Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 7

GENERAL INFORMATION

Axial TBC Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter wheat, and barley not underseeded with legumes.

Axial TBC Herbicide is absorbed by foliage and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems of target weeds. Actively growing susceptible grass and broadleaf weeds stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Typical symptoms (discoloration) of dying broadleaf weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 2 weeks after application. Susceptible grass weeds turn yellow within one to three weeks and are completely controlled within three to five weeks. Level and rate of control depend on weed species, growing conditions, crop competition, and coverage. Thorough spray coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.

Rainfastness

Axial TBC Herbicide is not affected by rain falling 4 hours or more after application.

Weed Resistance Management FLORASULAM GROUP 2 HERBICIDE PINOXADEN GROUP 1 HERBICIDE

Axial TBC Herbicide contains a Group 1 (ACCase inhibitor) herbicide and Group 2 (ALS inhibitor) herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 1 and 2 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides in the same field, may result in control failures. A resistant biotype may be present if poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative for assistance.

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 su ch as cover crops, mechanical weed control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate. Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 8

• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness. • Plant into weed-free fields utilizing til lage 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. Do not overuse the technology • Do not use more than two applications of this 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 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 plant s of a particular weed species; and • 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.

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 9

Resistant Weeds • 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.

Rotational Crop Restrictions

The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of Axial TBC Herbicide.

Crop Rotation Interval (Months) Barley, oats, wheat 0.5 Field corn, popcorn, seed corn, sweet corn, sorghum 4 Alfalfa, canola, chickpea, soybean, dry bean, pea, flax, lentil, potato, safflower, sugar beet, sunflower 9 Other crops not listed 12

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Timing of Application

Apply Axial TBC Herbicide to all varieties of spring wheat (excluding durum), winter wheat, and barley from the 3-leaf stage to pre-boot stage. Refer to the Crop Use Directions section for grazing and harvest restrictions.

Precaution: Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, disease damage, or insect damage as crop injury may result.

For optimum results, apply Axial TBC Herbicide to actively growing weeds. An early application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control following application of Axial TBC Herbicide alone or in combination with other herbicides can be reduced or delayed under conditions of stress, such as drought, heat, insufficient fertility, flooding, and prolonged cool temperatures. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of Axial TBC Herbicide is delayed until the conditions of stress have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. If foliage is wet at time of application, control may be decreased. Weeds emerging after Axial TBC Herbicide application will not be controlled.

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 10

USE RATE

Apply Axial TBC Herbicide at 8.85 oz./A + Adigor® Adjuvant at 9.6 oz./A in a minimum of 5 gallons up to 10 gallons of water per acre.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

AVOIDING INJURIOUS SPRAY DRIFT

This product can affect broadleaf plants directly through foliage and indirectly by root uptake from treated soil. Do not apply directly to, or allow spray drift to come into contact with, broadleaf crops including, but not limited to, alfalfa, canola, beans, cotton, flowers, grapes, lettuce, lentils, mustard, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables, or other desirable broadleaf crops or ornamental plants or soil where sensitive crops will be planted the same season. Make application only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Very small quantities of spray, which may be visible, may seriously injure crops, whether dormant or actively growing.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Aerial Applications: • 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. • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641). • If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed 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. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Ground Boom Applications: • User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES

x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE

An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 16

potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

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 Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft

x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.

BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom

Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft

Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS

Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can 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.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 17

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions 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 upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.

WIND

Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

For best accuracy, calibrate the sprayer before use.

Ground Applications

Water Volume - Use an application volume of 5-10 gallons of water per acre. Use 10 gallons of water per acre under dry conditions or dense weed populations. Application rates of greater than 10 gallons of water per acre should be avoided as reduced weed control may occur.

Spray Nozzles - 80° or 110° flat fan nozzles are recommended for optimum spray coverage. Nozzles must be uniformly spaced along the boom to provide accurate and uniform coverage. Point the nozzles forward in the direction of travel at an angle of 45° for optimum coverage of weeds. Follow the nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for pressure and screens. Do not use flood or hollow cone type nozzles.

Screens - Use a screen or strainer with 16-mesh or coarser on the suction side of the pump. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line unless using a roller or piston pump. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom and at the nozzles.

Pressure - 35-40 psi at the nozzles. Lower pressure may be used with extended range or low pressure nozzles.

Pump - Must have capacity to maintain pressure (35-40 psi) and to maintain the product suspension through tank agitation. A centrifugal pump is recommended with an agitation rate of 20 gals./minute/100 gals. tank size. Agitation must be maintained during mixing and spraying.

Axial TBC Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 100-1314 Page 18

Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control results. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure that the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid large spray overlaps which result in excessive rates in the overlap areas. Also, avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. To reduce spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable vegetation to prevent drift to nontarget areas. Boom height for broadcast over- the-top application should be based upon the free-standing height of the crop, not height above the soil surface, and should be at least 12 inches above the crop.

Aerial Applications

Apply Axial TBC Herbicide in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gals./A. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

Sensitive Areas

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.)

Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) of Axial TBC Herbicide with crops other than those specified for treatment on this label, since injury may occur.

Chemigation

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

MIXING PROCEDURES

Prior to using Axial TBC Herbicide, ensure that the spray tank, lines and screens and filters are thoroughly clean.

Mixing Instructions

1. Clean spray tank and half fill with clean water. Start agitation or bypass system.
2. If a broadleaf herbicide mix partner is to be used, add the product FIRST, prior to adding Axial TBC Herbicide and agitate for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add correct amount of Axial TBC Herbicide.
4. Agitate for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add correct amount of Adigor Adjuvant
6. Agitate for 1-2 minutes before adding remainder of water and then maintain constant agitation.
7. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again.
8. Use the spray solution as soon as it is prepared.
