Dear Mr. Bockrath:
|
||
|
||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
|
||
(FIFRA), as amended, has completed reviewing all of the information submitted with your
|
||
application to support the Registration Review of the above referenced product in connection
|
||
with the Sulfonylurea (SU) Herbicides Interim Decision, and has concluded that your submission
|
||
is acceptable. The agency also completed review of your amended label referred to above,
|
||
submitted in connection with registration under FIFRA, as amended, and has determined the
|
||

|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide
|
||
Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product
|
||
would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40
|
||
CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition,
|
||
regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the
|
||
website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process.
|
||
Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false
|
||
or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration,
|
||
the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||
A copy of your label stamped “Accepted” is enclosed. Products shipped after 12 months from the
|
||

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove
|
||
clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 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 cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
Do not apply where/when conditions favor runoff.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical
|
||
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 days 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 thifensulfuron methyl 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.
|
||
PESTICIDE HANDLING
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• 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 over-filling of spray tank.
|
||
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field/grove or mixing/loading station.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe,
|
||
consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. HARMONY® SG must be used only in accordance
|
||
with instructions on this label or in separately published FMC instructions.
|
||
FMC will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specified
|
||
by FMC.
|
||
HARMONY® SG is for use on soybeans, corn, cereals, pre- plant burndown, post-harvest burndown, and fallow in
|
||
most states. Check with your state extension service or Department of Agriculture before use to be certain
|
||
HARMONY® SG is registered in your state
|
||
|
||

|
||
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 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.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops, 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 all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue
|
||
may damage crops other than wheat, barley, oats, triticale, corn or soybeans.
|
||
For ground applications applied when dry, dusty field conditions exist, control of weeds in wheel track areas may be
|
||
reduced.
|
||
Soybeans, corn, safflower, and cereal 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 HARMONY® SG to a small area.
|
||
HARMONY® SG should not be applied to crops that are stressed by severe weather conditions, drought (including
|
||
low levels of subsoil moisture), low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury may
|
||
result. Risk of injury is greatest to cereals when the crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Severe winter stress, drought,
|
||
disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
|
||
For cereals under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather (daily high temperature less than
|
||
50 Deg. F.), or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after HARMONY® SG application,
|
||
temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix
|
||
HARMONY® SG with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best– see the "TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS"
|
||
section of this label) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
Best results are obtained when HARMONY® SG is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate will
|
||
depend on weed spectrum and size of weed at time of application. The degree of control and duration of effect are
|
||
dependent on rate used, sensitivity and size of target weed and environmental conditions at the time of and following
|
||
application.
|
||
HARMONY® SG stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly. However, typical symptoms of dying weeds
|
||
(discoloration) may not be noticeable for 1-3 weeks after application (2-5 weeks for wild garlic) depending on the
|
||
environmental conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity
|
||
of HARMONY® SG, while cold, dry conditions delay the activity. Weeds hardened-off by cold weather or drought
|
||
stress will be less susceptible.
|
||
A vigorous growing crop will aid weed control by shading and providing competition for weeds. However, a dense
|
||
crop canopy at time of application can intercept spray and result in reduced weed control. Weeds may not be
|
||
adequately controlled in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips.
|
||
Applications made to weeds that are in the cotyledon stage, larger than the size indicated, or to weeds under stress
|
||
may result in unsatisfactory control.
|
||
HARMONY® SG may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as extreme
|
||
temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop
|
||
may have differing levels of sensitivity to treatment with HARMONY® SG under otherwise normal conditions.
|
||
Treatment of sensitive crop varieties may injure crops.
|
||
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application. Several hours of dry weather are
|
||
needed to allow HARMONY® SG to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage.
|
||
To reduce the potential of crop injury in cereals, tank mix HARMONY® SG with 2,4-D and apply after the crop is
|
||
in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
HARMONY® SG, which contains the active ingredient Thifensulfuron methyl, is a group 2 herbicide based on the
|
||
mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Proactively implementing diversified
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
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 HARMONY® SG 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 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:
|
||
- 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 2 herbicides.
|
||
• Note: For Mixtures of herbicide products, each listed weed may not be controlled by multiple mechanisms of
|
||
action.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two applications of HARMONY® SG 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 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
|
||
FMC recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. 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. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles
|
||
and practices including 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.
|
||
|
||
SOYBEANS
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be applied to soybeans any time after the first trifoliate has expanded fully. Early-season soybean
|
||
injury may result from tank-mix applications with other registered herbicides. Injury may manifest itself as stunting (seen as
|
||
a reduction in leaf size or internode length), yellowing leaves and/or red veins, and necrosis in the leaves and petioles. The
|
||
potential for soybean injury is most pronounced with applications made during hot, humid conditions, under widely
|
||
fluctuating weather or temperature conditions, or with applications to soybeans under stress.
