Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

|
||
Dear Mr. Marchione:
|
||
The application referred to above, submitted under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
|
||
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable under FIFRA section 3(c)(5).
|
||
You must submit and/or cite all data required for registration/reregistration/registration review of
|
||
your product when the Agency requires all registrants of similar products to submit such data.
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before
|
||
you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR
|
||
152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18
|
||
months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product
|
||
if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is
|
||
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||
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 FIFRA 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) lists examples of statements
|
||
EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced

|
||
Decision No. 576038
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
|
||
with FIFRA section 6.

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 of equipment or disposal of
|
||
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
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 months 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 affects 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
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG herbicide is a water soluble granule formulation that selectively controls certain broadleaf
|
||
weeds and grasses in pome fruit, citrus fruit, tree nuts, stone fruit, blueberry, caneberry, tropical and
|
||
subtropical, small fruit, edible peel subgroup 23A, olives, pomegranates and small vine climbing fruit
|
||
(except fuzzy kiwifruit) [grape] crops which have been established for at least one full growing season.
|
||
Matrix SG herbicide also selectively controls certain broadleaf weeds and grasses in field corn (CA only),
|
||
tuberous and corm vegetable potatoes, potatoes grown for seed and field grown tomatoes (direct seeded
|
||
and transplant).
|
||
|
||
The best control is obtained when Matrix SG is applied to young, actively growing weeds. 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
|
||
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is absorbed through the roots and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible
|
||
weeds. For Preemergence weed control, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move Matrix SG into
|
||
the soil. Weeds will generally not emerge from preemergence applications. In some cases, susceptible
|
||
weeds may germinate and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases and leaves
|
||
become chlorotic three to five days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in
|
||
some species, while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive.
|
||
|
||
One to three weeks after postemergence application to weeds, leaves of susceptible plants appear
|
||
chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently dies. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide
|
||
symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. Death of
|
||
leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but stunted and
|
||
noncompetitive.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG provides the best control of weeds in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds.
|
||
Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not provide satisfactory control. However,
|
||
a crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
|
||
The herbicidal action of Matrix SG may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental
|
||
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In
|
||
addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Postemergence weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application. Several hours of
|
||
dry weather are needed to allow Matrix SG to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage (generally Matrix
|
||
SG is rainfast in 4 hours).
|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
Potato and tomato varieties may differ in their re sponse to various herbicides. Corteva Agriscience
|
||
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.
|
||
Preemergence use on soils containing more than 6% organic matter may not provide adequate soil
|
||
residual weed control and may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
Preemergence and Postemergence use on rill irrigated potatoes and tomatoes (furrow or gravity) may
|
||
not provide adequate weed control in the absence of rainfall.
|
||
If sprinklers are used for frost protection, delay the application of Matrix SG until stress from
|
||
environmental conditions have passed.
|
||
Avoid spray drift to any adjacent crops or desirable plants as injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 11
|
||
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of Ma trix SG if there is a prolonged period of cold
|
||
weather and/or cold weather in conjunction with wet soils caused by poor drainage or excessive use
|
||
of sprinkler irrigation for frost protection.
|
||
Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable tr ees or other plants, or in areas where their roots
|
||
may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots
|
||
may injure these plants. Trees or other desirable plants whose roots extend into a treated crop use
|
||
area may be injured.
|
||
Carefully observe sprayer cleanup instructions, as spray tank residue may damage other crops.
|
||
For best results, maintain spray tank solution at pH 5 to 7.
|
||
If the selected companion herbicide has a ground or surface water advisory, follow the advisory as
|
||
directed when using the companion herbicide.
|
||
Tank mixing Matrix SG with organophosphate inse cticides in tomatoes may result in crop injury.
|
||
Naturally occurring weed biotypes that are resistant to ALS inhibitor herbicides will also be resistant to
|
||
Matrix SG (refer to Weed Resistance Management section)

- DO NOT use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
- DO NOT contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water that may be used on other
|
||
crops.
|
||
|

|
||
DO NOT apply using Air Assisted (Air Blast) field crop sprayers.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG, which contains the active ingredient rimsulfuron, 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 herbici des 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 rela tively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
Apply full rates of Matrix 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 esc apes 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 Corteva
|
||
Agriscience representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
Contact your Corteva Agriscience 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 contro lled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially
|
||
if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
A spreading patch of non-controlled pl ants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 15
|
||
|
||
Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of t he 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 herbic ides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 herbicides.
|
||
Avoid making more than two applications of Matr ix 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, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation,
|
||
cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment befor e leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
|
||
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 unless making a rangeland application, in which case applicators may apply
|
||
with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
|
||
For applications prior to the emergence of crop s and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicat ors 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 crop s and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicat ors are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wi ngspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
Applicators must use one-half swath displacem ent upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
|
||
applications.
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 16
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 specified 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.
|
||
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height w ill help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 17
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVIES
|
||
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is
|
||
used, read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If
|
||
using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will
|
||
function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the
|
||
Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
|
||
To broaden the weed control spectrum and /or extend the residual effectiveness of Matrix SG herbicide,
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with other registered herbicides affecting a different site of action (mode of
|
||
action) and/or adjuvants registered for use on the crops listed on Matrix SG labeling.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.

|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is most effective when applied preemergence or early postemergence to actively growing
|
||
weeds. If weeds have emerged at the time of application, use an adjuvant (non-ionic surfactant at 1
|
||
quart/100 gallons, or crop oil/methylated seed oil at 1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray mix) with Matrix SG
|
||
to improve foliar uptake and translocation.
|
||
|
||
To optimize residual weed control, Matrix SG must be moved into the soil via rainfall or overhead
|
||
irrigation. The best residual control is obtained when at least 0.5 inches of rain or overhead irrigation
|
||
comes within the first week after application.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply by air. Use ground application equipment only.
|
||
DO NOT use on soils classified as Sand.
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 4 ounces (0.0625 lb ai) of Matrix SG broadcast per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 1 broadcast application or 2 band applications per year.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 18
|
||
|
||
Allow a minimum of 30 days between band applic ations, except for yellow nutsedge the minimum
|
||
retreatment interval is 14 days.
|

application adjusted to provide complete coverage of the weeds while minimizing the amount of spray
|
||
coming into contact with the blueberry plants. Matrix SG may be applied twice per acre per year as a
|
||
banded treatment preemergence or postemergence at the 4 ounces (0.0625 lb ai) of product rate, per
|
||
conventional broadcast acre, at 50% banding or less. See below to calculate actual treatment area when
|
||
using band applications.

good health and vigor. For blackberries apply after plantings have gone through at least two growing
|
||
seasons and are in good health and vigor. See Use Precautions section below.
|
||
|
||
Crop Grown Stage
|
||
|
||
For Every-year Bearing Crops:
|
||
To reduce the risk of injury to primocanes, apply before primocanes emerge in the spring, or wait until
|
||
primocanes are approximately 3 feet tall or taller and make a directed application by adjusting the spray
|
||
nozzles so that only the lower 12 inches of primocanes are exposed to the herbicide spray pattern. For
|
||
blackberries that have trailing primocanes, apply before primocane emergence.
|
||
|
||
Alternate Year Bearing Crops:
|
||
Apply in the dormant period before canes start new growth or wait until new growth canes are several feet
|
||
tall so that a directed application can be used. To avoid crop injury, DO NOT apply over the top of canes
|
||
once new growth had started. Once canes are approximately 3 feet tall or taller, a directed application
|
||
can be used provided the spray nozzles are adjusted so that only lower 12 inches of canes are exposed
|
||
to the herbicide spray pattern.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied in tank mixture with other herbicides registered for use in caneberries. It is the
|
||
pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restriction and limitation and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each
|
||
product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
Use Precautions
|
||
|
||
If Matrix SG is applied over the top of emerged primocanes, injury to the primocanes may occur in the
|
||
form of chlorosis and/or stunting of primocane growth and in severe situations, individual primocanes may
|
||
die. To avoid injury to primocanes, apply before primocane emergence or wait until they are at least 3 feet
|
||
tall before making a directed spray so that only the bottom 12 inches of primocanes are exposed to the
|
||
herbicide spray pattern.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may cause damage to plants that are small and/or weak due to weed competition, poor soil
|
||
conditions, disease, insect damage or other factors that can reduce plant health and vigor.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may cause damage to plants growing in areas that are poorly drained, or areas that are subject
|
||
to saturated or anaerobic soil conditions for an extended period of time.

