Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

||
Engineering Control Statements
|
||
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in
|
||
the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler
|
||
PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
DO NOTapply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below
|
||
the mean high water mark. DO NOTcontaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or
|
||
rinsate. DO NOTapply where/when conditions could favor runoff.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label
|
||
use. This product may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained
|
||
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including
|
||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from runoff water and
|
||
sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
|
||
is expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
|
||
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion
|
||
usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other
|
||
factors which can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing
|
||
winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if
|
||
prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory
|
||
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms,
|
||
including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target
|
||
organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift,
|
||
refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
GF-3969 herbicide is a water soluble granule which is a selective herbicide for burndown and residual
|
||
control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds.
|
||
GF-3969 can be tank mixed with a variety of herbicides to improve burndown and residual control;
|
||
however, the most restrictive label must be followed.
|
||
GF-3969 is absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move GF-3969 into the soil. Susceptible
|
||
weeds will not emerge from a preemergence application. In some cases, susceptible weeds may
|
||
germinate and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases and leaves become chlorotic
|
||
three to five days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species,
|
||
while others will remain green, stunted and noncompetitive.
|
||
The herbicidal action of GF-3969 may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental
|
||
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions or cultural practices.
|
||
GF-3969 residual is most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall is received within 5-7 days
|
||
after application. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction or weed germination
|
||
before rain occurs, use shallow tillage including rotary hoe to lightly incorporate GF-3969 and make
|
||
certain corn seeds are below the tilled area.
|
||
GF-3969 is best used as part of a sequential application herbicide program, following a before-planting
|
||
application of BASIS® Blend, CINCH®, INSTIGATE™, LEADOFF®, PREQUEL®, or RESOLVE® Q
|
||
herbicides and/or other pre-applied corn herbicides. Refer to the label of the respective corn herbicide
|
||
partner for specific use directions.
|
||
For post emergence applications of GF-3969, if activating rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (>0.5 inch) is not
|
||
received within 5 to 7 days after application, follow with a cultivation or with a sequential application of
|
||
ACCENT® Q herbicide, REVULIN™ Q herbicide, STEADFAST® Q, or glyphosate (including ABUNDIT®
|
||
Edge) as needed.

||
per acre. When tank mixing herbicides or using sequential herbicide for applications to field corn, DO
|
||
NOTapply more than a total of 0.17 pound of isoxadifen-ethyl per acre per year.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
GF-3969 may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with
|
||
field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods, and soil type.
|
||
GF-3969 may be applied to corn previously treated with chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin, tebupirimphos +
|
||
cyfluthrin, or tefluthrin insecticides, or other non-organophosphate soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
GF-3969 may be applied with pyrethroid type insecticides, including esfenvalerate and lambda-
|
||
cyhalothrin, or with diamide type insecticides.
|
||
Preplant/Preemergence applications of GF-3969 to field crops where an application of chlorpyrifos or
|
||
phorate is planned may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic
|
||
matter.
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of GF-3969 if there is a prolonged period of cold weather
|
||
and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
|
||
Prevent drift or spray onto desirable plants.
|
||
Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use (See Sprayer Cleanup section of this
|
||
label).
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
GF-3969, which contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron methyl, is a Group 2
|
||
herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations
|
||
resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may
|
||
include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or
|
||
without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the
|
||
labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed
|
||
resistance management program.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species
|
||
and weed sizes present.
|
||
Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
Apply full rates of GF-3969 herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified
|
||
time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your sales
|
||
representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
Contact your sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant
|
||
weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been
|
||
reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix
|
||
products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed.
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 12
|
||
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than
|
||
Group 2 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of
|
||
preventing further seed production.
|
||
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially
|
||
if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as
|
||
is practical:
|
||
Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed
|
||
control program.
|
||
Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 herbicides.
|
||
Avoid making more than two applications of GF-3969 and any other Group 2 herbicides within a
|
||
single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an
|
||
overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to- control weeds.
|
||
Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation,
|
||
cover crops and weed- free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
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 consultant or other qualified authorities to
|
||
determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest / crop systems in your
|
||
area.
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
|
||
ground or crop canopy unless making a rangeland application, in which case applicators may apply
|
||
with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
|
||
For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
DO NOTapply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOTapply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
DO NOTrelease spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 13
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
DO NOTapply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOTapply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
|
||
applications.
|
||
DO NOTapply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOTapply during temperature inversions.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
|
||
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
|
||
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
Volume -Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
|
||
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed,
|
||
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
Pressure -Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
Spray Nozzle -Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
Adjust Nozzles -Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage.
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT
|
||
release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is
|
||
necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 14
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify
|
||
that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
|
||
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect 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).

