Dear Amanda Albers:
The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable.
This approval does not affect any terms or conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You
continue to be subject to existing terms or conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with
them.
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 this 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 12 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 your company’s website on your label, then please be aware that
the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by EPA. If the website is false or
misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution of the product is unlawful
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements the 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 EPA find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains statements or claims
substantially differing from statements or claims made in connection with obtaining a FIFRA section 3
registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not
complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.

If you have questions, please contact Lydia Crawford via email at crawford.lydia@epa.gov.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS: This product is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other domestic
animals; however, ingestion of this product or large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation could result in
temporary gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhea, colic, etc.). If such symptoms are observed,
provide the animal with plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Call a veterinarian if symptoms persist for
more than 24 hours.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear: long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes, and
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
natural rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥14 mils).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). If there
are no instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
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 170.607 (d-f)], 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, including a spill or equipment breakdown.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 5 of 65
 Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
 Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
 Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As
soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Environmental Hazards
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: 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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended
to minimize spray drift.

SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is
classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks 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 acetochlor and
mesotrione from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
disposing of equipment wash waters and rinsate.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Acetochlor and mesotrione are known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

This product has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff
erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift.
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground
water is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Spray solutions of this product may be mixed, stored and applied using stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic
or plastic-lined steel containers.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR ALLOW THIS PRODUCT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH AN OXIDIZING OR
REDUCING AGENT INCLUDING GALVANIZED STEEL OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT STAINLESS
STEEL) CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS. This product or spray solutions of this product react with
such oxidizing agents to produce hydrogen gas, which can form a highly combustible gas mixture. This
gas mixture could flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark, welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or
other ignition source and cause serious personal injury.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS: This product is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other domestic
animals; however, ingestion of this product or large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation may result in
temporary gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhea, colic, etc.). If such symptoms are observed,
provide the animal with plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Call a veterinarian if symptoms persist for
more than 24 hours.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear: long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes, and
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
natural rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥14 mils).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). If there
are no instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
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 170.607 (d-f)], 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, including a spill or equipment breakdown.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
 Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
 Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
 Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As
soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Environmental Hazards
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: 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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended
to minimize spray drift.

SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is
classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks 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 acetochlor from

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 20 of 65
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
disposing of equipment wash waters and rinsate.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Acetochlor and mesotrione are known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

This product has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff
erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift.
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground
water is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Spray solutions of this product may be mixed, stored and applied using stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic
or plastic-lined steel containers.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR ALLOW THIS PRODUCT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH AN OXIDIZING OR
REDUCING AGENT INCLUDING GALVANIZED STEEL OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT STAINLESS
STEEL) CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS. This product or spray solutions of this product react with
oxidizing agents to produce hydrogen gas, which can form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas
mixture could flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark, welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or other
ignition source and cause serious personal injury.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product
may only be used in accordance with the Directions for Use on this label.
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.
Agricultural Use Requirements
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR
Part 170. Refer to labeling under “AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS” in the DIRECTIONS FOR
USE section for information about this standard.

Non-Agricultural Use Requirements
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker
Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is
used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses.
Keep people and pets off treated areas until spray solution has dried.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS: This product is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other domestic
animals; however, ingestion of this product or large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation could result in
temporary gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhea, colic, etc.). If such symptoms are observed,
provide the animal with plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Call a veterinarian if symptoms persist for
more than 24 hours.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 25 of 65
Applicators and other handlers must wear: long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes, and
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material (barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
natural rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥14 mils).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). If there
are no instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
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 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, including a spill or equipment breakdown.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
 Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
 Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
 Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As
soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.


Environmental Hazards
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: 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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended
to minimize spray drift.

SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is
classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks 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 acetochlor from
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
disposing of equipment wash waters and rinsate.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Acetochlor and Mesotrione are known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

This product has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff
erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 26 of 65
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground
water is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Spray solutions of this product may be mixed, stored and applied using stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic
or plastic-lined steel containers.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR ALLOW THIS PRODUCT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH AN OXIDIZING OR
REDUCING AGENT INCLUDING GALVANIZED STEEL OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT STAINLESS
STEEL) CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS. This product or spray solutions of this product react with
oxidizing agents to produce hydrogen gas, which can form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas
mixture could flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark, welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or other
ignition source and cause serious personal injury.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product
may only be used in accordance with the Directions for Use on this label.
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.

