Internal IMPORTANT CROP SAFETY INFORMATION READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT Burndown treatments For row crop applications in canola, corn, sweet corn, cotton, soybean or sugar beets, LIFELINE® herbicide may be applied to any variety as a burndown treatment prior to planting or prior to crop emergence. LIFELINE Herbicide may also be applied as a preplant burndown treatment prior to planting of labelled fruiting vegetables and cucurbits. When applying LIFELINE Herbicide as a preplant burndown treatment prior to planting of fruiting vegetables and cucurbits, ensure that the appropriate rotational interval is observed with respect to planting method, soil texture, and rainfall/irrigation. Regardless of precipitation/irrigation received, do not transplant or direct-seed into or within 6 inches of holes in the plastic mulch that exist at the time of preplant burndown application(s) to plastic mulch covered beds. Failure to observe the respective parameters and use site restrictions can lead to serious crop injury or death. Post emergent treatments Post-emergence row crop applications of LIFELINE Herbicide may be made only to crops resistant to glufosinate.The basis of selectivity of LIFELINE Herbicide in glufosinate-resistant crops is the presence of a gene that makescrops not sensitive to glufosinate. Crops not containing this glufosinate-resistant gene will be sensitive to LIFELINE Herbicide and severe crop injury and/or death may occur. Do not allow spray to contact foliageor green tissue of desirable vegetation other than containing the glufosinate-resistant trait. Post-emergence applications of LIFELINE Herbicide may be applied to cotton not containing the glufosinate- resistant trait using a hooded sprayer. Post-emergence directed applications of LIFELINE Herbicide may applied as hooded row middle applications to fruiting vegetables and cucurbits. Contact of LIFELINE Herbicide spray, drift or mist to crop foliage or fruit will cause severe crop injury or death. Do not spray within 6 inches of running vines when the respective crop is grown on flat beds. Tree, Vine and Berry treatments When applying LIFELINE Herbicide to tree, vine and berry use sites, avoid contact of solution, spray, drift ormist with green bark, stems or foliage, as injury may occur. Only trunks with calloused, mature brown bark may be sprayed unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed containers. Contact of LIFELINE Herbicide with parts of trees, berries or vines other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage.

Herbicide Resistance Management LIFELINE Herbicide is a Group 10 herbicide (glutamine synthetase inhibitor). Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 10 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 10 herbicides may eventually dominate the weed population with repeated Group 10 herbicide use in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine if weed species present in the intended field are appropriate for an effective application of this herbicide. Fields should also be scouted after application to verify that the herbicide application was successful in controlling the target weed species. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the rate applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species
- 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 mode of action or by a mechanical method including 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. If a weed 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. Treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different mode of action or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes. To the extent possible, do now allow weed escapes to produce seed, roots, or tubers. To delay herbicide resistance, follow as many of these steps as possible:
- Crop rotation: Rotating crops can allow for diversified weed management programs.
- Rotate herbicide-resistant (HR) traits: Rotate HR traits or utilize crops with multiple HR traits to diversify the utilized herbicide modes of action.
- Tank-mix multiple herbicide sites of action: Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from different site(s) of action if such use is permitted. Rotate the herbicide site(s) of action used in a tank-mix both within the growing season and from year to year to reduce the selection pressure placed on a single site of action. Where information on resistance in a target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone tank-mix partner at rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
- Know your weeds and your field: Monitor fields, especially challenging areas with hard-to-control weeds or areas with high density weed populations.
- Begin with a clean field: Utilize tillage or an effective burndown herbicide program to control emerged weeds prior to planting.
- Use residual herbicides: Regardless of tillage system, overlapping soil-applied residual herbicides should be used in preemergence and early postemergence herbicide applications when possible.
- Follow all label guidelines: Always apply products according to their labelled timing, rates, spray volumes and other application requirements.
- Scout fields: Regularly scout fields, especially before and after an herbicide application to monitor weed populations, herbicide performance, and identify any weed escapes.
- Control weed escapes: Use an herbicide with alternative mode of action or a non-chemical method of control to control any weeds that may escape the initial herbicide application.
- Zero tolerance for weed seed production: DO NOT allow surviving weeds to produce seed, roots, or tubers. Control and remove all escapes through chemical or non-chemical methods of control. Preventing weed seed production will help decrease weed populations over time and mitigate major shifts in weed population dynamics.
