Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash-water, and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. GROUND WATER ADVISORY Metolachlor is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Fomesafen is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. SURFACE WATER ADVISORY Metolachlor has the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift. Under some conditions, metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, and areas overlaying extremely shallow ground water, 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 overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 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. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides.

The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted- entry interval (REI) of 24 hours. Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. For early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, wear: • Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants • Chemical-resistant gloves • Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks • Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure • Protective eyewear Failure to follow the directions for use and precautions on this label may result in poor weed control, crop injury, or illegal residues. Note: not for sale, use, or distribution in Nassau county or Suffolk county, New York. RESISTANCE When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally- occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action. To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to

change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area. PRODUCT INFORMATION STATEMENT Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control or partial control of certain grass, broadleaf, and sedge weeds in soybean and cotton. STATEMENT Herbicide may be applied in soybean as a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence, treatment. In cotton, STATEMENT may be applied in post-directed application. STATEMENT Herbicide is a mixture of the active ingredients fomesafen and metolachlor. Fomesafen is a protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor (Group 14 mode of action) leading to cellular membrane disruption and plant death. Metolachlor is a biosynthesis inhibitor (Group 15 mode of action) preventing cell division in emerging weeds. APPLICATION AND MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean the spray equipment before using STATEMENT Herbicide. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray mixture. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. Application in Water or Fluid Fertilizers STATEMENT Herbicide Alone: Add 1/3 of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add STATEMENT Herbicide into the spray tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water or fluid fertilizer. Begin application of the spray solution after the STATEMENT Herbicide has completely dispersed in the water or fluid fertilizer. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. STATEMENT Herbicide + Tank Mixtures: Add 1/3 of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids such as STATEMENT Herbicide, and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient

agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. Notes: (1) When using STATEMENT Herbicide in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank and mixed with plain water before any other tank mix partner, including STATEMENT Herbicide. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank. (2) Water-soluble packets will not properly dissolve in most spray solutions that contain fluid fertilizers. If using STATEMENT Herbicide in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. STATEMENT Herbicide is compatible with most common tank mix partners. However, the physical compatibility of STATEMENT Herbicide with tank mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of STATEMENT Herbicide with other products, use a jar test, as described below. Note: Do not use nitrogen solutions or fluid fertilizers as a complete or partial spray carrier when applying STATEMENT Herbicide as a postemergence application to soybean as these combinations may cause crop injury. Compatibility Test A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of STATEMENT Herbicide with other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal/A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray for preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence applications only. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer and pesticides. Test Procedure

1. Add 1.0 pint of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the tank mix will be applied.
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved f9r this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pints/100 gals, spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on recommended label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry pesticides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the 8

spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (a) Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture. 5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section in this label. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Activation A small amount of soil moisture is required to activate STATEMENT Herbicide following application. In areas of low rainfall, a preemergence application to dry soil should be followed with light irrigation of 0.25-0.5 inch of water. As with many surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil texture. If rainfall or irrigation within 7-10 days does not occur, cultivate uniformly with shallow tilling equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage the crop. Ground Spray Equipment: Apply STATEMENT Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gal. of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. Calibrate the sprayer before use at the beginning of the season. For STATEMENT Herbicide tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. Band Applications Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula: Band width in inches x broadcast rate = amount needed Row width in inches per acre per acre of field Chemigation: Do not apply STATEMENT Herbicide through any type of irrigation system. Aerial Application (Soybean): Apply STATEMENT Herbicide in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gal./A. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft. above the soybean with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. Aerial Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.

The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines 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 drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section: Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information 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 and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size • Volume -Use high-flow-rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure -Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. 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 -Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. 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. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some 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 Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of 10

the largest plants, 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 applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 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 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 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 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. Sensitive Areas STATEMENT Herbicide should be applied only when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. Cleaning Equipment After Application Because some crops, other than soybean, are sensitive to low rates of STATEMENT Herbicide, special attention must be given to cleaning equipment 11

before spraying a crop other than those registered for use and on this label. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using the following procedure:

1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of one gal. of household ammonia per 50 gal. of water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used as well. Consult your Cheminova representative for a partial listing of approved tank cleaners and more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners such as Clorox®.
3. When available, use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly re-circulate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution.
5. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
6. Repeat steps 2-5
7. Remove nozzles, screens, diaphragm check valves and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

