IMPORTANT CROP SAFETY INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
Postemergence applications of ZALO HERBICIDE may be made only to canola, cotton, and soybean resis tant to the active
ingredients in this product. To the extent consistent with applicable law AMVAC does not warrant the use of this product on
canola, cotton, and soybean other than those designated as glufosinate-resistant to safely withstand the application of ZALO
HERBICIDE.
The basis of selectivity of ZALO HERBICIDE in broadleaf crops, including canola, cotton, and soybean is the presence of a gene
which results in canola, cotton, and soybean plants resistant to glufosinate, one of the active ingredients in ZALO HERBICIDE.
Crops not containing this gene conferring tolerance will not be resistant to ZALO HERBICIDE and severe crop injury and/or
death may occur. DO NOT allow spray to contact foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetation other than crops resistant to
the active ingredients in this product.

I. PRODUCT INFORMATION
ZALO HERBICIDE contains both a lipophilic, systemic herbicide (quizalofop-P-ethyl) and a water-soluble, nonselective, contact
herbicide (glufosinate) that controls or suppresses emerged broadleaf and grass weeds in glufosinate-resistant canola, cotton,
and soybean.
ZALO HERBICIDE is absorbed by plant foliage and controls weeds by ACC- ase enzyme inhibition (Group 1) and glutamine
biosynthesis inhibition (Group 10). ZALO HERBICIDE is foliar active with no residual soil activity. Weeds that emerge after
application will not be controlled. Apply to small, actively growing weeds before weeds exceed the maximum stem height or
vine length listed for broadleaf weeds listed in Table 1 and grass weeds listed in Table 2.
ZALO HERBICIDE requires uniform thorough spray coverage. Applications made in warm temperatures, high humidity, bright
sunlight between dawn and 2 hours before sunset will provide optimum activity. Weed control may be reduced if application
is made when heavy dew and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are under stress due to environmental conditions
including drought, extreme heat, cold temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness. Small grass and broadleaf plants may
be completely desiccated within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions. Large grass and broadleaf plants
may not be completely desiccated and may resume growth after application. Total herbicidal activity on broadleaf weeds will
be less than 7 days after application but may take up to 14 days after application for grass weeds.
Susceptible Non-target Plants
DO NOT apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged
or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. D O NOT allow contact of herbicide with foliage, green stems,
exposed non-woody roots of crops, desirable plants; including trees, because severe injury or destruction may result. Small
amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible plants. Most grass crops, when not resistant to
quizalofop-P-ethyl, such as wheat, barley, rye, oat, sorghum, rice, and corn are highly susceptible to ZALO HERBICIDE. Before
making an application, please refer to your states susceptible crop registry (if available) to identify any commercial specialty
or certified organic crops that may be located nearby.
Rainfall or overhead irrigation within 4 hours after application may result in reduced weed contro l.

1 Greatest control when applied to small, actively growing weeds. Drought at and immediately following application will significant ly
decrease ZALO HERBICIDE activity. Applying the maximum rate may not kill stressed weeds. Tank mixing with certain broadleaf herbicides
may result in reduced grass control (see Section V. Tank Mix Information). To prevent reduced grass control, apply ZALO HERBICIDE either
1 day before or 7 days after certain broadleaf herbicides. DO NOT exceed restrictions in Table 4.
2 Quizalofop-P-ethyl does not control Group 1 (ACC-ase) resistant grass biotypes or glufosinate- and quizalofop-P-ethyl- resistant
volunteer corn.
3 Apply before tiller initiation of grasses. Apply the maximum rate listed. Sequential applications may increase control. Allow a minimum
of 7 days after the first application. DO NOT exceed restrictions in Table 4.
Page 8 of 18
Weed Resistance Management
Herbicide resistance has become an important management focus to maximize weed control. Weeds have developed
resistance to many herbicide modes of action. ZALO HERBICIDE contains both a Group 1 (quizalofop-P-ethyl) and a Group 10
(glufosinate-ammonium) herbicide to reduce selection of herbicide resistance in weeds. Any weed population may contain
plants resistant to Group 1 and/or Group 10 herbicides. Resistant plants may dominate weed populations if Group 1 and
Group 10 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. It is recommended to follow effective resistance- management
strategies.
