PRODUCT INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
Fusion Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of annual and
perennial grass weeds in soybeans, cotton and highway rights-of-way. Fusion
Herbicide provides effective control of grass weeds in conventional tillage, minimum
tillage, and no-till plantings. Fusion Herbicide may be applied for control of emerged
grass weeds before, during or after planting or after harvest of soybeans or cotton.
Fusion Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges (nutgrass).
-7-
Fusion Herbicide is a systemic herbicide which moves from the treated foliage into the
shoots, roots, rhizomes, stolons, and growing points (meristematic regions) of treated
grass weeds.
Rainfastness - Since Fusion Herbicide is rapidly absorbed by the grass foliage, rain or
irrigation occurring one hour or more after application will not affect the activity of Fusion
Herbicide. When tank mixing with broadleaf herbicides, observe the rainfast statement
of the most restrictive label.
Control Symptoms - Growth of treated grass weeds stops soon after application.
Symptoms include loss of vigor, yellowing and/or reddening, and eventual death of the
treated grass plant. Symptoms are generally observed within one week after treatment,
depending on grass weed species and environmental conditions.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Scout and know your field
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all
weeds present.
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and
growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct
timing for the weeds present in the field.
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed
control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for
control of emerged weeds.
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior
to leaving fields.
Difficult to control weeds
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that
allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different
management practices.
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence
herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action
effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
DO NOT overuse the technology
• DO NOT use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the
same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide
with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the
difficult to control weeds.
-8-
Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at
the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
and
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is
suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an
effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed
production.
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
• DO NOT allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as
tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest
weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed
production.
Resistant Weeds
• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension
agent to determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product
are present in your area. DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being
controlled by multiple modes of action. Premixes are intended to broaden the
spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only
one of the active ingredients in this product. If resistant biotypes have been
reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and
tank-mix with an additional different mode of action product so there are multiple
effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Thorough coverage of all grass weed foliage is important for good activity. Optimum
weed control is achieved when young actively growing grass weeds are treated that are
not under stress from low soil moisture, extreme temperatures, low soil fertility,
mechanical, or chemical injury.
Spray Additives - Only crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactants and other adjuvants
cleared for use on growing crops may be used in spray mixture. Under dry conditions,
crop oil concentrate is the preferred adjuvant.
Always Add One of the Following:
• Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Add a non-phytotoxic crop oil concentrate or a once-
-9-
refined vegetable oil concentrate containing 15-20% approved emulsifier, at 0.5-1%
v/v (0.5-1 gal./100 gals.) in the finished spray volume for ground applications. For
aerial applications, add 1 pint of crop oil concentrate per acre.
• Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Add nonionic surfactant containing at least 75%
surface-active agent, at 0.25-0.5% v/v (1-2 qts./100 gals.) in the finished spray
volume for ground applications. For aerial application, add 1 pint of surfactant per
acre.
• Other Adjuvants - Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the
product meets the following criteria:
1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
2. Is nonphytotoxic to the target crop.
3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
4. Is supported locally for use with Fusion on the target crop through proven field
trials and through university and extension recommendations.
Always refer to the product label and follow directions concerning rates, target crops,
environmental effects including drought or weed stress, and use in tank mix with other
labeled pesticides.
DIRECTIONS FOR GROUND APPLICATION
Nozzle Selection - The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective
application of Fusion Herbicide. Flood nozzles are generally not as good as flat fans
since they produce large uneven droplets. The use of nozzles other than flat fans may
result in reduced grass control due to inadequate coverage. DO NOT apply Fusion
Herbicide with recirculating sprayers, rope-wick applicators, controlled droplet
applicators (CDA) or any similar devices.
Spray Volume and Pressure - Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure
complete coverage of the target grasses. Apply in 5-40 gallons per acre of spray
mixture with spray pressures of 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip. When grass foliage is
dense, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed
foliage.
Band Applications - Use a minimum of two nozzles, one directed to each side of the
planted row. Application with a single nozzle directed over the top of the row is not
advised. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band applications.
When making band applications and cultivating in the same operation, position nozzles
in advance of the cultivation device. This will reduce dust in the spray area. Dust can
intercept the spray, reducing weed coverage resulting in less than adequate weed
control.
-10-
Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed for band treatment by the
following formulas:
Band width in inches X broadcast rate = Band herbicide rate
row width in inches per acre per acre
Band width in inches X broadcast volume = Band water volume
row width in inches per acre per acre
Band applications to perennial grasses are not advised, as reinfestation of the treated
band from the untreated middle may result.
