SURFACE WATER ADVISORY 
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially tru e for poorly draining soils 
and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via 
runoff for several weeks or months 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 the product 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. For more information, see the United States Department of 
Agriculture National Resource Conservation Service’s manual, “Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.” 
 
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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-
target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. 
 
Physical-Chemical Hazard 
Do not mix or allow coming in contact with oxidizing agent. Hazardous Chemical reaction may occur. 
 
Mixing/Loading Instructions 
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess 
pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates. Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing and/or irrigation 
equipment. 
 
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft. of perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded 
lakes and reservoirs. This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 ft. of all wells, including abandoned wells, 
drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from 
pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 ft. 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 spills or equipment leaks, container or 
equipment rinse or wash water, 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% of the capacity of the l argest 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% 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 site.

PRODUCT INFORMATION 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE is a selective herbicide for the control or partial control of certain grass, broadleaf and sedge weeds 
in soybeans. HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied as a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or 
postemergence treatment. 
 
MODE OF ACTION 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE is a mixture of the active ingredients S-metolachlor and fomesafen. S-metolachlor is a biosynthesis 
inhibitor (Group 15 mode of action) preventing cell division in emerging weeds. Fomesafen is a protoporphyrinogen 
oxidase inhibitor (Group 14 mode of action) leading to cellular membrane disruption and plant death. 
 
WEED RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT 
For resistance management, HM-1507 Herbicide is a combination of s-metolachlor and fomesafen (Group 15 and 14 
herbicides). Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to HM -1507 Herbicide and other Group 
15 and 14 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in 
the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. 
 
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
 
• Rotate the use of HM-1507 Herbicide or other Group 15 and 14 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. 
 
• 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 individu als of the same species. If

5 
Filename: HM-1507 (5905-603) AD 031725 STK.doc 
 
resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a 
different group or by a mechanical method such as 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 Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC representatives at 
901-761-0050. 
 
Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage t o determine if 
the intended application will be effective. 
Fields should be scouted after application to verify that the treatment was effective. 
 
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators: 
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is 
achieved on adjacent weeds; 
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and 
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. 
 
Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your Helena Agri -
Enterprises representative or call 901-761-0050. If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a 
different mechanism of action and/or use non-chemical means to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of 
preventing further seed production. 
 
Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible. 
 
To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple 
weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation. 
 
Fields with difficult to control weeds should be rotated to crops that allow the use of herbicides with alternative 
mechanisms of action or different management practices. 
 
To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest and 
post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed seedbank. 
 
Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vegetative propagules. Thoroughly clean plant residues 
from equipment before leaving fields. 
 
Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders. 
 
Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed -control 
program should consider all of the weeds present. 
 
Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of action. 
 
Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field. 
 
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non -chemical methods to 
remove escapes. 
 
Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a 
weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of 
action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an 
overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean the spray equipment before 
using HM-1507 HERBICIDE. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray mixture. Maintain 
maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight in the spray tank. 
Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. 
 
Application in Water or Fluid Fertilizers 
 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE Alone: Add ⅓ of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank. With 
the agitator running, add HM-1507 HERBICIDE into the spray tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the 
water or fluid fertilizer. Begin application of the spray solution after the HM-1507 HERBICIDE has completely dispersed in 
the water or fluid fertilizer. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 
 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE + Tank Mixtures: Add ⅓ of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the mix tank. Start the 
agitator running before adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: products 
packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids such 
as HM-1507 HERBICIDE, and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed 
before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation 
until all of the mixture has been applied. 
 
Notes: (1) When using HM-1507 HERBICIDE in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added 
to the tank and mixed with plain water before any other tank mix partner, including HM-1507 HERBICIDE. Allow the 
water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank 
mix partner to the tank. (2) Water-soluble packets will not properly dissolve in most spray solutions that contain fluid 
fertilizers. 
 
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. However, 
the physical compatibility of HM-1507 HERBICIDE with tank mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the 
physical compatibility of HM-1507 HERBICIDE with other products, use a jar test, as described below. 
 
Note: Do not use nitrogen solutions or fluid fertilizers as a complete or partial spray carrier when applying HM-1507 
HERBICIDE as a postemergence application to soybeans as these combinations may cause crop injury. 
 
Compatibility Test 
 
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of HM-1507 HERBICIDE with other pesticides. The 
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal./A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the 
ingredients. 
 
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray for preplant surface, 
preplant incorporated, or preemergence applications only. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, 
always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with 
suspensions of fertilizer and pesticides. 
 
