Environmental Hazards

This pesticide is toxic to marine/estuarine invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. Groundwater advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand which have less than 1% organic matter. Surface water advisory: Sulfentrazone can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions, sulfentrazone may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several to many months post-appli cation. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overly ing extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying tile drainage systems that drain to surface waters.

NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.

Physical/Chemical Hazards Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

3 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide, which contains the active ingredients sulfentrazone and cloransulam-methyl is a group 14 and 2 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. 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). · Apply full rates of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes. · 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 local retailer or county extension agent. · Contact your crop advisor or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to these MOAs have been found in your region. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple sites of action. Products with multiple active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product. · If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and 2 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 14 and 2 herbicides. · Avoid making more than two applications of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide and any other Group 14 and 2 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 an around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide is for preemergence control of broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans only. The mode of action of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Preemergence and preplant incorporated applications of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide require rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or irrigation require d for activation following DSSOLFDWLRQGHSHQGVRQH[LVWLQJVRLOPRLVWXUHRUJDQLFPDWWHUFRQWHQWDQGVRLOWH[WXUH,IDGHTXDWHPRLVWXUH»WRLVnot received within 7 to 10 days after the Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide treatment, a shallow cultivation may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When sufficient moisture is received after dry conditions, Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide will provide control of susceptible germinating weeds. Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide exhibits excellent crop safety. Poor growing conditions, such as excessive moisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the presence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these conditions, the active ingredients in Gauntlet 70 D F Herbicide, like other soil-applied herbicides, can contribute to crop response. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in tank mixtures with Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS

1. Do not apply Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide if there are visible signs of cracking due to soybean emergence, or serious crop injur y such as but not limited to stand loss may result.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

1. Back to back application of ALS or ALS containing herbicides can occasionally result in residual herbicide stacking and pote ntial crop injury. Applicator and grower are responsible and should be aware of previous herbicide use and potential interaction it may have with Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide application.
2. Ensure the seed furrow is closed and the seed covered on acres treated with Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide.
3. Soybean stunting may occur if excessive rainfall occurs after application but before soybeans emerge. Injury is more prevalent under poor drainage or compacted conditions or when soil is saturated for long periods of time. Soybeans outgrow stunting once favorable growing conditions return.
4. Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or drough t may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of crop injury.
5. When tank mixing, follow the most restrictive use rates and precautions of the mixing partners.

APPLICATION INFORMATION DO NOT APPLY TO CROPS OTHER THAN SOYBEANS. Ground Application Use a standard low pressure herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable nozzles and screens. Apply uniformly using properly calibrated nozzles and screens and strainers no finer than 50 mesh. Use 10 to 40 gallons of spray solution per acre. A minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre must be used for use in a tank mix with one or more contact, burndown herbicides. Do not exceed 40 psi spray pressure unless required by the spray nozzle manufacturer. Continuous agitation during application is required. Avoid swath overlaps. Shut off spray booms while turning, slowing or stopping, as over application may result. Do not allow Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide spray mixtures to sit overnight as settling of product and difficulty of re-suspending may occur. To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide applications must be drained and thorough ly cleaned with water plus ammonia before being used to apply other products. See Spray Clean-out Section. Avoid all direct, and/or indirect spray contact with non-target plants. Do not apply near desirable vegetation. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure.

Aerial Application Use Restrictions Aerial application is allowed only when environmental conditions prohibit ground application. When this product is applied by air, applicator must use a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. The maximum release height must be 10 feet from the top of the canopy, u nless a greater application height is required for pilot safety.

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

These requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials.

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed ¾ the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Observe the regulations of the State where applications are made.
4. Applicators must observe and abide by the requirements of the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.

BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMETAL CONDITONS.

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 for pesticide performance. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. (See information on Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in subsequent sections). Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when used as a preemergent/preplant application. Select medium to very coarse droplet size when used postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide. Do not apply as spray droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASAE standard).

Controlling Spray Droplet Size Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the greatest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flow generally produce larger droplets.

Pressure - When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles rather than increasing spray pressure.

Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. Lower pressure produces larger droplets in many types of nozzles.

Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

Nozzle Orientation – For aerial application, the recommended practice is to orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstrea m. This orientation usually produces larger droplets as compared to other nozzle orientations. Significant nozzle 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 larg er droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles for both ground and aerial applications. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight ba ck usually produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift potential in aerial applications

Boom Length – For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than ¾ of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

Application Height - Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plant canopy 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.

Swath Adjustment – When aerial applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath ad justment or offset distance should increase when conditions favor increased drift potential (higher winds, smaller droplets, etc).

5 Wind – Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Application should be avoided below 3 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 may potentially 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 – Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because 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 low speed and variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing tempe ratures with altitude and are common during conditions of limited cloud cover and little to no wind. They often begin to form as the sun se ts and may often continue into the morning. The presence of a temperature inversion may be indicated by ground fog. However if fog is not pres ent, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify inversions. Smoke that remains in layers and mo ves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low speed wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

Sensitive Areas – The pesticide should only be applied when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).

Off-Target Movement of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide Drift of dilute spray mixtures containing Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will significantly diminish the risk of off-target spray drift. Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by drift on to sensitive crops and other plants. This symptomology may manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of the spray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dosage of sulfentrazone) and also depending on the inherent sensitivity of the plants involved, these spots or lesions may or may not coalesce. These effects will usually not have lasting effects on plant growth, but will likely reduce the value of affected fruit or foliage where grade or quality is associated with appearance. In severe drift instances with particularly sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage could result. Failure to follow these guidelines and environmental prohibitions that then result in off-target movement or drift of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide on to unintended crops or plants, irrespective of severity, constitutes misapplication of this product. FMC accepts no responsibility or liability for potential crop effects that may result from such misapplication of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide.

Preplant Burndown Application Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide, used at 6.45 – 8.0 oz/A as in Full Rate Table 1 above, aids in the burndown of weeds listed below, when applied as follows. Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide can provide for increased burndown activity on emerged weeds in no-till applications, but is not intended to replace part or all of an appropriate preplant burndown program. For control of the weeds in the Weeds Controlled table in no- till / minimum till fields, Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide must be tank-mixed or used in combination with a full burndown program. This may include 2,4- D alone or in combination with carfentrazone-ethyl, dicamba, gl yphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, or other appropriate burndown h erbicides in tank- mixes at their appropriate rate for the size and species of weeds present. Reduced rates of Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide and/or th e corresponding burndown partner herbicides can result in weed escapes and unsatisfactory performance. Apply a minimum of ten gallons per acre finished spray volume. Thorough coverage is essential. Use a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) having at least 80% active ingredient strength at 0.125-0.25% v/v (1-2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) plus ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 2.5% v/v. Crop oil concentrate (COC) and Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) at 1.2% v/v plus ammonium sulfate may be used. Burndown results may be slowed or reduced when the growth of the weeds is affected by unusual environmental factors just prior to or after application such as especially cool or widely fluctuating day and night air temperatures, drought, heat stress, or waterlogged soils. Weeds Controlled When used as directed for burndown, Gauntlet 70 DF Herbicide will aid in the control or suppression of the following broadleaf weeds up to 3” tall.
