WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
F6482 45DF 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 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 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 F6482 45DF 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 escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and 5 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 herbic ide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved
on adjacent weeds;
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plant s of a particular weed species; and
- Surviving plants mixed wi th 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 F6482 45DF 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 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
F6482 45DF Herbicide is a dry flowable formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective preemergence or preplant
incorporated weed control in asparagus, field corn (grain, seed corn, forage and silage), potato, soybeans, sugarcane and transplanted
tomatoes. When applied according to the instructions on this la bel, F6482 45DF Herbicide will control listed broadleaf, and sed ge
weeds, and provide grass suppression
The mode of action of F6482 45DF Herbicide involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Preemergence and preplant incorporated
applications of F6482 45DF Herbicide require rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or irrigation required
for activation following applicati on depends on existing soil moisture, organic ma tter content and soil texture. If adequate mo isture
(1/2” to 1”) is not received within 7 to 10 days after the F6482 45DF Herbicide treatment, a shallow cultivation may be needed to obtain
desired weed control. When sufficient moisture is received after dry conditions, F6482 45DF Herbicide will provide control of
susceptible germinating weeds.
Proper handling instructions: This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells an d
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 pads or properly diked mixing/loading
areas. Operations that involve mixing, l oading rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or applicat ion
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 ac ross the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to
contain any product spills or equi pment leaks, container or equipm ent rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pa d.
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 capa city of
the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to comp letely
exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity 100% of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment on the pad. Containment capa cities as described above shall be main tained at all times. The above specifi c
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 operation containment.

PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
F6482 45DF Herbicide is labeled for use on asparagus, field corn (grain, seed corn, forage, and silage), potato, soybeans,
sugarcane, and transplanted tomatoes. DO NOT use on any other crops.
Ground Application
Utilize a boom and nozzle sprayers equipped wi th the appropriate nozzles, and screens and adjusted to provide optimum spray
distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets
to avoid spray drift or inadequate foliar and soil coverage. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Be aware that
overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping, or turning while spraying may result in excessive application and
subsequent response. Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in
the nozzle manufacturers recommendations and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. Se lect coarse to very coarse droplet
size 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).
Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before application. Check sprayer during application to be sure it is working properly.
Water or liquid fertilizer must be used as the carrier for F 6482 45DF Herbicide, when applied al one, or when tank mixed with ot her
soybean or sugarcane herbicides. A jar test for compatibility of liquid fertilizer and F6482 45DF Herbicide tank mix is recommended if
the compatibility of the liquid fertilizer and F6482 45DF Herbicide is unknown.
Continuous agitation during application is required. Avoid overlap. Shut off spray booms while turning, slowing, or stopping, as over
application may result. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with the F6482 45DF Herbicide spr ay
mixture remaining in the tank.
SOYBEAN TOLERANCE
F6482 45DF Herbicide has been tested on a number of soybean cultivar s, however, it has not been tested on all soybean varieties .
The vast majority of cultivars tested when used according to label guidelines have demonstrated tolerance to F6482 45DF Herbicide.
A limited number of soybean cultivars have shown some level of in jury when used according to l abel guidelines and should not be
planted when an F6482 45DF Herbicide program is planned.
Do not use F6482 45DF Herbicide on the following soybean varieties: Altona, AP55, AP 71, Asgrow 6520, Burlison, Coker 102,
Coker 156, Dassel, GL 3202, Govan, Maple Amber, NB 3665, NKS 1884, Paloma 350, Portage, Regal, Semmes, Terra-Vig 505,
Terra-Vig 606, Tracy, Vansoy, and Vinton 81. For further inform ation regarding soybean tolerance to an F6482 45DF Herbicide
treatment consult University or Extension weed management specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars
and any other pertinent information on F6482 45DF Herbicide under specific local conditions prior to applying product.
If cool/cold weather or heavy rainfall occurs immediately following an F6482 45DF Herbi cide application, soybean stunting or st and
loss could occur. Yields have not been affected where early season stunting has occurred. Injury to soybeans can also occur un der
the following conditions: (1) excess ive rate for soil type, (2) boom overlap, (3) improper sprayer calibration, (4) error in mi xing
procedures, (5) when soils have a calcareous su rface area or pH greater than 7.5, (6) soil incorporation deeper than specified, (7)
when applied with organophosphate pes ticides, (8) when heavy rains occur after applic ation, especially in poorly drained areas, (9)
when soybeans are planted less than 1 1/2 inches deep, (10) on any soil with less than 0.5% organic matter.
