ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Surface Water Advisory Statement: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. 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 via runoff for weeks after application. A level, well-mainta ined vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this produc t is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potent ial loading of tribenuron-methyl f rom runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. PESTICIDE HANDLING • Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site. • Make scheduled checks of spray equipment. • Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides. • Mix only enough product for the job at hand. • Avoid overfilling of spray tank. • Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station. • Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses. • Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites. • When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix. 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
3
may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 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 area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label. SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications: • Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser drop let size (ASABE S641). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641). • The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters. • Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.” Ground Boom Applications: • Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland appli cation, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground. • For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser drop let size (ASABE S572). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.” Boom-less Ground Applications: • Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABES572.3) for all applications. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.” SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under u nfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produce d 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. 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. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields ar e not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
4
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. Boom-less Ground Applications: • Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. Handheld Technology Applications: • Take precautions to minimize spray drift. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard co ntains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instr uctions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: • Coveralls. • Chemical Resistant Gloves made of any waterproof material including polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. • Shoes plus socks. This product must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label or in separately published Nufarm instructions. Nufarm will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specified by Nufarm. This product is registered for use on wheat (including durum), barley, triticale, oats, burndown, certain grass grown for seed[, ][and] fallow [and ExpressSun® sunflowers] in most states. Check with your state extension service or Department of Agriculture before use, to be certain this product is registered in your state. PRODUCT INFORMATION This product is a dry flowable granule that is used for selectiv e postemergence weed control in wheat (including durum), barley , triticale, oats, [ExpressSun® sunflowers], post-harvest burndown, fallow and pre-plant burndown. The best control is obtained w hen this product is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate will depend on weed spectrum and size of weed at time of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following: • weed spectrum and infestation intensity • weed size at application • environmental conditions at and following treatment This product is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. This product should be mixed in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This product is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. Leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing point subsequently dies. This product provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a cr op canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control. This product may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop may have differing levels of sens itivity to treatment with this product under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of sensitive crop varieties may injure crops. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix this product with 2,4- D (ester formulations perform best – see "TANK MIXTURES" section of this label) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to this product. Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application. Several hours of dry weather are needed to al low
5
this product to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage. WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement. RESTRICTIONS x Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: o Do not apply, drain or flush 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. o Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. o Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station. o Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D to wheat, barley, oats or triticale that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury. x Do not store pesticides near well sites. x Do not apply to wheat, barley, oats or triticale underseeded with another crop. x Do not harvest within 45 days of the last application. x Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in-furrow treatment because crop injury may result. x Do not use Eti 119 01 H-D plus Malathion because crop injury may result. x [Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D to ExpressSun® sunflower fields in which germination is uneven (i.e., some plants are outside the specified leaf stage for application), as crop injury may result.] x Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D within 70 days of sunflower harvest. x Do not apply more than 1.0 oz/A of Eti 119 01 H-D postemergence during the same sunflower per year. x Do not apply more than 0.5 oz/A of Eti 119 01 H-D per year for grass grown for seed in the states of ID, OR, UT, & WA. x Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D by air in the state of New York. x Grazing, Feeding, and Harvesting o Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage. o Allow at least 7 days between application and feeding of forage (green chop) from treated areas to livestock. o Allow at least 30 days between application and feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. o Allow at least 45 days between application and harvesting of grain.