Spot Treatments - Mix Fusion Herbicide and crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant
with water according to the amounts shown below. Spray to obtain thorough coverage,
but DO NOT spray to runoff. Re-treat if necessary.

USE RESTRICTIONS
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, a minimum of 55
gallons spray solution must be used per acre.
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, DO NOT exceed a
maximum concentration of 0.01 pounds active ingredient per gallon application
solution.
DIRECTIONS FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
Use sufficient spray volume to ensure complete coverage of target grasses. Apply
using a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. When grass foliage is dense, use a minimum of
10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage.
Application Timing - Best control of susceptible grasses is obtained when Fusion
Herbicide is applied to actively growing grasses before they exceed the listed growth
-11-
stages shown on this label. Refer to Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 for specific directions on use
rates and weed growth stages.
Cultivation - Cultivation of treated grasses is not advised within 7 days prior to or within
7 days after application of Fusion Herbicide as weeds may be put under stress resulting
in reduced weed control. Timely cultivation 2-3 weeks after applying Fusion Herbicide
may assist weed control.
-12-
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications:
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative
canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
• If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is
between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at
the downwind edge of the field.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the
windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the
wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
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.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but
no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential
for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be
followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field
crops. These requirements DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses
or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed ¾ the
length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be
pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more
stringent regulations, they should be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in
the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information.
-13-
Importance of Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage
and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion section of this label).
Controlling Droplet Size
• 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
ratePressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to
produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
• Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider
using nozzles designed to reduce drift
Boom Height
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
Release Height
• 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.
Hand Held Technology Applications
• Take precautions to minimize drift.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate
for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment
distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops,
etc.).
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.
-14-
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.
PRODUCT USE PRECAUTIONS
• Apply to actively growing grasses. Avoid application to grasses which are stressed
due to moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury.
• Apply at the directed rate to grasses at the listed growth stages as outlined in Tables
2, 3, 4 and 5.
• Apply when the first grass weed species in a mixed grass weed population reaches
the specified growth stage for treatment. Use the highest specified rate for grasses
in that population.
• Where irrigation is used as part of normal cropping practice, best results are usually
obtained when Fusion Herbicide is applied within 7 days after irrigation.
• Best perennial grass control can be obtained if rhizomes or stolons are cut up by
preplant tillage practices (disking, plowing, etc.) to stimulate maximum emergence of
grass shoots.
• Tank mixes of Fusion Herbicide with other pesticides, liquid fertilizers or other
additives except as specified on this label or on approved Syngenta supplemental
labels may result in tank mix incompatibility, unsatisfactory performance and/or crop
injury.
• Thoroughly clean spray tank with water and a commercial tank cleaner before and
after each use.
PRODUCT USE RESTRICTIONS
• DO NOT plant corn within 6 months after the last application of Fusion Herbicide or
illegal residues may occur.
• DO NOT plant any other crop not listed on this label within 12 months after the last
-15-
application of Fusion Herbicide or illegal residues may occur.
• DO NOT apply Fusion Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
• DO NOT apply Fusion Herbicide if rainfall is expected within 1 hour.
• DO NOT apply more than 1.125 pounds of fluazifop-p-butyl per acre per year
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, a minimum of 55
gallons spray solution must be used per acre.

TANK MIX AND SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR SOYBEANS
It is the pesticide users 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.
Fusion can be used sequentially or in tank mix with one or more of the following:
Basagran®, Pursuit® Herbicide, Classic®** Herbicide, Cobra®, Flexstar®, Flexstar GT,
Gramoxone® SL 3.0, or Roundup® brands.
-20-
* Fusion at 4 fl oz./A plus Pursuit for volunteer corn and shattercane only.
** If the grass population consists mainly of yellow foxtail, barnyardgrass, woolly
cupgrass, field sandbur, smooth or large crabgrass, Texas panicum, broadleaf
signalgrass or red rice and conditions are less than optimum (see footnote 2,
Table 2), a sequential application is advised to provide satisfactory
performance.
*** Fusion + 2,4-D (LVE) tank mix at 4-8 fl. oz./A + 0.5 lb. AE/A may be used as a
preplant treatment for the control of giant foxtail and fall panicum and broadleaf
weeds as specified on the 2,4-D label. Use the higher rate of Fusion on grasses
greater than 2 inches. The tank mix must be used with a crop oil concentrate.
See tank mix table in the appendix for additional information related to tank mix partners
Under certain conditions, the mixture of Fusion with one or more of the above-
mentioned broadleaf herbicides may cause a reduction in grass activity.
For sequential applications, allow 2 to 3 days after the application of Fusion before
applying a broadleaf herbicide or mixture. In case the broadleaf herbicide or mixture is
applied first, apply Fusion when the grass weeds begin to develop new leaves
(generally around 7 days).
