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 Wes Marchione:
|
||
|
||
The Agency is in receipt of your Application for Pesticide Notification under Pesticide
|
||
Registration Notice (PRN) 98-10 for the above referenced product. The Registration Division
|
||
(RD) has conducted a review of this request for its applicability under PRN 98-10 and finds that
|
||
the action requested falls within the scope of PRN 98-10.
|
||
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “NOTIFICATION” and placed in our
|
||
records.
|
||
|
||
The alternate brand name, “DuPont Instigate” has been added to the product record.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
|
||
Rodenticide Act (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 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.

|
||
information.
|
||
|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the
|
||
mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Label Advisory
|
||
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several 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 rimsulfuron 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
|
||
|
||
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.

Environmental Hazards
|
||
DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the
|
||
mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
|
||
Surface Water Label Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several 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 rimsulfuron 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
|
||
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,
|
||

Product Information
|
||
Instigate herbicide must be used only in accordance with instructions on this label or in supplemental
|
||
DuPont company publications. DuPont Corteva Agriscience will not be responsible for losses or damage
|
||
resulting from use of this product in any manner not specifically specified by DuPontCorteva Agriscience.
|
||
DuPont™ In
|
||
stigate herbicide is a water dispersible blend containing 45.8% active ingredients by weight.
|
||
Instigate is a
|
||
selective herbicide for burndown and residual control of certain annual grass and broadleaf
|
||
weeds. Instigate can be tank mixed with a variety of corn herbicides to improve burndown and residual
|
||
control.
|
||
Instigate is a blend of rimsulfuron and mesotrione, two active ingredients that have different mode-of-
|
||
action on susceptible weeds.
|
||
When surface applied, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move Instigate into the soil root zone.
|
||
Instigate is absorbed through the roots, rapidly inhibiting plant growth. Susceptible weeds will generally
|
||
not emerge from preemergence application. 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. Dry conditions following application may reduce the
|
||
preemergence activity of Instigate. If an activating rain (0.5 inches) is not received within 5-7 days after
|
||
preemergence application, where appropriate, rotary hoeing is suggested to activate the herbicide.
|
||
When applied to emerged vegetation, susceptible weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage
|
||
and cease growth soon after application. Complete death of susceptible weeds may take up to 2 weeks.
|
||
On all field corn hybrids, Instigate can be used in a planned sequential application herbicide program
|
||
such as Instigate followed by an in-crop application of DuPont™ ACCENT®Accent Q, DuPont™
|
||
REALM®Realm Q, DuPont™ RESOLVE®Resolve Q, DuPont™ REVULIN® QRevulin or DuPont™
|
||
STEADFAST®Steadfast Q with appropriate tank mix partners not exceeding 1.0 ounce active ingredient
|
||
rimsulfuron or 3.85 ounces active ingredient of mesotrione during the crop year.
|
||
For glyphosate-tolerant field corn hybrids, Instigate can be followed by an in-crop application of a
|
||
glyphosate product with appropriate tank mix partners and adjuvant products.
|
||
Refer to the label of the respective sequential partner for specific use directions.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
x DO NO
|
||
T make more than 1 application of Instigate per year.

Precautions
|
||
Allow at least
|
||
4 weeks between preemergence application of DuPont Instigate and postemergence
|
||
applications of unsafened rimsulfuron-containing herbicides.
|
||
Instigate herbicide may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response
|
||
varies with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||
Preplant/Preemergence applications of Instigate to corn where an application of terbufos, chlorpyrifos, or
|
||
phorate is planned may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic
|
||
matter.
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 15
|
||
Instigate may be applied to corn previously treated with chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin, tebupirimphose +
|
||
cyfluthrin, or tefluthrin insecticides, or other non-organophosphate soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
Instigate may be applied with pyrethroid type insecticides including esfenvalerate or lambda-cyhalothrin
|
||
or with diamide type insecticides including PREVATHONPrevathon®.
|
||
Whe
|
||
n weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures,
|
||
control can be reduced or delayed since the weeds are not actively growing.
|
||
Weed escapes or regrowth may occur when application is made under prolonged stress conditions.
|
||
Optimum weed control will be obtained if an application of Instigate is made following label direction when
|
||
weeds are actively growing.
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of Instigate 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 equipment immediately after use.
|
||
Weed Resistance Management
|
||
Instigate, whi
|
||
ch contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron and mesotrione, is both a Group 2 and a
|
||
Group 27 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:
|
||
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed
|
||
species and weed sizes present.
|
||
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
x Apply full rates of Instigate herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the
|
||
specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout fields after application to detect weed esc apes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your
|
||
company representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
x Contact your company 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.
|
||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than
|
||
Group 2 or 27 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of
|
||
preventing further seed production.
|
||
x Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 16
|
||
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as
|
||
is practical:
|
||
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed
|
||
control program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 or 27 herbicides.
|
||
x Avoid making more than two applications of DuPont Instigate and any other Group 2 or 27
|
||
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.
|
||
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation,
|
||
cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain
|
||
resistant weeds.
|
||
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

