DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the
|
||
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ herbicide must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label, in separately published
|
||
DuPont instructions (Supplemental Labels, Special Local Need Registrations, FIFRA Section 18 exemptions, FIFRA 2(ee)
|
||
Bulletins), or as otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire label, including the Limitation of Warranty and
|
||
Liability.
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
DILIGENT™ herbicide is a dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective burndown
|
||
and residual weed control in soybeans with Bolt™ technology. When applied according to the instructions on this label, it
|
||
will control many broadleaf weeds and provide partial control of nutsedge and annual grasses.
|
||
Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils under cool, wet conditions. Risk of crop injury can
|
||
be minimized by not using on poorly drained soils, planting at least 1.5 inches deep and completely covering seeds with
|
||
soil prior to preemergence applications.
|
||
Residual applications of DILIGENT™ require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide. Degree of control
|
||
and duration of effect depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and following time of treatment, soil pH,
|
||
texture, organic matter, moisture and precipitation.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This
|
||
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
|
||
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and
|
||
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about
|
||
personal protective equipment(PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this
|
||
product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
|
||
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
|
||
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
|
||
Coveralls.
|
||
Chemical resistant gloves made of any water proof material such as polyethylene or polyvinylchloride.
|
||
Shoes plus socks.
|
||

|
||
ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
|
||
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR part 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
|
||
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
Important: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified
|
||
above for "Applicators and Other Handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a
|
||
spill or equipment breakdown.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This product is toxic to non-target plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface
|
||
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target
|
||
plants and aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when
|
||
weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of
|
||
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to plants and should be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run off precautions on this label
|
||
in order to minimize off site exposures.
|
||
Under some conditions this product may have a potential to run off to surface water or adjacent land. Where possible, use
|
||
methods which reduce soil erosion, such as no till, limited till and contour plowing; these methods also reduce pesticide
|
||
run off. Use of vegetation filter strips along rivers, creeks, streams, wetlands or on the downhill side of fields where run
|
||
off could occur will minimize water run off and is recommended.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
USERS SHOULD: Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on
|
||
clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
|
||
As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
|
||
Best residual control is obtained if DuPont™ DILIGENT™ is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation
|
||
(~1”) before weeds germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4” each are not as beneficial as one large rainfall of
|
||
1/2-1”. On dry soil, more moisture is required for activation (1-2”) before weed emergence. If moisture is insufficient to
|
||
activate the herbicide, a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are
|
||
small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. Deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of DILIGENT™ and
|
||
should be avoided.
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
DILIGENT™ has two modes of action and rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weed species. Following application
|
||
of preplant or preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves
|
||
become yellow and/or brown by 3-5 days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some
|
||
species while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. Following a burndown application, growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds ceases followed by tissue yellowing and browning and death of the growing point. DILIGENT™
|
||
provides partial control of some annual grasses when used preplant or preemergence but other products may be needed to
|
||
ensure adequate grass control. When used for burndown, DILIGENT™ is rainfast after one hour.
|
||
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• Because most crops are highly sensitive to DILIGENT™, all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) to crops or to
|
||
land scheduled to be planted to crops other than soybeans with Bolt™ technology must be avoided.
|
||
• Do not apply to emerged soybeans.
|
||
• Do not apply to frozen ground.
|
||
• Do not contaminate any body of water.
|
||
• Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage.
|
||
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• Do not graze treated fields or harvest for forage or hay.
|
||
• Low pressure and high volume hand wand equipment is prohibited.
|
||
• Do not irrigate when soybeans are cracking.
|
||
• Refer to the "Aerial Application" section of this label for additional restrictions.
|
||
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixing/loading station.
|
||
• Do not mix/load, or use within 50 feet of all wells included abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes.
|
||
• Do not apply within 300 yards of non-dormant pears.
|
||
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
• Do not apply or 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.
|
||
• Do not allow sprays to drift to desirable plants.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• If a soybean variety is suspected of being sensitive to flumioxazin, check with the soybean seed company before treating
|
||
a field of that soybean variety with DILIGENT™ (contains flumioxazin).
