GENERAL INFORMATION t L Equip Corn Herbicide is a combination of two sulfonylurea herbicides. Equip Corn Herbicide is intended for application at, ajfoliar spray in corn for the control of annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds. Weed growth ceases wiirjiri 'hours after Equip Corn Herbicide is applied. Symptoms progress from yellowing to necrosis resulting in eventual plant death within 1 --3 weeks after application. Sulfonylurea herbicides have been associated with temporary yellowing or stunting. Corn quickly outgrows these effects ginci ^develops normally. Equip Corn Herbicide contains a safener which enhances the ability of corn to recover from any initial herbicide effects. Equip Corn Herbicide is for use on field corn and is NOT to be used on sweet corn or popcorn. Equip Corn Herbicide is not recommended for

c use on corn grown for seed (inbreds). Equip Corn Herbicide can be used on all types of field corn, including hi-lysine, white and high oil corn. Injury arising from Equip Corn Herbicide due to hybrid sensitivity is the responsibility of the user. Follow seed company recommendation charts for hybrid sensitivity to sulfonylurea herbicides or ALS inhibitors. Do not apply Equip Corn Herbicide to corn that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications of other herbicides. INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION Soil Insecticide Interaction Information When Equip Corn Herbicide and organophosphate (OP) insecticides are applied to corn, the degradation of Equip Corn Herbicide is slower and corn injury can occur. Do not use Equip Corn Herbicide in the same season as Counter® 15G, Counter® 20CR in furrow, Dyfonate® and Thimet®. For all corn hybrids, the following soil applied insecticides may be used prior to an application of Equip Corn Herbicide : Soil Applied Insecticide Aztec® Capture®, Force®, Regent® Lorsban® 15G Counter® 20CR Counter® 20CR Counter® 15G, Thimet®, Dyfonate® Use Pattern All All All T-band In-furrow All Use of Equip Corn Herbicide in the Same Season No use precautions No use precautions Temporary injury may occur Consult Counter® 20CR label DO NOT USE DO NOT USE Foliar Insecticide Interaction Information Foliar applications of an OP insecticide should not be made within 7 days of an Equip Corn Herbicide application or injury may result. APPLICATION TIMING Weed Application Timing Equip Corn Herbicide is for postemergent use only. Best results are obtained when applications are made to young actively growing weeds. Equip Corn Herbicide will affect weeds that are larger than the recommended height, however, speed of activity and control may be reduced. Equip Corn Herbicide will provide short term residual control of small seeded broadleaf weeds. Broadcast Corn Application Timing Broadcast applications of Equip Corn Herbicide must be made when corn is V1 (i.e., exhibiting 1 visible collar) through V4 growth stage. Late or Rescue Applications: Applications of Equip Corn Herbicide at 1.5 ounces per acre may be applied to escaped weeds beyond labeled weed heights. In these situations, partial control and reduced weed competition can be expected. Drop Nozzles must be used for applications of Equip Corn Herbicide when corn is greater than V4 and less than V8 stage of growth. Do not apply to corn that is more mature than V8 (i.e. more than 8 visible leaf collars) stage of growth. Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates competition from foxtail exceeding 4 inches in height may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and other annual grasses that exceed the sizes stated on the label increases the risk of yield losses due to prolonged competition with the crop even though control may be acceptable. Applications of Equip Corn Herbicide on corn that is V5 to V8 increases the potential for crop response. The risk may be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, by using drop nozzles properly placed between corn rows to optimize coverage on the weeds, od: minimize spray contact in the whorl and the leaf axles of the corn stalks. SPRAY ADDITIVES ^-- C"> *- t 0 Equip Corn Herbicide is a water dispersible granule that requires the use of an external adjuvant and nitrogen fertilizer. c • Methylated or ethylated seed oil, containing at least 80% MSO and with 10% emulsifier or greater,'i£ Wnbination with nitrogen fertilizer, is the recommended adjuvant type to provide optimum weed control with Equip Corn Herbicide^ L ( c • Non-ionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates, crop oil concentrate/methylated seed oil blends, and vcfinad vegetable Loilp are not recommended for use with Equip Corn Herbicide. The use of these adjuvants in place of methylated: seed oil will result in unacceptable weed control. < '•<-<-<- ^ • In areas of low relative humidity (west of U.S. Highway 281, which begins in Texas and ends in North Dakota) kJrea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) is preferred over Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) and higher rates are recommended. <- i

f H • The addition of nitrogen fertilizer replacements or adding insufficient amounts of nitrogen fertilizer may result in reduced weed control. Recommended rates for methylated or ethylated seed oils and nitrogen fertilizers are listed in the following table: Gallons Per Acre (GPA) 10-20 10-20 Adjuvant Type Methylated or Ethylated Seed Oil (MSO or ESO) Methylated or Ethylated Seed Oil (MSO or ESOJ Adjuvant Rate1 1 .5 pts./acre 1 .5 pts./acre Nitrogen Fertilizer2 28% or 32% Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) Spray Grade Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) Nitrogen Fertilizer Rate 1 .5 -2 qts./acre 1.5-3lbs/ac 1 For spray volumes of 15 gallons per acre or more, 1% v/v of methylated or ethylated seed oil can be used. 2 Nitrogen fertilizer must be used in combination with an adjuvant. APPLICATION METHODS Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds. Do not use nozzles that produce FINE (e.g. - Cone) or EXTRA COARSE (e.g. - Flood jet) spray droplets. Ground Application Equip Corn Herbicide can be applied broadcast in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. For weed control in dense weed populations or under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre is recommended. Typically, flat-fan nozzles operated at 30-60 PSI will deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, providing optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. Lower pressure operation and/or higher volume flat fan nozzles, typically, deliver COARSE sprays. Refer to nozzle manufacturer catalogs. Air induction nozzles should be used at or near 80 psi to produce a medium droplet size. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Equip Corn Herbicide. Mixing Instructions Equip Corn Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding Equip Corn Herbicide, ensure that the spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned.

