General Information Apply Lightning~ D herbicide only on selected field corn hybrids (CLEARFIELD~ corn) warranted by the seed company to possess resistance/tolerance to direct applica­ tion of certain imidazolinone herbicides. DO NOT apply Lightning D to corn hybrids that lack resistance/tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides. Contact your seed supplier, chemical dealer or BASF to obtain information regarding CLEARFIELD corn hybrids. When applied as directed at the broadcast rate of 5.6 ounces per acre, Lightning D will control or reduce competition from the weeds listed in Table 1. NOTE: R = Reduced Competition The number under Maximum Leaf Stage indicates the MAXIMUM number of leaves at which weeds should be sprayed postemergence.

Mode of Action Lightning® 0 herbicide kills weeds by root and/or foliar uptake and rapid translocation to the growing points. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum Lightning 0 activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, Lightning 0 will provide residual control of suscep­ tible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil. Herbicide Resistance Naturally occurring biotypes* of some of the weeds listed on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other products with the ALS/AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode of action. Other herbicide with the ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of action include the the sulfony­ lureas (e.g. Accen~, Classi c4i>, Permi~, Steadfas~, Spir[t4l>, etc.) the sulfonamides (e.g. Python4i>, etc.), the pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g. Staple4i>, etc.), and the imidazoli­ nones (e.g. Pursui~, Scepter4l>, Raptor4l>, etc.). Herbicides with the growth regulating mode of action include the benzoic acid herbicides (e.g. Banvel4i>, Clarity4l>, Oistinc~, etc.), the phenoxyacid herbicides (e.g. 2,4-0, 2,4-DB, etc.) and the pyridine herbicides (e.g. Stingerz'). If naturally occurring biotypes are present in a field which are resistant to one of the herbicides in this premix and are not con­ trolled by the other mode of action herbicide in this premix, Lightning D should be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of action to ensure control. *A weed biotype is a naturally occurring individual within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinct genetic makeup from other plants. Lightning 0 is active against many broadleaf and grass weed species. For long term weed management, Lightning 0 contains three her­ bicides with two different modes of action to reduce the potential for selecting tolerant weeds (resistant weeds). Crop Tolerance Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions can exhibit various injury symptoms which may be more pronounced if herbicides are used. Corn plants treated with Lightning 0 may exhibit yellowing on new growth. Such effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal growth and appearance should resume within 1 to 2 weeks. Use of Lightning 0 in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agro­ nomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks asso­ ciated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Under some conditions (such as heavy texture soil, high organic matter, low pH or low rainfall), Lightning 0 may cause injury to subsequent planted crops. See the ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDE­ LINE section of this label for recommended rotation inter­ vals to sensitive crops. () Soil Insecticide Information All soil insecticides, including labeled banded or infurrow applications, may be used in combination with Pionee~ i~idazolinone-resistant (IR) corn hybrids and Lightning O. BASF recommends that terbufos and phorate in banded applications may be used in combination with Lightning 0 on imidazolinone-tolerant (11) corn hybrids. DO NOT use ter­ bufos when Lightning 0 will be applied to imidazolinone­ tolerant corn hybrids. BASF has not tested all hybrids in which the imidazolinone-tolerance trait is claimed and cannot be responsible for factors which are beyond its control, such as growing conditions, environmental condi­ tions, grower practices and the specific genetics of each hybrid tolerance to herbicide and insecticide applications. Cultivation For maximum weed control, cultivate 7-10 days following Lightning 0 application. This timely cultivation will enhance residual weed control, especially under dry conditions. Cleaning Spray Equipment To avoid injury to sensitive crops, drain and clean applica­ tion equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufac­ turer's directions and then triple rinse the equipment before and after applying Lightning O. Application Instructions Lightning 0 is effective in controlling annual weeds in con­ servation tillage as well as in conventional production systems. Apply Lightning 0 as a postemergence treat­ ment to CLEARFIEL04i> corn when crop and weeds are actively growing. For optimal weed control apply Lightning 0 before weeds exceed labeled height.

