Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Dimetric Liquid and other Group 5 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 5 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 5 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Dimetric Liquid or other Group 5 herbicides. To delay herbicide resistance consider avoiding the consecutive use of Dimetric Liquid or other target site of action Group 5 herbicides that have a similar target site of action on the same weed species; using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target sites of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern; basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM program; monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy, or contact your local Winfield Solutions, LLC specialist for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.
4 USE INFORMATION MIXING: When using Dimetric Liquid, make sure the sprayer is completely clean and free of rust or corrosion which occurs from winter storage. Examine strainers and screens to be certain they are clean from previously used pesticides. This product may be tank mixed with other products at appropriate rates as long as tank mixing is not prohibited by the label(s) of the tank mix partner products, or as otherwise noted within the specific crop use directions for this product, and the tank mix partner products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the use site to be treated. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions 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. Always perform a small-scale (jar) test prior to use (see instructions below). Any tank-mix containing Dimetric Liquid must be kept agitated and sprayed out immediately. Do not allow tank-mixes to stand for prolonged periods of time. When tank-mixing Dimetric Liquid with other herb icides, insecticides, fungicides or other crop protection products, follow the WALES or DALES method of tank mixing:
- Fill the spray tank ¼ to 1/3 full with clean water.
- Add wettable powders or dry flowables
- Agitate until dry products are fully dispersed
- Add liquid products next, including Dimetric Liquid
- Agitate until products have been dispersed
- Add any emulsified concentrates
- Add surfactants and oils. If tank mixing with fluid fertilizer, follow the tank mixing guidelines under APPLICATION OF Dimetric Liquid IN FLUID FERTILIZERS. TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY (JAR) TEST
- Mix the desired tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions in a clear glass quart jar, with lid.
- Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 30 minutes.
- If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oil films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination must not be used. SOIL TEXTURE As used on this label, “Coarse soils” are sand, loamy sand or sandy loam soils. “Medium soils” are loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay, or sandy cl ay loam. “Fine soils” are silty clay, silty clay loam, clay, or clay loam. Silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions of the U.S.
5 RESTRICTIONS Do not use on other crops grown for food or forage. Apply this product only as specified on this label Do not allow sprays to drift on to adjacent desirable plants. Do not apply using low-pressure, high-volume hand-wand equipment. CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS Waiting Period After Dimetric Liquid Herbicide Application1 4 Months Alfalfa Asparagus Barley2 Corn Forage Grasses Sainfoin Soybeans Sugarcane Tomatoes Wheat2 8 Months Barley Lentils Peas Wheat 12 Months Rice3 Potatoes 18 Months Sugar Beets Onions And other root crops not listed on this label and all other crops not listed on this label. 1Cover crops for soil building or erosion control may be planted any time, but do not graze or harvest for food or feed. Stand reductions may occur in some areas. 2Following peas, lentils or soybeans 3Do not rotate rice after any application to a primary crop greater than 1 lb ai/A (2-2/3 pt) of Dimetric Liquid per season. Do not rotate any crop not listed on this label after application of Dimetric Liquid to sugarcane. APPLICATION OF Dimetric Liquid WITH SPRAY EQUIPMENT GROUND APPLICATION: Apply the specified rate of Dimetric Liquid in a minimum of 10 to 40 gallons of carrier volume per acre, unless otherwise specified within crop specific directions. Banded Application: Use proportionally less Dimetric Liquid per acre in a band versus a broadcast application. For band application use 1/4 to 1 gallon of spray mix per inch of band width regardless of row spacing. Examples: (1) To treat a 15-inch band on rows 30 inches apart, use one-half of the broadcast rate of Dimetric Liquid. (2) To treat a 14-inch band on rows 42 inches apart, use one-third of the broadcast rate of Dimetric Liquid. AERIAL APPLICATION: Where permitted, apply specified rate in a minimum of 2 to 10 gallons of carrier volume per acre, unless otherwise specified within crop specific directions. Do not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. For All Applications of Dimetric Liquid: Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before applying Dimetric Liquid. Check sprayer during application to be sure it is working properly and delivering a uniform spray pattern. Avoid over-application, misapplication, and boom and spray swath overlapping that will increase spray dosage. (Crop injury may occur as a result.) Avoid spray skips and gaps. Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift and/or when sensitive or cool season crops, such as cole cr ops, onions, peas, or strawberries are present in adjacent fields or in areas where wheat is growing in coarse textured soils.
