NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Refer to the booklet 'Paraquat Poisoning. A Practical Guide to Diagnosis, First Aid and Hospital
Treatment'. (http://www.syngenta.com/pqmedguideJ) Administer either activated charcoal (100g
for adults or 2g/kg body weight in children) or Fuller'S Earth (15% solution; 1 liter for adults or
15ml/kg body weight in children). NOTE: The use of gastric lavage without administration of an
adsorbent has not shown any clinical benefit. Do not use supplemental oxygen. Eye spashes from
concentrated material should be treated by an eye specialist after initial treatment. With the pos-
sibility of late onset corneal ulceration, it is advised that patients with paraquat eye injuries are
reviewed by an eye specialist the day after first presentation. Use treatment that is appropriate
for chemical burns. Intact skin is an effective barrier to paraquat, however contact with irritated
or cut skin or repeated contact with intact skin may result in poisoning.
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor,
or going for treatment.

Gramoxone® Max
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
When Gramoxone Max is applied at less than 10 gallons per acre finished spray volume, a drift
control or spray deposition additive SHOULD be used. Refer to the additive label for use directions.
Spray Drift Information
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. 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 appli­
cations, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 314 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°.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial
Drift Reduction Advisory Information.
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
(This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.)
Information on 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
Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types
lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream
produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant
deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
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. Solid stream
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.
Boom Length
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor
length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants
unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making application at the lowest height that is
safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, 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 is lowest between wlnd speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet
size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be
avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and
dry.
Gramoxone® Max
Temperature Inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable
winds (ommon during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing tempera­
tures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They
begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated
by ground fog; however, it 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.
Sensitive Areas
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., res­
idential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target
crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
GENERAL INFORMA110N
Gramoxone Max is a contact herbicide used to control or suppress a broad spectrum of emerged
weeds. Gramoxone Max controls most small annual weeds - both broadleaves and grasses, and
suppresses perennial weeds by destroying green foliage. Gramoxone Max can also be used as a
desiccant/defoliant at harvest.
Gramoxone Max is formulated as a liquid which contains 3 Ibs. of active ingredient per gallon. The
formulation contains a nontoxic odor and an emetic (an agent which will induce vomiting if the prod­
uct is swallowed). The odor is included in the formulation to help prevent accidental ingestion of
Gramoxone Max.
Gramoxone Max is rap'ldly absorbed by green plant tissue and interacts with the photosynthetic
process to produce superoxides which destroy the plant cells. Gramoxone Max requires actively grow­
ing green plant tissue to function. Thorough coverage of all green foliage is essential for effective
weed control and for effective crop desiccation/defoliation. Gramoxone Max is not as effective on
drought-stressed weeds, weeds with little green foliage (Le., mowed or cut weeds), or mature woody
bark of trees and vines.
Clay and organic matter rapidly tie up Gramoxone Max. As a· result, Gramoxone Max has no residual
soil activity to affect later-planted crops or later germinating weeds.
ROTATIONAL CROPS
All rotational crops may be planted immediately after the last appJjcation of Gramoxone Max.
RAINFASTNESS
Because Gramoxone Max is rapidly absorbed by the weed foliage, rain occurring 30 minutes or more
after application will have no effect on the activity of Gramoxone Max.
APPLICATION
Since Gramoxone Max is a contact-type herbicide, it is essential to obtain complete coverage of target
weeds to get good control. Improper application technique andior application to large, stressed, or
mown weeds will usually result in unacceptable weed control and unacceptable crop desiccationl
defoliation. Complete coverage is also essential for good crop desiccation/defoliation. See details
below for specific application instructions.
USE OF A NON IONIC SURFACTANT OR CROP OIL CONCENTRATE
Always add one of the following (Failure to use one of the following at recommended rates will result
in reduced performance of Gramoxone Max.)
Nonionic Surfactant: Add non ionic surfactant containing 75% or more surface-active agent at 0.125%
vlv (1 pt.l1 00 gals.), OR add a non ionic surfactant containing 50~74% surface-active agent at 0.25% v/v
(2 pts.ll00 gals.), of the finished spray volume for ground applications. For aerial applications, add a
nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (2 pts./l00 gals.) of the finished spray volume.
Crop Oil Concentrate: Add a nonphytotoxic crop oil concentrate containing 15-20% approved emul­
sifier, at 1.0% v/v (1 gaL/lOa gals.) of the finished spray volume for ground applications. For aerial
applications, add 1 pt. of crop oil concentrate per acre. Do not use crop oil concentrate when using
Gramoxone Max for cotton harvest aid.
