Product Stewardship Practices • Apply EverdantTM herbicide to weeds 4 inches or less in size for best performance . • Apply Everdant at the labeled rate to minimize the likeli- hood of weed resistance occurring . DO NOT apply at less than the labeled rate . See Crop- specific Information for labeled rates by crop . • Use Everdant as part of a herbicide program that includes the use of residual herbicides and herbicides with alternate sites of action to reduce resistance selec- tion pressure . • Select nozzles that produce coarse to ultra-coarse spray droplets . • Maintain boom height 24 inches or less from target . • Identify areas of sensitive nontarget crops/plants and maintain proper setback distance from these areas . Sensitive crops in agricultural and/or residential settings can include, but are not limited to:
- non-DT soybeans
- cucumber and melons (EPA Crop Group 9)
- flowers
- fruit trees
- grapes
- ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shade house-grown broadleaf plants
- peanuts
- peas and beans (EPA Crop Group 6)
- peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables (EPA Crop Group 8)
- potato
- sweet potato
- tobacco • Thoroughly clean spray equipment before and after application . Mode of Action Dicamba, the active ingredient in Everdant, is a Group 4 (WSSA) herbicide . Herbicides in this group mimic auxin (a plant hormone) resulting in a hormone imbalance in sensi - tive plants that interferes with normal plant growth (e .g . cell division, cell enlargement, and protein synthesis) . Everdant is readily absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots; translocates throughout the plant; and accumulates in areas of active growth to provide post emergence control of emerged weeds as well as moderate residual control of germinating weed seeds . Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 herbicides . Weeds resistant to Group 4 herbi- cides should be managed using effective herbicide(s) from a different group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices . Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species at www.EngeniaQuestions.com . Consult your local BASF representative, state cooperative extension service, profes - sional consultants, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds . Addi- tional information about weeds which are known to be resistant to dicamba can be found at www.Resistance- Information.BASF.US . Resistance Management While weed resistance to Group 4 herbicides is infre- quent, populations of resistant biotypes are known to exist . Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates multiple options including chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) con - trol tactics . Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and timely tillage . To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, the following steps should be followed 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 Everdant for the most difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time
9 (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes . See Crop-specific Information for labeled rates by crop . • Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual 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; (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 or representative . • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a herbicide having a mode of action other than Group 4 and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practical, 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, users should follow as many of the following 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 herbicides with alterna - tive modes of action . • Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 4 herbicides . • Avoid making more than two applications of EverdantTM herbicide and any other Group 4 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with another mech - anism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds . • 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 . Crop Tolerance Crops growing under normal environmental conditions are tolerant to Everdant when applied according to label directions . Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions (e .g . low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, drought) . Application Instructions Apply Everdant by ground to actively growing weeds as a band, broadcast, or spot spray application for postemer- gence control of emerged weeds as well as moderate residual control of germinating weed seeds . Make postemergence applications of Everdant when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing . An adjuvant is recommended with Everdant for best post- emergence activity; refer to Tank Mixing Information section and Crop-specific Information sections for details . Postemergence activity may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather conditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other stress conditions . When targeting dense weed populations and/ or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray volumes and a higher application rate within an application rate range . Cultivation should be delayed until 7 days after applying Everdant or a reduction in weed control may occur . Use extreme care when applying Everdant to prevent injury to desirable plants . Everdant may cause injury to desirable sensitive plants when contacting their roots, stems, or foliage . Application Rates Always read and follow crop-specific use directions . Table 2. Application Rate to Control or Suppress Target Weed by Weed Type and Growth Stage Everdant must always be tank mixed with an adjuvant when used for control of emerged broadleaf weeds . (See Crop-specific Information section for additional directions and exceptions)