|
||
Late applications (after the bloom stage) may result in crop injury in non-STS soybeans. Apply no later than 60 days before
|
||
harvest.
|
||
USE RATES IN SOYBEANS
|
||
Make a single application of HARMONY® SG at a rate of 0.125 (1/8) ounce per acre for selective postemergence broadleaf
|
||
weed control on conventional soybean varieties. HARMONY® SG at 1/8 to 1/2 ounce per acre is recommended for use on
|
||
soybeans designated "STS" (alone or stacked trait). Severe injury or death of soybeans will result if any soybeans not
|
||
designated as "STS" are treated with more than 1/8 ounce of HARMONY® SG. Multiple applications of HARMONY® SG
|
||
may be applied to "STS" soybeans provided no more than a total of 1/2 ounce is applied per season.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications of HARMONY® SG in soybeans must include a nonionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate, and an ammonium
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer. See “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”.
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||
When applied to soybeans as directed, HARMONY® SG will control the following weeds:
|
||
Weeds Controlled Maximum Size (inches)
|
||

|
||
Wild Sunflower 6
|
||
*Partial Control: A visual reduction of weed population as well as a significant loss of vigor for individual weed plants.
|
||
† Naturally occurring resistant biotypes are known to occur.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES IN SOYBEANS
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of other products registered for use in soybeans. However,
|
||
)0& will not warrant crop safety or weed control of HARMONY® SG tank mixtures with any other pesticide or spray
|
||
adjuvant except as specified in this label, or other )0&supplemental labeling or technical bulletins.
|
||
For tank mixtures with HARMONY® SG, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and pre-cautions on the
|
||
EPA approved labels. When tank mixing, the most restrictive labeling applies.
|
||
Do not tank mix HARMONY® SG with organophosphate insecticides, or apply HARMONY® SG within 14 days before or
|
||
after an application of an organophosphate insecticide, as severe crop injury may occur.
|
||
With Postemergence Grass Herbicides
|
||
Include a nonionic surfactant with the tank mix of HARMONY® SG and post grass herbicides such as ASSUREII
|
||
herbicide. With post grass herbicides, surfactant rate (concentration) should be 1-2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution
|
||
(0.125%-0.25% v/v concentration). Use of a higher rate of nonionic surfactant, particularly under hot, humid conditions, may
|
||
result in temporary crop injury. Do not use crop oil concentrate when tank mixing HARMONY® SG with postemergence
|
||
grass herbicides unless specified on other )0& supplemental labeling. Do not tank mix with "Poast" Plus unless specified on
|
||
other )0& labeling. Tank Mixes with "Select Max" may result in unacceptable injury.
|
||
With Glyphosate
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with glyphosate for improved control of certain broadleaf weeds in STS X Roundup
|
||
Ready stacked soybeans and Roundup Ready soybeans. In addition to the weeds listed above, this tank mix will provide
|
||
improved control of volunteer Roundup Ready canola, ALS-sensitive horseweed and kochia, and wild buckwheat.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing HARMONY® SG with glyphosate, it is recommended to add ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 4.25 - 17 lb
|
||
per 100 gal of spray mixture. See the glyphosate manufacturer’s label for specific ammonium nitrogen recommendations.
|
||
When velvetleaf is present, ammonium sulfate is required at a minimum rate of 2 lb per acre.
|
||
The addition of surfactant at 0.125 - 0.25% v/v (1-2 pt per 100 gal spray mixture) to some HARMONY® SG plus glyphosate
|
||
tank mixes will improve weed control when glyphosate products are used that do not contain built-in adjuvant systems.
|
||
Glyphosate products differ in their adjuvant contents. Glyphosate products such as Glyphomax or Roundup Original allow
|
||
for addition of surfactants. See the manufacturer’s specific surfactant recommendations.
|
||
With CLASSICHerbicide
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with CLASSIC for improved control of certain broadleaf weeds in soybeans. In
|
||
addition to the weeds listed above, this tank mix will provide improved control of cocklebur, common ragweed, jimsonweed,
|
||
marestail, and yellow nutsedge. See CLASSIC label for additional weeds controlled.
|
||
Apply a tank mix of 0.5 ounce of CLASSIC plus 0.125 (1/8) ounce of HARMONY® SG per acre. Application must
|
||
include a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.125 - 0.25% v/v (1-2 pt per 100 gal spray solution). Use of the higher rate of NIS,
|
||
particularly under hot, humid conditions, may increase temporary crop injury. DO NOT use "Dash", crop oil concentrate, or
|
||
methylated seed oils as adjuvants with this tank mix. The use of ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is required for control of
|
||
velvetleaf and ragweeds. See “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”. A postemergence grass herbicide, such as ASSURE II , may also
|
||
be tank mixed with HARMONY® SG plus CLASSIC.
