ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS 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. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is toxic to marine/estuarine 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 product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this product 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: This product can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions, this product may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (pri marily 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 strafe waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying tile drainage systems that drain to surface waters. 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 high potential for reachi ng surface water 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, stream s, and springs will reduce the potential loading of chlorimuron- methyl rom runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product wi ll be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.

Windblown Soil Particles This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosi on. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic ma tter content. Other factors whic h can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and dire ction of prevailing winds, vegetative cove r, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site 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 no n-target organisms by mini mizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.

PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL HAZARDS Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

IMPORTANT Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water. Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage. Prior to using Authority Broadleaf herbicide, consideration should be given to crop rotation plans. Crops other than soybeans may be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of Authority Broadleaf remaining in the soil the next planting season. Choice of rotation crop is restricted following application of Authority Broadleaf. (See "ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES" for your geographical region.)

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY BROADLEAF, which contains the active ingredients Sulfentrazone and Chlorimuron-ethyl is a group 14 and 2 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 management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations a nd/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 successful implementation of a weed resistance management program.

4

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 BROADLEAF 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 contro lled 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 escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and 2 and/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 2 herbicides. · Avoid making more than two applications of AUTHORITY BROADLEAF and any other Group 14 and 2 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 pr actices, such as mechanical 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..

FOR USE ON SOYBEANS ONLY Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply aerially. Do not feed treated soybean forage or soybean hay to livestock. Do not apply Authority Broadleaf more than once per season. Do not apply more than 0.375 lb ai/A sulfentrazone per year.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Authority Broadleaf Herbicide is a dispersible granule formulation, packaged as a blend in a 17 pound bag or premeasured in a 25.6 ounce soluble pack, 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 many broadleaf weeds and provide partial control of annual grasses. Preemergence and preplant incorporated applications of Authority Broadleaf require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and following time of treatment, soil pH, texture, organic matter, moisture and precipitation. This label contains specific use directions for two dis tinct geographical use areas for Authority Broadleaf. The Midwest States and the Southern States and are defined under APPLICATION METHODS. This label also contains ge neral use information which is applicable to all Authority Broadleaf use geography.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY Authority Broadleaf rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. Following application of preplant incorporation or preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds ma y germinate and emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves become yellow 3 - 5 days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species while others will remain green but stunted and noncompe titive. Authority Broadleaf provides partial control of some annual grasses when used preplant or preemergence but other products may be needed to ensure adequate grass control. Poor growing conditions such as excessive moisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the presence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these conditions the active ingredients in Authority Broadleaf, like other soil applied herbicides, can injure soybeans. However, these early injury symptoms are short lived and do not result in yield reductions.

WEEDS CONTROLLED PREEMERGE: ALL STATES Use Restrictions: This product, Authority Broadleaf Herbicide may only be used in accordance with the Product Application Information and the specific crop use directions. When used as directed Authority Broadleaf will provide control of the following weed species: Carpetweed Mustard, wild Purslane, common Cocklebur Nightshade, Black Ragweed, common Copperleaf, Hophorbeam Nightshade, Eastern Black Senna, Coffee Copperleaf, Virginia Nightshade Hairy Smartweed (annual) Florida beggarweed Nutsedge, Purple Spurge, Spotted Jimsonweed Nutsedge, Yellow Sunflower, wild Kochia Pigweed Velvetleaf Lambsquarters Palmer amaranth Waterhemp, common Mallow, Venice Redroot Waterhemp, tall Morningglory Smooth Annual Spiny amaranth Ivyleaf Poinsettia, wild Emtireleaf Prickly sida (teaweed) Pitted Smallflower Tall

Weed species which can germinate deep in the soil such as pitted morningglory, sicklepod, cocklebur, and giant ragweed or other weeds; such as nutsedge, which may emerge at various times during the growing season may require a cultivation or an application of Skirnish herbicide for season-long control.

When used as directed Authority Broadleaf will provide partial control of the following weeds:

Barnyard grass Goosegrass Sesbania, Hemp Burcucumber Johnsongrass, seedling Sicklepod Carbgrass Mexicanweed Signalgrass, broadleaf Foxtail, species Panicum, Texas and fall

For additional instructions on weed control, see comments following Table 1.

