General Information Poast" 2.0 herbicide is a selective, broad spectrum, post emergence herb'lc'lde for control of annual and perennial grass weeds. Poast 2.0 does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds. Essentially, all grass crops, such as sorghum, corn, small grains, and rice, as well as ornamental grasses, such as turf, are susceptible to Poast 2.0. Mode of Action Poast 2.0 rapidly enters the targel weed through its foliage and translocates throughout the plant. The effects range from slowing or stopping growth (generally within 2 days), to foliage reddening and leaf tip burn. Subsequently, foliage burnback may occur. These symptoms will generally be observed within 3 weeks depending on environmental conditions. Crop Tolerance All labeled crops are tolerant to Poast 2.0 at all stages of growth. Herbicide Resistance Repeated use of Poast 2.0 (or similar postemergence grass herbicides with the same mode of action) may lead to the selection of naturally occurring biotypes . with resistance to these products. If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. Consult your local representative or agricultural advisor for assistance. Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth. Cultivation Do not cultivate within 5 days before or 7 days after 3 .} [Iil applYing Poast 2.0. Cultivating 7 days or later after treatment may help provide season-long control. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean spray equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer's directions before and after applying this product. II. Application Instructions Applications can be made to actively growing weeds as aenal, broadcast, band, or spot spray applications at the rates and growth stages listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3, unless Instructed differently in section VI. Crop-Specific Information. The most effective control will result from making post emergence applications of Poast 2.0 early, when weeds are small. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and may prevent adequate control. Apply Poast 2.0 to the foliage of grasses uniformily and completely because large leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Aerial Application Meth'ods and Equipment Spray Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equlpment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when mak'lng deCisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1 Tne distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2 Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisorv Information. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective wajo-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 Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion section of this label). Controlling Droplet Size Volume - Use high ftow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spay volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. Increase water volume to at least 10 gallons of water per acre if grass foliage or crop canopy is dense.

Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended 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. Use up to 40 psi. Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backward, 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. Use only diaphragm-type nozzles that produce fan spray patterns. Boom Length - For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without oducing swath width. __ ,£plication - Applications should not be made at a c8ight greater than 10 feet above the top of the ~est plants unless a greater height is required for ~,' craft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are rnade with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. 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 drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. Hov"ever, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any 1iven speed. Application should be avoided below 2 /lph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Do not apply Poast" 2.0 herbicide by '~raft when wind is blowing more 10 mph. Note: Joal terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift. Temperature and Humidity When rnaking applications in low relative humidity, set equipment up to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion, because drift potential is high. Temperature irrversions 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 6 6 by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to fonm 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 literally in a connected cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards 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, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Do not apply Poast 2.0 by air if sensitive species are within 200 feet downwind. Ground Application Methods and Equipment (Broadcast) Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target area or when windspeed is greater than 10 mph. Water Volume: Use 5-20 gallons of spray solution. In the West and in the High and Rolling'Plains Region, (see regional descriptions in Tables 1), do not use less than 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Spray Pressure: Use 40-60 psi (measured at the boom, not at the pump or in the line). When crop and weed foliage are dense, use a maximum of 20 gallons of water and 60 psi. Application Equipment: Use standard high-pressure pesticide fiat fan or hollow cone nozzles spaced up to 20" apart. Do not use fiood, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles as erratic coverage can cause inconsistent weed control. When tall weeds such as volunteer corn are to be controlled, the boom should be high enough to cover the entire plant. Refer to the nozzle manufacturer's directions for recommended height. When a crop such as cotton is 24" or taller and the grasses are below the crop canopy, use drop nozzles to ensure good coverage of the grass species. Do not use selective application equipment such as recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators. Ground Application (Banding) Poast 2.0 may be applied by banoing to control annual grasses. Banding is not recommended for perennial grasses. -_ Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions for band applications. When applying Poast 2.0 by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed using the following formula: Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide Row width in inches per acre rate per acre Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast _ Banding water Row width in inches volume per acre - volume per acre -) / "S t