Application Information - Field Corn Grown for Grain or Silage
|
||
Instigate he
|
||
rbicide 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), preemergence, or
|
||
early postemergence to field corn. Instigate herbicide can be applied to corn that exhibits up through 2
|
||
leaf collars.
|
||
Application Timings
|
||
Preplant Surface-Applied or Preplant Incorporated: Instigate herbicide may be up to 14 days applied
|
||
prior to planting. For preplant incorporated treatments apply to the soil and uniformly incorporate in the
|
||
top two inches of soil before planting using a finishing disc harrow, field cultivator or similar implement
|
||
capable of providing uniform two inch incorporation. DO NOT incorporate Instigate deeper than 2” or
|
||
weed control may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 17
|
||
Preplant/Preemergence Burndown: Instigate may be applied when weeds are present at the time of
|
||
treatment. The addition of crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil is recommended for burndown of
|
||
labeled weeds 3 inches or less in height. When weeds are greater than 3” in height or weeds not
|
||
controlled by Instigate herbicide are present, the addition of a burndown herbicide (e.g. paraquat,
|
||
glyphosate, dicamba and/or 2,4-D) is recommended. If giant ragweed, common cocklebur, henbit,
|
||
Pennsylvania smartweed or purple deadnettle are present at the time of application, the addition of
|
||
atrazine or atrazine-containing herbicides will improve control. Observe directions for use and precautions
|
||
and restrictions on the label of the burndown label herbicide. When mixing with liquid nitrogen fertilizer or
|
||
glyphosate, substitute a non-ionic surfactant for crop oil concentrate. When tank mixing with EC
|
||
formulation herbicides, such as DuPont™ CINCH®Cinch or Surpass
|
||
® NXT, refer to TANK MIXING
|
||
section for additional adjuvant information.
|
||
Preemergence: Apply Instigate herbicide during planting (behind the planter after furrow closure) or after
|
||
planting, but before crop emergence. Failure to thoroughly close and firm the seed furrow may allow
|
||
herbicide to directly contact the seed which can cause injury.
|
||
Early Postemergence Treatment: In the event planned preemergence applications are delayed and
|
||
corn is emerging, application may be made to emerged corn up through 2 collars. Use only clean water
|
||
as the carrier when applying Instigate after corn emergence.
|
||
For control of labeled emerged weeds, applications of Instigate must include a crop oil concentrate or a
|
||
nonionic surfactant. In addition, nitrogen based adjuvant (UAN or AMS) must be used unless specifically
|
||
prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus nitrogen based adjuvant is the preferred
|
||
adjuvant system for Instigate for control of labeled emerged weeds. When applied in tank mix
|
||
combination with a glyphosate that contains a built-in adjuvant, ensure the total adjuvant load is
|
||
equivalent to the recommendations on this label. Select adjuvants authorized for use with both products.
|
||
Best results are obtained when applications are made to actively growing plants. Instigate is rainfast 1
|
||
hour after application.
|
||
DO NOT use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below 5.0 or above 9.0 as rapid
|
||
product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 – 8.0 allow for optimum stability of Instigate.
|
||
Application Rate
|
||
The typical DuPont Instigate use rate for most soils and application situations is 6 oz product per acre.
|
||
Instigate may be applied within a rate range of 5.25 - 7.0 oz product per acre before corn emergence.
|
||
Use higher rates on fine soils (silty clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay or clay) or on soils with
|
||
greater than 3% organic matter. DO NOT apply to coarse soils (sand, loamy sandy or sandy loam) with
|
||
less than 1% organic matter. See cumulative rimsulfuron and mesotrione rate limitations noted under
|
||
"Restrictions.”
|
||
Instigate may be applied at 5.25 to 6.0 oz product per acre for early postemergence treatment on corn
|
||
exhibiting up through 2 leaf collars.
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the
|
||
Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended.
|
||
For preplant or preemergence burndown applications, for control of emerged labeled weeds, application
|
||
of Instigate must include a crop oil concentrate, modified seed oil or a nonionic surfactant. In addition,
|
||
nitrogen based adjuvant (UAN or AMS) must be used unless specifically prohibited by the tankmix partner
|
||
labeling. Crop oil concentrate/modified seed oil plus nitrogen based adjuvant is the preferred adjuvant
|
||
systems. When applied in tank mix combination with a glyphosate or glufosinate herbicide that contains a
|
||
built-in adjuvant system, ensure the total adjuvant load is equivalent to the recommendations on this
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 18
|
||
label. Select adjuvants authorized for use with both products.
|
||
Instigate applied postemergence to the corn must include a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant.
|
||
The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants may cause severe crop
|
||
injury to occur. MSO adjuvants are not recommended. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer
|
||
must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. See TANK MIXING section for
|
||
additional adjuvant information if tank mixing Instigate with EC formulation herbicides.
|
||
Weeds Controlled
|
||
Instigate applied as directed in this label will control or suppress the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2.
|
||
Additional weeds may be controlled with tank mixes. See the TANK MIXTURES section for recommended
|
||
tank mix combinations.

