Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

||
3(c)(7)(B), subject to the following conditions:
|
||
|
||
1. You must submit and/or cite all data required for registration/reregistration/registration review
|
||
of your product under FIFRA when the Agency requires all registrants of similar products to
|
||
submit such data.
|
||
|
||
2. You are required to comply with the data requirements described in the generic data call-in
|
||
(GDCI) order identified below:

|
||
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 approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
|
||
implementing regulation at 40 CFR 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 is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider
|
||
false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label,
|
||
claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the
|
||
registration process. 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 website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If you fail to
|
||
satisfy these data requirements, EPA will consider appropriate regulatory action including, among
|
||
other things, cancellation under FIFRA section 6(e).
|
||
|
||

|
||
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
|
||
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed . Causes moderate eye
|
||
irritation . Avoid contact with eyes or clothing . Remove and
|
||
wash contaminated clothing before reuse .
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
|
||
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
• Waterproof gloves
|
||
• Protective eyewear such as face shield, goggles, or safe-
|
||
ty glasses
|
||
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and
|
||
maintaining PPE . If no such instructions for washables
|
||
exist, use detergent and hot water . Keep and wash PPE
|
||
separately from other laundry . Discard clothing and other
|
||
absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily
|
||
contaminated with this product’s concentrate . DO NOT
|
||
reuse them .
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air -
|
||
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
|
||
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesti-
|
||
cides [40 CFR 170 .607(d-f)], the handler PPE requirements
|
||
may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS .
|
||
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a
|
||
closed system is being used, handlers must be provided
|
||
all PPE specified above for applicators and other
|
||
handlers and have such PPE immediately available for
|
||
use in an emergency, including a spill or equipment
|
||
breakdown .
|
||
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 .
|
||
• 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
|
||
For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas
|
||
where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below
|
||
the mean high water mark . DO NOT contaminate water
|
||
when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate .
|
||
Groundwater Advisory. Saflufenacil has properties and
|
||
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
groundwater . This chemical may leach into groundwater if
|
||
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow .
|
||
Surface Water Advisory. Saflufenacil may impact sur-
|
||
face water due to runoff of rainwater . This is especially true
|
||
for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwa -
|
||
ter . This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after
|
||
application . A level, well-maintained buffer strip between
|
||
areas to which this product is applied and surface water
|
||
features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce
|
||
the potential loading of this chemical from runoff water and
|
||
sediment . Runoff of this product will be reduced by
|
||
avoiding application when rainfall is forecast to occur with -
|
||
in 48 hours .
|
||

Product Information
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide provides both contact burndown
|
||
and rate-dependent residual preemergence broadleaf
|
||
weed control (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for lists,
|
||
respectively) . It can be used in select field and row crops
|
||
[alfalfa, chickpea (garbanzo beans), corn (field, seed,
|
||
silage, sweet, and popcorn), cotton, edible bean, edible
|
||
pea, field pea, forage grasses (cool-season and warm-
|
||
season), grass grown for seed, lentils, mint (peppermint
|
||
and spearmint), rice, small grains, sorghum, southern pea,
|
||
soybean, vegetable soybean (edamame)], fallow and post-
|
||
harvest croplands, pasture and rangeland, and in
|
||
noncropland areas . Sharpen does not control grass
|
||
weeds and must be used sequentially or tank mixed with a
|
||
grass herbicide for a complete weed control program .
|
||
Refer to Crop-specific Information section for recom -
|
||
mendations on herbicide tank mixtures or sequential
|
||
programs .
|
||
Make burndown applications of Sharpen when broadleaf
|
||
weeds are small and actively growing . An adjuvant is
|
||
required with Sharpen for optimum burndown activity
|
||
(refer to Additives section for details) . Burndown activity
|
||
may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or
|
||
cooler weather conditions, or when weeds are growing in
|
||
drought or other stress conditions . When targeting dense
|
||
weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use a
|
||
higher application rate within an application rate range
|
||
and/or higher spray volumes . Angling nozzles forward (to
|
||
45 degrees) may improve penetration of denser weed
|
||
canopies .
|
||
Residual preemergence applications of Sharpen must be
|
||
activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation
|
||
before weed seedling emergence . When Sharpen is not
|
||
activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation
|
||
may be needed to control weed escapes .
|
||
Sharpen may also be used for harvest aid/desiccation in
|
||
select field and row crops (barley, wheat, and triticale; chia;
|
||
field corn; dry edible beans; dry peas; oilseeds canola
|
||
(rapeseed) subgroup 20A; oilseeds cottonseed subgroup
|
||
20C; oilseeds sunflower subgroup 20B; and soybean) .
|
||
Make harvest aid/desiccation applications when crops
|
||
have reached physiological maturity or according to
|
||
Extension Service recommendations in the use area .
|
||
Sharpen is rainfast 1 hour after application . Burndown
|
||
activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within
|
||
1 hour of application .

