permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow,
may result in groundwater contamination.
Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in surface
water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff ero­
sion. Follow practices to minimize the potential for
dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all
mixing equipment.
Movement by Surface Runoff or Through Soil.
DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff.
DO NOT apply to impervious substrates such as paved or
highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for
groundwater contamination. Groundwater contamination
may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse
and groundwater is near the surface. DO NOT apply to
soils classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter
and where groundwater depth is shallow (30 ft or less). To
minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination,
carefully follow the specified rates as affected by soil type in
the Application Instructions section of this label.
Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil. DO NOT
apply this product through any type of irrigation system
including sprinkler, drip, flood, or furrow irrigation. Ensure
treated areas have received at least 1/2-inch of rainfall (or
irrigation) before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of
other fields.
To avoid adverse effects on endangered plant species,
applicators must comply with the following mitigation
measures when endangered plant species are known to
occur in proximity of the application site:
• Aerial Application - Leave a 150-foot untreated buffer
between treatment area and endangered plant
populations.
• Ground Application - Use low-pressure nozzles
according to the manufacturers specifications that pro­
duce only medium-to-coarse or very coarse droplets
AND leave a 35-foot untreated buffer between treatment
area and known endangered plant populations.
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man ­
ner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply this
product in a way that will contact workers or other per­
sons. either directly or through drift. Only protected
handlers may be in the area during application. For any
requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
Unless otherwise directed in supplemental labeling, all
applicable directions, restrictions, precautions, and
Conditions of Sale and Warranty are to be followed.
This labeling must be in the users possession during
application.
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:
• Back-siphoning into wells
• Spills
• Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or
rinsate
Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source
contamination, DO NOT mix or load this pesticide product
within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and
drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams
and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs.
DO NOT apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells.
This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged
abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or
properly diked mixing/loading areas as described below.
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the
pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface
water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be
maintained at 110% of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment used on the pad and have sufficient
capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or contain­
er leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that may fall
on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to
vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the
mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional
requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational
containment.

For best performance, spray before weeds exceed the height or diameter iisted in Table 1.
2 Populations of noted weeds exist that are known to be resistant to Group 27 herbicides. Armezon PRO may not provide full-season control of these
herbicide-resistant biotypes. See Resistance Management section for practices to manage and minimize the impact of resistant weeds (e.g. tank
mix or alternate with other herbicide sites of action, crop rotation, and mechanical control).

Armezon PRO may be used sequentially or in combina­
tion with soil-applied or foliar-applied insecticides registered
for use in corn.
Crops growing under normal environment conditions are
tolerant to Armezon PRO when applied according to label
directions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing
conditions (e.g. low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme
hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high
soil salt concentration, drought). Rarely, plants under these
conditions treated with Armezon PRO may show transient
bleaching of the portion of the leaves intercepting the spray
application. Necrosis can also occur typically in warm,
humid conditions. Use of additional tank mix herbicides
and/or oil-type adjuvants may increase the potential for
necrosis. These symptoms are transient and occur infre­
quently; crop growth is typically not affected.
Insecticide Information
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
control during the growing season.
• Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage
specifications.
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season.
• Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other
herbicides possessing different sites of action that are
also effective on target weeds.
Scouting and Containment
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify
the weed species present and their growth stage to
determine if the intended application will be effective.
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
where weed control was ineffective.
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified
by failure to control a weed species normally controlled
by the herbicide at the rate applied, especially if control is
achieved on adjacent weeds; also by a spreading patch
of uncontrolled weeds of a given species and surviving
plants mixed with controlled plants of the same species.
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif­
ferent site of action or use a mechanical control measure.
DO NOT allow weed escapes to reproduce by seed or to
proliferate vegetatively. Contact your Armezon PRO
supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report
weed escapes.
• Clean equipment before moving to a different field to
avoid spread of resistant weeds.
Crop Tolerance
Armezon PRO contains two active ingredients:
topramezone and dimethenamid-R Topramezone is readily
absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots; translocates
throughout the plant; and accumulates in areas of active
growth to provide postemergence control of emerged
weeds. Dimethenamid-P is a root-and-shoot growth
inhibitor that controls susceptible germinating seedlings
before or soon after they emerge from the soil.
Topramezone controls weeds by inhibiting carotenoid
biosynthesis (HPPD-inhibitor Group 27); dimethenamid-P
is a chloroacetamide herbicide that inhibits very long chain
fatty acid production (cell division inhibitor Group 15).
