ENGINEERING CONTROLS
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in
|
||
the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
|
||
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean
|
||
high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having “high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff”, according to the pesticide’s “mean” soil partition coefficient (Kd) for several
|
||
days after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is
|
||
applied and natural surface water features such as ponds, streams and springs will reduce potential loading
|
||
of Thiencarbazone-methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
|
||
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This
|
||
chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
|
||
water table is shallow.
|
||

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Varro® Herbicide:
|
||
• is applied as a postemergence foliar spray in winter wheat and spring wheat (including durum) for the control of
|
||
certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
• Weed infestations should be treated before they become competitive with the crop. Make applications to actively
|
||
growing weeds. Thorough coverage of weeds is necessary to obtain good weed control. Weed control may be
|
||
reduced when weeds are under stress due to severe weather conditions, drought, very cold temperatures, etc.
|
||
• Properly calibrate ground or aerial (fixed wing or helicopter) application equipment to apply Varro Herbicide
|
||
postemergence as a foliar spray. Use of nozzles and spray pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as
|
||
indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572 for optimum spray
|
||
coverage and canopy penetration.
|
||
• Avoid uneven spray distribution, skips, overlaps, and spray drift.

|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. Varro Herbicide should be applied in a minimum of 5 gallons of
|
||
water per broadcast acre. To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to
|
||
coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASABE standard
|
||
S-572. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles.
|
||
Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with
|
||
low drift nozzles. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where
|
||
excessive spray drift may occur.
|
||
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Varro
|
||
Herbicide.
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Apply Varro Herbicide broadcast in 10 or more gallons of water per acre.
|
||
To obtain uniform spray coverage, use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as
|
||
indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. Use screens that
|
||
are 50 mesh or larger. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper
|
||
application of Varro Herbicide.
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• Do not apply Varro Herbicide to crops undersown with grass or legume species.
|
||
• Do not make more than a total of one application of Varro Herbicide per 365 days.
|
||
• Do not apply more than 6.85 fl oz/acre of Varro Herbicide per 365 days.
|
||
• A 25 foot buffer for ground applications, or a 200 foot buffer for aerial applications, must be maintained
|
||
between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats
|
||
(including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrub lands),
|
||
sensitive freshwater habitats (including lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs
|
||
and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.
|
||
• Do not apply in combination with Dicamba containing products as grass control will be reduced.
|
||
• DO NOT apply Varro Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• Do not drain or rinse equipment near desirable vegetation.
|
||
• Do not apply to winter, spring or durum wheat after jointing.
|
||
• Do not harvest or graze wheat forage within 7 days after application.
|
||
• Do not harvest wheat for hay within 30 days after application.
|
||
• Do not harvest wheat for grain or straw within 60 days after application in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota,
|
||
or South Dakota; and within 70 days in all other states.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Avoid spray drift from treated areas. Refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional
|
||
information.
|
||
• Varro Herbicide is rainfast 1 hour after application to most weed species. Rainfall within 1 hour may result in
|
||
reduced weed control.
|
||
• Non-target plants may be adversely affected if the pesticide is allowed to drift from areas of application. To
|
||
prevent damage to crops and other desirable plants, read and follow all directions and precautions on this
|
||
label before using.
|
||
• Environmental conditions which support vigorous growth of crop and weeds also result in highest herbicidal
|
||
activity. Following application, symptoms of herbicidal activity may develop within several days. Speed of
|
||
action depends on environmental conditions and increases with increasing temperature and moisture.

|
||
• Applications of Varro Herbicide in winter, spring or durum wheat in combination with some EC herbicides may
|
||
cause crop response (see tankmix section).
|
||
• Applications during low temperatures (32 F° or lower), high temperatures (90 F° or greater), or to a crop under
|
||
drought stress can cause crop injury.
|
||
HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (WSSA) RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
For resistance management, Varro Herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop
|
||
plants naturally resistant to Varro Herbicide and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate
|
||
the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management
|
||
strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of Varro Herbicide or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
|
||
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance
|
||
in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target
|
||
weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified
|
||
crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
|
||
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control
|
||
methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the
|
||
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development.
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by
|
||
the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of
|
||
non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the
|
||
same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative
|
||
herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of
|
||
resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields,
|
||
and planting clean seed.
|
||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
|
||
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management
|
||
and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER
|
||
(1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report
|
||
resistance.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Varro Herbicide is not volatile. Damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift. Spray drift
|
||
can be managed by several application factors and by spraying under the appropriate climatic conditions.
|
||
Consequently, avoidance of spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator and grower.
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and grower. 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.
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.
|
||
Only apply this product when the potential for drift to adjacent non-target areas is minimal (e.g., when wind is
|
||
10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive areas).
|
||
To avoid potential adverse effects to non-target areas, you must maintain a 25 foot buffer for ground
|
||
applications, or a 200 foot buffer for aerial applications between the point of direct application and the
|
||
closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts,

