|
||
|
||
User Safety Recommendations:
|
||
Users should:
|
||
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
|
||
Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outsides of gloves before
|
||
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
• Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Carfentrazone-ethyl 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 high water mark, except as specified
|
||
on this label. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash.
|
||
|
||
Fish Advisory Statement: This product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms, particularly in clear,
|
||
shallow water bodies that are adjacent to treated areas. Transport to water by runoff or spray drift of this
|
||
product in areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark, should
|
||
be avoided. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
For ground water:
|
||
Residues of this chemical have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected
|
||
in ground water. Residues of this chemical may leach into ground water if the chemical is used in
|
||
areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
For surface water:
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true
|
||
for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow gr ound water. This product 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
|
||
carfentrazone-ethyl residues from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
|
||
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Physical/Chemical Hazards
|
||
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
|
||
|
||

|
||
you will apply the product.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, F9070-1 is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop
|
||
plants naturally resistant to F9070-1 and other Group 14 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate
|
||
the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance
|
||
management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
• Rotate the use of F9070-1 or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
|
||
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
|
||
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on
|
||
resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control
|
||
the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance prone partner. Consult your local extension
|
||
service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to
|
||
resistance.
|
||
|
||
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
|
||
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
|
||
mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
|
||
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed competitive crops or varieties)
|
||
and other management practices.
|
||
|
||
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development.
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled
|
||
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading
|
||
patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled
|
||
individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected
|
||
area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage.
|
||
Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment
|
||
when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this
|
||
product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if
|
||
available.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
|
||
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
F9070-1 is an emulsion oil in water formulation. F9070-1 is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or
|
||
mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops as a harvest aid and to
|
||
defoliate/desiccate labeled crops.
|
||
Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds. F9070-1 is a contact
|
||
herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of
|
||
desiccation.
|
||
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices
|
||
may affect the activity of F9070-1. Herbicide symptoms may be accelerated under moist conditions. Weed
|
||
control may be reduced when weeds are hardened off by drought and become less susceptible to F9070-
|
||
1.
|
||
|
||

|
||
TANK MIXTURES (See specific crop application instructions for additional tank mixture restrictins and
|
||
information)
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each
|
||
product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
F9070-1 may be tank-mixed with other registered harvest aid products. Refer to this and other product’s
|
||
labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each
|
||
tank mix partner. When preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing
|
||
proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products.
|
||
Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitation of the
|
||
ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should
|
||
not be applied. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as
|
||
follows: Fill the tank one fourth full with water. With the agitator operating, add the recommended amounts
|
||
of ingredients using the following order: dry granules first, and liquid suspensions (flowables) second. As
|
||
the agitation continues and the tank is filled with water add emulsifiable concentrate products third followed
|
||
by the addition of water soluble products.
|
||
|
||
ADJUVANT USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum performance. Refer to the individual crop
|
||
sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
|
||
|
||
ON-FARM TESTING
|
||
Not all varieties or cultivars of labeled crops have been fully evaluated under all environmental and soil
|
||
conditions. Consult with your local seed company for additional information.
|
||
It may also be beneficial to conduct small on-farm trials under actual conditions with specific varieties or
|
||
cultivars before treating large acreage.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INFORMATION
|
||
Mixing and Loading Instructions
|
||
Start by filling the tank with ¾ of the desired volume of clean water and, with agitation, add the proper
|
||
amount of F9070-1. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired volume. Maintain sufficient agitation to
|
||
keep materials in solution during both mixing and application and until the spray tank has been emptied.
|
||
For tank mixtures, follow your local extension guidelines for mixing order. General guidelines are: add dry
|
||
materials first and agitate until mixed; then EW or water soluble liquids; then EC formulations; then, add
|
||
adjuvants last. Ensure the compatibility of other products and/or liquid fertilizers with F9070-1 before mixing
|
||
them together in the spray tank.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Precautions
|
||
Avoid the overnight storage of F9070-1 spray mixtures. If spray solution is stored overnight or longer,
|
||
thoroughly agitate spray mixture before applying the solution. Premixing F9070-1 spray solutions in nurse
|
||
tanks is not recommended. Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the spray
|
||
solution has been used. Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or
|
||
above pH 8. Buffer spray solution to alter the pH range as appropriate.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
|
||
Many new 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 F9070-1 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
|
||
F9070-1 as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray
|
||
system is cleaned immediately following the application.
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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 F9070-1 spray solution remaining
|
||
in the tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
|
||
|
||
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning
|
||
any application.
|
||
|
||
Should small quantities of F9070-1 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.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION METHODS
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver uniform spray droplets to the targeted
|
||
plant or plant parts. Adjust sprayer nozzles to achieve uniform plant coverage. Overlaps and slower ground
|
||
speeds (caused by continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may result in higher application
|

