2.3.2 Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater or through ground
spray drift. This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. 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 weeks or
months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to
which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs
will reduce the potential loading of S-metolachlor from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of
this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to
occur within 48 hours.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Sequence Herbicide is a foliar systemic herbicide which may be applied to control a broad
spectrum of actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds of 6 inches or less in height are
typically the easiest to control. It will also provide residual control of many grass and small
seeded broadleaf weeds, in:
x Corn (preplant/preemergence to all corn, postemergence to glyphosate resistant corn)
x Cotton (preplant/preemergence to all cotton, postemergence to glyphosate resistant
cotton)
x Legume vegetables -- succulent or dried (preplant and preemergence)
x Peanut (preplant and preemergence)
x Sorghum (preplant and preemergence)
x Soybean, (preplant/preemergence to all soyb eans; postemergence to glyphosate resistant
soybeans)
x Sugar beet, (postemergence to glyphosate-resistant sugar beet)
x Sunflower (preplant and preemergence)
x Tomato transplanted (preplant)
This product needs to be activated with either rainfall or irrigation to provide residual control
of certain weeds. If rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 days after application, residual
weed control may be reduced. Under these conditions, cultivate or use other weed control
measures if weeds develop.
This product is especially useful in no-till, minimum-tillage, and reduced-tillage cropping
systems.
Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of this product to any vegetation
(including leaves, green stems, exposed non-woody roots, or fruit) of crops, trees, and other
desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as specified for glyphosate
resistant crops. Drift may cause damage to any non-target vegetation.

3.1 Weed Resistance Management
GLYPHOSATE GROUP 9 HERBICIDE
S-METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
Sequence Herbicide contains glyphosate which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate
synthase (EPSPS, Site of Action Group 9) and S-metolachlor which inhibits very long chain
fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis (Site of Action Group 15). Some naturally occurring weed
populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 and/or Group 15 herbicides.
Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides or lower than
labeled use rates in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype
may be present where poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental
conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local
Syngenta representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance.
3.1.1 Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed 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 ut ilizing 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.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 11
Do not overuse the technology
• Do not use more than two applications of th is 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.
Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the fi eld by controlling weeds in field borders.
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected herbicide resistant weeds ma y be identified by these indicators
o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
o A spreading patch of non-controlled plan ts of a particular weed species; and
o Surviving plants mixed with controll ed 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
x 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.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
Applications with Sequence Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground and
by air. Preplant, preemergence and postemergence applications are allowed as specified in
Section 9.0 unless otherwise restricted in Section 7.0.
For aerial application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional
requirements for aerial treatments.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 12
4.2 Application Equipment
x For best results, ensure that each specific aerial application vehicle used is quantifiably
pattern tested for aerial application of Sequence Herbicide initially and every year
thereafter.
x Configure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area and
minimize potential for spray drift.
x To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer be fore each use. For information on spray
equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment manufacturers and/or state
recommendations.
x Use sprayers that provide accurate and un iform application with nozzles designed to
minimize drift and provide uniform coverage. For most effective control, select nozzles
and pressures to deliver coarse to very coarse droplets. Flood nozzles may result in
reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage.
x Avoid using screens and strainers finer than 50 mesh.
x All ground and aerial application equipment must be properly maintained.
x All equipment must be washed to remove product residues after use.
x Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and
possible failure of the part.
In addition to the above statements, for aerial application equipment:
x The maintenance of an organic coating (pa int) which meets aerospace specification MIL-
C-38413 may prevent corrosion.
x To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thorou ghly wash aircraft after each day of spraying
to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills.
x Landing gear are most susceptible to corrosion.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
x For ground application, apply alone or in ta nk mixtures in 10-40 gal/A of spray mixture
unless otherwise specified.
x When weed vegetation is dense, increas e spray volume and pressures to ensure
coverage of the target weeds.
x Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target weeds.
x For aerial application, apply alone or in tank mixtures in 3-15 gal/A of spray mixture.
4.4 Mixing Directions
1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning
solution in a responsible manner.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.
3. Avoid using screens and strainers finer than 50 mesh.
4. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly foll owing each use and apply the rinsate to a
previously treated area.
7. Pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate that cannot be used according to label instructions
must be disposed of according to federal, state, or local procedures. For guidance in
Sequence Herbicide
Page 13
proper disposal methods, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency,
or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office.
4.4.1 Sequence Herbicide Alone
1. Fill the spray tank ½ full with clean water.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
3. Add AMS (if used).
4. Add Sequence Herbicide.
5. Fill the remainder of spray tank.
4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions
x It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
x Tank mixes with other pesticides, fertilize rs, or any other additives not specifically labeled
for use with Sequence Herbicide may result in tank-mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory
performance. In such cases, always check tank-mix compatibility by conducting a jar test
according to guidance in Section 4.4.3 before actual tank mixing.
4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility Test
x Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt contai ner with lid by adding water or other intended
carrier such a liquid fertilizer to the jar.
x Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticide s(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative
proportions based on recommended label rates. Add tank-mix components separately in
the order described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake
or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
x After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10
times to mix.
x After mixing, let the mixture stand 15 30 minutes and then examine for signs of
incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily
film on the jar.
x If the mixture remains mixed or can be remix ed readily, it is physically compatible and can
be used.
x If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the
recommended rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the
jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use the

6.0 COVER CROPS
A cover crop can be an important tool for the overall farm cropping system. Cover crops are
planted for conservation purposes, soil erosion control, soil health improvement, water quality
improvement and weed management. A cover crop can be a single crop or a combination of
crops, including grasses and/or broadleaf crops.
