2. It is important to calibrate thE:! spray equipment with Whip 1 EC Herbicide in 
the spray solution. The spray swath width and total volume per acre may 
vary when compared to other rice herbicides. 
3. A flow rneter is recommended to obtain proper water volume (gpa). 
B. Ground Application: Apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per broadcast 
acre. Flat fan or hollow cone nozzles are recommended. Use a minimum 
pressure of 40 PSI. Under dense weed/crop canopies, high spray pressure and 
increased gallonage is very important in obtaining thorough coverage. 
To Insure thorough coverage and to avoid drift, DO NOT APPLY when the 
wind speed exceeds 8 mph. 
TIMING OF APPLICATION 
When recommended water management practices are followed (see Water 
Management section), optimal conditions for controlling grass usually occur when the 
rice is in the early to late tillering stage of development (but prior to panicle initiation). 
However, applications should be made in accordance with the following procedure and 
Rate Recommendation Tables. 
To detennlne the correct rate per acre to be applied to obtain satisfactory weed 
control, use either the rice stage of growth or the days after planting method. 
Utilize the rice stage of growth method unless cultural practices or weed density 
minimize the number of tillers developing on the rice, than use the days after planting 
method of rate selection,

injury and associated yield reduction. .. 
FOR THE CONTROL OF SPRANGLETOP (LEPTOCHLOA SPP.) AND WATERGRASS 
(ECHINOCHLOA SpP.Jj 
For the control of sprangletop, applications should be made prior to the emergence of 
the sprangletop panicle. Applications made follOWing sprangletop panicle emergence 
may result in regrowth. 
For the control of sprangletop and watergrass, thorough coverage of the target weed is 
critically important if optimum results are to be achieved. Sprangletop and watergrass 
may not be controlled if they are sheltered by rice or other weeds and do not receive 
thorough coverage. Applications to dense stands of sprangletop or watergrass or 
large sprangletop plants or watergrass plants (3 tillers or more) make adequate 
coverage difficult to achieve. Suppression of larger (3 tillers or more) or partially 
covered weeds may be expected, with regrowth possible. Under these conditions, 
increasing the application rate to the maximum allowed for the existing rice stage of 
growth, while at the same time increasing the number of gallons of water applied per 
acre to 15 to 20 gallons per acre is recommended. 
Escaped weeds may be retreated with Whip 1 EC Herbicide, however, do not make a 
second application of Whip 1 EC Herbicide sooner than 14 days after the first 
application. Do not apply more than 2.4 pints per acre per growing season. 
WATER MANAGEMENT 
A sufficient portion of the target grassy weed plant must be exposed to Whip 1 EC 
Herbicide for satisfactory control to be achieved. Therefore, if necessary, lower or 
allow water to recede so that at least 70% of the grassy weed foliage is exposed above 
the water level. Do not increase the water level for at least 3 days following the 
application of Whip 1 EC Herbicide. A shallow flood (being no deeper than 50% of the 
height of the ri(;8) may be slowly brought back onto the field following this period. 
Flood depth may be increased to a height greater than 50% of the height of the rice 
after an interval of 17days following application. 
Rice in areas of unusually deep water (inlet checks or low areas within a field) r.iay 
experience injury following a Whip 1 EC Herbicide application. If pOSSible, lower the 
water so these areas are under a shallow flood (no deeper than 50% of the hei~ht· .:;1 . 
the rice) for an interval of 17 days following application.