- Clean equipment: Always clean equipment to prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their seed between fields. 3Rotational interval for transplanting or direct-seeding of referenced crops following a preplant burndown application of LIFELINE Herbicide. 4Precipitation defined as either rainfall or overhead irrigation occurring after LIFELINE Herbicide application. LIFELINE may damage desirable plants which come in contact with herbicide remaining on the plastic prior to the specified rotational intervals. 5Regardless of precipitation occurring, DO NOT transplant or direct-seed referenced crops into or within 6 inches of holes in the plastic mulch that exist at the time of application of LIFELINE Herbicide. 6Precipitation is needed to wash LIFELINE off the plastic mulch and prevent damage to the crop. 7Soil texture groups defined as Coarse (sand, loamy sand, sandy loam), Medium (silt, silt loam, loam, sandy clay loam), Fine (sandy clay, silty clay, silty clay loam, clay loam and clay).
rnal
- Manage field borders: Manage weed populations along the borders of fields to prevent movement of weeds into the field.
- Employed an integrated approach: To the extent possible, utilize a diversified weed management program that includes multiple chemical and non-chemical practices to manage weeds, such as, multiple effective modes of action in a tank-mix, mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, crop rotation, cultural methods (higher crop seeding rates, precision fertilizer applications, and other strategies to increase crop competitiveness), etc. Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or UPL NA, Inc. representative for additional resistance management, IPM recommendations, and to find out if suspected resistant weeds to Group 10 herbicides have been found in your region. More information on weed resistance management can be on the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) website at http://www.hracglobal.com. Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your retailer or UPL NA, Inc. representative.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
The following tables outline weeds controlled. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress (i.e., drought, cool temperatures, dense populations, prior treatment of contact or systemic herbicides, etc.). Regrowth of weeds may occur as a result of weed size/growth stage at the time of application, use rate or environmental conditions. When any of these conditions exist, use a higher labelled rate of LIFELINE Herbicide to improve weed control. In weed populations of mixed species, apply at a rate needed for the species that requires the highest rate. Repeat applications of LIFELINE Herbicide may be necessary to control weeds that have not emerged at the time of application or regrow from underground reproductive structures. Volunteer glufosinate-resistant crop plants (i.e. canola, corn, cotton, soybean, and sugarbeets) from the previous season will not be controlled by applications of LIFELINE Herbicide. Rates in fluid ounces of formulated product per acre. See Application Instructions and Crop Use Directions for specific use directions.

APPLICATION AND MIXING PROCEDURES Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. The use of surfactants andthe addition of AMS may improve weed control. Refer to the Weeds Controlled tables or Applications Instructions and Crop Use Directions for application rates. Ground application: Apply early when weeds are small. Apply in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. Increase to a maximum of 20 gallons of water per acre if dense weed canopy exists or as required by climatic conditions. Aerial Application: Apply early when weeds are small. Thorough coverage is necessary for best weed control. For optimal weed control, apply LIFELINE Herbicide in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. See the Mandatory Spray Drift Mitigation section for additional information on proper application of LIFELINE Herbicide. DO NOT use flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, or air-assisted spray equipment. Adjuvant Instructions: The addition of ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 lbs to 3.0 lbs/acre may improve weed control. Rates are dependent on tank mix partners, environmental conditions, temperatures and potential for leaf burn in applicable use sites. AMS has shown to improve weed control of difficult-to-control weeds, under less than ideal environmental conditions (low relative humidity) or hard water. Additional surfactants or crop oils may be used but may increase the risk of crop response. Please refer to the surfactant label for more detailed directions. Please note that the addition of MSO may cause antagonism and reduce overall performance in certain situations. A silicone based anti-foam agent be added if needed.
Internal
COMPATIBILITY TESTING If LIFELINE Herbicide will be mixed with other pesticide products, test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture before mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, adjust the amount of water used accordingly. Check compatibility using this process:
- In a clear 1-quart jar, place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution.
- For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar.
- For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
- For each 16 fl oz of LIFELINE Herbicide to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
- After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten, then invert 10 times to mix.
- Allow the mixture to stand for 15 minutes, then evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners are not compatible, DO NOT use the mixture in a spray tank.
