|
||
Engineering Controls:
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the
|
||
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
|
||
170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should: 1) Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
|
||
2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean
|
||
clothing. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
|
||
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
For Terrestrial Uses: Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to
|
||
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
|
||
washwater or rinsate. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Drift and runoff may
|
||
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and 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 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 fomesafen from runoff water and sediment.
|
||
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48
|
||
hours.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This
|
||
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
|
||
water table is shallow.
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement:
|
||
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including
|
||
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following
|
||
label directions intended to minimize spray drift.

|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift.
|
||
Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State
|
||
or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||

|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
• Protective eyewear
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Read the label before using this product.
|
||
This product is a selective herbicide which may be applied pre-plant surface, pre-emergence and/or post-
|
||
emergence for control or partial control of broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges in cotton, dry beans,
|
||
potatoes, snap beans and soybeans.
|
||
Pre-plant Surface and Pre-emergence Applications
|
||
Certain germinating broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges can be controlled or partially controlled by soil
|
||
residual activity from either pre-plant surface or pre-emergence applications of this product. Moisture is
|
||
necessary to activate this product in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of
|
||
this product may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received after application of this
|
||
product, weed control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a one-fourth inch of water.
|
||
Post-emergence Applications
|
||
This product is generally most effective when used post-emergence, working through contact action.
|
||
Therefore, emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Best broad-spectrum
|
||
post-emergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when this product is applied early to
|
||
actively growing weeds. This usually occurs within 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed control
|
||
tables for specific directions on weed growth stages and rates. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of
|
||
labeled crop leaves may occur following post-emergence applications, but labeled crops soon outgrow
|
||
these effects and develop normally.
|
||
Soil Characteristics
|
||
Application of this product to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher
|
||
rates than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Refer to the Regional
|
||
Use Map, weed
|
||
control tables, and specific crop use sections for recommendations on use rates based on soil
|
||
texture.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
|
||
Always apply this product under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid
|
||
applying this product to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures,
|
||
excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control
|
||
and/or increased crop injury may result.
|
||
Rainfastness
|
||
This product requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied post-emergence.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation prior to post-emergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under
|
||
stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1 to 3 weeks after applying this product may assist weed
|
||
control.
|
||
Information on Weed Resistance
|
||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 14 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population
|
||
may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 14 mode of action
|
||
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:
|
||
xRotate the use of this product or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
|
||
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
xUse 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.
|
||
xAdopt 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.
|
||
xScout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development.
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally
|
||
controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a
|
||
spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) 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.
|
||
xIf 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.
|
||
xContact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
|
||
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed
|
||
biotypes.
|
||
xFor further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company
|
||
representatives at (901) 774-4370.

|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a
|
||
coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
• For aerial applications: 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. Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
|
||
field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
xDo not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
|
||
feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in
|
||
which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a
|
||
coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
• 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.
|
||
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
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• Pressure- Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle- Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
• Adjust Nozzles- Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide
|
||
uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
|
||
bounce.
|
||
|
||
Page 6 of 26
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
Drift Management
|
||
Refer to the “SPRAY DRIFT” section at the end of this label.
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Spray Additives
|
||
Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180 may be used in the spray mixture.
|
||
For Post-emergence Applications Always Add One of The Following Except in Tank Mix With
|
||
Products Prohibiting Spray Additives:
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS): Use NIS containing at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1 to 2
|
||
qts. per 100 gallons) of finished spray volume.
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC): Use a non-phytotoxic COC containing 15 to 20% approved emulsifier at 0.5
|
||
to 1% v/v (2 to 4 qts. per 100 gallons) of finished spray volume. COC can improve weed control but may
|
||
slightly reduce crop tolerance.
|
||
Other Adjuvants: Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used provided that the product meets the
|
||
following criteria:
|
||
1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
|
||
2. It is non-phytotoxic to the target crop.
|
||
3. It is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
|
||
4. It is supported locally for use with this product on the target crop through proven field trials and through
|
||
university and extension recommendations.
|
||
Note: No adjuvants are needed for pre-plant or pre-emergence applications unless this product is being
|
||
used in a burndown.
|
||
Recommended Mixing Order:
|
||
1. Fill spray tank with half the required amount of water and begin agitation.
|
||
*
|
||
2. Add dry pesticide formulations.
|
||
3. Add this product.

