2.6.1 Groundwater Advisory S-metolachlor and cloransulam-methyl are known to travel (seep or leach) through soil and can contaminate groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Metribuzin is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can contaminate groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Metribuzin has been found in groundwater as a result of agricultural use. Users are advised not to apply metribuzin where the water table (groundwater) is close to the surface and where the soils are very permeable, i.e., well-drained soils such as loamy sands. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.

2.6.2 Surface Water Advisory This product contains S-metolachlor, metribuzin, and cloransulam-methyl which may contaminate or otherwise impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water or spray drift. 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 and aquatic sediment via runoff for several weeks or months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of S-metolachlor, metribuzin, and chloransulam-methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. 2.6.3 Non-Target Organism Advisory This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. 2.6.4 Reporting Ecological Incidents To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 1-800-888-8372. 2.6.5 Mixing/Loading/Application Instructions Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates. Use check-valves or anti-siphoning devices on all mixing and/or irrigation equipment. • This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft of perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. • This product may not be mixed, loaded, or used within 50 ft of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes.

7

• Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 ft of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. o Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. o Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. o The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. o An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. o A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. • Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. 2.7 Physical or Chemical Hazards Do not use with or store near any oxidizing or reducing agents. Hazardous reaction could occur.

3.1 Resistance Management S-METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE METRIBUZIN GROUP 5 HERBICIDE CLORANSULAM-METHYL GROUP 2 HERBICIDE

To reduce the potential for herbicide resistance issues, the end use product, A23372 Herbicide label contains the following label language that provides the user with information on resistant weed management. A23372 Herbicide contains the active ingredients S-metolachlor which inhibits the formation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA, Site of Action Group 15), metribuzin which inhibits the photosynthetic pathway of photosystem II (PSII, Site of Action Group 5), and cloransulam- methyl which inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS inhibitor, Site of Action Group 2). Some naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 2, 5 and 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.

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 utilizing 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.

10

• 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 difficult to control weeds.

Scout and inspect fields following application • Prevent an influx of weeds into the field 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 plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. • Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta representative, or call 1-866-Syngent (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 • 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 A23372 Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground and by air. Preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence applications are allowed as

11

specified in Section 9.0. For band-application refer to Section 4.1.1 to calculate the amount of herbicide needed.

It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and 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.

4.1.1 Band Application Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the following formula: Band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed Row width in inches per acre per acre of field

4.2 Application Equipment • Spray equipment configuration should be arranged to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area and minimize potential for spray drift. • All ground, aerial, application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers. • For aerial applications, use low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. • For ground applications with tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. • For preplant incorporated application, use an implement such as a disk, field cultivator, rolling cultivator, or similar implement capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Incorporation of A23372A may reduce control grass and broadleaf weed control.

4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage • For ground application, apply alone or in tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gal/A of spray mixture unless otherwise specified. • For aerial application, apply alone or in tank mixtures in a minimum total volume of 2 gal/A of spray mixture.

4.4 Mixing Directions

1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning solution in a responsible manner.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.
3. Agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray mixture.
4. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.

12

4.4.1 A23372 Herbicide Alone

1. Add 1/3 of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add A23372 Herbicide into the spray tank.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water or fluid fertilizer.
4. Begin application of the spray solution after the A23372 Herbicide has completely dispersed in the water or fluid fertilizer.
5. Maintain agitation until all the mixture has been applied.

4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions • 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. User must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. • Check compatibility (Section 4.4.3) with other pesticides and/or liquid fertilizers before mixing in spray tank.

NOTE: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer and pesticides. 4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility • Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt container with lid by adding water or other intended carrier such a liquid fertilizer to the jar. • Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticides(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative proportions based on specified 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. • After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10 times to mix. • 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. • If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and can be used. • If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the specified 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. • After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the storage and disposal section, Section 10.0, of this label.

4.4.4 A23372 Herbicide In Tank Mixtures

1. Add 1/3 of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the mix tank.
2. Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix partners.

13

3. Check the tank mix partner label for any specific instructions pertaining to the tank- mix partner.
4. Add all products in water-soluble packaging to the tank first and mix with plain water before any other tank mix partner, including A23372 Herbicide. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank. Water-soluble packets will not properly dissolve in most spray solutions that contain fluid fertilizers.
5. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order:
6. Products packaged in water-soluble packaging
7. Wettable powders
8. Wettable granules
9. Dry flowables
10. Liquid flowables
11. Liquids such as A23372 Herbicide
12. Emulsiable concentrates.
13. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product.
14. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
15. Maintain agitation until all the mixture has been applied.

[Note to Reviewer: Section 4.5 (Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers) is included as optional text.] 4.5 Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with A23372 Herbicide alone or selected A23372 Herbicide tank mixtures which are registered to control weeds in crops on the A23372 Herbicide label and are not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. When applying A23372 Herbicide or A23372 Herbicide mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use, restrictions and precautions on the respective product labels, regarding target crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including timing of application), and rotational crops. Complying with all individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application is the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the herbicide/fertilizer mixture. 4.5.1 Preparation of Herbicide/Fertilizer Mixtures • Use any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. • Place the nozzles used to spray A23372 Herbicide and A23372 Herbicide mixtures onto the fertilizer in such a way as to provide uniform spray coverage. • Use care to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying the walls of the blender. • If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material such as Agsorb® FG or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture.

