WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
Carnivore Herbicide contains both Group 4 herbicides (MCPA and Fluroxypyr) and a Group 6 herbicide (Bromoxynil). Any 
weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 and/or Group 6 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may 
dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed. 
 
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides, within a growing season sequence or 
among growing seasons, with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. 
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in 
target weed species is available use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) 
equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if 
you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. 
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical 
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control 
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the 
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. 
x Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the 
intended application will be effective. 
x Scout fields after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. 
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: 
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 plants of a particular weed species. 
o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. 
If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a 
different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to 
other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed. 
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, 
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. 
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for 
pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and 
resistant weed biotypes. 
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative . 
 
USE PRECAUTIONS 
x Do not allow spray drift to come in contact with or apply this product directly to susceptible broadleaf plants or 
broadleaf crops, including but not limited to the following: alfalfa, canola, cotton, edible beans, grapes, lentils, lettuce, 
mustard, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco or tomatoes. 
 
USE RESTRICTIONS 
x Do not apply more than 2.4 pints of this product per acre per year. 
x Handlers must use closed mixing loading systems during mixing/loading liquids for aerial applications to fallowland 
and to high-acreage field crops including barley, oats and wheat. 
x When applying this product, do not contaminate water used for domestic purposes or irrigation ditches.

or federally approved supplemental labeling. 
x Aerial application to fallowland is prohibited within 25 feet of residential areas (e.g., homes, schools, playgrounds, 
shopping areas, hospitals, etc.). 
x Holding time restriction : This product is persistent and may be present in plant materials for over 30 days after 
application. Do not use treated plant material or manure from animals that have grazed or consumed forage from 
treated areas for compost, mulch, or mushroom spawn until 30 days after application. 
x Livestock cleanout period : Animals that have been fed fluroxypyr treated forage must be fed forage free of 
fluroxypyr for at least 3 days before they are moved off the treated property.

5 
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 nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE 
S572). 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
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 must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572 
and S641) for all applications. 
x The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan 
 or 90% of the rotor diameter 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE 
 S572) for all applications. 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES 
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FO R AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-
TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. 
 
Importance of Droplet Size 
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. 
While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made 
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 
 
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 Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles 
designed to reduce drift. 
 
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. 
 
Boom Height – Ground Boom 
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 
 
Release Height - Aircraft 
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. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications 
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift .

6 
Handheld Technology Applications 
Take precautions to minimize spray drift. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS 
2.5 Gallon Containers 
Take special care when mixing and loading this product. Place hands on the container in such a way as to avoid possible 
drip or splash. 
30 Gallon and Bulk Containers 
If you will handle a total of 60 gallons or more of this product per day, you must use a mechanical transfer system for all 
mixing and loading operations. If this product is packed in a 30 gallon drum, you must use a mechanical transfer system 
which terminates in a drop-free hard coupling which may be used only with a spray or mix tank which has been fitted with 
a compatible coupling. If you do not presently own or have access to a mechanical transfer system with this type of 
coupling, contact your dealer for information on how to obtain such a system or to modify your present system. When 
using a mechanical transfer system, do not remove or disconnect the pump or probe from the container until the container 
has been emptied and rinsed. The pump or probe system must be used to rinse the empty container and to transfer the 
rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank. 
 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
This product may be applied in tank mixtures with additive products such as surfactants, adjuvants and drift control 
agents, and with most commonly used grass herbicides, at specified rates, as long as tank mixing is not prohibited by the 
label(s) of the tank mix partner and the tank mix partner products are labeled for the timing and method of application for 
the use site to be treated. Observe all restrictions and precautions that appear on the labels of those products. If 
compatibility with another product is not known, perform a small-scale (jar) test to determine compatibility (see instructions 
below). When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Chemical 
Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant. 
 
Note: When adding ingredients to the mixture, allow time for each ingredient to be thoroughly mixed before adding the 
next. Be sure to agitate spray mixture before use if allowed to stand after mixing. 
 
1. Fill spray tank with water equal to 1/2 to 3/4 of the required spray volume and start agitation. 
2. Add the recommended amount of this product. 
3. Add any grass herbicides, surfactants, adjuvants or drift control agents according to the respective manufacturer's 
instructions. 
4. Agitate during final filling of the spray tank with water and maintain sufficient agitation during application to ensure 
uniformity of the spray mixture. 
 
Tank Mix Compatibility (Jar) Test 
1) Mix the desired tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions in a clear glass quart jar with lid. 
2) Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. 
3) If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not
 
compatible and the tank mix combinations should not be used.

†Indicates Suppression Only - Suppression is a reduction in weed competition (reduction is population or vigor) as 
compared to untreated areas. The degree of weed control and duration of effect may vary with weed size, density, 
application rate, coverage, and growing conditions before, during and after treatment. 
 
