DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ herbicide must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label, in separately published
DuPont instructions (Supplemental Labels, Special Local Need Registrations, FIFRA Section 18 exemptions, FIFRA 2(ee)
Bulletins), or as otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire label, including the Limitation of Warranty and
Liability.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
DILIGENT™ herbicide is a dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective burndown
and residual weed control in soybeans with Bolt™ technology. When applied according to the instructions on this label, it
will control many broadleaf weeds and provide partial control of nutsedge and annual grasses.
Crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils under cool, wet conditions. Risk of crop injury can
be minimized by not using on poorly drained soils, planting at least 1.5 inches deep and completely covering seeds with
soil prior to preemergence applications.
Residual applications of DILIGENT™ require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide. Degree of control
and duration of effect depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and following time of treatment, soil pH,
texture, organic matter, moisture and precipitation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about
personal protective equipment(PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this
product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
Coveralls.
Chemical resistant gloves made of any water proof material such as polyethylene or polyvinylchloride.
Shoes plus socks.

ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR part 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Important: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified
above for "Applicators and Other Handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a
spill or equipment breakdown.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to non-target plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target
plants and aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when
weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
This pesticide is toxic to plants and should be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run off precautions on this label
in order to minimize off site exposures. 
Under some conditions this product may have a potential to run off to surface water or adjacent land. Where possible, use
methods which reduce soil erosion, such as no till, limited till and contour plowing; these methods also reduce pesticide
run off. Use of vegetation filter strips along rivers, creeks, streams, wetlands or on the downhill side of fields where run
off could occur will minimize water run off and is recommended. 
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on
clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Best residual control is obtained if DuPont™ DILIGENT™ is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation
(~1”) before weeds germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4” each are not as beneficial as one large rainfall of
1/2-1”. On dry soil, more moisture is required for activation (1-2”) before weed emergence. If moisture is insufficient to
activate the herbicide, a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are
small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. Deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of DILIGENT™ and
should be avoided.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
DILIGENT™ has two modes of action and rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weed species. Following application
of preplant or preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves
become yellow and/or brown by 3-5 days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some
species while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. Following a burndown application, growth of
susceptible weeds ceases followed by tissue yellowing and browning and death of the growing point. DILIGENT™
provides partial control of some annual grasses when used preplant or preemergence but other products may be needed to
ensure adequate grass control. When used for burndown, DILIGENT™ is rainfast after one hour.
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS
• Because most crops are highly sensitive to DILIGENT™, all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) to crops or to
land scheduled to be planted to crops other than soybeans with Bolt™ technology must be avoided.
• Do not apply to emerged soybeans.
• Do not apply to frozen ground.
• Do not contaminate any body of water. 
• Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage.
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not graze treated fields or harvest for forage or hay.
• Low pressure and high volume hand wand equipment is prohibited.
• Do not irrigate when soybeans are cracking.
• Refer to the "Aerial Application" section of this label for additional restrictions.
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixing/loading station.
• Do not mix/load, or use within 50 feet of all wells included abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes.
• Do not apply within 300 yards of non-dormant pears.
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
• Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may
extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas.
• Do not allow sprays to drift to desirable plants.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
• If a soybean variety is suspected of being sensitive to flumioxazin, check with the soybean seed company before treating
a field of that soybean variety with DILIGENT™ (contains flumioxazin).
• Soybean stunting may occur if excessive rainfall occurs after application but before soybeans germinate. Injury is more
prevalent under poor drainage or compacted conditions or when soil is saturated for long periods of time.
• Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or
drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase possibility of crop injury.
Excessive rainfall received in a short period of time following the emergence of soybeans treated with a preplant or
preemergence application of DuPont™ DILIGENT™ herbicide may cause minor leaf burn, crinkling, or defoliation of
some lower leaves of the soybean plants. 
During the growing season, excessive periods of rainfall and cool, cloudy weather may cause temporary soybean
stunting. Soybeans rapidly outgrow stunting once favorable (sunny, warm temperatures) conditions return.

