ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal area s
below the mean high water mark. Do not co ntaminate any body of water and do no t apply when or where conditions could
favor runoff. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of equipment wash waters or rinsate. Do not
allow sprays to drift onto desirable plants. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms and non-target plants.
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 ground water. This product is classified as having a medium potential for reaching both surface water and
aquatic sediment via runoff for several months or more 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 pyrasulfotole from runoff water and se diment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
GROUND WATER ADVISORY
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Users are advised not to apply pyrasulfotole where soils have a rapid to very rapid permeability (such as loamy sand to
sand) and the water table of an underlying aquifer is shallow or to soils containing sinkholes over limestone bedrock, severely
fractured surfaces, and substrates which would allow direct introduction into an aquifer. Your local agricultural agencies can
provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.
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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions
intended to minimize spray drift.
REPORTING ECOLOGICAL INCIDENTS

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Huskie FX Herbicide contains a Group 4-fluroxypyr, a Group 6-bromoxynil and a Group 27-pyrasulfotole herbicide. Any weed
population could contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4-fluroxypyr, a Group 6-bromoxynil and a Group 27-pyrasulfotole
herbicides. The resistant individuals could dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same
fields. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
6
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Huskie FX Herbicide or other Group 4- fluroxypyr, Group 6-bromoxynil and Group 27-pyrasulfotole
herbicide within a growing season sequence or among growin g 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 part ner. Consult your local extension servic e 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 us e that includes scouting and uses historical information
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that consider s tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural (
e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer applicat ion 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 population s for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of
possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
dose applied, especially if co ntrol is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a sp reading patch of non-controlled plants of a
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with cont rolled 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 ti llage. Prevent movement of resistant we ed 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 treatm ent 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 advi sors 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 resistan ce 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.
CROP ROTATION
Huskie FX Herbicide breaks down in the soil mainly by microb ial degradation. Under adverse conditions such as cold
temperatures and drought conditions, degradation can be slowed.
Observe the intervals listed below for the minimum time between application of this product and planting of the crops indicated
and follow the additional instructions provided, if applicable. For crops not listed here, conduct a small-scale field bioassa y
before planting into fields treated with Huskie FX Herbicide the previous season.

Huskie FX Herbicide before planting millet or safflower, in addition to the required rotation interval given in months.
3 Cotton and Peanuts: 15 inches of cumulative precipitation is required from application before planting cotton or peanuts,
in addition to the required 9- month rotation interval. Do not include furrow or flood irrigation in the total and include no
more than 7 inches of overhead irrigation should be included in total.
4 Field peas: 9 months for all states except 18 months in Montana.
5 Lentils: 9 months for all states except 18 months in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
6 Onion plantback interva l of 9 months is only allowed if the preceding crop is grown with supplemental irrigation and
onions are also being grown under irrigated conditions.
7 Tobacco: 15 inches of cumulative precipitation is required from application before planting tobacco i n addition to the
required 9-month rotation interval.
Cover Crops
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression following harvest in the
Fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with Huskie FX Herbicide is allowed as long as these cover crops
are not grazed by livestock or harvested for food or feed. Cover crops must be tilled under or chemically controlled with
burndown herbicides in the spring. Many cover crops may be plan ted within 90-120 days after application of this herbicide.
However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated for tolerance to Huskie FX Herbicide and significant injury could
occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop in fields previously tr eated with this herbicide, complete a successful small scale
bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance. Refer to the Small Scale Field Bioassay instructions below.
Small Scale Field Bioassay
To avoid potential crop injury, a field bioassay must be conducte d before planting crops not listed on this label into fields
previously treated with this product. To conduct a field bioassay, plant strips of the crop you want to grow in the field treated
with Huskie FX Herbicide the previous season before planting th e entire field. Monitor the crop for any herbicidal response
to determine if the crop can be grown safely.