Apply only to crops that have been established for one full growing season and are in good health and
|
||
vigor.
|
||
|
||
Best results are obtained when the soil is moist at the time of application, and 1/2 inch of rainfall or
|
||
sprinkler irrigation occurs within 2 weeks after application. Time the application(s) to take advantage of
|
||
normal rainfall patterns and cool temperatures. Moisture for activation usually occurs within 2-3 weeks
|
||
after application.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may also be applied by certain chemigation methods, including micro-sprinkler. However, DO
|
||
NOT apply by overhead, flood, or drip irrigation.
|
||
|
||
Use Precautions
|
||
|
||
Direct sprays to minimize spray contact with fruit or foliage.
|
||
Avoid direct or indirect spray contact with crop foliage or fruit, except undesirable suckers.
|
||
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG by air or air blast sprayer.
|
||
Use ground application equipment only.
|
||
Degradation of Matrix SG may occur, so DO NOT use Matrix SG in a spray solution with a pH of
|
||
below 4.0 or above 8.0, or with spray additives that buffer the pH to below 4.0 or above 8.0
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 4 oz (0.0625 lb ai) of Matrix SG broadcast per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 1 broadcast application or 2 banded applications (at 50%) per year.
|
||
Allow a minimum of 30 days retreatment interval between band applications, except for yellow
|
||
nutsedge the minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
|
||
DO NOT apply on or near desirable trees/plants.

Rainfall or irrigation is needed for herbicide activation. Length of control is a function of moisture for
|
||
activation, soil temperature, soil texture and amount of moisture after application.
|
||
|
||
When weeds are present at application, include a labeled burndown herbicide, including glyphosate,
|
||
paraquat, or glufosinate, with an appropriate adjuvant. Matrix SG will help provide postemergence control
|
||
of the weeds listed in this label. For best results, make postemergence applications to young, actively
|
||
growing weeds and include a spray adjuvant.
|
||
|
||
Residual weed control may be reduced when Matrix SG is applied where heavy crop trash and/or weed
|
||
residue exists. Weed control may also be reduced when applications of Matrix SG are made to weeds
|
||
under stress from drought, excessive water, temperature extremes, disease or low humidity.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
|
||
COMMON DANDELION AND MALLOW: Matrix SG provides excellent preemergence control of common
|
||
dandelion and mallow germinating from seed. In high rainfall areas or where sprinkler irrigation is used, a
|
||
second application may be needed to extend residual control throughout the growing season. When
|
||
applications are made postemergence to these weeds, always add a suitable burndown herbicide (e.g.,
|
||
glyphosate or paraquat). Small and medium sized plants (up to 6 inches in diameter) are controlled by
|
||
postemergence applications of Matrix SG plus a burndown herbicide; however, plants that are larger than
|
||
6 inches in diameter may only be suppressed and may require a second application 4 to 6 weeks later.
|
||
|
||
MARESTAIL AND FLEABANE: Where marestail and fleabane are the target weeds, applications prior to
|
||
emergence provide best results. This may require a fall application to help prevent fall germinated
|
||
seedlings from becoming established during the winter. A foliar active herbicide with activity on fleabane
|
||
and marestail (e.g., paraquat, glyphosate, and/or glufosinate) must be tank mixed with Matrix SG for best
|
||
control and resistance management. After Fall application, a second application in the spring may be
|
||
required to provide extended weed control into the summer. Where Matrix SG is applied for control of
|
||
Marestail and Fleabane, it is also advised that another soil residual herbicide be included as a tank mix or
|
||
rotational partner to aid in resistance management.
|
||
|
||
PUNCTUREVINE: For best results, apply early in the spring when you can expect rainfall or overhead
|
||
irrigation to move Matrix SG into the weed root zone before puncturevine germinates. Puncturevine
|
||
emerges over a long period of time and late season germinations may not be controlled.
|
||
|
||
YELLOW NUTSEDGE: Matrix SG provides suppression of yellow nutsedge. To obtain the most effective
|
||
results, use the highest rate allowed based on the width of your spray band and make two applications.
|
||
For applications made postemergence to nutsedge, always add the appropriate rate of a glyphosate
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 23
|
||
|
||
product and an effective adjuvant. On soils with high organic matter (6% or higher), always apply
|
||
postemergence to weeds since preemergence applications are not as effective on these soils.
|
||
|
||
Application Timing - Yellow Nutsedge
|
||
|
||
Preemergence plus Early Postemergence: Make the preemergence application when you can expect
|
||
rainfall or overhead irrigation to move Matrix SG into the nutsedge root zone prior to nutsedge
|
||
emergence. Make a second application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall. Postemergence
|
||
plus second Postemergence: Make first application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall.
|
||
Repeat application 14 days later. Note: If yellow nutsedge is greater than 6 inches tall at the first
|
||
application, weed control effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
|
||
|
||
ANNUAL SUMMER GRASSES (including Barnyardgrass, Green foxtail, and Crabgrass): Where
|
||
sprinkler irrigation is used, a fall or early spring application of Matrix SG will not provide season-long
|
||
control of summer grasses like foxtail, barnyardgrass and crabgrass. For best results, use Matrix SG with
|
||
a suitable tank-mix herbicide, including indaziflam, flumioxazin, oxyfluorfen, oryzalin or pendimethalin. A
|
||
second application may be needed to provide extended control of summer grasses.
|
||
|
||
Diuron Containing Products (Washington and Oregon): On coarse textured soils where crops are
|
||
grown under sprinkler irrigation, avoid using diuron containing products as a tank-mix partner with Matrix
|
||
SG between June 1 and September 30 since crop injury may result. Matrix SG tank-mixed with diuron
|
||
products can be used in the fall (after September 30), or early spring when temperatures are cool to
|
||
moderate.
|
||
|
||
CROP ROTATION - Fruit, Nut, Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel Subgroup 23A,
|
||
Olive, Pomegranate and Vine Crops
|
||
|
||
Restriction: DO NOT plant any crops, except field corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and those listed on this
|
||
label in TABLE 1, within one year of the last Matrix SG application.
|
||
|
||
Prior to planting, fields to be rotated to the above crops need to have a thorough soil mixing - for example,
|
||
two diskings, or a plowing and a disking. To help ensure rotational crop safety, a field bioassay needs to
|
||
be completed prior to planting any other desired crops. The results of this bioassay may require the crop
|
||
rotation interval to be extended. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the
|
||
crop(s) intended for production. The test strip must cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.
|
||
|
||
MICRO-SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION - Fruit, Nut, Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel
|
||
Subgroup 23A, Olive, Pomegranate and Vine Crops
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied via micro-sprinkler chemigation. The 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 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 pesticide(s) and capable of being fitted with a system
|
||
interlock.

RESTRICTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION - Fruit, Nut, Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel
|
||
Subgroup 23A,Olive, Pomegranate and Vine Crops
|
||
|
||
When applying Matrix SG via chemigation to these crops, use micro-sprinkler equipment only.
|
||
DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for Matrix SG Herbicide application to a public water
|
||
system.
|
||
DO NOT permit run-off during chemigation.
|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION- Fruit, Nut, Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel
|
||
Subgroup 23A,Olive, Pomegranate and Vine Crops
|
||
|
||
Distributing treated water in an uneven manner can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or over-
|
||
tolerance pesticide residues in the crop. Therefore, to ensure that the mixture is applied evenly at the
|
||
labeled rate, use sufficient water, apply the mixture for the proper length of time and ensure sprinkler
|
||
produces a uniform water pattern.
|
||
Continuous agitation in the mix tank is needed to keep the product from settling. If settling does
|
||
occur, thoroughly agitate the tank mixture before using.
|
||
|
||
GRASS GROWN FOR SEED (OREGON, WASHINGTON)
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Use Matrix SG only in conjunction with carbon planted Perennial Ryegrass and Tall Fescue grown for
|
||
seed.
|
||
|
||
The activated carbon band over the seed row absorbs Matrix SG so that seedling grass germinating
|
||
beneath the carbon band is protected from the herbicide. The protection provided by the carbon band is
|
||
only as good as the width and integrity of the band.
|
||
|
||
Heavy and/or persistent rains after planting can cause deterioration of the carbon band allowing Matrix
|
||
SG to move into the grass root zone causing injury and/or stand loss. Standing water can also increase
|
||
the risk of Matrix SG moving vertically through the carbon band or laterally beneath the band.
|
||
|
||
Variability in seedbed preparation, and unpredictable environmental conditions, including heavy rain, can
|
||
compromise the protection provided by the carbon band. Therefore, to the extent consistent with
|
||
applicable law, the grower assumes all risks of crop injury and/or stand loss associated with the use of
|
||
Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG with properly calibrated ground equipment with good mechanical or by-pass agitation.
|
||
Only apply Matrix SG on early fall planted fields (refer to Use Precautions section) that have been
|
||
prepared with a smooth, fine seedbed that is firmly packed prior to planting.
|
||
|
||
During the planting operation, apply activated carbon at the label directed rate as long as that rate is not
|
||
lower than 300 lbs per acre. Apply the activated carbon in a band at least 1” wide centered over the seed
|
||
row. Use a minimum spray volume of 40 gallons per acre to apply the activated carbon.
|
||
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED - GRASS GROWN FOR SEED
|
||
|
||
In the area outside of the carbon band, Matrix SG will provide control of seedling annual bluegrass,
|
||
annual and perennial ryegrass, volunteer wheat, and roughstock bluegrass.
|
||
|
||
Note: Certain biotypes of diuron resistant annual bluegrass have shown reduced sensitivity to Matrix SG
|
||
and may not be adequately controlled. Where these biotypes are known to exist, apply Matrix SG in a
|
||
tank-mix with Kerb
|
||
® SC, a pronamide containing herbicide.
|
||
Some biotypes of annual bluegrass that are resistant to other herbicides have also shown reduced
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 25
|
||
|
||
sensitivity to Matrix SG. Where these biotypes are present, Matrix SG used alone will only provide
|
||
suppression.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXES WITH OTHER HERBICIDES
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG can be applied in a tank-mix with other pre-emergence herbicides, including Kerb
|
||
® SC or a
|
||
diuron containing herbicide, that are also registered for use in carbon planted grass grown for seed. It is
|
||
the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
USE RATE
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG at 3.0 ounces (0.0469 lb ai) per acre immediately (within 5 days) after carbon planting
|
||
and prior to grass emergence. In areas where there are biotypes of annual bluegrass that are resistant to
|
||
Matrix SG, apply Matrix SG in a tank-mix with Kerb
|
||
® SC. Make the application before grass emergence
|
||
while the carbon band is still intact. DO NOT apply Matrix SG if heavy rainfall or overhead irrigation has
|
||
caused dissipation of the carbon band. Best results are obtained when rainfall of 1/4 to 1/2”, or light,
|
||
frequent irrigation occurs, within two weeks after Matrix SG is applied.
|
||
|
||
If Matrix SG is being used on fields that are sprinkler irrigated, best practice is to irrigate before planting to
|
||
provide enough moisture for grass germination and then apply not more than 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water in
|
||
the first irrigation after Matrix SG is applied.
|
||
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
|
||
Where Matrix SG has been applied in the fall and stand loss has occurred over the winter; best practice is
|
||
to wait until soil temperatures are warm enough to support rapid germination (usually mid to late March)
|
||
before trying to replant grass in the spring.
|
||
|
||
Precautions
|
||
|
||
Crop injury and/or stand loss can occur in treated areas that have standing water.
|
||
Crop injury may occur in areas of fields where he avy residue from the previous crop makes it difficult
|
||
to form a smooth, fine seed bed.
|
||
Crop injury may occur in areas of spray overlap.
|
||
Crop injury may occur if the carbon band is less than 1” wide.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 3 oz (0.0469 lb ai) Matrix SG per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 1 application of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
When a tank mix of Matrix SG and with Kerb® SC is applied, DO NOT graze livestock in the treated
|
||
fields or cut treated fields for forage or hay for livestock feed for 180 days following application.
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
DO NOT use Matrix SG if heavy rainfall and/or overhead irrigation has caused deterioration of the
|
||
carbon band prior to application.
|
||
DO NOT use Matrix SG on fields that routinely have large areas of standing water.
|
||
After planting, prior to grass emergence, DO NOT use gun-type sprinklers or other types of overhead
|
||
irrigation that product large droplets that can displace the carbon band.
|
||
DO NOT use Matrix SG on fields that have enough slope to cause surface runoff.
|
||
To avoid herbicide injury related to late planted grass, DO NOT apply Matrix SG to fields planted after
|
||
October 31.
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG to fields with sandy or gravelly soil.

VEGETABLE, TUBEROUS AND CORM VEGETABLES, POTATOES
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Use Precautions
|
||
|
||
Crop injury can occur (leaf burn and temporary yellowing) when applications are made under high
|
||
temperatures. Addition of fungicides may increase the level of crop injury.
|
||
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry
|
||
conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed and may be more variable in weed control.
|
||
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG on potatoes within 30 days of harvest.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 2 applications of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
DO NOT exceed 2.5 ounces (0.0391 lb ai) Matrix SG per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT apply to sweet potatoes or yams.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply to potatoes growing in Greenhouses, Cold Frames, Pot cultures, etc. Apply only to
|
||
potatoes growing in fields.
|
||
|
||
PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
For best results, apply Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) product per acre, immediately
|
||
after hilling, drag-off, or reservoir tillage (dam/dike operation), to a clean, newly prepared seedbed.
|
||
|
||
To activate Matrix SG in the soil, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply sprinkler irrigation of
|
||
1/3 to 1" (sandy soils apply at least 1/3", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay
|
||
soils apply at least 1"), within 5 days after application, to move Matrix SG 2 to 3" deep into the soil profile.
|
||
Activating sprinkler irrigation is required regardless of the soil moisture level at planting, or the cumulative
|
||
precipitation that occurs over the next 5 days (unless rainfall occurs in a single event and equals the
|
||
activation moisture requirement). If rainfall or sprinkler activation cannot be managed, waiting for weeds
|
||
to emerge and applying Matrix SG postemergence would result in better weed control.
|
||
|
||
If a clean, newly prepared seedbed, free of emerged or germinating weeds does not occur, and weeds
|
||
are present at application, add a spray adjuvant to the spray mix (See the "Spray Adjuvant" section of this
|
||
label for additional information). Control may not be adequate for weeds that have an established root
|
||
system before activation of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXTURES - PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on potatoes, including EPTC,
|
||
pendimethalin, linuron, s-metolachlor (including CINCH® or EverpreX™), or glyphosate-containing
|
||
products registered for potatoes, in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above pesticide(s). If these
|
||
instructions conflict with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Matrix SG plus a Metribuzin Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix combination of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre and a
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 27
|
||
|
||
metribuzin herbicide at labeled rates for better control of such weeds as kochia, Russian thistle and
|
||
common lambsquarters. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared
|
||
seedbed, before potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow the metribuzin label for your
|
||
area.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG plus an EPTC Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre and EPTC herbicide at
|
||
labeled rates for better control of weeds including hairy nightshade and crabgrass. For best results apply
|
||
after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared seedbed, before potatoes emerge and weeds
|
||
germinate. Since the rates and incorporation methods of EPTC based herbicides vary by region, follow
|
||
the instructions for your region. It is advised to incorporate a tank mix of EPTC herbicide + Matrix SG
|
||
using irrigation, and not equipment, to prevent poor weed control from deep incorporation of the Matrix
|
||
SG.
|
||
|
||
If your area does not allow incorporation using irrigation, then apply EPTC herbicide and Matrix SG in a
|
||
split application. Read and follow both product labels for your area.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG plus a Pendimethalin Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix combination of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre and
|
||
pendimethalin herbicide at labeled rates for better control of such weeds as kochia, crabgrass, and
|
||
common lambsquarters. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared
|
||
seedbed, before potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow the pendimethalin herbicide
|
||
label for your area.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG plus a Linuron Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix combination of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre and a linuron
|
||
herbicide at labeled rates for better control of such weeds as common lambsquarters and common
|
||
ragweed. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly prepared seedbed, before
|
||
potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow the linuron herbicide label for your area.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG Plus a s-metolachlor Based Herbicide (including CINCH® or EverpreX™)
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix combination of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156 - 0.0234 lb ai) per acre and an s-
|
||
metolachlor herbicide (including CINCH® or EverpreX™) at labeled rates for better control of such weeds
|
||
as yellow nutsedge and black nightshade. For best results apply after hilling or drag-off to a clean, newly
|
||
prepared seedbed, before potatoes emerge and weeds germinate. Read and follow product labels for
|
||
your area.
|
||
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
For postemergence applications, apply Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156 - 0.0234 lb ai) per acre to
|
||
young, actively growing weeds after crop emergence. Typically, small weeds (less than 1" in height or
|
||
diameter) that are actively growing at application are most easily controlled (See the "Specific Weed
|
||
Problem" section of this label for more information).
|
||
|
||
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (including drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
|
||
temperatures, or extreme temperature variations), temporary chlorosis (lime green color) may occur after
|
||
application of Matrix SG. Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
|
||
|
||
For best results with Matrix SG postemergence, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/3 to 1" (sandy soils
|
||
apply at least 1/3", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay soils apply at least
|
||
1"), no sooner than 4 hours, but not more than 5 days after application, will activate Matrix SG in the soil
|
||
and help provide control of subsequent flushes of annual weeds.