NOZZLE SELECTION
The use of flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Gramoxone Max. Flood
nozzles are generally not as good as flat fans since they produce large uneven droplets. The use of
flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage.
Gramoxone® Max
WHEN SPRAYING LESS THAN 20 GALLONS OF SPRAY CARRIER PER ACRE, USE ONLY FLAT FAN
NOZZLES AS RECOMMENDED IN THE CHART BELOW.

SPRAY CARRIER
Always use clean water (free of mud or clay). dear liquid nitrogen, or complete clear liquid fertilizers
as the carrier when spraying Gramoxone Max. Muddy water, or suspension-type fertilizers containing
clay, can inactivate Gramoxone Max. Never use suspension-type fertilizers containing clay as the spray
carrier. If using a complete clear liquid fertilizer containing high phosphate levels as the spray carrier,
always use the higher rate of Gramoxone Max and surfactant.
Note: When using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier, it is important that non ionic sur­
factant still be used with Gramoxone Max. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant.
RATES OF GRAMOXONE MAX
Follow recommended rates listed with each use of Gramoxone Max. Use the higher label rates when
weeds are dense or large. Also. use higher label rates for harvest aid when crop vegetation is dense.
For broadcast applications of Gramoxone Max with backpack sprayers, the application rate should not
exceed 0.50 Ibs. a.i./A in a minimum of 30 gallons of spray solution per acre.
SPRAY VOLUME
Follow recommended minimum spray volumes listed with each use of Gramoxone Max. These are
minimum volumes only. and spray volumes should be increased as necessary to obtain complete
coverage of the target weed or plant without runoff from the fol'lage.
WHEN SPRAYING LESS THAN 20 GALLONS OF SPRAY CARRIER PER ACRE, TARGET WEEDS SHOULD NOT
EXCEED 6 INCHES IN HEIGHT.
APPLICATION TIMING
Gramoxone Max should be applied to emerged weeds when they are small. Weeds 1-6 inches in
height are the easiest to control. Larger weeds may be more difficult to controL When weeds have
been grazed or mowed, thus removing much of the green. fOliage, allow the weeds to regrow to a
height of 2-4 inches before spraying if possible. Similarly. when forage or grain crops have been har­
vested prior to spraying, weeds present in the field will also have been cut. To allow for adequate
green foliage to remain on weeds in this situation. raise cutter bars as high as possible from the
ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height.
BURN DOWN OF GRASS COVER CROPS OR VOLUNTEER CEREALS
When using Gramoxone Max for control of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, best results are
obtained when Gramoxone Max is applied prior to tillering or after boot stage. This is especially
important with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheat. Treatments made between tillering and boot
stage will generally not provide complete control. Do not expect complete control of perennial cover
crops.
Gramoxone® Max
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Gramoxone Max is active over a wide range of environmental conditions. Cool weather (below 55°)
will slow the activity of Gramoxone Max, as will cloudy, overcast weather, but will not affect
performance.
SPOT SPRAYING
When only small areas are to be sprayed with labeled applications, it is advantageous to mix small
quantities of Gramoxone Max. To aid in mixing small quantities, the following table should be
consulted.
If The Broadcast Rate Per Acre for
Gramoxone Max is:
Add The Following Amount of Gramoxone
Max to 1 Gallon of Water
1'/2 pts.
2 pts.
21/2 pts.
3 pts.
'/3 fl. oz.
3/a flo oz.
'/2 fl. OZ.
2/3 fl. OZ.
Always add 1/3_1/2 fl. oz. of a nonionic surfactant for each gallon of spray. When spot spraying in this
manner, spray to thoroughly wet the foliage, but not to the point of runoff.
TANK MIXING FOR IMPROVED BURN DOWN OF DIFFICULT WEEDS AND RESIDUAL WEED
CONTROL
Photosynthetic Inhibitor Herbicides
Difficult weeds can often be controlleo by tank mixing Gramoxone Max with other herbicides. The
addition of herbicides which are also photosynthetic inhibitors (PSI) will slow the activity of
Gramoxone Max, allowing Gramoxone Max to thoroughly distribute itself within the treated leaf. The
resulting level of control is usually greater than if Gramoxone Max was applied alone.
Gramoxone Max may be applied in tank mixture with the following PSI herbicides:
AAtrex® Herbicide
Atrazine Herbicide
Bicep MAGNUM® Herbicide
Bicep Lite II MAGNUM® Herbicide
Canopy® Herbicide
Lariat® Herbicide
Lexone® Herbicide
Linex® Herbicide
Lorox® Herbicides
Lorox Plus™ Herbicide
Princep® Herbicide
Sencor0 Herbicides
Refer to respective product label(s) for rates of application, directions for use, limitations, cautions
and for a list of weeds controlled.
