handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. Mixers and loaders
supporting aerial applications are required to use closed systems. The closed system must be used in a
manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)]. When using the closed system, the mixers and loaders PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
User Safety Recommendations:
Users should:
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and 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.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to fish and 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.
Mixing/Loading Instructions
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal
of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.
Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing and/or irrigation equipment.
F7583-3 Herbicide may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and
drainage wells), sinkholes, 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, 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.
Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
Groundwater advisory : S-metolachlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain
conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter .
Surface water advisory: Sulfentrazone can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some
conditions, this product may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution
in runoff water), for several to many months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils
with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlying
extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying tile drainage
systems that drain to surface waters.
S-metolachor may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. S-metolachlor is classified as having high potential for
reaching 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, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of S-metolachlor from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
expected to occur within 48 hours.
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 site. Protect the
forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.
Reporting ecological incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to
plants and animals, call 800-331-3148.
Physical/Chemical Hazards
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift.
Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the Agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
Endangered Species Protection Requirements: It is a Federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that
results in an unauthorized “take” (e.g. kill or otherwise harm) of an endangered species and certain
threatened species, under the Endangered Species Act section 9. When using this product, you must follow
the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in which you are
applying the product. You must obtain a Bulletin no earlier than six months before using this product. To

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
F7583-3 Herbicide, which contains the active ingredients sulfentrazone and S-metolachlor is a group 14
and 15 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
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed
species and weed sizes present.
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
x Apply full rates of F7583-3 Herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified
time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your local
retailer or county extension agent.
x 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 by multiple sites of action. Some weeds may be controlled
by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than
Group 14 and 15 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:
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
x 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:
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed
control program.
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 and 15 herbicides.
x Avoid making more than two applications of F7583-3 Herbicide and any other Group 14 and 15
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.
x 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.
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain
resistant weeds.
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
F7583-3 Herbicide is a soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge
weeds.
If adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") from rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days after the F7583-
3 Herbicide treatment, a shallow incorporation (less than 2”), may be needed to obtain desired weed control.
When activating moisture is not received a planned post-emergence application of a labeled herbicide will
be needed for optimum weed control. If an activating rainfall (½” to 1”) is not received F7583-3 Herbicide
will provide a reduced level of control of susceptible germinating weeds.
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting directions,
rotational crop guidelines and other label information of each product when tank mixing with F7583-3
Herbicide. Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered.
F7583-3 Herbicide can be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer, or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and
applied as a preplant or preemergence treatment to labeled crops. It is the pesticide users responsibility to
ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the
most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mix mixture.
Under normal growing conditions, F7583-3 Herbicide exhibits excellent crop safety. Soil applications of
F7583-3 Herbicide must be made before crop seed germination to prevent injury to the emerging crop
seedlings. F7583-3 Herbicide applied after crop emergence will cause severe injury to the crop. Poor
growing conditions, such as excessive soil moisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the
presence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these conditions, the active ingredients
in F7583-3 Herbicide can contribute to crop response. Refer to the specific directions of use for a particular
crop/use pattern as set forth below for additional information.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Ensure the seed furrow is closed and the seed covered on acres treated with F7583-3.
2. 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 saturated for long
periods of time. Soybeans outgrow stunting once favorable growing conditions return.
3. Do not apply if there are visible signs of cracking due to soybean emergence, or serious crop injury may
result, such as but not limited to stand loss.
4. Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt
concentration, or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of crop injury.
5. When tank mixing, follow the most restrictive use rates and precautions of the mixing partners.
Mechanism of Action
Following the application of F7583-3 Herbicide to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up F7583-3
Herbicide from the soil solution. The amount of F7583-3 Herbicide in soil solution available for weed uptake
is determined primarily by soil type, soil organic matter and soil pH. Similar to other herbicides, F7583-3
Herbicide adsorbs to the clay and organic matter (OM) fractions of soils; effectively limiting the amount of
active ingredient immediately available to control weeds.
Influence of soil type, organic matter and pH on F7583-3 Herbicide use rates and
crop response
Coarse textured and high pH >7.2 soils (see Table 1) will exhibit increased weed control and crop response
with F7583-3 Herbicide. It is important to know the soil type and soil pH levels of the field (or areas within
a field) before application to determine the proper rate of F7583-3 Herbicide for the crop. Soil organic
matter content and soil pH can vary widely and independently of soil type and requires an accurate analysis
of representative soil samples or grids of soil samples within a specific field to determine its content.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a F7583-3 Herbicide soil
application can also significantly increase the amount of F7583-3 Herbicide available in the soil solution.
