USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
USERS SHOULD: Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
|
||
Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to marine/estaurine invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present
|
||
or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in
|
||
neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
Groundwater advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil in to groundwater under certai n 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 groundwater contamination.
|
||
Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand which have less than 1% organic matter.
|
||
Surface water advisory: Sulfentrazone can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions,
|
||
sulfentrazone may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several
|
||
to many months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface
|
||
waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlying extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that
|
||
drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying til e
|
||
drainage systems that drain to surface waters.
|
||
PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
|
||
|
||

||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Authority BL Herbicide is a water dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective preemergence
|
||
and preplant incorporated weed control in soybeans. When applied according to the instructions on this label, it will control listed
|
||
broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges.
|
||
The mode of action of Authority BL involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Preemergence and preplant incorporated
|
||
applications of Authority BL require rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or irrigation req uired
|
||
for activation following application depends on existing soil moisture, organic matter content and soil texture. If adequate moisture
|
||
(½” to 1”) is not received within 7 to 10 days after the Authority BL treatment, a shallow cultivation may be needed to obtain
|
||
desired weed control. When sufficient moisture is received after dry conditions, Authority BL will provide control of susceptible
|
||
germinating weeds.
|
||
This label contains specific use directions for two distinct geographical use areas for Authority BL. The Northern Area and the
|
||
Southern Area which are shown on the map under APPLICATION INFORMATION. This label also contains general use
|
||
information which is applicable to all Authority BL use geography.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Authority BL Herbicide which contains the active ingredients Sulfentrazone and Metribuzin is a group 14 and 5 herbicide
|
||
based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or
|
||
more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed manage ment program may include the use of multiple herbicides with
|
||
different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage ope rations and/or other cultural practices.
|
||
Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance .
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the su ccessful implementation of a weed resistance management
|
||
program.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
· Scout fields before application for weeds for identification of species and sizes.
|
||
· Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
· Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
· Apply full rates of Authority BL Herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct
|
||
weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
· Scout fields after application to detect any poor performance or likely resistance in weeds.
|
||
· Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
· Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your local retailer or county extension
|
||
agent.
|
||
· Contact your crop advisor or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to these MOAs have been found in your
|
||
region. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple sites of action. Products with multiple active
|
||
ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only one
|
||
of the active ingredient in this product.
|
||
· If resistance is suspected, treat weed es capes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and 5and/or use
|
||
nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
· Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
|
||
achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
· Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
|
||
· Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
· Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 and 5 herbicides.
|
||
· Avoid making more than two applications of Authority BL Herbicide and any other Group 14 and 5 herbicides within a
|
||
single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
|
||
difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
· Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as m echanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free
|
||
crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
· Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
· Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
· Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
|
||

||
Authority BL is compatible with most herbicides registered for use in soybeans for preemergence and preplant incorporated
|
||
applications. Refer to the SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS under the Northern Area or the Southern Area as it pertains to your
|
||
particular situation. Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting direc tions,
|
||
rotational crop guidelines and other label information of each product when tank mixing with Authority BL.
|
||
Proper handling instructions: This product may not be mixed or lo aded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells
|
||
and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. T his
|
||
setback does not apply to property capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked
|
||

|
||
Operations that involve mixing, loading rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
|
||
equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand
|
||
the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or m oved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained
|
||
to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the
|
||
pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self contained. The pad
|
||
shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of
|
||
the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of suffici ent
|
||
size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the
|
||
capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipm ent on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shal l
|
||
be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide
|
||
shipments to the mixing/loading site.
|
||
|
||
States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
|
||

|
||
|
||
SOYBEAN TOLERANCE
|
||
Authority BL has been tested on a number of soybean cultivars. The vast majority of cultivars tested when used according to label
|
||
guidelines have demonstrated tolerance to Authority BL. A limited number of soybean cultivars have shown some level of injury
|
||
when used according to label guidelines and should not be pl anted when an Authority BL herbicide program is planned. Do not
|
||
use the following soybean cultivars in an Authority BL herbicide program: AP 71, Asgrow 5474, Asgrow 5360, Asgrow
|
||
6520, Asgrow 6785, Burlison, Coker 102, Coker 156, Coker 368, De Kalb 264, Govan, Hutcheson, Maple Amber, NKS 1884,

|
||
For further information regarding soybean tolerance to an Authority BL treatment contact your FMC Agriculture Product
|
||
Representative or your local seed supplier for a list of potential sensitive soybean cultivars
|
||
If cool/cold weather or heavy rainfall occurs immediately followi ng an Authority BL application, soybean stunting or stand loss
|
||
could occur. Yields have not been affected where early season stunting has occurred. Injury to soybeans can also occur under the

