Dear Terri Moss:
|
||
|
||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),
|
||
as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your application to
|
||
support the Registration Review of the above referenced product in connection with the
|
||
Flumioxazin Interim Decision, and has concluded that your submission is acceptable. The label
|
||
referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under FIFRA, as amended, is
|
||
acceptable.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
|
||
be aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
|
||
Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the
|
||
product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E).
|
||
40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In
|
||
addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on
|
||
the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration
|
||
process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website
|
||
contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved
|
||
registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance
|
||
Assurance.

||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the
|
||
mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target plants and aquatic organisms in
|
||
neighboring areas. DO NOT apply where runoff is likely to occur. DO NOT apply when weather conditions
|
||
favor drift from treated areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or
|
||
rinsate.
|
||
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to plants. Use strictly in accordance with the drift and run-off precautions on this
|
||
label in order to minimize off-site exposures.
|
||
|
||
Under some conditions this product may have a potential to run-off to surface water or adjacent land.
|
||
Where possible, use methods which reduce soil erosion, including no till, limited till and contour plowing;
|
||
these methods also reduce pesticide run-off. Use of vegetation filter strips along rivers, creeks, streams,

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
BL3® uses:
|
||
|
||
• BL3 provides residual control of susceptible weeds.
|
||
• BL3 provides additional burndown activity when used as part of a burndown program.
|
||
• BL3 may be applied as part of a fall burndown program for control of susceptible winter annuals.
|
||
• Read tank mix product label for rates and weeds controlled. Always read and follow label directions
|
||
for all tank mix products before using. The most restrictive labeling of any tank mix product must be
|
||
followed. BL3, when applied according to label use directions, will control the weeds claimed in crop
|
||
specific use directions. This label makes no claims concerning control of other weed species.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
BL3 needs rainfall or irrigation to activate. BL3 will form a weed barrier, cultivation after application will
|
||
reduce this weed barrier. BL3 inhibits the synthesis of a precursor of chlorophyll, causing rapid
|
||
destruction of contacted tissue.
|
||
• Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils and/or applications made
|
||
under cool, wet conditions.
|
||
• Risk of crop injury can be minimized by using on well drained soils, planting at least 15 inches
|
||
deep, using high quality seed and completely covering seeds with soil prior to preemergence
|
||
applications.
|
||
• Treated soil that is splashed onto newly emerged crops may result in temporary crop injury.
|
||
• Moisture is necessary to activate BL3 in soil for residual weed control.
|
||
• Dry weather following applications of BL3 may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate
|
||
moisture is received after dry conditions, BL3 will control susceptible germinating weeds. BL3
|
||
may not control weeds that germinate after application but before an activating rainfall/irrigation or
|
||
weeds that germinate through cracks resulting from dry soil.
|
||
• When adequate moisture is not received after a BL3 application, weed control may be improved
|
||
by irrigation with at least 1/4 inch of water. If emerged weeds are controlled by cultivation,
|
||
residual weed control will be reduced.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
• DO NOT apply this product when weather conditions favor spray drift from treated areas.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during low-level inversion conditions, including fog.
|
||

|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
• Mechanical incorporation into the soil will reduce residual weed control.
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand and avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean BL3 from application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying
|
||
crops.
|
||
• Failure to remove even small amounts of BL3 from application equipment may result in injury to
|
||
subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
• Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
• Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage.
|
||
• Spray equipment used to apply BL3 should not be used to apply other materials to any crop
|
||
foliage, unless the proper cleanout procedures are followed. See "SPRAYER CLEANUP" for
|
||
more information.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
For resistance management, BL3 is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop
|
||
plants naturally resistant to BL3 and other Group 14 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.
|
||
|
||
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 modes of action and overlapping weed spectrum with
|
||
or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the
|
||
labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 10
|
||
|
||
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed
|
||
resistance management program.
|
||
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
• Scout fields before application 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.
|
||
• If using post-emergence herbicides or tank mixes, control weeds early when they are relatively
|
||
small.
|
||
• Apply full rates of this product for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time
|
||
to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed es capes 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 local
|
||
company representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your local company representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if
|
||
suspected resistant weeds to these MOAs have been found in your region. DO NOT assume that
|
||
each listed weed is being controlled by multiple mode of action. Products with multiple active
|
||
ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may
|
||
be controlled by only one of the active ingredients in this product.
|
||
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a mode of action other
|
||
than Group 14 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of
|
||
preventing further seed production.
