Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Cover or incorporate spills. Apply this product only as specified on this label. USE INFORMATION Use of Diuron in certain portions of California, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et al vs E PA, C01-132C (W.D. WA.). For information, please refer to www.epa.gov/espp/wtc/. This product is to be mixed with water and applied as a spray f or selective control of weeds in certain crops and for non-selective weed control on non-cropland areas. It is non -corrosive to equipment, nonflammable and non- volatile. This product may be applied to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time; the degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall and other conditions. Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soils low in clay or organic matter to obtain equivalent herbicide performance. Moisture is required to activate the chemical; best results occur if rainfall (or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application. This product, applied pre-emergence, before emergence of crop a nd weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable seedli ng stage before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, this product continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through t he pre-emergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemente d; these include cultivation and post- emergence herbicide application.
Page3of23 This product may also be used to control emerged weeds. Results vary with rate applied and environmental conditions; best results are obtained on succulent weeds growin g under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or higher. Addition of a non-ionic surfact ant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of this product. This product may be used as a directed post-emergence applicati on where spray nozzles are adjusted so that weeds are sprayed, but the crop is not on the following crops: Artichokes, Corn (field), Cotton, Sorghum (grain), Sugarcane and established plantings of Apples, Bananas, Blueber ries, Caneberries, Citrus, Gooseberries, Filberts, Grapes, Macadamia nuts, Olives, Papayas, Peaches, Pears, Pecans, Plantains, Walnuts and certain Tree plantings. Under specified conditions (see “DIRECTIONS FOR USE”), this product without surfactant may be applied over the top of Alfalfa (established, dormant or semi-dormant), Aspa ragus (established), Birdsfoot trefoil (established, dormant), Grass seed crops (established), Oats, Pineapple, Plum osus fern (established, mowed), Red clover (established, dormant), Sugarcane and Wheat. Weed species vary in susceptibility to this product and they ma y be more difficult to control when under stress. Combinations of this product with other herbicides (as register ed) increase the number of species controlled; consult labels of the companion products for this and other information. Since the effect of this product varies with soils, uniformity of application and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas. Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures. IMPORTANT: Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply (except as directed for crop use), or drain or flu sh equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants, nor on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Prevent drift of dry powder or spray to desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water. Do not mix/load or use near wells including abandoned wells, drainage wells and sinkholes. Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites. Keep fr om contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds. Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from w ell site. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Thoroughly clean all traces of this product from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately). RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT GROUP 7 HERBICIDE This product is a Group 7 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 7 herbicides. When herbicides affecting the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resist ant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that fie ld. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. It may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action, if weed control is unsatisfactory. To better ma nage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/o r appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.
Page4of23 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Manageme nt (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pe st damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 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 application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protectio n of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water i s: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and shoes plus socks. NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides 40 CFR Part 170. The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or gre enhouses. Do not enter or allow others to enter treated areas until sprays have dried. Non-crop weed control is not within the scope of the WPS. SELECTIVE USE IN CROPS: This product when used before weed emergence (Pre-emergence use) will provide the following control of annual weeds: CONTROL 0.75 to 1 Pound Per Acre 1.5 to 2 Pounds Per Acre Barnyardgrass (Watergrass) Crabgrass Lambsquarters Pigweed Purslane Ragweed Amsinkia (Fiddleneck) Annual Bluegrass Annual groundcherry Annual morningglory Annual sweet vernalgrass Chickweed Corn spurry Dogfennel Foxtail Gromwell Knawel Pennycress Rattail fescue Red sprangletop Shepherdspurse Tansymustard Velvetgrass Wild buckwheat Wild lettuce Wild mustard

Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target areas. The interaction of many equipment- and weath er-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is th e responsibility of the applicator. The applicator must follow the most restrictive precautions to avoid drift, includi ng those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. A drift control agent may reduce drift, however, it may also decrease weed control. Make aerial or ground applications only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 miles per hour. Do not make aerial or ground applications into temperature inversions. Apply with medium or coarser spray (according to ASAE standard 572) for standard nozzles. Additional requirements for ground applications: When applying to crops, apply with nozzle height no more than 2 feet above the ground or crop canopy. When applying to non-crop areas, use lowest nozzle height consistent with safety and efficacy. Direct spray into target vegetation. Additional requirements for aerial applications: The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing top vortices. The boom length must not exceed 76% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind swath displacement. When applying to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 6 to 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy. When applying to non-crop areas, apply at a minimum safe altitude above the area being treated. Do not apply by air if sensitive non-target crops are within 100 feet of the application site. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS AERIAL APPLICATION: Aerial application is prohibited in all crops EXCEPT for the fo llowing: Alfalfa, Barley (Winter), Cotton (pre-plant or pre-emergence only), Grass seed crops (grown in Pacific Northwest only), Rights- of-way, Sugarcane and Wheat (Winter). Application may be made by aircraft at 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Avoid overlapping of spray swath and avoid application under conditions where excessive drift may occur. Where land is bedded, make application parallel to rows. GROUND APPLICATION: Use a boom power sprayer properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery. Openings in screen should be 50-mesh or larger. Continuous agit ation in the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic mean s. If bypass or return line is used, it should
Page6of23 terminate at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping, or injury to crop may result. PRE-EMERGENCE: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to uniformly distribut e the spray solution over treated soil. Pre-emergence weed control will be reduced on high organic matter soils such as peat or muck. POST-EMERGENCE: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure for thorough coverage of weed foliage. For selective applications and applications near sensitive crops, use low spray pressure to keep spray drift to a minimum. This product at labeled rates, controls seedling Annual weeds such as Annual morningglor y, Barnyardgrass (Watergrass), Crabgrass, Crowfoot, Goosegrass, Pigweed and Purslane. Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of this product. Best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or higher. SPRAY PREPARATION: Mix proper amount of this product into necessary volume of wate r. Where use of a surfactant is recommended, dilute with 10 parts of water and add as last ingredient to a nearly full tank. TANK MIXTURES: This product may be tank mixed with other herbicides and/or adjuvants registered for crop or non-crop use in this label. Refer to the label of the tank mixt ure partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive label. REPLANTING: Unless otherwise directed, do not replant treated areas to any crop within 2 years after last application, as injury to subsequent crops may result. NOTE: For crops grown in the arid West, reductions in normal irrigation practices for the crop in production or as Summer fallow period without supplemental irrigation may require the crop rotation intervals to be extended. When such conditions occur, a field bioassay should be completed prior to planting any desired crop. A successful bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the crop(s) intended for production. The test crop(s) strip should cross the entire field including knolls, low areas and areas wh ere any berms were located. The result of this bioassay may require the rotation intervals to be extended. RATES: Unless otherwise stated, all rates on this label are expressed as broadcast rates of this product. For band treatment, use proportionately less. For example, use one-third of the broadcast rate when treating a 14-inch band where row spacing is 42 inches. Where a range of dosages is giv en, use the lower rate on Coarse textured soils low in clay or organic matter and the higher rate on Fine textu red soils high in clay or organic matter. For post- emergence application, use the lower rate on smaller weeds and the higher rate on larger weeds. SOIL LIMITATIONS: Crop injury may result from failure to observe the following: U nless otherwise directed, do not use on Sand, Loamy sand or Gravelly soils or exposed subsoil, nor on Pecans where organic matter is less than 0.5%, nor on Alfalfa, Apples, Artichokes, Barley (Winter), Citrus, Cotton, Grapes, Oats, Olives, Papayas, Peaches, Pears, Sorghum, Sugarcane, Walnuts and Winter wheat wh ere organic matter is less than 1%, nor on Blueberries, Birdsfoot trefoil, Caneberries, Gooseberries, Macadamia nuts and Peppermint where organic matter is less than 2%. USES FIELD CROPS (See Soil Limitations) A good seedbed must be prepared before pre-emergence use of thi s product, as crop injury may result if application is made to ground which is cloddy or compacted resulting in improperly planted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. Unless otherwise directed, surface of the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of this product and before emergence of the crop, as weed control may be reduced and crop injury may result. However, if moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, a shallow cultivation (rotary hoe preferred) should be made after emergence of crops while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. Alfalfa Treat only stands established for 1 year or more. Do not apply to seedling Alfalfa nor to Alfalfa/Grass mixtures; do not apply to Alfalfa under stress from disease, insect damage, shallow root penetration (such as on shallow hard pans), or alkali spots, nor to flooded fields as crop injury ma y result. Do not spray on snow-covered or frozen ground. Maximum application rate per crop cycle is 2.4 pounds active ingredient (3 pounds of this product) per acre. Make only one application per year. ID, OR, WA: Use 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre for control of annual weeds in Fal l after Alfalfa becomes dormant, but not later than mid-December.
