PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is intended for selective post-emergence control o f certain listed broadleaf weeds and sedges in
|
||
beans, corn, peanuts, peas, peppermint, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and spearmint. Omni Brand Bentazon 4 does not control
|
||
grasses.
|
||
|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is effective mainly through contact action; therefore, listed weeds must be thoroughly covered with
|
||
spray.
|
||
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
All labeled crops are tolerant to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 . Leaf speckling or bronzing may occur, but plants generally outgrow
|
||
this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced.
|
||
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a s trong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner accor ding to the
|
||
manufacturer's directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 contains bentazon and is classified in the benzothi adiazinone chemical class as a Group 6
|
||
herbicide, photosynthesis inhibitor at photosystem II site B.
|
||
|
||
Herbicide resistance is defined as the inherited ab ility of a plant to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of
|
||
herbicide normally lethal to the wild type. In a plant, resistance may be naturally occurring or induced by such techniques as
|
||
genetic engineering or selection of variants produced by tissue culture or mutagenesis. Any weed population may contain or
|
||
develop plants that are naturally resistant to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and other Group 6 herbicides. Weed species with
|
||
acquired resistance to Group 6 herbicides may event ually dominate the weed population if Group 6 herbi cides are used
|
||
repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted spec ies. This may result in
|
||
partial or total loss of control of those species by Omni Brand Bentazon 4 or other Group 6 herbicides.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, consider the below best practices for resistance management:
|
||
Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as wee d-free as possible.
|
||
To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple
|
||
weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivati on, biological management practices, and crop rotation.
|
||
Fields with difficult to control weeds should be r otated to crops that allow the use of herbicides wi th alternative
|
||
mechanisms of action or different management practices.
|
||
To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes t o produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest

||
|
||

|
||
|
||
and post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed s eed-bank.
|
||
Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement o f weed seed or vegetative propagules. Thoroughly cl ean plant
|
||
residues from equipment before leaving fields.
|
||
Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by manag ing field borders.
|
||
Identify weeds present in the field through scouti ng 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 mechanism s of action.
|
||
Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rat e needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
|
||
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 t he 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.
|
||
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes wit h an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-chemical methods to
|
||
remove escapes.
|
||
Monitor treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
|
||
Scout field(s) before and after application.
|
||
Report lack of performance to Helena Agri-Enterpri ses, LLC or their representative at (863) 682-6698.
|
||
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include : (1) failure to control a weed species normally co ntrolled by the herbicide
|
||
at the dose applied, especially if control is achie ved 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.
|
||
|
||
Contact your local sales representative, extension agent, or certified crop advisors to find out if su spected resistant weeds
|
||
to this MOA have been found in your region. If resi stant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application
|
||
rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective mechanisms of
|
||
action for each target weed.

