Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft
above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a great-
er 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).
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind
at the downwind edge of the field.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at
the application site. If the windspeed 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.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications
• User must only apply with the release height recom-
mended 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 appli-
cators 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.
Boomless Ground Applications
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
• 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 NONTARGET
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 recommend-
ed 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 recom-
mendations for setting up nozzles.
• Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be ori-
ented 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.
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.
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. Tem-
perature 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 applica-
tions during temperature inversions.
5
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.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
PURSUIT® DG herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. While
weed resistance to Group 2 herbicides is common in a
number of weed species, these herbicides remain an
important component of successful weed control pro-
grams. Resistance management should be part of a
diversified weed control strategy that integrates multiple
options including chemical, cultural, mechanical, and bio-
logical control tactics. Cultural control tactics include
agronomic practices that improve the competitive ability of
the crop via rotation, variety/cultivar selection, precision
fertilizer placement and optimum crop plant density. Agro-
nomic practices should also limit the development and
spread of weeds by using clean crop seed (e.g., certified
seed), preventing crop trait out-crossing, controlling weed
influx from field borders, and managing weed seed at har-
vest/post-harvest to minimize the carryover weed
seed-bank into the following crop. Mechanical control tac-
tics include timely tillage where practical, equipment
cleaning to avoid weed spread, and minimization of har-
vest crop seed losses in the field through close attention to
timeliness of harvest, correct setup of harvest equipment,
and covering crop seed loads during harvest and transport
to avoid dispersing seed. An example of a biological con-
trol tactic is field grazing during or after cropping to
manage weeds and reduce weed seed production.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to
this product, the following steps should be followed where
practical:
• Plant into weed-free fields. Start with clean tillage or an
effective burndown herbicide program.
• Scout fields before herbicide application to ensure herbi-
cides and rates will be optimum for the weed species
and weed sizes present.
• Apply preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual
control of broadleaf and grass weeds to reduce early
season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop
postemergence herbicide applications.
• Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other
herbicides possessing different sites of action that are
also effective on the target weeds.
• Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage
specifications.
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
control during the growing season.
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season.
• Apply full labeled rates of PURSUIT DG for the most
difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
• Use recommended adjuvant, adequate spray volume,
proper nozzle and pressure (see label) to ensure effective
weed coverage for applications.
• Control weeds in field borders to prevent weed influx into
field.
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
where weed control was ineffective and to monitor weed
populations for early signs of resistance development.
Consider application and environmental factors that may
have led to incomplete control. Indicators of suspected
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 affect-
ed area by applying an alternative herbicide from a
different group other than Group 2 or by a mechanical
method such as hoeing or tillage.
• If a weed population continues to progress after treat-
ment with this product, discontinue use of this product.
Switch to another management strategy or another her-
bicide with a different mode of action.
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif-
ferent site of action or use a mechanical control
measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro-
duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
• Clean tillage, harvesting, and other equipment before
moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant
weeds (especially harvest and tillage equipment).
• Contact your herbicide supplier and/or your local BASF
representative if resistance is suspected.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following
herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum, soil-applied herbicide with site of
action other than Group 2 as a foundation in a weed
control program.
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alterna-
tive sites of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2
herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of
PURSUIT DG and any other Group 2 herbicides within
a single growing season unless mixed with another site
of action herbicide with an overlapping spectrum for the
difficult-to-control weeds.
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
6
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed
control program.
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before
and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
weeds.
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har-
vest to reduce weed seed production.
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further
guidance on weed control practices as needed.
GENERAL INFORMATION
PURSUIT® DG herbicide kills weeds by root and/or
foliage uptake and rapid translocation to the growing
points. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum
PURSUIT DG activity. When adequate soil moisture is
present, PURSUIT DG will provide residual control of sus-
ceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds
will depend on the weed species and the location of its
root system in the soil.
Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yel-
lowing of crop plants may occur following PURSUIT DG
applications. These effects occur infrequently and are tem-
porary. Normal growth and appearance should resume
within 1 to 2 weeks.
When organo-phosphate (such as Lorsban
®) or carbamate
insecticides are tank-mixed with PURSUIT DG, temporary
injury may result to the treated crops.
Use of PURSUIT DG herbicide in accordance with label
directions is expected to result in normal growth of rota-
tional crops in most situations; however, various
environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible
to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product
and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible.
Under some conditions (such as heavy texture soil, high
organic matter, low pH or low rainfall) PURSUIT DG may
cause injury to subsequent planted crops. Vegetable crops
and particularly sugar beets are sensitive to PURSUIT DG
residues in the soil.
Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously
treated with PURSUIT DG, the field may be replanted to
soybeans, peanuts or CLEARFIELD
® corn (imidazolinone
resistant/tolerant corn), lima beans or Southern peas.
Rework the soil no deeper than the treated zone. Do not
apply a second treatment of PURSUIT DG.
Naturally occurring biotypes* of some of the weeds listed
on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/
or other products with either the ALS/AHAS enzyme inhib-
iting mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS
enzyme inhibiting mode of action include the sulfonylureas
(e.g., Accent
®, Basis®, Classic®, Harmony GT® Spirit®
Permit®, etc.), the sulfonamides (e.g., FirstRate®, etc.) and
the pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g. Staple®, etc.). If naturally
occurring ALS/AHAS resistant biotypes are present in a
field, PURSUIT DG and/or any other ALS/AHAS enzyme
inhibiting mode of action herbicide should be tank-mixed
or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered her-
bicide having a different mode of action to ensure control.
* A weed biotype is a naturally occurring plant within a
given species that has a slightly different, but distinct,
genetic makeup from other plants.
CLEARFIELD® CORN
Apply PURSUIT DG only on selected field corn hybrids
(CLEARFIELD corn) warranted by the seed company to
possess resistance/tolerance to direct application of
PURSUIT DG. DO NOT apply PURSUIT DG to corn
hybrids which lack resistance/tolerance to PURSUIT DG
herbicide. Contact your seed supplier, chemical dealer or
BASF to obtain information regarding CLEARFIELD corn
hybrids.
Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions
can exhibit various injury symptoms which may be more
pronounced if herbicides are used. Corn plants treated
with PURSUIT DG may exhibit yellowing on new growth.
Such effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal
growth and appearance should resume within 1 to
2 weeks.
EDIBLE LEGUME VEGETABLES
Reduced crop growth, quality, yield and/or delayed maturi-
ty may result from a PURSUIT DG application to edible
legume vegetables. Since crop maturity may be delayed,
timing of harvest may need to be adjusted accordingly.
DO NOT apply PURSUIT DG if planting is delayed and
chance of frost prior to maturity is likely.
USE PURSUIT DG ONLY if proper agronomic practices
have been utilized, including good soil fertility, proper crop
rotation, disease and insect management and tillage prac-
tices that eliminate compaction and hardpans. Plant peas,
lentils or lima beans at least 1/2 inch deep to reduce risk of
crop injury.
DO NOT apply PURSUIT DG if cold and/or wet conditions
are present or predicted to occur within one week of appli-
cation. DO NOT apply PURSUIT DG postemergence after
crop has begun to flower or crop injury may result. (Refer
to specific legume vegetable crop for specific application
timings recommended).
USE AREA RESTRICTIONS
In New York State - Not for Sale or Use on Long
Island.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS OF PURSUIT DG
REQUIRE THE ADDITION OF AN ADJUVANT AND A FER-
TILIZER SOLUTION.
NOTE: Fertilizer solutions may not be used in the
state of California.
I. ADJUVANTS
CROP OIL CONCENTRATE: A petroleum or vegetable
seed based oil concentrate may be used. Methylated seed
oils are recommended when weeds are under moisture or
7
temperature stress. Use methylated seed oils at the rate of
1.0% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray solution), or use
a crop oil concentrate at 1.25% v/v (1.25 gallons per
100 gallons of spray solution). DO NOT include a CROP
OIL CONCENTRATE when applying PURSUIT® DG
herbicide to edible legume vegetable crops.
OR
SURFACTANTS: Use a non-ionic surfactant containing at
least 80% active ingredient. Apply the surfactant at the
rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solu-
tion). An organo-silicone surfactant or dry surfactant may
be used in place of a non-ionic surfactant.
AND
(All States Except California)
II. FERTILIZER SOLUTION
Recommended nitrogen based fertilizers include liquid fer-
tilizers (such as 28%N, 32%N or 10-34-0) may be applied
at the rate of 1.25 to 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of spray
solution. Use the higher rate when weeds are under mois-
ture or temperature stress. Instead of a liquid fertilizer,
spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at the rate of
12-15 lbs. per 100 gallons of spray solution.
Note: Fertilizer solution is not required in PURSUIT DG
applications in use areas south of Interstate highway 40,
except in the states of Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Packages Directly into Spray Tanks
Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve
in water. Agitation may be used, if necessary, to help dis-
solve the WSP . Failure to follow handling and mixing
instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide
products in WSPs. WSPs, when used properly, qualify as a
closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Work-
er Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)].