Spot or Small Area Application Do not make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or band treatments. When using knapsack sprayers or high-volume spray equipment with hand guns or other suitable nozzle arrangements, prepare a 1-1.5% solution of Poast4' 2.0 herbicide in water unless otherwise specified under specific crops. Use a concentration of 0.5% for Dash" HC and Sundance" HC spray adjuvants, or 1 % for oil concentrate. Prepare the desired volume of spray solution by mixing the amount of Poast 2.0 and the amount of Dash HC, Sundance HC or oil concentrate in water according to Tables 5 and 6. Rescue Treatment for Controlling Selected Annual Grasses If Poast 2.0 cannot be applied at the recommended time, larger annual grasses may be controlled Vlith a later aoplicatim by increasing the rate of Poast 2.0 (see Table 3). Do not exceed the maximum rate per acre, per season, for specific crops (see Table 7). III. Additives To acnieve consistent weed control, always use one of the fc!lowing additives: Dash HC, Sundance HC, meth'lated/modified seed oil, or crop oil concentrate. In addition, urea ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfa;s is recommended for use on alfalfa, beans, cotten, nax, peanuts, peas, potatoes, soybeans, Poast Protected- field corn, sugarbeets, and sunflowers to enhance activity on certain grass spec:es. See Table 4. Additive Rates Per Acre for more information, However, when used in many vegetable crops under the following conditions, Poast 2.0 plus adjuvants should be used with caution due to potential crop leaf injury: when the temperature exceeds 90 0 F and the relative humidity is 60% or greater, or anytime the temperature exceeds 100 0 F, regardless of the humidity. Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, rinse the entire spray system with water soon after Table 5. Spot Treatment Dilution 7 ,. J,5 use. UAN and AMS are not recommended in &:;e Pacific Northwest and are not registered in California. Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authority for more information on the use of additives. Dash He, Sundance HC, Crop Oil Concentrate, or Methylated Seed Oils A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following criteria: • be nonphytotoxic, • contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, • provide good mixing quality in the jar test. and • be successful in locai experience, The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For more information, see Compatability Test for Mix Components, For most crops, Dash" HC or Sundance" HC spray adjuvant may be substituted for crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil; however, for some crops and tank mixes, Dash HC, Sundance HC and MSO are not recommended, (See section VI. Crop-Specific Information for more information,) Nitrogen Source ·Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN): Commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution}, UAN may be used in addition to Dash HC, Sundance HC, or crop oil concentrate to improve weed control.

-Ammonium Sulfate lAMS): AMS per acre may be
substituted for UAN. When liquid AMS is used, 3.0
quarts of 8-8-0 analysis may be substituted for 2.5
pounds of dry AMS. Use high-quality AMS (spray
grade) to avoid plugging of nozzles. Other sources
of nitrogen are not as effective as those
mentioned. If the AMS is added directly to the
spray tank, add slowly while agitating. Adding the
mix too quickly may clog outlet lines. Be sure the
AMS is completely dissolved before adding any
other products. BASF does not recommend
applying AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per
acre because of potential problems with
precipitation in reduced volumes.
UAN and AMS are not registered in California.

Read and fOllow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions For Use on all products involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Separate applications should be made if all target weeds are not at the labeled growth stage for treatment at the same time. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing Poast 2,0 with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. BASF does not recommend using tank mixes other than those listed on BASF labeling. Local agricultural authorities may be a source of information when using other than BASF recommended tank mixes. 10 Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perfonm 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 component 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 solution 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
- Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of dean water.
- Agitation, Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
- 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.
- Water-dispersible products (such as dry ftowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
- Water-soluble products. If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
- Emulsifiable concentrates (such as Poast 2.0 or oil concentrate when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
- Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
- Remaining quantity of water. Maintain constant agitation during application. '- /? 'j IK

