General Information Galaxy<' herbicide is intended for the early posterner­ gence control of a certain broad leaf weeds in peanuts and soybeans Crop Tolerance All peanut and soybean varieties are tolerant to Galaxy at all stages of growth. Leaf speckling may occur, but plants generally outgrow thiS condition within 10 days . New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. Cleaning Spray Equipment 11f~ Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner accord­ ing to the manufacturer's directions and then triple rinsing before and after applying this product.

II. Application Instructions Apply 2 pints of Galaxy per acre as follows unless instructed differently in Table 1. Application Timing. Applications can be rnade to actively growing weeds as aerial or broadcast applications at the rates and growth stages listed in Table 1. Application Timing. The most effective control will result from rnaking postemer­ gence applications of Galaxy early, when weeds are small. Early application to weeds results in improved weed control, and makes thorough spray coverage easier to obtain. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent ade­ quate control. Avoid drift to all other crops and nontarget areas. Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target areas or when windspeed is greater than 10 mph. Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth. Weeds growing under drought conditions usually are not ade­ quately controlled. Spray Coverage Weeds must be thoroughly covered with Spl JV. Alw8yS use an adequate volume of spray solution to ensure thorough coverage.

III. Additives To achieve consistent weed control, one of the follow­ Ing additives are needed: ammonium sulfate, crop oil concentrate, or urea amonium nitrate. AMS (or UAN) should be used when velvet leaf is a primary target weed. 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 humid­ Ity and temperature are high. See Table 3 Additive Rates Per Acre for additive rates and Table 2 Additive Options for Galaxy Tank Mixes. Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) AMS is a dry, granular nitrogen-source fertilizer. Use only fine feed-grade or spray-grade AMS because Infenor grades of AMS do not dissolve adequately and mn plug spray noules. BASF does not recommend applying AMS if applied In less than 10 gallons per acre because of potential problems with preclptation In reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been demonstrated to be successful in local experience. Nonionic Suriactant When required in a tank mix, the standard label recom­ mendation is 1 - 2 pints of an 80% active non ionic sur­ factant per 100 gallons of water. Oil Concentrate The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable 011 base and must meet all of the following cri­ teria • be nmlphytotoxic, • contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, • provide good mixing quality In the jar test, and • be successful in local experience. Tho exact composition of suitable products Will vary; t1ow8ver, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates Additive Options for Galaxy Tank Mixes should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components. Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn. Refer to your supplier for information concerning successful local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate. Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) Commonly referrred to as 28%, 30% or 32% nitrogen solution, UAN may be added in place of other spray additives to improve weed control. Because most nltro~ gen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, rme the entire spray system with water soon after use. Do not use brass or aluminum noules when spraying UAN. Oil Concentrate + Nitrogen Solution A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate (as referred to above) plus a nitrogen solution (UAN or AMS) can be added to the spray tank with GalaxY" herbicide. This combina­ tion is recommended for use in areas of low humidity and moderate temperatures when lambsquarters, ragweed, and velvetleaf are to be controlled. Excessive crop injury can occur with this combination in high humidity and high temperature regions. Do not exceed recommended rates and adjust additive rate propor­ tionately to spray volume applied. Temperature and Relative Humidity Effects The following standard (see Table 3) Will help determine the optimum adjuvant rate to use. If the temperature and relative humidity exceed 150 (e.g .. temperature of 85c F plus 70% relative humidity = 155), use the lower additive rates.

BASF does not recommend 6 using tank mixes other than those listed on BASF label­ Ing. Local agricultural authorities may be a source of information when using other than BASF recommended tank mixes. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing additives and/or other pestiCides, always perform a compatibility Jar test. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add components in the sequence Indicated In the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. Always cap the Jar and invert 10 cycles between com­ ponent additions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solu­ tion 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 When mixing additives and/or other pesticides in a spray tank, add the products to be used in the following sequence.

  1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three quarters full of clean water.
  2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application
  3. Products in PVA bags: Place any product con­ tained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PYA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
  4. Water-dispersible products: (such as dry flow­ ables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions). If an Inductor is used, rinse It thoroughly after the component has been added.
  5. Water-solubte products ( such as Galaxy) II dr I Inductor is used, nnse it thoroughly after the CGl"~u­ nent has been added.
  6. Emulsifiable concentrates (SUCll as oil concentrate when applicable). If an inductor is J~!j( I, rinse it thur­ oughly after the component hac been ddded.