WHIP® 1EC HERBICIDE 
FOR SELECTIVE POSTEMERGENCE ANNUAL GRASS CONTROL IN RICE 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
Whip 1 EC Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate for use in the selective 
postemergence control of annual grassy weeds in rice. Thorough spray coverage of 
emerged grasses is important. Visible effects begin as a general chlorosis (yellowing) 
followed by death of the weed. Visible injury of the grasses is evident approximately 4-
10 days after application (dependent upon environmental conditions); but complete kill 
of the target grass will take 12-21 days. 
Since many grass crops, including sorghum and corn, are sensitive to Whip 1 EC 
Herbicide, avoid all direct or indirect contact to neighboring fields. 
Whip 1 EC Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges. 
CHEMIGATION 
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its 
labeling. Do not apply until you have read the entire labal. Do not apply this product in 
a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only 
protected h<!~dlers may be in the area during application. 
For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for 
pesticide regulation.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection 
Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection 
of a:- icultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers 
of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, 
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and 
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective 
equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only 
apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. 
Do not enter or allow worker entry into tr~ated areas during the restricted entry 
interval (REI) of 24 hours. 
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Woo ker 
Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been tre: ~ted. 
slich as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls; chemical-resistant gloves, such as barrier 
laminate, butyl rubber ~14 mils, nitrile rubber ~14 mils or viton ~14 mils; shoes plus 
socks' protective e'yewear. 
Rice is tolerant to postemergence applications of Whip 1 EC Herbicide fr.Jm the early to 
late tillering stage of rice development. Always plant high quality seed in order to 
obtain a uniform germination and a good rice stand. Postemergence applications may 
result in temporary rice injury that appears as leaf chlorosis and stunting. The rice will 
normally recover from these symptoms in 2 to 4 weeks. 
Whip 1 EC Herbicide is a contact herbicide. Optimum weed control is obtained only 
when target weeds are thoroughly covered. Wf':ed control can only be achieved when 
application guidelines are followed. 
Use instructions, particularly water management, must be followed to minimize rice 
injury. Read and follow all label directions carefully.

ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTIONS OF WHIP 1EC HERBICIDE ON RICE: 
Whip 1 EC Herbicide is absorbed into the rice plant and then metabolized into inactive 
components over a period of 3 to 5 days. This metabolism process is associated with 
rice plant growth. Rice plant growth and the metabolism process are increased under 
sunny conditions, with daily temperatures exceeding 65 of. If daily average 
temperatures fall below 65 of andlor rainy, foggy, cloudy, or inclement weather 
persists, the growth and metabolism rates of the rice plant are reduced. In such 
situations, the ability of the rice plant to metabolize the Whip 1 EC Herbicide is 
decreased which could result !n injury to the rice plant. To help prevent possible 
environmentaUrice injury interactions, the following precaution should be taken. 
1. When the daily average temperature is below 65·F, or is predicted to be below 
65 of for 3 consecutive days, do not apply Whip 1 EC Herbicide. 
APPLICATION INFORMATION 
Grassy crops, such as com and sorghum, are extremely sensitive and drift onto these 
grassy crops must be avoided. 
A.) AIR APPLICA nON: Apply aerially using a minimum of 1 0 gallons of water per 
broadcast acre. It is recommended to increase the water gallonage above the 
aforementioned 10 gallons per broadcast acre minimum when weed populations 
are high, andlor when the rice andlor weed stage of growth has increased 
sufficiently to make adequate coverage of the weeds unlikely when applying the 
minimum suggested gallonage. Thorough and uniform spray coverage of 
emerged weeds is essential in order to obtain satisfactory control. Such 
coverage is best achieved by the use of a spray droplet size ranging from 150 to 
300 microns. A hydraulic boom-nozzle system that will apply 10 gallons of water 
per acre with a minimum pressure of 20 pounds per square inch is 
recommended. Best results are obtained with 0-8 nozzles. DO NOT USE 
raindrop nozzles. To obtain particle size distribution, it is necessary to orientate 
nozzles to at least 45° down and back or include a swirl core within the nozzle 
body. Aerial applications with this product should be made at a height which 
provides the most effective swath width for the aircraft and yet provides the 
recommended rates given on this label and uniform application; however, 1<' 'lot 
fly belOw 10 feet above the canopy. 
DO NOT APPLY by aircraft when wind speeds exceed 8 mph. Avoid all 
direct or Indirect contact to neighbOring fields. 
Special Notes: 
1. Thoroughly clean mixing vat and airplane by rinsing with clean water:b-afcre 
Whip 1 EC Herbicide is added. .
