Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 1 70.240(d)(4-6), the handler PPE requirements may be 
reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE 
specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have s uch PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, 
such as a spill or equipment break-down.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Users 
should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside . Then wash thoroughly and put on clean 
clothing. Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before 
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water 
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Groundwater Advisory
This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater un der certain conditions as a result of label use. This product 
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 such as 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 ma tter content. Other factors which can affects the movement of 
windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailin g 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 the 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
FINESSE herbicide is specified for use on land primarily dedicated to the long-term production of wheat, barley, or triticale.
FINESSE herbicide is a dry-flowable granule that controls weeds in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale and fallow.
FINESSE herbicide is mixed in water or may be slurried in water t hen added directly into liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions and 
applied as a uniform broadcast spray. Use a surfactant in the spray mix unless otherwise specified on this label. 
FINESSE herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze.
FINESSE herbicide controls weeds by both preemergence and postem ergence activity. For best preemergence results, apply 
FINESSE herbicide before weed seeds germinate. Use sprinkler irrigation or allow rainfall to move FINESSE herbicide 2" to 3" 
deep into the soil profile.
For best postemergence results, apply FINESSE herbicide to young , actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the 
weed spectrum and size of weeds at the time of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
• weed spectrum and infestation density
• weed size at application
• environmental conditions at and following treatment
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
FINESSE herbicide is absorbed through the roots and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibi ting the growth of susceptible weeds. For 
preplant and preemergence weed control, rainfall is needed to move FINESSE herbicide into the soil. Weeds will generally not 
emerge from preplant and preemergence applications. In some cas es, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge a few days 
after application, but growth then ceases and leaves become chl orotic three to five days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue
and growing point will follow in some species, while others wil l remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. Postemergence 
weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs within 6 hours after application.
One to three weeks after postemer gence application to weeds, le aves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic, and the growing 
point subsequently dies. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, 
expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. Death of leaf tiss ue will follow in some species, while others will remain green 
but stunted and noncompetitive. Postemergence weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs within 6 hours after application.

4
FINESSE herbicide provides the best control of weeds in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds. Weed control 
in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not provide sa tisfactory control. However, a crop canopy that is too dense at
application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
The herbicidal action of FINESSE herbicide may be less effectiv e on weeds stressed from adverse environmental conditions 
(including extreme temperatures or moisture, drought stress), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices that increase weed 
stress. In these cases, tank mix FINESSE herbicide with other registered herbicides (including 2,4-D, or MCPA) to aid in control.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all pr oducts 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 follo w 
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary state ments of each product in the tank mixture. If the instructions o n
the tank mix partner label conflicts with this FINESSE herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with FINESSE herbicide.
RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoff may result.
• Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixing/loading station.
• Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate other cropland.
• Do not use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache counties of Colorado.
• Do notuse lessthan0.2oz per acreof FINESSE 
herbicide preplant, preemergence or
postemergence

• Wherever FINESSE herbicide is used on land previously treated with Glean® XP herbicide, Ally® XP herbicide, Ally® Extra 
SG herbicide (with Totalsol® soluble granules), Amber® Custom-Pak™ herbicide or other longer residual herbicides with the
same mode of action,read the rotational guidelines on both labels and followthe one with the longest interval stated for your situation
before choosing to rotate to crops other than wheat or barley.
• To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion,do notapply to powdery, dry, or light sandy soils until they
have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage or other cultural practices. Injury to adjacent crops may result when
treated soil is blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal grains.
• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Do not apply, drain, or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in
locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with theirroots.
- Do notuse on lawns, walks, driveways, or tennis courts.
• For all applications with products containing these active ingr edients do not exceed 0.0625 oz ai/A (Lb. ai/A 0.0039) of 
metsulfuron methyl and 0.37 oz ai/A (Lb. ai/A 0.0231) of chlorsulfuron in a year.
PRECAUTIONS
• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas.
- Carefully observe sprayer cleanup instructions, both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may damage 
crops other than wheat or barley.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
FINESSE herbicide, which contains the active ingredients chlors ulfuron and metsulfuron methyl is a group 2 herbicide based on
the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science So ciety of America. Proactively implementing diversified weed 
control strategies to minimize se lection for weed populations re sistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversi fied 
weed management program may include the use of multiple herbici des with different sites of action and overlapping weed 
spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultur al 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 FINESSE herbicide, for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct we ed 
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 ag ent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to these MOAs 
have been found in your region. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple si tes of action. Products 
with multiple active ingredients are intended to broaden the sp ectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be 
controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbic i d e h a v i n g a s i t e o f a c t i o n o t h e r t h a n G r o u p 2 a n d / o r u s e 
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 h erbicide 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 2 herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of FINESSE 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, such as mech anical 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 Manageme nt (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, populati on monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooper ative extension service, professional consultants or other 
qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in yo ur 
area.
CEREALS APPLICATIONS
Precautions:
• Wheat, barley, and triticale varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC advises 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 FINESSE herbicide to a small area.
• Temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur if FINESSE herbicide is applied when the crop is stressed by severe 
weather conditions (including heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures), disease 
or insect damage, low fertility, applications to coarse soils, or when applied in combination with surfactant and high rates of liquid
nitrogen fertilizer solutions.