6 SPRAYER CLEANUP: Spray equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to remove remaining traces of herbicide that might injure other crops to be sprayed. Drain any remaining spray solution of Dimetric Liquid from the spray tank and dispose of according to label disposal instructions. Rinse the spray tank and refill with water, adding a heavy-duty detergent following use instructions. Recycle this mixture through the equipment for 5 minutes and spray out. Repeat this procedure twice. Fill the spray tank with clean water, recycle for 5 minutes, and spray out. Clean pump and nozzle screens and other screens and end caps thoroughly. Wash away spray mixture from the outside of spray tank, nozzles or spray rig. All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and Federal guidelines. APPLICATION OF Dimetric Liquid IN FLUID FERTILIZERS Dimetric Liquid may be applied in fluid fertilizer solutions to alfalfa and soybeans by following the appropriate mixing procedures and compatibility check. When using tank-mix combinations, be sure all components are compatible. Compatibility checks of Dimetric Liquid and tank-mix combinations which include Dimetric Liquid should be made for each batch of fluid fertilizer because of the variability of these fertilizers. Compatibility Check:
- Pre-mix 2 teaspoonfuls of Dimetric Liquid with 8 teaspoonfuls of water (1:4 ratio) in a quart jar by adding the water first and follow with Dimetric Liquid. Mix thoroughly. If a second herbicide is to be used, double the amount of water (1:8 ratio) and add the second herbicide after mixing Dimetric Liquid first.
- Then pour 1 pint of fluid fertilizer into the quart jar and shake well.
- Allow to stand for 5 minutes. ONLY USE THIS COMPATIBILITY CHECK WHEN MIXING WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS. Interpretation of Results: If the solution in the jar appears to be uniform, without signs of agglomeration, or without a separation of an oily film on top of the fertilizer, the mixture may be used. If not, repeat the compatibility check using twice the amount of water or add a compatibility agent to the water. If separation occurs, but the mixture can be resuspended by shaking, then application is possible with good agitation in the spray tank. Fertilizer Tank-mixing Guidelines:
- Add the required amount of water and compatibility agent (if required) to the tank. Start agitation while adding Dimetric Liquid and follow by adding the fluid fertilizer and agitate.
- If a second herbicide is to be used, follow as above in 1, but use twice the amount of water. Start agitation and add Dimetric Liquid and follow by adding the second herbicide, and then continue filling the tank with fluid fertilizer.
- Maintain continuous agitation to ensure uniform spray mixture until the tank is emptied. CHEMIGATION Dimetric Liquid may be used for application through sprinkler irrigation equipment to potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes, and asparagus as directed on this label. Refer to the crop sections of this label for specified rates, weeds controlled or suppressed, restrictions, and special precautions. Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, or solid set) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
7 Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non- uniform distribution of treated water. Calibration: (Center Pivot and Self-Propelled Lateral Move Systems): Sprinkler irrigation systems must be accurately calibrated for application of Dimetric Liquid. Greater accuracy in calibration (and distribution) will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture of product and water per hour. Follow t he steps below to calibrate center pivot and lateral move systems:
- Determine number of minutes required to make one complete revolution while applying 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water per acre.
- With the system at operating pressure determine the exact number of minutes required to inject one gallon of water.
- Divide the time required for one revolution (step 1) by the time required to inject one gallon (step 2). This gives total gallons of product-water mixture to be added to nurse tank.
- Add required amount of water to nurse tank and start the agitation system. Then add sufficient Dimetric Liquid at the specified rate (See BROADCAST APPLICATIONS) to the nurse tank. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid- operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during the herbicide application, sufficient to keep herbicide in suspension. Apply specified dosage in 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water (1/4 to 1/2 inch of water on sandy soils) per acre as a continuous injection in center pivot and lateral move systems or in the last 15 to 30 minutes of set in permanent solid set sprinkler systems. Application of more than the quantity of
8 irrigation water recommended on this label may result in decreased product performance by removing the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure that lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, an indicator dye may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period. Use a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide for injection. The use of a larger volume of water will ensure greater accuracy and more uniform distribution. AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
- The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- Nozzles must always point backwards parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
- Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
- The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 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). CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: x Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. x Pressure – Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s specified 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. x Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. x 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. x 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.