|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide is a potent inhibitor of
|
||
protoporphyrinogen- oxidase belonging to herbicide mode
|
||
of action Group 14 (WSSA) . Sharpen is rapidly absorbed
|
||
by roots and foliage . Following inhibition of protoporphyrinogen-
|
||
oxidase, plant death is the result of membrane damage .
|
||
Under active growing conditions, susceptible emerged
|
||
weeds usually develop chlorotic and necrotic injury symp -
|
||
toms within hours and die within a few days . Susceptible
|
||
emerging weed seedlings usually die as they reach the soil
|
||
surface or shortly after emergence .
|
||
Herbicide Resistance Management
|
||
While weed resistance to Group 14 herbicides are rela -
|
||
tively infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes are
|
||
known to exist . The frequency of resistant biotypes may
|
||
increase if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the
|
||
same field or in successive years as the primary control of
|
||
the targeted species . If resistant biotypes dominate the
|
||
weed population, it may result in partial or total loss of
|
||
control by other Group 14 herbicides . Weeds resistant to
|
||
Group 14 herbicides may be effectively managed using
|
||
herbicide(s) from a different group .
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing resistant weeds, the
|
||
following herbicide resistance management principles
|
||
should be followed where practicable:
|
||
• Resistance management should be part of a diversified
|
||
weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural,
|
||
and mechanical (tillage) control tactics . Cultural control
|
||
tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement,
|
||
and optimum seeding rate/row spacing . Start with clean
|
||
fields using tillage or an effective burndown herbicide
|
||
program . These practices encourage crop growth and
|
||
improve competitiveness against weeds .
|
||
• Clean equipment before moving to a different field to
|
||
avoid spread of resistant weeds .
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and
|
||
rates will be appropriate for the weeds species and weed
|
||
sizes present .
|
||
• Always follow labeled application rate and weed growth
|
||
stage specifications .
|
||
• Use sequential programs with preemergence herbicides
|
||
that provide soil residual control of weeds to reduce early
|
||
season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop
|
||
postemergence herbicide applications .
|
||
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
|
||
control during the growing season .
|
||
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
|
||
action more than twice a season .
|
||
• Use tank mixes or premixes with other herbicides pos -
|
||
sessing different sites of action that are also effective on
|
||
the target weeds .
|
||
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
|
||
where weed control was ineffective .
|
||
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif -
|
||
ferent site of action or use a mechanical control
|
||
measure . Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro-
|
||
duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively .
|
||
• Contact your Sharpen supplier and/or your local BASF
|
||
representative to report weed escapes .
|
||
• Consult your local BASF representative, local or state
|
||
cooperative extension service, professional consultants
|
||
or crop advisors, or other qualified authority to determine
|
||
appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds .
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistance weeds may be identified
|
||
by these indicators:
|
||
- failure to control a weed species normally controlled by
|
||
the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
|
||
achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
- a spreading patch on non-controlled plants of a partic -
|
||
ular weed species; or
|
||
- surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the
|
||
same species .
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
Crops listed on this label are tolerant to Sharpen when
|
||
applied according to label directions and under normal
|
||
environmental conditions . Crop injury may occur under
|
||
stressful growing conditions (e .g . low soil fertility, seedling
|
||
disease, extreme hot or cold weather, excessive moisture,
|
||
high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought) .
|
||
Severe crop injury will result if Sharpen is applied
|
||
postemergence (over the top) to any crop (except alfalfa,
|
||
forage grasses, grass grown for seed, and rice) .
|
||
Application Instructions
|
||
Apply Sharpen only before crop emerg ence, except for
|
||
harvest aid/desiccation uses and postemergence in alfalfa,
|
||
forage grasses, grass grown for seed, and rice .
|
||
Application Rates
|
||
Application rates of Sharpen may vary depending on soil
|
||
texture and organic matter . Refer to Table 3 for soil texture
|
||

Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
Sharpen may be applied by ground or air . Thorough spray
|
||
coverage is required for optimum broadleaf weed control
|
||
and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and
|
||
spray volume selection .
|
||
Use and configure application equipment for adequate
|
||
spray volume, accurate and uniform distribution of spray
|
||
droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to
|
||
nontarget areas . Adjust equipment to maintain continuous
|
||
agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass
|
||
agitation . Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above use
|
||
rates specified in this label .
|
||
Sharpen may be applied using water or sprayable fluid
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray carrier . Additionally,
|
||
Sharpen may be impregnated on and applied with dry
|
||
bulk fertilizer .
|
||
Aerial Application Requirements -
|
||
Helicopter
|
||
Water Volume. Use 15 or more gallons of water per acre .
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen
|
||
(0 .044 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) aerially with helicopter in
|
||
California .
|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial appli -
|
||
cation with helicopter:
|
||
1 . The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
|
||
must not exceed 75 to 80% of rotor blade diameter .
|
||
2 . Use Accu-FloTM .028 nozzles or larger . DO NOT use
|
||
nozzles producing a smaller droplet size than
|
||
Accu-Flo .028 . In California, applicators must select
|
||
nozzles and pressure that deliver ultra-coarse or larger
|
||
droplets in accordance with American Society of
|
||
Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641
|
||
(ASABE S641) .
|
||
3 . Orient nozzles so spray is released parallel to the
|
||
airstream .
|
||
4 . Without compromising aircraft safety, applications
|
||
should be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the
|
||
target vegetative canopy .
|
||
5 . DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than
|
||
10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver -
|
||
sions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 50-foot buffer (90-feet in California)
|
||
between the point of direct application and the closest
|
||
downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (grass-
|
||
lands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots,
|
||
hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands) .
|
||
Aerial Application Requirements -
|
||
Fixed-wing Aircraft
|
||
Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre
|
||
for weed control application . Use a minimum of 5 gallons
|
||
of water per acre for harvest aid/desiccation application .
|
||
DO NOT apply aerially with fixed-wing aircraft in California .
|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial
|
||
application:
|
||
1 . The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
|
||
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan .
|
||
2 . Use low-drift nozzles (straight-stream nozzles, D-8 or
|
||
larger) . DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet
|
||
spray .
|
||
3 . Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
|
||
airstream and never point downward more than
|
||
45 degrees .
|
||
4 . Without compromising aircraft safety, application should
|
||
be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop
|
||
canopy or tallest plants .
|
||
5 . DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than
|
||
10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver -
|
||
sions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 160-foot buffer between the point of direct
|
||
application and the closest downwind edge of sensi-
|
||
tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas,
|
||
shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas,
|
||
shrub lands, and crop lands) .
|
||
Ground Application Requirements
|
||
Spray Carrier Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water
|
||
per treated acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer per treated acre for weed control applica -
|
||
tion . Thorough spray coverage is required for control of
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds . High populations and/or
|
||
variations in size can prevent adequate spray coverage .
|
||
Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring
|
||
(e .g . horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray
|
||
coverage . Use higher spray volumes (e .g . 15 to 20 gallons
|
||
of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray
|
||
coverage and optimize burndown activity . Use a minimum
|
||
of 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre for harvest aid/
|
||
desiccation application .
|
||

