WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
CADET Herbicide, referred to below as “Cadet’, contains the active ingredient fluthiacet-methyl, a Group 14 
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 
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 successful 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 to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and 
weed sizes present. 
• 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 Cadet 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 weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species. 
• 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 FMC 
representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. 
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds 
to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use 
the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are 
multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed. 
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 
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 herbicides. 
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including 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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION 
FOR HERBICIDE USE IN CORN AND SOYBEANS 
Cadet is a preplant burndown and postemergence herbicide for control of velvetleaf and other broadleaf weeds in 
soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn (includes field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn grown for seed). 
Cadet can be applied as a preplant burndown treatment alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizer before 
planting corn or soybeans or can be applied after emergence of the crop and broadleaf weeds. There is a wide 
application timing window for preplant and postemergence use in soybean and corn. For preplant and 
postemergence use in soybean the application window ranges from preplant to the full flowering stage. For 
preplant and postemergence use in corn, the application window ranges from preplant until the corn is 48 inches 
tall or prior to tasseling, whichever comes first. Refer to Table 2 for a list of the broadleaf weeds controlled. 
 
Cadet will control velvetleaf up to 36 inches tall. Cadet will also control or partially control certain other annual 
broadleaf weeds. Partial control means significant activity but not always at a level generally considered 
acceptable for commercial weed control. When tank mixed, Cadet may enhance the performance of other 
herbicides in the control of certain broadleaf weeds (see Table 2). Cadet does not control grasses. Therefore, if 
grasses are present at the time of application, Cadet should be mixed with an appropriate postemergence 
herbicide registered for grass control.

The amount of Cadet to apply and the degree of weed control resulting from a Cadet application depend upon a 
variety of factors including weeds present, stage of growth of the weeds, environmental conditions, and growing 
conditions. Weeds under stress because of lack of moisture, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, may 
not be controlled as well as actively growing weeds. Weed death or inhibition can be expected quickly – normally 
within 48 hours after application. 
 
To be effective, Cadet must contact the weed foliage. Thorough coverage with the spray solution gives the most 
effective weed control. A large crop and/or weed canopy as well as a dense crop and/or weed canopy can 
prevent the spray from reaching smaller weeds resulting in reduced control of these smaller weeds. 
 
Soybean and corn are tolerant of Cadet when applied according to label directions. Some bronzing, crinkling, or 
spotting of crop leaves may occur. Soybean and corn rapidly outgrow these effects and develop normally with no 
reduction in yield. 
 
Grazing/Feeding and Harvesting Restrictions 
• DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage or hay to livestock. 
• DO NOT harvest or feed corn grain or stover (fodder) until 70 days after the last application of Cadet. 
• DO NOT harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application of Cadet. 
• DO NOT harvest or feed sweet corn forage or ears until 40 days after the last application of Cadet. 
 
Proper Handling Instructions 
This product may not be mixed or loaded 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. 
This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious 
pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas. 
 
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 moved across the pad. 
Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or 
equipment rinse or wash water, 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 sufficient 
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 equipment on the pad. Containment 
capacities as described above shall 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. 
 
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of 
excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.

MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS 
Spray Additives 
An adjuvant or a product containing an adjuvant approved for use on growing crops is required with Cadet for 
maximum consistent performance. 
1. Adjuvants for Cadet Alone 
Use a spray adjuvant from one of these classes for optimum performance: 
Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) – must have a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as spray adjuvant at the 
rate of 1 quart/100 gallons of spray volume (concentration of 0.25%). 
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) – petroleum or vegetable-based containing not less than 12% emulsifier at 1-2 
pts./A. The concentration should not exceed 2.5% volume/volume. COC is recommended under conditions of dry 
soil and low relative humidity. 
Silicone-based surfactant – apply at a rate of 1 qt/100 gallons or a spray volume concentration of 0.25% or as 
specified on the adjuvant label. 
In addition to an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 
recommended use rates may also be added to the spray solution. 
DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution. 
 
2. Adjuvants for Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix partner. Follow 
all restrictions and precautions on the tank mix partner’s label. 
Compatibility Test 
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure Cadet compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The 
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate 
changes in the ingredient rates. 
 
1. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of water and the 
other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all 
components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used for the actual application. 
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is 
equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them 
separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the 
appropriate amount of any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to 
thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows: 
 
Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar. 
 
Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to 
each jar. 
 
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures 
stand 15-30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or 
other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by 
comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed 
as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving 
compatibility. 
a. Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or 
b. Add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable 
pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, DO NOT use the mixture. 
 
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and Disposal 
section of this label.

How to Mix 
1. The spray equipment must be clean before using this product. If it is contaminated with other materials, 
mixing problems and/or clogging may occur or crop injury may occur. 
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application, and DO NOT let the spray 
mixture stand in the spray tank overnight. 
3. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. 
4. Water-soluble packets must always be the first material put into the spray tank after water. Water-soluble 
packets must be completely dissolved and dispersed in clean water only before any other tank mix 
partners; including adjuvants, micronutrients, or other fertilizers are added to the spray solution. Boron, 
especially in the form of a micronutrient additive may prevent water-soluble packets from dissolving. 
5. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly after each use and apply rinsate to a previously-treated area. 
 