||
TANK MIXTURES (POTATOES) - POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on potatoes (including "Eptam" 7E
|
||
and metribuzin based products) in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and
|
||
precautions. When tank mixing Matrix SG with another potato pesticide(s), read and follow all use
|
||
directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Matrix SG and the tank mix partner(s).
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above pesticide(s). If these
|
||
instructions conflict with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
|
||
each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG Plus Foliar Fungicides
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with other suitable registered fungicides on potatoes. including Curzate®
|
||
60DF (cymoxanil), mancozeb, and chlorothalonil fungicides at labeled rates.
|
||
|
||
Read and follow all manufacturer’s label instructions for the companion fungicide. If these instructions
|
||
conflict with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG Plus a Metribuzin Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply a tank mix combination of Matrix SG at 1 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre and a
|
||
metribuzin containing herbicide at labeled rates for improved weed control of such weeds as Russian
|
||
thistle and common lambsquarters. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.125 % v/v (1 pt/100 gal of water).
|
||
The addition of adjuvants to postemergence metribuzin applications may reduce crop safety. Use
|
||
adjuvants with caution.
|
||
|
||
When possible, avoid post emergence applications on metribuzin sensitive varieties or if the crop is under
|
||
stress. Read and follow both product labels for your area.
|
||
|
||
Note: The use of crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO) is not advised for tank mix
|
||
combinations with Matrix SG plus metribuzin.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG Plus an EPTC Based Herbicide
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG herbicide at 1 to 1.5 ounces (0.016-0.024 lb ai) per acre in tankmix with labeled rates of
|
||
EPTC herbicide. Include 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution) of either of a modified seed oil adjuvant
|
||
(MSO) or 0.5% v/v (0.5 gal per 100 gal spray solution) of a organo-silicone/modified seed oil blend
|
||
(OS/MSO ). Include 2 lb/acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS).
|
||
|
||
For best results, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/3 to 1" (sandy soils apply at least 1/3", sandy loams
|
||
apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1"), no sooner than 4 hours after
|
||
application, but not more than 1 day after application.
|
||
|
||
Additional EPTC herbicide can be added during the water-in process if desired (read and follow all use
|
||
directions, restrictions, and precautions on the EPTC product label before use. If these instructions
|
||
conflict with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG.)
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS - POTATOES
|
||
|
||
Depending upon rainfall or other environmental conditions, and the density of the top growth of the potato
|
||
variety (those with poor top growth including Norkotah), annual weeds may have a second flush of
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 29
|
||
|
||
germinating seedlings, and treated perennials may produce new growth from underground roots or
|
||
stems. To maximize control of such weeds, it may be necessary to apply Matrix SG a second time, 14 to
|
||
28 days after the first application (typically, make applications to small weeds that are less than 1" in
|
||
height or diameter that are actively growing). DO NOT make more than 2 applications, and the combined
|
||
rate of the applications cannot exceed 2.5 ounces (0.0391 lb ai) Matrix SG per acre.
|
||
|
||
POTATOES GROWN FOR SEED
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be used on potatoes grown for seed that use field grown tubers as the planted seed
|
||
piece, and are at least the progeny of the first field planting*.
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG by any of the following methods:
|
||
Preemergence 1.5 oz (0.0234 lb ai) per acre
|
||
Postemergence at 1.0 - 1.5 oz (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre
|
||
In a sequential application Preemergence at 1.0-1.5 oz (0.0156-0.0234 lb ai) per acre, followed by
|
||
Postemergence at 1.0 oz (0.0156 lb ai) per acre.
|
||
Postemergence at 1.0 oz (0.0156 lb ai) per acre followed by second Postemergence at 1.0 oz
|
||
(0.0156 lb ai) per acre.
|
||
|
||
To activate Matrix SG preemergence, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply sprinkler
|
||
irrigation of 1/3 - 1" (sandy soils apply at least 1/3", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least
|
||
3/4", clay soils apply at least 1"), within 5 days after application, to move Matrix SG 2 - 3" deep into the
|
||
soil profile.
|
||
|
||
Precautions
|
||
|
||
The rotational crop interval listed in the Matrix SG label may need to be extended to 18 months if
|
||
seed potato production practices decrease water and/or time for Matrix SG breakdown. Practices that
|
||
may shorten the breakdown are late planting or less frequent irrigations as compared to commercial
|
||
production practices. Potatoes can be planted at any time.
|
||
|
||
Consider informing your state seed certification agency or inspector that Matrix SG has been applied.
|
||
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (including drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
|
||
temperatures, or extreme temperature variations), temporary chlorosis (lime green color) may occur
|
||
after application. These symptoms may appear similar to virus like symptoms (including chlorosis,
|
||
leaf crinkling, pinching of terminal leaflet) but will usually disappear within 5 to 15 days of application.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT make more the 2 applications of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
DO NOT exceed 2.5 oz (0.0391 lb ai) of Matrix SG per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT apply to plants suffering stress from lack of moisture, cold, herbicide injury, and insect or
|
||
disease injury.
|
||
DO NOT use on potatoes grown for seed if these are grown from microtubers or transplants.
|
||
Depending on geography, these may be referred to as Generation 1, Nuclear, Elite 1, or Pre-Elite.
|
||
The rotational crop interval for Spring Barley is extended to 18 months due to the shorter growing
|
||
seasons and different cultural practices in seed production in the states of California, Idaho, Oregon,
|
||
Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, and parts of North Dakota**.
|
||
|
||
* First field planting utilizes laboratory tested stocks which may be tissue cultured plantlets, greenhouse
|
||
produced microtubers, minitubers, stem cuttings, or line selections.
|
||
|
||
**All counties in North Dakota except Pembina, Towner, Walsh, Grand Forks, Trail and Cass.

†See Specific Weed Problems
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
(Also read MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section)
|
||
|
||
- Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum
|
||
coverage at a minimum of 5 GPA. In California use a minimum of 10 GPA.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application Restrictions:
|
||
|
||
- DO NOT apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor
|
||
coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
|
||
- DO NOT apply by air in the state of California, except in Modoc or Siskiyou counties.
|
||
- DO NOT apply by air in the state of New York.
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION - POTATOES ONLY
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG can be applied using center pivot, lateral move, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems in
|
||
potatoes. DO NOT apply Matrix SG using any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
Check irrigation systems to insure uniform application of water to all areas. Failure to apply Matrix SG
|
||
uniformly may result in crop injury and/or poor weed control.
|
||
|
||
For best results, use the highest labeled rate and apply preemergence to early postemergence to the
|
||
weeds (weeds less than 1" tall). If weeds are present at application, add a nonionic surfactant containing
|
||
at least 80% active ingredient to the spray mix at 1 - 2 pt/acre.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be mixed in a supply tank with water, fertilizer, or other appropriate agricultural chemicals.
|
||
Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during application.
|
||
|
||
For solid set and hand move irrigation systems, apply Matrix SG at the beginning of the set and then
|
||
apply 1/3 - 1" of water for activation (sandy soils apply at least 1/3", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt
|
||
soils apply at least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1").
|
||
|
||
For center pivot and lateral move irrigation systems, apply Matrix SG in 1/3 - 1" of water for activation as
|
||
a continuous injection (sandy soils apply at least 1/3", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at
|
||
least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1").
|
||
|
||
If you have questions about calibrating chemigation equipment, contact State Extension Service
|
||
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. If the chemigation equipment needs adjustment,
|
||
only the custodian responsible for its operation, or someone under the supervision of that custodian, can
|
||
make the necessary adjustments.
|
||
|
||
IRRIGATION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
||
The irrigation system must contain the following:
|
||
a functional check valve
|
||
vacuum relief valve
|
||
a low pressure drain (to prevent water source contamination from backflow; must be located on the
|
||
irrigation pipeline)
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 32
|
||
|
||
functional interlocking controls (to automatically shut-off the pesticide injection pump when the water
|
||
pump motor stops)
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain the following:
|
||
a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valv e (to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the
|
||
injection pump)
|
||
a functional, solenoid-operated valve (normally clos ed) located on the intake side of the injection
|
||
pump (must be connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the
|
||
supply tank when the irrigation system is shut down either automatically or manually)
|
||
|
||
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump
|
||
motor when pesticide distribution is adversely affected by a decrease in water pressure.
|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION - POTATOES
|
||
|
||
Distributing treated water in an uneven manner can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or over-
|
||
tolerance pesticide residues in the crop. Therefore, to ensure that the mixture is applied evenly at the
|
||
labeled rate, use sufficient water, and apply the mixture for the proper length of time.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION -POTATOES
|
||
|
||
DO NOT permit run-off during chemigation.
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for Matrix SG application
|
||
to a public water system.
|
||
|
||
MATRIX SG ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS - POTATOES
|
||
|
||
For crops listed below, planting prior to the interval shown may result in crop injury when using Matrix SG.
|
||
Rotation intervals may need to be extended to 18 months if drought conditions prevail after application
|
||
and before the rotational crop is planted, unless supplemental sprinkler irrigation has been applied and