Agricultural Use Requirements
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR
Part 170. Refer to labeling under “AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS” in the DIRECTIONS FOR
USE section for information about this standard.
See label booklet [Optional text, if applicable: inside] for complete Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Use
Requirements of the Worker Protection Standard and Directions for Use. Read the entire label before
using this product.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Proper pesticide storage and disposal are essential to protect against exposure to people and the
environment due to leaks and spills, excess product or waste, and vandalism. Do not allow this product to
contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store pesticides away from food, pet food, feed, seed, fertilizers, and veterinary
supplies. Keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination. Do not store this container
unprotected from the weather, especially precipitation, for extended periods of time. DO NOT REMOVE
INNER PLASTIC CONTAINER FROM THE PACKAGE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN EMPTIED AND
PROPERLY RINSED.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: To avoid wastes, use all material in this container, including rinsate, by
application according to label directions. If wastes cannot be avoided, offer remaining product to a waste
disposal facility or pesticide disposal program. Such programs are often run by state or local governments
or by industry. All disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations and
procedures.
CONTAINER HANDLING AND DISPOSAL: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 27 of 65
Triple rinse or pressure rinse (or equivalent) the inner plastic container promptly after emptying.
Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix-tank and continue
to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the inner plastic container ¼ full with water and
recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or mix-tank, or store rinsate for later
use or disposal. Continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two
more times.
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix-tank and
continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Place container so that it can drain directly
into application equipment or mix-tank while rinsing, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert
pressure rinsing nozzle through the bottom of the container, ensuring that you puncture the inner plastic
container, and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Continue to drain for 10 seconds after the
flow begins to drip.
After rinsing, open the outer cardboard packaging and remove the inner plastic container.
Once properly rinsed, some plastic [Optional text: agricultural] pesticide containers can be taken to a

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT


Mandatory Spray Drift Requirements

DO NOT aerially apply this product unless otherwise directed by approved supplemental labeling in
possession of the user at the time of application.

Ground Boom Applications
• Do not release spray at a height of greater than 3 feet above the ground or canopy.
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.


Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 41 of 65
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.

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.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid
applications during temperature inversions.

WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

Boom-less Ground Applications:
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.


4.1 Use Restrictions

Not for Sale, Sale Into, Distribution and/or Use in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York State.

This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground
water is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. On the following soil types, do not apply this
product within 50 feet of any well where the depth to ground water is 30 feet or less: sands with less than
3 percent organic matter; loamy sands with less than 2 percent organic matter; or sandy loams with less
than 1 percent organic matter. See the figure for additional clarification.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 42 of 65


This product must not be mixed or loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells,
drainage wells, sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes
and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not
apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.

Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling
or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an
impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or
moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spill or
equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rain water that may fall on the pad.
Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-
contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient
capacity to contain at a minimum 110 percent of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100 percent of the
capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities
as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment
capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading sites. States
may have in effect additional requirements regarding well-head setbacks and operational area
containment.

Do not flood irrigate to apply or incorporate this product.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 43 of 65

Product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to non-target
areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:

• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under
these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
• Do not apply to impervious substrates including paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen
or snow covered soils.
• Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target
crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.

Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment.

Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target
areas: Use low pressure application equipment capable of producing a large droplet spray. Do not use
nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure
adequate coverage with large droplet size sprays.

• Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
• Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to
10 miles per hour). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 miles per hour. Avoid application
when gusts approach 15 miles per hour.
• Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid
spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during
inversion conditions.


4.2 Application Directions:

Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and
pressure recommendations for preplant surface or preemergence applications when used as such.
Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to activate herbicide for effective
residual control. The amount of precipitation or irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil
type and percent organic matter content, but 1/2 inch is normally adequate. If activation of [Insert Brand
Name] Herbicide does not occur by rainfall or irrigation within 7-10 days after preemergence application,
where appropriate, a uniform shallow cultivation is recommended. Dry conditions following application
may reduce the residual activity of [Insert Brand Name] Herbicide and other control measures will need to
be implemented.

For postemergence application of [Insert Brand Name] Herbicide use 10 to 30 gallons per acre. For best
postemergence weed control apply this product to actively growing weeds before they exceed three
inches in height.