|
||
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
|
||
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground
|
||
application:
|
||
1 . Apply this product using nozzles which deliver
|
||
medium-to-coarse spray droplets as defined by
|
||
ASABE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manu-
|
||
facturer’s catalogs . Flat-fan nozzles are recommended
|
||
for burndown applications while flood-jet type nozzles
|
||
are recommended for residual soil surface application .
|
||
Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used
|
||
to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre
|
||
(GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target (i .e .
|
||
weeds or soil surface) . DO NOT use nozzles that pro-
|
||
duce fine (e .g . cone) spray droplets . In California,
|
||
nozzles must be affixed to spray no higher than 20 inch -
|
||
es above the spray target (e .g . top of weed foliage) .
|
||
2 . Apply this product only when the potential for drift to
|
||
adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e .g . when the wind
|
||
is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive
|
||
areas) . DO NOT apply during periods of temperature
|
||
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
3 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
|
||
maintaining a 75-foot buffer (120-foot in California)
|
||
between the application area and the closest down-
|
||
wind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (grasslands,
|
||
forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows,
|
||
riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands) .
|
||
Ground Application (dry bulk fertilizer)
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide may be impregnated or coated onto
|
||
dry bulk granular fertilizer carriers for residual soil surface
|
||
application . Impregnation or coating may be conducted by
|
||
in-plant bulk or on-board systems . Perform the mixing
|
||
operation in well-ventilated areas .
|
||
Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer
|
||
and herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application
|
||
because of high humidity, high urea concentration, or low
|
||
fertilizer use rate . Slowly add the drying agent to the blend
|
||
until a flowable mixture is obtained . Drying agents are not
|
||
recommended for use with on-board impregnation
|
||
systems .
|
||
Under some conditions, fertilizer impregnated with
|
||
Sharpen may clog air tubes or deflector plates on pneu-
|
||
matic application systems . Mineral oil may be added to
|
||
Sharpen before blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging .
|
||
DO NOT use drying agents when mineral oil is used . To
|
||
avoid separation of Sharpen and mineral oil mixes in cold
|
||
temperatures, keep mixture heated or agitate before
|
||
blending with fertilizer . Mineral oil may be used with
|
||
in-plant blending stations or on-board injection systems .
|
||
Generally, fertilizer application rates of at least 200 lbs to
|
||
700 lbs per acre of herbicide and fertilizer blend provide
|
||
adequate distribution or coverage of Sharpen across the
|
||
soil surface . Refer to the Crop-specific Information
|
||
section in this label for use rates of Sharpen in each crop
|
||
to be applied on per acre basis when impregnated with
|
||
fertilizer to create the dry bulk fertilizer blend for applica -
|
||
tion . Application must be made uniformly to the soil to
|
||
prevent possible crop injury and offer satisfactory weed
|
||
control . Impregnated fertilizer spread at half rate and over-
|
||
lapped for a full rate offers a more uniform distribution . A
|
||
shallow (less than 2 inches) incorporation is desirable for
|
||
improved weed control . Deeper incorporation dilutes the
|
||
herbicide layer near the soil surface and may result in
|
||
unsatisfactory weed control .
|
||
To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertiliz-
|
||
er application:
|
||
fl ozs herbicide per acre x 2000 = fl ozs herbicide
|
||
per ton of fertilizerpounds fertilizer per acre
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
|
||
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
|
||
manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the
|
||
equipment before and after applying this product .
|
||
Spray Drift Management
|
||
It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift
|
||
at the application site, especially onto nontarget areas . The
|
||
interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related
|
||
factors determines the potential for spray drift . The appli-
|
||
cator and the grower are responsible for considering all
|
||
these factors when making decisions .
|
||
The applicator should be familiar with and take into
|
||
account the information covered in the following spray drift
|
||
reduction advisory information .
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to
|
||
reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that
|
||
provide sufficient coverage and control .
|
||
Volume. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
|
||
practical spray volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows
|
||
produce larger droplets .
|
||
Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s
|
||
specified pressures . For many nozzle types, lower pres-
|
||
sure produces larger droplets . When higher flow rates are
|
||
needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing
|
||
pressure .
|
||
Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of noz-
|
||
zles that provide uniform coverage .
|
||
Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type designed for the intended
|
||
application . With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
|
||
produce larger droplets .
|
||
Swath Adjustment. When applications are made with a
|
||
crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind . There-
|
||
fore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the
|
||
applicator must compensate for this displacement by
|
||
adjusting the path of the application equipment (e .g . air-
|
||
craft, ground) upwind . Swath adjustment distance should
|
||
increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller
|
||
droplets, etc .) .
|
||
Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of
|
||
3 to 10 mph . However, many factors, including droplet size
|
||
and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
speed . If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the
|
||
applicator must determine if:
|
||
1 . Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or
|
||
2 . Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle
|
||
height .
|
||
DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature
|
||
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions .
|
||
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns . Every
|
||
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
|
||
how they affect spray drift .
|
||
Wind Erosion. Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy
|
||
soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion .
|
||
Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be set -
|
||
tled by rainfall or irrigation .
|
||
Additives
|
||
For optimum burndown or harvest aid/desiccation activity
|
||
with Sharpen® herbicide, an adjuvant system must be
|
||
used that includes the following:
|
||
Adjuvant Rate
|
||
methylated seed oil1 (MSO) 1 gal/100 gals2 (1% v/v)
|
||
PLUS PLUS
|
||
ammonium sulfate (AMS)
|
||
or
|
||
urea ammonium nitrate (UAN)
|
||
8 .5 to 17 lbs/100 gals
|
||
(1% to 2% w/v)
|
||
or
|
||
1 .25 to 2 .5 gals/100 gals
|
||
(1 .25% to 2 .5% v/v)
|
||
1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methylated seed oil .
|
||
Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than 60%
|
||
methylated seed oil .
|
||
2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (less than
|
||
12 .5 gallons per acre) aerial or ground application .
|
||
Refer to the Crop- specific Information section for spe-
|
||
cific adjuvant requirements for certain crop uses .
|
||
Use of AMS fertilizer is highly recommended when mixing
|
||
Sharpen with glyphosate-based herbicides .
|
||
DO NOT use nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for
|
||
MSO, or poor performance on broadleaf weeds or for des -
|
||
iccation will occur .
|
||
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
|
||
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Dis -
|
||
tributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant .
|
||
DO NOT add acidifying agents to the spray tank when
|
||
applying Sharpen .
|
||
Tank Mixing Information
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products in the mixtures 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 direc-
|
||
tions for use and precautionary statements of each
|
||
product in the tank mixture .
|
||
Sharpen may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with
|
||
other herbicide products registered for use in any labeled
|
||
crop found in this label for a broader spectrum of burndown
|
||
control of emerged weeds and/or residual weed control .
|
||
Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the
|
||
respective tank mix products are registered for use on the
|
||
labeled crop . Read and follow tank mix product labels for
|
||
application instructions, use restrictions and precautions,
|
||
and rotational cropping guidance .
|
||
Tank mixes with contact herbicides (e .g . carfentrazone,
|
||
paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Sharpen .
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility
|
||
jar test .
|
||
1 . 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 .
|
||
2 . Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing
|
||
Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon
|
||
for each pint of label rate per acre .
|
||
3 . Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com-
|
||
ponent additions .
|
||
4 . When the components have all been added to the jar,
|
||
let the solution stand for 15 minutes .
|
||
5 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The
|
||
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or
|
||
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick
|
||
(clabbered) texture . If the spray solution is not compati-
|
||
ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a
|
||
suitable compatibility agent . If the solution is then com-
|
||
patible, 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
|
||
Maintain agitation throughout mixing and application until
|
||
spraying is completed .
|
||
1 . Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start
|
||
agitation .
|
||
2 . Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
|
||
after each component has been added .
|
||
3 . 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 prod-
|
||
uct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing .
|
||
4 . Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fer-
|
||
tilizers AMS or UAN)
|
||
5 . Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable
|
||
powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions)
|
||
6 . Water-soluble products
|
||
7 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including MSO adjuvants)
|
||
8 . Remaining quantity of water
|
||
If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of
|
||
time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mix-
|
||
ture before spraying is resumed . Continue agitation while
|
||
spraying .
|
||
|
||