6
PREPLANT AND PREEMERGENCE
FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other products registered for preplant/preemergence use in wheat including products 
with the active ingredient glyphosate. In the case of tank mixes with other herbicides, i t is the pesticide user’s responsibility to 
ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. R ead 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 conflict with this 
FINESSE herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with FINESSE herbicide.
Restrictions: 
• Do not apply FINESSE herbicide preplant or preemergence on durum or Wampum wheat, barley, or triticale.
• Do not apply preemergence or preplant incorporated to late fall planti ngs when cold and/or dry weather can cause 
delayed seedling emergence and/or stress to seedling plants. Under these conditions, wait until crop has emerged and 
is showing good vigor before making a postemergence treatment.
• Do notapplyFINESSE herbicide preemergence on cereals if the seed has germinated and has started to emerge above the soil
surface.
• Do notuse FINESSE herbicide preemergence on cereals that have been planted into dry soil (“dusted in”) or on very coarse,
uneven seedbeds

POSTEMERGENCE
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with other products registered for postemergence use in wheat and barley.
FINESSE herbicide cannot be used within 60 days of crop emergence if an organophosphate insecticide was used as an in-furrow 
treatment, or crop injury may result.
In areas where late fall or winter cold weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe (such as the Pacific Northwest a nd 
Northern plains), to avoid crop injury due to cold weather, do not make applications during the 1 to 4-leaf stage of wheat, barley , or 
triticale. The combined effects of herbicide stress plus cold w eather stress can result in greater crop injury than either str ess factor
alone.

Additional information may be available in a metribuzin supplemental label for winter wheat, barley, and fallow.
Allow for adequate rainfall (1/2 to 1") to move FINESSE herbicid e and metribuzin into the weed root zone before weeds 
germinate and develop an established root system. Lack of adequ ate rainfall following application will result in reduced 
performance.
To avoid the risk of cold weather-related crop injury and lack of performance, apply metribuzin before winter dormancy 
of the crop and grassy weeds. Excessive rainfall immediately af ter application may result in crop injury. Do not tank mix 
FINESSE herbicide plus metribuzin with any other pesticide other than surfactants advised on either the FINESSE 
herbicide or metribuzin labels. Apply only to metribuzin-approve d varieties, see metribuzin label for listing of sensitive 
wheat and barley varieties.
Preemergence/Sequential Applications
Apply FINESSE herbicide at 0.5 oz per acre 
preemergence after planting winter wheat but before 
wheat emerges. A sequential application of metribuzin 
may be applied at labeled rates in the fall once the wheat 
has reached the 4 to 5-leaf stage of growth and the 
annual grassy weeds are in the 1 to 3-leaf stage of 
growth. Refer to the product containing the active 
ingredient metribuzin for rates and specific use