• Thoroughly clean DuPont™ DILIGENT™ from application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops
other than soybeans. Failure to remove even small amounts of DILIGENT™ from application equipment may result in
injury to subsequently sprayed crops. 
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
• Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses.
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
Prior to using DILIGENT™ herbicide, consideration should be given to crop rotation plans. Crops other than soybeans
may be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of DILIGENT™ remaining in the soil the next planting season. Choice of
rotation crop is restricted following application of DILIGENT™. (See "ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES" for your
geographical region.) 
Thoroughly clean DILIGENT™ from application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops other than
soybeans. Failure to remove even small amounts of DILIGENT™ from application equipment may result in injury to
subsequently sprayed crops.
RESISTANCE
DILIGENT™, which contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron, chlorimuron-ethyl, and flumioxazin, is both a Group 2 and
a Group 14 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. When
herbicides with mode of action classifications that affect the same biological sites of action are used repeatedly over several
years to control the same weed species in the same treatment area, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that area. Adequate control of these resistant weed
biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product
affecting a different biological site of action. 
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed
biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of
tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that affect a different site of action. Weed
escapes that are allowed to go to seed, and movement of plant material between treatment areas on equipment will promote
the spread of resistant biotypes. 
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and
dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural
extension service representative to determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weed biotypes in your area.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and
genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other
detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other
qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your
area.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Prior to choosing appropriate rate and application timings for DILIGENT™ give careful consideration to geographic use
regions, additional herbicides that may be applied to the field, and potential rotational crops noted in the REGIONAL RATE
DIRECTIONS and ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINE section of this label.

FOR USE ON SOYBEANS WITH BOLT™ TECHNOLOGY
Timing to Crop Stage
DILIGENT™ may be applied pre-plant in the fall or spring or anytime up to 3 days after planting. Applications of
DILIGENT™ made before weed emergence will provide residual control of labeled weeds. Burndown applications of
DILIGENT™ made in the fall or early spring will control emerged winter annual weeds and will provide residual control to
help prepare a clean seed bed for planting in the spring. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray
adjuvants as noted in SPRAY ADUV ANTS. 
Use Rates
Apply DILIGENT™ at 4-6 oz/acre before soybean emergence. See cumulative active ingredient rate limitations noted
above. For most applications, apply at 4 oz/acre. Consult REGIONAL DIRECTIONS and separate supplemental labeling
or DuPont technical bulletins for additional use rate directions.

PLANNED SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMS
For season-long control in soybeans with BOLT™ technology, follow DuPont™ DILIGENT™ with an in-season
glyphosate-containing herbicide.
Where appropriate, and following guidance provided by labeling, add DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP or DuPont™
CLASSIC® to this in-season glyphosate application for enhanced broadleaf and sedge control. 
To ensure maximal rotational flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
herbicides containing chlorimuron ethyl, such as CLASSIC® or SYNCHRONY® XP, carefully consider: the soil pH, the
instructions below, and the Rotational Crop Guidelines in this label.
Weeds Controlled
Fall or Spring Burndown of Emerged Weeds
DILIGENT™ is actively taken up by the foliage of susceptible weeds. Target applications onto 1-4" weeds for best results.
Applications of DILIGENT™ made after weed emergence will provide contact control of labeled weeds as well as limited
residual control of later emergence. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray adjuvants as noted below.
For the best burndown results, the addition of 2,4-D LVE is recommended, and is required for control of some weeds.
For burndown of larger annual grasses or broadleaf weeds or for burndown of weeds not listed, DILIGENT™ may be
tankmixed with herbicides such as DuPont™ ASSURE® II, DuPont™ EXPRESS® brands, DuPont™ PANOFLEX™
herbicide, dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, saflufenacil* or 2,4-D (LVE).

Spray Additives
Applications of DuPont™ DILIGENT™ used for burndown must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic
surfactant. Crop oil concentrate is the required adjuvant system unless tank mixing with a product that does not allow use
of crop oil concentrate. 
Consult local DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another
herbicide is tank mixed with DILIGENT™, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Adjuvants must contain
only EPA-exempt ingredients.
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution).
• 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 qt per 100 gal spray solution).
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater
than 12.
Tank Mixtures
Other than chloroacetamide-containing products noted below, DILIGENT™ may be tank mixed with other products
registered for use in soybeans. 
DILIGENT™ may be applied in tank mix combinations with full or reduced rates of other products provided:
• The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use restrictions as
DILIGENT™.
• The tank mix is not specifically prohibited on the label of the tank mix product.
• The tank mix combination is compatible as determined by a “jar test” described in the TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY
TESTING section below.
Read and follow all label instructions on timing; precautions and warnings when tank mixing Diligent. Follow the most
restricive labeling.
Weed control and crop safety resulting from the use of tank mixtures not specifically noted on this label, or in separately
published DuPont information, are the responsibility of the user. 
TANK MIX COMPATABILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of DILIGENT™ and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart
jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times
and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers,
or other precipitates, it is not compatible.
- Do not tank mix DILIGENT™ herbicide with acetochlor (“Warrant”), alachlor (“Micro-Tech”), flufenacet
(“Axiom”, “Domain”), metolachlor (DuPont™ CINCH® herbicide, “Dual Magnum”, “Dual II Magnum”,
“Boundary”) or dimethenamid (“Frontier” or “Outlook”) within 14 days of planting soybeans, unless
soybeans are planted under notill or minimum tillage conditions on wheat stubble or no-till field corn stubble.