Irrigation with water having a pH greater than 7.2 could result in adverse crop response. This response will
ultimately depend on initial F7583-3 Herbicide application rate, timing, amount and pH of irrigation water
and sensitivity of the crop and its growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen
with the advance in growth stage among most crops.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ground and Aerial Application
Utilize a sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles providing optimum spray distribution and coverage
at the appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets
to avoid spray drift. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray solution per acre by ground or 5 gallons
by air. The sprayer should be properly calibrated to deliver the appropriate volume of herbicide solution. Be
aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning while spraying may result
in excessive application and subsequent crop response. When sulfentrazone is tank mixed with a contact
burndown herbicide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume of 15 gallons per acre.
Restrictions
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target
areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
1. Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under
these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
2. Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
3. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops,
unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
Aerial application will be allowed when the field is too wet to safely apply pesticides using ground
equipment.
Chemigation Application
Apply F7583-3 Herbicide in 0.25 to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume on coarse textured soil and
higher volume on fine textured soils. Applying >1” of irrigation water may result in reduced weed control by
moving the product below the weed germination zone in the soil. Apply immediately after planting unless
specified differently in the individual crop section. F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied through sprinkler
irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal residues on or in the crop ca
n result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should
contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person
knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The
pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a
functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and
connected to the system interlock to prevent fl uid from being wit hdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional
interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor
stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of
being fitted with a system interlock.
F7583-3 Herbicide should be metered into the irrigation system continuously for the duration of the water
application. F7583-3 Herbicide should be diluted in sufficient volume to ensure accurate application over
the area to be treated. Use the appropriate amount of water to carry the product to the soil surface.
Continuous agitation is required to maintain product suspension in the solution tank. A jar test should be
conducted to ensure that phase separation would not occur during dilution and application. Failure to
achieve a uniform dilution throughout the time of application may result in undesirable residues or less than
desirable weed control. Flush the lines at the completion of the application and then turn the water off
promptly.
When using water from public water systems; DO NOT APPLY F7583-3 Herbicide THROUGH ANY
IRRIGATION SYSTEM PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM. Public water system
means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has
at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60
days of the year. F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied through irrigation systems, which may be supplied by
a public water system only if water from the water system is discharged into a reservoir tank prior to
pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill
pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there is no blockage of
the overflow of the reservoir tank.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a F7583-3 Herbicide soil
application may significantly increase the amount of sulfentrazone available in soil solution. Irrigation with
water having a pH greater than 7.2 could result in adverse crop response.
Restrictions
Do not apply by chemigation if there are visible signs of cracking due to soybean emergence, or serious
crop injury may result, such as but not limited to stand loss.
Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Do not connect any irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a
public water system.
Application with Dry Fertilizers
F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied impregnated on dry fertilizers. When applied as directed with adequate
soil coverage, F7583-3 Herbicide dry bulk fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control.
Follow all F7583-3 Herbicide label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops,
incorporation, special instructions and precautions. Apply F7583-3 Herbicide/dry fertilizer mixtures with
ground equipment only. All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, registration,
labeling, and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company preparing, storing,
transporting, selling or applying the F7583-3 Herbicide/dry fertilizer mixture.
Impregnation Directions
To impregnate F7583-3 Herbicide on dry bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly
used dry bulk fertilizer blender equipped with suitable spray equipment.
Prepare a slurry of F7583-3 Herbicide in a clean container using clear water. Slowly add the F7583-3
Herbicide/water slurry to the impregnation spray tank and finish filling as needed with clear water. Spray
nozzles must be placed to provide uniform coverage of F7583-3 Herbicide onto the fertilizer during mixing.
Refer to the SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT section for directions for cleaning impregnation
equipment, transport equipment, loading equipment and application equipment.
Apply the F7583-3 Herbicide dry bulk fertilizer with an accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The
F7583-3 Herbicide dry bulk fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly on the soil surface. Uneven
spreading leaving untreated areas can cause poor weed control or overlapping areas with potential
increased F7583-3 Herbicide use rates could result in possible crop response.
A minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with the listed amount of F7583-3 Herbicide
must be applied per acre to achieve adequate soil coverage for satisfactory weed control.
Refer to the appropriate crop section of the F7583-3 Herbicide label to determine the rate of F7583-3
Herbicide to be applied per acre. Use the following table to determine the amount of F7583-3 Herbicide to
be impregnated on a ton (2000 pounds) of dry bulk fertilizer based on the rate of fertilizer that will be applied
per acre.
For those rates not listed in Table 2, calculate the amount of F7583-3 Herbicide to be impregnated on a ton
of dry bulk fertilizer using the following formula:

Restrictions
DO NOT impregnate F7583-3 Herbicide onto coated on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium
nitrate either alone or in blends with other fertilizers because these materials will not absorb the herbicide.
Do not use F7583-3 Herbicide alone or in mixtures on straight limestone, since absorption will not be
achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated.
To avoid crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where bedding occurs.
Application with Liquid Fertilizer
F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied using liquid fertilizer or fertilizer and water mixtures as the carrier.
Adequate soil coverage is essential to achieve acceptable levels of weed control.
Herbicide mixing, solution stability and/or compatibility problems may occur when liquid fertilizers are used
as a carrier. Compatibility tests must be conducted prior to mixing to ensure tank mixture compatibility and
stability. The use of compatibility agents may be beneficial to achieve and maintain a homogenous solution.
Mixing Instructions for Liquid Fertilizer Applications
Fill the clean spray tank to one half of the total volume with the fertilizer solution. Start the spray tank
agitation system. Pre slurry F7583-3 herbicide with water prior to adding to the spray tank. Carefully rinse
the empty container, adding the rinsate to the spray tank.
Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level. Sufficient and continuous spray tank agitation is required
at all times to maintain a homogenous spray solution. The spray system must be designed such that there
is sufficient flow capacity to uniformly apply the spray mixture and maintain adequate tank agitation. Some
systems may require separate pumps to simultaneously supply the spray system and the spray tank
agitation system. Ensure the F7583-3 Herbicide slurry is thoroughly mixed before application.
For tank mixtures with other herbicide(s), a compatibility test must be conducted to ensure product
compatibility before mixing. Read and follow all the directions, precautions and restrictions of the tank
mixture products prior to mixing.
Apply the F7583-3 Herbicide spray mixture immediately after mixing. It is not recommended to store the
sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with the F7583-3 Herbicide spray mixture remaining
in the tank. Thoroughly re-agitate spray mixture if product is left sitting in the tank for extended period of
time.
If F7583-3 Herbicide is mixed and loaded in nurse tanks, thorough agitation of spray solution is required
prior to off-loading and application.
Follow all F7583-3 Herbicide label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops,
application instructions, incorporation directions, special instructions and all precautions.
All individual state regulations relating to liquid fertilizer blending, storage, transportation, registration,
labeling, and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company preparing, selling or
applying the F7583-3 Herbicide and fertilizer mixture.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless
a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x Select coarse to very coarse droplet size (ASABE S641) when sulfentrazone is used as a
preemergent/preplant application.
x Select medium to very coarse droplet size (ASABE S641) when sulfentrazone is used
postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide.
x Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3 and 10 mph.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
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 Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
x For boom spraying, the minimum release height must be 30 inches from the soil for ground
applications.
x Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when sulfentrazone is used as a preemergent/preplant
application.
x Select medium to very coarse droplet size (ASABE S572) when sulfentrazone is used
postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide.
x Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3 and 10 mph.
x 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 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
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.
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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
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 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.
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.
Off-Target Movement of F7583-3
Drift of dilute spray mixtures containing F7583-3 must be prevented. Observation of the environmental
conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will reduce the risk
of off-target spray drift. F7583-3 can cause damage by drift on to sensitive crops and other plants. This
symptomology may manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by F7583-3 drift mixtures.
Depending on sensitivity of the plants, the concentration of the spray solution and droplets size these spots
or lesions may or may not coalesce. These effects will usually not have lasting effects on plant growth, but
can reduce the value of affected fruit or foliage where grade or quality is associated with appearance. In
drift instances with sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage could result.
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE F7583-3 Herbicide
USE PER ACRE PER 12 MONTH CROPPING YEAR PERIOD
The total allowed usage includes all applications made to the field per twelve-month cropping year. This
includes all pre plant and after plant pre emerge treatments.

MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied alone, or in tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides for the control
of additional weed species. Mixtures with some other pesticides have not been tested. Conduct appropriate
compatibility tests prior to tank mixing with other pesticides. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure
that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most
restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide residues before preparing F7583-
3 Herbicide spray mixtures. For all tanks containing spray solution follow the spray tank clean out
procedures specified on the label of the product or products previously applied.
For best results fill spray tank with one half of the volume of clean water needed for the field to be treated.
Start agitation system. Slowly add the F7583-3 Herbicide to the spray tank. Carefully rinse the empty
container, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level.
Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to maintain a uniform spray solution. Make sure
F7583-3 Herbicide is thoroughly mixed before application.
Use the F7583-3 Herbicide spray mixture immediately after mixing. Avoid storing the sprayer overnight or
for any extended period of time with the F7583-3 Herbicide spray mixture remaining in the tank.
If F7583-3 Herbicide is tank mixed with other labeled herbicides, it is the pesticide users responsibility to
ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the
most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
As soon as possible after spraying F7583-3 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, spray 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 F7583-3 Herbicide as required on the other product
labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the
application.
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. 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 sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water
is 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 F7583-3 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 F7583-3 Herbicide 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.
Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants.
Do not contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops.

Fall Applications
F7583-3 Herbicide may be applied as a fall treatment to the stubble of harvested crops for preemergence
control of labeled weeds the following spring in no-till and conservation tillage production systems. Fall
applications of F7583-3 Herbicide must be made in weed control programs that include, as needed, spring
application of preplant, preemergence or postemergence herbicides for the following crop season.
Applications to ridge till production systems must be made after the formation of ridges or bedded. Apply
when the sustained soil temperature at a 4-inch depth is less than 55 degrees F and falling.
If weeds are emerged at the time of application, utilize a tank mixture with a suitable burndown herbicide
at labeled rates. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are
registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
For Fall Application:
x Apply after September 30 in ND, SD, MN, WI and north of Route 30 in IA.
x Apply after October 15 north of Route 91 in NE and south of Route 30 in IA.
x Apply after October 31 north of Route 136 in IL.
x Do not make fall applications south of Interstate 70.
Early Preplant, Preplant Incorporated, and Preemergence Applications (Spring Applications)
Use on medium to fine soils with minimum tillage or no-tillage systems in CO, CT, DE, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY,
MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, NH, NY, OH, PA, RI, SD, TN, VA, VT, WI, WV, and WY. F7583-
3 Herbicide can be applied Early Preplant, Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence up to 3 days after
planting but prior to emergence. For preplant incorporated applications, incorporation must be uniform and
no deeper than 2 inches. Improper soil incorporation may result in erratic weed control and/or crop injury.
F7583-3 Herbicide applied near or after crop emergence may cause severe injury to the crop. F7583-3
Herbicide can be applied alone or in combination with other soybean herbicides, including those containing
sulfentrazone, as long as the sulfentrazone active ingredient rate does not exceed 0.375 lb a.i./A per 12
month period. Do not apply more than 2.387 lb a.i./A S-metolachlor per 12 month period. F7583-3 Herbicide
may be followed by labeled postemergence soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf
weeds.. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered
for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements
of each product in the tank mixture. When using F7583-3 Herbicide in no-till or minimum till cropping
systems, tank mix with an appropriate burndown herbicide for improved control of existing weeds. Apply on
coarse soils no more than 2 weeks prior to planting.
Precautions
When applying F7583-3 Herbicide with other registered herbicides, refer to specific label information on
precautions, restrictions, instructions, limitations, application methods and timings, and weeds controlled.
Restrictions
x Do not apply more than 38.7 fl oz/A of F7583-3 Herbicide per twelve-month period.

Pigweed, smooth Witch grass
Note: Partial control will occur under dry conditions, under heavy pest pressure or at low use rates under
26 fl oz. Under these conditions plan to use a labeled post-emergence herbicide for improved control.
Preemergence (Spring Applications)
F7583-3 Herbicide can be applied preemergence up to 3 days after planting as a soil surface application if
seedlings have not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed and completely
covered with soil. Adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") is required for herbicide activation from rainfall or irrigation.
