4 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Command 3ME, which contains the active ingredient clomazone is a group 13 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance. The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance management program.

5 To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should: • Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present. • Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches) with a burndown herbicide. • To minimize resistance, apply full labeled rates of Command 3ME. • Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species. • Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively. • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. • Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 13 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. • Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical: • Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program. • Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action. • Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 13 herbicides. • Avoid making more than two applications of Command 3ME and any other Group 13 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds. • Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program. • Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness. • Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds. • Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production. MIXING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BULK/MINI-BULK CONTAINERS 110 and 120 Gallon Compack Containers Equipment Requirements: Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is a microencapsulated herbicide and requires a diaphragm type pump in order to maintain product quality. DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps.Bulk/Minibulk containers have been prefitted with a Scienco DD6 diaphragm type pump for recirculation and dispensing of product. Dispensing Instructions: When ready to dispense Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide from the Compack, the applicator needs to recirculate the product in the container, if the product has settled or separated, for approximately 5 minutes or until the product is thoroughly turned over. The Scienco DD6 pump is equipped with recirculation capability. This allows for quick and efficient mixing of product which may have separated or settled in storage. To recirculate, press down the bypass pushrod lever to the locked position (slid under the motor) and turn on the motor. The discharge ball valve at the end of the hose must be closed before turning on the motor. Once the product is thoroughly recirculated the applicator may then begin the process of dispensing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide into the spray tank, loading or mixing system. The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label. 250 Gallon Bulkdrum III Containers Equipment Requirements: Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is a microencapsulated herbicide and requires a diaphragm type pump in order to maintain product quality. DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps. The following pumps are suitable for moving Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide from the 250 gallon Bulkdrum into spray tanks, mixing systems, or dedicated repackaging minibulk tanks*: Tuthill Fill-Rite Chemtraveller portable transfer pump Scienco Caddy-SS portable transfer pump
6 Scienco DD6 pump Tuthill Fill-Rite Series 400 diaphragm pumps Dispensing Instructions: When ready to dispense Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide from the Bulkdrum, the dealer/applicator must recirculate the product in the container, for at least 15 minutes. This can be done by hooking a portable pump such as listed above to the bot tom bung, opening the valve and directing the outlet nozzle into the 6” top port (seal must be broken). Directing the nozzle stream into the corners will ensure more complete turning of the product volume. Once the product is thoroughly circulated, the dealer/applica tor may then begin the process of dispensing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide into the dedicated repackaging minibulk container(s)*, or spray tank, loading or mixing system. Rinse the empty Bulkdrum container and transfer the rinsate directly t o the mix or spray tank. The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label.
- Any dealer wishing to repackage Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide must comply with all Federal, State and local laws perta ining to bulk herbicide handling and possess a signed repackaging agreement from FMC Corporation. RESTRICTIONS x DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps x The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label APPLICATION DIRECTIONS IMPORTANT FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS SECTION OF THE LABEL MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO SENSITIVE PLANTS • The microencapsulation of clomazone, the active ingredient in Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide, is intended to minimize movement away from the site of application. Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing. Leave an adequate buffer zone between the area to be treated and desirable plants. • PRECAUTIONS: Foliar contact with spray drift or vapors may cause foliar whitening or yellowing of sensitive plants. Symptoms are generally temporary in nature, but may persist on some plant species. Application restrictions must be taken as follows: • Observe all buffer restrictions. • Before application, determine air movement and direction. Refer to individual crop use directions for additional requirements. BUFFER RESTRICTIONS • DO NOT apply within 300 feet of downwind crops and desirable non-target plants. • DO NOT apply within 1,200 feet of Towns and Housing Developments, Commercial Fruit, Nut, or Vegetable Production1, Commercial Greenhouses or Nurseries. 1 Except for vegetable crops registered for use on the Command 3ME herbicide label. APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS • DO NOT apply this product by air or through irrigation equipment. • DO NOT apply Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide to non-field areas including fence rows, waterways, ditches, and roadsides. • When moving spray equipment to noncontiguous sites, DO NOT allow spray solution to spray or drip from tanks, hoses, fittings or spray nozzles and tips. • DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift. MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS • User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
7 SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES 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. W hile applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential fo r 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. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 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. ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS Under some conditions, temporary whitening or yellowing of leaves may occur on approved rotational crops where undesirable soil residues of Command 3ME exist. Under abnormal conditions, carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The following factors can contribute to increased ri sk of injury to rotational crops:
- Over-application resulting from use of worn nozzles, excessive over-lapping of spray swaths, failing to shut off spray booms when turning (end row areas), or slowing or stopping sprayer.
- Soil with pH less than or equal to 5.9.
- Extreme dryness in the four months following application.
- Choice of rotational crop hybrid. Additional instructions to prevent rotational crop injury may be provided in the form of service bulletins for locations where risk of injury is significantly increased due to extremely dry conditions. Refer to Rotational Crop Instructions and Replanting Instructions of specific crops for additional crop planting information. SPRAYER CLEANUP DO NOT drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or move into contact with their roots. DO NOT contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops. Carefully follow sprayer clean-up instructions noted below to prevent spray tank residues from damaging other crops. Sprayer equipment need to be thoroughly rinsed to remove residues of herbicide that might injure other subsequently sprayed crops. The steps below need to be followed for the thorough rinsing of spray equipment following applications of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide or tank mixes of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide with other labeled products.
