RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Filename: HM-1603 Herbicide (5905-AEL) 101620 CLN .doc 4
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.
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC
representatives at (901) 761-0050.
Rotate the use of HM-1603 HERBICIDE or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds
in a field.
HM-1603 HERBICIDE is a postemergence herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial,
and perennial broadleaf weeds and brush in pastures, rangeland, and grass (hay, silage): grass grown for
seed; sugarcane; teff; wheat; conservation reserve program land; postharvest, fallow, crop stubble, set-
aside acres; general farmstead areas; certain noncrop areas; and for forest management.
• 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.
For resistance management, HM-1603 HERBICIDE is a Group 4 mode of action herbicide containing 2,4-
D acid and dicamba acid. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to HM-
1603 HERBICIDE and other Group 4 mode of action 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.
• 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.
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.
• 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 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.
Mode of Action
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Spray Coverage:
Sensitive Crop Precautions:
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Droplet Size
5
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and prevent
adequate spray coverage.
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative
humidity) and method of application {e.g., ground, and aerial) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator
must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
For best results, thoroughly clean sprayer equipment (tank, lines and nozzles) immediately after use by
flushing system with water and heavy duty detergent or other suitable tank cleaner.
Apply HM-1603 HERBICIDE at the rates and growth stages listed in Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless
instructed differently by section on “Food/Feed Crop Specific Information” or “Non-Food/Feed Use (Land
not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged)-Specific Information.” HM-1603 HERBICIDE may be applied using
water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. Sprayable fluid fertilizer may be used as the carrier in
preplant or pre-emergence use for all crops listed on this label. Postemergence uses with sprayable fluid
fertilizer may be made on pasture, hayland, or wheat crops only. The most effective application rate and
timing varies based on the target weed species (refer to Table I). In mixed populations of weeds the
correct rate is determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits
weeds to exceed the maximum size and will prevent adequate control. For certain specified applications
liquid fertilizer or oil may replace part or all of the water as diluent. If dry flowable (DF), wettable powder
(WP) or flowable (F) tank mix products are to be used, these should generally be added to the spray tank
first. Refer to the mixing directions on the labels of the tank mix products.
HM-1603 HERBICIDE may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers,
fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other
broadleaf plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage. At high temperatures (about 85 degrees or
higher), vapors from this product may cause injury to the aforementioned susceptible crops. These plants
are most sensitive to HM-1603 HERBICIDE during their development or growing stage. Do not treat
areas where either possible downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of
HM-1603 HERBICIDE with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs.
Irrigation: In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed
growth.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that
contain 2,4-D mixed with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a coarse
or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for
spinning atomizer nozzles.
Filename: HM-1603 Herbicide (5905-AEL) 101620 CLN .doc
HM-1603 HERBICIDE contains two active ingredients uniquely formulated to be used alone or tank mixed
with other listed products as well as liquid fertilizer solutions. HM-1603 HERBICIDE is readily absorbed
by plants through shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plants system, and accumulates in
areas of active growth. HM-1603 HERBICIDE interferes with the plants growth hormones (auxins)
resulting in death of many broadleaf weeds.

Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D
herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
All aerial equipment and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
appropriate carriers or surrogates.
Applicators must follow maximum application rates in the Use Specific Information sections of the label.
For use in non-food/feed crops only: the addition of liquid fertilizer (28-0-0, 32-0-0) solutions at 14 the
GPA spray solution has shown to give increased efficacy.
For aerial equipment, the boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade
diameter.
Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a
height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.
This requirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications.
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature
inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a medium or
more fine spray, apply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572) or a volume mean
diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that
might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops
include, but are not limited to cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage),
soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or
tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
When applications are made in a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must
compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-
target deposition and are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of
water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a
Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field.
For ground boom application, do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop
canopy.

Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use % GPA of sprayable liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0) per acre. Do not use
brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers.
Oil Concentrate
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the
following criteria:
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable oil and petroleum oil
concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils
have proven more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility
Test for Mix Components.

Adjuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be used for preplant, pre-emergence and between
cropping applications. Do not use crop oil concentrate for postemergence applications in food/feed crops
(i.e. grass (hay or silage), grass grown for seed, pastures, rangeland, and wheat)
Non-ionic Surfactant
The standard label recommendation is 2-4 pints of an appropriate 80% active non-ionic spray surfactant
per 100 gallons of water. (Rate will vary with the size and condition of weeds to be controlled. Use
lowest rate per 100 gallons when weeds are small and actively growing. As weeds increase in size and
or become hardened off, the rate of non-ionic surfactant will have to be increased to give optimum
coverage and control.)
The following active ingredients may be tank mixed with HM-1603 HERBICIDE according to the specific
tank mixing instructions in this label and respective product labels.

Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.
Always perform the Compatibility Test before mixing into the spray tank. Also, when using a sprayable
fluid fertilizer as the carrier, any product contained in PVA bags must first be completely dissolved in
water before the contents can be added to the fertilizer mix.
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes adjust
accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1
teaspoon for each pint of specified label rate per acre.
• Maximum seasonal use rate: Refer to Table 5.
Filename: HM-1603 Herbicide (5905-AEL) 101620 CLN .doc
When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the
solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine
particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not
compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution
is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the same tank.

Filename: HM-1603 Herbicide (5905-AEL) 101620 CLN .doc 13
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species
will require tank mixes for adequate control.
When perennial weeds are reaching maturity, mowing and allowing some regrowth will enhance control.
Difficult to control weeds may require a repeat application.
Do not use on bentgrass, susceptible grass pastures (such as carpetgrass, buffalograss, or St. Augustine
grass), lezpedeza, wild winter peas, vetch, clover, and alfalfa pastures as injury will occur.
Pre-harvest Interval (PHI); Dry hay and Silage; Treated grasses may be harvested for dry hay or silage
but do not harvest within 7 days of treatment.
Uses described in this section also pertain to small grains (including barley, corn, oats, rye, sudangrass,
or wheat) grown for pasture, hay, and silage only. Newly seeded areas including small grains grown for
pasture or hay, may be injured if rates of HM-1603 HERBICIDE are greater than 1 1/4 pints per acre are
applied.
In newly established hybrid Bermudagrass, Pangolagrass, and stargrasses {Cynodon spp.) use 1 to 2
pints of HM-1603 HERBICIDE per acre to control or suppress weeds after planting vegetative propagules
(stolens) of hybrid bermudagrasses. In addition to the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2, this rate of HM-
1603 HERBICIDE will control or suppress annual sedges, broadleaf signalgrass, crabgrass, and
goosegrass. Best results will be obtained if HM-1603 HERBICIDE is applied at the germinating stage of
weeds. Under favorable conditions, this is usually 7-10 days after planting these grasses. Reduced
control can be expected if weeds are allowed to reach 1” in height before application or if germination of
weeds occurs 10 days after application.
Grazing and Feeding Lactating Animals; Do not graze lactating dairy animals within 7 days of
treatment.
Grazing and Feeding Non-Lactating Animals; There is no waiting period between treatments and
grazing for non-lactating animals. Do not permit meat animals being finished for slaughter to graze
treated fields within 30 days of slaughter.
For pasture renovations, wait 3 weeks per 1 1/4 pints of HM-1603 HERBICIDE used per acre before

