|
||
Check with your state extension service or Department of Agriculture before use, to be certain
|
||
NUANCE is registered in your state.
|
||
NUANCE is a water dispersible granule that is used for selective postemergence weed control
|
||
in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale, post-harvest burndown, fallow and pre-plant
|
||
burndown weed control. The best control is obtained when NUANCE is applied to young,
|
||
actively growing weeds. The use rate will depend on weed spectrum and size of weed at time
|
||
of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
|
||
weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
weed size at application
|
||
environmental conditions at and following treatment
|
||
NUANCE is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. NUANCE should
|
||
be mixed in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray.
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
NUANCE is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth.
|
||
Leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the
|
||
growing point subsequently dies.
|
||
NUANCE provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds.
|
||
Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However,
|
||
a crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
NUANCE may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as
|
||
extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition,
|
||
different varieties of the crop may have differing levels of sensitivity to treatment with NUANCE
|
||
under otherwise normal conditions.
|
||
Treatment of sensitive crop varieties may injure crops. To reduce the potential of crop injury,
|
||
tank mix NUANCE with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best – see the Tank Mixtures section
|
||
of this label) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds: in
|
||
cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds
|
||
hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to NUANCE
|
||
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application. Several
|
||
hours of dry weather are needed to allow NUANCE to be sufficiently absorbed by weed
|
||
foliage.

|
||
USE RATE
|
||
Apply 0.17 to 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre to wheat (including durum), barley, triticale, fallow
|
||
and pre-plant burndown. Two applications of NUANCE may be made per season provided the
|
||
total amount applied does not exceed 0.33 ounce per acre.
|
||
WHEAT, BARLEY AND TRITICALE
|
||
Use 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre for heavy infestation of those weeds listed in the “WEEDS
|
||
PARTIALLY CONTROLLED” section of this label and/or when application timing and
|
||
environmental conditions are marginal (refer to “BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS” section of this label for best performance).
|
||
Use 0.17 to 0.25 ounce NUANCE per acre for light infestation of weeds listed in the “WEEDS
|
||
CONTROLLED” section of this label. Conditions at application should be optimum for effective
|
||
treatment of these weeds.
|
||
FALLOW
|
||
Apply 0.17 to 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre to fallow fields. Two applications of NUANCE may
|
||
be made per crop season provided the total amount applied does not exceed 0.33 ounce per
|
||
acre.
|
||
NUANCE should be applied in combination with other suitable registered fallow herbicides
|
||
(See the “TANK MIXTURES” section of this label for additional information).
|
||
PREPLANT BURNDOWN
|
||
Apply NUANCE at 0.17 to 0.33 ounce per acre as a burndown treatment prior to planting any
|
||
crop, or shortly after planting wheat (including durum), barley or triticale (prior to emergence).
|
||
Use the higher rate when weed infestation is heavy and predominantly consists of those
|
||
weeds listed under the “WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED” section of this label, or when
|
||
application timing and environmental conditions are marginal. (See the “APPLICATION
|
||
TIMING” section of this label for restriction on planting intervals.)
|
||
Sequential treatments of NUANCE may be made provided the total amount of NUANCE
|
||
applied during one fallow/pre-plant cropland season does not exceed 0.33 ounce per acre.
|
||
NUANCE should be applied in combination with other suitable registered pre-plant burndown
|
||
herbicides (See the “TANK MIXTURES” section of this label for additional information).
|
||
POST HARVEST
|
||
Apply 0.17 to 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre to crop stubble after harvest. Use 0.33 ounce per
|
||
acre rate when weed infestation is heavy and predominantly consists of those weeds listed
|
||
under the “WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED” section of this label, or when application
|
||
timing and environmental conditions are marginal. (See the “APPLICATION TIMING” Section
|
||
for restriction on planting intervals). NUANCE should be applied in combination with other
|
||
suitable registered burndown herbicides (See the “TANK MIXTURES” section of this label for
|
||
additional information).
|
||
Sequential treatments of NUANCE may also be made provided the total amount of NUANCE
|
||
applied during one fallow/pre plant cropland season does not exceed 0.33 ounce per acre.