Planned Sequential Programs
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ applied in the in the spring will not provide season-long preemergence control of annual grasses
and broadleaf weeds.
• For season-long control follow DILIGENT™ with sequential programs based on the targeted weeds.
To ensure maximal rotational flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
preemergence herbicides containing chlorimuron-ethyl, such as DuPont™ ENVIVE®, or DuPont™ ENLITE®, or
postemergence herbicides such as DuPont™ CLASSIC® or DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP, carefully consider the soil pH,
the recommendations below, and the Rotational Crop Guidelines in this label.

ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES
To ensure maximal rotational crop flexibility when considering a sequential program of DILIGENT™ followed by other
products containing the active ingredients found in DILIGENT™, give careful consideration to the soil pH and the
Rotational Crop Guidelines noted in this label. The combined total rate of chlorimuron-ethyl derived from DILIGENT™
plus all other herbicides applied to the field is an important factor in determining re-crop intervals. 
Typical use rates of chlorimuron-ethyl-containing herbicides and the corresponding amount of active ingredient they
contain are noted below. Actual use rates and combined total amounts of chlorimuron-ethyl must be determined prior to
using the re-crop tables.

When used as described in the Central Region section of this label, or the Southern section of this label, the Rotational
Interval Table describes the minimum length in months from the time of DILIGENT™ application until DILIGENT™
treated soil can be replanted to the crops listed in the table. For fall applications, begin counting the re-cropping interval
from the normal spring planting time for soybeans in your area. 
For sequential programs using chlorimuron-ethyl-containing herbicides (such as CANOPY® EX, CLASSIC®, or
SYNCHRONY® XP) do not exceed a sum total of 0.82 ounce active ingredient per acre chlorimuron-ethyl in the
Central Region States or 1.07 ounces active ingredient chlorimuron-ethyl in the Southern Region States in any one
soybean growing season.

(a) Field corn is defined to include only that corn grown for grain or silage, popcorn and seed corn. However, because seed corn inbred lines may
vary in their sensitivity to trace amounts of herbicide carryover, DuPont cannot warrant that seed corn can be re-cropped without damage or yield
loss. User should seek the advice of their seed corn company agronomist regarding inbred sensitivity to herbicides prior to planting any inbred
lines.
(b)If drought conditions prevail after application and before the rotational crop is planted, unless sprinkler irrigation has been applied and totals
greater than 15" during the growing season, extend crop rotation interval to 18 months.
(c)When soil pH exceeds 7.0, rotation interval to cotton is 18 months
(d) Rice may be replanted in soils with a pH greater than 7.0 at 10 months following an DILIGENT™ application of no more than 4.0 oz/acre as
long as no other chlorimuron-ethyl containing products (eg DuPont™ CLASSIC®, DuPont™ SYNCHRONY® XP, etc.) were applied in the same
season as DILIGENT™. In soils with a pH greater than 7.0 where an DILIGENT™ rate was >4.0 oz/acre or where 4.0 oz/acre DILIGENT™ was
followed by an application of another chlorimuron-ethyl containing product, the recrop to rice is 18 months.
* 10 months in the Southern Region for soils with pH <6.5.
SPRAY TANK PREPARATION
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide deposits before using DILIGENT™. Follow the spray
tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously sprayed. If no cleanout procedure is provided, follow the
cleanout procedure below for all application equipment.
1. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one of the cleaning agents listed in the SPRAYER CLEANUP section of this label.
Complete filling the tank and flush the cleaning solution through the boom and hoses. Let stand for 15 minutes with agitation or
recirculation and then drain the tank after flushing the hoses, boom, and nozzles.
3. Thoroughly rinse sprayer, tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
4. Follow label directions of the product previously sprayed for rinsate disposal.
Notes: During an extended period where spraying or mixing equipment will be used to apply multiple loads of DILIGENT™, at the
end of each day of spraying partially fill the tank with fresh water, flush the boom and hoses and allow to sit overnight.
A steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks is recommended to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
EQUIPMENT/ SPRAY VOLUMES
Ground Application, conventional tillage:
- Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure uniform coverage of soil and the best performance. 
- For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver coarse to very coarse spray droplets, as indicated, for
example, by ASABE standard S572.1.
Ground Application, conservation tillage- burndown:
- Use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best performance. For small weeds
and/or heavy crop residue, increase the gallonage to ensure coverage.
- For best performance, select nozzle and pressure combinations that deliver medium spray droplets, as indicated, for example, by
ASABE standard S572.1.
11