Field Corn Grown for Grain or Silage - Preplant/Preemergence
|
||
Application Rate
|
||
Apply GF-3969 at 1.25 – 2.5 ounce per acre before corn emergence. See cumulative rimsulfuron rate
|
||
limitation noted in Product Information. GF-3969 at 1.25 – 1.5 ounce per acre fits most
|
||
preemergence/preplant applications.
|
||
Timing to Crop
|
||
GF-3969 herbicide may be used in conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till crop management systems
|
||
and may be applied either preplant, preplant incorporated (less than 2” deep), or preemergence for use in
|
||
field corn production. Applications of GF-3969 made before weed emergence will provide residual control
|
||
of labeled weeds. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray adjuvants and can be
|
||
further enhanced with additional tank mix partners as noted in this label.
|
||
Preplant Incorporated: Apply to the soil and uniformly incorporate in the top two inches of soil before
|
||
planting using a finishing disc harrow, field cultivator or similar implement capable of providing uniform
|
||
two-inch incorporation. DO NOTincorporate GF-3969 deeper than 2” or weed control may be reduced.
|
||
Preplant/Preemerge Burndown: Apply GF-3969 when weeds are young and actively growing.
|
||
The addition of crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is advised for burndown of labeled weeds.
|
||
When weeds are greater than the maximum height listed or weeds not controlled by GF-3969 are
|
||
present, the addition of a burndown herbicide including glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, dicamba,
|
||
and/or 2,4-D is advised. If giant ragweed, common cocklebur, henbit, Pennsylvania smartweed or purple
|
||
deadnettle are present at the time of application, the addition of atrazine will improve control. Observe
|
||
direction for use and precaution and restrictions on the label of the burndown herbicide. When mixing with
|
||
liquid nitrogen fertilizer or glyphosate, substitute a non-ionic surfactant for crop oil.
|
||
Preemergence: Apply GF-3969 herbicide during planting (behind the planter after furrow closure) or after
|
||
planting.
|
||
Sequential Application - Preemergence
|
||
GF-3969 may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in
|
||
corn following a preemergence herbicide. Apply preemergence products including atrazine, BASIS®
|
||
Blend, RESOLVE® Q, CINCH®, INSTIGATE®, LEADOFF® or PREQUEL® herbicides. Refer to the
|
||
preemergence herbicide label for use restrictions, application information, rotational crop guidelines, and
|
||
cautionary statements prior to applying GF-3969.
|
||
DO NOTapply GF-3969 to corn that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications made to the
|
||
current or preceding crop.
|
||
Field Corn Grown for Grain or Silage - Postemergence
|
||
Application Rate
|
||
Apply GF-3969 at 1.25 ounces per acre as a postemergence broadcast application. Consult technical
|
||
bulletins, fact sheets or supplemental labeling for additional application rate information.
|
||
Timing to Crop
|
||
Apply GF-3969 to corn that is up to 20 inches tall. DO NOTapply to corn taller than 20 inches or
|
||
exhibiting 7 or more leaf collars, whichever is more restrictive. While GF-3969 has a wide application
|
||
window, research has shown best results are obtained when applications are made early postemergence
|
||
when corn and weeds are small. Target post applications to corn less than 12 inches tall for best overall
|
||
performance.
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 16
|
||
Applications of GF-3969 made after weed emergence will provide contact control of labeled weeds as
|
||
well as residual control of later emerging weeds.
|
||
Timing to Emerged Weeds
|
||
Apply GF-3969 when grasses and broadleaf weeds are young and actively growing, but before they
|
||
exceed sizes listed on this label. Applications made to weed sizes greater than those listed on this
|
||
product label may result in incomplete control. Grass and broadleaf weed competition due to incomplete
|
||
control may reduce corn yields.
|
||
On glyphosate-resistant corn, glyphosate products, including ABUNDIT® Edge, may be applied with GF-
|
||
3969 after weeds emerge but before they reach the maximum size listed on the glyphosate herbicide
|
||
label.
|
||
On glufosinate-resistant corn, glufosinate may be applied with GF-3969 after weeds emerge but before
|
||
they reach the maximum size listed on the glufosinate herbicide label.
|
||
GF-3969 is rainfast in 4 hours.
|
||
Sequential Application - Postemergence
|
||
GF-3969 may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in
|
||
corn following a preemergence herbicide.
|
||
Apply ACCENT® Q or REVULIN™ Q herbicide 14 or more days after the GF-3969 application to control
|
||
grasses that may emerge later in the season. Refer to the ACCENT® Q or REVULIN™ Q label for weeds
|
||
controlled, proper size of weeds, rates, corn sizes, and other information. When following a GF-3969
|
||
application, DO NOTuse more than 0.9 ounce per acre of ACCENT® Q (0.031 lb ai nicosulfuron) or 3.4
|
||
ounces per acre of REVULIN™ Q (0.031 lb ai nicosulfuron + 0.078 lb ai mesotrione).
|
||
DO NOTapply GF-3969 to corn that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications made to the
|
||
current or preceding crop.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
For control of emerged weeds, applications of GF-3969 must include a crop oil concentrate (COC )or a
|
||
high surfactant oil concentrate (HSOC).
|
||
The use of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) instead of a COC or HSOC is allowed, but the weed control
|
||
achieved with COC or HSOC is consistently better than NIS.
|
||
The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants may cause severe crop
|
||
injury to occur. MSO adjuvants are not advised.
|
||
In addition to COC or HSOC, always add spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray solution or AMS,
|
||
except if precluded elsewhere on this label.
|
||
When applied in tank mix combination with a glyphosate that contains a built-in adjuvant, including
|
||
ABUNDIT® Edge, ensure the total adjuvant load is equivalent to the directions on this label. Select
|
||
adjuvants authorized for use with both products.
|
||
Consult local fact sheets, technical bulletins or supplemental labels prior to using other adjuvant systems.
|
||
Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients.
|
||
DO NOTuse with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below 5.0 or above 9.0 as rapid
|
||
product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 – 8.0 allow for optimum stability of REALM® Q.
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 17
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC)
|
||
Apply at 1% (1 gallon per 100 gallon spray solution), or 2% under arid conditions.
|
||
Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) oil with at least 15%
|
||
surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
High Surfactant Oil Concentrate (HSOC)
|
||
Apply at 0.5% (2 quarts per 100 gallons spray solution).
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallon spray solution).
|
||
Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance
|
||
(HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
DO NOTuse liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution for postemergence applications.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
Use 2 quarts per acre of a high quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) including 28%N or 32%N, or 2
|
||
pounds per acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS).
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amounts of NIS,
|
||
COC, and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED/SUPPRESSED
|
||
For best control of emerged weeds, apply GF-3969 to grasses 3 inches or less, broadleaf weeds 4 inches
|
||
or less and winter annuals/biennials 6 inches or less. Make application prior to flowering.
|
||
Refer to the Spray Adjuvants section for additional information on proper adjuvant selection.

