Engineering Controls Statement 
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the require­
ments listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for 
agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)]. When han­
dlers 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. 
User Safety Recommendations 
Users should: 
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using 
tobacco, or using the toilet. 
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. 
Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If pesti­
cide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 
• 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 
This pesticide may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. 
DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface 
water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high 
water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic 
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT con­
taminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters 
or rinsate.

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated 
with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this 
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly 
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater 
contamination. Application around a cistern or well may 
result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater. 
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy 
herbicides such as 2,4-0 have been associated with 
mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exer­
cised when handling 2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to pre­
vent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed 
systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce 
the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading 
equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help 
prevent groundwater contamination. 
Endangered Species Concerns 
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or other­
wise harm an endangered species or adversely modify their 
habitat is a violation of federal law. 
Directions For Use 
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner 
inconsistent with its labeling. 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 pesti­
cide regulation. 
DO NOT allow people or pets to enter the treated area until 
sprays have dried. 
Unless otherwise directed in supplemental labeling, all appli­
cable directions, restrictions, precautions and Conditions of 
Sale and Warranty are to be followed. This labeling must 
be in the user's possession during application.

General Information 
BAS 452 18 H Herbicide is a selective postemergence her­
bicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial, 
and perennial broadleaf weeds and brush in grass forages 
and selected row crops. 
Mode of Action 
BAS 45218 H contains two active ingredients: dicamba and 
2,4-D. BAS 452 18 H is readily absorbed by plants through 
shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's 
system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. 
BAS 452 18 H interferes with the plant's growth hormones 
(auxins) resulting in death of many broad leaf weeds. 
Cleaning Spray Equipment 
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong 
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the 
manufacturer's directions, and then triple rinsing the equip­
ment before and after applying this product. 
Application Instructions 
Apply BAS 452 18 H at the rates and growth stages listed in 
Table 1 and Table 2 as follows unless instructed differently 
by Food/Feed Crop-specific Information or 
Nonfood/Feed Use-specific Information. Applications 
can be made to actively growing weeds as aerial, broadcast, 
band, or spot spray applications. BAS 45218 H may be 
applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. 
Sprayable fluid fertilizer may be used as the carrier in pre­
plant or preemergence uses 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 1 and Table 2). 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 stated and will prevent adequate control.

All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly 
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or sur­
rogates. 
Irrigation 
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treat­
ment to ensure active weed growth. 
Spray Coverage 
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Oense leaf 
canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate 
spray coverage. 
Sensitive Crop Precautions 
BAS 45218 H Herbicide may cause injury to desirable 
trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit 
trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans,' sun­
flowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other broad leaf plants when 
contacting their roots, stems or foliage. These plants are 
most sensitive to BAS 452 18 H 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 BAS 452 18 H with the roots of desirable 
plants such as trees and shrubs. 
Avoid making applications when spray particles may be car­
ried by air currents to areas »,here sensitive crops and plants 
are growing. DO NOT spray near sensitive plants if wind is 
gusty or in excess of 5 mph and moving in the direction of 
nearby sensitive crops, or if a temperature inversion exists. 
However, always make applications when there is some air 
movement to determine the direction and distance of possi­
ble spray drift. Leave an adequate buffer zone between area 
to be treated and sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less 
likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. 
Agriculturally-approved drift-reducing additives may be used. 
DO NOT use aerial equipment or apply BAS 45218 H 
when sensitive crops and plants are growing in the vicinity of 
area to be treated. 
Spray Drift Management 
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind 
direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and 
method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemiga­
tion) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evalu­
ate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when 
applying this product. 
Droplet Size 
Use coarse sprays (volume median diameter of 400 microns 
or more) to avoid potential herbicide drift. Select nozzles that 
are designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray par­
ticles (less than 200 microns). Examples of nozzles designed 
to produce coarse sprays via ground applications are 
DelavanGi> Raindrops, Spraying Systems XR (excluding 
110 tips) flat fans, Turbo TeeJetGi>, Turbo FloodJe~, or 
large capacity flood nozzles such as 010, TK1 0, or greater 
capacity tips. 
Wind Speed 
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the sole active 
ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed 
with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, 
5 
apply only as a coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard 
572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater 
for spinning atomizer nozzles. 
DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only 
apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target dep­
osition and there 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. 
Temperature Inversions 
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 tem­
perature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. 
Other State and Local Requirements 
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift 
requirements regarding the application of 2,4-0 herbicides. 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be 
observed. 
Susceptible Plants 
DO NOT apply under circumstances where spray drift may 
occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be dam­
aged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or con­
sumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, 
cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees 
(foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflow­
ers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. 
Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may 
injure susceptible broad leaf plants. 
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment 
Water Volume: Use 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Use 
the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegeta­
tion. 
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro­
duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Make applica­
tions at the lowest safe height to reduce the exposure of 
spray droplets to evaporation and wind. All aerial and ground 
application equipment must be properly maintained and cali­
brated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. 
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. 
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will 
be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate 
for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. 
For ground boom application: DO NOT apply with a noz­
zle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.' '"

The applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions 
to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling 
as well as applicable state and local regulations and 
ordinances. 
DO NOT use aerial equipment if spray particles can be car­
ried by the wind into areas where sensitive crops or plants 
are growing or when temperature inversions exist.

Ground Application (Banding) 
When applying BAS 452 18 H Herbicide by banding, deter­
mine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed 
using the following formula: 
Bandwidth in inches Broadcast rate Banding herbicide 
Row width in inches x rate per acre per acre 
Bandwidth in inches Broadcast Banding water 
Row width in inches x volume per acre volume per acre . 
Ground Application (Broadcast) 
Water Volume: Use 5 to 40 gallons of spray solution per 
broadcast acre for optimal performance. Use the higher 
spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation. 
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro­
duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with 
nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed 
coverage. 
Spot or Small Area Application 
BAS 452 18 H may be applied to individual clumps or small 
areas of undesirable vegetation using handgun or similar 
types of application equipment. Apply diluted sprays to allow 
complete wetting (up to runoff) of foliage and stems. For 
knapsack or other small capacity sprayers, prepare a solu­
tion of BAS 45218 H in water according to Table 3 (assum­
ing that the spot treatment rate equates to 60 gallons per 
acre on the broadcast basis). Adding a surfactant (0.5% by 
volume) can help improve control. 
For example, 5 gallons (40 pints or 640 fluid ounces) of her­
bicide solution would require 0.2 pints (3.2 fluid ounces) of 
surfactant. 
DO NOT make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or 
band treatments. 
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro­
duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with 
nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed 
coverage.

'1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons 
Additives 
To improve burn down of emerged weeds, surfactants and/or 
low use rate of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) or crop oil 
concentrate (COG) may be used with BAS 45218 H or 
BAS 45218 H tank mixes applied after the weeds have 
emerged. Crop oil concentrate is for nonfood/feed crop uses 
only. DO NOT apply tank mixes that include ammonium sul­
fate (AMS) or crop oil concentrate to any food/feed crop use 
listed on this label. For food/feed crop uses, DO NOT use 
11 
liquid fertilizers that contain AMS as a source of nitrogen 
because tolerances in commodities derived from the crop 
may contain residues that exceed established tolerances. 
Consult your local BASF representative for recommendations 
for your area. For additional information, see Compatibility 
Test for Mix Components. 
Oil Concentrate 
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or 
vegetable oil base and must meet ALL of the following 
criteria: 
• Nonphytotoxic 
• Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients 
• Provide good mixing quality in the jar test 
• Successful in local experience 
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; howev­
er, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates should contain 
emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined veg­
etable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined veg­
etable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility 
Test for Mix Components. . 
Adjuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be used for 
preplant, preemergence and between cropping applications. 
DO NOT use crop oil concentrate for postemergence appli­
cations in food/feed crops (Le., sorghum, grass (hay or 
silage), pastures, rangeland, sugarcane and wheat). 
Nitrogen Source 
Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use one quart of sprayable liq­
uid fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) per acre. DO NOT use brass 
or aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers. 
Nonionic Surfactant 
The standard label recommendation is 2 to 4 pints of an 
80% active nonionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of 
water. For certain weeds, use a higher spray surfactant rate. 
Table 4. Additive Rate Per Acre 
Additive Rate Per Acre 
Nonionic surfactant 2 to 4 pints per 100 gallons 
Sprayable liquid fertilizers 2 to 4 quarts

