... (!.: -5- CONtRCL OF LARGER ANNUAL GRASSES In soybeans, always use crop oil concentrate when controlling annual grasses that have grown beyond the recommended stages of growth. When grasses are large, the control may take somewhat longer. Yield reductions due to weed competition may result from these late applications. The addition of nanphytotoxic oil concentrate to the spray solution at one ~~) quart per acre for ground applications and one (1) pint per acre for aerial applications may improve the herbicidal activity of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. Oil should be added when the qrassy weeds are under drought stress or when a less than pptimum application timing is necessary (see Tillling of Application Section). Always use an 80\ paraffin base petroleum oil with the remaining 20\ composed of tolerance exempt surfactants and inert ingredients. The increased speed of foliage burn resulting from the addition of crop oil concentrate may reduce the translocation of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide to the Johnsongrass roots and rhizomes. Therefore, the addition of nonphytotoxic oil is not recommended for the control of rhizome Jchnsongrass. Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with Basagran Herbicide, Blazer or Tackle 2AS in a postemergence program for broad spectrum weed control in soybeans. Tank mix applications are to be used only when both the annual grass and broadleaf weeds are in the proper stage of growth as specified on each respective herbicide label. When tank mixing, always follow the use directions in accordance with the respective label. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. •• 0 0 0 0 •••••• 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 • 0 0 • 0 0 ....... • ••••• • 0 0 • 0 .. 0 0 •••••• ••••• 0 0 0 0 0 0 ••••• .. 0 • 0 • •• • .. • • • •

Use standard high pressure hollow cone or flat-fan nozzles. 00 not use flood nozzles. Aerial BquiPD8Dt: For tank mixes, use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre of total spray solution and a minimum pressure of 40 PSI. Jdz'nq: Fill the spray tank half full with water while the agitator is running. Add the recOlllllended amount of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide followed-by the tank mix component. Then add the remaining amount-of water. Be •• qnnR Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. The choice of rates of each product and additivies is dependent on the weed size and weed spectrum present. Refer to the Basagran label to identify the proper rate and additives for control of the species and size of the broadleaf weeds present. The Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide rtes for tank mixing with Basagran are 1.6 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 4 inches tall, and 2.2 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 4 to 8 inches taIlor less than 2 tillers. DO NOT use this tank mix if the annual grassy weeds have developed more than 2 tilles or are larger than 8 inches tall. For the control of shattercane 8 to 12 inches tall and broadleaf weeds that are on the Basagran label, tank mix Whip 0.75EC Herbicide at a rate of 1.6 pints per acre with Basagran at 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. DO NOT use this tank mix to control rhizome Johnsongrass. Sequential applica­ tions of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide and Basagran may be necessary if the stages of the grass and broadleaf weeds are not within tank mix label recommendations at the same time. For Use On soybeans Only: When tank mixing Whip 0.75EC Herbicide and Basagran, always add crop oil concentrate or other labeled additives at the appropriate labeled rate. Special Note: When tank mixing Basagran and Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, a minimum rate of Whip at 1.6 pints per acre is recommended. Blazer R or Tackle 2AS Whip 0.75EC Herbicide should be tank mixed at a rate of per acre. Blazer or Tackle 2AS should be tank mix.: 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre.

The tank mix of Whip O.75EC Herbicide plus Blazer or Tackle 2AS should not be applied after the annual qrasses have begun tillerinq. Whenever the grass and broadleaf weeds are not both in the proper staqe of qrawth accordinq to this tank mix label, a sequential application should be utilized. When Whip 0.75EC Herbicide is applied first, a waiting period of J days is necessary before applyinq Blazer or Tackle 2AS. When Blazer or Tackle 2AS is app~ied first, a waitinq period of 7 days is necessary before-applying Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. Special Note: The mixture of Whip O.75EC Herbicide plus Blazer or Tackle 2AS may only suppress velvetleaf. ,

1. Annual ryeqrass (Lolium sp.), quackqrass (Agropyron repens) and Bermudaqrass (cynodon dactylon) are not controlled by Whip 0.75EC Herbicide.
2. Rainfall within one hour of an application may cause a reduction in qrass control.
3. If a new flush of qrass occurs, either a timely cultivation or a second application of Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be necessary.
4. DO NOT cultivate within four days before or after a Whip 0.75EC Herbicide application.
5. As a qeneral manaqement practice, clean sprayer thorouqhly before and after any pesticide application.