PRODUCT MIXING
Huskie FX Herbicide is formulated as an emusifiable concentrate that mixes readily with water and is compatible with many
commonly used tank-mix additives and pesticide products. It is the responsibility of the pesticide user to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Follow the guidleines in this section regarding the order of mixing spray solutions of this product.
Always predetermine the compatibility of all tank-mix products together in the carrier by mixing small proportional quantities
in advance.
Equipment Cleaning Procedure
Apply Huskie FX Herbicide with clean and properly calibrated application equipment. Prior to adding Huskie FX Herbicide to
the sprayer tank, ensure that the tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned according to the following procedure.
1. Drain the tank completely, and then wash out the ta nk, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Fill the tank half full 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 and/or
recirculate for a minimum of 10 minutes before flushing out through the boom and hoses. 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.
8
Compatibility Testing
If Huskie FX 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 quart), combining all ingredients in the same proportions
as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indicatio ns
of incompatibility will usually appear within 15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow the label of each product added to the
mixture.
Spray Additives
When Huskie FX Herbicide is applied alone in spring planted ce reals, spray additives such as ammonium sulfate, nonionic
surfactant, or urea ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be added to the spray mixture to help improve weed control, especially
under challenging growing conditions.
If Huskie FX Herbicide is applied in a tank mixture with ot her herbicides or pesticides, spray additives could cause
unacceptable crop response. Adding additives to the spray ta nk when Huskie FX Herbicide is applied as a tank-mix is not
recommended unless specifically directed on the label of the tank-mix product.
In winter wheat, the addition of spray additives to a spray tank with Huskie FX Herbicide will be dictated by the requirements
of any herbicide tank-mix partner. Follow label of the tank-mix product regarding appropriate adjuvant requirements. Consult
local your Bayer CropScience Representative or County Extension agent for additional information.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer A spray grade quality ammonium sulfate fertilizer (21-0-0-24) added to the spray mixture
at an application rate of 0.5 to 1 pound per acre is the pr eferred nitrogen source for optimal weed control with Huskie FX
Herbicide. A spray grade quality urea ammonium nitrogen fertilizer (28-0-0 or 30-0-0 or 32-0-0) at 1 to 2 quarts per acre may
also be added to the spray mixture.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) Some tank mix options require the use of a nonionic surfactant. Use the amount of NIS
recommended on the tank mix product label or at a concentration of 0.25 to 0.5% by volume (1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons
of spray solution). At least 80% of the surfactant product mu st be active nonionic surfactant. Avoid products that do not
accurately define their ingredients.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) + Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer (in water carrier solutions) Use a nonionic surfactant at
a concentration of 0.25 to 0.5% by volume (1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) with ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
Use a spray grade quality urea ammonium nitrogen fertilizer (2 8-0-0 or 30-0-0 or 32-0-0) at 1 to 2 quarts per acre or
ammonium sulfate fertilizer (21-0-0-24) at 0.5 to 1 pounds per acre.
Application in Fluid Fertilizer (Winter Wheat Only) Huskie FX Herbicide may be applied using a 20 to 32% liquid nitrogen
solution as the spray carrier. For fall applications, the fertilizer solution should not exceed 50% liquid nitrogen and not exceed
more than 30 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre. In WA, ID and OR, do not use more than 50% urea ammonium nitrogen
fertilizer as a portion of the spray carr ier at any application timing. A nonionic surfactant at a maximum concentration of
0.25% by volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution) may be added to spray solutions containing liquid nitrogen. Due
to the activity of fertilizer on the crop, temporary injury coul d result when liquid nitrogen is used as a spray carrier. Crop
response symptoms due to the use of liquid nitrogen as the spray carrier include discoloration and leaf burn.
Tank Mixtures for Insect and Disease Control
Do not apply Huskie FX Herbicide in a tank mixture with products containing tebuconazole.
Do not apply Huskie FX Herbicide in grain sorghum in a tank mixture with products containing chlorpyrifos, as unacceptable
crop response can occur.
Huskie FX Herbicide may be mixed with insecticides or fungicides not prohibited on this label, if those products are also
labelled for use on the crops listed on this label and the applic ation timing (crop stage) is the same as for the application o f
Huskie FX Herbicide.
