PRODUCT INFORMATION
SOLIDA herbicide must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label or in separate published
labeling. Cheminova will not be responsible for losses or damage resulting from the use of this product in
any manner not specifically instructed by Cheminova. SOLIDA herbicide is a water-soluble granule
formulation that selectively controls certain grass and broadleaf weeds in pome fruit, citrus fruit, tree nut,
stone fruit, and grape crops which have been established for at least one full growing season, and in
blueberries and caneberries. SOLIDA herbicide also selectively controls certain grass and broadleaf
weeds in potatoes, potatoes grown for seed, field-grown tomatoes (direct-seeded and transplant), and field
corn. SOLIDA herbicide can be used for restoration of rangeland infested with invasive weed species and
along roadsides and highway medians, at industrial plant sites, utility substations, and other non-
agricultural or non-cropland sites.
SOLIDA herbicide has postemergence and residual (preemergence to weeds) activity. Rainfall or sprinkler
irrigation is needed within 2 weeks of application to activate SOLIDA herbicide in the soil. For the most
effective weed control, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed within 5 to 7 days after application to move
SOLIDA herbicide into the soil.
The best postemergence control is obtained when SOLIDA herbicide is applied to young, actively growing
weeds. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
x weed spectrum and infestation intensity
x weed size at application
x environmental conditions at and following treatment.
SOLIDA herbicide is registered for use in most states. Check with your state extension service or
Department of Agriculture before use to be certain SOLIDA herbicide is registered in your state.
TANK MIXTURES
To broaden the weed control spectrum and/or extend the residual effectiveness of SOLIDA herbicide,
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with other registered herbicides affecting a different site of action
(mode of action) and/or adjuvants registered for use on the crops listed on SOLIDA herbicide labeling.
Refer to the label(s) of the tank mix partners for any additional use instructions or restrictions. Do not use
SOLIDA herbicide in a spray solution with additives that buffer the pH to below 4.0 or above 8.0 , as
degradation of SOLIDA herbicide may occur.
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of SOLIDA herbicide and other pesticides.
Use a clear quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar
containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately ½ hour. If the mixture balls-
up, forms flakes, sludge, gel, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix
combination should not be used.

USES
BURNDOWN AND RESIDUAL CONTROL OF CERTAIN ANNUAL GRASS AND
BROADLEAF WEEDS WHEN APPLIED PREEMERGENCE AND POSTEMERGENCE TO
FIELD CORN
APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR FIELD CORN
SOLIDA herbicide is a selective herbicide for burndown and residual control of certain annual grass and
broadleaf weeds when applied preemergence and postemergence to field corn. SOLIDA herbicide may be
applied to “Roundup Ready” corn in tank mix combinations with glyphosate herbicides such as Glyfos
® or
Glyfos® XTRA to add residual control for later emerging weeds. Residual weed control is dependent on
rainfall or sprinkler irrigation for herbicide activation.
If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction, or weed germination before rain or
irrigation occurs, use shallow tillage such as a rotary hoe to lightly incorporate SOLIDA herbicide and make
certain corn seeds are below the tilled area.
SOLIDA herbicide is best used in a planned sequential application herbicide program to be followed by an
in-crop application of SOLIDA herbicide and/or other postemergence-applied corn herbicides. Refer to the
label of the respective sequential partner for specific use directions.
Allow at least 4 weeks between preemergence applications of SOLIDA herbicide and postemergence
applications of SOLIDA herbicide. Make sequential applications after the corn has reached the 2-collar
stage but before the corn exceeds the maximum application height listed on the respective product labels.
Do not apply to field corn grown for seed or to popcorn or sweet corn. Do not apply preemergence to
coarse-textured soils (sand, loamy sand or sandy loam) with less than 1% organic matter. Do not apply by
air in the States of California and New York.
Apply SOLIDA herbicide to field corn hybrids with a relative maturity (RM) of 77 days or more, including
“food grade” (yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy, and High-Oil corn. Not all field corn hybrids of less than
77 RM and not all white corn hybrids or Hi-Lysine hybrids have been tested for crop safety, nor does
Cheminova have access to all seed company data. Consequently, injury arising from the use of SOLIDA
herbicide on these types of corn is the responsibility of the user. Consult with your seed supplier before
applying SOLIDA herbicide to any of these corn types. Seed company publications indicate “Warning”,
“Crop Response Warning”, or “Sensitive” notations for the use of some ALS herbicides on corn hybrids of
77 RM or higher. As noted in the seed company publications, Cheminova sulfonylurea herbicides such as
SOLIDA herbicide should be used with caution on these hybrids.
FALLOW (BURNDOWN)
Use Rates
Apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 2 ounces per acre.
Application Timing
SOLIDA herbicide may be used as a fallow treatment in the spring or fall when the majority of weeds have
emerged and are actively growing. Field corn may be planted to this treated area at any time.
67760-105 / 20150715

Tank Mixtures in Fallow
SOLIDA herbicide may be used as a fallow treatment and may be tank mixed with other herbicides that are
registered for use in fallow. Read and follow all instructions on this label and the labels of any tank mix
partner before using any other herbicide in mixtures with SOLIDA herbicide. If the directions on the tank
mix partner label conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with SOLIDA
herbicide.
PREEMERGENCE TO FIELD CORN
Preemergence Rates
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied at 0.5 to 2.0 oz product per acre before corn emergence. Cheminova
specifies a rate of 1 to 1.5 oz per acre for most applications.
Application Timing
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied preemergence or preplant to corn. Applications of SOLIDA herbicide
made before weed emergence will provide residual control of labeled weeds. Control of emerged weeds
will require the addition of spray adjuvants as noted below.
POSTEMERGENCE TO FIELD CORN
Postemergence Rates
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied at 0.5 to 2 oz per acre as a postemergence broadcast application.
Cheminova specifies a use rate of 1 oz per acre for most applications.
Application Timing
To crop: Apply SOLIDA herbicide to corn that is up to 12 inches tall. Do not apply to corn taller than 12
inches or exhibiting 6 or more leaf collars, whichever is more restrictive. Applications of SOLIDA herbicide
made after weed emergence will provide contact control of labeled weeds as well as limited residual control
of later emergence.
To weeds: Tank mixtures of SOLIDA herbicide with glyphosate or glufosinate herbicides may be applied
after weeds emerge but before they reach the maximum size listed on the glyphosate and glufosinate
herbicide labels.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
For control of emerged weeds, application of SOLIDA herbicide must include a nonionic surfactant and an
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. If applied in a tank mix combination with a glyphosate herbicide product such
as Glyfos
® X-TRA or a glufosinate product such as Liberty ® that contains a built-in adjuvant system, no
additional surfactant needs to be added. Crop oil concentrate may be used in place of nonionic surfactant
for burndown applications of SOLIDA herbicide made before crop emergence. Products must contain only
EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 910 or 40 CFR 920).
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
x Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
x MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) if specifically
Do not apply more than a total of 1.0 oz active ingredient (4 oz product) rimsulfuron per acre during
the crop year from all sources. This includes combinations of preemergence and postemergence
applications of SOLIDA herbicide or other rimsulfuron-containing products.
67760-105 / 20150715

noted on adjuvant product labeling.
x Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable
seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
x Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 qt per 100 gal spray solution).
x Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic
balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
x Use 2 qt per acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb
per acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS).
x Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution after crop emergence.
Special Adjuvant Types
x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS and
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product labeling for use rates and restrictions.
x Do not use any other adjuvant rates or mixtures with SOLIDA herbicide unless instructed to do so
on Cheminova labeling.

