ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Groundwater Advisory: Chlorsulfuron and Metsulfuron-methyl are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of labe l 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 surface water via ru noff 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 po tential loading of chlorimuron-methyl 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 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.
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 agenc y responsible for pesticide regulation. Pesticide Handling • Calibrate sprayers using only clean water and away from well sites. • Schedule routine inspections of spray equipment. • Assure all operation employees are instructed in how to accurately measure pesticides. • Prepare only enough spray solution for the job at hand. • Avoid overfilling of spray tank. • Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field/grove or mixing/loading station. • Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates/uses. • Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites. • After triple rinsing the pesticide container, add the rinsate to the spray mix.

WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES This product has the potential to move off-site due to wi nd 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 incl ude the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfa ll, and drainage patterns. Avoid applyi ng this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, ETI 122 01 H-D contains two Group 2 herbicides – chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to ETI 122 01 H- D and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biot ypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. A ppropriate 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 become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of ETI 122 01 H -D 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 target weed species is available, use th e less resistance-prone part ner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsu re 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 t hat considers tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout before and after herbicide application to moni tor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resist ance 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 particu lar weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistan ce 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 re sistant weed seeds to othe r fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certifie d 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 resist ance, 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 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 each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of action. 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: x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
Naturally occurring weed biotypes which have been shown to be resistant to AMBER® herbicide, ALLY® herbicide, GLEAN® FC herbicide, EXPRESS® herb icide or HARMONY® Extra herbicide will also be resistant to ETI 122 01 H-D.
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 manufa cturer, 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 An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. • 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 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ETI 122 01 H-D contains the active ingredients chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl which are herbicides recommended for control of many weeds found in wheat (including durum), barley and fallow. ETI 122 01 H-D is approved for use in all states (unless directed otherwise by supplemental labeling) except in the following counties in Co lorado: Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache. ETI 122 01 H-D is a dry flowable formulation which is not corrosive, not flammable, and not volatile. It must be mixed with water, or slurried with water before addition to liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. A surfactant is to be added to the spray mix unless otherwise noted in other sections of this label. The directions for use in this label describe how to apply ETI 122 01 H-D to provide weed control either preemergence (before weeds germinate) or postemergence (when weeds have emerged and are actively growing). Preemergence applications are optimi zed by sprinkler irrigation or rainfall just after
application so that ETI 122 O1 H-D will penetrate the soil to a depth of 2" to 3" and reach the weed seed area or weed root zone. Several factors determine the length of time weed s are controlled and how well weeds are controlled, including the type of weeds present, density and size of weeds, and the weather conditions at application and after application. The type of weeds present as well as their size will determine which use rate to select. Refer to the tables bel ow on use rates and list of weeds controlled. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ETI 122 01 H-D ETI 122 01 H-D moves into plants by absorption th rough the roots and foliage and rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. For optimum preplant and preemergence control of target weeds, ETI 122 01 H-D needs to reach the weed roots. Rainfall after an application moves the ETI 122 01 H-D into the soil and the weed root zone, and weeds will not emerge. There may be some instances when susceptible weeds will germinate and emerge shortly after application. With in 3 to 5 days of emergence, these weeds will stop growing, although some species may stay green an d be stunted. Within one to three weeks after application, weed growth slows, leaves of suscepti ble plants become yellow to white in color, and growing points die. Weather conditions that are dry and cold tend to delay the movement of ETI 122 01 H-D into the root zone, while wet and warm condition increases the speed in which effects of ETI 122 01 H-D are seen. In postemergence applications, poor weed control may be observed if rainfall occurs shortly (within 6 hours) after application.
Optimum control of weeds shaded by a rapidly growin g crop is achieved from use of ETI 122 01 H-D. 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 in tercepts the spray solution, weed control will be reduced. ETI 122 01 H-D is less effective to weeds hardened off by cold weather or under stress from lack of water. Under these conditions, control is ac hieved using a: tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D with other registered herbicides (such as 2, 4-D, or MCPA).