Page7of23 CA (Dormant and Semi-Dormant Varieties): Use 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre in Fall or Winter after Alfalfa becomes dormant or semi-dormant, but before growth begins in the Spring. Crop injury may result if application is made to actively growing Alfalfa. For best resul ts, apply before weeds have emerged or become established (2 inches in height or diameter). Control of establ ished weeds is improved by applying this product with a suitable contact herbicide registered for such use. Suff icient rainfall for soil activation of this product is unlikely in CA after February 1. Treated areas may be replanted to any crop after one year from last application if rate does not exceed 2 pounds per acre. AZ, NV: Use 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre in Fall after Alfalfa becomes dormant but no later than January. Eastern CO, KS: For control of Tansymustard, apply 1 pound per acre shortly after emergence of Mustard in the Fall or Winter; use 2 pounds per acre if weeds are 2 inches to 4 inches in height. Alternatively, if other annual weeds are present, apply 2 to 3 pounds per acre in February or March. Other Areas Where Alfalfa Becomes Winter Dormant: Use 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre (1.5 to 2 pounds per acre East of Appalachian Mountains) in March or early April, but before Spring growth begins. Artichokes CA: Apply 2 to 4 pounds per acre in late Fall or early Winter after the last cultivation. Apply before weeds germinate or to emerging seedlings. Direct spray to cover the area betwee n the rows and at the base of Artichoke plants, keeping contact with crop plants at a minimum. Aerial application is prohibited. Asparagus Apply as a band or broadcast treatment. Do not apply to young p lants during the first growing season (except as noted below), nor to newlyseeded Asparagus, nor on plants with exposed roots, as severe injury may result. Pre- emergence weed control will be reduced on soils with greater th an 5% organic matter. Aerial application is prohibited. Established Plantings: On light soils and other soils low in clay or organic matter, apply 1 to 2 pounds per acre. On soils high in clay or organic matter, use 2 to 4 pounds per acre. Two applications may be used; the first application should be made before weeds become established, but no earlier than 4 weeks before spear emergence and no later than the early cutting period (if weeds are controlled into the cutting period by cultural practices, application may be delayed until immediately after t he last cultivation); a second application may be made immediately following completion of harvest, provided rainfall is expected. When two applications are used in one season, do not exceed 3 pounds per acre per application. In WA (irrigated crop), apply a single treatment of 4 pounds per acre. If treatm ent is delayed until late Winter or early Spring, incorporation of the chemical in the top 1 to 2 inches of soil may substitute for lack of rain to activate the herbicide. Newly Planted Crowns—CA (San Joaquin Delta): Make a single application of 2 to 4 pounds per acre on soils high in clay or organic matter; use the lower rate on Clay loam s and the higher rate on Peat soils. Do not use on soils containing less than 2% organic matter. Soils must be settled by rainfall or irrigation prior to treatment. Do not treat crowns planted to a depth of less than 2 inches. Barley, Winter Western OR and Western WA: For drill-planted Barley, make a single application of 1.5 to 2 pounds per acre as soon as possible after planting, but before emergence of Barley. Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 1 year after thelast application as injury to subsequent crops may result. Bermudagrass Pastures (Newly-Sprigged) Apply 1 to 3 pounds after planting and before emergence of Berm udagrass or weeds. Alternatively, for control of emerged annual weeds up to 4 inches in height, apply 0.5 to 1 pound per acre; add a surfactant per 25 gallons of spray. If Bermudagrass has emerged at time of treatment, temporary burn of exposed plant parts may occur. Plant sprigs (stolons) 2 inches deep in a well-prepared seedbed; do not treat areas where sprigs are planted less than 2 inches deep, as crop injury may result. Do not graze or feed foliage from treated areas to livestock within 70 days after application. Aerial application is prohibited.