Handling Instructions
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in
WSPs.
1. Mix in spray tank only.
2. Handle WSP(s) in a manner that protects package from
breakage and/or unintended release of contents. If
package is broken, put on PPE required for clean-up
and then continue with mixing instructions.
3. Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before
use.
4. Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label
instructions for PPE.
6. Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP .
7. Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused
WSP(s).
Mixing Instructions
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including
if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank
mixed, the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take
precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank
mix products. WSPs may, in some cases, be mixed with
other pesticide products so long as the directions for use
of all mixed products do not conflict. DO NOT tank mix
this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or
have conflicting mixing directions.
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch,
remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-
half of the desired final volume of spray.
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
4. Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
5. DO NOT spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or
dissolve the WSP(s).
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the
bottom of tank without using any overhead recirculation,
if possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned
off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
7. Dissolving the WSP(s) may take up to 5 minutes or lon-
ger, depending on water temperature, water hardness
and intensity of agitation.
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid con-
tact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSPs
have fully dissolved and the contents have been thor-
oughly mixed into the solution.
10. DO NOT add other allowed products or complete fill-
ing the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and
pesticide is thoroughly mixed.
11. Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other prod-
ucts have been added to the tank, resume filling the
tank with water to the desired level, close the tank lid,
and resume agitation.
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during
transport and application.
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including
WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
If PURSUIT DG is applied in liquid fertilizer as a carrier,
PURSUIT DG must first be dissolved in a water slurry.
DO NOT add PURSUIT DG ECO-PAK packets directly
into liquid fertilizer.
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used
for PURSUIT DG applications must be drained and thor-
oughly cleaned with water before being used to apply
other products.
When PURSUIT DG is used in combination with another
herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of
application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions and
precautions. Always use in accordance with the more restric-
tive label restrictions and precautions. No label dosages
should be exceeded. PURSUIT DG cannot be mixed with
any product containing a label prohibiting such mixtures.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT apply when wind velocity is greater than 15 mph,
or when spray may be carried to sensitive crops. Sensitive
8
crops include, but are not limited to, leafy vegetables and
sugar beets.
GROUND APPLICATIONS
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment
in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure
of 20 to 40 psi is recommended.
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gal-
lons of water per acre when applying PURSUIT
® DG
herbicide to minimum or no-till crops. Use higher gal-
lonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop
residues. Adjust the boom height to ensure proper cover-
age of weed foliage (according to the manufacturers
recommendation and SPRAY DRIFT restrictions in this
label). Use only flat-fan nozzle tips for postemergence
applications.
Avoid overlaps when spraying.
PURSUIT DG APPLICATIONS WITH A
LOW VOLUME SPRAYER
PURSUIT DG may be applied to soybeans with a low vol-
ume (Spra-Coupe
®-type) sprayer. When applying
PURSUIT DG with a low volume sprayer, spray the weeds
before they reach the maximum size listed in this label.
Adequate control of weeds is dependent upon good spray
coverage of the weeds. The sprayer must be calibrated to
deliver the recommended spray volume and pressure to
ensure adequate spray coverage of the weeds.
When applying PURSUIT DG with a low volume sprayer,
apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of spray solution
with a nozzle pressure between 40-60 psi for optimum
coverage. When spraying combinations including Banvel
®
or dicamba-containing products on CLEARFIELD ® corn,
do not exceed 40 psi sprayer pressure.
AERIAL APPLICATION
PURSUIT DG may be applied by air to crops listed in this
label unless otherwise noted.
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment
in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. When applied
POSTEMERGENCE, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant
AND fertilizer solution are required for optimum weed con-
trol. Apply a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 1 quart per
100 gallons of spray solution OR a crop oil concentrate at
the rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution
AND a liquid fertilizer at the rate of 1.25 gallons per
100 gallons of spray solution. (See instructions under
APPLICATION INFORMATION - POSTEMERGENCE ).
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsi-
bility of the applicator. The interaction of many
equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the
potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are
responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions.
SENSITIVE AREAS
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for
drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bod-
ies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered
species, or non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is
blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which
results from spraying PURSUIT DG in a manner other
than recommended in this label. In addition, applicator
must follow all applicable state and local regulations and
ordinances in regard to spraying.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
POSTEMERGENCE
PURSUIT DG is effective in controlling weeds in conser-
vation tillage as well as in conventional production
systems. Apply PURSUIT DG as an early postemer-
gence treatment when weeds are actively growing
and before they exceed a height of 3 inches, unless
otherwise indicated. Delay application until the majority
of the weeds are at the recommended growth stage.
