PRODUCT INFORMATION
BRONATE Advanced™ is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate of octanoic acid and heptanoic acid esters of bromoxynil
containing the equivalent of 2.5 pounds of bromoxynil per gallon and 2.5 pounds per gallon of isooctyl ester of MCPA.
BRONATE Advanced is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting wheat, barley, oats, rye,
flax, and grass grown for sod . Optimum weed control is obtained when BRONATE Advanced is applied to actively growing weed
seedlings. BRONATE Advanced is primarily a contact herbicide; therefore, thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for
optimum control.
BRONATE Advanced has little residual activity. Therefore, subsequ ent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial tre atment.
Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes.
Occasional transitory leaf burn may occur. The temporary leaf bur n is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer. Because the activity of
BRONATE Advanced is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting effect. Frequency and amount of leaf burn
may be greater when crops are stressed by abras ive 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 burn, applications should be made to dry fo liage in the
recommended spray volumes per acre when weather conditions are not extreme.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT:
For resistance management, please note that Bronate Advanced Herbicide contains Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides. Any weed
population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed
population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be
followed.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Bronate Advanced Herbicide or other Group 4 and Group 6 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 su ch 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
5
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.
USE RESTRICTIONS
x Do not apply more than 1.6 pints of BRONATE Advanced Herbicide per acre in a single growing season.
x Do not apply more than 1.5 lb active i ngredients per acre per year of MCPA.
x Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
x Do not rotate treated fields with crops that are not listed on this label, or those that do not have established residue tolerances
for MCPA within 365 days following BRONATE Advanced Herbicide application. For crops listed on this label, a 30-day
plantback interval must be observed.
x Do not apply this product to golf course turf.
x Do not apply with backpack or hand-held application equipment.
x Handlers must use closed mixing loading systems during mixing/loading liquids for aerial applications to fallow land and high-