Use of adjuvants is very important to achieve good weed control and crop safety, especially
postemergence. For directions on adjuvant use with this product, refer to the adjuvant sections (10.4 and
11.5) in this label.

To achieve best weed control, good weed coverage is imperative. To deliver good coverage and avoid
spray drift use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size and do not exceed 10 mph

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 44 of 65
ground speed during applications. Spray nozzles must be the same size and type, spaced uniformly
along the boom and provide uniform and accurate application. Set spray boom height at least 15 inches
above the crop canopy for over-the-top broadcast applications. Maintain pressure at the nozzles of at
least 35-40 psi by using an appropriate pump. However, with extended range or drift reduction nozzles,
lower pressures at the nozzles may be used. For best postemergence weed coverage 80 or 110 degree
flat fan nozzles are recommended. Do not use controlled droplet applicators or floodjet nozzles. Improved
crop canopy penetration and weed coverage may be achieved by angling nozzles forward 45 degrees.
Make sure the sprayer has 50-mesh or coarser in-line strainers and nozzle screens.

Keep this product dispersed by using the pump to properly agitate the solution within the tank and
maintain agitation until spraying is complete. Use full agitation prior to resuming spraying to resuspend
this product in the spray solution if agitation has been stopped for longer than 5 minutes. Avoid
overlapping spray swaths, as injury may occur to rotational crops.

If rainfall occurs within one hour after application of [Insert Brand Name] Herbicide post-emergence weed
control may be reduced. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to
activate herbicide for effective residual control.

4.3 Cultivation Information

Dry weather may reduce effectiveness of this product. Cultivation may be necessary if activation does not
occur soon after application. If cultivation is desired, delay cultivation after application for as long as
possible since cultivation disturbs soil and herbicide barrier. Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately
if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, set
equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide
treatment. If a band application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to
throw soil into the row covering the band.

intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of
each product in the tank mixture.

5.0 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

ACETOCHLOR GROUP* 15 HERBICIDE
MESOTRIONE GROUP** 27 HERBICIDE

For resistance management, please note that [INSERT BRAND NAME] contains both a Group 27
[Mesotrione] and a Group 15 [Acetochlor] herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants naturally
resistant to Group 27 and/or Group 15 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed
population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of [INSERT BRAND NAME] or other Group 27 or Group 15 herbicides within a growing
season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same
weeds in a field.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on
resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will
control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local
extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently
less prone to resistance.
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or
varieties) and other management practices.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 46 of 65
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development.
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally
controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2)
a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with
controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in
the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method including
hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and
tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this
product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if
available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed
biotypes.
For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER
(1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to
report resistance.

When repairs must be made during transfer or application, the equipment should be shut down, and
special care taken to avoid contact with the pesticide.

Equipment Cleaning After Application of [Insert Brand Name] Herbicide
Only mix the volume of spray solution required for each spray application. Thoroughly clean spray
equipment after spraying this product and before using spray equipment again, especially to spray a crop
other than corn. When using the equipment cleanout procedure described below, dispose of all rinsate in
an appropriate manner according to all local State and Federal regulations.

1. Flush the entire spraying system with clean water (tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles).
2. Use 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals. of water to create a cleaning solution.
3. Alternatively, there are many spray tank cleaners that may be used instead of a household ammonia
solution.
4. Using a pressure washer and the cleaning solution, wash all parts of the inside of the spray tank,
including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with
cleaning solution to ensure contact with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start the
sprayer’s agitation system and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes.
Remove all visible deposits from the spraying system.
5. Use the cleaning solution to flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute.
6. Remove end caps from the boom and flush dead space areas with clean water, then replace end
caps.
7. After disposing of rinsate, repeat steps 2-5.
8. Using the cleaning solution, clean the removed nozzles, screens, and strainers separately.
9. Using clean water, rinse the entire spraying system.

7.2 Sprayer Compatibility

Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of this product with water carrier
or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the
“STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST” section in this label to
determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures specified for use with sprayable
fluid fertilizer carrier.

For recommended tank mixes, see tank mix sections 10.3 and 11.3 of this label. It is the pesticide user’s
responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users
must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
tank mixture. Do not tank mix this product with any fungicide, insecticide, adjuvant or fertilizer solution
not recommended on this label without first testing compatibility. Use this product only in sprayers that
have good agitation and are in good running condition. Make sure the sprayer has been cleaned by
following the instructions on the previously used products label before mixing and applying this product.

Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate carrier as follows:

1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 48 of 65
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with appropriate carrier. For preemergence
applications liquid fertilizer (except suspension fertilizers) may be used as the carrier. For
postemergence applications, use clean water only as the carrier.
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and
unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank. For example,
AMS should be added at this step and agitate until completely dispersed. Use only compatibility
agents cleared by the FDA for this use. Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements
and all other information appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for adequate
agitation.
4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with water, and add it slowly
through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
5. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility
may be improved when the flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water and added
slowly to the tank in diluted form.
6. Add this product slowly through the screen into the tank. Longer agitation may be required for
complete dispersion of this product when using cold water sources. Mixing and compatibility may be
improved when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form.
7. Add appropriate adjuvant and UAN if needed and allowed, then complete filling the sprayer tank with
carrier. If a labeled tank mixture product is to be used, add the required amount near the end of the
filling process. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the water
source.

Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed.

NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the
mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming.
Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. Carefully select the proper nozzle
to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for even distribution of spray droplets. For best results with ground
application, use flat-fan or whirl-chamber nozzle. To reduce loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist,
apply at pressures less than 40 psi.

7.3 Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test

Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may
separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to certain
characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the components is
suggested to provide compatibility potential. The test follows:

A. Materials Required For Compatibility Test

1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked “with” and “without”).
2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mL) pipette or graduated cylinder is
desirable).
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed.
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop protection
chemical in suspension, if this assistance is needed).

B. Procedure

1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar
marked “with” and “without.”

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 49 of 65
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars
WITH WITHOUT

2. To the jar marked “with,” add 1/4 teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake
gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 teaspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100
gallons of liquid fertilizer.)

To Jar Marked “With” add Compatibility Agent and Shake To Mix
WITH WITHOUT

2. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one is used, add them
separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and liquid last.
Shake gently five to ten seconds after each addition.

This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the maximum labeled rate of
herbicide. For changes in spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of
the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three
pints (two pints = 1/4 teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 teaspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of
sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.

C. Observations and Decisions

1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.

Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge,
gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer
but remains as small oily particles in the solution.

If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the compatibility agent added, the
liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank.

If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the jar "with"
adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended.

Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour. If the separate layers
of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible. An
emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to
the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers.

If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to use a
compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the
compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank.

8.3 Application With Dry Bulk Fertilizer

The herbicide-fertilizer impregnation process must be completed only by commercial fertilizer or chemical
dealerships properly equipped for this procedure. Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated with this product
or the tank mixtures of this product. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in
the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for
use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. This product and these tank
mixtures must be applied with a minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and shallowly
incorporated within 14 days prior to planting.

The following table provides a reference to determine the amount of [Insert Brand Name] Herbicide to be
mixed per ton of dry bulk fertilizer for a range of herbicide recommendations for fertilizer rates per acre:

To determine the amount of this product needed for rates not included in the preceding table, use the
following formula:


Desired rate of [INSERT BRAND NAME] Herbicide (fluid
ounces /Acre) ÷ desired fertilizer rate (pounds/Acre) X 2000
Pounds /Ton
=
Fluid ounces of [INSERT
BRAND NAME] per Ton of Dry
Bulk Fertilizer

For example: If the desired rate of this product is 75 fl oz/A and the desired fertilizer rate is 200 pounds
per acre, the rate of this product per ton of dry fertilizer would be 750 fl oz (75 fl oz/A ÷ 200 lbs/A X 2000
lbs/ton).

Mix and blend the dry fertilizer and herbicide mixture in a closed rotary drum-type mixture allowing
sufficient time to ensure uniform coverage. Use at least one ton of dry fertilizer per mixing operation.
Inject the herbicide into the drum over a minimum of a 2-minute period and allow at least 2 additional
minutes mixing time to ensure uniformity. The nozzle used to spray the herbicide treatment must be
placed inside the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage of the tumbling fertilizer. [Insert Brand Name]
Herbicide may also be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer in the field while the fertilizer is being spread
using a pneumatic applicator equipped to impregnate herbicides.

If the dry fertilizer used has inadequate absorptive capacity, use a higher absorptive material such as
Agsorb or Micro-Cel, to provide a free-flowing mixture.

