|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. 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 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.
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
T-SQUARE™ herbicide is a dry flowable granule that is used for selective postemergence weed control in wheat
|
||
(including durum), barley, oat, triticale and fallow. The best control is obtained when T-SQUARE herbicide 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 and duration of
|
||
control may depend on the following:
|
||
• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
• weed size at application
|
||
• environmental conditions at and following treatment
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. T-SQUARE herbicide must
|
||
be mixed in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray.
|
||

|
||
Chemical Resistant Gloves (such as butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene rubber or nitrile rubber) >14 mls.
|
||
Shoes plus socks.
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops, 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 their roots.
|
||
• DO NOT use on lawns, walks, driveways, or tennis courts. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
• DO NOT apply to wheat, barley, triticale or oat crops underseeded with another crop.
|
||
• DO NOT harvest sooner than 45 days after the last application of T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide is only registered on wheat, barley, oat, triticale and fallow. DO NOT use on any other crop.
|
||
The total rate of T-SQUARE herbicide for wheat (including durum), barley and triticale cannot exceed 1.0 oz/A
|
||
(0.0312 lb/A thifensulfuron methyl and 0.0156 lb/A tribenuron methyl) of product applied to any one crop during
|
||
one year.
|
||
The total rate of T-SQUARE herbicide for oat (spring and winter) cannot exceed 0.4 oz/A (0.0125 lb/A
|
||
thifensulfuron methyl and 0.0063 lb/A tribenuron methyl) of product applied to any one crop during one year.
|
||
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, triticale or oat.
|
||
Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.
|
||
Varieties of wheat (including durum), barley and triticale 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 to a small area.
|
||
Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night
|
||
temperatures prior to or soon after T-SQUARE herbicide application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix T-SQUARE herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations
|
||
perform best–see Tank Mixtures) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide cannot be applied to wheat, barley. triticale or oat that is stressed by severe weather
|
||
conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury may result. Risk of
|
||
injury is greatest when 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.
|
||
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide is absorbed primarily through the foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds. One to 3 weeks after application to weeds (2 to 5 weeks for wild garlic), leaves of susceptible
|
||
plants appear chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently dies.
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds. Weed
|
||
control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a crop canopy that is too
|
||
dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
The herbicidal action of T-SQUARE herbicide may be affected in crops stressed from adverse environmental
|
||
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, cultural practices, or variations
|
||
in crop variety. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry
|
||
conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less
|
||
susceptible to T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide, which contains the active ingredients Thifensulfuron methyl and Tribenuron methyl, is a
|
||
group 2 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
|
||
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
|
||
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or
|
||
other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to
|
||
delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
|
||
management program.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
• Apply full rates of T-SQUARE herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time
|
||
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent 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 sites
|
||
of action. Products with multiple active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum 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 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
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
- 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 T-SQUARE 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 mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
|
||
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
• Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
Integrated Pest Management
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological,
|
||
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field
|
||
scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when
|
||
target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service,
|
||
professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for
|
||
treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.

PRECAUTIONS in Wheat (including durum), Barley, and Triticale:
|
||
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, triticale, and oat.
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide must not be applied to wheat, barley, and triticale that is 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 when 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Wheat, barley, and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC suggests 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 T-SQUARE herbicide to a small area.

APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Cereals:
|
||
In Wheat (Including Durum), Barley, Winter Oat and Triticale, make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf
|
||
stage, but before the flag leaf is visible.
|
||
In Spring Oat, make applications after the crop is in the 3 leaf stage, but before jointing. DO NOT use on "Ogle",
|
||
"Porter" or "Premier" varieties as crop injury can occur.
|
||
Since T-SQUARE herbicide has very little or no soil activity, it controls only those weeds that have germinated;
|
||
therefore, apply T-SQUARE herbicide when all or most of the weeds have germinated. Annual broadleaf weeds
|
||
needs to be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, and less than 4" tall or wide. Wild garlic plants needs to be
|
||
less than 12" tall with 2" to 4" of new growth. See Specific Weed Problems for more information.
|
||
Rainfall immediately after treatment can wash T-SQUARE herbicide off of weed foliage, resulting in reduced weed
|
||
control. Several hours of dry weather are needed to allow T-SQUARE herbicide to be sufficiently absorbed by weed
|
||
foliage.
|
||
Fallow:
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide may be used as a fallow treatment, in the spring or fall when the majority of weeds have
|
||
emerged and are actively growing.
|
||
Pre-Plant Burndown:
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide may be used as a burndown treatment to wheat (including durum), barley, triticale and oat to
|
||
control emerged weeds prior to, or shortly after planting (prior to emergence). Make applications when the majority
|
||
of weeds have emerged and are actively growing. T-SQUARE herbicide can also be used as a burndown treatment
|
||
prior to planting other crops including soybeans, corn, and cotton. See “CROP ROTATION” for the minimum time
|
||
interval required before planting other crops.
|
||
SURFACTANTS
|
||
Unless otherwise specified, add an FMC specified nonionic surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 1 to 2
|
||
qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.25 to 0.5% v/v - refer to TANK MIXTURES for specific adjuvant directions
|
||
when T-SQUARE herbicide is used in a tank mix).
|
||
For pre-plant burndown in Cotton, include a nonionic surfactant, petroleum based crop oil concentrate, or a
|
||
vegetable-seed oil-based product (methylated seed oils are considered a vegetable seed-based oil). If another
|
||
herbicide is tank mixed with T-SQUARE herbicide to increase the broadleaf weed spectrum, select adjuvants based
|
||
on the adjuvant limitations of the companion herbicide.
|
||
Consult your agricultural dealer, applicator, or FMC representative for a listing of advised surfactants. Antifoaming
|
||
agents may be used if needed.
|
||
DO NOT use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant.

