Page 3 of 38 Ground and Surface Water Protection Point source contamination: To prevent point source contamination, DO NOT mix or load this pesticide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. DO NOT apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing or loading areas as described below. Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and have sufficient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment washwaters and rainwater that may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing or loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. Care must be taken when using this product to prevent: 1. back siphoning into wells; 2. spills; 3. improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsate. Check valves or anti -siphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment. Movement by surface runoff or through soil : DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff. DO NOT apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for groundwater contamination. Groundwater contamination may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse and groundwater is near the surface. DO NOT apply to soils classified as Sand with less than 3% organic matter and where groundwater depth is shallow. To minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination, carefully follow application rates as affected by soil type. M ovement by water erosion of treated soil: DO NOT apply or incorporate this product through any type of irrigation equipment or by flood or furrow irrigation. Ensure treated areas have received at least one- half inch rainfall (or irrigation) before using tail water for subsequent irrigation of other fields. E ndangered Species Concerns The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or otherwise harm an endangered species or adversely modify their habitat is a violation of federal law.

- Rates below 8 fluid ounces /acre (0.25 pound a.e./acre) of this product may provide control or suppression but should typically be applied with other herbicides that are effective on the same species and biotype.
- Will require tank-mixes for adequate control. A erial Application Water Volume: Use 1 to 10 gallons of water per acre (2 to 20 gals. of diluted spray per treated acre for pre-harvest uses). Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation. A pplication Equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Make aerial applications at the lowest safe height to reduce exposing the spray to evaporation and wind. R estrictions: The applicator must follow the most restrictive use precaution to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling, as well as State and local regulations and ordinances. DO NOT use aerial equipment if spray particles can be carried by the wind into areas where sensitive crops or plants are growing or when temperature inversions exist. Ground Application (Banding) When applying by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed using the following formula: Band width in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide Row width in inches per acre rate per acre Band width in inches X Broadcast volume = Banding water Row width in inches per acre volume per acre
Page 7 of 38 Ground Application (Broadcast) Water Volume: Use 3 to 50 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation. Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage. G round Application (Wipers) This product may be applied through wiper application equipment to control or suppress actively growing broadleaf weeds, brush, and vines. Use a solution containing 1 part herbicide to 1 part water. DO NOT apply greater than 1 pound of Dicamba acid equivalent (32 fluid ounces of this product) per acre per application. DO NOT contact desirable vegetation with herbicide solution. Wiper applications may be made to crops (including pastures) and non-cropland areas described in this label with the exception of cotton, sorghum and soybeans. A DDITIVES To improve post -emergence weed control, agriculturally approved surfactants, sprayable fertilizers (urea ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate) or crop oil concentrate may be added particularly in dry growing conditions. Refer to TABLE 2. • Nitrogen Source o U rea ammonium nitrate (UAN): Use 2 to 4 quarts of UAN (commonly referred to as 28%, 30% or 32% n itrogen solution) per acre. DO NOT use brass or aluminum no zzles when spraying UAN. o Ammonium sulfate (AMS): AMS at 2.5 pounds per acre may be substituted for UAN. Use high-quality AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging of nozzles. Other sources of nitrogen are not as effective as those mentioned. Manufacturer does not recommend applying AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per acre because of potential problems with precipitation in reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been demonstrated to be successful in local experience. • Non-Ionic Surfactant o T he standard label direction is 1 pint of an 80% active non-ionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water. For certain weeds, a higher spray surfactant rate is directed (TABLE 2). • C rop Oil Concentrate (C OC) o Vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality in the applicator’s jar test. The exact composition of suitable products will vary in success locally but note that refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. A COC must be non- phytotoxic and contain only EPA exempt ingred ients. For additional information, see the COMPATIBILITY TESTING FOR MIX COMPONENTS section. o A djuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be used in preplant, preemergence and pre-harvest applications, as well as for pastures and non-cropland uses. Follow the COC’s labeled rates (TABLE 2).
Page 8 of 38 o DO NOT use crop oil concentrate for post-emergence in-crop applications unless specifically allowed in the CROP-SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS section of this label. T ABLE 2: ADDITIVE RATES ADDITIVE RATE AMS 2.5 pounds per acre Crop Oil Concentrate See manufacturer’s label for specific use rates Non-Ionic Surfactant 1-2 pints per 100 gallons UAN Solution 2-4 quarts per acre Co mpatibility Testing for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add components in the sequence indicated in the MIXING ORDER section using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of specified label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor have fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank. M ixing Order
- Water: Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of clean water.
- Agitation: Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
- Inductor: If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.

R ESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS F or resistance management, AGH22033 is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. • Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance -prone partner. Consult your local extension service or a certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently l ess pro ne to resistance. • Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed -competitive crops or varieties) and ot her ma nagement practices. • Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. • Scout fields after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at t he d ose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds. DICAMBA GROUP 4 HERBICIDE
Page 11 of 38 o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species. o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean seed. • If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. • Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. • For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative.

PR ECAUTIONS • Sensitive Crops: This product may cause injury to desirable trees and plants particularly Beans, Cotton, Flowers, Fruit trees, Grapes, Ornamentals, Peas, Potatoes, Soybea ns, S unflowers, Tobacco, Tomatoes and other broadleaf plants when their roots, stems or foliage are contacted. These plants are most sensitive during their development or growing stage. • Rai nfast Period: Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after post- emergence applications may reduce the effectiveness of this product. • St ress: DO NOT apply to crops under stress due to lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury, mechanical injury, insects or widely fluctuating temperatures as injury may resul t. • Refer to the CROP-SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS section for further precautions. SP RAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Use a nozzle and pressure that delivers coarse droplets per ASABE S572. Select nozzles that are designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Consult your spray nozzle supplier for recommended spray pressures. Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may be used. Spray Drift Advisories THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF -SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. I mportance 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. 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.
Page 14 of 38 • 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. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. • Genera lly, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. B oom 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. R elease 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. S hielded 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. T emperature And Humidity When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. T emperature 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. WIN D 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.