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
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 herbicide with other mode of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program, if appropriate.
|
||
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative modes of action.
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two sequential applications of this product and any other Group 14
|
||
herbicides within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode of
|
||
action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical 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 to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
BL3 should be integrated into an overall weed and pest management strategy whenever the use of a
|
||
herbicide is required. Follow practices known to reduce weed development (tillage, crop competition) and
|
||
herbicide use (weed scouting, proper application timing, banding) wherever possible. Consult local
|
||
agricultural and weed authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area.
|
||
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 11
|
||
|
||
|
||
biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and
|
||
practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||
monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult
|
||
your state cooperative extension service, professional consultant or other qualified authorities to
|
||
determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest / crop systems in your
|
||
area.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver Medium or coarser droplets in
|
||
accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641
|
||
(ASABE S641).
|
||
|
||
• If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement
|
||
upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per
|
||
hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is
|
||
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing
|
||
aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Othe1wise, the boom length must
|
||
be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for
|
||
helicopters
|
||
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
|
||
than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver Medium or coarser droplets in
|
||
accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572
|
||
(ASABE S572).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver Medium or coarser droplets in
|
||
accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572
|
||
(ASABE S572).
|
||
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A VOIDING 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 environment.al conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 12
|
||
|
||
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
|
||
spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
|
||
• 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.
|
||
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may
|
||
reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly,
|
||
high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable
|
||
for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring.
|
||
|
||
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 an 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. 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.
|
||
|
||
SENSITIVE AREAS
|
||
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.,
|
||
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops)
|
||
is an effective way to minimize the effect of spray drift.
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is
|
||
used, read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive's label. If
|
||
using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will
|
||
function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the
|
||
Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Burndown Application
|
||
|
||
For best results, apply BL3 as part of a burndown program to actively growing weeds. Applying BL3
|
||
under conditions that DO NOT promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide effectiveness. DO NOT
|
||
apply BL3 when weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, extremes in temperature,
|
||
disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to herbicidal action. BL3 is
|
||
most effective when applied under warm sunny conditions.
|
||
|
||
Reduced residual weed control may occur when burndown applications are made to fields where heavy
|
||
crop and/or weed residue exist.
|
||
|
||
Rainfastness
|
||
|
||
BL3 is rainfast one hour after application. DO NOT apply if rain is expected within one hour of application
|
||
or postemergence efficacy may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
Soil Characteristics
|
||
|
||
Application of BL3 to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher dosages
|
||
than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Application to cloddy seedbeds can result in
|
||
reduced weed control.
|
||
|
||
HERBICIDE RATE
|
||
|
||
Residual Weed Control (Including Preemergence Applications or Applications as Part of a Fall or
|
||
Spring Burndown and Fallow Seedbed Program)
|
||
|
||
Based upon soil characteristics (organic matter content and texture), the most difficult to control weed
|
||
species being targeted, and the crop being grown, select the proper BL3 dosage from the rate range
|
||
tables contained in this label.
|
||
|
||
CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE GROUND EQUIPMENT ONLY.
|
||
|
||
Preemergence Application (Conventional Tillage)
|
||
|
||
To ensure uniform coverage, use 10 to 30 gallons of spray solution per acre for conventional tillage
|
||
applications. Nozzle selection must meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure specifications for
|
||
preemergence herbicide application.
|
||
|
||
Burndown Application (Prior to Crop Emergence)
|
||
|
||
To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use 15 to 60 gallons spray solution per acre. Use
|
||
20 to 60 gallons per acre if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection must
|
||
meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure specifications for postemergence herbicide application. DO
|
||
NOT use flood jet nozzles.

