|
||
tact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Prolonged or frequently
|
||
repeated skin contact may cause allergic reaction in some
|
||
individuals.
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
|
||
All mixers, loaders, and applicators and other
|
||
handlers must wear:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
|
||
material such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride
|

|
||
separately from other laundry.
|
||
Engineering Controls Statement
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or
|
||
aircraft 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. Pilots must use cockpits in a manner that meets
|
||
the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard
|
||
(WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6).
|
||
User Safety Recommendations
|
||
Users should:
|
||
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
|
||
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
|
||
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
|
||
inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
|
||
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
|
||
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
DO NOT apply directly to water or to areas where surface
|
||
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high
|
||
water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing
|
||
of equipment washwater or rinsate. DO NOT apply where/
|
||
when conditions could favor runoff.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory Statement: Nicosulfuron is
|
||
known to leach through soil into groundwater under cer-
|
||
tain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may
|
||
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are
|
||
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory Statement: 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
|
||
such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
|
||
potential loading of nicosulfuron 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.
|
||
FIRST AID
|
||
If swallowed
|
||
• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
|
||
• Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
|
||
• DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor.
|
||
• DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
|
||
If on skin or clothing
|
||
• Take off contaminated clothing.
|
||
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes.
|
||
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
|
||
If in eyes
|
||
• Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes.
|
||
• Remove contact lenses, if present, after first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.
|
||
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
|
||

|
||
Ground and Surface Water Protection
|
||
Point source contamination: To prevent point source
|
||
contamination, DO NOT mix, load this pesticide product
|
||
within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and
|
||
drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent
|
||
streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and
|
||
reservoirs. DO NOT apply pesticide product within 50 feet
|
||
of wells. This setback does not apply to properly capped
|
||
or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to imper-
|
||
vious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas as
|
||
described below.
|
||
Environmental Hazards - Ground and
|
||
Surface Water Protection (continued):
|
||
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed
|
||
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
|
||
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight
|
||
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the
|
||
pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface
|
||
water flow over or from the pad.
|
||
The pad capacity must be maintained at 110% that of the
|
||
largest pesticide container or application equipment used
|
||
on the pad and have sufficient capacity to contain all prod-
|
||
uct spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment wash
|
||
waters, and rain-water that may fall on the pad. The con-
|
||
tainment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering
|
||
pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may
|
||
have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead
|
||
setbacks and operational containment.
|
||
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:
|
||
a) back siphoning into wells, b) spills or c) improper dispos-
|
||
al of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates. Check
|
||
valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing
|
||
equipment.
|
||
Movement by surface runoff or through soil:
|
||
DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff.
|
||
DO NOT apply to impervious substrates such as paved or
|
||
highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for
|
||
ground water contamination. Ground water contamination
|
||
may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse
|
||
and ground water is near the surface. DO NOT apply to
|
||
soils classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter
|
||
and where ground water depth is shallow. To minimize the
|
||
possibility of ground water contamination, carefully follow
|
||
application rate recommendations.
|
||
Movement by water erosion of treated soil: DO NOT
|
||
apply or incorporate this product through any type of irri-
|
||
gation equipment nor by flood or furrow irrigation. Ensure
|
||
treated areas have received at least one-half inch rainfall
|
||
(or irrigation) before using tailwater for subsequent irriga-
|
||
tion of other fields.
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles: Celebrity
|
||
® Plus herbicide
|
||
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 mat-
|
||
ter content. Other factors which can affects the movement
|
||
of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of pre-
|
||
vailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and
|
||
drainage patterns. Avoid applying Celebrity Plus if pre-
|
||
vailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site
|
||
movement.