Aerial Application:
DuPont™ DILIGENT™ may be applied by air for early preplant or preemergence use on soybeans. Apply uniformly with
properly calibrated aerial equipment. Use 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Higher gallonage applications generally afford more
consistent weed control. Avoid overlapping. Continuous agitation of the spray tank is required to keep the material in suspension.
- Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions could produce poor coverage and/or
off-target spray movement.
- Do not apply spray when wind velocity is less than 3 mph or more than 10 mph.
- Do not apply this product by air within 100 feet of nontarget plants including non-target crops.
- Do not apply this product by air within 100 ft. of emerged cotton crops.
- Do not apply this product by air within 40 feet of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. 
- Do not apply this product by air in the State of New York.
Impregnation and Application on Dry Bulk Fertilizer:
Uniform application of DILIGENT™ which has been impregnated on dry fertilizer is essential for satisfactory weed control.
Accurate calibration of fertilizer application equipment is essential for uniform distribution to the surface. Air flow or auger
metered application equipment is preferred (one pass application). If other equipment is used, the recommended method of
application is to apply the specified rate and overlap 50 percent to double apply by splitting the middles to obtain the best distri-
bution pattern.
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use diesel oil or other suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation as dusty
fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application. Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where the impregnated
fertilizer is not uniformly applied.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill tank 1/4 full with water. Start agitation system, add DILIGENT™ and continue adding water. Add separately each additional
component of any tank mix while adding water. Continue agitation throughout. If poor mixing should occur with any component,
premix the component with two parts water before adding to the spray tank.
A fertilizer solution may be used in the spray mixture. Small quantities should be tested for compatibility by the following
procedures before full-scale mixing.
1. Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
2. Mix 2 teaspoons DILIGENT™ with 2 tablespoons of water; mix thoroughly and add to fertilizer solution.
3. Close jar and shake well.
4. If other herbicides are to be used in the mixture, premix 2 teaspoons of wettable powder or 1 teaspoon of liquid with 2
tablespoons of water; add to DILIGENT™/fertilizer solution mixture.
5. Close jar and shake well.
6. Watch mixture for several seconds; check again in 30 minutes.
7. If mixture does not separate, foam, gel, or become lumpy, it may be used.
8. Mixing ability may be improved by adding compatibility agents
.
Provided the above procedure shows the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Add the fertilizer solution to
the spray tank first, with the agitator running, add the required amount of DILIGENT™ and thoroughly mix. For tank mixtures with
other herbicides, follow directions above. For tank mixtures with other herbicides, all applicable directions, restrictions and
precautions for the additional herbicides are also to be followed.
Use DILIGENT™ spray preparations the same day as mixed or product degradation may occur. Thoroughly reagitate and remix
before using, if allowed to settle. When tank mixing with other herbicides, all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for
the additional herbicides are also to be followed.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
applications of DILIGENT™ as follows:*
Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following DILIGENT™ application.
After DILIGENT™ is applied, the following steps should be used to clean the spray equipment:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces of the tank; then flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water for
a minimum of 5 minutes.
2. Partially fill the tank with water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every 100 gallons
of water. Complete filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the boom, hoses, and nozzles.
12

