ENGINEERING CONTROLS
|
||
Handlers must use closed mixing loading systems during mixing/loading liquids for aerial applications to fallow
|
||
land and high-acreage field crops.
|
||
|
||
Handlers must use closed mixing loading systems during mixing and loading liquids for aerial application to
|
||
barley, flax, oats, pasture and rangeland grass, rye, triticale, wheat, and grass grown for seed.
|
||
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed
|
||
in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40CFR 170.240(d)4-6)], the handler PPE
|
||
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn
|
||
because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and
|
||
other handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or
|
||
equipment breakdown.
|
||
|
||
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40
|
||
CFR 170.240(d) (4-6)].
|
||
|
||
If you will handle a total of 60 gallons or more of this product per day, you must use a mechanical transfer system
|
||
for all mixing and loading operations. If this product is packaged in a 30-gallon drum, you must use a mechanical
|
||
transfer system which terminates in a drip-free hard coupling which may be used only with a spray or mix tank
|
||
which has been fitted with a compatible coupling. If you do not presently own or have access to a mechanical
|
||
transfer system with this type of coupling, contact your dealer for information on how to obtain such a system or
|
||
to modify your present system
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
When using a mechanical transfer system, do not remove or disconnect the pump or probe from the container
|
||
until the container has been emptied and rinsed. The pump or probe system must be used to rinse the empty
|
||
container and to transfer the rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank.
|
||
|
||
Application from a tractor with a completely enclosed cab or aerial application is required whenever this product
|
||
is applied to 360 or more acres in a day. The closed systems and enclosed cabs must be used in a manner that
|
||
meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
|
||
170.240 (d) (4-6)]. The handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
|
||
To reduce exposure to residues, wash the spray rig, tractor, and all other equipment used to handle or apply
|
||
this product with water daily or before using the equipment for any other purpose.

||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic plants. Do not apply directly to water, or to
|
||
areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark. Do not
|
||
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous
|
||
to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
|
||
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. This pesticide has properties and
|
||
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this product in areas where
|
||
soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
MCPA is known to leach through soil into groundwater 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 STATEMENT: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff
|
||
of rainwater. 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 several months or more 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 MCPA from runoff
|
||
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
|
||
is expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely
|
||
impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated
|
||
site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize
|
||
spray drift.

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
USE INFORMATION
|
||
VENDETTA is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing the equivalent of 2 pounds per gallon of
|
||
bromoxynil and 2 pounds per gallon of 2-ethylhexyl ester of MCPA.
|
||
|
||
VENDETTA is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting small
|
||
grains (wheat, barley, oats, rye), flax, conservation reserve program areas, and grass grown for seed or sod
|
||
production. Optimum weed control is obtained when VENDETTA is applied to actively growing weed seedlings.
|
||
VENDETTA is primarily a contact herbicide; therefore, thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for
|
||
optimum control.
|
||
|
||
VENDETTA has little residual activity. Therefore, subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial
|
||
treatment. Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain
|
||
crops or short-straw varieties, for example Yecora Rojo wheat, may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to
|
||
shade the subsequent flushes of weeds.
|
||
|
||
Occasional transitory leaf burn may occur. The temporary leaf burn is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer.
|
||
Because the activity of VENDETTA is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting
|
||
effect. Frequency and amount of leaf burn may be greater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to
|
||
cold evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that caused by hail, sleet or insect feeding. To reduce
|
||
the potential for temporary leaf burn, applications should be made to dry foliage in the recommended spray
|
||
volumes per acre when weather conditions are not extreme.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANT: VENDETTA contains low volatile 2-ethylhexyl ester of MCPA. At high air or ground surface
|
||
temperatures, vapors from VENDETTA may cause injury to susceptible plants. This fact should be considered
|
||
when applying VENDETTA.
|
||
|
||
|
||
MIXING, LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
2.5 Gallon Containers
|
||
Special care must be taken in mixing and loading VENDETTA. Hands should be placed on the container in such
|
||
a way as to avoid possible drip or splash.
|
||
|
||
30 Gallon and Bulk Containers
|
||
If you will handle a total of 60 gallons or more of VENDETTA per day, you must use a mechanical transfer
|
||
system for all mixing and loading operations. If VENDETTA is packaged in a 30 gallon drum, you must use a
|
||
mechanical transfer system which terminates in a drip-free hard coupling which may be used only with a spray
|
||
or mix tank which has been fitted with a compatible coupling. If you do not presently own or have access to a
|
||
mechanical transfer system with this type of coupling, contact your dealer for information on how to obtain such
|
||
a system or to modify your present system.