- Drain any remaining spray solution from tank, pump, hoses and boom and discard in an approved manner (See Note that follows).
- Clean tank and fittings by:
8 • Thoroughly hosing down the inside walls of the spray tank with a quantity of water equal to 1/8 of the total tank capacity and operating the pump to circulate this solution through the sprayer system for 15 minutes. • Washing down the outside surfaces of equipment. • Removing nozzle tip and screen from end nozzle in each boom section and allowing several gallons of rinsate solution to flush completely through boom (collect rinsate while flushing). 3) Thoroughly drain remaining rinsate solution from tank, pump and hoses. Combine with boom flushing and dispose of all rinsates from this first rinsing in an approved manner (see Note that follows). • When switching from water dilutions to applications utilizing crop oil or liquid fertilizer as a carrier, a small volume of cr op oil or liquid fertilizer need to be flushed through the tank, pump, hoses, and boom prior to the next use. Dispose of crop oil or liquid fertilizer rinsate in an approved manner (see Note for local, state and federal guidelines). 4) Remove the remaining nozzle tips, and screens and the line filter and wash in a pail of warm soapy water, thoroughly rinse an d replace. 5) Hose down the inside walls of the spray tank a second time and circulate this solution using the same procedure as noted in # 2 above. 6) If the next use of the sprayer will be for applying a pre-emergent or preplant incorporated pesticide on any crop for which Command 3ME is registered, rinsate from this second rinsing may be utilized by diluting with the water for the next pesticide load; HOWEVER If the next use of the sprayer will be a post-emergence applied pesticide on any crop, drain rinsate solution from this second rinsing. Retain rinsate solution for use only with a soil incorporated pesticide to be applied on a crop for which Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is registered. Refill tank (after draining second rinsate solution) in accordance with post-emergence product label directions. NOTE: Dispose of excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first tank rinsing by application to cropland as described on this label. If excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first rinsing cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, dispose of in compliance with local, state and federal guidelines. Contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA regional office for guidance. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Care must be taken when mixing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide. Avoid mixing in areas adjacent to desirable plants. Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide Alone:Mix Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide with water or liquid fertilizer in the following manner: Fill the spray tank one-half to three-fourths full with water or liquid fertilizer, add the proper amo unt of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide, then add the rest of the water or liquid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform spray mixture. Tank Mixtures: It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must fo llow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Fill spray tank one-fourth to one-third full with water; with agitator operating add the specified amount of ingredients using the following order: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e.g., flowables) next and finally li quids (e.g., EC’s). Mix thoroughly and fill tank one-half full continuing agitation. Add Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide to tank whi le maintaining agitation. Complete filling the sprayer tank with water. Where use of a surfactant is advised, add as the last ingredient to the spray tank. Maintain agitation during filling, mixing and application. When using drift reducing agents, follow specific product label instructions for order of addition to spray tank. Fertilizer Spray Mixtures: Applications of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide alone, or with advised tank mixtures, in conjunction with fertilizer solutions may be used unless use directions specifically state otherwise. Small quantities need tobe tested for compatibility by the following procedure before mixing tank full quantities.
- Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
- Add the appropriate amount of herbicide based on the table below. If more than one product is to be used, add each separately using the following sequence: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e.g., flowabl es) next and finally liquids (e.g., EC’s). Amount to Be Added Herbicide Rate/Acre Per Pint of Fluid Fertilizer* Wettable 1/2 pound 3/4 level teaspoon Powders 1 pound 11/2 level teaspoons or 2 pounds 3 level teaspoons Dry Flowables 3 pounds 41/2 level teaspoons (Dry Granules) Emulsifiable 1 pint 1/2 level teaspoon Concentrates 1 quart 1 level teaspoon or 2 quarts 2 level teaspoons Flowables 3 quarts 3 level teaspoons

Use nozzles suitable for broadcast boom or banded application of herbicides. See “APPLICATION DIRECTIONS”, “BUFFER & APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS and MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT sections for specific instructions to reduce spray drift. For Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, nozzle screens and strainers need to be no finer than 50-mesh. Command 3 ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be used as a pre-emergent soil surface applied treatment from 30 days before planting to just prior to crop emergence. If field conditions indicate the need for additional seedbed preparation, the use of equipment which will move the herbicide no deeper than 11/2 - 2” is acceptable. Banded Applications—Calculate the rates and volumes required by using the following formulas: Band width in inches X Broadcast Rate Per Acre = Band rate per acre
10 Row width in inches Band width in inches X Broadcast Volume Per Acre = Band volume per acreRow width in inches Cultivation After Planting If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, compaction, or weed emergence, soil treated with Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be shallow-cultivated (no deeper than 11/2 - 2”) or rotary-hoed without reducing the weed control activity of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide. Avoid deep cultivation which may bring untreated soil to the surface and result in poor weed control.COMMAND GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS For Rates, Weed Control, and Crop Rotation