TANK MIXTURES
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with other registered herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, or liquid fertilizer. It is 
the pesticide user’s 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 precautionar y statements of each product in the tank mixture. If the 
instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this F INESSE herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with 
FINESSE herbicide.
Since tank-mix partners can interfere with FINESSE herbicide dispersion in the spray solution, it is advised that FINESSE 
herbicide be slurried in a separate container before adding it t o the tank mix. FINESSE herbicide must be in suspension 
in the spray tank before adding companion products.
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
FINESSE herbicide can be used as a tank-mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides (ester formulations provide best 
results) after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 0.2 to 0.4 oz of FINESSE 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 qt per 100 gal of spray solution; 
however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Do not add a surfactant when FINESSE herbicide
plus 2,4-D or MCPA is applied with liquid fertilizer.
Apply FINESSE herbicide plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf stage bu t before boot stage. Apply FINESSE herbicide plus 
2,4-D after tillering but before boot stage (refer to the appro priate 2,4-D manufacturer’s label). Applying a tank mixture 
of FINESSE herbicide, 2,4-D, or MCPA and liquid fertilizer when temperatures are below freezing or when the crop is 
stressed from cold weather just prior to winter dormancy can result in foliar burn and/or crop injury.
With Dicamba 
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with products containing the active ingredien t dicamba (including Banvel 
herbicide) at labeled rates. Use higher rates when weed infesta tion is heavy. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the 
mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gal of spray solution (0.125 t o 0.25% v/v); however, adding nonionic surfactant may 
increase the potential for crop injury.
With Diuron 
RATE FINESSE 
herbicide Active Ingredient Equivalent
In areas where annual bluegrass, annual ryegrass, corn 
gromwell, green foxtail (pigeongrass) and wild 
buckwheat are the main weed problems, apply 
Karmex DF herbicide at labeled rates plus 0.3 to 0.4 
o z p e r a c r e F I N E S S E herbicide preemergence. For 
best results between 1/2" and 1" of rainfall is needed 
within 1 to 2 weeks after application. Follow all 
restrictions and use instructions on the diuron labels.
For summer fallow (CO, KS, NE, NM, OK, SD, TX, 
WY), apply Karmex DF herbicide or Direx 4L 
herbicide at labeled rates ( both products contain the 
active ingredient diuron) to wheat stubble or fallow 
in a tank mix with FINESSE herbicide at 0.2 to 0.3 
ounce per acre. Add a Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) at 
1 to 2 % v/v or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25 to 
0.5 % v/v. Glyphosate products plus AMS may also 
be added as needed. When using glyphosate products 
that contain a built-in adjuvant system, add a NIS at 
0.25% v/v. Allow at least 90 days after application 
before planting winter wheat. Refer to the tank mix 
partners for rates and use instructions.

With fluroxypyr 
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with fluroxypyr containing h erbicides for improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall) 
and other broadleaf weeds at labeled rates. 2,4-D and MCP herbic ides may be tank mixed with FINESSE herbicide plus 
fluroxypyr.
With Other Broadleaf Control Products
For improved control of broadleaf weeds, FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides registered on cereals 
including Widematch herbicide, Aim® EC herbicide, Huskie® herbicide or Talinor™ herbicide.

16
With Grass Control Products
For improved control of grass weeds, FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other grass control herbicides registered 
on cereals including Axial® XL herbicide, Discover® NG herbicide, Everest® 3.0 herbicide or PowerFlex® herbicide.
Weed control antagonism generally does not occur when tank mixi ng herbicides. However, 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 FINESSE herbicide
and the grass product to a small area.
With Insecticides
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with insecticides registered for use on wheat, barley, and fallow. However, under 
certain conditions (drought or cold stress while crop is in the 2- to 4-leaf stage), tank mixtures or sequential treatments of 
FINESSE herbicide and organophosphate insecticides may produce t emporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop 
injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when there are wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or
soon after treatment. Read and follow directions on companion p roduct labels and limit first use to a small area. If no 
symptoms of crop injury appear, larger acreage can be treated.
Restrictions:
x Do not use FINESSE herbicide plus malathion, as crop injury may result.
x Do not apply FINESSE herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where a n organophosphate insecticide has 
been applied as an in-furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
x In the Pacific Northwest, do not use FINESSE herbicide with products containing the active ingredient 
chlorpyrifos, as crop injury may result.
With Fungicides
FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with other fungicides whene ver the proper timing for herbicide and fungicide 
treatments coincide.
With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solution
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier i n place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before 
mixing FINESSE herbicide in fertilizer solution. If 2,4-D or MC PA is included with FINESSE herbicide and fertilizer 
mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (See manufacturer’s label).
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray s olution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the 
addition of surfactant is necessary. When using high rates of l iquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding 
surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. Consult local specifications for details on surfactant addition.
Restrictions:
x Do not add surfactant when using FINESSE herbicide in tank mix with 2, 4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid 
nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
x Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
x Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant.
GRAZING
There are no grazing restrictions on FINESSE herbicide.
CROP ROTATION
Before using FINESSE herbicide, carefully consider your crop ro tation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do 
not treat all your wheat, barley, or fallow acres at the same time.
MINIMUM ROTATION INTERVALS
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of FINESSE herbicide applied. FINESSE herbicide
breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, soil temperature, soil microorganisms, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high 
soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase FINESSE herbi cide breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil 
temperature, and low soil moisture slow FINESSE herbicide breakdown.
Of these three factors, only soil pH remains relatively constan t. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, 
can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, monitor soil temperatures and soil moisture 
regularly when considerin g rotating to other crops.
* The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last FINESSE herbicide application to the anticipated 
date of the next planting.

