ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Terrestrial Use Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
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 groundwater. Tribenuron-methyl is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff 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 potential loading of tribenuron- methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory LUXXUR A Herbicide has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually
3
have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affect the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying LUXXUR A Herbicide if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in offsite movement.
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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
LUXXUR A HERBICIDE: x provides control of certain broad-leaved weeds in wheat (spr ing, winter and durum). Warm, moist, growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by environmental stress such as cold weather, drought stress or excessive heat may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and regrowth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. x Rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds through absorption of the foliage. However, typical symptoms (discoloration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing conditions. Activity of the herbicide mixture may be delayed by cold, dry conditions after application.
USE RESTRICTIONS Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: x Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend,o r in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. x Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, or mixing/loading station. x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE to wheat that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, 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. x Do not store pesticides near well sites. x Do not apply to wheat underseeded with another crop. x Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Do not harvest within 45 days of the last application. x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in-furrow treatment because crop injury may result. x Do not use LUXXUR A HERBICIDE plus Malathion because crop injury may result. x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE by air in the state of New York. x LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is not for us e in the state of California.
Grazing, Feeding, and Harvesting x Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage. x Allow at least 7 days between application and feeding of forage (green chop) from treated areas to livestock. x Allow at least 30 days between application and feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. x Allow at least 45 days between application and harvesting of grain. Harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or feed.
When using LUXXUR A HERBICIDE in tank mixes or sequential applications with other products containing tribenuronmethyl, do not exceed the following limits:
Active Ingredient: Tribenuron-methyl Use Maximum AI Oz/A per Single Application Maximum Oz/A of Product per Single Application Maximum AI Oz/A per Use Period* Maximum Oz/A of Product per Use Period* Maximum Number of Applications per Use Period* Pre- Harvest Interval, Days Wheat 0.25 0.50 0.25 0.50 2 45 (for grain)
- Use Period: One maximum application per year or two applications not to exceed the maximum rate per year, see above chart for specific crop restrictions.
USE PRECAUTIONS x Injury or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: x Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas x Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may damag e crops other than those listed on this label. x Varieties of wheat (including durum) may differ in their response to various herbicides. Consult your state experiment station,university, or extension agent as to crop sensitivity of any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to a small area. x Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after LUXXUR A HERBICIDE application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. x Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.

x Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from well sites. x Make scheduled checks of spray equipment. x Mix only enough product for the job at hand. x Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides. x Avoid overfilling of spray tank. x Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses. x When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications: x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641). x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641). x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters. x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications: x 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 application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground. x 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). x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
ADVISORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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 x 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. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x 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.
6
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 ft 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.
RUNOFF PREVENTION To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to LUXXUR A HERBICIDE 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. To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE 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. x 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 the less resistance-prone partner 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 unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. x 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 favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possibl e 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 species; (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. x 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. x 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. x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
