If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
User Safety Recommendations Users should: • Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. • Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Remove PPE immediately after handling the product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards This pesticide is very toxic to algae and moderately 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 washwaters or rinsate.
Groundwater Advisory This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This product may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for weeks after application. A level, well- maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
Fish Advisory Statement: This product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms, particularly in clear, shallow water bodies that are adjacent to treated areas. Transport to water by runoff or spray drift of this product in areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark, should be avoided. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
Non-target Organism Advisory 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 minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: x Do not apply, drain, or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in location where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. x Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate crops other than wheat, triticale, and barley. x Do not apply to frozen ground as surface runoff may occur. x Do not apply to snow-covered ground. x Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. x Wheat, triticale, and barley varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides, FMC recommends that you first consult your state Experiment Station or University Extension Service for varietal sensitivity information of these crops to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use of F9007 35 WG to a small area as a test plot for varietal interactions prior to use on large scale areas. x Under certain conditions, such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after F9007 35 WG application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. x F9007 35 WG should not be applied to wheat, triticale, and barley that are stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage; as crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5 leaf stage. Severe winter stress, drought, disease or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury. x The combined treatment effects of F9007 35 WG post emergence preceded by preemergence wild oat herbicides may cause crop injury to spring wheat when crop stress (soil crusting, planting too deep, prolonged cold weather, or drought) causes poor seedling vigor. x In the Pacific Northwest, avoid making applications during winter months when weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe to prevent cold weather-related crop injury. x Do not apply to triticale, wheat, or barley or pastures undersown with legumes, as injury to the legume forage species may result. x To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion, do not apply to powdery dry or light sandy soils until they have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage, or other cultural practices. Injury to immediately adjacent crops may occur when treated soil is blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal grains or pasture/rangeland. x For ground applications applied under dry, dusty field conditions, control of weeds in wheel track areas may be reduced. The addition of 2,4-D or MCPA should improve weed control under these conditions.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT F9007 35 WG, which contains the active ingredients Carfentrazone-ethyl and Metsulfuron-methyl is a group 14 & 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: x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present. x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches). x Apply full rates of F9007 35 WG for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes. x Scout fields after application to detect weed esc apes or shifts in control of weed species. x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively. x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. x Contact your 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. x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact FMC Corporation at 1- 800-331-3148 x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 or 2 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. o 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: x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program. x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action. x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 and 2 herbicides. x Avoid making more than two applications of F9007 35 WG 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. x 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. x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness. x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds. x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT To better manage weed resistance when using F9007 35 WG, use a combination of tillage plus tank-mix partners or sequential herbicide applications that have a different mode of action than F9007 35 WG to control escaped weeds. Do not let weed escapes go to seed. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative herbicide recommendations available in your area. It is prudent to keep F9007 35 WG records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes.
PRODUCT INFORMATION F9007 35 WG HERBICIDE is for post emergent weed control in wheat, triticale, barley, grain sorghum, grasses, sod farms, pasture, rangeland, and for fallow land weed management. F9007 35 WG is formulated as a 35 WDG (Water Dispersible Granule) containing 0.35 lb ai/lb product. Consult local University, Extension, or Department of Agriculture specialists before use to insure F9007 35 WG is registered for use in your state. F9007 35 WG is not registered for use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saquache counties of Colorado.
Post emergent weed control with F9007 35 WG HERBICIDE is improved when adequate soil moisture is present at application. Maximum foliar uptake and weed control effects are seen when no rainfall or irrigation occurs within 24 hours after application. If rainfall or irrigation of at least 0.5 inches does not occur within 7 days after application, irrigation of at least 0.5 inches is recommended. Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches in height. F9007 35 WG is a contact herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days or weeks further necrosis, chlorosis, and death of the weed meristem occurs. Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the activity of F9007 35 WG . Under warm moist c onditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. Under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms may be delayed or reduced as weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible to absorption and translocation of F9007 35 WG.
F9007 35 WG 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, snow, or irrigation, or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Certain spray tank additives, cultural practices, soil conditions, or environmental conditions such as extremes in temperature or moisture may enhance the potential of herbicidal symptoms on the crop.
When applying F9007 35 WG alone for post emergent weed control, apply before the weeds have reached the maximum height listed in the appropriate weed control table(s) for the crop. Application after weeds have reached the liste d maximum height for control could result in commercially unacceptable weed control. For control of weeds by post applications larger than listed in the weed control table, and for wider spectrum, apply in tank-mixture with herbicide(s) that are labeled for control of targeted weeds. Un iform spray coverage is necessary for optimum performance.