[Optional language is in brackets]
|
||

|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
WHEAT, BARLEY AND TRITICALE
|
||
Apply NUANCE after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage, but before the flag leaf is visible. Do not
|
||
harvest within 45 days of the last application.
|
||
Since NUANCE has very little or no soil activity, it controls only those weeds that have
|
||
germinated; therefore, apply NUANCE when all or most of the weeds have germinated. For
|
||
best results, annual broadleaf weeds should be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, and
|
||
less than 4” tall or wide. See the “SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS” section of this label for more
|
||
information.
|
||
Rainfall immediately after treatment can wash NUANCE off of weed foliage, resulting in
|
||
reduced weed control. Several hours of dry weather are needed to allow NUANCE to be
|
||
sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage.
|
||
FALLOW
|
||
NUANCE may be used as a fallow treatment when the majority of weeds have emerged and
|
||
are actively growing.
|
||
FOR USE IN FALL FALLOW FOR POST-EMERGENCE BURNDOWN
|
||
NUANCE herbicide may be used at rate of 0.17 to 0.33 oz per acre for postemergence burndown
|
||
of up to 3" emerged weeds in fallow fields in the fall.
|
||
Adjuvants
|
||
An adjuvant must be added to the tank.
|
||
- For best results, add a crop oil concentrate or modified seed oil (methylated, ethylated or
|
||
saponified) at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray)
|
||
- OR, add nonionic surfactant at 0.25 - 0.5% v/v (1 - 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray).
|
||
Crop Rotation
|
||
Following application of NUANCE:
|
||
- Wheat, Barley and Triticale may be planted any time after application.
|
||
- Cotton, Corn, Soybeans and Grain Sorghum may be planted 14 days after application.
|
||
- Sugarbeets, Winter Rape and Canola can be planted 60 days after application.
|
||
- Any other crop may be planted 45 days after application.
|
||
Tank mixes
|
||
NUANCE may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides such as GLYFOS
|
||
® or 2,4-
|
||
D LVE. Read and follow all manufacturer’s label restrictions for the companion herbicide. If they
|
||
conflict with the NUANCE Section 3 label use directions, do not tank mix the herbicide with
|
||
NUANCE.

|
||
herbicide with NUANCE. In fields to be planted to cotton, apply NUANCE at 0.2 ounce per
|
||
acre. In fields to be planted to field corn, grain sorghum, rice or soybeans, apply NUANCE at
|
||
0.17 to 0.33 ounce per acre for control or partial control of the weeds listed on the EPA
|
||
registered label. Allow at least 14 days between application and planting of cotton, corn,
|
||
soybeans or grain sorghum. Include a nonionic surfactant, petroleum based crop oil
|
||
concentrate, or vegetable-seed oil-based product (methylated seed oils are considered a
|
||
vegetable seed-based oil).
|
||
• If another herbicide is tank mixed with NUANCE to increase the broadleaf weed
|
||
spectrum, a petroleum based crop oil concentrate, or vegetable-seed oil-based product
|
||
may be used in place of a nonionic surfactant at 1-2 gallon/100 gallon of spray solution 1-
|
||
2% v/v) to enhance weed control. Use a petroleum-based crop oil concentrate with at
|
||
least 14% emulsifiers/surfactant and 80% oil.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Apply at a rate (concentration) of 0.25-0.5% v/v (1-2 quart per 100 gallon spray solution). Use
|
||
the higher rate in hot and dry conditions to enhance control.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
An ammonium nitrogen fertilizer can be added to a surfactant or a crop oil concentrate to
|
||
enhance control. Alternatively, a high quality, sprayable grade of ammonium sulfate (21-0-0)
|
||
may be used.
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate
|
||
Under dry conditions or during cool weather, a petroleum based crop oil concentrate, or
|
||
vegetable seed oil-based product may be used in place of a nonionic surfactant at 1-2
|
||
gallonl/100 gallon of spray solution 1-2% v/v) to enhance weed control. Use a petroleum-based
|
||
crop oil concentrate with at least 14% emulsifiers/surfactant and 80% oil.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture,
|
||
high salt concentration, and/or drought may weaken cotton seedlings and increase the
|
||
possibility of crop injury. Cotton resumes normal growth once favorable growing conditions
|
||
return.
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• DO NOT apply later than 14 days before planting cotton, corn, soybeans or grain sorghum.
|
||
• DO NOT apply after planting field corn, grain sorghum, rice or soybeans.