If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days after the F7583-3 Herbicide treatment, a shallow
incorporation may (less than 2 inches) be needed to obtain desired weed control. When activating moisture
is not received a planned post-emergence application of a labeled herbicide will be needed for optimum
weed control. If an activating rainfall (½” to 1.0”) is not received F7583-3 Herbicide will provide a reduced
and inconsistent level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. If dry conditions persist, weed control
may be reduced. If applying on coarse soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days
after application before planting.
If weeds are emerged at the time of F7583-3 Herbicide application, use a labeled burndown herbicide such
as Aim herbicide, glyphosate or paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with F7583-3 Herbicide as
needed.
Spring Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
When planting into soil treated preplant with F7583-3 Herbicide minimize soil disturbance to maintain the
herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed control. F7583-3 Herbicide can be applied
as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring up to 2 weeks prior to planting in reduced and
conventional tillage sunflowers. F7583-3 Herbicide should be shallowly incorporated in the soil no deeper
than 2 inches. Incorporating F7583-3 Herbicide deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent weed
control. Use the appropriate rate from Table 6 above for the soil texture, soil organic matter, and soil pH
level.
Precautions
x Plant sunflowers 1.5” deep and completely cover with soil.
x Adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%)
and pH of 7.2 or higher, or on highly eroded soils, hilltops, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings.
F7583-3 Herbicide use rates should be reduced to 14 fl oz in those areas or not applied in these
areas at all. Inadequate seed furrow closure or shallow planting (less than 1.5 inch) may result in
undesirable crop response and this product should not be applied. Poor growing conditions such
as excessive moisture, low temperatures, soil compaction and diseases may also cause
undesirable crop response.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7583-3 Herbicide 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, F7583-3 Herbicide Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines,
Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent to the anticipated
crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given crop species have been evaluated
under treatment with F7583-3 Herbicide. Consult seed companies and university or extension weed
management personnel for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any other
pertinent information on F7583-3 Herbicide under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
x Do not apply more than 38.7 fl oz/A of F7583-3 Herbicide per twelve-month period.
x Do not apply herbicides containing sulfentrazone to sunflowers if F7583-3 Herbicide has been
previously applied within the same twelve-month period.
x The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial F7583-3 Herbicide application.
x Do not apply to frozen soils or existing snow cover to prevent F7583-3 Herbicide runoff from rain
or snowmelt that may occur following application.
x Do not allow livestock to graze or feed in treated area.
x Do not apply after crop seed germination.
x Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.

or soil surface without incorporation. Moisture in the form of rain or snow will move and activate the product.
Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring after application because this activity may destroy the
herbicide barrier and weed escapes can occur. Do not apply to frozen soils to prevent F7583-3 Herbicide
runoff from rain or snow that may occur following application. F7583-3 Herbicide may be tank mixed with
other labeled herbicides to control emerged weeds. When activating moisture is not received a planned
post-emergence application of a labeled herbicide will be needed for optimum weed control. If an activating
rainfall (½” to 1.0”) is not received F7583-3 Herbicide will provide a reduced and inconsistent level of control
of susceptible germinating weeds. If dry conditions persist, weed control may be reduced. Fall application
of F7583-3 Herbicide may require a follow up grass herbicide treatment as grass escapes may occur.
F7583-3 should be applied when the sustained soil temperature is 55°F and falling at a soil depth of 4
inches. Applications to ridge till production systems must be made after the formation of ridges or bedded.
For Fall Application:
x Apply after September 30 in ND, SD, MN and WI and north of Route 30 in IA.
x Apply after October 15 north of Route 91 in NE and south of Route 30 in IA.
x Apply after October 31 north of Route 136 in IL.
F7583-3 Herbicide can be tank mixed with other labeled herbicides. It is the pesticide users
responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users
must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
tank mixture.
Early Preplant and Preemergence (Spring Applications)
F7583-3 Herbicide can be applied early preplant or preemergence up to 3 days after planting if seedlings
have not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed and completely covered with
soil. Adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") is required for herbicide activation from rainfall. If adequate moisture
is not received within 7 to 10 days after the F7583-3 Herbicide treatment, a shallow incorporation (less than
2 inches) may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When activating moisture is not received a
planned post-emergence application of a labeled herbicide will be needed for optimum weed control. If an
activating rainfall (½” to 1.0”) is not received F7583-3 Herbicide will provide a reduced and inconsistent
level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. If dry conditions persist, weed control may be reduced.