Aerial Application
Use Restrictions
Aerial application is allowed onl y when environmental conditions prohibit ground appli cation. When this pr oduct is applied by air,
applicator must use a minimum fini shed spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. The ma ximum release height must be 10 feet from the
top of the canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
These requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications. T hese requirements do not apply to
forestry applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom mu st not exceed ¾ the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point bac kward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Observe the regulations of the State where applications are made.
4. Applicators must observe and abide by the requi rements of the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory.
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 larg e 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 unfavorable environmental conditions. (See information on Wind, Temperature and
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in subsequent sections).
Page 5
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 manufacturers 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.
Nozzle Orientation For aerial application, the recommended practice is to orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to
the airstream. This orientation usually produces larger droplets as compared to other nozzle orientations. Significant nozzle deflection
from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift 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 for both ground and aerial applicat ions. Solid stream nozzles oriented straig ht back
usually produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift potential in aerial applications
Boom Length For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height - Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plant canopy
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 aerial applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the
upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compen sate for this displacement by the path of the aircraft upwind .
Swath adjustment or offset distance shoul d increase when conditions favor increased drift potential (higher winds, smaller drop lets,
etc).
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 pot ential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wi nd
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 should not occur during a temperature 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 in versions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common 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 b e
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. Sm oke 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 wh en the wind is blowing away from sens itive areas (e.g. residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).
Off-Target Movement of F6482 45DF Herbicide
Drift of spray mixtures containing F6482 45DF Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental conditions,
correct application equipment design, calibratio n and application practices will significa ntly diminish the risk of off-target spray drift.
F6482 45DF Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by dr ift onto sensitive crops and other plants. This symptomology may
manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by F6482 45DF Herbicide drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of
the spray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dos age of sulfentrazone) and also depending on the inherent
sensitivity of the plants involved, these s pots or lesions may or may not coalesce. T hese effects will 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 appea rance. In
severe drift instances with particularly s ensitive crops, defoliation of affected folia ge could result. Failure to follow these guidelines
and environmental prohibitions that then result in off-target mo vement or drift of F6482 45DF Herbicide onto unintended crops o r
plants, irrespective of severity, constitu tes misapplication of this product. FMC a ccepts no responsibility or liability for po tential crop
effects that may result from such misapplication of F6482 45DF Herbicide.

MIXING & LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide deposits before applying F6482 45DF Herbicide. Follow the
spray tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously applied before adding F6482 45DF Herbicide to the tank.
For best results, fill spray tank with one half the volume of cl ean water or liquid fertilizer solution needed for the field to be treated.
Start agitation system. When mixing F6482 45DF Herbicide in a spra y tank with anything other than clean water (fertilizer, prev ious
herbicide mixtures, etc..), F6482 45DF Herbicide should be slurri ed in a separate container with clean water before being added to
the spray tank.
Slowly add the slurry to the spray tank. Car efully rinse the slurry cont ainer, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Complete f illing the
spray tank to the desired level. Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to main tain a uniform spray solution. Refer to
RATE TABLE 1 (conventional soybeans) or RATE TABLE 2 for (reduced rate soybeans) for the proper application rate. Make sure
F6482 45DF Herbicide is thoroughly mixed before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.
For tank mixtures with other soybean or sugarcane herbicide(s), a jar test should be conducted to ensure product compatibility before
full-scale mixing. Provided the jar test i ndicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows. Fill the spray tank
one fourth full with clean water. With agitator operating, add the specified amounts of ingredients using the following order: dry granules
first, liquid suspensions (f lowables) second. Add EC products followed by remaining adjuvants and/or carrier to tank as agitati on
continues and tank is filled with liquid carrier. All applicable directions, rest rictions, and precautions for the tank mixture herbicide(s)
must be followed.
Apply F6482 45DF Herbicide spray mixtures immediately after mixing. Do not store mixture. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for
any extended period for time with F6482 45DF He rbicide spray mixture remaining in the tank. If F6482 45DF Herbicide was tank
mixed with other soybean or sugarcane herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions, and precautions for the additional herbicides
must also be followed.
SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
As soon as possible after spraying F6482 45DF Herbicide and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer
must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid potential crop affects using the following procedure. Residues left in mixing equipment, sp ray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. In addition, users must take appropriate
steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F6482 45DF Herbicide as required on the other product
labels.
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 sp ray nozzles and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separate ly in
the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at le ast 3% active) per 100 gallons of
clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly
flush hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the spra yer can be achieved if the ammonia soluti on or fresh water is left in the spray tank,
hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.

Preplant (Fall Applications)
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied in the fall as a residual treatment prior to corn planting the following spring.