**For the select counties listed below in OR and WA where potatoes are grown under a minimum of 18 inches of sprinkler irrigation
|
||
per season, alfalfa may be rotated at 4 months after application. All other areas may be rotated to alfalfa at 18 months after
|
||
application. This rotation interval is for sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils having not more than 1.5% organic matter where a
|
||
minimum of 18 inches of sprinkler irrigation is used on the previous potato crop. Injury to the rotated crop may occur if less than 18
|
||
inches of irrigation is used on the previous potato crop. For tank mixtures, follow the most restrictive rotational crop guideline.
|
||
|
||
For Rotation to Alfalfa: Matrix SG in potatoes not to exceed 1 oz (0.0156 lb ai) per use year in Adams, Grant, Douglas and Lincoln
|

Use Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG within 45 days of tomato harvest.
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG by air on tomatoes.
|
||
DO NOT apply using assisted (Airblast) field crops sprayers on tomatoes.
|
||
DO NOT exceed 4.0 oz (0.0625 lb ai) Matrix SG per acre (broadcast basis) on tomatoes during the
|
||
same year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 3 applications broadcast of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
Banding applications of Matrix SG must not exceed 4.0 oz (0.0625 lb ai) on a broadcast basis in the
|
||
same year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 3 applications banded of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
DO NOT apply to tomatoes growing in Greenhouses, Cold Frames, Pot cultures, etc. Apply only to
|
||
tomatoes growing in fields.
|
||
DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
For preemergence applications to the crop, apply Matrix SG after seeding at 2.0 - 4.0 ounces (0.0313 -
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 34
|
||
|
||
0.0625 lb ai) product per acre.
|
||
|
||
To activate Matrix SG in the soil, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply sprinkler irrigation of
|
||
1/2 - 1" (sandy soils apply at least 1/2", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay
|
||
soils apply at least 1"), within 5 days after application, to move Matrix SG 2 - 3" deep into the soil profile.
|
||
Activating sprinkler irrigation is required regardless of the soil moisture level at planting, or the cumulative
|
||
precipitation that occurs over the next 5 days (unless rainfall occurs in a single event and equals the
|
||
activation moisture requirement). If rainfall or sprinkler activation cannot be managed, waiting for weeds
|
||
to emerge and applying Matrix SG postemergence may result in better weed control.
|
||
|
||
If a clean, newly prepared seedbed, free of emerged or germinating weeds does not occur, and weeds
|
||
are present at application, the addition of a spray adjuvant may improve weed control (See the "Spray
|
||
Adjuvant" section of this label for additional information). Control may not be adequate for weeds that are
|
||
greater than 1" in height or diameter or weeds that have an established root system before activation of
|
||
Matrix SG.

For postemergence applications, apply Matrix SG at 1.0 - 2.0 ounces (0.0156 - 0.0313 lb ai) product per
|
||
acre (use 2.0 ounces (0.0313 lb ai) per acre for longer residual) to young, actively growing weeds after
|
||
the crop has reached the cotyledon stage. Optimum performance is obtained when weeds are less than
|
||
1" in height or diameter and are actively growing.
|
||
|
||
Use a surfactant at a minimum rate of 0.25% v/v (2 pints/100 gallons of water). The use of crop oil
|
||
concentrate, methylated seed oils, nitrogen fertilizer solution or nonionic surfactant rates above 0.25% v/v
|
||
may result in temporary crop chlorosis. Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
|
||
|
||
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (including drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
|
||
temperatures, extreme temperature variations or saturated or water-logged soils), temporary crop
|
||
chlorosis may occur after application of Matrix SG. Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
|
||
|
||
For best results with Matrix SG postemergence, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/2 - 1" (sandy soils apply
|
||
at least 1/2", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1"), no
|
||
sooner than 4 hours, but not more than 5 days after application, will activate Matrix SG in the soil and
|
||
help provide control of subsequent flushes of annual weeds.
|
||
|
||
Make postemergence applications of Matrix SG after the tomatoes reach the cotyledon stage.
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS - TOMATOES
|
||
|
||
Annual weeds at times may have multiple flushes of seedlings, or treated weeds may sometimes regrow
|
||
from underground stems or roots, depending upon rainfall and other environmental conditions. To
|
||
maximize control of such weeds, it may be necessary to use sequential applications of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
PREEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
|
||
|
||
Applications of Matrix SG may be applied Preemergence followed by single or multiple applications
|
||
Postemergence.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions: For sequential applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces
|
||
(0.0625 lb ai) of product broadcast per acre per year. DO NOT make more than 3 broadcast applications
|
||
of Matrix SG per year.
|
||
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY SECOND POSTEMERGENCE
|
||
|
||
Multiple applications of Matrix SG may be applied postemergence, optimum control is seen when the first
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 35
|
||
|
||
application is made to small actively growing weeds, followed by a second application 7 to 14 days later.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions: For sequential applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces
|
||
(0.0625 lb ai) of product broadcast per acre per year. DO NOT make more than 2 applications of Matrix
|
||
SG broadcast per year.
|
||
|
||
BAND APPLICATIONS - TOMATOES
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG can be applied preemergence and postemergence as a banded application. Use proportionally less
|
||
spray mixture based on the soil area actually sprayed. See the "Preemergence Applications" and
|
||
"Postemergence Applications" sections of this label for additional details on the use of Matrix SG. See below to
|
||
calculate actual treated area when using band applications.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions: For band applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces (0.0625 lb ai)
|
||
product on a broadcast basis per acre per year. DO NOT make more than 3 band applications of Matrix SG
|
||
per year.

TANK MIXTURES - TOMATOES
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product
|
||
in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on tomatoes in accordance with the most
|
||
restrictive of label limitations and precautions. When tank mixing Matrix SG with another tomato pesticide(s),
|
||
read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Matrix SG and the tank mix partner(s).
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may also be used in three-way tank mix combinations with the above pesticide(s). If these
|
||
instructions conflict with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG. Tank mixtures with
|
||
products that lower the spray solution pH may reduce weed control (including LI700 surfactant).
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG Plus Foliar Fungicides
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be tank mixed with other suitable registered fungicides on tomatoes, including mancozeb and
|
||
chlorothalonil fungicide. Tank mixes with copper-containing fungicides may reduce weed control.
|
||
|
||
Read and follow all manufacturers’ label instructions for the companion fungicide. If these instructions conflict
|
||
with this Matrix SG label, DO NOT use as a tank mix with Matrix SG.
|