Test Procedure 
 
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one qt. jars with tight lids. Note: Use the same source of 
water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the tank mix will be applied. 
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex® or 
Unite® (¼ tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pt./100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative pr oportions based on recommended label 
rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry pesticides first, flowables next, and 
emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. 
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-
30 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of 
incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If

7 
Filename: HM-1507 (5905-603) AD 031725 STK.doc 
 
either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is 
used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (a) Slurry the dry 
pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add ½ the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other ½ 
to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still 
observed, do not use the mixture. 
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and 
Disposal section in this label. 
 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
Activation 
A small amount of soil moisture is required to activate HM-1507 HERBICIDE following application. In areas of low rainfall, 
a preemergence application to dry soil should be followed with light irrigation of 0.25-0.5 inch of water. As with many 
surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil texture. If rainfall or irrigation 
within 7-10 days does not occur, cultivate uniformly with shallow tilling equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not 
damage soybeans. 
 
Ground Application: Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 
gallons of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. 
Calibrate the sprayer before use at the beginning of the season. For HM-1507 HERBICIDE tank mixtures with wettable 
powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. 
 
Band Applications 
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula: 
 
Band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed 
Row width in inches per acre per acre of field 
 
Chemigation: Do not apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE through any type of irrigation system. 
 
Aerial Application: Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gal./A. Avoid application 
under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Make 
applications at a maximum height of 10 ft. above the soybeans with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. 
 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact 
with skin. 
 
Aerial Drift Management 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and 
weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for 
considering all these factors when making decisions. 
 
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications 
to agricultural field crops. 
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downward more than 45 
degrees. 
 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. 
 
Sensitive Areas 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential 
areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non -target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind 
is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 
 
Cleaning Equipment After Application 
Because some crops, other than soybeans, are sensitive to low rates of HM-1507 HERBICIDE, special attention must be 
given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than those registered for use and on this label. Mix only as 
much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using the following procedure: 
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.

8 
Filename: HM-1507 (5905-603) AD 031725 STK.doc 
 
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of one gal. of household ammonia per 50 gal. of water. Many commercial spray tank 
cleaners may be used as well. Consult your Helena Agri-Enterprises representative for a partial listing of 
approved tank cleaners and more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine-based 
cleaners such as Clorox®. 
3. When available, use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash 
all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to 
ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the 
sprayer and thoroughly re-circulate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be 
removed from the spraying system. 
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with the cleaning solution. 
5. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean 
water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate. Do not apply when 
weather conditions favor drift from target area. 
6. Repeat steps 2-5. 
7. Remove nozzles, screens, diaphragm check valves and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia cleaning 
solution after completing the above procedures. 
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water. 
 
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
Aerial Applications: 
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater 
application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE 
S641). 
• 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). 
• If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the 
downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ 
swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 
mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor 
diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed -wing 
aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. 
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
Ground Boom Applications: 
• User must only 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. 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE 
S572). 
• 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) 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications: 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE 
S572.3) for all applications. 
• 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

9 
Filename: HM-1507 (5905-603) AD 031725 STK.doc 
 
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 wit h a 
higher flow rate. 
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and 
droplet size. 
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed 
to reduce drift. 
 
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft 
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine 
droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. 
 
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom 
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. 
 
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. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications: 
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. 
 
Handheld Technology Applications: 
Take precautions to minimize spray drift. 
 
PRECAUTIONS 
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths, as injury may occur to rotational crops. 
• To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when 
conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall 
or irrigation. 
 
RESTRICTIONS 
• Do not graze treated areas or harvest for forage or hay. 
• Do not exceed 2.48 lb. a.i./A/crop of S-metolachlor (0.571 gallon/A HM-1507 HERBICIDE Herbicide). 
• Do not exceed 2.48 lb a.i./A per year of S-metolachlor from applications of HM-1507 HERBICIDE or any other 
metolachlor-containing product.

10 
Filename: HM-1507 (5905-603) AD 031725 STK.doc 
 
• Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. 
• Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops, unless at 
least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.

Cover Crops 
A cover crop can be an important tool for the overall farm cropping system. Cover crops are planted for conservation 
purposes, soil erosion control, soil health improvement, water quality improvement and weed management. A cover crop 
can be a single crop or a combination of crops, including grasses and/or broadleaf crops. After harvest of a HM-1507 
Herbicide treated crop, planting of a cover crop is allowed provided the cover crop is not grazed or fed to livestock nor 
harvested for food. Terminate the cover crop through natural causes such as frost or intentional termination by herbicide 
application, crimping, rolling, tillage or cutting. All possible cover crops or cover crop combinations have not been tested 
for tolerance to this product. Before planting the cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended cover crops 
by conducting a field bioassay. Refer to the Field Bioassay for Cover Crops section for instructions on how to conduct a 
field bioassay. 
 
