ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Groundwater Advisory: Chlorsulfuron is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory: 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 su rface water via runoff for weeks after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of chlorsulfuron from 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.
Non-target Organism Advisory: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including polli nators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organi sms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, re fer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.

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.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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 droplet 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 application, 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 droplet size (ASAE S572.3). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3). • 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 (ASAE S572.3) 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
4 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 wi ll reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the appl ication. 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 are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditio ns, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature invers ion. 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 genera tor. 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 wi nd 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.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, ETI 123 01 H-D2 cont ains the Group 2 herbicide chlorsulfuron. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Nufarm Chlorsulf SPC 75 WDG Herbicide and other Group 2 herbic ides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population
5 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 in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, pr opagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biot ypes 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 Nufarm Chlorsulf SPC 75 WDG Herbicide or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing season s with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a di fferent group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equa lly as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified cr op 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 cr op rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not th e weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout before and after herbicide application to mo nitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herb icide 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 species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the af fected 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 harves ting and tillage equipm ent when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist 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 contact] at [one of][any of] the following] [X]-XXX-XXX-XXXX] [[,][or 1-800-345-3330 ,][or [Nufarm e-mail address] [][,][or]] [Nufarm website] ,][or[XXXX]].] It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticid es 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 th at each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanism of action. Co-formulated active ingred ients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be contro lled by only one of the active ingredients in this product. Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
- Failure to control a weed species normally cont rolled 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.
6 Naturally occurring weed biotypes which ha ve been shown to be resistant to AMBER® herbicide, ALLY® herbicide, FINESSE® herbicide, EXPRESS® herbicide or HARMONY® Extra herbicide will also be resistant to ETI 123 01 H-D2. GENERAL INFORMATION
ETI 123 01 H-D2 contains the active ingredient chlorsulfuron which is a herbicide recommended for control of many broadleaf weeds found in barl ey, spring oat and in winter oat, triticale, and wheat (including durum) grown in Texas, Western Oregon, and Western Washington ·and tall fescue grown for seed in Oregon and Washington. ETI 123 01 H-D2 is a dry flowable formulation which is not corrosive, not flammable, and not volatile. It must be mixed with water or added directly to liquid nitrogen fertilizer so lutions. A surfactant is to be added to the spray mix unless otherwise noted in other sections of this label.
Both preemergent and postemergent applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 will control weeds. Preemergence activity is optimized when ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied prior to weed seed germination. Sprinkler irrigation or rainfall help s to move residues of ETI 123 01 H-D2 into the soil and close to the weed root zone. Optimum· weed control from postemergence applications is achieved when weeds are young and acti vely growing when ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied. Several factors (including use rate, weed growth stage and degree of infestation at the time of ·application, and post-application weather conditions) will affect the range of weeds controlled and the length of residual activity. Note: In some sections of this label, ETI 123 01 H-D2 applications are described for certain parts of some States. The Directions for Crop Rotation tables at the end of this label provide the counties or landmarks that define more specifically the use areas in those states.
PESTICIDE HANDLING All operators must be trained handling in the proper handling of this herbicide. All spray equipment must be routinely che cked and calibrated prior to use. Store this product away from well sites. Dose levels must be verified before mixing. Prepare spray solutions according to the directions on this label and dispose of container rinsates by adding to the spray tank. Do not prepare more spray solution than is necessary fo r the day's application. Read and follow all precautions and restrictions on this label.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND ACTIVATION OF ETI 123 01 H-D2 ETI 123 01 H-D2 moves into plan ts by absorption through the roots and foliage and rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. Within one to three weeks after application, weed growth slows, leaves of susceptible plants become yellow to white in color, and growing points die. For optimum preemergence control of target weeds, ETI 123 01 H-D2 needs to reach the weed roots. Rainfall after an application moves the ETI 123 01 H-D2 into the soil and the weed root zone. In postemergence applications, poor weed control may be observed if rainfall occurs shortly after application. Under cold, dry conditio ns movement of ETI 123 01 H-D2 into the root zone will be delayed. ETI 123 01 H-D2 is less effective to weeds hardened off by cold weather or under stress from lack of water.
Optimum control of weeds shaded by a ra pidly growing crop is achieved with a postemergent application of ETI 123 01 H-D2. Ineffective control of weeds may be seen where crop stands are thin or in sections with gaps in seeding. If the canopy of the crop completely intercepts the spray solution, weed control will be reduced. - Under most normal conditions, ETI 123 01 H-D2 will not harm labeled desirable grasses. Injury to crops may result from application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 to crops that are growing under stress (due to extreme temperatures or moisture , abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices) or to certain sensitive varieties of the crops.

GRAZING RESTRICTIONS There are no grazing restrictions when using ETI 123 01 H-D2.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING TANK MIXES OF ETI 123 01 H-D2
- Using clean fresh water, fill the spray tank ¼ to 1/ 3 full. If a liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution is used in place of water, refer to the Tank Mixtures with ETI 123 01 H-D2 in Cereal Crops section for additional details.
- Begin agitation and then add the required amount of ETI 123 01 H-D2.
- Allow the solution to agitate for 5 minutes to completely disperse the dry flowable ETI 123 01 H-D2 formulation.
- Continue agitation and fill the spray tank with the remaining water. Do not add any other material until the ETI 123 01 H-D2 is thoroughly mixed with the water.
- As the tank is filling with the remaining amount of water, add any tank mix partners followed by the necessary volume of nonionic surfactant. Always add the surfactant last. Do not mix ETI 123 01 H-D2 with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution below 3.0. Additional information is found in the section on Surfactants under the Cereal Crops part of this label.