Tank Mixtur
|
||
es
|
||
DuPont Instigate may be tank mixed with preemergence corn herbicides including atrazine, glyphosate,
|
||
dicamba, 2,4-D, DuPont™ CINCH®Cinch and Surpass NXT to provide added residual activity or
|
||
burndown activity on emerged weeds. Consult tank mix partner labeling for rate and soil-type restrictions.
|
||
Ensure the tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use
|
||
restrictions as Instigate and other products used in the tank mixture.
|
||
Ensure the tank mixture is not specifically prohibited on the label of the tank mix product.
|
||
For postemergence applications to corn if mixing with an EC formulation including CINCH®Cinch or
|
||
Surpass® NXT the user should leave the crop oil concentrate (COC) out of the adjuvant mix. These
|
||
herbicides can act like an adjuvant in certain combinations and thus increase the risk of crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 21
|
||
Instigate may be tank mixed with CINCH®Cinch ATZ, CINCH®Cinch ATZ LITE, FulTime® NXT,
|
||
Keystone® NXT, or Keystone® LA NXT postemergence to the corn, but special attention must be paid to
|
||
adjuvant selection and/or application method. If any of these tank mixtures are used the user should
|
||
leave the urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) out of the mix.
|
||
There is still a risk of temporary crop injury in the form of leaf burn with these mixtures. To further reduce
|
||
the risk of crop injury, the user may also leave out the crop oil concentrate (COC) or replace it with a
|
||
nonionic surfactant (NIS). In either case, the control of emerged weeds may be reduced somewhat due to
|
||
less than optimum adjuvant effect or weed coverage and there is still a risk of temporary crop injury in the
|
||
form of leaf burn with these mixtures.
|
||
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.
|
||
Mixing instructions
|
||
Fertilizer carrier instructions
|
||
Instigate may be mixed with water or pre-slurried in water and added to liquid fertilizer (excluding
|
||
suspension fertilizers) for preemergence application. When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always
|
||
pre-slurry Instigate in water before adding fertilizer solutions. Add the Instigate slurry to the final liquid
|
||
fertilizer mixture – DO NOT add Instigate during the fertilizer mixing process. Always use good agitation
|
||
while adding the Instigate slurry to the liquid fertilizer. Maintain good agitation until sprayed.
|
||
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, conduct a compatibility test with all the components prior to
|
||
mixing.
|
||
DO NOT use with spray additives or liquid fertilizer carriers that alter the pH of the spray solution below
|
||
pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0 as rapid degradation may occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0-8.0 allow for optimum
|
||
stability of Instigate.
|
||
Water Carrier Instructions
|
||
1.
|
||
Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2.
|
||
While agitating, add the required amount of Instigate.
|
||
3.
|
||
Continue agitation until the Instigate is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4.
|
||
Once the Instigate is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
Instigate sho
|
||
uld be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5.
|
||
As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired).
|
||
6.
|
||
If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-
|
||
agitate before using.
|
||
7.
|
||
At the end of the day, or for extended periods of time between Instigate applications, it is
|
||
recomme
|
||
nded to flush boom hoses and lines of spray solution and recharge with clean water.
|
||
This will ai
|
||
d in proper sprayer cleanout when concluding Instigate applications before moving on
|
||
to spra
|
||
y other products/crops.
|
||
8.
|
||
Apply Instigate spray mixture within 48 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
Tank Mix Compatibility
|
||
Testing
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Instigate 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 films or layers or other precipitates, it is not compatible, and the
|
||
tank mix combination must not be used.