Page8of23 Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus) Western OR: Treat only stands established for at least 1 year; do not apply to seedling Trefoil as injury may result. Make a single application of 2 pounds per acre when Trefoil is dormant (October 15 to Decem ber 15). Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 1 year after last appl ication, as injury to subsequent crops may result. Aerial application is prohibited. Corn (Field) Aerial application is prohibited. Post-emergence: Make a single application of 0.75 pound per acre in combination with non-pressure nitrogen solution. If nitrogen solution is not used, apply 1 pound per acre. Add a surfactant. Apply as a directed spray when Corn is at least 20 inches tall and weeds are no taller than 3 inches. DO NOT APPLY OVER TOP OF CORN. Do not replant to any crop within 1 year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result, except Corn, Cotton and Grain sorghum may be planted the Spring following treatment. Pre-emergence—AR, LA, MS and TN: Make a single application of 0.67 to 1 pound per acre as a broa dcast or band treatment after planting, but before Corn emerges. Plant Corn at least 1.5 inches deep. Do not replant treated areas to crops other than Corn or Cotton within 4 months follow ing band treatment and 6 months following broadcast treatment, as crop injury may result. Cotton Do not apply to Sand or Loamy sand soils. Do not use on soils with less than 1% organic matter as crop injury may result. Seedling disease may weaken plants and increase the pos sibility of injury from the use of Trifluralin EC followed by this product. These treatments should be used only in conjunction with a standard fungicide seed treatment plus a good supplemental soil fungicide program such as Captan-PCNB mixture. DO NOT SPRAY OVER THE TOP OF COTTON PLANTS. Do not use this product in pre-plant or pre-emergence applicati ons where soil-applied organophosphate insecticides are used due to potential for severe cotton injury and possible stand loss. Do not allow livestock to graze treated Cotton. The maximum application rate per crop cycle is as follows: Type of Soil Pounds of Diuron a.i. per Acre Pounds of This Prod uct per Acre Coarse 0.8 1 Medium 1.5 1.875 Fine 2.2 2.75 Do not make more than 3 applications per year. NOTE: When using this product in a sequential treatment program, allo w a minimum of 21 days between applications. Pre-plant—AZ and CA: Use this product alone or apply as a separate operation followi ng pre-plant broadcast treatment with Trifluralin EC (incorporated according to direct ions on product label). Apply this product as a broadcast spray after beds are formed, pre-irrigated and final seedbeds prepared. Prior to planting, drag-off the tops of the beds and plant in moist soil not treated with this product. Treated soil is returned to the bed after planting when irrigation furrows are reformed after Cotton has emerged. If more than two furrowing-out operations are made prior to lay-by or deep furrows are made early, weed control may be reduced in furrow bottoms. Use at the following rates: This Product Alone (Pre-plant): 1 to 2 pounds per acre. This Product Following Trifluralin EC: Soil Texture Rate Per Acre Trifluralin EC (pt.) This Product (lb.) Sandy loam, Loam, Silt loam, Silt 0.67 0.67 to 1 Sandy clay loam, Clay loam, Silty clay loam, Sandy clay, Clay 1.5 1 to 1.25
Page9of23 Pre-Plant (Except AZ and CA): This product may be used for burndown of existing annual weeds and residual control of weeds prior to planting cotton. Complete any planned tillage prior to application. Apply herbicide treatments before weeds germinate or before weed seedlings are more than 2 inches tall. If weeds are emerged prior to application, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant is recommended. Tillage following application should be avoided to prevent incorporation of the herbicide into the cott on seed germination zone which may result in crop injury. Dragging treated soil from beds will concentrate the herbicide in middles and reduce residual weed control on the beds. Apply this product at 1 to 2 pounds per acre from 15 to 45 days prior to anticipated planting. Refer to the table below for use rates in preplant applications. Do not exceed suggested use rates for individual soil textures shown in the table below. If less than the maximum rate of applicatio n for a given soil is applied pre-plant, subsequent preemergence applications of this product may be made. However, the total combined application rate for this product applied pre-plant and pre-emergence may not exceed the maximum suggested use rate for either application method. This Product Alone Soil Texture Rate Per Acre (lbs.) Sandy loam, Loam, Silt loam, Silt 1 Sandy clay loam, Clay loam, Silty clay loam, Sandy clay 1.25 Silty clay, Clay 2 Pre-emergence application of herbicides with a similar mode of action to that of Diuron following pre-plant application of this product may result in cotton injury. When p re-plant applications of this product are followed by pre-emergence applications of herbicides with a similar mode of action, e.g., Meturon®, Cotoran® or other products containing fluometuron, the product containing fluometuron should be used at the minimum rate of application for the soil under consideration in order to reduce potential for c rop injury. This is most critical where applications of this product are made less than 30 days pre-plant, on Coarse te xtured soils, and on soils low in organic matter. The risk of injury from pre-plant applications of this product is reduced where substantial rainfall (more than 0.5 inches) occurs between application and planting. Read and follow any additional precautions on this label when u sing this product for pre-plant weed control in Cotton. Pre-Plant Tank Mixes: When emerged weeds taller than 2 inches or weeds not listed on this label are present, this product may be tankmixed with other products