F9007 35 WG can be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops for selective post emergence control of broadleaf weeds.
Product Measurement F9007 35 WG may be measured using the F9007 35 WG volumetric measuring cup. The degree of accuracy of this cup is subject to variability in precise measurement of the product. For more precise measurements, use scales calibrated in ounces.
Adjuvant Use Requirements Applications of F9007 35 WG must include either a nonionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate except when specified in the crop section of the label. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be used. If another herbicide is tank mixed with F9007 35 WG, select adjuvants recommended for use with both products.
Nonionic Surfactants (NIS) x Apply 0.06 to 0.50% v/v (1/2 to 4 pts. per 100 gallons of spray solution) – see Tank Mixtures section for additional information. x Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12. Exceptions: On all spring wheat and spring or winter barely use ½ to 1qt. per 100 gallons.
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO) x Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions. • Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer x Use 2 qts./acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/A of spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qts./acre UAN or 4 lb/A AMS under arid conditions. If using nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 1/2 pt. – 1 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution (0.06 – 0.25% v/v) based on local guidance. x Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
Special Adjuvant Types x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions. x In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality. Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
Tank Mixtures F9007 35 WG may be tank-mixed with other herbicides to control weeds not listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers' label directions for the companion herbicide. Follow the most restrictive use directions of the products used in the mixture. Tank mixtures of F9007 35 WG 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.
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 F9007 35 WG is a versatile herbicide utilizing several different application methods to achieve the desired results. If F9007 35 WG is being applied in standing crop situations, application methods and adjustments must be precise to prevent unfavorable crop response on the desirable green stem tissue, foliage, blooms, or fruit.
Spray volumes Ground applications should be made in a minimum of 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, concentration into crop whorls, and slower than calibrated ground speeds.
Aerial applications are allowed in some situations. Aerial treatments should be made with a minimum of 2 gallons of total spray per acre with a minimum VMD of 450 microns.
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 are allowed on labeled crops. To apply F9007 35 WG 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.
Shielded Sprayer applications may be utilized in some situations. Sprayers should be designed and operated so that the shield between the spray pattern and the crop will prevent the deposition of spray to green stem plant tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop.
Mixing and Loading Requirements Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean water. 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. When tankmixing with other products, F9007 35 WG should be mixed first in the spray tank. After the F9007 35 WG is thoroughly mixed, add the other products as specified on their label. Ensure the compatibility of other products with F9007 35 WG before mixing them together in the spray tank.
If the spray solution has to set overnight, maintain continuous agitation until all the spray solution has been used.
Use 50-mesh screens or larger.
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 F9007 35 WG 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 F9007 35 WG 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. 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 F9007 35 WG 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 F9007 35 WG 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.
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 F9007 35 WG USE RATE (lb ai/A) Low Spray Boom Buffer (ft.) High Spray Boom Buffer (ft.) 0.0438 20 33 0.0547 26 46
Conventional Boom and Nozzle Sprayers Use 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 avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of treated crop plants. Directed Sprayers For directed sprayers apply F9007 35 WG with drop nozzles or other spray equipment capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from sensitive plant parts. Apply F9007 35 WG up to the maximum rate for the target crop for the control of larger weed sizes or weeds not controlled with lower use rates. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants such as nonionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates or methylated seed oils.
Hooded Sprayers To apply F9007 35 WG 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.
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 2 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher aerial spray volumes are required for harvest aid and defoliation treatments. Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
F9007 35 WG HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegetation. F9007 35WG 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.
IMPORTANCE OF 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. MANDATORY 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 The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters. 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 ASABE Standard (ANSI/ASABE) S641 May 2018. x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ANSI/ASABE) S641May 2018. 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 applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ANSI/ASAE) S572.3 Feb 2020. 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 (ANSIASAE) S572.3 Feb 2020. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Boom-less Ground Applications: x Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ANSI/ASAE) S572.3 Feb 2020 for all applications. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not a pply during temperature inversions.
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 Droplet Size – Ground Boom x 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. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. BOOM LENGTH For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length no less than ¾ of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. SWATH ADJUSTMENT Swath adjustment distance must increase, with increasing, drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc). 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. 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-targetcrops). 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 is lowest between wind 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. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
Boom-less Ground Applications: x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. Handheld Technology Applications: x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

F9007 35 WG ROTATIONAL INTERVAL for AR, CO, ID, KS, LA, NE, NM, OK, OR, TX, UT, WA, Southern WY:
Before using F9007 35 WG, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do not treat all of your wheat, barley, fallow land, pasture, or rangeland acres at the same time.
