Engineering Control Statements
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [4 0 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Environmental Hazards
Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
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.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Mesotrione is known to leach through soil in to groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label
use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rainwater. This is espec ially
true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface
water via runoff for several months after application.
A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features incl uding
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of A326.02 from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
A326.02 is a systemic pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide for selective contact and residual control of
broadleaf weeds in labeled crops. In pre-emergence applications, weeds take up the product through the soil during
weed emergence. Dry weather conditions reduce pre-emergent effectiveness of A326.02. At least ¼-inch of rainfall must
occur within 7-10 days of application; rotary hoeing activates A326.02. In post- emergence applications, vulnerable
weeds take up the product through treated foliage and stop growing soon after application. It can take up to two
weeks for weeds to die. A326.02 is absorbed by soil and/or through foliage of emerged weeds.
A326.02 does not control most species of grass weeds. A326.02 can be tank-mixed with other herbicides registered to
control grass weeds (see tank-mix information in this label for additional information). A326.02 can be used in
combination with a burndown herbicide prior to planting to provide weed control in field corn, seed corn, yellow
popcorn, and sweet corn. It is the pesticide user’s responsi bility to ensure that all prod ucts are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applic able restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use an precautionary statement for each
product in the tank mixture.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that A326.03 contains a Group 27 [Mesotrione] herbicide. Any weed population may contain
plants naturally resistant to Group 27 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed population if these herbicid es are
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of A326.02 or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with
different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• 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 cr op
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.
• Scout before and 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 dos e
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular we ed
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 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 pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch
to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or

INTEGRATED WEED PEST MANAGEMENT
Integrate A326.02 into an overall weed pest management strategy whenever the use of an herbicide is required.
Practices known to reduce weed development (tillage, crop competition) and herbicide use (weed scouting, proper
application timing, banding) should be followed wherever possible. Consult local agricultural and weed authorities for
additional IPM strategies established for your area.
USE PRECAUTIONS - A326.02
Severe corn injury and/or yield loss can occur:
x From post-emergent application of A326.02 to corn treated with Terbufos or Chlorpyrifos.
x If foliar post-emergent applications of A326.02 are made to corn in a tank mix with any organophosate
or carbamate insecticide.
x If an organophosphate or carbamate insecticide is applied foliar post-emergence within 7 days before or 7 days
after A326.02 application.
x When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures control
can be reduced or delayed since the weeds are not actively growing. Weed escapes or regrowth may occur when
application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if an application
of A326.02 is made following label directions when weeds are actively growing.
x A326.02 may be applied with pyrethroid type insecticides (e.g., Lambda cyhalothrin).
USE RESTRICTIONS - A326.02
x DO NOT apply this product to white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn.
x DO NOT cultivate corn within 7 days before or after application of this product as weed control may be reduced.
x DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system unless specified under the specific crop section
of the label.
x DO NOT apply this product with suspension fertilizers as the carrier.
x DO NOT apply this product post-emergence in a tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate grass herbicides, unless
specifically directed under one of the tank mix sections of this label, or crop injury can occur.
x DO NOT make aerial applications of this product unless specified in the specific crop directions of this label.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in
accordance with American Society of Agriculture & 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.
x 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. Otherwise, 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.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in
accordance with American Society or Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE
S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x 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 are made
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
o Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop lets 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.
o Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
o Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
ƒ 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 lo w 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.Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that
could affect spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications:
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

AERIAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORN AND SUGARCANE
RESTRICTION: A326.02 can be applied aerially only to corn and sugarcane.
A326.02 may be applied aerially for preemergence or postemergence weed control in corn only in the following states:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
A326.02 may be applied aerially for preemergence or postemergence weed control in sugarcane only in the following
states: Florida, Louisiana and Texas.
Applications must be made in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.
PRE-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply A326.02 preemergence with a carrier volume of 10-60 gal/A.
Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and must provide accurate and uniform application.
Apply in a spray volume of 10-60 gal/A using water or liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) as the carrier. Use
a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to
keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the
agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
POST-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and must provide accurate and uniform application. Use
spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Good weed coverage is
essential for optimum weed control. Boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications must be based on the height of
the crop – at least 15 inches above the crop canopy.
Apply in a spray volume of 10-30 gal/A using water as a carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi
at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with
extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 20 gals.
Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110° are advised for optimum postemergence coverage. DO NOT use floodjet nozzles or controlled
droplet application equipment for postemergence applications.
Nozzles may be angled forward 45° to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that all in-line
strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the
agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
USE DIRECTIONS WITH SPRAY ADDITIVES
POSTEMERGENCE ADJUVANTS
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Chemical Producers
and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is advised.