FOR VEGETATION BURNDOWN
|
||
NUANCE herbicide may be applied for burndown of the emerged weeds listed below in the
|
||
“Weeds Controlled and Weeds Partially Controlled” sections.
|
||
RATES AND ADJUVANTS
|
||
x Apply NUANCE at 0.17 to 0.33 ounce per acre. Use the higher rate for denser populations
|
||
or where weeds are approaching the maximum size.
|
||
x Add a spray adjuvant (See Surfactants).
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
x Addition of a minimum of 0.50 pound active ingredient per acre of 2,4 D LVE ester (e.g. 1
|
||
pint of a 4 lb/gal 2,4-D LVE formulation) is recommended for best results and required for
|
||
burndown of some weeds.
|
||
x NUANCE
|
||
may be mixed with one or more other suitably registered herbicides such as, but
|
||
not limited to simazine and glyphosate for expanded weed size, weed spectrum, or to add
|
||
residual control. Read and follow all manufacturers label instructions for the companion
|
||
herbicide. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix the herbicide with
|
||
NUANCE.
|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND SPRAY VOLUMES

SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Include a spray adjuvant with applications of NUANCE. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen
|
||
fertilizer may be used.
|
||
Consult your Ag dealer or applicator prior to using an adjuvant system. If another herbicide is
|
||
tank mixed with NUANCE®, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products
|
||
must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 180).
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Apply 0.06 to 0.50% v/v (2 pints to 4 pints surfactant per 100 gallon of spray solution)
|
||
Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic /
|
||
lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12. – See the Tank Mixtures section of this label for
|
||
additional information.
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon oil adjuvant per 100 gallon spray solution) or 2% v/v under arid
|
||
conditions.
|
||
Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality petroleum (mineral) or modified
|
||
vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of
|
||
NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates
|
||
and restrictions.
|
||
In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they
|
||
provide the same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by Cheminova, Inc.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
Use 2 quart/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or
|
||
2 pound/acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quart/acre UAN or 4
|
||
pound/acre AMS under arid conditions.

|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood
|
||
nozzles.
|
||
x For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets.
|
||
x Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray
|
||
volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds. For optimal product
|
||
performance and minimal spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray
|
||
height listed in manufacturers’ specifications.
|
||
x Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
x For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gallon per acre (GPA).
|
||
x For flood nozzles on 30" spacing, use flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent),
|
||
a pressure of at least 30 psi and a spray volume of at least 10 GPA only. For 40" nozzle
|
||
spacing, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacing use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap
|
||
the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
|
||
x "Raindrop RA" nozzles are not recommended for NUANCE applications, as weed control
|
||
performance may be reduced.
|
||
x Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
|
||
For application in California refer to the ”CALIFORNIA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR
|
||
PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CROPS” section of this label for specific ground application
|
||
requirements.
|
||
FOR SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION WITH NUANCE AND BROMOXYNIL CONTAINING
|
||
HERBICIDES (SUCH AS “BISON”, “BRONATE” OR “BRONATE ADVANCED”) FOR
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE WEED CONTROL IN WINTER & SPRING WHEAT & SPRING BARLEY
|
||
IN IDAHO
|
||
NUANCE water dispersible granular may be used in combination with bromoxynil containing
|
||
herbicides (such as “Bison”, “Bronate” or “Bronate Advanced”), for use in fall-seeded wheat,
|
||
spring seeded barley and spring seeded wheat when applied through sprinkler irrigation
|
||
systems in the State of Idaho.
|
||
HOW TO USE
|
||
Use 0.25 to 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre in combination with bromoxynil containing
|
||
herbicides at 3 to 6 ounce active ingredient per acre (such as “Bronate” or “Bison” at 0.75 to
|
||
1.5 pint per acre). Apply to wheat and barley after the 3-leaf stage but before the flag leaf is
|
||
visible. Make only one chemigation application of this tank mixture per crop year. For best
|
||
results, apply to broadleaf weeds up to the 4-leaf stage, or 2 inches in height or 1 inch in
|
||
diameter, whichever comes first. Consult NUANCE and bromoxynil containing herbicides
|
||
package labels for a list of weeds controlled or suppressed.
|
||
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
Apply this tank mix through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move,
|
||
side (wheel) roll, solid set or hand move irrigation systems only. Do not apply these herbicides
|
||
through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal
|
||
|
||
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
|
||
[Optional language is in brackets]
|
||
14
|
||
pesticide residues in the crop can 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. Do not connect an irrigation system (including
|
||
greenhouse systems) used for NUANCE application to any public water system. 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 sprinkler chemigation 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 back flow. The pesticide
|
||
injection pipeline must 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 fluid from being withdrawn
|
||
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. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift
|
||
beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
|
||
SYSTEMS
|
||
1. In center pivot and continuous lateral move systems, NUANCE + bromoxynil containing
|
||
herbicides should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application. In solid
|
||
set systems, application of the tank mix should be made during the last 30 to 45 minutes of
|
||
the irrigation.
|
||
2. Set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre for best
|
||
product performance.
|
||
3. Fill the supply tank with half of the water amount desired, add the NUANCE and agitate it
|
||
well. Add the bromoxynil containing herbicide and then add the remaining water amount
|
||
with agitation. Bromoxynil containing herbicides require a dilution with at least 4 parts water
|
||
to 1 part bromoxynil containing herbicide.
|
||
4. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank when applying this tank mix.
|
||
5. Inject the NUANCE + bromoxynil containing herbicide solution at least 8 feet ahead of a
|
||
right angle turn of irrigation pipe to insure adequate mixing. Allow sufficient time for the
|
||
herbicide mixture to be flushed through the lines before turning off irrigation water.
|
||
6. Follow both NUANCE and bromoxynil containing herbicide label instructions for spray tank
|
||
cleanout both before and after application. Flush lines with clean water following
|
||
application.
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.