labeled for p re-plant applications in Cotton, including Boa™, Glyphosate Original, Gramoxone ® Extra, Imitator ® Plus, Roundup ® Ultra, and Touchdown ®. The addition of dry spray grade ammonium sulfate at the rate of 2% w/w (17 pounds p er 100 gallons finished spray solution) is suggested to enhance performance of this product plus glyphosate tank mixes. Replanting: Only Cotton and Corn may be planted within 6 months of pre-plan t applications of this product. To avoid crop injury following replanting, avoid disturbing the original bed. Pre-emergence—Except AZ, CA: Use this product alone or apply as a separate operation followi ng pre-plant treatment with Trifluralin EC. Apply this product after plantin g, but before Cotton emerges. Do not treat Cotton in deep furrows as crop injury may result. Use only where Cotton i s planted on flat or raised seedbeds. Shallow incorporation (no deeper than 0.25 inch) with a rotary hoe or similar equipment following planting usually improves results especially during dry weather. A wide press wheel should be used on the planter to provide a level seedbed for subsequent early season post-emergence treatments. If moisture is insufficient to activate this product or if soil becomes crusted before crop emerges, a shallow rotary hoeing (no deeper than 0.25 inch) should be made before weeds become established. This product should not be applied preemergence following application of the maximum rate for a given soil applied preplant. If less than the maximum rate is used preplant, addit ional product may be applied preemergence. However, the total amount of this product applied preplant and preemergence must not exceed the maximum suggested use rate for either preplant or preemergence applications. This Product Alone: Make a single application as a broadcast or band spray using the following broadcast rates; for band treatment, use proportionately less. Soil Texture Rate Per Acre (lbs.) Sandy loam, Loam, Silt loam, Silt 1 Sandy clay loam, Clay loam, Silty clay loam, Sandy clay 1.25 Silty clay, Clay 2
Page10of23 This Product Following Trifluralin EC Pre-plant: Apply Trifluralin EC prior to planting as a broadcast or band treatment; incorporate according to directions on Trifluralin E C label. As a separate operation, apply this product after planting, but before Cotton emerges. Use the following br oadcast rates. For band treatment, use proportionately less. Soil Texture Rate Per Acre Preplant Trifluralin EC (pt.) Pre-emergence This Product (lb.) Sandy loam, Loam, Silt loam, Silt 1 1 Sandy clay loam, Clay loam, Silty clay loam, Sandy clay, Silty clay, Clay 1.5 1.25 to 2 Post-emergence: Apply only as a directed spray to cover weed foliage; adjust no zzles to minimize contact of Cotton leaves with spray or drift or crop injury may result. Ap plications may also be made in hooded/shielded sprayers. Early Season: Apply when Cotton is at least 6 inches tall and when weeds are actively growing and do not exceed 2 inches in height. Apply as a band or broadcast treatment at t he following rates. Two applications may be made if needed. Annual Weed Problem (Up to 2 inches tall) Cotton Height Rate Per Acre (lb.) Cotton 6 to 8 inches 0.5 Cotton 8 to 12 inches 0.75 For control of seedling Perennial grasses such as Johnsongrass, in directed sprays and partial control of Nutsedge or when weed growth is under drought stress or over 2 inches tall add 1.65 to 2 pounds active MSMA to the above spray mixture. If MSMA is used, do not apply after first bloom. For enhanced weed control in hooded/shielded sprayer applicatio ns, add MSMA as suggested above; or Boa, Gramoxone Extra, Glyphosate Original, Imitator Plus, Roundup Ultra, or Touchdown according to label directions. Consult product labels for specific directions and precautions for hooded sprayer applications. Late Season (Lay-By): Apply 1 to 1.5 pounds per acre (1 to 2 pounds per acre in AZ an d CA) when Cotton is at least 12 inches tall (at least 20 inches tall for Pima S-2). Fo r control of germinating weed seedlings, apply to soil beneath Cotton plants and between rows immediately after last c ultivation. In irrigated Cotton, best weed control is obtained if the field is irrigated within 3 to 4 days after application, to thoroughly wet the surface of the ground over the row to carry the herbicide into the root zone of germi nating weeds. Alternatively, for control of emerged Annual weeds (up to 4 inches in height) at lay-by time, make a single application in combination with a surfactant or use 0.5 to 0.75 pound of this product (plus surfactant) per acre and repeat later, if needed. Replanting: If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, Cotton may be replanted in soil treated pre-emergence with this product alone or following pre-plant application of Triflu ralin EC. Wherever possible, avoid disturbing original bed. If necessary to rework soil before replanting, use shallow cultivation such as discing; do not relist nor move soil into the original drill area. Plant seed at least 1 inch d eep. Do not retreat field with a second pre-plant or pre- emergence application during the same crop year, as injury to the crop may result. Subsequent crops: This Product– Type of Application Crops That May Follow Treated Cotton Band pre-emergence -OR post-emergence Any crop 4 months after la st application Band pre-emergence plus post-emergence -OR Broadcast pre-emergence (and pre-plant) -OR Broadcast pre-emergence plus band post- emergence Corn, Cotton, Grain sorghums (not Sorgos or Forage sorghums nor Grass sorghums) or Soybeans the next Spring. Do not replant treated areas to any other crop within 1 year after last application, as injury to subsequent crops may result. Broadcast post-emergence (lay-by) Corn, Cotton, Grain sorghums ( not Sorgos or Forage sorghums nor Grass sorghums) the next Spring. Do not replant treated areas to any other crop within 1 year after last application, as injury to subsequent crops may result.
