5.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
(HOW TillS PRODUCT WORKS)
Product Description: This product is a postemergent, systemic herbicide with no soil residual acti\ity. It
is generally non-selective and gives broad spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, \voody
brush and trees. It is fonnulated as a water-soluble liquid. It may be applied through most st2..TJ.dard
industrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing \\ith water or other carriers according to
label instructions.
Do not add surfactants, additives containing surfactants, buffering agents or pH adjusting agents to the
spray solution when MON 78128 is the only pesticide used. Amrr\orUum sulfate, drift control addio\·es, or
dyes and colorants may be used. See the MIXING section of this label for instructions.
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the
root system Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds
may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity
of this pr'1.duct and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and
yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground grO\\1b and deterioration of
underground plant parts.
MON 78128.doc 7 29-Mar-2000
(
Stage of Weeds: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial
weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching manrrity. Refer to the annual,
perennial, woody brush and trees rate tables for recommendations for specific weeds.
Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the recommended range when weed growth is
heavy or dense or weeds are growing in an undisturbed (noncultivated) area.
Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage, as
reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with
dust.
Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial
weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended
stage for treatment.
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat
application may be required for adequate control.
Spray Coverage: For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed
foliage to the point of runoff.
Mode of Action: The active ingredient in this product inhibits an enzyme found only in plants and
microorganisms that is essential to formation of specific amino acids.
No Soil Activity: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product.
Weeds genninating from seed after application \\;11 not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from
unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the herbicide and will
continue to grow.
When this product comes in contact with soil, it is bOlUld to soil particles. Under recommended use
situations, once this product is bOllild to soil particles, it is not available for plant uptake and wiB not harm
off-site vegetation where roots grow into the treated area or if the soil is transported off-site. The strong
affinity of this product to soil particles prevents this product from leaching out of the soil profile and
entering ground water
Biological Degradation: Degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil
microbes.
Volatility: MON 78128 is non-volatile. Therefore, it cannot move as a vapor after application to affect
nearby vegetation.
Toxicology Testing: Exposure to workers and other applicators generally is expected to pose minimal
risks based on results of short-term toxicity studies. Glyphosate has been thoroughJy tested and determined
not to cause cancer or other adverse long-term health effects.
Tank Mixing: This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control,
follow a label-approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all
other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. Use according to the most restrictive label
directions for each product in the mixture.
Buyer andall users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of ntixtures
of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly recommended in this labeling.
MON 78l28.doc 8 29-Mar-2000
( ,
Mixing this product with herbicides or other materials not recommended on this label may resuh in reduced
performance.
Annual Maximum Use Rate: Except as otherwise specified in a crop section of this label, the combined
total of all treatments must not exceed 6 quarts of this product per acre per year.
For noncrop uses, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 8 quarts of this product per acre per
year.
The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this product combined with the
use of all other herbicides containing glyphosate or sulfosate as the active ingredieDL \vhether applied as
mixtures or separately. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other
glyphosate or sulfosate containing products does not exceed stated maximum use rate.
ATTENTION
AVOID CONTACf OF HERBICIDE WITH FOLIAGE, GREEN STEMS, EXPOSED NON-WOODY