||
NUANCE can be measured using the NUANCE volumetric measuring cylinder included in the
|
||
case. The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise
|
||
measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
NUANCE may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control weeds listed
|
||
as partially controlled, weeds resistant to NUANCE, or weeds not listed under “Weeds
|
||
Controlled and Weeds Partially Controlled” sections of this label.
|
||
Wheat, Barley and Triticale
|
||
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
|
||
NUANCE may be tank mixed with 2,4-D and MCPA (preferable ester formulations) herbicides
|
||
for use on wheat, barley and triticale. For best results, add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the
|
||
tank at 0.125 or 0.375 pound active ingredient per acre. In tank mixes containing 0.125 pound
|
||
active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acre, add 1 to 2 pint of nonionic surfactant; in tank mixes
|
||
containing 0.25 to 0.375 pound active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acres, add 1 pint of
|
||
nonionic surfactant.
|
||
Higher rates of 2,4-D or MCPA may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate allowed by
|
||
those respective labels. When using rate of 0.375 pound ai per acre or higher, use of
|
||
additional nonionic surfactant may not be needed, unless specified otherwise in the 2,4-D or
|
||
MCPA label, or local guidance.
|
||
With 2,4-D or MCPA (amine or ester) and Dicamba (such as “Banvel” / “Clarity”)
|
||
NUANCE may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba (such as “Banvel” /
|
||
“Clarity”) and 2,4-D or MCPA.
|
||
Make applications at 0.17 to 0.33 ounce of NUANCE + 1 to 1.5 ounce active ingredient
|
||
dicamba (such as “Banvel” / “Clarity”) + 0.25 to 0.38 pound active ingredient of 2,4-D or MCPA
|
||
(ester or amine) per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Add 1 to 2 pint of
|
||
nonionic surfactant to the 3 way mixture, where necessary, as deemed by local guidance. Use
|
||
of additional nonionic surfactant may not be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester
|
||
phenoxy formulations. Consult the specific 2,4-D or MCPA and dicamba labels, or local
|
||
guidance for more information.
|
||
Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first
|
||
node). In Spring Wheat (including Durum), apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds
|
||
the 5-leaf stage.
|
||
Do not apply this 3-way mixture at high rates more than once a year, or more than twice per
|
||
year at the low rates.

With Other Herbicides
|
||
x Tank mixtures of NUANCE plus metribuzin may result in reduced control of wild garlic.
|

