|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
F9328-1 EC contains two Group 14 (carfentrazone-ethyl and fluthiacet-methyl) herbicides based on the mode of action
|
||
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
|
||
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
|
||
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other
|
||
cultural practices.
|
||
|
||
Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for
|
||
resistance.
|
||
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
|
||
management program.
|
||
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
• Apply full rates of F9328-1 EC for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct
|
||
weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
|
||
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to
|
||
this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
|
||
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
|
||
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
|
||
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14
|
||
and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed
|
||
production.
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
|
||
control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program.
|
||
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides.
|
||
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops
|
||
and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
• Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
F9328-1 EC is an EC formulation. F9328-1 EC is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid
|
||
fertilizer and adjuvants and applied for selective postemergence control of broadleaf weeds and/or for burndown prior
|
||
to planting in corn (field, pop, and sweet) and soybeans as well as a harvest aid in cotton.
|
||
|
||
F9328-1 EC is a contact herbicide. Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds
|
||
up to 4 inches in height. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of
|
||
desiccation, and in subsequent days necrosis and death of the plant occurs.
|
||
|
||
Extremes in environmental conditions including temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may
|
||
affect the activity of F9328-1 EC. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under
|
||
very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms may be reduced as weeds hardened off by drought are less
|
||
susceptible to F9328-1 EC.
|
||
|
||
F9328-1 EC is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid significant crop response, applications should
|
||
not be made within 6 to 8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Due to
|
||
environmental conditions and with certain spray tank additives, some herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
F9328-1 EC may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for the same uses to control weeds not listed on this
|
||
label. Follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions for the products being tank mixed. Tank mixtures of
|
||
F9328-1 EC with EC formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrates, methylated seed oils,
|
||
silicone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Use Requirements
|
||
The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum performance. Refer to the individual crop recommendation
|
||
sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
|
||
|
||
Methods of Application
|
||
F9328-1 EC is a versatile herbicide utilizing several different application methods to achieve the desired results. If
|
||
F9328-1 EC is being applied in standing crop situations, application methods and adjustments must be precise to
|
||
prevent undesirable effects to the desirable green stem tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
1. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre
|
||
2. Take care to ensure that the application does not drift to non-target areas
|
||
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
1. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre
|
||
2. Use a pump with enough capacity to maintain a rippling or rolling action in the spray tank
|
||
3. For a uniform spray mixture, agitation during mixing and application is required.
|
||
|
||
Mixing and Loading Instructions
|
||
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean water. Make sure the agitation system is operating while adding products.
|
||
Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level. The spray tank agitation should be sufficient to ensure uniform
|
||
spray mixture during application and must continue until the spray tank has been emptied. When tank mixing with
|
||
other products, F9328-1 EC should be mixed in the spray tank first. After the F9328-1 EC is thoroughly mixed, add the
|
||
other products as specified on their label. Ensure the compatibility of other products with F9328-1 EC before mixing
|
||
them together in the spray tank.
|
||
|
||
Avoid overnight storage of F9328-1 EC spray mixtures.
|
||
|
||
Premixing F9328-1 EC spray solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended.
|
||
|
||
Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation: DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray
|
||
solution to alter the pH range as appropriate.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
|
||
Many new pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment,
|
||
spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as
|
||
possible after spraying F9328-1 EC and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer
|
||
equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to
|
||
ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F9328-1 EC as required on the other product
|
||
labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application.
|
||
|
||
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove physical
|
||
sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then thoroughly flush sprayer
|
||
hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and
|
||
screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2.
|
||
|
||
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per
|
||
100 gallons of clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a
|
||
minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
|
||
|
||
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in
|
||
the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
|
||
|
||
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through
|
||
the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and
|
||
screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution.
|
||
|
||
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and
|
||
guidelines.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with F9328-1 EC spray solution remaining in
|
||
the tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
|
||
|
||
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning any
|
||
application.
|
||
|
||
Should small quantities of F9328-1 EC remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they
|
||
may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation.
|
||
FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
|
||
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated, and operated to deliver uniform spray droplets to the targeted plant or plant
|
||
parts. Adjust sprayer nozzles to achieve uniform plant coverage. Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by
|
||
continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may result in higher application rates.