Minimum Rotational Intervals Minimum rotational intervals are determined by the rate of breakdown of F9007 35 WG applied. F9007 35 WG breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase F9007 35 WG breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture will slow F9007 35 WG breakdown.
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored regularly when considering crop rotations.
The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting.
Soil pH Limitations F9007 35 WG should not be used on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, F9007 35 WG could remain in the soil for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of F9007 35 WG.
Checking Soil pH Before using F9007 35 WG , determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain a representative pH value for the test area, take several 0 inch to 4 inch samples from different areas of the field and analyze them separately. Consult local University Extension Service publications for additional information on soil sampling procedures.
BIOASSAY A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop not listed (See the Rotation Intervals tables), or if the soil pH is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not specified in the table, or if the minimum cumulative precipitation has not occurred since application.
Field Bioassay To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or crops you plan to grow the following year in fields previously treated with this product. Crop response to the bioassay will indicate if it is safe to rotate to the crop(s) grown in the test strips.
GRAZING There are no grazing restrictions on this product.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Treated vegetation may be cut for forage or hay. Coveralls, shoes plus socks, and chemical resistant gloves made of waterproof material must be worn if cutting within 12 hours of treatment.

*Specific Weed Problems
Tank mix partners must be registered for use in the geography intended for use on the labeled crop.
Annual marshelder, Burclover, Carolina horsenettle, Common cocklebur, Common milkweed, Common ragweed, Giant ragweed, Prickly lettuce, Sunflower, Western ragweed: Apply F9007 35 WG at 0.4 to 0.8 oz/A in a tank-mix combination with 8-32 oz of Grazon P+D, 4- 16 oz of Tordon 22K, 16-32 oz of 2,4-D, 4 to 32 oz of Banvel, 8-32 oz of Weedmaster, 8 oz of Remedy, or 0.35 oz of Amber where these products are labeled for improved post emergence control. F9007 35 WG plus Amber is commonly used in for suppression of Ragweed species in areas where phenoxy herbicides are restricted by local regulations.
Mustard Species (including Blue Mustard): For best results, apply F9007 35 WG tank mixtures with 2,4-D or MCPA post emergence to mustards, but before bloom.
Canada Thistle and Sowthistle: Apply F9007 35 WG plus surfactant or F9007 35 WG plus 2,4- D, clopyraild, flouroxypyr or MCPA in the spring after the majority of thistles have emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6” elongating stems) and actively growing. The application will inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with the crop. For spot applications to Canada Thistle in pasture and rangeland, apply as a foliar spray once plant is fully leafed. Apply to runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense stands, it is often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage. Corn Gromwell and Prostrate Knotwed: Apply F9007 35 WG plus surfactant when weeds are actively growing, are no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-D or MCPA with F9007 35 WG can improve results.
Kochia, Russian Thistle, and Prickly Lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur. For best results, use F9007 35 WG in a tank mix with Banvel and 2,4- D, or bromoxynil and 2,4-D (suggested rates 3/4 - 1 pt. Buctril + 1/4 - 3/8 lb active 2,4-D ester). F9007 35 WG should be applied in the spring when kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2" across and are actively growing (refer to the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Sunflower (common/volunteer): Apply either F9007 35 WG plus surfactant or F9007 35 WG plus 2,4-D or MCPA after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall and are actively growing.
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply F9007 35 WG plus 2,4-D or MCPA when plants have no more than 3 true leaves (not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay treatment until environmental conditions favors active weed growth.
Marestail: Apply F9007 35 WG as a broadcast application when marestail rosettes are no wider than 3 inches and actively growing. Where herbicide-resistant marestail populations exist, the addition of 2,4-D at 1 pt/A or dicamba at 8 oz/A may aid in control of resistant marestail.
Musk Thistle: Apply F9007 35 WG at 0.8 to 1.2 oz/A in the spring or early summer prior to flowering or in the fall after newly emerged plants have reached the rosette stage of growth. Fall applications should be made before the soil freezes.