x Tank mixtures of NUANCE plus dicamba (such as “Banvel”/”Clarity”) may result in reduced
|
||
control of some broadleaf weeds.
|
||
x Tank mixtures of NUANCE with “Hoelon 3EC” may result in reduced grass control.
|
||
With Fungicides
|
||
NUANCE may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on cereal
|
||
crops.
|
||
With Insecticides
|
||
NUANCE may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on
|
||
cereal crops. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2 to 4
|
||
leaf stage), tank mixtures or sequential applications of NUANCE with organophosphate
|
||
insecticides (such as “Nufos
|
||
®”) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases,
|
||
crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night
|
||
temperatures occur just prior to or soon after application.
|
||
Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
|
||
Do not apply NUANCE within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate
|
||
insecticide has been applied as an in-furrow treatment since crop injury may result.
|
||
Do not use NUANCE plus Malathion since crop injury may result.
|
||
With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solution
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix
|
||
compatibility test before mixing NUANCE in fertilizer solution. NUANCE must first be pre-
|
||
slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions (e.g. 28-0-0, 32-0-0).
|
||
Ensure that the agitator is running while the NUANCE is added. Use of this mixture may result
|
||
in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
|
||
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray
|
||
solution volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 0.5 pint to 1 quart
|
||
per 100 gallon of spray solution (0.06 to 0.25% v/v) based on local guidance.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in spray solution, adding surfactant
|
||
increases the risk of crop injury. If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with NUANCE and fertilizer
|
||
mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (see manufacturer’s label). Additional
|
||
surfactant may not be needed when using NUANCE in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA
|
||
ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field
|
||
advisor, or Cheminova, Inc. representative for specific guidance before adding an adjuvant to
|
||
these tank mixtures.
|
||
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with
|
||
use of straight or dilute nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely
|
||
fluctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult your agricultural dealer,
|
||
consultant, field advisor, or Cheminova, Inc. representative for specific guidance before using
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions.
|
||
Do not use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
|
||
Do not use with liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.

|
||
Mixtures section of this label).
|
||
Wild radish: For best results, apply 0.17 – 0.33 ounce NUANCE per acre, plus 0.26 to 0.375
|
||
pound active ingredient per acre MCPA, plus 0.25% v/v nonionic surfactant (1 quart per 100
|
||
gallon of spray solution) to wild radish rosettes less than 6” diameter. Make the application
|
||
either in the fall or spring. Applications made later than 30 days after weed emergence will
|
||
result in partial control. Fall applications should be made before plants harden-off.
|
||
SU/IMI Tolerant Volunteer Sunflowers: Varieties resistant to SU and IMI products (like
|
||
NUANCE
|
||
®, “Beyond”, “Pursuit”, “Raptor”) are under development. For best results, use
|
||
NUANCE in a tank mix with Starane, Starane + Salvo, Starane + Sword, dicamba (such as
|
||
“Banvel” / “Clarity”) and 2,4-D or MCPA (ester or amine), or bromoxynil containing products
|
||
(such as “Buctril”, “Bison”, “Bronate”, or “Bronate Advanced
|
||
FOR IMPROVED CONTROL OF NARROWLEAF HAWKSBEARD
|
||
NUANCE may be in a tank mix with glyphosate or 2,4-D for postemergence control of up to 3"
|
||
narrowleaf hawksbeard.
|
||
Post Harvest, Fallow, and Pre-plant
|
||
NUANCE may be used at rate of 0.17 to 0.33 ounce per acre in a tank mix with 1 to 2 pints of
|
||
glyphosate per acre (4 pounds per gallon formulation or equivalent) for postemergence control
|
||
of narrowleaf hawksbeard. Application can be made post harvest, fallow, and/or as a pre-plant
|
||
burndown. Sequential treatments of NUANCE may be made provided the total amount during
|
||
the post harvest to preplant period does not exceed 0.33 ounce per acre.
|
||
The addition of nonionic surfactant or crop oil may improve weed control since glyphosate
|
||
products differ in their adjuvant contents. See glyphosate label for specific recommendations.
|
||
NUANCE plus glyphosate may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides such as
|
||
2,4-D or dicamba.