Field Bioassay for Cover Crops 
A field bioassay is a method of determining if herbicide residues are present in the soil at concentrations high enough to 
adversely affect crop growth. Conduct the field bioassay by planting several strips of the desired cover crop across the 
field which has been previously treated with HM-1507 Herbicide. Plant the cover crop strips perpendicular to the direction 
of the product application. Locate the strips so that all the different field conditions are encountered, including differences 
in field terrain, soil texture, organic matter, pH, and drainage. If the cover crop does not show adverse effects such as 
crop injury and/or stand reduction, the field can be planted to this cover crop. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, 
wait two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay. Alternatively, select a different 
cover crop and repeat the bioassay. Only plant cover crops that show acceptable tolerance in the field bioassay. 
 
Rate Ranges 
 
Where a rate range is within a soil texture/organic matter classification, use a lower rate on soils that are relatively coarse-
textured and/or low in organic matter. Use a higher rate on soils that are relatively fine-textured and/or high in organic 
matter. 
 
HM-1507 Herbicide, when applied as directed, will control or partially control the following weeds.

COTTON 
Post-Directed Application 
Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE in emerged cotton as a post-directed treatment using precision post-directed, hooded or 
shielded application equipment to provide complete coverage of emerged weeds. 
 
Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE at 2-2.33 pints per acre. HM-1507 HERBICIDE will control or partially control certain 
emerged broadleaf weeds such as hemp sesbania, waterhemp, pigweed species and morningglory species. Apply when 
broadleaf weeds have 2-4 true leaves in a minimum of 10 gallons spray solution per acre. HM-1507 HERBICIDE should 
be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v or crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v to emerged weeds if applied 
alone or in a tank mix with products that do not contain a built-in adjuvant. Do not add liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) to 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE, or HM-1507 HERBICIDE tank mixes in cotton. Refer to Table 2 for weeds controlled or partially 
controlled with soil activation of HM-1507 HERBICIDE if rainfall or irrigation occurs within 7-10 days after application. 
 
To broaden the weed control spectrum, HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with other labeled postdirected 
herbicides products with active ingredients such as diuron, DSMA, , MSMA , prometryn, or glyphosate (for use in 
glyphosate-tolerant cotton only), trifloxysulfuron-sodium. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for precautionary statements, 
restrictions, rates and a list of weeds controlled. 
 
Cotton foliage is not tolerant to HM-1507 HERBICIDE applications. Avoid contact to cotton foliage and stems that are not 
fully barked as unacceptable injury will occur. Application equipment should be calibrated (spray pressure, nozzle type 
and configuration, and orifice size) to avoid fine spray droplets contacting green cotton stems and foliage. 
 
Post-Directed Application Timing in Cotton 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied to cotton at least 6 inches in height through layby as a post-directed application. All 
post-directed applications should avoid spray contact with any green non-barked parts of the cotton plant or foliage as 
unacceptable injury will occur. Follow the application timing recommendations below for post-directed applications in 
cotton. 
 
Shielded and Hooded Applications 
Make a precision post-directed HM-1507 HERBICIDE application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with the 
cotton stem or foliage when cotton is at least 6 inches in height to avoid cotton injury. Use only hooded or shielded spray 
equipment to apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE in cotton that is at least to 6 inches in height. Adjust nozzles to provide full 
coverage of emerged target weeds. 
 
Layby Applications 
Make a post-directed HM-1507 HERBICIDE application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with any non-
barked portion of the cotton plant or foliage. Use precision post-directed equipment or hooded or shielded sprayers on 
cotton that has developed a minimum of 4 inches of brown bark through layby. Application equipment should be 
configured to provide full coverage of emerged target weeds. 
 
Restrictions - Cotton 
• Do not apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE later than 80 days before harvest. 
• Do not apply more than 2.33 pints per acre of HM-1507 HERBICIDE in any year and also adhere to the maximum 
rate that may be applied in each geographic region (refer to the HM-1507 HERBICIDE Regional Use Map). 
• Do not exceed 2.48 lb ai/A per year of S-metolachlor containing products. 
• Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock.

SOYBEAN 
[(NOT REGISTERD FOR USE BY CALIFORNIA)] 
 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE FOUNDATION TREATMENT FOR PLANNED TWO-PASS WEED CONTROL 
PROGRAMS IN ALL TILLAGE SYSTEMS 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE at 2 pt./A may be applied as a preemergence application on all soils to reduce competition from 
weeds for a period of up to 5 weeks when followed by a planned postemergence herbicide application in conventional and 
glyphosate-tolerant soybeans. Refer to Table 2 for weeds controlled or partially controlled. For the postemergence 
herbicide application, consult the selected postemergence herbicide manufacturer’s label for weeds controlled, optimum 
weed size, application rate, additional use directions, precautions, and limitations before use. 
 
