IMPORTANT Failure to observe the APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS section of this label may result in injury to desirable vegetation. • Desirable plants including some species of trees, shrubs, flowers, agronomic crops, and truits and vegetables are sensitive to Com­ mence ® EC herbicide. • Foliar contact with spray drift or vapors may cause whitening or yellow­ ing of sensitive plants. Symptoms are generally temporary in nature but may persist on some plants. • Carryover injury to approved rotational crops may result under extremely dry conditions. Choice of rotational crop hybrid, soil factors, and choice of other crop protection chemicals can Impact the risk of injury to approved rotational crops. Refer to Rotational Cropping Precautions. SPRAYER CLEANUP Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops. Carefully follow sprayer clean-up instructions noted below to prevent spray tank residues from damaging other crops. Sprayer equipment should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of herbicide that might injure other subsequently sprayed crops. The steps below are suggested for the thorough cleaning of spray equipment follow­ ing appllcations of Commence EC herbicide or tank mixes of Commence EC with other labeled products.

1. Drain any remaining spray solution from tank and discard in an approved manner (See Note below).
2. Thoroughly wash down the inside as well as outside surfaces of equipment while filling the spray tank half full of water. Recycle water solution through the equipment for five minutes and dispose of in an approved manner (see Note below).
3. Fill tank with water while adding 1 quart of bleach and 1 pint of detergent for every 25 gallons of water. Operate the pump to circulate the solution through the sprayer system for 15 to 20 minutes and discharge a small amount of the solution through the boom and nozzles. let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
4. Start spray system up, recirculate for 15 minutes, then flush the solution out of spray tank through the boom. • When switching from water dilutions to applications utilizing crop oil or liquid fertilizer as a carrier, a small volume of crop oil or liquid fertilizer should be flushed through the lank, pump, hoses, and boom prior 10 the next use. Dispose of crop oil or liquid fertilizer rinsate in an approved manner (see Note for local, state and Fed­ eral guidelines).
5. Remove the nozzles, screens, and line filter and wash in a pail of warm, soapy water.
6. Flush the system with two tankfuls of water. NOTE: Dispose of excess spray mixture andlor rinsates by application and incorporation to cropland as described on this label. If excess spray mixture andlor rinsates cannot be disposed of according to label instruc­ tions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste representative at Ihe nearest EPA regional office for guidance. GENERAL MIXING CONDITIONS Commence EC Alone: Start with a clean spray tank. Fill sprayer 1.13 to % full with clean water or liquid fertilizer. Start agitation. Add correct quantity of Commence EC, continue agitation and finish filling the tank. Tank Mixtures: Vigorous, continuous agitation is required for all tank mixes. Sparger pipe agitators generally provide the best agitation in spray tanks. To prevent foaming, avoid stirring or splashing air into the mixture during fitling by placing the end of the fill pipe below the surface of the water in the spray tank. Do not allow the mixture to siphon back into the water source. 3 Mixing Order: FiJI the tank Y4 to % full with clean water or liquid fertilizer. (See next page for additional liquid fertilizer mixing instructions.) Start the agitation. Add in the following order: dry flowables (DF) wettable powders (WP), aqueous suspensions (AS), flowables (F), and liquids (L) to the water and agitate until the product(s) are completely dispersed. Allow additional mixing and dispersion time when using dry flowable products. Continue agitation and fill tank to 3/4 full, add the Commence EC mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during filling and through application. If spraying and agitation must be stopped before the tank is empty the materials may settle to the bottom. In this case it is important to resuspend all of the material in the bottom of the tank before continuing the spray application. A sparger agitator is particularly useful for this purpose. Sometimes it is more difficult to resuspend settled material than it is to suspend originally. Read and carefully follow aU label instructions for each material added to the tank. Premixing dry and flowable formulations with water (slurrying) and pouring the slurry through a 20 or 35 mesh wetting screen in the top of the tank will help assure good initial dispersion in the tank water. Line screens in the tank should be no finer than 50 mesh (100 mesh is finer than 50 mesh). If a buildup of material on the walls of the spray tank is observed, wash the tank with soapy water between fillings. Rinse and continue the spraying operation. Clean the tank, lines, and screens thoroughly after use. As the spray volume per acre decreases the importance of accurate calibration and uniform application increases. Check the sprayer daily to ensure proper calibration and uniform application. Do not apply Com­ mence EC when the wind can cause drifting of spray particles which can result in non-uniform application. When using drift reducing agents, follow specific product label instructions for order of addition to spray tank. Liquid Fertilizer Mixing Directions: Emulsifiable concentrates, such as Commence EC, can be mixed with liquid fertilizers. In aU cases, continuous agitation is required to prevent the Commence EC from rising to the surface as an oily layer. When necessary (see Liquid Fertiiizer Compatibility Test below), a compatibility agent can be used to ensure that the Commence EC emulsifies properly (I.e., has a milky appearance rather than an oily layer). The use of compatibility agents is especially important when tank mixing emulsifiable concentrates (EC) with dry flowables (OF) wettable powders (WP) flowables (F) liquids (L), aqueous suspensions (AS), or solutions (S) in liquid fertilizer. If the emulsion is not properly formed, and the EC rises to the surlace of the fertilizer as an oil ("olls ouf'), the oil may combine with the wettable powder, flowable, or suspension to form oily curds (viscous phase) whIch are difficult to disperse. Anyone of the compatibility agents listed below is helpful in causing emulsifiable concentrates to form non-oiling mixtures with liquid fertilizers. These compaUbility agents can be used at rates as low as one and one­ half (1 Y2) to two (2) pints per ton of liquid fertilizer and should be mixed well with the fertilizer before adding the emulsifiable concentrate. Read the label on the compatibility agent and follow the directions.