'j Ground Application Methods and Equipment Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure of 20 to 40 psi is recommended. DO NOT apply when wind velocity is greater than 10 mph. (See SENSITIVE CROP PRECAUTIONS section for application guidelines near sensitive crops.) To ensure thorough coverage, a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre is recommended when applying Lightning lll 0 herbicide to minimum till or no-till CLEARFIELOGD'corn. Use higher gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues. Flat-fan nozzle tips are recommended for postemergence applications. Avoid overlaps when spraying. Ground Boom Spray Drift Requirements • Applicators are required to use a nozzle height below 4 feet above the ground or plant canopy and coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572) or, if specifically using a spinning atomizer nozzle, applicators are required to use a volume mean diameter (VMO) of 385 microns or greater. • Applications with wind speeds greater than 10 mph are prohibited. • Applications into temperature inversions are prohibited. Aerial Application Methods and,Equipment Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. Addition of a nonionic surfactant AND fertilizer solution are required for optimum weed control. Apply a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons ofspray solution OR a crop oil concentrate at the rate of 1 .25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution, AND a liquid fertilizer at the rate of 1 .25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution (see direc­ tions under MIXING INSTRUCTIONS.) To avoid injury to sensitive crops from drift, aerial applica­ tors must adhere to the following SPECIAL AERIAL USE DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS. Aerial Spray Drift Requirements • Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572) or, if specifically using a spin­ ning atomizer nozzle, applicators are required to use a volume mean diameter (VMO) of 385 microns or greater for release heights below 10 feet. Applicators are required to use a very coarse or coarser'droplet size or, if specifically using a spinning atomizer nozzle, applicators are required to use a,VMO of 475 microns or greater for release heights above 10 feet. Applicators must consider the effects of nozzle orientation and flight speed when determining droplet size. • Nozzles must be pointed toward the rear of the aircraft. The downward angle of the nozzle should not be greater than 20 degrees. • Nozzle height above ground must be a maximum of 10 feet. • To minimize wing-tip vortex roll, nozzles or spray boom must not be located any closer to end of wing or rotor 6 than three-fourths the distance from the center of the aircraft. • The boom length must not exceed 90% of the rotor blade diameter to reduce spray drift. • Use a maximum spray pressure of 40 psi. • A buffer zone must be established between the area to be sprayed and sensitive crops. • Applicators are required to use upwind swath displacement. • Applications with wind speeds less than 3 mph and with wind speeds greater than 10 mph are prohibited. • DO NOT spray when wind velocity is greater than 5 mph. Coarse sprays (larger droplets) are less likely to drift. • Applications into temperature inversions are prohibited. Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage that results from spraying Lightning 0 in a manner other than recommended in this label. In addition, applicator must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordi­ nances in regard to spraying. DO NOT use aerial equip­ ment to apply Lightning 0 when sensitive crops and plants are growing in the vicinity of area to be treated. SENSITIVE CROP PRECAUTIONS Lightning 0 may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other broadleaf plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage. These plants are most sensitive to Lightning 0 during their devel­ opment or growing stage. FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW WHEN USING Lightning 0: • DO NOT treat areas where either possible downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of Lightning 0 with roots of desirable plants such as trees and shrubs. • Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing. DO NOT spray near sensitive plants if wind is gusty or in excess of 1 0 mph and m(vjr;}O '!r, the direction of nearby sensitive crops.

Select nozzles that are designed to produce giirlifiiel amounts of fine spray particles (less than 200 rlilcrons). Examples of nozzles designed to produce C03rSE:>sprays 00 0 via ground application equipment are Delavan GD Raindrop, Spraying SystemsXR (excluding 110 0 tips) flat fans, Turbo Teejet lll, Turbo Floodjetlll, or large capacity flood nozzles such as D1 0, TK10, or greater capacity tips. Keep the spray pressure at or below 20 psi and the spray volume at or above 20 gallons per acre, unless otherwise required by the manufacturer of drift-reducing nozzles. Consult your