Application timing should be based on weed size and not
crop growth stage. Apply PURSUIT DG to crops and
weeds that are actively growing.
An adjuvant (either a crop oil concentrate or a surfactant)
and a nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray
solution for optimum weed control activity. See the
ADJUVANTS section under MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
for specific instructions.
When PURSUIT DG is applied postemergence, absorp-
tion will occur through both the roots and foliage.
Susceptible weeds stop growing and either die or are not
competitive with the crop. PURSUIT DG not only controls
many existing broadleaf and grass weeds when applied
postemergence, it also provides control of susceptible
weeds that may emerge after application.
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7 - 10 days following
a postemergence PURSUIT DG application. This timely
cultivation will enhance residual weed control, especially
under dry conditions.
PURSUIT DG is rainfast one hour after application.
Unusually cool temperatures (50° F or less) reduce photo-
synthesis and transpiration and thus reduce uptake,
translocation, and efficacy of PURSUIT DG in weeds.
Delaying a PURSUIT DG application for 48 hours from the
time the temperature increases above 50° F, if air tempera-
ture has been below 50° F for 10 hours or more hours, will
improve weed control and reduce crop response.
NO-TILL/MINIMUM TILLAGE AND DOUBLE
CROP SOYBEANS
PURSUIT DG controls existing weeds and provides resid-
ual control of most weeds when applied early
postemergence to CLEARFIELD
® corn or soybeans in
no-till or minimum tillage and double crop soybean pro-
duction systems. The application may be applied either
before or after emergence of the crop. (Refer to the
WEEDS CONTROLLED POSTEMERGENCE chart for
weeds controlled and recommended weed size).
9
If PURSUIT® DG herbicide is applied prior to emergence
of the crop, and weeds exceed the recommended size, a
contact herbicide should be added to PURSUIT DG to
enhance control. (See instructions for NO-TILL OR
REDUCED TILLAGE under the PREEMERGENCE section
of this label).
SOIL APPLICATIONS
PURSUIT DG provides effective weed control in conser-
vation tillage systems designed to meet conservation
compliance requirements. PURSUIT DG can be applied
as an early preplant, preplant incorporated, or pre-
emergence treatment in soybeans. It can also be applied
in conventional, minimum tillage and no-till production sys-
tems. The application method of choice will depend on the
anticipated weed spectrum and the preference of the
applicator.
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity.
Rainfall or overhead irrigation is necessary to move
PURSUIT DG into the weed germination zone. The
amount of rainfall or irrigation required following application
depends on existing soil moisture, soil texture and organic
matter content. Sufficient water to moisten the soil to a
depth of 2 inches is normally adequate. If adequate mois-
ture is not received within 7 days after treatment, a
cultivation is recommended to control escaped weeds.
When adequate moisture is received after dry conditions,
PURSUIT DG will provide residual control of susceptible
germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will
depend on the weed species and the location of its root
system in the soil.
PURSUIT DG controls weeds by uptake by weed roots
and translocation to the growing points where it stops
weed growth. Susceptible weeds may emerge, growth will
stop and the weeds will either die or are not competitive
with the crop.
SOIL APPLICATIONS WITH LIQUID FERTILIZERS
PURSUIT DG can be applied to the soil in liquid fertilizers,
alone or in combination with PROWL
® 3.3 EC® or
OUTLOOK® to soybeans or CLEARFIELD® corn. Mixtures
including trifluralin may be applied to soybeans only. Follow
all PURSUIT DG label recommendations regarding incor-
poration, timing of application, special instructions and
precautions. Apply treatments in 20 or more gallons of liq-
uid fertilizer per acre with ground equipment. Always test
the compatibility of PURSUIT DG with the liquid fertilizer
before mixing in the spray tank.
PREEMERGENCE (SURFACE APPLICATIONS)
PURSUIT DG offers flexibility in that it can be utilized in all
production tillage systems. It can be applied prior to plant-
ing (up to 45 days prior to planting); at planting in
conventional, reduced tillage or no-till production systems;
or after planting and before crop emergence.
NO-TILL OR REDUCED TILLAGE
Apply PURSUIT DG treatments before, during or after
planting. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of
20 gallons of water per acre. Use higher gallonage for
fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues.
For maximum grass control, tank-mix PURSUIT DG with
PROWL
® 3.3 EC or OUTLOOK. To kill existing vegetation,
Gramoxone® Extra, Starfire®, Roundup® Ultra or 2,4-D
(early preplant - see 2,4-D label for limitations) may be
tank-mixed with PURSUIT DG alone or in combination
with PROWL 3.3 EC, or OUTLOOK. Gramoxone Extra,
Starfire, Roundup Ultra or 2,4-D should be deleted from
the tank-mixture if vegetation is absent at the time of
application.
