Groundwater Advisory
Metsulfuron methyl is known to leach through soil into groun dwater under certain conditions as a result of label use.
Metsulfuron methyl may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water
via runoff for several weeks or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by
avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have
a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affect the
movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope,
rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in
off-site movement.
Non-target Organism Advisory
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect th e forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing
spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management
section of this label.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
ALLY XP herbicide is registered for use on land primarily dedicated to the production of wheat, barley, triticale
and fallow.
ALLY XP herbicide is registered for use on wheat, barley, triticale and fallow in most states. Check with your
state extension or Department of Agriculture before use, to be certain ALLY XP herbicide is registered in your
state. ALLY XP herbicide is not registered for use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, RioGrande, and Saquache
counties of Colorado.
ALLY XP herbicide is a dry-flowable granule that controls weeds in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale and
fallow. ALLY XP herbicide is mixed in water or can be pre-slurried in water and added to liquid nitrogen carrier
solutions and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. Use a surfactant in the spray mix unless otherwise specified
on this label. ALLY XP herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and doesnotfreeze.
ALLY XP herbicide controls weeds by postemergence activity. For best results, apply ALLY XP herbicide to
young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed spectrum and size of weeds at application.
The degree and duration of control may depend on the following factors:
• weed spectrumand infestationintensity
• weed size at application
• environmental conditionat and followingtreatment
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
ALLY XP herbicide is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. Leaves of
susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing point subsequently dies.
Application of ALLY XP herbicide provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive
weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a crop canopy
that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
ALLY XP herbicide may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (including extreme
temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultu ral practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop
may be sensitive to treatment with ALLY XP herbicide under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of such varieties
may injure crops.
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds; in cold, dry conditions,
expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible
to ALLY XP herbicide.
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product
in the tank mixture. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflicts with this ALLY XP herbicide label,
do not use in a tank mixture with ALLY XP herbicide.
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station.
• Do not store pesticides near well sites.
• Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots
extend, or in locations where the product may be washed or moved into contact with their roots, as injury or loss of
desirable trees or other plants may result.
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, golf courses, athletic fields, commercial sod operations, or other
high-maintenance, fine turfgrass areas.
• Do not use on grasses grown for seed.
• Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate crops other than wheat and barley.
• Do not apply to frozen ground as surface runoff may occur.
• Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
• Do not apply to wheat, barley or triticale undersown with legumes, as injury to the forage may result.
4
PRECAUTIONS
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the wellsite.
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
• Assure accurate measurement of pesticides by all operation employees.
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates/uses.
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
• When triple rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
• Wheat and barley varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC 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 of ALLY XP herbicide to a small area.
• Under certain conditions (including: heavy rainfall, water-saturated soil, prolonged cold weather, wide fluctuations in
day/night temperatures pre or post application, severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, disease, or insect damage)
temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Do
not apply Ally XP herbicide to wheat or barley under these conditions if this crop response is unacceptable
• The combined treatment effects of ALLY XP herbicide postemergence preceded by preemergence wild oat herbicides may
cause crop injury to spring wheat when crop stress (soil crusting, planting too deep, prolonged cold weather, or drought)
causes poor seedling vigor.
• In the Pacific Northwest, to prevent cold weather-related crop injury, avoid making applications during winter months
when weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe.
• To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion, do not apply to powdery dry or light sandy soils
until they have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage, or other cultural practices. Injury to immediately
adjacent crops may occur when treated soil is blown onto l and used to produce crops other than cereal grains or
pasture/rangeland.
• For ground applications applied to weeds when dry, dusty field conditions exist, control of weeds in wheel track areas may
be reduced. The addition of 2,4-D or MCPA may improve weed control under these conditions.
• Preplant or preemergence applications of 2,4-D or herbicides containing 2,4-D made within 2 weeks of planting spring
cereals may cause crop injury when used in conjunction with early postemergence applications of ALLY XP herbicide.
For increased crop safety, delay ALLY XP herbicide treatment until crop tillering has begun.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
ALLY XP herbicide, which contains the active ingredient Metsulfuron methyl is a group 2 herbicide based on the mode of
action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Proactively implemen ting 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 th e successful implementation of a weed resistance management
program.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users must follow as many of the following herbicide
resistance management practices as is practical:
•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 ALLY XP herbicide 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 extensio n 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 2 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:
5
•Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by th e herbicide at the dose applie d, 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.
•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 2 herbicides.
•Avoid making more than two applications of ALLY XP herbicide and any other Group 2 herbicides within a single
growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
difficult-to- control weeds.
•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.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic
practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection
methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally
determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified
authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.