TOMATOES: CALIFORNIA
|
||
|
||
PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
For preemergence applications to the crop, apply Matrix SG after seeding at 2.0-4.0 ounces (0.0313 - 0.0625
|
||
lb ai) product per acre. To activate Matrix SG in the soil, supply moisture by a single rainfall event, or apply
|
||
sprinkler irrigation of 1/2 - 1" (sandy soils apply at least 1/2", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at
|
||
least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1"), within 5 days after application, to move Matrix SG 2 to 3" deep into the
|
||
soil profile. Activating sprinkler irrigation is required regardless of the soil moisture level at planting, or the
|
||
cumulative precipitation that occurs over the next 5 days (unless rainfall occurs in a single event and equals
|
||
the activation moisture requirement). If rainfall or sprinkler activation cannot be managed, waiting for weeds to
|
||
emerge and applying Matrix SG postemergence may result in better weed control.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 36
|
||
|
||
If a clean, newly prepared seedbed, free of emerged or germinating weeds does not occur, and weeds are
|
||
present at application, the addition of a spray adjuvant may improve weed control (See the "Spray Adjuvant"
|
||
section of this label for additional information). Control may not be adequate for weeds that are greater than 1"
|
||
in height or diameter or weeds that have an established root system before activation of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
For postemergence applications, apply Matrix SG at 2.0 ounces (0.0313 lb ai) product per acre to young,
|
||
actively growing weeds after the crop has reached the cotyledon stage. Optimum performance is obtained
|
||
when weeds are less than 1" in height or diameter and are actively growing.
|
||
|
||
Use a surfactant at a minimum rate of 0.25% v/v (2 pints/100 gallons of water). The use of crop oil concentrate,
|
||
methylated seed oils, nitrogen fertilizer solution or nonionic surfactant rates above 0.25% v/v may result in
|
||
temporary crop chlorosis (lime green color). Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
|
||
|
||
Under growing conditions that promote crop stress (including drought, frost, cold temperatures, high
|
||
temperatures, extreme temperature variations or saturated or water-logged soils), temporary crop chlorosis
|
||
(lime green color) may occur after application of Matrix SG. Symptoms usually disappear within 5 to 15 days.
|
||
|
||
For best results with Matrix SG postemergence, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation of 1/2 - 1" (sandy soils apply at
|
||
least 1/2", sandy loams apply at least 1/2", silt soils apply at least 3/4", clay soils apply at least 1"), no sooner
|
||
than 4 hours, but not more than 5 days after application, will activate Matrix SG in the soil and help provide
|
||
control of subsequent flushes of annual weeds.
|
||
|
||
Make postemergence applications of Matrix SG after the tomatoes reach the cotyledon stage.
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
Annual weeds at times may have multiple flushes of seedlings, or treated weeds may sometimes regrow from
|
||
underground stems or roots, depending upon rainfall and other environmental conditions. To maximize control
|
||
of such weeds, it may be necessary to use sequential applications of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
PREEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE
|
||
|
||
Applications of Matrix SG may be applied Preemergence followed by single or multiple applications
|
||
Postemergence.
|
||
|
||
Restriction: For sequential applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces (0.0625 lb
|
||
ai) product per acre per year on a broadcast basis.
|
||
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE FOLLOWED BY SECOND POSTEMERGENCE
|
||
|
||
Multiple applications of Matrix SG may be applied postemergence, optimum control is seen when the first
|
||
application is made to small actively growing weeds, followed by a second application 7 to 14 days later.
|
||
|
||
Restriction: For sequential applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces (0.0625 lb

|
||
|
||
BAND APPLICATIONS – TOMATOES:
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG can be applied in a preemergence band at 2.0 - 4.0 ounces (0.0313 - 0.0625 lb ai) product per acre
|
||
(For example, 0.5 - 1.0 ounces (0.0078 - 0.0156 lb ai) of product per conventional broadcast acre assuming
|
||
25% banding) followed by two separate postemergence band applications applied at 2 ounces (0.0313 lb ai).
|
||
product per acre (For example, 0.5 ounces (0.0078 lb ai) of product per conventional broadcast acre assuming
|
||
25% banding) over the same sprayed area.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 37
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG can be applied using three postemergence band applications at 2.0 ounces (0.0313 lb ai) product
|
||
per acre (For example, 0.5 ounces (0.0078 lb ai) of product per conventional broadcast acre assuming 25%
|
||
banding). See below to calculate actual treated area when using band applications.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions: For band applications, the total amount of Matrix SG cannot exceed 4.0 ounces (0.0625 lb ai)

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
|
||
Quackgrass: For best results, apply Matrix SG postemergence to quackgrass that is 4 to 8" tall. Quackgrass
|
||
not emerged at the time of application will not be controlled or suppressed, and would require a second
|
||
postemergence application for acceptable control.
|
||
|
||
Black Nightshade (Tomatoes): For best results, apply Matrix SG preemergence (prior to weed germination)
|
||
at 2 - 4 ounces (0.0313 - 0.0625 lb ai) per acre followed by a postemergence application at 1 - 2 ounces
|
||
(0.0156 - 0.0313 lb ai) per acre to small actively growing weeds.
|
||
|
||
Canada Thistle: For best results, apply Matrix SG postemergence to small actively growing Canada thistle.
|
||
Canada thistle not emerged at the time of application will not be controlled or suppressed, and would require a
|
||
second postemergence application for acceptable control.

MATRIX SG ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES - TOMATOES
|
||
|
||
For crops listed below, planting prior to the interval shown may result in crop injury when using Matrix SG.
|
||
Rotation intervals may need to be extended to 18 months if drought conditions prevail after application and
|
||
before the rotational crop is planted, unless supplemental sprinkler irrigation has been applied and totals
|
||
greater than 15" during the growing season. For tank mixtures, follow the most restrictive rotational crop
|
||
guideline.

|
||
Note: Where drip irrigated tomatoes are grown, rotate only to tomato, potato or field corn as crop injury may
|
||
result.
|
||
|
||
Rotational crops may be planted at indicated intervals provided the fields are deep disked or plowed, and
|
||
thorough soil mixing is achieved, prior to planting the rotational crop.
|
||
|
||
CULTIVATION
|
||
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond the maximum
|
||
size at application, or weeds that emerge after an application of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation up to 7 days before the postemergence ap plication of Matrix SG may decrease weed control by
|
||
pruning weed roots, placing the weeds under stress, or covering the weeds with soil and preventing
|
||
coverage by Matrix SG.
|
||
To allow Matrix SG to fully contro l treated weeds, cultivation is not advised for 7 days after application.
|
||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7 - 14 days after a postemergence application of Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
|
||
Include a spray adjuvant with applications of Matrix SG when applied by itself and postemergence to the
|
||
weeds. Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using an adjuvant
|
||
system. If another herbicide is tank mixed with Matrix SG, select adjuvants authorized for use with both
|
||
products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
|
||
Apply 0.125 - 0.25% v/v (1 - 2 pt/100 gal of water). Th e 0.25% v/v rate is preferred under arid or drought
|
||
conditions.
|
||
Surfactant products must contain at least 80% nonion ic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance
|
||
(HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
|
||
Apply at 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution), or 2% under arid conditions.
|
||
Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil
|
||
with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Blended products which contain both MSO and silicone are acceptable at labeled rates.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
|
||
Use 2 qt/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/acre of a
|
||
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/acre UAN or 4 lb/acre AMS under arid conditions.
|
||
DO NOT use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
|
||
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
|
||
Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS and
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
DO NOT use any other adjuvant rates or mixtures with Matrix SG unless instructed to do so on Corteva
|
||
Agriscience Technical Bulletins.
|
||
|
||
Precautions:
|
||
|
||
1. The use of silicone polymer type surfactants is not suggested as reduced weed control may result.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 40
|
||
|
||
2. Avoid using crop oil concentrate (COC) or methylat ed seed oil (MSO) when potatoes are under heat stress
|
||
(>85 degrees F) as multiple stresses may cause crop injury.
|
||
|
||
EQUIPMENT-SPRAY VOLUMES
|
||
|
||
Agitate the spray tank continuously to keep the material in suspension.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use equipment and/or spray volumes that will cause damage from spray by drift onto nontarget sites.
|
||
DO NOT make applications when weather conditions are likely to cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites.
|
||
(See the "Spray Drift Management" section of this label for additional information).
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION - POTATOES AND TOMATOES
|
||
|
||
To ensure optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, apply Matrix SG with a properly calibrated, low-
|
||
pressure (20 to 40 psi) boom sprayer equipped with flat fan nozzles, twin-style nozzles, underleaf banding
|
||
nozzles or flood jet nozzles. Nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. When using flood nozzles, the
|
||
spray pattern needs to overlap 100% for optimum product performance. For banded applications even flow flat
|
||
fan or twin jet spray nozzles may provide a more uniform spray distribution.
|
||
|
||
With ground application equipment, use enough water to deliver 10 - 40 gal total spray solution per acre. Avoid
|
||
overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, or injury to the crop may
|
||
result.
|
||
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
|
||
Spray equipment or nurse tanks used in chemigation, must be cleaned before Matrix SG is sprayed. Follow the
|
||
cleanup procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow
|
||
the 4 steps outlined in the "After Applying Matrix SG and Before Applying to Other Crops” section of this label.
|
||
|
||
For maximum preemergence activity, prior to application, the bed or soil surface must be smooth and relatively
|
||
free of crop and weed trash (dead weeds, decaying leaves, clippings, etc.). Leaves and trash may be removed
|
||
by blowing the area to be treated or by thoroughly mixing the trash into the soil through cultivation prior to
|
||
herbicide application. Cultural practices that result in redistribution or disturbance of the soil surface after
|
||
treatment will decrease the herbicidal effectiveness of Matrix SG. Cutting water furrows, or cultivations that mix
|
||
untreated soil into the treated areas, will also reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide treatment.
|
||
|
||
For best weed management apply Matrix SG with another suitable residual herbicide registered for that crop.
|
||
This is advised for all soil types, but especially so for coarse textured soils under standard sprinklers or micro-
|
||
sprinklers.
|
||
|
||
More than one banded application of Matrix SG may be needed to provide extended weed control.
|
||
|
||
CORN, FIELD (CALIFORNIA)
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is a selective herbicide for burndown and residual control of certain annual grass and broadleaf
|
||
weeds weeds when applied fallow, preemergence and postemergence to field corn. Matrix SG may be applied
|
||
in tank mix combinations with other corn herbicides for improved burndown and residual control. Residual
|
||
weed control is dependent on rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, flood irrigation or furrow irrigation for herbicide
|
||
activation. Furrow irrigation may not provide proper activation on tops of beds if rainfall or furrow irrigation does
|
||
not drive Matrix SG into the soil and weed root zones.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible
|
||
weeds. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move Matrix SG into the soil. Susceptible weeds will
|
||
generally not emerge from a preemergence application. In some cases, susceptible weeds may germinate and
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 41
|
||
|
||
emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases and leaves become chlorotic three to five days
|
||
after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain
|
||
green, stunted and noncompetitive.
|
||
|
||
The herbicidal action of Matrix SG may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental
|
||
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG treatments are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall or irrigation is received 5 -
|
||
7 days after application. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction or weed
|
||
germination before rain or irrigation occurs, use shallow tillage, including a rotary hoe, to lightly incorporate
|
||
Matrix SG and make certain corn seeds are below the tilled area.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is best used in a planned sequential application herbicide program, to be followed by an in-crop
|
||
application of Matrix SG, and/or other post applied corn herbicides. Refer to the label of the respective
|
||
sequential partner for specific use directions.
|
||
|
||
Allow at least 4 weeks between preemergence applications of Matrix SG and postemergence applications of
|
||
Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Make sequential applications after the corn has reached the 2-collar (V2) stage but before the corn exceeds
|
||
the maximum application height listed on the respective product labels.
|
||
|
||
Avoid making preemergence applications to coarse-textured soils (sand, loamy sand or sandy loam) with less
|
||
than 1% organic matter as crop injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG to field corn hybrids with a relative maturity (RM) of 77 days or more, including “food grade”
|
||
(yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy and High-Oil corn. Not all field corn hybrids of less than 77 days RM, not
|
||
all white corn hybrids nor Hi-Lysine hybrids have been tested for crop safety, nor does Corteva Agriscience
|
||
have access to all seed company data.
|
||
|
||
Consequently, to the extent consistent with applicable law, injury arising from the use of Matrix SG on these
|
||
types of corn is the responsibility of the user. Consult with your seed supplier before applying Matrix SG to any
|
||
of these corn types. Seed company publications indicate “Warning”, “Crop Response Warning”, or “Sensitive”
|
||
notations for the use of some ALS inhibitor (Group 2) herbicides on corn hybrids of 77 CRM or higher. As
|
||
noted in the seed company publications, sulfonylurea herbicides, including Matrix SG, must be used with
|
||
caution on these hybrids. Consult with your local Corteva Agriscience representative for any additional
|
||
information relative to potential corn hybrid sensitivity to Matrix SG.
|

