ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
F9324-9 is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of
equipment wash waters or rinsate. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Drift and runoff
may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
Groundwater Advisory: The active ingredients in this product are known to leach through soil into groundwater under
certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
Surface Water Advisory:
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain water. This is especially true for
poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
reaching surface water via runoff for several months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip
between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will
reduce the potential loading of F9324-9 from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by
avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. See the manual for "Conservation Buffers to
Reduce Pesticide Losses" at the following internet address:
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsIW2Q/pest/core4.htmi.
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement:
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 minimizing
spray drift.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
F9324-9, contains two Group 14 (fluthiacet-methyl and fomesafen) herbicides based on the mode of action
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other
cultural practices.
Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for
resistance.
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
management program.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present.
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
• Apply full rates of F9324-9 for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed
size) to minimize weed escapes.
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
local retailer, or county extension agent.
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to
this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14
and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed
production.
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
program.
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of F9324-9 and any other Group 14 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, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops
and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
Page 6 of 20
• 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
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
Always apply F9324-9 under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid applying
F9324-9 to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures, excessive water, low
humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may
result.
Rainfastness
F9324-9 requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied postemergence.
Cultivation
Cultivation immediately prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under
stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying F9324-9 may assist weed control.
Page 7 of 20
ADJUVANTS REQUIREMENT:
An adjuvant or a product containing an adjuvant is required with F9324-9 for maximum consistent performance. See
Mixing and Loading Instructions section for further information. Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops
under 40 CFR 180.1001 may be used in spray mixture.
1. Adjuvants for F9324-9 Alone
Use either non-ionic surfactant (NIS) 0.25 0.5% by volume, crop oil concentrate (COC) 0.5 - 1% by volume,
methylated seed oil (MSO) 0.5 - 1% by volume, organo silicone (OS) 0.25% by volume or an equivalent blended
adjuvant. COC or MSO are recommended under dry conditions and low relative humidity for in crop use and for all
burndown applications.
In addition to an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at
recommended use rates may also be added to the spray solution.
DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution except for preplant burndown applications.
2. Adjuvants for F9324-9 in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix partner. Follow all
restrictions and precautions on the tank mix partners label.
See Specific Crop section for additional use information on adjuvants.
MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells),
sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback
does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked
mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed

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.
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of
excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
1. The spray equipment must be clean before using this product. If it is contaminated with other materials, mixing
problems and/or clogging may occur or crop injury may occur.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application, and DO NOT let the spray mixture
stand in the spray tank overnight.
3. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation.
4. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly after each use and apply rinsate to an appropriate area.
Page 8 of 20
Mixing F9324-9 Alone
1. Add 1/4-1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of F9324-9 to the spray tank. Continue agitation in the spray
tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse.
3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water.
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Mixing F9324-9 in Tank Mixtures with Other Pesticides
F9324-9 is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. Follow
WALE (Wettable/dry, Agitate, Liquids, and Emulsifiable Concentrates) mixing guidelines. BEFORE MIXING F9324-9
WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL OF THE TANK MIX
PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR THE USE ON THE TARGET CROP AND THAT USE PATTERNS
ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF F9324-9. When using F9324-9 in a tank mixture with other pesticides, observe
the most restrictive label limitations and precautions for the products being used.
Tank Mixing Steps
1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry formulation tank
mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse.
3. Add the required amount of F9324-9 to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has completely
and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them to completely and
uniformly disperse.
4. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water.
5. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure surface action until
the mixture is uniform.
6. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any tank mix
partner labels.
Compatibility Test
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure F9324-9 compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in
the ingredient rates.
1. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars.
Note: Use the same source of water and the other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank
mixed and applied. It is important that all components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of
those used for the actual application.
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent
to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately
with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the appropriate amount of
any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount
of herbicides for this test follows:
Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar.
Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-
30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of
incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either
mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the
mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility.
a) Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or
b) Add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable
pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, DO NOT use the mixture.
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and Disposal section
of this label.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
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. If a dense crop
and or weed canopy is present use a minimum of 20 gallons per acre of finished spray volume by ground application.
For best results apply F9324-9 with medium spray droplets. 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. Mix the amount which will
be used for spraying on that day.
RESTRICTIONS:
DO NOT apply F9324-9 when crop foliage is wet due to heavy dew, rain, or irrigation moisture.
DO NOT apply if crop is under severe stress due to drought, cold weather, hail, flooding, water-logged or compacted
soil, disease, insect damage, nutrient deficiency (especially low nitrogen levels), or other causes.
Application to weeds that are under severe stress due to drought or to weeds that are taller than the optimum heights
listed in Table 1 may result in reduced weed control.
DO NOT tank mix with Organo Phosphate (OP) insecticides.
DO NOT apply when sustained winds exceed 10 mph.
DO NOT use flood type or other spray nozzles, which deliver coarse, large droplet sprays.
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or
crop canopy.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Aerial Applications:
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
helicopters.
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
• 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
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a
height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
Page 16 of 20
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications
during temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
Take precautions to minimize spray drift
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read
and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additives label. If using an additive that
increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray
solution.
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology
(CPDA).
CROP ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
The following rotational crops may be planted after applying F9324-9 at recommended rates:
Minimum Rotation Interval
Crop to be planted After last F9324-9 application
Cotton, soybeans, Dry beans, potatoes, snap beans 0
Small grains including wheat, barley, rye, Peppers (transplanted),
tomatoes (transplanted)

REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If replanting is necessary in fields previously treated with F9324-9, the field may be replanted to cotton or soybeans if
the total amount of F9324-9 per year has not been exceeded. During replanting, a minimum of tillage is recommended
to preserve the herbicide barrier for effective weed control. DO NOT apply a second application of F9324-9 or other
fomesafen containing product as crop injury or illegal residues may occur in harvested crops. If tank-mix combinations
were used, refer to product labels for any additional replanting instructions.
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Many pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops Residues left in mixing equipment, spray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible
after spraying F9324-9 and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must
be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper
equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F9324-9 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.
If the sprayer sets overnight or for any extended period of time with F9324-9 spray solution, the spray tank needs to be
agitated and purge the spray boom and nozzles before beginning any application.
Should small quantities of F9324-9 remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may
be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. FMC
accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
When F9324-9 has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously or tank mixed with F9324-9 for
cleaning instructions.
DO NOT drain of 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.

PC: Partial control means significant activity but not always at a level considered acceptable for commercial weed control
aFor effective control of this weed it is necessary to use 1% MSO and 2.5% UAN v/v as an adjuvant in Regions 2 and 3 (soybeans only)
Some weeds have shown PPO resistance in different geographies. Utilize a different herbicide mode of action for their control.
SOYBEAN
Preplant Burndown Application:
Apply F9324-9 at 5 7.25 oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) with
other registered burndown herbicides or preemergence herbicides in water or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down
treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting of labeled crops (for in crop applications see crop sections).
F9324-9 must be tank mixed with the appropriate burndown herbicide such as glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2,4-
D, etc. for maximum burndown control. F9324-9 improves control, speed and desiccation of weeds when used as part
of a burndown tankmix. F9324-9 is a contact herbicide therefore thorough coverage is essential for adequate control.
For optimum performance make applications to actively growing weeds. Always use the most restrictive label language
when applied in a tank mix.
Page 20 of 20
Postemergence Application:
When applied alone apply F9324-9 at 5 - 7.25 fl oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A
fluthiacet-methyl) applied from preplant through the full flowering stage of development (prior to R3 stage). The spray
boom should be maintained a minimum of 18 inches above the crop canopy to ensure uniform spray delivery. For
optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 2 to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3
inches across. Coverage is essential for good control. Refer to Table 1 for weeds controlled at labeled rates of F9324-
9. Use 10 to 30 gallons per acre of finished spray solution by ground. For optimum weed control use higher gallonage
to obtain better spray coverage. Apply a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray solution by aerial application.
Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control could result in commercially unacceptable
weed control. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of soybean leaves may occur following postemergence applications,
but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally.
Tank Mixture Use:
Apply F9324-9 at 5 to 7.25 fl oz/A (0.1126 - 0.1633 lb ai/A fomesafen and 0.0046 - 0.0066 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) in
combination with glyphosate, glufosinate or other registered soybean herbicides for improved postemergence control
of many broadleaf weeds such as Velvetleaf, Lambsquarters, Morningglory, Palmer pigweed, Waterhemp and others.
For adjuvant use refer to adjuvant use section.
Adjuvant Requirements:
Use either non-ionic surfactant (NIS) 0.25 to 0.5% by volume, crop oil concentrate (COC) 0.5 to 1% by volume,
methylated seed oil (MSO) 0.5 to 1% by volume, organo-silicone (OS) 0.25% by volume or an equivalent blended
adjuvant. COC or MSO are recommended under dry conditions and low relative humidity for in crop use and for all
burndown applications. MSO is known to enhance crop response under high relative humidity conditions. In addition to
an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at recommended
use rates may also be added to the spray solution. DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution except for
preplant burndown applications.
Adjuvants for F9324-9 in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix partner. Follow all
restrictions and precautions of the most restricted product in the tank mix.
