Rainfall or irrigation within 4 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy
rainfall or irrigation within 2 hours may require retreatment.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
See CHEMICAL FAllOW-ECOFAllOW SYSTEMS Section for Use Directions specific
for this use.
Timing
TOUCHDOWN 6 should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds
of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. Generally. perennial
weedS should be treated at the flowering or seedhead stage.
When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed. wait for 3-4 inches of new growth to
appear prior to application. When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed. allow
new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application.
Rates
Follow recommended rates for TOUCHDOWN 6 listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED
section. Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense or large. Use higher
application volumes and pressures when weed vegetation is dense.
Tankmlxes with Residual Herbicides
Refer to crop sections for recommended tankmixes. It is recommended that the
compatibility of any tankmix combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test
before actual tank mixing. Tankmixes of TOUCHDOWN 6 with other pesticides.
fertilizers. or any other additives except as specified on this label or other approved
Syngenta supplemental labeling may result in tankmix incompatibility or unsatisfactory
performance.
For Control of Annual Weeds with a Tankmlx: Apply TOUCHDOWN 6 at 1-1/3 pints
for the control of annual weeds that are less than 12 inches tall and actively growing.
When annual weeds are taller than 12 inches or under stress. use 2 pints of
TOUCHDOWN 6 herbicide.
For Control of Perennial Weeds with a Tankmlx: Apply TOUCHDOWN 6 at 2 to
5-1/3 pints for the control or suppression of perennial weeds. Refer to the WEEDS
CONTROLLED section for application rates and timing for specific perennial weeds.
Perennial weeds may require multiple applications for control. If multiple applications
are required. then no more than 5-1/3 pints of TOUCHDOWN 6 should be appHed"er!

label for recommendations.
In general, TOUCHDOWN 6, should be tank mixed as follows:
1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
3. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank.
4. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank.
5. Add TOUCHDOWN 6 and non ionic surfactantlwetting agent to tank.
6. Fill remainder of spray tank.
~" Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions
which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive
of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
mixing.
SPRAY ADDITIVES
SurfactantslWettlng Agents
A nonionic surfactant or wetting agent (approved for use on growing crops) IS
REQUIRED with TOUCHDOWN 6 to improve coverage of weed foliage. All nonionic
surfactants or wetting agents should contain at least 50% active ingredient unless
otherwise indicated. (See Chemical Fallow-Ecofallow section for spray additive
information speCific for this use). The concentration of active ingredient in a particular
surfactantlwetting agent will determine how much should be added to the tank. Refer to
table below for specific recommendations:

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT & TECHNIQUES
Broadcast Applications
Ground
Apply TOUCHDOWN 6 to actively growing weeds at the broadcast rates indicated in the
WEEDS CONTROLLED section. Applications should be made in 10 to 30 gallons of
water per acre with conventional spray equipment, or in 3 to 10 gallons per acre with
low volume equipment and in chemical fallow-ecofallow systems. Increase volumes if
weed foliage is dense.
Flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of TOUCHDOWN 6. Flat
fans should be used at 30 to 50 psi. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control
due to inadequate coverage.
Air
Apply TOUCHDOWN 6 plus surfactantlwetting agent to actively growing weeds by air
equipment in a minimum of 3 gallons of water per acre. Refer to the WEEDS
CONTROLLED section for rates and timing of application.
All aerial equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product
residues after use.
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with weed control and flight
safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the canopy should be avoided.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation of very small
droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away
from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom
pressure.
Drift control additives may be used with TOUCHDOWN 6. Read and follow the
manufacturer's directions for use.
Do not make aerial applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are
characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground.
The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and
observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
,
Do not apply when winds exceed 15 MPH or there are wind gusts as thi::; cou:d ·c·ause
drift to adjacent nontarget vegetation.

Spot Treatments
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.5% solution (TOUCHDOWN 6 plus
nonionic surfactantlwettlng agent in water). For annual weeds over 6 inches, use a 1 %
solution. Use a 2% solution for most perennials except as noted in the SPOT
TREATMENT OF HARD TO CONTROL WEEDS table. When using motorized spot
spray equipment (rider bar), use a 3% solution. Spray the solution on actively growing
weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21 days later if
regrowth occurs.

TOUCHDOWN 6 may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator for selective control
or suppression of annual and perennial weeds which become taller than the crop or
desirable vegetation. Mix 1 quart of TOUCHDOWN 6 in 1 gallon of water. Add nonionic
surfactanU wetting agent at 1 % vlv. Precautions should be taken to avoid contact with
crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should be operated at speeds of 5 mph or
less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For·improved control, make two
applications in opposite directions. Do not use wiper applications in corn or in bearing
grape vineyards.
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
• TOUCHDOWN 6 requires actively growing green plant tissue to function.
Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e., mowed
or cut weeds), may result in reduced weed control.
• Do not till or mow within 3 days following application.
• DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed
may cause spray to drift onto adjacent areas. Drift minimization is the responsibility
of the applicator. Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information
regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift. .
• It is recommended that the spray system be thoroughly cleaned with water and a
commercial tank cleaner after each use.

PERENNIAL GRASS SUPPRESSION IN ORCHARD FLOORS
BAHIAGRASS
TOUCHDOWN 6 can be used to inhibit seedhead emergence and suppress vegetative
growth for approximately 40 to 50 days with a single application. By using a sequential
application. suppression of vegetative growth and inhibition of seedhead emergence
can be extended to 120 days. Applications must be made prior to seedhead
emergence. Apply TOUCHDOWN 6 at 20 to 30 days after complete green-up or after
:~') mowing to 4 inches tall. When a single application is planned. use 4 fluid ounces of
TOUCHDOWN 6 per acre plus 0.5 to 1.0% vlv nonionic surfactantlwetting agent in 10 to
25 gallons of water. When a sequential application is planned. use 3 fluid ounces per