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT ETI 122 01 H-D 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 principles and practice s include field monitoring, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, correct identification of target pests, population monitoring, and treatment when target pest populations reach a locall y-determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, prof essional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine the action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area. SPRAY 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. Use calibrated air or ground eq uipment, and apply in a spray volume and delivery system to ensure thorough, uniform spray coverage of weed 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. Use application equipment that will ensure constant agitation of ETI 122 01 H-D spray solutions. Ground Application The use of flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles wi ll 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 Acre (GPA); flood jet on 30 inch spacings - minimum 10 GPA; flood nozzles (TK10, or equivalent, or smaller) at 30 psi - minimum 30 GPA; jet TK 5 to TK 7.5 or equivalent - minimum 13 GPA (40-inch spacing) to 20 GPA (60-inch spacing); "Raindrop" RA nozzles - minimum 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. Screens must be 50-mesh or larger.
Aerial Application Apply ETI 122 01 H-D at 1 to 5 gallons per Acre using spray nozzle types and arrangements that optimizes spray distribution and coverage. In Idaho, Oregon, or Utah, apply at a minimum of 3 gallons per Acre.
To prevent drift into adjacent area s or onto sensitive crops, apply ETI 122 01 H-D by air using solid stream nozzles oriented straight back. To minimize sp ray drift, supplement aerial applications of ETI 122 01 H-D with ground applications to borders and edges of fields. See additional precautions in the section Spray Drift Management.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING TANK MIXES OF ETI 122 01 H-D HOW TO MEASURE REQUIRED AMOUNTS OFETI 122 01 H-D The required amount of ETI 122 01 H-D can be measured using the volumetric cylinder supplied specifically for use with ETI 122 01 H-D. If you do not have a measuring cylinder, weigh the product using a balance that has scales calibrated in ounces.
PREPARING A TANK MIX OF ETI 122 01 H-D
- 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 table Tank Mixes with Other Products below for additional details.
- Begin agitation and then add the required amount of ETI 122 01 H-D.
- Allow the solution to agitate for 5 minutes to completely disperse the dry flowable ETI 122 01 H-D formulation.
- Continue agitation and fill the. spray tank ,with the remaining water. Do not add any other material until the ETI 122 01 H-D 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 122 01 H-D with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spra y solution below 3.0. Additional information is found in the section on Surfactants below.
- NOTE: Continuous agitation is required or settling wi ll occur. Before spraying, reagitate the solution to ensure a uniform solution is sprayed.
- Make only a sufficient amount of ETI 122 01 H-D sp ray 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 122 01 H-D and a tank mix pa rtner, make a pre-slurry of ETI 122 01 H-D 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 th e ETI 122 01 H-D. Be sure all ETI 122 01 H-D is suspended in the spray tank solution before adding any tank mix partner.
TANK MIXES Tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D with registered herbic ides may be applied to wheat, barley and fallow and will control or suppress weeds listed in the Weeds tables below, and other weeds either not listed on this label or that are resistant to ETI 122 01 H-D. Tank mixes. of ETI 122 01 H-D with insecticides and fungicides registered for use on wheat or barley, or wi th liquid fertilizers are permitted as directed in the section below on Tank Mixes with Other Products. Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for the tank mix partner. Before tank mixing the tank mix product with ETI 122 01 H-D, be sure all recommendations on the herbicide labels do not conflict with those on this label. Read the section on Preparing a Tank Mix of ETI 122 01 H-D, above, regarding preparation of pre-slurries of ETI 122 01 H-D before adding tank mix partners.
SURFACTANTS Always add an Etigra-authorized, nonionic surfactant to spray tanks unless directions elsewhere on this label recommend against this addition. The surfactant mu st have at least 80% active ingredient and is to be applied at 0.125 to 0.5% v/v (0.5 to 2 qt. per 100 gal of spray solution). Use the higher specified surfactant rate with spray volumes of 5 GPA or less and when low rates of ETI 122 01 H-D are to be applied. A list of approved surfactants can be· obti3ined 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.