The following adjuvant directions are intended primarily for A326.02 use in corn. Refer to the use directions section of each
crop section for specific adjuvant directions.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO FIELD CORN AND SEED CORN
For postemergence applications made after the crop has emerged, add crop oil concentrate (COC) to the spray solution at
7
the rate of 1.0 gal/100 gal of water (1.0% v/v). The use of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v)
instead of COC is allowed, but the weed control achieved with COC is consistently better than NIS. The use of methylated
seed oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants for postemergence applications of A326.02 may cause severe crop injury
to occur. DO NOT use MSO adjuvants for postemergence use unless directed for a specific tank mix under the A326.02
TANK MIXTURES FOR CORN section of this label. In addition to COC, always add spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray
solution at a rate of 2.5% (v/v) or AMS at 8.5 lb/100 gal of spray solution, except if precluded elsewhere on this label or by a
supplemental A326.02 label.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO SWEET CORN AND YELLOW POPCORN
DO NOT add UAN or AMS when making postemergence applications of A326.02 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn, or severe
crop injury may occur.
For postemergence applications to yellow popcorn and sweet corn, the use of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) instead of a crop
oil concentrate (COC) is advised, so as to minimize the risk of crop injury. A COC may be used, and will increase the level of
weed control achieved, especially under dry growing conditions, but the risk of crop injury is increased significantly under
lush growing conditions. For optimum control, the addition of atrazine is advised wherever rotational or local atrazine
restrictions allow.
PREEMERGENCE ADJUVANTS
For A326.02 preplant or preemergence applications, and where weeds are present, the use of any adjuvant for agricultural
use is permitted. In these situations, MSO type adjuvants are typically better than COC type adjuvants, which are typically
better than NIS type adjuvants for enhancing weed control. UAN or AMS can be added and typically provides better weed
control than not adding one of these. 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.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEANING
It is important to follow the procedures below for cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as
much spray solution as is needed.
1) Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
2) Prepare cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals. of water. Commercial spray tank cleaners
can be used in lieu of ammonia/water solution.
3) Using a pressure washer, clean the inside of the spray tank with the cleaning solution. Wash ALL parts of the tank,
including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution
toensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the
spray and recirculate the cleaning solution for a minimum of 15 minutes. All visible deposits of spray solution must
be removed from the spray tank before making any other applications.
4) Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles with cleaning solution for a minimum of 1 minute.
5) Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner.
6) Repeat steps 2-5.
7) Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the
previous steps.
8) Rinse the complete spray system with clean water.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
See the Crop Use Directions sections of the label for specific tank mix instructions.
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those
outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions.
MIXING RESTRICTIONS
x DO NOT exceed any dosage rates specified on labels.
x DO NOT mix this product with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
x DO NOT tank mix A326.02 with any other insecticide, fungi cide, fertilizer, or adjuvant not specified on this
8
label without first testing compatibility, as poor mixing can occur. Test compatibility on a small scale (including a
jar test) before actual tank mixing.
MIXING PROCEDURE
1. Use sprayers in good operating condition with good agitation. Ensure that the sprayer is cleaned according to the
label instructions of the product label used prior to A326.02. For post-emergence applications, use clean water
only for the spray solution. Ensure that all in- line strainers and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or
coarser. DO NOT use screens finer than 50-mesh.
2. Use liquid fertilizer (NOT suspension fertilizer) as the carrier for pre-emergence applications.
3. Start filling spray tank or pre-mix tank with clean water and begin agitation. Maintain constant agitation.
4. When sprayer or pre-mix is half full of water, add AMS, maintaining agitation until dispersed.
5. Add A326.02 slowly and agitate until completely dissolved. Wait at least 1 minute after the last of the A326.02
has been added to allow for complete dispersion. If using cold water, a longer agitation period may be required
to ensure adequate dispersing.
6. If tank mixing, add the tank mix product.
7. Add the adjuvant and UAN, if needed, and continue to fill tank to desired level with water.
A326.02 WEED CONTROL TABLES
A326.02 applied as directed in this label will control or partially control the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Partial control means either erratic control (good to poor control) or control that is below what is regarded as acceptable
control for commercial weed control.
For best post-emergence results, apply A326.02 to actively growing weeds.
Dry weather following pre-emergence applications may reduce efficacy of residual weed control. If irrigation is available,
apply ½-1-inch water after pre-emergence application. If irrigation is not available, make a uniform shallow cultivation as
soon as weeds emerge.