NOTE: Adjust planters to ensure adequate soil coverage
of seed.
PREPLANT INCORPORATED APPLICATIONS
PURSUIT DG may be applied following land preparation
and should be thoroughly incorporated to a depth of
1 to 2 inches. If crops are planted on beds, apply and
incorporate after bed formation using PTO-driven equip-
ment or a rolling cultivator. Maintain PURSUIT DG in the
surface 1 to 2 inches of the finished beds. Application may
be made up to 45 days prior to planting soybeans.
When PURSUIT DG is soil applied for control of nutsedge
in peanuts, incorporate with two passes of the incorpora-
tion implement. Make the second pass at an offset angle
to the first pass to minimize the potential for streaking.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
PURSUIT DG is effective in controlling many annual
broadleaf and grass weeds in CONSERVATION
RESERVE PROGRAMS and AGRICULTURAL
RESERVE PROGRAMS (SET-ASIDE) land seeded to
forage legume or grass crops. A PURSUIT DG application
may result in temporary reduction in growth of legumes
and grasses. Plants overcome temporary effects and
become well established due to reduced weed
competition.
DO NOT feed or graze legumes or grasses following a
PURSUIT DG application. DO NOT cut treated legumes
or grasses for hay or forage. DO NOT harvest legume seed
for livestock feed. DO NOT use seed from treated legumes
for sprouting. Apply only one application of PURSUIT DG
per year.
COVER CROPS:*
LEGUMES: Apply to forage legumes including alfalfa, clo-
vers, crownvetch, birdsfoot trefoil and lespedeza.
GRASSES: PURSUIT DG may be applied to the following
grasses: big bluestem, little bluestem, switchgrass,
Russian wildrye, intermediate wheatgrass, crested wheat-
grass, western wheatgrass, tall wheatgrass, smooth
brome, canarygrass or orchardgrass.
10
* NOTE: Cover crops may also be planted into fields
previously treated with PURSUIT® DG herbicide for
weed control in soybeans. In this case, do not make a
PURSUIT DG application to the cover crop until the fol-
lowing spring.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS OF PURSUIT DG
TO CRP COVER CROPS.
APPLICATION RATE: Apply PURSUIT DG at the rate of
1 (one) ECO-PAK soluble packet per 2 acres to be

SEEDLING ALFALFA / CLOVER
PURSUIT DG must be applied postemergence to seed-
ling alfalfa or clover. Apply PURSUIT DG when the
seedling alfalfa or clover is in the second (2nd) trifoliate
stage or larger and when the majority of the weeds are
1-3 inches. For low growing weeds (such as mustards)
apply PURSUIT DG before the rosette exceeds 3 inches.
When PURSUIT DG is applied to seedling alfalfa or clover,
there may be a temporary reduction in growth.
ESTABLISHED ALFALFA / CLOVER
PURSUIT DG can be applied to established alfalfa or clo-
ver in the fall, in the spring to dormant, or semi-dormant
alfalfa or clover (less than 3 inches of re-growth), or
between cuttings. Any application should be made before
significant alfalfa or clover growth or re-growth (3 inches)
to allow PURSUIT DG to reach the target weeds.
Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously
treated with PURSUIT DG, do not plant alfalfa or clover
for 4 months following a PURSUIT DG application. Refer
to the ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINE section on this
label for plant-back interval of various crops.
PRE-HARVEST INTERVAL
Do not feed, graze or harvest alfalfa or clover for 30 days
following an application of PURSUIT DG to alfalfa or
clover.

control.
** PURSUIT DG controls emerged woolly cupgrass only.
*** Quackgrass will be suppressed only when actively growing and
before it exceeds 7 inches in height.
TANK MIX COMBINATIONS WITH
OTHER HERBICIDES
To control weeds not listed on the PURSUIT DG label,
herbicides such as Buctril ®, 2,4-DB, Poast®, Poast Plus®,
Prism® or Select® may be tankmixed with PURSUIT DG.
When PURSUIT DG is used in combination with another
herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of
application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions
and precautions. Always use in accordance with the more
restrictive label restrictions and precautions. No label dos-
ages should be exceeded.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
PURSUIT DG is effective in controlling a broad spectrum
of broadleaf and grass weeds. Alfalfa and clover are toler-
ant to postemergence applications of PURSUIT DG after
the second trifoliate leaf has expanded. Minor height
reduction or slight leaf yellowing may occur soon after
application.
