PRODUCT INFORMATION
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide is a suspension concentrate used at the rate of 1.5 ounces per
acre for selective postemergence grass and broadleaf weed control in field corn. SOLIDA
GRANDE should be shaken well before use. Do not apply to field corn grown for seed, to
popcorn or to sweet corn. Do not make more than one application of SOLIDA GRANDE
Herbicide per cropping season. Do not apply aerially iii California or New York State.
WHEN TO APPLY
TIMING TO CROP STAGE
Apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to corn that is up to 20 inches tall and exhibiting up to and
including 6 leaf-collars. Do not apply to corn taller than 20 inches or exhibiting more than 6 leaf
collars, whichever is more restrictive. Some State and corn hybrid restrictions apply (see below).
Not all SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide tank mixtures may be applied to corn that is beyond 12" tall.
Consult TANK MIX APPLICATIONS for more information. While SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide
has a wide application window, research has shown best results are obtained when applications
are made early postemergence when corn and weeds are small. Target applications to corn that
is less than 12" tall for best overall performance. .
Apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to field corn hybrids with a relative maturity (RM) rating of 77
days or more, including "food grade" (yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy and oil corn. Not all
field corn hybrids of less than 77 days RM, not all white corn hybrids nor 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 GRANDE Herbicide on these types of corn
is the responsibility of the user. Consult with your seed supplier before applying SOLIDA
GRANDE Herbicide to any of these corn types. Applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to
corn hybrids of 77-88 CRM should be limited to corn that is 12" tall, less than or equal to 5-leaf
3
collars, whichever is most restrictive. In addition, the application of tank mixtures with dicamba­
containing herbicides (such as "Clarity" or "Distinct") to 77-88 CRM corn should contain no more
than 2 ounces a.L dicamba (e.g. 4 ounces "Clarity"). Seed company publications indicate
"Warning", "Crop Response Warning", or "Sensitive" notations for the use of some ALS
herbicides on corn hybrids of 77 CRM or higher. As noted in the seed company publications,
Cheminova sulfonylurea herbicides such as SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide should be used with
caution on these hybrids. Limit SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide applications to corn that is up to
12" tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive, in the states of KS, OK,
and TX.
TIMING TO WEEDS
Apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide when grasses are young and actively growing, but before
they exceed the sizes listed on this label.
• Applications made to weeds at growth stages greater than those listed below may result
in incomplete control. . Grass competition due to incomplete control may reduce yields.
• Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. Rainfall within 5 to 7 days after
application will enhance SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide residual activity.
If an activating rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (>0.5 inch) is not received within 5-7 days after
application, follow with a cultivation or with a sequential application of NIC-IT® if needed. See
CULTIVATION or SEQUENTIAL NIC-IT® APPLICATIONS.

As weeds mature, their sensitivity to SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide decreases. Grassy weeds
growing under stress due to drought or other environmental factors may become mature (more
than 3 tillers) before they reach the size listed, in which case their susceptibility to SOLIDA
GRANDE Herbicide may be reduced.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide must include either a crop oil concentrate or a
non ionic surfactant. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless
specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium
nitrogen fertilizers is the preferred adjuvant system for SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide. If another
herbicide is tank mixed with SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide, select adjuvants authorized for use
with both products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or
Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Apply at 1 % v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
• 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.
• 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)
• Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% non ionic surfactant with a
hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or
32%N, or 2 pounds/acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre
UAN or 4 pounds/acre AMS under arid conditions.
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
5
Special Adjuvant Types
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount
of NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for
use rates and restrictions.
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they
provide the same functionality and have been evaluated and approved.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5
minutes.
4. Once the SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue
filling tank with water. Thoroughly mix SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with water before
adding any other material.
5. As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic
surfactant, or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer).
6. If the mixture is not co·ntinuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly
re-agitate before using.
7. Apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid
product degradation.
8. If SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads,
pre-slurry the SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the SOLIDA
GRANDE Herbicide.
WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING
REDUCED RATES OF PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be used as a sequential application in a planned
postemergence weed control program in corn following a reduced rate of a preemergence
herbicide.
Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence grass herbicide prior to corn emergence and then
follow with a postemergence application of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide. Apply products such
as "Cinch", "Balance" PRO, "Axiom", "Dual" 1\ Magnum, "Surpass", "Outlook" and "Harness Xtra"
at as low as % to % of the full labeled use rate and follow with a sequential postemergence
application of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide. Refer to WHEN TO APPLY - POSTEMERGENCE
and ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY sections for complete
application information and precautions. Refer to the preemergence grass herbicide label for
use restrictions, application information, rotational crop guidelines, and cautionary statements
prior to applying SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide.