Contact your local BASF representative, crop advisor, or
extension agent or find out if suspected resistant weeds to
these modes of action have been found in your region.
DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being controlled
by both modes of action provided by this product. Some
weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredi­
ents in this product.
Temperatures and moisture conditions for active plant
growth are important for optimum Armezon PRO activity.
Armezon PRO application to weeds during periods of
stress conditions, such as cold temperatures and/or
drought, may result in reduced performance.
Resistance Management
While weed resistance to Group 27 or Group 15 herbi­
cides is infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes are
known to exist. Resistance management should be part of
a diversified weed control strategy that integrates multiple
options including chemical, cultural, and mechanical
(tillage) control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop
rotation, proper fertilizer placement, optimum seeding
rate/row spacing, maintained field borders and timely
tillage. Consult your local BASF representative, state coop­
erative extension service, professional consultants, or other
qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you
suspect resistant weeds.
Chemical Control
• start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbicide
program.
Product Stewardship Requirements
• Apply Armezon® PRO herbicide postemergence to
weeds 4 inches or less in size for best performance.
• Apply Armezon PRO at the labeled rate.
• Use Armezon PRO as part of a herbicide program that
includes the use of residual herbicides and herbicides
with alternate sites of action to reduce resistance selec­
tion pressure.
• Select nozzles that produce coarse to very coarse spray
droplets.
• Maintain boom height 24 inches or less from target.
• Identify areas of sensitive nontarget plants and maintain
proper setback distance from these areas.
• Thoroughly clean spray equipment after application.

for best weed control and can be improved with proper
adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection.
Calibrate application equipment for accurate target spray
volume and application rate to ensure uniform distribution
of spray and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust
equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying
with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps
that increase rates above the labeled use rates.

section for application restrictions.
Make postemergence applications of Armezon® PRO
herbicide when weeds are small and actively growing. An
adjuvant is required with Armezon PRO for postemer­
gence activity: refer to Additives section for details.
Emerged susceptible weeds may take 3 to 4 weeks to
completely die. Armezon PRO provides residual control of
susceptible weeds. Postemergence activity may be slowed
or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather
conditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or
other stress conditions. When targeting dense weed popu­
lations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray
volumes and a higher application rate within an application
rate range.
Cultivation can be used to add diversity to a weed man ­
agement program by removing partially controlled weeds
or additional weed flushes, but delayed until 7 days after
applying Armezon PRO postemergence to allow sufficient
time for herbicide absorption and translocation.
If activating rainfall is not received within 1 week after appli­
cation of Armezon PRO, residual weed control may be
reduced.
Soil texture groups are coarse (sand, loamy sand, sandy loam),
medium (silt, silt loam, loam, sandy clay loam), and fine (sandy clay,
silty clay, silty clay loam, clay loam, and clay).

Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
Sensitive Areas
Armezon PRO must only be applied when the potential
for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endan­
gered species, or sensitive crop plants) is minimal
(e.g. when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas).
Applicators should survey the surrounding area and consult
sensitive crop registries, if available, before applying
Armezon PRO.
All application equipment must be properly maintained and
calibrated using appropriate carriers.
The applicator must be familiar with all factors that affect
spray drift. The information covered in the following spray
drift reduction review must be considered before
application.
Controlling Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to use
nozzles that produce large spray droplets. However, apply­
ing 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).
• Volume - Use high flow rate (large orifice) nozzles to
apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
higher flow rates generally produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturers
specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pres­
sure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are
needed, use higher flow rate (larger orifice) nozzles
instead of increasing pressure. Ensure sprayer rate con­
troller hardware (if so equipped) does not allow pressure
increases above the desired range.
• Temperature and Humidity - Low humidity and high
temperatures increase the evaporation of water from
spray, reducing droplet size and increasing potential for
spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low
humidity and high temperatures. Configure equipment to
produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation
when applying in hot and dry conditions. Larger droplets
have a lower surface-to-volume ratio and are impacted
less by temperature and humidity.
Temperature Inversions
DO NOT apply Armezon® PRO herbicide when tempera­
ture inversions exist. Temperature inversions increase drift
potential because fine droplets may remain suspended in
the air longer after application. Suspended droplets can
move in unpredictable directions because of the light, vari­
able 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. Inversions begin to form as the
sun sets and often continue into the morning before sur­
face warming. Their presence can be indicated by ground
fog, smoke not rising, dust hanging over a road, or pres­
ence of dew or frost. Smoke that layers and moves laterally
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while
smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates
good vertical air mixing. Inversion conditions typically dissi­
pate with increased winds (above 3 MPH) or when surface
air begins to warm (3° F from morning low).
