- Sequential burndown followed by postemergence Timing To Crop Stage • STS® BROAD LEAF for burndown uses may be applied any time prior to soybean emergence. • STS® BROADLEAF, for in-season use on DuPont™ STSTMIRR or STSTM soybeans, may be applied any time after emergence but no later than 60 days before soybean maturity. Timing To Weeds Apply STS® BROADLEAF when weeds are young and actively growing. Applications made to weeds larger than the indicated sizes, or to weeds under stress, may result in unsatisfactory control. Spray Additives Consult local DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another . herbicide is tank mixed with STS® BROADLEAF, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Adjuvants must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001). Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO) • Apply at 1 % v/v (l gal per 100 gal spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions. • Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
- Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
- • Apply at 0.25% v/v (l qt per 100 gal spray solution) or 0.5%
- under arid conditions.
- • Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic
- surfactant with a hydrophilicllipophilic balance (HLB) greater
- than 12.
- Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
- • Use 2 quacre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN),
- such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2lb/acre of a spray grade
- ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quacre UAN or 4lb/acre
- AMS under arid conditions.

''' ,,'" '.'.,:.,,,,,,,,, ... , ... ,.'.L """""'1,..,.;.,:.;;';: •. ;:.:,,..""., Tank Mix Compatibility Testing Perform ajar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of STS® BROADLEAF and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 112 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily 3 film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible. Mixing Instructions I. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full-of water.
- While agitating, add the required amount of STS® BROADLEAF.
- Continue adequate agitation.
- STS® BROAD LEAF should be thoroughly mixed with water in the spray tank before adding any other material. As the tank is fIlling, add (in order): other herbicide(s), the required spray adjuvant, and the nitrogen fertilizer where required.
- Apply STS® BROADLEAF spray preparation within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
- If the mixture has settled, thoroughly reagitate before using. Cultivation Do not cultivate within 7 days of application. Cultivation may put weeds under stress by pruning roots, thus diminishing control. Cultivation approximately 14 days after application will help control suppressed weeds. Tank mixes of STS® BROADLEAF at 0.80 ozlacre plus DuPont™ EXPRESS® XP herbicides are recommended for fall bumdown of 3-inch dandelion in conservation tillage or no-till soybean production systems. Apply 0.8 oz/acre STS® BROADLEAF -plus- 0.125-0.25 oz/acre EXPRESS® XP -plus- crop oil concentrate -plus- 8 oz ailacre 2, 4-D LVE. STS® BROADLEAF + EXPRESS® XP may be applied to no till or conservation tillage fields anytime after the fall harvest, up to 45 days prior to soybean planting. STS® BROADLEAF at 0.8-1.6 ozlacre may be tank mixed with glyphosate for bumdown of existing summer and winter annual weeds and limited residual control of certain summer annual broadleaf weeds. Refer to 'Rotational Crop Guidelines' to provide guidance on allowable use rates by region. Application Timing STS® BROADLEAF plus glyphosate tank mixtures may be applied up to 30 days before planting or prior to soybean emergence after planting. Spray Additives • Always include 0.25% non-ionic surfactant. • The addition of 1 - 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 - 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water may increase performance of this tank mix. • For enhanced bumdown control, 8 oz ai/acre of2,4-D LVE may be added up to seven days prior to planting.

Nonionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate must be added. • For best results with STS® BROAD LEAF plus "Reflex" or ''Flexstar'', use a methylated seed oil-based or petroleum oil based crop oil concentrate at 8 pt per 100 gallon spray solution (1% v/v). • For best results with STS® BROADLEAF plus "Ultra Blazer", use nonionic surfactant at 2 pt per 100 gaIlon spray solution. Use of crop oil concentrate is not recommended, as severe injury may occur . • For best results with STS® BROADLEAF plus "Cobra", use crop oil concentrate at 4 pt per 100 gaIlon spray solution (0.5% v/v). Use the higher "Cobra" rate when prickly sida or hemp sesbania are heavy or if prickly sida and hemp sesbania approach the maximum size of 1" or 4", respectively. Include a nonionic surfactant at 1-2 pt per 100 gallons of spray solution (.125-.25% v/v). Do not use crop oil concentrate when tankmixing STS® BROADLEAF and "Cobra" at these rates. Tank mix applications of STS® BROADLEAF plus "Aexstar", "Reflex", "Ultra Blazer", or "Cobra" may not control weeds listed on the STS® BROADLEAF label as completely as applications of STS® BROADLEAF alone. STS® BROADLEAF and "FirstRate" herbicide: For improved ragweed and cocklebur control, add between 0.0759R.tfM~~~~;;R
- OJ o'liacre "FirstRate" to STS® BROADLEAF. These tankmixes will control up to 10" cocklebur or common ragweed and up to 12" giant ragweed. Use a lower amount of "FirstRate" when weeds are less than the maximum size and under good growing conditions. Use a higher amount of "FirstRate" when weeds are approaching the maximum size and/or under unfavorable growing conditions. A good quality petroleum-based or methylated seed oil-based crop oil concentrate must be added to the tank mix at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 gaIlons of spray solution or at 1 % vIvo An ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be added as directed under the "Spray Additives" section. STS® BROADLEAF and glyphosate products on STSTMIRR stacked-trait soybeans: • STS® BROADLEAF may be tank mixed with glyphosate containing herbicides for improved control of broadleaf weeds not completely controlled by either product alone or for control of larger weeds than controlled by either product alone. See the individual product labels for weeds and weed sizes controlled by each product alone. For common weeds controlled by a STS® BROADLEAF + glyphosate tankmix, see the list* below. .• Always include 0.25% v/v non-ionic surfactant. The addition of 1 - 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 - 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water may increase performance of these tank mixtures. 5 • For control of glyphosate-tolerant volunteer com in STSTMIRR stacked trait soybeans, add 5-8 oz DuPont™ ASSURE® II plus a nonionic surfactant (NIS) to the spray tank. Use 1 pt NlS. with 'loaded' glyphosate formulations and 2 pt with 'non-loaded' glyphosate formulations.

Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase minimum spray volume to 15-25 gal per acre. For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by ASAE standard S572. • For burndown applications of existing vegetation, use a minimum of 15 gal water per acre. For large weeds and/or heavy residue, increase gallonage to ensure coverage. For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by ASAE standard S572. Band Application • Because band applicators spray a narrower area than broadcast applicators, use proportionately less spray solution for band applications. • Carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. • Flat fan nozzles are recommended. • Carefully follow the nozzle manufacturer's instructions for nozzle orientation, distance of the nozzles from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration, and spray pressure for band applications. 6 Aerial Application {See Also Spray Drift Management} • Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 3-5 gal per acre. • Use a minimum of 3 gal water per acre. Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase the minimum spray volume to 5 gal per acre. • Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions could produce poor coverage and/or off-target spray movement.

Delay application until stress passes and weeds start to grow again. Severe stress (drought, disease, insect damage, or nutrient deficiency such as iron chlorosis) following application may also result in poor weed control. Do not apply STS® BROADLEAF if rain is expected within I hour or weed control may decrease. Crop rotation intervals noted in the table below below are based on crops grown under favorable growing conditions. Crops grown under unfavorable environmental conditions, such as drought, nutrient deficiency, high salts, disease and insect pressure may demonstrate reduced tolerance to crop protection chemicals. When deciding on a particular crop to replant in your fields, carefully consider your particular soil and other field conditions (see IMPORTANCE OF SOIL pH section of this label). • Important: Crops other than soybeans following a STS® BROADLEAF application can vary in their sensitivity to low concentrations of STS® BROADLEAF remaining in the soil.

j§Jj~~gO!~~CE. 0E:~g,~j~~~HiJJJI:I:HIJJr!:I::mmjl:ii Soil pH varies greatly, even within the same field. pH variations as much as 2 pH units are common. Composite soil samples taken across an entire field, such as those samples taken for soil fertility recommendations, may not detect areas of high pH. Sub sampling is recommended for areas likely to have pH values higher than the field average. The following is a non-inclusive y \0
list of potential high pH areas where subsampling is recommended. • Where different soil types are evident within a field, sample soil types separately. • Where conditions vary within a field, sample areas separately, such as:
- areas bordered by limestone gravel roads,
- river bottoms subject to flooding,
- low areas in hardpan soils where evaporative ponds may occur,
- eroded hillsides,
- along drain tile lines, and
- areas where drainage ditch spoil has been spread.
• Where lime has not been deeply incorporated, soil may exhibit
significantly higher pH values in the upper 3 inches of soil.
Composite soil samples taken at a 6-8 inch depth may not
reflect the elevated pH near the surface. In these cases shallow
sampling, the upper 3 inches, is advised.
Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis using a 1: 1 soil:water
suspension.

:£,I::,~~~~.
';!:fY, i'i:li,i jjiL" It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using DuPont™ STS® BROADLEAF and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application equipment before applying STS® BROADLEAF. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications of STS® BROADLEAF, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury. Note: • When cleaning spray equipment before applying STS® BROADLEAF, read and follow label directions for proper rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed. • Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits. • When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of STS® BROADLEAF, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit overnight. Cleanup Procedure
- Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
- Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
- Repeat Step 2. 8
- Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
- Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses and boom.
- Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea Herbicides, A Guide to Equipment Cleanout," may be used. 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. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. Importance of Droplet Size 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 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 spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. • Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift potential. • Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
Boom Height Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. Wind Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. 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 hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. Temperature Inversions Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Sensitive Areas DuPont™ STS® BROAD LEAF should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from sensitive areas). 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 uniform deposition of the product. Air Assisted (air blast) Field Crop Sprayers Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assisted sprayer is 9 recommended. Air Assisted (air blast) Tree and Vine Sprayers Air assisted tree and vine sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees and vines via a radially or laterally 'directed air stream. These sprayers are not suitable for applying herbicides.

All direct, or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than soybeans should be avoided. • Thoroughly clean all application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops other than soybeans. 'RESISTANCE ".;,;rw When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action. To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agriCUltural
extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area. DuPont recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting 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 determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area. 10 PESTICIDE STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.