- NOTE: Continuous agitation is required or settling will occur. Before spraying, reagitate the solution to ensure a uniform solution is sprayed.
- Make only a sufficient amount of ETI 123 01 H-D2 spray mixture that can be used within 24 hours of mixing. The product may degrade if allowed to sit unused.
- For application of multiple loads of ETI 123 01 H-D2 and a tank mix partner, make a pre- slurry of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in clean water and then add to the spray tank. This pre-mix helps to prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the ETI 123 01 H-D2.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT FOR APPLICATION OF ETI 123 01 H-D2 Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations fo r additional information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc. Use calibrated air or ground equipment, and apply in a spray volume and delivery system to ensure a thorough, uniform spray coverage of we ed pests. Use precautions to minimize drift. Higher spray volumes will produce better coverage to dense canopies of weeds. Do not overlap sprays. To avoid injury to desirable species, turn off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping. Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might cause spray drift onto nontarget. sites. Additional information is provided in the sections Spray Drift Management and Cereal Crops. Use application equipment that will ensure constant agitation of ETI 123 01 H-D2 spray solutions.
HOW TO CLEAN SPRAYER EQUIPMENT Clean all spray equipment before making an application of ETI 123 01 H-D2.
Immediately after an application or multiple ap plications of ETI 123 01 H-D2, clean all spray equipment using the cleanup procedures described on the labels of previo usly applied products. If there are no cleanup directions, use the foll owing cleanup procedures. After spraying is completed at the end of the day, rinse the interior of the tank with fresh water. Partially refill the tank with fresh water and flush the boom and hose s. These rinses will prevent deposits of dried pesticide residues that can remain in the application equipment. Residues of ETI 123 01 H-D2 that remain in the spray equipment may injure desirable crops if the equipment is used to make applications to crop s other than barley, oats, wheat, or other labeled crops. Use the following steps to clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2:
8
- Drain the spray tank and then use fresh water to rinse the interior surfaces of the tank. Then flush the tank, boom, and hoses with water for at least 5 minutes. Physically remove any solid deposits that are found around the equipment.
- Use fresh clean water to fill the tank and add one gallon of household ammonia (3%) † per 100 gallons of water. Flush. the boom, hoses, and nozzles with this cleaning solution. Completely fill the tank with fresh water and circulate the solution through the tank and hoses for 15 minutes. Flush the boom, hoses, and nozzles, and then drain the tank.
- Remove and clean the nozzles and screens separately. Use a bucket filled with the cleaning solution.
- Repeat step 2.
- Use clean water to rinse the tank, boom and hoses.
- If the cleaner used is only ammonia, the rinsate solution may be discarded by being applied to the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, disp ose of the rinsate on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility. † Other Etigra-approved cleaning solutions or different strengths of ammonia solution can also be used as cleaning agents. Use the same amounts as noted in step 2, above. Carefully follow the directions for use on the labels of the individual cleaner. Consult your Agricultural dealer, applicator, or Etigra representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
Notes for Sprayer Equipment Cleaning: • Caution! Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia as dangerous gases will form. Clean equipment in well-ventilated areas. • Before following the above cleanout procedure for aerial spray tanks, a steam-cleaning of the tanks is recommended to aid in removing caked deposits. • Follow the most rigorous cleanout procedure for all pesticides which are tank-mixed with ETI 123 01 H-D2. • After completing the above clea nout procedure and before using the sprayer equipment to make the next pesticide application, clean ou t the sprayer following the procedures on the pesticide product label that will be applied. • It is recommended that a dedicated sprayer be kept for ETI 123 01 H-D2 applications during the growing season. Dedicated equipment for ET I 123 01 H-D2 applications will help to minimize the potential for injury to ETI 123 01 H-D2-sensitive crops if routine spraying practices include equipment shared between applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 and applications of other pesticides during the same spray season. FIELD BIOASSAY DIRECTIONS If crops not listed on this label are to be rotated into areas previously treated with ETI 123 _01 H- D2, or if crops are planted at shorter intervals than those listed in the section Directions for Crop Rotation, a field bioassay test must be carried out to determine if these crops can be replanted without injury. In some ca ses, residues of ETI 123 01 H-D2 can re main in the soil for up to 2 to 4 years after application and may injure crops other than barley, oats, wheat, or other labeled crops that are planted in treated soils. Carefully plan your planting and rotation crop strategy before applying ETI 123 01 H-D2.
The conditions that favor breakdown of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in soils include .locations with soils that have a pH less than 7.0, regions that .receive ov er 20" of annual rainfall, and areas with a long growing season that lead to warm soil temperatures. Conversely, residues of ETI 123 01 H-D2 breakdown more slowly in soils with pH over 7.0, at locations that receive little annual rainfall, and in regions with prolonged periods of soil temperat ures below 40'F. Due to the variation from year to year of rainfall and soil temperatures, it is not possible to accurately predict when soils treated with ETI 123 01 H-D2 can be rota ted to crops other than barley, oats, wheat, or other labeled crops.
9
However, a field bioassay of ETI 123 01 H-D2-tre ated fields can provide assurance that crops other than barley, oats, wheat, or other labeled crops can be safely planted. Follow the steps below to carry out a field bioassay of treated ETI 12 3 01 H-D2-treated fields with the crop(s) to be rotated. Additional information on the procedures for carrying out field bioassays can be obtained from your local dealer or Etigra representative.
