|
||
I. USE INFORMATION
|
||
Ultra Blazer h erbicide is a soluble liquid intended for selective postemergence control of certain broadleaf
|
||
weeds and grasses in edamame (vegetable soybean) , peanuts, rice, soybeans, strawberries and low growing
|
||
berries (crop subgroup 13-07G), and sugarbeet.
|
||
|
||
Crop Rotation Restriction : In case of crop failure, only edamame (vegetable soybean), peanuts, rice,
|
||
soybeans, strawberries and low growing berries (crop subgroup 13 -07G), and sugarbeet may be immediately
|
||
replanted. Small grains must not be planted in fields treated with Ultra Blazer for 40 days following treatment. All
|
||
other rotated crops must not be planted in fields treated with Ultra Blazer for 100 days following treatment.
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
All listed crops are tolerant to Ultra Blazer at all stages of growth listed . Leaf speckling may occur, but plants
|
||
generally outgrow this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced.
|
||
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial spray cleaner according to
|
||
the manufacturer’s directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.
|
||
|
||
Herbicide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, Ultra Blazer is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop
|
||
plants naturally resistant to Ultra Blazer and other Group 14 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance
|
||
to Group 14 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the
|
||
same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of Ultra Blazer or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
|
||
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Whenever
|
||
possible incorporate multiple weed control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological
|
||
management practices, and crop rotation.
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on
|
||
resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance -prone partner at a rate that will
|
||
control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance -prone partner . Consult your local
|
||
extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less
|
||
prone to resistance.
|
||
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
|
||
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
|
||
mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g. higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
|
||
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed -competitive crops or varieties) ,
|
||
and other management practices.
|
||
• Fields should be scouted before application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to
|
||
determine if the intended application will be effective. Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed
|
||
populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
|
||
(1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
|
||
control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non -controlled plants of a particular weed
|
||
species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is
|
||
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different
|
||
group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage . Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to
|
||
other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean
|
||
seed.
|
||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this
|
||
product and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action (MOA), if
|
||
available. Treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non -chemical methods to
|
||
remove escapes. To the extent possible, do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots, or tubers.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for additional
|
||
herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific
|
||
crops and resistant weed biotypes. Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a
|
||
particular weed species to your retailer or UPL NA Inc. representative.
|
||
|
||
II. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply labeled rates of Ultra Blazer as follows unless instructed differently in section VI. Crop -Specific
|
||
Information. Applications can be made to actively growing weeds as aerial banding or broadcast applications
|
||
at the rates and growth stages listed in Table 4. Application Rates for Ultra Blazer herbicide – Peanuts and
|
||
Soybeans and in VI. Crop-Specific Information for edamame (vegetable soybean) , rice, Strawberries and
|
||
Low Growing Berries (crop subgroup 13 -07G) and sugarbeet. The most effective control will result from making
|
||
postemergence applications of Ultra Blazer early, when weeds are small . Early application to weeds r esults in
|
||
improved weed control, allows use of the lower rate (depending on weed species), and makes thorough spray
|
||
coverage easier to obtain . Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will
|
||
prevent adequate control.
|
||
|
||
Irrigation
|
||
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth . Weeds
|
||
growing under drought conditions usually are not adequately controlled.
|
||
|
||
Spray Coverage
|
||
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray . Always use an adequate volume of spray solution to ensure
|
||
thorough coverage. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage .
|
||
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Do not cultivate within 5 days before or 7 days after applying Ultra Blazer herbicide.
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
Water Volume: Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre . A minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre has
|
||
been effective where adequate coverage can be achieved.
|
||
Spray Pressure: Use up to 40 psi.
|
||
|
||
Application Equipment: Use only diaphragm-type nozzles that produce cone or fan-spray spray patterns.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application (Banding)
|
||
Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions for band applications . When row banding equipment is
|
||
used, adjust it to provide maximum coverage of weeds in the row . Thorough coverage of the weeds can be
|
||
obtained with two nozzles directed from either side of the crop row toward the weeds in the center rows . The
|
||
minimum band width is 15 inches with a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre on the band . Do not apply with
|
||
a single nozzle over the row.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application Methods and Equipment (Broadcast)
|
||
Water Volume: Use 10-20 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance . Increase water
|
||
volume up to 50 gallons if crop or weed foliage is dense . For Strawberries and Low Growing Berries (crop
|
||
subgroup 13-07G), use 20-40 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre.
|
||
|
||
Spray Pressure: Use a minimum of 40 psi (measured at the boom, not at the pump or in the line) .
