USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Groundwater Advisory: Chlorsulfuron and Metsulfuron-methyl are known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of labe l use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory: 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 ru noff for weeks 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 po tential loading of chlorimuron-methyl from runoff
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Non-target Organism Advisory: 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 area. Protect the
forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions
on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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 agenc y responsible for pesticide regulation.
Pesticide Handling
• Calibrate sprayers using only clean water and away from well sites.
• Schedule routine inspections of spray equipment.
• Assure all operation employees are instructed in how to accurately measure pesticides.
• Prepare only enough spray solution for the job at hand.
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field/grove or
mixing/loading station.
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates/uses.
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
• After triple rinsing the pesticide container, add the rinsate to the spray mix.

ETI 122 01 H-D may only be used in accordance with this label or in separately published
supplemental labeling. To the extent consistent with applicable law, Etigra will not be responsible for
losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner contrary to label directions.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wi nd erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion
usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors
which can affects the movement of windblown soil incl ude the intensity and direction of prevailing winds,
vegetative cover, site slope, rainfa ll, and drainage patterns. Avoid applyi ng this product if prevailing local
conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, ETI 122 01 H-D contains two Group 2 herbicides chlorsulfuron and
metsulfuron-methyl. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to ETI 122 01 H-
D and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biot ypes may dominate the weed population if these
herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. A ppropriate resistance-management strategies should be
followed.
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to
retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of ETI 122 01 H -D or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• 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 th e less resistance-prone part ner 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 unsu re as to which active ingredient is currently less
prone to resistance.
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and t hat 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.
• Scout before and after herbicide application to moni tor weed populations for early signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resist ance 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 particu lar weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with
controlled individuals of the same species. If resistan ce 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 re sistant weed seeds to othe r fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage
equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
• 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.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certifie d crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance -
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
• [For further information or to report suspected resist ance, contact [Nufarm contact] at [one of][any of] the
following] [[[X]-XXX-XXX-XXXX] [[,][or]] 1-800-345-3330 [[,][or]] [Nufarm e-mail address] [][,][or]] [Nufarm
website] [[,][or]][XXXX]].]
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on
the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or
extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. Do not
assume that each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of action. Co-formulated active
ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be
controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
Naturally occurring weed biotypes which have been shown to be resistant to AMBER® herbicide, ALLY®
herbicide, GLEAN® FC herbicide, EXPRESS® herb icide or HARMONY® Extra herbicide will also be
resistant to ETI 122 01 H-D.
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 S641).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ 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 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufa cturer, 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 (ASAE S572.3).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3) 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 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 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 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.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release
spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary
for pilot safety.
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.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications:
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ETI 122 01 H-D contains the active ingredients chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron-methyl which are
herbicides recommended for control of many weeds found in wheat (including durum), barley and
fallow. ETI 122 01 H-D is approved for use in all states (unless directed otherwise by supplemental
labeling) except in the following counties in Co lorado: Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and
Saguache.
ETI 122 01 H-D is a dry flowable formulation which is not corrosive, not flammable, and not volatile. It
must be mixed with water, or slurried with water before addition to liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. A
surfactant is to be added to the spray mix unless otherwise noted in other sections of this label.
The directions for use in this label describe how to apply ETI 122 01 H-D to provide weed control either
preemergence (before weeds germinate) or postemergence (when weeds have emerged and are
actively growing). Preemergence applications are optimi zed by sprinkler irrigation or rainfall just after
application so that ETI 122 O1 H-D will penetrate the soil to a depth of 2" to 3" and reach the weed seed
area or weed root zone.
Several factors determine the length of time weed s are controlled and how well weeds are controlled,
including the type of weeds present, density and size of weeds, and the weather conditions at
application and after application. The type of weeds present as well as their size will determine which
use rate to select. Refer to the tables bel ow on use rates and list of weeds controlled.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ETI 122 01 H-D
ETI 122 01 H-D moves into plants by absorption th rough the roots and foliage and rapidly inhibits the
growth of susceptible weeds.