For Additional Control of Kochia
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with 1/3 to 2/3 pint per acre of “Starane” for improved control of
kochia. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Refer to the specific “Starane” label for
application timing and restrictions. SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with “Starane” and additional 1/16
to 1/8 lb active ingredient dicamba (such as 2 to 4 fluid oz. of “Banvel” or “Clarity”) for broader spectrum
weed control.
For Additional Control of Broadleaf Weeds
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with 2 pints per acre of “Lumax” or 2 1/3 pints per acre of “Lexar” for
improved burndown or residual control of several broadleaf weeds including common waterhemp, common
ragweed, common lambsquarters, and velvetleaf. When applying mixtures of SOLIDA herbicide plus
“Lumax” or “Lexar”, the use of a nonionic surfactant is suggested. Refer to “Lumax” or “Lexar” labels for
additional information regarding application timing, tank mixtures, adjuvants, and rotational crops.
For Additional Control of Broadleaf Weeds
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with 0.5 to 0.75 fluid ounces per acre of “Impact” plus atrazine at
0.375 to 1.5 pounds active per acre for improved burndown or residual control of several broadleaf weeds
including common waterhemp, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, and velvetleaf. When applying
mixtures of SOLIDA herbicide plus “Impact” at 0.5 fluid ounces per acre, the use of methylated seed oil is
suggested. Refer to “Impact” label for additional information regarding application timing, tank mixtures,
adjuvants, and rotational crops.
PRECAUTIONS
x SOLIDA herbicide may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop
response varies with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods, and soil type.

Crop injury may occur following an application of SOLIDA herbicide if there is a prolonged period of cold
weather and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
CHEMIGATION
Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide through any type of irrigation system in field corn.
GROUND APPLICATION
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of weeds and the best
performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds. Select nozzles and pressure
that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by ASABE Standard S572.1. 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 suggested in manufacturers specifications. Ensure that
equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into the corn plant whorl.
Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Aerial application is not permitted in the states of California and New York. Use MEDIUM or COARSE
nozzles that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA. Do
not apply during a temperature inversion, when wind speed is less than 3 mph or above 10 mph, or when
conditions favor poor coverage and/or off-target spray drift. (See “Additional Use Information” section of this
label.)

COTTON/SOYBEAN PREPLANT ONLY
*Not for use in California
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Rate
Apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1.0 ounce per acre.
Timing to Crop
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied preplant after fall harvest through early spring 30 days or more prior
to planting, whenever the ground is not frozen, to control emerged weeds and to provide limited
residual control of early-emerging spring weeds.
Burndown Tank Mixtures
SOLIDA herbicide may be used as a preplant residual burndown treatment and may be tank mixed with
other herbicides that are registered for preplant in cotton/soybean, including glyphosate, paraquat,
glufosinate, 2,4-D LVE, and dicamba. Read and follow all instructions on this label and the labels of
any tank mix partner before using in mixtures with SOLIDA herbicide. If the instructions on the tank mix
label conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with SOLIDA herbicide.
Always follow directions of the most restrictive label.
Sequential Application Soybeans
SOLIDA herbicide may be used in a sequential herbicide program in soybean. Apply SOLIDA herbicide
for burndown and residual weed control 30 days or more prior to planting. Refer to the product labels
for use restrictions, application information, rotational crop guidelines, and cautionary statements prior
to application.
Additional Control of Grass and Broadleaf Weeds
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of preplant herbicides registered for
cotton and soybean.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
For control of emerged weeds, application of SOLIDA herbicide must contain an appropriate adjuvant.
If applied in a tank mix combination with a glyphosate herbicide product such as Glyfos
® X-TRA or a
glufosinate product such as Liberty® that contains a built-in adjuvant system, , no additional surfactant
needs to be added. Product must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients.
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
x Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
x MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) if
specifically noted on adjuvant product labeling.
x Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable
seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
x Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 qt per 100 gallons spray solution).
x Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic
67760-105 / 20150715
13
balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
In addition to a spray adjuvant, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be used.
x Use 2 qt per acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2
lb per acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS).
Special Adjuvant Types
x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS
and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product labeling for use rates and restrictions.
x Do not use any other adjuvant rates or mixtures with SOLIDA herbicide unless instructed to do
so on Cheminova labeling.
Mixing Instructions
Fertilizer Carrier Instructions
SOLIDA herbicide may be mixed with water or pre-dissolved in water and added to liquid fertilizer for
preemergence application. When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always pre-slurry SOLIDA
herbicide in water before adding fertilizer solutions. Add the SOLIDA herbicide slurry to the final
complete liquid fertilizer mixture do not add SOLIDA herbicide during the fertilizer mixing process.
Always use good agitation while adding the SOLIDA herbicide slurry to liquid fertilizers and maintain
good agitation until sprayed. When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, conduct a compatibility test with
all components prior to mixing.
Do not use with spray additives or liquid fertilizer carriers that alter the pH of the spray solution below
pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0-8.0 allow for
optimum stability of SOLIDA herbicide.
Ground Application
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and
the best performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds. For best
performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as indicated, for
example, by ASABE Standard S572.1. 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 recommended in manufacturers specifications.
Aerial Application
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum
coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA.
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor
coverage and/or off target spray movement. (See “Additional Use Information” section of this label.)
RESTRICTIONS
x Do not plant cotton or soybean fewer than 30 days following an application of SOLIDA herbicide

CITRUS FRUIT, TREE NUTS, POME FRUIT, STONE FRUITS, GRAPES
APPLICATION INFORMATION
SOLIDA herbicide should be applied as a uniform broadcast application to the orchard or vineyard floor or
as a uniform band application directed at the base of the trunk or vine.
For broadcast applications, make a single application of SOLIDA herbicide at 4 ounces per acre per year.
For improved weed management, SOLIDA herbicide should be applied in tank mixture with other registered
preemergence herbicides.
When applied as a banded treatment (50% band or less), SOLIDA herbicide may be applied twice a year.
However, do not apply more than 4 ounces per acre on a broadcast application basis per year.
Unless otherwise specified on this label, allow a minimum of 30 days between applications.
To help ensure uniform coverage, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Nozzle selection
should meet manufacturers spray volume and pressure instructions for preemergence or postemergence
herbicide applications.
Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide by air. Use ground application equipment only.
Apply only to crops that have been established for one full growing season and are in good
health and
vigor.
Best results are obtained when the soil is moist at the time of application, and ½ inch of rainfall or sprinkler
irrigation occurs within 2 weeks after application. Time the application(s) to take advantage of normal
rainfall patterns and cool temperatures. Moisture for activation should occur within 2-3 weeks after
application.
SOLIDA herbicide may also be applied by certain chemigation methods, such as microsprinkler. However,
do not apply by overhead, flood, or drip irrigation. Avoid direct or indirect spray contact with crop foliage or
fruit, except undesirable suckers.
Do not use SOLIDA herbicide in a spray solution with a pH of below 4.0 or above 8.0 with spray additives
that buffer the pH to below 4.0 or above 8.0, since degradation of SOLIDA herbicide may occur.