Mixing Cadet Alone 
1. Add 1/4-1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of Cadet to the spray tank. Continue agitation in the 
spray tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse. 
3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water. 
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 
 
Mixing Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
Cadet is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. BEFORE 
MIXING CADET WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL 
OF THE TANK MIX PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR THE USE ON THE TARGET CROP AND 
THAT USE PATTERNS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF CADET. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to 
ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. When using Cadet in a tank mixture with other 
pesticides, users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product 
in the tank mixture. 
 
Tank Mixing Steps 
1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
2. With the agitator running, drop the required number of packets of any products packaged in water-soluble 
packets into the tank all at once. Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow the packets to completely 
dissolve and the contents of the packets to fully and uniformly disperse. 
3. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry 
formulation tank mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse. 
4. Add the required amount of Cadet to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has 
completely and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them 
to completely and uniformly disperse. 
5. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water. 
6. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure surface 
action until the mixture is uniform. 
7. To avoid product degradation, apply the Cadet spray mixture within 48 hours of mixing, and DO NOT leave 
the spray mixture in the tank without continuous agitation. 
8. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any 
tank mix partner labels.

Apply Cadet in a minimum of 15 gallons of water/A. If a dense crop and/or weed canopy is present, use up to 40 
gallons of water per acre and 50-70 psi pressure at the nozzles. 
 
Note: When using higher nozzle pressures, use extreme caution to avoid spray drift to nearby crops. 
 
Use a pump with enough capacity to maintain a rippling or rolling action in the spray tank. For a uniform spray 
mixture, agitation during mixing and application is required. Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the 
appropriate nozzles and screens and adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the 
appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Thorough 
coverage is essential for control of susceptible broadleaf weeds. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground 
speeds while starting, stopping, or turning while spraying may result in excessive application and subsequent crop 
response. 
 
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Cadet applications must be drained and thoroughly 
cleaned with water plus ammonia before being used to apply other products. See Cleaning Spray Equipment 
section of this label 
 
Avoid all direct, and/or indirect spray contact with non-target plants DO NOT apply near desirable 
vegetation. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure. DO NOT 
apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area of treatment.

APPLICATION TIMING 
Weed Stage of Growth 
Apply Cadet after weeds have emerged and are actively growing, but before the weeds have reached the 
maximum height listed in Table 2. Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control 
could result in commercially unacceptable weed control. 
 
Avoid applying Cadet if weeds cannot be evenly covered with the spray or when spray drift is possible. To reduce 
spray drift, DO NOT apply if wind speed is 10 mph or greater. Avoid overlapping the spray pattern since this may 
increase chances for crop injury. 
 
Soybean Stage of Growth 
Cadet may be applied to soybeans from preplant through the full flowering stage (R2) of development. To avoid 
possible illegal residues, the last application should be made no later than 60 days before harvest. This product 
requires a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 60 days. 
 
Field Corn, Sweet Corn, and Popcorn Stages of Growth 
Cadet may be applied to corn from preplant to 48 inches tall, but before tasseling.

CULTIVATION 
DO NOT cultivate within 2 days before or 2 days after applying this product. 
 
APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS 
1. DO NOT apply more than 1.25 fl oz/A/A of Cadet (0.0089 lb ai/A/A fluthiacet-methyl)per year. 
2. DO NOT apply Cadet when crop foliage is wet due to heavy dew, rain, or irrigation moisture. 
3. DO NOT apply if crop is under severe stress due to drought, cold weather, hail, flooding, water-logged or 
compacted soil, disease, insect damage, nutrient deficiency (especially low nitrogen levels), or other 
causes. 
4. Cadet can be applied in tank mixtures to weeds taller than the maximum heights listed in Table 2 provided 
the application follows all timing and rate precautions on the tank mix partner’s label. 
5. Application to weeds that are under severe stress due to drought or to weeds that are taller than the 
optimum heights listed in Table 2 may result in reduced weed control. 
6. DO NOT irrigate within 4 hours of application of Cadet. Rainfall or irrigation may wash Cadet off of the 
weeds during this period and reduce performance. 
7. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixture with Cadet. 
8. DO NOT let spray solution stand overnight in sprayer or shuttle tanks. Make up only the amount of Cadet 
spray solution that will be applied in a given period of time. See Cleaning Spray Equipment. 
 
WEEDS CONTROLLED 
1. Cadet Alone 
At the rates and timings listed, Cadet controls the weeds listed in Table 2 when the product is applied alone after 
emergence of soybean, field corn, sweet corn, or popcorn, and weeds. Cadet only controls certain broadleaf 
weeds after they emerge and does not provide residual control of weeds that emerge later. Weeds larger than the 
size indicated in Table 2 may only be partially controlled.