Do not apply SOLIDA GRANDE herbicide to corn that exhibits herbicide injury from previous
applications made to the current or preceding crop.
TANK MIX APPLICATIONS
Applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide tank mixtures containing atrazine and/or dicamba
(in some states) are limited to corn that is up to 12" tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars,
whichever is most restrictive. See TANK MIXTURES WITH "DISTINCT" OR DICAMBA for
additional information. Refer to the table below for weeds controlled using preferred tank
mixtures.

\\~ t\
For improved grass and broadleaf weed control, SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide tank mixtures with
1.5 ounces "Callisto" (with or without atrazine) may be applied with 0.5% vlv MSO spray
adjuvant.
Do not use MSO adjuvants when tank mixing SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with >1.5 ounces
"Callisto". Use a petroleum-based crop oil concentrate + an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
Tank Mixtures with "Distinct" or Dicamba
In situations where the use of crop oil concentrate with growth regulator herbicides is not
desirable (e.g. extremely cold weather), SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2
ounces "Distinct" + a non ionic surfactant at 0.25% vlv (1 quartl100 gallons spray solution) in
place of crop oil concentrate, but overall weed control may be reduced.
Tank mixture applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with herbicides containing dicamba
(e.g. 1-2 ounces "Distinct" and 4 fluid ounces "Clarity") should be limited to corn that is up to 12"
tall, up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive, except for the states east of
the line formed by the western borders of MI, IN, KY, TN, and MS. In these states the upper
corn size limits are 20" tall, up to and including 6 leaf collars.
Tank Mixtures with "Spirit"
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with 0.5 ounces of "Spirit" herbicide for
additional control of velvetleaf, common and giant ragweed, lambsquarters, ivyleaf morningglory,
Pennsylvania smartweed, and sunflower. Applications must be made to emerged field corn
before the corn is 12" tall or is exhibiting 6 leaf collars, whichever is the more restrictive.
For Additional Control of Crabgrass and Later Emerging Grasses
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of preemergence
grass herbicides labeled for early postemergence application to field corn (such as "Cinch",
"Prowl H20", "Surpass" Ee, "Dual" II Magnum, arid "Outlook") for increased residual activity of
later-emerging flushes of grasses such as smooth and large crabgrass. Application must be
made before the crabgrass emerges and before other grass weeds on the SOLIDA GRANDE
Herbicide label exceed their labeled sizes.
For Additional Control of Broadleaf Weeds
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2 pints per acre of "Lumax" or 2 1/3 pints
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 GRANDE Herbicide plus "Lumax" or "Lexar" the use of a non ionic
surfactant is recommended. 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 GRANDE 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 broad leaf weeds including common waterhemp, common ragweed, common
lambsquarters, and velvetleaf. When applying mixtures of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide plus
"Impact" at 0.5 fluid ounces per acre the use of methylated seed oil is recommended. Refer to
9
)
/
"Impact" label for additional information regarding application timing, tank mixtures, adjuvants,
and rotational crops.
The use of nonionic surfactant is recommended in place of crop oil concentrate for tank mixtures
with preemergence grass herbicides such as "Prowl H20", "Cinch", and "Lumax" where
applications are made early postemergence to small weeds.
See SPRAY ADJUVANTS for adjuvant rate recommendations.
When tank mixing SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with preemergence herbicides that restrict the
use of ammonium nitrogen fertilizer adjuvants and applications are made early-postemergence
to small weeds, follow restrictions on the tank mix partner label and/or omit the fertilizer
adjuvants. Tank mix rates of "Lumax" herbicide should be limited to no more than 2 pints per
acre.
When tank mixing SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with EC formulated preemergence grass
herbicides such as "Cinch", "Dual" II Magnum, or "Prowl H20", do not add "Callisto" herbicide to
the tank mixture. When other formulations of preemergence grass herbicides are tank mixed
with SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide + "Callisto" (such as "Cinch" ATZ or "Bicep II Magnum"), limit
preemergence herbicide rates to no more than 2/3 x full preemergence rates, always add a
non ionic surfactant in place of crop oil concentrate, and limit broad leaf weed sizes to less than
or equal to 4" tall.