Preplant Surface Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied at 2 
pt./A prior to soybean planting. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE in a tank 
mixture with a burndown herbicide product such as paraquat or glyphosate brands. To the extent possible, minimize 
movement of treated soil out of the row or untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished. 
Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for soybeans and 
weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to 
control the specific weeds remaining in the field, including glyphosate (such as, Touchdown or Roundup) brands (for use 
on glyphosate-tolerant soybeans only). 
 
Preplant Incorporated: Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE at 2 pt./A in conventional tillage systems where incorporation into 
the top 2 inches of soil occurs within 7 days after application using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator or similar 
implement capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the 
labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for soybeans and weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence 
treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field, 
including glyphosate brands (for use on glyphosate-tolerant soybeans only). 
 
Preemergence: Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE at 2 pt./A during planting (behind the planter), or after planting, but before 
weeds or soybeans emerge in conventional, conservation, or no-till systems. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, 
apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE in a tank mixture with a burndown herbicide product such as paraquat or glyphosate brands. 
Follow with a postemergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stag e for soybeans and 
weed spectrum. Recommended postemergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to 
control the specific weeds remaining in the field, including glyphosate (such as, 
Touchdown or Roundup) brands (for use on glyphosate-tolerant soybeans only). 
 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE IN CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE SYSTEMS 
For conventional tillage systems, HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied preplant incorporated or preemergence for 
control or partial control of weeds listed in Table 2. HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied alone, or in tank mix or followed 
sequentially with postemergence herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum or control newly emerged weeds. 
Refer to Table 3 for HM-1507 HERBICIDE rates. 
 
Preplant Incorporated Application 
Incorporate HM-1507 HERBICIDE uniformly into the top 2 inches of soil within 7 days after application and before planting 
using a disk, field cultivator, rolling cultivator, or similar implement. Apply HM-1507 HERBICIDE preplant incorporated if 
furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. 
 
Preemergence Application 
Apply during planting (behind the planter), or after planting, but before weeds or soybeans emerge. Dry weather following 
preemergence application of HM-1507 HERBICIDE may reduce effectiveness. If weeds develop, cultivate uniformly with 
shallow tilling equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage soybeans.

Refer to the above information and the individual product labels for use directions, use rates, and special 
precautions/restrictions. 
 
Restrictions 
• Do not exceed 3.71 lb ai/A/year of S-metolachlor-containing products 
• Refer to HM-1507 Herbicide Regional Use Map for the maximum rate of HM-1507 Herbicide (or 
other fomesafen-containing products) that may be applied in each geographic region. 
• Do not apply more than the maximum rates and number of applications of HM-1507 Herbicide to 
soybeans in each geographic region (refer to the HM-1507 Herbicide Regional Use Map). 
 
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be applied at 2-2.33 pt./A as an early postemergence application in soybeans. 
Necrotic spotting, bronzing, leaf crinkling or curling of soybean leaves may occur following postemergence 
application, but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. Refer to Table 2 for weeds 
controlled or partially controlled with soil activation of HM-1507 HERBICIDE if rainfall or irrigation occurs 
within 7-10 days after postemergence application. HM-1507 HERBICIDE alone may control or partially 
control certain emerged broadleaf weeds, however, for broad spectrum control, tank mix HM-1507 
HERBICIDE with glyphosate brands in glyphosate-tolerant soybeans only. Add nonionic surfactant (NIS) 
containing at least 75% surface-active agent, at 0.25% v/v to the final spray volume if HM-1507 HERBICIDE 
is applied alone or tank mixed with glyphosate products that do not contain a built-in adjuvant. Do not use 
crop oil concentrate (COC) when applying HM-1507 HERBICIDE postemergence as these spray adjuvants 
may increase soybean injury. 
 
Tank Mixtures for Postemergence Applications in Soybeans: 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with glyphosate herbicides only if applied to glyphosate-tolerant 
soybeans. 
 
Tank mixes may cause necrotic spotting, bronzing, crinkling or curling of soybean leaves that are present 
at the time of the postemergence application. 
 
HM-1507 HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with pyrethroid insecticides: 
 
Refer to this label and the labels of the tank mix partners for application methods and timings, pr ecautionary 
statements, restrictions, rates, and weeds or insects controlled. 
 
Precautions for Postemergence Application to Soybeans 
Apply only in water as the carrier for postemergence applications.