- Once compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section of this label.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Tank Mix Instructions: LIFELINE Herbicide may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other products. Use the tank mix partner in accordance with label limitations and restrictions. 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. LIFELINE Herbicide must be applied with properly calibrated and clean equipment. LIFELINE Herbicide is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding LIFELINE Herbicide to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly if an herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used (see Cleaning Instructions). Mix LIFELINE Herbicide with water to make a finished spray solution as follows:
- Fill the spray tank half full with water.
- Begin agitation.
- If mixing with a flowable/wettable powder tank mix partner, prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small amount of water. Add the slurry to the spray tank.
- Add the appropriate amount of ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank.
- If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid mix partner next.
- Complete filling the spray tank with water.
- Add the proper amount of LIFELINE Herbicide and continue agitation.
- If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based antifoam agent. Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by flushing out the spray system lines before starting the crop application. If tank mix partners are added, maintain good agitation at all times until contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger. 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.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Before using LIFELINE Herbicide, thoroughly clean bulk storage tank, refillable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and filter, particularly if an herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used. Ensure that equipment is thoroughly rinsed using a commercial tank cleaner.
Internal
After using LIFELINE Herbicide, triple rinse the spray equipment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before using for crops not labeled as glufosinate-resistant. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide disposal directions on this label.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MITIGATION Ground boom applications:
- Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing, but DO NOT exceed a boom height of 24 inches above target pest or crop canopy. Set boom to lowest effective height over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment manufacturer’s directions. Automated boom height controllers are advised with large booms to better maintain optimumnozzle to canopy height. Excessive boom height will increase the potential for spray drift.
- For non-crop vegetation management ground applications, apply with the nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or target vegetation, unless necessitated by the application equipment. Examples would include roadside, railroad, utility rights of way, forestry and other industrial vegetation management applications where safety or natural barriers obstruct application.
- Select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
- DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
- DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Aerial applications:
- When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft. above thecrop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
- Select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
- When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must notexceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
- When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, applicators must use ½ swathdisplacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
- Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
- DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
- DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
POLLINATOR ADVISORY STATEMENT: This product contains an herbicide. Follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treated site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinators. The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING 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 sections of this label. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures advised for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
Internal
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (including disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential. Therefore a shorter boom length is advised.Application Height - Application more than 10 ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. DRIFT REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY (DRT) The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of DRTs may result in significantly less pesticide from spray applications drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by those applications, compared to spray technologies that do not meet the minimum DRT standard. EPA-verified drift reduction technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the following webpage as they become available: https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-and-rated-drift-reduction-technologies
WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar with local windpatterns and how they affect spray drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CROP USE DIRECTIONS The following tables indicate use patterns, rates, minimum spray volumes, preharvest intervals and other precautions, restrictions and comments specific to each crop. Read and follow directions carefully. LIFELINE Herbicide is a foliar active herbicide with no soil residual activity. For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds, targeting weeds less than 3” in height. Warm temperatures, high humidity and bright sunlight improves the performance of LIFELINE Herbicide. Necrosis of leaves and young shoots occurs within 2 to 4 days after application under ideal growing conditions.
Internal
Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled. Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog, mist or rain are present or when weeds are under stress due to drought, cool temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness. When applying for control of lambsquarters and velvetleaf, make applications between dawn and 2 hours before sunset to avoid the possibility of reduced control. The addition of ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 lbs to 3.0 lbs/acre may improve weed control. Rates are dependent on tankmix partners, environmental conditions, temperatures and potential for leaf burn in applicable use sites. Use a minimum spray volume of 15 gallons of water per acre. If dense canopy, large weeds or unfavorable growing conditions are present, increase water volume to 20 gallons of water per acre. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important. To maximize weed control, DO NOT cultivate from 5 days before an application to 7 days after an application. LIFELINE Herbicide is rainfast 4 hours after application; therefore rainfall within 4 hours may necessitate retreatment. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for guidelines on optimum application timing for LIFELINE Herbicide in your region.