Sunflower Commercially releaSed varieties of sunflower are tolerant to Poast 2.0 at all stages of growth; however, leaf speckling has been occasionally observed on sunflowers with no corresponding reduction in vigor or growth. Poast 2.0 is not recommended for use on sunflower inbred lines grown for seed because crop safety of these lines has not been adequately established. Processed meal and soapstock may be fed to animals. Tobacco Not registered in California. Apply Poast 2.0 only at the seedbed stage of growth. 13 /'1 I! 6/ Forage Crops Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Clover, Sainfoin Poast 2.0 may be applied to seedling or established aI.falla and .clover grown for hay. silage, green chop, direct grazing, or for seed. Mowing: The best control of annual grasses can be achieved by applying Poast 2.0 before grass weeds are mowed. Once a grass is mowed it becomes tougher to control. as much of the leaf surface may be removed. putting the grass under stress. In areas without a killing frost. some annuals can over-winter after having been mowed a number of times. These grasses can form large crowns and contain many Viable buds. A large crown. even if it is an annual grass. may require repeated applications of Poast 2.0 for partial or complete control. Tank Mixing in Alfalfa. Birdsfoot Trefoil & Sainfoin Only Poast 2.0 may be applied in a tank mix with one of the following herbicides: 1'2.4-08 Tank Mix Specific Restrictions Do not add UAN solution or AMS to a tank mix of Poast 2.0 + 2,4-DB. Do not use Poast 2.0 + 2,4-0B in the High and Rolling Plains of Texas, Western Oklahoma. Western Kansas. and Eastern New Mexico. IRRIGATED ALFALFA. CLOVER. BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. AND SAINFOIN: Irrigation practices can be very critical to the successful use of Poast 2.0 and may be necessary to start grass weeds growing again. Generally. applications 2-4 days after an irrigation are most effective because: • grasses resume active growth, • grasses have less chance to grow too large. • by waiting later, the clover or alfalfa begins to canopy and interferes with spray coverage. Irrigation shortly after application (2 days) can be effective. but more consistent grass control is obtainec when the irrigation is made before the application. Annual Grass Control Apply Poast 2.0 at the grass sizes and rates indicated in Tables 1 and 3. If a grass has been cut. apply Poast 2.0 after the regrowth reaches the minimum height (so thgre will be enough leaf area for absorption) and before it"exceeds the maximum height indicated. Apply before the clover or alfalfa canopies cover the grasses and interfere with the spray coverage. Also, applications after a clover or alfalfa cutting may need to be timed to follow an irrigation or rainfall which will allow the grasses to regrow to a treatable size. Some annual grasses are spring- and summer germinating plants. while others are fall-germinating plants, and the time they are actively growing and most susceptible to Poast 2.0 may vary from area to area. Also. some annuals germinate over a long time, and because control of small grasses is desired, applications after each weed flush may be needed. As a general guideline. spray spring· and summer germinating grasses as earty in the season as
possible. The optimum application timing may occur
very early in the spring after initial green-up. Spray fall
germinating weeds in the fall soon after they begin
growing but before any killing frosts. Late fall
applications may be less effective due to
environmental changes, such as frosts or the onset of
fiowering.
Perennial Grass Control
Poast" 2.0 herbicide effectively controls or
suppresses perennial grasses, such as
Bermudagrass, johnsongrass, quackgrass, wirestem
muhly, and perennial ryegrass. See Table 2. However,
their growth characteristics are such that they are
more difficult to control than annual grasses,
especially in a perennial crop such as established
alfalfa or clover. A program of repeated applications is
usually necessary for best results.
The most economical way of controlling perennial
grasses is to do so in the year of s:and establishment
before rhizomes or stolons becorra large and difficult
to kill. The field should be disked cefore seeding to
thoroughly fragment rhizomes or scolons.
In summer and fall seedings, cool season grasses
\uackgrass, wire stem muhly, and perennial ryegrass)
dan become very competitive uncer cool fall
V1ditions. Fall applications of Poast 2.0 will reduce
8 season grass growth and lim,; the ability of
grasses to accumulate nutrient reserves in roots and
rhizomes.
In established stands, it is importa1t to begin applying
in the spring when conditions faver active growth and
before storage tissues have increased their nutrient
reserves. Additional applications should be made on
any grass regrowth in later cuttings. .
Interseeded Oats
Oats interseeded with clover, alfalfa. birdsfoot trefoil,
and sainfoin may be killed by app;Ying Poast 2.0.
Their removal allows the seedling :rops to grow with
less competition. This application should be made
before the interseeded oats reac,ces the boot stage or
later to be most effective.

killed by Poast 2.0, therefore, do not use Poast 2.0 if
injury to these grass cover crops is undesirable.
Seeded grass cover crops may be injured or killed.
Restrictions and Limitations (partial list)
Do not harvest or graze cover crops other than alfalfa,
clover, birdsfoct trefoil, or sainfoin trated with Poast
2.0. ~
Do not plant any other crop to be harvested for 120
days after application, unless Poast 2.0 is registered
for use in that crop.
This use is applicable only for the Midwest, South,
and Northeast areas_or East of the Rocky Mountains
(see maps in Table 1).
For alfalfa cover crops, do not apply Poast 2.0 within
7 days of grazing, feeding, or cutting for (undried)
forage, or within 14 days of cutting alfalfa for (dry) hay.
For alfaifa cover crops, do not apply more than a total
of 78 ftuid ounces of Poast 2.0 per acre in one
season.
