GENERAL INFORMATION For broad-spectrum control of gnass and broad leaf weeds in soybeans, SQUADRON DG may be applied as a preplant incorporated or preemergence treatment. After SQuADRON DG is applied, some susceptible weeds emerge, growth stops, and then the weeds either die or are not competitive with the crop. • • • • • • A timely cultivation may aid in the control of certain weeds or improve general weed ::'lnt!ol when adequate moisture is nol received after application. Cultivation should be shallow. .', • • , . -5- 1/95 , .. I" , . ... '" • •• .. .

" " " ( PROPOSED SQUADRON DG HERBICIDE LABEL SQUADRON DG reaches the growing points of susceptible weeds e: _Ier by direct contact in the soil, or by rool uptake and rapid translocation to the growing points, Therefore, adequate soil moisture is important for optimum SQUADRON DG activity. The amount of rainfall or irrigation required following application depends on exisling soil moisture, soil texture and organic matter content. Sufficient water to moisten the soil to a depth of 2 inches is normally adequate. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 days after treatment, then a cultivation or postemergence herbicide application may be needed to improve weed control. When adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, SQUADRON DG will provide residual control of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil. A SQUADRON 00 soil tr,tment followed by a SCEPTER® O.T.® or Classic4 postemergence treatment will control certain problem weeds. Use sequential treatments in recommended states only. Occasionally, internode shortening of soybean plants may be observed with SQUADRON DG applications. This has no effect on soybean yields. Fol'owing the use of this product and chemically related products with the same mode of action, naturally occurring biotypes' of some of the weeds listed on this label cannot be effectively controlled by this and related products. This product should be tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of action to ensure control of resistant biotypes . • A weed biotype is a naturally occurring individual within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinct genetic makeup from other individuals. See your Cyanamid representative for addition information. PRECAVTlONS: DO NOT apply SQUADRON DG postemergence to soybeans as crop injury may occur. DO NOT APPLY SQUADRON DG OR ITS TANK MIXTURES PREEMERGENCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA. DO NOT use SQUADRON DG other than in accordance with the insuuctions set forth on this label. DO NOT use SQUADRON 00 in any tank mixes other than those specifically provided in this label. 00 NOT use on crops other than soybeans. Crops other Inan soybeans, such as cotton, com, gram sorghum, rice and vegetables, may be injured by spray drift or other indirect contact with SQUADRON 00. To avoid injury to sensitive crops from spray drift, follow all use directions and precautions in SPRA YING INSTRUCTIONS on pages 16 and 17. To 3vcid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for SQUADRON DG applications: "'4~' be drained and thoroughly cleaned with water before being used to apply other produ~~ 10 fllese crops. , Apply SQUADRON DG prior to July I in Use Region 3, as defined in the USE ARli' ~ .~~nion 01 t1iir label. There should be an interval of90 days between the SQUADRON DG application a;,J:3v;bean har'~st. DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay, or slTaw to livestock. • .. . -6- 1195

' ( PROPOSED SQUADRON DG HERBICIDE LABEL Use of SQUADRON DG herbicide in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with use of this product and, therefore, rotational ~rop injury is always possible. See pages 18 to 20 for ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS. Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with SQUADRON DG, the field may be replanted to soybeans, Rework the soil no deeper than the treated zone.

Sparge bar or jet spray agitation systems are recommended for SQUADRON DG applications. Prior to mixing SQUADRON DG or SQUADRON DG tank mixtures in liquid fertilizer, refer to appropriate label sections for each product regarding instructions for use in liquid fertilizer. ALWAYS PRE-SLURRY SQUADRON DG IN CLEAN WATER PRIOR TO ADDING TO LIQUID FERTILIZER SOLUTIONS. 2. SQUADRON DG Alone: When using SQUADRON DG alone, add SQUADRON DG to the panially-filled tank while agitating and then fill the remainder of the tank with water or liquid fertilizer. 3. SQUADRON DG Tank Mixtures: Add SQUADRON DG to the panially filled tank while agitating. When SQUADRON DG is completely mixed, add the tank mixture ingredients, if used, in the order listed below: (a) Lexone or Sencor (b) Command 4EC (c) PROWL 3.3EC (d) Roundup, Gramoxone Extra, 2,4-D or 2,4-DB (e) If used, add a non-ionic surfactant as the last ingredient in the tank. (I) Fill the remainder of the tank with water or liquid fertilizers. 4. MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS AGITATION WHILE 'ADDING HERBICIDES AND UNTIL SPRAYING IS COMPLETED. If the spray mixture is allowed to senle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. DO NOT apply SQUADRON DG on dry bulk fertilizer. APPLICA TIONS WITH LIQUID FERTILIZERS ) SQUADRON DG can be applied with liquid fertilizers, alone .:>r in combination with approved tank mixtures. Always pre-slurry SQUADRON DG in clean water prior to adding to liquid fertilizer solutions. Always test the compatibility of the SQUADRON DG slurry with the liquid fertilizer before mixing in the spray tank. Follow all SQUADRON DG label recommendations regarding incorporation, timing of application, special instructions and precautions.