APPLICATION METHODS- ALL STATES Do not apply Authority Broadleaf after the soybean crop has emerged or severe injury or death of the crop will occur. Authority Broadleaf may be applied by any of the methods listed below. These methods apply to both geographical use areas, the Midwest States and the Southern States. Midwest States: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania. Southern States: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri bootheel, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. RAINFALL ACTIVATION FOR PREEMERGENCE ACTIVITY Best results are obtained if Authority Broadleaf is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation (~1") before w eeds germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4"each are not as beneficial as one large rainfall of ½ -1". On dry soil, mo re moisture is required for activation (1-2") before weed emergence. If moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, rotar y

hoeing or shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. CONSERVATION TILLAGE: EARLY PRE-PLANT IN NO-TILL, MINIMUM TILL, OR STALE SEEDBED Authority Broadleaf applied Early Pre-plant (no more than 30 days prior to planting, but after the emergence of broadleaf weeds and small annual grasses) will provide burndown of many existing weeds as well as normal preemergence broad leaf weed control. When used for burndown, Authority Broadleaf is rainfast after one hour. For specific burndown claims, adjuvant recommendations, Authority Broadleaf use rates and other tankmixes, see: Midwest section- Pre-plant Burndown Directions Southern Section - Burndown Directions PREPLANT INCORPORATED Uniformly incorporate Authority Broadleaf or Authority Broadleaf tankmixes no deeper than the top 1-2" of soil prior to planting soybeans. Use equipment suited to proper incorporation into the top 1-2 inches of soil, e.g.: Do-all, field cultivator, or rote rra. Authority Broadleaf can be tank mixed with "Command 4EC" and applied preplant incorporated. Refer to the "Command" label for specific use instructions. If tankmixed with a grass herbicide such as a Dinitroaniline (DNA) like 'Treflan”, "Sonalan", or ''Prowl" or an acetanilide such as "Dual", ''Frontier", or "Lasso” follow label instructions for proper incorporation of the gr ass herbicide into the top 1 to 2" of soil. Improper soil incorporation can result in erratic weed control or crop injury. If soil is dry, rainfall (~1") is required to activate preplant incorporated herbicides such as Authority Broadleaf before weed emergence. NOTE: Consult Lasso Dual, Frontier, Prowl , Treflan , Sonalan, or Command labels for additional weeds controlled, use rates an d instructions when Authority Broadleaf is used in conjunction with these herbicides.

APPLICATION INFORMATION EQUIPMENT / SPRAY VOLUMES Ground Application: Apply uniformly by ground equipment with a properly calibrated low pressure (20 to 40 psi) fixed- boom sprayer equipped with fan-type nozzles and screens no finer than 50 mesh. Use 10 to 40 gals of water per acre. Continuous agitation in the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension. Avoid overlap and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping, as injury to the crop may result. SPRAY TANK PREPARATION It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide deposits before using Authority Broadleaf. Follow the spray tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously sprayed. If no cleanout procedure is provided, follow the cleanout procedure in SPRAYER CLEANUP section of this label. Mixing Instructions

  1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water
  2. While agitating, add the required amount of Authority Broadleaf
  3. Once the Authority Broadleaf is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. (Soluble packs should dissolve completely within 5 minutes.)
  4. Authority Broadleaf should be thoroughly mixed with water in the spray tank before adding any other material. As the tank is filling and any Soluble Packs have dissolved, add (in order): other herbicide(s), the required spray adjuvant, and the nitrogen fertilizer where required.
  5. Apply Authority Broadleaf spray preparation within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation
  6. If the mixture has settled, thoroughly reagitate before using
  7. To improve mixing with liquid fertilizers prepare a slurry in water before adding to spray tank.

Additional Use and Handling Information for Authority Broad/eat When Packaged in Water Soluble Packets Soluble Packs are contained in waterproof, resealable plastic bags. The individual Soluble Packs will dissolve completely in water. Open the outer resealable plastic bag, remove the number of 25.6 ounce Soluble Packs required for the application. DO NOT attempt to open or use partial Soluble Packets. Soluble Pack Handling Precautions: The outer resealable plastic bag is NOT soluble in water. DO NOT place it in the spray tank. Excessive handling of the packs, or exposure to moisture, will cause breakage. Do not touch the packs with wet hands or place them on wet surfaces. Protect unused Soluble Packs by resealing them in the resealable bag. SPRAYER CLEANUP To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediate following applications of Authority Broadleaf as follows:*