Add water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate or recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the boom,
hoses and nozzles, and drain the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a bucket containing water and the
cleaning agent.
4. Repeat Step 2.
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the boom and hoses.
6. To enhance removal of flumioxazin from the spray system before spraying susceptible crops, follow the above clean-out
steps with ammonia, then add a tank cleaner such as “Valent Tank Cleaner” from Valent U.S.A. Corporation, and allow
the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray system (spray tank, hoses and boom) overnight before flushing
the system for a minimum of 15 minutes. If using "Valent Tank Cleaner" follow use instructions and personal protective
equipment (PPE) instructions as found on the "Valent Tank Cleaner" label.
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner recommended in separately published DuPont bulletins
may be used.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SOIL pH
Soil pH varies greatly, even within the same field. pH variations as much as 2 pH units are common. Composite soil
samples taken across an entire field, such as those samples taken for soil fertility recommendations, may not detect areas of
high pH. Sub-sampling is recommended for areas likely to have pH values higher than the field average. The following is
a non-inclusive list of potential high pH areas where subsampling is recommended.
• Where different soil types are evident within a field, sample soil types separately.
• Where conditions vary within a field, sample areas separately, such as: 
 - areas bordered by limestone gravel roads, 
 - river bottoms subject to flooding, 
 - low areas in hardpan soils where evaporative ponds may occur, 
 - eroded hillsides, 
 - along drain tile lines, and 
 - areas where drainage ditch spoil has been spread. 
• Where lime has not been deeply incorporated, soil may exhibit significantly higher pH values in the upper 3 inches of
soil. Composite soil samples taken at a 6-8 inch depth may not reflect the elevated pH near the surface. In these cases
shallow sampling, the upper 3 inches, is advised.
Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis using a 1:1 soil:water suspension.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible
for considering all these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator. 
Importance of Droplet Size
The most effective drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets which are consistent with pest control objectives. The
presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift
control and coverage. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly
or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 
A droplet size classification system describes the range of droplet sizes produced by spray nozzles. The American Society of
Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) provide a Standard that describes droplet size spectrum categories defined by a
number of reference nozzles (fine, coarse, etc.). Droplet spectra resulting from the use of a specific nozzle may also be described in
terms of volume mean diameter (VMD). Coarser droplet size spectra have larger VMD’s and lower drift potential.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Application
• Nozzle Type - Select a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets. The use of low-drift nozzles will reduce drift potential.
• Pressure - The lowest spray pressures recommended for the nozzle produce the largest droplets. Higher pressure reduces droplet
size and does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, using a higher-capacity nozzle instead of
increasing pressure results in the coarsest droplet spectrum.
• Flow Rate/Orifice Size - Using the highest flow rate nozzles (largest orifice) that are consistent with pest control objectives
reduces the potential for spray drift. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce coarser droplet spectra.
13

Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream, or other low drift nozzles produce the coarsest droplet spectra.
• Number of Nozzles - Using the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage will
produce a coarser droplet spectrum 
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles in a manner that minimizes the effects of air shear will produce the coarsest droplet
spectra. For some nozzles such as solid stream, pointing the nozzles straight back parallel to the airstream will produce a coarser
droplet spectrum than other orientations.
• Pressure – Selecting the pressure that produces the coarsest droplet spectrum for a particular nozzle and airspeed reduces spray
drift potential. For some nozzle types such as solid streams, lower pressures can produce finer droplet spectra and increase drift
potential
Boom Length (Aircraft), and Application Height
• Boom Length (aircraft) - Using shorter booms decreases drift potential. Boom lengths are expressed as a percentage of an
aircraft’s wingspan or a helicopter’s rotor blade diameter. Shorter boom length and proper positioning can minimize drift caused
by wingtip or rotor vortices. 
• Application Height (aircraft) - Applications made at the lowest height that are consistent with pest control objectives and the safe
operation of the aircraft will reduce the potential for spray drift. 
• Application Height (ground) - Applications made at the lowest height consistent with pest control objectives, and that allow the
applicator to keep the boom level with the application site and minimize bounce, will reduce the exposure of spray droplets to
evaporation and wind, and reduce spray drift potential. 
Wind
Drift potential is lowest when applications are made in light to gentle sustained winds (2-10 mph), which are blowing in a constant
direction. Many factors, including droplet size and equipment type also determine drift potential at any given wind speed. A VOID
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Local terrain can also influence wind patterns. Every applicator is expected to be familiar with local wind patterns and how they
affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
Setting up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for droplet evaporation can reduce spray drift potential. Droplet
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Surface Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which may cause small
suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized
by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to
form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.
Inversions may also be identified by producing smoke and observing its behavior. Smoke that remains close to the ground, or
moves laterally in a concentrated cloud under low wind conditions indicates a surface inversion. Smoke that moves upward and
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify
that the shields are minimizing drift potential, and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
Air Assisted (Air Blast) Field Crop Sprayers
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential for
drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility
of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, that it is configured properly, and that drift
potential has been minimized.
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Read the
specific crop use and application equipment instructions to determine if an air assisted field crop sprayer can be used.
Sensitive Areas
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of
water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the effect of spray drift.
Drift Control Additives
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully
observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure
that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control
additives have been certified by the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).