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement: This prod-
|
||
uct is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage
|
||
and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators,
|
||
in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and
|
||
habitat of non-target organisms by following label direc-
|
||
tions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||
Endangered Species Concerns
|
||
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or other-
|
||
wise harm an endangered species or adversely modify
|
||
their habitat is a violation of federal law.
|
||

|
||
I. Product Information
|
||
Celebrity ® Plus herbicide is intended for postemer-
|
||
gence control of a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds and
|
||
grasses in field corn including high lysine, waxy, white, or
|
||
other food-grade corn hybrid’s and popcorn (refer to
|
||
Table 2. Weeds Controlled).
|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Celebrity Plus is composed of three active ingredients
|
||
each with a different mode of action. The dicamba compo-
|
||
nent is a Group 4 (WSSA) herbicide. Herbicides in this
|
||
group mimic auxin (a plant hormone) resulting in a hor-
|
||
mone imbalance in sensitive plants that interferes with
|
||
normal plant growth (e.g. cell division, cell enlargement,
|
||
and protein synthesis). The nicosulfuron (Group 19) com-
|
||
ponent inhibits acetolactate synthase which is a key
|
||
enzyme in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids
|
||
and is the primary component for grass control. The
|
||
diflufenzopyr (Group 2) component is an auxin transport
|
||
inhibitor and it compliments dicamba which is an auxin
|
||
antagonist. Together, these are the primary modes of
|
||
action for broadleaf weed control.
|
||
Weed Resistance Management
|
||
While weed resistance to herbicides is infrequent, popula-
|
||
tions of resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance
|
||
management should be part of a diversified weed control
|
||
strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi-
|
||
cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics.
|
||
Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz-
|
||
er placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and
|
||
timely tillage.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to
|
||
this product, follow these steps where practical:
|
||
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi-
|
||
cide program.
|
||
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
|
||
control during the growing season.
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and
|
||
rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
• Apply full labeled rates of Celebrity Plus for the most
|
||
difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time
|
||
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residu-
|
||
al control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended
|
||
to reduce early season weed competition and allow for
|
||
more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide
|
||
applications.
|
||
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
|
||
action more than twice a season.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or
|
||
shifts in weed species.
|
||
• Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
|
||
(1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled
|
||
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control
|
||
is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of
|
||
non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
(3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of
|
||
the same species.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product
|
||
against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer,
|
||
representative.
|
||
• Any weed population may contain plants naturally resis-
|
||
tant to Group 2, Group 4, and/or Group 19 herbicides.
|
||
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a
|
||
herbicide having a different mode of action and/or use
|
||
non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practi-
|
||
cal, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
• For more information about weeds that are known to be
|
||
resistant to dicamba go to www.Resistance-
|
||
Information.BASF.US.
|
||
Additionally, follow as many of these herbicide resistance
|
||
management practices as is practical:
|
||
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other
|
||
modes of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program.
|
||
• Utilize sequential applications of effective herbicides with
|
||
alternative modes of action.
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product with herbicides having a
|
||
different mode of action.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two applications of Celebrity
|
||
®
|
||
Plus herbicide and any other Group 2, Group 4, or
|
||
Group 19 herbicides within a single growing season
|
||
unless mixed with another site of action with an overlap-
|
||
ping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
• Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or
|
||
extension agent for find out if suspected resistant weeds
|
||
to these sites of action have been found in your region.
|
||
DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being con-
|
||
trolled by multiple mechanisms of action. Co-formulated
|
||
active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum
|
||
of weed control. Some weeds may be controlled by only
|
||
one of the active ingredients in this product.
|
||
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such
|
||
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
|
||
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed
|
||
control program.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before
|
||
and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
|
||
weeds.
|
||
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har-
|
||
vest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF
|
||
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further
|
||
guidance on weed control practices as needed.
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
|
||
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
|
||
manufacturer’s directions and triple rinsing the equipment
|
||
before and after applying this product.
