GENERAL INFORMATION BRONATE® is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing the equivalent of 2 Ibs. per gallon of octanoic acid ester of bromoxynil and 2 pounds per gallon of isooctyl ester of MCPA. BRONATE® is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting wheat, barley, oats and rye, conservative reserve program areas, and grass grown for seed or sod production. Optimum weed control is obtained when BRONATE® is applied to actively growing weed seedlings. BRONATE® is primarily a contact herbicide, therefore thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for optimum control. BRONATE® has little residual activity. Therefore subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial treatment. Generally crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain crops or short-straw varieties, for example Yaccora Rajo wheat, may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to shade the subsequent flushes of weeds. Occasional transitory leaf bum may occur. The temporary leaf bum is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer. Because the activity of BRONATE® is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting effect. Frequency and amount of leaf bum may be greater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to cold evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that caused by hail, sleet or insect feeding. To reduce the potential for temporary leaf bum, applications should be made to dry foliage in the recommended spray volumes per acre when weather conditions are not extreme. MIXING, LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS 2.5 Gallon Containers It is strongly recommended that special care be taken in mixing and loading this product. Hands should be placed on the container in such a way as to avoid possible drip or splash. Correct procedures for mixing and loading are provided in Bayer CropScience's Educational Program. 30 Gallon and Bulk Containers If you will handle a total of 60 gallons or more of this product per day, you must use a mechanical transfer system for a/l mixing and loading operations. If this product is packaged in a 30 gallon drum, you must use a mechanical transfer system which terminates in a drip-free hard coupling which may be used only with a spray or mix tank which has been fitted with a compatible coupling. If you do not presently own or have access to a mechanical transfer system with this type of coupling, contact your dealer for information on how to obtain such a system or to modify your present system. When using a mechanical transfer system, do not remove or disconnect the pump or probe from the container until the container has been emptied and rinsed. The pump or probe system must be used to rinse 4
the empty container and to transfer the rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank. BRONATE® ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the recommended amount of BRONATE®. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application. TANK MIXTURES: BRONAT~ may be tank-mixed with other pesticide products provided that these other products are registered for use on the crop/use site to be treated. The tank mix must be used in accordance with the more restrictive pesticide label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Bronate cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. BRONATE® can be applied in tank mixture with many other herbicides and insecticides registered for use on approved crops. Refer to the specific crop section for rate and other restrictions. To apply BRONATE® in mixture with another product, fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and begin agitation. If tank mixing with wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable or dry flowable products, add the powder or flowable product first. After the other herbicide is thoroughly mixed with water add the recommended amount of BRONATE® and add water to the spray tank to the desired level. If tank mixing with other product types, add the BRONATE® first before adding the other product. Always mix one product in water thoroughly before adding another product or compatibility problems may occur. Never mix two products together without first mixing in water. Maintain sufficient agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. If spray mixture is allowed to remain without agitation for short periods of time, be sure to agitate until uniformly mixed before application. If tank mixing with products other than those listed within each crop section, a compatibility test is recommended to ensure satisfactory spray preparation. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 quart) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5 to 15 minutes after mixing. To ensure maximum crop safety and weed control, follow all cautions and limitations on this label and the labels of products used in the tank mixture with BRONATE® . SPRAYABLE LIQUID FERTILIZERS AND SPRAY ADDITIVES BRONATE® can be applied in combination with sprayable liquid fertilizer or spray additives such as surfactants or crop oil concentrate. When tank mixing with liquid fertilizer always add the fertilizer to the spray tank first and agitate thoroughly before adding BRONATE®. Always predetermine the compatibility with liquid fertilizer by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Agitation must be maintained during filling and application operations to ensure that BRONATE® is evenly mixed with the fertilizer. Leaf bum may occur when BRONATE® is applied with liquid fertilizer, but new leaves are not adversely affected. CAUTION: Fertilizers and spray additives can increase foliage leaf bum when applied with BRONATE®. Do not apply fertilizers or spray additives with BRONATE® if leaf burn is a major concern due to environmental conditions, crop or variety sensitivity to BRONAT~. APPLICATION PROCEDURES BRONATE® can be applied to registered use areas by ground, aerial and sprinkler irrigation equipment. GROUND APPLICATION Use a standard herbicide boom sprayer that provides uniform and accurate application. Sprayer should be equipped with screens no finer than 50 mesh in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage. For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage use of flat fan nozzles (maximum tip size 8008) with a spray pressure of 40-60 psi are recommended. Other nozzle types and lower spray pressures that produce coarse spray droplets may not provide adequate coverage of the weeds to ensure optimum control. Raindrop® nozzles and flood nozzles are not recommended as weed control with BRONATE® may be reduced. In general, a spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray coverage. A minimum of 5 GPA with a minimum spray pressure of 50 psi and a maximum ground speed of 10 mph may be used with higher speed, low volume ground application if ground terrain, crop and weed density allow effective spray distribution. When using higher speed equipment, a maximum ground speed of 10 mph is suggested if field conditions cause excessive boom movement during application which results in poor spray coverage. Ground applications made when dry, dusty field conditions exist may provide reduced weed control in wheel track areas. Applications using less than 10 gallons per acre may result in reduced weed control. When weed infestations are heavy, use of higher spray volumes and spray pressure will be helpful in obtaining uniform weed coverage. When com or grain sorghum are large enough to interfere with the spray pattern, drop nozzles shOUld be used to obtain uniform weed coverage. If you are unsure of the infestation level or size of crop, consult your local extension service. Do not apply when winds are gusty or when other conditions favor poor spray coverage and/or off target spray movement. Do not apply with nozzle height greater than 4 feet above crop canopy. AERIAL APPLICATION Use orifice discs, cores and nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage. In general a minimum spray volume of 5 GPA and a maximum pressure of 40 psi are recommended. A minimum spray volume of 3 gallons per acre may be used if crop canopy and weed density allow adequate spray coverage. Aerial applications using less than 5 gallons of spray volume per acre may result in reduced weed control. Do not apply during inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or when other conditions favor poor spray coverage and/or off target spray movement. Off target spray movement can be minimized by increasing the spray volume per acre and not applying when winds exceed 10 mph. 5 (10
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
BRONATE® Herbicide can be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems to wheat, barley, oats, rye and grasses grown for seed or sod
production.
Apply BRONATE® Herbicide through sprinkler systems including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid set or hand move
irrigation systems only. If hand moved piPe iS,used for chemigation, the pipe must not be handled in ,any way until 24 hours after
chemigation has been completed and .,residues have.:been flushed from·the system. , When applying bYichemigation, no person may
enter the application site unless in an enclosed vehicle. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH AUTOMATED, SPRINKL::ER IRRIGATION SYSTEM
1.' The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the
irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
2. . The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back
toward the injection pump. '
3. The pesticide injection pipeline mst also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side
'of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
" irrigation:system is either automatically or manually shut down.
4. ,The system must contain functionaliriterlocking cOntrols to automatically shut off the, pesticide injection pump when the water
"pump motor stops.
5." The irrigation'line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6: Systems'mustuse a metering pump; such asa positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed
and constructed of materials that,are·compatible with pestiCides and· capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
8. Agitation is recommended in the' pesticide supply tank when applying the BRONATE® Herbicide.
9. BRONATE® Hei"bicide should be appliedcOritiniJously for the duration6f the water application with center pivot and continuous
lateral move systems. Application;'of BRONATE® Herbicide should be made during the last 30-45 minutes of the irrigation set
with other overhead sprinkler systems.
10. For best performance, set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre.
11, Remove scale. pesticide residues and other foreign matter from the supply tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean
water.
12. If BRONATE® Herbicide is dilutedintne supply tank, fill the tank with half of the water amoilnt desired. add the BRONATE® and
then add remaining water amount with agitation. Always dilute with at least 4 parts water to 1 part BRONAT.
13: Start the sprinklers and then injectBRONAT~ Herbicide into the irrigation line. BRONATE® should be injected with a positive
.' displacement 'pump into the main' line at least ,8 feet ahead of, a right angle turn to insl:lre adequate mixing. Refer to the
BRONATE® Herbicide label for detailed information on application rates and timings.
CHEMIGATION USER PRECAUTIONS
Application of more than 0.5 inch/acre of-irrigation water may result in decreased product performance on certain soils,
Do not apply when 'cOnditions favor drift, wtlen systehl connections or fittings leak. or when nozzles"'do not provide uniform distribution.
'Allow sufficierit"time for pesticide to beflusheCl through all the lines and nozzles before turnihg off irrigation water.
Crop injury. lack of effectiveness. or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
bo not connect ~n irrigation system u'sed. for,pesticide application to a public water system.
If. you have questions about calibratio.n. you should contact State Extension Service specialists. equipment manufacturers or other
experts.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system ~nd responsible for its operations. or under the supervision of the responsible
person. shali shut the system down and make· necessary adjustments should the need arise.

SPRAY DRIFT SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulation.
- The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- ~ozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions below). CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label reqUirements) • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increaSing pressure. • Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles s6 that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets . and the lowest drift. BOOM LENGTH: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without redUCing swath width. APPLICATION HEIGHT: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. SWATH ADJUSTMENT: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.) WIND: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label reqUirements) When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements) Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. 7