14

• Add absorptive materials only after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. • Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a size similar to that of the fertilizer materials being used. • Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be needed. • Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight. • Calculate amounts of A23372 Herbicide to be used by the following formula:

2,000 X pt. of A23372 Herbicide = pt. of A23372 Herbicide lbs. of fertilizer per acre per acre per ton of fertilizer

4.5.2 Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application • High humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixture to build up or plug the distributor head, air tubes, or nozzle deflector plates. • To minimize buildup, premix A23372 Herbicide with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 2.0- 2.5 pt/gal of A23372 Herbicide. • Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. • Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct injection systems. • Do not use drying agents when using Aromatic 200.

4.5.3 Precautions • Use mixtures of A23372 Herbicide and Aromatic 200 on dry fertilizer only. • Poor results or crop injury may result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying applications. • When impregnating A23372 Herbicide in a blender before application, a drier mixture can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. • The use of Agsorb® FG or another drying agent of 6/30 particle size is recommended. • Drying agents are not recommended for use with On-The-Go impregnation equipment.

TO AVOID POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION: o Do not impregnate A23372 Herbicide on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. o Do not combine A23372 Herbicide with a single superphosphate (1-20-0) or triple superphosphate (0-46-0). o Do not use A23372 Herbicide on straight limestone, since absorption will not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated.

4.5.4 Application Instructions

1. Apply 200-700 lb of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre.
2. For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending.

3. Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential in order to prevent possible crop injury to subsequent rotational crops.
4. Non-uniform application may also result in unsatisfactory weed control. To obtain satisfactory weed control in areas where conventional tillage is practiced, shallowly incorporate the mixture into the soil.
5. On fine- or medium-textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil.
6. On coarse-textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting.

Precaution: To help avoid rotational crop injury, make applications as early as possible, since A23372 Herbicide impregnated onto dry bulk fertilizers can be expected to last longer in the soil than A23372 Herbicide applied as a spray in water or fluid fertilizer. [End of optional text]

4.6 Sprayer Cleanout Because some non-labeled crops are sensitive to low rates of A23372 Herbicide, special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than those registered for use and on this label. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using the following procedure:

1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of one gal. of household ammonia per 50 gal. of water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used as well. Consult your Syngenta representative for a partial listing of approved tank cleaners and more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners such as Clorox®.
3. When available, use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly re-circulate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution.
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in a responsible manner (see Section 10.0).
6. Repeat steps 2-5.
7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

5.0 REPLANT AND ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS 5.1 Replanting If replanting is necessary in fields previously treated with A23372 Herbicide, the field may be replanted to soybeans. Before replanting, refer to the specific crop use section for use directions, precautions and restrictions.

5.2 Rotational Crop Restrictions The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of A23372 Herbicide. Crop Plant-Back Interval Soybeans Anytime Wheat, Winter 4½ Months Alfalfa Beans, Snap Corn, Field Corn, Pop Corn, Seed Rice Wheat, Spring 9 Months

Barley, Spring Barley, Winter Beans, Lima Cotton Oats Peas Peanuts Sorghum 12 Months Corn, Sweet Tobacco Other Crops Not Listed 18 Months Sugarbeets Sunflower 30 Months Precaution • Crop rotation restrictions do not include restrictions for the tank mix partners. Refer to the label of tank mix partners for additional restrictions. • Cover crops for soil building or erosion control may be planted any time but do not graze or harvest for food or feed. Stand reductions may occur in some areas. • Corn inbred lines grown for hybrid seed production may be injured the growing season following an application of A23372A. Inbred lines should be thoroughly tested to ensure crop tolerance before rotating to seed corn in the growing season following an application of A23372A. ROTATIONAL CROPS USE RESTRICTIONS

1. Sugar beets and sunflower require a 30-month rotation interval and a successful field bioassay. Field Bioassay Instructions: a. 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 crop across the field which been previously treated with A23372A herbicide. i. Plant the crop strips perpendicular to the direction of the product application.

17

ii. Locate the strips so that all the different field conditions are encountered, including differences in field terrain, soil texture, organic matter, pH, and drainage. iii. If the crop does not show adverse effects including crop injury and/or stand reduction, the field can be planted to this crop. iv. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, wait two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay. v. Only plant crops that show acceptable crop safety in the field bioassay.

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 A23372 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 A23372 Herbicide. Plant the cover crop strips perpendicular to the direction of the product application. The strips should be located 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 • DO NOT sell, use or distribute this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in the State of New York. • DO NOT make aerial applications of this product in New York State. • DO NOT use this product on soybeans in the State of California. • DO NOT apply this product within 50 ft of perennial or intermittent streams and rivers. • Aerial applicators must be in enclosed cockpits. • DO NOT apply near desirable vegetation and allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure. Avoid all direct or indirect contact with non-target plants. • DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. • DO NOT apply this product to frozen ground. • DO NOT use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product. • DO NOT use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, or crop damage or clogging of the application device may result. • DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during applications. • DO NOT use low-pressure, high volume hand-wand equipment to apply this product. • DO NOT make more than one application during a single year. • DO NOT apply more than 2.35 qt of A23372 Herbicide per acre per year (2.04 lb S- metolachlor, 0.04 lb cloransulam-methyl, 0.38 lb metribuzin).