PRECAUTIONS x Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: o Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas. o Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may damage crops other than wheat, barley[,] [and] oats [and] [ExpressSun® sunflowers]. • Varieties of wheat (including du rum), barley, oats and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. Nufarm recommends that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to crop sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to a small area. • Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after this product application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix this product with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best – see the "TANK MIXTURES" section of this label) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth. • Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas. x Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from well sites. x Make scheduled checks of spray equipment. x Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides. x Mix only enough product for the job at hand. x Avoid overfilling of spray tank. x Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses. x When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix. WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, Eti 119 01 H-D Herbicide contains a Group 2 herbicide –tribenuron methyl. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Eti 119 01 H- D Herbicide and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes ma y dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species
7
in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action. To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of Eti 119 01 H-D Herbicide or other Group 2 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 targe t weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as t he more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone 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 fa vor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive cr ops or varieties) and other management practices. • Scout before and after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed specie s; (3) 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 treatme nt with this product, discontinue use of this product, and swi tch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. Users should report lack of performance to registrant or their representative. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance -management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. • For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Nufarm at 855-280-6609. 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. Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. Do not assume that ea ch listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of actio n. Co-formulated active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product. 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. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT Nufarm recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which can includ e biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest ide ntification, population monitoring, and treat ing when target pest populations reach lo cally 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 or site systems in your area. APPLICATION INFORMATION Eti 119 01 H-D may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control weeds listed as partially controlled, weed s resistant to Eti 119 01 H-D or weeds not listed under the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" sections of this label. Read and follow all manufacturers’ label instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or insecticides. If thoseinstructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix that product with Eti 119 01 H-D. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any companion products before using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive labeling. WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS AND TRITICALE APPLICATION TIMING Apply this product after the crop is in the 2 leaf stage but before the flag leaf is visible. For spring oats make applications after the crop is in the 3 leaf stage but before jointing. Do not use on Ogle, Porter or Premier varieties as crop injury can occur.

Since this product has very little or no soil activity it controls only those weeds that have germinated therefore, apply this product when all or most of the weeds have germinated. Annual broadleaf weeds must be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing and less than 4 tall or wide. Do not harvest within 45 days of the last application. CEREALS USE RATE Use 1/3 ounce of this product per acre (except oats) for heavy infestation of those weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal (refer to "BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS" section of this label for best performance). Use 1/6 to 1/4 ounce of this product per acre (except oats) for light infestation of weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Conditions at application should be optimum for effective treatment of these weeds. Two applications of this product may be made per season provided the total amount does not exceed 1/3 ounce per acre. OATS USE RATE Use 1/6 ounce of this product per acre for control of light populations of the weeds listed in "WEEDS CONTROLLED" table. In oats this product must be tank mixed with another registered herbicide. Do not make more than one application of this product per crop season on oats. TANK MIXTURES FOR CEREALS 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. With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester) This product may be tank mixed with 2,4-D and MCPA (preferably ester formulations) herbicides for use on wheat, barley, oats, and triticale. For best results, add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 1/8 to 3/8 pound active ingredient per acre. In tank m ixes containing 1/8 pound active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acre, add 1 to 2 pints of nonionic surfactant; in tank mixes containin g 1/4 to 3/8 pound active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acre, add 1 pint of nonionic surfactant. Higher rates of 2,4-D or MCPA may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate allowed by those respective labels. When using rates of 3/8 pound ai per acre or higher, use of additional nonionic surfactant may not be needed, unless specified otherwise in the 2,4-D or MCPA label, or local guidance. With 2,4-D or MCPA (amine or ester) and Dicamba (such as Diablo, Banvel, Clash or Clarity) This product may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba (such as Diablo, Banvel, Clash or Clarity) and 2,4-D or MCPA. Make applications at 1/6 to 1/3 ounce of this product + 1-1.5 ounce active ingredient dicamba (such as Diablo, Banvel, Clash or Clarity)
- 1/4 to 3/8 pound active ingredient of 2,4-D or MCPA (ester or amine) per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy . Add 1 to 2 pints of nonionic surfactant to the 3 way mixture, where necessary, as deemed by local guidance. Use of additional nonionic surfactant may not be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester phenoxy formulations. Consult the specific 2,4-D or MCPA and dicamba labels, or local guidance for more information. Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node).