|
||
After Wheat Emergence
|
||
NUANCE may be used at rate of 0.17 to 0.33 ounce per acre in tank mix with 2,4-D for
|
||
postemergence control of narrowleaf hawksbeard. Add 2,4-D at 0.25 to 0.375 pound active
|
||
ingredient per acre (such as 0.50 to 0.75 pint of a 4 pound/gallon product or 0.3 to 0.5 pint of a
|
||
6 pound/gallon product). Apply this tank mix only in the spring when the wheat is fully tillered
|
||
and before the jointing stage.
|
||
Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution
|
||
(0.125 to 0.25%); however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury,
|
||
especially at the higher 2,4-D rates. NUANCE plus 2,4-D may be tank mixed with other suitable
|
||
registered herbicides.
|
||
FOR WEED CONTROL IN GRASS GROWN FOR SEED ONLY IN THE STATES OF
|
||
IDAHO, OREGON, WASHINGTON AND UTAH
|
||
NUANCE water dispersible granular may be used for selective postemergence control /
|
||
suppression of certain broadleaf weeds in seedling and established stands of bentgrass,
|
||
bluegrass, annual ryegrass, orchardgrass, tall fescue, and fine fescue grown for seed. NUANCE
|
||
may be used on seedling and established
|
||
perennial ryegrass providing user accepts all risk of
|
||
possible crop injury and/or reduced seed yield. See the "Use Rates" section of the EPA
|
||
approved label.
|
||
NUANCE may cause temporary yellowing and stunting of grass. Best results are obtained
|
||
when NUANCE is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The degree of control and duration
|
||
of effect are dependent on the rate used, sensitivity and size of target weeds and
|
||
environmental conditions at the time of and following application.
|
||
Note: Certain varieties of grass may be sensitive to NUANCE. When using NUANCE for the first
|
||
time on a particular variety, limit use to one 10 ounce container.
|
||
USE RATES AND TANK MIXES WITH OTHER HERBICIDES
|
||
BENTGRASS, BLUEGRASS, ANNUAL RYEGRASS, ORCHARDGRASS, FINE FESCUE AND
|
||
TALL FESCUE
|
||
Seedling Stands: For best results apply NUANCE in a tank mix with another suitable broadleaf
|
||
herbicide.
|
||
For use on annual ryegrass, orchard grass, tall fescue and fine fescue, apply at 0.17 ounce/acre
|
||
after stand is in 4-leaf stage.
|
||
For use on bentgrass, apply at 0.17 ounce/acre after stolens are 3 to 5 inches across.
|
||
For use on bluegrass, apply at 0.17 to 0.33 ounce/acre after stand is in 4-leaf stage.
|
||
Established Stands: For stands that have been established for at least one growing season
|
||
(fall or spring), apply NUANCE at 0.17 to 0.33 ounce/A in a tank mix with another suitable
|
||
broadleaf herbicide. Use the higher rate for larger weeds and hard to control weeds like wild
|
||
carrot. Apply prior to jointing.
|
||
PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
|
||
Perennial ryegrass is more sensitive to NUANCE than other grass species. Crop injury in the
|
||
form of stunting and possible reduced seed yield may occur. To minimize the risk of crop
|
||
injury, use the 0.17 ounce/acre rate and always use either 2,4-D or dicamba and liquid
|
||
|
||
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
|
||
[Optional language is in brackets]
|
||
21
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer solution with NUANCE.
|
||
Seedling Stands: Apply NUANCE at 0.17 ounce/acre in a tank mix with another suitable
|
||
broadleaf herbicide after grass is in 5- to 6-leaf stage.
|
||
Established Stands: For stands that have been established for one growing season (fall or
|
||
spring) apply NUANCE at 0.17 ounce/acre to 0.33 ounce/acre in a tank mix with another
|
||
suitable broadleaf herbicide. Apply prior to jointing.
|
||
Note: The 0.33 ounce rate of NUANCE should be used only for the control or suppression of
|
||
problem weeds like wild carrot where the benefit of weed control can be offset by possible crop
|
||
injury including possible yield reduction.
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
Always use NUANCE in a tank mix with another broadleaf herbicide such as 2,4-D, MCPA or
|
||
dicamba as these herbicides safen the effects of NUANCE on grasses while improving weed
|
||
control performance on most broadleaf weeds. Testing has shown that 2,4-D and dicamba are
|
||
more effective in tank mix with NUANCE than MCPA. The addition of liquid fertilizer is also
|
||
recommended. See “With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solution” section of the label. Use a
|
||
minimum of ¼ to ½ lb. ai/A of 2,4-D or MCPA (8 to 16 fluid ounces of 4 lb/gal product). Use a
|
||
minimum of 1/8 to ¼ lb ai/A of dicamba (such as 4 to 8 fluid ounces of “Banvel” or “Clarity”).
|
||
Liquid Fertilizer
|
||
NUANCE can be applied with liquid fertilizers. Liquid fertilizers (20%, 28%, 32% N at a
|
||
minimum of 4 gallons/100 gallons of spray solution) enhance the performance of NUANCE and
|
||
improve crop safety. Always use a surfactant and another broadleaf herbicide when using
|
||
liquid fertilizer with NUANCE.
|
||

