It may be used preplant, preemergence. or at planting in cotton or soybean, or it may be used postemergent in cotton and soybeans that contain the Roundup Ready gene. Cotton or soybean crops that do not contain the Roundup Ready gene are not tolerant to this product. MO:-;! 78746 is specifically designed to control volunteer Roundup Ready com and other weed species controlled by Roundup® brand herbicide products. Unless volunteer Roundup Ready com is present, Monsanto reconunends using one of the Roundup brand herbicide products labeled for these uses instead of MON78746. MON 78746 S-April-2000 Page 6 of 23 MaN 78746 label.doc
) ) MON 78746 is a systemic h<.!rbicide \ ..... irh no soil residual activity. It is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate that may be applied through most standard mdustrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with \vater or other carriers according to label instructions. Unless otherwise directed in this product's labeling. do not add surfactants, additives containing surfactants. buffering agents or pH adjustmg agents to the spray solution when MON 78746 IS the only pesticide used. Ammonium sulfate or drift control additives may be used. See the MIXING section of this label for instructions. Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the phnt 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 product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete bro\ning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant pans. Stage of\Veeds: Arumal weeds are easiest to control ",hen they are smalL Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treannent is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. Refer to sections 8 and 9 of this label for reconunended application timings. Do not treat weeds under poor grov.ing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage. as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may ai50 occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust. Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when applications are made to arumal or perennial weeds that have been mowed. grazed. or cUl and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended stage for treatment. Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after applicltion may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate conrrol. Spray Coverage: For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff. No Soil Acth'ity: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product. Weeds germinating from seed after application will 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 gro\ ...... Volatility: MO~ 78-.f6 in non-\·olarile. Therefore. it cannot move as a vapor after application to affect nearby vegetation. 5.2 General Precautions And Restrictions Annual Maximum Cse Rate: The combined total of all treatments must not exceed 3 quarts of this product per acre per year. The maximum for a single in-crop application of MON 78746 in Roundup Ready cotton is I quart per acre. The maximum for a single in-crop application of MON 78746 in Roundup Ready soybeans is 2 quart per acre.

spray tank with Y4 to 1/3 required amount of water. While agitating, add the recommended amount of this
product and continue agitating uotil MON 78746 is completely dispersed. Once MON 78746 is fully
dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling with water .. Use caution to avoid siphoning back into the
carrier source. Use approved anti-hack-siphoning devices where required by state or local regulations.
During mixing and application, foaming of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, use
an approved anti-foam or drefoaming agent.
6.2 Tank :\ixing Procedure
Buyer and all users are responsible for a111055 or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures
of this product with herbicides Of other materials that are not expressly recommended in this labeling.
Mixing this product with herbicides or other materials not recommended on this label may result in reduced
perfonnance or crop injury.
Mix labeled tank mixtttres of this product with water as follows:
J. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the spray tank one-half full with water and start agitation.
3. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with the water carrier. and add it SLOWLY through the
screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
4. If a flowable formulation is used, premix one part flowable with one part water. Add diluted mixture
SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
5. ]f an emulsifiable concentrate fonnulation is used, premix one part emulsifiable concentrate with two
parts water. Add diluted mixture slowly through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
MON 78746 5-April-2000 Page 8 of 23 MON 78746 label.doc
) ) ) ) 6. Continue filling the spray tank with water and add the required amount of this product near the end of the fillmg process. 7. Add individual formulations to the spray tank as follows: wettable powder~ f1owable, emulsifiable concentrate, drift control additive and water soluble liquid. Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture IS allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixnrre before spraying is resumed. Keep by-pass hne on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Ahvays predetennine the compatibility oflabeled tank mixtures of this product \1 .. ith water carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Refer to the "Tank MIXing" section of "GENERAL INFORMATION" for additional precautions. 6.3 Ammonium Sulfate The addition of I to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of \vater may increase the performance of this product, particularly when tank mixed with certain residual herbicides on armual and perennial weeds. The equivalent rate of ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also be used. Ensure that ammonium sulfate is completely dissolved in the spray tank before adding herbicides. Thoroughly rinse the spray system with clean water after use to reduce corrosion. 1"OTE: When using ammonium sulfate, apply this product at rates reconunended in this label. Lower rates v.ill result in reduced performance. 6.4 Drift Control Additives Drift control additives may be used 'With all equipment types. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other infonnation appearing on the additive label. 7.0 APPLICATIOJ\ EQillPMENT AND TECHNIQUES Spray drift management: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was not intended. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product increases when winds are gusty, as v.ind velocity increases, when wind direction is constantly changing or when there are other meteorological conditions that favor spray drift. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. Avoid applying at excessive speed or pressure.