|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
|
||
Burndown Application (Prior to Crop Emergence)
|
||
|
||
Postemergence control of weeds from BL3 tank mixes will require the addition of an agronomically
|
||
approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. When an adjuvant is to be used with BL3, Corteva Agriscience
|
||
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant. Either a
|
||
crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO) which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and
|
||
80% oil or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v, may be used when applying BL3 as part of a
|
||
burndown program. Some tank mix partners are formulated with sufficient adjuvants and DO NOT require
|
||
the addition of a crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic surfactant when tank mixed with
|
||
BL3. The addition of a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil may increase the burndown activity on
|
||
certain weeds including cutleaf evening primrose and Carolina geranium. Verify mixing compatibility
|
||
qualities by a jar test.
|
||
|
||
A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 2 to 2.5 lbs/acre or a 28 to 32%
|
||
nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 qts/acre) may be added to the spray mixture along with either a crop oil
|
||
concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic surfactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a
|
||
nitrogen source does not replace the need for a crop oil concentrate, a methylated seed oil or a non-ionic
|
||
surfactant.
|
||
|
||
JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND BL3
|
||
|
||
When using BL3 and an adjuvant, including in stale seed bed or reduced tillage situations. Perform a jar
|
||
test before mixing commercial quantities of BL3, when using BL3 for the first time, when using new
|
||
adjuvants or when a new water source is being used.
|
||
|
||
1. Add 1 pint of the water to a quart jar. Use water from the same source and temperature as which will
|
||
be used in the spray tank mixing operation.
|
||
2. Add 1 gram of BL3 to the quart jar for every 3 ounces of BL3 per acre being applied, gently mix until
|
||
product goes into suspension.
|
||
3. Add 60 milliliters (4 Tbsp or 2 fl oz) of the crop oil or methylated seed oil to the quart jar or 1 milliliter
|
||
of non-ionic surfactant if it is being used in place of oil, gently mix.
|
||
4. If nitrogen is being used, add 16 milliliters (1 Tbsp or 0.5 oz) of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the
|
||
quart jar. If ammonium sulfate is being used, add 19 grams AMS to the quart jar in place of the 28 to
|
||
32% nitrogen.
|
||
5. Place cap on jar, invert 10 times, let stand for 15 minutes, evaluate.
|
||
6. An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform and free of suspended particles. If any of the following
|
||
conditions are observed, question the choice of adjuvant:
|
||
a) Layer of oil or globules on the mixture's surface.
|
||
b) Flocculation: fine particles in suspension or as a layer on the bottom of the jar.
|
||
c) Clabbering: thickening texture (coagulated) like gelatin.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY TANK PREPARATION
|
||
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide deposits before using BL3.
|
||
Follow the spray tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously sprayed. If no
|
||
cleanout procedure is provided, follow the cleanout procedure below for all application equipment.
|
||
|
||
1. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one of the cleaning agents listed in the SPRAYER
|
||
CLEANUP section of this label. Complete filling the tank and flush the cleaning solution through the
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 15
|
||
|
||
|
||
boom and hoses. Let stand for 15 minutes with agitation or recirculation and then drain the tank after
|
||
flushing the hoses, boom, and nozzles.
|
||
3. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
4. Follow label directions of the product previously sprayed for rinsate disposal.
|
||
|
||
During an extended period where spraying or mixing equipment will be used to apply multiple loads of
|
||
BL3, at the end of each day of spraying partially fill the tank with fresh water, flush the boom and hoses
|
||
and allow to sit overnight. A steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks is recommended to dislodge any visible
|
||
pesticide deposits.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 of desired level with clean water.
|
||
2. If a drift retardant is to be used, add 10 lbs of spray grade ammonium sulfate per 100 gals. of spray
|
||
solution.
|
||
3. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, pre-slurry the required amount of BL3 with water prior to addition
|
||
to the spray tank. Use a minimum of 1 gallon of water per ounces of BL3.
|
||
4. While agitating, slowly add the pre-slurried BL3 to the spray tank. Agitation should create a rippling or
|
||
rolling action on the water surface.
|
||
5. If tank mixing BL3 with other labeled herbicides, add water soluble bags first, followed by dry
|
||
formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture
|
||
than is required for the immediate spray operation.
|
||
6. Add any required adjuvants.
|
||
7. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Continue agitation until all spray solution has been
|
||
applied.