|
||
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
|

|
||
WHEN TO APPLY- Preemergence to the Crop
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied preemergence or preplant to corn. Applications of Matrix SG made before weed
|
||
emergence will provide residual control of labeled weeds. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of
|
||
spray adjuvants as noted below.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 42
|
||
|
||
Preemergence Rates
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied at 1.0 - 1.5 ounces (0.0156 - 0.0234 lb ai) product before corn emergence. See Use
|
||
Restrictions below for rimsulfuron rate limitations.
|
||
|
||
Timing to Crop
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG herbicide may be used in either conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till crop management
|
||
systems, and may be applied either preplant, preplant incorporated (less than 2” deep) or preemergence for
|
||
use in field corn production. Applications of Matrix SG made before weed emergence will provide residual
|
||
control of labeled weeds. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray adjuvants as noted in this
|
||
label.
|
||
|
||
Preplant Surface Applied
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG is best used in a planned sequential application program, followed by Matrix SG and/or other post
|
||
applied corn herbicides. Refer to the label of the respective sequential partner for specific use directions.
|
||
|
||
Preplant/Preemergence Burndown
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG when weeds are young and actively growing but before they exceed the sizes listed on this
|
||
label. When weeds exceed listed maximum height or weeds not controlled by Matrix SG are present, the
|
||
addition of a burndown herbicide containing glyphosate, paraquat, dicamba, and/or 2,4-D is advised. If giant
|
||
ragweed, common cocklebur, henbit, Pennsylvania smartweed or purple deadnettle are present at the time of
|
||
application, the addition of atrazine will improve control. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and
|
||
directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions
|
||
for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. When mixing with liquid nitrogen
|
||
fertilizer or glyphosate, substitute a non-ionic surfactant for crop oil.
|
||
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY - Postemergence to the Crop
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG to corn that is up to 12 inches tall or exhibiting 6 or more leaf collars (V6), whichever is more
|
||
restrictive.
|
||
|
||
Applications of Matrix SG made after weed emergence will provide contact control of labeled weeds as well as
|
||
limited residual control of later emergence.
|
||
Postemergence Rates
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG at 0.5 - 1.0 ounces (0.0078 - 0.0156 lb ai) per acre as a postemergence broadcast
|
||
application. Use the 1 ounce (0.0156 lb ai) per acre rate for most postemergence applications. See Use
|
||
Restrictions below for cumulative rimsulfuron rate limitations.
|
||
|
||
Timing to Emerged Weeds
|
||
|
||
Tank mixtures of Matrix SG with glyphosate or glufosinate herbicides may be applied after weeds emerge
|
||
but before they reach the maximum size listed on the glyphosate or glufosinate herbicide labels.
|
||
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. Rainfall or irrigation within 5 - 7 days after
|
||
application will enhance Matrix SG residual activity. If activating rainfall, flood, furrow or sprinkler irrigation
|
||
(>0.5 inch) is not received within 5 - 7 days after application, follow with a cultivation or with a sequential
|
||
application of a nicosulfuron containing herbicide, if needed.
|
||
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
|
||
For control of emerged weeds, application of Matrix SG must include an appropriate adjuvant and an
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. If applied in tank mix combination with a glyphosate or glufosinate herbicide that
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 43
|
||
|
||
contains a built-in adjuvant system, no additional surfactant needs to be added. Products must contain only
|
||
EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
|
||
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 Matrix SG.
|
||
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
|
||
Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
|
||
MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) if specifically noted on
|
||
adjuvant product labeling.
|
||
Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil
|
||
with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
|
||
Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution).
|
||
Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonion ic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance
|
||
(HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
|
||
Use 2 qt/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrat e (UAN) including 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/acre of a
|
||
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS).
|
||
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
|
||
Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS and
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Mixing Instructions
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG must be completely dissolved in clean water before adding to spray tanks that DO NOT have
|
||
continuous agitation during loading and mixing.
|
||
|
||
Water Carrier Instructions
|
||
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Matrix SG.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the Matrix SG is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the Matrix SG is fully dissolved, mainta in agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners and t hen add the required volume of spray adjuvant. Always
|
||
add spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used.
|
||
6. Dispersed tank mix part ners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated. If settling occurs,
|
||
thoroughly re- agitate before using.
|
||
7. Apply Matrix SG spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If Matrix SG and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the Matrix SG in clean
|
||
water prior to adding to the tank.
|
||
|
||
If the selected companion herbicides has a ground water advisory, consider this advisory when using the
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 47
|
||
|
||
companion herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Application and Spray Volumes
|
||
|
||
Ground
|
||
|
||
Use a minimum spray volume of 15 gallons per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the
|
||
best performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds.
|
||
|
||
For optimal product performance and minimal spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray
|
||
height specified in manufacturers’ specifications. Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an
|
||
excessive rate directly over the rows and into the corn plant whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and
|
||
turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Use Precautions
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may interact with certain insecticides pr eviously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with
|
||
field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods, and soil type.
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied to corn previously treated with non-organophosphate soil insecticides
|
||
regardless of soil type.
|
||
Allow at least 60 days between a preplant or preem ergence application of Matrix SG and application of
|
||
organophosphate insecticide since crop injury may result.
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of Matrix SG if there is a prolonged period of cold weather
|
||
and / or in conjunction with wet soils.
|
||
Prevent drift or spray onto desirable plants.
|
||
Thoroughly clean application equipm ent immediately after use.
|
||
|
||
ADDITIONAL USE INFORMATION - ALL CROPS MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