A326.02 applied alone or in a tank-mix with atrazine will not provide consistent or adequate control of weeds that are
resistant to post-emergence HPPD inhibiting herbicides.
Refer to the crop sections of this label for specific use directions and application rates.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS – CORN
Apply A326.02 by ground for pre-emergence or post-emergence weed control in field corn, seed corn, yellow popcorn,
and sweet corn. Apply A326.02 to corn up to 30” tall or up to the 8-leaf stage of corn growth to control broadleaf and
grass weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Aerial applications of A326.02 can be made pre-emergence or post-emergence in the following states: Alabama, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont,
Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
See seed company instructions for use on field corn inbred lines. Special adjuvant restrictions must be followed for post-
emergence applications of A326.02 in yellow popcorn or sweet corn (see the Spray Additives section of this label).
Post-emergence application of A326.02 to yellow popcorn and sweet corn hybrids may cause crop bleaching. Bleach
is transitory and will not affect final yield or quality. Herbicide sensitivity, however, can vary widely in yellow popcorn and
sweet corn, and all hybrids of these have not been tested. Contact your local popcorn/sweet corn company, Fieldman,
or University Specialist to learn about hybrid directions before making a post-emergence application of A326.02 to
yellow popcorn or sweet corn. DO NOT include nitrogen based adjuvants (UAN or AMS) when making post-emergence
applications of A326.02 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn.
Temporary transient bleaching may occur in field corn treated with A326.02 post-emergence under extreme weather
conditions or when the crop is under stress. Field corn will quickly outgrow this condition and develop normally.
Corn Restrictions:
x DO NOT apply more than 7.7 fl. oz./A (0.24 lb. mesotrione AI/A) of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT make more than 2 applications per year when using reduced application rates.
x DO NOT exceed 7.7 fl. oz. (0.24 lb. AI/A) in a single pre-emergence application.
12
x DO NOT exceed 3.0 fl. oz. (0.094 lb. AI/A) in a single post-emergence application.
x Minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
x DO NOT feed or harvest forage, grain, or stover within 45 days after application.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 to white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn.

application may be controlled after the herbicide is absorbed into the soil. A326.02 will not control most grass weeds.
Two post-emergence applications of A326.02 may be made under the following restrictions:
x Only one post-emergence application may be made if A326.02 has been applied pre-emergence. DO NOT exceed
a total of 7.7 fl. oz./A (0.24 lb. AI/A) per year.
x Minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
x Applications made at rates lower than 3.0 fl. oz./A. (0.094 lb. AI/A) post-emergence may not provide adequate
weed control and may result in reduced residual control.
x DO NOT exceed a total of 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) for the two post-emergence applications.
x If a post-emergence application of A326.02 was made to ground that received pre-emergence treatment of
another mesotrione-containing herbicide, atrazine must be tank mixed with A326.02.
x If mixing A326.02 with atrazine, DO NOT apply to corn taller than 12”.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS – ASPARAGUS
A326.02 can be applied broadcast or banded at a rate of 3.0-7.7 fl. oz./A (0.094-0.24 lb. AI/A) to asparagus as a spring
application prior to spear emergence, as a post-harvest application (after final harvest), or both.
Use the 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) rate for post-emergence control or partial control of the emerged weeds listed in
Table 1. Use the 6.0-7.7 fl. oz./A (0.19-0.24 lb. AI/A) rate for pre-emergence control or partial control of the weeds listed
in Table 2. For banded applications, the application must be made to account for band width, i.e., to deliver 3.0-7.7 fl. oz.
(0.094-0.24 lb. AI) per treated acre. For the best pre- emergence weed control with spring applications, A326.02 must be
applied after fern mowing, disking or other tillage operation but prior to asparagus spear emergence.
15
When making post-harvest applications, the rate applied pre-emergence in the spring must be taken into account so as
not to exceed the 7.7 fl. oz./A (0.24 lb. AI/A) per year rate limit. Post-harvest applications must be made in a way that
minimizes contact with any standing asparagus spears or ferns and ma ximizes contact with the weeds and/or soil, e.g.,
by using a directed or semi-directed type application, or crop injury may occur. With post-harvest applications, the use
of an adjuvant will increase the risk of crop injury.
If weeds are emerged at the time of the A326.02 application, the addition of a crop oil concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at
the rate of 1% v/v or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at the rate of 0.25% v/v is advised. In addition to COC or NIS, a spray grade
UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) at the rate of 2.5% v/v or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 8.5 lbs./100 gallons of spray solution
may be added for improved burndown of emerged weeds. If weeds have not yet emerged, no adjuvant is advised.