Page11of23 For subsequent crops in fields where Trifluralin EC is used, follow instructions on Trifluralin EC product label(s). Grass Seed Crops (Perennial Except Where Specifically Indicated) Except as noted, apply only to established plantings at least 1 year old. Do not apply more than 2.4 lbs. of active ingredient (3 lbs. of this product) per acre per year. Do not apply more than once per year. Aerial application is limited to the Pacific Northwest only. Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 2 years of last application, as injury to next crop may occur. Do not apply to snow covered or frozen ground as injury to the crop or poor weed control may result. Do not treat stands lacking in vigor due to poor fertility, env ironmental stress, insects, disease or damage from other herbicides. CO, KS, NM and OK: On Sand bluestem, Side-oats grama and Switch-grass, apply 2 to 3 pounds per acre during the dormant period shortly before weed seedlings emerge. Do not apply after crop begins growth in the Spring, as crop injury may result. In fields where ash residues have accumulated from burning straw, use 3 pounds per acre; spread unburned chaff or straw with a harrow or chopper before application. Eastern OR, Eastern WA: On Perennial bluegrass and Fescue apply 1 to 3 pounds per acre as broadcast in enough diluent to get even distribution. Apply in Spring before rapid growth of the crop begins and when the Windgrass is still small (1- to 4- leaf). DO NOT use on Coarse (sand) textured soils. Western OR, Western WA: On Alta fescue, Astoria bentgrass, Highland bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass (Merion bluegrass) and Orchardgrass, apply 2 to 3 pounds per acre between October 1 and November 15. In fields where ash residues have accumulated from burning straw, use 3 pounds per acre; spread unburned chaff or straw with a harrow or chopper before application. For best results, apply as soon as possible after Fall rains start. Established weeds (beyond 2- to 4-leaf stage) should be removed prior to treatment. Well established vigorous stands of Spring-planted Alta fescue, Kentucky bluegrass and Orchardgrass may be treated the following Fall provided the crop is planted before April 1 and treatment is not applied before October 15; use 2 pounds per acre. WA: Apply in the Fall to Perennial ryegrass to control weeds and seedling grasses such as annual bluegrass and volunteer ryegrass at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds per acre and to Tall fescue at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per acre in minimum of 25 gallons of water per acre by ground and minimum of 5 gallons of water by air, for thorough coverage of weed foliage. For best results, make applications at the onset of the Fall rains and before weeds have become established (typically October 1 through November 15). Establis hed weeds beyond the 2- to 4-leaf stage should be removed prior to treatment. Apply only to well established, vigorous stands. Do not apply to Perennial ryegrass stands less than 1 year old. Use mechanical agitation and avoid overlap of spray patterns. Weed control efficacy may be reduced in fields where ash residues have accumulated from burning straw. Annual Ryegrass for the Creation of Rows: Apply 1 to 2 pounds per acre as a directed or shielded spray so the intended crop row area is not treated. These applications should be made where excessive populations of annual Ryegrass are anticipated to volunteer from previous crops. Applications can be made as a directed/shielded spray during seeding or after emergence of Annual ryegrass. These app lications generally will occur between October 1 and January 15. This product is most effective when applied before Annual ryegrass volunteer plants have more than 2 leaves. If larger plants are to be treated, addition of a labeled post-emergence herbicide will provide more effective control. Adjust nozzle heights and spacing to allow the establishment of the desired row width (generally about 3 inches) and spacing (generally 9 to 12 inches). Use of low pressure nozzles, shielded nozzles, or drop nozzles to reduce spray move ment into the intended crop row area is recommended. Fine Fescue Grass Seed Crops (including Chewings, Creeping red and Hard fescue types): For the suppression of Rattail fescue, apply at 1 to 2 pounds per acre on soils having at least 1% organic matter. Do not use on Sand, Loamy sand, Gravelly soils or exposed subsoils. Crop Stage and Application Timing: This product is for use on healthy, vigorous stands of Fine fes cue. This product can be applied to stands established at least 1 year or to new plantings that have been established for at least 6 months and have a minimum of eight tillers at time of a pplication. Apply in Fall before Grass weeds are beyond the 1- to 2-leaf stage and before Broadleaf weeds are larger than 1 to 2 inches tall or across. Use the high end of the rate range for large weeds or where weed populations are high. Approximately 0.5 to 1 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move this product in the weed zone before weeds develop an established root system. Weeds larger than the size indicated or those having a well established root system before this product is properly activated by rainfall/irrigation may not be adequately controlled. Weed control may be reduced by heavy straw residues or ash from field burning.