7. Kem-Unk""" (Universal Coop, Minneapolis, MN) Each of the above is a phosphate ester type surfactant designed to be used with liquid fertilizers. They usually do not work well as compatibility agents in tank mixtures in water. Testing for Tank Mix Compatibility in Liquid Fertilizers: Emulsifiable concentrates alone or in tank mixture with dry flowables (OF), wettable powders (WP), liquids (L), flowabies (F). aqueous suspensions (AS), or solutions (S), may not combine properly with some fluid fertilizer materials. Small quantities should always be tested before full-scale mixing. This will determine whether a compatibility agent is needed and which agent does the best job. The compatibility agents listed above have been thoroughly tested. There are many other surlactants on the market which were not designed for use with liquid fertilizers. Use the following test to select the correct agent for your mixture:

8. Put one (1) pint of the liquid fertilizer in a quart jar.

9. Add one (1) to four (4) teaspoonful(s) of the OF, WP, L, F, or AS formulation (depending on the recommended rate per acre) to the liquid fertilizer. Close jar and agitate u1til dispersed evenly in the fertilizer. If the materials do not disperse weU, it may be necessary to slurry the chemicals in water before adding to the fertilizer.

10. After dispersing the materials (Step 2), add three (3) to four (4) teaspoonfuis of the Commence® EC to the jar and shake well. Add solution herbicides to the mixture last and agitate. Observe the jar tor about 10 minutes. If the materials rise to the surtace and form a thick layer (oily curds), which will not disperse when agitated, a compatibil­ ity agent is needed. If the mixture is easily dispersed to its original state with slight agitation, no agent is needed, but good agitation must be provided in the fertilizer spray tank.

11. If the need tor a compatibility agent is shown in Step 3, using a clean quart jar, start at Step 1 above, add one-half (Y2) teaspoonful of the compatibility agent to the liquid fertilizer, mix well, then repeat Steps 2 and 3. An effective compatibility agent will cause the mixture to remain uniformly mixed with little or no separating or oil rising to the surtace for one-haH (Yz) hour or longer. If slight separation does occur, two (2) or three (3) inversions of the jar should give a uniform remix. If oil curds form which will not disperse, more agent or another agent should be tried. Use a clean jar for each test. The compatible mixture will have a uniform appearance and will be relatively easy to keep mixed with gentle agitation of the jar. APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS Do not apply CommenC8® EC within 1 ,000 feet of the areas listed below: Towns and Subdivisions Commercial Vegetable Production* Commercial Fruit Production Commercial Nurseries Commercial Greenhouses except sweet corn Plants such as the following may show symptoms of foliar whit­ ening or yellowing if contacted by Commence EC. Symptoms are usually temporary in nature but may result in permanent injury if the exposure is excessive. It is recommended that, prior to appli­ cation, adjacent properties be checked and that spraying within 100 feet of such desirable plants be avoided.

