EPA File Symbol: 10182-141 Your Submission Dated May 30, 1997 The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable, provided you make the following changes:
- Delete the phrase "if irritation persists" from the dermal statement of practical treatment.
- Add an inhalation statement of practical treatment as follows: "Iflnhaled: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get medical attention. 3 . Delete the product, "REFLEX"from the "Tankmix and Sequential Applications for Soybeans" section on page 15. Since both Tornado and Reflex contain~ the active ingredient, fomesafen, use of both products in a tankmix or sequentially could result in unacceptable residues offomesafen in or on soybeans.
- Reduce the application rate for rhizome johnsongrass control from 1.6 to 1.5 quarts per acre. -5. Revise the statement under "General Use Precautions"xegarding the maximum amount of Tornado that may be applied per acre (1 qt) to allow the higher rate for-rhizome johnsongrass control. The following language is suggested: "A maximum of 1 quart (0.25 lb. activefomesafen + 0.188 lb. active fluazifop-P-butyl) per acre of TORNADO herbicide may be applied, except where higher rates are specifically recommended on this label. In the year of application, however, make only one application per growing season." RD:STANTON:PM Team 23:Rm: 237CM-2:305.-52l8:Disk #6:S524454.LET CONCURRENCES SYMBOL .. . .........

GENERAL INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
TORNADO herbicide is a selective early postemergence herbicide for control of grass and
broadleaf weeds in soybeans. -
TORNADO herbicide has systemic activity moving from the treated foliage into the shoots, roots,
rhizomes, stolons, and growing points (meristematic regions) of treated grass weeds and contact
activity for broad leaf weeds. Thorough coverage of all weed plant foliage is important for goot!
activity. Optimum weed control is achieved when young actively growing weeds are treated that
are not under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury.
Control Symptoms: Growth of treated grass weeds stops soon after application. Symptoms
include loss of vigor, yellowing andfor reddening, and eventual death to the treated grass plant.
Symptoms on grass weeds are generally observed within one week, depending on species and
environmental conditions. , , , ,
Symptoms on broadleaf weeds occur within 3 days and appear as bl"O\i\ffling and crinkling. " <
"", ,
Soybean plants are tolerant to TORNADO herbicide when it is applied at the rerrlended
products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes, through
repeated use of these herbicides, may result in control failures..
There may be slight bronzing, crinkling or spotting of soybean leaves but soybean: 500n oVtgmw

/6 7).J' Page 8 TORNADO Booklet TORN141B.RSF 5/19/97 If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional treatments with this herbicide or related products is not recommended. Consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for assistance. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Timing - Best control of susceptible weeds is obtained when TORNADO herbicide is applied to actively growing young weeds before they exceed the recommended growth stages shown on this label. Refer to the weed tables for specific recommendations on weed growth stages. Generally, the application should occur 10 to 21 days after soybean emergence. Spray Additives - Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 may be used in spray mixture. ALWAYS ADD ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: Crop Oil Concentrate - Add a nonphytotoxic crop oil concentrate at 0.5-1% (1 quart per 25 gallons) of the finished spray volume for ground sprays. For aerial applications, add 1 pint of crop oil concentrate per acre. crop oil concentrate can improve weed control but may Slightly reduce crop tolerance. Nonionic Surfactant - Add nonionic surfactant containing at least 75% surface active agent, at 0.25 - 0.5% (1/2 - 1 pint per 25 gallons) of the finished spray volume for ground sprays. For aerial applications, add v.z pint nonionic surfactant per acre. Other Adjuvants - Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the product meets the following criteria:
- Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
- Is non phytotOXiC to the target crop.
- Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test).
- Is supported locally for use with TORNADO on the target crop through proven field trials and through university and extension recommendations. Always refer to the product label and follow recommendations concerning rates, target crops, . environmental effect such as drought or weed stress, and use in tankmix with other labeled pesticides. In addition to crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant, diammonium phosphate (aqueous ammonium polyphosphate) commonly sold as a solution (10-34-0) can be added to the spray mixture. This water soluble material should be used at a rate of 2 pints per acre. Diammoflivrn phosphate should not be used as a substitute for crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactantm : the spray mixture.