For optimum preplant and preemergence control of target weeds, ETI 122 01 H-D needs to reach the
weed roots. Rainfall after an application moves the ETI 122 01 H-D into the soil and the weed root
zone, and weeds will not emerge. There may be some instances when susceptible weeds will
germinate and emerge shortly after application. With in 3 to 5 days of emergence, these weeds will stop
growing, although some species may stay green an d be stunted. Within one to three weeks after
application, weed growth slows, leaves of suscepti ble plants become yellow to white in color, and
growing points die. Weather conditions that are dry and cold tend to delay the movement of ETI 122 01
H-D into the root zone, while wet and warm condition increases the speed in which effects of ETI 122 01
H-D are seen. In postemergence applications, poor weed control may be observed if rainfall occurs
shortly (within 6 hours) after application.
Optimum control of weeds shaded by a rapidly growin g crop is achieved from use of ETI 122 01 H-D.
Ineffective control of weeds may be seen where crop stands are thin or in sections with gaps in
seeding. If the canopy of the crop completely in tercepts the spray solution, weed control will be
reduced. ETI 122 01 H-D is less effective to weeds hardened off by cold weather or under stress from
lack of water. Under these conditions, control is ac hieved using a: tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D with
other registered herbicides (such as 2, 4-D, or MCPA).
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
ETI 122 01 H-D may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. This program
relies on tillage (or other mechanical), biological, cultural, and chemical control practices to prevent
economic pest damage. IPM principles and practice s include field monitoring, historical information
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, correct identification of target pests, population monitoring, and
treatment when target pest populations reach a locall y-determined action thresholds. Consult your state
cooperative extension service, prof essional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine the
action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle
types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc.
Use calibrated air or ground eq uipment, and apply in a spray volume and delivery system to ensure
thorough, uniform spray coverage of weed pests. Use precautions to minimize. drift. Higher spray
volumes will produce better coverage to dense canopies of weeds. Do not overlap sprays. To avoid
injury to desirable species, turn off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping.
Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might
cause spray drift onto nontarget sites. Additional information is provided in the sections
Spray Drift
Management.
Use application equipment that will ensure constant agitation of ETI 122 01 H-D spray solutions.
Ground Application
The use of flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles wi ll provide optimum spray distribution and thorough
coverage of spray solution. Use the following spray volumes for the type of nozzle selected: flat-fan
nozzles - minimum 3 gal. per Acre (GPA); flood jet on 30 inch spacings - minimum 10 GPA; flood nozzles
(TK10, or equivalent, or smaller) at 30 psi - minimum 30 GPA; jet TK 5 to TK 7.5 or equivalent - minimum
13 GPA (40-inch spacing) to 20 GPA (60-inch spacing); "Raindrop" RA nozzles - minimum 20 GPA. It is
essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. Screens must be 50-mesh or larger.
Aerial Application
Apply ETI 122 01 H-D at 1 to 5 gallons per Acre using spray nozzle types and arrangements that
optimizes spray distribution and coverage. In Idaho, Oregon, or Utah, apply at a minimum of 3 gallons
per Acre.
To prevent drift into adjacent area s or onto sensitive crops, apply ETI 122 01 H-D by air using solid
stream nozzles oriented straight back. To minimize sp ray drift, supplement aerial applications of ETI 122
01 H-D with ground applications to borders and edges of fields. See additional precautions in the section
Spray Drift Management.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING TANK MIXES OF ETI 122 01 H-D
HOW TO MEASURE REQUIRED AMOUNTS OFETI 122 01 H-D
The required amount of ETI 122 01 H-D can be measured using the volumetric cylinder supplied
specifically for use with ETI 122 01 H-D. If you do not have a measuring cylinder, weigh the product
using a balance that has scales calibrated in ounces.