Apply PURSUIT DG as an early postemergence treatment
when the weeds are actively growing. Weeds are generally
easier to control before they exceed 3 inches in height.
Weeds under stress are less susceptible to control in cold
or drought stress conditions.
If applied to alfalfa or clover under cool conditions (40° F or
less), temporary stunting and yellowing of the crop may
occur.
STAND ESTABLISHMENT
Apply PURSUIT DG after the alfalfa or clover has 2 fully
expanded trifoliate leaves. Weeds must not exceed the
size listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED tables.
PURSUIT DG may be applied to summer, fall or spring
seeded alfalfa and clover.
Inter-seeded Oats
Oats inter-seeded with alfalfa or clover will reduce soil ero-
sion and allow the alfalfa or clover to establish. Oats,
however can compete with the alfalfa and clover. An appli-
cation of PURSUIT DG will kill or significantly reduce the
growth of the oats and allow the alfalfa or clover to estab-
lish with minimal erosion or competition from the oats.
Apply PURSUIT DG to the oats when the oats have
3-4 leaves.
ESTABLISHED ALFALFA / CLOVER - DORMANT
PURSUIT DG may be applied to dormant alfalfa or clover
in the fall following the last cutting. PURSUIT DG may also
be applied in the spring to dormant alfalfa or clover, or as
alfalfa or clover breaks dormancy. Apply spring treatments
prior to excessive alfalfa or clover growth (less than 3 inch-
es), to reduce spray interference.
ESTABLISHED ALFALFA / CLOVER - GROWING
For weed control during the season, apply PURSUIT DG
following alfalfa or clover cutting. Remove the hay from the
field and apply PURSUIT DG prior to excessive alfalfa or
clover regrowth.
Perennial Grass Suppression
If perennial grasses (such as orchardgrass, fescues,
bromes or timothy) are present in an alfalfa or clover stand,
PURSUIT DG will reduce the growth and competitive
effect of the grass.

DO NOT use crop oil concentrates as adjuvants in
PURSUIT DG combinations with Buctril.
PURSUIT DG is active against many broadleaf and grass
species. However, for long term weed management, alternate
mode of action herbicides are recommended with PUR-
SUIT DG. The application of a soil applied grass herbicide
underlay will control grass weeds not on the PURSUIT DG
herbicide label and enhance the control of certain broadleaf
weeds such as common lambsquarters.
When PURSUIT
® DG herbicide is used in combination
with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates,
methods of application, proper timing, weeds controlled,
restrictions and precautions. Always use in accordance with
the more restrictive label restrictions and precautions. No
label dosages should be exceeded. PURSUIT DG cannot be
mixed with any product containing a label prohibiting such
mixtures.
1 If Accent is used in combination with PURSUIT DG on Pioneer
imidazolinone-resistant (IR) corn, any registered soil insecticide
applications may be used.
If PURSUIT DG plus Accent tank-mixes are used on imidazolinone-
tolerant (IT) hybrids, DO NOT use COUNTER
® 15G. Other registered
organophosphate insecticides such as COUNTER ® CR (banded
applications only) or THIMET ® or other registered carbamate or
pyrethroid insecticides may be used when PURSUIT DG plus Accent
tankmixes are applied to IT corn hybrids.
* In some cases the grass activity of PURSUIT DG will be reduced
when used in combination with atrazine, Buctril, Banvel, Basagran,
Clarity, or Marksman.
** Some corn leaf burn may result with Buctril or atrazine
postemergence combinations with PURSUIT DG.
*** Applications of Banvel or Clarity herbicide to corn during periods of
rapid growth may result in temporary leaning.

DO NOT incorporate deeper than 3 inches.
In no-till and minimum tillages systems,
PURSUIT DG may be applied in the fall prior to
spring planting. Rainfall is required for incorpora-
tion and activation. Unpredictable weed control can
be expected since factors such as length of time
between application and planting as well as uncon-
trollable weather factors will determine herbicide
activity and longevity. Apply PURSUIT DG in the fall
when soil temperature at the 4-inch depth is less
than 55° F and before the ground is frozen.

“AT CRACK” APPLICATION refers to the time when the soil
cracks due to the emerging peanut seedling. This general-
ly occurs from 10 to 14 days following planting. At this time
weeds have generally not germinated, or are in the seed-
ling stage. If weeds have more than 2 true leaves, refer to
the POSTEMERGENCE weed control column for weeds
controlled.
In West Texas and New Mexico, wait until late cracking
(most of the peanuts have emerged) before applying
PURSUIT DG.