The most restrictive labeling applies in tank mixes. Rice is tolerant to postemergence applications of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide from the 4-leaf to the late tillering stage of rice development. Always plant high quality seed in order to obtain a uniform germination and a good rice stand. Postemergence applications may result in temporary rice injury that appears as leaf chlorosis and stunting. The rice will normally recover from these symptoms in two to four weeks. Use instructions, particularly water management, must be followed to minimize rice injury. Read and follow all label direct:ons carefully. Rice fields should be level and free of large clods to obtain uniform germination of rice and grassy weeds and to insure uniform flood levels. If necessary, fields may be flushed prior to treatment. If fields are flushed prior to treatment, flush in sufficient time so that the rice and grass are actively growing at time of treatment.

..... -9- C._ ::" . A. Air Application: Apply aerially using a mnum of ten (10) gallons of water per broadcast acre. It is recommended to increase the gallonage to o~tain thorough coverage when a dense weed canopy is present. Uniform spray coverage is essential when using aircraft, and is achieved by the use of a spray droplet size ranging from 150 to 300 microns. A hydraulic boom-nozzle system that will apply 10 gallons of water per acre with a minimum pressure of 20 pounds per square inch is recommended. Best results are obtained with D-8 nozzles. DO NOT USE raindrop nozzles. Aerial applications with this product should be made at a height which-provides the most effective swath width for the aircraft, bUt no lower than 10 feet from the rice crop. DO lIO'r APPLY by aircraft wilen wiDd speeds ezceeli eight (8' mph. Avoid all. direct or iDdirect contact to neigbbori.DcJ fields. Special lfOtes:

1. Thoroughly clean mixing vat and airplane by rinsing with clean water before Whip 0.75EC Herbicide is added.
2. It is important to calibrate the spray equipment with Whip 0.75EC Herbicide in the spray solution. The spray swath width and total volume per acre may vary when compared to other rice herbicides.
3. A flow meter is recommended to obtain proper water volume (gpa). B. GrOUDd Application: Apply in a minimum of ten (10) gallons of water per broadcast acre. Flat fan or hollow cone nozzles are recommended. Use a minimum pressure of 40 PSI. Under dense weed/crop canopies, high spray pressure and increased gallonage is very important in obtaining thorough coverage. While broadleaf crops, such as cotton and soybeans, are very tolerant to Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, grassy crops, such as corn and sorghum, are extremely sensitive and drift onto these grassy crops must be avoided.

When tank mixing, always follow the use directions in accordance with the respective label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded. Whip O.75EC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. Refer to . the Basagran label to identify the proper rate for control of the weed species and size of the weeds present. The Whip O.75EC Herbicide rates for tank mixes with Basagran are 1.6 pints per acre, when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 3 leaf ( 1 6 4 inches) and 2 . 2 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 4 leaf to 1 tiller ( 4 - 8 inches). Do not tank mix Whip O.75EC Herbicide and Basagran when the annual grassy weeds have developed more than 1 tillers or if the weeds are under drought stress. Sequential applications may be necessary if the growth stage of the grasses and broadleaf weeds are not within the tank mix label recOlllDendations at the same time. In preflood applications, a new flush of broadleaf weeds may occur under certain environmental conditions before the field receives permanent flood 7 days later; therefore, appropriate control measures may be required. Fill the spray tank half full with water while the agitator is running. Add the recommended amount of Whip O. 75EC Herbicide followed by Basagran. Then add the remaining amount of water. SBQUElU'1AL TREA'l'MEHTS: Applications of other herbicides may be made sequentially to Whip O.75EC Herbicide.