1) Includes biotypes that are herbicide-resistant or tolerant. 
 
Weeds germinating after spraying will not be controlled. 
 
Management of Kochia Biotypes 
Research indicates many biotypes of kochia may occur within a single field and while kochia biotypes can vary in their 
susceptibility to this product, in general all biotypes will be suppressed or controlled at the labeled rate of 1 to 1-1/2 pint s 
per acre. A shift to more tolerant biotypes within a field may occur if this product is applied at rates lower than 
recommended. 
 
 Best Practices for Resistance Management 
 Extensive populations of dicamba-tolerant kochia have been identified in certain small grain and corn production 
 regions (such as Chouteau, Fergus, Liberty, Toole, and Treasure counties in the state of Montana). For optimal 
 control of dicamba-tolerant kochia in these counties, apply this product at the rate of 1-1/2 pints per acre. 
 
 To minimize selection pressure and preserve the utility of this product for control of dicamba-tolerant kochia biotypes, 
 this product should be rotated with products that do not contain dicamba. 
 
Application Timing 
Only weeds that have emerged at the time of application will be controlled so be sure to apply to actively growing weeds. 
Weed control may be reduced and the risk of crop injury (at all stages of growth) may increase if extreme growing 
conditions (such as drought or near-freezing temperatures) occur prior to, at, or following application. Control may be 
decreased if target plant foliage is wet at the time of application. Applications of this product are rainfast within 1 hour af ter 
application. 
 
Effect of Temperature on Herbicidal Activity 
The herbicidal activity of this product is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum herbicidal activity requires active plant 
growth and temperatures between 55°F to 75°F. Reduced efficacy will occur when temperatures are below 45°F or 
above 85°F. Weed control and crop tolerance may be reduced if frost occurs before or shortly after application (3 days). 
 
Spray Coverage 
Use sufficient spray volume to provide thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. For best results (and to minimize 
spray drift), apply in a spray volume of 8 gallons or more per acre by ground and 3 or more gallons of total spray volume 
per acre by air. Spray volume should be increased as weed density and vegetative canopy increase in order to obtain 
equivalent weed control; however, do not exceed 40 gallons per acre total spray volume. Rather than increasing boom 
pressure, decrease spraying speed or use larger nozzle tips to increase spray volume.

8 
 
Use only nozzle types and spray equipment designed for herbicide application. To reduce spray drift, be sure to follow the 
precautions under the heading, “Spray Drift Management”. 
 
Adjuvants 
To improve weed control, a high-quality adjuvant labeled for use on growing crops may be used. An adjuvant can 
optimize herbicidal activity when applications are made at lower carrier volumes, under conditions of cool temperature, 
low relative humidity or drought, or to small, heavily pubescent kochia. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, 
Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant. 
 
Spot Treatments 
Only apply using a calibrated boom sprayer using the directions below: 
Application rates in the table below are based on an area of 1,000 square feet. 
Mix the amount of this product (fluid ounces or ml) corresponding to the desired broadcast rate in one or more gallons of 
spray. To calculate the amount of this product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fluid ounces or ml) by 
the area to be treated in “thousands” of square feet. An area of 1,000 square feet is approximately 10.5 X 10.5 yards 
(strides) in size. 
For example: If the area to be treated is 3,500 square feet, multiply the table value by 3.5 (calc. 3,500 ÷ 1,000 + 3.5).

(Fluid Ounces (ml)) 
1 0.37 (11) 
1-1/2 0.55 (16.3) 
2 0.74 (22) 
 
Application Rates 
In general, the application rates at the lower end of the specified rate range will be efficacious when applied to susceptible 
weed species with young, succulent growth. Use the higher rates within the rate range when applying to less sensitive 
species, perennials, and under conditions where control is more difficult (e.g., when plants are stressed due to drought or 
extreme temperatures, in dense weed stands and/or the weeds are larger). Higher rates will also be needed to control or 
suppress weeds in areas where competition from crops is not present (e.g., fallowland). 
 
Sprayer Cleanup 
To avoid injury to desirable plants, before applying other chemicals with the equipment used to apply this product, all 
equipment must be thoroughly cleaned.

WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS 
Application Timing 
To control listed broadleaf weeds, apply as a postemergence broadcast treatment to actively growing wheat, barley or 
oats from the 2-leaf stage up to and including flag leaf emergence (Zadoks scale 39). Because only weeds that have 
emerged at the time application will be controlled, be sure to apply when weeds are actively growing but before weeds are 
8 inches tall or vining. 
 
For perennial weeds (such as Canada thistle), apply when the majority of the basal leaves have emerged from the soil up 
to bud stage to obtain season-long control. 
 