PURSUIT DG is active against many broadleaf and grass
species. However, when heavy grass or common
lambsquarters pressure is anticipated, PURSUIT DG
should be used in combination with a registered soil-applied
grass herbicide (See HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS section).
WEEDS CONTROLLED BY SEQUENTIAL APPLICA-
TIONS OF PURSUIT DG
The sequential (split) application of PURSUIT DG consists
of an application of 0.72 ounces of product soil applied
(either preplant incorporated or preemergence) followed by
0.72 ounces applied either at ground-crack or
postemergence.
When applied as a sequential treatment, PURSUIT DG
will control the weeds listed under the "SOIL APPLIED"
and "AT-CRACK" applications in the BROADLEAF WEEDS
and GRASS WEEDS tables (in the peanut section of the
label). It enhances the control of yellow and purple nut-
sedge. Apply the second application before the nutsedge
exceeds 3 leaves.

A selective postemergence grass herbicide such as Poast ® Plus, BugleTM or Whip® may be mixed with PURSUIT DG to
control grasses not controlled by PURSUIT DG. In some cases the activity of the grass herbicide may be reduced when
mixed with PURSUIT DG. The reduction in activity may be overcome by delaying the application of the postemergence
grass herbicide 7 days following the application of PURSUIT DG. If the postemergence grass herbicide is applied first,
wait 3 days before applying PURSUIT DG. Refer to the respective grass herbicide label for recommended application
rate, weed size and restrictions.
BROADLEAF WEEDS
Broadleaf herbicides that can be tank-mixed with
PURSUIT DG include Basagran® and Ultra Blazer®, Starfire®
and 2,4-DB. Certain herbicides should not be applied with
PURSUIT DG (see PRECAUTIONS section for restrictions).
For the control of sicklepod, morningglories, prickly sida and
common ragweed, add 2,4-DB to the PURSUIT DG spray
mixture. For the control of Florida beggarweed, add Starfire
to the spray mixture. Refer to the 2,4-DB or Starfire label for
specific directions for use, application rates and restrictions.
PURSUIT DG may also be applied postemergence in
tank-mixture with Bravo

** PURSUIT DG is active against many broadleaf and grass species.
However, when heavy grass or common lambsquarters pressure is
anticipated, PURSUIT DG should be used in combination with a
registered soil-applied grass herbicide (such as PROWL herbicide) for
optimum control (See HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS section).
*** PURSUIT DG only controls emerged woolly cupgrass

The addition of POAST PLUS herbicide to PURSUIT DG
enhances the grass control, especially when heavy infesta-
tions of grass exist. It also provides control of grasses not
controlled by PURSUIT DG. In some cases the activity of
POAST PLUS may be reduced when mixed with
PURSUIT DG. The reduction in activity may be overcome
by delaying the application of POAST PLUS herbicide
7 days following the application of PURSUIT DG. If
POAST PLUS is applied first, wait 3 days before applying
PURSUIT DG.
For optimum control, apply the tank mixture to actively
growing weeds at the sizes indicated in the table above,
(for sequential applications refer to application rates and
weeds sizes indicated in the PURSUIT DG and POAST
PLUS labels). Refer to the POAST PLUS label for additional
information regarding application rates, restrictions, pre-
cautions, weeds controlled, adjuvants recommended and
other information.

® GT For Enhanced Control
of Common Lambsquarters.
For optimal weed control management, apply a soil
applied grass herbicide such as PROWL®, TRI-4®, or
Trifluralin followed by PURSUIT DG postemergence. If
common lambsquarters are not adequately controlled by
the soil applied treatment, Harmony GT herbicide may be
tank-mixed with PURSUIT DG for additional activity.
The addition of Harmony GT herbicide to PURSUIT DG
may cause severe injury and/or stunting to soybeans,
especially when applied under hot, humid conditions. The
USER ASSUMES ALL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES
associated with applications of this tank-mixture to
soybeans.

** Following forty months after a PURSUIT DG application, and before
planting any crop not listed elsewhere in the ROTATIONAL CROP
GUIDELINE, a successful field bioa ssay must be completed. The field
bioassay consists of a test strip of the intended rotational crop
planted across the previously treated field and grown to maturity. The
test strip should include low areas and knolls, and include variations
in soil such as type and pH. If no crop injury is evident in the test strip,
the intended rotational crop may be planted the following year.
Sugarbeet production can be reduced when grown in soil conditions
with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to
planting rotational crops not listed in the ROTATIONAL CROP
GUIDELINE, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the
rotational crop.