|
||
With "Pursuit" Herbicide (in the states of IL, IN, IA, MI, MN, ND, OH, PA, SD, and WI)
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with "Pursuit" herbicide for improved control of nightshade (less than 2" tall) in
|
||
soybeans. Apply after the first trifoliate of the soybeans has fully expanded and plants are actively growing but before
|
||
soybeans begin to flower.
|
||
Apply a tank mix of 0.125 (1/8) ounce of HARMONY® SG plus 2 fluid ounces of "Pursuit" per acre. CLASSIC may also
|
||
be added to this tank mix at 1/4 to 1/3 ounce per acre. Application must include a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.125% v/v (1
|
||
pt per 100 gal spray solution). Under dry, cool (generally 70
|
||
o
|
||
F or less) conditions the rate of NIS may be increased to 2 pints
|
||
per 100 gallons of solution. DO NOT use "Dash", crop oil concentrate, or methylated seed oils as adjuvants with this tank
|
||
mix. The use of ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is required. See “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”.
|
||
This tank mix combination may shorten stem internodal length and cause temporary crop injury. Crop response may be
|
||
increased when applications are made to soybeans that are under stress. Soybeans will recover quickly under normal
|
||
growing conditions. Sequential applications of HARMONY® SG following postemergence "Pursuit" applications are not
|
||
recommended due to the potential for reduced weed control and increased crop injury.
|
||
HARMONY® SG plus "Pursuit" may be tank mixed with ASSURE® II to control volunteer corn and shattercane. "Pursuit"
|
||
may reduce the activity of ASSURE II on other grasses. For broad-spectrum grass control, apply ASSURE II 1 day
|
||
before or 7 days after "Pursuit" treatments.
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS IN SOYBEANS
|
||
Before making applications of HARMONY® SG to soybeans previously treated with other herbicides, ensure that the
|
||
soybeans are free from stress (herbicide or environmental) and actively growing.
|
||
CULTIVATION
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond the maximum size at the time of
|
||
application, or weeds that emerge after an application of HARMONY® SG. Do not cultivate within 7 days before or after the
|
||
application. Cultivation may decrease weed control by pruning roots and placing the weed under stress. The best time to
|
||
cultivate is approximately 14 days after application.
|
||
FIELD CORN
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG to field corn hybrids with a Relative Maturity (RM) of 88 days or more, including "food grade"
|
||
(yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy and high-oil corn. Not all field corn hybrids of less than 88 days RM, not all white corn
|
||
hybrids or Hi-Lysine hybrids have been tested for crop safety, nor does )0& have access to all seed company data.
|
||
Consequently, injury arising from the use of HARMONY® SG on these types of corn is the responsibility of the user.Consult
|
||
with your seed supplier before applying HARMONY® SG to any of these corn types.
|
||
HARMONY® SG may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with field corn
|
||
type, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||
• HARMONY® SG may be applied to corn previously treated with "Fortress", "Aztec", "Force" or nonorganophosphate
|
||
(OP) soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
• Applications of HARMONY® SG to corn previously treated with “Lorsban”, or other organophosphate insecticides not
|
||
listed above or below, may result in temporary crop injury.
|
||
• Applications of HARMONY® SG to corn previously treated with “Counter 20CR”, “Lorsban” or “Thimet” may cause
|
||
unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
|
||
• DO NOT apply HARMONY® SG to corn previously treated with Counter 15G.
|
||
Do not apply to sweet corn, popcorn or field corn grown for seed. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation
|
||
systems.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be applied to 2-6 leaf field corn with 1-5 collars or up to 16 inches tall. Do not apply to field corn
|
||
taller than 16 inches or 5 collars, whichever is more restrictive.
|
||
USE RATES IN FIELD CORN
|
||
Make a single application of HARMONY® SG at a rate of 0.125 (1/8) ounce per acre for selective postemergence broadleaf
|
||
weed control on field corn hybrids.
|
||
Do not make more than one application per season.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications of HARMONY® SG in field corn must include either nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal) or crop oil
|
||
concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal) plus either ammonium nitrogen solution such as 28% UAN (2-4 qt/acre) of ammonium
|
||
sulfate (2-4 lb/acre). See “
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS”.
