TIMING TO WEEDS : :: • • • .. -. Apply STEADFAST® when grass.fioar&.;.
restrictive, in the states of KS, OK apil~~~li;t~~~
Apply STEADFAST® to field corn hybrids with a relative
maturity (RM) rating of 77 days or more, including "food
grade" (yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy and oil corn.
Not all field corn hybrids of less than 77 days RM, not all
white corn hybrids nor Hi-Lysine hybrids have been tested for
crop safety, nor does DuPont have access to all seed company
data. Consequently, injury arising from the use of
STEADFAST® on these types of corn is the responsibility of
the user. Consult with your seed supplier before applying
STEADFAST® to any of these corn types. Applications of
STEADFAST® to corn hybrids of 77-88 CRM should be
limited to corn that is 12" tall, less than or equal to 5-1eaf
collars, whichever is most restrictive. In addition, the
application of tank mixtures with dicamba-containing
herbicides (such as "Clarity" or "Distinct") to 77-88 CRM
corn should contain no more than 2 ounces a.i. dicamba (e.g.
4 ounces "Clarity"). Seed company publications indicate
"Warning", "Crop Response Warning", or "Sensitive"
notations for the use of some ALS herbicides on corn hybrids
of 77 CRM or higher. As noted in the seed company
publications, DuPont sulfonylurea herbicides such as
STEADFAST® should be used with caution on these hybrids.
Consult with your local DuPont representative or the DuPont
Label Web Site (http://cropprotection.dupont.coml) for any
additional supplemental labeling information relative to
potential corn hybrid sensitivity to STEADFAST®.
Limit STEADFAST® applications to corn that is up to 12"
tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is IUung a:aev.ely
growing, but before they exceed the ses listed on this •• ••• label. •• • ••• • ••••
• Applications made to weeds at grm4th sZages greatM than
those listed below may result in ilIMplete control. • •••••• Grass competition due to incomplete control may reduce
yields. • •••••
• Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum :cti~!ty.
Rainfall within 5 to 7 days after application will enhance
STEADFAST® residual activity.
If an activating rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (>0.5 inch) is
not received within 5-7 days after application, follow with a
cultivation or with a sequential application of DuPont™
ACCENT® herbicide, if needed. See CULTIVATION or .

As weeds mature, their sensitivity to STEADFAST®
decreases. Grassy weeds growing under stress due to
drought or other environmental factors may become mature
(more than 3 tillers) before they reach the size listed, in
which case their susceptibility to STEADFAST® may be
reduced.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Applications of STEADFAST® must include either a crop
oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition, an
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specif
ically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil
concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the
preferred adjuvant system for STEADFAST®. Consult local
DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies
prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is
tank mixed with STEADFAST®, select adjuvants
authorized for use with Doth products. Products must
contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or
Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Apply at 1 % v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or
2% under arid conditions.
• MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallon per 100
gallons spray solution) if specifically noted on adjuvant
product labeling.
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality,
petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at
least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
• Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray
solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic
surfactant with a hydrophilicllipophilic balance (HLB)
greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate
(UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 pounds/acre of a
spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre
UAN or 4 pounds/acre AMS under arid conditions.
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier

MIXINGINSTRUcnONS
- Fill the tank 114 to 113 full of water.
- While agitating, add the required arnount of DuPont™ STEADFAST®.
- Continue agitation until the STEADFAST® is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
- Once the STEADFAST® is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. Thoroughly mix STEADFAST® with water before adding any other material.
- As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer).
- If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
- Apply STEADFAST® spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
- If STEADFAST® and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the STEADFAST® in clean water prior'to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the STEADFAST®. WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES STEADFAST® may be used as a sequential application in a planned postemergence weed control program in com following a reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide. Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence grass herbicide Prior to com emergence and then follow with a postemergence application of STEADFAST®. Apply products such as DuPont™ CINCH®, "Balance" PRO, "Axiom", "Dual" II Magnum, "Surpass", "Frontier" and "Harness" Xtra at as low as 114 to 112 of the full labeled use rate and follow with a sequential postemergence application of STEADFAST®. Refer to WHEN TO APPLY - POSTEMERGENCE and ENVIRON MENTAL CONDmONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY sections for complete application information and precautions. Refer to the preemergence grass herbicide label for use restrictions, application information, rotational crop guidelines, and cautionary statements prior to applying STEADFAST®. Do not apply STEADFAST® to com that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications made to the current or preceding crop. TANK MIX APPLICATIONS Application of STEADFAST® tank mixtures containing atrazine and/or dicamba (in some states) are limited to corn that is up to 12" tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive. See TANK MIXTURES WITH "DISTINCT" OR DICAMBA for additional information. Refer to the table below for weeds controlled using preferred tank mixtures. 4 1~\0 For Additional Control of BroadleafWeeds STEADFAST® may be tank mixed with the herbicides below for additional control of broadleaf weeds. See the tank mix partner label for weeds controlled, precautions, use' restrictions and crop rotation information. Crop oil concentrate must be used in the tank mixtures specified below. The use of nonionic surfactant is permitted in place of crop oil concentrate for tank mixtures containing dicamba, however, overall weed control may be reduced.

;i:1~~~~~fe~~~;~~
Tank Mixtures with "Distinct" or Dicamba
In situations where the use of crop oil concentrate with growth
regulator heibicides is not desirable (e.g. extremely cold
weather), STEADFAST® may be tank mixed with 2 ounces
"Distinct" + a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (1 quart/IOO
gallons spray solution) in place of crop oil concentrate, but
overall weed control may be reduced.
Tank mixture applications of STEADFAST® with herbicides
containing dicamba (e.g. 1-2 ounces "Distinct" and 4 fluid
ounces "Clarity") should be limited to com that is up to 12" tall,
up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive,
except for the states east of the line formed by the western
borders ofMI, IN, KY, TN, and MS, and except where noted in
local DuPont Technical Bulletins. In these states the upper com
size limits are 20" tall, up to and including 6 leaf collars.
Tank Mixtures with "Exceed" or "Spirit"
STEADFAST® may be tank mixed with 0.5 ounces of
"Spirit" or 0.125 ounces of "Exceed" herbicides for
additional control of velvetleaf, COrnnlon and giant ragweed,
lambsquarters, ivy leaf momingglory, PA smartweed, and
sunflower. Applications must be made to emerged field com
before the com is 12" tall or is exhibiting 6 leaf collars,
whichever is the more restrictive.
For Additional Control of Crabgrass and Later Emerging

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of
DuPont™ STEADFAST® and other pesticides. Use a clear
glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their
relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several
times and observe the mixture for approximately 112 hour. If
the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or
layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank
mix combination should not be used.
SEQUENTIAL DUPONTTM ACCENT®
APPLICATIONS
Apply ACCENT® herbicide 14 or more days after
STEADFAST® applications to control grasses that may
emerge later in the season. Refer to the ACCENT® label for
grass species controlled, proper size of weeds, rates, com
sizes, and other information. When following a
STEADFAST® application, do not use more than 2/3 ounce
ACCENT® per acre.
:,il"'I~.~~
CULTIVATION
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed
weeds, or weeds that emerge after an application of
STEADFAST® in the absence of an activating rainfall.
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7-14 days after
STEADFAST® 'application or upon seeing the establishment
of new weeds.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
STEADFAST® provides best results when applied to young,
actively growing weeds. Applications made during warm,
moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture
both before and after application maximizes performance.
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage,
activating rainfall, weed spectrum, weed size, growing
conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and
adjuvant selection.
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity.
Rainfall within 5-7 days will enhance STEADFAST® residual
activity. A timely cultivation may be required for maximum
weed control without an activating rain.
STEADFAST® is rainfast in 4 hours.
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that are
under stress may result in incomplete control. Poor weed control
or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under
stress from:
\oo'~
• abnormally hot or cold weather
• environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated
soils, hail damage, or frost
• disease, insect, or nematode injury
• prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year's herbicide
application
Severe stress from conditions immediately following application
may also result in crop injury or poor weed control. Stress
affects all weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass,
.green and yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet.
7
If the com or grass weeds are under stress, delay application
until stress passes and both weeds and com resume active
growth.
Apply STEADFAST® when minimum nighttime temperatures
are above 40°F and the maximum daytime temperatures are
below 92°F to maximize performance and minimize the
potential for crop injury.
Applications made during or immediately following periods of
large day/night temperature fluctuations or where daytime
temperatures do not exceed 50°F may decrease weed control
and increase the potential for crop injury.
STEADFAST® rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible
weeds, reducing weed competition within as little as 6 hours
after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21 days.
Ground application of STEADFAST® to dry, dusty fields may
reduce weed control in wheel track areas.

Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry weather prevails between application and rotational crop planting. For fields treated with sequential applications of DuPont™ STEADFAST® and DuPont™ ACCENT® herbicide, consult the crop rotation intervals listed on the ACCENT® and STEADFAST® labels. Use the most restrictive recrop interval from either label.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Many crops are highly sensitive to STEADFAST®. All
direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops
other than field com should be avoided (see also SPRAY
DRIFT MANAGEMENT).
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer
screens.
8
Do not apply. STEADFAST® through any type of irrigation
system.
GROUND APPLICATION
Broadcast Application
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to
ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best
performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered
stands of weeds
For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that
deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as indicated, for example,
by ASAE Standard S572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE
spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray
volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds.
For optimal product performance and minimal spray drift,
adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height
recommended in manufacturers' specifications.
Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an
excessive rate directly over the rows and into the com plant
whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning
while spraying may result in crop injury.
Band Application
For band applications, use proportionately less spray
mixture. To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band
applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions for nozzle type (flat fans),
orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds,
spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Aerial application is not permitted in New York State or
California.
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide
optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a
minimum of 5 GPA.

partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit overnight. Cleanup Procedure I. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean water for a minimum of 5 min. 2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (contluning 3% active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate/recirculate for at least IS min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank. 3. Repeat Step 2. 4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and water. 5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses and boom.
- Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a
tank cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea
Herbicides, A Guide to Equipment Cleanout," may be used.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
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.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE APPLICATOR.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets (>150 - 200 microns). 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 ENVIRON
MENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this
label.
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
• 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 recommended
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.
• 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 minimumnumber 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.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core
with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce
larger droplets than other nozz!e types.
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4
of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift
potential.
• Application Height - Application more than lOft above
the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
BOOM HEIGHT
Setting the boom at.the lowest labeled height (if specified)
which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of
-' droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment,
the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
9
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
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.

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 unifonn deposition of the product.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) program that can include biological,
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic
pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field·
scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest
identification, population monitoring, and treating when
target pest populations reach locally detennined action
thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service,
professional consultants or other qualified authorities to
detennine appropriflte action treatment threshold levels for
treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.
RESISTANCE
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of
action are used repeatedly over several years to control the
same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring
resistant biotypes may survive a correctly appliedberbicide
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be
expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be
necessary to retreat the problem area using a product
affecting a different site of action.
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the
proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant
weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural
practices within and between crop seasons such as using a
combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners
and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different
site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied
to individual fields to help obtain infonnation on the spread
and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your
agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate
state agricultural extension service representative for
specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide
recommendations available in your area.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Injury to or loss of desirable vegetation may result from failure
to observe the following:
• Do not apply DuPont™ STEADFAST® or drain or flush
application equipment on or near desirable trees or other
plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in
locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into
contact with their roots.
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or
similar areas.
• Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
• Do not contaminate any body of water.
• Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after
use. (See the Sprayer Cleanup section of this label for
instructions.)
• Do not graze or feed forage, hay, or straw from treated areas
to livestock Within 30 days of STEADFAST® application.