Aerial Application Spray Drift Management
Applicators must follow these requirements to avoid off-
target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural
field crops.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type designed for aerial
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift
nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straight back pro­
duce the largest droplets and lowest drift.
• Nozzle Orientation and Location - Nozzles must
always point backward parallel with the airstream and
never point downward more than 20 degrees. Significant
deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and
increase drift potential. The distance of the outermost
nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length
of the wingspan or 90% of rotor-blade diameter.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz­
zles that provide uniform coverage.
• Application Height - Without compromising aircraft
safety, make applications at a height of 10 feet or less
above the ground, crop canopy or tallest plants.
Ground Application Spray Drift Management
• Nozzle Type - Correct nozzle selection is one of the
most important parameters in drift reduction. Use nozzles
that minimize the production of fine spray droplets less
than 150 microns. Apply Armezon PRO using nozzles
that deliver coarse to very coarse spray droplets (vol­
ume median diameter of 220 microns or more) as defined
by ASABE standard S572.1 , and as shown in the nozzle
manufacturers catalog. Select nozzles that deliver a mini­
mum flow rate of 0.3 gallons per minute at a pressure of
40 PSI (see nozzle manufacturers catalog). Venturi-type
nozzles are particularly suited to deliver droplet spec­
trums with these parameters.
• Boom Height - DO NOT allow boom height to be more
than 2 feet above the target. Decreasing the boom height
reduces exposure of droplets to environmental conditions
like evaporation and wind. Automated boom height con­
trollers are recommended with large booms to better
maintain optimum nozzle-to-target height.
• Hooded Spray Booms - Hooded spray booms are
another tool that can be used to minimize spray drift
potential. Armezon PRO may be applied using a
hooded spray boom; however, applications still must
Wind Speed and Direction
Measure wind speed at the boom height. DO NOT apply
Armezon PRO when wind speed exceeds 10 miles per
hour.
Mixing Instructions
Additives
11
DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as a carrier for postemergence
applications. Use only water as a carrier.
Maintain continuous and constant agitation throughout
mixing and application until spraying is completed.
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
tank 1/2 to 3/4 full of clean water.
2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after
each component has been added.
3. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until
all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the
product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing.
4. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fertil­
izers such as AMS or UAN)
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility
jar test.
1. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups
(800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates
accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at
the source temperature.
2. Add components in the sequence indicated in the fol­
lowing mixing order instructions using 2 teaspoons for
each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use
rate per acre.
3. Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component
additions.
4. When the components have all been added to the jar, let
the solution stand for 15 minutes.
5. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface;
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or thick
(clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compati­
ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a
suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then com ­
patible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its
label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix
the ingredients in the same tank.
Tank Mixing instructions
adhere to other ground application requirements in this
label.
• Equipment Ground Speed - Slower speeds generally
result in better spray coverage and deposition on the tar­
get area.
Postemergence applications of Armezon® PRO herbicide
require addition of an adjuvant and a nitrogen fertilizer
source to achieve optimum weed control. BASF recom­
mends the use of Chemical Producers and Distributors
Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
Adjuvants
• Armezon PRO Alone - Use methylated seed oil (MSO)
or petroleum-based or vegetable seed-based oil concen­
trate (COC, HSOC) with Armezon PRO. Apply these
oil-based adjuvant concentrates at 0.5 to 1.0 gallon per
100 gallons of water [0.5% to 1.0% volume/volume (v/v)].
Use the higher rate when applying during periods of hot,
dry weather.
Use of oil-type adjuvants (COC, HSOC, and MSO)
increases the potential for necrosis a few days after treat­
ment and occasionally crop height reduction.
OR
Nitrogen Fertilizer
Recommended nitrogen-based fertilizers include urea
ammonium nitrate (UAN; 28% or 34%) at 1.25 to 2.5 gal­
lons per 100 gallons of water (1.25% to 2.5% v/v). Instead
of liquid fertilizer, spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at a
minimum rate of 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water
may be used. Use the higher rate when applying during
periods of hot, dry weather.
Deposition Aids
Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may be
used in applications with Armezon PRO. Not all deposi­
tion aids are compatible with every nozzle type and
pesticide/adjuvant combination. Check with the additive
manufacturer to ensure the deposition aid will work proper­
ly with the spray nozzle, spray pressure, and your specific
spray solution. Use of a deposition aid does not replace the
need for proper nozzle selection (see Ground Application
Spray Drift Management section).