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
When applying aerially to crops, do not release sp ray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop c anopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
Applicators are required to select nozzles that de liver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ASABE
|
||
Standard S-572.3.
|
||
When applying to crops via aerial application equi pment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to
|
||
minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or
|
||
90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
When applying to crops via aerial application equi pment, applicators must use ½ swath displacement up wind at the
|
||
downwind edge of the field.
|
||
Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications
|
||
When using ground application equipment, apply wit h nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the groun d or crop
|
||
canopy.
|
||
Applicators are required to select nozzles that de liver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ASABE
|
||
Standard S-572.3.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Sensitive Species
|
||
Bentazon can affect non-target plant species outside the treatment area. To limit adverse effects to non-target plants, the
|
||
applicator must avoid making applications when wind can facilitate off-site movement of bentazon in the direction of areas
|
||
such as forested areas, riparian areas, wet lands, and areas that serve as habitat for desirable and protected animal
|
||
species.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply by air if sensitive crop species (such as cotton, sugar beets, sun flowers, or okra) are within 200 feet
|
||
downwind.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-relat ed factors determines the potential for spray drift . The applicator is
|
||
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
|
||
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage a nd control. The presence of sensitive species nearb y, the environmental
|
||
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an app licator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYI NG LARGER
|
||
DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTEN TIAL, BUT WILL NOT PRE VENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE
|
||
IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT ALCONDI TIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity ,
|
||
and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the h ighest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
|
||
produce larger droplets.
|
||
Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommend ed for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
|
||
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER F LOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY
|
||
NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed f or the intended application. With most nozzle type s, narrower
|
||
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozz les with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstr eam will produce
|
||
larger droplets than other orientations. AVOIDING S PRAY DRJFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
|
||
APPLICATOR.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc a nd core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce
|
||
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potentia l. Therefore a shorter boom length is recommended.
|
||
Application Height - Application more than 10 ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (i f specified) which provides uniform coverage reduce s the exposure of
|
||
droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
|
||
factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
|
||
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar be familiar with local wind patterns and
|
||
how they affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to red uce effects of
|
||
evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature invers ion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air m ixing, which causes small
|
||
suspended droplets to remain close to the ground an d move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperatu re inversions are
|
||
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
|
||
They begin to form as the sun sets and often contin ue into the morning. Their presence can be indicate d by ground fog;
|
||
however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
|
||
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves latera lly in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditi ons) indicates an
|
||
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidl y dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibi lity of the applicator to
|
||
verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Applications can be made to actively growing listed weeds as broadcast, band, or spot spray applicatio ns at the rates and
|
||
growth stages listed in the weed tables. The most e ffective control will result from making post-emerg ence applications of
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 early, when weeds are small. Early application produces the most beneficial effect on weed control
|
||
(exceptions: yellow nutsedge and Canada thistle), a llows use of the lower rate (depending on weed spec ies), and makes
|
||
thorough spray coverage easier to obtain. Delaying application permits listed weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and
|
||
will prevent adequate control. DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from target area or when wind speed is greater than
|
||
10 mph. Apply specified rates of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 to actively growing listed weeds before they reach the maximum
|
||
sizes listed in Table 1. Application Rates for Specific Weed Growth Stages For All Crops Except Rice . For the specified
|
||
use rates of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 in rice, refer to Table 3. Application Rates for Rice - Flooded Field s and Table 4.
|
||
Application Rates for Rice - Drained Fields in Crop-Specific Information section.
|
||
|
||
Irrigation
|
||
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth beca use listed weeds
|
||
growing under drought conditions usually are not satisfactorily controlled.
|
||
|
||
Spray Coverage
|
||
Listed weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate
|
||
spray coverage.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
DO NOT cultivate within 5 days before applying Omni Brand Bentazon 4 or 7 days after application. Timely cultivation after
|
||
7 days may help provide season-long control.

ADDITIVES
|
||
To achieve consistent listed weed control, one of t he following additives is needed: crop oil concentr ate, urea ammonium
|
||
nitrate, or ammonium sulfate. Additives may cause s ome leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vi gor is not reduced.
|
||
The potential for leaf burn is increased when relat ive humidity and temperature are high. See Table 2. Additive Rate Per
|
||
Acre for additive rates.
|
||
|
||
Oil Concentrate
|
||
A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate may be added to the spray tank for certain weed problems. The oil concentrate must contain
|
||
either a petroleum oil or vegetable oil base and mu st meet all of the following criteria:
|
||
be nonphytotoxic,
|
||
contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and
|
||
be successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrate s should contain
|
||
emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactor y than unrefined
|
||
vegetable oils. For additional information, see Application Mixing Information .
|
||
|
||
Adding an oil concentrate may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vigor is not red uced. The potential
|
||
for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high. Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn,
|
||
so refer to your supplier for information concerning successful local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate.
|
||
|
||
Oil Concentrate + Nitrogen Solution
|
||
A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate (as referred to above) plus a nitrogen solution (UAN or AMS) can be added to the spray tank
|
||
with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 .
|
||
|
||
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN)
|
||
Commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution, UAN may be added in place of other spray additives to improve
|
||
control of cocklebur, devils claw, Pennsylvania sma rtweed, velvetleaf, Venice mallow, wild mustard, an d wild sunflower.
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 plus a nitrogen solution will not provide adequate control of common ragweed and common
|
||
lambsquarters. If these weeds or other weeds requir ing oil concentrate are present in addition to velv etleaf, then oil
|
||
concentrate should also be used.
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)
|
||
When used, add 3 quarts of liquid AMS (8-8-0 analys is) or 2.5 pounds of granular AMS. Use only fine fe ed-grade or spray-
|
||
grade AMS because inferior grades of AMS DO NOT dissolve adequately and can plug spray nozzles. He lena Agri-
|
||
Enterprises, LLC does not recommend applying AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per acre because of potential problems
|
||
with precipitation in reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been demonstrated to be successful in local experience.

Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing additives and/or other pesticides, always perform a compatibility jar test.
|
||
|
||
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly.
|
||
Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.
|
||
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mix ing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 tea spoon for each
|
||
pint of recommended label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component add itions. When the
|
||
components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solutio n 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 c ompatible, repeat the compatibility test with the a ddition of a suitable agent.
|
||
If the solution is then compatible, use the compati ble agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO
|
||
NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
When mixing additives and/or other pesticides in a spray tank, add the products to be used in the following sequence:

Addition of Oil Concentrate
|
||
A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate must be added to th e spray tank for optimum weed control. DO NOT apply oil concentrate
|
||
in tank mix with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 over the top of ornamentals. The oil concentrate m ust contain either a
|
||
petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil base [such as methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC)] and must meet all
|
||
the following criteria:
|
||
• Nonphytotoxic,
|
||
• Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
• Provide good mixing quality in the jar test (see f ollowing), and
|
||
• Successful in local experience.
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil concentrates should contain
|
||
emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils are more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils.
|
||
To determine the suitability of oil concentrates with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 , conduct the following jar test.
|
||
|
||

Use Information
|
||
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is a post emergence herbicide for selective contro l of listed broadleaf weeds, annual sedges, and
|
||
yellow nutsedge in the following use sites:
|
||
Established turfgrass
|
||
Ornamentals
|
||
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 does not control grasses. Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is effective mainly through contact activity;
|
||
therefore, all listed target weeds must be thorough ly covered with spray. Large weed leaf canopies she lter smaller weeds
|
||
and prevent adequate spray coverage.

|
||
|
||
Application Information
|
||
|
||
Sprayer Equipment
|
||
Apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 with handheld pump-up and knapsack sprayers, or ho se-end type sprayers. Clean the
|
||
sprayer thoroughly before applying Omni Brand Bentazon 4 , particularly if the herbicide previously used has the potential
|
||
to injure turfgrass or ornamentals.
|
||
|
||
Apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 with a minimum water volume of 1 gallon per 1,000 sq. ft. and a minimum spray pressure of
|

Application Mixing Instructions
|
||
Fill a thoroughly clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 full of clean water. Add Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and shake or stir the spray
|
||
solution to mix thoroughly. Add the remaining volum e of water and shake or stir the spray solution to mix thoroughly. Mix
|
||
only enough spray solution for one use. Use a fresh spray mixture for each application.
|
||
|
||
Addition of Oil Concentrate
|
||
A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate must be added to th e spray tank for optimum weed control. DO NOT apply oil concentrate
|
||
in tank mix with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 over the top of ornamentals. The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum-
|
||
oil or vegetable-oil base and must meet all the following criteria:
|
||
• Nonphytotoxic,
|
||
• Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
• Provide good mixing quality in the jar test (see f ollowing), and
|
||
• Successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil concentr ates should contain
|
||
emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils are more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils.
|
||
Application Mixing Instructions with Oil Concentrat e
|
||
Fill a thoroughly clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 full with clean water. Add Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and shake or stir the spray
|
||
solution so Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and water mix thoroughly. Add the oil concentrate and the remaining volume of water.
|
||
Again, shake or stir the spray solution so the Omni Brand Bentazon 4 , oil concentrate and water mix thoroughly. Mix onl y
|
||
enough spray solution for one use; use a fresh spra y mixture for each application.
|
||
|
||
Oil Concentrate Rate
|
||
For 1.0 to 2.0 gallons of water volume per 1,000 sq . ft. use 0.75 fl. oz. (5 teaspoons) of oil concent rate or a proportionate
|
||
amount for other-sized areas.
|
||
|
||
Adding oil concentrate to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 may cause a slight leaf burn on desired plants (tu rfgrass, ornamentals)
|
||
when relative humidity and temperature are high. Re fer to your Omni Brand Bentazon 4 supplier for information on
|
||
successful local experience before purchasing oil concentrate.
|

Specific Use Site Information
|
||
Established Residential Turfgrass
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 may be used on established bluegrass, fescue, bent grass, Bermudagrass, Bahiagrass,
|
||
centipedegrass, zoysiagrass, ryegrass, and St. Augustinegrass.
|
||
|
||
Omni Brand Bentazon 4 will control yellow nutsedge in established turfgrass. Refer to Table 9 for water volumes and Omni
|
||
Brand Bentazon 4 use rates.
|
||
|
||
To control yellow nutsedge, apply no more than 4.5 teaspoons (0.75 fl. oz.) of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 per 1,000 sq. ft. in
|
||
a single application when plants are 6 to 8 inches tall. If desired control is not obtained, make a se cond application at the
|
||
same rate 7 to 10 days later or when new growth app ears. Apply no more than 9 teaspoons (1.5 fl. oz.) of Omni Brand
|
||
Bentazon 4 per 1,000 sq. ft. per calendar year.