1. Fill spray tank with 25% of the required volume of water, and begin agitation prior to the addition of Equip Corn Herbicide.
2. Continue agitation to ensure full dispersion of Equip Corn Herbicide.
3. If Equip Corn Herbicide is applied in a tank mixture with other pesticides, add Equip Corn Herbicide to the spray tank first and ensure it is thoroughly dispersed before adding other pesticides.
4. Continue to fill the spray tank with water to the desired volume and agitate while adding the required spray adjuvants and nitrogen fertilizers. Continue agitation during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. (If is added to a partial tank of spray solution, pre-slurry Equip Corn Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.) If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is the nitrogen fertilizer source, it is preferred that the AMS go into the tank before the Equip Corn Herbicide. RE-SUSPENDING WG PRODUCTS IN SPRAY SOLUTION i > c: (. i (. Like other Water Dispersible Granules or suspension concentrates (SC's), will settle if left standing without agitatioh. If the spray solution is allowed to settle for one hour or more, re-agitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before applications COMPATIBILITY l^T^ "^ If Equip Corn Herbicide is to be tank mixed with other herbicides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing, fo test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratfocas!the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually occur within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each tank mix product used for precautionpr^statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions. ^ [

1. Drain the tank completely, then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Fill the tank half full with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of 1% (i.e., 1 gallon of domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Completely fill the tank with water. Agitate/recirculate and flush through boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
3. Repeat Step 2.
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1% ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and remove visible residues.
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat Step 2. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Equip Corn Herbicide is not volatile. Damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift. Spray drift can be managed by several application factors and by spraying under the appropriate climatic conditions. Consequently, avoidance of spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator. 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 i3Lb.!ev>'ing away from the sensitive areas). L C c <_ Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many e^LMpiriejit-and-weaJher-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for cons[deri£igjall these factors when making decisions. ' '

Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur. INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: 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). Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds. CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: • 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 so 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: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. APPLICATION HEIGHT: 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. For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. 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: 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: 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. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.

i TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: • Do not make ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. 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. ROTATIONAL CROP DIRECTIONS Equip Corn Herbicide rapidly degrades in the soil. This degradation is enhanced by warm moist soils that are microbially active. If a corn crop has been destroyed by hail or other means soon after a Equip Corn Herbicide application, corn can be replanted 15 days after the Equip Corn Herbicide application. Rotational intervals to all other crops is illustrated below: Rotational Crop Intervals for Equip Corn Herbicide Crop Rotational Interval Alfalfa Barley (Spring) Barley (Winter) Canola Corn (Field, Pop, Sweet) Cotton * Dry Beans Grain or Forage Sorghum Oats Peas, Snap Beans Potatoes Red Clover Rice Rye (Winter) Soybeans Sugarbeets Sunflowers Wheat (Spring) Wheat (Winter) All other crops 18 months 8 months 2 months 18 months 15 days 9 months 18 months 9 months 9 months 18 months 18 months 18 months 18 months 2 months 9 months 18 months 18 months 8 months 2 months 18 months East of Interstate 35, planting of cotton must wait 18 months when soil pH is greater than 7.5 and when less than 15" of annual precipitation has occurred from an application of Equip Corn Herbicide. OTHER CROPS All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful field bioassay after a Equip Corn Herbicide application. Refer to the "Field Bioassay" section. FIELD BIOASSAY t <. c <. c ,. c A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to crops other than those specified in the "Rotational Crop Directions" section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop you intend to grow the following seasorj^ri afield previously treated with Equip Corn Herbicide. The test strip should include low areas and knolls, and include variations in sovl sueh as type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in areascprevioi;:sly treated'with Equip Corn Herbicide. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT \ ( c Some weed populations may contain plants naturally resistant to Equip Corn Herbicide or other herbioicia^with the" Game! mode of action (ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibitors). Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action, allow resistant weeds to_spread. To manage the development and spread of resistant weed populations, use herbicides with different modes'of actioncin tank mixture, rotation, or in conjunction with alternate cultural practices. Equip Corn Herbicide can be used effectively as one of the{Lrii6ofcs of action in a Balance® Pro or Liberty® herbicide rotation.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

1. Equip Corn Herbicide is rainfast 2 hours after application to most weed species. Rainfall within 2 hours may necessitate retreatment with Option® Corn Herbicide or may result in reduced weed control. Applications should be made to actively growing weeds. Weed control may be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain or when weeds are under stress due to drought.
2. DO NOT apply when wind causes drift to off-site vegetation as injury may occur. Small amounts of Equip Corn Herbicide delivered via drift or tank contamination can cause severe damage to other crops. Careful management of spray drift and tank cleanout is required.
3. DO NOT apply more than one application of Equip Corn Herbicide to corn in one growing season.
4. DO NOT apply to soils with pH > 8.0.
5. DO NOT apply Equip Corn Herbicide within 70 days of harvesting corn grain or 45 days of harvesting corn forage. Do not graze within 45 days of an Equip Corn Herbicide application.
6. DO NOT plant rotational crops immediately following Equip Corn Herbicide application. Corn can be planted 15 days after an application of Equip Corn Herbicide. For all other crops refer to the rotational crops portion of this label.
7. DO NOT use nitrogen solutions as the sole herbicide spray carrier solution.
8. DO NOT apply this product by air or through any type of irrigation system.
9. Apply Equip Corn Herbicide spray mixtures within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
10. DO NOT apply more than 0.0765 Ib ai/A of foramsulfuron from all recommended application of Equip Corn Herbicide and Option® Corn Herbicide. 10
