NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the WPS for agricultural pesticides (40
CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural crops on farms, forests, nurseries, or
greenhouses.
Keep all unprotected persons out of operating areas, or vicinity where there may be drift.
Do not enter or allow other to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
HOW IT WORKS
This product is a selective systemic herbicide for control of existing annual and perennial grasses growing in plants grown for wildlife
food. This product does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds.
Growth of treated grasses stops soon after application. Treated grassy weeds show a reduction in vigor and growth. The growing
points frequently turn purple to reddish in color before the plant dies. Treated grass will usually completely die within two weeks.
USE DIRECTIONS FOR ANNUAL GRASSES
• Apply only to actively growing grasses at specified weed heights.
• Apply when the first grass weed species in a mixed grass weed population reaches the specified growth stage for treatment.
• Use the high specified rate under heavy grass pressure and/or when grasses are at maximum height.

WHEN TO USE
Apply when grassy weeds are actively growing. Weather conditions such as sunny skies and warm weather promote the growth of
weeds and make them more susceptible.
• Rainfall within one hour of application will reduce product performance and control may be reduced.
• Mowing or topping grassy weeds before application will reduce product performance and control may be reduced.
• Application to stressed target grassy weeds will reduce product performance and control may be reduced. These conditions
include drought, excessive water, extremes in temperature and low humidity.
SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications:
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 3 feet from the target vegetation.
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x 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 o r 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.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields ar e 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.
HOW TO APPLY:
Broadcast applications
• Use of sufficient spray volumes and pressure is essential to ensure complete coverage.
• Use a minimum of 5 gallons or a maximum of 40 gallons of spray solution per acre.
• Under the following conditions a minimum of 10 gals per acre is required: perennial grasses, volunteer corn, drought or stre ss
conditions, heavy grass pressure or when grasses are at or near maximum height. Failure to use 10 gallons per acre under these
conditions may result in poor coverage and reduced grass control requiring repeat applications.
• Spray pressure should reflect a minimum of 30 psi and a maximum of 60 psi at the nozzle.
• Do not use flood nozzles.
• Add half of the needed water to the spray tank
• Add this product.
• Fill tank to desired level.
• Spray plants.
6
• Apply as close to target plants as practical while maintaining a good spray pattern for adequate coverage.
• Repeat application may be applied after 14 days.
Hand Sprayer Application:
• Apply with a hand trigger sprayer or pump up hand sprayer.
• Add water to half fill the tank.
• Add this product.
• Then fill tank to desired level.
• Adjust sprayer to deliver a fine spray.

TANK MIXES
Read tank mix product label for specified rates and weeds controlled. Always read and follow label directions for all tank mix
products before using. The most restrictive labeling of any tank mix product must be followed.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
This product is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other
Group 1 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the sam e
field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the
following steps:
"To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 1 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 the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as t he 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.
• 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
7
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possib le
herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, e specially
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.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switc h to
another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact 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.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Nufarm at 919-379-2510.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
x Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible.
x Use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed-control practices
such as mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation.
x Fields with difficult to control weeds should be rotated to crops that allow the use of herbicides with alternative
mechanisms of action or different management practices.
x Do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest and post-harvest to
prevent a buildup of the weed seed-bank.
x Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vegetative propagules.
x Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders.
x Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control
program should consider all of the weeds present.
x Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of action.
x Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a
weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of
action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an
overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-chemical methods to
remove escapes.
