Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Waterproof gloves • Shoes plus socks Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Engineering Controls When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air- craft 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.

Environmental Hazards For terrestrial uses, 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. Bentazon, which is present in this product, is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain condi- tions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Bentazon can affect non-target plant species outside the treatment area. To limit adverse effects to non-target plants, the applicator must avoid making applications when wind can facilitate off-site movement of bentazon in direc- tions of areas such as forested areas, riparian areas, wetlands, and areas that serve as habitat for desirable and protected animal species. It is a violation of federal law to use any pesticide in a man- ner that results in the death of an endangered species or in adverse modification of their habitat. Pollinator Advisory Statement. This product may adversely impact the forage and habitat of local pollinators, including the monarch butterfly (and its larvae), birds, or bats if it reaches non-target areas. Protect pollinators by following label directions to minimize spray drift. Directions For Use It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man- ner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during applica- tion. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 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. 2 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 to 20 minutes. • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Product Information Basagran® herbicide is intended for selective postemergence control of certain broadleaf weeds and sedges in alfalfa grown for seed, beans, clover grown for seed, corn, nonbearing foods crops, peanuts, peas, peppermint, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and spearmint. Basagran does not control grasses. Mode of Action Bentazon, the active ingredient in Basagran, is a Group 6 (WSSA) herbicide belonging to the benzothiadiazinone chemistry class. Basagran inhibits photosynthesis at photosystem II site B resulting in symptoms of chlorosis that progresses to necrosis and control of emerged weeds. Herbicide Resistance Management Basagran is a Group 6 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Basagran and other Group 6 herbicides. Weed species with resistance to Group 6 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 6 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same area or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Basagran or other Group 6 herbicides. To delay herbicide resistance consider: • Avoiding the consecutive use of Basagran or other target- site-of-action Group 6 herbicides that have a simi- lar target site of action on the same weed species. • Using tank mixes or premixes with herbicides from differ- ent target-site-of-action groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have differ- ent sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern. • Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program including cultural and mechanical methods. • Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field effi- cacy, and control of escapes with effective alternative herbicides or mechanical methods. • Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed- control program needs to consider all of the weeds present. • Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. • Scout fields after application to verify the treatment was effective. • Suspected herbicide-resistance weeds may be identified by these indicators:

1. Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if con- trol is achieved on adjacent weeds;
2. A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a partic- ular weed species; and
3. Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your local BASF rep- resentative. • Contacting your local extension specialist, and/or manu- facturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management directions for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. Crop Tolerance All labeled crops are tolerant to Basagran. Leaf speckling or bronzing may occur, but plants generally outgrow this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. Application Instructions Apply Basagran postemergence to small, actively growing weeds early in the season for the most effective control as broadcast, band, or spot spray applications. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the specified maxi- mum size and will prevent adequate control. Apply the specified rates of Basagran to actively growing weeds before they reach the maximum sizes listed in Table 1. Application Rates and Weeds Controlled in All Crops Except Rice, in Table 3. Application Rates and Weeds Controlled in Rice - Flooded Fields, and in Table 4. Application Rates and Weeds Controlled in Rice - Drained Fields. Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth because weeds growing under drought conditions usually are not satisfac- torily controlled. 4

Cultivation DO NOT cultivate within 5 days before applying or within 7 days after applying Basagran® herbicide. Timely culti- vation after 7 days may help provide season-long weed control. Application Methods and Equipment Basagran may be applied by ground or air. Thorough spray coverage is required for optimum control of emerged weeds and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection. Use and configure application equipment for adequate spray volume, accurate and uni- form distribution of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to non-target areas. Adjust equip- ment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above use rates specified in this label. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage. Early season application to small weeds makes thorough spray coverage easier to obtain. Aerial Application Requirements Water Volume. Use a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons of water per acre. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never point downward more than 45 degrees. Avoid potential adverse effects to non-target areas by maintaining a 20-foot buffer between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Special Directions for Aerial Application • DO NOT apply Basagran by air if sensitive crops (such as cotton, sugar beets, sunflowers, or okra) are within 200 feet downwind. Ground Application Requirements Water Volume. Use a minimum spray volume of 10 gal- lons of water per acre to ensure adequate spray coverage. Use higher spray volume (up to 20 gallons of water per acre) to improve spray coverage when crop and weed foliage is dense. Avoid potential adverse effects to non-target areas by maintaining a 10-foot buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Special Directions for Ground Application • DO NOT use flood, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles or selective application equip- ment such as recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators. • DO NOT use brass nozzles because of the corrosive effects of nitrogen additives.