|
||
• Soybean stunting may occur if excessive rainfall occurs after application but before soybeans germinate. Injury is more
|
||
prevalent under poor drainage or compacted conditions or when soil is saturated for long periods of time.
|
||
• Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or
|
||
drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase possibility of crop injury.
|
||
Excessive rainfall received in a short period of time following the emergence of soybeans treated with a preplant or
|
||
preemergence application of DuPont™ DILIGENT™ herbicide may cause minor leaf burn, crinkling, or defoliation of
|
||
some lower leaves of the soybean plants.
|
||
During the growing season, excessive periods of rainfall and cool, cloudy weather may cause temporary soybean
|
||
stunting. Soybeans rapidly outgrow stunting once favorable (sunny, warm temperatures) conditions return.
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
• Thoroughly clean DuPont™ DILIGENT™ from application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops
|
||
other than soybeans. Failure to remove even small amounts of DILIGENT™ from application equipment may result in
|
||
injury to subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
• Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses.
|
||
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
|
||
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
Prior to using DILIGENT™ herbicide, consideration should be given to crop rotation plans. Crops other than soybeans
|
||
may be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of DILIGENT™ remaining in the soil the next planting season. Choice of
|
||
rotation crop is restricted following application of DILIGENT™. (See "ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES" for your
|
||
geographical region.)
|
||
Thoroughly clean DILIGENT™ from application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops other than
|
||
soybeans. Failure to remove even small amounts of DILIGENT™ from application equipment may result in injury to
|
||
subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
RESISTANCE
|
||
DILIGENT™, which contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron, chlorimuron-ethyl, and flumioxazin, is both a Group 2 and
|
||
a Group 14 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. When
|
||
herbicides with mode of action classifications that affect the same biological sites of action are used repeatedly over several
|
||
years to control the same weed species in the same treatment area, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
|
||
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that area. 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 biological 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 affect a different site of action. Weed
|
||
escapes that are allowed to go to seed, and movement of plant material between treatment areas on equipment 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 to determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weed biotypes in your area.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and
|
||
genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include 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 systems in your
|
||
area.
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
Prior to choosing appropriate rate and application timings for DILIGENT™ give careful consideration to geographic use
|
||
regions, additional herbicides that may be applied to the field, and potential rotational crops noted in the REGIONAL RATE
|
||
DIRECTIONS and ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINE section of this label.
|
||

|
||
|
||
FOR USE ON SOYBEANS WITH BOLT™ TECHNOLOGY
|
||
Timing to Crop Stage
|
||
DILIGENT™ may be applied pre-plant in the fall or spring or anytime up to 3 days after planting. Applications of
|
||
DILIGENT™ made before weed emergence will provide residual control of labeled weeds. Burndown applications of
|
||
DILIGENT™ made in the fall or early spring will control emerged winter annual weeds and will provide residual control to
|
||
help prepare a clean seed bed for planting in the spring. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray
|
||
adjuvants as noted in SPRAY ADUV ANTS.
|
||
Use Rates
|
||
Apply DILIGENT™ at 4-6 oz/acre before soybean emergence. See cumulative active ingredient rate limitations noted
|
||
above. For most applications, apply at 4 oz/acre. Consult REGIONAL DIRECTIONS and separate supplemental labeling
|
||
or DuPont technical bulletins for additional use rate directions.
|
||

PLANNED SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMS
|
||
For season-long control in soybeans with BOLT™ technology, follow DuPont™ DILIGENT™ with an in-season
|
||
glyphosate-containing herbicide.
|
||
Where appropriate, and following guidance provided by labeling, add DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP or DuPont™
|
||
CLASSIC® to this in-season glyphosate application for enhanced broadleaf and sedge control.
|
||
To ensure maximal rotational flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
|
||
herbicides containing chlorimuron ethyl, such as CLASSIC® or SYNCHRONY® XP, carefully consider: the soil pH, the
|
||
instructions below, and the Rotational Crop Guidelines in this label.