|
||
Canada thistle*
|
||
Carolina geranium
|
||
Catchweed bedstraw
|
||
Cutleaf eveningprimrose
|
||
Mallow (common, little)
|
||
Nightshade (cutleaf, hairy)
|
||
Vetch* (common, hairy)
|
||
* See SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS for more information.
|
||
**Partial Control: A visual reduction of weed population as well as a significant loss of vigor. For best results, use the highest labeled rate of
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide per acre and include a tank mix partner such as 2,4-D, MCPA, Buctril® herbicide or Banvel® herbicide/Clarity®
|
||
herbicide (refer to TANK MIXTURES).
|
||
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
Canada thistle: For control in wheat, barley and triticale, use 0.6 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus surfactant when
|
||
all thistles are 4” to 8” with 2” to 6” of new growth. Make the application in the spring. Control will be improved by
|
||
using T-SQUARE herbicide in combination with 2,4-D.
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D.
|
||
Common cocklebur, Common ragweed, Lanceleaf sage: In wheat, barley and triticale, apply T-SQUARE
|
||
herbicide at 0.4 to 0.5 oz/A in combination with 2,4-D at rates from 1/4 to 3/8 lb active ingredient (ester
|
||
formulations work best) when weeds are small and actively growing. When using 1/4 lb active ingredient of 2,4-D,
|
||
be sure to add surfactant at the rate of 1/4 to 1/2 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.06 to 0.125% v/v—use
|
||
the higher rate under stress conditions).
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D.
|
||
Corn gromwell, Wild buckwheat: For control in wheat, barley and triticale, use 0.5 to 0.6 oz/A T-SQUARE
|
||
herbicide plus surfactant.
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D, MCPA or Buctril® Herbicide.
|
||
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur.
|
||
For best results, use T-SQUARE herbicide in a tank mix with dicamba and 2,4-D; or Bromoxynil (including
|
||
Buctril® Herbicide) and 2,4-D (3/4 - 1 pt Buctril® Herbicide + 1/4 - 3/8 lb active ingredient 2, 4-D ester).
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide need to be applied in the spring when weeds are less than 2” tall or 2” across and are actively
|
||
growing.
|
||
Vetch (common and hairy): For control in wheat, barley and triticale, use 0.5 to 0.6 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide
|
||
plus surfactant when vetch is less than 6” in length. For severe infestations of vetch, or when vetch is greater than 6”
|
||
in length, use T-SQUARE herbicide in combination with 2,4-D or MCPA.
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA.
|
||
Wild garlic: For control in wheat, barley and triticale, use 0.5 to 0.6 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus surfactant
|
||
when wild garlic plants are less than 12” tall with 2” to 4” of new growth. For severe infestations, use 0.6 oz/A T-
|
||
SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
Plants hardened-off by cold weather and/or drought stress may be more difficult to control. Thorough spray
|
||
coverage of all garlic plants is essential. Typical symptoms of dying garlic plants may not be noticeable for 2 to 5
|
||
weeks.
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA.
|
||
Wild radish: For best results in wheat, barley and triticale, apply 0.4 to 0.6 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide 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. For increased control of severe wild radish
|
||
infestations, or wild radish emerged greater than 30 days, apply T-SQUARE herbicide at 0.3 oz/A in combination
|
||
with MCPA at 1/4 lb active ingredient per acre. Surfactant is required when tank mixing with MCPA, add 1 quart
|
||
per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.25% vol/vol). Fall applications need to be made prior to hardening off of plants.
|
||
For control in oat, use 0.4 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA.
|