Tank mixes of this product with Hoelon 3EC may result in reduced grass control. With Fungicides This product may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on cereal crops. With Insecticides This product may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on cereal crops. However, under certai n conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2 to 4 leaf stage), tank mixtures or sequential applications of this produ ct with organophosphate insecticides (such as Lorsban) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to or soon after application. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas. Do not apply this product within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in-furrow treatment since crop injury may result. Do not use this product plus Malathion since crop injury may result. With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixin g this product in fertilizer solution. This product must first be pre-slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0- 0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while this product is added. Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting. If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 1/2 pint to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.06 to 0.25% v/v) based on local recommendations. When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with this product and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (see manufacturer’s label). Additional surfactant may not be needed when using this product in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or Nufarm representative for a specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures. Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of straight or dilute nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult your agric ultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or Nufarm representative for a specific recommendation before using nitrogen fertilizer carr ier solutions. Do not use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response. Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0. BURNDOWN (POST-HARVEST, FALLOW, PRE-PLANT) APPLICATION TIMING This product may be applied as a burndown treatment to control emerged weeds in the fall or spring.

Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any companion products before using these tank mixtures. [EXPRESSSUN® SUNFLOWERS Eti 119 01 H-D is intended for application only to sunflowers with the ExpressSun® trait for tolerance to Eti 119 01 H-D. Apply only on sunflowers labeled ExpressSun® and warranted by the seed supplier to have tolerance to direct application of Eti 119 01 H-D herbicide. DO NOT apply Eti 119 01 H-D to sunflowers that lack tolerance to Eti 119 01 H-D. APPLICATION TIMING Apply Eti 119 01 H-D to ExpressSun® sunflowers any time from the 2-leaf stage of growth up to but not including the bud formation stage. Temporary crop yellowing may be observed shortly after application of Eti 119 01 H-D, especially when applied to crops growing under environmentally stressful conditions. Depending upon rainfall or other environmental conditions, annual weeds may have a second flush of germinating seedlings. To maximize control of such weeds, it may be necessary to apply Eti 119 01 H-D again, 14 or more days after the prior application. The combined rate of the postemergence applications cannot exceed 2/3 ounce per acre of Eti 119 01 H-D per use season. Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D to ExpressSun® sunflower fields in which germination is uneven (i.e., some plants are outside the specified leaf stage for application), as crop injury may result. Application to ExpressSun® sunflowers that are, or have been, stressed by severe weather conditions, frost, abnormally hot or co ld or wet or dry conditions, low fertility, drought, water saturated soil, disease and/or insect damage prior to application may result in crop injury. If the above stress conditions are expected to occur within 3 days after application of Eti 119 01 H-D to ExpressSun® sunflowers, crop injury may also occur. Do not apply Eti 119 01 H-D within 70 days of sunflower harvest. EXPRESSSUN® SUNFLOWER USE RATE Apply Eti 119 01 H-D at a rate of 1/6 to 1/3 oz/A. Use the 1/3 oz/A rate when weed infestation is heavy or predominantly consists of those weeds listed under the "Weeds Partially Controlled" section of this label, or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal. Do not apply more than 2/3 oz/A of Eti 119 01 H-D postemergence during the same sunflower growing year. CULTIVATION A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond the maximum size at application, and/or weeds that emerge after an application of Eti 119 01 H-D. • Cultivation up to 7 days before the postemergence application of Eti 119 01 H-D may decrease weed control by pruning weed roots, placing the weeds under stress, and/or covering the weeds with soil and preventing coverage by Eti 119 01 H-D. • Do not cultivate for 7 days after application to allow Eti 119 01 H-D to fully control treated weeds. • Optimum timing for cultivation is 7 – 14 days after a postemergence application of Eti 119 01 H-D.