||
A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product 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 to 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.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATIONS
|
||
Pre-plant Surface and Pre-emergence Application - Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Nozzle
|
||
selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure recommendations for pre-plant surface or
|
||
pre-emergence applications. For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators
|
||
are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
Post-emergence Application - Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of
|
||
the target weed. A spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre and 30 to 60 psi at the nozzle tip is
|
||
recommended. On large weeds and/or dense foliage, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to
|
||
ensure coverage of weed foliage.
|
||
The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective post-emergence application of this product. Use
|
||
nozzles that are set up to deliver medium quality spray (ASAE Standard S-572). DO NOT USE FLOOD
|
||
TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLES, WHICH DELIVER COARSE, LARGE DROPLET SPRAYS.
|
||
BAND APPLICATIONS
|
||
Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed for post-emergence band treatment using
|
||
the following formula:
|
||
Band width in inches x Broadcast rate per acre = Band herbicide rate per acre
|
||
Row width in inches
|
||
Band width in inches x Broadcast volume per acre = Band herbicide rate per acre
|
||
Row width in inches
|
||
Note: Thorough weed coverage is important for post-emergent control. Best coverage is obtained with 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 directed for post-emergence applications but is suitable for pre-
|
||
emergence applications. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band applications. When
|
||
making post-emergence 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 spray, reducing
|
||
weed coverage, resulting in less than adequate weed control.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A minimum of 5
|
||
gallons per acre of spray mixture should be applied with a maximum of 40 psi pressure. When broadleaf
|
||
weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage.
|
||
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM, EXCEPT CENTER
|
||
PIVOT SYSTEMS.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
This product alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides on this label, which are registered for center
|
||
pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water pre-emergence (after planting but before weeds or crop
|
||
emerge) at rates recommended on this label. This product also may be applied post-emergence to the crop
|
||
and pre-emergence to weeds in crops where post-emergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow
|
||
all restrictions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply this product only through a center
|
||
pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury,
|
||
lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of
|
||
treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension specialists,
|
||
equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse
|
||
systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed
|
||
safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system
|
||
and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system
|
||
down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||
Operating Instructions
|
||
• The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain
|
||
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from
|
||
backflow.
|
||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to
|
||
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
|
||
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
|
||
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||
automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
|
||
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water
|
||
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distributions adversely
|
||
affected.
|
||
• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
|
||
diaphragm pump or piston pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
|
||
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
• Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into
|
||
the center pivot system. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually
|
||
provide more accurate calibration of equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide
|
||
in suspension.
|
||
• Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application.
|
||
• Apply in 1/2 to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (1/2 inch) on coarser soils and the
|
||
higher volume (1 inch) on fine-textured soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may reduce
|
||
weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil.
|
||
Precautions for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently,
|
||
unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury
|
||
may result.
|
||
Posting of areas to be chemigated is required when 1) any part of a treated area is within 300 feet of
|
||
sensitive areas such as residential areas, labor camps, businesses, day care centers, hospitals, in-patient
|
||
clinics, nursing homes or any public areas such as schools, parks, playgrounds, or other public facilities not
|
||
including public roads, or 2) when the chemigated area is open to the public such as golf courses or retail
|
||
greenhouses.
|
||
Posting must conform to the following requirements. Treated areas shall be posted with signs at all usual
|
||
points of entry and along likely routes of approach from the listed sensitive area. When there are no usual
|
||
points of entry, signs must be posted in the corners of the treated areas and in any other locations affording
|
||
|
||
Page 9 of 26
|
||
|
||
maximum visibility to sensitive areas. The printed side of the sign should face away from the treated area
|
||
towards the sensitive area. The signs shall be printed in English. Signs must be posted prior to application
|
||
and must remain posted until foliage has dried and soil surface water has disappeared. Signs may remain
|
||
in place indefinitely as long as they are composed of materials to prevent deterioration and maintain
|
||
legibility for the duration of the posting period.
|
||
All words shall consist of letters at least 2.5 inches tall, and all letters and the symbol shall be a color which
|
||
sharply contrasts with their immediate background. At the top of the sign shall be the words KEEP OUT,
|
||
followed by an octagonal stop sign symbol at least 8 inches in diameter containing the word STOP. Below
|
||
the symbol shall be the words PESTICIDES IN IRRIGATION WATER.
|
||
Posting required for chemigation does not replace other posting and reentry interval requirements for farm
|
||
worker safety.
|
||
Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems
|
||
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human
|
||
consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at
|
||
least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
|
||
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure
|
||
zone, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the
|
||
point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should
|
||
be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical
|
||
break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank
|
||
of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
|
||
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve
|
||
located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid
|
||
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually
|
||
shut down.
|
||
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water
|
||
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
|
||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and
|
||
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