Asparagus Restrictions:
x DO NOT apply more than 7.7 fl. oz./A (0.24 lb. AI/A) of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply more than 7.7 fl. oz./A (0.24 lb. AI/A) in a single application.
x DO NOT make more than two A326.02 applications per year when using reduced application rates.
x Minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS - BLUEGRASS, RYEGRASS (ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL), AND TALL FESCUE GROWN FOR SEED
A326.02 can be applied to bluegrass, annual ryegrass, perennial ryegrass, or tall fescue which is grown for seed. A326.02
can be applied as a pre-emergence application to bare soil (new seeding) or as a post- emergence application to an emerged
grass crop.
Pre-Emergence Applications
Apply A326.02 as a broadcast, surface spray at a rate of 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) to a newly seeded crop. The A326.02
application must be made prior to crop and weed emergence. Rainfall or irrigation as the newly seeded grass crop emerges
from the soil may increase the risk of injury from A326.02. Grass crop injury symptoms include temporary bleaching of newly
emerged leaves, or in extreme conditions, stunting. For a list of pre-emergence weeds controlled or partially controlled
see Table 2. In addition to the weeds listed in Table 2, A326.02 applied pre-emergence will control mannagrass.
Post-Emergence Application
Apply A326.02 as a broadcast post-emergence spray at a rate of 3.0-6.0 fl. oz./A (0.094-0.19 lb. AI/A) to emerged
bluegrass, perennial ryegrass or tall fescue grown for seed. Use the 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) rate for post-emergence
control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1. In addition to the weeds listed in Table 2, A326.02 applied post-
emergence will control mannagrass (up to 3 tillers).
Use the 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) rate for post-emergence weed control plus extended residual weed control (see Table 2).
The addition of a crop oil concentrate type adjuvant at 1% v/v or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of
0.25% v/v is advised. Post-emergence applications of A326.02 may result in temporary bleaching of the grass crop.
In addition to COC or NIS, a spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) at the rate of 2.5% v/v or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate
of 8.5 lbs./100 gallons of spray solution may also be added for improved control of emerged weeds. The addition of UAN
or AMS will improve consistency of post-emergence weed control but will also increase the risk of grass crop injury,
especially at A326.02C rates greater than 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A). If grass crop injury is a concern, do not add UAN or
AMS to the spray solution.
Tank mixing other pesticides with A326.02 post-emergence may increase the risk of crop injury. Avoid adding pesticides
with emulsifiable concentrate (EC) type formulations to A326.02 for applications made post-emergence to the crop.
Restrictions:
x DO NOT harvest the grass crop for seed or straw within 60 days following the application of A326.02.
x DO NOT graze or feed forage from treated areas within 14 days following harvest of seed or straw and at least
74 days after application of A326.02.
x DO NOT make more than two applications of A326.02 per year.
x Minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
x DO NOT apply more than 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) in a single application and not more than 9 fl. oz./A (0.282 lb. AI/A)
of A326.02 per year.
x Applications of A326.02 to grasses grown for seed species not listed on this label may result in severe injury.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS – BUSH AND CANEBERRIES (CROP GROUP 13-07A AND 13-07B)
Note: Not all cultivars and types of berries that are included within the Environmental Protection Agencies definition of
bush and caneberries (Crop Subgroups 13-07A and 13-07B) have been tested and shown to have adequate crop safety to
mesotrione. Those that have been tested, and are believed to be reasonably fit, are listed below along with use directions
for that crop. If A326.02 is used on bush or caneberries not listed below, severe crop injury may occur.
A326.02 may be applied as a pre-bloom post-directed spray in high bush blueberry, lingonberry, red currant, black
currant, black raspberry, red raspberry, and blackberry . For a list of weeds controlled see Tables 1 and 2. A326.02 may
be applied in bush or caneberries at a rate up to 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A). If a split application weed control program is
desired, 3 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) followed by 3 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) may be used, but no more than two applications
per year are allowed and not more than 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) in total per year. If two applications are made, they
must be made no closer than 14 days apart. The use of a crop oil concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at the rate of 1% v/v is
advised, but avoid using COC adjuvants that are injurious to bush or caneberry leaves. DO NOT apply A326.02 to bush
or caneberries after the onset of the bloom stage or illegal residues may occur.
In low bush blueberries, A326.02 may only be applied in the non-bearing year. This application may be a broadcast
application. Up to 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) of A326.02 may be applied in a single application, or 3 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb.