WEEDS CONTROLLED
Susceptible weeds are controlled for 60 to 90 days after application of SOLIDA herbicide. Rainfall or
irrigation is needed for herbicide activation. Length of control is a function of moisture for activation, soil
temperature, soil texture, and amount of moisture after application.
When weeds are present at application, include a labeled burndown herbicide, such as glyphosate (Glyfos
X-TRA or generic glyphosate), paraquat, or glufosinate, with an appropriate adjuvant. SOLIDA herbicide
will help provide postemergence control of the weeds listed in this label. For best results, make
postemergence applications to young, actively growing weeds and include a spray adjuvant.
Residual weed control may be reduced when SOLIDA herbicide is applied where heavy crop trash and/or
weed residue exists.
Weed control may also be reduced when applications of SOLIDA herbicide are made to weeds under
stress from drought, excessive water, temperature extremes, disease, or low humidity.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
67760-105 / 20150715
21
COMMON DANDELION AND MALLOW: SOLIDA herbicide provides excellent preemergence control of
common dandelion and mallow germinating from seed. In high rainfall areas or where sprinkler irrigation is
used, a second application may be needed to extend residual control throughout the growing season.
When applications are made postemergence to these weeds, always add a suitable burndown herbicide
such as Glyfos X-TRA or paraquat. Small and medium-sized plants (up to 6 inches in diameter) are
controlled by postemergence applications of SOLIDA herbicide plus a burndown herbicide; however, plants
that are larger than 6 inches in diameter may only be suppressed and may require a second application 4
to 6 weeks later.
MARESTAIL/HORSEWEED AND FLEABANE: Where marestail (horseweed) and fleabane are the target
weeds, applications prior to emergence provide best results. This may require a fall application to help
prevent fall-germinating seedlings from becoming established during the winter. A foliar active herbicide
with activity on fleabane and marestail/horseweed (such as paraquat, glyphosate (such as Glyfos X-TRA
®),
and glufosinate) must be tank mixed with SOLIDA herbicide for best control and resistance management.
After fall application, a second application in the spring may be required to provide extended weed control
in the summer. Where SOLIDA herbicide is applied for control of marestail/horseweed and fleabane,
another soil-residual herbicide should be included as a tank mix or rotational partner to aid in resistance
management.
PUNCTUREVINE: For best results, apply early in the spring when you can expect rainfall or overhead
irrigation to move SOLIDA herbicide into the weed root zone before puncturevine germinates.
Puncturevine emerges over a long period of time and late-season germinations may not be controlled.
YELLOW NUTSEDGE: SOLIDA herbicide provides suppression of yellow nutsedge. To obtain the most
effective results, use the highest rate allowed based on width of your spray band and make two
applications. For applications made postemergence to nutsedge, always add the appropriate rate of
glyphosate (such as Glyfos X-TRA
®) and an effective adjuvant if required. On soils with high organic matter
(6% or higher) always apply postemergence to weeds since preemergence applications are not as effective
on these soils.
Application Timing Yellow Nutsedge
Preemergence plus Early Postemergence: Make the preemergence application when you can expect
rainfall or overhead irrigation to move SOLIDA herbicide into the nutsedge root zone prior to nutsedge
emergence. Make a second application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall. Postemergence
plus Postemergence: Make first application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall. Repeat
application 14 days later. Note: If yellow nutsedge is greater than 6 inches tall at the first application,
weed control effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
ANNUAL SUMMER GRASS Weeds (such as Barnyardgrass,
Green Foxtail, and Crabgrass): Where sprinkler irrigation is used, a fall or early spring application of
SOLIDA herbicide will not provide season-long control of summer grasses like foxtail, barnyardgrass, and
crabgrass. For best results, use SOLIDA herbicide with a suitable tank mix herbicide such as oryzalin or
pendimethalin. A second application may be needed to provide extended control of summer grasses.
USE PRECAUTIONS
x Direct sprays to minimize spray contact with fruit or foliage.
x Avoid spray drift to any adjacent crops or desirable plants as injury may occur.
x Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where their
67760-105 / 20150715
22
roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with
their roots may injure these plants. Trees or desirable plants whose roots extend into a treated crop
use area may be injured.
x For best results, maintain spray tank solution at pH 5 to 7.
x Do not apply to frozen or snow-covered soil. Crop injury may occur from applications made to
poorly drained soils.
x .If the selected companion herbicide has a ground or surface water advisory, consider the advisory
when using the companion herbicide.
Diuron-Containing Products (Washington and Oregon): On coarse-textured soils where crops are
grown under sprinkler irrigation, avoid using diuron-containing products (such as Karmex® DF or Direx®
4L) as a tank-mix partner with SOLIDA herbicide between June 1 and September 30 since crop injury may
result. SOLIDA herbicide tank mixed with diuron products can be used in the fall (after September 30) or
early spring when temperatures are cool to moderate.
CROP ROTATION (Fruit, Nut, and Vine Crops)
Do not plant any crops, except field corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and those listed on this label in the
PRODUCT INFORMATION section, within one year of the last SOLIDA herbicide application. Prior to
planting, fields to be rotated to the above crops should have a thorough soil mixing for example, two
diskings, or a plowing and a disking. To help ensure rotational crop safety, a field bioassay should be
completed prior to planting any other desired crops. The results of this bioassay may require the crop
rotation interval to be extended. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the
crop(s) intended for production. The test strip should cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.
MICRO-SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION (Fruit, Nut, and Vine Crops)
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied via micro-sprinkler chemigation. The 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 backflow. 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 that 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 (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed
of materials that are compatible with pesticide(s) and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. Do
not apply SOLIDA herbicide through any other chemigation equipment.
USE PRECAUTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION (Fruit, Nut, and Vine Crops)
x Do not connect an irrigation system used for SOLIDA herbicide application to a public water
system.
x Distributing treated water in an uneven manner can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or
over-tolerance pesticide residues in the crop. Therefore, to ensure that the mixture is applied evenly
at the labeled rate, use sufficient water, apply the mixture for the proper length of time and ensure
sprinkler produces a uniform water pattern.
x Do not permit run-off during chemigation.
x Continuous agitation in the mix tank is needed to keep the product from settling. If settling does
67760-105 / 20150715
23
occur, thoroughly re-agitate the tank mixture before using.