See Crop-specific Information for more details. Read and 
follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and 
Directions For Use on all products involved in tank mixing. 
The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. 
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury 
may result from mixing BAS 452 18 H with other pesticides 
(fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, 
or fertilizers. BASF does not recommend using tank mixes 
other than those listed on BASF labeling. Local agricultural 
authorities may be a source of information when using other 
than BASF recommended tank mixes. 
Compatibility Test for Mix Components 
Before mixing components, 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 according­
ly. Only use water from the intended source at the source 
temperature. 
Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing 
Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for 
each pint of recommended label rate per acre. 
Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component 
additions. 
When the components have all been added to the jar, let the 
solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for uni­
formity and stability. The spray solution should not have free 
oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate to the 
bottom, nor thick (c1abbered) texture. If the spray solution is 
not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addi­
tion of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then 
compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its 
label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the 
ingredients in the same tank. 
Mixing Order 
If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each compo­
nent has been added. Maintain constant agitation during 
application. 
1) Water*. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer 
tank 1/2 full of clean water. 
2) Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing 
and application. 
3) Products in PYA bags. Place any product contained in 
water-soluble PYA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all 
water-soluble PYA bags have fully dissolved and the prod­
uct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing. 
4) Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, 
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or sus po­
emulsions). 
5) Water-soluble products (such as BAS 452 18 H). 
6) Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate 
when applicable). 
7) Water-soluble additives (such as liquid fertilizers 
[28-0-0, 32-0-0] when applicable). 
8) Remaining quantity of water. 
• If sprayable fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier, BAS 452 18 H 
must be diluted with a minimum of 5 parts water to 1 part 
BAS 45218 H . Then add 0.25% to 0.5% volume/volume of a 
nonionic surfactant to the dilution before adding it to the 
sprayable fluid fertilizer to reduce the concern for compatibility 
problems with this mix. Always perform the Compatibility Test 
for Mix Components before mixing into the spray tank. Also, 
when using a sprayable fluid fertilizer as t~e carrier, any product 
contained in PYA bags must first be completely dissolved in water 
before the contents can be added to the fertilizer mix. 
Restrictions and Limitations 
• Maximum seasonal use rate: Refer to Table 5. 
• Preharvest Interval (PHI): Refer to Food/Feed Crop­
specific Information 
• Restricted-entry Interval (REI): 48 hours 
• Crop Rotational Restrictions: 
12 
The interval between application and planting rotational 
crop is given below. Always exclude counting days when 
the ground is frozen. Planting at intervals less than speci­
fied below may result in crop injury. Moisture is essential for 
the degradation of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather pre­
vails, use cultivation to allow herbicide contact with moist 
soil.

Planting/replanting restrictions for BAS 452 18 H 
Herbicide applications of 6 pints per acre or less: No 
rotational cropping restrictions apply at 120 days or more 
following application. Additionally, for annual crop uses in this 
label including sorghum, follow the preplant use directions in 
Food/Feed Crop-specific Information. For barley, oat, 
wheat, and other grass seedings, the inteNal between appli­
cation and planting is 10 days per pint per acre. 
Planting/replanting restrictions for applications of 
more than 6 pints and up to 8 pints of BAS 45218 H 
per acre: Corn, sorghum, cotton (east of the Rocky 
Mountains) and all other crops grown in areas with 30" or 
more of annual rainfall may be planted 120 days or more 
after application. Barley, oat, wheat, and other grass seed­
ings may be planted if the inteNal from application to plant­
ing is 10 days per pint per acre east of the Mississippi River 
and 15 days per pint per acre west of the Mississippi River. 
For all other crops in areas with less than 30" of annual rain­
fall, the inteNal between application and planting is 180 days 
or more. 
Rainfast period: Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 
hours after postemergence applications may reduce the 
effectiveness of BAS 45218 H. 
Stress: DO NOT apply to crops under stress, such as 
stress due to lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbi­
cide injury, mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating tempera­
tures, because unsatisfactory control may result. 
DO NOT apply to crops that show injury (leaf phytotoxicity 
or plant stunting) produced by any other prior herbicide 
applications because this injury may be enhanced or pro­
longed. 
DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation equipment. 
DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for 
domestic purposes. 
This product cannot ,be used to formulate or reformulate 
any other pesticide product.

