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:
ƒ weed spectrum and infestation intensity
ƒ weed size at application
ƒ 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.
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
[Optional language is in brackets]
7
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 manufacturers 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.
• DO NOT allow livestock to graze on, or feed forage, hay or straw from treated soybean fields.
• DO NOT make more than one pre-plant or at-planting application of NUANCE to field corn,

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)
ƒ Apply 0.06 to 0.50% v/v (2 pints to 4 pints surfactant per 100 gallon of spray solution)
ƒ 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)
ƒ Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon oil adjuvant per 100 gallon spray solution) or 2% v/v under arid
conditions.
ƒ 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
ƒ 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.
ƒ 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.

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.

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

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.

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 manufacturers 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.

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.

20
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.
FOR WEED CONTROL IN NON-FOOD/NON-FEED GRASS GROWN FOR SEED
PRODUCTION ONLY IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
NUANCE is for use on selective postemergence control/suppression of certain broadleaf
weeds in seedling and established stands of bluegrass and timothy 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 “Use Rates” Portion.
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 the 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.
BLUEGRASS AND TIMOTHY
Seedling Stands: For best results apply NUANCE in a tank mix with another suitable
broadleaf herbicide. For use on timothy, apply at 0.17 oz/A after stand is in the 4-5 leaf stage.

[Optional language is in brackets]
22
Always use in a tank mix with 2,4-D at ½ lb AI/A (1 pint of 4 lb/gal product). For use on
bluegrass, apply at 0.10 to 0.25 oz/A after stand is in the 4 leaf stage.
Established Stands: For stands that have been established for at least one growing season
(fall or spring), apply NUANCE at 0.10 to 0.33 oz/A in a tank mix with another suitable
broadleaf herbicide. Apply prior to jointing. For application on timothy, limit maximum use rate
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
injury, use the 0.10 oz/A rate and always use either 2,4-D or “Clarity” and liquid nitrogen
fertilizer solution with NUANCE.
Seedling Stands: For best results apply NUANCE in a tank mix with another suitable
broadleaf herbicide at 0.10 oz/A after grass is in the 5 to 6-leaf stage.
Established Stands: For stands that have been established for at
least one growing season
(fall or spring), apply NUANCE at 0.10 to 0.25 oz/A in a tank mix with another suitable broadleaf
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
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.

FOR BUNCHBERRY CONTROL IN LOWBUSH BLUEBERRY ONLY IN THE STATE OF
MAINE
NUANCE may be used for selective postemergence control/suppression of certain broadleaf
weeds in lowbush blueberry (or also known as, wild blueberry).
Apply NUANCE at 0.53 to 0.66 ounce per acre in the fall after blueberry harvest, until a killing
frost occurs, after which bunchberry control will not occur.
NUANCE applied earlier in the fall will result in increased blueberry cover and increased
bunchberry control in the following year. The degree and duration of effect are dependent upon
the rate used, sensitivity and size of the target weeds, and environmental conditions at the
time and following application.
Surfactant
Always use a nonionic surfactant of at least 80% active ingredient at the rate of 0.25% v/v (1
quart per 100 gallon of spray solution).
Precautions/Restrictions
The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil is not recommended with NUANCE on
lowbush blueberry as these adjuvants may produce unsatisfactory crop injury.
Do not apply more than 0.66 ounce of NUANCE per acre per growing season. Do not apply
within 365 days of blueberry harvest. Do not apply NUANCE in a tank mix with
organophosphate insecticides as severe crop injury may occur.

Under certain conditions such as prolonged cool weather (daily high temperature less than
50°F) or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or soon after treatment,
temporary yellowing and/or crop stunting may occur.
CROP ROTATION
Wheat, Barley and Triticale may be replanted any time after the application of NUANCE.
Sugarbeets, Winter Rape and Canola can be planted at 60 days after the application of
NUANCE. Any other crop may be planted 45 days after the application of NUANCE.
GRAZING
Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage. In addition, allow at
least 7 days between application and feeding of forage from treated areas to livestock. Allow at
least 30 days between application and feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. Harvested
straw may be used for bedding and/or feed. Allow at least 45 days between application and
harvesting of grain.
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 manufacturers 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.

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.
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
[Optional language is in brackets]
27
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.
Nuance Herbicide EPA Reg. No. 67760-73
[Optional language is in brackets]
28
• 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.
Sensitive crop Ground
application
low boom
Ground
application
high boom
Aerial
application
Tomato, cucumber, sugarbeet 350 ft 500 ft 1300 ft
Other broadleaf crops 50 ft 50 ft 500 ft
Tree and vine crops 50 ft 50 ft 500 ft
Dormant tree and vine No buffer required
Tree and vine crops do not require buffer zones when crops are dormant.
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.