- Test the crop or crops intended to be plante d the year following a treatment with ETI 123 01 H-D2 by growing the crop or crops in smal l plots which received the ETI 123 01 H-D2 treatment. The crop's response will determine the feasibility of rotating. these crops to large areas which had been treated with ETI 123 01 H-D2. For reliable results, be sure to choose ETI 123 01 H-D2-treated areas that ar e representative (areas with differences in soil texture or drainage, turnaround areas, eroded knolls, or alkaline spots). Use a sufficient number of planted strips for accura te results whether planting back to small or large fields.
- The test strips should be planted perpendicular to the direction in which the field was sprayed. Be sure the test strips are long enough so that they cross the width of several spray swathes. The larger the test strip (¼ to ½ acre per test strip is recommended), the more reliable the results will be.
- When planting the bioassay crop(s) in the te st strips, use standard tillage and seeding equipment.
- Select the crop(s) and variety(ies) you are co nsidering growing the following year in ETI 123 01 H-D2-treated soils. Prepare the seed beds as normally done but make sure you plant at the same time and use the same cond itions and all cultural practices normally carried out when growing these bioassay crops. To test the effectiveness of these practices, prepare a test strip that has not been treated with ETI 123 01 H-D2 and plant the bioassay crop in that strip.
- Avoid the use of herbicides that may damage the bioassay crop(s).
- A successful result is obtained when the bioassay crop(s) in the test strip(s) have grown to maturity with a normal harvest. Rotation to this new crop in ETI 123 01 H-D2-treated fields may be carried out in the following season.
- Do not rotate to the bioassay crop(s) if the bioassay crop(s) in the test strips dies, is stunted, or fails to yield a normal harvest. These results indicate residues of ETI 123 01 H- D2 are present in the soil. Rotation to barley, oats, wheat, or other labeled crops will not result in injury to those crops. Repeat the bioassay until a successful result is obtained and then rotate to the new crop(s). INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT ETI 123 01 H-D2 may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This program relies on tillage (or other mechanical), biological, cultural, and chemical control practices to prevent economic pest damage. IPM princi ples and practices include field monitoring, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, correct identification of target pests, population monitoring, and treatment wh en target pest populations reach a locally- determined action thresholds. Consult your stat e cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine the action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.
CEREAL CROPS
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS-CEREALS Read the following restrictions and precautions to avoid injury to or loss of desirable trees or other desirable plants or vegetation. • Before using ETI 123 01 H-D2, consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity of barley, oats and wheat varieties to various herbicides. if the sensitivity of the crop variety is unknown, test ETI 123 01 H-D2 on a small area of the crop variety. • To avoid injury, do not apply ETI 123 01 H- D2 to barley, oats or wheat growing under conditions of stress (severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soils,
10
disease, or insect damage). Injury to these crops is possible if application is followed by severe winter stress including drought, disease, or insect damage. • To avoid injury to forages, do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 to barley, oats or wheat which are undersown with legumes. • To avoid possible crop injury, do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 during boot or early heading. • Do not use this product on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. • Use caution to avoid spray drift or direct or indi rect contact of sprays onto desirable plants or areas adjacent to treated fields. • To minimize off-site movement of product on treated soils which can lead to damage of susceptible crops, do not apply if soils are p owdery, dry or light, or sandy unless rainfall, mulch or other cultural practices stabilize these soils. Treated soil particles may move off-site to non-target crop sites through wind or water. Low levels of ETI 123 01 H-D2 may injure or kill crops other than barley, oats and wheat. • To avoid the possibility of surface runoff, do no t apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 to frozen ground or to snow-covered ground. • Do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 to i rrigated land if the tailwater wi ll be used to irrigate other crops. • To avoid severe injury or death, do not drain or flush equipment rinses on or near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their ro ots may extend, or in areas where the product may be washed or moved into contact with desirable plant roots. • Clean all spray equipment according to the direct ions in this label. Residues remaining in spray equipment may damage crops (other than wheat, barley and oats). • Do not harvest grain until 45 days after ETI 123 01 H-D2 application. Pacific Northwest: • Do not make preemergence applications or early postemergence applications (2-4 leaf stage) to wheat or barley during late fall or winter. The combined stress from weather and the herbicide application can lead to greater crop injury than from stress due to weather or herbicide application alone. Far-western Kansas (last tier of counties along the Colorado/Kansas border), Western Nebraska, Eastern New Mexico, and the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles: • Do not use a tank mix containing ALLY® herbicide until 22 months after an ETI 123 01 H- D2 application. . • Do not use ETI 123 01 H-D2 in continuous cereals or cereal/fallow/cereal rotations. • Use ETI 123 01 H-D2 in a tank mix at a rate of 1/6 to 1/3 oz per acre only as a fallow treatment in corn or sorghum stubble in wheat/sorghum/fallow, or wheat/corn/fallow rotations. Use only other residual broadlea f herbicides which have different modes of action than ETI 123 01 H-D2. California, Northern Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: • Do not make an early season treatment unless a tank mix can be made. • Do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 during fallow. • Injury to spring wheat may occur from a combination of several factors: 1) crop is grown under stress (soil crusting, planting too deep, prolonged cold, wet weather, or drought) which lead to poor seedling vigor; and 2) ETI 123 01 H-D2 is used preemergence with other preemergence wild oat herbicides.
• Soils that contain 5% or more organic matter may result in poor preemergence weed control or suppression.
• Spring-germinating weeds growing in coarse-tex tured soils with pH levels greater than 7.0 which receive fall applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 may not be controlled or suppressed.
11
• To improve the postemergence control of weeds in wheel track areas when ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied by ground under dry, dusty field conditions, add 2,4-D or MCPA to the spray tank.
• Injury to crops is possible when 2,4-D or herbicides containing 2,4-D are applied preemergence within 2 weeks of planting spring cereals and ETI 123 01 H-D2 preemergence . or early postemergence applications are also made.
