WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, AIM EW HERBICIDE is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to AIM EW HERBICIDE and other Group 14 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of AIM EW HERBICIDE or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a diff erent group if such 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 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.
• 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.
4 • Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resi stance 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 indivi duals 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact FMC Corporation at1-800-331- 3148.

PRODUCT INFORMATION AIM EW HERBICIDE is emulsion oil in water formulation. AIM EW HERBICIDE is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops and non-crop areas for selective postemergence control of broadleaf weeds, for sucker control, for burndown prior to planting, as a harvest aid and to defoliate/desiccate labeled crops.
Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds. AIM EW HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation.
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the activity of AIM EW HERBICIDE symptoms may be accelerated under moist conditions. Weed control may be reduced when weeds are hardened off by drought and become less susceptible to AIM EW HERBICIDE.
AIM EW HERBICIDE is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6 to 8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Environmental conditions and with certain spray tank additives may increase herbicidal symptoms on the crop.
TANK MIXTURES AIM EW HERBICIDE may be tank-mixed with other registered herbicides for controlling broader spectrum weeds Refer to this and other product’s labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank mix partner. When preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitation of the ingredients and
6 failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Fill the tank one fourth full with water. With the agitator operating, add the recommended amounts of ingredients using the following orde r: dry granules first and liquid suspensions (flowables) second. As the agitation continues and the tank is filled with water add emulsifiable concentrate products third followed by the addition of water soluble products.
ADJUVANT USE REQUIREMENTS The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum performance. Refer to the individual crop sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
ON-FARM TESTING Not all varieties or cultivars of labeled crops have been fully evaluated under all environmental and soil conditions. Consult with your local seed company for additional information. It may also be beneficial to conduct small on-farm trials under actual conditions with specific varieties or cultivars before treating large acreage.
MIXING INFORMATION Mixing and Loading Instructions Start by filling the tank with ¾ of the desired volume of clean water and, with agitation, add the proper amount of AIM EW HERBICIDE. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired volume. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep materials in solution during both mixing and application and until the spray tank has been emptied. For tank mixtures, follow your local extension guidelines for mixing order. General guidelines are: add dry materials first and agitate until mixed; then EW or water soluble liquids; then EC formulations; then, add adjuvants last. Ensure the compatibility of other products and/or liquid fertilizers with AIM EW HERBICIDE before mixing them together in the spray tank.
Mixing Precautions Avoid the overnight storage of AIM EW HERBICIDE spray mixtures. If spray solution is stored overnight or longer, thoroughly agitate spray mixture before applying the solution. Premixing AIM EW HERBICIDE spray solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended. Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used. Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solution to alter the pH range as appropriate.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT Many new pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after spraying AIM EW HERBICIDE and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with AIM EW HERBICIDE as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application.
- Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2.

