ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Groundwater Label Advisory Statement: This chemical has properties and characteri stics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. 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 several 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 thifensulfuron-m ethyl methyl and tribenuron-methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irriion 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 over-filling 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/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 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 (ASABE 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 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 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. WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, this product contains two Group 2 herbicides – thifensulfuron methyl and tribenuron methyl. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. 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, propagate, and be come 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 this product 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. Indicat ors 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. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requ irements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals. 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, including butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene rubber, or nitrile rubber, all 侔14 mils. Shoes plus socks. This product is for use on wheat (including durum), barley, oats, triticale and fallow in many states. Check with your state extension or Dept. of Agriculture before use, to be certain this product is registered in your state. Nufarm will not be responsible for los ses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not in accordance with instructions on this label. PRODUCT INFORMATION This product is a dry flowable granule that is used for selective post-emergence weed control in wheat (including durum), barley, oat, triticale and fallow. The best control is obtained when 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. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY This product is absorbed primarily through the foliage of plan ts, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible weeds. One to 3 weeks after application to weeds (2 to 5 weeks for wild garlic), leave s of susceptible plants appear chlorotic, 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 crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control. The herbicidal action of this product may be affected in crops stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil co nditions, cultural practices, or variations in crop variety. In warm, moist conditio ns, the expression of herbicide symptoms is acce lerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In additi on, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to this product. 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 • 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. • Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. • Do not apply this product by air in the state of New York. • Do not apply to wheat, barley, triticale or oat crops underseeded with another crop. • Do not harvest sooner than 45 days after the last application of this product. • Do not exceed the total rate of this product for wheat (includi ng durum), barley and triticale of 1.0 ounce product per acre pe r year. • Do not exceed the total rate of this product for oat (spring and winter) of 0.4 ounces product per acre per year. • When using this product in tank mixes or sequential applicatio ns with other products containing thifensulfuron-methyl and/or tribenuron-methyl, do not exceed the following limits: Use Active Ingredient Maximum oz ai per Single Application Maximum oz ai per Use Period Wheat, Barley, Triticale Thifensulfuron-methyl 0.45 0.75 Tribenuron-methyl 0.25 0.25 Oats Thifensulfuron-methyl 0.30 0.30

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, oats and triticale. Wheat, 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 sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, lim it the initial use of this product to a small area. Under certain conditions, such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather (daily high temperature less than 50°F), or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or so on after this product’s application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury m ay occur. 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. This product should not be applied to wheat, barley, oats and triticale that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought (including low levels of subsoil moisture), 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. Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.

Degree of control and duration of effect are dependent on rate used, sensitivity and size of ta rget weed, environmental condition s at the time of and followin g
application, and spray coverage. Best results are obtained when 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. However, typical symptoms of dying weeds (discoloration) may not be noticeable for 1-3 weeks after application (2-5 weeks for wild garlic) depending on the environmental conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of this product while cold, dry conditions delay the activity. Weeds hardened off by co ld weather, drought stress or too wet conditions will be less susceptible. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes* resistant to this product are known to exist. If weeds listed on this label are not satisfactorily con- trolled, respray problem areas in a timely and effective manner using a broadleaf herbicide having a different mode of action. *Biotypes are naturally occurring individuals of the species, which have a slightly different make-up. Resistant biotypes may l ook exactly the same as susceptible biotypes. Herbicide-resistant biotypes are able to survive a use rate several times higher than needed to control susceptible biotypes. APPLICATION TIMING Apply this product at least 45 days prior to planting corn, cotton, rice, grain sorghum or soybeans. Annual broadleaf weeds should be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, but less than 4 inches tall or across. See SPECIFIC WEED INSTRUCTIONS for information on vetch (hairy, common), wild garlic and wild radish. WEED CONTROL Application Rates: Apply this product at 0.5 - 0.6 oz per acre to control emerged weeds. Use 0.6 oz per acre rate when weed infestation is heavy an d predominantly consists of those weeds listed under PARTIAL CONTROL or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal. Reduce the application rate to 0.5 ounces for fields to be planted to cotton. Sequential treatments of this product to control emerged weeds may also be made provided the total amount of this product applied during one fallow cropland season does not exceed 1.0 oz per acre; for example, 0.5 oz in the fall followed by 0.5 oz in the spring. At le ast one of the sequential treatments should include a tank mix partner herbicide having a different mode of action than this product. Foliar absorption is the primary means of this product uptake by plants; therefore, thorough coverage of all target weeds is essential. Conditions which are conducive to healthy, actively growing plants optimize this product’s weed control performance. Ideal conditions include warm temperatures and adequate soil moisture before, during and immediately after application.