|
||
|
||
Conventional Boom and Nozzle Sprayers
|
||
Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips, and screens, and adjusted to
|
||
provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles that produce
|
||
minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. DO NOT exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise required by the
|
||
manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray
|
||
volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than
|
||
18 inches above the crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows
|
||
and/or into the whorl of treated crop plants.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine
|
||
droplets. Apply at a minimum of 5 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher aerial spray volumes are required for
|
||
harvest aid and defoliation treatments. Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or
|
||
crop canopy.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or
|
||
crop canopy.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan or 90%
|
||
of rotor diameter. To further reduce drift, use on half of the length of the wingspan or rotor diameter at the edge
|
||
of the field.
|
||
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
Carfentrazone-ethyl and fluthiacet-methyl are contact herbicides. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the
|
||
product to contact desirable vegetation. Carfentrazone-ethyl and fluthiacet-methyl are not volatile; however, mist from
|
||
spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants.
|
||
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator
|
||
and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
|
||
|
||
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from applications to
|
||
agricultural field crops. These requirements DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to
|
||
applications of dry materials.
|
||
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
|
||
|
||
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side,
|
||
immediately prior to application.
|
||
|
||
Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) - The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to encourage
|
||
the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift.
|
||
The use of DRTs should result in significantly less pesticide from spray applications drifting and being deposited in
|
||
areas not targeted by those applications, compared to spray technologies that do not meet the minimum DRT
|
||
standard. EPA-verified drift reduction technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the following webpage as
|
||
they become available: https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-and-rated-driftreduction-technologies
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
|
||
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are
|
||
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
|
||
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
|
||
with a higher flow rate.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine
|
||
droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
|
||
equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
|
||
shields are preventing drift and not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an
|
||
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 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. Avoid applications
|
||
during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read
|
||
and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that
|
||
increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray
|
||
solution.
|
||
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology
|
||
(CPDA).
|
||
|
||
Sensitive Areas – F9328-1 EC shall only be applied when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.
|
||
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species and non-target crops).
|
||
|
||
PREPLANT BURNDOWN in Corn & Soybean
|
||
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC no later than one day after planting corn (field, pop, sweet) or soybeans. alone or with other
|
||
herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a preplant burndown treatment to control or suppress weeds. F9328-1 EC is effective
|
||
as a burndown treatment for previous crops prior to new plantings. Apply F9328-1 EC at 1.1 - 1.5 fl oz/A (0.0036 -
|
||
0.005 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.014 - 0.019 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl)
|
||
per application. For optimum performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes
|
||
less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control. Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and
|
||
perennial weeds requires a tank mix with burndown herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2, 4-D, or
|
||
dicamba.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
A nonionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at
|
||
0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient or a petroleum or oil seed
|
||
based crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1.5 to 2 % v/v (1.5 to 2.0 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution) or a
|
||
methylated seed oil (MSO). A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100
|
||
gallons) or ammonium sulfate at 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the selected NIS, MSO or COC is allowed.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
DO NOT apply later than 1 day after planting corn (field, pop, sweet) or soybeans.
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 1.5 fl oz/A (0.005 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.019 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per
|
||
application.
|
||
For Corn: DO NOT apply more than 2.2 fl oz/A (0.0074 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.0278 lb al/A carfentrazone-
|
||
ethyl) per year. This includes burndown treatments and all in-season treatments.
|
||
For Soybeans: DO NOT apply more than 1.8 fl oz /A (0.006 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.023 lb ai/A carfentrazone-
|
||
ethyl) per year. This includes burndown treatments and all in-season treatments.
|
||
|
||
|
||
CORN
|
||
(Includes Field Corn, Seed Corn, Popcorn, and Sweet Corn for Processing and Fresh Market)
|
||
|
||
Timing and Method of Application:
|
||
Field corn, seed corn and popcorn
|
||
F9328-1 EC can be applied from preplant through up to 48 inches in height but before tasseling. F9328-1 EC may be
|
||
applied broadcast from preplant through V8 stage or 30 inches, whichever comes first. The spray boom should be
|
||
maintained a minimum of 18 inches above the crop canopy to ensure uniform spray delivery and avoid concentrating
|
||
spray in corn whorls. For corn from 30-48 inches tall, F9328-1 EC should be applied with drop nozzles capable of
|
||
directing the spray to the target weeds and away from the whorl and sensitive crop foliage of the corn to improve weed
|
||
control and reduce potential crop response. Drop nozzles should be aligned between the corn rows and nozzles
|
||
should be at a height that is sufficiently below the corn whorl and developing ear leaves to avoid concentrating spray
|
||
into corn whorls and ear shoots. Failure to follow these guidelines in application has the potential to increase crop
|
||
response.
|
||
|
||
Sweet Corn
|
||
For use in sweet corn apply F9328-1 EC from preplant up through up to 48 inches in height but before tasseling.