|
||
8. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Apply BL3 within 6 hours
|
||
of mixing.
|
||
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
|
||
immediately following applications of BL3 as follows:
|
||
|
||
Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following BL3
|
||
application. After BL3 is applied, use the following steps to clean the spray equipment:
|
||
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with
|
||
clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3%
|
||
active) for every 100 gallons of water. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning
|
||
solution through the boom, hoses, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow
|
||
to agitate or recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the boom, hoses and nozzles, and drain
|
||
the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a bucket
|
||
containing water and the cleaning agent.
|
||
4. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the
|
||
boom and hoses.
|
||
6. To enhance removal of flumioxazin from the spray system before spraying susceptible crops, follow
|
||
the above clean-out steps with ammonia, then add a tank cleaner such as "Valent Tank Cleaner"
|
||
from Valent U.S.A. Corporation, and allow the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray
|
||
system (spray tank, hoses and boom) overnight before flushing the system for a minimum of 15
|
||
minutes. If using "Valent Tank Cleaner" follow use instructions and personal protective equipment
|
||
(PPE) instructions as found on the "Valent Tank Cleaner" label.
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 16
|
||
|
||
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner recommended in
|
||
separately published company bulletins may be used.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
|
||
|
||
Application equipment must be clean and in good repair. Nozzles must be uniformly spaced on boom and
|
||
frequently checked for accuracy.
|
||
|
||
BROADCAST APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Apply BL3, and BL3 tank mixes, with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped
|
||
with flat fan or flood nozzles (preemergence applications only) designed to deliver the desired spray
|
||
pressure and spray volume.
|
||
|
||
BAND APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
When banding, use proportionately less water and BL3 per acre. The rate of BL3 required per acre, when
|
||
applied as a banded application, can be calculated with the following formula:
|
||
|
||
Amount Needed per Acre for = Band Width in Inches X Rate per Broadcast Acre
|
||
Banded Application Row Width in Inches
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Spray drift away from the site of application may cause damage to non-target vegetation. To minimize
|
||
drift, apply the largest droplet size consistent with uniform coverage and satisfactory weed control. To
|
||
obtain satisfactory application and avoid drift, the following directions must be observed:
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply during low-level inversion conditions (including fog), when winds are gusty or under other
|
||
conditions that favor drift. DO NOT spray when wind velocity is less than 2 mph or more than 10 mph.
|
||
DO NOT apply this product by air within 40 feet of non-target plants including non-target crops.
|
||
DO NOT apply this product by air within 100 feet of emerged cotton crops.
|
||
DO NOT apply this product by air within 40 feet of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and
|
||
reservoirs.
|
||
Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure: When used as part of a burndown weed control program, apply
|
||
BL3 in 7 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Application at less than 7 gallons per acre may provide
|
||
inadequate control. When used for preemergence weed control, apply BL3 in 5 to 10 gallons of water per
|
||
acre. The higher gallonage applications generally afford more consistent weed control. DO NOT exceed
|
||
the nozzle manufacturer's specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger
|
||
droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
Nozzle Selection and Orientation: Formation of very small drops may be minimized by appropriate
|
||
nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding
|
||
excessive spray pressure. Use nozzles that produce flat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type
|
||
nozzles, including diaphragm type nozzles, to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. The nozzles
|
||
must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0 and 15° downward. DO NOT place
|
||
nozzles on the outer 25% of the wings or rotors.
|
||
Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives: Refer to tank mix partner's label for adjuvant directions. Drift
|
||
control additives may be used. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the
|
||
cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the additive label.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION WITH DRY BULK FERTILIZERS
|
||
|
||
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with BL3. Application of dry bulk fertilizer with BL3
|
||
provides weed control equal to, or slightly below, the same rate of BL3 applied in liquid carriers, due to
|
||
better coverage with application via spray equipment. Follow label directions for BL3 regarding rates,
|
||
|
||
M6D / BL3 / MSTR / IRRD Amend / 06-06-2026 Page 17
|
||
|
||
|
||
special instructions, cautions and special precautions. Apply 400 to 700 pounds of the fertilizer/herbicide
|
||
mixture per acre to obtain adequate soil coverage. Apply the mixture to the soil with properly calibrated
|
||
equipment immediately after blending. Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential to
|
||
prevent possible crop injury and to obtain uniform weed control.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use ammonium nitrate and/or limestone as the sole source of fertilizer, as the BL3 may not
|
||
adhere to these materials.