Tank mixes of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide and preemergence grass herbicides must be
broadcast applied postemergence to field corn before the crop exceeds the heights listed on the
preemergence grass herbicide label. Refer to WHEN TO APPLY - POSTEMERGENCE and
the preemergence grass herbicide label for complete postemergence application information,
rates, and restrictions.
For Additional Control of Palmer Pigweed (Amaranth) in the
states of CO, KS and OK
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2.0-3.0 ounces a.i.lacre of dicamba (e.g.
4.0-6.0 fluid ounces/acre of "Clarity" or 2.0-4.0 fluid ounces/acre of "Distinct") and crop oil
concentrate for additional control of palmer pigweed. Applications must be made to corn that is
4-8" tall and is exhibiting fewer than 4 leaf-collars.
For Additional Control of Yellow Nutsedge
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with up to 0.66 ounce/acre "Permit" herbicide or
up to 4 ounces "Yukon" herbicide for control of yellow nutsedge. Applications must be made
before the corn exhibits 6 leaf collars or is 12" tall, whichever is the more restrictive. Consult the
"Permit" or "Yukon" labels for additional weeds controlled. Always add COC and ammonium
nitrogen fertilizer.
For Additional Control of Kochia
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with 1/3 to 2/3 pint per acre of "Starane" for
improved control of kochia. Use higher specified rates when weed infestation is heavy. Refer to
the specific "Starane" label for application timing and restrictions.
Tank Mixtures with Insecticides
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed with pyrethroid or carbamate insecticides such
as Declare®. .
10
To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply the products indicated below at least seven days
before or three days after the application of SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide.
Do not tank mix SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with "Basagran" and "Laddok" or severe crop injury
may occur.
Do not tank mix SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with 2,4-D-containing products as severe grass
control antagonism may occur.
Do not tank mix SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with foliar-applied organophosphate insecticides
such as Nufos®, Fyfanon®, "Lorsban", parathion, etc., as severe crop injury may occur.
Do not tank mix SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide with other acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting
herbicides unless the mixture is specifically recommended on the SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide
label, as severe crop injury may occur.
Other than the exceptions noted, and in addition to the tank mix partners and rates indicated
above, SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be tank mixed or followed with sequential applications
of other products registered for use in field corn. SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be applied in
tank mix combinations with full or reduced rates of other products provided:
• The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants,
and use restrictions as SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide.
• The tank mixture is not specifically prohibited on the label of the tank mix product.
• The tank mix combination is compatible as determined by a "jar test" described in the
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING section below.
Tank Mixing Precautions:
• Weed control and crop response with tank mixtures not specifically recommended in this
label are the responsibility of the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product.
• Read and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations specified on
the respective product labels.
• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide
with other products that contain the same active ingredients as SaLIDA GRANDE
Herbicide (nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron) unless the label of either tank mix partner
specifies the maximum rate that may be used.
• A corn plant's predisposition to develop fused tissue emerging from the whorl (rattail)
after the V-11 stage may increase when a product containing dicamba (Le. "Clarity",
"Marksman", "Distinct") is applied to small corn under early stressful conditions. Be
aware of this when applying tank mixes with dicamba to small corn (V-3 stage or smaller)
under stressful conditions. See ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS for a description of
these stressful conditions.
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide and
other pesticides. Use a clear glass 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 % hour. If the mixture ballS-Up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers,
or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used.
SEQUENTIAL NIC-ITTM APPLICATIONS
Apply NIC-IT® Herbicide 14 or more days after the SaLIDA GRANDE Herbicide applications to
11
-",
j
control grasses that may emerge later in the season. Refer to the NIC-Ir® Herbicide label for
grass species controlled, proper size of weeds, rates, corn sizes, and other information. When
following a SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide application, do not use more than 3 ounces NIC-IT® per
acre.
A sequential application of NIC-IT® Herbicide will affect crop rotation intervals to certain sensitive
crops, such as sugarbeets. For maximum crop rotation flexibility, consult the CROP ROTATION
section before applying NIC-Ir® Herbicide to fields previously treated with SOLIDA GRANDE
Herbicide.
CULTIVATION
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, or weeds that emerge after
an application of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide in the absence of an activating rainfall. Optimum
timing for cultivation is 7-14 days after SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide application or upon seeing
the establishment of new weeds.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide provides best results when applied to young, actively growing
weeds. Applications made during warm, moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil
moisture both before and after application maximizes performance.
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage, activating rainfall, weed
spectrum, weed size, growing conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant
selection.