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||
Apply to weeds whose first true leaves are expanded but before weeds exceed the sizes listed below. When applied as
|
||
directed, HARMONY® SG will control the following weeds:
|
||
Weeds Controlled Maximum Size (inches)
|
||
Velvetleaf 6
|
||
Pigweed species† 12
|
||
Lambsquarters 4
|
||
Annual smartweeds 6
|
||
Wild Mustard† up to 4" in dia.
|
||
† Naturally occurring resistant biotypes are known to occur.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES IN FIELD CORN
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be applied as a tank mixture with labeled rates of atrazine. HARMONY® SG may be applied as a
|
||
tank mixture with labeled rates of glyphosate for use only on “Roundup Ready” field corn. Do not tank mix with other corn
|
||
herbicides unless specified on HARMONY® SG labels or technical bulletins.
|
||
When tank mixing HARMONY® SG with glyphosate, it is recommended to add ammonium sulfate (AMS) at4.25 - 17 lb per
|
||
100 gal of spray mixture. See the glyphosate manufacturer’s label for specific ammonium nitrogen recommendations. When
|
||
velvetleaf is present, ammonium sulfate is required at a minimum rate of 2 lb per acre.
|
||
The addition of surfactant at 0.125 - 0.25% v/v (1-2 pt per 100 gal spray mixture) to some HARMONY® SG plus glyphosate
|
||
tank mixes will improve weed control when glyphosate products are used that do not contain built-in adjuvant systems.
|
||
Glyphosate products differ in their adjuvant contents.
|
||
Glyphosate products such as Glyphomax or Roundup Original allow for addition of surfactants. See the manufacturer’s
|
||
specific surfactant recommendations.
|
||
CEREALS
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Wheat (Including Durum), Barley, Triticale and Winter Oats
|
||
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage, but before the flag leaf is visible.
|
||
Spring Oats
|
||
Make applications after the crop is in the 3-leaf stage, but before jointing. Do not use on "Ogle", "Porter" or "Premier" varieties
|
||
since crop injury can occur.
|
||
USE RATES IN CEREALS
|
||
If the predominant weeds in the field are those listed under "WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED", include a tank mix partner
|
||
(refer to “TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS”).
|
||
Wheat, Barley and Triticale
|
||
Apply 0.75 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre to wheat (including durum), barley or triticale for postemergence broadleaf weed
|
||
control.
|
||
Use 0.9 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre when weed infestation is heavy and predominately consists of those weeds listed under
|
||
partial control, or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal (refer to the " APPLICATION TIMING"
|
||
and"352'8&7 INFORMATION" sections of this label).
|
||
Use 0.45 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre when weed infestation is light and predominately consists of those weeds listed under
|
||
weeds controlled, and when optimum application conditions occur.
|
||
Sequential treatments of HARMONY® SG may be made provided the total amount of HARMONY® SG applied to the crop does
|
||
not exceed 1.5 ounce per acre.
|
||
|
||
Oats (Spring and Winter)
|
||
Apply 0.45 to 0.6 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre to oats (Spring and Winter) for postemergence broadleaf weed control.
|
||
Do not make more than one application of HARMONY® SG per crop season on oats.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications of HARMONY® SG in cereals must include a spray adjuvant. See “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of other products registered for use in cereals.
|
||
Read and follow all manufacturers’ label instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or insecticides. If those
|
||
instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix that product with HARMONY® SG. Read and follow all label instructions on
|
||
timing, precautions, and warnings for any companion products before using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive
|
||
labeling.
|
||
With 2,4-D or MCP
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with the amine and ester formulations of 2,4-D and MCP herbicides for use on wheat,
|
||
barley, oats, or fallow.
|
||
For best results, add the ester formulations of 2,4-D or MCP herbicides to the tank at 1/4 to 3/8 lb active ingredient (such as 1/2-3/4
|
||
pint of a 4 lb/gal product, 1/3-1/2 pint of a 6 lb/gal product). Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 quart per
|
||
100 gal of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury,
|
||
especially at the higher phenoxy rates. Higher rates of 2,4-D or MCP may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate allowed by
|
||
those respective labels.
|
||
For best results in the Red River Valley and adjacent areas of North Dakota and Minnesota, add the ester formulations of 2,4-
|
||
D or MCP herbicides to the tank at 3/8 lb active ingredient (such as 3/4 pint of a 4 lb/gal product, 1/2 pint of a 6 lb/gal
|
||
product). Noadditional surfactant is needed with this mixture.
|
||
With dicamba (such as "Banvel"/"Clarity")
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with 1/16 to 1/8 lb active ingredient dicamba (such as 2-4 fluid ounce "Banvel". Use higher
|
||
rates when weed infestation is heavy. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 quart per 100 gal of spray
|
||
solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Tank mixes of
|
||
HARMONY® SG plus dicamba may result in reduced control of some broadleaf weeds.
