GENERAL INFORMATION t L
Equip Corn Herbicide is a combination of two sulfonylurea herbicides. Equip Corn Herbicide is intended for application at, ajfoliar spray
in corn for the control of annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds. Weed growth ceases wiirjiri 'hours after Equip Corn
Herbicide is applied. Symptoms progress from yellowing to necrosis resulting in eventual plant death within 1 --3 weeks after application.
Sulfonylurea herbicides have been associated with temporary yellowing or stunting. Corn quickly outgrows these effects ginci ^develops
normally. Equip Corn Herbicide contains a safener which enhances the ability of corn to recover from any initial herbicide effects. Equip
Corn Herbicide is for use on field corn and is NOT to be used on sweet corn or popcorn. Equip Corn Herbicide is not recommended for

c
use on corn grown for seed (inbreds). Equip Corn Herbicide can be used on all types of field corn, including hi-lysine, white and high oil
corn.
Injury arising from Equip Corn Herbicide due to hybrid sensitivity is the responsibility of the user. Follow seed company
recommendation charts for hybrid sensitivity to sulfonylurea herbicides or ALS inhibitors.
Do not apply Equip Corn Herbicide to corn that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications of other herbicides.
INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION
Soil Insecticide Interaction Information
When Equip Corn Herbicide and organophosphate (OP) insecticides are applied to corn, the degradation of Equip Corn Herbicide is
slower and corn injury can occur. Do not use Equip Corn Herbicide in the same season as Counter® 15G, Counter® 20CR in furrow,
Dyfonate® and Thimet®.
For all corn hybrids, the following soil applied insecticides may be used prior to an application of Equip Corn Herbicide :

Foliar Insecticide Interaction Information
Foliar applications of an OP insecticide should not be made within 7 days of an Equip Corn Herbicide application or injury may result.
APPLICATION TIMING
Weed Application Timing
Equip Corn Herbicide is for postemergent use only. Best results are obtained when applications are made to young actively growing
weeds. Equip Corn Herbicide will affect weeds that are larger than the recommended height, however, speed of activity and control
may be reduced. Equip Corn Herbicide will provide short term residual control of small seeded broadleaf weeds.
Broadcast Corn Application Timing
Broadcast applications of Equip Corn Herbicide must be made when corn is V1 (i.e., exhibiting 1 visible collar) through V4 growth stage.
Late or Rescue Applications:
Applications of Equip Corn Herbicide at 1.5 ounces per acre may be applied to escaped weeds beyond labeled weed heights. In these
situations, partial control and reduced weed competition can be expected.
Drop Nozzles must be used for applications of Equip Corn Herbicide when corn is greater than V4 and less than V8 stage of growth.
Do not apply to corn that is more mature than V8 (i.e. more than 8 visible leaf collars) stage of growth.
Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates competition from foxtail exceeding 4 inches in height may reduce corn yields.
Applications to foxtail and other annual grasses that exceed the sizes stated on the label increases the risk of yield losses due to
prolonged competition with the crop even though control may be acceptable.
Applications of Equip Corn Herbicide on corn that is V5 to V8 increases the potential for crop response. The risk may be greatly
reduced, but not eliminated, by using drop nozzles properly placed between corn rows to optimize coverage on the weeds, od: minimize
spray contact in the whorl and the leaf axles of the corn stalks.
SPRAY ADDITIVES ^-- C"> *- t 0
Equip Corn Herbicide is a water dispersible granule that requires the use of an external adjuvant and nitrogen fertilizer. c
• Methylated or ethylated seed oil, containing at least 80% MSO and with 10% emulsifier or greater,'i£ Wnbination with nitrogen
fertilizer, is the recommended adjuvant type to provide optimum weed control with Equip Corn Herbicide^ L ( c
• Non-ionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates, crop oil concentrate/methylated seed oil blends, and vcfinad vegetable Loilp are not
recommended for use with Equip Corn Herbicide. The use of these adjuvants in place of methylated: seed oil will result in
unacceptable weed control. < '•<-<-<- ^
• In areas of low relative humidity (west of U.S. Highway 281, which begins in Texas and ends in North Dakota) kJrea Ammonium
Nitrate (UAN) is preferred over Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) and higher rates are recommended. <- i