Multiflora Rose: For best control, apply F9007 35 WG as a broadcast application when multiflora rose is less than 3' tall. For spot applications in pasture and rangeland, apply to green canes from leaf emergence through bloom but prior to total leaf emergence. Apply to runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense stands, it is often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
Blackberry and Dewberry: For spot applications in pasture and rangeland, apply as a foliar spray once plant is fully leafed. Apply to runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense stands it is often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
Pensacola bahiagrass control in established Bermudagrass pasture: Apply F9007 35 WG at 1.2 oz/A plus surfactant. Apply after green-up in the spring but before bahiagrass seedhead formation. Application should be made when moisture is sufficient to enhance grass growth. F9007 35 WG is very effective for removal of bahiagrass from bermudagrass pastures. In highly infested pastures, the use of F9007 35 WG can clear the areas of useful forage until the bermudagrass has time to cover the area. Therefore, F9007 35 WG treatments should be spread out over a period of years. Do not apply to an entire farm or ranch in one year. Fertilization (particularly with nitrogen and potassium) and/or replanting may accelerate the process of reestablishment of bermudagrass. Under heavy bahiagrass pressure, grazing pressure, or adverse weather conditions (heat and drought), bahiagrass regrowth may occur.
NOTE: F9007 35 WG should not be used for the control of common or Argentine bahiagrass. Also, F9007 35 WG should not be applied in liquid fertilizer solutions for Pensacola bahiagrass control, as poor control and/or regrowth may occur.
Serecia lespedeza: Apply F9007 35 WG at 1.2 oz/A plus a surfactant at 1 to 2 qt. per 100 gal. of total spray solution. For best results, make applications to serecia lespedeza up to full bloom stage of growth. NOTE: Do not make applications if drought conditions exist at intended time of application.
Wild Garlic: Apply 0.4 to 0.8 oz/A of F9007 35 WG in the early spring when wild garlic is less than 12" tall with 2" to 4" of new growth.
Woolly Croton: Apply 0.4 to 0.8 oz/A of F9007 35 WG in the late spring or early summer at pre- emergence up to 6 inches tall. Pasture and Rangeland TIMING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS F9007 35 WG may be used on some native grasses such as bluestems and grama, and on other pasture grasses such as bermudagrass, bluegrass, orchardgrass, bromegrass, fescue and timothy. Specific application information on several of these pasture grasses follows:
Pasture Grass Minimum time from stand establishment of Pasture Grass to F9007 35 WG application: Bermudagrass 2 months Bluegrass, bromegrassand orchardgrass 6 months Timothy 12 months Fescue 24 months
Fescue Precautions: Note that F9007 35 WG may temporarily stunt fescue, cause it to turn yellow, or cause seedhead suppression. To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions: x tank mix F9007 35 WG with 2,4-D x use the lowest labeled rate for target weeds x use surfactant at 1/2 to 1 pt. per 100 gal. of spray solution (1/16 to 1/8% v/v) x make application later in the spring after the new growth is 5 to 6 inches tall, or in the fall x do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier.
The first cutting yields may be reduced due to seedhead suppression resulting from treatment with F9007 35 WG.
Timothy Precautions: Timothy should be at least 6" tall at application and be actively growing. Applications of F9007 35 WG to timothy under any other conditions may cause crop yellowing and/or stunting. To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions: x tank mix F9007 35 WG with 2,4-D at the specified 2,4-D rate for Timothy Grass x use the lowest labeled rate for target weeds x use surfactant at 1/2 pt. per 100 gal. (1/16% v/v) x make applications in the late summer or fall x do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier.
Ryegrass Pastures (Italian or perennial): x Do not apply F9007 35 WG to ryegrass as injury or loss of pasture plant stand may result.
Other Pastures: Varieties and species of pasture grasses differ in their tolerance to herbicides. When using F9007 35 WG on a particular grass for the first time, limit use to one container. If no injury occurs throughout the season, larger acreage may be treated the following season. Broadleaf pasture species, such as alfalfa and clover are highly sensitive to F9007 35 WG and will be severely stunted or injured by F9007 35 WG.
SMALL GRAINS Barley, Triticale, and Wheat TIMING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Weed Control Use Apply F9007 35 WG alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to control emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply to winter wheat, spring wheat, barley, and triticale in all tillage systems. For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 4 inches across. For dense weed pressure, use tank mix combinations. Coverage is essential for good control.