HOW TO CLEAN SPRAYER EQUIPMENT Clean all spray equipment before making an application of ETI 122 01 H-D.
Immediately after an application or multiple applicat ions of ETI 122 01 H-D, clean all spray equipment using the cleanup procedures described on the labels of previously. applied products. If there are no cleanup directions, use the 6 step procedure describe d below before using this equipment to spray crops other than wheat or barley. 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 hoses. These rinses will prevent deposits of dried pesticide residues that can remain in the application equipment. Residues of ETI 122 01 H-D that remain in the sp ray equipment may injure desirable crops if the equipment is used to make applications to crops othe r than barley or wheat. Use the following steps to clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications of ETI 122 01 H-D:
- 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 arid circulate the solu tion 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 separa tely. 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 wheat or barley. Do not exceed the maximum la beled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal inst ructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility. † Other Etigra-approved cleaning solutions or differe nt 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: • 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 122 01 H- D.
• After completing the above cleanout procedure an d before using the sprayer equipment to make the next pesticide application, clean out the sprayer fo llowing the procedures on the pesticide product label that will be applied. • It is recommended that a dedicated sprayer be kept for ETI 122 01 H-D applications during the growing season. Dedicated equipment for ETI 122 01 H-D applications will help to minimize the potential for injury to ETI 122 01 H-D-sensitive crops if routine spraying practice s include equipment shared between applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and applications of other pesticides during the same spray season.
CROP ROTATION Do not treat all acres (wheat, barley, fallow) at the sa me time with ETI 122 01 H-D if. rotational crop plantback flexibility is desired.
FIELD BIOASSAY The following situations require a field bioassay before planting crops to areas previously treated with ETI 122 01 H-D (refer to the tables in the section Crop Rotation for additional information): 1. The crop is not listed. 2. The soil pH is outside the specified range. 3. The use rate applied is not listed in the Rotation Crop Interval table. 4. The fields treated with ETI 122 01 H-D have not received the specified minimum cumulative precipitation since application. Test the crop intended to be planted the year following a treatment with ETI 122 01 H-D by growing the crop in small plots which received the ETI 122 01 H-D treatment. The crop response will determine the feasibility of rotating this crop to large areas whic h had been treated with ETI 122 01 H-D. Additional information on the procedures for carrying out field bi oassays can be obtained from your local dealer or Etigra representative.
GRAZING RESTRICTIONS There are no grazing restrictions from applications of ETI 122 01 H-D.
AGRICULTURAL USES WHEAT AND BARLEY IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS Read the following restrictions and precautions to avoid injury to or loss of desirable trees or other desirable plants or vegetation.
x Before using ETI 122 01 H-D, consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity of barley and wheat varieties to various herbicides. If the sensitivity of the crop variety is unknown, test ETI 122 01 H-D on a small area of the crop variety. x To avoid injury and/or temporary discoloration, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D alone, in combination with surfactants, or with high rates of liquid ni trogen fertilizers to barley or wheat growing under conditions of stress (drought, extreme temperatur e changes, water-saturated soils, disease, or insect damage, low fertility). Injury to these crop s is possible if application is followed by severe winter stress including drought, disease, or insect damage. x To avoid injury to forages, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to barley or wheat which are undersown with legumes. x Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D preplant, preemergence, or postemergence at rates lower than 2/10 oz. per Acre. x To avoid possible crop injury to desirable trees or vegetation, 1) do not use this product on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas; 2) use caution to avoid spray drift or direct or indirect contact of sprays onto. desirable plants or areas adjacent to treated fields; 3) do not apply, drain or flush equipment rinses on or near desi rable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in areas where the produc t may be washed or moved into contact with desirable plant roots. x To minimize off-site movement of product on tr eated soils which can lead to damage of susceptible crops, do not apply if soils are powdery, 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 122 01 H-D may injure or kill crops other than barley and wheat. x Improved weed control in wheel track areas is achieved when ETI 122 01 H-D is tank mixed with 2,4- D or MCPA and applied by ground postemergence to weeds under dry, dusty field conditions. x If wheat has germinated and has emerged above the soil surface, do not make preemergence applications of ETI 122 01 H-D to wheat fields. x Do not make preemergence applications of ETI 122 01 H-D to wheat planted into dry soil ("dusted in") or on very coarse, uneven seedbeds. x To avoid the possibility of surface runoff, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to frozen ground or to snow- covered ground. x Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to irrigated land if the tailwater will be used to irrigate other crops. x Clean all spray equipment according to the directions in this label. Residues remaining in spray equipment may damage crops (other than wheat and barley). x Read and follow the rotation crop restrictions on labels of products such as GLEAN® FC, ALLY®, Amber®, Assert®, or other longer residual herbic ides with the same mode of action that have been used on land that may be treated with ETI 122 01 H-D. Follow the label that has the longest rotation crop plantback interval before choosing to rotate to crops other than wheat or barley.