POTATOES
APPLICATION INFORMATION
PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
For best results, apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 ounces of product per acre immediately after hilling,
drag-off, or reservoir tillage (dam/dike operation) to a clean, newly prepared seedbed.
To activate SOLIDA herbicide in the soil, supply moisture by a single rainfall event or apply sprinkler
irrigation of 1/3 to 1 inch (sandy soils apply at least 1/3 inch, sandy loams apply at least 1/2 inch, silt soils
apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils apply at least 1 inch), within 5 days after application to move SOLIDA
herbicide 3 inches deep into the soil profile. Activating sprinkler irrigation is required regardless of the soil
moisture level at planting or the cumulative precipitation that occurs over the next 5 days (unless rainfall
occurs in a single event and equals the activation moisture requirement). If rainfall or sprinkler activation
cannot be managed, waiting for weeds to emerge and applying SOLIDA herbicide postemergence would
result in better weed control.
If a clean, newly prepared seedbed free of emerged or germinating weeds does not occur, and weeds are
present at the application, add a spray adjuvant to the spray mix. Control may not be adequate for weeds
that have an established root system before activation of SOLIDA herbicide.
Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide within 30 days of potato harvest.
Do not exceed 2.5 oz of SOLIDA herbicide per acre per year.
TANK MIXTURES PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with herbicides labeled for use on potatoes (such as “Eptam® 7E”,
“Prowl®”, “Prowl® H2O”, “Lorox®” DF, “Cinch®”, or “Dual II Magnum®”, Glyfos X-TRA
® products
registered for potatoes) in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. When
tank mixing SOLIDA herbicide with another potato herbicide(s), read and follow all use directions,
restrictions, and precautions of both SOLIDA herbicide and the tank mix partner(s).
SOLIDA herbicide may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above herbicide(s). If
these instructions conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA
herbicide.
SOLIDA herbicide plus Metribuzin
Apply a tank mix combination of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and metribuzin at 1/4to 3/5 lb
active ingredient per acre for better control of such weeds as kochia, Russian thistle, and common
lambsquarters. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared seedbed before
potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow the metribuzin label for your area.
SOLIDA herbicide plus Eptam® 7E
Apply a tank mix of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and Eptam® 7E at label rates for better
control of weeds such as hairy nightshade and crabgrass. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to
a clean, newly prepared seedbed before potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Since the rates and
incorporation methods of Eptam® 7E vary by region, follow the instructions for your region. The procedure
is to incorporate a tank mix of Eptam® 7E + SOLIDA herbicide using irrigation, and not equipment, to
prevent poor weed control from deep incorporation of the SOLIDA herbicide.
If your area does not allow incorporation using irrigation, then apply Eptam® 7E and SOLIDA herbicide in a
67760-105 / 20150715
25
split application. Read and follow both product labels for your area.
SOLIDA herbicide plus pendimethalin (such as Prowl® H2O, Prowl® 3.3 EC, Pendimax®, or generic
pendimethalin)
Apply as a tank mix combination of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and Prowl® H2O, Prowl®
3.3 EC, Pendimax®, or generic pendimethalin at label rates for better control of such weeds as kochia,
crabgrass, and common lambsquarters. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly
prepared seedbed before potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow the Prowl® H2O,
Prowl® 3.3 EC, Pendimax®, or generic pendimethalin label for your area.
SOLIDA herbicide plus Linuron (such as Lorox®” DF)
Apply a tank mix combination of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and Lorox® DF at 1 to 4 lb per
acre for better control of such weeds as common lambsquarter and common ragweed. For best results
apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared seedbed, before potatoes emerge and weeds
germinate. Read and follow the Lorox® DF label for your area.
SOLIDA herbicide plus S-Metolachlor
Apply a tank mix combination of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and S-Metolachlor at 1 to 2
pints per acre for better control of such weeds as yellow nutsedge and black nightshade. For best results
apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared seedbed before potatoes emerge and weeds
germinate. Read and follow both product labels for your area.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS POTATOES
For postemergence applications, apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre to young, actively
growing weeds after crop emergence. Typically, small weeds (less than 1 inch in height or diameter) that
are actively growing at application are most easily controlled
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (such as drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
temperatures, or extreme temperature variations), temporary chlorosis (lime green color) may occur after
application of SOLIDA herbicide. Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
For best results with SOLIDA herbicide postemergence, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/3 to 1 inch (sandy
soils apply at least 1/3 inch, sandy loams apply at least 1/2 inch, silt soils apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils
apply at least 1 inch), no sooner than 4 hours, but not more than 5 days after application, will activate
SOLIDA herbicide in the soil and help provide control of subsequent flushes of annual weeds.
TANK MIXTURES (POTATOES) POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on potatoes (such as Eptam®
7E and metribuzin) in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. When tank
mixing SOLIDA herbicide with another potato pesticide(s), read and follow all use directions, restrictions,
and precautions of both SOLIDA herbicide and the tank mix partner(s).
SOLIDA herbicide may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above pesticide(s). If
these instructions conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA
herbicide.
67760-105 / 20150715
26
SOLIDA herbicide plus Foliar Fungicides
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered fungicides on potatoes (such as
“KOVERALL”, mancozeb, or chlorthalonil).
Read and follow all manufacturers label instructions for the companion fungicide. If these instructions
conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA herbicide.
SOLIDA herbicide plus Metribuzin
Apply a tank mix combination of SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1-1/2 oz per acre and metribuzin at 1/5 to 1/2 lb
active ingredient per acre for improved weed control of such weeds as Russian thistle, common
lambsquarters and triazine-resistant weeds. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.125% v/v (1 pints/100 gal.
of water). The addition of adjuvants to postemergence metribuzin applications may reduce crop tolerance.
Adjuvants should be used with caution.
When possible, avoid postemergence applications on metribuzin-sensitive varieties or if the crop is under
stress. Read and follow both product labels for your area. Note: Crop oil concentrate (COC) or
methylated seed oil (MSO) should not be used for tank mix combinations with SOLIDA herbicide plus
metribuzin.
SOLIDA herbicide plus “Eptam 7E”
Apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1 to 1.5 ounce per acre in tank mix with 1 pint per acre of Eptam® 7E herbicide.
Include 1% volume/volume (1 gal. per 100 gal. spray solution) of either a modified seed oil adjuvant (MSO)
or 0.5% volume/volume (0.5 gal. per 100 gal. spray solution) of an organo-silicon/modified seed oil blend
(OS/MSO such as Dyne-Amic®, Rivet
TM, or Phase ®). Include a 2 lb/acre of a spray-grade ammonium
sulfate (AMS).
For best results, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/3 to 1 inch (sandy soils apply at least 1/3 inch, sandy
loams apply at least 1/2 inch, silt soils apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils apply at least 1 inch), no sooner
than 4 hours after application, but not more than 1 day after application.
Additional Eptam® 7E can be added during the water in process if desired (read and follow all use
directions, restrictions, and precautions on the Eptam® 7E label before use. If these instructions conflict
with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA herbicide).
Precautions:
Crop injury can occur (leaf burn and temporary yellowing) when applications are made under high
temperatures. Addition of fungicides may increase the level of crop injury. In warm, moist conditions,
the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide
symptoms is delayed and may be more variable in weed control.
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS POTATOES
Depending upon rainfall or other environmental conditions, and the density of the top growth of the potato
variety (those with poor top growth such as Norkotah), the annual weeds may have a second flush of
germinating seedlings, and treated perennials may produce new growth from underground roots or stems.
To maximize control of such weeds, it may be necessary to apply SOLIDA herbicide a second time 14 to 28
67760-105 / 20150715
27
days after the first application (typically, make applications to small weeds that are less than 1 inch in
height or diameter that are actively growing). The combined rate of the applications cannot exceed 2.5 oz
SOLIDA herbicide per acre per year
POTATOES GROWN FOR SEED
SOLIDA herbicide may be used on potatoes grown for seed that use field-grown tubers as the planted
seed piece and are at least the progeny of the first field planting. (First field planting utilizes laboratory-
tested stocks, which may be tissue-cultured plantlets, greenhouse- produced microtubers, minitubers,
stem cuttings, or line selections.)
Apply SOLIDA herbicide by any of the following methods:
x Preemergence at 1.5 oz per acre
x Postemergence at 1.0 to 1.5 oz per acre
x In a sequential application preemergence at 1.0-1.5 oz per acre, followed by postemergence at 1.0
oz per acre
x Postemergence at 1.0 oz per acre followed by postemergence at 1.0 oz per acre.
Do not exceed 2.5 oz per acre of SOLIDA herbicide per year.
To activate SOLIDA herbicide preemergence, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply sprinkler
irrigation of 1/3 to 1 inch (sandy soils apply at least 1/3 inch, sandy loams apply at least 1/2 inch, silt soils
apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils apply at least 1 inch) within 5 days after application to move SOLIDA
herbicide 2 to 3 inches deep into the soil profile.
Restrictions
x Do not apply to plants suffering stress from lack of moisture, cold, herbicide injury, and insect or
disease injury.
x Do not use on potatoes grown for seed if these are grown from microtubers or transplants.
Depending on geography, these may be referred to as Generation 1, Nuclear, Elite 1, or Pre-Elite.
x The rotational crop interval for Spring Barley is extended to 18 months due to the generally shorter
growing seasons and different cultural practices in seed production in the states of California,
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, and parts of North Dakota (all
counties in North Dakota except Pembina, Towner, Walsh, Grand Forks, Trail, and Cass).
Precautions
x The rotational crop interval listed in the SOLIDA herbicide label may need to be extended to 18
months if seed potato production practices decrease water and/or time for SOLIDA herbicide
breakdown. Practices that may shorten the breakdown are late planting or less frequent irrigations
as compared to commercial production practices. Potatoes can be planted at anytime.
x Consider informing your state seed certification agency or inspector that SOLIDA herbicide has
been applied. Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (such as drought, frost, cold
temperatures, high temperatures, or extreme temperature variations), temporary chlorosis (lime
green color) may occur after application. These symptoms may appear similar to virus-like
symptoms (such as chlorosis, leaf crinkling, pinching of terminal leaflet) but will usually disappear
within 5 to 15 days of application.