AI/A) followed by 3 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) if used in a split application program. No more than two applications per year
are allowed and not more than 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) in total per year. If two applications are made, they must be made
no closer than 14 days apart. The use of a crop oil concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at 1% v/v is advised. Applications of
A326.02 during dry weather conditions and/or temperatures above 85° can cause injury to low bush blueberries.
Applications of A326.02 can cause yellowing or necrosis of leaves and under severe conditions, leaf drop may occur
especially on “Sourtop” variety blueberries.

Weed Control (Table 1 and 2)
A326.02 provides both preemergence and postemergence control of susceptible weeds. Best control is obtained from
preemergence applications before germination of seed or as postemergence applications are made before weeds reach 5
inches in height. Susceptible weeds are listed in Tables 1 and 2 of this label. Rainfall or irrigation soon after application will
enhance preemergence activity.
USE DIRECTIONS
Apply as a directed or shielded spray. Avoid contact with trunk surfaces, fruit or crop foliage. DO NOT apply when nuts or
fruits are on the ground at harvest. Ensure that soil is firm, settled and relatively free of tras h at time of application. Als o
e n s u r e t h a t t h e s o i l i s f r e e o f d e p r e ssions around trees where rain or irrigation water can concentrate. Apply the first
application of A326.02 in late fall/early winter or spring and subsequent applications utilizing one of the programs noted in
the Table 6.

x DO NOT make more than two applications of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply more than 8.0 fl. oz./A (0.25 lb. AI/A) in a single application.
x DO NOT apply more than 16.0 fl. oz./A (0.5 lb. AI/A) per year.
x If two applications are made, they must be made no closer than 14 days apart.
Sprinkler Irrigation Application – Cranberries Only
Check the irrigation system to ensure uniform application of water to all areas. Thorough coverage of foliage is required
for optimal control. Maintain good agitation in the pesticide supply tank prior to and during the entire application process.
Inject the specified rate of A326.02 into the irrigation system with a metering device designed to introduce a constant
flow and that will distribute the product to target areas in 0.1-0.2 acre-inch of water. Use the least amount of water with
this rate range required for proper distribution and coverage.
After application is complete, flush the entire irrigation and injection systems with clean water before stopping the system.
If application is being made during a normal irrigation set of a stationary sprinkler, the specified rate of A326.02 the area
covered needs to be injected into the system only during the end of the irrigation set for sufficient time to provide optimal
coverage and distribution.
CHEMIGATION USE PRECAUTIONS – SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
Apply this product through center pivot or solid set sprinkler irrigation systems only. DO NOT apply this product through
any other type of irrigation system.
Non-uniform distribution of treated water can cause crop injury, product ineffectiveness, and/or illegal pesticide residues
in the crop. Contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts if you have questions
about calibrating equipment.
DO NOT connect an irrigation system or greenhouse system used for pesticide application to any public water system. A
public water system is any system used for provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system
has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the
year. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the
responsible personal shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments if the need arise.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on
the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back-flow. The pesticide injection pipeline must
contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the
intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the
supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional
interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The
irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must also use a metering
pump, including a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of
materials that are compatible with pesticides and are capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Any alternatives to the above required safety devices must conform to the list of EPA approved alternative devices.
CHEMIGATION USE RESTRICTIONS – SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
x DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
x DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment or non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
x DO NOT apply directly to water or areas where surface water is present outside the bog system.
20
x DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
x DO NOT apply within 10 feet of surface water outside the bog system.
x DO NOT spray to runoff.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS – FLAX
A326.02 may be applied pre-emergence in flax, i.e., after planting but before crop emergence, at a rate up to 6 fl. oz./A
(0.19 lb. AI/A). For a list of weeds controlled see Tables 1 and 2. DO NOT apply more than one application, and not more
than 6 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A), per year in flax. If weeds ar e emerged at the time of application, the use of a crop oil
concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at the rate of 1% v/v is advised. In addition, a spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) at the rate
of 2.5% (v/v) or AMS at the rate of 8.5 lbs./100 gals. of spray solution may be added to improve the burndown of existing
weeds. Applications of A326.02 to emerged flax can result in severe crop injury.
Flax Restrictions:
x DO NOT make more than one application of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply more than 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) in a single application.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 more than 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) per year.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS – OATS
A326.02 can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence (but not both) for weed control in oats.
For pre-emergence control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 2, apply A326.02 broadcast at a rate of 6.0 fl. oz./A
(0.19 lb. AI/A) prior to oat emergence. For best pre-emergence weed control, the A326.02 application must be made prior to
weed emergence.