With Insecticides This product may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecti cides (or fungicides) registered for use on cereal grains. Howe ver, under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential applications of thi s product with organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. Te st these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas. Do not use this product plus Malathion, as crop injury will 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 mixing this product in fertilizer solution. This product must first be 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 the 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 1/4 qt -1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 - 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 cro p injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or Nufarm representative for a specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures. 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 is not needed when using this pr oduct in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitro gen fertilizer solutions. Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river, unacceptabl e crop response may occur with use of straight or dilute nitro gen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or Nufarm representative for a specific recommendation before using nitrogen fe rtilizer carrier solutions. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response. Do not use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant. Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0. SPRAY ADJUVANTS Always include a spray adjuvant with applications of this product. In addition to a spray adjuvant, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be used. Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, local Nufarm fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using an adj uvant 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 (40 CFR 1001). NONIONIC SURFACTANT (NIS) • Apply 0.06% to 0.50% volume/volume (1/2 to 4 pints per 100 gallon of spray solution). • Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12. • See the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional information.
PETROLEUM CROP OIL CONCENTRATE (COC) OR MODIFIED SEED OIL (MSO) • Apply at 1% volume/volume (1 gallon per 100 gallon spray solution) or 2% volume/volume under arid conditions. • Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleu m (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers. SPECIAL ADJUVANT TYPES • Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that prov ide 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 managemen t. Consult separate Nufarm technical bulletins for detailed information before using adjuvant types not specified on this label. 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. SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION WITH THIS PRODUCT AND BRONATE FOR POSTEMERGENCE WEED CONTROL IN WINTER & SPRING WHEAT & SPRING BARLEY IN IDAHO HOW TO USE Use 0.4 to 0.5 oz of this product per acre in combination with 3/4 to 1 1/2 pint Bronate per acre. Apply to wheat, barley and triticale 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 results, apply to broadleaf weeds up to the 4-leaf stage, or 2 inches in height or 1 inch in diameter, whichever comes first. Consult this product and Bronate package labels for list of weeds controlled/suppressed. SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION 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, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for th is product’s application 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 chec k valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriate ly located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide inj ection 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 withdrawn 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 whi ch will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affecte d. 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. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces. SURFACTANTS- ALL USES Unless otherwise specified, add a DuPont recommended nonionic surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 1 to 2 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.25 to 0.5% v/v -refer to TANK MIXTURES for specific adjuvant instructions when this product is used in a tank mix). For pre-plant burndown in Cotton, include a nonionic surfactant, petroleum based crop oil concentrate, or a vegetable-seed oil-based product (methylated seed oils are considered a vegetable seed-based oil). If another herbicide is tank mixed with this product to increase the broadleaf weed spectrum, select adjuvants based on the adjuvant limitations of the companion herbicide. Consult your agricultural dealer, applicator, or DuPont representative for a listing of recommended surfactants. Antifoaming agents may be used if needed. Do not use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant. GROUND APPLICATION - ALL USES For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles. For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA). For flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 GPA, flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent), and a pressure of at least 30 psi. For 40" nozzle spacings, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacings use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. Raindrop RA nozzles are not recommended for product applications, as weed control performance may be reduced. Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger. AERIAL APPLICATION - ALL USES Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 GPA. Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah. Do not apply this product by air in the state of New York. See the Spray Drift Advisories section of this label. 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 required to keep this product in suspension. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product. AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Consult the spray equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assist sprayer is recommended. SPRAYER CLEANUP The spray equipment must be cleaned before this product is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying This Product.
SPRAYER CLEANUP FOR MULTIPLE LOAD SPRAYING It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of this product are applied, 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 AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN WHEAT, BARLEY, TRITICALE AND OAT 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. Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits.
- Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammon ia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the ho ses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the cleani ng 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) recommended on this label. Do n ot exceed the 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 DuPont-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or DuPont representative for a listing of approved cleaners. Notes:
- CAUTION: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia as 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, all cleanout procedures should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
