) Steps to be taken in case materi­ al is released or spilled: Dike and contain spiit with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid dikir.g material to separate con­ tainers for disoosal.

General Information BAS 530 04 H herbicide is intended for selective postemergence conlrol of certain broadleaf weeds in soy­ beans, BAS 530 04 H is effective mainly through contact action; there­ fore, weeds must be thoroughly cov­ ered with spray. Soybeans are toler­ ant to BAS 530 04 H when applied at recommended rates. BAS 530 04 H may cause some soybean leaf­ speckling and leaf-bronzing to occur under certain conditions; however, soybeans soon outgrow these effects with no subsequent adverse effects noted (See Restrictions and Limitations). BAS 530 04 H is intended for use in the following states or parts of states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma (east of U.S. Highway 75 and east of Indian Nation Parkv,ay), South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas (counties east of U.S. Highway 75 and Interstate 45, additional counties of Austin, Brazoria, Chambers, Colorado, Fcrt Bend, Harris, Matagorda, Waller, and Wharton). Indiana, I;linois, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia. Iowa, Kansas (all counties east of U.S, Highway 75), Michigan (all counties south of U.S.' Highway 46), Minnesota (all counties south of Highway 212), Nebraska (all counties east of U.S. Highway 81), and Wisconsin (all counties south of Interstate 94). Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Virginia. Timing of applications Make postemergence applications of BAS 530 04 H early, when weeds are small and actively growing and before weeds reach the maximum size listed in the Application Rate Table. Delay in appiicatio:1 which permits weeds to exceed the maxi­ mum size stated will result in inade­ quate control. Cul!ivatien before or during the appli­ cation is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under stress thus making control more djffi· cult to obtain. Timely cultivation 5-7 days after application will usually assist in weed centrol. Water Volume and Spray Pressure Apply recommended rates of BAS 530 04 H as follows: Ground equipment: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure thorough weed coverage. Use 10-20 ga!ions of water per broadcast acre and a minimum ef 40 psi pressure (measured at the boom, not at the pump or in the line). When crep and weed foliage is dense, use up to 50 gallons of water and up to 80 psi pressure. Use standard high pres­ sure pesticide hollow cone or fiat fan nozzles spaced 20 inches apart. Do not use flood, whirl chamber, or con­ trolled droplet applicator (CDA) noz· zles. Air equipment: Use suff:cient spray vo:ume and pressure to ensure thor­ OUg!l weed coverage. Use 5-10 gal­ ions of water per acre and a maxi­ mum of 40 psi pressure. Usc only diaphragm-type nozzles producing cone or fan Sprcly patterns. Aerial Application - special direc­ tions and restrictions To obtain uniform coverage and to avoid drift hazards, the following app!ication equipment and practices should be used: Nozzle height: 6 to 10 feet above crop. Nozzle orientation: Nozzles must be oriented so as to discharge straight back with the air stream (opposite the direction of travel of the aircraft) and not mere than 20 degrees downward, Nozzles must not be located further eut than 3/4 the distance from the center of the aircraft to the end of the wing or rotor. Do not apply BAS 530 04 H by air­ craft when the wind is blowing at a velocity above 10 mph. Coarse sprays (larger droplets} are less !ikc!y to drift. Do not apply BAS 530 04 H by air if o:'"namentals or sensitive non-target crops, such as cotton, sugar beets. sunflowers or okra are within 200 feet (jownwind. 3 Applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift tlazards, including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordi­ nances. Addition of Oil Concentrate A nonphytotoxic crop oil concentrate (commonly referred to as oil concen­ trate) should be added to the spray tank with BAS 530 04 H to achieve consistent weed centrol. The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet the following criteria: 1) be nonphytotoxic, 2) con­ tain only EPA-exempt ingredients, 3) pro,ide good mixing quality in the jar test, and 4) prove beneficial in local experience, The exact compOSition of suitable products will vary; however, veg­ etable and petroleum oil concen­ trates should contain emulsifiers which provide good mixing quality, For vegetable oil concentrates, it has been observed that highly refined vegetable oiis are more satisfactory than unrefined veget~ble oils. For additional information, see Jar test for estimating suitability of oil concentrates at the end of this section. With the addition of oil CO:lcentrate to BAS 53004 H on soybeans, some ieaf burn may OCCLir, but gen­ erally ali new grow1h is normal and crop viger is not reduced, The potentia! for leaf bL.'rn is increased 'Jr.en relative humidity a"1d tempera­ ture are high. A few oil concentrates have exl,ib:ted excessive leaf burn. Refer to your supplier for information concerning successful local experi­ ence prior to purchasing any oil con­ centrate.

APPLICATION RATE TABLE Applications of BAS 530 04H should be made when weeds are small and actively growing and befo~= I//ceds reach the maxlmum size listed in the Application Rate Table. Such ,:1ppli::-aticns generally corrspond to tt10 s.oybean gro\fvttl stages of unifoiate to two expanded trifo!iate leaves. Soybeans may experience slight yellov.r.ng, bronzing, speckting, 0:- bu:-nr:1g of leaves under certain c:·:-ditions. Soybean plants generally outgrow this condition v.rithln 10 days.

Rotational Crop Restrictions Restrictions and Limitations Do not apply more than a total of 11/2 pints of BAS 530 04 H per acre per sea­ son. Do not apply BAS 530 04 H to soybeans i:at have been subjoct to stress condi· .ons such as ha! da:nage, flooding, crought. injury from other herbicides, or ·· .. :ide!y fluctuating temperatures, as crop injury may result. Do not apply BAS 530 04 H to soybeans that show injury (leaf phytotoxicity and/or plant stunting) pro­ duced by other prior herbicide app:ica­ . tions, because this injury may be enhanced and/or prolonged. Do not apply BAS 530 04 H during pro­ longed periods of drought or during unseasonably cold weather, as unsatisfac­ tory weed control may result. Rainfall or overhead irrigation soon after application may nullify the effectiveness of BAS 53.0 04 H. Make applications before soybeans bloom. Physical incompalibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mix­ ing BAS 530 04 H with other pesticides (fungiCides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertiiizers. BASF :Joes not recommend the u.se of BAS 530 04 H tank mixes other than those listed on BASF labels, supplemental !abels, or tech­ nical information bulletins. Local agricultur­ al authorities may be a so:;rce of informa­ t'on when using other than BASF .3.;Jproved tank mixes. Coan sprayer thoro:;gr,ly prior to applica­ ,:on of BAS 530 04 H, particuiarly if a her­ tic,de was used which has the potential to ·njurc the crop to be sprayed.
