See the section DIRECTIONS FOR USE for varietal restrictions. If broad leaf weeds must also be controlled in these crops, AVENGE SG may be tank mixed with certain broadleaf herbicides which are listed under the HOW TO USE AVENGE SG PLUS BROADLEAF HERBICIDES section. AVENGE sa alone or in combination can be applied postemergence by ground equipment or aircraft. . . Maximum control of wild oats in barley and wheat with AVENGE SG alone, or in combination, is obtained when temperature, moisture, fertility and cultural practices provide favorable conditions for plant growth. When applied under poor conditions for plant growth such as cold/wet or hot/dry weather or low soil fertility, AVENGE SO can produce yellowing or slight tip bum of barley or wheat. However, recovery is rapid when good growth conditions return. A slight reduction of yield may result under conditions described above. Observe all cautions and limitations. on this label and the labels of products used in tank mixtures with A VENOE SO. The use of A VENOE SO not consistent with this label can result in injury to crops, animals or persons. Keep containers closed to avoid spills and contamination. WHERE TO USE AVENGE SG: A VENOE SG alone or in combination can be applied to: BARLEY: All Varieties WHEAT: SEE TABLE BELOW 538-20070822rl Avenge SG Wild Oat Herbicide Page 3 of8

The timing of AVENGE SG application to wild oats frequently coincides with barley in the 2- to 7-leaf stage, spring­ seeded wheat in the 5- to 6-leaf stage, and fall-seeded wheat in the 4-leaf to tillered stage of growth. To achieve maximum control, the growth stage of wild oats in each field to be treated should be examined frequently to determine the 3- to 5-true leaf stage (tillering) for proper timing of AVENGE SG application. Density of wild oats per square foot should also be determined to select the correct AVENGE SG application rate. 538-20070822rl Avenge SG Wild Oat Herbicide Page 4 of8

(artwork) 3-true leaf stage ( WILD OAT STAGES (artwork) 4-true leaf stage ( EQUIPMENT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS (artwork) 5-true leaf stage The spray equipment must be clean and properly calibrated before treatments are applied. For best results, use flat fan nozzles, at pressures of 20 to 40 psi to achieve uniform spray distribution and minimize drift. DO NOT use flood jet nozzles. Keep the by-pass line on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. In ground applications, check nozzles for even distribution of spray droplets; In aerial applications, it is recommended that a flagman be located at each end of the field, or an automatic mechanical flagging unit be attached to the aircraft to ensure uniform aerial application and to avoid overlapping and possible crop inJury. AVENGE SG APPLICATION DO NOT apply AVENGE SG when the flagleaf is exposed or crop injury may occur. DO NOT apply AVENGE SG if rain is predicted within 6 hours. DO NOT spray AVENGE SG when freezing temperatures 'are forecast or when plants are wet with dew or rain. DO NOT apply AVENGE SG or AVENGE SG tank mix combinations under severe conditions for plant growth such as drought, extreme temperature fluctuation, low soil fertility and plant disease. Apply AVENGE SG alone and AVENGE SG plus broad leaf herbicide combinations in' 5 to 20 gallons of water per acre by ground equipment or 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre by aircraft. DO NOT let spray drift, onto adjacent crops. HOW TO USE AVENGE SG ALONE If wild oats are growing vigorously, select the proper application rate from the AVENGE SG Rate Recommendation Table (below) that corresponds to the population of wild oat plants per square foot in the field to be treated. ASSERT®/A VENGE SG TANK MIX OR ASSERT® SG/A VENGE SG TANK MIX FOR WILD OAT CONTROL ,AVENGE SG may be tank mixed* with ASSERT or ASSERT SG herbicides for the control of wild oats only. Consult the ASSERT and ASSERT SG labels for use directions, application rates and timing, state restrictions, precautions, and ASSERT or ASSERT SG recropping/rotation limitations. DO NOT tank mix AVENGE SG with any product not registered in specific states of intended use. HOW TO USE AVENGE SG PLUS BROAD LEAF HERBICIDES AVENGE SG may be tank mixed with the following broadleaf herbicides: 2,4-D amine or ester AlIy® Bromoxynil Bromoxynil plus MCPA Curtail® ' , Curtail® M Express® Glean® Harmony® Harmony® Extra MCPA amine or ester Select the proper AVENGE SG application rate as described in the AVENGE SG Rate Recommendation Table (below). In order to assure optimum broadleaf weed control follow label recommendations of your broad leaf herbicide. Be sure that application timings coincide with application timings for AVENGE SG. 53S-20070S22rl Avenge SG Wild Oat Herbicide Page 5 ofS