10 Weed Type and Growth Stage Rate/Acre2,5 (fl ozs) Annual Small, actively growing1 (less than 4-inches tall) 3 .2 to 12 .8 Small, actively growing (less than 4-inches tall) plus moderate residual control 12 .8 Biennial Rosette diameter 1 to 3 inches1 6 .4 to 12 .8 Rosette diameter more than 3 inches 12 .8 Perennial3 Top growth suppression 6 .4 to 12 .8 Top growth control and root suppression 12 .8 Woody Brush and Vines 3,4 Top growth suppression 12 .8 1 Although rates below 12 .8 fl ozs/A (refer to crop-specific sec - tions of the label for minimum use rates) may provide adequate control of annual and biennial weeds, for optimum performance use the higher listed rates or apply the lower listed rate as a tank mix with other herbicides that are effective on the same species and biotype . 2 Use the higher rate within listed ranges when treating weeds resis - tant to other sites of action, dense vegetative growth, or weeds with a well-established root system . The higher rates also provide moder- ate residual annual weed control . 3 Everdant TM herbicide will suppress the top growth of herbaceous perennial and woody brush and vines and can be combined with other herbicides to improve control . 4 Not for use in California . 5 DO NOT broadcast-apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A per application . Retreatment or tank mixes may be necessary for best control of some weeds . However, sequential applications must not exceed a maximum cumulative total of 51 .2 fl ozs/A of Everdant (2 lbs dicam- ba ae/A) per year . Application Methods and Equipment Apply Everdant by ground or by air . Thorough spray cov- erage is important for best broadleaf weed control and can be improved with adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection . A spray adjuvant must always be used with Everdant when applying for the control of emerged broadleaf weeds . Calibrate application equipment for accurate target spray volume and application rate to ensure uniform distribution of spray and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas . Adjust equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation . Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above the labeled use rates . Everdant may be applied using water; consult crop- specific information sections of this label for other spray carrier options . Aerial Application Methods and Equipment Water Volume: Use 1 to 10 gallons of water per acre (2 to 20 gallons of diluted spray per treated acre for preharvest uses) . Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation . Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro- duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles . Make aerial applications at the lowest safe height to reduce exposing the spray to evaporation and wind . The applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift haz- ards, including those found in this labeling, as well as state and local regulations and ordinances . DO NOT use aerial equipment if spray particles can be carried by the wind into areas where sensitive crops or plants are growing or when temperature inversions exist . Ground Application Banding Applications When applying Everdant by banding, use the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide and water vol- ume needed: Bandwidth in inches x Broadcast rate per acre = Banding herbicide rate per acreRow width in inches Bandwidth in inches x Broadcast volume per acre = Banding water volume per acreRow width in inches Broadcast Applications Unless noted in the crop-specific information section, use a spray volume of 15 gallons of water or more per treated acre . Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is essential for postemergence applications; higher spray volumes may be necessary for optimum performance . Wiper Applications Everdant may be applied through wiper application equipment to control or suppress actively growing broad- leaf weeds, brush, and vines . Use a 50% solution containing 1 part Everdant to 1 part water . • DO NOT apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant [0 .5 lb dicamba acid equivalent (ae) per acre] per application . • DO NOT contact desirable vegetation with herbicide solu- tion . Wiper application may be made to crops (including pastures) and noncropland areas described in this label . EXCEPTION: DO NOT use wiper application on cotton or soybean . Spray System Equipment Clean-out The applicator must ensure that the spray system used to apply Everdant is clean before application . Additionally, small quantities of ammonium sulfate (AMS) can increase the volatility potential of Everdant . Be sure that any spray mixture from a prior application that contains AMS is drained and rinsed from the sprayer . After using Everdant, clean all mixing and spray equipment (including tanks, pumps, lines, filters, screens, and nozzles) with a strong detergent based sprayer cleaner . Severe crop injury may occur if any Everdant remains in the spray equip- ment following application and is subsequently applied to sensitive crops . Dispose of rinsate in compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines .
11 1 . After spraying, drain the sprayer (including boom and lines) . Avoid allowing the spray solution to remain in the spray boom lines overnight or for extended periods of time . 2 . Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water . Open boom ends and flush if so equipped . 3 . Inspect and clean all strainers, screens, and filters . 4 . Use commercial sprayer cleaner containing strong detergents according to the manufacturer’s directions . 5 . Wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top sur- face . Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes . All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system . 6 . Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles with the cleaning solution for at least 1 minute . Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers, and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedure . 7 . Drain pump, filter, and lines . 8 . Triple rinse the complete spraying system with clean water . 9 . Clean and rinse the exterior of the sprayer . 10 . Appropriately dispose of all rinsate in compliance with local, state, and federal requirements . Spray Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibili- ty of the applicator . The spray system and weather- related factors determine the potential for spray drift . The applicator is responsible for considering these factors when making application decisions to avoid spray drift onto nontarget areas . Applicators must follow application requirements to avoid spray drift hazards, including those found in this labeling and applicable state and local regulations and ordinances . Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed . All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers . DO NOT allow herbicide solution to drip, physically drift, or splash onto desirable vegetation because severe injury or destruction to desirable broadleaf plants could result . The following physical spray drift management requirements must be followed . Controlling Droplets Drift potential may be reduced by applying large droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control . Applying larg- er droplets can reduce drift potential, but will not prevent drift if the application is made improperly, or under unfa - vorable environmental conditions (see the Temperature Inversions and the Wind Speed and Direction Requirements sections) . • Nozzle Type - Use nozzles that produce course to ultra course spray droplets and minimize the production of fine droplets . • Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s specified pressures . For many nozzle types, lower pres- sure produces larger droplets . When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate (large orifice) nozzles instead of increasing pressure . Ensure sprayer rate con- troller hardware (if so equipped) does not allow pressure increases above the desired range . • Spray Volume - Apply this product in a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre . Use a higher spray volume when treating dense vegetation . Higher spray volumes may also allow the use of larger nozzle orifices (sizes) which produce coarser spray droplets . • Equipment Ground Speed - Select a ground speed that will deliver the desired spray volume while maintain - ing the desired spray pressure, but DO NOT exceed a ground speed of 15 miles per hour . Slower speeds gen- erally result in better spray coverage and deposition on the target area . It is recommended that ground speed be reduced to 5 miles per hour when making applications to the edge of the treatment area . • Spray Boom Height - Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing, but DO NOT exceed a boom height of 24 inches above target pest or crop canopy . Set boom to lowest effective height over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment manufacturer’s directions . Automated boom height con- trollers are recommended with large booms to better maintain optimum nozzle to canopy height . Excessive boom height will increase the potential for spray drift . • Hooded Spray Booms - Hooded spray booms are another tool that can be used to minimize spray drift potential . EverdantTM herbicide may be applied using a hooded spray boom in combination with approved noz- zles; however, the applicator must ensure the configuration is compatible with equipment used . Temperature Inversions • DO NOT apply Everdant when temperature inversions exist at the field level . Temperature inversions increase drift potential by reducing atmospheric mixing and dispersion of any suspended spray mixture . Suspended spray residues can move in unpredictable directions because of the light, variable winds common during inversions . Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light-to-no wind . Inversions begin to form as the sun sets and often contin- ue into the morning before surface warming . Their presence can be indicated by ground fog, smoke not ris- ing, dust hanging over a road, or presence of dew or frost . Smoke that layers and moves laterally (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing . Inversion conditions typically dissipate with increased winds (above 3 MPH) or when surface air begins to warm (3° F from morning low) .
12 Treatment Zone Awareness (Sensitive Areas, Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas) Sensitive Areas EverdantTM herbicide should only be applied when there is low potential for drift to sensitive areas (see Definitions) . It is best to apply when the wind is blowing away from sen- sitive areas . Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas • DO NOT apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption . • During application and sprayer clean-out, DO NOT allow contact of herbicide with foliage, green stems, exposed non-woody roots of crops, and desirable plants . • Downwind and Shifting Winds
- DO NOT apply when wind is blowing in the direction of neighboring sensitive crops or residential areas .
- The appropriate distance must be determined by the applicator relative to where the application is being made, the environmental conditions, and the potential risk to downwind sensitive crops and residential areas .