• If heavy precipitation follows an application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 plus ASSERT® tank mix, temporary discoloration and/or stunting or injury to the crop may occur. • Read and follow the rotation crop restrictions for land treated with FINESSE®, ALLY® , AMBER®, ASSERT®, or other longer residual herbicid es with the same mode of action prior to ETI 123 01 H-D2 applications.
SURFACTANTS Always add an Etigra-authorized, nonionic surfactant to spray tanks unless directions elsewhere on this label recommend against this addition. The surfactant must have at least 80% active ingredient and is to be applied at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1 to 2 qt per 100 gal of spray solution).
Use the higher specified surfactant rate with sp ray volumes of 5 GPA or less and when low rates of ETI 123 01 H-D2 are to be applied. A list of approved surfactants .can be obtained from your Agricultural dealer applicator or Etigra representative. Use an antifoaming agent if needed. Do not substitute low rates of liquid fertilizer for a surfactant. GROUND APPLICATION The use of flat-fan or low-volume flood . nozzles will provide optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage of spray solution. Use the following spray volumes for the type of nozzle selected: flat-fan nozzles - minimum 3 gal per a cre (GPA); flood jet or "Raindrop RA" nozzles - minimum 20 GPA; flood jet TK 5 to TK 7.5 or eq uivalent - minimum 10 GPA (30-inch spacing) to 13 GPA (40-inch spacing). It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. Screens must be 50-mesh or larger.
AERIAL APPLICATION Apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 at 1 to 5 gallons per acre using spray nozzle types and arrangements that optimizes spray distribution and coverage. In Idah o, Oregon, or Utah, apply at a minimum of 3 gallons per Acre. To prevent drift into adjacent areas or onto se nsitive crops, apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 by air using solid stream nozzles oriented straight back. To minimize spray drift, supplement aerial applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 with ground ap plications to borders an d edges of fields. See additional precautions in the section Spray Drift Management.
HOW TO MEASURE REQUIRED AMOUNTS OF ETI 123 01 H-D-2 The required amount of ETI 123 01 H-D2 can be measured using the volumetric cylinder supplied specifically for use with ETI 123 01 H-D2. If yo u do not have a measuring cylinder, weigh the product using a balance that has scales calibrated in ounces.

APPLICATION TIMING: Refer to the table below. Timing Other Application Directions Restrictions Preemergence (After Planting) to Winter Wheat and Winter Oat for Suppression of Annual Ryegrass Time the application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 to occur after seed planting but before emergence of crop. Activation of ETI 123 01 H-D2 from rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is required after application. Best timing for activation is prior to weed seed germination and development of an established root system. Plant wheat and oat seeds at least 1" deep. Delay applications of ETI 123 01 H -D2 in the Pacific Northwest (Western OR and Western WA) if cold or dry weather conditions exist. Make applications after the weather improves and after the crop begins to grow vigorously. (Refer to the section Postemergence to Winter Wheat and Winter Barley below). If organophosphate insecticides (such as disulfoton (Di- Syston®), etc.) have been applied in-furrow, Etigra does not recommend preemergence applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 to avoid crop injury. Do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 preemergence to barley. Use ETI 123 01 H -D2 only on winter wheat in North Central Texas and Southern Oklahoma and winter oat in Texas, Western Oregon, and Western Washington.
Postemergence to Winter Wheat, Winter Barley, and Triticale and Winter Oat Make an application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in the fall or spring, after the crop is in the 2 -leaf stage, but before boot. Crop injury may result from a combination of stress from herbicide application, cold weather and/or moisture. Therefore, it is recommended that late- seeded wheat or barley are treated with ETI 123 01 H- D2 after the crop has started to tiller. In the Pacific Northwest, crop stress (due to herbicide application and severe winter weather) may lead to injury, therefore, Etigra does not recommend late fall, winter or early spring applications of ETI 123 01 HsD2 unless crop is Use ETI 123 01 H-D2 only on winter oat in Texas, Western Oregon and Western Washington only.
Do not apply during boot or early heading as crop injury may result.
To prevent injury to crops, do not use ETI 123 01 H- D2 within 60 days of crop emergence if organophosphate insecticides

Timing Other Application Directions Restrictions well established and has started to tiller. (such as disulfoton (Di-Syston®) etc.) have been used as an in- furrow treatment. Postemergence to Spring Wheat, Durum †, Spring Barley, Triticale, and Spring Oat Pacific Northwest: Time application of ETI 123 01 H- D2 to occur any time the crops reach the 2 -leaf stage through the second joint stage but before the flag leaf is visible. All other areas: Time application of ETI 123 01 H -D2 to occur any time the crop reaches the 2-leaf stage but before boot. † Note: Apply to Vic durum after early tillering, but before boot. Winter and Spr ing Wheat For suppression only of the weeds listed below, apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 at 1/3 ounce per acre. Green Foxtail (pigeongrass) Yellow Foxtail Persian Darnel Foxtail/Pigeongrass (Green and Yellow): Make application to winter wheat, before planting spring wheat, or in spring to land which was fallow the previous year. Application in the spring to preemergent Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Northeast Wyoming only.