7.2 Use Precautions • Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target areas. • To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: o Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, settle the soil surface first by rainfall or irrigation. o Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. o Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops, unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. • Activation: A small amount of rainfall or irrigation is required to activate A23372 Herbicide following application. In areas of low rainfall, follow a preemergence application with light irrigation of ¼ to ½ inch of water. Do not apply heavy irrigation immediately after application. As with many surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil texture. • Avoid aerial application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

19

• Iron Chlorosis: There are isolated geographic areas where soil-induced iron chlorosis routinely occurs. In these areas, the severity of iron chlorosis symptoms or other nutrient induced crop injury may increase when A23372 is applied. 7.3 Spray Drift Management

As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement onto adjacent land or crops, as even small amounts may injure sensitive plants. To reduce spray drift, the following spray drift management requirements must be followed.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Ground Boom Applications • User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. Aerial Applications • Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641). • 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. • 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. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.

7.3.1 Spray Drift Advisories

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

20

7.3.2 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 potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 7.3.3 Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • 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. • Pressure - use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. 7.3.4 Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • 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. 7.3.5 Boom Height - Ground Boom • For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 7.3.6 Boom Height - Aircraft • Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. 7.3.7 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. 7.3.8 Temperature and Humidity • When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation

7.3.9 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.

21

• 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. 7.3.10 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. 7.3.11 Sensitive Areas • Only apply A23372 Herbicide when the potential 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 blowing away from the sensitive areas). 7.3.12 Handheld Technology Applications • Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

8.0 WEEDS CONTROLLED OR PARTIALLY CONTROLLED BY A23372 HERBICIDE 8.1 Weeds Controlled by A23372 Herbicide in Soybeans Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. Control of these weeds can be erratic, due partially to variable weather conditions.

Nutsedge, yellow Cyperus esculentus Sedge C Procedures that might improve control of weeds listed above: • Thoroughly till soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds or use a suitable burndown herbicide. • If A23372 Herbicide is to be used preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting.

24

Common Name Scientific Name Weed Type Control (C) or Partial Control (PC) • If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply ½-1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (½ inch) on coarse textured soils and higher volume (1 inch) on fine textured soils. • If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days after planting and application, weed control may be decreased. Under these conditions, make a uniform, shallow cultivation as soon as weeds emerge or apply an appropriately labeled herbicide to control emerged weeds.

9.0 CROP USE DIRECTIONS SOIL TEXTURES Where rates are based on coarse, medium-, or fine-textured soils, it is understood that soil textural classes are generally categorized as follows: Coarse Medium Fine Loamy sand Sand Sandy loam Loam Silt Silt loam Sandy clay Sandy clay loam Clay Clay loam Silty clay Silty clay loam Silty clay • Silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium -textured soils in some regions of the U.S. When using A23372 Herbicide, treat this soil as “fine-textured”.

Foundation Program for Planned 2-Pass Weed Control Systems A23372 herbicide may be applied preplant incorporated or preemergence on all soils to reduce competition from the weeds listed in Section 8.0 when followed by a planned postemergence weed control treatment. Permitted postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field including glyphosate, glufosinate, dicamba, or 2,4-D brands. Follow all application directions for A23372 herbicide used alone, either preplant incorporated or preemergence. For the postemergence herbicide application, consult the selected postemergence herbicide manufacturer’s label for weeds controlled, weed size, application rate, additional use directions, precautions, and limitations before use.

Preplant Incorporated

Preemergence For all applications use the rate for the specific soil texture as follows:

Coarse Soil: 1.2-1.50 qt/A

Medium Soil: 1.50-2.10 qt/A

Fine Soil: 1.75-2.35 qt/A

Please see “Use Precautions” section for additional information regarding applications on coarse soils. Dry weather following preplant or preemergence application of A23372 herbicide may reduce effectiveness.

Where a rate range is listed, use the higher rates (a) in fields with a history of severe weed pressure, (b) when the time between early preplant and preemergence overlay applications reaches30 days, (c) when the organic matter content of the soil is over 3%, and/or (d) when heavy crop residues are present on the soil surface.

Preplant Surface Application: A23372 herbicide may be applied up to 30-45 days before planting.

For applications earlier than 30 days before planting the high rate in the rate range may be needed for extended residual control.

If weeds are present at time of application, burndown herbicides may be added to the tank mixes (see Burndown Weed Control information section 9.1.2 below). Refer to the tank mix product labels for specific rates and use directions.

Preplant Incorporated Application: Apply within 14 days of planting.

Apply to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of soil using an implement capable of providing uniform incorporation.

Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected.

If crop will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate after bed formation, unless specified otherwise.
