 Application Date: July 9, 2021 
 Case Number: 476222 
 
Dear Rebecca Baumler Willis: 
 
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. 
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on 
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly 
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may 
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency. 
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be 
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not 
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be 
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them. 
 
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions 
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records. 
 
This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final 
printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In 
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the 
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you 
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently

Case Number 476222 
 
approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its 
implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3. 
 
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please 
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the 
Agency. If the website contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the 
product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A) 
and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or 
misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label, 
claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those 
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). Therefore, 
should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or 
misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the 
product will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. 
 
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these 
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance 
with FIFRA section 6.

1 Partially controlled or suppressed
2 Status ® herbicide provides suppression of annual grass weeds at 
appropriate rates (5 ozs per acre or greater) . Emerged grass weeds up 
to 3 inches tall will cease growing but may remain green for weeks after 
application . Regrowth of grass weeds is limited when corn canopies 
over row middles .
Mode of Action
Status is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is 
translocated to the growing points of sensitive weeds to 
provide postemergence control of emerged weeds and 
moderate residual control of germinating weeds . Status 
controls weeds by auxin-transport inhibition and auxin- 
agonist modes of action .
Treated weeds will stop growing soon after application . 
Broadleaf weeds will display epinastic twisting and crin -
kling symptoms before becoming necrotic . Suppressed 
grass weeds may display some epinasty and remain stunt -
ed and green .
Weed Resistance Management
While weed resistance to herbicides is infrequent, popula -
tions of resistant biotypes are known to exist . Resistance

6
management should be part of a diversified weed control 
strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi-
cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics . 
Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz-
er placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and 
timely tillage .
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to 
this product, follow these steps where practical:
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi -
cide program .
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed 
control during the growing season .
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and 
rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed 
sizes present .
• Apply full labeled rates of Status® herbicide for the 
most difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified 
time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes .
• Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residu -
al control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended 
to reduce early season weed competition and allow for 
more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide 
applications .
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of 
action more than twice a season .
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or 
shifts in weed species .
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product 
against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer, 
representative .
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a 
herbicide having a different mode of action and/or use 
non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practi -
cal, with the goal of preventing further seed production .
• For more information about weeds that are known to be 
resistant to dicamba go to www.Resistance- 
Information.BASF.US .
Additionally, follow as many of these herbicide resistance 
management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other 
modes of action as a foundation in a weed control 
program .
• Utilize sequential applications of effective herbicides with 
alternative modes of action .
• Rotate the use of this product with herbicides having a 
different mode of action .
• Avoid making more than two applications of Status and 
any other Group 4 or Group 19 herbicides within a 
 single growing season unless mixed with another site of 
action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to- 
control weeds .
• Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or 
extension agent for find out if suspected resistant weeds 
to these sites of action have been found in your region . 
DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being con-
trolled by multiple mechanisms of action . Co-formulated 
active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum 
of weed control . Some weeds may be controlled by only 
one of the active ingredients in this product .
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such 
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and 
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed 
control program .
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before 
and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant 
weeds .
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har -
vest to reduce weed seed production .
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF 
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further 
guidance on weed control practices as needed .
Crop Tolerance
Corn is very tolerant to an application of Status . Corn 
growing under stress conditions, such as drought, poor 
fertility, or foliar damage because of hail, wind, or insects, 
can show various injury symptoms that may be more 
 pronounced if Status is applied . Injury can be avoided by 
agronomic practices that promote good crop growth and 
minimize stress conditions, especially combinations of 
stress factors .
Coverage
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray . Dense leaf 
canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate 
spray coverage .
Cultivation
Avoid disturbing (e .g . tillage or cultivating) treated areas for 
at least 7 days following application to allow best herbicide 
uptake, translocation, and weed control .
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong 
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the 
manufacturer’s directions . Triple rinse the equipment 
before and after applying this product .
Application Instructions
Best product performance is obtained when Status is 
applied to actively growing weeds . Treated weeds will stop 
growing soon after application . Broadleaf weeds will dis-
play epinastic twisting and crinkling symptoms before 
becoming necrotic . Suppressed grass weeds may display 
some epinasty and remain stunted and green .
Ground Application Methods and Equipment
Status, a wettable granule formulation, can be applied 
using water as the spray carrier .
Water Volume. Select an appropriate spray volume that 
ensures adequate coverage of the target weed species . 
Use higher water volumes when treating dense or tall veg -
etation . DO NOT apply less than 3 gallons of spray volume 
per acre .

7
Application Equipment. Use application equipment that 
will provide good spray coverage of weed foliage . Exercise 
preventive measures to avoid drift onto nontarget areas .
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser 
droplet size (ASABE S572 .1) .
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind 
at the downwind edge of the field .
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles 
per hour at the application site . If the wind speed is 
greater than 10 miles per hour, 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 .
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet 
above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica-
tion height is necessary for pilot safety .
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind 
at the downwind edge of the field . DO NOT apply 
during temperature inversions .
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recom -
mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet 
above the products applied in ground or crop canopy .
• Applicators are required to use a medium 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 .
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium 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 .
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING 
OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY 
NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL 
CONDITIONS.
Importance of Droplet Size
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large 
droplets . Use the largest droplets that provide target pest 
control . While applying larger droplets will reduce spray 
drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are 
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental 
conditions .
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom 
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger 
droplets are produced will reduce spray drift . Use the 
highest practical spray volume for the application . If a 
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle 
with a higher flow rate .
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed 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 recom-
mendations 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 .
Boom-less Ground Applications
Setting the release height at the lowest effective height will 
help to reduce the potential for spray drift .
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 . Tem-
perature 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 applica-
tions during temperature inversions .
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed . AVOID 
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND 
CONDITIONS.