product, 1/2 pt of a 6 lb/gal product). No additional surfactant is needed with this mixture.
|
||
For best results in other areas, add the ester formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 1/4 to 3/8 lb
|
||
active ingredient (such as 1/2 - 3/4 pt of a 4 lb/gal product, 1/3 - 1/2 pt of a 6 lb/gal product). Surfactant may be
|
||
added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding surfactant
|
||
may increase the potential for crop injury, especially at the higher phenoxy rates.
|
||
Higher rates of 2,4-D or MCPA may be used, but DO NOT exceed the highest rate allowed by those respective
|
||
labels. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for these herbicides before using
|
||
these tank mixtures.
|
||
With dicamba (including BANVEL® Herbicide/CLARITY® Herbicide)
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide may be tank mixed with 1/16 to 1/8 lb active ingredient dicamba (including 2-4 fluid oz
|
||
Banvel® herbicide or 2-4 fluid oz Clarity® herbicide). Use higher specified rates when weed infestation is heavy.
|
||
Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however,
|
||
adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Refer to the specific dicamba label for application
|
||
timing and restrictions.
|
||
Tank mixes of T-SQUARE herbicide plus dicamba may result in reduced control of some broadleaf weeds.

application of T-SQUARE herbicide + 1/16 to 1/8 lb active ingredient dicamba (including 2-4 fluid oz Banvel ®
|
||
herbicide or 2-4 fluid oz Clarity® herbicide) + 1/4 - 3/8 lb active ingredient 2,4-D Ester or Amine per acre. Use
|
||
higher specified rates when weed infestation is heavy. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 qt per 100
|
||
gal of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury.
|
||
Consult the specific 2,4-D label, dicamba label, or local guidance for more information and restrictions.
|
||
Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat and winter oat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first
|
||

|
||
5-leaf stage.
|
||
In Spring Barley, apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 4-leaf stage.
|
||
With bromoxynil (including BUCTRIL® Herbicide, BRONATE® Herbicide, or BRONATE Advanced™
|
||
Herbicide)
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide may be tank mixed with bromoxynil containing herbicides registered for use on wheat,
|
||
barley, triticale, or fallow. For best results, add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3/16 to 3/8 lb active
|
||
ingredient per acre (including Bronate® herbicide or Buctril® herbicide at 3/4 - 1 1/2 pt per acre).
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restrictions, 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
|

restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping intervals, sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other information. The
|
||
most restrictive provisions on either label will apply. DO NOT use the tank mix if any restrictions on the Puma®
|
||
1EC herbicide label conflict with the instructions on the FMC herbicide label.
|
||
With other grass control products
|
||
Tank mixtures of T-SQUARE herbicide and grass control products may result in poor grass control. FMC advises
|
||
that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or FMC
|
||
representative as to the potential for antagonism before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the
|
||
initial use of T-SQUARE herbicide and the grass product to a small area.
|
||
With Insecticides
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides (or fungicides) registered for use on
|
||
cereal grains. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or
|
||
sequential applications of T-SQUARE herbicide with organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion) may produce
|
||
temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large
|
||
areas.
|
||
DO NOT use T-SQUARE herbicide plus products containing malathion, as 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 T-SQUARE herbicide in fertilizer solution. T-SQUARE herbicide must first be slurried with water
|
||
and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0- 0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide is added. Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
|
||
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the
|
||
addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 1/4 qt -1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 -0.25% v/v)
|
||
based on local guidance.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk
|
||
of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or FMC representative for specific instructions
|
||
before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with T-SQUARE herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more
|
||
compatible (See manufacturer’s label). Additional surfactant is not needed when using T-SQUARE herbicide in tank
|
||
mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
|
||
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of straight or
|
||
dilute nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night temperatures
|
||
exist. In these areas consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for specific
|
||
instructions before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions.
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
|
||
DO NOT use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
GRAZING
|
||
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 from treated areas to livestock. Allow at least 30 days between application and
|
||
feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. Harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or feed. Allow at least
|
||
45 days between application and harvesting of grain.
|
||