Do not apply Commence EC to non-field areas including fence rows, waterways, ditches, and road sides. 4 COMMENCE EC SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS Non-target spray drift of Commence EC hl~rbicide should be avoided to prevent whitening of desirable vegetation. Drift is influenced by many factors which include wind speed, spray pressure, particle size, nozzle type, and boom height. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift. If wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour, a drift reducing additive must be used. A minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre is recommended with appropriate nozzle types and sizes that produce coarser sprays. The use of agriculturally approved drift reducing additives is recom­ mended for application volumes of 15 to 40 gallons per acre when spraying in the proximity of desirable plants (see list above). The use of an agriculturally approved dri"1 reducing additive is required at finished spray volumes of 10 to 15 gal!ons per acre. Use minimum spray pressure and boom height maintaining uniform spray pattern. Do not exceed 40 psi spray pressure. Selection and proper use of spray equipment is critical in minimizing spray drift. The following table suggests pressures, flow rates, and nozzle sizes for drift reduction using various nozzle types.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Minimum Nozzle Size #4' #3 #4 #2.5' #5 #2 #5 The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR. INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. 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 sections on this label.

Controlling Droplet Size· General Techniques 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 manufacturer's recommended spray pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE 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 orientintations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drfit 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 orinted straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. BOOM LENGTH For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom len9ht to less than3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment. the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. APPLICATION HEIGHT Application should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. SWATH ADJUSTMENT When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind. smaller drop, etc.). familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. WIND Drift Potential is lowest between wind sppeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given spped. 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. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with attitude 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. 5 SENSITIVE AREAS This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitivie areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas. ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS: Under some COnditions, temporary whitening or yellowing of leaves may occur on approved rotational crops where undesirable soil residues of Commence EC exist. Under abnormal conditions, carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The following factors can contribute to increased risk of injury to rotational crops:

1. Exceeding label recommended rates.
2. OVerapplication resulting from use of worn nozzles excessive over­ lapping of spray swaths, failing to shut off spray booms when turning (end row areas), or slowing or stopping sprayer.
3. Soil with pH less than or equal to 5.9.
4. Extreme dryness in the four months following application.
5. Use of organophosphate soil insecticides followed by use of some postemergence corn herbicides.
6. Choice of rotational crop hybrid. Additional recommendations to prevent rotational crop injury may be provided in the form of selVice bulletins for locations where risk of injury is significantly increased due to extremely dry conditions. A.fer to Rotational Guideline. and replanting instructions of spe­ cillc crop. for additional crop planting information. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS APPLICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONOITIONS: Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions. Commence EC will not harm the treated crop. OverappHcation may resutt in crop injury or a soil resIdue. Uneven application or improper soil incorporation of Commence EC can result in erratic weed control or crop Injury. Seedling disease. cold weather, deep planting, excessive mOisture, high salt ooncentration or drought may weaken crop seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from Commence EC. Under these conditions. delayed crop development or reduced yields may result. Application to soils with pH of 6.0 or lower may result in undesirable soil residues and greater potential for injury to rotational crops. ROTATIONAL CROP/GRAZING AND FEEDING RESTRICTIONS: The fOllowing rotational crops may be planted nine (9) months after the application of Commence EC. Do not rotate to any crops other than those listed bek)w as crop injury may occur. Cotton and soybeans may be planted any time following application of Commence EC Herbicide. Com (Field, Sweet, Pop, Seed) Cucurbits Dry Beans Peanuts Peas Peppers Potatoes Rice Snap Beans Sweet Potatoes Tobacco Tomatoes (Transplanted) In those areas where at least twenty (20) inches of irrigation and/or rainfall (total) was used to produce the cotton or soybean crop. sorghum should not be planted for twelve (12) months after an application of Commence EC. If less than twenty (20) inches of total water was used to produce the cotton or soybean crop, do not plant sorghum for eighteen (18) months after an application of Commence EC. Cool, wet weather conditions during the early stage of growth may increase the possibility of injury to sorghum. In areas receiving greater than twenty (20) inches of rainfall per year, moldboard plow at least twelve (12) inches deep before planting sugar beets as a rotational crop. Do not rotate to sugar beets for thirteen (13) months after an application of Commence EC if less than twenty (20) inches of water was used to produce the cottoo or soybean crop. NOTE: Do not rotate to whot, oats, barleY,lYe or allilfa in the fan of the year of application or in the spring of the following year as crop Injury may occur. Cover crops may be planted anytime but stand reduction may occur. Do not graze or harvest these cover crops for food or feed. Do not allow livestock to graze on treated soybean vines or feed treated vines or vine trash to livestock.

GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS This Product Must Be Applied As A Preplant Incorpo­ rated Treatment. Do not apply aerially or through irrigation equipment. Ground Applications Broadcast Application: Apply Commence EC alone or in tank mix combinations by ground equipment using a finished spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre. NOTE: The use of an agriculturally approved drift reducing additive is required at finished spray vol-urnes of 10 to 15 gallons per acre. Use nozzles suitable for broadcast boom application of herbicides. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. See "APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS" Section for specific recommendations to reduce spray drift. INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS General Directions: Use incorporation equipment that thoroughly mixes Commence EC into the top 2 to 3 inches of the final seedbed, or erratic weed control andlor crop injury may result. Incorporation equipment such as a disc will mix Commence EC approximately half as deep as the equipment is set to operate. For example a disc set to cut 4 inches deep will incorporate most of the Commence EC within the top 2 inches of soil. Incorporation: Application and immediate incorporation to a depth of 2 to 3 inches is required unless the soil surface is dry. On dry soils, incorporation to a depth of 2 to 3 inches MUST be completed within 8 hours of Commence EC herbicide application. Soil must be in good tilth to allow for thorough mixing of the soil. Application to overly moist or wet soils will increase the potential for nff·site movement of Commence EC herbicide vapors and may result in poor . incorporation and unsatisfac-tory weed control. .. second incorporation is necessary, unless specifically stated, this time running the equipment in a different direction from the first. Incorporate the Commence EC uniformly into the top 2 to 3 inches of the final seedbed. Commence EC may be applied up to 3 weeks prior to planting. Recommended Equipment Any recommended incorporation tool may be used alone or in combina·tion with any other recommended tool. Disc: Set to cut 4 to 6 inches deep and operate at 4 to 6 mph. Field Cultivator: Set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep and operate at 5 mph or more. A field cultivator is defined as an implement with 3 to 4 rows of sweeps, spaced at intervals of 7 inches or less and staggered so that no soil is left untumed. Chisel points should not be used. Combination Seedbed Conditioners: Set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep and operate at a speed of at least 5 mph. These implements are defined as three or more tiUage devices combined and used as a single tool. For example C- or S­ shaped shanks with an effective sweep spacing of 6 to 9 inches (staggered so that no soil is left unturned) followed by a spike-tooth or flextine harrow, followed by a ground-driven reel or bas- ket. Only one incorporation is necessary. Rolling Cultivator: Set to cut 2 to 4 inches deep and operate at 6 to 8 mph. Rolling cultivators are adequate for use on coarse and medium teX1ured soils "'''Iy. j Conditioner (Do-All): Set to cut 2 to 4 inches deep and operate at 4 to 6 mph. The Do-All is adequate for use on coarse and medium textured soils only. Mulch Treader (other similar disc·type implements): Set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep and operate at 5 to 8 mph. P.T.C. Driven Equipment (tillers, cultivators, hoes): Adjust to incorpo- rate Commence EC into the top 2 to 3 inches of the seedbed with rotors spaced to provide a clean sweep 01 the soit. Only one incorporation is necessary. P.T.O. driven equipment should not be operated greater than 4 mph. CULTIVATION AFTER PLANTING Soil treated with Commence EC herbicide may be shallow cultivated without reducing the weed control activity of Commence EC. Do not cultivate deeper than the treated soil since this may bring untreated soil to the surface and poor weed control may result. 