|
||
Use Restrictions
|
||
• Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to Crop- specific Information section for maximum cropping seasonal appli -
|
||
cation use rates for each crop and use pattern . A cropping season is defined as the period following harvest of the
|
||
preceding crop through the harvest of the planned or current crop .
|
||
• Except for labeled harvest aid/desiccation uses and postemergence uses in alfalfa, forage grasses, grass grown for
|
||
seed, and rice, DO NOT apply Sharpen ® herbicide after crop emergence or severe crop injury will occur .
|
||
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen through any type of irrigation system (e .g . chemigation) .
|
||
• Sharpen is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State.
|
||
Crop Rotation and Emergency Replanting Intervals
|
||
Refer to Table 5 for the proper interval between Sharpen application and planting of rotational crops or replanting after
|

vest of the cur rent crop . Depending on the sensitivity of the sown cover crop to Sharpen , stand establishment may be reduced . If cover crops
|
||
were sown less than 4 months after Sharpen application, DO NOT harvest cover crops as a food or feed crop, and DO NOT allow livestock to
|
||
graze cover crops .
|
||
Crop-specific Information
|
||
Read product information, mixing, application, weeds con -
|
||
trolled, and adjuvant instructions in preceding sections of
|
||
the label .
|
||
Depending on specific crop application directions,
|
||
Sharpen may be applied for burndown control of
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds and/or residual control of ger-
|
||
minating broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for
|
||
list of weeds controlled) before crop planting (preplant and/
|
||
or preseed) or after planting but before crop emergence
|
||
(preemergence) and for harvest aid/desiccation uses (refer
|
||
to Table 10 for list of crops) .
|
||
For all crop-specific uses in this section, refer to Table 5
|
||
for crop rotation intervals .
|
||
Thorough spray coverage is required for control of
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds . High populations and/or
|
||
variations in size can prevent adequate spray coverage .
|
||
Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring
|
||
(e .g . horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray
|
||
coverage . Use higher spray volumes (e .g . 15 to 20 gallons
|
||
of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov-
|
||
erage and optimize burndown activity .
|
||
Alfalfa
|
||
Sharpen may be applied in the dormant season or in sea -
|
||
son between alfalfa cuttings for postemergence broadleaf
|
||
weed control (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled)
|
||
in alfalfa production .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen to alfalfa, verify varietal dorman -
|
||
cy rating with your local seed company (supplier) to help
|
||
avoid potential injury to sensitive varieties .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Sharpen may only be applied to established stands of
|
||
alfalfa (defined as planted in the fall or spring which have
|
||
gone through a first cutting/mowing) grown for forage and/
|
||
or hay production .
|
||
Sharpen may cause transitory injury to alfalfa (leaf
|
||
necrosis) under certain conditions, but new growth is nor -
|
||
mal and yield is typically not reduced . Disease, extremely
|
||
cold weather, drought, extensive frost heaving, low or high
|
||
pH, salinity, and other environmental pressures may weak-
|
||
en alfalfa stands and make the crop more susceptible to
|
||
herbicidal injury .
|
||
Dormant-season Application for Burndown
|
||
Weed Control
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn -
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the dormant
|
||
season [i .e . when alfalfa is not actively growing in fall (post-
|
||
harvest), or during winter dormancy] . An adjuvant system
|
||
is required for optimum broadleaf burndown activity (refer
|
||
to Additives section for details) .
|
||
For optimum postemergence control of emerged broadleaf
|
||
weeds, apply Sharpen in a minimum of 10 gallons of
|
||
water per acre .
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made within
|
||
the dormant season if the maximum cumulative amount
|
||
does not exceed 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen . Separate
|
||
sequential dormant season burndown applications by at
|
||
least 14 days .
|
||
Timing of Sharpen applications in the dormant season
|
||
depends on the geographical region where alfalfa is
|
||
grown . Refer to the following United States map to identify
|
||
the correct region and states within the region .
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
In Region A, apply Sharpen ® herbicide at least 90 days
|
||
before harvest or yield reductions of the first cutting may
|
||
occur .
|
||
In Region B, apply Sharpen at least 75 days before har-
|
||
vest or yield reductions of the first cutting may occur .
|
||
Within Region A, only apply Sharpen in Colorado, Idaho,
|
||
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota,
|
||
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and
|
||
in the California counties of Del Norte, Lassen, Plumas,