PREPARING A TANK MIX OF ETI 122 01 H-D
1. Using clean fresh water, fill the spray tank ¼ to 1/3 full . If a liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution is used in
place of water, refer to the table Tank Mixes with Other Products below for additional details.
2. Begin agitation and then add the required amount of ETI 122 01 H-D.
3. Allow the solution to agitate for 5 minutes to completely disperse the dry flowable ETI 122 01 H-D
formulation.
4. Continue agitation and fill the. spray tank ,with the remaining water. Do not add any other material
until the ETI 122 01 H-D is thoroughly mixed with the water.
5. As the tank is filling with the remaining amount of water, add any tank mix partners followed by the
necessary volume of nonionic surfactant. Always add the surfactant last. Do not mix ETI 122 01 H-D
with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spra y solution below 3.0. Additional information is
found in the section on
Surfactants below.
6. NOTE: Continuous agitation is required or settling wi ll occur. Before spraying, reagitate the solution
to ensure a uniform solution is sprayed.
7. Make only a sufficient amount of ETI 122 01 H-D sp ray mixture that can be used within 24 hours of
mixing. The product may degrade if allowed to sit unused.
8. For application of multiple loads of ETI 122 01 H-D and a tank mix pa rtner, make a pre-slurry of ETI
122 01 H-D in clean water and then add to the spray tank. This pre-mix helps to prevent the tank mix
partner from interfering with the dissolution of th e ETI 122 01 H-D. Be sure all ETI 122 01 H-D is
suspended in the spray tank solution before adding any tank mix partner.
TANK MIXES
Tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D with registered herbic ides may be applied to wheat, barley and fallow and
will control or suppress weeds listed in the Weeds tables below, and other weeds either not listed on this
label or that are resistant to ETI 122 01 H-D. Tank mixes. of ETI 122 01 H-D with insecticides and
fungicides registered for use on wheat or barley, or wi th liquid fertilizers are permitted as directed in the
section below on Tank Mixes with Other Products. Read and follow all manufacturers' label
recommendations for the tank mix partner. Before tank mixing the tank mix product with ETI 122 01 H-D,
be sure all recommendations on the herbicide labels do not conflict with those on this label. Read the
section on Preparing a Tank Mix of ETI 122 01 H-D, above, regarding preparation of pre-slurries of ETI
122 01 H-D before adding tank mix partners.
SURFACTANTS
Always add an Etigra-authorized, nonionic surfactant to spray tanks unless directions elsewhere on this
label recommend against this addition. The surfactant mu st have at least 80% active ingredient and is to
be applied at 0.125 to 0.5% v/v (0.5 to 2 qt. per 100 gal of spray solution).
Use the higher specified surfactant rate with spray volumes of 5 GPA or less and when low rates of ETI
122 01 H-D are to be applied. A list of approved surfactants can be· obti3ined from your Agricultural
dealer applicator or Etigra representative. Use an antifoaming agent if needed.
Do not substitute low rates of liquid fertilizer for a surfactant.
HOW TO CLEAN SPRAYER EQUIPMENT
Clean all spray equipment before making an application of ETI 122 01 H-D.
Immediately after an application or multiple applicat ions of ETI 122 01 H-D, clean all spray equipment
using the cleanup procedures described on the labels of previously. applied products. If there are no
cleanup directions, use the 6 step procedure describe d below before using this equipment to spray crops
other than wheat or barley. After spraying is completed at the end of the day, rinse the interior of the tank
with fresh water. Partially refill the tank with fresh water and flush the boom and hoses. These rinses will
prevent deposits of dried pesticide residues that can remain in the application equipment.
Residues of ETI 122 01 H-D that remain in the sp ray equipment may injure desirable crops if the
equipment is used to make applications to crops othe r than barley or wheat. Use the following steps to
clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications of ETI 122 01 H-D:
1. Drain the spray tank and then use fresh water to rinse the interior surfaces of the tank. Then
flush the tank, boom, and hoses with water for at least 5 minutes. Physically remove any solid
deposits that are found around the equipment. .