FOR AERLA.L APPLICATION IN CALIFORNIA OR ARKANSAS, REFER TO THE FEDERAL
SUPPLEME"'TAL LABEL FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS IN THAT STATE FOR SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS. RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS. This product plus Banvel tank mixtures
may not be applied by air in California.
AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from
aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or
rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more
than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
Importance of droplet size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and controL Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under
unfavorable environmental conditions (see the Wind, Temperatnre and Humidity, and Temperature
Inversion sections of this label).
Controlling droplet size
MON 78128.doc 12 29-Mar-2000
• Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with the
higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures reconunended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
droplet size and does not improve canopy protection. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher
flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide unifonn coverage.
• Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the
airstream, will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the
horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle type: Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types,
narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles
oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 0/. of the
wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
• Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of
the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the
lowest height that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets to eyaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displa~ed downward. Therefore, on the up
and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for thts displacement by adjusting the
path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase. with increasing drift potential
(higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. Howeve:. many faclOrs, including droplet size
and equipment type detennine drift potential at any given speed. Applioation should be avoided below 2
mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence v.ind
patterns. E\;ery applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns ~nd hO\y they affect drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative hwnidity, set up equipment 10 produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when ;:onditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift pOlentJ.l is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in
a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with
altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the
sun sets an<1.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
MON 78128.doc 13 29-Mar-2000
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
vertical air mixing.
Sensitive areas
The pesticide 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 the sensitive areas).
Avoid direct application to any body of water.
AVOID DRIFT--DO NOT APPLY DURING LOW-LEVEL INVERSION CONDITIONS, WHEN
WINDS ARE GUSTY OR UNDER ANY OTHER CONDITION WHICH FAVORS DRIFT. DRIFT
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY VEGETATION CONTACTED TO WHICH TREATMENT IS NOT
INTENDED. TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE
BUFFER ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle configurations which dispense
spray as fme spray droplets. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray
volume by increasing nozzle pressure.
Ensure unifonn application-To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking
devices.
Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this
product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO
UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF
THE PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating
(paint), which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-384 I 3, may prevent corrosion.
7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment
Use the reconunended rates of this product in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless
otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases, spray volume should be increased within the recom
mended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles to avoid spraying a fme
mist. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat fan nozzles. Check for even distribution of
spray droplets.
7.3 Hand-Held and High-Volume Equipment
Apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray
coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. C se coarse sprays only.
For control of weeds listed in the annual weeds rate tables, apply a 0.5 percent solution of this product to
weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner length. Apply prior to seedhead formation in grass or bud
formation in broadleaf weeds. For annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or unless otherwise specified, use a 1
percent solution.
For best results, use a 2 percent solution on harder-to-control perennials, such as bennudagrass, dock, field
bindweed,hemp dogbane, milkweed and Canada thistle.
MON 78128.doc 14 29-Mar-2000
(
When using application methods which result in less than complete coverage, use a 5 percent solution for
annual and perennial weeds and a 5 to 7.5 percent solution for woody brush and trees.
7.4 Selective Equipment
This product may be applied through recirculating spray systems, shielded applicators, hooded sprayers,
wiper applicators or sponge bars after dilution and thorough mixing with water to listed weeds growing in
any noncrop site specified on this label and only when specifically reconnnended in cropping systems.
A recirculating spray system directs the spray solution onto weeds growing above desirable vegetation,
while spray solution not intercepted by weeds is collected and returned to the spray tank for reuse.
A shielded or hooded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding desirable
vegetation ftom the herbicide.
A wiper or sponge applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed with an
absorbent material containing the herbicide solution.
AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators
used above desirable vegetation should be adjusted so that the lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is
at least 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution
settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloration. stunting or destruction.
Applications made above the crops should he made when the weeds are a minimum of 6 inches above the
desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide
solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense
clumps, severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that Dot all weeds are contacted. In
these instances, repeat treatment may be necessary.
Shielded and hooded applicators
Use nozzles that provide unifonn coverage within the ueated area. Keep shields on these sprayers adjusted
to protect desirable vegetation. EXTRE"lE CARE ML'ST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT OF
HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATIO"\;.
A hooded sprayer is a type of shielded applicator. The spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and
all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop ftom the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and
operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. If the hoods are
raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the crop, causing damage or destruction of
the crop. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the groWld. Tractor speed
must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where
the spray hoods might be raised off the ground.
Wiper applicators and sponge bars
Wiper applicators are devices that physically wipe appropriate amounts of this product directly onto the
weed.
Equipmeni must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting
desirable vegetation. Operate this equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 mph. Performance may be
MON 78128.doc 15 29-Mar-2000
0330;0134
improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to ensure adequate wiper saturation. Better
results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions.
A void leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator to ensure adequate contact
with weeds. Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may
migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of a wiper applicator.
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a I-day period, as reduced activity may result from use
of leftover solutions. Clean wiper parts inunediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with
water.
Do not add surfactant to the herbicide solution.

10.4 Habitat Management
TYPES OF USES: Habitat restoration and maintenance. wildlife food plots
Habitat restoration and maintenance
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product may be used to control exotic and other undesirable vegetation in
habitat management areas. Applications can be made to anow recovery of native plant species, prior to
planting desirable native species, and for similar broadspectruru vegetanon control requirements in habitat
management areas. Spot treatments C3n be made to selectively remove unwanted plants for habitat
maintenance and enhancement. The tank mixtures listed in this section of the label may be used for habitat
restoration and maintenance.
Wildlife food plots
USE INSTRUCfIONS: This product may be used as a site preparation treatment to control annual and
perennial we.eds prior to planting wildlife food plots. Any wildlife food species may be planted after