9 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. SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. 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 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determ ine 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. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversi ons 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. SENSITIVE AREAS: Dimetric Liquid should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

The 2/3 pt/acre rate of Dimetric Liquid alone can be applied regardless of soil pH. Crop injury may occur on soils having a calcareous surface area or a pH of 7.5 or higher. 2Silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions of the U.S. 3Refer to the appropriate section of this label for use of Dimetric Liquid on soybeans in coarse soils with 0.5% or more organic matter in certain states. RATE RANGES: Where a rate range is shown, use a lower rate on soils that are coarse- textured or low in organic matter. Use a higher rate on soils that are relatively fine-textured or high in organic matter. ACTIVATION: A minimum amount of soil moisture is required to activate Dimetric Liquid. In areas of low rainfall, where irrigation is available, preemergence applications to dry soil should be followed with light irrigation of 1/4 acre-inch of water. Do not apply heavy irrigation immediately after application. As with many surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil texture. REPLANTING: If replanting is necessary in fields treated with Dimetric Liquid as directed on this label, the field may be replanted to soybeans. When replanting use a minimum of tillage. DO NOT apply a second treatment as injury to soybeans may occur. PRECAUTIONS Injury to soybeans may occur when Dimetric Liquid is used under the following conditions: x When soils have a calcareous surface area or a pH of 7.5 or higher. x If applied to sensitive soybean varieties. Dimetric Liquid should not be used on certain soybean varieties. Consult your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative or your seed supplier for information on the tolerance of soybean varieties to Dimetric Liquid, prior to use of Dimetric Liquid. x When applied in conjunction with soil-applied organic phosphate pesticides. x If over applied or with boom overlapping which may result in stand loss and soil residues. x If applied unevenly or improperly incorporated which can decrease the level of weed control and/or increase the level of injury. x When applied to any soil with less than 1/2% organic matter. x When soil incorporation is deeper than specified. x When sprayers are not calibrated accurately. x When heavy rains occur soon after application, especially in poorly drained areas where water may stand for several days. x When soybeans are planted less than 1-1/2 inches deep, particularly in preemergence application. x If more than 1/2 to 1 pint of Dimetric Liquid is applied when used as a tank mix partner with other herbicides.

33 CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, OREGON AND WASHINGTON PREEMERGENCE APPLICATION – GARBANZO BEANS (CHICKPEAS) WEEDS SUPPRESSED* Dimetric Liquid Pt/Acre Common Chickweed Common Lambsquarters Dog Fennel (Mayweed) Field Pennycress Henbit Pigweed Shepherdspurse Wild Mustard 2/3 to 1 pt/A Apply specified dosage in a single preemergence application using 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre with ground spray equipment. Apply before or after planting but before crop emergence. Thorough incorporation, either by rainfall or by mechanical means, is essential for weed suppression. Under dry conditions, incorporate Dimetric Liquid into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil with spike harrows, or similar shallow incorporation equipment, then cross harrow to ensure uniform soil incorporation. Where soil surface is moist at the time of application and rain follows before weed emergence, a broadcast application should provide adequate weed suppression. Use on coarse-textured soils, sandy soils or any soil with less than 1.5% organic matter will likely cause crop injury. Use the higher rate on fine textured soils (high in clay or organic matter) and in fields with a history of high weed populations.
- Suppression is a reduction in weed size and growth compared to a non-treated area in the same field. Dimetric Liquid used alone will not control triazine-resistant weed species. PRECAUTIONS Crop injury may result if crop is under stress conditions caused by cold weather, poor soil fertility, disease or insect damage. Crop injury may result if application is followed by heavy rain. Avoid application of more than 1/2 inch of irrigation within one month after application of Dimetric Liquid, or crop injury may occur. Do not apply preemergence on shallow seedings less than 2 inches deep or crop injury may occur. Maintain continuous spray tank agitation to ensure uniform spray mixture. Avoid overlapping of spray swaths and shut off spray booms while turning, slowing or stopping, or crop injury will occur. NOTE: This treatment may cause some chlorosis or minor necrosis. Because garbanzo bean varieties may vary in their susceptibility to Dimetric Liquid, determine crop tolerance prior to adoption as a field scale practice to prevent possible injury. RESTRICTIONS Do not use on clay knobs or poorly covered subsoils. Pre-grazing Interval: Do not graze or feed treated vines to livestock within 40 days after application.