Suspected Resistance
Indicators of suspected herbicide resistance include (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide
and dose applied; (2) a spreading patch of uncontrolled plants of a particular weed species; and (3) surviving plants mixed
with controlled individuals of the same species. Likely resistant weeds are assumed to be present if any of these criteria ar e
met.
Follow as many as possible of the following recommendations to delay herbicide resistance in weeds :
• Rotate the use of ZALO HERBICIDE or other Group 1 and 10 herbicides with herbicides of different groups that control
the same weeds.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance
in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s)
equally as well as the more resistance- prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor
if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
• Users must scout before and after application . Scout field before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be
appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present and scout field after application to detect weed escapes
or shifts in weed species.
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop se eding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• After applying herbicide, scout fields to determine the effectiveness of herbicides and other weed control cultural
or mechanical practices paying particular attention to identify weed profile shift or resistance. If resistance is
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or
by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by
cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean seed.
• Apply the maximum specified labeled use rate of this product for the most difficult to control weed in the field at
the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• If resistance is suspected in targeted weed species, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a mechanism of
action other than group 1 or group 10 and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the
goal of preventing further seed production.
• Any herbicide mode of action classification by itself may not adequately address specific weeds that are resistant to
specific herbicides. Other factors, such as enhanced weed metabolism, may also occur and contribute to weed
resistance. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities
for additional pesticide resistance -management and/or integrated weed -management recommendations for
specific crops and weed biotypes.
• Report any incident of non-performance of this product on a targeted weed species or any suspected resistance to
your retailer or AMVAC representative or call 1-888-462-6822 (AMVAC Customer Support).

Best Management and Stewardship Practices
Adopt a diversified weed management system for best stewardship of ZALO HERBICIDE and for optimum weed control. Best
management practices that diversify weed management include using herbicide treatments with multiple modes of action
(MOA) that are effective on target weeds. Apply herbicides uniformly using proper application, timing, full use -rates and
appropriate spray volumes. Use cu ltural (e.g., crop rotation) and mechanical (e.g., tillage) weed management tactics.
Alternate herbicide-resistant traits and/or use herbicide -resistant trait stacks for more efficient rotation. Correctly identify
weeds and know where the weeds are in your fields. Start with clean fields. Use effective tillage or burndown herbicide
programs to control emerged weeds prior to planting. Clean equipment to prevent the spread of weed seeds between fields.
Use residual herbicides in pre -emergence and early post -emergence applied applications. Scout fields soon after herbicide
application to identify escaped weeds, population shifts, and herbicide resistant biotypes. Closely monitor problematic areas
with difficult -to-control weeds or dense weed populations. Control weed escapes using spot herbicide applications, ro pe
wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed production and accumulation in the
soil bank. Stopping weed seed development will decrease weed populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts.

Apply ZALO HERBICIDE during favorable growing conditions for optimum crop tolerance and weed control. Crops under
environmental stress are more likely to show injury from any herbicide application. Stressed plants treated with ZALO
HERBICIDE may show some transient leaf discoloration. These symptoms are temporary and occur rarely. Crop growth is not
affected. DO NOT apply ZALO HERBICIDE if crop shows injury from prior herbicide applications or environmental stress
(drought, excessive rainfall, temperature extremes, etc.).
Cultivation
Avoid disturbing (e.g., cultivation) treated areas for at least 5 days before and 7 days following an application of ZALO
HERBICIDE to allow maximum h erbicide absorption and weed control. Avoid deep cultivation that will move d ormant weed
seeds into the upper soil zone where seeds may germinate.
Insecticide Information
ZALO HERBICIDE may be used sequentially with soil insecticides or in combination with or sequentially with foliar applied
insecticides registered for use on that crop.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
applications of ZALO HERBICIDE as follows:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any visible
deposits.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal lon of household ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal lons of
water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the
tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and
nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) specified on this label
or to a fallow area. DO NOT exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner
label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved
waste disposal facility.
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or an AMVAC-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout
procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or AMVAC
representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
II. APPLICATION AND MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
ZALO HERBICIDE applied postemergence control s many annual broadleaf and grass weeds and some perennial grasses in
conservation and conventional t illage crop production systems. DO NOT apply ZALO HERBICIDE within 30 feet of a native
Page 10 of 18
plant community. T o the extent consistent with applicable law, t he applicator is responsible for any loss or damage that
results from spraying ZALO HERBICIDE in a manner other than specified in this label. In addition, applicator must follow all
applicable state and local regulations and ordinances regarding spraying.