Application Timing – Weed Control Apply 0.4 oz/A F9007 35 WG to wheat, barley or triticale only once per use season. Dryland Winter Wheat Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before boot once per use season. Dryland Barley, Spring Wheat, and Triticale (Except Durum type or Wampum Variety) Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage up to jointing stage once per use season. Durum Type and Wampum Variety Spring Wheat Make applications after the crop is tillering up to jointing stage once per use season. Applications to Durum and Wampum varieties should be made in combination with 2,4-D. Irrigated Wheat and Barley Make applications after the crop begins tillering up to jointing. First post-treatment irrigation should be delayed for at least 3 days after treatment and should not exceed 1 in. of water.
Do not apply during boot or early heading, as crop injury may result.
TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS (WHEAT, BARLEY AND TRITICALE) Read and follow all manufacturers’ instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or insecticides. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix that product with F9007 35 WG. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any companion products before using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive labeling. F9007 35 WG may be tank mixed with other recommended and registered herbicides to control weeds suppressed, resistant, or not controlled with F9007 35 WG alone.
Mixture with 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester) F9007 35 WG can be used as a tank mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA (ester formulations provide best results) herbicides after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 0.4 oz/A. of F9007 35 WG : add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 1/4 to 1/2 lb active ingredient. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 qt. per 100 gallons of spray solution; however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Apply F9007 35 WG plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf stage but before boot (with Durum and Wampum varieties do not apply before tillering). Apply F9007 35 WG plus 2,4-D after tillering (refer to appropriate 2,4-D manufacturer’s label), but before boot.
Mixture with Dicamba For best results, apply F9007 35 WG at 0.4 oz/A: add 1/16 to 1/8 lb ai/A of dicamba. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 qt. per 100 gallons of spray solution: however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Also refer to dicamba labels for application timing and restrictions.
Mixture with 2,4-D (amine or ester) and Dicamba F9007 35 WG may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba and 2,4-D. Observe all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions on labels of all products used. Make applications at 0.4 oz of F9007 35 WG + 1/16-1/12 lb active ingredient dicamba + 4-6 oz. active 2,4-D Ester or Amine per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Add 1-2
pts. of surfactant to the 3 way mixture, where necessary depending on conditions and infestation. Use of additional surfactant may not be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester phenoxy formulations. Consult the specific 2,4-D or dicamba label, or local recommendations for more information. Apply the 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In Spring Wheat (including Durum wheat) apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 5-leaf stage.
Mixture with Bromoxynil products (such as Buctril or Bronate) F9007 35 WG may be tank mixed with bromoxynil* containing herbicides registered for use on wheat, barley, or fallow land. For best results, add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3 to 6 oz ai/A (such as Bronate or Buctril at 3/4 - 1 1/2 pts. per acre).
Mixture with Starane For improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall), Russian thistle, mustard species and wild buckwheat, F9007 35 WG may be tank mixed with 1/3 to 1 1/3 pts. per acre of Starane.
Mixture with Starane + Salvo For improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall) Russian thistle, mustard species and wild buckwheat, F9007 35 WG may be tank mixed with recommended rates of Starane + Salvo.
Mixture with Express This product may be tank-mixed with Express based on local recommendations and label instructions, precautions, and warnings from all herbicide labels in the mixture.

Mixture with Maverick F9007 35 WG can be tank mixed with Maverick herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
Mixture with Stinger, Curtail, Curtail M, or Widematch F9007 35 WG can be tank mixed with Stinger, Curtail, or Curtail M herbicides for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
Mixture with Grass Control Products – Recommendations and Precautions Tank mixtures of F9007 35 WG and grass control products may result in poor grass control. FMC recommends that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or FMC representative as to the potential for antagonism before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of F9007 35 WG and the grass product to a small area. Do not tank mix F9007 35 WG with Hoelon3EC, as grass control may be reduced.
Mixture with Puma F9007 35 WG can be tank mixed with Puma herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
Mixture with Everest F9007 35 WG can be tank mixed with Everest herbicide for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
Mixture with Insecticides and Fungicides F9007 35 WG may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides and fungicides registered for use on Barley, Triticale, and Wheat. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2 – 4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential applications of F9007 35 WG with organophosphate insecticides (such as chlorpyrifos) may result in temporary crop yellowing or, in some cases severe crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to or soon after application. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas. Do not use F9007 35 WG with Malathion, as crop injury will result.