F6482 45DF Herbicide can be used alone or in a tank mixture with other herbicides to control susceptible broadleaves, sedges an d
grasses in corn. Apply F6482 45DF Herbicide in conventional till age or conservation tillage (reduced tillage or no-tillage) cro pping
systems using rates specified. F6482 45DF Herbicide should be applied to the stubble or soil surface and allow moisture from rainfall
or snow to move the product into the soil. Do not mechanically in corporate in the fall or spri ng as this operation can destroy the
herbicide barrier allowing weed escapes to occur. Do not apply to frozen soils or existing snow cover to prevent F6482 45DF Herbicide
runoff from rain or snowmelt that may oc cur following application. F6482 45DF Herb icide may be tank mixed with other burndown
herbicides to control emerged weeds in the fall or residual soil herbicides that are labeled for fall use on corn. Select the correct F6482
45DF Herbicide use rate for corn for your soil type and organic matter. Due to the extended period of time between the fall application
and corn planting, the use rate of F6482 45 DF Herbicide should be the mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropria te soil
type and organic matter.
Pre-Plant or Pre-Emergence (Spring Applications)
Field Corn
Apply F6482 45DF at 5 - 22.2 oz/A as a pr eplant or preemergence treatment control or suppression of grass, broadleaf, and sedge
weeds including certain herbicide resistant weeds. Make pre-plant applications within 4 weeks prior to planting. Make pre-emergence
applications from planting up to 3 days after planting, if seedlings have not broken the soil surface and the seed furrow is completely
closed. Corn should be planted at least 2 inches deep. Applications shall be made with ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons
of finished spray per acre or by aerial application in a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray per acre.
If weeds are present, F6482 45DF should be tank mixed with a bur ndown herbicide such as Dicamba, Glyphosate, Paraquat, Rage
D-Tech or other appropriate pre-plant or pr e-emergence herbicides at the proper labeled rate. Refer to the tank mix partner pro duct
Page 10
labels for specific use directions, weed control claims, precautionary statements, and restrictions. Read and follow the most restrictive
label in the tank mix for weed control.
Following an application of F6482 45DF, a postemergence application of atrazine, glyphosate, glufosinate, or other suitable herbicides
is recommended for season long weed control. Re fer to the tank mix partner product labe ls for specific use directions, weed control
claims, precautionary statements, and restrictions. Read and follow the most restrictive label in the tank mix for weed control.
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied more than once preemergnce to the same crop in split or sequential applications to provide
season-long control of difficult-to- control existing or late emerging weeds.
Preplant Incorporated
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventional
tillage corn. F6482 45DF Herbicide should be shallowly incorporated or mixed thoroughly into the soil to a maximum depth of 2 inches
using a correctly adjusted implement such as a field cultivat or, field finisher or disk harrow. Incorporating F6482 45DF Herbic ide
deeper than 2 inches may result in inconsis tent weed control. Use the appropriate rate for the soil texture, organic matter, an d pH
level of the soil. F6482 45DF Herbicide can be tank mixed with other soil-applied herb icides and insecticides labeled for prepl ant
incorporation in corn. Observe all prec autions, instructions, and rotational croppi ng guidelines of each products label when tank
mixing, including all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.
Aerial application
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum cover age while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply
sufficient spray volume to achieve adequate coverage. Apply a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray per acre.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
PRECAUTIONS
These Crop Specific Use directions are bas ed upon the interactive effects of F6482 45DF Herbicide (sulfentrazone and metribuzin )
and the primary soil and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user
is required to observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Product Application Instructions, F6482 45DF

Use higher rates for soils of pH less than 7.0 and lower rates for pH greater than 7.0 within the rate range.
Ground and Aerial Applications
Apply F6482 45DF Herbicide by aerial applic ation as a preemergence treatment followi ng planting and after drag-off, but prior t o
potato emergence. Optimum performance can be ac hieved if F6482 45DF Herbici de is applied to the soil surface and either rainfal l
or overhead irrigation is used to activate the product. If no moisture is received wi thin 7 days following application in areas without
irrigation, a shallow incorporation (less t han 2 inches) may be needed prior to weed and potato emergence to activate the produ ct.
Select the appropriate use rate based on soil texture and organic matter. For control of emerged weeds at the time of the F6482 45DF
Herbicide application, an appropriate burndown herbicide and adjuvants labeled for potatoes may be tank mixed with to control these
weeds. Do not apply F6482 45DF Herbicide if the potatoes have emerged from the soil as undesirable crop response may occur.
