ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate any body of water and do not apply when/where conditions could
favor runoff. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Do not allow sprays to
drift onto desirable plants. Drift or runoff may adversely affect non-target plants.
Ground Water Advisory:
Pyrasulfotole is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in
areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.
Surface Water Advisories:
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for several months or
more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this
product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such
as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.

USE INFORMATION
Wolverine™ Herbicide is designed for broad spectrum postemergence control of important grass and broadl^af weed species in wheat
(including durum wheat) and barley.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
Wolverine Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide and best results are obtained when applications are made to young actively growing
weeds. Wolverine Herbicide is primarily absorbed through the foliage and thorough spray coverage is important.
CROPS
Wolverine Herbicide may be used in wheat, including durum and barley.
APPLICATION TIMING
Wheat
Apply Wolverine Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to 60 days prior to harvest in the states of Minnesota, Montana, North
Dakota, and South Dakota, 70 days prior to harvest in other states.
Barley
Apply Wolverine Herbicide to the crop from emergence up to the 5-leaf stage.
Weed Application Timing
Grass Weeds: Wolverine Herbicide has no effect via the soil on grass weeds and will only control emerged grass weeds. Wolverine
Herbicide when applied as directed will control the annual grass weeds listed in GRASS WEED CHART.
Wolverine Herbicide will control susceptible grass weeds in the 1-leaf (fully expanded) to 2-tiller stage of growth. Blackgrass can be
controlled over a wide range of growth stages, from the 1-leaf (fully expanded) through the advanced tillering stage. Windgrass will be
controlled from emergence to a height of 3 inches.
Broadleaf Weeds: See BROADLEAF WEED CHART for a list of susceptible weed species and maximum stage of growth at application
for best results.
APPLICATION DOSAGE and METHODS
Dosage: One case will treat 20 acres at 1.7 pt/A. Do not use less than the 1.7 pt/A unless directed by a Bayer CropScience
representative.
c
Ground Application
Properly calibrated ground application equipment may be used to apply Wolverine Herbicide postemergence as a foliar spray. Select
spray nozzles that provide best spray distribution and weed coverage at the appropriate spray pressure. Ground speed for application
should not exceed 10 mph. Avoid uneven spray distribution, skips, overlaps, and spray drift.
Apply the appropriate dosage broadcast in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. Under conditions where large grass weeds or dense
weed populations are present or adverse environmental conditions exist, a greater spray volume of 15 - 20 gallons of spray solution per
acre is required for best weed control. DO NOT apply with hollow cone type nozzles or other nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray.
Use nozzles and spray pressure for ground application that deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer's
catalogs such as 80-degree or 110-degree flat-fan nozzles in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572 for optimum spray coverage and
canopy penetration. Use screens that are 50 mesh or larger.
Do not use flood-jet nozzles or cone nozzles. Nozzle types, nozzle spacings and lower spray pressures that produce coarse spray
droplets may not provide adequate coverage of the weeds to ensure optimum control.
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of Wolverine Herbicide.
Aerial Application: Calibrate aerial (fixed wing or helicopter) spray equipment prior to use. Wolverine Herbicide should be applied in a
minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre if crop canopy and weed density allow adequate spray coverage.
To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's
catalogs and in accordance with ASAE standard S-572. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles.
Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with low drift nozzles. Avoid
application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
WEED CONTROL DIRECTIONS
Wolverine Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide and best results are obtained when applications are made to young actively growing
weeds. Treat heavy weed infestations before they become competitive with the crop. Thorough coverage of weeds is necessary to
obtain good weed control.
Postemergence application of Wolverine Herbicide will control the following grass and broadleaf weeds.
Grass Weed Chart
Wolverine Herbicide will control susceptible grass weeds in the 1-leaf (fully expanded) to 2-tiller stage of growth. Blackgrass can be
controlled over a wide range of growth stages, from the 1-leaf (fully expanded) through the advanced tillering stage. Windgrass will be
controlled from emergence to a height of 3 inches. Applications should be made to young, vigorously growing weeds.

MOISTURE EFFECTS ON ANNUAL GRASS WEED CONTROL
The following conditions will result in optimum wild oat control:
\. Adequate soil moisture which occurs under normal rainfall in wheat or barley following a fallow year.
2. Temperatures lower than 85° F for several days prior to application.
Low soil moisture levels, low humidity, and high temperatures prior, during or following application may reduce wild oat and foxtail
control provided by Wolverine Herbicide.
Foxtail under drought stress will exhibit rolled leaves ("onion leaf) and should not be sprayed as poor control may result. Apply
Wolverine Herbicide when conditions improve.