|
||
With 2,4-D or MCP and dicamba
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba and 2,4-D or MCP. Make application of
|
||
HARMONY® SG plus 1/16 to 1/8 lb active ingredient dicamba plus 1/4-3/8 lb active ingredient 2,4-D or MCP ester or amine per
|
||
acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 quart per 100 gal
|
||
of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury.
|
||
Apply to winter wheat and winter oats after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In Spring Wheat (includin g
|
||
Durum) and Spring Oats, apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 5-leaf stage. In Spring Barley, apply after the crop
|
||
is tillering and before it exceeds the 4-leaf stage.
|
||
With Bromoxynil (such as "Buctril", "Bronate" or "Bronate Advanced")
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with bromoxynil containing herbicides registered for use on wheat, barley or triticale.
|
||
For best results, add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3 to 6 oz active ingredient per acre (such as "Bronate" at
|
||
3/4 - 1 1/2 pt per acre). Tank mixes of HARMONY® SG plus bromoxynil may result in reduced control of Canada thistle.
|
||
With fluroxypyr (such as "Starane" brands)
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with fluroxypyr containing herbicides for improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall) and other
|
||
broadleaf weeds at 1 to 2 ounces active ingredient per acre (such as 1/3 to 2/3 pints per acre of “Starane”). 2,4-D and MCP
|
||
herbicides may be tank mixed with HARMONY® SG plus fluroxypyr.
|
||
With Other Broadleaf Control Products
|
||
For improved control of broadleaf weeds, HARMONY® SG can be tank mixed with other herbicides registered on cereals
|
||
such asEXPRESS® SG, ALLY® XP, "Widematch", Aim, "Stinger", or “Curtail".
|
||
With "Axial" brands
|
||
For control of wild oats and other grasses, HARMONY® SG can be tankmixed with "Axial" brand herbicides.
|
||
With "Discover" NG
|
||
HARMONY® SG can be tank mixed with "Discover" NG herbicide for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
|
||
With "Everest"
|
||
HARMONY® SG can be tank mixed with "Everest" herbicide for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
|
||
With "Hoelon"
|
||
A tankmix of "Hoelon" 3EC herbicide + HARMONY® SG can be applied for annual ryegrass (in the Pacific Northwest only), wild
|
||
oats and broadleaf weed control in winter and spring wheat, and spring barley. The "Hoelon" 3EC rate should be 2 2/3 pints per acre
|
||
with up to 0.75 ounce per acre HARMONY® SG in spring and winter wheat.
|
||
A three-way tankmix of "Hoelon" 3EC + "Buctril" herbicide + HARMONY® SG can be applied for annual ryegrass (in the Pacific
|
||
Northwest only), wild oats and broadleaf weed control in winter and spring wheat, and spring barley. The "Hoelon" 3EC rate should
|
||
be 2 2/3 pints per acre with up to 0.75 ounce per acre HARMONY® SG in winter wheat (up to 0.6 ounce per acre in spring wheat
|
||
and spring barley). "Buctril" should be used at 1 pint per acre.
|
||
This tank mixture should only be used under good soil moisture conditions when wild oats are in the 1 to 4 leaf stage. Reduced
|
||
control of foxtail is likely when tank mixing "Hoelon" with HARMONY® SG. When foxtail is the major grassy weed in the field,
|
||
DO NOT tank mix "Hoelon" 3EC + HARMONY® SG - use sequential treatments.
|
||
|
||
|
||
With Other Grass Control Products
|
||
For improved control of grass weeds, HARMONY® SG can be tankmixed with other grass control herbicides registered on
|
||
cerealssuch as "Maverick", "Achieve", or "Puma". Antagonism generally does not occur. However, )0&recommends that
|
||
you firstconsult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or )0& representative as to
|
||
the potentialfor antagonism before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of HARMONY® SG
|
||
and the grassproduct to a small area.
|
||
With Fungicides
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on cereal grains.
|
||
With Insecticides
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on cereal grains.
|
||
However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential
|
||
applications of HARMONY® SG with organophosphate insecticides (such as "Lorsban") may produce temporary crop yellowing
|
||
or, in severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injury is 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.
|
||
Do not apply HARMONY® SG within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in-
|
||
furrow treatment because crop injury may result.
|
||
Do not use HARMONY® SG (with TotalSol® soluble granules) plus "Malathion" because crop injury will result.
|
||
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
|
||
HARMONY® SG in fertilizer solution.
|
||
HARMONY® SG must first be dissolved 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 HARMONY® SG 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 1/2 pint -1 quart per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 - 0.25% v/v) based on local guidance.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury.