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be tank mixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in potatoes to improve weed management
and increase weed control spectrum.
Apply F6482 45DF Herbicide in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray by ground application and 5 gallons of spray by air.
Page 11
Chemigation Applications
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied to potatoes through sprinkler irrigation systems in cluding center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
solid set or hand move irrigation systems. Apply F6482 45DF Herb icide prior to potato emergence using sufficient water (0.25 to 0.5
inch per acre) to provide thorough soil surface coverage, but to avoid runoff of irrigation water. F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied
with other products labeled for chemigation use in potatoes.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) followi ng a F6482 45DF Herbicide soil application may
significantly increase the amount of sulfent razone available in soil solution. Irrigat ion with water having a pH greater than 7 .5 could
result in adverse crop response. This res ponse will ultimately depend on initial F 6482 45DF Herbicide application rate, applica tion
timing, amount and pH of irrigation water; the sensitivity of the crop and the crop growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop
response will lessen with advances in the crop growth stage.
Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, F6482 45DF Herbicide will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Nightshade, Eastern black
Filaree, redstem Pigweed, redroot
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Pigweed, smooth
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhemp, common
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weed Controlled section in this label.
PRECAUTIONS
Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applic ations. When using F6482 45DF Herbicide on an untested variety,
always determine the crop tolerance before planting. Some potato varieties, including Sangre, Shepody and Snowden, have shown
sensitivity to F6482 45DF Herbicide. Caution should be used when planting these varieties on marginal coarse soils.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactiv e effects of F6482 45DF Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the prima ry
soil and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and to lerance among crops. The user is requir ed to
observe the instructions and guidance previ ously presented under Product Application Instructions, F6482 45DF Herbicide Product
Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent t o the
anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all variet ies or cultivars of a given cr op species have been evaluated u nder
treatment with F6482 45DF Herbicide. Consul t university or extension weed management specialists for additional information on
specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent information on F6482 45DF Herbicide under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
Use of low pressure and high volume wand equipment is prohibited.
Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.
Do not apply F6482 45DF Herbicide after potato emergence from the soil as undesirable crop response may occur.
Do not apply more than a maximum single appl ication of 22.2 oz/A of F6482 45DF Herbicide (0.25 lb ai/A sulfentrazone and 0.37 lb
ai/A metribuzin).
Do not apply more than a maximum annual application of 22.2 oz/A of F6482 45DF Herbicide (0.25 lb ai/A sulfentrazone and 0.37 l b
ai/A metribuzin).
SOYBEANS (Except in CA)
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied as a preeme rgence or preplant incorporated treatment for the control of weeds in soybeans
as described in the following.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ground Application
Utilize a boom and nozzle ground sprayer equipp ed with the appropriate nozzles, spray ti ps and screens and adjusted to provide
optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine
spray droplets to avoid spray drift or inadequate foliar and/or soil coverage. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre
by ground. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning while spraying may result in excessive
application and subsequent crop response.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Aerial Application
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum cover age while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply
sufficient spray volume to achieve adequate coverage. Apply a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray per acre.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Page 12
FALL APPLICATIONS
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied as a fall treatment to th e stubble of harvested crops for the burndown of existing vegetat ion
and preemergence control of labeled weeds the following spring in no-till and conservation tillage production systems. F6482 45 DF
Herbicide can be applied to the stubble of a harvested crop in no-till or to the soil surface of c onservation tillage fields af ter harvest
when the sustained soil temperature is 55 degrees F and falling at a soil depth of 4 inches. Apply after September 30 in those areas
North of Interstate 90 and after October 15 in those areas North of Interstate 40. To obtain adequate weed control in all areas soils
must have sustained temperature of 55 degrees F or lower. Applic ations to ridge till production sy stems must be made after the
formation of ridges or beds.
If weeds are emerged at the time of application, utilize a tank mixture with a suitable burndown herbicide at labeled rates. Fall applied
burndown treatments must be made with a minimum of 15 gallons per acre to achieve adequate coverage of the weeds being treated.
Gallonage should be increased where weed density is high or heavy crop residue levels are present. When making burndown
applications to emerged weeds, the addition of ad juvants such as crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO) to the
spray mixture can be used to enhance the burndown activity of the application. If weeds are present at time of F6482 45DF Herbicide
application apply with appropriate burndown herb icides for improved control of existing weeds. Refer to product labels for use rates
and instructions. For F6482 45DF Herbicide application rates refer to RATE TABLE 1 for standard rate programs and RATE TABLE
2 for reduced rate programs in glyphosate and glufosinate tolerant soybean systems.