-
Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
-
Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
-
Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water.
-
Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and guidelines.
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with AIM EW HERBICIDE spray solution remaining in the tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers. If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning any application.
Should small quantities of AIM EW HERBICIDE remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
APPLICATION METHODS
GROUND APPLICATION Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver uniform spray droplets to the targeted plant or plant parts. Adjust sprayer nozzles to achieve uniform plant coverage. Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may result in higher application rates and possible crop response.
Spray Buffer for Ground Application Spray buffer zones for ground applications, listed in chart below, are required near desirable perennial vegetation or crops before blossom and after total leaf drop, and/or near other desirable or annual crops.
Buffers For Ground Application AIM EW HERBICIDE USE RATE (lb ai/A) Low Spray Boom Buffer (ft) High Spray Boom Buffer (ft) 0.024 20 33 0.031 26 46
8 Broadcast Boom Sprayers Use a broadcast boom sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 12- 18 inches above the crop or weed canopy depending on the nozzle specification. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows or into the whorl of treated crop plants.
Directed Sprayers For directed sprayers apply AIM EW HERBICIDE with drop nozzles or other post directed spray equipment.
Post-Directed Applications Post-directed applications may be utilized when labeled crops have reached minimum growth stages where sprays may be directed to the target weeds, but is not deposited on the green stem, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop. Do not apply when conditions favor drift or when wind speed is above 10MPH. Use drop nozzles or other spray equipment capable of directing the spray to target weeds and away from sensitive plant parts. Apply when labeled crops have reached minimum growth stages described in specific crop sections of this label and when spray will not be deposited on green stems, foliage, blossoms or fruit.
Hooded Sprayers To apply AIM EW HERBICIDE using a hooded sprayer, refer to the Hooded Sprayer Section for specific adjustment and operation instructions. For additional information, refer to the individual crop sections of this label.
Hand held or high volume orchard gun sprayers AIM EW HERBICIDE may be applied to certain labeled crops and non-crop areas with hand operated sprayers such as backpack sprayers, compression sprayers, knapsack sprayers, or high volume orchard gun sprayers. Directed applications may be utilized when labeled crops have reached minimum growth stages where sprays may be directed to the target weeds, but is not deposited on the green stem, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop. Refer to individual crop sections of this label.
AERIAL APPLICATION Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply at a mini mum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Spray volumes greater than 3 GPA may be needed for harvest aid and defoliation treatments, or for dense weed populations or with heavy crop canopies.
For Aerial Application in California: Refer to individual crop sections to see if SHARK ® EW Herbicide application is permitted by air For applications near desirable perennial vegetation or crops before blossom and after total leaf drop, and/or near other desirable or annual crops: -Do not apply within 100 feet of all desirable vegetation or crops.
9 -If wind up to 10 miles per hour is blowing toward desirable vegetation or crops, do not apply within 500 feet of the desirable vegetation or crops. -Do not apply when winds are in excess of 10 mph or when inversion conditions exist.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
Carfentrazone-ethyl is a contact PPO herbicide. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegetation. AIM EW HERBICIDE is not volatile, however; mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants. The interaction of 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 movement from applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
Information on droplet size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The optimum 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 when applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers. For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows usually produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not use pressures greater than that specified by the nozzle manufacturer. 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 – For aerial application, orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream. A parallel orientation results in larger droplets than other orientations and reduces air turbulence and the production of small droplets. 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. For aerial applications, solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and potentially the least drift.
10
Boom Length - For some aerial 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 – Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind movement. Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Swath Adjustment - Swath adjustment distance must increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind - Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determi ne drift potential at any given wind speed. Applications shall be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Do not apply AIM EW HERBICIDE when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator shall 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.
Temperature Inversions – Do not apply AIM EW HERBICIDE during a temperature inversion because the 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 following 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.
Shielded Sprayers - Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
Sensitive Areas – AIM EW HERBICIDE shall only be applied when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species and non-target crops).

AGRICULTURE FARM AND FARMSTEAD USE – NON-CROP AIM EW HERBICIDE may be used for general broadleaf weed control on farms and farmsteads in areas outside of crop growing areas. See the rate and weed table to determine the proper rate for areas such as grass waterways, field edges, terraces, equipment storage areas, shelter belts, fence lines, farm buildings, dry ditch, canal banks etc. AIM EW HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide and coverage is essential for good weed control. AIM EW HERBICIDE will control emerged weeds only. Weeds that germinate after application will require repeat treatments. Precautions Extreme caution must be used to avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Do not spray or allow spray mist of AIM EW HERBICIDE to come in contact with green stem tissue, foliage, blooms or desirable fruit.
BOOM EQUIPMENT Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE at up to 2.0 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai/A).
Adjuvant Requirements A nonionic surfactant crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient or a petroleum or oil seed based crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1.5 to 2 % v/v (1.5 to 2.0 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution) or a methylated seed oil (MSO). A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/ v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons) or ammonium sulfate at 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the selected NIS, MSO or COC is allowed.
Tank Mixes for Boom Equipment AIM EW HERBICIDE may be mixed with other herbicides labeled for this method of application in non-crops areas for broader spectrum weed control. See Mixing and Loading Instructions under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of this label for specific mixing instructions. Refer to this and the other product’s labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank-mix partner.
SPOT TREATMENTS (Applications with hand operated sprayer such as backpack sprayers, compression sprayers, knapsack sprayers.) Mix the amount of AIM EW HERBICIDE for the desired percent spray solution from the table below. These mixtures are based on 1 gallon of solution evenly covering 1000 square feet. Applications should be made on a spray-to-wet basis. Spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to runoff. See Table 4 for weeds controlled at specific concentrations. Use lower concentrations for small seedling weeds at the 2-3 leaf stage. Higher concentrations are needed for larger weeds up to the 6-leaf stage. Applications beyond the 6-leaf stage may result in only partial control. AIM EW HERBICIDE may be mixed with other labeled herbicides e.g. glyphosate, glufosinate, and paraquat for broader spectrum weed control.