APPLICATION METHODS
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver
COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of
weeds.
Do not use nozzles that produce FINE (e.g. - Cone) or EXTRA COARSE (e.g. - Flood jet) spray droplets.
Ground Application
Equip Corn Herbicide can be applied broadcast in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. For weed control in dense weed
populations or under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre is recommended.
Typically, flat-fan nozzles operated at 30-60 PSI will deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, providing optimum spray coverage and canopy
penetration. Lower pressure operation and/or higher volume flat fan nozzles, typically, deliver COARSE sprays. Refer to nozzle
manufacturer catalogs.
Air induction nozzles should be used at or near 80 psi to produce a medium droplet size.
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Equip Corn Herbicide.
Mixing Instructions
Equip Corn Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding Equip Corn Herbicide, ensure that
the spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned.
1. Fill spray tank with 25% of the required volume of water, and begin agitation prior to the addition of Equip Corn Herbicide.
2. Continue agitation to ensure full dispersion of Equip Corn Herbicide.
3. If Equip Corn Herbicide is applied in a tank mixture with other pesticides, add Equip Corn Herbicide to the spray tank first and
ensure it is thoroughly dispersed before adding other pesticides.
4. Continue to fill the spray tank with water to the desired volume and agitate while adding the required spray adjuvants and nitrogen
fertilizers.
Continue agitation during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. (If is added to a partial tank of spray solution, pre-slurry Equip
Corn Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.)
If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is the nitrogen fertilizer source, it is preferred that the AMS go into the tank before the Equip Corn
Herbicide.
RE-SUSPENDING WG PRODUCTS IN SPRAY SOLUTION i > c: (. i (.
Like other Water Dispersible Granules or suspension concentrates (SC's), will settle if left standing without agitatioh. If the spray
solution is allowed to settle for one hour or more, re-agitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before applications
COMPATIBILITY l^T^ "^
If Equip Corn Herbicide is to be tank mixed with other herbicides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing, fo test for compatibility,
use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratfocas!the anticipated use. If
any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually occur
within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each tank mix product used for precautionpr^statements, directions for
use, geographic and other restrictions. ^ [

TANK CLEANUP PROCEDURE
1. Drain the tank completely, then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Fill the tank half full with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of 1% (i.e., 1 gallon
of domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Completely fill the tank with water. Agitate/recirculate and flush through
boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
3. Repeat Step 2.
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1% ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and remove visible residues.
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat Step 2.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Equip Corn Herbicide is not volatile. Damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift. Spray drift can be managed by
several application factors and by spraying under the appropriate climatic conditions. Consequently, avoidance of spray drift is the
responsibility of the applicator.
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 habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind i3Lb.!ev>'ing away
from the sensitive areas). L C c <_
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many e^LMpiriejit-and-weaJher-related
factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for cons[deri£igjall these factors when
making decisions. ' '

Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be
damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE:
The most effective way 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 Inversions below).
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver
COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of
weeds.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces
larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other
orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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 the largest droplets
and the lowest drift.
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 reducing swath width.
APPLICATION HEIGHT:
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required
for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT:
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. 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. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high
inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY:
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high
temperatures.

i
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS:
• Do not make ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Temperature inversions 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 by increasing temperatures 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.
ROTATIONAL CROP DIRECTIONS
Equip Corn Herbicide rapidly degrades in the soil. This degradation is enhanced by warm moist soils that are microbially active.
If a corn crop has been destroyed by hail or other means soon after a Equip Corn Herbicide application, corn can be replanted 15 days
after the Equip Corn Herbicide application. Rotational intervals to all other crops is illustrated below:

East of Interstate 35, planting of cotton must wait 18 months when soil pH is greater than 7.5 and when less than 15" of annual
precipitation has occurred from an application of Equip Corn Herbicide.
OTHER CROPS
All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful field bioassay after a Equip Corn Herbicide application. Refer
to the "Field Bioassay" section.
FIELD BIOASSAY t <. c <. c ,. c
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to crops other than those specified in the "Rotational Crop Directions" section of this
label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop you intend to grow the following seasorj^ri afield previously treated
with Equip Corn Herbicide. The test strip should include low areas and knolls, and include variations in sovl sueh as type and pH. Crop
response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in areascprevioi;:sly treated'with Equip
Corn Herbicide.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT \ ( c
Some weed populations may contain plants naturally resistant to Equip Corn Herbicide or other herbioicia^with the" Game! mode of
action (ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibitors). Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action, allow resistant weeds to_spread. To
manage the development and spread of resistant weed populations, use herbicides with different modes'of actioncin tank mixture,
rotation, or in conjunction with alternate cultural practices. Equip Corn Herbicide can be used effectively as one of the{Lrii6ofcs of action
in a Balance® Pro or Liberty® herbicide rotation.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
1. Equip Corn Herbicide is rainfast 2 hours after application to most weed species. Rainfall within 2 hours may necessitate
retreatment with Option® Corn Herbicide or may result in reduced weed control. Applications should be made to actively growing
weeds. Weed control may be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog,
and mist/rain or when weeds are under stress due to drought.
2. DO NOT apply when wind causes drift to off-site vegetation as injury may occur. Small amounts of Equip Corn Herbicide delivered
via drift or tank contamination can cause severe damage to other crops. Careful management of spray drift and tank cleanout is
required.
3. DO NOT apply more than one application of Equip Corn Herbicide to corn in one growing season.
4. DO NOT apply to soils with pH > 8.0.
5. DO NOT apply Equip Corn Herbicide within 70 days of harvesting corn grain or 45 days of harvesting corn forage. Do not graze
within 45 days of an Equip Corn Herbicide application.
6. DO NOT plant rotational crops immediately following Equip Corn Herbicide application. Corn can be planted 15 days after an
application of Equip Corn Herbicide. For all other crops refer to the rotational crops portion of this label.
7. DO NOT use nitrogen solutions as the sole herbicide spray carrier solution.
8. DO NOT apply this product by air or through any type of irrigation system.
9. Apply Equip Corn Herbicide spray mixtures within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
10. DO NOT apply more than 0.0765 Ib ai/A of foramsulfuron from all recommended application of Equip Corn Herbicide and Option®
Corn Herbicide.