|
||
Consultyour agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or )0&Uepresentative for a specific recommendation before adding
|
||
anadjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-D or MCP is included with HARMONY® SG and the fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (See
|
||
manufacturer’s label). Additional surfactant may not be needed when using HARMONY® SG in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or
|
||
MCP ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or )0&
|
||
representative for a specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
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 consul t
|
||
youragricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or )0& representative for a specific recommendation before using nitrogen
|
||
fertilizercarrier 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.
|
||
SAFFLOWER
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be used on safflower for selective postemergence control of certain broadleaf weeds in North
|
||
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Montana (east of Route 87 or east of I-15), and Wyoming (east of I-25 or north of I-90).
|
||
Thedegree and duration of control may depend on the weed spectrum and infestation intensity, the weed size at application
|
||
and/or theenvironmental conditions at and following treatment.
|
||
USE RATES
|
||
For best results, apply 0.45 to 0.6 oz of HARMONY® SG per acre no later than 81 days prior to harvesting. Sequential treatments
|
||
of HARMONY® SG may be made provided the total amount of HARMONY® SG applied to safflower does not exceed 0.6 oz per
|
||
acre per crop season and the last application is made no later than 81 days prior to harvest.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications of HARMONY® SG in safflower must include either nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal) or crop oil
|
||
concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal) plus either ammonium nitrogen solution such as 28% UAN (2-4 qt/acre) or ammonium sulfate
|
||
(2-4 lb/acre).
|
||
BURNDOWN - PRE-PLANT, POST HARVEST, AND FALLOW
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Pre-Plant Burndown
|
||
For burndown of emerged weeds, broadcast applications of HARMONY® SG may be applied before planting or shortly after
|
||
planting, but prior to emergence of wheat (including durum), barley, oats, triticale, soybeans and field corn.
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG as a burndown treatment up to the day of planting grain sorghum and rice. Apply HARMONY® SG as a
|
||
burndown treatment at least 7 days prior to planting cotton. Apply HARMONY® SG as a burndown treatment before planting any
|
||
other crop (such as sugarbeets or canola) at least 45 days prior to planting.
|
||
Cotton Precaution: Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2"), excessive moisture, high salt
|
||
concentration, and/or drought may weaken cotton seedlings and incresase the possibility of crop injury. Cotton resumes normal
|
||
growth once favorable growing conditions return.
|
||
Do not make more than one pre-plant or at planting application of HARMONY® SG to soybeans, field corn, sorghum, cotton, or
|
||
|
||
|
||
rice per growing season.
|
||
Post Harvest
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be used as a burndown treatment to crop stubble when the majority of weeds have emerged and are actively
|
||
growing. (See the "CROP ROTATION" section of this label for additional information).
|
||
Fallow
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG in the spring through the fall when the majority of weeds have emerged and are actively growing. (See
|
||
the "CROP ROTATION" section of this label for additional information).
|
||
USE RATES IN BURNDOWN
|
||
Pre-Plant Burndown
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG at 0.45 to 0.9 ounce per acre for control or partial control of the weeds listed below. Use 0.9 ounce per
|
||
acre rate when weed infestation is heavy and predominantly consists of those weeds listed under the " WEEDS PARTIALLY
|
||
CONTROLLED" section of this label, or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal. In fields to be planted
|
||
to cotton, apply HARMONY® SG at 0.3 to 0.5 ounce per acre.
|
||
Sequential burndown treatments of HARMONY® SG may also be made (such as 0.9 ounce per acre in the fall followed by 0.6
|
||
ounce per acre spring preplant) provided the total amount of HARMONY® SG applied during the fallow/preplant period does not
|
||
exceed 1.5 ounce per acre.
|

HARMONY® SG should be applied in combination with other suitable registered pre-plant burndown herbicides (See the "TANK
|
||
MIXTURES IN BURNDOWN" section of this label for additional information.)
|
||
Post Harvest
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG at 0.45 to 0.9 ounce per acre to crop stubble after harvest. Use the 0.9 ounce per acre rate when weed
|
||
infestation is heavy and predominantly consists of those weeds listed under the "WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED" section of
|
||
this label or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal. (See the "APPLICATION TIMING" section of this
|
||
label for restriction on planting intervals). HARMONY® SG should be applied in combination with other suitable registered
|
||
burndown herbicides (See the "TANK MIXTURES IN BURNDOWN" section of this label for additional information).
|
||
Sequential treatments of HARMONY® SG may also be made provided the total amount of HARMONY® SG applied during one
|
||
fallow/pre plant cropland season does not exceed 1.5 ounce per acre.