Application Timing
|
||
Early Preplant Surface Application
|
||
(15 to 30 days before planting)
|
||
Use application rates in Table 6 when making early pre -
|
||
plant surface applications, using the highest application
|
||
rate for a given soil texture . Early preplant surface applica-
|
||
tions are not recommended on coarse soils, in areas
|
||
where average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typi-
|
||
cally exceeds 40 inches, or for popcorn or processing
|
||
sweet corn . Cultivation or a labeled postemergence herbi-
|
||
cide application may still be required under certain
|
||
conditions for complete weed control .
|
||
Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part
|
||
of a split application program where applications are made
|
||
as part of the application timings described in this label .
|
||
However, the cumulative total of sequential application
|
||
rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a
|
||
given soil texture .
|
||
Preplant Surface and
|
||
Preplant Incorporated Applications
|
||
(up to 14 days before planting)
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide can be applied at use rates speci-
|
||
fied in Table 6 , Table 7 , Table 8 , or Table 9 to the soil
|
||
surface or incorporated up to 14 days before planting on
|
||
all soil types . For preplant incorporated application, apply
|
||
Sharpen and incorporate into the upper soil surface (1 to
|
||
2 inches) . Use a harrow, rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or
|
||
other implement capable of uniform shallow incorporation .
|
||
Avoid deeper incorporation or reduced weed control may
|
||
result .
|
||
Preemergence Surface Application
|
||
Apply Sharpen at use rates specified in Table 6 , Table 7 ,
|
||
Table 8 , or Table 9 as a broadcast spray to the soil sur -
|
||
face after planting and before crop emergence . Sharpen
|
||
must be applied before crop emergence or injury will
|
||
occur .
|
||
Burndown plus Residual Weed Control
|
||
In addition to residual broadleaf weed control at any of the
|
||
application timings previously described, Sharpen also
|
||
provides burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in
|
||
Table 1 . An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section
|
||
for details) is required for optimum burndown activity .
|
||
Burndown control of emerged grasses and/or additional
|
||
broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix
|
||
with another herbicide (like glyphosate) .
|
||
Burndown Weed Control Only
|
||
If limited or no residual broadleaf weed control is desired,
|
||
Sharpen can be applied at 1 .0 fl oz/A (all soil types) with
|
||
an adjuvant system any time before corn emergence for
|
||
burndown of broadleaf weeds listed in Table 1 . A burn-
|
||
down application of Sharpen can be followed by residual
|
||
rates of Sharpen (Table 6 , Table 7, Table 8 , or Table 9)
|
||
or Verdict® herbicide . Separate sequential applications
|
||
by at least 14 days . However, DO NOT apply more than
|
||
the cropping seasonal maximum cumulative amount per
|
||
acre of saflufenacil from all product sources per cropping
|
||
season .
|
||
Crop-specific Use in Seed Corn. Apply Sharpen pre-
|
||
plant surface or preemergence at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A with
|
||
an adjuvant system for burndown broadleaf weed control
|
||
in seed corn before crop emergence . DO NOT apply more
|
||
than 1 .0 fl oz/A on coarse soils . Sequential applications of
|
||
Sharpen may be made with a minimum of 30 days
|
||
between applications . DO NOT apply more than a
|
||
maximum cumulative amount of 4 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen
|
||
per cropping season in seed corn .
|
||
State-specific Use in California. Apply Sharpen early
|
||
preplant through preemergence at 2 .0 fl ozs/A with an
|
||
adjuvant system for burndown broadleaf weed control
|
||
before crop emergence . Separate sequential applications
|
||
of Sharpen by at least 14 days . DO NOT apply more than
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A in a single application .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen after corn emergence or
|
||
severe crop injury will occur .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen at more than 1 .0 fl oz/A where
|
||
an at-planting application of an organophosphate (OP) or
|
||
carbamate insecticide(s) is planned and/or has occurred
|
||
because severe injury may result .
|
||
EXCEPTION: Sharpen may be applied when
|
||
Aztec® 2.1% granular insecticide , Aztec® 4.67 G
|
||
granular insecticide , or SmartChoice ® 5G granular
|
||
insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or
|
||
in-furrow . Sharpen may be applied with all other classes
|
||
of at-planting insecticides including neonicotinoid and
|
||
pyrethroids .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil per cropping sea-
|
||
son in corn from all product sources .
|
||
• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre -
|
||
plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
|
||
application of Sharpen and the harvest of field corn
|
||
grain, popcorn, seed corn and sweet corn ears . Corn
|
||
forage, stover, and sweet corn cannery waste may be
|
||
fed to livestock after harvest .
|
||
• Corn forage and silage must not be harvested, fed, or
|
||
grazed sooner than 80 days after application .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Sharpen use may result in delayed corn emergence and
|
||
stunting under certain environmental conditions including
|
||
cool temperatures, excessive rainfall/irrigation, and/or
|
||
persistent wet soil conditions occurring after application .
|
||
• Ensure the corn seed row is closed . Soil conditions that
|
||
cause poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result
|
||
in delayed corn emergence or stunting .
|
||
|
||
17
|
||
• Sharpen® herbicide applied to processing sweet corn
|
||
planted at depth of 1/2 inch or less may result in crop
|
||
injury .
|
||
Cotton
|
||
Use Sharpen as an early preplant burndown treatment
|
||
before planting cotton .
|
||
Not for use in cotton in California .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Apply Sharpen as a broadcast spray at 1 .0 fl oz/A plus
|
||
recommended adjuvants (refer to Additives section for
|
||
details) for control of actively growing broadleaf weeds
|
||
(refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled) . Wait to plant
|
||
cotton until at least 21 to 42 days and an accumulation of
|
||
1 inch of rainfall and/or irrigation occurring after application
|
||
to avoid crop injury . In areas with average annual rainfall
|
||
less than 25 inches, the 42-day preplant interval is required
|
||
after accumulation of 1 inch of rainfall and/or irrigation .
|
||
DO NOT apply to coarse soils classified as sand with less
|
||
than 1 .5% organic matter or cotton injury may occur .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .044 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen with other Group 14 herbi -
|
||
cides (including flumioxazin) as a tank mix or sequential
|
||
application within 30 days of planting because crop inju -
|
||
ry may result .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Use the most restrictive preplant interval with tank mixes
|
||
of other cotton burndown herbicides .
|
||
• Cotton gin byproducts may be fed to livestock .
|
||
Fallow and Postharvest
|
||
Sharpen may be used as a burndown treatment to con-
|
||
trol broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the
|
||
fallow period following crop harvest and before the follow -
|
||
ing crop is planted . Sharpen may also be applied for
|
||
specific postharvest uses to burn down the remaining foli -
|
||
age after crop harvest .
|
||
Application Rate and Timing
|
||
Apply Sharpen as a broadcast burndown spray at 1 .0 to
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A plus recommended adjuvants (refer to
|
||
Additives section for details) . For best product perfor-
|
||
mance, apply when broadleaf weeds are small and actively
|
||
growing (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled) . Thor-
|
||
ough coverage of existing weeds is essential and higher
|
||
spray volumes may be needed for best performance .
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made with a
|
||
minimum of 14 days between applications; but DO NOT
|
||
apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of
|
||
6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) per
|
||
cropping season .
|
||
For residual broadleaf weed control, Sharpen may be
|
||
applied at 2 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A .
|
||
Specific rotational crop planting intervals must be
|
||
observed between application of Sharpen and planting of
|
||
the following crop (see Table 5 for rotational crop planting
|
||
intervals) .
|
||
State-specific Use in California. Apply Sharpen as a
|
||
broadcast burndown spray at 2 .0 fl ozs/A with the recom-
|
||
mended adjuvants . DO NOT apply more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A
|
||
in a single application .
|
||
Postharvest use on tomato vines. Apply Sharpen as a
|
||
broadcast burndown spray at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A plus rec-
|
||
ommended adjuvants (refer to Additives section for
|
||
details) . Thorough spray coverage of existing tomato vines
|
||
is essential and higher spray volumes may be needed for
|
||
best performance . DO NOT apply before or during tomato
|
||
fruit harvest . Not for use on tomato vines in California .
|
||
Forage Grasses Grown for Forage, Silage,
|
||
and Hay Production
|
||
Sharpen may be applied for broadleaf weed control (refer
|
||
to Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled) in
|
||
perennial cool-season and warm-season forage grasses
|
||
grown in fields for forage (green chop), silage, or hay
|
||
production .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen to forage grasses, verify the
|
||
selectivity of Sharpen on your variety with your local seed
|
||
company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury to sensi-
|
||
tive varieties .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Apply Sharpen only to established (defined as planted in
|
||
fall or spring which has gone through a first
|
||
cutting/mowing) stands of perennial cool-season and
|
||
warm-season forage grasses .
|
||
Sharpen may cause transitory injury to forage grasses
|
||
(leaf necrosis) under certain conditions, but new growth is
|
||
normal and vigor is not reduced . Disease, extremely cold
|
||
weather, drought, extensive frost heaving, low or high pH,
|
||
salinity, and other environmental pressures may weaken
|
||
grass stands and make the crop more susceptible to her-
|
||
bicidal injury .
|
||
Dormant-season Application for Burndown
|
||
and Residual Weed Control in Warm-season
|
||
and Cool-season Grasses
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn-
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the dormant
|
||
season [i .e . when grasses are not actively growing in fall
|
||
(postharvest), during winter dormancy, or in early spring
|
||
before greenup] . An adjuvant system is required for opti-
|
||
mum broadleaf burndown activity .
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
For additional residual broadleaf weed control, Sharpen ®
|
||
herbicide can be applied anytime in the dormant season
|
||
(as previously described) at 3 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A (except in
|
||
California) .
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made within
|
||
the dormant season if the maximum cumulative amount
|
||
does not exceed 4 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen . Apply dormant-
|
||
season burndown applications sequentially when the first
|
||
burndown application is in fall (postharvest) or during win -
|
||
ter dormancy, and the second application is in early spring
|
||
before greenup . Separate sequential dormant- season
|
||
burndown applications by at least 14 days .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Dormant-
|
||
season Application in Warm-season and
|
||
Cool-season Grasses. For optimum postemergence
|
||
control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the following adju-
|
||
vants are required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% volume/volume (v/v) plus AMS at 8 .5 to
|
||
17 .0 lbs/100 gallons