Spray Drift Advisories It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at the application site, especially onto non-target areas. 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 the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the envi- ronmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLY- ING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVI- RONMENTAL CONDITIONS. See Wind; Temperature and Humidity; and Temperature Inversion sections of this label. Mandatory Spray Drift Management Aerial Applications • When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • Applicators are required to select nozzles that deliver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ANSI/ASABE S641 May 2018. • When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, 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. • When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, applicators must use 1/2 swath displace- ment 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 mph at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Ground Boom Applications • When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 ft above the ground or crop canopy applications. • Applicators are required to select nozzles that deliver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ANSI/ASAE S572.3 Feb 2020. • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 5

Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • 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 recommend- ed 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 noz- zles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back pro- duce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential. Therefore a shorter boom length is recommended. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will pro- duce larger droplets than other orientations. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. • 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 speci- fied) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 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 Inversion Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small 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 appli- cator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying Basagran ® herbicide. Runoff Prevention To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems. 6

Application Rates and Weeds Controlled in Rice - Drained Fields in the Crop-specific Information section. 1 DO NOT treat earlier than leaf stage shown, and DO NOT count cotyledon leaves. 2 Use crop oil concentrate (COC) or COC plus urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). 3 For regrowth or new germination, a second application of Basagran may be necessary. 4 DO NOT treat rosette before seed stalk appears. 5 Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia - Make a second application 7 to 14 days later. For all other states, apply 2 to 3 pints of Basagran per acre to annual morningglory plants not larger than 4 true leaves. Control may be partial or inconsistent. 6 Always use UAN or ammonium sulfate (AMS) as spray additive. 7 Basagran does not control black nightshade or Eastern black nightshade. 8 See the Special Directions for Problem Weeds section. 8

Additives To achieve consistent and optimum weed control, one of or a combination of the following additives listed in Table 2. Additive Rates must be added to the spray tank. Additives may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and tempera- ture are high. When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such as a drift control agent) is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. See Table 2. Additive Rates. Applicators must use the additive(s) that will provide the best performance suited for their geography, target weed and environmental conditions.

1 Petroleum-based or vegetable seed-based crop oil concentrate may be used. The oil concentrate must be nonphytotoxic, contain only EPA- exempt ingredients, provide good mixing quality in a jar test, and be successful in local experience. The exact composition of suitable prod- ucts will vary; however, petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils are more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. To determine the suitability of oil concentrates with Basagran ® herbicide, conduct a jar test (see Tank Mixing Information section). 2 Methylated seed oil is recommended when weeds are under moisture or temperature stress. 3 UAN may be added in place of other spray additives to improve control of cocklebur, devilsclaw, Pennsylvania smartweed, velvetleaf, Venice mallow, wild mustard, and wild sunflower. Basagran plus a nitrogen solution will not provide adequate control of common ragweed and common lambsquarters. If these weeds or other weeds requiring oil con- centrate are present in addition to velvetleaf, then oil concentrate should also be used. Tank Mixing Information Additives and/or other pesticides may be mixed in the spray tank with Basagran according to the specific tank mixing instructions in this label and respective product labels. See Crop-specific Information for more details. 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. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing Basagran with other pesti- cides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers not specified on this label. Jar Test to Estimate Oil Concentrate Suitability Water Supply - Use only water from the intended source at the source temperature. Water Spray Volume - For a spray volume of 20 gallons per acre, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust proportionately. Herbicide and Oil Concentrate - Add 2 teaspoons each of herbicide and oil concentrate for each 2 pints per acre of label rate. Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled rate per acre. Cap jar, invert 10 cycles between component additions, let stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate - An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform. The suitability of the oil concentrate is questionable if any of the following are observed: • Free oil at the surface - Film or globules • Flocculation - Fine particles which may be suspended in the liquid or found as a precipitated layer at the bottom of the jar • Clabbering -Thickening texture (coagulated) resembling yogurt or a curd-like texture as with cottage cheese Mixing Order

1. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 2/3 full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Agitation - Maintain agitation throughout mixing.
3. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.
4. 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.