Apply prior to jointing. Note: The 1/3 ounce rate of this product should be used only for the control or suppression of problem weeds like wild carrot where the benefit of weed control can be offset by possible crop injury including possible yield reduction. SPRAY EQUIPMENT For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc. Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before ap plication. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will en sure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drif t. Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift refer to Spray Drift Advisories section of label. Continuous agitation is not required to keep this product in suspension, but may be required to keep tank mix partners in solut ion or suspension. Refer to tank mix partner labels for additional information. APPLICATION METHODS
12
GROUND APPLICATION For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium spray droplets. Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce drift provided spray volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds. For optimal product performance and minimal spray drift adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height listed in manufacturer’s specifications. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury. For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gallons per acre (GPA). For flood nozzles on 30" spacing, use flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent), a pressure of at least 30 psi and a spray volume of at least 10 gallons per acre only. For 40" nozzle spacing, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacing use at least 20 gallo ns per acre. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. Raindrop RA nozzles are not recommended for this product applications, as weed control performance may be reduced. Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger. For application in California refer to the “CALIFORNIA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CROPS” section of this label for specific ground application requirements. AERIAL APPLICATION For aerial application select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarse spray and that provide optimum spray distribut ion and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 gallons per acre. Use at least 2 gallons per acre In Idaho Oregon and Utah use at least 3 gallons per acre. Do not apply this product by air in the state of New York. For aerial applications do not apply during a temperature inversio n when wind speed is less than 3 mph or above 10 mph or when conditions favor poor coverage and/or off target spray drift. See the “Spray Drift Advisories” section of this label. For application in California refer to the “CALIFOR NIA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CROPS” section of this label for specific aerial application requirements. CHEMIGATION This product may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems in the State of Idaho for use in fall-seeded wheat, spring see ded barley and spring seeded wheat. Use 1/4 to 1/3 ounce per acre of this product in combination with bromoxynil containing herbicides at 3 to 6 oz/A active ingredient (such as "Bison", "Broclean", "BROX", "Maestro", or "Moxy"). Apply to wheat and barley after the 3-leaf stage but before the flag leaf is visible. Make only one chemigation application of this tank mixture per crop year. For best r esults, apply to broadleaf weeds up to the 4-leaf stage, or 2 inches in height or 1 inch in diameter, whichever comes first. Apply this tank mix through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid set or hand move irrigation systems only. Do not apply these herbicides through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treat ed water. If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for application of this product to any public water system. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriate ly located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow. The pesticide injection pipeline must c ontain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide i njection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being with drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is eith er automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected . Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e. g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. CHEMIGATION REQUIREMENTS
- In center pivot and continuous lateral move systems, apply Eti 119 01 H-D +bromoxynil containing herbicides continuously for the duration of the water application. In solid set systems, apply the tank mix during the last 30 to 45 minutes of the irrigation.
- Set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre for best product performance.
- Fill the supply tank with half of the water amount desired, add the Eti 119 01 H-D and agitate it well. Add the bromoxynil containing herbicide and then add the remaining water amount with agitat ion. Bromoxynil containing herbicides require a dilution with at least 4 parts water to 1 part bromoxynil containing herbicide.
- Agitation is required in the pesticide supply tank when applying this tank mix.
- Inject the Eti 119 01 H-D + bromoxynil containing herbicides solut ion at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn of irrigationp i p e to insure adequate mixing. Allow sufficient time for the herbicide mixture to be flushed through the lines before turning off irrigation water.
- Follow both Eti 119 01 H-D and bromoxynil containing herbicides label instructions for spray tank cleanout both before and aft er
13
application. Flush lines with clean water following application. 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility o f the applicator. SPRAY ADJUVANTS - ALL CROPS AND USES Include a spray adjuvant with applications of this product. In addition an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be used. Consult your Ag dealer or applicator local Nufarm fact sheets and technical bulletins prior to using an adjuvant system. If another herbicide is tank mixed with this product, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA exempt ingredients. NONIONIC SURFACTANT (NIS) Apply at a rate (concentration) of 0.06-0.5% v/v (0.5 to 4 pints per 100 gallons spray solution). Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12. CROP OIL CONCENTRATE (COC) PETROLEUM OR MODIFIED SEED OIL (MSO) Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under and conditions MSO adjuvant s may be used at 0 5% v/v if specified on local Nufarm product literature or service policies. Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality petroleum (m ineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfa ctant emulsifiers. SPECIAL ADJUVANT TYPES Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO, and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions. In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by Nufarm product management.