10.5 Rangelands
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS: Postemergence
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product will control or suppress many annual weeds growing in perennial
cool and wann season grass rangelands.
Preventing viable seed production is key to the successful control and invasion of annual grassy weeds in
rangelands. Follow-up applications in seqnential years should eliminate most of the viable seeds.
Grazing of treated areas should be delayed to encourage growth of desirable perennials. Allowing
desirable perennials to flower and reseed in the treated area will encourage successful transition.
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Do not use ammonium sulfate when spraying rangeland grasses with
this product. Do not make more than one application per year.
Postemergence
Apply 12-16 fluid ounces of this product to control or suppress many weeds, including downy brome, cheat
grass, cereal rye and jointed goatgrass in rangelands. Apply when most mature brome plants are in early
flower and before the plants including seedheads turn color. Allowing for secondary weed flushes to occur
in the spring following rain events further depletes the seed reserve, and encourages perennial grass
conversion on weedy sites. Fall applications are possible, and recommended where spring moisture is
usually limited and fall germination allows for good weed growth.
Apply 16 fluid Ounces when the medusahead has reached the 3 leaf stage. Delaying applications beyond this
stage will result in reduced or unacceptable control. Fire may be useful in eliminating the thatch layer
produced by slow decaying culms prior to application. Allow new growth to occur before spraying after a
burn. Repeat applications in subsequent years may be necessary to eliminate the seedbank before
reestablishing desirable perennial grasses in medusahead dominated rangelands.
Slight discoloration of the desirable grasses may occur, but they will regreen and regrow under moist soil
conditions as effects of this product wear off.
11.0 ANNUAL WEEDS RATE TABLE
ALPHABETICALLY BY SPECIES
Water carrier volwnes of 3 to 10 gallons per acre for ground applications and 3 to 5 gallons per acre for
aerial applications are recommended.
Apply to actively growing annual weeds. Annual weeds are generally easiest to control when they are smaiL
Older, mature (hardened) annual weed species may require higher rates even if they meet the size
requirements.
Do not tank mix with soil residual herbicides when using these rates uuless otherwise specified.
For weeds that have been mowed, grazed or cut, allow regrowth to occur prior to treatment.
For those ra.t.es less than 40 fluid ounces per acre, this product may be used up to 40 fluid ounces per acre
where heavy weed densities exist.

13.0 WOODY BRUSH AND TREES RATE TABLE
Apply this product after full leaf expansion, unless otherwise directed. Use the higher rate for larger plants
and/or dense areas of growth. On vines, use the higher rate for plants that have reached the woody stage of
growth. Best results are obtained when application is made in late summer or fall after fruit formation.
In arid areas, best results are obtained when applications are made in the spring to early summer when brush
species are at high moisture content and are flowering.
Ensure thorough coverage when using hand-held equipment. Symptoms may not appear prior to frost or
senescence with fall treatments.
Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage, mowing or removal. Repeat treatments may be
necessary to control plants regenerating from underground parts or seed. Some autumn colors on
undesirable deciduous species are acceptable provided no major leaf drop has occurred. Reduced
performance may result if fall treatments are made following a frost.

DRIFT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO ANY VEGETATION CON
TACTED TO WHICH TREAT
MENT IS NOT INTENDED. TO
PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT
DESIRABLE VEGETATION,
APPROPRIATE BUFFER
ZONES MUST BE MAIN-
TAINED.
Use the following guidelines
when aerial applications are
( . made near crops or desirable
perennial vegetation after bud
break and before total leaf drop,
and/or near other desirable
vegetation or annual crops.
1. Do not apply within 100 feet of a II
desirable vegetation or
crop(s).
2. If wind up to 5 miles per hour is
blowing toward desirable
vegetation or crop(s), do not
apply within 500 feet of the de
sirable vegetation or crop(s).
3. Winds blowing from 5 to 10 miles
per hour toward desirable
vegetation or crop(s) may re
quire buffer zones in excess of
500 feet.
4. Do not apply when winds are in
excess of 10 miles per hour or
when inversion conditions exist.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift;
therefore, do not use nozzles or
nozzle configurations which dis
pense spray as fine spray drop
lets. Do not angle nozzles
forward into the air-stream and
do not increase spray volume
by increasing nozzle pressure.
Drift control additives may be used.
When a drift control additive is
used, read and carefully observe
the cautionary statements and all
other information appearing on
the additive label."
Ensure uniform application-To
avoid streaking, uneven, or over
lapped application, use appro
priate marking devices.
Thoroughly wash aircraft,
especially landing gear, after
each day of spraying to remove
residues of this product accu
mulated during spraying or
from spills. PROLONGED
EXPOSURE OF THIS PROD