Food/Feed Crop-specific Information 
Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage) 
BAS 452 18 H Herbicide is recommended for use for pasture (including pasture grown for hay), rangeland and grass grown 
for hay or silage. ' 
If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural Use Requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are applicable. DO NOT 
cut forage for hay within 7 days of application. 
Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species will require 
tank mixes for adequate control. 
Rates above 4 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre are for spot treatments only. 
Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed a total of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a growing 
season. Minimum of 30 days is required between applications. 
Uses described in this section also pertain to small grains (such as barley, corn, forage sorghum, 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 BAS 452 18 H greater than 2 pints per acre are applied. 
In newly established hybrid Bermudagrass, Pangolagrass, and stargrasses (Cynodon spp.), use 2 to 4 pints of 
BAS 452 18 H per acre to control or suppress weeds after planting vegetative propagules (stolons) of hybrid 
Bermudagrasses. In addition to the weeds listed in Table 1 and Table 2, this rate of BAS 452 18 H will control or suppress 
annual sedges, broadleaf signalgrass, crabgrass, and goosegrass. For susceptible annual and biennial broad leaf weeds 
DO NOT exceed 2.75 pints per acre per application. 
Best results will be obtained if BAS 452 18 H is applied at the germinating stage of weeds. Under favorable conditions, this 
is usually 7 to 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 1 0 days after application. 
DO NOT use on bentgrass, susceptible grass pastures (such as carpetgrass, buffalograss, or St. Augustinegrass), les­
pedeza, wild winter peas, vetch, clover, and alfalfa pastures as injury will occur. 
When perennial weeds are reaching maturity, mowing and allowing some regrowth will enhance control. Difficult to control 
weeds and brush may require repeat applications. 
For pasture renovations, wait 3 weeks per quart (2 pints) of BAS 452 18 H used per acre before interseeding or injury may 
occur. 
If grasses are grown for seed or for seed-down purposes, DO NOT apply after grass reaches the joint stage. 
For program lands, such as Conservation Reserve Program, consult program rules to determirie whether grass or hay may 
be used. The more restrictive requirements of the program rules or this label must be followed. 
Grazing and Feeding Nonlactating Animals 
There is no waiting period between treatment and grazing for nonlactating animals. DO NOT permit meat animals being fin­
ished for slaughter to graze treated fields within 30 days of slaughter. 
Grazing and Feeding Lactating Animals 
DO NOT graze lactating dairy animals within 7 days of treatment. 
Dry hay and Silage: Treated grasses may be harvested for dry hay or silage but DO NOT harvest within 37 days of 
treatment. 
14