|
||
|
||
For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 2 to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3
|
||
inches across. Coverage is essential for good control. Refer to the table below for weeds controlled at labeled rates of
|
||
F9328-1 EC. Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control could result in commercially
|
||
unacceptable weed control. F9328-1 EC may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use in corn to improve
|
||
weed spectrum or general weed control unless restricted under the corn crop section.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
For Field and Popcorn:
|
||
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active
|
||
ingredient. Under dry conditions, the use of a crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1.0% v/v may improve weed control. The
|
||
use of a crop oil concentrate may increase leaf speckling on the treated corn leaves.
|
||
For Sweet Corn:
|
||
Use only NIS at 0.25% v/v having at least 80% active ingredient.
|
||
|
||
To control weeds not listed on this label, F9328-1 EC may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use in
|
||
corn. When tank mixing F9328-1 EC with other products, be sure F9328-1 EC is added to the spray tank water first
|
||
and thoroughly mixed. For specific mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION section.
|
||
|
||
Refer to the other product’s label for restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions, and
|
||
rotational cropping restrictions. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18 inches above the crop.
|
||
Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of the
|
||
corn plant. Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may
|
||
result in higher application rates and possible crop response.
|
||
|
||
|
||
F9328-1 EC Use Rates
|
||
Use F9328-1 EC at 0.65 to 1.3 fl oz/A (0.002 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.008 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl to 0.0044 lb
|
||
ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.016 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per application. Use higher rates when weeds are under
|
||
stress or are larger.
|
||
|
||
Applications shall be made by ground equipment using a minimum finished spray volume of 10 gallons of spray per
|
||
acre or by air at a minimum finished spray volume of 3 gallons of spray per acre.
|
||
|
||
Application Precaution
|
||
The application of F9328-1 EC to corn may result in temporary crop response such as speckling or necrosis of the
|
||
leaves. Yields will not be affected. DO NOT make applications when air temperatures are abnormally cool or humidity
|
||
is high or if the corn foliage is wet from dew, rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
|
||
For additional information regarding potential crop response, refer to the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of the
|
||
F9328-1 EC label.

Special Corn Use Applications
|
||
|
||
Directed Applications
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC with drop nozzles or other sprayers capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and away
|
||
from the whorl of the corn plant. Apply F9328-1 EC up to the maximum of 2.5 fl oz/A (0.0084 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl
|
||
and 0.031 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per year. Rates above 0.65 fl oz/A F9328-1 EC (0.002 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl
|
||
and 0.008 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) will aid in control of larger weeds as listed under “Control of Weeds”. Be aware
|
||
that weeds growing in and under dense canopies may not receive adequate spray coverage necessitating the use of
|
||
higher spray volumes for acceptable control. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants such as non-ionic surfactant (NIS),
|
||
crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO).
|
||
|
||
Hooded Sprayer Applications
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of the crop. Hooded sprayers
|
||
must be designed and operated so as to totally enclose the spray nozzles and tips and spray pattern and prevent any
|
||
spray deposition to the crop being treated.
|
||
|
||
Seed Corn Production
|
||
For seed production fields, apply F9328-1 EC using drop nozzles or other equipment to make a directed spray
|
||
treatment. Avoid directing spray solution into the whorl.
|
||
|
||
Seed corn inbreds have generally shown good tolerance to F9328-1 EC. However, all inbreds have not been tested.
|
||
Broadcast applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of the plant that will increase leaf
|
||
response. To minimize application into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be
|
||
used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
|
||
|
||
Sweet Corn Precaution
|
||
Broadcast applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of the plant that will increase
|
||
leaf response. To minimize application into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed
|
||
sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
COTTON HARVEST AID TREATMENT
|
||
|
||
Harvest Aid Application
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC as a harvest aid to defoliate and desiccate cotton and troublesome weeds that may be present at
|
||
harvest. Apply F9328-1 EC alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton harvest aids.
|
||
|
||
Use a quality spray adjuvant, such as nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) at the labeled rates. Use
|
||
NIS adjuvants during warmer periods with COC being the better choice for applications during cooler periods.
|
||
|
||
Make application when 60 to 70 percent of the bolls are open, or according to the State Agricultural Extension Service
|
||
guidelines in the use area. Only apply if bolls to be harvested have matured. Assure there are no more than 4 nodes
|
||
between the highest 1st positioned cracked boll and the highest 1st positioned harvestable boll.