For full season control utilizing a two-pass application program (pre followed by post to corn), follow the
|
||
preemergence application of GF-3969 with a sequential, in-crop application of GF-3969, REVULIN™ Q or
|
||
STEADFAST® Q with appropriate tank mix partners.
|
||
For full season control utilizing a one pass preemergence application, mix GF-3969 with atrazine-
|
||
containing grass and broadleaf corn herbicides. Depending on the growing season, in-crop post
|
||
applications may be needed to control late grass and weed escapes.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Postemergence: GF-3969 APPLIED 1.25 oz/acre with Glyphosate
|
||
Glyphosate, including ABUNDIT ® Edge may be tank mixed with postemergence applications of GF-3969
|
||
when made to glyphosate-resistant corn hybrids. Refer to the Spray Adjuvants section for additional
|
||
information on proper adjuvant selection. When used in a tank mixture with glyphosate herbicide, GF-

GF-3969 may be tank mixed with glufosinate herbicide if applications are made to glufosinate-resistant
|
||
corn hybrids. Consult with your seed supplier to confirm the corn hybrid is glufosinate-resistant” before
|
||
applying any herbicide containing glufosinate. When used in a tank mixture with glufosinate herbicide,
|
||
GF-3969 will deliver improved burndown and/or limited residual activity on the following weeds:
|
||
Velvetleaf
|
||
Pigweed, redroot
|
||
Lambsquarters, common
|