HARVEST AID USE (Barley, Wheat, and Triticale) TIMING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
F9007 35 WG Harvest Aid Use Rate Apply F9007 35 WG at 0.4 oz product (0.0088 lb ai) per acre, but not to exceed maximum labeled rates. Refer to the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE F9007 35 WG USE RATE CHART and the PREHARVEST INTERVAL charts for additional application information. If treatments of F9007 35 WG have been made to the crop earlier, that rate of F9007 35 WG must be considered in
determining the maximum use rate as a harvest aid treatment. Apply F9007 35 WG alone or in combination with 2,4-D or Glyphosate to aid in dry-down of many broadleaf weeds to aid in grain harvest.
Application Timing – Harvest Aid Use (Barley, Wheat, and Triticale) Apply F9007 35 WG to barley, wheat, and triticale to defoliate and/or desiccate troublesome broadleaf weeds such as morningglories, pigweeds and velvetleaf that may be present at harvest. Apply F9007 35 WG alone or as a tank mixture with other harvest aids.
Applications may be made from when the crop has reached hard dough stage up to 10 days prior to harvest.
Applications shall 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 and 2 gallons per acre for aerial application. Adjuvant Requirements A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC) 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). A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons 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.
Tank Mixtures for Harvest Aid Use A tank mix of F9007 35 WG plus 2,4-D and surfactant, or Glyphosate will assist in dry down of many broadleaf weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest utility and grain quality. Post emergence application should be made to actively growing weeds after the crop is in the hard dough stage. If weeds are not dry within 10 days after application, delay harvest until weeds is dry.
For information on species controlled with F9007 35 WG alone or in specific mixtures with other products, see the specific Weeds Controlled chart contained within this label.
Mixture with 2,4-D Use 0.4 oz F9007 35 WG plus 1/4 to 1/2 lb ai 2,4-D per acre on moderate weed infestations; higher rates of 2,4-D may be used on large weeds if permitted by the 2,4-D brand labeling. Include 1 to 2 qt. surfactant per 100 gallons of spray solution. In areas where 2,4-D use is restricted, apply F9007 35 WG with surfactant only; however, this treatment may be less effective. Mixture with Glyphosate Use 0.4 oz F9007 35 WG plus the locally labeled rate of Glyphosate (see Glyphosate label for maximum seasonal rate). F9007 35 WG requires the use of an adjuvant for optimum activity – Consult the Glyphosate label or local recommendations for the amount of adjuvant to include.
Restrictions and Precautions If applied as a tank mixture, refer to the other product’s label for restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.

For specific mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instruction s under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section. Refer to the other product’s label for restrictions on tankmixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping restrictions. Sprayers shall be adjusted and operated to avoid the application of excessive herbicide rates directly over the row and/or into the whorl of the sorghum plant.
Leaf speckling can occur when F9007 35 WG is used with certain formulations of crop protection products and adjuvants. Refer to the Tank Mixtures and Adjuvant Use Requirements sections under Product Information.
Broadcast applications of F9007 35 WG to sorghum with wet foliage or application during periods of adverse environmental conditions such as cool, cloudy, wet, or high humidity may cause
increased crop response. For additional information on crop response, refer to the Product Information section of the F9007 35 WG label.
Weeds Controlled with a tank mix of F9007 35 WG plus 2,4-D amine are: Velvetleaf, Puncturevine, and Pigweed spp. except where resistant species exist, such as ALS resistant pigweeds.
Directed Application Use drop nozzles if applications are to be made under adverse conditions such as cool, cloudy, wet, or high humidity environments to limit the amount of product deposited onto sorghum leaves and/or into the sorghum whorl.
HOODED SPRAYER APPLICATION
Apply F9007 35 WG to the row middles of emerged crops using hooded sprayers in accordance with the following specific use information.
Apply F9007 35 WG with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of labeled 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.
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.
FALLOW LAND SYSTEMS
Use Rate Apply F9007 35 WG at 0.4 oz/A product (0.0088 lb ai).
Application Timing – Weed Control Apply F9007 35 WG 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. Apply on emerged weeds that are actively growing in conditions that are conducive to F9007 35 WG adsorption and translocation throughout the plant. For optimum performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3 inches across. Utilize adjuvants and adequate spray volumes to insure optimum plant cuticle penetration and foliar coverage of weeds. Coverage is essential for good weed control.
Adjuvant Requirements A nonionic surfactant or 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 lb/A in addition to the selected NIS, MSO or COC is allowed.
Tank Mixtures in Fallow Land Use Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad- spectrum burndown herbicide such as glyphosate, glufosinate or paraquat. When tankmixing F9007 35 WG with other products, be sure the F9007 35 WG is added to the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section.