SPECIFIC WEED INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is very important.
Blue Mustard, Flixweed, and Tansymustard: For best results, apply ALLY XP herbicide tank mixtures with 2,4-D or
MCPA postemergence to mustards, but before bloom.
Canada Thistle and Sowthistle: Apply either ALLY XP herbicide plus surfactant or ALLY XP herbicide plus 2,4-D or
MCPA in the spring after the majority of thistles have emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6" elongating stems) and
actively growing. The application will inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with the crop.
Corn Gromwell and Prostrate Knotweed: Apply ALLY XP herbicide plus surfactant when weeds are actively growing,
are no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-D or MCPA with ALLY
XP herbicide can improve results.
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur. For best
results, apply ALLY XP herbicide in a tank mix with dicamba and 2,4-D, or bromoxynil and 2,4-D containing products.
ALLY XP herbicide must be applied in the spring when kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2"
across and are actively growing (refer to the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Sunflower (common/volunteer):Apply either ALLY XP herbicide plus surfactant or ALLY XP herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA
after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall and are actively growing. Use spray volumes of at least 3 gallons by
air or 5 gallons byground.
Wild Buckwheat:For best results, apply ALLY XP herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA when plants have no more than 3 true leaves
(not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay treatment until environmental conditions favor active weed
growth.

With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
ALLY XP herbicide can be used as a tank-mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA (ester formulations provide best results) herbicides
after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 0.1 ounce (0.0038 Lb. ai/A) of ALLY XP herbicide per acre; add 2,4-D or MCPA
herbicides to the tank at labeled rates. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution;
however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Apply ALLY XP herbicide plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf
stage but before boot (with durum varieties do not apply before tillering). Apply ALLY XP herbicide plus 2,4-D at labeled rates,
after tillering, but before boot.

For bestresults,applyALLY XP herbicide at 0.1 ounce per acre (0.0038 Lb. ai/A) with products containing the active ingredient
dicamba. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution; however, adding surfactant may
increase the potential for crop injury.Refer to the tank mix partner label for rates and use instructions.
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) and Dicamba
ALLY XP herbicide may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba and 2,4-D. Observe all applicable directions,
restrictions and precautions on tank mix partner labels.
Make applications at 0.1 ounce (0.0038 Lb. ai/A) of ALLY XP herbicide + products containing the active ingredient dicamba +
products containing the active 2,4-D ester or amine at labeled rates per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Add
1-2 pintsof surfactant to the 3 way mixture, where necessary, as deemed bylocalrecommendations. Use of additional surfactantmay
not be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester phenoxy formulations.Refer to the tank mix partner labels for rates and
further use instructions.
Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In spring wheat (including
durum wheat) apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 5-leaf stage.
Do not apply this 3-way mixture at high rates more than once a year or more than twice per year at the low rates.

With grass control products
Tank mixtures of ALLY XP herbicide and grass control products may result in poor grass control. FMC advises that you first
consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or FMC representative as to the
potential for antagonism before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of ALLY XP herbicide and
the grass product to a small area.
Restrictions:
x Do not tank mix ALLY XP herbicide with “Hoelon” 3EC, as grass control may be reduced.

with Everest herbicides for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
With Insecticides and Fungicides
ALLY XP herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially wi th insecticides and fungicides registered for use on cereal
grains. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2 to 4 leaf stage), tank mixes or
sequential applications of ALLY XP herbicide with organophosphate insecticides may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in
severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injuryis greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to
or soon after application. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
Restrictions:
x Do not apply ALLY XP herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been
applied as an in-furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
x Do not use ALLY XP herbicide plus Malathion, as crop injury will result.
10
With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing ALLY
XP herbicide in fertilizer solution. ALLY XP herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions
(e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the ALLY XP herbicide is added. Use of this mixture may result in
temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the addition of
surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 0.5 pt to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 to 0.25% v/v) based on local
recommendations.
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spraysolution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. Consult
your agriculturaldealer, consultant, fieldman, orFMCrepresentative for a specific recommendationbefore adding an adjuvant to
these tank mixtures.
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with ALLY XP herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (See
manufacturers label).
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of straight or dilute nitrogen
fertilizercarriersolutionswherecoldtemperaturesor widelyfluctuatingday/nighttemperaturesexist. Inthese areasconsult your
agriculturaldealer,consultant, fieldadvisor,orFMCrepresent ative for a specificrecommendationbeforeusingnitrogen fertilizer
carrier solutions. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
Restrictions:
x Do not add surfactant when using ALLY XP herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen
fertilizersolutions.
x Do notuse low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
x Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.