After harvest of a Sequence Herbicide treated crop, planting of a cover crop is allowed
provided the cover crop is not grazed or fed to livestock nor harvested for food. Terminate
the cover crop through natural causes such as frost or intentional termination by herbicide
application, crimping, rolling, tillage or cutting.
All possible cover crops or cover crop combinations have not been tested for tolerance to this
product. Before planting the cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended
cover crops by conducting a field bioassay. Refer to Section 6.1 for instructions on how to
conduct a field bioassay.
6.1 Field Bioassay for Cover Crops
A field bioassay is a method of determining if herbicide residues are present in the soil at
concentrations high enough to adversely affect crop growth.
Conduct the field bioassay by planting several strips of the desired cover crop across the field
which has been previously treated with Sequence Herbicide. Plant the cover crop strips
perpendicular to the direction of the product application. Locate the strips so that all the
different field conditions are encountered, including differences in field terrain, soil texture,
organic matter, pH, and drainage.
If the cover crop does not show adverse effects such as crop injury and/or stand reduction,
the field can be planted to this cover crop. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, wait
two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay.
Alternatively, select a different cover crop and repeat the bioassay. Only plant cover crops
that show acceptable tolerance in the field bioassay.
7.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
7.1 Use Restrictions
x DO NOT sell, use or distribute this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in the State of
New York.
x DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
x DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed may
cause spray to drift onto adjacent non-target areas.
x DO NOT apply in conditions where excessive spray drift may occur.
x If a cover crop is planted after a Sequence Herbicide treated crop, DO NOT graze or feed
the cover crop to livestock nor harvest for food.
x DO NOT apply to any body of water.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 16
x DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this
product to non-target areas.
7.2 Use Precautions
x Use of a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials may result in crop
damage or clogging of the application device.
x Sequence Herbicide requires actively growing green plant tissue to function fully.
Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e. mowed, cut,
or hailed on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases
may result in reduced weed control.
x Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on
perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following
treatment may slow activity.
x Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment.
x Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control.
x Avoid aerial application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained.
x Avoid making applications under windy conditions.
x Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result.
x Before planting a cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended cover crop
to Sequence Herbicide by conducting a field bioassay (Section 6.1).
x Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner after each
use.
x Mix, store and apply spray solutions of Sequ ence Herbicide using only plastic, plastic-
lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Do not store the concentrate in
galvanized steel, aluminum, carbon steel, or unlined steel containers.
x Avoid application to humans or animals. Ensure that flagmen and loaders avoid
inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
x To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
o Avoid treating powdery dry or light sa nd soils when conditions are favorable for
wind erosion. Under these conditions, ensure that the soil surface is first settled
by rainfall or irrigation.
o Avoid application to impervious substrat es, such as paved or highly compacted
surfaces.
o Avoid use of use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields
to treat nontarget crops, unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between
application and the first irrigation.
x Follow labeled rates for target weeds found in Section 8.1 Section 8.3 to avoid crop
injury and illegal residues or weed control failures.
7.3 MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
x AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
x The interaction of many equipment- and we ather-related factors determines the potential
for spray drift.
x The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of equipment and weather-
Sequence Herbicide
Page 17
related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive non-target plants is
minimal.
x This pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas
(e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, non-target plants) is minimal (i.e., when the wind
is blowing away from the sensitive area).
x Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding or
minimizing spray drift.
7.3.1 Aerial Spray Drift Management
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications
x 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.
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
x If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed 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 wind
speed 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.
7.3.2 Ground Boom Applications
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Ground Boom Applications
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets (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.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 18
7.3.3 Boomless Ground Application
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Boomless Ground Application
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all applications.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.4 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SIRES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
7.4.1 Importance of Droplet Size
x An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets
that provide target pest control.
x While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drif t, the potential, for drift will be greater if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
7.4.2 Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
x Volume Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce
spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray
volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
x Pressure Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the
target spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzles Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application.
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
7.4.3 Boomless Ground Application
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help reduce the potential for spray drift.
7.4.4 Handheld Technology Applications
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
7.4.5 Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
x 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.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 19
7.4.6 BOOMHEIGHT Ground Boom
x For ground equipment, the boom should re main level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
7.4.7 RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
7.4.8 SHIELDED SPRAYERS
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles ca n 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.
7.4.9 Swath Adjustment
x When applications are made with a crossw ind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
Therefore, on the up- and downwind edges of the field, compensate for this displacement
by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Increase swath adjustment distance with
increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
7.4.10 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
x When making applications in hot and dry cond itions, use larger droplets to reduce effects
of evaporation.
7.4.11 Temperature Inversions
x Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high during a
temperature inversion. 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 common during inversions.
Temperature inversion 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 upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
x Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures 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.
x 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.
7.4.12 Wind
x Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS SURING
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Sequence Herbicide
Page 20
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wi nd patterns and terrain that could affect spray
drift.
7.4.13 Sensitive Areas
x Apply Sequence Herbicide only when the pot ential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas
(e.g., residential 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).