Spray Coverage
Glufosinate, a contact herbicide , requires thorough uniform coverage of all vegetation to achieve optimum and consistent
control of emerged weeds. Dense leaf canopies can prevent adequate spray coverage resulting in poor weed control.
Quizalofop-P-ethyl, a systemic herbicide , does not require as thorough coverage. The activity of both active ingredients is
optimized when using spray nozzles that produce medium (M) to coarse size (C) droplets (follow the ASABE standards 572.1
shown under spray drift management below). Applying ZALO HERBICIDE with nozzles that produce very coarse (VC),
extremely coarse (XC), or ultra coarse (UC) spray droplets can result in at least a 30% reduction in weed control. DO NOT use
flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, or air -assisted spray equipment.
Application Methods and Equipment
Aerial Application
ZALO HERBICIDE can be applied aerially using a minimum of 10 GPA. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for
additional information on proper application of ZALO HERBICIDE.
Ground Application
Apply ZALO HERBICIDE with properly calibrated ground equipment using a minimum of 15 or more gallons of water per acre
(GPA). A spray volume of 20 GPA is preferred. Use higher water volumes when treating larger weeds and/or dense weed
infestations. ZALO HERBICIDE applications can be made with drop nozzles if the crop canopy prevents adequate weed
coverage when using broadcast applications methods. Apply at ground speed of less than 15 mph to attain adequate
coverage.
After using ZALO HERBICIDE, thoroughly clean spray equipment . See the Cleaning Spray Equipment section of this label for
instructions.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
SPRAY DRIFT
AERIAL APPLICATIONS
• The spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices.
• The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or crop canopy, unless a greater application
height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturers
catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind of the downwind edge of the field.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT
GROUND APPLICATIONS
• Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing, but DO NOT exceed a boom
height of 24 inches above target pest or crop canopy.
• Set boom to lowest effective height over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment manufacturers
directions.
• Automated boom height controllers are recommended with large booms to better maintain optimum nozzle to
canopy height. Excessive boom height will increase the potential for spray drift.
• Select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturers
catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
Page 11 of 18
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
1. Pollinator Advisory - This product contains herbicide s. Follow all label directions and precautions to minimize
potential off-target exposure in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treated site which may
serve as habitat or forage for pollinators.
2. 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.
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. 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! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections
of this label.
Techniques for Controlling Droplet Size:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with 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 penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER CAPACITY NOZZLE
INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
• 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft:
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce
larger droplets than other orientations. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential. Therefore, a shorter boom length is recommended.
• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
Boom Height. Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
Drift Reduction Technology (DRT). The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to encourage the
manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of
DRTs should result in significantly less pesticide from spray applications drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by
those applications, compared to spray technologies that do not meet the minimum DRT standard. EPA-verified drift reduction
technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the following webpage as they become available:
https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift
Page 12 of 18
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
factors including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be
familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing which causes smal l
suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature 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. 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 conditions) indicates an
inversion while 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 preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may also be used in accordance with product labels.
III. ADDITIVES
Postemergence applications of ZALO HERBICIDE require the addition of an adjuvant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to achieve
optimum weed control. When using an adjuvant with this product, selecting an adjuvant that meets the standards of the
Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is advised .
ADJUVANTS:
Use petroleum oil concentrate (COC) adjuvants at 1% v/v (1 gallon/100 gallons of water). Use nonionic
surfactants (NIS) with at least 90% ai at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v. Use MSO (methylated seed oil) adjuvants at 1% v/v or HSOC (high
surfactant oil concentrate) adjuvants at 0.5% v/v. NIS, MSO, and HSOC adjuvants may not be more effective than COC
adjuvants. For adjuvant use when tank-mixing with other herbicides refer to Section V. Tank Mix Information.
AND
NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE: Always add spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 3 lbs/A. A liquid AMS product which
provides an equivalent rate of AMS per acre may be used. Commercial liquid solutions of AMS contain approximately 3.4 lbs
of AMS per gallon.
IV. MIXING ORDER INSTRUCTIONS
ZALO HERBICIDE is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding ZALO HERBICIDE to the spray tank, ensure that the
spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly if a n herbicide with the potential to injure target crops was previously used. It is
the pesticide users 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 foll ow
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