Page12of23 Tank Mixes and Sequential Treatments: This product can be applied either alone or in a program involving tank mixes and/or sequential treatments with other herbicides and ad juvants. When using a tank mix with other herbicides, use 1 to 1.5 pounds per acre unless prior experience indicates it is safe to use higher rates. Tank mixes with other herbicides can increase the risk of crop injury. When using certain tank mixes for the first time, limit use to a small area to determine safety before treating large areas. New Plantings (ID, OR, WA): For use in newly planted Bentgrass, Chewing fescue, Kentucky bl uegrass, Perennial ryegrass, Orchardgrass and Tall fescue. During planti ng operation, spray a suitable brand of activated charcoal as a 1-inch band on soil surface at a rate of 300 poun ds per acre (broadcast basis; equivalent to 15 pounds per acre of crop when row spacing is 20 inches). Mount nozzles to apply directly over seed rows to prevent crop injury. Follow with this product as a single broadcast spr ay at a rate of 2.5 to 3 pounds per acre. Apply as soon as possible after planting, but before crops or weeds emer ge and before rains or sprinkler irrigation. Fall or Spring plantings may be treated. Best results usually occur with early Fall plantings. Treatment will not control Downy brome or Wild oats. Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue (Grown For Seed) (OR Only) For control of certain Broadleaf weeds and Annual grasses, appl y this product only to well established vigorous stands of grasses as directed below. Use sufficient water, a minimum of 26 gallons per acre, for thorough coverage of weed foliage. For best results, make application at the onset of Fall rains and before weeds become established (typically October 1 through November 15). Weeds be yond the 2- to 4-leaf stage will usually not be controlled. Use higher rates within the range listed when treating larger weeds and heavier weed infestation. Weed control may be reduced where straw or ash residues have accumul ated on the soil surface. Lack of moisture to activate the herbicide may reduce weed control. Tank mixtures or sequential treatments with other herbicides may reduce crop tolerance and increase risk of crop injury. When us ing this product in a tank mix or in a sequential treatment with other herbicides, do not use the maximum rates listed below unless compatibility and the potential for phytotoxicity have been evaluated. Crop tolerance may be reduced and the likelihood of crop injury may increase when crop is under stress caused by weather, diseases and insects.

Do not apply to soils having less than 1% organic matter. Aerial application is prohibited. Rate of This Product Per Acre 1 to 2% Organic Matter 2.1 to 3% Organic Matter More than 3% Or ganic Matter 0.75 to 1 lb. 1 to 2 lbs. 2 to 3 lbs. Application Timing: Apply this product to established stands of Mint during the lat e Winter dormant period or after flaming in the Spring, prior to the emergence of new growth. Do not cultivate after application. If weeds are present at the time of application, the use of a s urfactant at 0.25% v/v or crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v may be used to increase the performance of this product post-emergence to weeds. Tank Mixes and Sequential Treatments: This product can be applied either alone or in a program involving tank mixes and/or sequential treatments with other herbicides and ad juvants, providing this product is not applied to actively growing Mint plants. When using a tank mix with other herbicides, use the lower end of the rate range of this product unless prior experience indicates it is safe to use higher rates. Tank mixes and sequential treatments with other herbicides can increase the risk of crop injury. When using a certain tank mix or sequential treatment for the first time, limit use to a small area to determine safety before treating large areas. Red Clover (Western OR) Make a single application of 2 pounds per acre on established R ed clover stands (at least 9 months). Apply this product when Red clover is dormant (October 15 to December 15). Do not apply to seedling Red clover and do not replant treated area to any crop within one year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result. Aerial application is prohibited. Treatment will control annual weeds such as Bluegrass, Chickwee d, Hawksbeard, Rattail fescue, Ryegrass and Velvetgrass. Sorghum—Grain (Southwestern States) Apply 0.25 to 0.5 pound per acre. Add a surfactant. Apply as a directed post-emergence broadcast or band spray after Sorghum is 15 inches tall to control weeds 2 to 4 inches in height. DO NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF SORGHUM. Use the lower rate on Broadleaved weeds up to 2 inches tall; use the higher rate on grasses up to 2 inches and Broadleaved weeds up to 4 inches tall. When the lower rate is used, a second application may be made, if needed, provided the amount applied in one crop year does not exceed 0.5 pound per acre. Treatment of weeds under drought stress is usually ineffective.