For post-emergence (after oat emergence) control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1, apply A326.02
at a rate of 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A). For best results, A326.02 must be applied to emerged weeds that are less than 5”
tall. Post-emergence applications of A326.02 may result in temporary injury of the oat crop. Injury symptoms may include
leaf bleaching, leaf burn and in extreme conditions, stunting.
If emerged weeds are present at the time of the A326.02 application, the addition of a crop oil concentrate (COC)
type adjuvant at a rate of 1% v/v or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v is advised. In addition
to COC or NIS, a spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) at the rate of 2.5% v/v or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 8.5
lbs./100 gallons of spray solution may be added for improved weed control. If emerged weeds are not present at the time
of the A326.02 application, no additives are advised. If oat injury is a concern, eliminating the use of UAN or AMS will
reduce the risk for post-emergence crop injury. Additionally, the use of NIS instead of COC will also reduce the oat injury
risk. However, weed control is also reduced if UAN or AMS is eliminated and when switching from COC to NIS.
Tank mixing other pesticides with A326.02 post-emergence may increase the risk of injury. Avoid adding pesticides with
emulsifiable concentrate (EC) type formulations to A326.02 for applications made post- emergence to the crop.
Oat Restrictions:
x DO NOT graze or feed forage from treated areas within 30 days following an application of A326.02
x DO NOT harvest oats within 50 days following the application of A326.02.
x DO NOT make more than one application of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 pre-emergence (prior to oat emergence) at more than 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) per
year.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 post-emergence at more than 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) per year.
x If the oat crop treated with A326.02 is lost or destroyed, oats may be replanted immediately. If A326.02 was
applied to the lost oat crop, no additional A326.02 can be applied to the replanted oat crop.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS – OKRA
A326.02 can be applied as a row-middle or a hooded post-direct treatment (but not both) for weed control in okra.
Pre-Emergence Row-Middle Applications
Apply A326.02 at a rate of 6.0 fl. oz./A (0.19 lb. AI/A) as a banded application to the row middles prior to weed
emergence. For this banded application, leave one foot of un treated area over the okra row or 6” to each side of the
planted row. For banded applications, the application must be made to account for band width, i.e., to deliver 6.0 fl. oz.
(0.19 lb. AI) per treated acre. DO NOT apply A326.02 directly over the planted okra row or severe crop injury may occur.
21
Injury risk is greatest on coarse textured soils (sand, sandy loam or loamy sand).
Post-Emergence Hooded Applications
Apply A326.02 at a rate of 3.0 fl. oz./A (0.094 lb. AI/A) as a post-emergence directed application using a hooded sprayer
for control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1. Okra must be at least 3” tall at the time of this application. I t
is advised that a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v be added to the spray solution. For post-
emergence hooded applications, the spray equipment must be set up to minimize the amount of A326.02 that contacts the
okra foliage or crop injury will occur. For best post-emergence results, A326.02 must be applied to actively growing weeds.
Okra Restrictions:
x DO NOT harvest okra within 28 days following the application of A326.02.
x DO NOT make more than one application of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 as a row-middle application at more than 6.0 fl. oz. (0.19 lb. AI) per acre per year.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS – SORGHUM (GRAIN and SWEET)
Pre-Emergence Application Directions
Make pre-emergence application of A326.02 or pre-plant non-incorporated applications up to 21 days before planting
sorghum for control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 2.
Apply 6.0-6.4 fl. oz./A (0.19-0.2 lb. AI/A) broadcast non-incorporated application prior to sorghum emergence. Making the
application less than 7 days before planting will increase the risk of plant injury, especially if rainfall or irrigation
occurs after the application. Injury symptoms include temporary bleaching of newly emerged leaves. Making application
of this product 8- 21 days prior to planting will decrease risk of crop injury.
22
If A326.02 is applied prior to planting, minimize disturbance of soil treated with herbicide during the planting process
in order to reduce the potential for weed emergence.
If emerged weeds are present at the time of pre-emergence application, use 0.25% v/v of a non-ionic surfactant (NIS)
adjuvant or 1% v/v of crop oil concentrate (COC) and add it to the spray solution. A spray-grade UAN applied at a rate of
2.5% v/v or 8.5 lbs./100 gallons of spray solution of ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be added to the spray solution in addition
to the COC or NIS.