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer (28% UAN or similar) may be added to the spray mixture up to
4 gallons per 100 gallons (4% v/v). Dry nitrogen fertilizer (ammonium sulfate) may be
added up to 4 lbs. product per acre. Liquid and dry nitrogen fertilizers must not be used
as a substitute for crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant in the spray mixture.
Always read and follow the application directions, restrictions and limitations for all
products whether used alone or in a tank mix. The most restrictive labeling of any
product used applies in tank mixtures.
Note: Tank mix applications sometimes have resulted in reduced grass weed control
and possible increases in crop injury as compared to the products used alone. If grass
regrowth occurs following an application of the tank mix or an additional flush of grasses
emerge, make a second application of Fusion Herbicide to actively growing grass
weeds, as per the label specifications. When perennial grasses are the predominant
grass to be controlled, a sequential application is advised. Follow the directions for
sequential applications of Fusion Herbicide and the appropriate broadleaf herbicide.
Glyphosate-Resistant Soybeans (including Roundup Ready Soybeans) Tank Mix
Fusion Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate products (including Touchdown or
Roundup brands) for control of volunteer corn including volunteer glyphosate-resistant
corn in glyphosate-resistant soybeans (including Roundup Ready soybeans). Apply
Fusion Herbicide at 4-6 fl. oz./A. Use the 4 fl. oz./A rate only under the following
conditions:
-21-
• Application under favorable soil moisture and humidity conditions which normally
occur within a few days after rainfall or irrigation.
• Avoid extreme air temperatures.
• Application when volunteer corn is less than 12 inches tall.
• Application with 0.25% v/v crop oil concentrate (COC). This COC is in addition to
the additives required by the glyphosate product.
Use the higher rate if the above conditions do not exist.
Application of this tank mix on soybean varieties that have not been genetically modified
to resist glyphosate-based products will result in severe injury or plant death.
Refer to Rate Conversion Table in the appendix for additional information
TANK MIX AND SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR COTTON
Tank mixes with other herbicides labeled for use in cotton are not advised unless
specified on this label or other supplemental labeling.
It is the pesticide users 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.
Glyphosate-Resistant Cotton (including Roundup Ready Cotton) Tank Mix
Fusion Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate products (including Touchdown or
Roundup brands) for control of volunteer corn including volunteer glyphosate-resistant
corn in glyphosate-resistant cotton (including Roundup Ready cotton). Apply Fusion
Herbicide at 4-6 fl. oz./A. Use the 4 fl. oz./A rate only under the following conditions:
• Application under favorable soil moisture and humidity conditions which normally
occur within a few days after rainfall or irrigation.
• Avoid extreme air temperatures.
• Application when volunteer corn is less than 12 inches tall.
• Application with 0.25% v/v crop oil concentrate (COC). This COC is in addition to
the additives required by the glyphosate product.
Use the higher rate if the above conditions do not exist.
Application of this tank mix on cotton varieties that have not been genetically modified to
resist glyphosate-based products will result in severe injury or plant death.
Sequential Applications
-22-
Fusion Herbicide can be used sequentially with other labeled cotton herbicides. For
sequential applications, allow 2 to 3 days after the application of Fusion Herbicide
before applying a broadleaf herbicide or mixture. In situations where the broadleaf
herbicide or mixture is applied first, apply Fusion Herbicide when the grass weeds begin
to develop new leaves (generally around 7 days).
Cotton Tank Mix and Sequential Use Precautions
• Always read and follow the directions, restrictions and limitations for all products
whether used alone, sequentially or in a tank mix. The most restrictive labeling of
any product used applies.
USE RESTRICTIONS FOR SOYBEANS AND COTTON

NOTES FOR ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL GRASS WEED CONTROL IN RIGHTS-OF-
WAY
1. Adequate soil moisture will enhance the performance of Fusion Herbicide.
Reduced control may occur with Fusion Herbicide applied under DROUGHT
STRESS conditions.
2. Rainfall within one hour following application may cause a reduction in grass
control.
3. Broadleaf herbicides containing 2,4-D may reduce the effectiveness of Fusion
Herbicide. Tank mixes with Telar®, Escort® or Garlon® are advised. Broadleaf
herbicides containing 2,4-D may be applied 5 days before or after a Fusion
Herbicide application.
4. Fusion Herbicide is a selective herbicide that controls grass weeds, and has little
or no activity on broadleaf plants or sedges.
5. Applications to bermudagrass may result in temporary injury. Bermudagrass
must be well established at the time of application or severe injury may result.