Avoid disturbing treated areas following application. Treatments may not kill weeds that develop from
seed or underground plant parts such as rhizomes or bulblets, after the effective period for HM>1603
HERBICIDE. For seedling control, a follow-up program or other cultural practices could be instituted.
HM-1603 HERBICIDE can be applied postharvest in the fall, spring, or summer during the fallow period or
to crop stubble/set-aside acres. Apply to weeds after crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost
or in the fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or summer. To aid in suppressing certain
perennial or biennial broadleaf weeds (including cotton regrowth), this product may be applied either
alone or in combination with other registered herbicides. For cotton regrowth, a minimum rate of 1 1/5
pints/acre is recommended.
See “Restrictions and Limitations” for the recommended interval between application and planting to
prevent crop injury.
In tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides, apply 1.0 -1.25 pints of HM-1603 HERBICIDE
per acre for control of annual weeds, or 1.25 - 4.25 pints of HM-1603 HERBICIDE per acre for control of
biennial and perennial weeds
PREPLANT DIRECTIONS (POSTHARVEST, FALLOW, CROP STUBBLE, SET-ASIDE) FOR
BROADLEAF WEED CONTROL
Apply 1-3 2/3 pints of HM-1603 HERBICIDE per acre. Refer to Table 1 to determine use rates for
specific targeted weed species. For best performance, apply HM-1603 HERBICIDE when annual weeds
are less than 6" tall, when biennial weeds are in the rosette stage and to perennial weed regrowth in late
summer or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment. The most effective control of upright perennial
broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle and Jerusalem artichoke occurs if HM-1603 HERBICIDE is
applied when the majority of weeds have at least 4-6" of regrowth or for weeds such as field bindweed
and hedge bindweed that are in or beyond the full bloom stage. The addition of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0,
32-0-0) at % GPA has shown to increase efficacy.

HM-1603 HERBICIDE contains 0.30 pounds a.e. of 2,4-D per pint. When tank mixing with products that
contain 2,4-D, do not exceed a combined total of 4.0 pounds of a.e. per acre per year.
Spray when leaves have reached full size but have not hardened due to drought or maturity.
Spray individual plants to wet with handgun.
For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard to control species, direct spray stream to base of
stems to wet the stem at soil surface in addition to wetting the foliage.
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
The solution should remain milky colored without an oily layer on top when under agitation. If an oily
layer forms, increase the amount of emulsifier or change to a more effective emulsifier.
Do not exceed 40 gallons of spray solution per treated acre per application. 4 pints of HM-1603
HERBICIDE in forty gallons of spray solution contains 0.9 pounds acid equivalent of dicamba and 1.2
pounds acid equivalent of 2,4-D. Spray plants to wet. Do not allow this spray mix to contact desirable
vegetation.
Water; Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank with the desired quantity of clean water.
Maintain constant agitation during complete mixing procedure.
Emulsifier: Add 0.5% volume to volume of water.
HM-1603 HERBICIDE: add 1.5 gallons per 100 gallons of total intended solution.
Diesel Oil; Add 10 gallons per 100 gallons of total intended solution.
Increase diesel oil content to 15% or 15 gallons of diesel oil per 100 gallons of total solution.
Spray in late winter and early spring before plants break dormancy.
Spray the bottom 24" of the target stem to wet on all sides.
For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard to kill species direct the spray solution to the base of
target stems to wet the soil at the stem/soil junction in addition to wetting the stem.
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
HM-1603 HERBICIDE may be applied using water or oil and water emulsions in spot application to
control undesirable vegetation using handgun or similar types of application equipment. In addition to
weed species listed in Tables 1 and 2, these treatments may be used to control or suppress woody plant
species listed in Table 7.
To control brush, briars, and weeds along fence-rows surrounding pasture and ranch lands, and fallow
fields, use a tank mix of 1.5% HM-1603 HERBICIDE, 88.5% water, 10% diesel oil, and sufficient
emulsifier (to mix the diesel and emulsifier). The diesel oil in this tank mix will damage or kill desirable
grasses and should not be used in pastures or where damage to desirable species cannot be tolerated.
Maintain constant agitation during application. Under good agitation, the spray solution should be milky
white with no oil layer on top. If oil layer forms, increase the amount of emulsifier or change to a more
effective emulsifier.
FOR CUT SURFACE TREATMENTS