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
DO NOT use on crops other than soybeans.
|
||
|
||
Ground application only
|
||
Use a standard low pressure herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable nozzles and screens. Apply uniformly using properly
|
||
calibrated nozzles (10 to 40 psi) and screens and strainers no finer than 50 mesh. Use 10 to 40 gallons of spray solution per a cre.
|
||
Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before application. Check sprayer during application to be sure it is working properly.
|
||
Water must be used as the carrier for Authority BL when applied alone, or when tank mixed with other soybean herbicides.
|
||
Continuous agitation during application is required. Avoid overlap. Shut off spray booms while turning, slowing or stopping, as
|
||
over application may result. Avoid letting Authority BL sit overn ight as settling of product and difficulty of resuspending ma y
|
||
occur.
|
||
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Authority BL applications must be drained and thoroughly cleaned
|
||
with water plus ammonia before being used to apply other products.
|
||
Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops or plants as injury to other plants may occur. To avoid drift, applicators must
|
||
observe the following precautions:
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
Spray Volume
|
||
Ground applicators must use a minimum finished spray volume of 10 gallons per acre.
|
||
When sulfentrazone is tank mixed with a contact burndown herbic ide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume of
|
||
15 gallons per acre.
|
||
Spray Nozzle and Droplet Size
|
||
-Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle
|
||
manufacturer’s recommendations and in accordance with ASABE* Standard S-572.
|
||
-Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when sulfentrazone is used as a preemergent/preplant application.
|
||
-Select medium to very coarse droplet size when sulfentrazone is used postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide.
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
-Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3 and 10 mph.
|
||
-For boom spraying, the minimum release height must be 30 inches from the soil for ground applications.
|
||
-Do not apply as spray droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASABE* standard).
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMETAL CONDITONS.
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 for pesticide performance. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but
|
||
will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavor able environmental conditi ons. (See information on
|
||
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in s ubsequent sections). Select nozzles and application pressure
|
||
that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations and in
|
||
accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. Sel ect coarse to very coarse droplet si ze when used as a preemergent/preplant
|
||
application. Select medium to very coarse droplet size when used with a contact burndown herbicide. Do not apply as spray
|
||
droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASABE standard).
|
||
Controlling spray droplet size
|
||
Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the greatest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flow generally
|
||
produce larger droplets.
|
||
Pressure - When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles rather than increasing spray pressure. Do not exceed
|
||
the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. Lower pressure produces larger droplets in many types of nozzles.
|
||
Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
Wind – Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph. Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3
|
||
and 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
|
||
Application should be avoided below 3 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 may potentially affect spray
|
||
drift.
|
||
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.
|
||
Temperature Inversions – Applications s hould not occur during a temp erature inversion 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 low speed and variable winds common during inversions. Temperature
|
||
inversions are characterized by increasi ng temperatures with altitude and are comm on during conditions of limited cloud cover
|
||
and little to no wind. They often begin to form as the sun sets and may often continue into the morning. The presence of a
|
||
temperature inversion may be indicated by ground fog. However, if fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground
|
||
source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify inversions. Smoke that remains in layers and moves laterally in a
|
||
concentrated cloud (under low speed wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
|
||
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
Sensitive Areas – The pesticide should only be applied when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas (e.g. residential
|
||
areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).
|
||
OFF-TARGET MOVEMENT OF AUTHORITY BL HERBICIDE
|
||
Drift of spray mixtures containing Authority BL Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental
|
||
conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will significantly diminish the risk of off-
|
||
target spray drift. Authority BL Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by drift onto sensitive crops and other plants. This
|
||
symptomology may manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by Authority BL Herbicide drift mixtures.
|
||
Depending on concentration of the spray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dosage of sulfentrazone) and also
|
||
depending on the inherent sensitivity of the plants involved, these spots or lesions ma y or may not coalesce. These effects wil l
|
||
usually not have lasting effects on plant growth, but will likely reduce the value of affected fruit or foliage where grade or quality
|
||
are associated with appearance. In severe drift instances with particularly sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage co uld
|
||
result. Failure to follow these guidelines and environmental prohibitions that then result in off-target movement or drift of
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
Authority BL Herbicide onto unintended crops or plants, irrespective of severity, constitutes misapplication of this product. FMC
|
||
accepts no responsibility or liability for potential crop effects that may result from such misapplication of Authority BL Herbicide.

SPRAY TANK PREPARATION
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of exis ting pesticide deposits before using Authority BL. Follow the spr ay
|
||
tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously applied before adding Authority BL to the tank.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Fill spray tank with one fourth of the volume of clean water needed for the field to be treated. Start agitation system, add Authority
|
||
BL per directions under APPLICATION INFORMATION. Refer to RATE TABLE 1 for the Northern Area or RATE TABLE
|
||
2 for the Southern Area for the proper application rate. Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to keep the product
|
||
in suspension. Make sure Authority BL is thoroughly mixed before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.
|
||
For tank mixtures with other soybean herbicide(s), a jar test should be conducted to ensure product compatibility before full-scale
|
||
mixing. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Fill spray tank one fourth
|
||
full with water. With agitator operating, add the recommended amounts of ingredients using the following order: dry granules
|
||
first, liquid suspensions (flowables) second. Add EC products followed by water soluble products to tank as agitation continues
|
||
and tank is filled with water. All applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for the tank mixture herbicide(s) must b e
|
||
followed.
|
||
Use Authority BL spray mixtures immediately after mixing. Do not store mixture. If Authority BL was tank mixed with other
|
||
soybean herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions and precautions for the additional herbicides must also be followed.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants. 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 residue s
|
||
from damaging other crops. Drain the spray tank and spray system and completely flush with water plus ammonia. Then, remove
|
||
all spray tips and strainers and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
|
||
Dispose of excess spray mixture and/or rinsate by application to cropland as described on this label. If excess spray mixture and/or
|
||
rinsate cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, di spose of in compliance with local, state and federal guideline s.
|
||
Contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA regional
|
||
office for guidance.
