Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality).

|
||
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

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 Nitro~en 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.!a~re 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

|
||
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.

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:
|
||
1. Drain tank: thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and
|
||
hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove
|
||
any visible deposits.
|
||
2. 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.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
|
||
bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
|
||
4. Repeat step 2.
|
||
5. Rinse the tank. boom, and hoses with clean water.

3. 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.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleaneut procedure, all precleanout
|
||
guidelines on subsequently applied products should be
|
||
followed as per the individual labels.
|
||
5. 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.
|
||
2. 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
|
||

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 ob~erve 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).