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 contain er 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.
Bulk Containers
If you will handle a total of 48 gallons or more of this produc t per day, you must use a mechanical transfer system for all mix ing and
loading operations. If this product is packaged in a 30-gallon or larger container, you must use a mechanical transfer system w hich
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 mechanic al transfer system with this type of coupling, contact your d ealer 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 the empty container and to transfer the rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank.
BRONATE ADVANCED ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the recommended amount
of BRONATE Advanced™. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spr ay
mixture during application.
TANK MIXTURES: BRONATE Advanced may be tank mixed with other pest icide 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 pestic ide label
limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be ex ceeded. BRONATE Advanced cannot be mixed with any product
containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
BRONATE Advanced can be applied in tank mixture with many other herbicides and insecticides registered for use on approved crop s.
Refer to the specific crop section for rate and other restrictio ns. To apply BRONATE Advanced 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. Af ter the other herbicide is thoroughly mixed with water, add the
recommended amount of BRONATE Advanced and add water to the spray tank to the desired level. If tank mixing with other product
types, add the BRONATE Advanced first before adding the other pr oduct. Always mix one product in water thoroughly before adding
another product or compatibility problems may occur.
Maintain sufficient agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. If spray mixture is allowe d to remain
6
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 sa tisfactory
spray preparation. To test for compatibilit y, 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 indi cations of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this m ixture for
spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear withi n 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 BRONAT E
Advanced™.
SPRAYABLE LIQUID FERTILIZERS AND SPRAY ADDITIVES
BRONATE Advanced can be applied in combination with sprayable liqui d 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 b efore adding
BRONATE Advanced™. Always predetermine the compatibility with liquid fertilizer by mixing small proportional quant ities in advance.
Agitation must be maintained during filling and application operations to ensure that BRONATE Advanced is evenly mixed with the
fertilizer. Leaf burn may occur when BRONATE Advanced is applied with liquid fertilizer, but new leaves are not adversely affected.
NOTICE: Fertilizers and spray additives can increase foli age leaf burn when applied with BRONATE Advanced™ . Do not apply
fertilizers or spray additives with BRONATE Advanced if leaf bu rn is a major concern due to environmental conditions, crop or v ariety
sensitivity to BRONATE Advanced. If BRONATE Advanced is mixed with liquid fertilizer, the fertilizer should compose no more tha n ½
the total spray mix.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
BRONATE Advanced can be applied to registered use areas by ground, aerial and sprinkler irrigation equipment.
GROUND APPLICATION
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 spaced no more than 20 inches on the boom with a spray pressure of 40-50 psi are
recommended. Nozzle types, nozzle spacings, and lower spray pressures that product coarse spray droplets may not provide adequa te
coverage of the weeds to ensure optimum control. Raindrop® noz zles and flood nozzles are not recommended as weed control with
BRONATE Advanced may be reduced. A spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray
coverage. A maximum ground speed of 10 mph is suggested. 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 will be helpful in obtaining uniform weed coverage. If you are unsure of
the infestation level or size of crop, consult your local agronomist or extension service.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use orifice discs, cores and nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for optimum spray distribution and maximum coverag e. 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 spr ay
volume per acre may result in reduced weed control.
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height
is necessary for pilot safety.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Select a nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets
x The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor
diameter.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or
crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A VOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
7
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
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.
Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
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.
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
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.
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.
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.
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
BRONATE Advanced Herbicide can be applied through sprinkler irrigat ion systems to wheat, barley, oats, rye, and grasses grown f or
sod.
Apply BRONATE Advanced 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 ch emigation, the pipe must not be handled in any way until 24 hour s after
chemigation has been completed and residues have been flushed from the system. When applying by chemigation, 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 SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM
1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum re lief 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, au tomatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of flui d back
toward the injection pump.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the int ake
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 functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the wat er
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 w ater
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displa cement 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 Advanced™.
9. BRONATE Advanced Herbicide should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application with center pivot and
continuous lateral move systems. Application of BRONATE Advanced Herbicide should be made during the last 30-45 minutes of
8
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 clea n
water.
12. If BRONATE Advanced Herbicide is diluted in the supply tank , fill the tank with half of the water amount desired, add the
BRONATE Advanced and then add remaining water amount with agitation. Always dilute with at least 4 parts water to 1 part
BRONATE Advanced™.
13. Start the sprinklers and then inject BRONATE Advanced Herbi cide into the irrigation line. BRONATE Advanced should be
injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mi xing.
Refer to the BRONATE Advanced Herbicide label for detailed information on application rates and timings.
CHEMIGATION USE RESTRICTIONS AND 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, when system connections or fittings leak, or when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all the lines and nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact Stat e Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or oth er
experts.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsibl e for its operations, or under the supervision of the responsibl e
person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

Nonrefillable container.
For nonrefillable containers of 5-gallon capacity or less
Do not reuse the container to hold materials other than pesticides or dilute pesticides (rinsate). After emptying and
cleaning, it may be allowable to temporarily hold rinsate or other pesticide-related materials in the container. Contact your
state regulatory agency to determine allowable practices in your state.
Triple rinse or pressure rinse (or equivalent) the container promptly after emptying.
Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds
after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into
application equipment or a mix-tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to
drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix-tank while rinsing,
or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at about 40
PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

For nonrefillable containers of greater than 5-gallon capacity
Do not reuse or refill this container.
Triple rinse or pressure rinse (or equivalent) the container promptly after emptying.
Triple rinse large nonrefillable containers NOT equipped with pumping systems as follows: Empty the remaining contents
into application equipment or mix-tank. Fill the container ¼ full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip the container
on its side and roll it back and forth for 30 seconds, ensuring at least one complete revolution. Stand the container on its
end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several
times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or mix-tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this
procedure two more times.
Triple rinse large nonrefillable containers equipped with pumping systems as follows: Empty the remaining contents into
application equipment or mix-tank. Fill the container about 10 percent full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate
water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system. Repeat
this rinsing procedure two more times.
Pressure rinse large containers as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix-tank. Place
container so that it can drain directly into application equipment or mix-tank while rinsing, or collect rinsate for later use or
disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle through the opening of the container or directly into the side of the container and
rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds or until rinsate runs clear. Continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow
begins to drip.
Once the nonrefillable container is properly rinsed, offer for recycling, if available. Some container manufacturers offer
container recycling. See additional information regarding manufacturer recycling programs attached to the container, if
available. If no recycling information is available on the container, contact your chemical dealer or Bayer CropScience at