|
||
the companion herbicide.
|
||
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before Matrix SG is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified
|
||
on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the steps outlined in the
|
||
"After Spraying Matrix SG and before Spraying Other Crops" section of this label.
|
||
|
||
At the End of the Day
|
||
|
||
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of Matrix SG
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 48
|
||
|
||
herbicide, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses,
|
||
and allow to sit overnight. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits from accumulating in the
|
||
application equipment.
|
||
|
||
After Applying Matrix SG and Before Applying to Other Crops
|
||
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
|
||
following applications of Matrix SG as follows:
|
||
|
||
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
|
||
2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimu m 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 s eparately in a bucket containing water.
|
||
|
||
The rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) listed 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 waste disposal facility.
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
3. When Matrix SG is tank mixed with other pesti cides, all cleanout procedures for each product must be
|
||
examined and the most rigorous procedure must be followed.
|
||
4. Follow any pre-cleanout guidelines specified on other product labels.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Apply Matrix SG as a uniform broadcast application to the orchard or vineyard floor or as a uniform band
|
||
application directed at the base of the trunk or vine.
|
||
|
||
For broadcast applications, make a single application of Matrix SG at 4 ounces (0.0625 lb ai) per acre per
|
||
year. For improved weed management, Matrix SG may be applied in tank mixture with other registered
|
||
preemergence herbicides.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied twice per acre per year as a banded treatment preemergence or
|
||
postemergence at the 4 ounces (0.0625 lb ai) of product rate, per conventional broadcast acre, at 50%
|
||
banding or less. See below to calculate actual treated area when using band applications.
|
||
|
||
Band Width (inches) x Rate per Broadcast Acre = Amount Matrix SG Band Applied per Acre
|
||
Row Width (inches)
|
||
|
||
To help ensure uniform coverage, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Nozzle
|
||
selection must meet manufacture’s spray volume and pressure instructions for preemergence or
|
||
postemergence herbicide applications.
|
||
|
||
Apply only to crops that have been established for one full growing season and are in good health and
|
||
vigor.
|
||
|
||
Best results are obtained when the soil is moist at the time of application, and 1/2 inch of rainfall or
|
||
sprinkler irrigation occurs within 2 weeks after application. Time the application(s) to take advantage of
|
||
normal rainfall patterns and cool temperatures. Moisture for activation usually occurs within 2-3 weeks
|
||
after application.
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may also be applied by certain chemigation methods, including micro-sprinkler. However, DO
|
||
NOT apply by overhead, flood, or drip irrigation.
|
||
|
||
Use Precautions
|
||
|
||
Direct sprays to minimize spray contact with fruit or foliage.
|
||
Avoid direct or indirect spray contact with crop foliage or fruit, except undesirable suckers.
|
||
|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply Matrix SG by air or air blast sprayer.
|
||
Use ground application equipment only.
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 4
|
||
|
||
Degradation of Matrix SG may occur, so DO NOT use Matrix SG in a spray solution with a pH of
|
||
below 4.0 or above 8.0, or with spray additives that buffer the pH to below 4.0 or above 8.0
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 4 oz (0.0625 lb ai) of Matrix SG broadcast per acre per year.
|
||
DO NOT make more than 1 broadcast application or 2 banded applications (at 50%) per year.
|
||
Allow a minimum of 30 days retreatment interval between band applications, except for yellow
|
||
nutsedge the minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
|
||
DO NOT apply on or near desirable trees/plants.
|
||
|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED - TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL, SMALL FRUIT, EDIBLE
|
||
PEEL SUBGROUP 23A, OLIVES, AND POMEGRANTES
|
||
|
||
Rainfall or irrigation is needed for herbicide activation. Length of control is a function of moisture for
|
||
activation, soil temperature, soil texture and amount of moisture after application.
|
||
|
||
When weeds are present at application, include a labeled burndown herbicide, including glyphosate,
|
||
paraquat, or glufosinate, with an appropriate adjuvant. Matrix SG will help provide postemergence control
|
||
of the weeds listed in this label. For best results, make postemergence applications to young, actively
|
||
growing weeds and include a spray adjuvant.
|
||
|
||
Residual weed control may be reduced when Matrix SG is applied where heavy crop trash and/or weed
|
||
residue exists. Weed control may also be reduced when applications of Matrix SG are made to weeds
|
||
under stress from drought, excessive water, temperature extremes, disease or low humidity.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
|
||
COMMON DANDELION AND MALLOW: Matrix SG provides excellent preemergence control of common
|
||
dandelion and mallow germinating from seed. In high rainfall areas or where sprinkler irrigation is used, a
|
||
second application may be needed to extend residual control throughout the growing season. When
|
||
applications are made postemergence to these weeds, always add a suitable burndown herbicide (e.g.,
|
||
glyphosate or paraquat). Small and medium sized plants (up to 6 inches in diameter) are controlled by
|
||
postemergence applications of Matrix SG plus a burndown herbicide; however, plants that are larger than
|
||
6 inches in diameter may only be suppressed and may require a second application 4 to 6 weeks later.
|
||
|
||
MARESTAIL AND FLEABANE: Where marestail and fleabane are the target weeds, applications prior to
|
||
emergence provide best results. This may require a fall application to help prevent fall germinated
|
||
seedlings from becoming established during the winter. A foliar active herbicide with activity on fleabane
|
||
and marestail (e.g., paraquat, glyphosate, and/or glufosinate) must be tank mixed with Matrix SG for best
|
||
control and resistance management. After Fall application, a second application in the spring may be
|
||
required to provide extended weed control into the summer. Where Matrix SG is applied for control of
|
||
Marestail and Fleabane, it is also advised that another soil residual herbicide be included as a tank mix or
|
||
rotational partner to aid in resistance management.
|
||
|
||
PUNCTUREVINE: For best results, apply early in the spring when you can expect rainfall or overhead
|
||
irrigation to move Matrix SG into the weed root zone before puncturevine germinates. Puncturevine
|
||
emerges over a long period of time and late season germinations may not be controlled.
|
||
|
||
YELLOW NUTSEDGE: Matrix SG provides suppression of yellow nutsedge. To obtain the most effective
|
||
results, use the highest rate allowed based on the width of your spray band and make two applications.
|
||
For applications made postemergence to nutsedge, always add the appropriate rate of a glyphosate
|
||
|
||
E96 / Matrix SG / MSTR / Amend / 01-18-23 Page 6
|
||
|
||
product and an effective adjuvant. On soils with high organic matter (6% or higher), always apply
|
||
postemergence to weeds since preemergence applications are not as effective on these soils.
|
||
Application Timing - Yellow Nutsedge
|
||
|
||
Preemergence plus Early Postemergence: Make the preemergence application when you can expect
|
||
rainfall or overhead irrigation to move Matrix SG into the nutsedge root zone prior to nutsedge
|
||
emergence. Make a second application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall. Postemergence
|
||
plus second Postemergence: Make first application when emerging nutsedge is 2 to 4 inches tall.
|
||
Repeat application 14 days later. Note: If yellow nutsedge is greater than 6 inches tall at the first
|
||
application, weed control effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
|
||
|
||
ANNUAL SUMMER GRASSES (including Barnyardgrass, Green foxtail, and Crabgrass): Where
|
||
sprinkler irrigation is used, a fall or early spring application of Matrix SG will not provide season-long
|
||
control of summer grasses like foxtail, barnyardgrass and crabgrass. For best results, use Matrix SG with
|
||
a suitable tank-mix herbicide, including indaziflam, flumioxazin, oxyfluorfen, oryzalin or pendimethalin. A
|
||
second application may be needed to provide extended control of summer grasses.
|
||
|
||
Diuron Containing Products (Washington and Oregon): On coarse textured soils where crops are
|
||
grown under sprinkler irrigation, avoid using diuron containing products as a tank-mix partner with Matrix
|
||
SG between June 1 and September 30 since crop injury may result. Matrix SG tank-mixed with diuron
|
||
products can be used in the fall (after September 30), or early spring when temperatures are cool to
|
||
moderate.
|
||
|
||
CROP ROTATION - Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel Subgroup 23A, Olive and
|
||
Pomegranate
|
||
|
||
Restriction: DO NOT plant any crops, except field corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and those listed on this
|
||
label in TABLE 1, within one year of the last Matrix SG application.
|
||
|
||
Prior to planting, fields to be rotated to the above crops need to have a thorough soil mixing - for example,
|
||
two diskings, or a plowing and a disking. To help ensure rotational crop safety, a field bioassay needs to
|
||
be completed prior to planting any other desired crops. The results of this bioassay may require the crop
|
||
rotation interval to be extended. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the
|
||
crop(s) intended for production. The test strip must cross the entire field including knolls and low areas.
|
||
|
||
MICRO-SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION - Tropical and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Edible Peel Subgroup
|
||
23A, Olive and Pomegranate
|
||
|
||
Matrix SG may be applied via micro-sprinkler chemigation. The 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 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 pesticide(s) and capable of being fitted with a system
|
||
interlock.