To suppress volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 4 inches tall.

Broadcast Application Rates 
For complete listing of weeds controlled or suppressed, refer to the “Broadleaf Weeds Controlled or Suppressed” section. 
 
For seedlings of susceptible species <4 inches tall: Apply 1 pint per acre. 
 
For seedlings of susceptible species 4 to 8 inches tall or vining: Apply 1-1/2 pints per acre. 
 
For volunteer potatoes: Apply 1-1/2 pints per acre. 
 
Note: Kochia seedlings less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes) will be controlled using the 1 pint per acre 
rate. However, when conditions for control are less favorable, such as under drought or cool temperature, a rate of 1-1/2 
pints per acre will provide more consistent control of kochia seedlings 1 to 4 inches tall. For more consistent control of 
small kochia, apply when the plants are at least 1 inch tall. A rate of 1-1/2 pints per acre should be used for optimal 
control of dicamba tolerant kochia populations (refer to the “Management of Kochia Biotypes” in the “Broadleaf Weeds 
Controlled or Suppressed” section above). 
 
Spot Applications 
Spot applications may be made using rates and spray volume equivalent to a broadcast application (refer to the “Spot 
Treatment” instructions in the “Application Information” section above). 
 
Application Restrictions 
x Do not harvest treated forage or allow livestock to graze treated areas within 45 days of application. 
x Do not apply more than 2.4 pints (38.4 fluid ounces) (0.5 lbs. MCPA acid, 0.5 lbs. Bromoxynil, 0.2 lbs. Fluroxypyr 
acid) of this product per acre per year. 
x Do not apply within 40 days prior to harvesting grain and straw or within 14 days prior to cutting hay. 
x The risk of crop injury at all stages of growth and poor weed control is increased if the application is 
made and extreme growing conditions (such as drought or near freezing temperatures) occur prior to, 
at, and following the application. Reduced weed control may also occur during these conditions. 
x Do not apply when crop canopy covers the weeds as poor control will result. 
 
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP) 
Application Timing 
Apply at a rate of 1 to 2 pints per acre, depending upon the susceptibility of the weed species. Apply to grasses from the 
3-leaf stage. Unless otherwise specified below, apply when broadleaf weeds are up to the 8-leaf stage, 4 inches in height 
or 2 inches in diameter, whichever comes first. 
 
Kochia seedlings less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes) will be controlled using the 1 pint per acre rate. 
However, when conditions for control are less favorable, such as under drought or cool temperature, a rate of 1-1/2 pints 
per acre will provide more consistent control of kochia seedlings 1 to 4 inches tall. For more consistent control of small 
kochia, apply when the plants are at least 1 inch tall. A rate of 1-1/2 pints per acre should be used for optimal control of 
dicamba tolerant kochia populations (refer to the “Management of Kochia Biotypes” in the “Broadleaf Weeds Controlled or 
Suppressed” section above). 
 
Application Precautions 
x If legumes are included in CRP area planting, severe injury may occur. 
 
Application Restrictions 
x Do not allow livestock to graze in treated areas or feed treated grass to livestock. 
x Crops listed on the Carnivore Herbicide label (wheat, barley, or oats not under-seeded with a legume) 
may be planted within 120 days of application. Do not plant other crops within 120 days of application. 
 
FALLOWLAND 
Application Timing 
Apply at a rate of 1 to 2 pints per acre, depending upon the susceptibility of the weed species. Apply to grasses from the 
3-leaf stage. Unless otherwise specified below, apply when broadleaf weeds are up to the 8-leaf stage, 4 inches in height 
or 2 inches in diameter, whichever comes first. 
 
Kochia seedlings less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes) will be controlled using the 1 pint per acre rate. 
However, when conditions for control are less favorable, such as under drought or cool temperature, a rate of 1-1/2 pints 
per acre will provide more consistent control of kochia seedlings 1 to 4 inches tall. For more consistent control of small

10 
kochia, apply when the plants are at least 1 inch tall. A rate of 1-1/2 pints per acre should be used for optimal control of 
dicamba tolerant kochia populations (refer to the “Management of Kochia Biotypes” in the “Broadleaf Weeds Controlled or 
Suppressed” section above). 
 
Application Restrictions 
x Do not make more than two applications per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days. 
x Do not apply more than 2.4 pints (0.5 lbs. MCPA acid, 0.5 lbs. Bromoxynil, 0.2 lbs. Fluroxypyr acid) of this product 
per acre per year. 
x Do not allow livestock to graze in treated areas or feed treated plant material to livestock. 
x Do not plant any crop until 90 days after application. Within 90 to 120 days after application, plant only crops 
listed on this label (wheat, barley, or oats not under-seeded with a legume). Do not plant other crops within 90 to 
120 days of application.