spray nozzle supplier concerning the choice of drift­ reducing nozzles. • Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may be used. • To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply Lightninglll D herbicide should be thoroughly cleaned (see CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT) before reusing to apply any other chemicals. . Additives Ground, postemergence applications of Lightning 0 require the addition of an ADJUVANT AND a NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE. ADJUVANTS Surfactants - cleared for application to growing crops. Use a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient. Apply the surfactant at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons. An organo-silicone surfactant may be used in place of a non ionic surfactant. OR Crop Oil Concentrate. The use of a petroleum-based or vegetable seed-based oil concentrate or methylated seed oil with Lightning D is permitted and may be beneficial under the following conditions: 1 . Hot arid environmental conditions exist, when weeds may be under stress and less susceptible to herbicide applications. However, when periods of cold and wet weather OR hot i and humid weather exist, the use of a non ionic surfactant instead of crop oil concentrate is recommended. Apply crop oil concentrates at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray solution (1 % voL/voL). AND NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE Recommended nitrogen based fertilizers include liquid fer­ tilizers (such as 28%N, 32%N or 10-34-0) at the rate of 1-2 quarts per acre. Use the higher rate when weeds are under moisture or temperature stress. Instead of a liquid fertilizer, spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at the rate of 2.5 pounds per acre. Alternatively, the use of proprietary products that contain both a nonionic surfactant and a nitrogen source that provide equivalent spray additive activity to those additives mentioned above, may be used with Lightning D. Other premixes containing a surfactant and a nitrogen source may be used as long as performance and rate guidelines for surfactant and nitrogen amounts are met. Mixing Order DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as a carrier (use water only) for postemergence applications of Lightning D. WATER

General Tank Mixing Information When Lightning D is used in combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, spray addi­ tives, methods of application, proper timing, weeds con­ trolled, restrictions and precautions. ftJways use in accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions and precautions. Lightning D cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibiting such mixtures. No labeled dosages should be exceeded. a) _______________________________ .'O-O-0-vJ----- General Restrictions and Limitatios --.-- .) ,) ") .) t) () 'J;) !'J • Only one application of Lightnh3g rj n}ay be ma:.ie during the growing season. .)

If Lighl:t'lir;g'D was tank mixed with other herbicides, the label restrictions for these herbicides must also be followed. • DO NOT apply Lightning D within 45 days of corn harvest (silage, fodder, or grain). • DO NOT graze or feed treated corn forage, silage, fodder, or grain for at least 45 days after an application of Lightning D.

• More restrictive crop growth stage limitations of tank mix partners must be followed. ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDELINE Use of Lightning® 0 herbicide in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rota­ tional crops in most situations; however, various environ­ mental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. The following rotational crops may be planted after applying Lightning 0 at the recommended rate in corn. Planting earlier than the recommended interval may result in crop injury. Time after Lightning 0 Application Anytime Four months Eight and one-half months Nine months Nine and one-half months Eighteen months Twenty-six months Forty months** Crop(s) to be Grown CLEARFIELD® corn hybrids Rye, Wheat Field Corn, Field corn grown for seed' Soybeans Alfalfa, Barley*, Edible beans and peas, Peanuts, Tobacco Cotton, Lettuce, Oats, Popcom, Safflower, Sorghum, Sunflowers, and Sweet corn Potatoes All crops not listed elsewhere in ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDELINE *Rotational interval for barley is 18 months in the following states: 10, MT, OR (county of Malheur), and WY (counties of Bighorn, Cambell, Crook, Fremont, Hot Springs, Johnson, Park, Sheridan. Teton, Washakie, Weston) **Following forty months after a LightningD application, and before any crop not listed in the ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDELINE, 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 rotational crop may be planted the following year. Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used for feed or food. BASF recommends that products containing imazethapyr (Pursui~, Pursui~ Plus EC) should NOT be applied to CLEARFIELD corn the same year as Lightning 0 or injury to follow crops may occur. If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to planting rotational crops not listed in the ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDELINE, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop. EXCEPTIONS TO ROTATIONAL CROPS GUIDELINE • If corn is furrow irrigated, till the soil prior to planting winter wheat or barley. The beds should be broken up and the soil mixed with tillage equipment set to cut 4- 6 inches deep. 8 ('J • 1Corn inbred lines: Corn inbred seed lines may be planted the year following an application of Lightning 0, Due to the proprietary nature of seed production, BASF has not been given access to the inbred data. Growers are directed to contact the seed company for informa­ tion and recommendations regarding the planting of corn grown. for seed in fields treated with Lightning 0 the previous year. Because growing conditions, environ­ mental conditions, and grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, ALL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES . ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTING SEED CORN INBREDS INTO FIELDS TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH Lightning 0 SHALL BE ASSUMED BY THE USER. Crop-specific Information CLEARFIELD Corn Lightning D can be applied postemergence (including spike stage) on CLEARFIELD corn hybrids. Sequential Herbicide Combinations with Lightning D Lightning D controls many grass and broadleaf weed species. However, Lightning D is best utilized in mUltiple­ pass weed control programs when Lightning 0 is applied sequentially after a soil surface-applied herbicide (i.e. preplant, preplant incorporated or preemergence) or after an early postemergence-applied herbicide.