12
Tank Mixtures in Harvest Aid
A tank mix of ALLY XP herbicide plus 2,4-D and surfactant, or glyphosate, will typically aid in dry down of many broadleaved
weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest. Make postemergence application to actively growing weeds after the crop is in the hard
dough stage. If weeds are not dry within 10 days after application, delay harvest until weeds are dry.
See weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label.
With 2,4-D
Use 0.1 ounce (0.0038 Lb. ai/A) ALLY XP herbicide plus 0.25 to 0.5 pound active ingredient 2,4-D per acre on moderate
weed infestations. Higher rates of 2,4-D may be used on large weeds if permitted by the 2,4-D brand labeling. Include 1
to 2 quarts surfactant per 100 gallons spray solution.
In addition to the weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label, the 2,4-D combination will also dry down common
cocklebur, marestail, puncturevine and common and wild sunflower. In areas where 2,4-D use is restricted, apply ALLY
XP herbicide with surfactant only; however, this treatment may be less effective.
With Glyphosate
Use 0.1 ounce (0.0038 Lb. ai/A) ALLY XP herbicide plus the locally directed rate of glyphosate. ALLY XP herbicide
requires the use of an adjuvant for optimum activity. Consult the glyphosate label or local directions for the amount of
adjuvant to include.

SURFACTANTS
Spray Adjuvants
Applications of ALLY XP herbicide must include either a nonionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate, except for grain sorghum.
In addition, anammonium nitrogen fertilizer maybe used. Consultlocal FMCfact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies
prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with ALLY XP herbicide select adjuvants authorized for
use withbothproducts.ProductsmustcontainonlyEPA-exemptingredients.
Antifoaming agents maybe needed. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or FMC representative for a listing of advised surfactants.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
• Apply 0.06 to 0.50% v/v (0.5 to 4 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) - See Tank Mixtures section for additional information.
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Exceptions: On all spring wheat and spring or winter barley use 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons.
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.
• Oil adjuvantsmust containat least80% highquality, petroleum(mineral)or modified vegetableseedoil withat least15% surfactant
emulsifiers.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 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 notuse liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
14
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 theyprovide the same functionalityand have been
evaluatedandapprovedbyFMCproductmanagement.
Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.
GROUND APPLICATION
To obtain optimumspraydistribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
For flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 gallons per acre (GPA), flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or equivalent),
and a pressure of at least 30 pounds per square inch (psi). For 40" nozzle spacings, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacings, use
at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
With “Raindrop RA” nozzles, use at least 30 GPA and ensure that nozzle spray patterns overlap 100%.
For flat-fan nozzles, use at least3 GPA for applications to wheat or barley. Use 50-mesh screens or larger.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage.
Wheat, Barley, Triticale and Fallow - use 1 to 5 GPA. Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
When applying ALLY XP herbicide by air in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid stream nozzles oriented straight back.
Adjust the swath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops downwind and/or use ground equipment to treat the border
edge of fields. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
ALLY XP herbicide is measured using the ALLY XP herbicide volumetric measuring cylinder. The degree of accuracy of this
cylinder variesby +/- 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
WITH LIQUID NITROGEN SOLUTION FERTILIZER
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing
ALLY XP herbicide in fertilizer solution.
ALLY XP herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure
that the agitator is running while the ALLY XP herbicide is added. Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing
and stunting. If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume),
the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 0.25 pt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.03% v/v ).
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury.
Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or FMC representative for a specific recommendation before adding
an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with ALLY XP herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible
(See manufacturers label). Do not add surfactant when using ALLY XP herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D ester and liquid
nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of straight or dilute nitrogen
fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult
your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for a specific recommendation before using nitrogen
fertilizer carrier solutions.
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response. Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as
a substitute for a surfactant.
Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
15
CROP ROTATION
Minimum Rotational Intervals
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of ALLY XP herbicide applied. ALLY XP herbicide
breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high
soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase ALLY XP herbicide breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil temperature,
and low soil moisture slow ALLY XP herbicidebreakdown.
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, can vary
significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil temperatures and soil moisture must be monitored regularly
whenconsideringcroprotations.
* The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting.
Soil pH Limitations
Do notuse ALLY XP herbicide on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend crop rotation intervals
beyond normal. Under certain conditions, ALLY XP herbicide could remain in the soil for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and
barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremelysensitive to low concentrations of ALLY XP herbicide.
Checking Soil pH
Before using ALLY XP herbicide, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain a representative pH value for the
test area, take several 0” to 4” samples from different areas of the field and analyze them separately. Consult local extension
publications for additionalinformationonadvised soilsamplingprocedures.
BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop not listed (See the Rotation Intervals table), or if the soil pH
is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not specified in the table, or if the minimum cumulative precipitation
has not occurred since application.
Field Bioassay
To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or crops you plan to grow the following year in fields previously
treated with ALLY XP herbicide. Crop response to the bioassay will indicate whether or not to rotate to the crop(s) grown in
the test strips.
If a field bioassay is planned, check with your local Agricult ural dealer or FMC representative for information detailing the
field bioassay procedure.
Before using ALLY XP herbicide, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do not treat all of
your wheat, barley, triticale or fallow acres at the same time.