|
||
woodlots hedgerows, riparian areas and shrub lands), sensitive freshwater habitats (including lakes, rivers,
|
||
sloughs, ponds, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.
|
||
Droplet Size
|
||
To obtain uniform spray coverage and reduce spray drift, equip sprayers with nozzles that provide medium to
|
||
coarse spray droplets as defined in ASABE Standard S572.1.
|
||
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. 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. Avoid
|
||
spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
|
||
• 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 recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower
|
||
pressure produces larger droplets. 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 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.
|
||
Wind Speed
|
||
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 must be avoided below 2 mph due to
|
||
variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
|
||
applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind
|
||
side, immediately prior to application.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions 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.
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
• The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom should not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor
|
||
diameter. To further reduce drift, use 1/2 the length of the wingspan or rotor diameter at the edge of a field.
|
||
• 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
|
||
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. (continued)

||

|

|
||
145 mm
|
||
• 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.).
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
• Apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
|
||
Compatibility
|
||
If Varro Herbicide is to be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers or other pesticides, compatibility should be tested
|
||
prior to mixing. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray,

Tank Mixtures for Insect Control
|
||
Varro Herbicide may be applied with Baythroid® XL, Mustang Max or Warrior® insecticides. Refer to the specific
|
||
insecticide label for use directions, application rates, restrictions and a list of insects controlled.
|
||
Order of Mixing
|
||
Varro Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding Varro Herbicide
|
||
to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned. In-line
|
||
strainers and nozzle screens should be 50 mesh or coarser.
|
||
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 full with clean water and begin agitation or bypass.
|
||
2. Add the specified rate of Varro Herbicide directly to the spray tank. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing
|
||
and application. DO NOT pre-slurry by adding any quantity of Varro Herbicide to a small amount of water.
|
||
3. Add a listed tank mix partner, if desired.
|
||
4. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed.
|
||
5. Continue agitation during Varro Herbicide application to ensure uniform spray coverage.
|
||
NOTE: Varro Herbicide may settle if left standing without agitation. If the spray solution is allowed to stand for
|
||
one hour or more, re-agitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before application.
|
||
Equipment Cleanup Procedures
|
||
1. Drain the tank completely, and then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
|
||
2. Half fill the tank with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of
|
||
1% (i.e., 1 gallon of domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Complete filling of the tank with water.
|
||
Agitate/recirculate and flush through boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
|
||
3. Repeat step 2.
|
||
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1% ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and
|
||
remove visible residues.
|
||
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat step 2.

Cover Crops
|
||
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression, etc.,
|
||
following harvest in the fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with Varro Herbicide is allowed
|
||
as long as these cover crops are not grazed by livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled
|
||
under or chemically controlled with burndown herbicides in the spring. Many cover crops can be planted within
|
||
90-120 days after application of Varro Herbicide. However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated
|
||
for tolerance to Varro Herbicide and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete a
|
||
successful field/ small scale bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance to the prior Varro Herbicide
|
||
application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section.
|
||
Field/Small Scale Bioassay
|
||
A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those specified in
|
||
the “Rotational Crop Restrictions” section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the
|
||
crop(s) you intend to grow the following season in a field previously treated with Varro Herbicide. The test strip
|
||
should be placed in a controlled area and should include low areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such
|
||
as type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown
|
||
safely in the areas previously treated with Varro Herbicide.
|
||
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the Varro Herbicide- treated
|
||
field and place the soil into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place
|
||
the container in a warm, sunny area to allow germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover
|
||
crop over a three to four week period. If the cover crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish and
|
||
grow the cover crop in the Varro Herbicide-treated field should be tolerable.
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED & PARTIALLY CONTROLLED
|
||
Varro Herbicide effectively controls the following weeds when applied at the application timings recommended
|
||
and when weeds are actively growing. Best control is achieved when grass weeds are treated between the
|
||
1-leaf to 2-tiller stage of growth and broadleaf weeds are between the 1-6 leaf stage of growth, unless otherwise
|
||
indicated. Varro Herbicide will have an effect on weeds that are larger than the recommended leaf stage;
|
||
however the speed of activity and level of control may be reduced.