Do not make more than one application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 at the 1/3 oz/A rate. weeds provides best results. Applications made postemergent (but prior to foxtail that are more than 1" tall or are beyond the 1-2- leaf stage) that include a surfactant provide best results. Persian Darnel: Make application to winter wheat or before planting spring wheat. Applications made postemergent (but before the Persian Darnel is past the 2 leaf stage) that include a surfactant provide best results. NOTE: Either pre- or postemergence treatment requires ½ to 1" rainfall after application to move ETI 123 01 H -D2 into the weed root zone before weed seed germination and to suppress foxtail past the 2-3 leaf stage or Persian Darnel past the 2 -leaf stage. Inadequate suppression may occur without adequate rainfall if foxtail reaches the 2-3- leaf stage or Persian Darnel reaches the 3-leaf stage. However, too much rainfall may also result in poor suppression of these weeds. When applied in the fall, ETI 123 01 H-2D will provide more consistent weed suppression in most areas because adequate rainfall occurs to activate ETI 123 01 H -2D. When applied in the late spring, ETI 123 01 H- 2D may not give consistent weed suppression due to lack of adequate rainfall.
TANK MIXES WITH ETI 123 01 H-D2 IN CEREAL CROPS
Tank mixes of ETI 123 01 H-D2 with registered herbicides will control weeds listed in the Weeds tables above, and other weeds either not listed on th is label or that are resistant to ETI 123 01 H- D2. Tank mixes of ETI 123 01 H-2D with insecticides and fungicides registered for us on cereal crops and with liquid fertilizers are permitted as directed in the table below. Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for the tank mix partner. Before tank mixing the tank mix product with ETI 123 01 H-D2, be sure all recommendations on the herbicide label do not conflict with those on this label.
ETI 123 01 H-D2 Ounces Per Acre Tank-Mix Partner and Use Rate Application Directions Timing and Restrictions
1/6 to 1/ 3 oz. Insecticides Only insecticides registered for use on cereal grains may be used in these tank mixes. There are certain conditions (such as stress from drought, cold weather or warm days/cold nights post-application, or crops in the 2 -4 leaf stage), when tank mixes or sequential treatments of ETI 123 01 H-D2 and organophosphate insecticides (such as methyl or ethyl parathion, disulfoton, etc.) should be avoided. Temporary crop yellowing or crop injury may occur unless 1 these tank mixes have been tested on a small plot. If signs of crop injury are not evident 14 days after this test plot treatment, larger areas may be treated. Crop injury may occur from tank mixes of ETI 123 01 H-D2 plus Malathion.

If signs of crop injury are not evident 14 days after this treatment, larger areas may be treated. When an organophosphate insecticide such as disulfoton (Di-Syston®) has been applied in-furrow, crop injury may occur if ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied within 60 days of crop emergence. The potential for crop injury increases (due to stress from herbicide, cold weather and/or moisture) unless late-seeded winter wheat is treated after the crop has started to tiller. Postemergence Application in Spring Wheat: Time application to occur after emergence, but before the majority of plants have 4 total leaves on the main stem plus 2 tillers and do not apply after jointing begins. Do not apply to durum wheat. Tank-Mixes for Spring Wheat: Always include 2,4-D or dicamba to the tank mix of ETI 123 01 H-2D plus Everest®. • 2,4-D Amine or LV Ester (4 lbs./gallon formulations): apply at 0.25 to 0.75 pt per Acre • 2,4-D LV Ester (6 lbs/gallon formulations): apply at 0.17 to 0.5 pt per Acre • Dicamba (4 lbs/gallon formulations): apply at 2 to 4 fl oz per Acre
Other Additives for Use in Winter Wheat Non-ionic Surfactant (NIS): If directions allow this type of surfactant, use one that contains a minimum of 80% active ingredient at 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.5% v/v). If foaming becomes a problem, add an antifoaming agent. Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer: If a non-ionic surfactant is added to the spray solution, a high- quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN; for example 28%N or 3 2%N) may be added at the rate of 2 qt/Acre. Alternatively, add a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 lbs/Acre. If local conditions are arid, increase the rates to 4 qt/acre UAN or 4 lbs/acre AMS. Do not substitute low rates of liquid fertilizers for surfactants: add both ingredients to the spray solution. Carrier Solutions Other than Water (i.e., Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer): In place of water, a liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution may be used as the spray solution carrier. Before preparing large amounts of this solution, check that the fertilizer solution is compatible with ETI 123 01 H-D2 and EVEREST®. To prepare the tank mix solution, add ETI 123 01 H-D2 and EVEREST® to water to form a slurry and add this slurry to the liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Before the slurry of ETI 123 01 H-D2 and EVEREST ® is added to the liquid nitrogen solutions, begin the agitator and continue to agitate during the addition of the

ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC WEEDS IN CEREAL CROPS .