|
||
Fallow
|
||
Apply HARMONY® SG at 0.45 to 0.9 ounce per acre to fallow for control or partial control of the weeds listed below. Sequential
|
||
treatments of HARMONY® SG may be made provided the total amount of HARMONY® SG applied during the fallow period
|
||
does not exceed 1.5 ounce per acre.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications of HARMONY® SG in burndown must include a spray adjuvant. See “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES IN BURNDOWN
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of other products registered for use as a pre-plant burndown
|
||
treatment, as a post harvest treatment to crop stubble, and/or as a fallow treatment. Read and follow all manufacturers’ label
|
||
instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or insecticides. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not
|
||
tankmix that product with HARMONY® SG. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for
|
||
any companion products before using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive labeling.
|
||
With 2,4-D and glyphosate
|
||
HARMONY® SG may be tank mixed with 2,4-D and glyphosate herbicides for control of marestail in burndown applications. For
|
||
best results, add the ester formulations of 2,4-D to the tank at 1/4 to 3/4 lb active ingredient (such as 0.5 to 1.5 pints of a 4 lb/gal
|
||
product) and add glyphosate at 1/2 lb active ingredient (such as 1 pint of a 4 lb/gal product). NIS or COC may be added to the
|
||
mixture (see “SPRAY ADJUVANTS”). Higher rates of 2,4-D or glyphosate may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate allowed

SPECIFIC WEED INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Common chickweed and wild buckwheat: For best results, apply a minimum of 0.75 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre plus
|
||
surfactant when all or the majority of weeds have germinated and are past the cotyledon stage. Weeds should be less than 3
|
||
inches tall or across at the time of HARMONY® SG application.
|
||
Kochia: Naturally occurring biotypes resistant to HARMONY® SG are known to occur. For best results, use HARMONY®
|
||
SG in a tank mix with Starane, Starane + Salvo, Starane + Sword, dicamba (such as "Banvel"/ "Clarity") and 2,4-D
|
||
or MCP(ester or amine), or bromoxynil containing products (such as "Buctril", "Bison", "Bronate" or "Bronate Advanced").
|
||
HARMONY® SG should be applied in the spring when kochia are less than 2" tall and are actively growing (refer to the
|
||
"TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS" section of this label for additional details on rates and restrictions).
|
||
Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring biotypes resistant to HARMONY® SG of these weeds are known to
|
||
occur. For best results, use HARMONY® SG in a tank mix with dicamba (such as "Banvel"/ "Clarity") and 2,4-D or MCP
|
||
(ester or amine), or bromoxynil containing products (such as "Buctril", "Bison", "Bronate" or "Bronate Advanced").
|
||
HARMONY® SG should be applied in the spring when Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2" across
|
||
and are actively growing (refer to the " TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS " section of this label for additional details on rates
|
||
and restrictions).
|
||
Wild garlic: For best results, apply 0.75 to 0.9 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre plus surfactant when wild garlic plants are
|
||
less than 12 inches tall with 2 to 4 inches of new growth. For severe infestations, use the 0.9 ounce per acre rate of
|
||
HARMONY® SG. Control may be reduced when plants are hardened-off by cold weather and/or drought stress. Control is
|
||
enhanced when applications are made during warm temperatures to actively growing wild garlic plants. Typical symptoms of
|
||
dying wild garlic plants (discoloration and collapse) may not be noticeable for 2-5 weeks.
|
||
Thorough coverage of all garlic plants is essential. Tank mixes of HARMONY® SG plus metribuzin may result in reduced
|
||
control of wild garlic.
|
||
Wild radish: For best results, apply 0.75 to 0.9 ounce HARMONY® SG per acre plus surfactant either in the fall or spring to
|
||
wild radish rosettes less than 6 inches in diameter. Applications made later than 30 days after weed emergence will result in
|
||
partial control. Fall applications should be made prior to hardening-off of plants.
|
||
SU/IMI Tolerant Volunteer Sunflowers: Control may not be adequate because varieties resistant to SU and IMI products
|
||
(like EXPRESS®, "Beyond", "Pursuit", "Raptor") are under development. For best results, use HARMONY® SG in a tank
|
||
mix with Starane, Starane + Salvo, Starane + Sword, dicamba (such as "Banvel"/ "Clarity") and 2,4-D or MCP
|
||
(ester or amine), or bromoxynil containing products (such as "Buctril", "Bison", "Bronate" or "Bronate Advanced").
|
||
|
||
|
||
GRAZING
|
||
Cereals and Soybeans
|
||
Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage. In addition, allow at least 7 days between application
|
||
and feeding of forage (green chop) from treated areas to livestock. Allow at least 30 days between application and feeding of
|
||
dried hay from treated areas to livestock. Harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or feed.
|
||
Field Corn
|
||
Do not graze or feed forage or grain from treated field corn to livestock within 30 days of application.