Pasture and Rangeland Tank Mixes 
BAS 45218 H Herbicide may be applied in tank mixes with 
one or more of the following herbicides: 
• Ally® • Amber® • ClarityiID • Rave® 
Sorghum 
Rates and Timings 
Apply 1 pint of BAS 452 18 H per acre to sorghum in the 3-
leaf to 5-leaf stage (4" to 8" tall). For best performance, 
apply BAS 45218 H when weeds are small (less than 3" 
tall). 
Applications of BAS 45218 H to sorghum during periods of 
rapid growth may result in temporary leaning of plants or 
rolling of leaves. These effects are usually outgrown within 10 
to 14 days. Sorghum growing under conditions of stress, 
such as high moisture, low fertility, and abnormal tempera­
ture, may be more sensitive to applications of 
BAS 45218 H. 
DO NOT use surfactants or oils with postemergence appli­
cations of BAS 452 18 H on sorghum crops. 
DO NOT use BAS 45218 H if the potential for sorghum 
injury is not acceptable. 
The preharvest interval (PHI) is 30 days. 
DO NOT permit meat or dairy animals to consume treated 
crop as fodder or forage for 30 days following application. 
If sorghum is grown for pasture, hay, or silage, refer to 
Pasture and Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage) in 
Crop-specific Information for livestock grazing and feed­
ing restrictions. 
DO NOT apply BAS 45218 H to sorghum grown for seed 
production. 
Make no more than one postemergence application per 
growing season. 
Sorghum Tank Mixes 
BAS 45218 H may be applied in tank mixes with one the 
following herbicides: 
• atrazine • Buctril® • Basagran® 
• Laddok® S-12 • Paramount" • Permit" 
• Peak® 
Sugarcane 
Applications of BAS 452 18 H can be made any time after 
the weeds have emerged and are actively growing but prior 
to the close-in stage of sugarcane. When possible, direct the 
spray beneath the sugarcane canopy in order to minimize 
the likelihood of crop injury. The use of directed sprays will 
also aid in maximizing spray coverage of weed foliage. 
Application rates and timing are given below. Use the higher 
level of listed rate ranges when treating dense vegetative 
growth. DO NOT harvest cane prior to crop maturity. 
Rate 
• For control of listed annual broad leaf weeds, apply 2 pints 
of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre. 
• For suppression of listed perennial weeds, apply 1 to 5.5 
pints of BAS 45218 H per treated acre. 
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 87 days. 
Limited to one preemergence and one postemergence appli­
cation, DO NOT exceed 11 pints of BAS 452 18 H per 
treated acre during a growing season. 
15 
Sugarcane Tank Mixes 
BAS 45218 H may be applied in tank mixes with one or 
more of the following herbicides: 
• Asulox" • atrazine • Sencor" 
• Sin bar" 
Wheat (fall and spring-seeded) 
If small grains are grown for pasture or hay only, refer to 
Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage). 
DO NOT graze or harvest for livestock feed prior to crop 
maturity. 
DO NOT use BAS 452 18 H in wheat underseeded with 
legumes. 
Limited to one postemergence and one preharvest applica­
tion per crop cycle. 
Early Season Applications 
Apply 0.5 to 1 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre to wheat 
unless using one of the wheat-specific programs below. 
Early season applications to spring-seeded wheat must be 
made after tillering and before wheat reaches the 6-leaf 
stage. 
Early season applications to fall-seeded wheat must be 
made after tillering and prior to the jointing stage. 
Care should be taken in staging early developing wheat vari­
eties, such as TAM 107, Madison, or Wakefield, to be certain 
that the application occurs prior to the jointing stage. 
Specific Use Programs For Fall-seeded 
Wheat Only 
Up to 1.33 pints of BAS 45218 H per acre may be applied 
on fall-seeded wheat after the wheat begins to tiller for sup­
pression of perennial weeds, such as field bindweed. 
Applications may be made in the fall following a frost but 
before a killing freeze. Periods of extended stress such as 
cold and wet weather may enhance the possibility of crop 
injury. For fall applications only, DO NOT use if the potential 
for crop injury is not acceptable. 
Preharvest Applications 
BAS 452 18 H can be used to control weeds that may inter­
fere with harvest of wheat. Apply up to 1 .4 pints of

BAS 452 18 H Herbicide per acre as a broadcast or spot 
treatment to annual broad leaf weeds when wheat is in the 
hard dough stage and the green color is gone from the 
nodes Ooints) of the stem. Best results will be obtained if 
application can be made when weeds are actively growing 
but before weeds canopy. 
A waiting interval of 14 days is required before harvest. 
DO NOT use preharvest-treated wheat for seed unless a 
germination test is performed on the seed with an accept­
able result of 95% germination or better. 
For control of additional broad leaf weeds or grasses, 
BAS 452 18 H may be tank mixed with other herbicides 
such as Allyl!> or glyphosate (e.g., Roundupl!» that are regis­
tered for preharvest use in wheat. 
Preharvest use of BAS 45218 H is not registered for

(Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged) 
Specific Information 
Between Crop Applications 
Preplant Directions (Postharvest, Fallow, Crop Stubble, 
Set-aside) for Broadleaf Weed Control 
BAS 452 18 H can be applied either postharvest in the fall, 
spring, or summer during the fallow period or to crop stub­
ble/set-aside acres. Apply BAS 45218 H as a broadcast or 
spot treatment to emerged and actively growing weeds after 
crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost, or in the 
fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or sum­
mer. 
See Crop Rotational Restrictions in Restrictions and 
Limitations for the recommended interval between applica­
tion and planting to prevent crop injury. 
Rates and Timings 
Apply 0.5 to 5.5 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre. Refer to 
Table 1 to determine use rates for specific targeted weed 
species. Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed 
a total of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a 
growing season. A minimum of 30 days is required between 
applications. For best performance, apply BAS 452 18 H 
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 arti­
choke, occurs if BAS 45218 H is applied when the majority 
of weeds have at least 4" to 6" of regrowth or for weeds 
such as field bindweed and hedge bindweed that are in or 
beyond the full-bloom stage. 
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 BAS 45218 H. For seedling control, 
a follow-up program or other cultural practices could be 
instituted. 
Between-crop Tank Mixes 
In tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides, 
apply 0.5 to 2 pints of BAS 452 18 H 'per acre for control of 
16

annual weeds, or 2 to 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H Herbicide 
per acre for control of biennial and perennial weeds.