|
||
Application and Spray Volumes
|
||
Ground Application (Also refer to Spray Drift Management section)
|
||
Avoid spray overlaps as excessive rates may result in adverse crop response.
|
||
Spray nozzle should be uniformly spaced the same size and type, and should provide accurate and
|
||
uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to provide good
|
||
coverage and avoid drift. Apply in a spray volume of 10-80 gals/A using water or liquid fertilizer (excluding
|
||
suspension fertilizers) as the carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi at the
|
||
nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressure may
|
||
be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles.
|
||
Always ensue that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of
|
||
time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full
|
||
agitation prior to spraying.
|
||
To minimize spray drift to non-target areas, apply this product using nozzles which deliver a coarse or
|
||
larger spray droplet as defined by ASAE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s
|
||
catalogues. Keep the spray boom at the lowest possible spray height above the target surface. Refer to
|
||
nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for proper nozzle, pressure setting and sprayer speed for
|
||
optimum product performance and minimal spray drift. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform
|
||
application.
|
||
Maintain adequate agitation at all times, including momentary stops.
|
||
Aerial Application (Also refer to Spray Drift Management section)
|
||
DuPont Instigate may be applied aerially for preemergence or postemergence weed control only in the
|
||
following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
|
||
Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South
|
||
Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.
|
||
For aerial application use only nozzles producing coarse-ultra coarse droplets. DO NOT use nozzles
|
||
producing fine-medium size droplets.
|
||
Applications must be made in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Rotational Crop Guidelines
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their crop response to low concentrations of Instigate remaining in the soil. The
|
||
amount of Instigate that may be present in the soil depends on soil moisture, soil temperature, application
|
||
rate, elapsed time since application and other environmental factors. When Instigate is used in
|
||
combination with other products, always follow the most restrictive rotational crop requirements.
|
||
The following rotational intervals must be observed when Instigate is applied at 5.25 - 7.0 oz per acre:

egradation may be less on furrow irrigated soils and may result in some crop injury.
|
||
**On soils with pH 6.5 or less.
|
||
1.Plant these rotational crops only if the following criteria below have been met. If all criteria are not met, plant peas and snap beans
|
||
a minimum of 18 months following Instigate application.
|
||
- A minimum of 2
|
||
0" of rainfall plus irrigation has been received between application and planting of the rotational crop.
|
||
- Soil pH is 6.0 or greater.
|
||
- Application of Instigate applied no later than Ju
|
||
ne 30 the year preceding rotational crop planting.
|
||
- No othe
|
||
r HPPD herbicides were applied the year prior to planting peas and snap beans.
|
||
2.DO NOT plant peas or snap beans on sand, sandy loam or loamy sands in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
|
||
Planting unspecified rotational crops, or those rotational crops that are specified at shorter than listed intervals may result in injury to
|
||
the rotational crop.
|
||
Cover Crops
|
||
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression,
|
||
etc., following harvest of corn in the fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with DuPont
|
||
Instigate is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed by livestock nor harvested for food.
|
||
Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically controlled with burndown herbicides in the spring. Many
|
||
cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after application of Instigate. However, all potential cover
|
||
crops have not been evaluated for tolerance to Instigate and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding
|
||
a cover crop complete a successful field/ home bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance
|
||
to the prior Instigate application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section. If used in tank
|
||
mixtures with other herbicides, always follow the most restrictive label.
|
||
Field/Small Scale Bioassay
|
||
A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those specified
|
||
in the “Rotational Crop Guidelines” section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips
|
||
of the crop(s) you intend to grow the following season in a field previously treated with Instigate. The test
|
||
strip should be placed in a controlled area and should include low areas and knolls, and include variations
|
||
in soil such as type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test
|
||
strips can be grown safely in the areas previously treated with Instigate.
|
||
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the Instigate treated
|
||
field (see example above for types of soil in the sample) and place the soil into a sturdy container. Plant
|
||
the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place the container in a warm, sunny area to allow
|
||
germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover crop over a three to four week period. If
|
||
the cover crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the field
|
||
treated with Instigate should be tolerable.

|
||
Sprayer Preparation/Cleanup
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using Instigate
|
||
and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application equipment before applying
|
||
Instigate. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed. If no
|
||
cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications of
|
||
Instigate, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury.
|
||
When cleaning spray equipment before applying Instigate, read and follow label directions for proper
|
||
rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
|
||
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of
|
||
Instigate, 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.
|
||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom
|
||
with clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gal of household ammonia (containing 3%
|
||
active) for every 100 gal of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution
|
||
through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to
|
||
agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
|
||
solution, then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a
|
||
bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the
|
||
hoses and boom.

Mandatory Spray Drift Management
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1)
|
||
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
x Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
|
||
ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case
|
||
applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
|
||
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 25
|

|
||
applications.
|
||
x DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Spray Drift Advisories
|
||
Boo
|
||
m-less Ground Applications:
|
||
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF
|
||
NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
An most 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
|
||
x 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 higher flow rate.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
|
||
spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles.
|
||
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
Boom Height – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage.
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
Release Height – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT
|
||
release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is
|
||
necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
Shielded Sprayers
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify
|
||
that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
Q2M / Instigate® / MSTR /Notification with edits / 11-21-22 Page 26
|
||
Temperature And Humidity
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
|
||
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a
|
||
ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated
|
||
cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
|
||
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential 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.
|
||
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).
