GENERAL INFORMATION A 11976E is a herbicide that may be applied before or after weed emergence to control many annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn. This product will also provide in-season control of certain emerged perennial weeds. Al1976E may be applied up to 14 days before planting all types of corn grown under no-tillage or other reduced tillage practices, but before emergence of corn that is not specifically designated as Roundup Ready. WARNING: DO NOT APPLY A11976E AFTER CORN EMERGES T.tNlESS THE CORN SEED IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED AS ROUNDUP READY.. FAlLt'R.E TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING WILL CAUSE SEVERE INjUf{i':OR DEATH TO CORN PLANTS. . . . .) , , . . . ~ .. ,

) 4 AI1976E may be tank mixed with Dual II MAGNUM®, AAtrex® 4L or AAtrex' Nine-O' (atrazine), Princep® 4L or Princep® Caliber 90® (simazine), Roundup' (glyphosate), Prowl®(pendimethalin), Banvel® or Clarity® (dicarnba), or 2,4-D. Note: Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered. Follow the label of each product used for precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions. Before com emerges, water or fluid fertilizer (28% or 32% nitrogen solutions only) may be used as the carrier when applying A 11976E alone or in tank mixtures approved on this label. AI1976E may be applied to Roundup Ready corn after emergence up to a corn height of 12 inches tall. Use only water as a carrier when applying AI1976E after Roundup Ready corn emergence. Do not apply A1l976E in tank mix with other products after corn emergence. When reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control means significant activity, but not always at a level generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. Triazine-resistant biotypes of some weeds have developed following many years of continuous use of atrazine (one of the ingredients in AI1976E) and other triazines. For best results, where resistant biotypes are known or suspected to exist with other weeds, Noyanis recommends the use of A 11976E after emergence of resistant biotypes. Consult with your State Agricultural Extension Service for specific recommendations. USE PRECAUTIONS I) To avoid excessive spray drift, do not apply if wind speed exceeds 10 mph or if winds are gusty. If sensitive crops or plants are growing downwind. do not apply if wind speed exceeds 5 mph or is gusty. (See section: Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift). 2) Aerial Application: Do not apply this product by air. 3) Avoid spray overlap. as crop injury may result. 4) Chemigation: Do not apply AI1976E through any type of irrigation system. 5) Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing A 11976E to non-target areas. 6) To minimize off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion of soil cyr.tJ.iliing Al1976E: ". ) a) Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favDr~2Jlt; for ,,:r.u erosion. Under these conditions. the soil should first be settled by raini'JII 'or irrigation., b) Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surface:;,

5 c) Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non­ target crops, unless at least 112 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. 7) Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 2 hours of application may reduce control of emerged weeds. 8) Dry weather following preemergence application of Al1976E alone or in tank mixtures may reduce effectiveness. 9) Reduced control of emerged weeds may occur when weeds are under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, cool temperatures or cloudy weather, when application follows recent mowing, or when excess amounts of dust cover plants. 10) Thoroughly clean sprayer before using. Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer contaminated with other materials, or crop injury or sprayer 'J clogging may occur. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Compatibility Test A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure A 11976E compatibility with tank mix panners and fluid fertilizer carriers. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredient rates. Note: When applied prior to corn emergence, nitrogen fertilizer solutions may replace part, or all, of the water carrier in the spray. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before mixing. ') I. Add 1.0 pI. of carrier (water or fertilizer) to each of 2 one quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of carrier and other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used for the actual application. 2. To one of the jars, add ',4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for t!:is use, such as Compex· or Unite" (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pt.!IOO gals. spray solltti~~j.' Shake or stir gently to mix. . . 3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative p;oortio\ls thl,ed on recommended labeled rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add' tDip separa't~IY . with dry pesticides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates hs\ .. After nch addition, shake or stir gently to mix. ' . : , , '