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
Many crops are highly sensitive to Celebrity Plus . All
|
||
direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops
|
||
other than field corn must be avoided. Corn is generally
|
||
very tolerant to application of Celebrity Plus. Temporary
|
||
injury may occur under conditions of crop stress or rapid
|
||
growth. Crop stress can be caused by drought, poor fertili-
|
||
ty, other pesticides (i.e., other herbicides) or foliar damage
|
||
due to hail, wind or insects. Injury can be avoided by agro-
|
||
nomic practices that promote good crop growth and
|
||
minimize stress conditions and especially combinations of
|
||
stress factors. Crop leaning may occur during periods of
|
||
rapid growth, but is usually temporary and dissipates with-
|
||
in 7 days without subsequent yield reduction.
|
||
Corn growing under stress conditions such as drought,
|
||
poor fertility, or foliar damage due to hail, wind or insects,
|
||
can exhibit various injury symptoms that may be more pro-
|
||
nounced if herbicides are applied.
|
||
Soil Insecticide Interaction Information
|
||
Before using Celebrity Plus, ensure that it is compatible
|
||
with any soil insecticides previously applied to the corn
|
||
crop (refer to use advisories given in Table 1.)
|
||

II. Application Instructions
|
||
For best performance, apply Celebrity ® Plus herbicide
|
||
to actively growing grass weeds that are within the height
|
||
ranges specified in Table 2. Refer to Table 2. Weeds
|
||
Controlled for a list of weed species controlled and best
|
||
application timing based on weed size. The most effective
|
||
control will result from making postemergence applications
|
||
of Celebrity Plus early. Delaying application permits
|
||
weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and may lead
|
||
to inadequate control. Applications made to weeds larger
|
||
than those listed on this label may vary from complete
|
||
control to suppression. Level of control will depend on the
|
||
weed species, stage of growth, and environmental
|
||
conditions.
|
||
Due to the unplanned nature of rescue applications,
|
||
choices must be made between the risks that arise from
|
||
applications made beyond the proper time for
|
||
Celebrity Plus use, and the effects of season-long weed
|
||
competition or harvest complications. These choices must
|
||
balance risks from improperly timed Celebrity Plus use
|
||
that includes, but are not limited to:
|
||
• Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates
|
||
competition from dense infestations of foxtail exceeding
|
||
4" tall may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and
|
||
other annual broadleaf weeds and grasses that exceed
|
||
the sizes stated on the label increases the risk of yield
|
||
losses due to prolonged competition with the crop even
|
||
though control may be acceptable.
|
||
• Incomplete control of weeds at growth stages
|
||
beyond labeled size: Applications to weeds that
|
||
exceed the labeled sizes can result in reduced control.
|
||
This incomplete control may reduce corn yield.
|
||
• Incomplete weed control due to herbicide stress:
|
||
Weeds under stress from previous herbicide applications
|
||
may not be actively growing and susceptible to
|
||
Celebrity Plus . This stress may reduce weed control in
|
||
“rescue” situations.
|
||
For later-emerging weeds, a second application at the
|
||
same rate or a timely cultivation may be required.
|
||
Split applications may be made with a minimum of
|
||
15 days between sequential applications of
|
||
Celebrity Plus.
|
||
DO NOT exceed 9.4 ounces of Celebrity Plus per
|
||
treated acre per crop year.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
DO NOT cultivate within 10 days before or 7 days after
|
||
applying Celebrity Plus . Cultivating 7-14 days after appli-
|
||
cation may help control suppressed weeds, weeds beyond
|
||
maximum size at application, or weeds that emerge after
|
||
applying.
|
||
Ground Application (Banding)
|
||
Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions for
|
||
band applications. When applying Celebrity Plus by
|
||
banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water
|
||
volume needed using the following formula:
|
||
Bandwidth in inches x
|
||

Ground Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
(Broadcast)
|
||
Water Volume: Use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray
|
||
solution per acre.
|
||
Application Equipment: DO NOT use flood, hollow
|
||
cone, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA)
|
||
nozzles as erratic coverage can result in inconsistent weed
|
||
control. Refer to the nozzle manufacturer’s directions for
|
||
recommended position of nozzle in respect to the crop.

SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft
|
||
above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica-
|
||
tion 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).
|
||
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wing-
|
||
span for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter
|
||
for helicopters.
|
||
• Applicators must use 1/2 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 NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles
|
||
per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the
|
||
manufacturer, but no more than 3 ft above the ground
|
||
or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or
|
||
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 NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles
|
||
per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
|
||
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles
|
||
per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Spray Drift 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 recommend-
|
||
ed 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 recom-
|
||
mendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
|
||
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the
|
||
airflow in flight.
|
||
Boom Height – Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
|
||
the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications
|
||
Setting the release height at the lowest effective height will
|
||
help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
Release Height – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
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. Tem-
|
||
perature 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 applica-
|
||
tions during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID
|
||
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
|
||
Good weed control is heightened by warm, moist condi-
|
||
tions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture both
|
||
before and after application. The degree and duration of
|
||
control depend on: application rate, weed spectrum, weed
|
||
size, growing conditions before and after treatment, soil
|
||
moisture, precipitation, and adjuvants. Stress affects all
|
||
weeds, but especially weeds such as field sandbur, woolly
|
||
cupgrass, green and yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet.
|
||
If weeds are under stress, delay application of
|
||
Celebrity
|
||
® Plus herbicide until the stress passes and
|
||
weeds begin to grow again.
|
||
Applications made during or immediately after periods of
|
||
extreme day/night temperature fluctuations or where day-
|
||
time temperatures do not exceed 50°F may decrease
|
||
weed control or increase crop injury. If these conditions
|
||
exist, delay application until the temperatures warm and
|
||
both weeds and the crop resume normal growth.
|
||
Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an
|
||
excessive rate directly over the rows and onto the corn leaf
|
||
whorl. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre for
|
||
light, scattered weed stands. Under heavy weed pressure,
|
||
dense crop foliage or moisture stress, increase volume to
|
||
at least 15 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Ground application of Celebrity Plus to dry, dusty fields
|
||
may reduce weed control in wheel track areas.
|
||
Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applica-
|
||
tions made to plants under stress from:
|
||
• abnormally hot or cold weather
|
||
• environmental conditions such as drought, water-
|
||
saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
|
||
• disease, insect, or nematode injury
|
||
• prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year’s herbi-
|
||
cide application
|
||
Delay application until stress passes and both weeds and
|
||
corn resume growth. Severe stress from conditions imme-
|
||
diately following application may also result in crop injury
|
||
or poor weed control.
|
||
As weeds mature, their sensitivity to Celebrity Plus
|
||
decreases. As grassy weeds become mature (more than
|
||
3 tillers), they may be larger than the size listed in Table 2.
|
||
When conditions exist where weeds are maturing rapidly,
|
||
apply Celebrity Plus to weeds that are smaller than those
|
||
listed in Table 2. Susceptible weeds are controlled in
|
||
7-21 days.
|
||
III. Additives
|
||
Applications of Celebrity Plus must include a nonionic
|
||
surfactant and an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Apply 1-2 quarts of NIS per 100 gallons of spray solution
|
||
(0.25-0.5% v/v concentration). Use the higher rate in
|
||
drought conditions to enhance control. At least 50% of the
|
||
surfactant product must be active NIS.
|
||
Avoid products that do not accurately define their ingredi-
|
||
ents. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
|
||
(40 CFR 1001).
|
||
Biodegradable products are encouraged. DO NOT use
|
||
products that change the pH of the spray tank solution.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
Use 1-2 quarts of a high-quality liquid nitrogen fertilizer
|
||
(such as 28-0-0) per acre. In place of liquid nitrogen fertiliz-
|
||
er, 1-2 pounds (or liquid equivalent) of high-quality
|
||
spray-grade ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) per acre may be
|
||
applied.
|
||
DO NOT use liquid nitrogen fertilizers without nonionic
|
||
surfactant.