The following table provides a partial list of approved dry fertilizers which may be impregnated with this
product or tank mixtures of this product with other herbicides.

10.2 Application Methods

Preplant Surface Applications

Application of this product should be made less than 30 days before planting corn but prior to weed
emergence.

NOTE: Applications on coarse soils should not be made more than two weeks prior to planting. In order to
provide broad-spectrum weed control, single applications of this product must be followed with a planned
postemergence application of a labeled broadleaf and/or grass herbicide. Observe the directions for use,
precautions and restrictions on the label of the postemergence herbicide before use of these products.

Preplant Incorporated Applications

This product may be mixed into the upper 1-inch of soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time
within 14 days prior to planting. Apply the specified treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast
application. Either existing soil moisture or subsequent precipitation or irrigation is required to bring
incorporated herbicide treatments into contact with germinating weed seedlings. Irrigation within 10 days
following application may improve weed control. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly
cultivate immediately to improve performance but only cultivate if rainfall or irrigation does not occur within
10 to 14 days after application.

At-Planting or Preemergence Applications

Applications of this product according to the rate table provided above may be made in combination with
the tank mixture products listed below, at the time of planting. During the planting operation, be careful
not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be
reduced.

10.3 Tank Mixtures

ATTENTION: AVOID DRIFT—EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THESE TANK
MIXTURES TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Do not apply when
conditions favor drift. Do not allow spray mist to drift since even minute quantities of spray can cause
severe damage or destruction to nearby crops, plants or other areas on which treatment is not intended.
Do not apply when winds are gusty or in excess of 15 miles per hour or when other conditions, including
lesser wind velocities, will allow drift to occur. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle
type that will result in fine particles (mist) which are more likely to drift.

Detailed information regarding “APPLICATION SYSTEMS” should be carefully reviewed in conjunction
with the information in this section. If the specific information in this section differs from the “PRODUCT
INFORMATION” section, this section should take precedence.


11.0 P OSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION IN CORN

This product may be applied postemergence until corn reaches 11 inches in height. Precipitation or
overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed

Reg. No. 524-636 Page 60 of 65
germination zone to control weeds that have not emerged. The amount of precipitation or irrigation
required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/2 to 3/4
inch is normally adequate. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate to improve
performance.

11.1 [INSERT BRAND NAME] Herbicide Use Rates
Apply this product alone at 40 to 75 fl. oz./A using ground sprayers with a spray volume of 10-30 gals. of
water per acre to control weeds listed in Table 2. in the WEEDS CONTROLLED section of this label.
Always add an appropriate adjuvant to the spray tank (see the POSTEMERGENCE SPRAY
ADJUVANTS section 11.5 of this label). For best results, apply this product to actively growing weeds
before they exceed three inches in height. Susceptible weeds which emerge soon after application of this
product may be controlled after they absorb the herbicide from the soil. Do not apply when conditions
favor drift.

11.5 Postemergence Spray Adjuvants

Add either non-ionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) when applying this product
postemergence to corn (after corn has emerged). Use a rate of 0.25% v/v (1 qt./100 gallons) when using
NIS or a rate of 1.0% v/v (1 gal./100 gals.) if using COC. COC will provide more consistent weed control
than NIS but may also result in temporary crop injury. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) instead of a crop oil
concentrate (COC) for postemergence applications to yellow popcorn to minimize the risk of crop injury.

In addition to NIS or COC, a nitrogen based adjuvant (AMS or UAN) may also be added to increase weed
control consistency. The use of nitrogen based adjuvants will increase the risk of temporary crop injury.
Do not include nitrogen based adjuvants (AMS or UAN) when making postemergence applications of this
product to yellow popcorn.

Postemergence applications of this product to field corn may result in temporary crop response when the
crop is suffering from stress or under extreme weather conditions. Crop response may appear as
transient bleaching and/or chlorotic or necrotic speckling on the tips of lower leaves. Corn quickly
outgrows these effects and typically develops normally with no effect on final yield or quality. All yellow
popcorn hybrids have not been tested and herbicide sensitivity varies widely. Before making a
postemergence application of this product to yellow popcorn, contact your popcorn company or University
Specialist about hybrid recommendations.

Do not use methylated seed oil (MSO) with this product when applied alone or as a postemergence tank
mixture with other products to emerged field corn (all types).