17
SOIL pH LIMITATIONS
FINESSE herbicide may not be used on fields having a soil pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend 
crop rotation intervals beyond those specified in the rotation table, and under certain conditions, could injure wheat or 
barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremel y sensitive to low concentrations of FINESSE 
herbicide.
FINESSE herbicide may not be used on soils with a pH below 5.0, a s additional crop stress from low pH and aluminum 
toxicity may result in crop injury.
Checking Soil pH
Before using FINESSE herbicide, determine the soil pH of the field. To obtain a representative pH value, take several 
samples from different areas of the field between 0" and 4" dee p and analyze them separately. Consult local extension 
publications for additional information on advised soil sampling procedures.
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.
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 FINESSE 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 state agricultural extension service for information detailing the field
bioassay procedure.

**Under certain conditions (such as drought, prolonged cold weather, pH variability in the fields) temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur
to sulfonylurea tolerant (STS®) soybeans planted after FINESSE herbicide applications.
***Where a CATASTROPHIC CROP LOSS has occurred after a FINESSE herbicide application due to a natural disaster (such as freezing weather, hail 
damage, insect damage, disease damage), grain sorghum can be pl anted at 4 months where the soil pH is 7.3 to 7.5 or sulfonylur ea tolerant (STS®)
soybeans where the soil pH is 7.5 to 7.9. These crops will have some level of temporary discoloration and/or crop injury if planted at this reduced interval
after FINESSE herbicide application. This potential damage and yield loss is accepted by the grower due to the critical need t o get a crop planted after 
this emergency. Growers not willing to accept this level of potential early season crop injury and yield loss need to follow the standard rotational guidelines 
in the table above. In some cases, this injury may be severe and may affect the crop growth, development, and yield. The severity of the injury increases
with higher pH levels, higher applied FINESSE herbicide rate, drier soil conditions after FINESSE herbicide application and prior to planting the rotational 
crop, and the shorter the rotational interval.
†These intervals may also be used for irrigated land. These intervals do not apply to crops grown for seed.
‡Rotation intervals are based on normal precipitation/irrigation amounts. If in a water deficit such as a drought, extend rotation intervals until cumulative
rainfall/irrigation reaches the normal range.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
FINESSE herbicide is measured using the FINESSE herbicide volume tric measuring cylinder. The degree of accuracy of this 
cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water (If using liquid nitroge n fertilizer solution in place of water, see Tank Mixtures sect ions 
for additional details).
2. While agitating, add the required amount of FINESSE herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the FINESSE herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the FINESSE herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitatio n and continue filling tank with water. Mix FINESSE 
herbicide thoroughly 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 FINESSE herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If FINESSE herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the FINESSE herbicide in clean water
prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the FINESSE herbicide.
Do not use FINESSE herbicide with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to below 3.0.
APPLICATION METHOD
Ground Application
To obtain optimumspraydistribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fanor low-volume flood nozzles.
When using flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 3 GP A. When using flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 
GPA, flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent), and a pressure of at least 30 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,do notuse less than 20 GPA and overlap nozzles 100%. Use screens that are 50-meshor larger.
Aerial Application
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 1 to 5 GPA. Use at least 
3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
When applying FINESSE herbicide by air in areas near sensitive crops, use solid-stream nozzles oriented straight back.
Chemigation
Do not apply FINESSE herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
At the End of the Day
When multiple loads of FINESSE herbicide are applied, it is advi sed 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 be flushed. This will prevent the buildup of 
dried pesticide deposits from accumulating in the application equipment.
After Spraying FINESSE herbicide and before Spraying Crops Other Than Wheat Barley, Triticale, or Fall ow
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixin g and spray equipment immediately following 
applicationsof FINESSE herbicideasfollows:
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 at least 3% active ingredient) for every 100 gal of 
water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning sol ution. 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 ammonia* and water.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) advised on this label. Do not 
exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. I f 
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 cleaner which dissolves and removes sulfonylurea herbicide residues 
can be used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions.

23
Notes:
1. Caution: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed 
area.
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal of any 
caked deposits.
3. When FINESSE herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, examine all required cleanout procedures and follow the most 
rigorous procedure.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, follow all preapplicati on cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products as per 
the individual labels.
5.Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequ ently being switched between applications of FINESSE 
herbicide and applications of other pesticides to FINESSE herbic ide -sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is 
advised that a sprayer be dedicated to FINESSE herbicide to further reduce the chance of crop injury.

24
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height advised by the manufacturer, but n o more than 3 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT .
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION S.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large drople ts. 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 ar e 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 advised for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the inten ded application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce 
drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle ma nufacturers directions for sett ing 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.

25
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 APPL ICATIONS 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 drif t potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and 
carefully observe cautionary statements and all other informati on 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).
