USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove PPE/clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and fish, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic plants. Use with care when applying to areas frequented by wildlife or adjacent to any body of water. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
Groundwater Advisory MCPA is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.
This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application.
A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of MCPA from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Non-Target Organism Advisory This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls, chemical- resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber > 14 mils, neoprene rubber > 14 mils, or viton > 14 mils, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and protective eyewear.
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to the use of this product on non-residential turf grass areas that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
PRODUCT INFORMATION BISON is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing the equivalent of 2 lbs. per gallon of bromoxynil and 2 pounds per gallon of MCPA acid. BISON is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting wheat, barley, oats, rye, flax, CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) areas, and grasses grown for seed. Optimum weed control is obtained when BISON is applied to actively growing weed seedlings. BISON is primarily a contact herbicide; therefore, thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for optimum control.
BISON has little residual activity. Therefore, subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial treatment. Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain crops or short-straw varieties, for example, Yaccora Rojo wheat, may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to shade the subsequent flushes of weeds.
Occasional transitory leaf burn may occur. The temporary leaf burn is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer. Because the activity of BISON is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting effect. Frequency and amount of leaf burn may be greater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to cold evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that caused by hail, sleet, or insect feeding. To reduce the potential for temporary leaf burn, applications should be made to dry foliage in the recommended spray volumes per acre when weather conditions are not extreme.
General Use Restrictions x Do not apply with backpack or hand-held application equipment. x Do not apply to residential, playground, school yard or golf course turf. x Aerial applications to fallow land is restricted within 25 feet of residential areas (e.g., homes, schools, playgrounds, shopping areas, hospitals, etc.).

MIXING, LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
See the ENGINEERING CONTROLS section for additional information.
BISON ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the recommended amount of BISON. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application.
TANK MIXTURES: BISON can be applied in tank mixture with many other herbicides and insecticides registered for use on approved crops. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products 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. Refer to the specific crop section for rate directions and other restrictions.
To apply BISON in mixture with another product, fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and begin agitation. If tank mixing with wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable or dry flowable products, add the powder or flowable product first. After the other herbicide is thoroughly mixed with water, add the directed amount of BISON and add water to the spray tank to the desired level. If tank mixing with other product types, add the BISON first before adding the other product. Always mix one product in water thoroughly before adding another product or compatibility problems may occur. Never mix two products together without first mixing in water.
Maintain sufficient agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. If spray mixture is allowed to remain without agitation for short periods of time, be sure to agitate until uniformly mixed before application.
If tank mixing with products other than those listed within each crop section, a compatibility test is recommended to ensure satisfactory spray preparation. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 quart) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5 to 15 minutes after mixing. To ensure maximum crop safety and weed control, follow all cautions and limitations on this label and the labels of products used in the tank mixture with BISON .
SPRAYABLE LIQUID FERTILIZERS AND SPRAY ADDITIVES BISON can be applied in combination with sprayable liquid fertilizer or spray additives such as surfactants or crop oil concentrate. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology certified adjuvant.
When tank mixing with liquid fertilizer, always add the fertilizer to the spray tank first and agitate thoroughly before adding BISON. Always predetermine the compatibility with liquid fertilizer by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Agitation must be maintained during filling and application operations to ensure that BISON is evenly mixed with the fertilizer. Leaf burn may occur when BISON is applied with liquid fertilizer, but new leaves are not adversely affected.
NOTICE: Fertilizers and spray additives can increase foliage leaf burn when applied with BISON. Do not apply fertilizers or spray additives with BISON if leaf burn is a major concern due to environmental conditions, crop or variety sensitivity to BISON.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES BISON can be applied to registered use areas by ground, aerial and sprinkler irrigation equipment.
GROUND APPLICATION Use a standard herbicide boom sprayer that provides uniform and accurate application. Sprayer should be equipped with screens no finer than 50 mesh in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers.
Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage. Raindrop ® nozzles and flood nozzles are not recommended as weed control with BISON may be reduced. In general, a spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray coverage. A minimum of 5
6 of 17
GPA with a minimum spray pressure of 50 psi and a maximum ground speed of 10 mph may be used with higher speed, low volume ground application if ground terrain, crop and weed density allow effective spray distribution. When using higher speed equipment, a maximum ground speed of 10 mph is suggested if field conditions cause excessive boom movement during application which results in poor spray coverage.
Ground applications made when dry, dusty field conditions exist may provide reduced weed control in wheel track areas. Applications using less than 10 gallons per acre may result in reduced weed control.
When weed infestations are heavy, use of higher spray volumes and spray pressure will be helpful in obtaining uniform weed coverage. When the crop is large enough to interfere with the spray pattern, drop nozzles should be used to obtain uniform weed coverage. If you are unsure of the infestation level or size of crop, consult your local extension service.
See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of the label for mandatory spray drift mitigation measures and spray drift advisories.
AERIAL APPLICATION Unless otherwise specified on this label use a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre . A minimum spray volume of 3 gallons per acre may be used if crop canopy and weed density allow adequate spray coverage. Aerial applications using less than 5 gallons of spray volume per acre may result in reduced weed control.
Human flaggers are prohibited unless in an enclosed vehicle.
Aerial applications to fallow land is restricted within 25 feet of residential areas (e.g., homes, schools, playgrounds, shopping areas, hospitals, etc.).
See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of the label for mandatory spray drift mitigation measures and spray drift advisories. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the poten tial for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications: x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572 and S641). x The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor diameter x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Ground Boom Applications: x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Boomless Ground Applications: x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet Size (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not appl y during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
Importance of Droplet Size An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
Boom Height – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
Release Height - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
Shielded Sprayers Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
Boomless Ground Applications Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift .
Temperature and Humidity When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
Temperature Inversions Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or a 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.
Wind Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
Sensitive Areas The pesticide 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 endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION BISON Herbicide can be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems to small grains (wheat, barley, oats and rye) and grasses grown for seed or sod.
Important: Apply BISON Herbicide through fixed pipe, overhead sprink ler, or hand-moved pipe irrigation systems only. If hand moved pipe is used for chemigation, the pipe must not be handled in any way until 24 hours after chemigation has been completed and residues have been flushed from the system. When applying by chemigation, no person may enter the application site unless in an enclosed vehicle. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH AUTOMATED SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM
- 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 and 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.
- Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank when applying the BISON Herbicide.
- BISON Herbicide should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application with center pivot and continuous lateral move systems. Application of BISON Herbicide should be made during the last 30-45 minutes of the irrigation set with other overhead sprinkler systems.
- For best performance, set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre.
- Remove scale, pesticide residues and other foreign matter from the supply tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water.
- If BISON Herbicide is diluted in the supply tank, fill the tank with half of the water amount desired, add the BISON and then add remaining water amount with agitation. Always dilute with at least 4 parts water to 1 part BISON.
- Start the sprinklers and then inject BISON Herbicide into the irrigation line. BISON should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. Refer to the BISON Herbicide label for detailed information on application rates and timings.
CHEMIGATION USER PRECAUTIONS Application of more than 0.5 inch/acre of irrigation water may result in decreased product performance on certain soils.
Do not apply when conditions favor drift, when system co nnections or fittings leak , or when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all the lines and nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system.
9 of 17
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operations, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Bison contains both a Group 4 herbicide (MCPA) and a Group 6 herbicide (Bromoxynil). Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 and/or Group 6 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides, within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons, with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. x Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. x Scout fields after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds. o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species. o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed. x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