2. Use fresh clean water to fill the tank and add one gallon of household ammonia (3%) † per 100
gallons of water. Flush the boom, hoses, and nozzles with this cleaning solution. Completely fill
the tank with fresh water arid circulate the solu tion through the tank and hoses for 15 minutes.
Flush the boom; hoses, and nozzles, and then drain the tank.
3. Remove· and clean the nozzles and screens separa tely. Use a bucket filled with the cleaning
solution.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Use clean water to rinse the tank, boom and hoses.
6. If the cleaner used is only ammonia, the rinsate solution may be discarded by being applied to the
wheat or barley. Do not exceed the maximum la beled use rate. If other cleaners are used,
consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal inst ructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of
the rinsate on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
† Other Etigra-approved cleaning solutions or differe nt strengths of ammonia solution can also be
used as cleaning agents. Use the same amounts as noted in step 2, above. Carefully follow the
directions for use on the labels of the individual cleaner. Consult your Agricultural dealer, applicator,
or Etigra representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
Notes for Sprayer Equipment Cleaning:
• Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia as dangerous gases will form. Clean equipment in well-
ventilated areas.
• Before following the above cleanout procedure for aerial spray tanks, a steam-cleaning of the tanks is
recommended to aid in removing caked deposits.
• Follow the most rigorous cleanout procedure for all pesticides which are tank-mixed with ETI 122 01 H-
D.
• After completing the above cleanout procedure an d before using the sprayer equipment to make the
next pesticide application, clean out the sprayer fo llowing the procedures on the pesticide product label
that will be applied.
• It is recommended that a dedicated sprayer be kept for ETI 122 01 H-D applications during the growing
season. Dedicated equipment for ETI 122 01 H-D applications will help to minimize the potential for
injury to ETI 122 01 H-D-sensitive crops if routine spraying practice s include equipment shared between
applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and applications of other pesticides during the same spray season.
CROP ROTATION
Do not treat all acres (wheat, barley, fallow) at the sa me time with ETI 122 01 H-D if. rotational crop
plantback flexibility is desired.
FIELD BIOASSAY
The following situations require a field bioassay before planting crops to areas previously treated with ETI
122 01 H-D (refer to the tables in the section Crop Rotation for additional information): 1. The crop is not
listed. 2. The soil pH is outside the specified range. 3. The use rate applied is not listed in the Rotation
Crop Interval table. 4. The fields treated with ETI 122 01 H-D have not received the specified minimum
cumulative precipitation since application.
Test the crop intended to be planted the year following a treatment with ETI 122 01 H-D by growing the
crop in small plots which received the ETI 122 01 H-D treatment. The crop response will determine the
feasibility of rotating this crop to large areas whic h had been treated with ETI 122 01 H-D. Additional
information on the procedures for carrying out field bi oassays can be obtained from your local dealer or
Etigra representative.
GRAZING RESTRICTIONS
There are no grazing restrictions from applications of ETI 122 01 H-D.
AGRICULTURAL USES
WHEAT AND BARLEY
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Read the following restrictions and precautions to avoid injury to or loss of desirable trees or other
desirable plants or vegetation.
x Before using ETI 122 01 H-D, consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as
to sensitivity of barley and wheat varieties to various herbicides. If the sensitivity of the crop variety
is unknown, test ETI 122 01 H-D on a small area of the crop variety.
x To avoid injury and/or temporary discoloration, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D alone, in combination
with surfactants, or with high rates of liquid ni trogen fertilizers to barley or wheat growing under
conditions of stress (drought, extreme temperatur e changes, water-saturated soils, disease, or
insect damage, low fertility). Injury to these crop s is possible if application is followed by severe
winter stress including drought, disease, or insect damage.
x To avoid injury to forages, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to barley or wheat which are undersown with
legumes.
x Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D preplant, preemergence, or postemergence at rates lower than 2/10 oz.