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. Rainfall within 5-7 days will enhance
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide residual activity. A timely cultivation may be required for maximum
weed control without an activating rain.
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide is rainfast in 4 hours.
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that are under stress may result in
incomplete control. Poor weed control or crop injury may Jesuit from applications made to plants
under stress from:
• abnormally hotor cold weather
• environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
• disease, insect, or nematode injury
• prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year's herbicide application
Severe stress from conditions immediately following application may also result in crop injury or
poor weed control. Stress affects all weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass,
green and yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet.
If the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until stress passes and both
weeds and corn resume active growth.
Apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide when minimum nighttime temperatures are above 40°F and
the maximum daytime temperatures are below 92°F to maximize performance and minimize the
potential for crop injury.
Applications made during or immediately following periods of large day/night temperature
12
\~Z,\
fluctuations or where daytime temperatures do not exceed 50°F may decrease weed control and
increase the potential for crop injury.
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds, reducing weed
competition within as little as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21
days.
Ground application of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to dry, dusty fields may reduce weed control
in wheel track areas.
SOIL INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION
Before using SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide, ensure that it is compatible with any other
insecticides previously applied to the corn crop.
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop.
Crop response varies with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and
soil type.
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide may be applied to corn previously treated with "Fortress", "Aztec",
or "Force" insecticic,ies or non~organophosphate (OP) soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
• DO NOT APPLY SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to corn previously treated with "Counter"
15G, or corn treated with "Counter" 20 CR infurrow or over the row at cultivation.
• Applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide to corn previously treated with "Counter" 20
CR, "Lorsban", or "Thimet" may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of
less than 4% organic matter.
CROP ROTATION
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide
remaining in the soil. SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic,
microbiologically active soils. The amount of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide which may be
present in the soil depends on the soil pH and organic matter content, elapsed time since
application, crop production practices, and environmental factors.
Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry weather prevails between
application and rotational crop planting.
For fields treated with sequential applications of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide and NIC-ITTM
Herbicide, consult the crop rotation intervals listed on the NIC-ITTM Herbicide and SOLIDA
GRANDE Herbicide labels. Use the most restrictive recrop interval from either label.
The following rotational intervals must be observed when using SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide:

-Rotational intervals should be extended to 18 months if drought conditions prevail after application and before the
rotational crop is planted, unless sprinkler irrigation has been applied and totals greater than 15" during the growing
season.
tOn sprinkler irrigated fields in Idaho, Utah, and Northern Nevada it is best to use deep fall tillage such as plowing
prior to planting alfalfa. Product degradation may be less on furrow irrigated soils and may result in some crop
injury.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Many crops are highly sensitive to SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide. All direct or indirect contact
(such as spray drift) with crops other than field corn should be avoided (see also SPRAY DRIFT
MANAGEMENT). For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens. Do not
apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
GROUND APPLICATION
Broadcast Appllcaffon
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.
For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as
indicated, for example, by ASAE Standards S572. 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.
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.
14
) \lot:L\
Band Application
For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture. To avoid crop injury, carefully
calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds,
spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Aerial application is not permitted in New York State or California.
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.
SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pestiCide deposits before using
SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all
application equipment before applying SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide. Follow the cleanup
procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is
provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications of SOLIDA
GRANDE Herbicide, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop
injury.
Note:
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide, read and
follow label directions for proper rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
• Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply
multiple loads of SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the
end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit overnight.
Cleanup Procedure:
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses,
and boom with clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia*
(containing 3% active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water,
then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water
to completely fill the tank and allow to agitatelrecirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush
the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
3. Repeat Step 2.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing the
cleaning agent and water.
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min., flushing the water
through the hoses and boom.
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
15
')
I
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
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - 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.
• 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
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that
provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to
the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
• Nozzle 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 - The boom length should not exceed % of the wing or rotor length­
longer booms increase drift potential.
• Application Height - Application more than 10ft. 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. 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
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
16
~)
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.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
To better control pests, Cheminova recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management.
Rimsulfuron Herbicide 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
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.
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 sequentiai 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 recommendations available in your area.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Injury to or loss of desirable vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
• Do not apply SOLIDA GRANDE Herbicide or drain or flush application 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.
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas.
• Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
• Do not contaminate any body of water.
• Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use. (See the Sprayer
Cleanup section of this label for instructions).
• Do not graze or feed forage, hay, or straw from treated areas to livestock within 30 days