Maintain constant agitation throughout application until spraying is complete. Application Restrictions • DO NOT apply to weeds under stress such as lack of moisture, herbicide injury, mechanical injury, or cold tem- peratures, or unsatisfactory control may result. • DO NOT apply to crops subjected to stress conditions such as hail damage, flooding, drought, injury from other herbicides, or widely fluctuating temperatures, or crop injury may result. • DO NOT apply to crops that show injury (leaf phytotoxici- ty or plant stunting) produced by any other prior herbicide applications because this injury may be enhanced or prolonged. • Rainfast period: Rainfall or overhead irrigation within 4 hours after application may reduce the effectiveness of Basagran ® herbicide. • DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation system. Crop-specific Information This section provides use directions for Basagran in spe- cific crops. Read product information, mixing, application, weeds controlled, and additive instructions in the preced- ing sections of the label. Always read and follow all label directions when using this product alone, or when in tank mix combinations. The most restrictive labeling applies when using tank mixes. Alfalfa Grown for Seed For use ONLY in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming. Seed alfalfa is tolerant to postemergence applications of Basagran, however some leaf speckling, leaf bleaching or whitening, and temporary stunting may occur under certain conditions. Applications made at or after flower bud forma- tion may reduce seed yields. Apply Basagran in the spring as a broadcast postemer- gence application at rates up to 2 pints per acre to alfalfa with at least 2 trifoliate leaves, but with no flower bud for- mation. If needed for additional control of troublesome weeds, make a second application 7 to 14 days later at the same use rate. The addition of oil concentrate (see Additives section for details) to Basagran on seed alfalfa may result in slight leaf burn or temporary stunting, but all new growth is normal. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high. A few oil concentrates have exhibited excessive leaf burn. Refer to your supplier of Basagran for information concerning successful local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply Basagran if alfalfa shows injury (leaf phy- totoxicity and/or plant stunting) produced by any other prior herbicide applications because this injury may be enhanced and/or prolonged. • For use only in fields of alfalfa grown for seed production. • DO NOT use on alfalfa produced for livestock feed. • DO NOT use Basagran-treated alfalfa seed for sprouting. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 2 pints (1.0 pound of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 7-day period. Special Crop Use Restrictions The pesticide applicator, the producer of the crop, and the seed conditioner must be aware that use of this product according to this labeling is deemed a nonfeed/nonfood use. If the applicator of this pesticide is not the producer, the applicator should provide a copy of this labeling to the producer of the crop. Producers of this crop who use this product, or cause the product to be used on a field they operate, should provide a copy of this pesticide label to the seed conditioner. This pesticide does not have an established pesticide residue tolerance for alfalfa. Consequently, no portion of this alfalfa seed crop, including but not limited to, forage or stubble, green chop, hay, pellets, meal, whole seed, cracked seed straw, or seed screenings, may be used or distributed for human food or animal feed purposes. Any alfalfa seed from a field treated with this product must bear a specific tag or conspicuous container labeling, or if shipped in bulk, on the shipment invoice or bill of lading, with the following statement: “Not for human or animal consumption”. All seed screenings from seed processing shall be disposed of in such a manner that the screenings cannot be distributed or used for human food or animal feed purposes. Beans, Dry and Succulent Bean types tolerant to Basagran are adzuki, navy, pinto, pink, great northern, kidney, red, white, cranberry, black turtle soup, small lima, large lima, and snap beans. Apply Basagran to beans after the first trifoliate leaf has fully expanded. Even at the tolerant stages, yellowing, bronzing, speckling or burning of leaves may occur under certain conditions. This temporary injury is generally outgrown without delaying podset or maturity or reducing yield. Applying Basagran with an oil concentrate (COC or MSO) may increase crop injury (i.e., increase leaf burn) and may reduce yields, especially for snap beans. State-specific Instructions for Georgia and South Carolina. DO NOT apply Basagran as a solo treatment to dry and succulent beans or severe crop injury may occur. Basagran may be applied from 6 to 16 fluid 10

ounces per acre to dry and succulent beans only when tank mixed with Raptor® herbicide or Pursuit® herbicide. Refer to the Raptor and Pursuit labels for additional use directions or restrictions. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply Basagran® herbicide to beans before the first trifoliate leaf is fully expanded because severe crop injury may occur. • DO NOT apply Basagran to garbanzo beans or lupines at any stage of growth, or severe crop injury may occur. • DO NOT apply Basagran to dry or succulent beans within 30 days of harvest. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 3 pints (1.5 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period.