SPRING APPLICATIONS
EARLY PRE-PLANT
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied up to 30-45 days prior to planti ng (Early Preplant) in no-till or minimum till cropping sys tems.
For applications earlier than 30 days prio r to planting, the high rate in the rate range may be needed for extended residual co ntrol.
F6482 45DF Herbicide provides li mited burndown of small weeds. F6482 45DF Herbici de applied early pre-plant must be applied in
combination with the appropriate burndown herbicide such as glyphosate, glufosinate, gramoxone, and/or 2,4-D to achieve acceptable
control of existing weeds during application. The addition of crop oil concentrate at 1 quart per acre or non-ionic surfactant at 0.25%
will increase the burndown effectiveness of F6482 45DF Herbicide. For F6482 45DF Herbicide application rates refer to RATE TABLE
1 for standard rate programs and RATE TABLE 2 for reduced rate programs in glyphosate and glufosinate tolerant soybean systems.
PREPLANT INCORPORATED
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied preplant incorporated prior to planting soybeans. F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied alone
or in combination with other preplant incorporated herbicides labeled for soybeans. Do not incorporate deeper than 2 inches. Improper
soil incorporation may result in errati c weed control and/or crop injury. F6482 45DF Herbicide may be followed by labeled
postemergence soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. Always follow the most restrictive label when
tank mixing. For F6482 45DF Herbicide application rates refer to RATE TABLE 1 for standard rate programs and RATE TABLE 2 for
reduced rate programs in glyphosate and glufosinate tolerant soybean systems.
PREEMERGENCE
F6482 45DF Herbicide can be applied from 30 days before planting and up to 3 days after planting, but before the crop seed germinate
to prevent injury to emerging crop seedlings. F6482 45DF Herbicide applied after crop emergence will cause severe injury to the crop.
Please refer to section 13 for more information regarding soyb ean tolerance F6482 45DF Herbicide can be applied alone or in
combination with other labeled soybean herbicides for preemergence grass contro l. F6482 45DF Herbicide can be applied
preemergence following the use of a preplant incorporated grass herbicide labeled for use on soybeans. If weeds are present at time
of F6482 45DF Herbicide application apply with appropriate burndown herbicides for improved control of existing weeds. Refer t o
product labels for use rates and instructions . Properly closed planter seed furrows ar e required before F6482 45DF Herbicide
application to avoid crop injury. For F6482 45DF Herbicide application rates refer to RATE TABLE 1 for standard rate programs and
RATE TABLE 2 for reduced rate programs in glyphosate and glufosinate tolerant soybean systems.

REDUCED RATE F6482 45DF HERBICIDE PROGRAMS FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
HERBICIDE TREATMENTS (RATE TABLE 2)
F6482 45DF Herbicide may be applied as an early preplant, preplant incorporated or pr eemergence treatment followed by labeled
postemergence soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. F6482 45DF Herbicide may also be followed
by a postemergence application of a glyphosate product to glyphosate tolerant soybeans. Apply the specified application rate of F6482
45DF Herbicide for suppression of weeds in gly phosate tolerant soybeans, maintaining control with sequential applications of
registered postemergence herbicides. Refer to the partner pr oduct labels for specific use di rections, weed control claims,
precautionary statements, and restrictions.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If initial planting of soybeans fails to produce a stand due to adverse environmental conditi ons, only soybeans may be replante d in
fields treated with F6482 45DF Herbicide when us ed according to directions in Soybean se ction. Do not retreat field with a seco nd
application of F6482 45DF Herbicide or crop injury may occur unless specifically allowed in other sections of the label. Do not replant
treated fields with any crop at intervals th at are inconsistent with the Rotational Cr op Guidelines found on this label for F64 82 45DF
Herbicide. When specified tank mi x combinations are used, consult the product la bel for replanting and recropping instructions and
observe the directions that are the most restrictive.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not apply F6482 45DF Herbicide after soybeans have emerged. Severe injury will occur when F6482 45DF Herbicide applications
are made after soybean emergence.
RESTRICTIONS
Do not apply more than a maximum single appl ication of 20 oz/A of F6482 45DF Herbi cide (0.23 lb ai/A sulfentrazone and 0.33 lb
ai/A metribuzin).
Do not apply more than a maximum annual applicat ion of 22 oz/A of F6482 45DF Herbicide (0.23 lb ai/A sulfentrazone and 0.33 lb
ai/A metribuzin).
Do not apply to soils classified as Sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.
Do not apply F6482 45DF Herbicide to frozen soil.
Do not incorporate deeper than 2 inches.
Do not graze treated soybean or harvest for forage or hay.