|
||
to 0.25 oz/A of NUANCE and always use in a tank mix with 2,4-D at ½ lb AI/A (1 pint of 4 lb/gal
|
||
product).
|
||
PERENNIAL RYEGRASS
|
||
Perennial ryegrass is more sensitive to NUANCE than other grass species. Crop injury in the
|
||
form of stunting and possible reduced seed yield may occur. To minimize the risk of crop
|
||

||
herbicide. Apply prior to jointing
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
Always use NUANCE in a tank mix with another broadleaf herbicide such as 2,4-D, MCPA or
|
||
dicamba as these herbicides safen the effects of NUANCE on grasses while improving weed
|
||
control performance on most broadleaf weeds. Testing has shown that 2,4-D, “BANVEL,” and
|
||
“CLARITY” provide the best overall weed control in a tank mix with NUANCE. However, 2,4-D
|
||
at ½ lb AI/A provides the best crop safening effects.
|
||
The addition of liquid fertilizer is also recommended. See “With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
Solution” section of the label. Use a minimum of ¼ to ½ lb. ai/A of 2,4-D or MCPA (8 to 16 fluid
|
||
ounces of 4 lb/gal product). Use a minimum of 1/16 to ¼ lb ai/A of dicamba (such as 2 to 8
|
||
fluid ounces of “Banvel” or “Clarity”).
|
||
Liquid Fertilizer
|
||
NUANCE can be applied with liquid fertilizers. Liquid fertilizers (20%, 28%, 32% N at a

|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of NUANCE
|
||
®.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the NUANCE is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the NUANCE is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
NUANCE should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mixture partners (if desired) then add the required volume of
|
||
spray adjuvant. Always add spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do not
|
||
use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product
|
||
degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for optimum stability of
|
||
NUANCE
|
||
®.
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-
|
||
agitate before using.
|
||
7. Apply NUANCE spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If NUANCE and a tank mixture partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the
|
||
NUANCE in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mixture partner
|
||
from interfering with the dissolution of the NUANCE
|
||
®.
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for additional
|
||
information on GPA, pressure speed, nozzle types and arrangements, and nozzle heights
|
||
above the target canopy, etc.
|
||
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume
|
||
and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with
|
||
minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is
|
||
dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or
|
||
stopping, to avoid injury to the crop.
|
||
|
||
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
|
||
[Optional language is in brackets]
|
||
25
|
||
Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions
|
||
that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift
|
||
refer to Spray Drift Management section of label.
|
||
Continuous agitation is required to keep NUANCE in suspension.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before NUANCE is sprayed. Follow the cleanup
|
||
procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are
|
||
provided, follow the six steps outlined in the After Spraying NUANCE and Before Spraying
|
||
Crops Other than Wheat, Barley and Triticale section of this label.
|
||
At The End Of The Day
|
||
It is recommended that at the end of each day of spraying the interior of the tank be rinsed with
|
||
fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the
|
||
buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in the application equipment.
|
||
AFTER SPRAYING NUANCE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN WHEAT,
|
||
BARLEY AND TRITICALE
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray
|
||
equipment immediately following applications of NUANCE as follows:
|
||
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely. Remove any contamination on the outside of
|
||
the spraying equipment by washing with clean water.
|
||
2. Spray the tank walls (including the lid) with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of
|
||
the tank volume. Add household ammonia at a solution rate of 1 gallon/100 gallon water or
|
||
other similarly approved cleaner to the tank. Circulate the water through the lines, including
|
||
all by-pass lines, for at least two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.
|
||
Completely drain the sump.
|
||
3. Repeat step 2. For this rinse, the addition of household ammonia or other cleaner is not
|
||
required.
|
||
4. Remove the strainers, nozzles, tips and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing
|
||
water and ammonia solution.
|
||
If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) listed
|
||
on this label. Do not exceed the maximum-labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult
|
||
the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the
|
||
rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to facilitate the removal of any caked
|
||
deposits.
|
||
3. When NUANCE is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product
|
||
should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied
|
||
products should be followed as per the individual labels.