Tank mix applications of herbicides with insecticides or fungicides can cause tempor ary yellowing, leaf burn and/or height

See the CROP SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS for specific tank-mix recommendations for each use of this product.
Tank-Mixing Procedure
Prepare spray mixtures of this product as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank ¼ to ½ full with clean water, then add ammonium sulfate or urea ammonium nitrogen fertilizer, if desired,
and begin agitation or bypass circulation.
2. Add the appropriate rate of Huskie FX Herbicide directly to the spray tank while continuing to maintain proper agitation.
3. Add additional pesticide products, if desired.
4. Add surfactant, if desired.
5. Fill the spray tank the rest of the way wi th water, up to the desired volume prepared.
Continue agitation during Huskie FX Herbicide application to ensure uniform spray coverage.
APPLICATION METHODS AND TECHNIQUES
This product may be broadly applied with ground boom applicatio n equipment for all uses listed on this label. Fixed-wing
and rotary (helicopter) aerial application equipment may be used only for application of this product in barley, oats, rye,
triticale and wheat.
DO NOT apply this product using backpack or any other handheld application equipment.
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Thorough spray coverage is important for optimal weed control.
Best results are obtained when application of this product is ma de to young, actively growing weeds. Apply this product to
control weeds before they become competitive with the crop being grown.
Broadleaf weeds listed on this label that have been injured or partially controlled by previous herbicide applications can be
further controlled by this product provided good growing conditions exist. Do not ap ply this product for weed control in hot,
dry conditions where weeds are not actively growing or where weeds are covered with dust.
Rainfall within 1 hour of application of this product can result in reduced weed control.
Use screens that are 50 mesh or larger on spray equipment.
Spray Drift Management
AVOID DRIFT. Huskie FX Herbicide is not volatile; however, damage to sensitive crops can occur as a result of spray drift.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift onto un protected persons or food, fora ge, or other plantings that
might be damaged or rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur.
DO NOT apply 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 high (e.g., when wind is blowing towards sensitive areas).
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy,
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x Applicators are required to use a fine or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
x 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.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement up wind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
10
Ground Boom Applications
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4
feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph 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 or under unfavorable
environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop lets 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.
Boom Height - Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
Boomless Ground Application
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective boom height will help to reduce the potential for 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. 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.
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.
Boomless Ground Applications:
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
11
Handheld Technology Applications:
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
Ground Application Equipment
Properly calibrated ground application equipment may be used to apply Huskie FX Herbicide as a foliar spray on emerged
target weeds. For optimum spray coverage and crop canopy penetration, select nozzles, nozzle spacing and a sprayer
pressure that, as indicated by the manufacturer, deliver medium spray droplets in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572,
such as 80-degree or 110-degree flat-fan nozzles. Nozzle ty pes, nozzle spacing and spray pressures that produce coarse
spray droplets might not provide adequate coverage to ensure optimum weed control. Do not apply this product using flood-
jet nozzles or cone nozzles.
Avoid uneven spray distribution, skips, overlaps, and spray drift.
For best performance, do not exceed 10 miles per hour when using ground application equipment.
Aerial Application Equipment
This product may be applied using properly calibrated fixed-wing or rotary (helicopter) aerial application equipment only in
barley, oats, rye, triticale and wheat. Ap ply this product at the appropriate application rate listed on this label, along wit h
ammonium sulfate at a rate of 0.5 pound per acre, in a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre, if crop canopy and weed
density allow for adequate spray coverage. Application in le ss than 5 gallons of spray so lution per acre using aerial
application equipment could result in reduced weed control.
For optimum spray coverage and crop canopy penetration, select nozzles, nozzle spacing and a sprayer pressure that, as
indicated by the manufacturer, deliver medium spray droplets in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Do not use raindrop
nozzles.
Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
RESTRICTIONS
● Mixers and loaders of aerial application equipment must use a closed transfer system with this product.