AERIAL APPLICATION
(See also SPRAY DRIFT)
- Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum
coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA. In California use a minimum of 10 GPA.
67760-105 / 20150715
30
- Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty or when conditions favor poor
coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
- Do not apply by air in the state of California, except in Modoc or Siskiyou counties. Do not apply by air
in the state of New York.
CHEMIGATION POTATOES
SOLIDA herbicide can be applied using center-pivot, lateral-move, solid-set, or hand-move irrigation
systems in potatoes. Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide using any other type of irrigation system. Check
irrigation systems to ensure uniform application of water to all areas. Failure to apply SOLIDA herbicide
uniformly may result in crop injury and/or poor weed control.
For best results, use the highest labeled rate and apply preemergence to early postemergence to the
weeds (weeds less than 1 inch tall). If weeds are present at application, add a nonionic surfactant
containing at least 80% active ingredient to the spray mix at 1 to 2 pints/acre.
SOLIDA herbicide may be mixed in a supply tank with water, fertilizer, or other appropriate agricultural
chemicals. Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during application.
For solid set and hand move irrigation systems, apply SOLIDA herbicide at the beginning of the set and
then apply 1/3 to 1 inch of water for activation (sandy soils apply at least 1/3 inch, sandy loams apply at
least 1/2 inch, silt soils apply at least 3/4 inch, and clay soils apply at least 1 inch).
If you have questions about calibrating chemigation equipment, contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers, or other experts. If the chemigation equipment needs adjustment, only the
custodian responsible for its operation or someone under the supervision of that custodian should make the
necessary adjustments.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The irrigation system must contain the following:
x a functional check valve
x vacuum relief valve
x a low-pressure drain (to prevent water source contamination from backflow; should be located on
the irrigation pipeline)
x functional interlocking controls (to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops)
x a metering pump, such as 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.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain the following:
x a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve (to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the
injection pump)
x a functional, solenoid-operated valve (normally closed) located on the intake side of the injection
pump (should be connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the
67760-105 / 20150715
31
supply tank when the irrigation system is shut down either automatically or manually)
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump
motor when pesticide distribution is adversely affected by a decrease in water pressure.
CHEMIGATION PRECAUTIONS
Distributing treated water in an uneven manner can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness, and pesticide
residues in the crop that may be above tolerance limits. Therefore, to ensure that the mixture is applied
evenly at the labeled rate, use sufficient water and apply the mixture for the proper length of time.
x Do not permit run-off during chemigation.
x Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
x Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for SOLIDA herbicide
application to a public water system.

For Rotation to Peas and Mints: SOLIDA herbicide in potatoes not to exceed 1.5 ounces per acre per year
in all areas.
NOTE: SOLIDA herbicide should not be used in a tank mix or sequential application program with other soil
residual ALS-inhibiting herbicides on potatoes as the combined effects of these herbicides on the planting of
subsequent crops have not been thoroughly investigated and crop injury may occur.
RESTRICTIONS Potatoes
x Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide on potatoes within 30 days of harvest.
x Do not exceed 2.5 oz of SOLIDA herbicide per acre on potatoes per year.
x Do not apply to sweet potatoes or yams.
x Do not use SOLIDA herbicide on potatoes grown for seed, except as directed on this labeling or
supplemental labeling.
x Do not apply to potatoes growing in greenhouses, cold frames, pot cultures, etc. Apply only to
potatoes growing in fields.
TOMATOES (DIRECT-SEEDED AND TRANSPLANT)
PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
For preemergence applications to the crop, apply SOLIDA herbicide after seeding at 2.0 to 4.0 ounces
product per acre.
To activate SOLIDA herbicide in the soil, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply sprinkler
irrigation of 1/2 to 1 inch (sandy soils apply at least 1/2-inch, sandy loams apply at least 1/2 inch, silt soils
apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils apply at least 1 inch) within 5 days after application to move SOLIDA
herbicide 2 to 3 inches deep into the soil profile. Activating sprinkler irrigation is required regardless of the
67760-105 / 20150715
33
soil moisture level at planting or the cumulative precipitation that occurs over the next 5 days (unless
rainfall occurs in a single event and equals the activation moisture requirement). If rainfall or sprinkler
activation cannot be managed, waiting for weeds to emerge and applying SOLIDA herbicide
postemergence may result in better weed control.
If a clean, newly prepared seedbed, free of emerged or germinating weeds does not occur and weeds are
present at application, the addition of a spray adjuvant may improve weed control (see the SPRAY
ADJUVANT section of this label for additional information). Control may not be adequate for weeds that
are greater than 1 inch in height or diameter or weeds that have an established root system before
activation of SOLIDA herbicide.
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
For postemergence applications, apply SOLIDA herbicide at 1.0 to 2.0 ounces product per acre (use 2.0
ounces per acre for longer residual) to young, actively growing weeds after the crop has reached the
cotyledon stage. Optimum performance is obtained when weeds are less than 1 inch in height or diameter
and are actively growing.
Use a surfactant at a minimum rate of 0.25% V/V (2 pints/100 gallons of water). The use of crop oil
concentrate, methylated seed oils, nitrogen fertilizer solution, or nonionic surfactant rates above 0.25% V/V
may result in temporary crop chlorosis (yellowish color). Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (such as drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
temperatures, extreme temperature variations, or saturated or water-logged soils), temporary crop chlorosis
(yellowish color) may occur after application with SOLIDA herbicide. Symptoms usually disappear within 5
to 15 days.
For best results with SOLIDA herbicide postemergence, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/2 to 1 inch (sandy
soils apply at least 1/2, sandy loams apply at least 1/2, silt soils apply at least 3/4 inch, clay soils apply at
least 1 inch), no sooner than 4 hours but not more than 5 days after application, will activate SOLIDA
herbicide in the soil and help provide control of subsequent flushes of annual weeds.
Postemergence applications of SOLIDA herbicide should be made after the tomatoes reach the cotyledon
stage.
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS TOMATOES
Annual weeds at times may have multiple flushes of seedlings, or treated weeds may sometimes regrow
from underground stems or roots, depending upon rainfall and other environmental conditions. To
maximize control of such weeds, it may be necessary to use sequential applications of SOLIDA herbicide.
PREEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
Applications of SOLIDA herbicide may be applied preemergence followed by a single or multiple
applications postemergence.
Note: For sequential applications the total amount of SOLIDA herbicide cannot exceed 4.0 oz product per
acre per year on a broadcast basis.
POSTEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
Multiple applications of SOLIDA herbicide may be applied postemergence, optimum control is seen when
the first application is made to small actively growing weeds, followed by a second application 7 to 14 days
later.
67760-105 / 20150715
34
Note: For sequential applications the total amount of SOLIDA herbicide cannot exceed 4.0 oz product per
acre per year on a broadcast basis.
BAND APPLICATIONS TOMATOES
SOLIDA herbicide can be applied preemergence and postemergence as a banded application. Use
proportionally less spray mixture based on the soil area actually sprayed. See the “Preemergence
Applications” and “Postemergence Applications” sections of this label for additional details on the use of
SOLIDA herbicide.
TANK MIXTURES TOMATOES
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on tomatoes in accordance
with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. When tank mixing SOLIDA herbicide with
another tomato pesticide(s), read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SOLIDA
herbicide and the tank mix partner(s).
SOLIDA herbicide may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above pesticide(s). If
these instructions conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA
herbicide. Tank mixtures with products that lower the spray solution pH may reduce weed control (such as
LI700 surfactant).
SOLIDA herbicide plus Foliar Fungicides
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with suitable registered fungicides (such as “KOVERALL”,
mancozeb, or chlorthalonil) on tomatoes. Tank mixtures with copper-containing fungicides may reduce
weed control.
Read and follow all manufacturers label instructions for the companion fungicide. If these instructions
conflict with this SOLIDA herbicide label, do not use as a tank mix with SOLIDA herbicide.

PREEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
Applications of SOLIDA herbicide may be applied Preemergence followed by single or multiple applications
of Postemergence.
Note: For sequential applications the total amount of SOLIDA herbicide cannot exceed 4.0 oz product per
acre year on a broadcast basis.
POSTEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
Multiple applications of SOLIDA herbicide may be applied postemergence; optimum control is seen when
the first application is made to small actively growing weeds followed by a second application 7 to 14 days
later.
Note: For sequential applications the total amount of SOLIDA herbicide cannot exceed 4.0 oz product per
acre per year on a broadcast basis.
BAND APPLICATIONS TOMATOES:
SOLIDA herbicide can be applied in a preemergence band at 2.0 to 4.0 oz product per acre (For example,
0.5 to 1.0 oz of product per conventional broadcast acre assuming 25% banding) followed by two separate
postemergence band applications applied at 2 oz product per acre (For example, 0.5 oz of product per
conventional broadcast acre assuming 25% banding) over the same sprayed area.
Do not make any more than three band applications of SOLIDA herbicide per year.