|
||
Weeds Controlled
|
||
Fall or Spring Burndown of Emerged Weeds
|
||
DILIGENT™ is actively taken up by the foliage of susceptible weeds. Target applications onto 1-4" weeds for best results.
|
||
Applications of DILIGENT™ made after weed emergence will provide contact control of labeled weeds as well as limited
|
||
residual control of later emergence. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray adjuvants as noted below.
|
||
For the best burndown results, the addition of 2,4-D LVE is recommended, and is required for control of some weeds.
|
||
For burndown of larger annual grasses or broadleaf weeds or for burndown of weeds not listed, DILIGENT™ may be
|
||
tankmixed with herbicides such as DuPont™ ASSURE® II, DuPont™ EXPRESS® brands, DuPont™ PANOFLEX™
|
||
herbicide, dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, saflufenacil* or 2,4-D (LVE).
|

|
||
Spray Additives
|
||
Applications of DuPont™ DILIGENT™ used for burndown must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic
|
||
surfactant. Crop oil concentrate is the required adjuvant system unless tank mixing with a product that does not allow use
|
||
of crop oil concentrate.
|
||
Consult local DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another
|
||
herbicide is tank mixed with DILIGENT™, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Adjuvants must contain
|
||
only EPA-exempt ingredients.
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution).
|
||
• 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 (1 qt per 100 gal spray solution).
|
||
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater
|
||
than 12.
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
Other than chloroacetamide-containing products noted below, DILIGENT™ may be tank mixed with other products
|
||
registered for use in soybeans.
|
||
DILIGENT™ may be applied in tank mix combinations with full or reduced rates of other products provided:
|
||
• The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use restrictions as
|
||
DILIGENT™.
|
||
• The tank mix is not specifically prohibited on the label of the tank mix product.
|
||
• The tank mix combination is compatible as determined by a “jar test” described in the TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY
|
||
TESTING section below.
|
||
Read and follow all label instructions on timing; precautions and warnings when tank mixing Diligent. Follow the most
|
||
restricive labeling.
|
||
Weed control and crop safety resulting from the use of tank mixtures not specifically noted on this label, or in separately
|
||
published DuPont information, are the responsibility of the user.
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATABILITY TESTING
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of DILIGENT™ 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 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers,
|
||
or other precipitates, it is not compatible.
|
||
- Do not tank mix DILIGENT™ herbicide with acetochlor (“Warrant”), alachlor (“Micro-Tech”), flufenacet
|
||
(“Axiom”, “Domain”), metolachlor (DuPont™ CINCH® herbicide, “Dual Magnum”, “Dual II Magnum”,
|
||
“Boundary”) or dimethenamid (“Frontier” or “Outlook”) within 14 days of planting soybeans, unless
|
||
soybeans are planted under notill or minimum tillage conditions on wheat stubble or no-till field corn stubble.

|
||
Planned Sequential Programs
|
||
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ applied in the in the spring will not provide season-long preemergence control of annual grasses
|
||
and broadleaf weeds.
|
||
• For season-long control follow DILIGENT™ with sequential programs based on the targeted weeds.
|
||
To ensure maximal rotational flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
|
||
preemergence herbicides containing chlorimuron-ethyl, such as DuPont™ ENVIVE®, or DuPont™ ENLITE®, or
|
||
postemergence herbicides such as DuPont™ CLASSIC® or DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP, carefully consider the soil pH,
|
||
the recommendations below, and the Rotational Crop Guidelines in this label.
|
||
Applications of 4 oz/acre DILIGENT™ to soils with pH greater than 7:
|
||
Central Region
|
||
- Do not apply additional chlorimuron-ethyl containing herbicides.
|
||
Southern Region - Apply up to 0.5 oz/acre CLASSIC® (or 0.13 ozai/A chlorimuron-ethyl) may be applied.
|
||
Applications of 5 oz/acre DILIGENT™ to soils with pH greater than 7:
|
||
Central and Southern Regions
|
||
- Do not apply additional chlorimuron-ethyl containing herbicides.