HOODED SPRAYER APPLICATIONS Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE to the row middles of the following emerged crops using hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of the below listed emerged crops. This treatment is for crops grown in rows, and includes crops grown in rows where mulch or plastic barriers are used as a weed control tool in the drill or plant line.
Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and to prevent any spray deposition to green stem tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop.
Sprayers shall not be operated at more than five (5) miles per hour in order to minimize vertical movement of the sprayer during application, including the bouncing or raising of the equipment. Use extreme care in applying to fields where the soil surface is uneven, has deep furrows, drains or other contours that would disturb the adjustment and positioning of the spray equipment and/or the spray pattern. Applications must not be made when wind conditions may disturb the spray patterns and result in spray deposition to sensitive plants or plant parts.
20 For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control.

Between Cutting In-Season Application (Spring/Summer Applications Postemerge on Weeds) AIM EW HERBICIDE may be applied alone or in combination with other registered herbicides between cuttings (in-season) for the post emergence control of weeds in established crop stands. In-season applications should be made as soon as possible after removal of the previous hay crop and prior to significant regrowth on stems and crowns. Applications may be made from hay removal up to 6 inches of new growth. To control insect pests, AIM EW HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with insecticides, including Mustang Maxx.
AIM EW HERBICIDE Use Rates - Postemerge For optimum results, weeds should be treated when small. Applications should be made in spray volumes sufficient to provide complete coverage of foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application equipment, and a minimum of 3 gallons per acre of finished spray for aerial equipment. For optimum results, apply AIM EW HERBICIDE to weeds up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Use a quality nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25%
24 v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. For more active treatments, use a Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) at 0.5 to 1.0% v/v (one half to one gallon per 100 gallons). Some temporary leaf speckling and necrosis may occur on green alfalfa or clover tissue present with between cutting applications, which should be rapidly outgrown under good growing conditions. Adjuvant selection and high moisture environmental conditions will enhance this effect. A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed. Coverage is essential for satisfactory performance. Repeat application if necessary. Do not irrigate just prior to or just after application. Weed control under dry and hot conditions will be improved with COC or similar products.
Tank Mix For tank mixture applications, refer to the use directions and restrictions of the mixture product. AIM EW HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with other labeled herbicides to control weeds not listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers’ label directions and label restrictions for the companion herbicide. When tank mixing AIM EW HERBICIDE with other products, be sure AIM EW HERBICIDE is mixed in the spray tank water first.
Harvest Aid Treatment Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE to crops grown for forage, hay or seed alone or as a tank mixture with other harvest aids.

Coverage is essential for satisfactory performance
Seed Corn Production: For seed production fields, apply AIM EW HERBICIDE using drop nozzles or other equipment to make a directed spray treatment. Avoid directing spray solution into the whorl.
Seed corn inbred lines have generally shown good tolerance to AIM EW HERBICIDE. However, all inbred lines have not been tested. Broadcast applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sp rayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Sweet Corn Precaution: When applying AIM EW HERBICIDE to sweet corn; broadcast applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Use only NIS as the spray adjuvant in sweet corn applications.
Application Precautions: Leaf speckling can occur when AIM EW HERBICIDE is used with certain crop protection products and adjuvants. Refer to the Tank Mixtures and Adjuvants requirements sections under PRODUCT INFORMATION. Bromoxynil mixtures and bentazon mixtures may cause significant crop response when in contact with crop foliage.
Crop Response The application of AIM EW HERBICIDE to corn may result in temporary crop response such as speckling or necrosis of the leaves. Grain yields will not be affected. Do not make applications when air temperatures are abnormally cool or humidity is high or if the corn foliage is wet from dew,
33 rainfall or irrigation. Users should be aware of these inherent risks and accept these risks prior to application of AIM EW HERBICIDE.