per Acre.
x To avoid possible crop injury to desirable trees or vegetation, 1) do not use this product on lawns,
walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas; 2) use caution to avoid spray drift or direct or
indirect contact of sprays onto. desirable plants or areas adjacent to treated fields; 3) do not apply,
drain or flush equipment rinses on or near desi rable trees or other plants, on areas where their
roots may extend, or in areas where the produc t may be washed or moved into contact with
desirable plant roots.
x To minimize off-site movement of product on tr eated soils which can lead to damage of susceptible
crops, do not apply if soils are powdery, dry or light, or sandy unless rainfall, mulch or other
cultural practices stabilize these soils. Treated soil particles may move off-site to non-target crop
sites through wind or water. Low levels of ETI 122 01 H-D may injure or kill crops other than
barley and wheat.
x Improved weed control in wheel track areas is achieved when ETI 122 01 H-D is tank mixed with 2,4-
D or MCPA and applied by ground postemergence to weeds under dry, dusty field conditions.
x If wheat has germinated and has emerged above the soil surface, do not make preemergence
applications of ETI 122 01 H-D to wheat fields.
x Do not make preemergence applications of ETI 122 01 H-D to wheat planted into dry soil ("dusted in")
or on very coarse, uneven seedbeds.
x To avoid the possibility of surface runoff, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to frozen ground or to snow-
covered ground.
x Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to irrigated land if the tailwater will be used to irrigate other crops.
x Clean all spray equipment according to the directions in this label. Residues remaining in spray
equipment may damage crops (other than wheat and barley).
x Read and follow the rotation crop restrictions on labels of products such as GLEAN® FC, ALLY®,
Amber®, Assert®, or other longer residual herbic ides with the same mode of action that have
been used on land that may be treated with ETI 122 01 H-D. Follow the label that has the longest
rotation crop plantback interval before choosing to rotate to crops other than wheat or barley.

Inadequate suppression may occur without adequate rainfall if Persian Darnel reaches the 3-leaf stage.
Footnote 1: Apply tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D and other products registered for preplant/preemergence (or postemergence) use on
these crops (such as "Roundup").
Footnote 2: To prevent injury to crops, do not use ETI 122 01 H-D if organophosphate insecticides (such as disulfoton (Di-Syston®) etc.)
have been or are intended to be used as an in-furrow treatment.
Footnote 3: Delayed seedling emergence and/or crop stress may result from a preemergence application to late fall plantings under cold
weather and/or dry conditions. Preemergence applications may also injure wheat seeded less than 1" deep. It is recommended that a
postemergence application be made when the crop has emerged and shows good vigor.
FALLOW
Use ETI 122 01 H-D as a fallow treatment at 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre, Apply in the spring or fall to
actively growing weeds that have emerged. If applie d with other herbicides, ensure that the tank mix
partners are registered for use in fallow. Read the section above on Tank Mixes before using with ETI
122 01 H-D.
TANK MIXES WITH OTHER PRODUCTS
Before making postemergence tank mix applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and other registered herbicides,
or sequential applications of ETI 122 01 H-D and other registered herbicides, read the additional
information on Tank Mixes above. Refer to the table below for specific directions for tank mixes with

Insecticides Only insecticides registered for use on
wheat, barley and fallow may be used in
these tank mixes.
There are certain conditions (such as stress from
drought, cold weather or warm days/cold nights
post
-application, or crops in the 2- 4 leaf stage),
when tank mixes or sequential treatments of ETI
122 01 H-D and organophosphate insecticides
(such as methyl or ethyl parathion, disulfoton,
etc.) should be avoided. Temporary crop
yellowing or crop injury may occur unless these
tank mixes have been tested on a small plot. If
signs of crop injury do not occur, larger areas may
be treated.
Do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D plus Malathion.
Crop injury may occur from this tank mix.