Spray Additives
Adjuvants must be used with Status® herbicide for con-
sistent weed control .
For best results under most conditions, combine an adju -
vant with a nitrogen source .
Rainfast Period - Status is rainfast 4 hours after appli-
cations when used with recommended adjuvants .
Adjuvant
• Crop oil concentrate (COC) 
1 to 2 pints/A
• Methylated seed oil (MSO) 
1 to 2 pints/A
• Nonionic surfactant (NIS) 
0 .25% volume/volume (v/v) or 1 quart/100 gallons
Nitrogen Source
• Ammonium sulfate (AMS) 
(21% nitrogen)
 5 pounds to 17 pounds/100 gallons spray mix
 Before adding AMS, dissolve Status in the spray tank . 
Use high-quality AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging 
nozzles .
• Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) 
(28% to 34% nitrogen)
 Use at least 5 quarts/100 gallons 
(1 .25% v/v)
Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to 
galvanized steel, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, 
rinse the entire spray system with water soon after use .
Compatibility Test for Tank Mix Components
1 . Before mixing components, always perform a compati -
bility jar test . Begin with a quart-sized jar . Add 
components in the same order as listed in Tank Mixing 
Order section . Start with 3 .5 cups of water from the 
intended source at the source temperature . For each 
dry product, add 2 teaspoons per pound of product per 
acre . For each liquid product, add 1 teaspoon per pint 
of product per acre .
2 . Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com-
ponent additions .
3 . When the components have all been added to the jar, 
let the solution stand for 15 minutes .
4 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The 
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface; 
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or thick 
(clabbered) texture . DO NOT use any spray solution that 
could clog spray nozzles .
Tank Mixing Order
1 . Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer 
tank 1/2 full of clean water .*
2 . Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained 
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank . Wait 
until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and 
the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before 
 continuing .
3 . Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, 
 wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or 
suspo-emulsions)
4 . Water-soluble products (such as Status) - Status 
must be fully dissolved before adding other 
 components .
5 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including COC and MSO) .
6 . Water-soluble additives (AMS, NIS, or UAN when 
 applicable)
7 . Remaining quantity of water
Maintain constant agitation during application . For more 
information, refer to Tank Mixing Informa tion . Refer to 
the drift-reducing additive label for proper addition rate and 
mixing order .
* User may fill the spray tank from a nurse tank containing an AMS prod -
uct dissolved in water . For this method, thoroughly dissolve the AMS 
product before adding Status . Status must be thoroughly dissolved 
before adding additional products or additives . Verify that the AMS 
premix water alternative is compatible with other tank mix components .
Tank Mixing Information
Use Status sequentially or tank mix with other herbicides 
as part of a complete weed control program . Tank mix rec-
ommendations are for use only in states where the 
sequential or tank mix product and application site are reg -
istered . Refer to Crop-specific Information for more 
details and for specific tank mix restrictions . Local agricul-
tural authorities may be a source of information when using 
other than BASF-recommended tank mixes . It is the pes-
ticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all 
products are registered for the intended use. Read 
and follow the applicable restrictions and limita -
tions 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.
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop 
injury may result from mixing Status with other pesticides 
(fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), addi -
tives, or fertilizers .

Field Corn Tank Mixes and Sequential Uses
In addition to control of many broadleaf weed species, 
Status offers herbistatic suppression of several annual 
grass weeds that may enhance overall control of your 
grass herbicide program . 
For commercial control of grass weeds, use Status as a 
sequential post em ergence treatment following a 
 preemergence grass h erbicide or in tank mix combination 
with a p ostemergence grass herbicide .
Tank Mix Recommendations
Status may be applied sequentially or in tank mixes with 
other herbicides registered for use in corn with the follow -
ing limitations:
• P ostemergence applications of Status are not recomm-
ended for use in tank mixes with plant growth regulating 
herbicides such as products containing dicamba, 2,4-D, 
or clopyralid herbicides . A dditionally, sequential treat-
ments with these products should be separated by at 
least 15 days .
Status may be used sequentially with all soil-applied 
insecticides or used sequentially or in tank mixes with 
 foliar-applied insecticides with the following limitations: 
Status is not recommended for use in foliar-applied tank 
mixes with Lorsban® insecticide . However, sequential 
treatments with these products may be used if applica -
tions are separated by at least 7 days .

Sweet Corn
 Status® herbicide may be applied postemergence to 
sweet corn hybrids grown for fresh and processing mar-
kets . Status applications may cause crop response 
(e .g . leaning) in some sweet corn hybrids . Crop response 
is typically transitory and has no effect on yield or quality . 
However, herbicide sensitivity in sweet corn varies widely, 
and all sweet corn hybrids have not been tested . Contact 
your sweet corn company representative or university spe -
cialist about hybrid recommendations before making a 
postemergence application of Status to sweet corn .