|
||
|
||
When using a mechanical transfer system, do not remove or disconnect the pump or probe from the container
|
||
until the container has been emptied and rinsed. The pump or probe system must be used to rinse the empty
|
||
container and to transfer the rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank.
|
||
|
||
VENDETTA ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the
|
||
recommended amount of VENDETTA. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient
|
||
agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXTURES: VENDETTA can be applied in tank mixture with many other herbicides and insecticides
|
||
registered for use on approved crops. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products tank-
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
|
||
mixed with VENDETTA, are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions
|
||
and precautionary language of the products in the mixture. Refer to the specific crop section for rate
|
||
recommendations and other restrictions.
|
||
|
||
To apply VENDETTA in mixture with another product, fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and begin
|
||
agitation. If tank mixing with wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable or dry flowable products, add the powder
|
||
or flowable product first. After the other herbicide is thoroughly mixed with water, add the specified amount of
|
||
VENDETTA, and add water to the spray tank to the desired level. If tank mixing with other product types, add
|
||
VENDETTA first before adding the other product. Always mix one product in water thoroughly before adding
|
||
another product or compatibility problems may occur. Never mix two products together without first mixing in
|
||
water.
|
||
|
||
Maintain sufficient agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. If spray
|
||
mixture is allowed to remain without agitation for short periods of time, be sure to agitate until uniformly mixed
|
||
before application.
|
||
|
||
A compatibility test is recommended to ensure satisfactory spray preparation. To test for compatibility, use a
|
||
small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 quart) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as
|
||
the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying.
|
||
Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5 to 15 minutes after mixing.
|
||
|
||
To ensure maximum crop safety and weed control, follow the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and
|
||
precautions of all the products used in the tank mixture with VENDETTA.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPRAYABLE LIQUID FERTILIZERS AND SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
VENDETTA can be applied in combination with sprayable liquid fertilizer or spray additives such as surfactants
|
||
or crop oil concentrate. When tank mixing with liquid fertilizer always add the fertilizer to the spray tank first and
|
||
agitate thoroughly before adding VENDETTA. Always predetermine the compatibility with liquid fertilizer by
|
||
mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Agitation must be maintained during filling and application
|
||
operations to ensure that VENDETTA is evenly mixed with the fertilizer. Leaf burn may occur when VENDETTA
|
||
is applied with liquid fertilizer, but new leaves are not adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANT: Fertilizers and spray additives can increase foliage leaf burn when applied with VENDETTA. Do
|
||
not apply fertilizers or spray additives with VENDETTA if leaf burn is a major concern due to environmental
|
||
conditions, crop or variety sensitivity to VENDETTA.
|
||
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
APPLICATION BY CHEMIGATION must be done by fixed pipe, overhead sprinkler systems or hand-moved
|
||
pipe. If hand-moved pipe is used for chemigation, the pipe must not be handled in any way until 24 hours after
|
||
chemigation has been completed and residues have been flushed from the system. When applying by
|
||
chemigation, no person may enter the application site unless in an enclosed vehicle.
|
||
|
||
VENDETTA can be applied to registered use areas by ground, aerial and sprinkler irrigation equipment.
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
• Use a standard herbicide boom sprayer that provides uniform and accurate application. Sprayer must be
|
||
equipped with screens no finer than 50 mesh in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers.
|
||
|
||
• Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage. For optimum
|
||
spray distribution and thorough coverage use of flat fan nozzles (maximum tip size 8008) with a spray pressure
|
||
of 40-60 psi are recommended.