When an organophosphate insecticide such as

Liquid Fertilizers Liquid fertilizers may replace water as the
carrier in spray solutions. Check for
physical compatibility before mixing ETI 122
01 H-D in liquid fertilizers. When tank
mixing ETI 122 01 H-D, use the more
compatible ester formulations of 2,4 -D or
MCPA. Add a surfactant when using low
rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizers (less than
50% of spray solution by volume). Crop
injury may occur if a surfactant is used at
higher rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizers.
Local recommendations may provide
additional information on when to add
surfactants.
Do not use ETI 122 01 H-D plus with liquid
fertilizers that have a pH of 3.0 or less. The low
pH can lead to degradation of ETI 122 01 H -D.
Increased chances of crop injury may occur when
surfactants are added to liquid fertilizer tank
mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2,4-D ester or
MCPA ester. Test this tank mix on a small area
of the crop and if no signs of injury are observed,
larger areas may be treated.
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer solution as
a substitute for a surfactant.
Herbicides such as:
Bromoxynil
(such as BUCTRIL®
4EC - ¼ to 1 pt. per
Acre, or BRONATE® -
½ to 2 pt per Acre, or
CURTAIL - 1 to 2 pt.
per Acre)
Dicamba
(such as BANVEL® or
Clarity - 1/8 to ¼ pt.

These tank mixes can be used to improve
control of weeds not listed on this label.
If Assert"" is used in the tank mix with ETI 122 01
H-D, always add a third broadleaf herbicide that
has a different mode of action (such as MCPA
ester or 2,4-D ester). Use a surfactant if
recommended on the tank mix partner label. If
crops receive heavy rainfall shortly after
application, some temporary crop discoloration,
stunting or injury may occur.
Some broadleaf weeds may not be completely
controlled from tank mixes with Dicamba (such as
Banvel, Banvel SGF and Clarity).
Optimum wild oat control may not be achieved
with tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H- D with Hoelon
3EC.
2,4-D (Amine or
Ester)
OR
MCPA (Amine or
Ester)
¼ to ½ lb. Al per Acre
Apply after weeds have emerged. The ester
formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA provide best
control. Use 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre of ETI
122 01 H-D. Add a surfactant if desired (½
to 1 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution) but the
potential for crop injury increases. If a liquid
fertilizer is added to the spray tank·
mix, do not add a surfactant.
For tank mixes with MCPA, apply after the 3- to 5-
leaf stage but before boot.
For tank mixes with 2,4-D, apply after tillering
(consult the recommendations on the 2, -4-D
label) but before boot.
To avoid severe crop injury and/or foliar burn, the
use of liquid fertilizers in either of these tank
mixes is not recommended when temperatures
are below 32°F or if the crop is under stress from
cold weather just before winter dormancy.

ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC WEEDS
Annual
Bluegrass/Annual
Ryegrass
Preemergence: 5/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply after planting but before winter
wheat emerges OR apply after planting, before wheat emerges followed by an application of
metribuzin at 2.25 to 4.5 oz. Al per Acre; apply metribuzin in the fall when the wheat is at the
4-5 leaf stage and annual grassy weeds are in the 1-3 leaf stage.
Preemergence control in the Pacific Northwest: A tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D (3/10 to
4/10 oz. per Acre) plus Diuron DF (1.5 lb per Acre) improves control of these weeds. Ensure
adequate rainfall (½ to 1") will occur after application to move ETI 122 01 H -D into the root
zone of weeds before bluegrass or ryegrass emerges
Postemergence: Use 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D as a tank mix with metribuzin
at 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre. Apply after the wheat (4-5 leaf stage) and grass weeds (1-3 leaf
stage) have emerged.
Bedstraw 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. If applied postemergence, use ETI 122 01 H-D plus a
surfactant (2 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution) and apply before bedstraw is over 2 inches long.
Bromus species (cheat,
downy brome,
Japanese brome)
These grasses are best suppressed from an application of ETI 122 01 H-D in a tank mix with
metribuzin, or as an alternate, from sequential applications of these herbicides. Refer to the
use directions for wheat, barley and fallow on the metribuzin label.
For ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin to be most effective, sufficient rainfall (1/2 to 1") is required
so that ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin move into the weed root zone before these weeds
germinate and develop an established root system. These weed will not be suppressed if
there is an insufficient amount of rainfall. Too much rainfall may result in crop injury.
When the weather turns cold, there is a risk for crop injury and ineffective weed suppression.
Apply metribuzin (such as "Sencor" DF) prior to winter dormancy of the crop and grassy
weeds. Do not add any other pesticide to tank mixes of ETI 122 01 H-D and metribuzin and
use the surfactants recommended on either the ETI 122 01 H-D or metribuzin labels. Some
wheat and barley varieties are sensitive to metribuzin so refer to the metribuzin label for a list
of these varieties.
Preemergence and Sequential: 5/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply after planting
winter wheat and prior to its emergence. Follow this application with a sequential application
of 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre of metribuzin applied in the fall after the wheat has reached the 4
to 5-leaf stage of growth and the annual grassy we eds are in the 1 to 3-leaf stage of growth.
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: 4/10 to 5/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply
after planting winter wheat and prior to its emergence. A sequential application of
metribuzin may be made to aid in suppression of these weeds. Apply 1.5 to 3 oz. Al per
Acre metribuzin in the fall to wheat (2-leaf to 3 tiller stage) or 3.75 to 6 oz. Al per Acre.
after winter wheat is actively growing with at least 4 tillers and 2 inches of secondary root
systems.
Postemergence: 2/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2.25 to 3 oz. Al per Acre
metribuzin. Treat wheat (at the 4 to 5-leaf stage) and weeds (at the 1 to 3- leaf stage) that
have emerged.
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 1.5 to 3
oz. Al per Acre metribuzin. Apply in the fall when wheat or barley are at the 2-leaf to 3-
tiller stage. When these crops are actively growing with at least 4 tillers and at least 2
inches of secondary root system, apply ET I 122 01 H-D at 3/10 to 4/10 oz. and metribuzin
at 3.75 to 6 oz. active per Acre. Best results will be obtained if application is made before
the weeds reach the 2 to 3-leaf stage. Refer to the metribuzin label for additional
information on treating these weeds.
Canada thistle Time the application of ETI 122 01 H-D to occur after the majority of thistles emerge, are small
(rosette stage to 4" - 6" tall) and are actively growing. Annual treatments may provide
maximum long-term results. Include a surfactant with ETI 122 01 H-D spray solutions.
Corn gromwell Postemergence: Applications work best from 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus
bromoxynil (such as Buctril or Bronate). Spray small, actively growing weeds.
Flixweed,
Tansymustard
Postemergence: Applications work best from ETI 122 01 H-D in tank mixes with 2,4-D or
MCPA (amine or ester). Spray actively growing weeds.
Kochia, Russian thistle,
Prickly lettuce
These weeds are known to have naturally occurring resistant biotypes which can be best
controlled from application of ETI 122 01 H-D in the spring when weeds are less than 2" tall or
2" across and are actively growing. A tank mix of ETI 122 01 H-D plus dicamba (such as
"Banvel"/Banvel SGF/'Clarity") and/or 2, 4-D should be applied with a surfactant (2 qt.
surfactant per 100 gal. of spray solution).
Prostrate knotweed Preemergence: 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Apply in the fall.
Postemergence: Applications work best with 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus
either 2, 4-D, MCPA, dicamba (such as "Banvel" /Banvel SGF”/”Clarity") and/or bromoxynil
(such as Buctril or Bronate). Include a surfactant in the tank mix. Spray emerged seedlings
(no more than 4 true leaves) that are actively growing.
Sunflower Postemergence: Wait until the majority of sunflowers have emerged but before they are
more than 2 inches in height before making an ETI 122 01 H-D application. The surfactant
rate should be 2 qt. per 100 gal. of water.
