PRODUCT INFORMATION
Pulsar Herbicide is a postemergence, systemic herbicide for the control of broadleaf
weeds in all varieties of spring wheat (including durum), winter wheat, and barley.
The active ingredients in Pulsar Herbicide are readily absorbed by leaves and stems
and translocate systemically in target weeds, accumulating in areas of active growth.
Pulsar Herbicide controls weeds by interfering with the plant's growth hormones
(auxins) causing the disruption of normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include
~twfs1ing~a7id^wling^^
chlorosis (yellowing), growth inhibition and eventual plant death. Level and rate of
control depend on weed species, growing conditions, crop competition, and coverage.
Thorough spray coverage of target weeds is essential for consistent control.
Restrictions and Precautions
• Do not apply on or near desirable trees or plants or in locations where chemical may
be washed into contact with their roots.
• Do not apply adjacent to sensitive crops when the temperature on the day of
application is expected to exceed 85°F as drift is more likely to occur.
• Do not spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed
may cause spray to drift onto adjacent nontarget areas. Drift minimization is the
responsibility of the applicator. Consult with local and State agricultural authorities
for information on avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
• Avoid overlapping spray swath as crop injury may occur.
• Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph.
• To avoid subsequent injury to other crops, thoroughly clean application equipment
immediately after spraying. Ensure that all traces of the product are removed. See
section on cleaning spray equipment.
Pulsar Herbicide
Page 7
• Do not use if wheat or barley is underseeded with a legume.
Management of Resistant Weeds
Pulsar Herbicide contains Group 4 (synthetic auxins) herbicides. Some naturally
occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 4 herbicides.
Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides in the same
field, may result in control failures. A resistant biotype may be present if poor
performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application
methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta representative for
assistance.
The following practices will'delay selection for resistant populations of weeds:
• Apply postemergence herbicides to small, actively growing weeds.
• Ensure that good spray coverage is achieved with proper spray volumes and
calibrated equipment.
• Use the full label rate of product.
• Avoid tank mixes that may cause antagonism and reduced weed control.
• Where possible, avoid the repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action
(i.e., same group number) in successive seasons either in cereal crops or rotational
crops.
• Use a diverse crop/fallow rotation to extend the range of available herbicides and
agronomic practices.
• Use cultivation, fertilizer regimens, seeding rates and row widths that enhance crop
competitiveness.
• Prevent weed escapes from producing seed either in the crop or during fallow
periods.

*Spring-seeded barley varieties that are seeded during the winter months or later, follow
the application timing given for spring-seeded barley.
**Early developing wheat varieties such as TAM 107, Madison and Wakefield must
receive application between early tillering and prior to the jointing stage.
Precaution: Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by conditions such as frost, low
fertility, drought, flooding, disease damage, or insect damage as crop injury may result.
For optimum results, apply Pulsar Herbicide to actively growing weeds. An early .
application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weed control ,
following application of Pulsar alone or in combination with other herbicides can be
reduced or delayed under conditions of stress such as drought, heat, insufficient fertility,
flooding, and prolonged cool temperatures. Optimum weed control will be obtained if
application of Pulsar Herbicide is delayed until the conditions of stress have ended and
weeds are once again actively growing. Weeds emerging after Pulsar Herbicide
application will not be controlled.
Rainfastness
Rain or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after application may reduce the efficacy of
Pulsar Herbicide.

GROUND AND AERIAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES
For best accuracy, calibrate the sprayer before use.
Ground Applications
Water Volume - Use a minimum of 8 gallons of water per acre.
r
Spray Nozzles - 80° or 110° flat fan nozzles are recommended for optimum spray
coverage. Nozzles must be uniformly spaced along the boom to provide accurate and
uniform coverage. Point the nozzles forward in the direction of travel at an angle of 45°
for optimum coverage of weeds. Follow the nozzle manufacturer's recommendations
for pressure and screens. Do not use flood or hollow cone type nozzles.
Screens - Use a screen or strainer with 16-mesh or coarser on the suction side of the
pump. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line unless using a roller or piston
pump. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom and at the
nozzles.
Pressure - 35-40 psi at the nozzles. Lower pressure may be used with extended range
or low pressure nozzles.
Pump - Must have capacity to maintain pressure (35-40 psi) and to maintain the
product suspension through tank agitation. A centrifugal pump is recommended with an
agitation rate of 20 gal/minute/100 gal tank size. Agitation must be maintained during
mixing and spraying. ,
Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control
results. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure that
the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid large spray overlaps which result in excessive rates in
the overlap areas. Also, avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage
cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. To reduce spray drift, do
not apply under windy conditions. Allow adequate distance between target area and
desirable vegetation to prevent drift to nontarget areas. Boom height for broadcast
over-the-top application should be based upon the free-standing height of the crop, not
height above the soil surface, and should be at least 12 inches above the crop.
Aerial Applications
Apply Pulsar Herbicide in water using a minimum spray volume of 3 gal/A. Avoid
application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where
excessive spray drift may occur. Make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft above
the crop with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi and wind speed not
exceeding 10 mph to help assure accurate application within the target area.
Pulsar Herbicide
Page 10
Drift Management
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the
grower. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the
potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of
equipment and related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive non-target
plants is minimal.
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 outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the
length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be
pointed downward more than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must 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
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.
Pulsar Herbicide
Page 11
• 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 % 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 ft above the top of the
largest plants, unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications
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 wind 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.
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
r r v Pulsar Herbicide
Page 12
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. 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. 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.
Sensitive Areas
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.)
Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) of Pulsar Herbicide with crops
other than those specified for treatment on this label since injury may occur.
Chemigation
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Nonionic surfactant (NIS) may be added to the spray mixture. Use NIS containing at
least 80% active ingredient at 0.125-0.25% v/v (1-2 pints/100 gallons) of finished spray
volume. Use of NIS can improve control under less than optimum environmental
conditions such as dry growing conditions, low relative humidity or cool temperatures.
Npte: When Pulsar Herbicide is tank mixed with herbicides that have a built-in
adjuvant, no additional NIS is recommended.
USE RATE
Apply Pulsar Herbicide at 8.3-12.5 fl oz/A.

MIXING PROCEDURES
Prior to using Pulsar Herbicide, ensure that the spray tank, lines and screens and filters
are thoroughly clean.
i
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill the spray tank with 1/4 to % the required amount of water and begin agitation.
2. Add dry pesticide formulations (WP, DF, etc.).
3. Add liquid pesticide formulations (EC, SC, SL, etc.).
4. Add Pulsar Herbicide.
5. Add nonionic surfactant (if used).
6. Add the remaining water and maintain agitation throughout the spray operation.
7. The tank mixture should be sprayed out as soon as it is prepared.
Be sure to allow each tank-mix component to fully disperse before adding the next.
Tank-Mix Compatibility Test
Ajar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Pulsar
Herbicide with mixture partners. Add proportion amounts of tank mixture components in
a clear quart jar one at a time in the recommended mixing order. Gently shake or invert
capped jar and let stand for 15-30 minutes. If the mixture clumps, forms flakes, oily
films or layers or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mixture should not
be used.
PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after spraying. To avoid
subsequent injury to other crops, immediately after spraying and before spraying other
crops, thoroughly remove all traces of Pulsar Herbicide from mixing and spraying
equipment. The following recommendations are provided:
1. Drain and flush tank walls, boom and all hoses for ten minutes with a clean
, water/strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner mixture. Rinse with clean
water. Do not clean the sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water
sources.
2. Remove all nozzles and screens and wash separately.