( 7/6] DO NOT apply AVENGE SG tank mix combinations when the crop flagleaf is exposed or crop injury may occur. DO NOT apply AVENGE SG tank mix combinations under stress conditions.

GENERAL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
AVENGESG 
A NON-IONIC SURFACTANT CONTAINING AT LEAST 80% NON-IONIC SURFACTANT 
MUST BE USED WITH AVENGE SG HERBICIDE. Use a surfactant registered for application to 
growing crops. Add 4 pints non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons (0.5% vol.lvol.) of final spray tank volume. 
Use of crop oil concentrates is not recommended, except as may· be described in separately published 
recommendations from Amvac Chemical Corporation. DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as a substitute for 
surfactant. 
VIGOROUS AGITATION OF THE ENTIRE TANK INCLUDING THE TANK BOTTOM IS 
REQUIRED TO RAPIDLY DISSOLVE THE WATER SOLUBLE GRANULES OF AVENGE SG 
HERBICIDE. Poor agitation and dead spots in the tank will retard rapid and thorough dissolving of 
AVENGE SG herbicide. 
PREMIXING INSTRUCTIONS (if tank agitation is inadequate) 
Premix the desired amount of AVENGE SG in clean water in a clean polyethylene plastic bucket. Use 
polyethylene plastic or stainless steel stirring rod or wateflpressure to mix until the granules of AVENGE SG 
dissolve. DO NOT allow premix solution to contact skin or clothing. Add premix solution into the spray 
tank as described in Mixing Instructions. Thoroughly rinse all of the A VENGESG into the spray tank. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG ALONE 
1. Fill tank three-quarters full with clean, filtered water. Start vigorous agitation that thoroughly mixes 
the entire tank, including the tank bottom. 
2. Add AVENGE SG to the partially filled tank while agitating. 
3. Continue filling the tank with clean water while maintaining agitation. 
4. After the AVENGE SG is dissolved and the tank is full, add the non-ionic surfactant to the tank at 
a rate of 4 pints surfactant per 100 gallons (0.5% vol./vol.) of final spray solution (See section above 
for brands requiring greater percentage surfactant). 
5. Allow mixture to agitate and recycle for at least five minutes before spraying. 
6. Agitation must be continued until spraying is complete. 
HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG PLUS BROADLEAF HERBICIDES 
1. Fill tank three-quarters full with clean, filtered water. Start vigorous agitation that thoroughly mixes 
the entire tank, including the tank bottom. 
2. Add the broadleaf herbicide first to the partially fIlled tank while agitating. Add the broadleaf 
herbicide(s) before adding AVENGE SG when using the ASSERT/AVENGE SG or ASSERT

( ( 
SG/AVENGE SG tank mix. NOTE: TO PREVENT MIXING PROBLEMS, TANK MIX 
PARTNERS MUST BE THOROUGHLY MIXED BEFORE ADDING AVENGE SG. 
3. When the broad leaf herbicide is thoroughly mixed, add the AVENGE SG to the partially filled tank 
while continuing agitation. 
4. Continue filling the tank with clean water while maintaining agitation. 
5. After the AVENGE SG is dissolved and thoroughly mixed with the tank mix partners, and the tank 
is full, add the non-ionic surfactant at a rate of 4 pints per 100 gallons (0.5% vol.lvol.) final spray 
solution (See section above for brands requiring greater percentage surfactant). 
6. Allow mixture to agitate and recycle for at least five minutes before spraying. 
7. Agitation must be continued until spraying is completed. 
HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG PLUS ASSERT OR ASSERT SG HERBICIDES 
Follow mixing instructions on the ASSERT or ASSERT SG labels.