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizers should not be used as the total
|
||
carrier solution.
|
||
IV. Mixing Information

involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling
|
||
applies to tank mixes.
|
||
Sequential applications should be made if all target weeds
|
||
are not at the correct growth stage for treatment at the
|
||
same time. Refer to section VI. Crop-Specific
|
||
Information for more details on tank mixes and sequen-
|
||
tial applications.
|
||
Mixing with Insecticides
|
||
Celebrity Plus may also be tank mixed with pyrethroid
|
||
insecticides such as Asana
|
||
® or Pounce®, as well as
|
||
carbamate insecticides such as Furadan® and Lannate®.
|
||
Note the tank mix restrictions below for insecticides that
|
||
are not recommended in tank mixes with Celebrity Plus.
|
||
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop
|
||
injury may result from mixing Celebrity Plus with other
|
||
pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or
|
||
miticides), additives, or fertilizers. BASF does not recom-
|
||
mend using tank mixes other than those listed on BASF
|
||
labeling.

|
||
Tank Mix Restrictions and Limitations
|
||
• Celebrity ® Plus herbicide should not be tank mixed
|
||
with foliar- applied organophosphate insecticides such as
|
||
Lorsban®, malathion, parathion, etc. or Ambush® EC
|
||
and Warrior® EC formulations, as severe crop injury
|
||
may occur.
|
||
• Celebrity Plus should not be tank mixed with emulsifi-
|
||
able concentrate (EC) formulations of chloroaceteamide
|
||
grass herbicides (i.e.: Dual II Magnum®, Harness®,
|
||
Outlook®, Surpass®) as crop injury may occur.
|
||
• To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply bentazon-
|
||
containing herbicides (such as Basagran® or
|
||
Laddok® S-12), or organophosphate insecticides at
|
||
least 7 days before or 3 days after applying
|
||
Celebrity Plus.
|
||
• If antagonism occurs, complete control can be obtained
|
||
with either a timely cultivation (see Cultivation) or a sec-
|
||
ond application of Celebrity Plus (refer to Sequential
|
||
Applications in section VI. Crop-Specific
|
||
Information).
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing additives and/or other pesticides, always
|
||
perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per acre
|
||
spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other
|
||
spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water
|
||
from the intended source at the source temperature.
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing
|
||
Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon
|
||
for each pint of recommended label rate per acre.
|
||
Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo-
|
||
nent additions.
|
||
When the components have all been added to the jar, let
|
||
the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for
|
||
uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have
|
||
free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate to
|
||
the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solu-
|
||
tion is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the
|
||
addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is
|
||
then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed
|
||
on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix
|
||
the ingredients in the same tank.
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
When mixing additives and/or other pesticides in a spray
|
||
tank, add the products to be used in the following
|
||
sequence.
|
||
1) Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
|
||
tank three-quarters full of clean water.*
|
||
2) Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mix-
|
||
ing and application.
|
||
3) Products in PVA bags. Place any product contained
|
||
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until
|
||
all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the
|
||
product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
|
||
continuing.
|
||
4) Water-dispersible products (such as Celebrity Plus
|
||
dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concen-
|
||
trates, or suspo-emulsions).
|
||
5) Water-soluble products.
|
||
6) Emulsifiable concentrates.
|
||
7) Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when
|
||
applicable).
|
||
8) Remaining quantity of water.
|
||
Maintain constant agitation during application.
|
||
* If the user prefers to fill the spray tank from a nurse tank containing an
|
||
AMS product dissolved in water, this is acceptable. If this method is
|
||
used, the AMS product must be totally dissolved before adding
|
||
Celebrity Plus. Celebrity Plus must be thoroughly dissolved before
|
||
adding additional products or additives. The user should verify that the
|
||
AMS pre-mix water alternative is compatible with other tank mix
|
||
components.
|
||
V. Restrictions and Limitations
|
||

|
||
tion or 0.125 pound per acre per season.
|
||
• Preharvest Interval: DO NOT apply within 32 days of
|
||
forage harvest. DO NOT apply within 72 days of corn
|
||
grain and stover harvest.
|
||
• Restricted Entry Interval (REI): 24 hours.
|
||
• Crop Failure: In case of crop failure, only field corn, field
|
||
corn grown for seed, or popcorn may be replanted.