Crop Use Pattern Rate/Acre Directions Restrictions POTATOES Vine Desiccation 21.0 fl oz/A (0.38 lbs ai/A) Apply at the beginning of natural senescence of potato vines. Potato varieties with heavy or dense vines may require an application of another desiccation product to complete vine desiccation. Thorough coverage of the potato vines to be desiccated is essential. Use sufficient volume of water (20 to 100 gpa). Vary the gallons of water per acre and spray pressure as indicated by the density of the potato vines. Increase spray volume to at least 30 gallons of water per acre when potato canopy is dense or under cool and dry conditions. Apply with the spray boom as low as possible to achieve thorough coverage of the potato vines for best control and to minimize drift potential. May be applied with ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 – 3 lbs/A.
The use of additives or adjuvants other than AMS have been known to cause injury in potatoes under specific conditions and in certain geographies. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the user assumes all risks associated with adding adjuvants, other than AMS, to the LIFELINE spray solution. DO NOT apply to potatoes grown for seed. DO NOT apply more than 21 fl oz (0.38 lbs ai)/A in a single application. DO NOT split application or make more than 1 application per year. DO NOT harvest potatoes until 9 days or more after application. DO NOT apply more than 21.0 fl oz/(0.38 lbs ai)/A per year.
- Canola, corn, cotton, soybean and sugar beets may be planted at any time after an application of LIFELINE Herbicide as a potato vine desiccant.

Crop Use Pattern Rate/Acre Directions Restrictions GRASS GROWN FOR SEED PRODUCTION (OR, ID, WA) Fall Broadcast For severe weed pressure in newly established fields, applications may occur after the 1st tiller of the crop is established.
For established fields, applications may be made to crops with a minimum of 4 tillers.
If additional control is required following a fall application, one spring broadcast application may also be made.
Spring Broadcast Apply to actively growing grass seed fields in the 4-6 tiller growth state. Spring Hooded or Shielded Directed Spray

10 fl oz/A (0.18 lbs ai).
Fall or Spring Broadcast Application to Established Fields 16.5 - 20 fl oz/A (0.30 0.37lbs ai). Refer to the Important Crop Safety Information Read Before Using This Product section prior to use. For best weed control and crop safety, apply when the grass seed crop is actively growing in the fall and/or spring to minimize potential for crop injury. Tolerance of grasses to LIFELINE Herbicide is species dependent. Species tolerance in descending order is: 1) perennial ryegrass; 2) tall fescue; 3) bentgrass; 4) fine fescue; 5) Poa species. For example, perennial ryegrass tends to be more tolerant to LIFELINE Herbicide than Poa species. Directed shielded sprays are required in bentgrass, fine fescue, orchardgrass and Poa species grown for seed production. Broadcast applications made after 1 st node development can increase the potential for crop injury and yield loss. Apply LIFELINE Herbicide in a minimum of 20 gallons/A of water at 30 to 40 psi. May be applied with ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 – 3 lbs/A. Additional surfactants or crop oils may increase risk of crop response Stunting of grass grown for seed production may occur following application and, in some instances, seed yields may be adversely affected. Crop injury, loss, or damage may occur from the use of this product. UPL recommends that the user and/or grower first test this product on a small scale to determine its suitability for such intended use prior to application and large scale use of this product. Preharvest Interval (PHI) or Pregrazing Interval (PGI) to livestock for LIFELINE-treated grass forage and hay – 90 days. There is no required Preharvest Interval (PHI) to grass seed harvest. Straw remaining after grass seed harvest may be fed to or grazed by livestock. DO NOT apply LIFELINE Herbicide when grass grown for seed production is stressed due to drought, heat, frost, flooding, poor fertility, diseases, insects, or other reasons. DO NOT broadcast apply LIFELINE Herbicide on bentgrass, fine fescue, orchardgrass, or Poa species grown for seed. DO NOT make fall applications after December 1 st in either seedling or established fields. DO NOT make spring applications after April 1st except when severe weed pressure necessitates control. DO NOT apply more than 10 fl oz/A (0.18 lbs ai) when making a fall broadcast application to newly established fields. DO NOT apply more than 20 fl oz/A (0.37 lbs ai) when making a fall or spring broadcast application to established fields.

SUCKER CONTROL When applied to suckers that are young, green, and uncalloused, LIFELINE Herbicide will reduce or eliminate sucker growth. For sucker control, make a split application approximately 4 weeks apart at 56 fl oz of product/A (1.02 lbs ai/A) in a broadcast application. Thorough coverage of all sucker foliage is necessary for optimum control. Suckers must not exceed 12 inches in length. DO NOT make spot applications to trunk as injury may occur.