2. Cadet in Tank Mixtures with Other Postemergence Herbicides to Improve Broadleaf Weed Control 
Cadet may be applied post emergence with glufosinate or glyphosate-based products, or other postemergence 
broadleaf herbicides approved for use on soybeans and corn. Tank mixing Cadet with other postemergence 
herbicides may increase the speed of activity and provide control of the weeds listed in Table 2 Cadet may be 
tank-mixed with other insecticides and fungicides. Some populations of weeds may be tolerant or resistant to 
glyphosate based herbicides. Applying Cadet in a tank-mix with glyphosate on resistant weeds larger than 
specified in Table 2 may result in unsatisfactory control. Other herbicides in tank-mix with Cadet or separately 
may be required to achieve adequate control of these resistant biotypes. 
Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved label for each product in the tank mixture. 
 
3. Cadet in Tank Mixtures for Grass Weed Control 
Cadet does not provide grass control, but it can be tank mixed with any postemergence grass herbicide registered 
for control of grasses in soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, or popcorn. The tank mixture will provide control / partial 
control of the weeds listed in Table 2 and the grasses listed on the tank mix partner’s label. See Table 1 for use 
rates in mixture with a grass control herbicide. 
Mixtures with other herbicides or insecticides may increase crop response over that expected with Cadet alone. 
Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved label for each product in the tank mixture. 
 
4. Cadet Preplant Burndown Application Prior to Emergence 
Apply Cadet at 0.5 – 0.9 fl oz/A/A (0.0035 - 0.0063 lb ai/A ai/A fluthiacet-methyl)with other registered preplant 
burndown herbicides or preemergence herbicides in water or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down treatment to control 
or suppress weeds prior to emergence of corn and prior to cracking in soybeans. Optimum broad spectrum 
control of annual and perennial weeds requires tank mix burndown herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, 
paraquat, 2,4-D, etc. Coverage is essential for good control. For optimum performance make applications to 
actively growing weeds. Always use the most restrictive label language when applied in a tank mix. When Cadet 
Herbicide is used as a preplant burndown treatment DO NOT exceed 0.9 fl oz/A/A (0.0063 lb ai/A fluthiacet-
methyl) per application and the maximum of 1.25 fl oz/A (0.0089 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year. 
 
When applied as directed, Cadet plus labeled herbicides will provide increased speed of activity and 
improved control of weeds listed below Table 3.

droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE 
S572). 
x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Aerial Applications: 
x DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater 
application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators must select nozzle and 
pressure that deliver coarse or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & 
Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641). 
x For all other applications, applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 
(ASABE S641). 
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 a minimum of one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the 
field. 
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. 
x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 
 
 
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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 droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the 
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a 
nozzle with a higher flow rate. 
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume 
and droplet size. 
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles 
designed to reduce drift. 
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft 
x 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 
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For 
ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 
 
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft 
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the 
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. 
 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. 
 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of 
an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft 
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) 
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 
Avoid applications during temperature inversions. 
 
WIND 
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND 
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. 
 
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS: 
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift 
 
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES 
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, 
read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an 
additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly 
with a viscous spray solution. 
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology 
(CPDA). 
 
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
The sprayer must be cleaned before and after use of Cadet. Many pesticides are very active at low rates, 
especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles 
can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after spraying Cadet and before 
using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using 
the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for 
any other products mixed with Cadet as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be 
achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application. Failure to clean sprayer may result 
in unsatisfactory results with Cadet or injury to other crops sprayed with the equipment. 
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove 
physical sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly 
flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and 
all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2. 
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) 
per 100 gallons of clean water or 1 gallon/100 gallons of Valent Tank Cleaner. Prepare sufficient cleaning 
solution to allow the operation of th e spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, 
spray boom and spray nozzles. 
3. Shut down sprayer and keep sprayer system charged with ammonia solution or Valent Tank Cleaner solution 
left in the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage. 
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush 
through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all 
filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution. 
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations 
and guidelines.

DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops. 
DO NOT store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with Cadet spray solution remaining in the 
tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers. 
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning any 
application. 
Should small quantities of Cadet remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they 
may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. 
FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment. 
When Cadet has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously or tank mixed with Cadet for 
cleaning instructions. 
 
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
If soybeans or corn treated with Cadet is lost due to a natural catastrophe such as hail or frost, soybeans or corn 
can be replanted immediately, provided this is not restricted on the label of a product used previously or by a 
product applied in a tank mixture with Cadet. 
For control of weeds in the replanted crop, Cadet may be applied postemergence a second time but the total 
amount of Cadet applied must not exceed 1.25 fl oz/A (0.0089 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year. 
 
ROTATIONAL CROPS 
Any crop may be planted following soybeans or corn treated with Cadet alone. There are no crop restrictions. 
NOTE: For rotational crop restrictions when Cadet is used in tank mixtures or sequentially with other products, 
refer to the rotation intervals on the other product label for possible additional restrictions.