|
||
Applications of up to 6 oz/acre DILIGENT™ to soils with pH of 7 or less:
|
||
Central and Southern Regions
|
||
- Preemergence and/or postemergence applications of DuPont™ CANOPY® EX, DuPont™
|
||
CLASSIC® or DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP may be made provided the combined total rate of chlorimuron-ethyl
|
||
derived from DILIGENT™ plus all other herbicides applied to the field are not exceeded as noted in ROTATIONAL CROP
|
||
GUIDELINES.
|
||
Refer to the DILIGENT™, CLASSIC® and/or SYNCHRONY® XP herbicide labels for specific information regarding use
|
||
rates, application timing, crop rotations, and other restrictions and precautions.
|
||
ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES
|
||
To ensure maximal rotational crop flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
|
||
products containing the active ingredients found in DILIGENT™, give careful consideration to the soil pH and the
|
||
Rotational Crop Guidelines noted in this label. The combined total rate of chlorimuron-ethyl derived from DILIGENT™
|
||
plus all other herbicides applied to the field is an important factor in determining re-crop intervals.
|
||
Typical use rates of chlorimuron-ethyl-containing herbicides and the corresponding amount of active ingredient they
|
||
contain are noted below. Actual use rates and combined total amounts of chlorimuron-ethyl must be determined prior to
|
||
using the re-crop tables.

||
Interval Table describes the minimum length in months from the time of DILIGENT™ application until DILIGENT™
|
||
treated soil can be replanted to the crops listed in the table. For fall applications, begin counting the re-cropping interval
|
||
from the normal spring planting time for soybeans in your area.
|
||
For sequential programs using chlorimuron-ethyl-containing herbicides (such as CANOPY® EX, CLASSIC®, or
|
||
SYNCHRONY® XP) do not exceed a sum total of 0.82 ounce active ingredient per acre chlorimuron-ethyl in the
|
||
Central Region States or 1.07 ounces active ingredient chlorimuron-ethyl in the Southern Region States in any one
|
||
soybean growing season.

loss. User should seek the advice of their seed corn company agronomist regarding inbred sensitivity to herbicides prior to planting any inbred
|
||
lines.
|

long as no other chlorimuron-ethyl containing products (eg DuPont™ CLASSIC®, DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP, etc.) were applied in the same
|
||
season as DILIGENT™. In soils with a pH greater than 7.0 where an DILIGENT™ rate was >4.0 oz/acre or where 4.0 oz/acre DILIGENT™ was
|
||
followed by an application of another chlorimuron-ethyl containing product, the recrop to rice is 18 months.
|
||
* 10 months in the Southern Region for soils with pH <6.5.
|
||
SPRAY TANK PREPARATION
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide deposits before using DILIGENT™. Follow the spray
|
||
tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously sprayed. If no cleanout procedure is provided, follow the
|
||
cleanout procedure below for all application equipment.
|
||
1. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one of the cleaning agents listed in the SPRAYER CLEANUP section of this label.
|
||
Complete filling the tank and flush the cleaning solution through the boom and hoses. Let stand for 15 minutes with agitation or
|
||
recirculation and then drain the tank after flushing the hoses, boom, and nozzles.
|
||
3. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
4. Follow label directions of the product previously sprayed for rinsate disposal.
|
||
Notes: During an extended period where spraying or mixing equipment will be used to apply multiple loads of DILIGENT™, at the
|
||
end of each day of spraying partially fill the tank with fresh water, flush the boom and hoses and allow to sit overnight.
|
||
A steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks is recommended to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
|
||
EQUIPMENT/ SPRAY VOLUMES
|
||
Ground Application, conventional tillage:
|
||
- Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure uniform coverage of soil and the best performance.
|
||
- For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver coarse to very coarse spray droplets, as indicated, for
|
||
example, by ASABE standard S572.1.
|
||
Ground Application, conservation tillage- burndown:
|
||
- Use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best performance. For small weeds
|
||
and/or heavy crop residue, increase the gallonage to ensure coverage.
|
||
- For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver medium spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by
|
||
ASABE standard S572.1.