Pre-Emergence Application Restrictions:
x DO NOT make more than one application of A326.02 per year.
x DO NOT apply more than 6.4 fl. oz./A (0.2 lb. AI/A) in a single application.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS – TURFGRASS
This product is applied pre-emergence a nd post-emergence to provide selective contact and residual control of Turfgrass
weeds. When applied pre-emergence, weeds absorb this product during emergence from the soil. Pre-emergence activity
may be reduced under dry conditions. Activate this product with 0.15 inch of irrigation if rain has not occurred within 10
days of application. When used post-emergence, this produc t is absorbed by susceptible weeds through foliar contact and
soil absorption. Foliage of treated weeds cease to grow after ap plication of this product, then turn white from loss of
chlorophyll and die within three weeks. Make a repeat app lication after 2 to 3 weeks to improve post-emergence weed
control. Add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) when making post-emergence applications.
24
This product may cause temporary whitening of Turfgrass foliage . Whitening typically occurs 5 to 7 days after application
and lasts for several weeks. Repeat application to the same site causes less whitening of plant tissue.
This product controls weeds prior to and during seeding of certain Turfgrasses during Turf renovation (see “NEW SEEDINGS”
section). If applied pre-emergence to established Turf, tank-mix this product with other pre-emergence herbicides including
prodiamine (e.g., Barricade®, EPA Reg. No. 100-1139) or pendimethalin (e.g., Pin-Dee™ 3.3 T&O
, EPA Reg. No. 19713-668)
for longer residual and broad spectrum control.
PRECAUTIONS
x Residential Lawn Applications: Unless renovating and/or reseeding home lawns, avoid broadcast application of this
product for pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control as undesirable whitening of some Turfgrasses may
occur.

1For broad spectrum pre-emergence activity, apply with a grass pre-emergence herbicide including prodiamine (e.g., Barricade, EPA Reg. No. 100-
1139) except when used for weed control in new seedings.
2Weed control with post-emergence applications require a second application after 2 to 3 weeks. Apply to young, actively growing
weeds with nonionic type of surfactant.
3Not tested.
4For best post-emergence control, apply at less than 4 tiller Crabgrass and Goosegrass.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
Apply this product at 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre (0.125 – 0.25 lb a.i./A) in at least 30 gallons of water prior to weed
seed germination.
DO NOT exceed 5 fluid ounces per acre (0.155 lb a.i./A) per application to Perennial ryegrass or Fine fescues or
mixed stands that contain greater than 50% Perennial ryegrass and/or Fine fescue.
DO NOT exceed 4 fluid ounces per acre (0.125 lb a.i./A) to St. Augustinegrass sod. Make application close to
anticipated weed seed germination.
Combine this product with a pre-emergence he rbicide including prodiamine (e.g., Barricade , EPA Reg. No. 100-
1139) for extended control of key annual monocot weeds including Crabgrass and Foxtail. In established Turf, this
product is more effective as a post- emergence application unless combined with another soil active herbicide.
NEW SEEDINGS / NEW LAWN ESTABLISHMENT
Apply this product at 5 to 8 fluid ounces per acre (0.155 – 0.25 lb a.i./A) in at least 30 gallons of water prior to
seeding or post seeding of tolerant Turfgrass species liste d on this label, except Fine fescue. This product may
reduce density of Fine fescue seedings. This product can be used on grass seed blends that contain less than 20% by
weight of Hard or Fine fescue. This product will control many monocot and dicot weeds that compete with and slow
the establishment of the Turfgrass stands. For best results, apply at grass seeding or close to seeding. Avoid spraying
on newly germinated Turfgrass plants. Before making a post-emergence application, wait until the newly
germinated Turf has been mowed two times or four weeks after emergence (whichever is Ionger).
POST-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
Apply this product at 4 to 8 fluid ounces per acre (0.125 – 0.25 lb a.i./A) in at least 30 gallons of water. Apply with a
nonionic type of surfactant. A repeat application at two to three weeks may be required for adequate weed control.
Weed control is most effective on young, actively growing weeds. Efficacy will be reduced under moisture stress or
from applications to mature weeds.
CONTROL OF BENTGRASS AND NIMBLEWILL
27
Apply this product at 5 fluid ounces per acre (0.155 lb a.i./a) in at least 30 gallons of water at two to three week
intervals for up to three applications. Apply with a nonionic type of surfactant.
Bentgrass control may be more effective in the late Summ er/early Fall just before onset of renewed Bentgrass
growth than Spring/early Summer applications.
On St. Augustinegrass (sod uses only) and Centipedegrass, if this product is tank-mixed with atrazine or simazine,
DO NOT exceed 4 fluid ounces of this product (0.125 lb a.i.) and 0.5 pound atrazine or simazine per acre. Apply the
tank-mixture to established Turf only. It is the pesticide user’s responsib ility to ensure that all products are
registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applic able restrictions and limitations and directions for use
on all product labels involved in tank-mixing. Users mu st follow the most restrictive directions for use and
precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.