|
||
Pre-emergence Application
|
||
Apply this product 1 to 1.5 pints per acre as a pre-emergence application to coarse textured soils (sandy
|
||
loam, loamy sand, sandy clay loam) only. Refer to Table 1 for a list of weeds controlled or partially
|
||
controlled. Do not apply as a pre-emergence application to medium or fine textured soils as crop injury will
|
||
likely occur.
|
||
Pre-plant Surface Application to Medium or Fine-Textured Soils
|
||
Apply this product at 1 pint per acre as a pre-plant surface application to medium or fine-textured soils (i.e.
|
||
soil types heavier than coarse-textured soils) up to 21 days prior planting cotton. Apply after the last tillage
|
||
operation is completed. Refer to Table 1 for a list of weeds controlled or partially controlled. Do not exceed
|
||
1 pint per acre of this product on medium or fine-textured soils. Also, to avoid severe crop injury, the
|
||
following directions must be followed when application is made to medium or fine-textured soils:
|
||
x After this product application, a minimum of 0.5 inch of rainfall or overhead irrigation must occur
|
||
before planting cotton.
|
||
x Cotton must be planted at least 0.75 inch in depth.
|
||
x Avoid overlapping spray swaths
|
||
x Do not disturb or re-work the seedbed following application.
|
||
The use of an in-furrow or seed applied fungicide will generally assist with seedling establishment and
|
||
development.
|
||
Cotton plants are tolerant to pre-plant surface or pre-emergence applications of this product when applied
|
||
at recommended rates and application use directions. Some crinkling or spotting of cotton foliage or
|
||
stunting may occur but cotton plants normally outgrow these effects and develop normally.
|
||
Cotton foliage is not tolerant to this product. Do not apply this product over the top of emerged cotton as
|
||
unacceptable cotton injury will occur.
|
||
Post-Directed Application (All Soil Types)
|
||
Apply this product in emerged cotton as a post-directed treatment using precision post-directed, hooded or
|
||
shielded application equipment to provide complete coverage of emerged weeds. Apply this product at 1
|
||
to 1.5 pints per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray solution per acre. Applications may be made
|
||
broadcast or banded. Post-directed applications of this product will provide contact control of labeled
|
||
|
||
Page 21 of 26
|
||
|
||
emerged weeds and residual pre-emergence control of labeled weeds (once activated by rainfall or
|
||
irrigation). Refer to the Weeds Controlled section for a list of weeds controlled, labeled application rates,
|
||
weed growth stages, and application directions.
|
||
This product should be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v, or crop oil concentrate at 1%
|
||
v/v to emerged weeds. Do not add liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) to this product, or tank mixes with this
|
||
product in cotton.
|
||
Cotton foliage is not tolerant to applications of this product. Avoid contact to cotton foliage as unacceptable
|
||
injury will occur. Application equipment should be calibrated (spray pressure, nozzle type and configuration,
|
||
and orifice size) to avoid fine spray droplets contacting green cotton stems and foliage.
|
||
Post-Directed Application Timing in Cotton
|
||
This product may be applied to cotton at least 6 inches in height through layby as a post-directed
|
||
application. All post-directed applications should avoid spray contact with any green non-barked parts of
|
||
the cotton plant or foliage as unacceptable injury will occur. Follow the application timing below for post-
|
||
directed applications in cotton.
|
||
Shield and Hooded Applications:
|
||
Make a precision post-directed application of this product to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact
|
||
with the cotton stem or foliage when cotton is at least 6 inches in height to avoid cotton injury. Use only
|
||
hooded or shielded spray equipment to apply this product in cotton that is 6 inches to 12 inches in height.
|
||
Adjust nozzles to provide full coverage of emerged target weeds.
|
||
Lay-by Applications:
|
||
Make a post-directed application of this product to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with any
|
||
non-barked portion of the cotton plant or foliage. Use precision post-directed equipment or hooded or
|
||
shielded sprayers on cotton that has developed a minimum of 4 inches of brown bark through layby.
|
||
Application equipment should be configured to provide full coverage of emerged target weeds.

Special Use Directions for the Suppression of Woollyleaf Bursage (Lakeweed), Ambrosia
|
||
grayi, in Texas
|
||
Apply this product to cultivated areas of cropland in the fall or spring as a spot treatment at a rate of 1.5
|
||
pints per acre and incorporate to a depth of 2 to 3 inches for suppression of woollyleaf bursage. Applications

|
||
Page 22 of 26
|
||
|
||
The use of adjuvants, as specified under the Spray Additives section, will significantly improve the initial
|
||
burndown of any emerged woollyleaf bursage, but this effect is only temporary. Therefore, an adjuvant may
|
||
be used if desired, but is not necessary.
|
||
Significant suppression may not be seen until 6 to 8 months after application, but should then continue for
|
||
at least 2 years after application. Cotton or soybeans may be planted in treated areas. Under certain
|
||
conditions, significant damage may occur to cotton planted within 18 months of application. A 3-year interval
|
||
from last application to planting is required for all other crops.
|
||
Do not make more than one application of this product per year. Do not apply more than 1.5 pints per acre
|
||
of this product in any year. If two consecutive year applications are made, allow a 2 year interval before
|
||
another application.