Annual Ryegrass in Southeast Oklahoma, Central and North Central Texas
Use an application rate of ½ oz per acre ETI 123 01 H-D2 preemergence. Ensure adequate rainfall (½ to 1") will occur after application to move ETI 123 01 H-D2 into the root zone of weeds before to ryegrass emerges. If too much rainfall has occurred and application is delayed until the fall, ETI 123 01 H -D2 will not provide adequate control of ryegrass and/or broadleaf weeds that germinate the following spring. A sequential treatment of ETI 123 01 H -D2 followed by LEXONE DF herbicide will provide best results. Although there are no grazing restrictions, it is best to remove any grazing cattle when fields are wet (muddy). This will prevent disturbance of the soil- herbicide barrier. Canada Thistle Time the application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 to occur after the majority of thistles emerge, are small (rosette stage to 4" - 6" tall) and are actively growing. Annual treatments may provide maximum Iong-term results. Flixweed, Tansymustard in Northern Idaho, Oregon and Washington For optimum postemergence results, apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 at 1/3 oz per acre as a tank mix with another herbicide (such as 2,4-D) which also controls these weeds. Flixweed, Tansymustard in All Other Areas Use ETI 123 01 H-D2 at a rate of 1/6 to 1/3 oz per acre. Apply to weeds when they are small and actively growing. Delay application when weather conditions (cold, dry weather before and/or after treatment) do not favor active weed growth. Make the application once temperature and rainfall improves, or as an alternate, apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 as a tank mix with 2,4- D or MCPA. Lambsquarters A minimum rate of 1/3 oz per acre of ETI 123 01 H-D2 provides best results when a fall application is made. Postemergence suppression: Tank mix ETI 123 01 H -D2 with either 2-4,D or MCPA once the majority of weeds have emerged (weeds will be less than 2" tall or 2" across) and are actively growing. Ensure weather conditions favor active weed growth (i.e., adequate soil moisture, daily temperatures are at least 60°F). The surfactant use rate is ½ to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution. Uniform and thorough coverage is important for best results. Prostrate Knotweed Fall applications provide optimum results. Sunflower in New Mexico, Oklahoma [Panhandle), and Texas Postemergence: Wait until the majority of sunflowers have emerged but before they are more than 2 inches in height before making an ETI 123 01 H-D2 application. The surfactant rate should be 2 qt per 100 gal of water. Preemergence: Make. an application of ETI 123 01 H- D2 in the early spring. Spring rainfall should move the ETI 123 01 H-D2 into the weed root zone which should prevent weed germination or weed root system development. Wild Buckwheat
Preemergence application of ETI 123-01 H-D2 to wild buckwheat provides optimum results. Postemergence applications work best from ETI 123 01 H- D2 tank mixes with 2,4-D, MCPA, BANVEL®JBANVEL® SGF, BUCTRIL® or BRONATE® and a surfactant. Direct sprays to emerged seedlings that are actively growing. Wild Garlic/Wild Onion ETI 123 01 H-D2 will only control aerial bulblet. Wild Radish Optimum results are achieved if ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied postemergence.

Foxtail in Montana and Northern Wyoming Only in Early Seeded Winter Wheat: These applications are recommended only for early seeded winter wheat when gr owing conditions are favorable (good soil moisture, moderate temperatures) for good stand establishment prior to winter dormancy. Refer to the table below for use directions.
Application Type† Use Rate, ounces ETI 123 01 H-D2 per Acre
Other Application Directions Precautions and Restrictions Incorporation (PPI) and Preplant Surface
(PPS) uniform broadcast spray not more than 3 weeks before the anticipated planting of early seeded winter wheat.
Plant Winter wheat any time after the ETI 123 01 H-D2 treatment.
A split application may be required when rainfall is high or if soils have a low pH (pH less than 6.5). techniques, Etigra recommends that the first time PPI or PPS is used only a small area is treated to test the success of weed control. Minimize movement or displacement of treated soil to prevent poor weed control in the seed row. Do not apply prior to late fall plantings. Weather conditions (cod/dry) delays seedling emergence and reduces seedling vigor and as a result, the winter wheat may be susceptible to injury from multiple factors (herbicide and weather stress). Do not plant barley or spring oats after PPI or PPS applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2. Split Applications A split application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 can be made in the fall postemergence and in the spring postemergence. Apply second application before boot stage. The recropping interval is based on the date of the last application and total amount of ETI 123 01 H-D2 used. Each application must be made with another broadleaf herbicide. Allow at least 30 days to elapse between applications. Do not make more than 2 applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 per crop. Do not apply early postemergence to late seeded wheat or barley. Temporary yellowing and stunting and may result in crop injury due to the combined stress from herbicide plus cold weather. The postemergence treatment to late seeded wheat or barley should be delayed until the crop has started to tiller. †NOTES: Incorporation (PPI) - Apply ETI 123 01 H- D2 and then mechanically incorporate to no deeper than 3" to 4". Incorporation may be done in a single pass or double pass (the second pass should be at right angles to the first pass). Use sweeps (duckfoot cultivator), spring tooth or field cultivator. A harrow pulled behind the primary incorporation implement may improve incorporation. Seeding after either PPI or PPS Treatment - Minimal soil disturbance is achieved using disc type drills but a hoe type drill may be used if drill spacing is not more than 10" wide and the tractor speed is at least 5 mph. Variable weed control may result from the hoe drill and will depend on the amount of soil displacement in seed row. If a harrow is pulled behind the hoe drill, the treatment effectiveness should increase.

Precautions and Restrictions Preemergence (after Planting) 1/3 oz. Apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 after planting but before the crop emerges. For best results, a uniform application should be made to a smooth seedbed. Do not apply preemergence to late fall seedlings. Weather conditions (cod/dry) delays seedling emergence and reduces seedling vigor. Delay treatment until crop emerges and weather conditions have improved sufficiently to allow wheat to show good vigor

Application Type Use Rate, ounces ETI 123 01 H- D2 per Acre
Other Application Directions
Precautions and Restrictions A split application may be required when rainfall is high or if soils have a low pH (pH less than 6.5).
Plant wheat at least 1" deep. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation after application is required to move ETI 123 01 H -D2 into the root zone before weed seeds germinate and develop an established root system. Do not apply preemergence (fall or spring) to irrigated durum wheat. Do not apply preemergence (fall or spring) to barley, spring oats or wampum variety of spring wheat as crop injury may result.
Crop injury may occur if ETI 123 01 H -D2 is applied preemergence after an organophosphate insecticide has been used as an in -furrow treatment. Split Applications A split application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 can be made in the fall postemergence and in the spring postemergence. Apply second application before boot stage. The recropping interval is based on the date of the last application and total amount of ETI 123 01 H-D2 used: Each application must be made with another broadleaf herbicide.