SOLIDA HERBICIDE ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES TOMATO
For crops listed below, planting prior to the interval shown may result in crop injury when using SOLIDA
herbicide. Rotation intervals may need to be extended to 18 months if drought conditions prevail after
application and before the rotational crop is planted, unless supplemental sprinkler irrigation has been
applied and totals greater than 15 inches during the growing season. For tank mixtures, follow the most
restrictive rotational crop guideline.

Potatoes Anytime
Soybeans 10
Tomatoes Anytime
Wheat, Winter 4
Crops Not Listed 12
Note: Where drip-irrigated tomatoes are grown, rotate only to tomato, potato, or field corn as crop
injury may result.
Rotational crops may be planted at indicated intervals provided the fields are deep disked or plowed
and thorough soil mixing is achieved prior to planting the rotational crop.
RESTRICTIONS TOMATO
x Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide within 45 days of tomato harvest.
x Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide by air on tomatoes.
x Do not apply using assisted (Airblast) field crops sprayers on tomatoes.
x Do not exceed 4.0 ounces SOLIDA herbicide per acre (broadcast basis) on tomatoes during
the same growing season per year.
x Do not apply to tomatoes growing in greenhouses, cold frames, pot cultures, etc. Apply only to
tomatoes growing in fields.
x Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
CULTIVATION
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond the
maximum size at application, or weeds that emerge after an application of SOLIDA herbicide.
x Cultivation up to 7 days before the postemergence application of SOLIDA herbicide may decrease
weed control by pruning weed roots, placing the weeds under stress or covering the weeds with soil
and preventing coverage by SOLIDA herbicide.
x To allow SOLIDA herbicide to fully control treated weeds, do not cultivate for 7 days after
application.
x Optimizing timing for cultivation is 7 to14 days after a postemergence application of SOLIDA
herbicide.
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
Quackgrass: For best results, apply SOLIDA herbicide postemergence to quackgrass that is 4 to 8 inches
tall. Quackgrass not emerged at the time of application will not be controlled or suppressed and would
require a second postemergence application for acceptable control.
Black Nightshade (Tomatoes): For best results, apply SOLIDA herbicide preemergence (prior to weed
germination) at 2 to 4 oz per acre followed by a postemergence application at 1 to 2 oz per acre to small
actively growing weeds.
67760-105 / 20150715
39
Canada Thistle: For best results, apply SOLIDA herbicide postemergence to small actively growing
Canada thistle. Canada thistle not emerged at the time of application will not be controlled or suppressed
and would require a second postemergence application for acceptable control.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Include a spray adjuvant with applications of SOLIDA herbicide when applied by itself and postemergence
to the weeds. Consult your Ag dealer or applicator prior to using an adjuvant system. If another herbicide
is tank mixed with SOLIDA herbicide, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products
must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 910 or 40 CFR 920).
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
x Apply 0.125 to 0.25% v/v (1 to 2 pints/100 gal. of water). The 0.25% v/v rate is preferred under arid
or drought conditions.
x Surfactant products must contain at least 80% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic
balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
x Apply at 1% volume/volume (1 gal. per 100 gal. spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
x Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high-quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable
seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
x Blended products that contain both MSO and silicone are acceptable at labeled rates.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
x Use 2 quart/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2
lb/acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quart/acre UAN or 4 lb/acre AMS under
arid conditions.
x Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
Special Adjuvant Types
x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS and
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
x Do not use any other adjuvant rates or mixtures with SOLIDA herbicide unless instructed to do so
by Cheminova representative.
Precautions:
1. The use of silicone polymer-type surfactants is not suggested as reduced weed control may result.
2. Avoid using crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO) when tomatoes are under
heat stress (>85 degrees F) as multiple stresses may cause crop injury.
EQUIPMENTSPRAY VOLUMES
Agitate the spray tank continuously to keep the material in suspension.
Do not use equipment and/or spray volumes that will cause damage from spray by drift onto nontarget
sites. Do not make applications when weather conditions are likely to cause spray to drift onto nontarget
sites. (see the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of this label for additional information).
GROUND APPLICATION POTATOES AND TOMATOES
To ensure optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, apply SOLIDA herbicide with a properly
calibrated, low-pressure (20 to 40 psi) boom sprayer equipped with flat fan, “Twinjet”, underleaf banding
nozzles or flood jet nozzles. Nozzle screens should be no finer than 50 mesh. When using flood nozzles,
67760-105 / 20150715
40
the spray pattern should overlap 100% for optimum product performance. For banded applications even-
flow flat fan or twin jet spray nozzles may provide a more uniform spray distribution.
For maximum preemergence activity, prior to application, the bed or soil surface should be smooth and
relatively free of crop and weed trash (dead weeds, decaying leaves, clippings, etc.). Leaves and trash
may be removed by blowing the area to be treated or by thoroughly mixing the trash into the soil through
cultivation prior to herbicide application. Cultural practices that result in redistribution or disturbance of the
soil surface after treatment will decrease the herbicidal effectiveness of SOLIDA herbicide. Cutting water
furrows or cultivations that mix untreated soil into the treated areas will also reduce the effectiveness of the
herbicide treatment.
For best weed management, apply SOLIDA herbicide with another suitable residual herbicide registered for
that crop on all soil types, but especially on coarse-textured soils under standard sprinklers or micro-
sprinklers.
More than one banded application of SOLIDA herbicide may be needed to provide extended weed control.
PRECAUTIONS
x Potato and tomato varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. Cheminova
recommends that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to
sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to a small area.
x Preemergence use on soils containing more than 6% organic matter may not provide adequate soil-
residual weed control and may result in reduced weed control.
x Preemergence and postemergence use on rill-irrigated potatoes and tomatoes (furrow or gravity)
may not provide adequate weed control in the absence of rainfall.
x If sprinklers are used for frost protection, delay the application of SOLIDA herbicide until stress from
environmental conditions has passed.
x Avoid spray drift to any adjacent crops or desirable plants as injury may occur.
x Crop injury may occur following an application of SO LIDA herbicide if there is a prolonged period of
cold weather and/or cold weather in conjunction with wet soils caused by poor drainage or
excessive use of sprinkler irrigation for frost protection.
x Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where their
roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with
their roots may injure these plants. Trees or other desirable plants whose roots extend into a
treated crop use area may be injured.
x For best results, maintain spray tank solution at pH 5 to 7.
x Do not apply to frozen or snow-covered soil. Crop injury may occur from applications made to
poorly drained soils.
x If the selected companion herbicide has a ground or surface water advisory, consider the advisory
when using the companion herbicide.
x Tank mixing SOLIDA herbicide with organophosphate insecticides in tomatoes may result in crop
injury.

