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.

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.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of STS®
BROADLEAF.
3. Continue adequate agitation.
4. 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.
5. Apply STS® BROADLEAF spray preparation within 24 hours
of mixing to avoid product degradation.
6. 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.
Emerged Weeds Controlled
DuPont™ STS® BROADLEAF tank mixed with glyphosate
applied prior to planting or soybean emergence, will provide
bumdown control of the weeds listed below as well as control
of most winter and summer annual broadleaf and grass weeds.
Consult glyphosate specimen labels for specific use

0.75 - 1.5 ptJacre "Reflex"
0.5 - 1.5 ptJacre "Ultra Blazer", or
4 - 6 fluid o'liacre "Cobra"
Refer to the "Aexstar", "Reflex", "Ultra Blazer" and "Cobra"
labels for the appropriate rate based on the weed sizes to be
controlled. 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 0.075
- 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

Ground Application
{See Also Spray Drift Management}
Broadcast Application
• Postemergence in soybeans, use a minimum of 10 gal water
per acre. 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.

STS® BROADLEAF rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible
weeds. Leaves of susceptible plants yellow 3-5 days after
application, followed, in controlled plants, by the death of the
growing point. STS® BROADLEAF will provide complete
control of susceptible weeds in 7-21 days. Suppressed plants may
remain green but will be stunted and noncompetitive.

Stress'affects some weeds, such as pigweed, more than others.
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).

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.

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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Repeat Step 2.
8
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
5. 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.

Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from
failure to observe the following:
• Do not apply STS® BROADLEAF or drain or flush
equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, 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.
• Many crops are sensitive to STS® BROADLEAF. 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.