Allow at least 30 days to elapse between applications. Do not make more than 2 applications of ETI 123 01 H-D2 per crop. Do not apply early postemergence to late seeded wheat or barley. Temporary yellowing and stunting and may result in crop injury due to the combined stress from herbicide plus cold weather. The postemergence treatment to late seeded wheat or barley should be delayed until the crop has started to tiller.
Foxtail in Montana and Northern Wyoming Only
Application Type Use Rate, ounces ETI 123 01 H- D2 per Acre
Other Application Directions
Precautions and Restrictions Fall application before planting
1/3 oz. Apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 (1/3 oz/A) to either undisturbed stubble with straw that is evenly spread on ground or to a uniform soil surface that has been cultivated. After application, a shallow tillage (no more than 4" deep) may be done. In the spring use shallow tillage to prepare a seedbed. Do not moldboard plow. Fall application will not control Canada thistle that emerges the following spring. Do not plant irrigated durum wheat, spring barley, wampum spring wheat or spring oats after a fall application of ETI 123 01 H -D2
Foxtail in Montana and Northern Wyoming Only Dry Fertilizer Impregnation and Application to Winter/Spring Wheat and Durum
Impregnation - Only commercial fertilizer or chemical dealerships that are properly equipped for the impregnation processes are permitted to prepare this herbicide/fertilizer combination.
23
NOTE: Etigra recommends that only dealers that ha ve barley, oats, or wheat as their primary crop business use ETI 123 01 H-D2 impregnated on dry fertilizer. Extremely low levels of ETI 123 01 H-D2 will result in injury to other crops if residues remain in equipment and are mixed with other pesticides/fertilizers which are applied to crops other than barley, oats and wheat.
Do not impregnate more than 1/3 oz of ETI 123 01 H-D2 on a minimum of 150 lbs of dry fertilizer per acre.
- Prepare a slurry of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in water (1 part ETI 123 01 H-D2 to at least 5 parts water; use one 20 oz Jug in 3-4 qts water). Do not exceed slurry volume of 1 pt per 100 lbs of fertilizer. Keep the ETI 123 01 H-D2 agitated either by mechanical or recirc ulation methods to ensure the ETI 123 01 H-D2 remains in suspension during the impregnation process.
- For the impregnation step, add the dry fertilizer and the slurry of herbicide to a closed rotary drum-type mixer and mix and blend the materials over a sufficient amount of time to ensure uniform coverage of the fertilizer particles. Pl ace the delivery nozzle(s) inside the mixer in a manner that will deliver a uniform spray to the tumbling fertilizer. Use ETI 123 01 H-D2 impregnated dry fertilizer as soon as possible after blending.
- All equipment must be thoroughly cleaned of ETI 123 01 H-D2 residues before using the equipment for impregnation of fertilizer with othe r pesticides that will be applied to crops other than wheat, barley or oats. NOTE: All state regulations relating to dry bulk fert ilizer blending, registration, labeling and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the fertilizer/herbicide mixture. Application of Impregnated Fertilizer - The ETI 123 01 H-D2 impregnated dry fertilizer can be applied as an early fall treatment before planting or at post -crop emergence. Apply before planting in the spring. For spring wheat and durum that is planted into fall applications (refer to the section above on Fall Application Prior to Planting Sp ring Wheat (including Durum)). Use a properly calibrated applicator that will spread the fertilizer impregnated herbicid e uniformly. Etigra recommends that fan spreaders have 100% overlap: calibrate the fan spreader to deliver ½ the desired rate per acre and then apply in a pattern that overlaps and covers ½ of the previous swath. Incorporation - Fall: Sufficient fall and winter rain or snow is available to move ETI 123 01 H-D2 residues into the weed root zone so mechanical inco rporation is not needed for early fall applications. Late fall applications and a lack of sufficient rain or snow may result in poor weed control. However, should mechanical incorporation be carried out before planting, shallow-incorporate at no deeper than 3- 4 inches and use one of the following methods: • single pass • double incorporation with sweeps (duckfoot cultivator) followed by springtooth (flextine) harrow; • double-pass incorporation (second pass at right angle to first pass) with a culti-harrow, spike tooth or springtooth harrow or sweeps (duckfoot cultivator). Incorporation - Spring: Prior to spring planting, a mechanical incorporation is recommended. Follow the procedures described above for fall mechanical incorporation. Rainfall (1"-2") that follows a mechanical incorporation prior to weed emergence will give better weed control than if dry conditions persist.

APPLICATION TO TALL FESCUE GROWN FOR SEED - OREGON AND WASHINGTON ONLY
For control of wild carrot in Tall Fescue grown for seed, follow the directions for use of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in the table below. Note: There are no graz ing restrictions when using ETI 123 01 H-D2.
Timing of Application Use Rate, ounces ETI 123 01 H-D2 per Acre
Other Application Directions
Precautions and Restrictions Summer to early fall (postharvest to late
September)
¼oz. Emerged wild carrot: add a non-ionic surfactant (1 qt. per 100 gal. spray solution). Tank Mix: Add 0.5 to 1.0 lb Al of 2,4-D to Tall Fescue having little new foliar growth. This mixture helps to minimize crop injury. For use in Oregon and Washington only.
Crop oil or seed oil adjuvants may cause crop injury.
Reduced height of Tall Fescue may result from application of ETI 123 01 H-D2. Avoid spray overlaps or crop height and yields in those areas may be reduced.
Spring applications: Significant crop damage may result from application when Tall Fescue is actively growing.
Fall applications of ETI 123 01 H- D2 may not control wild carrot germination the following spring.
Severe crop injury may occur if ETI 123 01 H-D2 is applied with an organophosphate insecticide.