Use of PURSUIT DG in accordance with label directions
is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in
most situations; however, various environmental and agro-
nomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with the use of this product and, therefore,
rotational crop injury is always possible.
EXCEPTIONS TO
ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS
Barley: (States of Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky,
Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vir-
ginia only). Barley may be planted 4 months following a
PURSUIT DG application in these states.
CLEARFIELD
® canola: CLEARFIELD varieties of canola,
such as Pioneer 45A71 and Pioneer 46A76, may be plant-
ed as a rotational crop the next season after an application
of PURSUIT DG herbicide at label rates on registered
crops.
Corn inbred lines: Corn inbred seed lines may be plant-
ed the year following an application of PURSUIT DG.
Several seed companies have tested a wide range of
inbreds for sensitivity to PURSUIT DG soil residues and
have reported good crop safety. However, due to the pro-
prietary nature of seed production, BASF has not been
given access to the inbred data. Growers are directed to
contact the seed company for information and recommen-
dations regarding the planting of corn grown for seed in
fields treated with PURSUIT DG the previous year. Since
growing conditions, environmental conditions and grower
practices are beyond the control of BASF, all risks and
consequences associated with planting seed corn inbreds
into fields treated previously with PURSUIT DG shall be
assumed by the user.
27
Sweet corn and popcorn varieties: (States of Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee , and
Wisconsin only). Sweet corn and popcorn varieties may
be planted the year following an application of
PURSUIT
® DG herbicide. Some sweet corn and pop-
corn varieties may be injured when planted at less than
18 months following an application of PURSUIT DG herbi-
cide. Before planting sweet corn for processing, contact
the processor company for information and recommenda-
tions regarding the tolerance of sweet corn varieties
planned for fields treated with PURSUIT DG the previous
year. DO NOT plant fresh market sweet corn varieties prior
to 18 months after PURSUIT DG use. Before planting
popcorn, contact the popcorn company for information
and recommendations regarding the tolerance of popcorn
varieties planned for fields treated with PURSUIT DG the
previous year.
Since growing conditions, environmental conditions and
grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, ALL
RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
PLANTING SWEET CORN OR POPCORN VARIETIES
INTO FIELDS TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH
PURSUIT DG SHALL BE ASSUMED BY THE USER.

PRECAUTIONS
CLEARFIELD CORN
There should be an interval of at least 45 days between an
application of PURSUIT DG and corn harvest (silage, fod-
der, or grain). DO NOT graze or feed treated corn forage,
silage, fodder, or grain for at least 45 days after an applica-
tion of PURSUIT DG.
All soil insecticides, including labeled banded or in-furrow
applications, may be used in combination with Pioneer
imidazolinone resistant (IR) corn hybrids.
Imidazolinone tolerant hybrids from other seed companies
may occasionally exhibit injury symptoms when soil insec-
ticides are used in combination with PURSUIT DG.
DO NOT USE COUNTER
® 15G systemic insecticide-
nematicide in-furrow with imidazolinone tolerant corn
hybrids. Other registered organophosphate insecticides
such as banded applications of COUNTER
® 15G,
COUNTER CR® or THIMET® soil and systemic insecticide,
or in-furrow applications of COUNTER CR or other regis-
tered carbamate or pyrethroid insecticides may be used in
combination with PURSUIT DG applications. BASF has
not tested all hybrids in which the imidazolinone tolerance
trait is claimed and cannot be responsible for factors which
are beyond its control, such as growing conditions, envi-
ronmental conditions, grower practices and the specific
genetics of each hybrid tolerance to PURSUIT DG and
insecticide applications.
NON-GRASS ANIMAL FEEDS
(ALFALFA AND CLOVER)
Do not feed, graze or harvest alfalfa or clover for 30 days
following an application of PURSUIT DG to alfalfa or
clover.
SOYBEANS
If soybeans are furrow irrigated, till the soil prior to planting
winter wheat or barley. The beds should be broken up and
the soil mixed with tillage equipment set to cut 4-6 inches
deep.
There should be an interval of at least 85 days between an
application of PURSUIT DG and soybean harvest.
28
PURSUIT® DG herbicide applications should be made
before soybean bloom.
Do not graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay or straw
to livestock.
DO NOT tank-mix PURSUIT DG with clomazone contain-
ing herbicides (Command®). PURSUIT DG may be
applied postemergence following a soil application of
Command.
PEANUTS
Do not graze or feed treated peanut forage, vines, hay or
straw to livestock.
There should be an interval of at least 85 days between an
application of PURSUIT DG and peanut harvest.
