Do not apply this product directly to, or permit spray mist to drift onto any unlabelled crops, including cotton, okra, grapes, tomatoes, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, or other desirable crop or ornamental plants which are susceptible to 2,4-D herbicide. Do not apply near susceptible plants as very small amounts of 2,4-D will cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods. Crops contacted by spray or spray drift may be killed or suffer significant stand loss and/or extensive quality and/or yield reduction.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, please note that F6119 EC contains both a Group 14 / Carfentrazone-ethyl and a Group 4 / 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, ethyl hexyl ester herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 14 and/or Group 4 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:
• Rotate the use of F6119 EC 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 different 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.
4
• 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.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible 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.
• 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 at 1-800-331-3148.

GENERAL INFORMATION
F6119 EC is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation. F6119 EC is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops for selective postemergence control of broadleaf weeds or for burndown prior to planting.
Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds. F6119 EC is a combination of a contact herbicide and a systemic herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days necrosis and death of the plant occur.
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the activity of F6119 EC. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms may be reduced as weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible to herbicides.
F6119 EC is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6 to 8 hours after either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Due to environmental conditions and with certain spray tank additives, some herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop.
5
Tank Mixtures F6119 EC may be tank-mixed with other herbicides to control weeds not listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for the companion herbicide. Tank mixtures of F6119 EC with EC formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrates, methylated seed oils, silicone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
Adjuvant Use Requirements The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum performance. Refer to the individual crop recommendation sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
Drift Reduction Agents Drift reduction agents may be used, especially near sensitive vegetation. Drift reduction agents can affect the spray pattern, causing reduced performance if adequate coverage is not obtained. Check your local county or state regulations that may require the use of a drift reduction agent.
On-Farm Testing Not all varieties or cultivars of labeled crops have been fully evaluated under all environmental and soil conditions. For additional and specific information, consult University or local Extension specialists. It may also be beneficial to conduct small on-farm trials under actual conditions with specific varieties or cultivars before treating large acreage.
Methods of Application F6119 EC is a versatile herbicide utilizing several different application methods to achieve the desired results. If F6119 EC is being applied in standing crop situations, application methods and adjustments must be precise to prevent undesirable effects to the desirable green stem tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crops being treated.
Aerial applications may be used in some situations. Aerial treatments should be made with a minimum of 3 gallons of total spray per acre with a minimum VMD of 450 microns.
Over-the-top applications may be utilized in some situations as noted in the individual crop directions. Spray volumes for ground applications should be 10 gallons of finished spray per acre to insure good target coverage. Spray tips must be positioned no less than 18 inches above the crop and operated in such manner as to avoid overlaps and slower than calibrated ground speeds.
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 .
Hooded Sprayer applications can be made to many labeled crops. Hooded sprayers must be designed and operated so as to totally enclose the spray nozzles and tips and spray pattern and prevent any spray deposition to the crop being treated.
Mixing and Loading Instructions Water Spray Solutions Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean water and activate the agitation system. Use the following mix order: (1) Dry formulations (e.g., powders, dry flowables) (2) Liquid suspensions (e.g., SC's, flowables) (3) Liquid formulations (e.g., F6119 EC and other EC's). (4) Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level.
The spray tank agitation should be sufficient to ensure uniform spray mixture during application and until the spray tank has been emptied. F6119 EC is an EC formulation which should be thoroughly mixed in the spray tank after dry or liquid suspension formulations are thoroughly mixed and before other products are added. A compatibility test should be conducted prior to mixing F6119 EC with other products. Premixing F6119 EC spray solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended.
Maintain continuous spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used.
Do not use with tank additives that lower the pH of the spray solution below a pH of 5 or increase the pH above a pH of 8. Buffer the spray solution to alter the pH range as appropriate.
Avoid storing spray mixtures overnight or for extended periods. If water mixtures are left unmixed for an extended period, the spray tank should be thoroughly agitated again prior to resuming application.
6
Fertilizer Spray Solutions F6119 EC herbicide applications with fertilizer solutions are recommended for preplant burndown and fallow treatments. Fertilizer mixtures with F6119 EC for foliar sprays over emerged crops may be allowed (see labeled crops section for specific use directions). F6119 EC should be pre-mixed with equal parts of product and water prior- to adding to the fertilizer solution. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full with liquid fertilizer. Make sure the agitation system is operating while adding products. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level. The spray tank agitation should be sufficient to ensure uniform spray mixture during application and must continue until the spray tank has been emptied. Application of the entire tank contents should be made immediately. Overnight storage of mixture is not recommended. Application in near freezing temperature conditions should be avoided to reduce risk of possible crop injury. F6119 EC is formulated to be compatible with fertilizer solutions. However, due to variability of fertilizers, use a jar test to ensure the compatibility of other product with F6119 EC before mixing then together in the spray tank.