TANK MIX PARTNER INSTRUCTIONS
Because LIFELINE Herbicide does not provide residual weed control or control of unexposed plant parts, certain herbicide tank mixes may aid in the performance of LIFELINE Herbicide or be added to provide residual herbicide activity. No additional surfactant is needed with any tank mix partner. LIFELINE Herbicide may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other products that are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treated. Always use the tank mix partner in accordance with the label limitations and restrictions. DO NOT exceed label dosage rates. LIFELINE Herbicide may not be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. 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.
APPLICATION METHODS
COTTON NOT DESIGNATED AS GLUFOSINATE-RESISTANT Application of LIFELINE Herbicide to cotton varieties not designated as glufosinate-resistant requires the use of hooded spray equipment designed to minimize exposure of the spray to the cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto weeds, while shielding the cotton stand from contact. Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjusted to protect desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray. With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground as this may cause spray particles to escape and come into contact with the cotton, causing damage or destruction of the crop. Herbicide rates and spray volume instructions are presented as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in proportion to the area actually treated. Use the following formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per planted (field) acre: Band width in inches Row width in inches X Broadcast RATE per acre = Amount of banded product needed per acre
Band width in inches Row width in inches X Broadcast spray VOLUME per acre = Banded spray volume needed per acre
BANDED SPRAY APPLICATIONS – TREE, VINES AND BERRIES Banded applications may be used using the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for orchard or vineyard strip sprays: Band width in inches x Rate per acre = Amount of herbicide Row width in inches broadcast needed for treatment
SPOT OR DIRECTED SPRAY APPLICATIONS –TREE, VINES AND BERRIES For spot or directed spray applications mix LIFELINE Herbicide at 1.7 fl oz of product (0.33 lbs ai) per gallon of water. Apply to undesirable vegetation foliage until wet but prior to runoff. Ensure uniform and complete coverage. Thoroughly clean the sprayer following use. DO NOT make spot or directed spray applications to tree or vine trunk as injury may occur.
BROADCAST-DIRECTED SPRAY APPLICATIONS – TREE, VINE, AND BERRIES For post-emergence control of weeds in labelled use sites, apply LIFELINE Herbicide at 48 – 82 fl oz/A (0.88 – 1.50 lbs ai) as a broadcast-directed spray anytime during the season up to the day of harvest. Use rate is dependent on target weed growth size and stage, reference the WEEDS CONTROLLED TABLE for the respective use site. Direct the spray away from desirable vegetation and plant parts. Avoid contact of LIFELINE Herbicide solution spray, drift, or mist with green bark, stems, foliage, or fruit as injury may occur to trees. Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark may be sprayed unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes, or waxed containers. Contact of LIFELINE Herbicide with parts of trees other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage.
SPRING HOODED OR SHIELDED DIRECTED SPRAY APPLICATIONS – GRASS GROWN FOR SEED PRODUCTION To avoid excessive crop phytotoxicity, use a hooded or shielded sprayer. Apply by directing spray between rows and using shielded directed sprayers to prevent spray contact with crop plants. Adjust shields to prevent spray from contacting the crop. Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted, and operated in such a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and prevent any spray deposition onto crop foliage and parts. Sprayers must be operated slowly to minimize bouncing of the boom and hoods. Hoods must be positioned so their height runs along the soil surface. When making a hooded or shielded directed spray applications for grass grown for seed production, LIFELINE Herbicide should not be concentrated in row middles. The use rate specified is for treated area within the banded application between rows. Hooded or shielded directed spray applications for grass grown for seed production may be used using the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for banded application in row middles: Band width in inches x Rate per acre = Amount of herbicide Row width in inches broadcast needed for treatment
HOODED POSTEMERGENCE ROW MIDDLES APPLICATIONS (BANDED BETWEEN CROP ROWS) – FRUITING VEGETABLES AND CUCURBITS To avoid spray solution or spray drift contact with and severe injury of crop foliage or fruit, LIFELINE Herbicide must be applied with a hooded sprayer in a directed band between rows to protect the crop from spray contact. Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted, and operated in such a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and prevent any spray deposition onto crop foliage, blooms, or fruit. Sprayers must be operated slowly to minimize bouncing of the boom and hoods. Hoods must be positioned so their height runs along the soil surface or no higher than the shoulder of beds. When crop is grown on flat beds, LIFELINE Herbicide should not be sprayed within 6 inches of running vines. In geographies where hooded sprayers are not available, use precision directed spray application equipment with nozzles adjusted to prevent spray contact with crop plants. LIFELINE Herbicide should not be applied if spray drift cannot be controlled or if spray contact with crop foliage cannot be avoided.