DIRECTIONS FOR CROP ROTATION
Do not treat all acres (wheat, barley, oat, or fall ow) at the same time with ETI 123 01 H-D2 if rotational crop plant ba ck flexibility is desired. Before using ETI 123 01 H-D2, plan your application and rotation crop strategy.
Follow the rotation crop intervals specified in the tables below. A field bioassay may be conducted if a shorter plant-back interval is desired. The tables below note Cumulative Precipitation in inches, which is defined as the amount of rainfall received from the date of ETI 123 01 H-D2 application to the date of planting. Do not rotate to the crops listed in the tables below until the next growing season if the listed cumulative precipitation has not been received.
MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVALS Minimum recropping intervals are defined as the amou nt of time that must elapse from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting. These intervals have been established based on how quickly ETI 123 01 H-D2 breaks down in the soil. Factors that influence the rate of breakdown include soil pH, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Soils that have a low pH (less than 7.0), high moisture (regions that receive over 20" of annual rainfall), and high soil temperatures (greater than 40°F) facilitate the breakdown of ETI 123 01 H-D2 in soil. Conversely, soils with high soil pH, low moisture and low soil temperatures tend to breakdown ETI 123 01 H-D2 more slowly.
25
Due to the variation from year to year in rainfall and soil temperatures and from region to region, it is important to monitor soil temperatures and soil moisture when crops will be planted back to ETI 123 01 H-D2 treated areas. SOIL pH LIMITATIONS If soils have a pH above 7.9, ETI 123 01 H-D2 shou ld not be applied to these fields or residues of ETI 123 01 H-D2 may persist. This residual activi ty may require crop rotation intervals longer than the timing listed in the table below in order to avoid injury to barley, oat, wheat or other sensitive crops. As described above, test the pH of the soils taken from different areas of the field prior to making any ETI 123 01 H-D2 application.
A field bioassay is required if soil pH is above 6.5. Note: Do not plant sorghum grown for hybrid seed production.
Testing Soil pH: Do not apply ETI 123 01 H-D2 until you have tested the soil pH in areas where treatment is planned. To determine the pH of the soil, sample soils taken from different, representative areas at depths of between 0 and 4 inches. Send the samples to a laboratory for individual pH determination using the 1:1; soil:water suspension method. Additional information on soil sampling can be obtained from local extension publications.
ROTATION CROP INTERVALS FOR PLANTING WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, RYE AND TRITICALE†: The minimum recropping interval are based upon the soil pH, the rate of ETI 123 01 H-D2 applied and the location. The minimum-recro pping interval is the amount of time that must elapse from the date of the last application to the anticipated date of planting. The crops - that can be rotated are listed under the corresponding minimum recropping interval column in the table below.

ROTATION CROP INTERVALS FOR PLANTING NON-CEREAL CROPS: GRAIN SORGHUM, SULFONYLUREA TOLERANT SOYBEANS (STS®) SOYBEAN, AND IMIDAZOLINONE RESISTANT (IR) CORN Minimum Rotation Crop Intervals: Refer to the information above under Minimum Recropping Intervals above. Before deciding to use ETI 123 01 H-D2, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. Do not treat all acres of barley, wheat or fallow acres at the same time to allow for rotational crop flexibility. The table below presents the recommended intervals (as designated by the symbol) for planti ng non-cereal grain crop s in irrigated or non- irrigated land after wheat, barley or fallow lands have been trea ted with ETI 123 01 H-D2. See additional information under the Catastrophic Crop Loss section below.
Soil pH Limitations: Refer to the information above under Soil pH Limitations. If soils have a pH above 7.9, ETI 123 01 H-D2 should not be applied to these fields or residues of ETI 123 01 H- D2 may persist. This residual activity may require crop rotation intervals longer than the timing listed in the table below in order to avoid injury to wheat or barley or other sensitive crops. As described above, test the pH of the soils taken from different areas of the field prior to making any ETI 123 01 H-D2 application.

Catastrophic Crop Loss: In the event of crop loss from natural disasters such as late freezing weather, hail damage, insect damage, or disease damage and an application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 has been made, the following can be planted at the designated time interval after the date of the ETI 123 0 1 H-D2 application:
29
• grain sorghum can be planted after 4 months if the soil pH is 7.3-7.5 • STS Soybeans and IR Corn can be replanted after 4 months if the soil pH is 7.5-7.9. These crops will exhibit temporary discoloration and/or crop injury when planted at this reduced interval after ETI 123 01 H-D2 application. Crop injury may be severe and the crop may not grow or develop normally, resulting in reduced yield. The degree of injury increases if the soil pH levels are high, if ETI 123 01 H-D2 was applied at the higher use rate, if the soil is dry after the application and before the rotation crop is plante d, or if a shorter rotation crop interval was chosen. In order to get a crop planted after this crop loss, the potential damage and yield loss must be acceptable to the grower. If a grower is not willing to accept this level of potential early season crop injury and yield loss, then he should follow the standard rotational guidelines in the table above. Additional information on the agronomic practices that can help to reduce crop injury may be obtained from your state experiment station, university, extension agent, or local crop consultant.
Precautions and Restrictions: To minimize injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation, observe these precautions and restrictions: • Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or ne ar desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in areas where the product may be washed or moved into contact with desirable plant roots. • Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. • Do not allow sprays to drift to adjacent non-target sites or onto desirable plants. • Do not contaminate any body of water. Clean all application equipment after use by following the directions in this label. • Sorghum, STS soybeans, and IR Corn may exhibi t temporary discoloration and signs of injury if these crops are planted after an application of ETI 123 01 H-D2 and ce rtain conditions exist (such as drought, prolonged cold weather, pH variability in the fields). • Do not apply to crops grown for seed.