GROUND APPLICATION: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete
coverage of the target weeds. A spray volume of 10-20 gallons per acre at 30-60 psi at the
nozzle tip is recommended. When weed foliage is dense, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20
gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage.
Use only hollow cone or flat fan nozzles. The sprayer must be calibrated to provide the proper
volume and rate per acre. In addition, the boom and nozzle height must be adjusted to provide
complete coverage of all weeds.
DO NOT USE FLOOD TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLE TIPS WHICH DELIVER COARSE,
LARGE DROPLET SPRAYS.
DO NOT APPLY TORNADO WITH RECIRCULATING SPRAYERS, ROPEWICK
APPLICATORS, CONTROLLED DROPLET APPLICATORS {COAl OR ANY SIMILAR DEVICE.
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
BAND APPLICATION - Adjust band application equipment to provide thorough weed coverage.
Best coverage is obtained by using a minimum of two nozzles, one directed to each side of the
planted row. A single nozzle directed over the top of the row will not provide adequate coverage
and is not recommended. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band
applications. When making band applications and cultivating in the same operation, position
nozzles in advance of the cultivation device. This will reduce dust in the spray area. Dust can
intercept the spray, reducing weed coverage resulting in less than adequate weed control.
Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed for band treatment by the following
formulas:
BlaOd width in ioches X broadcast rate = Band herbicide rate
row width in inches per acre per acre
Band widtb in inches X broadcast volume = Band water volume
row width in inches . per acre per acre
AERIAL APPLICATION - Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete
coverage of the target weeds. A minimum of 5 gallons per acre of spray mixture should be
applied with a maximum of 40 PSI pressure. When broadleaf weed or grass foliage is dense,
use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage. Add 1 pintlA of crop
oil concentrate or 1/2 pintlA nonionic surfactant in the spray mixture.
When making aerial applications, care should be taken to avoid drift to crops other than
soybeans or to other non-target areas. Do not spray when conditions are favorable for drjft'qr •
when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. • , •

. . IS- Page 10 TORNADO Booklet TORN141B.RSF 5119/97 GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS TORNADO herbicide can be applied only in the states or part of states included in Region 1 and Region 2. See the TORNADO regional use map for a list of states included in Region 1 and Region 2. In Region 1, TORNADO herbicide may be applied to soybeans once per growing season. Make only one application of TORNADO herbicide, or other fomesafen containing product, per growing season. In Region 2, TORNADO herbicide may be applied to soybeans in alternate years. In the year of application, make only one application of TORNADO herbicide per growing season. Do not apply TORNADO herbicide, or other fomesafen containing product, to any field in Region 2 more than once every two years. Apply TORNADO herbicide before soybeans bloom. A maximum of 1 quart (0.25 lb. active fomesafen + 0.188 lb. active fluazifop-P-butyt) per acre of TORNADO herbicide may be applied. In the year of application, however, make only one application per growing season. Apply to actively growing weeds. Avoid applying TORNADO to weeds or soybeans which are under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, meichanical or chemical injury, as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may result. For mixed weed populations, apply when the first weed species reaches the recommended growth stage for treatment. Where irrigation is used as part of normal cropping practice, best results are usually obtained when TORNADO herbicide is applied within 7 days after irrigation. Thoroughly clean spray tank with water and a commercial tank cleaner before and after each use. TORNADO herbicide should not be mixed with fertilizers or pesticides unless specifically recommended on this label or on other approved ZENECA supplemental labeling. TORNADO herbicide requires a 4-hour rain-free period for best results. Avoid overlapping spray swaths. Avoid drift to all other crops and nontarget areas. Crops other than soybeans may be sev~~~ly injured by drift. • •• ' : Do not graze treated areas or harvest for forage or hay. ( ( ( t { 'I: , " , , "" <, , , .,', , , ,." , • , , , , • ' I e. t.

In Region 2, do not apply TORNADO herbicide, or other fomesafen containing product, to any field more than once every two years. b It is necessary to use 0.25-0.5% non ionic surfactant or 0.5% to 1 % crop oil concentrate for ground applications. For aerial applications, use 1 pint of crop oil concentrate or 16 pint non ionic surfactant per acre. • Scientific names for weeds are listed in the Appendix (Page ). TORNADO can be used for the control of rhizome johnsongrass (height 8-18 inches) and bermudagrass (runner length 4-8 inches) and should be used at a rate of 1.6 quarts per acre. In case a second application needs to be made, use FUSILADE DX at a rate of 8 oz per acre and apply before johnsongrass reaches a height of 12 inches or before bermudagrass reaches a runner length of 8 inches. ,.

For sequential applications allow 2-3 days after the application of the grass herbicide before applying TORNADO or TORNADO mixtures. In case TORNADO or the TORNADO mixture is applied first apply the grass herbicide when the grass weeds begin to develop new leaves (generally around 7 days). Always read and follow the restrictions and limitations for all products whether used alone, sequentially or in a tankmix. The most restrictive labelling of any product used applies. TANKMIX APPLICATION Fill the spray tank with half the amount of required water and add the recommended amounts of TORNADO, the selected tankmix herbicide, and proper rate of approved adjuvant while the agitator is running and then add the remaining quantity of water. Allow the spray mixture to agitate and recycle 5-10 minutes before application. . NOTE: Tankmix applications can result in increases in crop injury as compared to either product used alone. NOTE: Tankmix applications sometimes have resulted in reduced grass weed control. A tankmix application is not recommended if perennial grass weeds are the predominant grasses to be controlled. If grass regrowth occurs following an application of the tankmix or an additional flush of grasses emerges, make an application of FUSILADE DX herbicide to actively growing grass weeds according to label recommendations. .