DORMANT BERMUDAGRASS APPLICATIONS ONLY

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
A326.02 is applied pre- and post-emergence to provide selective contact and residual control of turfgrass weeds. If
applied pre-emergence, it is absorbed when emerging from the soil. Pre-emergence activity and control is reduced under
dry conditions. Activate A326.02 with 0.15 inches of irrigation if rain hasn’t fallen within 10 days of application. Post-
emergent control is obtained by absorpti on into the soil and contact with foliage. Growth ceases post-application,
weeds turn white from chlorophyll loss, and will die within three weeks. Make a repeat application after 2-3 weeks to
improve post-emergence weed control. Add a non-ionic surfactant when making post- emergence applications.
Turfgrass color can temporarily become white during treatment. Whitening typically occurs 5-7 days post-application and
lasts for several weeks. A second application to the same site will cause less whitening of plant tissue.
A326.02 controls weeds prior to and during seeding of certain turfgrasses during turf renovation (see New Seedings). If
making pre-emergence application to established turf, tank mix A326.02 with other pre-emergence herbicides including
Barricade® 65WG (EPA Reg. No. 100-834, prodiamine) for longer residual and broad spectrum control.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in
accordance with American Society or Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE
S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
33
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 drople ts. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control.
While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly
or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
o Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop lets 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.
o Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
o Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are
not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. 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 lo w wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that
could affect spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications:
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
Approved Use Sites
A326.02 can be applied to commercial and residential turfgrasses. Non-crop area use sites include golf courses, sod farms,
athletic fields, parks, residential and commercial properties, cemeteries, airports, and lawns.
Turfgrass Use Precautions:
Apply A326.02 at reduced rates of 4 fl. oz./A (0.125 lb. AI/A) or less if tank mixing with atrazine, bentazon, or simazine.
Before tank mixing A326.02 with other herbicides, conduct a compatibility, safety, and efficacy test before treating larger
areas. See tank mix partner labels for directions and precautions. The most restrictive directions apply.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the
34
applicable restrictions and limit ations 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.
Thoroughly clean application equipment after use to avoid injury to sensitive plants.
To avoid injury to sensitive species, keep traffic out of treated areas until sprays have dried; irrigate soil lightly to move
A326.02 from turf foliage before resuming normal irrigation.
Turfgrass Use Restrictions:
x DO NOT overspray or allow spray to drift to ornamentals or flower beds and gardens. Roses and daylilies are
particularly sensitive to A326.02.
x DO NOT apply more than 8 fl. oz./A (0.125 lb. AI/A) in a single application.
x DO NOT apply more than 16 oz. (or 0.50 lb. mesotrione per acre per year) per acre per year.
x DO NOT make more than 4 applications of A326.02 per year when using reduced application rates.
x If multiple applications are made, they must be made no closer than 14 days apart.
x DO NOT plant any crop other than turfgrass for 18 months post-application of A326.02 to avoid turfgrass injury.
x DO NOT apply organophosphate or carbamate insecticides within 7 days of applying A326.02.
x DO NOT apply A326.02 through any type of irrigation system.
x DO NOT make aerial applications.
x DO NOT use treated clippings to mulch trees or vegetable/flower gardens.
x DO NOT apply this product on Bentgrass, Poa annua , kikuyugrass, zoysiagrass seashore paspalum, and
bermudagrass plant injury is unacceptable. Maintain a 5-foot buffer between treated areas and bentgrass or Poa
annua greens.
x DO NOT apply over the top of exposed roots of trees and ornamentals.
x DO NOT use on golf course putting greens; maintain a minimum of a 5-foot buffer between putting greens and
treated areas.
x Residential Lawns: DO NOT make broadcast applications for pre- and post-emergent weed control unless the
home lawn is being reseeded and/or renovated as whitening of some turfgrasses may occur.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that A326.03 contains a Group 27 [Mesotrione] herbicide. Any weed population may contain
plants naturally resistant to Group 27 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed population if these herbicid es are
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of A326.02 or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with
different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• 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 cr op
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.
35
• Scout before and 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 dos e
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular we ed
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 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 pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch
to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advi sors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Atticus, LLC at (984) 465-4754.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
CAUTION
Harmful if absorbed through skin. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin
contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, or clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY: This product is toxic to plants and may
adversely impact the forage and habita t 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.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Mesotrione is known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow.
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality
due to spray drift and runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as
having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months
after application.
A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this
product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and
springs will reduce the potential loading of A326.02 from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when
rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