  1. Drain tank; thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces of the tank; then flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water for minimum of 5 minutes.
  2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one of the cleaning agents listed below. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the boom, hoses, and nozzles. Add water to completely fill th e tank and allow to agitate or recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the boom, hoses and nozzles, and drain the tank.
  3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water and the cleaning agent
  4. Repeat Step 2.
  5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the boom and hoses. NOTE: Use any of the following cleaning agents. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaning agent instructions.
    1. One gallon of household ammonia (contains 3% active) per 100 gallons of water.
  6. Nutra-Sol
  7. Loveland Tank and Equipment Cleaner

  9. Chem.-Tank Cleaner and Neutralize
  10. Incide-Out
  11. Tank-Aid *A steam-cleaning of fiberglass or stainless steel aerial spray tanks is recommended prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL PH- ALL STATES Soil pH varies greatly, even within the same field. pH variations as much as 2 pH units are common. Composite soil samples taken across an entire field, such as those samples taken for soil fertility recommendations, may not detect areas of high pH. Sub- sampling is recommended for areas likely to have pH values higher than the field average. The following is a non-inclusive lis t of potential high pH areas where subsampling is recommended. x Where different soil types are evident within a field, sample soil types separately. x Where conditions vary within a field, sample areas separately, such as:

  • areas bordered by limestone gravel roads,
  • river bottoms subject to flooding,
  • low areas in hardpan soils where evaporative ponds may occur,
  • eroded hillsides,
  • along drain tile lines, and
  • areas where drainage ditch spoil has been spread. x Where lime has not been deeply incorporated, soil may exhibit significantly higher pH values in the upper 3 inches of soil Composite soil samples taken at a 6-8 inch depth may not reflect the elevated pH near the su rface. In these cases shallow sampling, the upper 3 inches, is advised. Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis using a 1:1 soil:water suspension.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Ground Boom Applications: •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. • For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Boom-less Ground Applications: • Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • 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 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 th e 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 unfavorable environmental conditions. (See information on Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in subsequent sections). Controlling Spray Droplet Size Ground Boom 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. Ground applicators must use a minimum finished spray volume of 10 gallons per acre. When sulfentrazone is tank mixed with a contact burndown herbicide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume of 15 gallons per acre.

Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.

Spray Nozzle Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

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.

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.

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 invers ion. 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.

Sensitive Areas The pesticide should only be applied when the wind is blowing away from sensitiv e areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).

Off-Target Movement of Authority Broadleaf Herbicide Drift of dilute spray mixtures containi ng Authority Broadleaf Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will significantly dimini sh

15

the risk of off-target spray drift. Authority Broadleaf Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by drift on to sensitive crops and other plants. This symptomology may manifest initially as di screet, localized spots where contacted by Authority Broadleaf Herbicide drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of the sp ray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dosag e of sulfentrazone) and also depending on the inherent sensitivity of the pl ants involved, these spots or lesions may or may not coalesce. These effects will usually not have lasting effects on plant growth but will likely reduce the value of affected fru it or foliage where grade or quality is associated with appearance. In severe drift instances with particularly sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage could result. Failure to follow these guidelines and environmental prohibitions that then result in off-tar get movement or drift of Authority Broadleaf Herbicide on to 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 Broadleaf Herbicide

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. .

Air assisted ground field crop sprayers Air assisted field crop sprayers carry dropl ets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potentia l for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/ or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assisted sprayer is recommended. Boom-less Ground Applications: • Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.”

Handheld Technology Applications: • Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

  1. Back to back application of ALS or ALS containing herbicides can occasionally result in residual herbicide stacking and potential crop injury. Applicator and/or grower is responsible should be aware of previous herbicide use and potential interaction it may have with AUTHORITY BROADLEAF application.
  2. All direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) to other crops or to land scheduled to be planted to crops other than soybeans should be avoided.
  3. Ensure the seed furrow is closed and the seed covered on acres treated with AUTHORITY BROADLEAF.
  4. Soybean stunting may occur if excessive rainfall occurs after application but before soybeans emerge. Injury is more prevalent under poor drainage or compacted conditions or when soil is sa turated for long periods of time. Soybeans outgrow stunting once favorable growing conditions return.
  5. Do not apply AUTHORITY BROADLEAF if there are visible signs of cracking due to soybean emergence, or serious crop injury such as but not limited to stand loss may result.
  6. Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (mor e than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of crop injury.
  7. Do not tank mix AUTHORITY BROADLEAF with organoph osphate insecticides. Do not apply AUTHORITY BROADLEAF within 14 days before or after an application of an organophosphate insecticide, as severe crop injury may occur.
