Brand Name] to actively growing weeds as described in the Weed Control Recommendations for Row Crops section to get maximum
Page 4 of 18 page 4 of 18 weed control. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. Necrosis of leaves and young shoots occur within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions. •Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] is rainfast four (4) hours after application to most weed species; therefore, rainfall within four (4) hours may necessitate retreatment or may result in reduced weed control. •Applications should be made between dawn and 2 hours before sunset to avoid the possibility of reduced lambsquarters and velvetleaf control. •Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are under stress due to environmental conditions such as drought, cool temperatures or extended periods of cloudiness. •To maximize weed control, do not cultivate from 5 days before an application to 7 days after an application. ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS* Rotational crop planting intervals following application of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] are listed below. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in illegal residues in rotated crops. Rotational Crop Plant Back Interval (Minimum Rotational Crop Planting Interval from Last Application) Sweet Corn, Cotton May be planted at any time Root and Tuber Vegetables, Leafy Vegetables, Brassica Leafy Vegetables and Small Grains (barley, buckwheat, oats, rye, teosinte, triticale, and wheat) 70 Days All Other Crops 180 Days *See Application Directions for Potato Vine Desiccation for Rotational Crop Restrictions specifically after Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] applications to potatoes. Integrated Weed Management The active ingredient in Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] is glufosinate-ammonium, which is a glutamine synthetase inhibitor (Group 10). Integrated weed management guidelines promote an economically viable, environmentally sustainable and socially acceptable weed control program regardless of the herbicide(s) used. The highlights of a successful integrated weed management program include:
- Correctly identify weeds and look for trouble areas within field to identify resistance indicators.
- Rotate crops.
- Start the growing season with clean fields.
- Rotate herbicide modes of action by using multiple modes of action during the growing season and apply no more than two applications of a single herbicide mode of action to the same field in a two- year period. One method to accomplish this is to rotate herbicide tolerant trait systems.
- Apply listed rates of herbicides to actively growing weeds at the correct time with the right application techniques.
- Control any weeds that may have escaped the herbicide application.
- Thoroughly clean field equipment between fields. Contact your local agronomic advisor for more specific information on integrated weed management for your area. WEED CONTROL FOR ROW CROPS Rates in ounces of formulated product per acre for the control of weeds at selected heights are shown in the weed control tables. In weed populations with mixed species, apply at a rate needed for the species that requires the highest rate.

APPLICATION AND MIXING PROCEDURES Ground Application : Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] should be applied broadcast in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. Under dense weed/crop canopies, 20 to 40 gallons of water per acre should be used so that thorough spray coverage will be obtained. Apply Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] using nozzles and pressures that generate MEDIUM (about 250 to 350 microns) spray droplets category as reported by the nozzle manufacturer and in accordance to ASABE S 572. Do not use nozzles and pressures that result in COARSE sprays. FINE sprays should also be avoided to minimize spray drift risk. Boom height should be based on nozzle manufacturer recommendations. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide.
Page 7 of 18 page 7 of 18 Aerial Application : Poor coverage will result in reduced weed control. For optimal weed control, apply Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Apply Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] using nozzles and pressures that generate MEDIUM (about 300 to 400 microns) spray droplets category as reported by the nozzle manufacturer and in accordance to ASABE S 572 based upon the selected air speed. Do not use nozzles and pressures that result in COARSE sprays. FINE sprays should also be avoided to minimize spray drift risk. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide. COMPATIBILITY TESTING If Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] is to be mixed with pesticide products not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture prior to mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows:
- Place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1- quart jar.
- For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar.
- For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
- For each 16 fl oz of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
- After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten. Invert 10 times to mix.
- Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes, and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners are not compatible, do not use the mixture in a spray tank.
- After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section of this label. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Tank Mix : Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other products provided these other products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treated. The tank mix partner must be used in accordance with the label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Refer to the specific crop section for rate recommendations and other restrictions. Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] must be applied with properly calibrated and clean equipment. Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used (see Cleaning Instructions). Mix Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] with water to make a finished spray solution as follows:
- Fill the spray tank half full with water.
- Start agitation.
- If mixing with a flowable/wettable powder tank mix partner. Prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small amount of water. Add the slurry to the spray tank.
- Add the appropriate amount of ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank.
- If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid mix partner next.
- Complete filling the spray tank with water.
- Add the proper amount of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] and continue agitation.
- If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based antifoam agent. Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by flushing out the spray system lines before starting the crop application.
Page 8 of 18 page 8 of 18 If tank mix partners recommended on this label are added, maintain good agitation at all times until contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Before using Glufosinate 280 Herbicide, thoroughly clean bulk storage tank, refillable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and filter, particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used. Equipment should be thoroughly rinsed using a commercial tank cleaner. After using Glufosinate 280 Herbicide , triple rinse the spray equipment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before using for crops not labeled LibertyLink. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide disposal directions on this label. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Spray drift may result in injury to non target crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 MPH or during periods of temperature inversions. Do not apply when weather conditions, wind speed, or wind direction may cause spray drift to non-target areas. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. x All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers. x For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to application. Sensitive Areas : The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non- target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur. Aerial Drift Management: The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
- The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 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 Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 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 on next page). AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. Controlling Droplet Size: Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
Page 9 of 18 page 9 of 18 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 airstream 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 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 up 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. Applications should be avoided below 2 miles per hour 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. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Temperature Inversions: Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. 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.

Page 12 of 18 page 12 of 18 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON COTTON Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. This product may be applied post-emergence to non-LibertyLink cotton varieties or cultivars by using equipment designed to minimize contact of the spray with the cotton foliage. See the Application Methods on Non-LibertyLink Cotton section for selection of shielding equipment. Severe injury or death may result if the Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] contacts the foliage or stems of cotton NOT labeled as LibertyLink. APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the performance of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide. Refer to the Weed Control for Row Crops section of this label for selection of the proper rate dependent upon weed species present and size. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important. Refer to the Weed Control for Row Crops section of this label for selection of the proper rate dependent upon weed species present and size. In weed populations with mixed species, select the highest rate required to control all the species. Volunteer LibertyLink crop plants from the previous season will not be controlled by applications of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide. A repeat application of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] or tank mixes with a residual herbicide will be needed to control weeds that have not emerged at the time of application. See the Tank Mix section for Use on Cotton of this label to select suitable tank mix partners. RESTRICTIONS TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON COTTON x DO NOT apply Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] to cotton in Florida south of Tampa (Florida Route 60), or in Hawaii. x DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. x Refer to the Rotational Crop Restrictions section under the Product Information ” heading of this label for the appropriate rotational crop plant back intervals. APPLICATION METHODS TO NON-LIBERTYLINK COTTON Application of Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] to cotton varieties not labeled as LibertyLink requires the use of hooded spray equipment designed to minimize exposure of the spray to the cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto weeds, while shielding the cotton stand from contact. Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjusted to protect desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray. With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop from the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground. If the hoods are raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the cotton, causing damage or destruction of the crop. Herbicide rates and spray volumes are presented as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in proportion to the area actually treated. Use the following formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per planted (field) acre: Band width in inches X Broadcast RATE = Amount of banded product Row width in inches per acre needed per acre Band width in inches X Broadcast VOLUME = Amount of banded product Row width in inches per acre needed per acre
Page 13 of 18 page 13 of 18 POST-HARVEST Glufosinate 280 Herbicide [Alt. Brand Name] may be applied as a post-harvest burndown treatment to fields (after cotton harvest).