AMMONIUM NITROGEN FERTILIZER Use 2 quarts per acre of a high quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) such as 28%N or 32%N or 2 pounds per acre of a spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts per acre UAN or 4 pounds per acre AMS under arid conditions. See “TANK MIXTURES” “With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer” for instructions on using fertilizer as a carrier in place of water [CALIFORNIA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CROPS The following drift management requirements must be followed to minimize the potential for exposure of sensitive crops. Determine the prevailing wind speed and direction before application. Spray quality Apply with nozzles that give a coarse droplet size spectrum (volume median diameter (VMD) of 350 - 400 microns) and minimize droplets that are less than 200 microns. For aerial application Nozzle orientation Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplet size spectrum and the lowest drift. Spray volume Apply a spray volume between 5 and 10 GPA. Wind speed Avoid spraying when sustained wind speeds approach or exceed 10 mph. Avoid applications in gusty wind conditions. Aircraft equipment Boom length should be 75 percent or less of wing span . For helicopters use a boom length and position that prevents droplets from entering the rotor vortices. Application height Application at more than 10 feet above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift. Applications must be made at the lowest application height that provides uniform coverage and should be consistent with safe operation of the aircraft. For ground application Wind Speed Avoid spraying when sustained wind speeds approach or exceed 10 mph. Avoid applications in gusty wind conditions Boom height – ground sprayers Apply with a boom height no greater than 4 feet above the top of the largest plants. The buffer zones may be reduced when application is made with a low boom (20 inches) above the top of the crop canopy. The boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. California Buffer Zones The following buffer zones between the treated area and sensitive crops are required when these sensitive crops are downwind of the application site: Sensitive Crop Ground Application Low Boom Ground Application High Boom Aerial Application Tomato, Cucumber, Sugarbeet 350 ft. 500 ft. 1300 ft.

For best results, use this product in a tank mix with Starane, Starane + Salvo, Starane + Sword, dicamba (such as Diablo, Banvel, Clash or Clarity) and 2,4-D or MCPA (ester or amine), or bromoxynil containing products (such as Maestro 2EC, Buctril, Bison, Maestro MA, Bronate, Maestro Advanced, Bronate Advanced or Rhino). . MIXING INSTRUCTIONS PRODUCT MEASUREMENT This product can be measured using this product’s volumetric measuring cylinder included in the case. The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
- While agitating, add the required amount of this product.
- Continue agitation until this product is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
- Once this product is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. This product should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
- As the tank is filling, add tank mixture partners (if desired) then add the required volume of spray adjuvant. Always add spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for optimum stability of this product.
- If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
- Apply this product spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
- If this product and a tank mixture partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry this product in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mixture partner from interfering with the dissolution of this product. BEFORE SPRAYING The spray equipment must be cleaned before this product is spra yed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of th e previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in the After Spraying this product section of this label. AT THE END OF THE DAY When multiple loads of this product herbicide are applied, it is recommended that at the end of each day of spraying the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the application equipment. AFTER SPRAYING THIS PRODUCT AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS AND TRITICALE To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications of this product as follows:
- Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Physically remove any visible deposits.
- Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gallon of household ammonia* (contains 3% active ingredient) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleanin g solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
- Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
- Repeat step 2.
- Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
- If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) listed on this label. Do not exceed the
16
maximum-labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
- Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or a Nufarm-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual c leaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or Nufarm representative for a listing of approved cleaners. Notes: PRECAUTION: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia because dangerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area.
- Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended prior to perfor ming the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal o f any caked deposits.
- When this product is tank mixed with other pesticides, cleanout procedures for each product should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
- In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout gu idelines on subsequently applied products should be followed as per the individual product labels.
- Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment freque ntly being switched between applications of this product and applications of other pesticides to sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is recommended that a sprayer be dedicated to this product to further reduce the chance of crop injury.