|
||
|
||
Compliance with all Federal and State regulations relating to blending pesticide mixtures with dry bulk
|
||
fertilizer, registrations, labeling and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company
|
||
offering the fertilizer and BL3 mixture for sale.
|
||
|
||
BL3 must be premixed with water to form a slurry prior to impregnation on dry bulk fertilizer. For best
|
||
results, use a minimum of 1 pint of water for each 2 ounces of BL3. Use a minimum of 6 pints of the BL3
|
||
slurry to impregnate 2000 lbs. of the fertilizer for uniform coverage of the fertilizer. Closed drum, belt,
|
||
ribbon or other commonly used dry bulk blenders may be used.
|
||
|
||
The amount of BL3 required can be calculated with the following formula:
|
||
|
||
ounces of BL3 per ton = ounces of BL3 per X 2000 ÷ pounds of fertilizer
|
||
of fertilizer acre per acre
|
||
|
||
Thoroughly clean dry fertilizer blending equipment after BL3 has been placed in the system to avoid injury
|
||
to sensitive crops that may be treated with fertilizers blended after the equipment has been used for BL3.
|
||
Rinse the sides of the blender and the herbicide tank with water. Then impregnate the rinsate onto a load
|
||
of dry fertilizer intended for an approved crop. Use a maximum rate of 1 gal. of rinsate per ton of fertilizer.
|
||
Follow with 1 to 2 loads of unimpregnated fertilizer in the blender before switching herbicides.
|
||
|
||
ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
The following rotational crops may be planted after applying BL3 at the listed rate. Planting earlier than
|
||
the recommended rotational interval may result in crop injury.

SPRING BURNDOWN PROGRAMS
|
||
|
||
BL3 can be used in combination with labeled preplant burndown herbicides to assist in the
|
||
postemergence burndown of emerged weeds and provide residual weed control prior to crop emergence.
|
||
|
||
No-till planters that incorporate the soil during planting may result in decreased weed control in the row.
|
||
Apply BL3 after planting soybeans when these types of planters are used (within 3 days after planting
|
||
soybeans and before the crop emerges). BL3 cannot be applied after planting field corn.
|
||
|
||
BL3 can be used at 1 to 3 oz/acre with labeled preplant burndown herbicides to enhance the speed of
|
||
burndown and increase weed spectrum.
|
||
|
||
BL3 can be used in field corn and soybean burndown programs. See "DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD
|
||
CORN", "DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SOYBEAN" for more information.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FALLOW LAND
|
||
|
||
BL3 may be used as a preemergence fallow treatment.
|
||
|
||
BL3 at 2 to 3 oz/acre can be used in the fall to provide residual weed control in fallow fields (refer to
|
||
Rotational Restrictions table for rates and rotational intervals prior to planting). If weeds have emerged at
|
||
the time of application, use BL3 in combination with a labeled fallow herbicide. Application must be made
|
||
when soil temperature falls below 50°F at a 2 inch depth to maintain residual weed control into the spring.
|
||
Abnormally warm or wet winters will reduce the length of weed control observed in the spring.
|
||
|
||
BL3 at 1 to 2 oz/acre can be used in spring in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to control
|
||
emerged weeds and provide residual weed control.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN
|
||
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
|
||
|
||
Use only on no-till or minimum tillage fields where last year's crop residue has not been incorporated into
|
||
the soil.
|
||
Corn must be planted between 14 and 30 days after application unless the application is made as part of
|
||
a fall burndown program.
|
||
Corn can be planted 7 days after an application of 2 oz/acre if a minimum of 25% of the soil surface is
|
||
covered with the residue of the preceding crop and a minimum of 1/4 inch of rainfall has occurred
|
||
between application and planting.
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 3 ounces of BL3 per acre during a single growing season.
|
||
DO NOT irrigate between emergence and 2-leaf corn.
|
||
DO NOT use on popcorn, sweet corn or corn grown for seed.
|
||
Graze treated fields or feed treated forage to livestock no sooner than 21 days after application.