● Aerial application is prohibited within 300 feet of resident ial areas (e.g., homes, schools, playgrounds, shopping areas,

GRAIN SORGHUM
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Best weed control in grain sorghum is achieved with an integrated weed management approach of crop rotation, herbicides
and tillage. Weeds should be controlled prior to planting.
Huskie FX Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide fo r control of critical broadleaf weeds in grain and forage
sorghum, such as tall waterhemp, palmer amaranth, and redroot pigweed. Apply 15 to 19 fluid ounces of Huskie FX Herbicide
in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray volume per acre to actively growing grain or forage sorghum between the 3-leaf growth
stage up to 30 inches or prior to flag leaf emergence, whichever comes first, using ground application equipment only. In
denser canopies or when larger weeds are present, increase th e spray volume to 15 gallons per acre to ensure thorough
spray coverage on target weeds.
Make no more than 2 applications of Huskie FX Herbicide per year with a minimum of 11 days between applications.
Transitory leaf burn will occur following application of Huskie FX Herbicide in grain sorghum. Stunting and yellowing can also
occur. These early symptoms generally dissipate within 21 days and do not affect yield. Crop response will be greater in
small grain sorghum that is stressed by unfavorable growi ng conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity.
Do not
apply Huskie FX Herbicide if transient early season crop injury is not acceptable.
Different sorghum varieties may differ in their tolerance to postemergence herbicides. If a sorghum variety or hybrid has not
been tested (especially newly released va rieties), treat only a small area until tole rance is confirmed before treating large
acreages. Sensitivity of sweet sorghum (sorgo), sudangrass , sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, or dual-purpose sorghum
varieties to Huskie FX Herbicide is not known and the use of Huskie FX Herbicide on these sorghum types is not
recommended.
For optimum weed control when Huskie FX Herbicide is applie d under challenging growing conditions, apply this product in
a spray solution with one pound of ammonium sulfate per acre . Huskie FX Herbicide can also be combined with 0.25% by
volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution) of a nonionic surfactant or 0.5% by volume (2 quarts per 100 gallons of
spray solution) of a high surfactant oil concentrate (HSOC) to increase performance.
Unacceptable crop response can occur when Huskie FX Herbicide is applied to acreage that has been previously treated
with any product containing mesotrione.
See the APPLICATION METHODS AND TECHNIQUES and PRODUCT MIXING sections of this label for more information.
TANK MIXTURES
Huskie FX Herbicide may be tank-mixed with products containing one or more of the active ingredients listed below [Optional
text:, or one or more of the products listed]. Ensure that the produc t used is labeled for use with the crop being grown. It is
the responsibility of the pesticide user to ensure that the intended use is included on the label of all products added to a tank
mixture. Read and follow label directions for all products added to the mix and use in accordance with the most restrictive
label limitations and precautions.
Huskie FX Herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide and will not control key grass weeds in grain and forage sorghum. A tank-mix
of Huskie FX Herbicide with 0.25 to 1.0 pound atrazine per acre will strengthen and expand weed control. Refer to the specific
atrazine product label for use directions, maximum application rates, restrictions and a list of weeds controlled for your area
and soil type.
22
Consult your local Bayer CropScience Representative or certified crop advisor for additional information.
Compatibility of Huskie FX Herbicide with other pesticide pr oducts should always be predetermined before mixing large
quantities of spray solution. See the PRODUCT MIXING section of this label for more information on preparing tank mixtures
and using other spray additives with this product.

WEEDS CONTROLLED AND SUPPRESSED
When Huskie FX Herbicide is applied under challenging conditions, the addition of one pound of ammonium sulfate per acre
is recommended to optimize herbicidal activity.
For optimal weed control in grain sorghum in arid environments, Huskie FX Herbicide plus one pound of ammonium sulfate
per acre can also be combined with 0.25% by volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution) of a nonionic surfactant or
0.5% by volume (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) of a high surfactant oil concentrate (HSOC).