Broadcast Boom Sprayers
|
||
Use a broadcast boom sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted
|
||
to provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles
|
||
that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise
|
||
required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per
|
||
acre. Use higher spray volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Adjust sprayers to
|
||
position spray tips no lower than 12-18 inches above the crop or weed canopy depending on the nozzle
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
specification. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows or
|
||
into the whorl of treated crop plants.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount
|
||
of fine droplets. Apply at a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray per acre. Spray volumes greater than 5
|
||
gpa may be needed for harvest aid and defoliation treatments, or for dense weed populations or with heavy
|
||
crop canopies.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
|
||
APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
|
||
|
||
F9070-1 is a contact PPO herbicide. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact
|
||
desirable vegetation. F9070-1 is not volatile, however; mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive
|
||
plants.
|
||
|
||
The interaction of equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The
|
||
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
|
||
|
||
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from
|
||
applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public
|
||
health uses, or to applications of dry materials. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
|
||
be observed.
|
||
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
|
||
Information On Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The optimum drift management
|
||
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets
|
||
reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift when applications are made improperly, or under
|
||
unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature
|
||
Inversions).
|
||
|
||
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate
|
||
carriers.
|
||
|
||
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the
|
||
upwind side, immediately prior to application.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
|
||
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated
|
||
flows usually produce larger droplets.
|
||
|
||
Pressure - Do not use pressures greater than that specified by the nozzle manufacturer. For many nozzle
|
||
types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate
|
||
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
|
||
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
|
||
Nozzle Orientation – For aerial application, orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the
|
||
airstream. A parallel orientation results in larger droplets than other orientations and reduces air turbulence
|
||
and the production of small droplets. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and
|
||
increase drift potential.
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
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 aerial applications,
|
||
solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and potentially the least drift.
|
||
|
||
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 – Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of spray
|
||
droplets to evaporation and wind movement. Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater
|
||
than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.
|
||
|
||
Swath Adjustment - Swath adjustment distance must increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind,
|
||
smaller drops, etc.).
|
||
|
||
Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) - The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was
|
||
developed to encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically verified
|
||
to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of DRTs should result in significantly less pesticide from
|
||
spray applications drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by those applications, compared to
|
||
spray technologies that do not meet the minimum DRT standard. EPA-verified drift reduction technologies
|
||
(DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the following webpage as they become available:
|
||
https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-and-rated-driftreduction-technologies
|
||
|
||
Wind - Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including
|
||
droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Applications shall be
|
||
avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Do not apply F9070-1
|
||
when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
|
||
shall be familiar with local wind patterns and how they 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 – Do not apply F9070-1 during a temperature inversion because the 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 light variable
|
||
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures
|
||
with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form
|
||
as the sun sets and often continue into the following morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground
|
||
fog. However, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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.
|
||
|
||
Shielded Sprayers - Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it
|
||
is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with
|
||
uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
|
||
Sensitive Areas – F9070-1 shall only be applied when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive
|
||
areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species and
|
||
non-target crops).

