DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specifically recommended by DuPont. Do not apply this product through any type ofirrigation system. Do not lIse flood irrigation to apply or incorporate FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp). FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) is not for sale or use in Idaho, Oregolll, Washington, Montana, Wyoming or Minnesota. GENERAL lNFORMATION FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) herbicide is a convenient unit pack that is mixed in water and applied as a spray. Open package completely and empty contents of both compartments into spray tank. FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) controls weeds in wheat (including duntm). Apply FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) as a uniform broadcast spray according to the recommendations given in this label. Failure to follow these directions may result in a reduction in weed control/suppression and/or a potential for crop injury. A surfactant should be used in the spray mix unless otherwise specified on this label. FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) controls some broadleaf weeds by preemergence activity, and both grass and broadleaf weeds by postemergence activity. For best preemergence results, apply bdore weed seeds genninate. Use sprinkler irrigation or allow rainfall to move FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) 2-3" deep into the soil profile. For best postemergence results, apply FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) to young, actively growing weeds. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following: 'weed spectrum and infestation intensity 'weed size at 3pplication -environmental conditions at and following treatment. ENVIRONMf,NTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAlc ACTIVITY FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is absorbed through the roots and foliag'; of susceptible weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. One to 11 weeks after application to weeds, leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently dies. Postemergence application of FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
DuPont™ FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf{mp) may injure crops that are stressed from adyerse environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop may be sensitive to treatment with FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of such varieties may injure crops. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in we,cds; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. Abnormal environmental conditions (excess soil moisture, drought, or extreme cold weather) can affect herbicidal activity and may reduce levels of weed control-resulting in weed stunting rather than weed death. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp). Postemergence weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application. Do not apply when rain is expected within the next hour after application. APPLICATION TIMING FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf{mp) must always be applied postemergence to crop and grass weeds. Do not apply preemergence, or before crop emergence is completed. To avoid crop injury, apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf{mp) before jointing begins. Do not make more than one application ofFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf{mp) per growing season. FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) herbicide may be applied in the winter as long as daytime temperatures reach 40"F. Winter Wheat: Apply anytime after the crop has 2 leaves, but before jointing begins. Treat late-seeded winter wheat after the crop h" started to tiller since the combined effect of herbicide stress and stress from cold weather andlor moisture could cause crop injury. Spring Wheat and Durum: Apply anytime after emergence, but before the majority of plants have 4 total leaves on the main stem plus 2 tillers. Do not apply after jointing begins. Note Apply to Vic durum after early tillering, but before boot. RATE OF APPLICATION AND WEEDS CONTROLLED OR PARTIALLY CONTROLLED FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) is a unit pack product which will treat up to 30 acres of wheat as a broadcast application. Refer to the following table for acres treated by Rate I, Rate II, and Rate 1II ofFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf{mp).

TANK MIX INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS
Tank Mjxhlfes with Djcamba: Tank mixtures ofFINESSE®
Grass & Broadleaf (mp) with Dicamba may result in
reduced control of grass weeds.
Tank Mixes with Insecticides: FINESSE® Grass &
Broadleaf(mp) may be tank mixed with insecticides
registered for use on wheat. However. under certain
conditions (stress from drought, cold weather or wann days
and cold nights following application, or crops in the 24
leafstage), tank mixtures or sequential treatments of
FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} and organophosphate
insecticides (such as methyl or ethyl parathion, "Di-Syston",
etc.) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe
cases, crop injury. Test these mixtures in a small area first. .
Ifno symptoms of crop injury occur 14 days after treatment,
treat the rest of the acreage.
Do not use I:'INESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} plus
Malathion, as crop injury may result.
Do not apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} within 60
days of crop emergence where an organophosphate
insecticide (such as "Di-Syston") has been applied as an in
furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
Surfactants : Unless otherwise specified, add a non-ionic
surfactant (NIS) having at least 80% active ingredient at
0.5% v/v (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution).
Antifoaming agents may be used if needed. If another
herbicide is tank mixed with FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf
(mp), select adjuvants authorized for use with all the tank
mix partner frerbicides. Adjuvants must contain only EPA
exempt ingredients (40 CFR 180.1001).
Ammonium Nitroen FertjIjzer: In addition to a non-ionic
surfactant, use 2 qt. lacre of a high-quality urea ammonium
nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 Ibs.!are of a
spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qtiacre UAN
or 4 Ibs.!acre AMS under arid conditions.
, Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substirute for
surfactant.
Carrier Solutions (With Liquid NjtrQllen Solution
Fertilizer): Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used
as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility
test before mixing FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} in
fertilizer solution.
5
FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) must first be
slurried with water ~ then added to liquid nitrogen
solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is
running while F1NESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} is
added. Note that use of fertilizer as the carrier may result in
temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
If using rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray
solution that are less than 50% of the spray solution volume,
the addition of non-ionic surfactant is necessary. Add
surfactant at 1/2 pint to I quart per 100 gallons of spray
solution (0.06.3 to 0.25% v/v) based on local
recommendations.