|
||
• Stress: Poor weed control or crop injury may result from
|
||
applying Celebrity Plus to plants under stress due to
|
||
lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury,
|
||
mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating temperatures.
|
||
• DO NOT apply to crops that show injury (leaf phyto-
|
||
toxicity or plant stunting) produced by any other prior
|
||
herbicide applications, because this injury may be
|
||
enhanced or prolonged.
|
||
• Rainfastness: For best performance, rainfall or irriga-
|
||
tion should not occur for 4 hours after application.
|
||
• DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation equipment.
|
||
• DO NOT apply Celebrity Plus near desirable trees or
|
||
other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend,
|
||
or in locations where the chemical may be washed or
|
||
moved into contact with their roots.
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
• Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
• In fields infested with Johnsongrass or fields with a previ-
|
||
ous history of corn virus, a corn hybrid with a high
|
||
degree of virus tolerance should be used. Consult your
|
||
local seed corn representative for information on
|
||
virus-tolerant hybrids.
|
||
• DO NOT apply on Long Island in the State of New York.
|
||
Crop Rotation Guidelines:
|
||
• Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentra-
|
||
tions of Celebrity
|
||
® Plus herbicide remaining in the soil.
|
||
(refer to Table 4) Celebrity Plus dissipates rapidly in
|
||
warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||
• The amount of Celebrity Plus which may be present in
|
||
the soil depends on application rate, soil pH and organic
|
||
matter content, elapsed time since application, crop pro-
|
||
duction practices, and environmental factors.
|
||
• Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils
|
||
if dry weather prevails between application and rotational
|
||
crop planting.
|
||
• Soil pH should be determined by laboratory analysis
|
||
using the 1:1 soil:water suspension method on represen-
|
||
tative soil samples taken at 0-4" depth. Soil pH varies
|
||
within fields; therefore, recropping should be based on
|
||
the highest soil pH within each field.
|
||
Consult local extension publications for recommended soil
|
||
sampling procedures.

VI. Crop-Specific Information
|
||
Field Corn
|
||
Celebrity ® Plus herbicide may be used on field corn
|
||
(high lysine, waxy, white or other food-grade corn hybrid’s).
|
||
Apply Celebrity Plus at 4.7 ounces per acre. For best
|
||
performance, apply Celebrity Plus to actively growing
|
||
grass weeds that are within the height ranges specified in
|
||
Table 2.
|
||
Apply Celebrity Plus when corn is 4 to 24" tall (standing
|
||
height). It is recommended to apply Celebrity Plus with
|
||
drop nozzles when corn exceeds 20" tall or has more than
|
||
6 leaf collars (V6), whichever is more restrictive. Avoid
|
||
direct application of spray into the whorl of corn plants.
|
||
Field Corn Tank Mixes
|
||
Celebrity Plus + Accent
|
||
®
|
||
Celebrity Plus: 4.7 ounces
|
||
Accent 75 WG: 0.33-0.67 ounces
|
||
Tank mixes with Accent may be used for additional con-
|
||
trol of grasses in adverse conditions or added suppression
|
||
of grasses past the recommended growth stages at time
|
||
of application. Use the higher rate indicated for added con-
|
||
trol of larger weeds.
|
||
To control difficult annual grasses such as green and yel-
|
||
low foxtail, wild proso millet and sandbur in the western
|
||
U.S. and western areas of the corn belt, 0.33 ounce of
|
||
Accent per acre in addition to Celebrity Plus may be
|
||
required.
|
||
Celebrity Plus + Atrazine
|
||
Celebrity Plus: 4.7 ounces
|
||
Atrazine 4L: 1-3 pints
|
||
or
|
||
Atrazine (i.e. 90 DF): 0.56-1.66 pounds
|
||
Tank mixes with atrazine may be used for additional foliar
|
||
or soil-residual weed control. Use the higher rate indicated
|
||
for extended soil residual control.
|
||
Apply before corn exceeds the 12" (free standing) stage of
|
||
growth.