The 5/10 oz. rate should be reserved for suppression of bromus species and annual ryegrass. See Footnote 1. See Footnote 2. MN, MT, ND, SD, WY: Do not apply more than 3/10 oz. per Acre. See Footnote 3. Postemergence Wheat and Barley 2/10 to 4/10 oz. Apply any time after the crop is in the 1-leaf stage, but before the boot stage. To avoid crop injury, do not apply ETI 122 01 H -D during the boot stage or early heading stage. See Footnote 1. To prevent injury to crops, do not use ETI 122 01 H -D within 60 days of crop emergence if organophosphate insecticides (such as disulfoton (Di- Syston®) etc.) have been used as an in- furrow treatment. Greater crop injury may result from a combination of stress from herbicide application and cold weather than from pesticide application or cold weather alone. Delay applications of ETI 122 01 H-D in areas such as the Pacific Northwest and Northern Plains if cold conditions exist or are unpredictable.

in the fall or spring, or in the spring to land which was fallow the previous year. Include a surfactant in the spray solution. Spray weeds that are less than 1" tall or before the 1 -2 leaf stage. For suppression, ½ to 1" rainfall is required after application to move ETI 122 01 H -D into the weed root zone before weed seed germination and to suppress foxtail before the 2-3 leaf stage. Inadequate suppression may occur without adequate rainfall if foxtail reaches the 2-3-leaf stage.
When applied in the fall, ETI 122 01 H-D will provide more consistent weed suppression in most areas because adequate rainfall occurs to activate ETI 122 01 H-D. When applied in the late spring, ETI 122 01 H-D may not give consistent weed suppression due to lack of adequate rainfall. Insufficient rainfall will not move ETI 122 01 H-D into the weed root zone, and weeds that germinate after treatment will not be controlled. However, too much rainfall may also result in poor suppression of

For suppression, ½ to 1" rainfall is required after application to move ETI 122 01 H-D into the weed root zone before weed seed germination and to suppress Persian Darnel before the weed passes the 2- 3 leaf stage. Inadequate suppression may occur without adequate rainfall if Persian Darnel reaches the 3-leaf stage. Footnote 1: Apply tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D and other products registered for preplant/preemergence (or postemergence) use on these crops (such as "Roundup"). Footnote 2: To prevent injury to crops, do not use ETI 122 01 H-D if organophosphate insecticides (such as disulfoton (Di-Syston®) etc.) have been or are intended to be used as an in-furrow treatment. Footnote 3: Delayed seedling emergence and/or crop stress may result from a preemergence application to late fall plantings under cold weather and/or dry conditions. Preemergence applications may also injure wheat seeded less than 1" deep. It is recommended that a postemergence application be made when the crop has emerged and shows good vigor.
FALLOW Use ETI 122 01 H-D as a fallow treatment at 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre, Apply in the spring or fall to actively growing weeds that have emerged. If applie d with other herbicides, ensure that the tank mix partners are registered for use in fallow. Read the section above on Tank Mixes before using with ETI 122 01 H-D. TANK MIXES WITH OTHER PRODUCTS Before making postemergence tank mix applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and other registered herbicides, or sequential applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and other registered herbicides, read the additional information on Tank Mixes above. Refer to the table below for specific directions for tank mixes with other products.