|
||
COTTON
|
||
Timing and Method of Application
|
||
|
||
Managed Maturity Application for Cotton
|
||
Apply F9070-1 as an aid to remove undesirable top growth and reduce unproductive terminal growth. Use
|
||
alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton insecticides and herbicides. Read all product labels and follow
|
||
all directions and precautions when tank mixing with this product.
|
||
|
||
Timing
|
||
Apply F9070-1 when cotton is actively growing and the plants have 15% to 25% open bolls; with applications
|
||
at 20% open bolls being optimum. When using the Cotman monitoring program, apply F9070-1 at NAWF5,
|
||
plus 450 – 650 heat units. Avoid Managed Maturity treatments to fields, or areas of fields, that are stressed.
|
||
|
||
F9070-1 Use Rates
|
||
Apply F9070-1 as a broadcast spray at 1/4 fl oz/A (0.004lb ai/A) to 1/2 fl oz/A (0.008 lb ai/A), targeting 3/8
|
||
fl oz/A (0.006 lb ai/A) in spray volume adequate to obtain upper canopy coverage of the plant foliage. In
|
||
|
||
12
|
||
situations of extremely lush growth, apply up to 1/2 fl oz/A (0.008 lb ai/A). Make applications using a
|
||
minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and a minimum of 5 gallons per
|
||
acre by air. Good upper canopy coverage is essential for optimum performance. Use a quality crop oil
|
||
concentrate (COC) at the recommended rate of 1% v/v.
|
||
|
||
Defoliation / Harvest Aid Application
|
||
Apply F9070-1 as a harvest aid to defoliate and desiccate cotton and troublesome weeds that may be
|
||
present at harvest. Apply F9070-1 alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton harvest aids.
|
||
Use a quality spray adjuvant e.g. nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) at the
|
||
recommended rates. Use NIS adjuvants during warmer periods with COC being the better choice for
|
||
applications during cooler periods.
|
||
Make application when 60 to 70 percent of the bolls are open, or according to the State Agricultural
|
||
Extension Service guidelines in the use area.
|
||
Apply F9070-1 up to 1.6 fl oz/A (up to 0.025 lb ai/A) in spray volume sufficient to provide complete coverage
|
||
of cotton foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5
|
||
gallons per acre for aerial application. Coverage is essential for good defoliation. Repeat application if
|
||
necessary to remove remaining foliage or control regrowth. Do not apply more than 3.2 fl oz/A (0.05 lb
|
||
ai/A) total as a harvest aid. Dense cotton canopy, large plant size, and environmental conditions not
|
||
conducive to complete plant coverage may reduce initial application performance and increase the need
|
||
for a second application.
|
||
|
||
Apply F9070-1 alone, as a tank mix, or as a sequential application alone or tank mixed with other registered
|
||

|
||
POTATO
|
||
Timing and method of application
|
||
|
||
Apply F9070-1 alone or in a tank mix combination with other herbicides and insecticides as a harvest aid
|
||
to desiccate potatoes and those susceptible weeds that may be present.
|
||
|
||
Harvest Aid Desiccation Application
|
||
Apply F9070-1 as a broadcast spray at a rate of 3.2 to 5.8 fl oz/A (0.05 to 0.09 lb ai/A) per acre or 2.0 –
|
||
5.8 fl oz/A with other registered potato desiccants. Apply F9070-1 foliar to potatoes in the later stages of
|
||
senescence for desiccation of potato foliage and vines. F9070-1 will also desiccate late season susceptible
|
||
broadleaf weeds to aid in tuber harvest. Adequate desiccation is generally achieved within 14 days after
|
||
the initial treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active vegetative growth stage when desiccation
|
||
is initiated, two applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem tissue. Dense potato
|
||
canopy, large plant size, and environmental conditions not conducive to product absorption or activity will
|
||
reduce initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second application. If a second application is
|
||
necessary, apply at 7 to 14 days after the first application. Thorough coverage of the potato plant to be
|
||
desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of water to obtain thorough coverage of the potato leaves
|
||
and vines.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Apply F9070-1 in at least 20 gallons of water per acre. Vary the spray volume and spray pressure as
|
||
indicated by the density of the potato canopy and vines to assure thorough spray coverage. Increase the
|
||
spray volume and pressure if the potato canopy is dense or under cool, cloudy or dry conditions. Increased
|
||
spray volumes will enhance performance.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Apply F9070-1 with aerial equipment using 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre, using higher volumes when
|
||
potato canopies and vines are dense. Adjust the nozzles to provide a uniform pattern and a droplet size of
|
||
350 to 450 microns.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC) or other suitable
|
||
surfactant mixture is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of
|
||
spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate
|
||
(COC)(petroleum or seed oil) at 1 to 2 v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution. The use of a
|
||
high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons spray solution)
|
||
or ammonium sulfate (AMS) used at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic surfactant
|
||
methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed.
|
||
Adjuvant rates should increase as spray volumes exceed 20 gallons per acre.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
Apply F9070-1 as a tank mix or as a sequential application with other potato desiccants. Refer to the other
|
