DO application to chickpeas/garbanzo beans. Since crop maturity may be delayed, timing of harvest ~ay need:t;': ..
be adjusted accordingly.
DO NOT apply PURSUIT W DO if planting is delayed and chance of frost prior to maturity is likely'. . ..
DO NOT apply PURSUIT W DO if cold and/or wet conditions are present or predicted to occur within one week
of application. If applied under cool conditions (40° or less), temporary stunting and yellowing of the chickpeas
may occur.
USE PURSUIT W DG ONLY if proper agronomic practices have been utilized, including good soil fertility,
proper crop rotation, disease and insect management and tillage practices that eliminate compaction and hardpans.
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 through any type of irrigation system. This labeling must be in the possession of the user at the time of

or up to 3 days after planting, prior to crop emergence. PURSUIT W DO may be applied in a tank-mix with a
registered grass herbicide or applied preemergence following a preplant incorporated application of a registered
grass herbicide.

ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINE (continued)
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 plante~ tbe 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 ROT A TlQHA.L CROP
GUIDELINE, apply the lime at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop.
In the event of a crop loss, garbanzo beans, chickpeas, CLEARFIELD com seed hybrids, peanuts, or soybeans may
be replanted.
DO NOT feed treated forage, hay, or straw to livestock.
EXCEPTIONS TO ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINE
Sweet corn and popcorn varieties: Sweet com and popcorn varieties may be planted the year following an
application of PURSUIT W DG. Some sweet com and popcorn varieties may be injured when planted at less than
18 months following an application of PURSUIT W DG herbicide. Before planting sweet com for processing,
contact the processor company for information and recommendations regarding the tolerance of sweet com
varieties planned for fields treated with PURSUIT W DG the previous year. DO NOT plant fresh market sweet
com varieties prior to 18 months after PURSUIT W 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 W DG the previous year. Since growing conditions, environmental conditions and grower
practices are beyond the control of BASF Corporation, ALL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED
WITH PLANTING SWEET CORN OR POPCORN VARIETIES INTO FIELDS TREATED
PREVIOUSLY WITH PURSUIT W DG SHALL BE ASSUMED BY THE USER.
Stunting and maturity delay or other adverse effects may result when sweet com or popcorn are planted following
PURSUIT W DG use.
Corn inbred lines: Com inbred seed lines may be planted the year following an application of PURSUIT W DG.
Several seed companies have tested a wide range of inbreds for sensitivity to PURSUIT W DG soil residues and
have reported good crop safety. However, due to the proprietary nature of seed production, BASF Corporation
has not been given access to the inbred data. Growers are directed to contact the seed company for information
and recommendations regarding the planting of com grown for seed in fields treated with PURSUIT W DG the
previous year. Since growing conditions, environmental conditions and grower practices are beyond the control of
BASF Corporation, ALL RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTING SEED CORN
INBREDS INTO FIELDS TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH PURSUIT W DG SHALL BE ASSUMED BY
