3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION Sequence Herbicide is a foliar systemic herbicide which may be applied to control a broad spectrum of actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. It will also provide residual control of many grass and small seeded broadleaf weeds, in:
x Corn (preplant/preemergence to all corn, postemergence to glyphosate resistant corn) x Cotton (preplant/preemergence to all cotton, postemergence to glyphosate resistant cotton) x Legume vegetables -- succulent or dried (preplant and preemergence) x Peanut (preplant and preemergence) x Sorghum (preplant and preemergence) x Soybean, (preplant/preemergence to all soyb eans; postemergence to glyphosate resistant soybeans) x Sugar beet, (postemergence to glyphosate-resistant sugar beet) x Sunflower (preplant and preemergence) x Tomato – transplanted (preplant)
This product needs to be activated with either rainfall or irrigation to provide residual control of certain weeds. If rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 days after application, residual weed control may be reduced. Under these conditions, cultivate or use other weed control measures if weeds develop.
This product is especially useful in no-till, minimum-tillage, and reduced-tillage cropping systems.
Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of this product to any vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non-woody roots, or fruit) of crops, trees, and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as specified for glyphosate resistant crops. Drift may cause damage to any non-target vegetation.

3.1 Weed Resistance Management
GLYPHOSATE GROUP 9 HERBICIDE S-METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
Sequence Herbicide contains glyphosate which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS, Site of Action Group 9) and S-metolachlor which inhibits very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis (Site of Action Group 15). Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 and/or Group 15 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides or lower than labeled use rates in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype may be present where poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance.
3.1.1 Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed Management Scout and know your field • Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all weeds present. • Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing for the weeds present in the field. Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity • Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate. Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean • Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness. • Plant into weed-free fields ut ilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for control of emerged weeds. • Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to leaving fields. Difficult to control weeds • Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management practices. • Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
Sequence Herbicide Page 11
Do not overuse the technology • Do not use more than two applications of th is or any other herbicide with the same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to control weeds. Scout and inspect fields following application • Prevent an influx of weeds into the fi eld by controlling weeds in field borders. • Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected herbicide resistant weeds ma y be identified by these indicators o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; o A spreading patch of non-controlled plan ts of a particular weed species; and o Surviving plants mixed with controll ed individuals of the same species. • Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production. Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest • Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production. Resistant Weeds x Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product are present in your area. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple modes of action. Premixes are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredients in this product. If resistant biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and tank-mix with an additional different mode of action product so there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 4.1 Methods of Application Applications with Sequence Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground and by air. Preplant, preemergence and postemergence applications are allowed as specified in Section 9.0 unless otherwise restricted in Section 7.0. For aerial application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional requirements for aerial treatments.
Sequence Herbicide Page 12
4.2 Application Equipment x For best results, ensure that each specific aerial application vehicle used is quantifiably pattern tested for aerial application of Sequence Herbicide initially and every year thereafter. x Configure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area and minimize potential for spray drift. x To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer be fore each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment manufacturers and/or state recommendations. x Use sprayers that provide accurate and un iform application with nozzles designed to minimize drift and provide uniform coverage. For most effective control, select nozzles and pressures to deliver coarse to very coarse droplets. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage. x Avoid using screens and strainers finer than 50 mesh. x All ground and aerial application equipment must be properly maintained. x All equipment must be washed to remove product residues after use. x Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and possible failure of the part.
In addition to the above statements, for aerial application equipment: x The maintenance of an organic coating (pa int) which meets aerospace specification MIL- C-38413 may prevent corrosion. x To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thorou ghly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. x Landing gear are most susceptible to corrosion.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage x For ground application, apply alone or in ta nk mixtures in 10-40 gal/A of spray mixture unless otherwise specified. x When weed vegetation is dense, increas e spray volume and pressures to ensure coverage of the target weeds. x Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target weeds. x For aerial application, apply alone or in tank mixtures in 3-15 gal/A of spray mixture.
4.4 Mixing Directions

proper disposal methods, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office.
4.4.1 Sequence Herbicide Alone
- Fill the spray tank ½ full with clean water.
- Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
- Add AMS (if used).
- Add Sequence Herbicide.
- Fill the remainder of spray tank.
4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions x It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations 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. x Tank mixes with other pesticides, fertilize rs, or any other additives not specifically labeled for use with Sequence Herbicide may result in tank-mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance. In such cases, always check tank-mix compatibility by conducting a jar test according to guidance in Section 4.4.3 before actual tank mixing.
4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility Test x Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt contai ner with lid by adding water or other intended carrier such a liquid fertilizer to the jar. x Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticide s(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative proportions based on recommended label rates. Add tank-mix components separately in the order described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. x After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10 times to mix. x After mixing, let the mixture stand 15 –30 minutes and then examine for signs of incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily film on the jar. x If the mixture remains mixed or can be remix ed readily, it is physically compatible and can be used. x If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the recommended rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use the mixture. x After compatibility testing is complete, dispos e of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the storage and disposal section, Section 10.0, of this label.
4.4.4 Sequence Herbicide in Tank Mixtures
- Fill the spray tank ½ full with clean water.
- Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.

