Do not apply under condition~ which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: • Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions. the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils. Do not use tailwat£r from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment. Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas: Use low pressure application equipment capable of producing a large droplet spray. Do not use nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure adequate coverage with large droplet size sprays. Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface. Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3-10 mph). Do not apply when wind (MaN 8404 Formulation Update) 8 /,,, . . \ I • )

) velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid application when gusts approach 15 mph. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas.

Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled tank mixtures of this product with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the "STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST" section in this label to determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier. • Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate carrier as follows:

1. Place a 20 to 3S mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with the appropriate carriel·.
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank. Use only compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use. (MON 8404 Formulation Update) 10

) Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for adequate agitation. 4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable eormulation is used, make a slurry with water and add it slowly through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation. 5. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when flowable is pre-mixed one part flowable with one part water and added to the tank in diluted form. 6. Add this product slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form. 7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If Roundup® or Gramoxone lM Extra is used, add the required amount near the end of the filling process. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keer by-pass line on or near bottom of tank'to mlnlmlze foaming. Screen siza in nozzle or line strdiners should be SO mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist.

STAHDARD SPRAYABLB PLUID PBRTILIZBR COMPATIBILITY TBST Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the compone~cs is suggested to provide compatibility potential. The test follows: A. Katerial. Required Por A COlllpatibility Te.t

1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and ·without") . (MON 8404 Formulation Update) 1 1 II ;,

1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar marked "with" and "without". Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer To Two Quart Jars. WITH WITHOUT
2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 Teaspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.) To Jar Marked "With" Add Compatibility Agent And Shake to Mix. WITH WITHOUT
3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one is used, add them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and liquid last.

For changes in spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.

1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary. Five minutes after the final addition and m1x1ng, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily particJes in the solution. If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the compatibility agent added, the l1quid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank. If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended. (MON 8404 Formulation Update) 13

) ) Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour: If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers. If the herbicide (s) is compatible with flui'! fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank.

) ) ~. DO NOT impregnate this product or tank mixtures of this product with other herbicides on fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate. Spread the herbicide-dry fertilizer mixture uniformly with a properly calibrated applicator: dribble, pneumatic (air flow) or spin. When using spin applicators, fertilizers impregnated with this product or tank mixtures of this product with other herbicides must be spread at half-rate and overlapped 100 percent to obtain full rate and uniform distribution. Non-uniform spreading of the fertilizer-herbicide mixture may result in unsatisfactory weed control or crop injury. APPLICATION TIKIRG AHD KBTHODS ROTB. Only one treatment of this product may be applied to a labeled crop. Barly Preplant Surface--This product and some labeled tank mixtures of this product may be applied in no-till and other conservation tillage systems before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before planting field corn or silage corn. Split applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to planting with 60 percent of the recommended broadcast rate applied initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Applications made less than 30 days prior to planting can be made either as a split or as a single application. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply this product in tank mixture with an appropriate contact herbicide. Observe directions for use, precautions and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. During the planting operation, be careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be reduced. Pre_ergeDce Surface ApplicatioD--This product and all labeled tank mixtures may be applied to the soil surface· after planting and prior to either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of last preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after treatment, or if treatment is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone. The amount of precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil mixture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/4 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. Performance is improved When moisture is received within 7 days after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or excessive rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control. PreplaDt IDcorporatioD--This product and many of the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed into the soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time within 7 days prior to planting. Apply the recommended treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast application. Either existing soil moisture or subsequent precipitation or irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide treatments (MaN 8404 Formulation Update) 17

) ) into contact with germinating weed seedlings. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance. l-Pass Incorporation (Surface Blend TK ): Shallowly incorporate (Surface Blend) the treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Equipment should be operated at manufacturer's designed speed for incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design including any drag attachments must be adequate to avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. Soil conditions, including moisture content and crop residue levels, must be suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing with the equipment used for 1-pass incorporation. Contact Monsanto Company for additional information regarding recommended equipment and methods for Surface Blend Application. 2-Pass Incorporation: When 2-pass incorporation is used, shallowly incorporate the herbicide treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil with equipment set to work the soil NO'DEEPER THAN 4 INCHES. The second pass must be made at an angle to and no deeper than the first pass to ensure proper distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil. Culti"atioll Illfo~tioD--Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment. If a band application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to throw soil into the row covering the band.