RANGELAND RESTORATION WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
PRODUCT INFORMATION
A restoration management program that includes SOLIDA herbicide may be used when rangeland has
become severely infested with invasive weed species such that the land has deteriorated to a point that it is
no longer suitable for grazing or forage production. To reclaim these lands, the invasive weed species must
first be controlled to allow native grasses to reestablish or to be replanted with desirable forage grasses.
The grasses must be allowed time to reestablish before grazing or forage production is resumed. A typical
restoration management program will take one to two years. SOLIDA herbicide may be used to control
grass and broadleaf weeds listed in this section under Weeds Controlled. The residual activity of SOLIDA
herbicide will also help prevent the reemergence of many of these weeds while desirable grasses are being
reestablished.
At the maximum application rate of 4.0 ounces of SOLIDA herbicide per acre per year, desirable rangeland
perennial grasses in the treated area may exhibit a temporary chlorosis (yellowing of foliage) following
application. The use of an adjuvant with SOLIDA herbicide can increase desirable perennial grass injury.
Do not graze treated sites or cut for forage or hay for a minimum of 1 year after application in order to allow
newly emerged grasses sufficient time to become established. Where practical, fencing or other measures
are to be used to prevent early grazing of re-established sites to help promote active grass restoration.
67760-105 / 20150715
43
RESTORATION PROGRAM
An effective restoration program may include one or more of the following steps (A through F):
A. Identify and inventory weeds and desired grass densities.
B. Consult and plan the entire program with personnel experienced in herbicide programs and range
restoration.
C. Make applications of SOLIDA herbicide prior to soil freeze or after spring thaw. Make sure all label
precautions are followed.
D. Include a tank mix partner labeled for use on rangeland to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled.
E. Plant grass seed as needed to improve the site, per the Grass Replant Interval in this section of the
label.
x Plant to obtain the highest possible grass stand establishment.
x Plant a selected grass mixture to improve the desired stand.
x Use a properly fitted drill to help ensure correct seed placement and depth.
x Seed in late fall to best ensure moisture for seed germination. Seeding in the spring has the
highest risk of stand failure.
x Consult with a knowledgeable grass seed supplier to select the best-suited varieties for your
area.
F. Treat for second year forbs (if necessary): Treat with REPORT
® Herbicide (75% chlorsulfuron) (0.25 to
1 ounce per acre) + bromoxynil (1 pint per acre) to weeds at the early growth stage.
GRASS REPLANT INTERVAL
The replant interval is for soils with a pH of less than 7.5. Soils having a pH greater than 7.5 will require a
longer interval. The replant interval is for applications made in the spring. Because SOLIDA herbicide
degradation is slowed by cold, dry, or frozen soils, the replant interval for applications made in the fall
should begin the spring following treatment.
Following a treatment with SOLIDA herbicide at use rates up to 4.0 ounces of product per acre, the
following grasses may be replanted at least 7 months after a spring application. Rainfall or irrigation of at
least 1/2 inch following treatment is necessary to replant 7 months after a SOLIDA herbicide application. If
the treated site does not receive at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation within 4 weeks after SOLIDA
herbicide application, then the grass replant interval is 12 months.

Testing has indicated that there is considerable variation in response among species and types of grasses
when seeded into areas treated with SOLIDA herbicide. If species other than those listed above are to be
planted into areas treated with SOLIDA herbicide, a field bioassay should be performed, or previous
experience may be used to determine the feasibility of replanting treated areas. To conduct a field
67760-105 / 20150715
44
bioassay, grow to maturity test strips of the grass species you plan to grow the following year. The test
strips should cross the entire field including knolls and low areas. Crop response to the bioassay will
indicate whether or not to plant the grass species grown in the test strips.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied using ground or aerial spray equipment. Fixed-wing aircraft and
helicopters can be used to apply SOLIDA herbicide; however, do not make applications by fixed-wing
aircraft unless appropriate buffer zones can be maintained to prevent spray drift out of the target area or,
when treating open tracts of land, spray drift as a result of fixed-wing aircraft application can be tolerated.
Aerial equipment designed to minimize spray drift, such as a helicopter equipped with a Microfoil® boom or
raindrop nozzles, must be used and calibrated. Except when applying with a Microfoil® boom, a drift-control
agent may be added at the labeled rate.
APPLICATION RATES AND TIMING
Apply SOLIDA herbicide at 2.0 to 4.0 ounces per acre in the fall or spring, prior to moisture expectation and
plant growth. Do not apply when soil is frozen. For residual activity, moisture is required to activate SOLIDA
herbicide. When applied at lower rates in the spring, SOLIDA herbicide provides suppression* of weeds
listed. When applied at higher rates in the fall, weed control is afforded.
* Weed suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population and/or vigor) as
compared to an untreated check. The degree of actual control that may occur will vary with the size of
the weeds, the degree of weed or desirable grass competition, and environmental conditions.
TANK MIXTURES
SOLIDA herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for rangeland use. Refer to the label
of the tank mix partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions. SOLIDA herbicide may be mixed
with Report Herbicide (chlorsulfuron) at 0.25 to 1 ounce per acre to broaden the spectrum of broadleaf and
grass weed control. Refer to the REPORT
® Herbicide label for additional information on weed species
controlled, use rates, and instructions or restrictions.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
When applied at 2.0 ounces per acre in the spring, SOLIDA herbicide suppresses the following weeds and
when applied at 3.0 ounces per acre in the fall, SOLIDA herbicide controls the following weeds:
Brome, downy (cheatgrass) Bromus tectorum
Brome, Japanese Bromus japonicus
Cheat Bromus secalinus