Timing Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE when cotton is actively growing and the plants have 1% to 20% open bolls; with applications at 15% open bolls being optimum. When using the Cotman monitoring program, apply AIM EW HERBICIDE at NAWF5, plus 450 – 650 heat units. Avoid Managed Maturity treatments to fields, or areas of fields, that are stressed.
AIM EW HERBICIDE Use Rates – Managed Maturity Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE as a broadcast spray at 0.25 fl oz/A (0.004 lb ai/A ) to 0.5 fl oz/A (0.008 lb ai/A ), targeting 0.375 fl oz/A (0.006 lb ai/A ) in spray volume adequate to obtain upper canopy coverage of the plant foliage. In situations of extremely lush growth, apply up to 0.5 fl oz/A (0.008 lb ai/A ). Make applications using a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and a minimum of 5 gallons per acre by air. Good upper canopy coverage is essential for optimum performance.
Use a quality crop oil concentrate (COC) at the recommended rate of 1% v/v.
Defoliation / Harvest Aid Application Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE as a harvest aid to defoliate and desiccate cotton and troublesome weeds that may be present at harvest. Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton harvest aids. Use a quality spray adjuvant e.g. nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) at the recommended rates. NIS is the recommended adjuvant during warmer periods with COC being the better choice for applications during cooler periods. Make application when 60 to 70 percent of the bolls are open, or according to the State Agricultural Extension Service guidelines in the use area.
Apply up to 1.6 fl oz/A AIM EW HERBICIDE (up to 0.031 lb ai/A) in spray volume sufficient to provide complete coverage of cotton foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per acre for aerial application. Coverage is essential for good defoliation. Repeat application if necessary to remove remaining foliage or control regrowth. Do not apply more than 3.2 fl oz/A (0.05 lb ai/A) total as a harvest aid. Dense cotton canopy, large plant size, and environmental conditions not conducive to complete plant coverage may reduce initial application performance and increase the need for a second application.

69 DIRECTIONS FOR USE Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE alone or in a tank mix combination with other herbicides and insecticides as a fallow systems treatment, as a preplant burndown treatment and/or as a harvest aid to desiccate potatoes and those susceptible weeds that may be present.
Fallow Systems Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE by ground or air alone or with other herbicides in the fallow period prior to planting or the emergence of any crop listed on this label to control or suppress weeds. For optimum performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good weed control.
AIM EW HERBICIDE may be utilized in Fallow Cropping Systems for chemical weed control to aid in moisture conservation between cropping periods.
Preplant Burndown Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE alone or with other her bicides or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down treatment to control or suppress weeds. AIM EW HERBICIDE is effective as a burndown treatment for crops prior to new plantings. Do not exceed the applicable amounts as listed for the specific crop in the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AIM EW HERBICIDE USE in Table 1. For optimum performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control . Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with labeled burndown herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2,4-D, or dicamba.
Harvest Aid Desiccation Application Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE foliar to potatoes in the later stages of senescence for desiccation of potato foliage and vines. AIM EW HERBICIDE will also desiccate late season susceptible broadleaf weeds to aid in tuber harvest. Adequate desiccation is achieved within 14 days after the initial treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active vegetative growth stage when desiccation is initiated, two applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem tissue. Dense potato canopy, large plant size and environmental conditions not conducive to product absorption or activity will reduce initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second application. If a second application is necessary, apply at 7 to 14 days after the first application. Thorough coverage of the potato plant to be desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of water to obtain thorough coverage of the potato leaves and vines.
Ground Application Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE in at least 20 gallons of water per acre. Vary the spray volume and spray pressure as indicated by the density of the potato canopy and vines to assure thorough spray coverage. Increase the spray volume and pressure if the potato canopy is dense or under cool, cloudy or dry conditions. Increased spray volumes will enhance performance.
Aerial Application Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE with aerial equipment using 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre, using higher volumes when potato canopies and vines are dense. Adjust the nozzles to provide a uniform pattern and a droplet size of 350 to 450 microns.
70 Adjuvant Requirements A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO), crop oil concentrate (COC) or other suitable surfactant mixture is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate (COC)(petroleum or seed oil) at 1 to 2 v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution. The use of a high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed. Adjuvant rates should increase as spray volumes exceed 20 gallons per acre.
Tank Mix Apply AIM EW HERBICIDE as a tank mix or as a sequential application with other potato desiccants. Refer to the other product’s label for restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.