PRODUCT APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide is measured using the T-SQUARE herbicide volumetric measuring cylinder. The degree of
|
||
accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
|
||
PESTICIDE HANDLING
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
• Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
• Avoid overfilling 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 or uses.
|
||
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
|
||
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the T-SQUARE herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4.Once the T-SQUARE herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. T-
|
||
SQUARE herbicide must be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the required volume of nonionic surfactant.
|
||
Always add surfactant last. 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
|
||
T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before
|
||
using.
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
7. Apply T-SQUARE herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If T-SQUARE herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the T-SQUARE
|
||
herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the
|
||
dissolution of the T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
APPLICATION METHOD
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
|
||
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 overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
|
||
“Raindrop RA” nozzles are not advised for T-SQUARE herbicide applications, as weed control performance may be
|
||
reduced.
|
||
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 GPA.
|
||
Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
|
||
DO NOT apply T-SQUARE herbicide by air in the state of New York.
|
||
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
|
||
Sprinkler Chemigation with T-SQUARE herbicide and Bronate® Herbicide for
|
||
Postemergence Weed Control in Winter & Spring Wheat & Spring Barley in Idaho
|
||
Use 0.4 to 0.5 oz/A T-SQUARE herbicide in combination with 3/4 to 1 1/2 pt/A Bronate® herbicide. Apply to
|
||
wheat, barley and triticale after the 3-leaf stage but before the flag leaf is visible. Make only one chemigation
|
||
application of this tank mixture per crop year. For best results, apply to broadleaf weeds up to the 4-leaf stage, or 2
|
||
inches in height or 1 inch in diameter, whichever comes first. Consult T-SQUARE herbicide and Bronate®
|
||
herbicide package labels for a list of weeds controlled/suppressed.
|
||
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
Apply this tank mix through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid
|
||
set or hand move irrigation systems only. DO NOT apply these herbicides through any other type of irrigation
|
||
system.
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution
|
||
of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you may contact State Extension Service specialists,
|
||
equipment manufacturers or other experts. DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse
|
||
systems) used for T-SQUARE herbicide application to any public water system. A person knowledgeable of the
|
||
chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut
|
||
the system down and make necessary adjustments if the need arises.
|
||
The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure
|
||
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The
|
||
pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
|
||
fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally
|
||
closed, solenoid- operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system
|
||
interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
|
||
automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically
|
||
shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must
|
||
include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the
|
||
|
||
19
|
||
|
||
point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, including a positive
|
||
displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
|
||
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. DO NOT apply when wind speed
|
||
favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
|
||
1. In center pivot and continuous lateral move systems, T-SQUARE herbicide + Bronate® herbicide needs to be
|
||
applied continuously for the duration of the water application. In solid set systems, application of the tank mix needs
|
||
to be made during the last 30 to 45 minutes of the irrigation set.
|
||
2. Set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per acre for best product performance.
|
||
3. Fill the supply tank with half of the water amount desired, add the T-SQUARE herbicide and agitate it well. Add
|
||
the Bronate® herbicide and then add the remaining water amount with agitation. Bronate® herbicide requires a
|
||
dilution with at least 4 parts water to 1 part Bronate® herbicide.
|
||
4. Agitation is advised in the pesticide supply tank when applying this tank mix.
|
||
5. The use of a surfactant is not advised with this tank mix application.
|
||
6. Inject the T-SQUARE herbicide + Bronate® herbicide solution at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn of
|
||
irrigation pipe to insure adequate mixing. Allow sufficient time for the herbicide mixture to be flushed through the
|
||
lines before turning off irrigation water.
|
||
7. Follow both T-SQUARE herbicide and Bronate® herbicide label instructions for spray tank cleanout both before
|
||
and after application. Flush lines with clean water following application.
|
||
8. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Avoiding spray drift is the
|
||
responsibility of the applicator.
|
||
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 Spray Drift Management section
|
||
of label.
|
||
Continuous agitation is required to keep T-SQUARE herbicide in suspension.
|
||
Before Spraying T-SQUARE HERBICIDE
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before T-SQUARE herbicide 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 After Spraying T-SQUARE herbicide.
|
||
At the End of the Day
|
||
It is advised that during periods when multiple loads of T-SQUARE herbicide 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 will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in the application equipment.
|
||
After Spraying T-SQUARE HERBICIDE and Before Spraying Crops
|
||
Other Than Wheat, Barley, Triticale and Oat
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
|
||
following applications of T-SQUARE herbicide as follows:
|
||
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove
|
||
any visible deposits.
|
||
|
||
20
|
||
|
||
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of
|
||
water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely
|
||
fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses,
|
||
boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
|
||
4. Repeat step 2.
|
||
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate so lution 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. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an
|
||
approved waste disposal facility.
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or an FMC-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout
|
||
procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or FMC
|
||
representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
|
||
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 T-SQUARE herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures must be examined and
|
||
the most rigorous procedure must be followed.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products must be
|
||
followed as per the individual labels.
|
||
5.Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between applications of T-
|
||
SQUARE herbicide and applications of other pesticides to T-SQUARE herbicide-sensitive crops during the same
|
||
spray season, it is advised that a sprayer be dedicated to T-SQUARE herbicide to further reduce the chance of crop
|
||
injury.
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop
|
||
canopy.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
|
||
height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large 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.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used,
|
||
read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an
|
||
additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with
|
||
a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Chemical Producers and
|
||
Distributors Association (CPDA).