Preemergence: Make an application of ETI 122 01 H-D in the early spring. Spring rainfall
should move the ETI 122 01 H -D into the weed root zone which should prevent weed
germination or weed root system development.
NOTE: If applied in the fall in areas where rain fall is significant, the residual activity of ETI 122
01 H-D may not provide adequate control of this weed. ETI 122 01 H-D applied in the spring
may not control deep-germinating sunflowers that emerge.
Vetch Postemergence: Applications work best from 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 1/4 lb Al
per Acre of 2,4-D or MCPA (amine or ester). Include a surfactant in the tank mix.
Wild buckwheat Preemergence: 4/10 oz. per Acre of ETI 122 01 H-D applied in the fall or early spring
provides optimum results.
Postemergence: 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D plus 2,4-D, MCPA, dicamba (such as
BANVEL®/BANVEL® SGF or Clarity), and/or bromoxynil (such as BUCTRIL® or
BRONATE®) provide optimum results . Spray emerged seedlings that are actively growing.
Although 3/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D may control this weed, consult local Etigra
recommendations on directions for treating this weed.
Wild radish 3/10 to 4/10 oz. per Acre ETI 122 01 H-D. Optimum results are achieved if ET) 122 01 H-D is
applied postemergence.
CROP ROTATION
Do not treat all acres (wheat, barley, fallow) at the same time with ETI 122 01 H-D if rotational crop
plantback flexibility is desired. Be fore using ETI 122 01 H-D, plan your application and rotation crop
strategy. Follow the rotation crop intervals specified in the tables below. The tables below note
Cumulative Precipitation in inches, which is defined as the amount of rainfall received from the date of
ETI 122 01 H-D application to the date of planting. Do not rotate to the· crops listed in the tables below
until the next growing season if the listed cumulative precipitation has not been received. A field bioassay
must be conducted in certain states under certain conditions.
Minimum Rotation Intervals
Minimum recropping (or rotation crop) intervals for planti ng crops to fields previously treated with ETI 122
01 H-D are defined as the amount of time that must elapse from the last application to the anticipated
date of the next planting. These intervals have be en established based on how quickly ETI 122 01 H-D
breaks down in the soil. Factors that influence the ra te of breakdown include soil pH, soil temperature,
soil microbes, and soil moisture. Soils that have a low pH (less than 7.0), high moisture (regions that
receive over 20" of annual rainfall), and high soil temperatures (greater than 40°F) facilitate the
breakdown of ETI 122 01 H-D in soil. Conversely, so ils with high soil pH, low moisture and low soil
temperatures tend to break down ETI 122 01 H-D more slowly. Due to the variations from year to year in
rainfall and soil temperatures and from region to region, it is important to monitor soil temperatures and
soil moisture when crops will be planted back to ETI 122 01 H-D treated areas.
Soil pH Limitations
If soils have a pH above 7.9, ETI 122 01 H-D should not be applied to these fields or residues of ETI 122
01 H-D may persist. This residual activity may require crop rotation intervals longer than the timing listed
in the table below in order to avoid injury to barley or wheat or other sensitive crops. To avoid crop injury
or stress due to low soil pH levels and aluminum toxicity, do not apply ETI 122 01 H-D to soils that have a
pH below 5.0.
Testing Soil pH: Do not apply until you have tested the soil pH in areas where treatment is planned. To
determine the pH of the soil, sample soils taken from different, representative areas at depths of between
0 and 4 inches. Send the samples to a laboratory for individual pH determinations. Additional information
on soil sampling can be obtained from local extension publications.
Rotation Crop Intervals for Cereal Crops
The minimum recropping intervals are based upon the soil pH, the rate of ETI 122 01 H-D applied and the
location. The minimum-recropping interval is the amount of time that must elapse from the date of the
last application to the anticipated date of planting . The crops that can be rotated are listed under the
corresponding minimum recropping interval column in the table below.