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
Soybeans, field corn, grain sorghum, rice, safflower, wheat, barley, oats, and triticale may be planted anytime after the
|
||
application of HARMONY® SG. Cotton may be planted 7 days after application. Any other crop may be planted 45 days
|
||
after the application of HARMONY® SG.
|
||
PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
|
||
HARMONY® SG is measured using the HARMONY® SG volumetric measuring cylinder. The degree of accuracy of this
|
||
cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Include a spray adjuvant with applications of HARMONY® SG. An ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may also be used. Do not use
|
||
low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant. Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
|
||
Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, local )0& fact sheets and technical bulletins prior to using an adjuvant system. If
|
||
another herbicide is tank mixed with HARMONY® SG, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must
|
||
contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
• Apply 0.06 to 0.50% volume/volume (1/2 pt to 4 pt per 100 gal of spray solution). For soybeans, apply 1 to 2 pints per 100
|
||
gallons of spray solution (use 1 pt under hot, humid conditions to reduce the potential for temporary crop injury).
|
||
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or ModifiedSeed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions. MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v if
|
||
specified on local )0& product literature or service policies. For soybeans, apply 1/2 gallon per 100 gallons of spray
|
||
solution (0.5%v/v).
|
||
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15%
|
||
surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality and
|
||
havebeen evaluated and approved by )0& product management. Consult separate )0& technical bulletins for detailed
|
||
information before using adjuvant types not specified on this label.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
• Use 2-4 qt/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2-4 lb/acre of a spray-grade
|
||
ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/acre UAN or 4 lb/acre AMS under arid conditions.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0, as rapid product
|
||
degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 - 8.0 allow for optimum stability of HARMONY® SG.
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of HARMONY® SG.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the HARMONY® SG is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the HARMONY® SG is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. HARMONY® SG
|
||
should 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 required volume of spray adjuvant. Always add spray
|
||
adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below
|
||
pH 6.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for optimum stability of
|
||
HARMONY® SG.

|
||
APPLICATION METHOD
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets
|
||
may be used to reduce drift, provided spray volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds. For optimal product
|
||
performance and minimal spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height recommended in
|
||
manufacturers’ specifications.
|
||
Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
Corn and Soybeans
|
||
Broadcast Application:
|
||
• Use 10-25 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
• Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase minimum spray volume to 15-25 gal per acre.
|
||
• Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into the corn plant whorl.
|
||
Band Application:
|
||
• For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture.
|
||
• To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate.
|
||
• Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop
|
||
and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
|
||
Cereals and Burndown
|
||
For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA).
|
||
For 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 over lap
|
||
the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
|
||
"Raindrop RA" nozzles are not recommended for HARMONY® SG applications, as weed control performance may be
|
||
reduced.
|
||
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
This product is limited to ground application only in the State of New York. Do not apply by air in that state.
|
||
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor coverage and/or off-target
|
||
spray movement.
|
||
In cereals and burndown use 2 to 5 gallons per acre; use at least 3 gallons per acre in Idaho, Oregon and Utah. In corn and
|
||
soybeans, use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre.
|
||
When applying HARMONY® SG 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.
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions 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 crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or
|
||
stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather
|
||
conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift refer to the "SPRAY
|
||
DRIFT MANAGEMENT" section of this label.
|
||
Continuous agitation may be required to keep tank-mix partners in solution or suspension. Refer to tank-mix partner labels
|
||
for additional information.
|
||
Before Spraying HARMONY® SG
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before HARMONY® SG is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the
|
||
labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in the "AFTER
|
||
SPRAYING HARMONY® SG " section of this label.
|
||
At the End Of the Day
|
||
It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of HARMONY® SG are applied, 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 wi ll
|
||
prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the application equipment.

|
||
After Spraying HARMONY® SG and Before Spraying Crops Other than Wheat, Barley, Oats,
|
||
Triticale, Field Corn and Soybeans
|
||
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
|
||
2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the tank volume. Circulate the water
|
||
through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.
|
||
Completely drain the sump.
|
||
3. Repeat step 2.
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
|
||
The rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) specified on this label. Do not exceed the maximum-labeled use

rate. If cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given,
|
||
dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waster disposal facility.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
3. When HARMONY® SG is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product should be
|
||
examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products should be
|
||
followed as per the individual labels.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
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. 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.
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
SENSITIVE AREAS
|
||
The pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
|
||
bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is
|
||
blowing away from the sensitive areas).
|
||
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 Chemical Producers and
|
||
Distributors Association (CPDA).