Rotation Intervals for Crops, and/or Soil pH Not Listed Above:
• Refer to the EPA-registered package label for the appropriate rotational crop interval. To rotate to a major field crop at
an interval shorter than specified, a field bioassay must be successfully completed for that crop. Also, a field bioassay
must be successfully completed before rotation to any minor crops (as determined by the USDA criteria). See section
on Field Bioassay on the ALLY XP herbicide EPA-registered package label for further information.
Restrictions:
• When ALLY XP herbicide is applied at 0.033 ounces/acre, do not use liquid fertilizer in addition to, or as a substitute
for, a surfactant.
• Do not use on soils with pH greater than 7.9 (for example, highly calcareous soils) if the following rotated crop is
sensitive to ALLY XP herbicide. Extended soil residual activity could adversely affect minimum rotation intervals for
all crops.
21
GRAZING/HAYING
There are no grazing restrictions on ALLY XP herbicide.
Treated vegetation may be cut for forage or hay. Coveralls, shoes plus socks, must be worn if cutting within 4 hours of
treatment
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 0.25 to 0.33 full of water (If using liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in place of water, see Tank Mixtures
sectionsforadditionaldetails).
2. While agitating, add the required amount of ALLY XP herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the ALLY XP herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the ALLY XP herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. ALLY XP
herbicide must be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary volume of nonionic surfactant. Always add
surfactant last.
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
7. Apply ALLY XP herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If ALLY XP herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the ALLY XP herbicide in
clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the
ALLY XP herbicide.
Do not use ALLY XP herbicide with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to below 3.0.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturers recommendations for additional information on GPA,
pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc.
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and delivery system that
will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to obtain better
coverage when the crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning,
slowing, or stopping to avoid crop injury.
Do notmake applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might cause sprayto drift
onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift, refer to theSpray Drift Managementsection of the label.
Continuous agitation is required to keep ALLY XP herbicide in suspension.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
Spray equipment must be cleaned before ALLY XP herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on
the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying
ALLY XP herbicide section of this label.
At the End of the Day
When multiple loads of ALLY XP herbicide are applied, it is recommended that at the end of each day of spraying, the
interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent
the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in the application equipment.
After Spraying ALLY XP herbicide and Before Spraying Crops Other Than Wheat,
Barley, Triticale, Grain Sorghum or Fallow
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
following applications of ALLY XP herbicide as follows:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any
visible deposits.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water.
Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank.
Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles
again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
4. R epeat step 2.
22
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solut ion may be applied back to the crop(s) specified on this
label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate
disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal
facility.
* Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or a FMC-approved cleaner can be used in the
cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your agricultural dealer,
applicator, or FMC representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
Notes:
1. Attention: Do notuse chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will form.Do notclean equipment in an enclosed
area. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal
of anycakeddeposits.
2. When ALLY XP herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticid es, examine all required cleanout procedures and follow
the most rigorous procedure.
3. In addition to this cleanout procedure, follow all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products as per the
individual labels.
4. Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between applications of ALLY XP
herbicide and applications of other pesticides to ALLY XP herbicide-sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is
advised that a sprayer be dedicated to ALLY XP herbicide to further reduce the chance of crop injury.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height advised 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 boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
• 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.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
• 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.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplet s. 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 spra y volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher
flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure advised 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 directions for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets,
orient nozzles 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 must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a
height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields
are 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.
BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for 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 additives 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).