||
Tank Mixtures - Additional Control of Broadleaf and Grass Weeds
|
||
GF-3969 may be tank mixed with other post-emerge labeled grass and broadleaf herbicides including
|
||
atrazine, dicamba, Cinch® ATZ, Cinch® ATZ Lite, ACCENT® Q and REVULIN™ Q to provide added
|
||
residual or burndown activity on emerged weeds. Consult tank mix partner labeling for rate and soil-type
|
||
restrictions. Read and follow all manufacturers' label instructions for the companion herbicide(s). DO NOT
|
||
|
||
Rimsulfuron + Thifensulfuron / GF-3969 / Prop Sec 3 / 03-25-2021 Page 20
|
||
use a tank mix partner product if its label conflicts with this GF-3969 label.
|
||
Ensure the tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use
|
||
restrictions as GF-3969, as well as other products used in the tank mixture.
|
||
As EC formulations, acetochlor or metolachlor herbicides, including CINCH®, can act like an adjuvant in
|
||
certain combinations and thus increase the risk of crop injury. If these tank mixtures are used, the user
|
||
must leave the crop oil concentrate (COC) out of the adjuvant mix.
|
||
GF-3969 may be tank mixed with atrazine formulations including CINCH® ATZ, CINCH® ATZ Lite, or
|
||
products that contain the same active ingredients, but special attention must be paid to adjuvant selection
|
||
and/or application method. If any of these tank mixtures are used the user must leave the urea
|
||
ammonium nitrate (UAN) out of the mix. There is still a risk of temporary crop injury in the form of leaf
|
||
burn with these mixtures. To further reduce the risk of crop injury also leave out the crop oil concentrate
|
||
(COC) and replace it with a nonionic surfactant (NIS).
|
||
The control of emerged weeds may be reduced due to less than optimum adjuvant effect or weed
|
||
coverage and there is still a risk of temporary crop injury in the form of leaf burn with these mixtures.
|
||
The crop safety of all possible tank mixture combinations with REALM® Q which may include physically
|
||
compatible pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and/or additives has not been tested.
|
||
To the extent consistent with applicable law, DuPont will not be responsible for any crop injury arising
|
||
from the use of a tank mixture that is not specifically described on the GF-3969 product labeling or in
|
||
other DuPont product use instructions.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of GF-3969 and other pesticides. Use a clear
|
||
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-ups, forms
|
||
flakes, sludge, gel, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible, and the tank mix
|
||
combination must not be used.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Water Carrier Instructions
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of GF-3969
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the GF-3969 is fully dispersed
|
||
4. Once dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water
|
||
5. As tanks fills, add desired tank mix partners
|
||
6. If not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using
|
||
7. Apply mixture within 48 hours of mixing for best results
|
||
If the selected companion herbicide has a ground or surface water advisory, consider this advisory when
|
||
using the companion herbicide.

||
APPLICATION AND SPRAY VOLUMES
|
||
Ground Application (Also refer to theSPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section)
|
||
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the
|
||
best performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds.
|
||
Avoid spray overlaps as excessive rates may result in adverse crop response.
|
||
Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser.
|
||
Maintain adequate agitation at all times, including momentary stops.
|
||
Aerial Application (Also refer to theSPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section)
|
||
Aerial application is not permitted in the state of New York with this product.
|
||
For aerial application only use nozzles producing coarse-ultra coarse droplets. DO NOTuse nozzles
|
||
producing fine-medium size droplets.
|
||
Applications must be made in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their crop response to low concentrations of GF-3969 remaining in the soil. The
|
||
amount of GF-3969 that may be present in the soil depends on soil moisture, soil temperature, application
|
||
rate, elapsed time since application and other environmental factors. When GF-3969 is used in
|
||
combination with other products, always follow the most restrictive rotational crop requirements.
|
||
Planting unspecified rotational crops, or those rotational crops that are specified at shorter than listed
|
||
intervals may result in injury to the rotational crop.
|
||
The following rotational intervals must be observed when using GF-3969:

SPRAYER PREPARATION / CLEANUP
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using GF-
|
||
3969, and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application equipment before
|
||
applying GF-3969. 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 GF-3969, thoroughly clean all mix and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury.
|
||
When cleaning spray equipment before applying GF-3969, read and follow label directions for proper
|
||
rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
|
||
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of
|
||
GF-3969, 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 hose down the interior surfaces with clean water
|
||
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 tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution
|
||
through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow agitating /
|
||
re-circulating for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
|
||
solution, then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Repeat Step 2
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms 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 minutes, flushing the water through the
|
||
hoses and boom.
|
||
*Equivalent amount of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner advised in the bulletin “Sulfonylurea Herbicides, A
|
||
Guide to Equipment Cleanout” may be used.