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application:
|
||
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ may be applied by air for early preplant or preemergence use on soybeans. Apply uniformly with
|
||
properly calibrated aerial equipment. Use 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Higher gallonage applications generally afford more
|
||
consistent weed control. Avoid overlapping. Continuous agitation of the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension.
|
||
- 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.
|
||
- Do not apply spray when wind velocity is less than 3 mph or more than 10 mph.
|
||
- Do not apply this product by air within 100 feet of nontarget plants including non-target crops.
|
||
- Do not apply this product by air within 100 ft. of emerged cotton crops.
|
||
- Do not apply this product by air within 40 feet of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and reservoirs.
|
||
- Do not apply this product by air in the State of New York.
|
||
Impregnation and Application on Dry Bulk Fertilizer:
|
||
Uniform application of DILIGENT™ which has been impregnated on dry fertilizer is essential for satisfactory weed control.
|
||
Accurate calibration of fertilizer application equipment is essential for uniform distribution to the surface. Air flow or auger
|
||
metered application equipment is preferred (one pass application). If other equipment is used, the recommended method of
|
||
application is to apply the specified rate and overlap 50 percent to double apply by splitting the middles to obtain the best distri-
|
||
bution pattern.
|
||
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use diesel oil or other suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation as dusty
|
||
fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application. Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where the impregnated
|
||
fertilizer is not uniformly applied.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Fill tank 1/4 full with water. Start agitation system, add DILIGENT™ and continue adding water. Add separately each additional
|
||
component of any tank mix while adding water. Continue agitation throughout. If poor mixing should occur with any component,
|
||
premix the component with two parts water before adding to the spray tank.
|
||
A fertilizer solution may be used in the spray mixture. Small quantities should be tested for compatibility by the following
|
||
procedures before full-scale mixing.
|
||
1. Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
|
||
2. Mix 2 teaspoons DILIGENT™ with 2 tablespoons of water; mix thoroughly and add to fertilizer solution.
|
||
3. Close jar and shake well.
|
||
4. If other herbicides are to be used in the mixture, premix 2 teaspoons of wettable powder or 1 teaspoon of liquid with 2
|
||
tablespoons of water; add to DILIGENT™/fertilizer solution mixture.
|
||
5. Close jar and shake well.
|
||
6. Watch mixture for several seconds; check again in 30 minutes.
|
||
7. If mixture does not separate, foam, gel, or become lumpy, it may be used.
|
||
8. Mixing ability may be improved by adding compatibility agents
|
||
.
|
||
Provided the above procedure shows the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Add the fertilizer solution to
|
||
the spray tank first, with the agitator running, add the required amount of DILIGENT™ and thoroughly mix. For tank mixtures with
|
||
other herbicides, follow directions above. For tank mixtures with other herbicides, all applicable directions, restrictions and
|
||
precautions for the additional herbicides are also to be followed.
|
||
Use DILIGENT™ spray preparations the same day as mixed or product degradation may occur. Thoroughly reagitate and remix
|
||
before using, if allowed to settle. When tank mixing with other herbicides, all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for
|
||
the additional herbicides are also to be followed.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
|
||
applications of DILIGENT™ as follows:*
|
||
Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following DILIGENT™ application.
|
||
After DILIGENT™ is applied, the following steps should be used to clean the spray equipment:
|
||
1. Drain tank; thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces of the tank; then flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water for
|
||
a minimum of 5 minutes.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every 100 gallons
|
||
of water. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the boom, hoses, and nozzles.
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
Add water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate or recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the boom,
|
||
hoses and nozzles, and drain the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a bucket containing water and the
|
||
cleaning agent.
|
||
4. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the boom and hoses.
|
||
6. To enhance removal of flumioxazin from the spray system before spraying susceptible crops, follow the above clean-out
|
||
steps with ammonia, then add a tank cleaner such as “Valent Tank Cleaner” from Valent U.S.A. Corporation, and allow
|
||
the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray system (spray tank, hoses and boom) overnight before flushing
|
||
the system for a minimum of 15 minutes. If using "Valent Tank Cleaner" follow use instructions and personal protective
|
||
equipment (PPE) instructions as found on the "Valent Tank Cleaner" label.