- The applicator also must be aware that WIND DIRECTION may vary during the application . If wind direction shifts such that the wind is blowing toward neighboring sensitive crops or residential areas, STOP the application . Survey the area before spraying: Small amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure sensitive broadleaf plants . Before making an application, the appli- cator must survey the application site for neighboring sensitive crops and residential areas . The applicator must consult sensitive crop registries where available . Plant inju- ry could occur if contact between this product and these crops/plants occurs . See www.driftwatch.org or other sensitive crop registry websites for more information on possible sensitive sites near your application location . AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. The interaction of equipment and weather related factors must be monitored to maximize performance and on- target spray deposition . The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making a spray deci - sion . The applicator is responsible for compliance with state and local pesticide drift regulations . Definitions • Sensitive Areas - Bodies of water and nonresidential, uncultivated areas that may harbor sensitive plant species . • Sensitive Crops and Residential Areas - Food, forage, or other plantings grown for sale, use or con- sumption . Sensitive crops/plants also can be present in nonagricultural settings, such as residential areas . Examples include, but are not limited to:
- non-DT soybeans
- cucumber and melons (EPA Crop Group 9 )
- flowers
- fruit trees
- grapes
- ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shade house-grown broadleaf plants
- peanuts
- peas and beans (EPA Crop Group 6 )
- peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables (EPA Crop Group 8 )
- potato
- sweet potato
- tobacco Severe injury or destruction could occur if any contact between this product and these crops/plants occurs . Wind Speed and Direction Requirements • Wind Speed - 3 to 15 mph • Wind Direction - Local terrain can influence wind pat- terns . Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift . Tank Mixing Information Everdant may be tank mixed with other products that are not prohibited on this label and are approved for use on the target crop or area . A spray adjuvant should always be used with Everdant when applying for the control of emerged broadleaf weeds . To improve postemergence weed control with Everdant, a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant may be used . Some adjuvants have the potential to cause crop injury under certain conditions, at certain growth stages and/or under other circumstances . Read all labels for products used in the tank mixture prior to use to determine the potential for crop injury . Surfactants and Spreaders Nonionic Surfactants/Spreaders (NIS) Use an agriculturally approved nonionic surfactant (containing at least 80% active ingredient) at 1 to 2 pints/100 gallons [0 .12 to 0 .25% volume/volume (v/v)] . Use the highest rate of NIS when using the lower rate ranges of a tank mix or when treating more mature and difficult-to-control weeds or dense vegetative growth . OR Oil Concentrate Surfactants (COC, HSOC, MSO)* Instead of NIS, oil concentrate may be used at 1 to 2 quarts/100 gallons (0 .5% to 1% v/v), but at least 1 pint/acre . (alternate text: DO NOT use oil concentrate for postemergence in-crop applications unless specifically
13 allowed in the Crop-specific Information section of this label) . A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil base and must: • Be non-phytotoxic • Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients • Provide good mixing quality in the jar test • Be successful in local experience Petroleum-oil and vegetable-oil concentrates should con - tain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality . Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils .
- COC - crop oil concentrate HSOC - high surfactant oil concentrate MSO - methylated seed oil Warnings and Restrictions: • Some COC, HSOC and MSO adjuvants may cause a temporary crop response . • DO NOT tank mix products containing ammonium salts such as ammonium sulfate and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) . • DO NOT add adjuvants that will further decrease pH or acidify the spray solution . • Spray mixtures with lower pH levels (less than pH 5) can increase the potential volatility of dicamba . To mitigate this potential it is important to know the pH of your spray mixture and make appropriate adjustments . Talk with your local agricultural consultant, extension agent, or BASF representative for recommendations to prevent low pH spray mixtures . • Use of an approved neutral buffering agent may be warrant- ed if the water source or tank mix components will create an acidic spray solution less than pH 5 . Possible ways to check the pH of the spray mixture is with a litmus paper test or pH meter . If the pH needs to be increased then consider using an approved neutral buffering agent . • Hard water does not usually affect the activity of EverdantTM herbicide; however, other tank mix compo- nents may be adversely affected (e .g . glyphosate) . Use of an approved conditioning agent should be considered when hard water (i .e . total calcium, magnesium, and iron content above 500 ppm) is used as a spray carrier . • Drift reduction agents can minimize the percentage of driftable fines . However, the applicator must check with the DRA manufacturer to determine if the DRA will work effectively with the spray nozzle, the spray pressure, and the desired spray solution . Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the respective tank mix products are registered for the specific crop use; follow required crop rotation restrictions . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and Directions For Use on all product labels involved in tank mixing . Always follow the most restrictive label use direc- tions; refer to crop-specific information section for details . Mixing Everdant with postemergence grass (graminicide) herbicides may reduce the effectiveness of those prod - ucts . Follow graminicide label when mixing with Everdant to ensure optimum weed control . Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing Everdant with other pesticides, additives, nutrition- als, etc . Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test . 1 . 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 . 2 . Add components in the sequence indicated in the fol - lowing Mixing Order instructions using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use rate per acre . 3 . Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions . 4 . When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes . 5 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface; fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or 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 Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed and sus - pended before adding tank mix partners . Except when mixing products in PVA bags, maintain constant agitation during mixing and application . 1 . Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 1/2 to 3/4 full of clean water . 2 . Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added . 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-soluble products and additives ( Everdant) 5 . Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions) 6 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including NIS and oil concentrate) 7 . Remaining quantity of water Maintain continuous and constant agitation throughout mix- ing and application until spraying is completed . If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mixture before spray- ing is resumed . Continue agitation while spraying .