Conservation Reserve Programs and 
General Farmstead 
BAS 45218 H is recommended for use for Conservation 
Reserve Programs, general farmstead (noncropland only), 
weed and brush control, or use in State Recognized Noxious 
Weed areas (noncropland areas). 
Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for rate selection based on 
targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species will 
require tank mixes for adequate control. 
Rates above 4 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre are for spot 
treatments only. 
Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed a total 
of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a grow­
ing season. 
A minimum of 30 days between applications is required. 
Applications to non-cropland areas are not applicable to 
treatment of commercial timber or other plants being grown 
for sale or other commercial use, or for commercial seed 
production, or for research purposes. 
For programs lands, such as Conservation Reserve 
Program, consult program rules to determine whether grass 
or hay may be used. The more restrictive requirements of the 
program rules or this label must be followed. 
Farmstead and Fencerow Treatment 
Application Instructions 
BAS 452 18 H may be applied using water or oil and water 
emulsions in spot application to control undesirable vegeta­
tion using handgun or similar types of application equipment. 
In addition to weed species listed in Table 1 and Table 2, 
these treatments may be used to control or suppress woody 
plant species listed in Table 7. 
To prepare oil and water emulsions, mix in the order and 
proportions indicated below. 
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 effec­
tive emulsifier. 
DO NOT exceed 27.5 gallons of spray solution per treated 
acre per application. Twenty-seven and a half gallons of 
spray solution contains 0.7 pound acid equivalent of dicam­
ba and 2.0 pounds acid equivalent of 2,4-D. Spray plants to 
wet. DO NOT allow this spray mix to contact desirable 
vegetation. 
17 
To control brush, briars, and weeds along fencerows sur­
rounding pasture and ranch lands and fallow fields, use a 
tank mix of 2.5% of BAS 45218 H, 87.5% 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 to desirable species cannot be tolerated. 
1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 
with the desired quantity of clean water. Maintain constant 
agitation during complete mixing procedure. 
2. Emulsifier. Add 0.5% volume to volume. 
3. BAS 452 18 H. Add 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of total 
intended solution. 
4. Diesel Oil. Add 10 gallons per 100 gallons of total intend­
ed solution. 
Maintain constant agitation during application. Under 
good agitation, the spray solution should be milky white 
with no oil layer on top. If an oil layer forms, increase the 
amdunt of emulsifier or change to a more effective emulsi­
fier .. 
Spraying Foliar Applications 
1. Spray when leaves have reached full size but have not 
hardened due to drought or maturity. 
2. Spray individual plants to wet with handgun. 
3. 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. 
4. DO NOT apply under drip line of desirable trees or adja­
cent to desirable vegetation. 
Dormant Basal Applications 
1. Increase diesel oil content to 15% or 15 gallons of diesel 
oil per 100 gallons of total solution. 
2. Spray in late winter and early spring before plants break 
dormancy. 
3. Spray the bottom 24" of the target stem to wet on all 
sides. 
4. 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. 
5. DO NOT apply under drip line of desirable trees or adja-
cent to desirable vegetation. 
Cut-surface Treatments 
Apply BAS 452 18 H in an undiluted state as a cut-surface 
treatment to control unwanted trees and prevent sprouts of 
cut trees. 
Frill or Girdle Treatments: Make a continuous cut or a 
series of overlapping cuts using an axe to girdle tree trunk. 
Spray or paint the cut surface with BAS 452 18 H. 
Stump Treatments: Spray or paint freshly cut surface with 
BAS 45218 H. The cambium layer (the area adjacent to the 
bark) should be thoroughly wet. Treat stumps within 6 hours 
after cutting. 
Limited to one basal spray or cut surface application per 
year.