Apply Basagran to peas after three pairs of leaves (or 4 nodes) are present. Even at the tolerant stages, yellow- ing, bronzing, speckling, or burning of leaves may occur under certain conditions. This temporary injury is generally outgrown without delaying podset or maturity or reducing yield. In western irrigated areas, avoid applying Basagran during prolonged periods (for 2 to 5 days) of cold weather (day temperature below 75° F and night temperature below 55° F) because weed control may be nullified. State-specific Instructions for Georgia and South Carolina. DO NOT apply Basagran as a solo treatment to dry and succulent peas or severe crop damage may occur. Basagran may be applied from 6 to 16 fluid ounces per acre to dry and succulent peas only when tank mixed with Raptor ® herbicide or Pursuit® herbicide. Refer to the Raptor and Pursuit labels for additional use directions or restrictions. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply Basagran to dry peas within 30 days or to succulent peas within 10 days of harvest. • DO NOT apply Basagran to peas under stress from root rot. • DO NOT apply Basagran to garbanzo beans or to lupines at any stage of growth, or severe crop injury may occur. • DO NOT apply Basagran when peas are in bloom. • DO NOT add oil concentrate to Basagran for use on peas, except for use in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). • Infurrow treatments of insecticides or nematicides may predispose the peas to injury from Basagran. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 3 pints (1.5 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period. Tank Mixtures Basagran may be applied in a tank mix with one of the following herbicides: • Pursuit • Raptor • Reflex ® herbicide • Thistrol® herbicide • MCPA The Basagran + Thistrol tank mix is for use in the north- eastern states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and in the mid-Atlantic states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and in the Pacific northwest- ern states of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Apply this tank mix after the 3-leaf stage (4-node stage) of peas, but not later than 3 nodes before pea flowering. NOTICE TO USER: Because of variability among pea cul- tivars and in application techniques, neither the manufacturers nor the sellers have determined whether or not the tank mix of Basagran + Thistrol can be safely used on all pea crops under all conditions. Therefore, determine if the tank mix of Basagran + Thistrol can be used safely before broad use. For improved control of pigweed species and common lambsquarters, apply a tank mix of Basagran + MCPA. Tank Mix Restrictions • DO NOT use oil concentrate, other oil-based additives, or any other spray additives or surfactants with these tank mixes. • DO NOT apply the tank mix to peas when temperatures exceed 90º F. • DO NOT apply the tank mix to peas after pea flower buds appear. • Other crops, in particular beans, cotton, grapes, toma- toes, and ornamental plants, may be severely injured by off-target spray drift of Thistrol.

Peanuts Apply Basagran® herbicide from peanut cracking through pegging. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT graze treated peanut fields for at least 50 days after the last Basagran treatment. • Basagran treated peanut hay and forage may be fed to livestock. • Infurrow treatments of insecticides and nematicides may predispose peanuts to injury from Basagran. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 3 pints (1.5 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period. Tank Mixtures Basagran may be applied in a tank mix with one of the following herbicides: • Cadre® herbicide • Outlook® herbicide • Poast® herbicide • Pursuit® herbicide • Cobra® herbicide • ET® herbicide/defoliant • Gramoxone® Inteon herbicide • Ultra Blazer® herbicide • 2,4-DB amine Apply the Basagran + Gramoxone Inteon tank mix at the ground crack stage of peanuts to control an early flush of weeds. Apply a second application up to 28 days after ground crack stage. Always add NIS at the recommended rates to the Basagran + Gramoxone Inteon tank mix. DO NOT use an oil concentrate or any other oil-based additive with the Basagran + Gramoxone Inteon tank mix. Basagran may be tank mixed with foliar fungicides such as Headline ® SC fungicide and Priaxor® fungicide. Tank Mix Restrictions • DO NOT include UAN solution or AMS with Basagran + Ultra Blazer + Poast tank mix. • DO NOT add oil concentrate, UAN, or any other additives to Basagran + 2,4-DB tank mix. • Use only amine formulations of 2,4-DB. Rice Apply Basagran early postemergence in rice, at the use rates specified in and before weeds exceed the maximum size listed in Table 3 and Table 4. Alternate Flooding Culture In Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, weed growth stages generally correspond to rice that is tillering (stooling) and occur before the permanent flood. Basagran must be applied when there is no water on the field and 24 hours or more before flooding. If Basagran cannot be applied until after flooding, see directions under Continuous Flooding Culture. Continuous Flooding Culture In states using continuous flooding culture, or when treat- ing after the permanent flooding, treatment must be made only when weeds are above the surface of the water. Weeds submerged at the time of application will not be adequately controlled. For early treatment, water may be partly or completely drained to expose more weed growth to spray applications of Basagran. DO NOT raise water level for at least 24 hours after application or unsatisfactory control may result. DO NOT use ground equipment to apply to flooded fields because splashing will wash Basagran off weed leaf surfaces and ineffective control may result. Crop-specific Restrictions • Rice straw may be fed to livestock. • DO NOT use Basagran on rice fields in which the com- mercial cultivation of catfish or crayfish is practiced. • DO NOT use water containing Basagran residues from rice cultivation to irrigate crops used for food or feed unless Basagran is registered for use on these crops. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per year whether one or two rice crops (including ratoon) are grown that year (season). • DO NOT apply more than a total of 2 pints (1.0 pound of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period. • DO NOT release paddy water from Basagran treated fields for at least 4 days after last application to flooded paddies. 13