Tank Mixing Information
Armezon PRO may be tank mixed with one or more regis­
tered herbicide products according to the specific tank
mixing instructions in this label and respective product
labels. Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that
the respective tank mix products are registered for the spe­
cific crop use; follow required rotational crop restrictions.
Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations
and Directions For Use on all product labels involved in
tank mixing. Always follow the most restrictive label use
directions; refer to Crop-Specific Information section for
details.
• All Tank Mixtures - Use nonionic surfactant (NIS) at
0.25 to 0.5 gallon per 100 gallons of water [0.25% to
0.5% volume/volume (v/v)] with Armezon PRO. Use the
higher rate when making an application during periods of
hot, dry weather.
Oil-type adjuvants (COC, HSOC, and MSO) may be used
in tank mixtures with Armezon PRO. However, combina­
tions with these adjuvants can cause elevated necrosis
within a few days after treatment and occasionally crop
height reduction. Oil-type adjuvants are not recommend ­
ed when tank mixing with atrazine.

Crop-specific Information
13
DO NOT apply to sand-texture soil with less than 3%
organic matter (as determined by soil tests, if not known)
where depth to groundwater is 30 feet or less.
Use Armezon PRO at no more than 20 fl ozs/A for all soil
types in popcorn, seed corn, and sweet corn.
Up to 2 applications of Armezon PRO may be made dur­
ing a growing season. Sequential applications must be
separated by 2 weeks or more and must not exceed more
than a cumulative amount of 28 fl ozs/A of Armezon PRO.
See Sequential Herbicide Combinations and Uses for
additional information.
• DO NOT use Armezon PRO in California on sweet com
unless otherwise directed by supplemental labeling.
• Armezon PRO is not for sale, distribution, or use in
Nassau and Suffolk counties of New York State.
This section provides use directions for Armezon® PRO
herbicide in specific crops; read product information,
application instructions, weeds controlled, and additive
instructions in preceding sections of the label. Read and
follow tank mix product labels for restrictions, precautions,
instructions, and rotational crop restrictions.
Depending on specific crop application directions,
Armezon PRO may be applied for postemergence control
of emerged broadleaf weeds and/or residual control of ger­
minating broadleaf weed seeds before crop planting
(preplant and/or preseed) and after planting
(preemergence, postemergence). Refer to Table 1 for list
of weeds controlled or suppressed.
Armezon PRO may be tank mixed or applied sequentially
to broaden the spectrum or increase the length of residual
weed control. Refer to tank mix product labels to confirm
the respective tank mix products are registered for use on
specific corn types and follow the label restrictions for the
most restrictive tank mix product. Not all corn products are
registered on popcorn, seed corn, and sweet corn.
Photosystem II inhibitors (Group 5 herbicides) including
atrazine are known to enhance the activity of
HPPD-inhibitor (Group 27 herbicides) containing herbi­
cides like Armezon PRO. Thus, additional com necrosis
can frequently be observed when tank mixing
Armezon PRO with atrazine.
Armezon PRO may be used in tank mixes or sequential
applications with other herbicides registered for use in
corn. If Armezon PRO is tank mixed with other herbicides,
follow label restrictions for the most restrictive tank mix
product.
Application Rate
Armezon PRO application rates vary by soil texture and
organic matter (refer to Table 2). Soil texture groups used
in this label are coarse (sand, loamy sand, sandy loam),
medium (silt, silt loam, loam, sandy clay loam), and fine
(sandy clay, silty clay, silty clay loam, clay loam, and clay).
Applying Armezon PRO at rates lower than those listed in
Table 2 will result in reduced weed control and increase
the potential for herbicide resistance development. See
Resistance Management section of this label for addi­
tional information.
Use of additional tank mix herbicides and/or oil-type adju­
vants may increase the potential for necrosis. These
symptoms are transient and occur infrequently: crop
growth is typically not affected.
Sequential Herbicide Combinations and Uses
Armezon PRO at rates shown in Table 2 may be applied
as the postemergence component of a planned two-pass
sequential program. If using other dimethenamid-P con­
taining products in a sequential program, DO NOT apply
more than 1.125 pounds per acre of dimethenamid-P
(24 fl ozs/A equivalent of Outlook® herbicide).
Armezon PRO may be applied in sequence with products
containing isoxaflutole (e.g. Balance® Flexx herbicide) if
the isoxaflutole rate used is less than or equal to
0.0625 pound active ingredient per acre (equal to 4 fl ozs/A
of Balance Flexx).
Corn Restrictions
Application Timing
• Field Corn and Popcorn - Armezon PRO may be
applied from corn preemergence to V8 stage or