|
||
Weed Control in Cool-season Grasses
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast
|
||
postemergence spray to control emerged broadleaf weeds
|
||
in season (i .e . actively growing cool-season forage grass-
|
||
es) . Make in-season applications before weeds reach the
|
||
maximum size listed in Table 1 . Postemergence applica-
|
||
tion requires the addition of an adjuvant system .

|
||
DO NOT apply more than 1 .0 fl oz/A of Sharpen in forage
|
||
Bermudagrass applied in-season postemergence (i .e . after
|
||
greenup) because higher rates may cause unacceptable
|
||
grass injury .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Postemergence
|
||
Application in Warm-season Grasses. For optimum
|
||
postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the
|
||
following adjuvant is required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% v/v
|
||
• DO NOT add nitrogen-containing fertilizers when apply -
|
||

|
||
when application(s) is in the dormant season and subse -
|
||
quent application(s) is postemergence in season after
|
||
greenup . DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumula -
|
||
tive amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen per cropping
|
||
season .
|
||
In-season postemergence application of Sharpen may
|
||
also be applied sequentially; separate sequential applica -
|
||
tions by at least 14 days . The maximum cumulative
|
||
amount for in-season postemergence application must not
|
||
exceed 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to mixed stands of grass and
|
||
forage legumes (except dormant-season alfalfa, see
|
||
Alfalfa use section) or to grass stands containing other
|
||
desirable broadleaf species . Sharpen application will kill
|
||
or cause severe injury to forage legumes and most
|
||
broadleaf species .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to stands of annual forage
|
||
(e .g . forage sorghum, Sudangrass) .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• For a mixed stand of cool-season and warm-season
|
||
grasses, follow use directions for warm-season grasses
|
||
when applying Sharpen in-season postemergence .
|
||
|
||
19
|
||
• There is no preharvest or pre-grazing interval for
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide-treated grass forage, hay, or
|
||
pasture .
|
||
Grass Establishment
|
||
Sharpen may be applied for preemergence broadleaf
|
||
weed control (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for list of
|
||
weeds controlled) in fields when establishing stands of
|
||
cool-season grasses grown for forage (in pastures or
|
||
rangeland for livestock grazing); for forage (green chop),
|
||
silage, or hay production; or grown for seed production .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen preemergence to cool-season
|
||
grasses, BASF recommends consulting with your local
|
||
seed company (supplier) on the selectivity of Sharpen on
|
||
your species and/or variety to help avoid potential injury to
|
||
sensitive varieties .
|
||
Not for use in grass establishment in California .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Sharpen may be applied preplant, preplant incorporated,
|
||
or preemergence in the fall or spring while establishing
|
||
stands of cool-season grasses .
|
||
Sharpen may cause transitory injury to cool-season
|
||
grasses under certain conditions . Disease, extremely cold
|
||
weather, drought, extensive frost heaving, low or high pH,
|
||
salinity, and other environmental pressures may weaken
|
||
grass stands and make the crop more susceptible to her-
|
||
bicidal injury .
|
||
Burndown and Residual Weed Control
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast spray
|
||
to the soil surface before grasses emerge . If burndown of
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds is desired, an adjuvant system
|
||
(refer to Additives section for details) is required for opti-
|
||
mum broadleaf burndown activity .
|
||
For additional residual broadleaf weed control, Sharpen
|
||
can be applied at 3 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A .
|
||
Sequential Applications
|
||
Sharpen may be applied as a sequential or split program
|
||
when the initial application is made preplant or
|
||
preemergence while establishing the stand, and the sub -
|
||
sequent application(s) is postemergence in season after
|
||
establishment . However, DO NOT apply more than a max -
|
||
imum cumulative amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen per
|
||
cropping season .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen when establishing solid stands
|
||
of warm-season grasses or mixed stands of cool-season
|
||
and warm-season grasses .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen when establishing mixed
|
||
stands of cool-season grasses and forage legumes or
|
||
other desirable broadleaf species . Sharpen application
|
||
will kill or cause severe injury to emerging alfalfa, clover,
|
||
other legumes, and most broadleaf species .
|
||
• There is no preharvest or pre-grazing interval for
|
||
Sharpen-treated grass harvested as forage or hay .
|
||
Grass Grown for Seed Production
|
||
Sharpen may be applied for broadleaf weed control (refer
|
||
to Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled) in
|
||
perennial cool-season and warm-season grasses grown in
|
||
fields for seed production .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen to grasses grown for seed pro-
|
||
duction, verify the selectivity of Sharpen on your variety
|
||
with your local seed company (supplier) to help avoid
|
||
potential injury to sensitive varieties .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Sharpen may be applied to new establishment seedling
|
||
fields and to established fields (stands defined as planted
|
||
in fall, spring, or summer that have gone through a first
|
||
cutting/mowing) of perennial cool-season and
|
||
warm-season grasses grown for seed production .
|
||
Sharpen may cause transitory injury to seed grasses (leaf
|
||
necrosis) under certain conditions, but new growth is nor -
|
||
mal and vigor is not reduced . Disease, extremely cold
|
||
weather, drought, extensive frost heaving, low or high pH,
|
||
salinity, and other environmental pressures may weaken
|
||
grass stands and make the crop more susceptible to her-
|
||
bicidal injury .