14 Use Precautions • Stress - Application to crops under stress because of lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury, mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating temperatures may result in crop injury . • Rainfast Period - EverdantTM herbicide is rainfast 4 hours after application . Postemergence activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 4 hours of application . Use Restrictions Applicator MUST ALSO follow restrictions under Crop-specific Information section(s). • Maximum Seasonal Use Rate - Refer to crop-specific information sections for maximum seasonal application rates for each crop or use pattern . • DO NOT apply Everdant with ammonium- containing additives, conditioners, or fertilizers (e .g . AMS, UAN) . Small quantities of AMS can greatly increase the volatility potential of dicamba . • DO NOT apply Everdant if wind speed is greater than 15 mph . • DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes . • DO NOT apply Everdant through any type of irrigation system (e .g . chemigation) . • DO NOT tank mix Everdant with Lorsban® insecticide . • DO NOT apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A (0 .5 pound dicamba ae/A) in a single application of Everdant . • DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative total of 2 pounds dicamba ae/A from all product sources per cropping season . Crop Rotation Restrictions Use the following information to determine the required interval between Everdant application and rotational crop planting as well as replanting after crop failure because of environmental factors such as drought, frost, or hail . Deter- mine the rotational crop interval for tank mix products and use the most restrictive interval of all products applied . Table 3.

Following application of Everdant , wait until an accumulation of 1 inch of rainfall or irrigation followed by an interval of 14 days per 6 .4 fl ozs/A or less before planting cotton . This interval must be observed before planting cotton or severe crop injury may occur .
15 EverdantTM herbicide Crop-specific Use Directions Read product information, application instructions, weeds controlled, and additive instructions in preceding sections of the label . Depending on specific crop application directions, Everdant may be applied for postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds and/or residual control of germinating broadleaf weed seeds before crop planting (preplant and/or preseed) and after planting (pre - emergence, postemergence) . Refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled or suppressed . Asparagus Everdant may be applied immediately after cutting aspar- agus but at least 24 hours before the next cutting . Apply 6 .4 to 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant in 40 to 60 gallons of dilut- ed spray to emerged and actively growing weeds . Apply 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant to control common chickweed, field bindweed, nettleleaf goosefoot, and wild radish . To improve control of Canada thistle and field bindweed, apply Everdant in combination with glyphosate (e .g . Roundup® herbicide) or sequentially with 2,4-D . Avoid application to emerged spears . If spray contacts emerged spears, crooking (twisting) of some spears may result . If crooking occurs, discard affected spears . Asparagus Restrictions • DO NOT apply over the top to emerged spears or ferns • DO NOT apply more than a total of 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant (0 .5 pound dicamba ae/A) per year in asparagus . • DO NOT harvest for 24 hours after treatment . • DO NOT use in the Coachella Valley of California . Between Crop Application Everdant may be used as a burndown treatment to con- trol broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the fallow period following crop harvest and before the follow - ing crop is planted . Apply Everdant as a broadcast or spot treatment to emerged and actively growing weeds after crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost, or in fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or summer . Application Rates and Timings Apply Everdant as a broadcast or spot treatment at 3 .2 to 12 .8 fl ozs/A plus specified adjuvants; see Tank Mixing Information section for details . Refer to Table 2 to deter- mine use rates for specific targeted weed species . For best performance, apply Everdant when annual weeds are less than 4-inches tall, when biennial weeds are in the rosette stage, and to perennial weed regrowth in late summer or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment . For the most effective control of upright perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle and Jerusalem artichoke, apply Everdant when the majority of weeds have at least 4 inches of regrowth, or for weeds such as field bindweed and hedge bindweed that are in or beyond the full bloom stage . Avoid disturbing treated areas following application . Treat- ments may not kill weeds that develop from seed or underground plant parts, such as rhizomes or bulblets, after the effective period for Everdant . For seedling con- trol, a follow-up program or other cultural practices should be instituted . For small grain in-crop uses of Everdant, refer to Small Grain section for details . Specific crop rotation intervals must be observed between an application of Everdant and planting the following crop; see Crop Rotation Restrictions in Use Restrictions section . Use with Other Herbicides Broad-spectrum burndown control of grass weeds and/or additional broadleaf weeds requires another herbicide . Everdant may be applied sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide products: • Distinct ® herbicide • Facet® L herbicide • Outlook® herbicide • Sharpen® powered by Kixor® herbicide • Verdict® powered by Kixor® herbicide • 2,4-D • glyphosate (e .g . Roundup) It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use .

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Everdant may be used on both newly seeded and estab - lished grasses grown in the Conservation Reserve or federal Set-Aside Programs . Treatment with Everdant will injure or may kill alfalfa, clovers, lespedeza, wild winter peas, vetch, and other legumes .
16 Application Rates and Timings EverdantTM herbicide may be applied at 3 .2 to 12 .8 fl ozs/A; refer to Table 2 for rates based on target weed type and growth stage . Newly Seeded Areas Everdant may be applied either preplant or postemer- gence to newly seeded grasses or small grain including barley, oats, rye, sudangrass, wheat, or other grain spe- cies grown as a cover crop . Postemergence application may be made after seedling grasses exceed the 3-leaf stage . Preplant Intervals. Preplant applications at 12 .8 fl ozs/A may injure new seedings if the interval between application and grass planting is less than: • 20 days - 30 inches or more annual precipitation • 45 days - less than 30-inches annual precipitation Established Grass Stands Established grass stands are perennial grasses planted one or more seasons before treatment . Certain species (bentgrass, buffalograss, carpetgrass, St . Augustinegrass, or smooth brome) may show a response when treated with Everdant . Use with Other Herbicides Broad-spectrum control of broadleaf and grass weeds requires another herbicide . Everdant may be applied sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the fol- lowing herbicide products: • Facet® L herbicide • atrazine • glyphosate (e .g . Roundup® herbicide) • paraquat (e .g . Gramoxone® SL herbicide) It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direc - tions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing . Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture . CRP Restrictions • DO NOT apply more than 12 .8 fl ozs/A of Everdant per application . • DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative total of 51 .2 fl ozs/A of Everdant (2 lbs dicamba ae/A) per season . • Everdant may injure newly seeded grasses and certain species, such as bentgrass, buffalograss, carpetgrass, St . Augustinegrass, or smooth brome . Corn (field, seed, silage) and Popcorn Everdant may be applied preplant surface, pre - emergence, or postemergence to corn . Corn in this label refers to conventional corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage) and popcorn . Before applying Everdant to seed corn or popcorn, verify with your local seed company (supplier) the selectivity of Everdant on your inbred line or hybrid to help avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids . Everdant is not registered for use on sweet corn. Direct contact of Everdant with corn seed must be avoid- ed . If corn seeds are less than 1 .5 inches below the soil surface, delay application until corn has emerged . Postemergence applications of Everdant to corn during periods of rapid growth may result in temporary leaning . Corn will usually become erect within 3 to 7 days . To avoid breakage, delay cultivation until after corn is growing normally . Application Rate Everdant application rates vary by soil texture, organic matter, and application timing . Refer to Table 4 for Everdant application rates by application timing . Up to 2 applications of Everdant may be made during a growing season . Sequential applications must be separated by 2 weeks or more .