If weeds are emerged at the time of F7583-3 Herbicide application, use a burndown herbicide such as AIM
herbicide, glyphosate or paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with F7583-3 Herbicide as needed.
Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
F7583-3 Herbicide can be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in
reduced and conventional tillage dry beans and peas. F7583-3 Herbicide should be shallowly incorporated
in the soil no deeper than 2 inches. Incorporating F7583-3 Herbicide deeper than 2 inches can result in
inconsistent weed control. Minimize furrow and ridge formation in the tillage operations. Use the
appropriate rate from Table 7 above for the soil texture, soil organic matter, and soil pH level.
Precautions
x Under extended periods of dry weather, adequate weed control may not be achieved. Adequate moisture
(½” to 1") is required for herbicide activation from rainfall. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to
10 days after the F7583-3 Herbicide treatment, a shallow incorporation may be needed to obtain desired
weed control. When activating moisture is not received a planned post-emergence application of a labeled
herbicide will be needed for optimum weed control. If an activating rainfall (½” to 1”) is not received F7583-
3 Herbicide will provide a reduced and inconsistent level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. If
dry conditions persist, weed control may be reduced.
x Adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and
pH of 7.2 or higher, or on highly eroded soils, hilltops, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. F7583-3
Herbicide use rates should be reduced to 13 fl oz in those areas or not applied in these areas at all.
Inadequate seed furrow closure or shallow planting (less than 1.5 inch) may result in undesirable crop
response and this product should not be applied. Poor growing conditions such as excessive moisture,
low temperatures, soil compaction and diseases may also cause undesirable crop response.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7583-3 Herbicide 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, F7583-3 Herbicide Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines,
Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled, Crop Liability Disclaimer and any other section of this label
pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given crop
species have been evaluated under treatment with F7583-3 Herbicide. Consult seed companies and
university or extension weed management personnel for additional information on specific local varieties or
cultivars and any other pertinent information on F7583-3 Herbicide under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
x Do not apply more than 38.7 fl oz/A of F7583-3 Herbicide per twelve-month period.
x Do not apply additional sulfentrazone containing products to dry field beans and peas if F7583-3
Herbicide has been previously applied within the same twelve-month period.
x The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial F7583-3 Herbicide application.
x Do not apply after crop emerges, or if the seedling is close to the soil surface.
x Do not incorporate to depths greater than 2 inches.
x Do not apply to frozen soils or to existing snow cover to prevent F7583-3 Herbicide runoff from rain
or snow melt that may occur following application.
x Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.
x Do not use for forage within 60 days after an application of F7583-3 Herbicide.
x Do not cut for hay within 120 days after an application of F7583-3 Herbicide.
HORSERADISH
Apply a single application of F7583-3 at a broadcast rate of 19-25 fl oz/A to the soil surface after planting
but before weed or crop emergence. Use listed lower rates on soils relatively coarse-textured and listed
higher rates on fine textured soils.
Apply in at least 10 gallons per acre finished spray solution by ground.
Following the application of F7583-3 herbicide to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up F7583-3
from the soil solution. The amount of F7583-3 herbicide in soil solution available for weed uptake is
determined primarily by soil type, soil organic matter and soil pH. Similar to other herbicides, F7583-3
herbicide adsorbs to the clay and organic matter (OM) fractions of soils; effectively limiting the amount of
active ingredient immediately available to control weeds. Adequate moisture is required for herbicide
activation (1/2’’ to 1’’ of rainfall or irrigation). If an activating rainfall (1/2’’ to 1’’) is not received F7583-3
herbicide will provide a reduced level of control of susceptible germinating weeds.
Weeds Controlled:
The following is a general list of weeds for which F7583-3 has shown control or suppression. The level of
control will vary per use rate, cropping system, environmental conditions, moisture levels and soil type.
F7583 may not control all of the weeds listed under all crop conditions. For crops where lower use rates
are needed for crop tolerance refer to their specific weed list.
RESTRICTIONS:
x Do not exceed 25 fl oz/A per twelve-month period.
x The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial F7583-3 Herbicide application.
x Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.
x Do not apply directly on the crop after the crop emerges or if the seedling sprouts are close to the
soil surface.
x Harvest horseradish at normal timing.
