Following forty months after a Pursuit Plus EC application, and before planting any crop not 
listed elsewhere in the Rotational Crop Guidelines, a successful field bioassay must be 
completed. The field bioassay consists of a test strip of the intended rotational crop planted 
across the previously treated field and grown to maturity. The test strip should include low areas 
and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no crop injury is evident in the 
test strip, the intended rotational crop may be planted the following year. 
If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to planting rotational crops not listed in the Rotational Crop 
Guidelines, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop. 
In the event of a crop loss, the bean or pea crop may be replanted. 
DO NOT graze or feed treated forage, hay or straw to livestock.

soil residues and have reported good crop safety. However, due to the proprietary nature of ."