6.0 COVER CROPS A cover crop can be an important tool for the overall farm cropping system. Cover crops are planted for conservation purposes, soil erosion control, soil health improvement, water quality improvement and weed management. A cover crop can be a single crop or a combination of crops, including grasses and/or broadleaf crops.
After harvest of a Sequence Herbicide treated crop, planting of a cover crop is allowed provided the cover crop is not grazed or fed to livestock nor harvested for food. Terminate the cover crop through natural causes such as frost or intentional termination by herbicide application, crimping, rolling, tillage or cutting.
All possible cover crops or cover crop combinations have not been tested for tolerance to this product. Before planting the cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended cover crops by conducting a field bioassay. Refer to Section 6.1 for instructions on how to conduct a field bioassay.
6.1 Field Bioassay for Cover Crops A field bioassay is a method of determining if herbicide residues are present in the soil at concentrations high enough to adversely affect crop growth.
Conduct the field bioassay by planting several strips of the desired cover crop across the field which has been previously treated with Sequence Herbicide. Plant the cover crop strips perpendicular to the direction of the product application. Locate the strips so that all the different field conditions are encountered, including differences in field terrain, soil texture, organic matter, pH, and drainage.
If the cover crop does not show adverse effects such as crop injury and/or stand reduction, the field can be planted to this cover crop. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, wait two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay. Alternatively, select a different cover crop and repeat the bioassay. Only plant cover crops that show acceptable tolerance in the field bioassay.
7.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS 7.1 Use Restrictions x DO NOT sell, use or distribute this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in the State of New York. x DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. x DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed may cause spray to drift onto adjacent non-target areas. x DO NOT apply in conditions where excessive spray drift may occur. x If a cover crop is planted after a Sequence Herbicide treated crop, DO NOT graze or feed the cover crop to livestock nor harvest for food. x DO NOT apply to any body of water.
Sequence Herbicide Page 16
x DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target areas.
7.2 Use Precautions x Use of a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials may result in crop damage or clogging of the application device. x Sequence Herbicide requires actively growing green plant tissue to function fully. Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e. mowed, cut, or hailed on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases may result in reduced weed control. x Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity. x Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment. x Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control. x Avoid aerial application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained. x Avoid making applications under windy conditions. x Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result. x Before planting a cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended cover crop to Sequence Herbicide by conducting a field bioassay (Section 6.1). x Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner after each use. x Mix, store and apply spray solutions of Sequ ence Herbicide using only plastic, plastic- lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Do not store the concentrate in galvanized steel, aluminum, carbon steel, or unlined steel containers. x Avoid application to humans or animals. Ensure that flagmen and loaders avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. x To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: o Avoid treating powdery dry or light sa nd soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, ensure that the soil surface is first settled by rainfall or irrigation. o Avoid application to impervious substrat es, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. o Avoid use of use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat nontarget crops, unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. x Follow labeled rates for target weeds found in Section 8.1 – Section 8.3 to avoid crop injury and illegal residues or weed control failures.
7.3 MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT x AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. x The interaction of many equipment- and we ather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. x The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of equipment and weather-
Sequence Herbicide Page 17
related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive non-target plants is minimal. x This pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, non-target plants) is minimal (i.e., when the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area). x Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
7.3.1 Aerial Spray Drift Management
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641). x If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.3.2 Ground Boom Applications
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Ground Boom Applications x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Sequence Herbicide Page 18
7.3.3 Boomless Ground Application
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Boomless Ground Application x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all applications. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.4 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SIRES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
7.4.1 Importance of Droplet Size x An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. x While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drif t, the potential, for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
7.4.2 Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom x Volume – Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. x Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzles – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
7.4.3 Boomless Ground Application x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help reduce the potential for spray drift.
7.4.4 Handheld Technology Applications x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
7.4.5 Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles – follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
Sequence Herbicide Page 19
7.4.6 BOOMHEIGHT – Ground Boom x For ground equipment, the boom should re main level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
7.4.7 RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
7.4.8 SHIELDED SPRAYERS x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles ca n reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
7.4.9 Swath Adjustment x When applications are made with a crossw ind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up- and downwind edges of the field, compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Increase swath adjustment distance with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
7.4.10 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY x When making applications in hot and dry cond itions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
7.4.11 Temperature Inversions x Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. 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 inversion are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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 upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. x 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. x 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.
7.4.12 Wind x Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS SURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Sequence Herbicide Page 20
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wi nd patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
7.4.13 Sensitive Areas x Apply Sequence Herbicide only when the pot ential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