) ) 6 4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation,large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be re-mixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (a) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add /2 the compatibility agent to the water or fertilizer solution and the other /2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flow able pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture. 5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according ro the Storage and Disposal section in this label. Ground Applications Use stainless steel, aluminum. fiberglass. or polyethylene spray tanks only. Do not mix, store, or apply this product or spray solutions of this product in galvanized or unlined steel (except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. This product, or spray solutions of this product, react with such containers to produce hydrogen gas, which may form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas mixture could explode causing serious personal injury if ignited. Spray nozzles should be uniformly spaced and of the same size. and should provide accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-coarse droplets to provide good coverage and to minimize drift. (See Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift section which follows.) To help ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer at the beginning of the season before use and recalibrate frequently. Also recalibrate any time carriers are changed. For ground application, use a minimum of 10 gals. of water per acre. When weed infestations are severe, use a higher volume of water (for example 20 gals.! A) to ensure adequate spray coverage. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi pressure at nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation within the tank to keep product in suspension. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or low-pressure nozzles. A centrifugal pump, which provides propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing the product, is recommended. The NIl'l!) should provide a minimum of 20 gals.! minutel 100 gal. tank size circulated through correctly positioned sparger tubes or jets. Agitation during mixing and application is essential.: Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screen~ rl.F.;d on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen iri the ."", recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and booro: and tin . required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer's recommendations. ";" ' »' J'

) 7 For band applications, calculate the amount to be applied as follows: band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed row width in inches per acre per acre of field Mixing Instructions IMPORTANT: To ensure proper mixing, follow the correct mixing order on the label. Poor mixing may result in crop injury and/or poor product performance. I. Shake or re-circulate Al1976E well before using. 2. Make sure the spray tank is clean before mixing. If it is contaminated with other materials, mixing problems and/or clogging may occur. Inconsistent performance and/or injury to the crop may result. 3. Fill the spray tank \4 - !l2 full with clean water and begin agitation. Note: Using muddy water from sources such as ponds or ditches may reduce the post emergence activity of A11976E. 4. Make certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. Maintain agitation throughout the mixing and spraying process. 5. Continue filling the spray tank. If a compatibility agent is needed, add the required amount to the tank prior to adding any other components. When the tank is % full, add spray grade ammonium sulfate to the tank if desired. The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the performance of AI1976E and recommended tank mixtures of emerged annual weeds growing under adverse conditions. When using ammonium sulfate, add 2 percent spray grade, dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water. Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and completely dissolved prior to adding any herbicides. Do not mix ammonium sulfate in any fluid fertilizer solutions. Additional surfactants are not required with this product. 6. Next, add selected water-dispersible granule or other dry formulations such as AAtrex. Nine-O or Princep Caliber 90, and allow material to disperse. 7. Pour the required amount of AI1976E into the spray tank while continuing agitatIon and allowing time to fully disperse. Add other flowable formulations such:as AAtrex 41, 0)" Princep 4L. ' 8. Next, add soluble liquids such as glyphosate, dicamba, or 2,4-D if desir~r )hen add :any emulsifiable concentrate formulations such as Dual II MAGNUM or Prowl. , , , ,

) 8 9. Complete filling the tank, maintaining sufficient agitation at all times to ensure surface action until the spray tank mixture is uniform. 10. An anti-foaming agent may be added to reduce excessive foaming if needed. II. Do not leave mixture in the spray tank without continuous agitation. Always maintain agitation to avoid separation and buildup of undesirable residues on the walls of the spray tank. Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not allow spray from ground equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops, because even small amounts of A-11976E may injure sensitive plants. When drift may be a problem, take steps [0 reduce spray drift, including: • Do not spray if wind speed exceeds 10 mph or if winds are gusty. • If sensitive crops or plants are growing downwind, extreme caution must be used under all conditions. Do not spray if winds are gusty or above 5 mph. • C se extreme caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures and low relative humidity), especially when sensitive plants are located nearby. • Drift resulting from applications of this product is likely to damage sensitive plants adjacent to the treatment site, including corn plants that do not carry the Roundup Ready trait. • Do not apply when a temperature inversion exists. If an inversion condition is suspected, consult with local weather services before making an application. • Drift can be further reduced by: I. Using nozzles that provide a uniform droplet size. Use nozzles that produce medium to coarse droplets (250-400 microns VMD) that are less prone to result in spray drift. 2. Use flat fan nozzles. For example, Turbo Teejet, XR® Teejet, RF Raindrop', or similar "low pressure" nozzles are preferred. 3. When conditions favor drift, recalibrate sprayer by reducing spray pressures and by increasing spray volumes to produce larger droplets. 4. Applying as close to target weeds as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate coverage following nozzle manufacturer's recommendation!>. 5. Using a drift reducing agent according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Cleaning Equipment After A11976E Application Since most crops other than Roundup Ready corn are extremely sensitive :0 lin.> rates of . , " A11976E, special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spt~~i~$ other'crops. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, cleal) ~quipmery\ . , thoroughly using this procedure: , , , , , ' , I. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. (See Step 5 for disposal)