) Poast" 2.0 herbicide may be applied in a tank mix with one of the following herbicides: ~ClantY* oRoundup UltraS Marksman" 02,4-0 Interseeded Cover Crops Poast 2.0 Activity on the Cover Crop Grass cover crops controlled or suppressed by this use include wheat. oats. and barley, or any grass crop for which Poast 2.0 is labeled. Poast 2.0 will selectively control grass cover crops in seedling nongrass or broadleaf field, forage, or vegetable crops without Injury. In addition, Poast 2.0 will control any annual grasses that have emerged since planting. The slow-dying grass can provide a protective mulch for the primary crop seedlings for up to 3 weeks after applying Poast 2.0. Apply Poast 2,0 to cereals that are 3-4" in height (before tillering). Do not allow cereals to exceed this height as excessive competition and lack. of control may occur. Noncrop Areas Deciduous Trees, Nonfood Crop Areas, Fallow Land DECIDUOUS TREES. NONFOOD CROP AREAS, FALLOW LAND: Poast 2.0 may be used in noncrop areas including rights-ai-ways, roadsides and other paved areas, along fences and hedgerows, public buildings, recreation areas, industrial sites, storage yards, airports, electric transformer stations, pipeline pumping stations, sewage disposal areas, on potting and top soils, uncultivated agricultural areas, and general indoor or outdoor sites. Poast 2.0 is not recommended for use on red sprangletop in California, Arizona or western New Mexico. Notice to user: Due to variability within species and in application techniques, neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined whether or not Poast 2.0 can be salely used on all varieties and species of nonbearing food crops, and other nonfood crops under all conditions. Therefore, determine if Poast 2.0 can be used safely before broad use in the following manner: On a small test area, apply the recommended rate of Poast 2.0 on nonbearing or nonfood crop speCies or varieties under the conditions expected to be encountered. Any adverse conditions should' be visible within 7 days. TALL FESCUE GROWTH SUPPRESSION: (Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia only) Apply Poast 2.0 to actively growing tall fescue after it has 4-6 inches of new growth, before the emergence of seedheads and before conifer bud break. Applications made from July 1 to mid-August may be less effective, especially if day temperatures reach 90° F. Tall fescue must be 1-year old before the first application of Poast 2.0. 15 /5 'j Ie: Adequate coverage of the leaf surface is necessary for absorption of this herbicide. Thus, for optimum control, do not mow tall fescue turf for 30 days before or 14 days after applying Poast 2.0. Rate: Apply 12-15 fluid ounces of Poast 2.0 per acre. For greater fescue suppression, up to 30 fluid ounces of Poast 2.0 per acre can be used. Because of environmental differences at application and growth differences of tall fescue, control may exceed or fall short of that desired. Begin treating crops with Poast 2.0 at the minimum recommended rate and adjust rates as local conditions and experience dictate. Additional applications may be made if extended growth suppression is desired. ORCHARD FLOOR MIDDLES: Growth Management In Orchard Floor Middles Poast 2.0 may be applied in a tank mix with one of the following herbicides: ~,4-D amine Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 dimethylamine can be used in a tank mix for growth management in orchard floor middles to reduce the number of mechanical mowings needed during a season. Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 dimethylamine can be safely applied for growth management in the following cool season grasses and mixtures: Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue. Some degree of discoloration of the turf may occur. However, the turf will regrow and green up as effects of the treatment wear off. Make one application per season from the following options: o Poast 2.0 and 2,4-0 dimethyl amine can be applied during the spring or summer when growth management is desired. Do not apply during bloom or within 3 days of a mowing. • An optimal timing for application is after sod green up in the spring (before any mowing) or 3 days after the initial mowing of the season is made. o A prebloom treatment is recommended as any broadleaf weeds such as dandelions can be controlled before they hamper fruit pollination. This treatment will provide 5-8 weeks of growth management depending on the sod makeup (e.g., grass species, amount of broadleaf weeds present, etc.). environmental conditions and the desired maintenance height of the middles. See section III. Additives, Mixing Order for details. Tank Mix Specific Restrictions Make no more than 1 application of this tank mix per growing season. _ Do not apply if rainfall or Irrigation is expected within 6 hours after application as growth management effects will probably be unsatisfactory. Do not apply to a grass sad that is less than 2 years old. Do not apply to newly established orchards. Trees must be at least 1 year old and in vigorous condition. Do not apply this tank mix within 14 days of harvest of apples and pears. Do no! apply this tank mix to nonbearing stonefruits within one year of harvest. Not registered for use in California.
Vegetable Crops Allow a minimum of 14 days between sequential applications. Always add oil concentrate at 2 pints per acre. However, when the temperature exceeds gO°F and the relative humidity is 60% or greater, or anytime the temperature exceeds 100" F, regardless of the humidity, Poast" 2.0 herbicide plus adjuvants should be used with caution due to potential leaf injury. Celery In Florida, celery may be harvested as close as 14 days of the last application. Horseradish Not for use in C3!ifornia.