|
||
Burndown Use Directions — For Preplant Applications in Field Corn
|
||
|
||
BL3 herbicide, applied as part of a burndown program, may be used for residual weed control, as well as
|
||
to assist in postemergence burndown of many weeds where field corn will be planted directly into the
|
||
residue of the previous year. See "DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FALL AND SPRING PREPLANT
|
||
BURNDOWN AND FALLOW SEEDBED PROGRAMS IN 1,1ELD CORN AND SOYBEAN" for rates and
|
||
timing of applications. For control of emerged weeds, BL3 herbicide must be applied with an appropriate
|
||
burndown tank mix partner. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution
|
||
per acre. Refer to tank mix partner's label for specified application pressure and adjuvant systems.
|
||
|
||
INCREASING SPEED OF GLYPHOSATE BURNDOWN ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
BL3 herbicide at 1 oz/acre, may be tank mixed with glyphosate (including Abundit® Edge) to increase the
|
||
speed of burndown activity compared to glyphosate applied alone. Residual weed control will not be
|
||
provided at rates lower than 2 oz/acre; however, suppression of the weeds may occur at BL3 herbicide
|
||
rates as low as 1 oz/acre. Applications of BL3 herbicide at 1 oz/acre must be made a minimum of 14 days
|
||
prior to planting field corn.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXES
|
||
|
||
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
|
||

|
||
|
||
TIMING TO SOYBEANS
|
||
|
||
BL3 may be applied to soybeans prior to planting or preemergence (after planting). Preemergence
|
||
application of BL3 must be made within 3 days after planting and prior to soybean emergence.
|
||
Application after the soybeans have begun to crack, or are emerged, will result in severe crop injury. DO
|
||
NOT apply when soybeans have begun to crack.
|
||
|
||
TIMING TO WEEDS
|
||
|
||
Burndown — Preemergence to Soybeans, Postemergence to Weeds
|
||
|
||
BL3, applied as part of a burndown program, may be used for residual weed control, as well as to assist
|
||
in postemergence burndown of many annual and perennial weeds where soybeans will be planted
|
||
directly into a stale seedbed, cover crop or in previous crop residues. For control of emerged weeds,
|
||
choose the most appropriate tank mix partner. Apply BL3 with ground equipment before planting, during
|
||
planting or within 3 days after planting, but before the crop emerges. To ensure thorough coverage, use a
|
||
minimum of 15 gals. of spray solution per acre. Refer to tank mix partner's label for specified application
|
||
pressure. All BL3 tank mixes applied to assist in the control of emerged weeds must be applied with crop
|
||
oil concentrate or methylated seed oil at 1 to 2 pt/acre or a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v.
|
||
|
||
INCREASING SPEED OF GLYPHOSATE BURNDOWN ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
BL3 at rates as low as 1 oz/acre, may be tank mixed with glyphosate to increase the speed of burndown
|
||
activity compared to glyphosate applied alone. Residual weed control will not be provided at rates lower
|
||
than 2 oz/acre; however, suppression of the weeds may occur at BL3 rates as low as 1 oz/acre.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXES
|
||
|
||
BL3 may be tank mixed with soybean herbicides for increased burndown activity, additional residual
|
||
broadleaf and/or additional grass control. Refer to tank mix partner's label for adjuvant directions.
|
||
Refer to tank mix product labels for specific directions for control of emerged weeds present.
|
||
|
||
ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL BROADLEAF CONTROL
|
||
|
||
BL3 can be tank mixed with metribuzin, chlorimuron, chlorimuron + metribuzin, tribenuron-methyl, or
|
||
cloransulam-methyl for additional broadleaf control.
|
||
|
||
ADDITIONAL RESIDUAL GRASS CONTROL
|
||
|
||
BL3 can be tank mixed with pendimethalin for additional grass control. Tank mixes with flufenacet,
|
||
metolachlor, dimethenamid or alachlor, may result in severe injury to soybeans when application is
|
||
followed by prolonged periods of cool wet weather. DO NOT use with BL3, unless Supplemental or