|
||
Fields
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn-
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in new
|
||
establishment seedling grass fields after the first tiller of the
|
||
grass is fully established in fall or spring . If the seedling
|
||
grass field was established in fall, Sharpen may also be
|
||
applied sequentially in spring before greenup as a burn -
|
||
down spray . A maximum of two applications may be
|
||
applied . Applications must be separated by at least

|
||
mergence application requires the addition of an adjuvant
|
||
system (see the following adjuvant section) .
|
||
Sequential Applications in Grass Seed Fields
|
||
Sharpen may be applied as a sequential or split program
|
||
when the initial application(s) is during the period after a
|
||
fully established first tiller in fall until spring greenup, and
|
||
the subsequent application(s) is postemergence in season .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Burndown and
|
||
Postemergence Applications. For optimum
|
||
postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the
|
||
following adjuvant is required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% volume/volume (v/v)
|
||
• DO NOT add nitrogen-containing fertilizers when apply -
|
||
ing Sharpen to seedling or established stands of
|
||
cool-season grasses other than Kentucky Bluegrass .
|
||
AMS may be added at 8 .5 to 17 lbs/100 gallons to appli-
|
||
cations on Kentucky Bluegrass .

|
||
Fields
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn -
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in new
|
||
establishment seedling grass fields after the first rhizome
|
||
or stolon of the grass is fully established . Sequential appli-
|
||
cations of Sharpen may be made until 1 week before boot
|
||
stage . A maximum of two applications may be applied .
|
||
Applications must be separated by at least 14 days;
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen during
|
||
this period .

|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Burndown and
|
||
Postemergence Application. For optimum
|
||
postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the
|
||
following adjuvant is required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% v/v
|
||
• DO NOT add nitrogen-containing fertilizers when apply -
|
||
ing Sharpen to seedling or established stands of
|
||
warm-season grasses .
|
||
Cool-season and Warm-season Grasses
|
||
Dormant-season Application in Established
|
||
Grass Seed Stands for Burndown and
|
||
Residual Weed Control
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn -
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the dormant
|
||
season [i .e . when grasses are not actively growing in fall
|
||
(postharvest), during winter dormancy, or in early spring
|
||
before greenup] . An adjuvant system is required for
|
||
optimum broadleaf burndown activity (see the following
|
||
adjuvant section) .
|
||
For additional residual broadleaf weed control in estab -
|
||
lished stands, apply Sharpen anytime in the dormant
|
||
season (as previously described) at 3 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A
|
||
(except in California) .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Dormant-
|
||
season Applications in Cool-season and
|
||
Warm-season Grasses. For optimum postemergence
|
||
control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the following adju-
|
||
vants are required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% v/v plus AMS at 8 .5 to 17 .0 lbs/100 gallons
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season on established grass
|
||
seed stands and 4 .0 fl ozs/A (0 .089 lb ai/A of saflufenacil)
|
||
on seedling grass seed stands .
|
||
• Preharvest Interval (PHI) for grass seed: 50 days .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to bahiagrass, buffalograss, or
|
||
switchgrass .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Sharpen-treated grass forage or hay may be grazed by
|
||
or fed to livestock; there is no preharvest or pregrazing
|
||
interval .
|
||
• Grass straw remaining after seed harvest may be used
|
||
as livestock bedding and/or grazed by or fed to livestock .
|
||
• Grass seed screenings remaining after seed harvest and
|
||
processing may be fed to livestock .
|
||
Harvest Aid/Desiccation
|
||
Sharpen may be used for harvest aid/desiccation in the
|
||
crops listed in Table 10 . Uniformly apply Sharpen as a
|
||
broadcast spray by air or ground . Ground application is
|
||
recommended at a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons/A .
|
||
Aerial application is recommended at a minimum spray
|
||
volume of 5 gallons/A . Thorough spray coverage and an
|
||
MSO plus ammonium-based adjuvant system (refer to the
|
||
Additives section) are required for optimum desiccation
|
||
activity .
|
||
Sharpen may be applied in a single application or
|
||
sequential applications .
|
||
|
||