TANK MIX INSTRUCTIONS
Compatibility Testing With Tank Mix Partners
If Wolverine Herbicide is to be tank mixed with other pesticides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing. To test for compatibility,
use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If
any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear
within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each tank-mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for
use, geographic and other restrictions.
Tank mixtures For Insect Control
Wolverine Herbicide may be tank mixed with Baythroid® XL, Mustang Max™, or Warrior® insecticides providing proper timing for insect
and weed control are the same.
Tank mixtures For Disease Control
Fungicides such as Stratego®, Tilt®, Headline®, mancozeb (Dithane F-45®; Manzate* 75DF; Penncozeb® 75DF), or Topsin® M may be
tank mixed with Wolverine Herbicide when timing for application of each tank mix partner is the same for the use site. Do not apply
Wolverine Herbicide in tank mixture with tebuconazole.
Tank mix applications of herbicides with fungicides may cause temporary yellowing, leaf burn and or height reduction of the crop. Refer
to the specific fungicide label for use directions, application rates, restrictions and a list of diseases controlled.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Wolverine Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding Wolverine Herbicide to the spray
tank, ensure that the spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned. In-line strainers and nozzle screens should be 50
mesh or coarser.
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 full with clean water then add AMS or DAN and begin agitation or bypass.
2. Add the appropriate rate of Wolverine Herbicide directly to the spray tank. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and
application.
3. Add a listed tank mix partner, if desired.
4. Add surfactant if desired.
5. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed.
6. Continue agitation during Wolverine Herbicide application to ensure uniform spray coverage.
TANK CLEANUP PROCEDURE
1. Drain the tank completely, and then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of 1% (i.e., 1 gallon of
domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Complete filling of the tank with water. Agitate/recirculate and'flush through
boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
3. Repeat step 2.
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1 % ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and remove visible residues.
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat step 2.
°(\n.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Wolverine Herbicide is not volatile. Damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift. Spray drift can be managed by
several application factors and by spraying under the appropriate climatic conditions. Consequently, avoidance of spray drift is the
responsibility of the applicator and grower.
SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away
from the sensitive areas).
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and grower. 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.
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be
damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural
field crops.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. All ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE:
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets
reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions below).
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer's catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver
coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of
weeds.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces
larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other
orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift
potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets
and the lowest drift.
BOOM LENGTH:
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan may further reduce drift without reducing
swath width.
APPLICATION HEIGHT:
For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. Making applications at
the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
WIND:
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high
inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to
application.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY:
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high
temperatures.
r
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS:
Do not make ground applications into areas of temperature inversions because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict
vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets
and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also
be identified 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.
CROP ROTATION GUIDELINES
Wolverine Herbicide breakdown in the soil is due mainly to microbial action. Under adverse conditions such as cold and drought,
degradation may be slowed.
• 1 Month: Wheat, Barley, Oats, Rye and Triticale
• 4 Months: Alfalfa*, Millet, Sorghum (grain) and Soybeans
• 9 Months: Canola, Canaryseed, Chickpeas, Corn, Drybeans, Flax, Field peas**, Lentils***, Mustards, Potatoes, Safflower,
Sunflowers, and Sugarbeets.
• Thorough tillage prior to planting alfalfa and a minimum of 12 inches of rainfall, overhead, furrow or flood irrigation or any combination
of these water sources totaling 12 inches is required between the time following a Wolverine Herbicide application and the time of alfalfa
seeding.
** Field peas: 9 months for all states except 18 months in MT.
*** Lentils: 9 months for all states except 18 months in MN, MT, ND and SD.
Where a crop is not specified, conduct a field bioassay as described in "FIELD BIOASSAY" section of this label.
FIELD BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be conducted for crops not listed on this label. To conduct a field bioassay, plant strips of the crop you want to
grow the season following Wolverine Herbicide application. Monitor the crop for response to Wolverine Herbicide to determine if the
crop can be grown safely in previously treated Wolverine Herbicide areas. Do not plant any rotational crops within 30 days following
Wolverine Herbicide application.
WEED RESISTANCE
Wolverine Herbicide contains active ingredients which inhibit ACC-ase, photosynthesis and the HPPD enzyme systems. Wolverine
Herbicide may be an effective tool in the management of broadleaf weed populations containing resistance to ALS, phenoxy or
glyphosate herbicide modes of action. Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action allows resistant weeds to spread. To
manage the spread of resistant weed populations, use herbicides with different modes of action in tankmixture, rotation, or in
conjunction with alternate cultural practices.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
• Do not apply to crops undersown with legume species.
• Rainfall within 1 hour may result in reduced weed control.
• Apply to actively growing weeds. Weed control may be reduced when weeds are under stress due to severe weather conditions,
drought, very cold temperatures, etc. Weed control may be reduced if the herbicide applications is made under dry, dusty
conditions - especially in the wheel track areas. Ground speed for application should not exceed 10 mph.
• Tank mix applications of herbicides with fungicides may cause temporary yellowing, leaf burn and or height reduction of the crop.
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE
« Do not apply more than 1.7 pt/A per season.
• Do not make more than one application of Wolverine Herbicide per season.
• Do not apply Wolverine Herbicide in tank mixture with tebuconazole.
• Do not graze or harvest barley forage within 25 days, harvest barley grain and straw within 57 days after application.
• Do not graze or harvest wheat forage within 25 days, harvest wheat grain and straw within 60 days after application in the states of
Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, within 70 days after application in other states.