6 SOIL PREPARATION Crop residues or Existing Weeds: Ground cover, such as crop resi­ dues or existing weeds, can interfere with the incorporation of Com­ mence EC into the soil. A manageable level of such ground cover will allow the Commence EC to be uniformly hcorporated Into the top 2 to 3 inches of soil. If the level of the round cover is such that this cannot be done, till the soil prior to the application of Commence EC. Roughness: The soil surtace should be smooth enough to operate the sprayer and incorporation equipment efficiently and at speeds which insure a uniform application and incorporation of Commence EC. General Soli Conditions: To assure uniform incorporation of Com· mence EC, soil moisture conditions should be such that large clods can be broken up during the incorporation. Application to overly moist or wet soils will increase the potential for off-site movement of Commence EC herbicide vapors and may result in poor soil incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. SOIL TEXTURE GUIDE The amount of Commence ® EC you apply will vary with the soil teX1ure and organic matter. A fine textured soil wiJi require more Commence EC per acre than a coarse soil. Choose the proper rate for each application based on the following soil teX1ure group. Do not exceed recommended rates. Soil TextlJre Coarse (light) Soils: Medium Soils: Fine Soils: Soil Classification Sand. loamy sand, sandy loam Loam, sjlty clay loam', silt loam, silt, sandy day laam* Clay, clay loam, silty clay loam', silty clay, sandy clay, sandy clay loam* "Silty clay loam and sandy clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as either medium or fine textured soils. If silty clay loam or sandy clay loam soils are predominantly sand or silt, they are usually classified as medium textured soils. If they are predominantly clay, they are usually classified as fine textured soils. SPECIAL PRECAUTION Off·site movement of spray drift or vapors of Commence ® EC herbicide can cause fofiar whitening or yellowing of some plants. Prior to making applk:ations, read and strictly follow all precau­ tions and instructions in the APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS section. COTTON DIRECTIONS FOR USE Commence ~ EC selective herbicide must be utilized as a soil incorporated treatment when applied for the control of annual grass and broad leaf weeds in cotton. Commence EC may also be applied as par! of a sequential application program preceding cotton preemergence or postemergence herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum compared to the products applied alone. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each product's Jabel, including all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions. Water or liquid fertilizer may be used as a carrier for Commence EC when applied alone. REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANTING Do not apply Commence EC or Command 3ME herbicides to cotton unless either disulfoton or phorate organophosphate insecticide is applied infurrow with the seed at planting time at a minimun of 0.75 pound per acre of active ingredient. Do not reduce the application rate of the organophosphate insecticide when Command 3ME herbicide is applied as a banded treatment. Failure to apply either disulfaton or phorate insecticides with Commence or Command in accordance with those in­ furrow label use directions can result in crop.phytotoxicity (bleaching) andlor stand reduction. Combinations of at planting systemic granular carbamate and organophosphate insecticides in conjunction with Commence or Command may result in injury to cotton. Refer to the insecticide product labels for appropriate in~furrow application directions and maximum use rates. Monitor application equipment to insure accurate and uniform placement of the i1secticide.