Sorghum, Grain and Forage Apply Basagran postemergence to sorghum (sorghum in this label refers to grain and forage sorghum). Before applying Basagran to sorghum, verify the selectivity of Basagran on your inbred or hybrid line with your local seed company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds and hybrids. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply more than 2 pints (1.0 pound of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per year in sorghum. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 2 pints (1.0 pound of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 1 application per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period. • DO NOT apply to sorghum that is heading or blooming. • DO NOT graze treated sorghum fields for at least 12 days after the last treatment with Basagran. Tank Mixtures Basagran may be tank mixed with one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide products: • Clarity® herbicide • Facet® L herbicide • Outlook® herbicide • atrazine Soybeans Apply Basagran postemergence to soybean, as they are tolerant to Basagran at all stages of growth. Slight leaf speckling and leaf bronzing may occur under certain condi- tions, but soybeans generally outgrow these conditions within 10 days. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT graze or cut treated soybean fields for forage or hay for at least 30 days after the last treatment of Basagran. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 3 pints (1.5 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period.

16 Tank Mixtures Basagran® herbicide may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the fol- lowing herbicide products: • Outlook ® herbicide • Poast® herbicide • Pursuit® herbicide • Raptor® herbicide • Scepter® herbicide • Cobra® herbicide • Flexstar® herbicide • Reflex® herbicide • Resource® herbicide • Ultra Blazer® herbicide • 2,4-DB amine • glyphosate (e.g. Roundup ® herbicide) Basagran may be tank mixed with foliar fungicides and/or foliar insecticides (except malathion and Sevin® herbicide) if the application timings properly coincide. Tank Mix Restrictions Basagran + Ultra Blazer + Poast. Oil concentrate must be used with the Basagran + Ultra Blazer + Poast tank mix in place of a spray surfactant. Basagran + 2,4-DB amine. Use only amine formulations of 2,4-DB. Use no other adjuvant except UAN at 2 to 4 pints per acre with this tank mix. DO NOT apply more than 1 application of this tank mix per season. The use of this tank mix will cause soybean foliage injury (such as burning, bronzing, or crinkling) and may reduce yields. DO NOT use this tank mix on soybeans that show symp- toms of disease such as Phytophthora root rot. The tank mixing of an insecticide with Basagran may increase the potential for crop injury. Nonbearing Food Crops Basagran may be used for selective postemergence weed control in the following nonbearing food crops: almonds, apples, apricots, avocados, blackberries*, blueberries, cherries, crabapples, dates, figs, grapes, grapefruit, lemons, limes, macadamias, nectarines, olives, oranges, peaches, pears, pecans, pistachios, plums, pomegranates, prunes, raspberries*, tangelos, tangerines, walnuts. (* Apply Basagran at or before planting only) Apply Basagran at 1.5 to 2 pints per acre as a postemer- gence directed spray away from the foliage of desired plants. DO NOT allow spray to contact green stems, bark, or foliage. A directed spray application should reduce the potential for leaf injury. However, some leaf speckling and leaf bronzing may occur under certain conditions. If need- ed, use a spray shield or wrap or cover the plants when spraying around very young trees or vines. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply to nonbearing foods using aircraft or any aerial equipment that results in a broadcast spray application. • DO NOT graze animals in treated orchards or fields. • DO NOT use hay from treated areas for animal feed or bedding. • DO NOT apply Basagran to nonbearing food crops within one year of harvest. • DO NOT apply more than 4 pints (2.0 pounds of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre, per year. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 2 pints (1.0 pound of bentazon ai) of Basagran per acre per single application. • Maximum number of applications per year: DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year. • DO NOT make more than one application within a 5-day period.