Tank-Mix· Partner and Use Rate Application Directions Timing and Restrictions ; Insecticides Only insecticides registered for use on wheat, barley and fallow 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 122 01 H-D and organophosphate insecticides (such as methyl or ethyl parathion, disulfoton, etc.) should be avoided. Temporary crop yellowing or crop injury may occur unless these tank mixes have been tested on a small plot. If signs of crop injury do not occur, larger areas may be treated.
Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D plus Malathion. Crop injury may occur from this tank mix.
When an organophosphate insecticide such as disulfoton (Di-Syston®) has been applied in- furrow, crop injury may occur if ETI 122 01 H-D is applied within 60 days of crop emergence. Pacific Northwest: Do not apply ETI 122 01 H- D plus Lorsban. Crop injury may occur from this tank mix. Fungicides Only fungicides registered for use on wheat, barley, and fallow (mancozeb such as Manzate® 200DF fungicide) may be used in these tank mixes. Apply at the normal time when herbicides and fungicide treatments overlap.
• Tank-Mix Partner and Use Rate Application Directions Timing and Restrictions Liquid Fertilizers Liquid fertilizers may replace water as the carrier in spray solutions. Check for physical compatibility before mixing ETI 122 01 H-D in liquid fertilizers. When tank mixing ETI 122 01 H-D, use the more compatible ester formulations of 2,4 -D or MCPA. Add a surfactant when using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizers (less than 50% of spray solution by volume). Crop injury may occur if a surfactant is used at higher rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizers. Local recommendations may provide additional information on when to add surfactants. Do not use ETI 122 01 H-D plus with liquid fertilizers that have a pH of 3.0 or less. The low pH can lead to degradation of ETI 122 01 H -D. Increased chances of crop injury may occur when surfactants are added to liquid fertilizer tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester. Test this tank mix on a small area of the crop and if no signs of injury are observed, larger areas may be treated. Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant. Herbicides such as:
Bromoxynil (such as BUCTRIL® 4EC - ¼ to 1 pt. per Acre, or BRONATE® - ½ to 2 pt per Acre, or CURTAIL - 1 to 2 pt. per Acre)
Dicamba (such as BANVEL® or Clarity - 1/8 to ¼ pt. per Acre, or BANVEL®. SGF - ¼ to ½ pt. per Acre)
Metribuzin (such as Sencor DF - 1.5 to 8 oz. Al per Acre) These tank mixes can be used to improve control of weeds not listed on this label. If Assert"" is used in the tank mix with ETI 122 01 H-D, always add a third broadleaf herbicide that has a different mode of action (such as MCPA ester or 2,4-D ester). Use a surfactant if recommended on the tank mix partner label. If crops receive heavy rainfall shortly after application, some temporary crop discoloration, stunting or injury may occur.
Some broadleaf weeds may not be completely controlled from tank mixes with Dicamba (such as Banvel, Banvel SGF and Clarity).
Optimum wild oat control may not be achieved with tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H- D with Hoelon 3EC. 2,4-D (Amine or Ester) OR MCPA (Amine or Ester)
¼ to ½ lb. Al per Acre Apply after weeds have emerged. The ester formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA provide best control. Use 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D. Add a surfactant if desired (½ to 1 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution) but the potential for crop injury increases. If a liquid fertilizer is added to the spray tank· mix, do not add a surfactant. For tank mixes with MCPA, apply after the 3- to 5- leaf stage but before boot. For tank mixes with 2,4-D, apply after tillering (consult the recommendations on the 2, -4-D label) but before boot.