J 9 2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals. of water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used. Contact your local Novartis representative for more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners such as Clorox®. 3. Apply the ammonia cleaning solution with a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. 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. 4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution. 5. Dispose ofrinsate from steps 1-4 in an appropriate manner. Spray the cleaning solution on land that will be planted to com or return to a rinsate tank for later use as make-up for spraying corn or use other approved disposal methods. 6. Repeat steps 2-5. 7. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the above procedures. 8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water. Note: If the tank is equipped with the proper number of correctly mounted 360 0 tank­ washing nozzles which are attached to a dedicated rinsing system, less than a full tank of cleaning solution may be used. Use sufficient cleaning solution to thoroughly rinse all surfaces. Start the sprayer agitation and recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Flush the spray boom with the cleaning solution. Repeat the rinsing procedure 1-2 times. A11976E USED ALONE Adding ammonium sulfate to the spray solution of AI1976E may increase the performancfl against emerged annual weeds growing under adverse conditions. When using ammcI;iuTI;' sulfate. add 2 percent spray grade, dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per l,),}· : gallons of water. Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the S]W\X l,}nk and . completely dissolved prior to adding any herbicides. Do not mix ammoni:im'sdfate i.1 hly fluid fertilizer solutions. Additional surfactants are not required with this pNdutl , , • J'" When applying A 11976E after emergence, good coverage of weeds with th ,ray mixture is essential for maximum weed control results. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during t.lJe . spraying operation to ensure that the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid spraying when cove~'ge 11~<6

) 10 will not be uniform or when spray drift may occur. Allow adequate distance between the target area and desirable, non-target vegetation. Avoid spray overlap, because crop injury may result. When applied as directed, Al I 976E at 3 ptsJA will control or partially control listed broadleaf weeds BEFORE EMERGENCE. A I I 976E may be applied at rates ranging from 2 V2 to 5 pts./A,. Use 2 V2 pts.lA when weed infestations are expected to be low or when atrazine may pose potential carryover concerns. Use 3-5 pts./A when infestations of annual broadleaf weeds listed on this label are expected to be high or when longer residual control is desired. such as when making early preplant applications.

) ) 15 Preplant Surface or Preemergence Applications to Corn Before or After Weed Emergence A I I 976E should be applied before or after planting all types of com grown under no-tillage or other reduced tillage practices, and prior to emergence of com that is not specifically designated as Roundup Ready. For best results, apply A 11976E at 2 1/2 to 5 pts.! A, depending upon targeted weeds and size, at up to 14 days before planting com, and either before or after weed emergence. If A 11976E is applied before planting, to the extent possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control may be diminished. Post Emergence Applications to Roundup Ready Corn Before or After Weed Emergence WARNING: DO NOT APPLY Al1976E AFTER CORN EMERGES UNLESS THE CORN SEED IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED AS ROUNDUP READY. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING WILL CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO CORN PLANTS. AI1976E may be applied broadcast, over-the-top of Roundup Ready com up to a maximum com height of 12 inches. Refer to the weed list in the specific use directions for rates. A 11976E may occasionally cause minor com leaf bum when applied after emergence of Roundup Ready com. After corn emergence do not apply other products tank mixed with A11976E. Use a nozzle spacing and boom height arrangement that avoids applying an excessive rate of A11976E directly over the corn-row. Boom height for broadcast over-the-top application should be based upon the height of the com, and should follow the nozzle manufacturer's recommendations for height abo'e the target area. Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) of Al1976E with vegetation other than Roundup Read corn, because injury may occur.