• Partial control means significant activity, but not always at a level considered acceptable for commercial weed control. COTTON Post-Directed Application Apply STATEMENT Herbicide in emerged cotton as a post-directed treatment 18

using precision post-directed, hooded or shielded application equipment to provide complete coverage of emerged weeds. Apply STATEMENT Herbicide at 2-2.45 pints per acre. STATEMENT Herbicide will control or partially control certain emerged broadleaf weeds such as hemp sesbania, waterhemp, pigweed species, and morningglory species. Apply when broadleaf weeds have 2 to 4 true leaves in a minimum of 10 gallons spray solution per acre. STATEMENT Herbicide should be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v or crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v to emerged weeds if applied alone or in a tank mix with products that do not contain a built-in adjuvant. Do not add liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) to STATEMENT Herbicide or STATEMENT Herbicide tank mixes in cotton. Refer to Table 2 for weeds controlled or partially controlled with soil activation of STATEMENT Herbicide if rainfall or irrigation occurs within 7 to 10 days after application. To broaden the weed control spectrum in cotton, STATEMENT Herbicide may be tank mixed with other labeled post-directed herbicides such as Caparol®, Direx®, Envoke®, Karmex®, Layby Pro, MSMA, Suprend®, or glyphosate (such as Glyfos® X-TRA for use in glyphosate-resistant cotton only). Refer to the tank-mix partner label for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates, and a list of weeds controlled. Cotton foliage is not tolerant to STATEMENT Herbicide applications. Avoid contact to cotton foliage and stems that are not fully barked as unacceptable injury will occur. Application equipment should be calibrated (spray pressure, nozzle type and configuration, and orifice size) to avoid fine spray droplets contacting green cotton stems and foliage. Post-Directed Application Timing in Cotton STATEMENT Herbicide may be applied to cotton at least 6 inches in height through layby as a post-directed application. All post-directed applications should avoid spray contact with any green non-barked parts of the cotton plant or foliage as unacceptable injury will occur. Follow the application timing recommendations below for post-directed applications in cotton. Shielded and Hooded Applications Make a precision post-directed STATEMENT Herbicide application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with the cotton stem or foliage when cotton is at least 6 inches in height to avoid cotton injury. Use only hooded or shielded spray equipment to apply STATEMENT Herbicide in cotton that is at least 6 inches in height. Adjust nozzles to provide full coverage of emerged target weeds. Layby Applications Make a post-directed STATEMENT Herbicide application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with any non-barked portion of the cotton plant or foliage. Use precision post-directed equipment or hooded or shielded sprayers on cotton that has developed a minimum of 4 inches of brown bark through layby. Application equipment should be configured to provide full coverage of 19

z emerged target weeds. Restrictions—Cotton • Do not apply STATEMENT Herbicide later than 80 days before harvest. • Do not apply more than 2.45 pints per acre of STATEMENT Herbicide in any year and also adhere to the maximum rate that may be applied in each geographic area. • Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock. SOYBEAN STATEMENT HERBICIDE FOUNDATION TREATMENT FOR PLANNED TWO- PASS WEED CONTROL PROGRAMS IN ALL TILLAGE SYSTEMS STATEMENT Herbicide at 2 pints/A may be applied as a preemergence application on all soils to reduce competition from weeds for a period of up to 5 weeks when followed by a planned postemergence herbicide application in conventional and glyphosate-resistant soybean. Refer to Table 2 for weeds controlled or partially controlled. For the postemergence herbicide application, consult the selected postemergence herbicide manufacturer's label for weeds controlled, optimum weed size, application rate, additional use directions, precautions, and limitations before use. Preplant Surface Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage soybean systems only, STATEMENT Herbicide may be applied at 2 pints/A prior to soybean planting. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply STATEMENT Herbicide in a tank mixture with a burndown herbicide (such as Glyfos X-TRA). To the extent possible, minimize movement of treated soil out of the row or of untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished. Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for soybean and weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field, including glyphosate (such as Glyfos X-TRA) brands (for use on glyphosate-resistant soybean only) or Liberty®/lgnite® for use on LibertyLink® soybean only. Preplant Incorporated: Apply STATEMENT Herbicide at 2 pints/A in conventional-tillage systems where incorporation into the top 2 inches of soil occurs within 7 days after application using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar implement capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for soybean and weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field, including glyphosate (for example, Glyfos X-TRA) brands (for use on glyphosate-resistant soybean 20

only) or Liberty/Ignite for use on LibertyLink soybean only. Preemergence: Apply STATEMENT Herbicide at 2 pints/A during planting (behind the planter), or after planting, but before weeds or soybean emerge in conventional, conservation, or no-till systems. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply STATEMENT Herbicide in a tank mixture with a burndown herbicide (such as Glyfos X-TRA). Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for soybean and weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field, including glyphosate (such as Glyfos X-TRA) brands (for use on glyphosate-resistant soybean only) or Liberty/Ignite for use on LibertyLink soybean only. STATEMENT HERBICIDE IN CONVENTIONAL-TILLAGE SYSTEMS For conventional-tillage systems, STATEMENT Herbicide may be applied preplant incorporated or preemergence for control or partial control of weeds listed in Table 2. STATEMENT Herbicide may be applied alone or in tank mix or followed sequentially with postemergence herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum or control newly emerged weeds. Refer to Table 3 for STATEMENT Herbicide rates. Preplant Incorporated: Incorporate STATEMENT Herbicide uniformly into the top 2 inches of soil within 7 days after application and before planting using a disk, field cultivator, rolling cultivator, or similar implement. Apply STATEMENT Herbicide preplant incorporated if furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. Preemergence Application: Apply during planting (behind the planter), or after planting, but before weeds or soybean emerge. Dry weather following preemergence application of STATEMENT Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. If weeds develop, cultivate uniformly with shallow tilling equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage soybean.