When using rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray
solution that arc greater than 50% of the spray solution,
adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. Consult
your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldsman, or DuPont
representative for a specific recommendation before adding
surfactant to these tank mixtures.
TANK MIX1-URES
FlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) may be tank mixed
with other suitahle registered herbicides to control weeds
that are listed on this label as partially controlled, weeds
resistant to FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp}, andlor
weeds not list<:d on this label as controlled. Read and follow
all manufacturer's label recommendations for the
companion herbicide. If those recommendations conflict
with this label" do not tank mix the herbicide with
FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp}. Use the most
restrictive labe'i limitations for each product used in the
tankmix.
IfFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is applied in a tank
mix with a dicamba containing broadleafherbicide, grass
control may b" reduced.

1/4 Ib active ingredient per acre. Apply FINESSE® Grass &
Broadleaf(mp) plus 2,4-D after tillering (refer to
appropriate 2,4-D's manufacturer's label). Tank mixtures of
FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp} plus 2,4-D may result
in reduced control of grass weeds. Unless otherwise
recommended by DuPont, do not add a surfactant when
mixing with 2A-D ester formulations.
( With Bromoxynil containing products (such as "Buctril", "Bison"J "Bronale" or "Bronate Advanced', OuPont™ FINESSE® Grass & 8roadleaf(mp) may be tank mixed with bromoxynil containing herbicides registered for use on wheat. For best results, add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3 to 6 oz active ingredient per acre (such as "Bronate" or "Bison" at 3/4 - 1 112 pt per acre). Tank mixes ofFINESSE® Ghiss & 8roadleaf(mp) plus bromoxynil may result in reduced control of Canada thistle. With "Starane", UStarane + Salvo" For improved control ofKochia (2" tall) FINESSE® Grass & 8roadleaf(mp) may be tank mixed with 113 to 2/3 pints per acre ofStarane, 2/3 to I 1/3 pints per acre ofStarane + Salvo. Refer to the DuPont herbicide label, and the Starane, Starane + Salvo labels for infonnation regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping recommendations, sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other information. 2,4-0 herbicides (preferably ester formulations) may be tank mixed with FINESSE® Grass & 8roadleaf(mp) plus Starane. Consult local recommendations and the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional infonnation. With "Aim" FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) can be tank mixed with "Aim" herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat. Refer to the "Aim" label for infonnation regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping recommendations, sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other infonnation. With "Stinger" or "Curtail" FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) can be tank mixed with "Stinger" or "Curtail" herbicides for improved control of weeds in wheat. Refer to the "Stinger" or "Curtail" label for infonnation regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping recommendations, sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other information. GROUND APPLICATION To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage use flat-fan nozzles. • For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds. For optimal product performance and minimal spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height recommended in manufacturers' specifications. • Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury. . • When using flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume 'of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA) at 30 to 50 PSI to ensure proper weed coverage. • Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger. 6 AERIAL APPLICATION Apply in wat,er using a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons/acre. Use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre under dry conditions or heavy weed infestations. For best results, include I gallon of 28-0-0, or I gallon of32-0-0, . ammonium nitrogen fertilizer plus 0.5% surfactant. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets for best results, and to insure unifonn spray coverage. Aerial application ofFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) should be made with low drift nozzles at a maximum height of 10 feet above thl~ crop and at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. Do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops,.as injury may Ol:cur. CROP ROTATION Before using FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp), carefully consider YOUli crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, it is recommended to not treat all of your wheat acres at the same time. MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVALS Minimum re(:ropping intervals· are determined by the rate of break dow II ofFlNESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) applied. FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) breakdown in the soil is allected by soil pH, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) breakdown ill soil, while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soillllloisture slow FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) breakdown. Of these thre,e 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 recropping. • The minimum recropping interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting. Before using FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp), carefully consi.der your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do not treat all of your wheat acres at the same time. SOIL PH L.IMITATIONS FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) should not be used on soils having" pH above 7.9,.as extended soil residual activity could extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal, and under ce:rtain conditions, could injure wheat. In addition, oth," crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations ofFINESSE® Grass & Bro"dleaf (mp). . Checking Sod pH 8efore using FlNESSE® Grass & 8roadleaf(mp), determine th" soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain a representative pH value for the test area, take several 0 to 4" samples fi'om different areas of the field and analyze them separat,ely. Consult local extension publications for additional informationon recommended soil sampling procedures.

BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be completed before rotaling to any
crop nOllisted (See Ihe Rotalion Intervals lable), or if the
soil pH is not in the specified range. or if the minimum
cumulalive p",cipitalion has nol 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 DuPont™ FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp). Crop response to the bioassay will indicate whether or not to rotate to the crop( s) grown in the test strips. If a field bioassay is planned, 'check with your local DuPont representative for infonnatio,n detailing the field bioassay procedure. . GRAZING Treated wheat fields may be grazed at anytime. Note: For best results, apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) 5-7 days before grazing. Grazing under wet soil conditions may reduce grass weed control or suppression. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS I. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 with clean water. 2. While agitating, add the required amount of FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) . 3. Continue agitation until the FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes. 4. Once the FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material. 5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary volume of nanionic surfactant. Always add surfactant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. 6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 7. Apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) spray mixture within 24 hours 'of mixing to avoid product degradation. 8. IfFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp). Do not use FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to below 3~ :. SPRAY EQUIPMENT • For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc. • Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment prope"rly before application. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a unifonn spray pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms 8 while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to tht~ crop. • Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label. • Continuous agitation is required to keep FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) in suspension. SPRAYER CLEANUP Spray equipment must be cleaned before FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures . specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) below. At the End ,of the Day When multipl:e loads of FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) herbicide are applied, it is recommended that at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the application equipment. After Spraying F1NESSE® Grass & Broad/eaf (mp) and Before Spraying Crops Other Than Wheat To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications of FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) as follows:
- Drain tank: thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits.
- Fill the tank with clean water and I gal of household ammonia· (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely filJ the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses. boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
- Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
- Repeat step 2.
- Rinse the tank. boom, and hoses with clean water.
- If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) recommended on this labeL Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal fadlity. • Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or a DuPont~approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read .md follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your Agricultural dealer, applicator, or DuPont representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
( ( Notes:
- Caution: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases wilt fonn. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area.
- Steam.c1eaning spray tanks is recommended prior to performing the above c1eanout procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits. .'
- When DuPontT" FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) is tank mixed with other pesticides. all required c1eanout procedures should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
- In addition to this cleaneut procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products should be followed as per the individual labels.
- Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between applications ofFINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) and applications of other pesticides to FINESSE® Grass & BroadJeaf(mp) sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is recommended that a sprayer be dedicated to FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf (mp) to further reduce the chance of crop injury. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. Do not allow this product to drift onto other crops, especially canola. tame oats, or other non-target crops. AVOIDING SPRA Y DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE - GROUND APPLICATION The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. 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 Surface Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower 9 spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. . BOOM LENGTH AND HEIGHT - GROUND APPLICATION Boom Height - Setting the boom at the lowest height which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. The boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. WIND - Gt;!OUND APPLICATION Drift potential increases at wind speeds offess than 3 mph (due to variable direction and inversion potential) or more than \0 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. A VOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local tc:rrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they effect spray drift. AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. I. 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. INFORMArlON ON DROPLET SIZE - AERIAL APPLICATlON 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, 0" under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size - Aerial Application 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 net:ded, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Ori,'ntation - 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. 'I/'~
( ( 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 - AERIAL APPLICATION 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 - AERIAL APPLICATION 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-AERML APPLICATION When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. 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 - AERIAL APPLICATION Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 to 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. SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a surface temperarure inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized by increasing. temperature with altitude and are common on nigh'ts with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to fonn 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 a surface inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 10 SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However. it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with unifonn deposition of the product. RESISTANCE DuPont™ FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) is an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicide. When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the :,ame field. naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that fieid. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. Ifw.:ed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to rc:trcat 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, il may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment. tank-mix partners andlor 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. See the Weeds Controlled section of this label for additional information on managing herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is advisable 10 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. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Managemenl (JPM) program that can include biological, cultural. and gl:netic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field s(;outing or other detection methods. correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to detennin'e appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area PRECAUTIONS For use only in wheat. Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: 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 locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways. tennis courts, or similar areas.

Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation
may result from failure to oberve the following:
Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or
indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target
plants Of areas.
Carefully observe sprayer cleanup instructions, both
prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue
may damage crops other thaOn wheat.
Do not harvest grain sooner than 60 days after the
application ofDuPont™ FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf
(mp).
Wheat varieties may differ in their response to various
herbicides. DuPont recommends that you first consult your
state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to
sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available,
limit the initial use of FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp)
to a small area.
Do not apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) to wheat
that is stressed by severe weather c.onditions, drought, low
fertility, water-saturated soil, disease or insect damage, as
crop injury may result. Severe winter stress, drought,
disease. or insect damage following application may also
result in crop injury.
Do not apply FINESSE® Grass & Broadleaf(mp) after
jointing begins because crop injury may result.
Do not apply to wheat undersown with legumes and grasses,
a. injury to the forages will result.
Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoff may
result.
Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used
to irrigate other cropland.
To prevent crop injury due to cold weather, avoid early
postemergence applications (2-4 leaf stage) to wheat during
late fall or winter when cold weather conditions are
unpredictable and can be severe. The combined effects of
herbicide stre.5S plus cold weather stress can result in greater
crop injury than either stress factor alone.
Fall applications on coarse textured soils (especially those
having a pH of greater than 7.0) may not provide adequate
control or suppression of spring germinating weeds.
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 result when treated soil is
blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal
grains.
For ground applications applied postemergence to weeds
when dry, dusty field conditions exist; control of weeds in
wheel track areas maybe reduced. The addition of2,4-D
should improve weed control under these conditions:
Preemergence applications of2,4-D or herbicides
containing 2,4-D made within two weeks of planting spring
cereals may cause crop injury when used in conjunction
with early postemergence applications of FINESSE® Grass
& Broadlcaf(mp).