|
||
Celebrity Plus + Distinct
|
||
®
|
||
Celebrity Plus: 4.7 ounces
|
||
Distinct: 2 ounces
|
||
Tank mixes with Distinct may be used for additional con-
|
||
trol of broadleaf weeds in adverse conditions for added
|
||
control or suppression of broadleaf weeds past the recom-
|
||
mended growth stages at the time of application. Apply
|
||
before corn exceeds the 10" (free standing) stage of
|
||
growth.
|
||
Sequential Applications for Field Corn
|
||
Sequential Applications with Celebrity Plus:
|
||
Annual broadleaf weeds and grasses may have more than
|
||
one flush of emerging seedlings. Also, regrowth of treated
|
||
broadleaf weeds grasses may occur due to adverse
|
||
environmental conditions following application. Perennial
|
||
grasses may regrow from underground stems or roots,
|
||
depending upon environmental conditions.
|
||
To control these weeds under these conditions, a sequen-
|
||
tial application of Celebrity Plus may be necessary. The
|
||
combined dosage of the sequential applications must not
|
||
exceed 9.4 ounces of Celebrity Plus per acre. Sequential
|
||
applications of 4.7 ounces of Celebrity Plus per acre
|
||
must be separated by at least 15 days.
|
||
Sequential Applications with Other Herbicides:
|
||
Celebrity Plus may be applied to corn after use of preplant,
|
||
pre-emergence, or early postemergence herbicides such as:
|
||
Accent, atrazine, Banvel
|
||
®, Bicep II Magnum®, Clarity®,
|
||
Dual II Magnum®, Outlook®, Guardsman Max®,
|
||
Harness®, Marksman®, or other herbicides registered for
|
||
use on corn. A single application of Celebrity Plus may be
|
||
made after using Banvel (up to 1 pint per acre), Clarity (up
|
||
to 16 fluid ounces per acre), or Marksman (up to 3.5 pints
|
||
per acre). Sequential applications with Banvel, Clarity, or
|
||
Marksman must be separated by at least 15 days. A single
|
||
application of Celebrity Plus may be made before or after
|
||
the use of Accent.
|
||
DO NOT exceed a combined rate of 4.7 ounces of
|
||
Celebrity Plus and 0.67 ounce of Accent per acre, per
|
||
season.
|
||
Before applying Celebrity Plus to popcorn, verify the
|
||
selectivity of Celebrity Plus on the popcorn hybrid with
|
||
your local seed company supplier. This precaution will help
|
||
avoid potential injury to sensitive lines.
|
||
DO NOT apply Celebrity Plus to any white popcorn
|
||
inbred or white popcorn hybrid unless specifically
|
||
approved by the seed company. This includes “White
|
||
Dynamite” popcorn. Not all popcorn hybrid’s have been
|
||
tested, nor does BASF have access to all data.
|
||
Consequently, BASF is not responsible for any crop injury
|
||
arising from the use of Celebrity Plus on popcorn.
|
||
Celebrity Plus may be broadcast applied to popcorn that
|
||
is 4" to 20" tall (free standing) or that exhibits up to and
|
||
including 5" leaf-collars (V5), whichever is most restrictive.
|
||
Apply Celebrity Plus at 4.7 ounces per acre. For best
|
||
performance, apply Celebrity Plus to actively growing
|
||
weeds that are within the height ranges specified in
|
||
Table 2.
|
||
DO NOT apply to popcorn that is taller than 20" or that
|
||
exhibits more than 5 leaf collars (V5), whichever is more
|
||
restrictive. Avoid direct application of spray into the whorl
|
||
of popcorn plants.
|
||
For applications to popcorn, DO NOT tank mix any dicam-
|
||
ba, 2,4-D, primisulfuron methyl or nicosulfuron containing
|
||
products with Celebrity Plus. When tank mixing with
|
||
other products, check the tank mix partner label for toler-
|
||
ances and instructions for use.
|
||
DO NOT apply Celebrity Plus to popcorn showing signs
|
||
of stress, whether caused b adverse conditions or previ-
|
||
ous herbicide applications.