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC as a broadcast spray at a rate of up to 1.0 fl oz/A (0.0033 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.0126 lb
|
||
ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per application in spray volume sufficient to provide complete coverage of cotton foliage. Use
|
||
a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per acre for aerial application.
|
||
Coverage is essential for good defoliation. Repeat application if necessary to remove remaining foliage or control
|
||
regrowth 6 to 10 days after the first application. DO NOT apply more than 2.0 fl oz/A F9328-1 EC (0.0067 lb ai/A
|
||
fluthiacet-methyl and 0.0253 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per year as a harvest aid. Dense cotton canopy, large plant
|
||
size, and environmental conditions not conducive to complete plant coverage may reduce initial application
|
||
performance and increase the need for a second application.
|
||

SOYBEAN
|
||
Timing and Method of Application
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply to
|
||
soybeans in all tillage systems from prior to planting up to emergence. DO NOT apply F9328-1 EC during a period
|
||
from emergence to V2. After plants have reached V3, applications are allowed up to V10. DO NOT apply when
|
||
conditions favoring drift exist.
|
||
|
||
For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3
|
||
inches across. Use the higher rates when treating more mature weeds or dense vegetative growth. Coverage is
|
||
essential for good control.
|
||
|
||
For additional information on crop response refer to the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of the F9328-1 EC label.
|
||
|
||
Broadcast Postemergence Application
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC at 0.4 fl oz/A (0.0013 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.005 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per
|
||
application for the control of velvetleaf. DO NOT apply F9328-1 EC to soybeans with maturities less than
|
||
Group 2.0. For soybeans of maturity Group 2.1 to 3.4, apply F9328-1 EC at rates up to 0.4 fl oz/A (0.0013 lb ai/A
|
||
fluthiacet-methyl and 0.005 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per application.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
Use NIS only as the adjuvant for this treatment at the rate of 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution).
|
||
|
||
For later maturing soybeans than Group 3.5, apply F9328-1 EC at rates up to 0.65 fl oz/A (0.002 lb ai/A fluthiacet-
|
||
methyl and 0.008 lb ai/A carfentrazone-ethyl) per application. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints NIS
|
||
per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient.
|
||
|
||
Broadcast Application Precaution
|
||
The application of F9328-1 EC to soybeans may result in crop response. Soybeans may show some burn, speckling or
|
||
necrosis of crop leaves. Soybeans quickly outgrow initial herbicide effects and yields are not affected. DO NOT make
|
||
applications during conditions of abnormal cool, high humidity or if foliage is wet from dew, rainfall or irrigation. Users
|
||
should be aware of these potential effects prior to making applications. If the user is not willing to accept these risks,
|
||
applications should not be made.
|
||
|
||
For additional information on crop response, refer to the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of this label.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
F9328-1 EC may be tank mixed with other herbicides to control weeds listed on this label. DO NOT use with
|
||
diphenylether herbicides. Follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions for the products being tank
|
||
mixed.
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing F9328-1 EC with other products, be sure the F9328-1 EC is added into the spray tank water first.
|
||
For specific mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
section. For control of additional broadleaf weeds and grasses, F9328-1 EC may be tank mixed with glyphosate or
|
||
glufosinate products for use on GMO soybeans. Leaf injury can occur when F9328-1 EC is used with certain
|
||
formulations of crop protection products and adjuvants. Refer to the Tank Mixtures and Required Adjuvants sections
|
||
under PRODUCT INFORMATION.

Hooded Sprayer Applications
|
||
Apply F9328-1 EC with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of the crop. Hooded sprayers
|
||
must be designed and operated so as to totally enclose the spray nozzles and tips and spray pattern and prevent any
|
||
spray deposition to the crop being treated.
|
||
Directed Sprayer Application
|
||
Use F9328-1 EC at 0.65 to 1.8 fl oz/A (0.002 lb ai/A. to 0.006 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl and 0.008 lb ai/A to 0.023 lb ai/A
|
||
carfentrazone-ethyl). Applications shall be made by ground equipment using a finished volume of 10 to 20 gallons of
|
||
spray per acre. When soybeans are grown under very dry soil moisture conditions, the use of a high quality sprayable
|
||
liquid nitrogen fertilizer (2 to 4% v/v) or 2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution) used in addition to the nonionic
|
||
surfactant is allowed. Apply as a post-directed treatment with spray directed toward the base of the plant and avoid
|
||
contact with soybean foliage. The use of spray shields may reduce spray contact with soybean foliage. F9328-1 EC
|
||
contact with soybean foliage can result in significant crop response.
|
||
|
||