Page14of23 Do not replant treated areas to crops other than Corn or Cotton within 4 months following band treatment and 6 months following broadcast treatment, as crop injury may result. Aerial application is prohibited. Sugarcane To prevent possible crop injury on new cane varieties, toleranc e to this product should be determined prior to adoption as field practice. Do not treat Sugarcane growing on thinly covered subsoils or rocky areas, as crop injury may result. Temporary chlorosis and stunting of the crop may re sult from application over emerged cane. Application over emerged cane should be made only as directed below, without the addition of a surfactant or crop oil concentrate. To minimize chlorosis and stunting, use directed post-emergence sprays. This product may be applied as a directed spray (including hood ed and shielded spray) in combination with Boa and other formulations of paraquat. Consult the label of the ta nk-mix partner for rates and timings of application, restrictions and precautions. FL — Pre-emergence: For high organic soils, apply 2 to 4 pounds per acre as a broadcast or band spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after harvesting plant crop (for ratoon crop). FL — Post-emergence: Make 1 or 2 applications of 2 pounds per acre, as needed, by di rected spray inter-row. Alternatively, for Panicum control, make up to 3 applications of 0.5 to 1 pound per acre plus surfactant as a directed spray after cane has emerged, but before Panicum exceeds 2 inch es in height. Adjust nozzles to spray beneath cane plants and between rows to cover weed foliage and to minimize contact of cane leaves with spray or drift. Do not apply more than 6 pounds total per acre between planting (or ratooning) and harvest. HI: Apply 2 to 6 pounds per acre as a broadcast spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after harvesting plant crop or ratoon crop. Sequential applications of 2 to 4 po unds per acre may be made as a broadcast spray over emerged cane or by directed spray inter-row. If weeds are emerged, add a surfactant and apply as a directed spray. Do not apply more than 3 treatments nor more than 12 pou nds per acre in Hawaii between planting (or ratooning) and harvest. Treated areas may be replanted to Sugarcane or Pineapple 1 year after application. Puerto Rico: Apply 4 to 8 pounds per acre as a broadcast spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after harvesting plant crop or ratoon crop.

Apply in late Winter or early Spring as a uniform broadcast spray before or after planting, but prior to bud swell, or as a directed spray after bud swell. Apply before weeds emerge or after emergence while weeds are small. Some rainfall or water is necessary to move this product into the weed root zone before weeds become well established. If weeds are present at time of treatment, add a surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution. Pre-plant: If application is made prior to planting, take precautions to prevent treated soil (usually top 1 inch) from coming into contact with roots of trees during the planting process, as injury may result. Post-plant (Broadcast): If application is made after planting, it is best to wait until rain or irrigation has settled the soil around the newly planted trees before applying this product. If trees are dormant, a broadcast application can be made.
Page21of23 Post-plant (Directed): If buds have started to swell, use a directed spray pattern tha t prevents this product from having contact with trees, as injury may result. During the growing season (from bud swell to leaf drop), this product may be applied (alone or with tank mix) between tree rows with a shielded and directed spray. This product can be tank-mixed with a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup Pro Herbicide, Roundup Original Herbicide or Glyphosate Original Herbicide) pre-plant and as a directed spray to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled and improve post-emergence activity. Use 1 to 3 pounds of this product plus glyphosate herbicide (according to label directions) depending upon soil t ype and weeds to be controlled. Note: There are several formulations of glyphosate herbicide. Check the glyphosate herbicide label to verify that the intended use as a preplant or post-directed spray on hybrid Poplar plantations is allowed. Avoid contact of glyphosate herbicide with foliage, green stems, trees or other desirable vegetation because severe damage or destruction may result. NON-CROP WEED CONTROL This product is an effective herbicide for the control of many weeds. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall and other conditions. This product may be used as a pre-emergence treatment at any time of year, except when g round is frozen, provided adequate moisture is supplied by rainfall or artificial means to activate the herbicide. Best results are obtained if applications to the soil are made shortly before weed growth begins. If dense growth is present, remove tops and spray the ground. Increased contact activity on established wee ds may be obtained using a surfactant. Apply as a drenching spray to actively growing weeds during warm weather when daily temperature will exceed 70°F. Use a fixed-boom power sprayer properly calibrated to ensure a constant rate of application. Mix proper amount of this product into volume of water necessary to obtain unifor m coverage. If surfactant is used, dilute with ten parts of water and add as last ingredient to a nearly full tank. This product must be kept in suspension at all times. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. If bypass or return line is used, it should terminate at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Use 50-mesh screen or larger. Do not exceed 15 pounds of this product per acre in areas of hi gh rainfall (more than 40 inches/year) or dense vegetation (more than 90% weed ground cover). In other areas, do not apply more than 10 lbs. of this product per acre. Do not make more than 2 applications per year. If this pr oduct is used in a sequential application program, minimum retreatment interval is 90 days. Aerial application is prohibited, except for rights-of-way.
