WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Command 2ME, which contains the active ingr edient clomazone, is a group 13 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operati ons and/or other cultural practices. Rese arch has demonstrated that using the lab eled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
Page 3 of 17
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance management program. T o aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should: • Scout fields before applicati on to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present. • Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches) with a burndown herbicide. • To minimize resistance, apply full labeled rates of Command 2ME. • Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species. • Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively. • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. • Contact your FMC representative, crop adviso r, or extension agent to find out if sus pected resistant weeds to this MOA have b een found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product speci fied for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed e scapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 13 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. • Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds ma y be identified by these indicators:
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose ap plied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. • Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
- Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other si tes of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
- Utilize sequential applications of herbici des with alternative sites of action.
- Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 13 herbicides.
- Avoid making more than two applications of Command 2ME an d any other Group 13 herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
- Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mech anical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
- Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
- Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
- Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

Page 6 of 17
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. W hile applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift wi ll be greater if applications are made improperly or under u nfavorable environmental conditions.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – GROUND BOOM x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger drople ts are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical s pray 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 no zzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the int ended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
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.
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. Temperatur e 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 an aircraft smoke gene rator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an in version, while smoke that moves upward and ra pidly dissipates indicates good vertica l air mixing Avoid applications during temperature inversions
WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
RESTRICTIONS Non-target spray drift of Command 2ME herbicide must be avoided to prevent whitening of desirable plants. Drift is influenced by many factors which include wind speed, spray pressure, particle size, nozzle type, and boom height. The use of an agriculturally approved drift reducing additive is advised. Follow specific product label instructions for the order of addition of all products to the spray tank. Small quantities need be tested for compatibility before mixing tankful quantities. x A minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre is required with appropriate nozzle types and sizes that produce coarser sprays. x DO NOT exceed 30 psi spray pressure. x When moving spray equipment to noncontiguous sites, DO NOT allow spray solution to spray or dr ip from tanks, hoses, fittings or spray nozzles and tips.
Suggested Nozzle Types, Minimum Size and Pressure Ranges for Minimizing Drift (See “SPECIAL PRECAUTION” in the Cotton use section for further restrictions) Selection and proper use of spray equipment is critical in minimizing spray drift. The following table suggests pressures, flow rates, and nozzle sizes for drift reduction using various nozzle types.
Nozzle Pressure Range (PSI) Minimum Flow Rate Within Pressure Range (GPM) Minimum Nozzle Size Flat-fan 15-30 0.3 #4* LP-flat-fan 10-25 0.3 #3 Even flat-fan** 15-30 0.3 #4 Flood 10-25 0.3 #2.5* Whirl-chamber 5-20 0.3 #5 Raindrop 15-30 0.15 #2 Wide angle full cone 15-30 0.3 #5

ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS Under some conditions, temporary whitening or yellowing of leaves may occur on appr oved rotational crops where undesirable soil residues of Command 2ME exist. Under abnormal conditions, carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The following factors can contribute to increased ri sk of injury to rotational crops:
- Exceeding label required rates.
- Overapplication resulting from use of wor n nozzles, excessive overlapping of spray swaths, failing to shut off spray booms w hen turning (end row areas), or slowing or stopping sprayer.
- Soil with pH less than or equal to 5.9.
- Extreme dryness in the four months following application.,
- Use of organophosphate soil insecticide followed by use of some postemergence corn herbicides.
- Choice of rotational crop hybrid.
Additional instructions to prevent rotational crop injury may be provided in the form of service bulletins for location where r isk of injury is significantly increased due to extremely dry conditions.
Refer to Rotational Crop Guidelines and Replanting Instructions of specific crops for additional crop planting information.
SPECIAL PRECAUTION Off-site movement of spray drift or vapors of Command 2ME herbi cide can cause foliar whitening or yellowing of some plants. Prior to making applications read and strictly follow all precautions and application instructions on this label.
GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Ground Applications Broadcast or Banded Applications: Apply Command 2ME alone or in tank mix combinati ons by ground equipment using a finished spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre. NOTE: The use of an agriculturally approved drift reducing additive is advised. Use nozzles suitable for broadcast boom or banded application of herbicides. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. For Command 2ME tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, nozzle screens and strainers should be no finer than 50- mesh. 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.
Banded Applications-Calculate the rates and volumes required by using the following formulas:
Band width in inches Row width in inches X Broadcast Rate Per Acre = Band rate per acre
Band width in inches Row width in inches X Broadcast Volume Per Acre = Band volume per acre
Cultivation After Planting Soil treated with Command 2ME may be shallow-cultivated, rotary-hoed or hand-hoed without reducing the weed control activity of Command 2ME. Avoid deep cultivation which may bring untreated soil to the surface and result in poor weed control.
COMMERCIAL IMPREGNATION AND APPLICATION OF COMMAND 2ME ON DRY BULK FERTILIZERS Command 2ME herbicide may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers. When applied as directed Command 2ME/dry bulk fertilizer mixt ures provide weed control equal to that provided by the same rates of Command 2ME applied in water.
Impregnation: Apply using a minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 pounds per acre with the specified amount of Command 2ME herbicide per acre. Use a closed rotary-drum mixer or a simila r type of closed blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. The spray nozzle (s) need to be positioned to provide a uniform, fine spray pattern over the tumbling fertilizer for thorough coverage. The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particularly in liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity i s sufficient, simple spray impregnation of the fertilizer with Command 2ME provides a satisfactory, dry mixture. If the absorptive capacity is inade quate use of a highly absorptive powder is required to prov ide a dry, flowable mixture. Microcel E (Johns-Manvill Products Corporation) is a s uggested absorbent powder. Generally, less than 2% by weight of Microcel E is required. DO NOT impregnate Command 2ME onto straight coated ammonium nitrate or straight limestone becaus e these materials will not absorb the her bicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnated with Command 2ME.
The amount of Command 2ME actually required in the preparation of individual fertilizer mixtures needs to be determined careful ly for each production operation. This is necessary to ensure that the amount of pesticide actually contained in the mixture applied to the soil represents the correct rate of use. Bulk fertilizer impregnated with Command 2ME herbicide need s to be applied immediately, not stored. Al l state regulations, labeling, etc., of the mixtures are the responsibility of the seller.
Page 8 of 17
For those rates not listed in the following t able, calculate the amount of Command 2ME to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk f ertilizer using the following formula:
2000 x PINTS of Command 2ME per acre (rate for soil texture) = PINTS of Command 2ME per ton of fertilizer Pounds dry fertilizer per acre
RATE CHART FOR IMPREGNATION OF DRY BULK FERTILIZERS WITH COMMAND 2ME HERBICIDE PINTS OF COMMAND 2ME PER TON OF FERTILIZER Fertilizer Rate (lb/A) Command 2ME Rate Per Acre 3.0 pt (0.75 lb ai) 4.0 pt (1.0 lb ai) 5.0 pt (1.25 lb ai) 200 30 40 50 250 24 32 40 300 20 26 ⅔ 33 ⅓ 350 17 23 28 400 15 20 23 450 13 ⅓ 18 22
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty , use diesel oil or other suitable additiv e to reduce dust prior to impregnation a s dusty fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application. Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where the impregnated fertilizer is not uniformly applied. PRECAUTIONS FOR DRY BULK FERTILIZER IMPREGNATION AND APPLICATION WITH COMMAND 2ME x All equipment used to apply Command2ME must be thoroughly clean ed immediately following use to ensure no contamination results which could cause injury to non-labeled crops or desirable vegetation. Refer to "SPRAYER CLEANUP" section for additional details and disposal of rinsates. x Equipment used to physically transport Comma nd 2ME treated fertilizer, including boots, augers, conveyers, bins, etc. must be covered to prevent loss of fine particles and subjected to cleanup procedures previously described. x Mixing of Command 2ME herbicide and dry fertilizer must be con ducted in a blender which will ensure that airborne particles an d potential for volatilization are avoided. x Bulk containers must be tightly covered while the product is bei ng transported and applied to reduce chances of Command 2ME volatilization or product loss. Restriction: Dry Bulk Fertilizer impregnation operations using Command 2ME not be conducted within 1/4 mile of residential areas or areas where Command 2ME symptomology on desirable vegetation would not be tolerated.

Failure to apply either disulfoton or phorate insectic ides with Command 2ME in accordance with in-furrow label use directions c an result in crop phytotoxicity (bleaching) and/or stand reducti on. Combinations of at planting systemic granular carbamate and organophosphate insecticides in conjunction with Command 2ME may result in injury to cotton. Crop injury may occur with higher Command 2ME rates on sandy soils. Diuron must not be used at planting when Command 2ME is used as plant injury may result.
Refer to the insecticide product labels for appropriate in-furrow application directions and maximum use rates. Monitor application equipment to insure accurate and uniform placement of the insecticide. PREEMERGENT BANDED APPLICATIONS For preemergent banded treatments, refer to the directions for banded applications in the “GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS” section.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS If the initial planting of cotton fails to produce a uniform stand, cotton may be replanted in fields treated with Command 2ME alone. DO NOT retreat fields with a second application of Command 2ME. When ta nk mixing with a labeled produc t, refer to the replant instruct ions for that product. DO NOT replant treated fields with any crop at in tervals that are inconsistent with the “ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES” on the Command 2ME label. Where a tank mix is used, refer to the product's labels for any additional replant instructions.
If replanting is required, follow the directions under “REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANTING TIME APPLICATIONS” noted above.
RESTRICTIONS DO NOT apply Command within 65 days of harvest. DO NOT apply more than 5 pt/A (1.25 lb ai/A) of Command 2ME per application DO NOT apply more than 5 pt/A (1.25 lb ai/A) of Command 2ME per year.