|
||
Note: When using the lower water volume (i.e. , 10 gallons per acre) or when crop and weed foliage is dense,
|
||
use a minimum of 60 psi for best results.
|
||
|
||
Application Equipment: Use standard high-pressure pesticide flat fan or hollow cone nozzles spaced up to 20
|
||
in. apart. Do not use flood, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles as erratic coverage
|
||
can cause inconsistent weed control . Do not use selective application equipment such as recirculating sprayers
|
||
or wiper applicators.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Ground boom applications:
|
||
• When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground
|
||
or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3).
|
||
• 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 the crop canopy,
|
||
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size (ASABE S572.3).
|
||
• 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 not exceed 75% of
|
||
the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
• When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement
|
||
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
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
|
||
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
• 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.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|

III. MIXING INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of clean water.
|
||
2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
|
||
3. Products in PVA Bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank.
|
||
Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray
|
||
tank before continuing.
|
||
4. Water dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or
|
||
suspo-emulsions). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added .
|
||
5. Water-soluble products (such as Ultra Blazer). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the
|
||
component has been added.
|
||
6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it
|
||
thoroughly after the component has been added.
|
||
7. Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it
|
||
thoroughly after the component has been added.
|
||
8. Remaining quantity of water. Maintain constant agitation during application.
|
||
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test . For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use
|
||
3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly . Only use water from the intended
|
||
source at the source temperature.
|
||
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon
|
||
for each pint of label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions.
|
||
|
||
When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes . Evaluate the
|
||
solution for uniformity and stability . The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles
|
||
that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture . If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the
|
||
compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent . If the solution is compatible, use the
|
||
compatibility agent as directed on its label . If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the
|
||
same tank.
|
||
|
||
See section VI. Crop -Specific Information for more details . Read and follow the applicable section V.
|
||
Limitations and Restrictions - All Crops and Directions for Use on all products involved in tank mixing . The
|
||
most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes . Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury
|
||
may result from mixing Ultra Blazer with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides),
|
||
additives, or fertilizers. The user assumes all risks of using tank mixes other than those listed.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restrictions, limitations, and directions for use on all product labels involved in the tank
|
||
mixture. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product
|
||
in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
IV. ADDITIVES
|
||
|
||
To achieve consistent weed control, use one of the following additives with Ultra Blazer: ammonium sulfate,
|
||
crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or urea ammonium nitrate . Use AMS (or UAN) when velvetleaf is a
|
||
target weed. Additives may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced . The
|
||
potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high . Consult your local UPL NA
|
||
Inc. representative for your area. See Table 2 , Additive Rates Per Acre for additive rates and Table 1 ,
|
||
Additive Options for Ultra Blazer herbicide Tank Mixes.
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)
|
||
AMS is a dry, granular nitrogen -source fertilizer. Use only fine feed -grade or spray-grade AMS because inferior
|
||
grades of AMS do not dissolve adequately and can plug spray nozzles . Do not apply AMS if applied in less than
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
10 gallons per acre because of potential problems with precipitation in reduced volumes . Use AMS only if it has
|
||
been demonstrated to be successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant
|
||
The standard label rate is 1-2 pints of an 80% active nonionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water . For
|
||
certain weeds, use the higher spray surfactant rate.
|
||
|
||
Oil Concentrate
|
||
The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following
|
||
criteria:
|
||
• be nonphytotoxic,
|
||
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
• provide good mixing quality in the compatibility test, and
|
||
• be successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates should
|
||
contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality . Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory
|
||
than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components.
|
||
Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn . Refer to your supplier for information concerning successful
|
||
local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate.
|
||
|
||
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN)
|
||
Commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution, UAN may be added in place of other spray
|
||
additives to improve weed control. Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized, mild
|
||
steel, and brass spray equipment, rinse the entire spray system with water soon after . Do not use brass or
|
||
aluminum nozzles when spraying UAN.
|
||
|
||
Temperature and Relative Humidity Effects
|
||
The following standard will help determine the optimum adjuvant rate to use . If the temperature and relative
|
||
humidity exceed 150 (e.g. temperature of 85ºF plus 70% relative humidity = 155), use the lower adjuvant rates.