AERIAL SPRAY DRIIT ;\IANAGEMENT
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from
aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
- The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- 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 MON 78746 5-April-2000 Page 10 of 23 MON 78746 label.doc
) ) ) unfavorable environmental conditions (see the Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections of this label). Controlling droplet size • 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 recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy fU"otection. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher £10\' rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. \ f-trt :JJ0}-~r • Number of nozzles: ese the minimum nwnber of nozzles that provide uniform 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 % 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 evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this 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. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature inversions MON 78746 5-April-2000 Page 11 of 23 MON 78746 label.doc

)
Applications should not occur during a temperarure inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature
inversions restrict vertic)\ air mixmg, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directlons due to the light variable winds common during
mverslOUS. Temperatur-e im"ersioIl5 are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are
conunon on nights with hmited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and
often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not
present. inwTsions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
smoke generator. Smok,e that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
conditions) mdicates an inversion. ,.-hile smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
vertical air mixing.
Sensitive areas
The pesticide should only be applJed when the potential for drift to adJacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential
areas, bodie; of water, mO\TI habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal
(e.g. when \ind is blo\ing away from the sensitive areas).
Equipment :\laintenance
Thoroughly wash aircraft. especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this
product accumulated dunng spraymg or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSCRE OF THIS PRODUCT TO

THE P.-\RT. LANDING GEAR .-\RE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating
(paint). which meets aerospace specification \1IL-C-38413, may prevent corrosion.
7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment
Use the reconunended rates of this product in 10 to 25 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless
othernise specified. As density of weeds increases, spray volume should be increased within the recom
mended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper ozzle to avoid spraying a flne
mist. For best results with ground application equipment. use flat fan nozzles. Check for even distribution of
spray droplets.
7.3 Injection Systems
This product may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be used as a liquid
concentrate or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Do not mix this product with the concentrate
of other products when using injection systems.
7.4 Post-directed or hooded applications to Roundup Ready Cotton
This product may be applied using precision post-directed or hooded sprayers to Roundup Ready cotton
through layby. After the cotton reaches the four leaf (node) stage of development (the fifth true leaf is the
size of a quarter), post-directed equipment should be used which directs the spray to the base of the cotton
plants. Contact of the spray with cotton leaves should be avoided to the maximum extent possible. To
minimize spray onto the leaves of the cotton plants,. place nozzles in a low position directing a horizontal
spray pattern under the cotton leaves to contact weeds in the row, and maintain low spray pressure (less than
30 PSI). For best results, make applications while weeds are small (less than 3 inches). Any single post
directed application should not exceed I quart per acre of this product. 1\0 more than two applications
should be made from the fifth leaf through layby. Sequential in-crop applications of this product must be at
least 10 days apart and cotton must have at least two nodes of incremental gro",th between applications.

The distance of the outenmost nozzles on the
boom must not exceed 75% of the length of
the wingspan or rotor. In many cases.
reducing this distance to 65% of the length of
the wingspan or rotor will improve drift
control without affecting the swath width.

parallel with the air stream and never dis
charge downwards more than 45 degrees on
fixed wing aircraft or forward of the prevailing
air flow on rotary winged aircraft. Avoid the
use of nozzles with wide angle discharge.