Premixing F6119 EC spray solutions in nurse tanks with fertilizers is not recommended.
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 F6119 EC 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 F6119 EC 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.
-
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. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution.
-
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 F6119 EC 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 F6119 EC 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 INFORMATION
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.
7
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Spray Buffer for Ground Application Spray buffer zones for ground applications, listed in chart below, are required where local indigenous endangered plant species are found.
Buffers to Indigenous Endangered Plant Species F6119 EC USE RATE (lb ai/A) Low Spray Boom Buffer (ft.) High Spray Boom Buffer (ft.) 0.508 20 33 1.015 26 46
Conventional Boom and Nozzle Sprayers F6119 EC may be applied with a boom and nozzle 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 18 inches above the crop. Operate the sprayer to prevent herbicide concentration directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of treated crop plants.
Directed Sprayers F6119 EC may be applied with drop nozzles or other spray equipment capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from sensitive plant parts. F6119 EC may be applied up to the maximum rate for the target crop for the control of larger weed sizes or weeds not controlled with lower use rates. Where allowed, use appropriate rates of adjuvants such as nonionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates or methylated seed oils.
Hooded Sprayers Hooded sprayers may be used to apply F6119 EC. For additional information, refer to the individual crop sections of this label.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications: x For aerial applications, the distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan or 90% of rotor diameter. To further reduce drift, use on half of the length of the wingspan or rotor diameter at the edge of the field. x Applicators must only spray when wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less. x Applicators must not spray during temperature inversions. x For aerial applications, the release height must be no higher than 10 feet from the top of the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety. x For aerial applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with the most current version of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASAE S641).
Ground Boom Applications: x For ground boom applications, apply with the nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 4 feet from the target vegetation. x For ground applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with the most current version of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572). x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
8 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
Carfentrazone-ethyl is a contact herbicide. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegetation. Carfentrazone-ethyl is not volatile; however, mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants.
The interaction of equipment and weather related factors det ermine 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.
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 determine 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 Carfentrazone-ethyl 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.
9 2,4-D esters may volatize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.
Temperature Inversions – Do not apply carfentrazone-ethyl 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 – Carfentrazone-ethyl 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).
Susceptible Plants - Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to: cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
Other State and Local Requirements Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply at a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Read and follow all state and local regulations and restrictions regarding the aerial application of herbicides containing carfentrazone-ethyl and 2,4-D.

- Partial control only.
F6119 EC may be applied with fertilizer solutions. Up to 1/2 of the spray volume (by air or ground) may be liquid nitrogen fertilizer. See Mixing and Loading Instructions section for further information on application using fertilizer solutions as the carrier.
Tank Mixtures F6119 EC may be applied in tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides to enhance control of labeled weeds or to control weeds not listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers label directions for the companion herbicide.
Follow the most restrictive label requirements of the tank mixture components.
Application Precautions F6119 EC has provided good safety on grass species, however not all grass species and varieties have been evaluated. Check with local extension agents, specialists or FMC representatives to determine if your grass species has been evaluated. If tolerance is unknown, it is recommended to try F6119 EC on a small area prior to treating entire field. The application of F6119 EC may result in temporary crop response such as speckling or necrosis of the leaves.
Do not make applications if the foliage is wet from dew, rainfall or irrigation. Users should be aware of these inherent risks and accept these risks prior to application of F6119 EC.
21 Restrictions Do not graze dairy animals for 7 days following application.
Remove meat animals from treated pastures or rangeland 3 days before slaughter.
Pasture and Rangeland Do not cut forage for hay within 7 days of application.
Postemergence - For susceptible annual and biennial broadleaf weeds: Use 32 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai carfentrazone-ethyl/A and 0.98 lb ae 2,4-D/A) per application. Apply only twice per year. Do not apply more than 91 fl oz/A (0.092 Ib ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl/A and 2.79 lb ae 2,4-D/A) per year. The minimum retreatment interval is 30 days.
Sod Farm Apply only twice per year. Do not apply more than 32 fl oz/A (0.033 lb ai carfentrazone-ethyl/A and 0.98 lb ae 2,4-D/A) per application. The minimum retreatment interval is 21 days.