To avoid severe crop injury and/or foliar burn, the use of liquid fertilizers in either of these tank mixes is not recommended when temperatures are below 32°F or if the crop is under stress from cold weather just before winter dormancy. Diuron (such as Karmex DF or Direx 80 DF) 1 to 1.5 lb per Acre (or Direx 4L, 0.8 to 1.2 qt. per Acre) This tank mix is useful to control problem weeds such as wild buckwheat, corn gromwell, green foxtail (pigeongrass) annual ryegrass and annual bluegrass. Use 3/10 to 4/10 ETI 122 01 H-D. Best results are obtained if rainfall (1/2 to 1 inch) occurs within 7 to 14 days after application. Carefully read and follow the label guidelines and restrictions for the use of diuron to ensure there are no conflicts with the ETI 122 01 H -D label.

ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC WEEDS
Annual Bluegrass/Annual Ryegrass Preemergence: 5/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply after planting but before winter wheat emerges OR apply after planting, before wheat emerges followed by an application of metribuzin at 2.25 to 4.5 oz. Al per Acre; apply metribuzin in the fall when the wheat is at the 4-5 leaf stage and annual grassy weeds are in the 1-3 leaf stage. Preemergence control in the Pacific Northwest: A tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D (3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre) plus Diuron DF (1.5 lb per Acre) improves control of these weeds. Ensure adequate rainfall (½ to 1") will occur after application to move ETI 122 01 H -D into the root zone of weeds before bluegrass or ryegrass emerges Postemergence: Use 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D as a tank mix with metribuzin at 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre. Apply after the wheat (4-5 leaf stage) and grass weeds (1-3 leaf stage) have emerged. Bedstraw 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. If applied postemergence, use ETI 122 01 H-D plus a surfactant (2 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution) and apply before bedstraw is over 2 inches long. Bromus species (cheat, downy brome, Japanese brome) These grasses are best suppressed from an application of ETI 122 01 H-D in a tank mix with metribuzin, or as an alternate, from sequential applications of these herbicides. Refer to the use directions for wheat, barley and fallow on the metribuzin label. For ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin to be most effective, sufficient rainfall (1/2 to 1") is required so that ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin move into the weed root zone before these weeds germinate and develop an established root system. These weed will not be suppressed if there is an insufficient amount of rainfall. Too much rainfall may result in crop injury. When the weather turns cold, there is a risk for crop injury and ineffective weed suppression. Apply metribuzin (such as "Sencor" DF) prior to winter dormancy of the crop and grassy weeds. Do not add any other pesticide to tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin and use the surfactants recommended on either the ETI 122 01 H-D or metribuzin labels. Some wheat and barley varieties are sensitive to metribuzin so refer to the metribuzin label for a list of these varieties. Preemergence and Sequential: 5/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply after planting winter wheat and prior to its emergence. Follow this application with a sequential application of 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre of metribuzin applied in the fall after the wheat has reached the 4 to 5-leaf stage of growth and the annual grassy we eds are in the 1 to 3-leaf stage of growth. Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: 4/10 to 5/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply after planting winter wheat and prior to its emergence. A sequential application of
metribuzin may be made to aid in suppression of these weeds. Apply 1.5 to 3 oz. Al per Acre metribuzin in the fall to wheat (2-leaf to 3 tiller stage) or 3.75 to 6 oz. Al per Acre. after winter wheat is actively growing with at least 4 tillers and 2 inches of secondary root systems. Postemergence: 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre metribuzin. Treat wheat (at the 4 to 5-leaf stage) and weeds (at the 1 to 3- leaf stage) that have emerged. Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 1.5 to 3 oz. Al per Acre metribuzin. Apply in the fall when wheat or barley are at the 2-leaf to 3- tiller stage. When these crops are actively growing with at least 4 tillers and at least 2 inches of secondary root system, apply ET I 122 01 H-D at 3/10 to 4/10 oz. and metribuzin at 3.75 to 6 oz. active per Acre. Best results will be obtained if application is made before the weeds reach the 2 to 3-leaf stage. Refer to the metribuzin label for additional information on treating these weeds. Canada thistle Time the application of ETI 122 01 H-D 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 long-term results. Include a surfactant with ETI 122 01 H-D spray solutions. Corn gromwell Postemergence: Applications work best from 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus bromoxynil (such as Buctril or Bronate). Spray small, actively growing weeds. Flixweed, Tansymustard Postemergence: Applications work best from ETI 122 01 H-D in tank mixes with 2,4-D or MCPA (amine or ester). Spray actively growing weeds. Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce These weeds are known to have naturally occurring resistant biotypes which can be best controlled from application of ETI 122 01 H-D in the spring when weeds are less than 2" tall or 2" across and are actively growing. A tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D plus dicamba (such as "Banvel"/Banvel SGF/'Clarity") and/or 2, 4-D should be applied with a surfactant (2 qt. surfactant per 100 gal. of spray solution). Prostrate knotweed Preemergence: 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply in the fall. Postemergence: Applications work best with 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus either 2, 4-D, MCPA, dicamba (such as "Banvel" /’Banvel SGF”/”Clarity") and/or bromoxynil (such as Buctril or Bronate). Include a surfactant in the tank mix. Spray emerged seedlings (no more than 4 true leaves) that are actively growing. Sunflower Postemergence: Wait until the majority of sunflowers have emerged but before they are more than 2 inches in height before making an ETI 122 01 H-D application. The surfactant rate should be 2 qt. per 100 gal. of water. Preemergence: Make an application of ETI 122 01 H-D in the early spring. Spring rainfall should move the ETI 122 01 H -D into the weed root zone which should prevent weed germination or weed root system development. NOTE: If applied in the fall in areas where rain fall is significant, the residual activity of ETI 122 01 H-D may not provide adequate control of this weed. ETI 122 01 H-D applied in the spring may not control deep-germinating sunflowers that emerge. Vetch Postemergence: Applications work best from 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 1/4 lb Al per Acre of 2,4-D or MCPA (amine or ester). Include a surfactant in the tank mix. Wild buckwheat Preemergence: 4/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D applied in the fall or early spring provides optimum results. Postemergence: 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2,4-D, MCPA, dicamba (such as BANVEL®/BANVEL® SGF or Clarity), and/or bromoxynil (such as BUCTRIL® or BRONATE®) provide optimum results . Spray emerged seedlings that are actively growing. Although 3/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D may control this weed, consult local Etigra recommendations on directions for treating this weed. Wild radish 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Optimum results are achieved if ET) 122 01 H-D is applied postemergence.
CROP ROTATION Do not treat all acres (wheat, barley, fallow) at the same time with ETI 122 01 H-D if rotational crop plantback flexibility is desired. Be fore using ETI 122 01 H-D, plan your application and rotation crop strategy. Follow the rotation crop intervals specified in the tables below. The tables below note
Cumulative Precipitation in inches, which is defined as the amount of rainfall received from the date of ETI 122 01 H-D 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. A field bioassay must be conducted in certain states under certain conditions.
Minimum Rotation Intervals Minimum recropping (or rotation crop) intervals for planti ng crops to fields previously treated with ETI 122 01 H-D are defined as the amount of time that must elapse from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting. These intervals have be en established based on how quickly ETI 122 01 H-D breaks down in the soil. Factors that influence the ra te of breakdown include soil pH, soil temperature, soil microbes, 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 122 01 H-D in soil. Conversely, so ils with high soil pH, low moisture and low soil temperatures tend to break down ETI 122 01 H-D more slowly. Due to the variations 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 122 01 H-D treated areas.
Soil pH Limitations If soils have a pH above 7.9, ETI 122 01 H-D should not be applied to these fields or residues of ETI 122 01 H-D 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 barley or wheat or other sensitive crops. To avoid crop injury or stress due to low soil pH levels and aluminum toxicity, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to soils that have a pH below 5.0.
Testing Soil pH: Do not apply 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 determinations. Additional information on soil sampling can be obtained from local extension publications.
Rotation Crop Intervals for Cereal Crops The minimum recropping intervals are based upon the soil pH, the rate of ETI 122 01 H-D applied and the location. The minimum-recropping 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.
