|
||
|
||
|
||
ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENT
|
||
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements
|
||
listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR Part 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
|
||
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
|
||
Terrestrial Use
|
||
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 water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
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 groundwater. Tribenuron-methyl is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via
|
||
runoff 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 potential loading of tribenuron-
|
||
methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
|
||
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
|
||
LUXXUR A Herbicide has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually
|
||
|
||
3
|
||
|
||
have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affect the
|
||
movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall,
|
||
and drainage patterns. Avoid applying LUXXUR A Herbicide if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in
|
||
offsite movement.
|
||
|
||
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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
LUXXUR A HERBICIDE:
|
||
x provides control of certain broad-leaved weeds in wheat (spr ing, winter and durum). Warm, moist, growing conditions promote
|
||
active weed growth and enhance the activity of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact
|
||
activity. Weeds hardened off by environmental stress such as cold weather, drought stress or excessive heat may not be
|
||
adequately controlled or suppressed, and regrowth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target
|
||
weeds.
|
||
x Rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds through absorption of the foliage. However, typical symptoms (discoloration) of
|
||
dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed
|
||
susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing
|
||
conditions. Activity of the herbicide mixture may be delayed by cold, dry conditions after application.
|
||
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend,o r
|
||
in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
|
||
x Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, or mixing/loading station.
|
||
x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE to wheat that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-
|
||
saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf
|
||
stage. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
|
||
x Do not store pesticides near well sites.
|
||
x Do not apply to wheat underseeded with another crop.
|
||
x Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Do not harvest within 45 days of the last application.
|
||
x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been
|
||
applied as an in-furrow treatment because crop injury may result.
|
||
x Do not use LUXXUR A HERBICIDE plus Malathion because crop injury may result.
|
||
x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE by air in the state of New York.
|
||
x LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is not for us e in the state of California.
|
||
|
||
Grazing, Feeding, and Harvesting
|
||
x Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage.
|
||
x Allow at least 7 days between application and feeding of forage (green chop) from treated areas to livestock.
|

USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
x Injury or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas
|
||
x Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may damag e
|
||
crops other than those listed on this label.
|
||
x Varieties of wheat (including durum) may differ in their response to various herbicides. Consult your state experiment
|
||
station,university, or extension agent as to crop sensitivity of any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to
|
||
a small area.
|
||
x Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to
|
||
or soon after LUXXUR A HERBICIDE application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur.
|
||
x Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
x Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from well sites.
|
||
x Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
x Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
x Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
|
||
x Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
x Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses.
|
||
x When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
|
||
height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
|
||
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
|
||
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
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 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.
|
||
x 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).
|
||
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
ADVISORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
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
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
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 ft 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.
|
||
|
||
RUNOFF PREVENTION
|
||
To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface
|
||
waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind
|
||
or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will
|
||
help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
|
||
naturally resistant to LUXXUR A HERBICIDE and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population
|
||
if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE 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.
|
||
x 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
|
||
the 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.
|
||
x 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 crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possibl e
|
||
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 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
|
||
You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

Tank Mix Instructions
|
||
For control of weeds not listed on this label, Luxxur A Herbicide may be mixed with other herbicides with the exception of dicamba
|
||
containing products. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the
|
||
intended use. Read and follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Tank Mixtures for Disease Control
|
||
x This product may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on wheat.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Insect Control
|
||
x LUXXUR A HERBICIDE may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on wheat. However,
|
||
under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE with
|
||
organophosphate insecticides (such as Lorsban) may producte temporary crop yellowing, or, in severe cases, crop injury. The
|
||
potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to or soon after
|
||
application. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
x Do not apply LUXXUR A HERBICIDE within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been
|
||
applied as an in-furrow treatment as crop injury may result.
|
||
x Do not use LUXXUR A HERBICIDE with malathion because crop injury may result.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Add one-third of the necessary volume of water to the spray tank.
|
||
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE. Ensure that the herbicide is completely dissolved
|
||
before adding other components of the tank mix.
|
||
3. When LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is completely dissolved, add the required amount of the appropriate tank mix partners.
|
||
4. Specific Tank Mix Instructions :
|
||
LUXXUR A HERBICIDE + LUXXUR B HERBICIDE: once LUXXUR A HERBICIDE is completely dissolved, add the required
|
||
amount of LUXXUR B HERBICIDE, then add required amount of non-ionic surfactant or ammonium sulphate last.
|
||
5. Add the rest of the water. If an antifoam agent is required, add this last.
|
||
6. Use a minimum spray volume of 5 GPA for aerial and 10 GPA for ground applications.
|
||
7. Fill tank with fresh water as described in step 1, and continue as directed. Emulsifiable concentrates may make it more difficult to
|
||
dissolve LUXXUR A HERBICIDE
|
||
8. If the spray preparation is left standing without agitation, thoroughly agitate to resuspend the tank mixture before spraying. Use
|
||
spray preparation of LUXXUR A HERBICIDE Tank Mix within 24 hours or product degradation may occur.