When making a hooded postemergence row middles application, LIFELINE Herbicide should not be concentrated in row middles. The use rate specified is for treated area within the banded application between rows. Hooded postemergence row middles applications may be used using the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for banded application in row middles: Band width in inches x Rate per acre = Amount of herbicide Row width in inches broadcast needed for treatment
TANK MIXTURES
For all crops certain herbicide tank mixes may aid in the performance of LIFELINE Herbicide or be added to provide residual herbicide activity. When tank mixing with a residual herbicide no additional surfactant is needed. LIFELINE Herbicide may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other products labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treated. The tank mix partner must be used in accordance with the label limitations and restrictions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. LIFELINE Herbicide may not be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. 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.
LIFELINE Herbicide is compatible in tank mixes with many other herbicides. When tank mixing LIFELINE Herbicide with other herbicides, follow the label with the most restrictive directions for use and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. 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. A compatibility test must be conducted with any potential tank mix partner. Using a clear glass quart jar, conduct the test as described below:
- Fill the jar three-quarters full with water.
- Add the appropriate amount of herbicide in the following order: (a) dry flowable, (b) wettable powder, (c) aqueous suspensions, (d) flowables, (e) liquids and (f) solutions and emulsifiable or liquid concentrates. Shake or gently stir jar after each addition to thoroughly mix.
- After adding all ingredients, let the mixture stand for 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, and heavy oily film on the jar or other signs of incompatibility.
- If the compatibility test shows signs of incompatibility, DO NOT tank mix the product tested with LIFELINE Herbicide.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR CANOLA, CORN, COTTON, AND SOYBEAN SEED PROPAGATION
LIFELINE Herbicide may be applied during seed propagation to select out susceptible “segregates,” i.e., canola, corn, cotton, and soybean plants that are not designated as glufosinate-resistant. Ŷ Canola: LIFELINE Herbicide may also be used in canola seed propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate canola plants that are not designated as glufosinate-resistant and as such, can be applied to remove susceptible segregates during canola seed propagation. Breeding material not possessing the trait will be severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. See Application Instructions and Crop Use Directions on Canola for use rates and application timing. Ŷ Corn: Inbred lines (plants not designated as glufosinate-resistant) will be severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. A hooded sprayer may be used to protect plants from coming into contact with the herbicide application. For the selection of glufosinate-resistant corn “segregates”, apply LIFELINE Herbicide at 22 fl oz/A (0.40 lbs ai/A) plus AMS at 3 lbs/A (17 lbs/100 gallons) when corn is in the V-3 to V-4 stage of growth, i.e., 3 to 4 developed collars. Make a second treatment of 22 fl oz/A (0.40 lbs ai/A) plus AMS at 3 lbs/A when the corn is in the V-6 to V-7 stage of growth or up to 24” tall. Make sequential applications at least 10 days apart. When temperatures exceed 85° F, the rate of AMS can be reduced to 1.5 lbs/A (8.5 lbs/100 gallons) to reduce potential leaf burn. Ŷ Cotton: use LIFELINE Herbicide in cotton seed propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate cotton plants that are not designated as glufosinate-resistant, removing susceptible segregates during cotton seed propagation.
Breeding material not possessing this trait will be severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. See Application Instructions and Crop Use Directions on Cotton for use rates and application timing.
Ŷ Soybeans: For the selection of glufosinate-resistant soybean “segregates”, apply LIFELINE Herbicide at up to 22 to 43 fl oz/A (0.40 – 0.79 lbs ai/A) when soybean is in the third trifoliate stage. Make a second treatment of 22 to 43 fl oz/A (0.40 – 0.79 lbs ai/A) up to but not including the bloom growth stage of soybean. Make sequential applications at least 5 days apart.