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner recommended in separately published DuPont bulletins
|
||
may be used.
|
||
THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL pH
|
||
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 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.
|
||
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. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets which are consistent with pest control objectives. 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.
|
||
A droplet size classification system describes the range of droplet sizes produced by spray nozzles. The American Society of
|
||
Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) provide a Standard that describes droplet size spectrum categories defined by a
|
||
number of reference nozzles (fine, coarse, etc.). Droplet spectra resulting from the use of a specific nozzle may also be described in
|
||
terms of volume mean diameter (VMD). Coarser droplet size spectra have larger VMD’s and lower drift potential.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Application
|
||
• Nozzle Type - Select a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
|
||
produce larger droplets. The use of low-drift nozzles will reduce drift potential.
|
||
• Pressure - The lowest spray pressures recommended for the nozzle produce the largest droplets. Higher pressure reduces droplet
|
||
size and does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, using a higher-capacity nozzle instead of
|
||
increasing pressure results in the coarsest droplet spectrum.
|
||
• Flow Rate/Orifice Size - Using the highest flow rate nozzles (largest orifice) that are consistent with pest control objectives
|
||
reduces the potential for spray drift. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce coarser droplet spectra.
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream, or other low drift nozzles produce the coarsest droplet spectra.
|
||
• Number of Nozzles - Using the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage will
|
||
produce a coarser droplet spectrum
|
||
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles in a manner that minimizes the effects of air shear will produce the coarsest droplet
|
||
spectra. For some nozzles such as solid stream, pointing the nozzles straight back parallel to the airstream will produce a coarser
|
||
droplet spectrum than other orientations.
|
||
• Pressure – Selecting the pressure that produces the coarsest droplet spectrum for a particular nozzle and airspeed reduces spray
|
||
drift potential. For some nozzle types such as solid streams, lower pressures can produce finer droplet spectra and increase drift
|
||
potential
|
||
Boom Length (Aircraft), and Application Height
|
||
• Boom Length (aircraft) - Using shorter booms decreases drift potential. Boom lengths are expressed as a percentage of an
|
||
aircraft’s wingspan or a helicopter’s rotor blade diameter. Shorter boom length and proper positioning can minimize drift caused
|
||
by wingtip or rotor vortices.
|
||
• Application Height (aircraft) - Applications made at the lowest height that are consistent with pest control objectives and the safe
|
||
operation of the aircraft will reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
• Application Height (ground) - Applications made at the lowest height consistent with pest control objectives, and that allow the
|
||
applicator to keep the boom level with the application site and minimize bounce, will reduce the exposure of spray droplets to
|
||
evaporation and wind, and reduce spray drift potential.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential is lowest when applications are made in light to gentle sustained winds (2-10 mph), which are blowing in a constant
|
||
direction. Many factors, including droplet size and equipment type also determine drift potential at any given wind speed. A VOID
|
||
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Local terrain can also influence wind patterns. Every applicator is expected to be familiar with local wind patterns and how they
|
||
affect spray drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
Setting up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for droplet evaporation can reduce spray drift potential. Droplet
|
||
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
|
||
Surface Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which may cause 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 nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to
|
||
form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.
|
||
Inversions may also be identified by producing smoke and observing its behavior. Smoke that remains close to the ground, or
|
||
moves laterally in a concentrated cloud under low wind conditions indicates a surface inversion. Smoke that moves upward and
|
||
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
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 minimizing drift potential, 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, that it is configured properly, and that drift
|
||
potential has been minimized.
|
||
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Read the
|
||
specific crop use and application equipment instructions to determine if an air assisted field crop sprayer can be used.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of
|
||
water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the effect of spray drift.
|
||
Drift Control Additives
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully
|
||
observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure
|
||
that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control
|
||
additives have been certified by the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).