USE PRECAUTIONS
Treatment of powdery, dry soil or light sandy soil when there is little likelihood of rainfall soon after
treatment may result in off-target movement and possible damage to susceptible crops when soil particles
are moved by wind or water. Injury to crops may result if treated soil is washed, blown, or moved onto land
used to produce crops. Exposure to SOLIDA herbicide may injure or kill most crops. Injury may be more
severe when the crops are irrigated. Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide when these conditions are identified
and where powdery, dry soil or light or sandy soil is known to be prevalent in the area to be treated.
In order to reduce the potential for off-site movement of SOLIDA herbicide from wind or water-related soil
erosion, do not burn, disk, or otherwise disturb treated sites between the time of application and reseeding
or reestablishment of native grasses.
Preemergence use on soils containing more than 6% organic matter may result in reduced weed control.
Minimize spray drift to any adjacent crops or planned crop planting areas or desirable plants since injury
may occur.
Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or in areas where their roots may
extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots may injure
these plants.
Crops (especially crops other than pome fruit, tree nuts, stone fruit, citrus, grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, and
field corn) whose roots may extend into a treated area may be injured.
RESTRICTIONS
Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water that may be used on other crops.
Do not treat frozen soil. Do not apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals including their outer banks. Do not
apply through any type of irrigation system. If restoration sites treated with SOLIDA herbicide are to be
converted to an agricultural use other than rangeland, consult the SOLIDA herbicide label for all rotational
crop instructions.
SELECTIVE WEED CONTROL AND INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT IN
NON-CROP SITES
SOLIDA herbicide is a water dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for weed
control on private, public, and military lands as follows: non-agricultural areas (such as airports, highway,
railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage disposal areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas non-crop
producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence rows, non-irrigation ditchbanks, barrier strips, etc.);
industrial sites outdoor (such as lumberyards, pipeline and tank farms, etc.) and non-cropland wildlife
habitats.
INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT
SOLIDA herbicide may be used on public, private, and tribal lands to treat certain weed species infestations
that have been determined to be invasive, consistent with the Federal Interagency Committee for
Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) National Early Detection and Rapid Response
(EDRR) System for invasive plants.
67760-105 / 20150715
47
Effective EDRR systems address invasions by eradicating the invader where possible, and controlling them
when the invasive species is too established to be feasibly eradicated. Once an EDRR assessment has
been completed and action is recommended, a Rapid Response needs to be taken to quickly contain, deny
reproduction, and if possible, eliminate the invader. Consult your appropriate state extension service,
forest service, or regional multidisciplinary invasive species management coordination team to determine
the appropriate Rapid Response provisions and allowed treatments in your area.
SOLIDA herbicide is non-corrosive to spray equipment, non-flammable and non-volatile. Do not use
SOLIDA herbicide in a spray solution or with spray additives that buffer the pH to below 4.0 or above 8.0 as
degradation of SOLIDA herbicide may occur.
SOLIDA herbicide may be used in weed management programs on non-crop sites to provide residual
preemergence and early postemergence control of the following weeds:
Barnyardgrass Echinochloa crus-galli
Browme, downy
Crabgrass, large
Bromus tectorum
Digitaria sanguinalis
Foxtail, giant Setaria faberi
Foxtail, green Setaria viridis
Foxtail, yellow Setaria pumila
Filaree redstem Erodium cicutarium
Fleabane, hairy Conyza bonariensis
Mallow, common Malva neglecta
Marestail/horseweed*
Medusahead
Conyza canadensis
Taeniatherum caput-medusae
Mustard, black Brassica nigra
Pigweed, redroot Amaranthus retroflexus
Pigweed, smooth Amaranthus hybridus
Puncturevine Tribulus terrestris
* Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of this weed are known to exist in some areas of the U.S. SOLIDA
herbicide will not control these biotypes.
Refer to the rest of the label for other weeds controlled.
To provide a broader spectrum of residual weed control, SOLIDA herbicide may be applied in a tank
mixture with other registered preemergence herbicides. When weeds are present at application, include a
labeled burndown herbicide, such as Glyfos
® X-TRA.
For best results, make postemergence applications to young, actively growing weeds and include a spray
adjuvant. Refer to the label of the tank mixture partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions.
Follow the most restrictive labeling of any of the tank-mix component products.
TANK MIXTURES
SOLIDA herbicide may be mixed with other herbicides registered for non-crop use. It may also be tank
mixed with any adjuvants registered for non-crop use. Refer to the label of the tank mixture partner(s) for
67760-105 / 20150715
48
any additional use instructions or restrictions.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Apply SOLIDA herbicide at 4.0 ounces broadcast per acre. Do not apply more than 4.0 ounces of
SOLIDA herbicide per acre per year.
For best preemergence and residual activity, SOLIDA herbicide must be activated by rainfall and applied
when soil temperatures are cool. Make applications to take advantage of normal rainfall patterns (minimum
of 1/2 inch) and cooler temperatures. For best results, moisture for activation should occur within 2 to 3
weeks after application.
To help ensure uniform coverage, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Nozzle selection
should meet manufacturer's spray volume and pressure recommendations for preemergence or
postemergence herbicide applications.
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied using ground or aerial spray equipment. Fixed wing aircraft and
helicopters can be used to apply SOLIDA herbicide; however, do not make applications by fixed wing
aircraft unless appropriate buffer zones can be maintained to prevent spray drift out of the target area or,
when treating open tracts of land, spray drift as a result of fixed wing aircraft application can be tolerated.
Aerial equipment designed to minimize spray drift, such as helicopter equipped with a Microfoil™ boom or
raindrop nozzles, must be used and calibrated. Except when applying with a Microfoil™ boom, a drift
control agent may be added at the labeled rate.
NON-CROPLAND RESTORATION
SOLIDA herbicide is labeled for the control of downy brome (cheatgrass), medusahead, and certain
broadleaf weeds in non-cropland. In order to release desirable, perennial grass species for site restoration,
SOLIDA herbicide may be applied at 3.0 to 4.0 ounces of product per acre in the fall, within 6 weeks before
the expected date when the soil freezes. Use the higher rate for medusahead control.
To provide broader spectrum broadleaf weed control in non-crop land restoration, a tank mixture of SOLIDA
herbicide and Report Herbicide may be used. Include Report Herbicide at the use rate of 0.5 ounce per
acre.
USE PRECAUTIONS
Treatment of powdery, dry soil or light, sandy soil when there is little likelihood of rainfall soon after
treatment may result in off-target movement and possible damage to susceptible crops when soil particles
are moved by wind or water. Injury to crops may result if treated soil is washed, blown, or moved onto land
used to produce crops. Exposure to SOLIDA herbicide may injure or kill most crops. Injury may be more
severe when the crops are irrigated. Do not apply SOLIDA herbicide when these conditions are identified
and powdery, dry soil or light or sandy soil is known to be prevalent in the area to be treated.
Preemergence use on soils containing more than 6% organic matter may result in reduced weed control.
67760-105 / 20150715
49
Avoid spray drift to any adjacent crops or planned crop planting areas or desirable plants since injury may
occur.
Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or in areas where their roots may
extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots may injure
these plants.
Crops (especially crops other than pome fruit, tree nuts, stone fruit, citrus, grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, and
field corn) whose roots may extend into a treated area may be injured.
Where food and/or feed crops are grown, or in areas where food and/or feed crops are planned to be
grown, care should be taken to prevent any direct spray of SOLIDA herbicide onto, or drift to, these crops
or planned planting areas since severe crop injury may occur.
RESTRICTIONS
Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water that may be used on other crops. Do not
apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals including their outer banks. Do not apply when the soil is frozen.
If non-crop sites treated with SOLIDA herbicide are to be converted to an agriculture use, consult the
SOLIDA herbicide package label for all rotational crop instructions.
ADDITIONAL USE INFORMATION ALL CROPS AND USES
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
SOLIDA herbicide must be completely dissolved in clean water before adding to spray tanks that do not
have continuous agitation during loading and mixing. (This is common for airplanes with turbine engines).
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of SOLIDA herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the SOLIDA herbicide is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the SOLIDA herbicide is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the required amount of spray adjuvant
(if needed). Always add the spray adjuvant last.
6. Dispersed tank mix partners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated. If settling occurs,
thoroughly re-agitate before using.
7. Apply SOLIDA herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If SOLIDA herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the
SOLIDA herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
If the selected companion herbicide has a ground or surface water advisory, consider this advisory when
using the companion herbicide.
At the End of the Day
After each day of spraying multiple loads of SOLIDA herbicide, the interior of the tank should be rinsed with
fresh water and then partially filled and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried
pesticide deposits from accumulating in the application equipment.
After Spraying SOLIDA Herbicide and Before Spraying Other Crops
67760-105 / 20150715
50
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
immediately following applications of SOLIDA herbicide as follows:
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the tank volume. 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.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
The rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) listed on this label. Do not exceed the maximum
labeled use rate. If 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 should be done to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
3. When SOLIDA herbicide is tank mixed with other pes ticides, all cleanout procedures for each product
should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
4. Follow any pre-cleanout guidelines specified on other product labels.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of a number of 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. Where states have more
stringent regulations, they should be followed.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. 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
Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GENERAL TECHNIQUES
x Volume Use high flow-rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
x Pressure Use the lower spray pressures listed 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.
x Nozzle Type Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle
types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE AIRCRAFT
x Number of Nozzles Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide
uniform coverage.
x Nozzle Orientation Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the
airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.

x Nozzle Type Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented
straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
x Boom Length The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length longer booms
increase drift potential.
x Application Height Application more than 10 feet above the canopy increases the potential for
spray drift.
BOOM HEIGHT
Set the boom at the lowest height that provides uniform coverage and reduces the exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, 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 inversion potential) or more than 10
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
given wind speed. Do not apply when wind speed is less than 3 mph or above 10 mph.
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 or reduce
effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated
cloud. Temperature 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 an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of
the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the
product.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
SOLIDA herbicide is absorbed through the roots and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
susceptible weeds. For preemergence weed control, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move
SOLIDA herbicide into the soil. Weeds will generally not emerge from preemergence applications. In some
cases, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases
and leaves become chlorotic (yellowish) three to five days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and
growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive.
One to three weeks after postemergence application to weeds, leaves of susceptible plants appear
67760-105 / 20150715

chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently dies. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide
symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. Death of
leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but stunted and
noncompetitive.
SOLIDA herbicide provides the best control of weeds in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive
weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not provide satisfactory control.
However, a crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
The herbicidal action of SOLIDA herbicide may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse
environmental conditions such as abnormally hot or cold temperatures, abnormal soil conditions such as
extremely dry or water-saturated soil, or hail or frost damage. Incomplete control may also result on plants
injured from disruptive cultural practices, herbicide carryover from a previous crop, or injury from insects,
diseases, or other pests. Additionally, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to
SOLIDA herbicide. It is best to delay applications until stress has been alleviated.
Postemergence weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application. Several hours of dry
weather are needed to allow SOLIDA herbicide to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage (generally
SOLIDA herbicide is rainfast in 4 hours).
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 the field. Adequate control to
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 usage available in your area.
Naturally occurring weed biotypes that are resistant to Amber®, Accurate
®, Report™, Report Extra™,
Nuance™, and Nimble™ will also be resistant to SOLIDA herbicide.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
To better control pests, Cheminova recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). SOLIDA
herbicide may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program, which can include biological,
cultural, and genetic practices, aimed at preventing economic pest identification, population monitoring, and
treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your agricultural
dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for
treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area.