CROP SAFETY Crop injury may occur when Commence or Command is applied to coarse soils which contain greater than 80% sand and less than 20% clay. Diuron is not recommended for use at planting time when Commence or Command is used as plant injury and/or stand loss may occur. Fungicide treated seed or infurrow fungicides may be used in conjunc1ion with Commence or Command.

SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS COMMAND 3ME SEQUENTIAL TREATMENT GENERAL APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE PRECAUTIONS IN THIS SECTION OF THE LABEL WHEN USING COMMAND 3ME AS A PREEMERGENT SEQUENTIAL APPUCATION MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO SENSmVE PLANTS The microencapsulation of clomazone, the active ingredient in Command 3ME, is intended to minimize movement away from the site of application. Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air cUlTents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growi~, or when temperature inversions exist. Leave an adequate bu er zone between the area to be treated and desiratMe plants. Coarse sprays are tess likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. 0 Foliar contact with spray drift or vapors may cause foliar whitening or yellowing of senSitive plants. Symptoms are QeneratJy temporary in nature, but may persist on some plant species. Application precautions must be taken as follows: 0 Do not apply aerially or throU!h irrigation equipment. 0 Observe all buffer restrictions. Do not apply Command 3ME within 1.200 feet of the following areas: Towns and HOUsi Developments, Commercial Fruit/Nut or Vegetable 1 Production, mmercial Greenhouses or Nurseries. 1Except for peppers, pumpkins, succulent peas, sweet corn, sweet potato, and winter squash. 0 Before application, determine air movement and direction. Do not apply in winds above ·10 miles per hour. Do not aPIY Command 3ME herbicide to non-field areas including enca rows, waterways, ditches, and roadsides. 0 When moving spray equipment to noncontiguous sites, do not allow spray solution to spray or drip from tanks, hoses, fittings or spray nozzles and tips. Refer to Command 3ME Cotton use directions for additional requirements. COMMAND 3ME SEQUENTIAL TREATMENT SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS Non·target spray drift of Command 3ME herbicide should be avoided to prevent whitening of desirable plants. Drift is Influenced by many factors which include wind speed, spray pressure, particle size, nozzle type, and boom height 0 Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift. Use a minimum spray volume of '0 gallons per acre. 0 Use the lowest possible boom height while maintaining a uniform spray pattern, in conjunction with nozzle type, size, operating pressure and volume that meet a droplet size classification of coarse or greater.

COMMERCIAL IMPREGNATION AND APPLICATION OF COMMENCE EC ON DRY BULK FERTILIZERS Commence herbicide may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers. When applied as directed Commence/dry bulk fertilizer mixtures provide weed control equal to that provided by the same rates at Commence EC applied in water. The Commencelfertilizer mixtures must be soil incorporated. For best results, Commence should be incorporated two times when applied impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers. The second incorporation should be delayed at least (5) days after the fjrst completed prior to planting, and should be run in a different direction from the first. Follow other Com-menee label recommendations for soil incorporation. Impregnation: Apply using a minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 pounds per acre with the recommended amount of Commence EC herbicide per acre. Use a closed rotary-drum mixer or a similar type of closed blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. The spray nozzle{s) should be positioned to provide a uniform, fine spray pattern over the tumbling fertilizer for thorough coverage. The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particularly in liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient, simple spray impregnation of the fertilizer with Commence provides a satisfactory, dry mixture. If the absorptive capacity is inadequate, use of a highly absorptive powder is required to provide a dry, flowable mixture. Micro-cel E (Johns-Manville Products Corporation) is a recommended absorbent powder. Generally less than 2% by weight of Microcel E is required. 00 NOT impregnate Commence EC onto straight coated ammonium nitrate or straight limestone because these materials will not absorb the herbicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnated with Commence. The amount of Commence actually required in the preparation of individ-ual fertilizer mixtures should be determined carefully for each production operation. This is necessary to ensure that the amount of pesticide actually contained in the mixture applied to the soil represents the correct rate of use. Bulk fertilizer impregnated with Commence EC herbicide should be applied immediately, not stored. Care should be taken to ensure spreading procedures in the field do not place fertilizer treated with Commence in areas which cannot be incorporated. All state regulations, labeling, etc., of the mixtures are the responsibility of the seUer. For those rates not listed in the following table calculate the amount of Commence EC to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer using the following formula: 2000 pounds dry )( fertilizer per acre PINTS of Commence per acre (recommended rate for soil texture) PINTS 01

Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where the impregnated fertilizer is not uniformly applied. Special Precautions • All equipment used to apply Commence should be thoroughly cleaned immediately following use to ensure no contamination results which could cause injury to non labeled crops or desirable vegetation. Refer to "Sprayer Cleanup~ section for additional details and disposal of rinsates. • Equipment used to physically transport Commence treated fertilizer, including boots, augers conveyers, bins, etc. should be covered to prevent loss of fine particles and subjected to cleanup procedures previously described. • Mixing of Commence herbicide and dry fertilizer should be conducted in a blender which will ensure airborne particles and potential for volatiliZation are avoided. • Bulk containers should be tightly covered while the product is being transported and applied to reduce chances of Commence volatilization or product loss. • It is recommended that Dry Bulk Fertilizer impregnation operations using Commence not be conducted within 1/4 mile of residential areas or areas where Commence symptomology on desirable vegetation would not be tolerated.