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for
|
||
spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making
|
||
application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (>150 – 200 microns).
|
||
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
|
||
coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions,
|
||
and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage.
|
||
APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT
|
||
DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Surface
|
||
Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – General Techniques
|
||
xVolume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles
|
||
with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
|
||
xPressure – Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure
|
||
reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW
|
||
RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
|
||
PRESSURE.
|
||
xNozzle 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.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
xNumber of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that
|
||
provide uniform coverage.
|
||
xNozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to
|
||
the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
xNozzle Type – Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed)
|
||
oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
Boom Length And Height
|
||
xBoom Length (aircraft) – The boom length should not exceed 0.75 of the wing length,
|
||
using shorter booms decreases drift potential. For helicopters use a boom length and
|
||
position that prevents droplets from entering the rotor vortices.
|
||
xBoom Height (aircraft) – Application more than 10 feet above the canopy increases the
|
||
potential for spray drift.
|
||
xBoom Height (ground) – Setting the boom at the lowest height which provides uniform
|
||
coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. The boom should
|
||
remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to variable direction and
|
||
inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and
|
||
equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
|
||
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local
|
||
wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger
|
||
droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical
|
||
air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move
|
||
laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature 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 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 a
|
||
surface 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.
|
||
CALIFORNIA APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE CROPS
|
||
The following drift management requirements must be followed to minimize the potential for
|
||
exposure of sensitive crops.
|
||
Determine the prevailing wind speed and direction before application.
|
||
Spray quality
|
||
Apply with nozzles that give a coarse droplet size spectrum (volume median diameter (VMD) of
|
||
350-400 microns) and minimize droplets that are less than 200 microns.
|
||
For aerial application:
|
||
• Nozzle orientation: Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplet
|
||
size spectrum and the lowest drift.
|
||
• Spray volume: Apply a spray volume between 5 and 10 GPA
|
||
• Wind speed: Avoid spraying when sustained wind speeds approach or exceed 10 mph. Avoid
|
||
applications in gusty wind conditions.
|
||
• Aircraft equipment: Boom length should be 75 percent or less of wing span. For helicopters,
|
||
use a boom length and position that prevents droplets from entering the rotor vortices.

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
• Application height: Application at more than 10 feet above the canopy increases the potential
|
||
for spray drift. Applications must be made at the lowest application height that provides uniform
|
||
coverage and should be consistent with safe operation of the aircraft.
|
||
For ground application:
|
||
• Wind Speed: Avoid spraying when sustained wind speeds approach or exceed 10 mph. Avoid
|
||
applications in gusty wind conditions.
|
||
• Boom height - ground sprayers: Apply with a boom height no greater than 4 feet above the
|
||
top of the largest plants. The buffer zone may be reduced when application is made with a low
|
||
boom (20 inches) above the top of the crop canopy. The boom should remain level with the crop
|
||
and have minimal bounce.
|
||
Buffer Zones
|
||
The following buffer zones between the treated area and sensitive crops are required when
|
||
these sensitive crops are downwind of the application site.

|
||
RESISTANCE
|
||
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several
|
||
years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes
|
||
may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that
|
||
field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is
|
||
unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a
|
||
different site of action.
|
||
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible
|
||
dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural
|
||
practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment,
|
||
tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action.
|
||
Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
|
||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain
|
||
information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer,
|
||
consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for
|
||
specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide guidance available in your area.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which can
|
||
include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage.
|
||
IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target
|
||
pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
|
||
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service,
|
||
professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment
|
||
threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
x Varieties of wheat (including durum), barley and triticale may differ in their response to various
|
||
herbicides. Consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to crop
|
||
sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to a small area.
|
||
x Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in
|
||
day/night temperatures prior to or soon after NUANCE application, temporary discoloration
|
||
and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix NUANCE with
|
||
2,4-D (ester formulations perform best - see the "TANK MIXTURES" section of this label) and
|
||
apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
x NUANCE should not be applied to wheat, barley or triticale that is stressed by severe weather
|
||
conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury
|
||
may result. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Severe winter stress,
|
||
drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
|
||
x Do not apply to wheat, barley or triticale underseeded with another crop.
|
||
x Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.
|
||
x Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
o Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on
|
||
areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed
|
||
or moved into contact with their roots.
|
||
o Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis c ourts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of
|
||
spray to desirable plants.
|
||
x Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the
|
||
following:
|
||
o Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray
|
||
drift) with non-target plants or areas.
|
||
o Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this
|
||
product, as spray tank residue may damage crops other than wheat or barley.