Foliage Spray: To control alder and susceptible woody plants before planting forest seedlings, apply up
to 2 quarts of HM>1603 Herbicide per acre In a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. If desired,
apply as a water spray including up to 1 quart of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil concentrate per
gallon of water (see "Mixing Instructions"). For best results, apply after alder foliage has reached full size.
Do not make more than one cut surface application per year.
Do not use more than 8.8 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution.
Forest Site Preparation
Budbreak Spray: For control of alder, susceptible broadleaf weeds, and susceptible woody plants before
planting forest seedlings, apply up to 2 quarts of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons
spray mixture per acre. Apply as an oil spray (see Mixing Instructions) after alder buds break, but
before foliage is 1/4 full size. A water spray including 2 to 4 quarts per acre of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil,
or crop oil concentrate may also be used.
Conifer Release: Some Conifers are more susceptible to HM-1603 Herbicide than others. Prior to
application, consult your local Forestry agency about use pattern and history of use. To control alder,
susceptible broadleaf weeds, and susceptible woody plants in young conifer stands, apply up to 2 pints
per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. This spring foliage treatment should be
applied as a water spray when 3/4 of the brush foliage has full size leaves and before new conifer growth
reaches 2 inches in length. Such stages usually occur between early May and mid-June, but application
timing should be based on growth stages of brush and conifers. Application may cause leader
deformation and other conifer injury, but trees should overcome it during the next growing season.
To control hazel brush in the Lake states, apply up to 2 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre in a
minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. Apply as a water spray when new shoot growth of hazel is
complete (usually mid-July).
After conifer species such as white pine, ponderosa pine, jack pine, red pine, black spruce, white spruce,
red spruce, and balsam fir crease growth and harden off and brush is still actively growing in late
summer, apply up to 3 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per
acre. Apply as a water spray to control certain competing hardwoods such as alder, aspen, birch, hazel
and willow. However, if possible injury cannot be tolerated, do not use since this treatment may cause
conifer injury.
To control tanoak, madrone, ceanothus, canyon live oak, and manzanita, and to release Douglas fir,
hemlock, Sitka spruce or grand fir, apply up to 3 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre in a minimum of 10
gallons spray mixture per acre. This spring foliage treatment should be applied as a water spray
including, if desired, up to 1 quart of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil concentrate per gallon of water
(see Mixing Instructions). Make application before new growth on Douglas fir is 2 inches long. To
release ponderosa pine from the same species, treat before new pine growth begins in the spring.
Addition of oil or oil concentrate may cause unacceptable injury to pines. For dormant applications in late
winter or early spring for control of susceptible woody species such as alder, willow, poplars, cherry, vine
maple, ceanothus, tanoak, madrone, and manzanita, apply up to 3 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre
in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. This dormant treatment should be applied in diesel oil,
fuel oil, stove oil, or other suitable diluent such as water plus crop oil concentrate (see Mixing
Instructions). Do not use in plantations where pine and larch are among the desired crop species.
_______________________________FOREST MANAGEMENT _______________________________
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation. Limited to one
broadcast application per year.
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
Filename: HM-1603 Herbicide (5905-AEL) 101620 CLN .doc 23
Forest Roadsides: To control susceptible broadleaf weeds and woody plants on forest roadsides, apply
1 to 3 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. Apply as
a water spray and, if desired, include up to 3 quarts per acre of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil
concentrate (see Mixing Instructions). Apply when sufficient foliage is present for absorption.
Non-Crop Area Restrictions:
Postemergence (annual and perennial weeds):
• Limited to 2 applications per year.
• Minimum of 30 days between applications.
Postemergence (woody plants)
• Limited to one application per year.
Do not apply more than 4 % pints of HM-1603 Herbicide /Acre for a single application. (Equivalent to 1.4
lbs. 2,4-D acid and 1.1 lbs. dicamba acid per acre).
For control of many broadleaf weeds and small woody plants, apply 2/3 to 2 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide
per acre. Use the high rate for woody plants. Applications may be as broadcast sprays, small area
sprays or spot treatments. For small areas or spot spraying, use 2 fluid ounces of HM-1603 Herbicide
per gallon of water and spray weeds to runoff. Regardless of the method of application, use adequate
spray volume for full coverage of weeds. Preferred application timing is in the early spring when sufficient
weeds have emerged, and when weeds are small and actively growing, but before weeds are too mature.
Summer applications to older, drought-stressed weeds are less effective. However, weeds are more
susceptible again in the fall when cooler, wetter conditions support active growth before a killing frost For
fall treatment of mature weeds or perennial weed regrovrth, use up to 1.0 pints of HM-1603 Herbicide per
acre. Several seasons of spring plus fall treatments may be necessary to control certain perennials. Use
of oil sprays or the addition of spray adjuvants increases the risk of damage to desirable ground covers.