Improved Weed Control With PSI's
Control of difficult weeds listed below and annual grass control will be enhanced by the addition of
a PSI herbicide. For best results a second application is needed.

2,4-D ester (Low Volatile), 2,4-DB or Banvel® herbicide, where labeled, will help improve control. Tank
mixing the amine formulation of 2,4-D with Gramoxone Max may result in reduced grass controL
Order of Tank Mixing
In general, Gramoxone Max tank mixes with other products should be mixed as follows:
1. Fill spray tank '/2 full with clean water or other approved carriers such as dear liquid fertilizer.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
3. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank.
4. Add liquid formulations (Se, Ee, L, etc.) to tank.
5. Add Gramoxone Max to tank.
6. Add non ionic surfactant to tank.
7. Fill remainder of spray tank.
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may
differ from those outlined here.
Since many of the herbicides listed on this label are available in several types of formulations, it is
advisable to perform a jar test to check physical compatibility.
Gramoxone® Max
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
EQUIPMENT/CONTAINER
Flush all spray equipment with water after use each day. Gramoxone Max is corrosive to aluminum
Aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures that are exposed to spray solution or
spray drift should be flushed thoroughly with water immediately after use,
In dry areas, dust stirred up by high winds or equipment tires can coat weed or plant leaves and
reduce Gramoxone Max activity. Avoid applying Gramoxone Max in extremely dusty conditions
LIMITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• For Cotton Harvest Aid: Do not pasture livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage.
00 NOT use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or playgrounds,
In preplant and preemergence (to the crop) uses, do not apply to soils lack'ing clay minerals, i.e.,
peat. muck, pure sand, artificial planting media.
Seedbeds and plantbeds should be formed as far ahead of planting and treatment as possible to
permit maximum weed and g'rass emergence prior to treatment.
Seeding or transplanting should be done with a minimum amount of soil disturbance.
Gramoxone Max used for preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch may damage trans­
plants which come in contact with the plastic. Sufficient rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to cause
wash-off prior to planting may be needed to prevent damage to the crop.
Weeds and grasses emerging after application of Gramoxone Max will not be controlled or sup­
pressed.
Unless otherwise indicated, crop plants emerged at time of application may be severely injured or
killed if contacted by sprays of Gramoxone Max.

RESIN SOAKING
Pines (loblolly, Shortleaf, longleaf, Slash, Virginia. Pond, Pitch, and Spruce Pines).
Tree Selection - Select trees to be treated from stands on sites not subject to periods of extreme drought stress
as the desiccating effect of Gramoxone Max to pines is accentuated during such periods, causing a reduction in
the amount of oleoresin deposited in the xylem. Select trees to be treated from vigorous, nonstagnated stands,
either natural or planted. In stagnated stands or commercial timber stands, plan treating with Gramoxone Max
not sooner than three years after a commercial thinning.
Application Directions - Apply Gramoxone Max diluted in water to a suitable wound in the tree trunk to bring
the treatment into contact with the xylem (sapwood).
Bark Streaks or Cuts: This type of wound is made using a standard or rotary bark hack or a chainsaw chipping tool
employed in naval stores work to remove a single 1·inch wide streak of bark about 1·2 ft. from ground level. The
total length should not exceed \/1 of the tree circumference. Multiple streaks or cuts can result in serious girdling of
the trunk and premature death of the tree. A coarse spray (about 1.7·5.0 mi.) Gramoxone Max solution (1·5% cation,
wt.lvvt. basis) should be applied to runoff to the exposed xylem, using a low·pressure sprayer. The amount of spray
required per cut depends on tree circumference and the length of cut or streak (1/3 of circumference). For a 9·inch
diameter tree, 3 mI. of spray will cover the 1·inch wide streak. Using 3 mi. of a 2 or 4% Gramoxone Max solution will
result in application of 60 or 120 mg. Gramoxone Max per streak.
Time of Treatment: Resin soaking can occur from treatments made any time of the year; however, cool season
treatments under nondrought conditions usually result in less severe pine beetle infestations and longer tree
life.
Interval Between Treatment and Tree Harvest: The interval between application of Gramoxone Max and tree
harvest should be a minimum of 6 months and preferably from 12·24 months. Intervals of over 6 months may
not be possible under conditions of drought or serious pine beetle attacks, which may make early harvest nec­
essary. The Gramoxone Max treatment may encourage beetle attack, or may cause premature death of the tree.
Desiccation of the xylem tissue, rather than the desired resin soaking, may occur, and is more likely at higher
dosage rates.
Effect on Stem Growth: Gramoxone Max treatment can result in reduced stem growth during the interval
between treatment and tree harvest.