a Do not count leaves as pairs; count each leaf separately. Do not count cotyledon leaves. Do not spray weeds in the cotyledon
|
||
growth stage.
|

|
||
|
||
b Controlling Florida beggarweed is difficult because of the weed’s long germination season. Apply Ultra Blazer herbicide when
|
||
beggarweed seedlings have no more than 2 young expanding true leaves. Weeds at this time will not be more than 1.5” high. It
|
||
is important to obtain maximum control of the earliest weed flush. Time the cultivation to give maximum control of regrowth or
|
||
secondary weed flushes. Ultra Blazer will suppress or partially control weeds growing under conditions of high soil moisture
|
||
and high relative humidity.
|
||
c Partial control of wild buckwheat and buffalobur can usually be obtained when the seedlings have fewer than 2 true leaves.
|
||
Use Ultra Blazer in 30 gallons of water per acre plus surfactant.
|
||
d Members of the cucumber family germinate over an extended period of time. Therefore, control is difficult to obtain with a
|
||
single spray. For Ultra Blazer to be effective, make the initial application to weeds no later than the 2-leaf growth stage.
|
||
e Use 1.5 pints of Ultra Blazer herbicide per acre and 2 pints of spray surfactant per 100 gallons of spray mix unless otherwise
|
||
stated. Activity depends on good soil moisture during and after the spray applications.
|
||
f Sesbania and crotalaria are very sensitive to Ultra Blazer. Apply 1 pint of Ultra Blazer per acre. Effective control can be
|
||
obtained at just about all plant heights; however, it is important that Ultra Blazer be applied prior to bloom. Do not apply after
|
||
bloom as such applications are usually not effective. To control these weeds, time the application to occur after maximum weed
|
||
emergence has taken place. Care must be exercised to make certain that crop canopies do not shade this weed from spray
|
||
deposits. Waiting for the sesbania to break through the crop canopy may be advisable to control late season infestations.
|
||
g Suppression or partial control.
|
||
h More consistent control of morningglories can be achieved by using sequential applications of 1 pint of Ultra Blazer.
|
||
i The labeled application of Ultra Blazer will usually kill or severely stunt wild poinsettia. Apply before the third true leaf has
|
||
formed. This treatment will usually cause a height differential between soybeans and surviving wild poinsettia which will allow
|
||
directed applications and even greater control.
|
||
j The labeled application of Ultra Blazer will kill or suppress seedlings that are not past the 2-leaf stage. Applications after the
|
||
2-leaf stage are usually ineffective.
|
||
k Use AMS (or UAN) as the additive when velvetleaf is a target weed.
|
||
l Ultra Blazer must not be the basic component of a grassy weed or volunteer small grains management program. Ultra Blazer
|
||
will kill or stunt many emerging volunteer small grains or grassy weeds in the 1-2 leaf stage. Ultra Blazer can be used for
|
||
additional control of escaped grasses and volunteer grains following a pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence herbicide.
|
||
m Growth of perennial weeds from underground rootstocks is very difficult to control. Apply Ultra Blazer as listed above with 2-
|
||
4 pints of spray surfactant per 100 gallons of spray mix to burn back the above-ground plant parts and retard regrowth. Ultra
|
||
Blazer will not kill the underground rootstocks of these weeds.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
|
||
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
|
||
Pesticide Storage: Do not store below 32ºF.
|
||
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mix,
|
||
or rinsate is a violation of federal law . If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to label instructions,
|
||
contact the state agency responsible for pesticide regulation or the Hazardous Waste representative at the
|
||
nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
|
||
Container Handling: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container . Clean container promptly after
|
||
emptying.
|
||
[for containers less than or equal to 5 gallons] Triple rinse as follows: empty the remaining contents into
|
||
application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip . Fill the container 1/4
|
||
full with water and recap . Shake for 10 seconds . Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store
|
||
rinsate for later use or disposal . Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip . Repeat this procedure two
|
||
more times.
|
||
[for containers greater than 5 gallons] [Triple rinse or pressure rinse as follows:
|
||
Triple rinse: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank . Fill the container 1/4 full with
|
||
water. Replace and tighten closures . Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one
|
||
complete revolution, for 30 seconds . After 30 seconds, stand the container over on its end and tip it back and
|
||
forth several times . Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or
|
||
disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.
|
||
Pressure rinse: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to drain for
|
||
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip . Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank or
|
||
collect rinsate for later use or disposal . Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at
|
||
about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after flow begins to drip.]
|
||
[all sizes] Then offer for recycling, if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other
|
||
procedures approved by state and local authorities . If rinsate cannot be used, follow pesticide disposal
|
||
instructions. If not triple rinsed, these containers are acute hazardous wastes and must be disposed of in
|
||
accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
|
||
|
||
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
|
||
Dike and contain the spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid diking material to
|
||
separate containers for disposal. Remove contaminated clothing, and wash affected skin areas with soap and
|
||
water. Wash clothing before re-use. Keep the spill out of all sewers and open bodies of water.
