systemic herbicides. DO NOT retreat these weeds with Liberty 280 SL until sufficient regrowth has occurred. Apply Liberty 280 SL as a directed spray to control unde- sirable vegetation in perennial fruit, nut, and berry crops. Apply as a broadcast, banded, or spot treatment application depending on the situation to control weeds listed under the heading Table 1. Weeds Controlled. Avoid direct spray or drift to desirable vegetation. Regrowth may occur due to the weed stage of growth at application, low use rate, or envi- ronmental conditions. Repeat applications of Liberty 280 SL may be necessary to control plants gener- ating from underground parts or seed. Avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur to bearing and nonbearing perennial fruit, nut, and berry crops. Only spray trunks with callused, mature brown bark unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes, or waxed containers.

Application Directions for Potato Vine Desiccation Application Rate and Timing Apply Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide at the beginning of nat- ural senescence of potato vines and when petiole nitrate levels are below 15,000 ppm. Apply 21 fl ozs/A. DO NOT split this application or apply more than one application per harvest. Potato varieties with heavy or dense vines may require an application of an additional desiccation product to complete vine desiccation. Thorough coverage of the potato vines to be desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of water (20 to 100 gpa) to obtain thorough coverage of the potato vines. Vary the gallons of water per acre and the spray pressure as indi- cated by the density of the potato vines to assure thorough spray coverage. Increase the spray volume to at least 30 gallons of water per acre when the potato vine canopy is dense or under cool and dry conditions. Apply Liberty 280 SL with the spray boom as low as possible to achieve thorough coverage of the potato vines for best control and to minimize drift potential. The use of additives or adjuvants may improve the perfor- mance of Liberty 280 SL in desiccating potatoes. However, the combination of Liberty 280 SL with adju- vants, other than ammonium sulfate (AMS), have been known to cause injury in potatoes under specific conditions and in certain geographies. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the user assumes all risks associated with adding adjuvants, other than AMS, to the Liberty 280 SL spray solution. BASF cannot be held responsible for crop injury on potatoes when using these adjuvants. Restrictions to the Directions for Use in Potato Vine Desiccation • DO NOT make more than 1 application per year to pota- to vines. • DO NOT apply more than 21 fl ozs/A (0.38 lb ai/A) per application per year to potato vines. • DO NOT harvest potatoes until 9 days or more after application of Liberty 280 SL. • DO NOT apply to potatoes grown for seed. • Potatoes, canola, corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beets may be planted at any time after the application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato vine desiccant. • DO NOT plant treated areas to barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, triticale, and wheat until 30 or more days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato vine desiccant. • DO NOT plant treated areas to root and tuber vegeta- bles, leafy vegetables, and Brassica vegetables until 70 days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato vine desiccant. • DO NOT plant treated areas to crops other than those listed in this use restrictions section until 120 or more days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato vine desiccant.