|
||
|
||
• Other nozzle types and lower spray pressures that produce coarse spray droplets may not provide adequate
|
||
coverage of the weeds to ensure optimum control. Raindrop
|
||
® nozzles and flood nozzles are not recommended
|
||
as weed control with VENDETTA may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
• A spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray coverage. A minimum
|
||
of 5 GPA with a minimum spray pressure of 50 psi and a maximum ground speed of 10 mph may be used with
|
||
higher speed, low volume ground application if ground terrain, crop and weed density allow effective spray
|
||
distribution. When using higher speed equipment, a maximum ground speed of 10 mph is suggested if field
|
||
conditions cause excessive boom movement during application which results in poor spray coverage. Ground
|
||
applications made when dry, dusty field conditions exist may provide reduced weed control in wheel track
|
||
areas. Applications using less than 10 gallons per acre may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
|
||
• When weed infestations are heavy, use of higher spray volumes and spray pressure will be helpful in obtaining
|
||
uniform weed coverage. If you are unsure of the infestation level or size of crop, consult your local extension
|
||
service.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
• Use orifice discs, cores and nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for optimum spray distribution
|
||
and maximum coverage. A minimum spray volume of 5 GPA and a maximum pressure of 40 psi are
|
||
recommended. A minimum spray volume of 3 gallons per acre may be used if crop canopy and weed density
|
||
allow adequate spray coverage. Aerial applications using less than 5 gallons of spray volume per acre may
|
||
result in reduced weed control.
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
• VENDETTA can be applied through chemigation systems to small grains and grasses grown for seed or sod
|
||
production.
|
||
|
||
• Apply VENDETTA through center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid set or hand move irrigation
|
||
systems only. If hand moved pipe is used for chemigation, the pipe must not be handled in any way until 24
|
||
hours after chemigation have been completed and residues have been flushed from the system.
|
||
When applying by chemigation, no person may enter the application site unless in an enclosed vehicle.
|
||
Do not apply VENDETTA through any other type of chemigation system.
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately
|
||
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
|
||
|
||
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
|
||
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve
|
||
located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being
|
||
withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
|
||
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
|
||
when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
|
||
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump
|
||
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump)
|
||
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
|
||
with a system interlock.
|
||
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
|
||
8. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank when applying VENDETTA.
|
||
|
||
9. VENDETTA should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application with center pivot and
|
||
continuous lateral move systems. Application of VENDETTA should be made during the last 30-45 minutes of
|
||
the irrigation set with other overhead sprinkler systems.
|
||
|
||
10. For best performance, set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
11. Remove scale, pesticide residues and other foreign matter from the supply tank and entire injector system.
|
||
Flush with clean water.
|
||
|
||
12. If VENDETTA is diluted in the supply tank, fill the tank with half of the water amount desired, add VENDETTA
|
||
and then add remaining water amount with agitation. Always dilute with at least 4 parts water to 1-part
|
||
VENDETTA.
|
||
|
||
13. Start the sprinklers and then inject VENDETTA into the irrigation line. VENDETTA should be injected with
|
||
a positive displacement pump into the main line at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate
|
||
mixing. Refer to VENDETTA label for detailed information on application rates and timings.
|
||
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION USER PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Application of more than 0.5 inch/acre of irrigation water may result in decreased product performance on certain
|
||
soils.
|
||
Do not apply when conditions favor drift, when system connections or fittings leak, or when nozzles do not
|
||
provide uniform distribution.
|
||
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all the lines and nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution
|
||
of treated water.
|
||
Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system.
|
||
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
|
||
manufacturers or other experts.
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operations, or under the supervision
|
||
of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
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 use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Nozzles must be oriented, so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
|
||
ground or crop canopy. For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 3 feet
|
||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE S572) for all applications.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
|
||
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
|
||
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
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:
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft:
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||

|
||
PLANT BACK INTERVAL
|
||
For crops on this label, or crops with an established MCPA tolerance, there is a 30-day plant back interval (PBI).
|
||
For crops not listed on a MCPA label, or on crops for which no residue tolerances for MCPA have been
|
||
established, a 60-day plant back interval must be observed.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Some weeds are known to develop resistance to herbicides that have been used repeatedly. While the
|
||
development of herbicide resistance is well understood, it is not easily predicted. Therefore, herbicides should
|
||
be used in conjunction with the resistance management strategies in the area.
|
||
|
||
VENDETTA contains a Group 4 and a Group 6 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
|
||
naturally resistant to Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 4 and
|
||
Group 6 herbicides may eventually dominate the weed population if other Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides are
|
||
repeatedly used in successive years or in the same field as the primary method of control for targeted species.
|
||
VENDETTA should be rotated with products that do not contain MCPA or bromoxynil to minimize selection
|
||
pressure.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of VENDETTA or other Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides within a growing season
|
||
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a
|
||
field.
|
||
x Apply VENDETTA at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on
|
||
resistance in target weed species is available, us e 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Scout fields prior to herbicide application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to
|
||
determine if the intended application will be effective.
|
||
x Scout fields 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; and (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.
|
||
x 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, and/or use non-chemical means to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing
|
||
further seed production.