Tank Mixes
|
||
Cotton
|
||
Sharpen® herbicide may be tank mixed with other cot-
|
||
ton defoliant products including, but not limited to:
|
||
ethephon, ethephon plus AMADS, ethephon plus cyclani -
|
||
lide, sodium chlorate, thidiazuron, thidiazuron plus diuron,
|
||
tribufos, glyphosate, or paraquat . Refer to the other prod-
|
||
uct’s label for restrictions on tank mixing, precautions, and
|
||
rotational restrictions . The most restrictive labeling applies
|
||
to tank mixes .
|
||
All Other Crops
|
||
Apply Sharpen with a labeled rate of glyphosate for addi-
|
||
tional preharvest weed control . Sharpen also may be tank
|
||
mixed with other registered harvest aid/desiccation prod -
|
||
ucts . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and
|
||
limitations and directions for use on the glyphosate and
|
||
other tank mix product labels, and to confirm they are
|
||
labeled for the specific crop to be desiccated . The most
|
||
restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes .
|
||
DO NOT apply tank mix of Sharpen and glyphosate for
|
||
harvest aid/desiccation on crops grown for seed
|
||
production .
|
||
Leafy Spurge Control
|
||
Sharpen applied in tank mix with Plateau ® herbicide
|
||
controls leafy spurge when applied late spring/early sum -
|
||
mer in forage grasses, pasture and rangeland, and other
|
||
areas described in the Noncropland Areas section of
|
||
this label . This tank mix also controls additional weeds list-
|
||
ed on the respective Sharpen and Plateau labels .
|
||
Sharpen and Plateau tank mix may be applied by ground
|
||
or air as a uniform broadcast application or spot treatment .
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A plus Plateau at 4 .0 to
|
||
6 .0 fl ozs/A to leafy spurge when it reaches the yellow
|
||
bract (pre-bloom) stage in late spring/early summer .
|
||
DO NOT apply this tank mix as a fall application because
|
||
control may not be satisfactory .
|
||
Spray Additives. Sharpen plus Plateau tank mix
|
||
requires the use of an effective adjuvant system . For best
|
||
results, use NIS at 0 .25% v/v plus AMS at 8 .5 to
|
||
17 .0 lbs/100 gallons [1% to 2% weight/volume (w/v)] . Crop
|
||
oil concentrate (COC) or MSO may also be used with this
|
||
tank mixture when injury (stunting, necrosis) to grasses is
|
||
acceptable .
|
||
Water Volume. Use 5 or more and 10 or more gallons of
|
||
water per acre for aerial and ground application, respec -
|
||
tively . Thorough coverage of weeds is essential, and higher
|
||
spray volumes may be necessary for better performance
|
||
on a heavy population of leafy spurge .
|
||
Leafy spurge not controlled in California .
|
||
Legume Vegetables
|
||
[chickpea, edible bean, edible pea,
|
||
field pea (dry), lentil, southern pea,
|
||
and vegetable soybean (edamame)]
|
||
Sharpen may be applied preplant surface, preplant incor -
|
||
porated, and/or preemergence in legume crops specified
|
||
in this section for broadleaf weed control (refer to Table 1
|
||
and Table 2 for lists of weeds controlled) .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
See the specific application rate and timing recommenda -
|
||
tions as they vary by legume crop . With burndown
|
||
application, an adjuvant system (refer to Additives section
|
||
for details) is required for optimum burndown activity .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen to any of the specified legume
|
||
crops, verify the selectivity of Sharpen on your variety with
|
||
your seed company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury
|
||
to sensitive varieties .
|
||
Use of Sharpen may result in delayed crop emergence
|
||
and stunting under certain environmental conditions
|
||
including cool temperatures, excessive rainfall/irrigation,
|
||
and/or persistent wet soil conditions occurring after
|
||
application .
|
||
Chickpea (garbanzo bean)
|
||
Sharpen is for use in all types of chickpeas .
|
||
Burndown. Apply Sharpen early preplant through
|
||
preemergence at 1 .0 fl oz/A for burndown broadleaf weed
|
||
control before crop emergence . Sequential applications of
|
||
Sharpen may be made with a minimum of 14 days
|
||
between applications .
|
||
Burndown plus Residual. Apply Sharpen early preplant
|
||
through preemergence at 2 .0 fl ozs/A for burndown plus
|
||
residual broadleaf weed control before crop emergence .
|
||
Ensure the seed row is closed . Soil conditions that cause
|
||
poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result in
|
||
delayed crop emergence or stunting . Sequential
|
||
applications of Sharpen may be made with a minimum of
|
||
30 days between applications .
|
||
State-specific Use in Idaho, Oregon, and
|
||
Washington. The most effective weed control is achieved
|
||
with a sequential program of Sharpen . Initially apply
|
||
Sharpen early preplant at 1 .0 fl oz/A for burndown broad-
|
||
leaf weed control . Make a sequential Sharpen application
|
||
at least 14 days later preplant through preemergence at
|
||
1 .0 to 3 .0 fl ozs/A for burndown plus residual broadleaf
|
||
weed control before crop emergence . Ensure the seed
|
||
row is closed . Soil conditions that cause poor seed furrow
|
||
closure and coverage may result in delayed crop emer-
|
||
gence and or stunting .
|
||
DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount
|
||
of 4 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .089 lb ai/A saflufenacil) per

|
||
DO NOT use Sharpen for lentils grown in any other state
|
||
including California .
|
||
Use Advisory for Lentils. Lentil injury may be observed
|
||
depending on factors including rainfall, soil type, seeding
|
||
depth, and variety . Rainfall shortly after Sharpen applica-
|
||
tion can result in slight injury to the crop . Lentils will be
|
||
more susceptible to injury from Sharpen on coarse-
|
||
texture and low-organic matter soils . Injury usually appears
|
||
as leaf tissue necrosis on the outer edges of the leaves .
|
||
Lentils will grow out of injury symptoms, and yield will not
|
||
be impacted at labeled rates . Soil residual herbicides may
|
||
increase the sensitivity of lentils to Sharpen and should
|
||
not be combined as a tank mix or sequential treatment
|
||
within 30 days of planting in a lentil weed control program .
|
||
DO NOT apply Sharpen with any other soil-applied
|
||
residual herbicide as a tank mix partner or sequential
|
||
application within 30 days of planting . The addition of other
|
||
|
||
27
|
||
soil-applied herbicides can increase the sensitivity of lentils
|
||
to Sharpen® herbicide and crop injury could result .

|
||
one in field pea and chickpeas .]
|
||
[Optional text in brackets .]
|
||
• DO NOT use Sharpen on any Phaseolus bean species .
|
||
• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre -
|
||
plant or preemergence application of Sharpen and the
|
||
harvest of mature legume pods or seeds .
|
||
• Legume forage must not be fed or grazed sooner than
|
||
65 days after application .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Plant legumes at least 1/2-inch deep to reduce risk of
|
||
crop injury from Sharpen application .
|
||
Mint
|
||
For use only in Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Montana,
|
||
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.
|
||
Apply Sharpen only to dormant established stands
|
||
(defined as at least one year after planting) of mint (i .e ., all
|
||
Mentha species tops, includes stands harvested for fresh
|
||
leaves or for stems and leaves processed into oil) for
|
||
postemergence broadleaf weed control (refer to Table 1
|
||
for list of weeds controlled) . All Mentha species tops here-
|
||
after referred to as mint .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn-
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the dormant
|
||
season [i .e . when mint is not actively growing in fall (post-
|
||
harvest), or during winter dormancy] . An adjuvant system
|
||
is required for optimum broadleaf burndown activity (refer
|
||
to Additives section for details) .
|
||
For optimum postemergence control of emerged broadleaf
|
||
weeds, apply Sharpen in a minimum of 10 gallons of
|
||
water per acre .
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made within
|
||
the dormant season if the maximum cumulative amount
|
||
does not exceed 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen . Separate
|
||
sequential dormant season burndown applications by at
|
||
least 14 days .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to mint that has broken
|
||
dormancy .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to mint in the first year of
|
||
growth and establishment .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen
|
||
(0 .044 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) in a single application or as
|
||
|
||
28
|
||
a maximum cumulative amount from sequential applica -
|
||
tions in mint per cropping season .
|
||
• Maximum number of applications per year: 2
|
||
• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a dor -
|
||
mant application of Sharpen ® herbicide and the
|
||
harvest of mint .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Application to mint stands that have been weakened by
|
||
age, disease, cold weather, excessive moisture, or other
|
||
factors that reduce crop vigor may result in crop injury .
|
||
Mint growing under stress is more susceptible to herbi -
|
||
cide damage .
|
||
• Application to mint that is near dormancy break will result
|
||
in crop injury . Risk of crop injury increases the closer
|
||
application is to mint dormancy break .
|
||
• After Sharpen application, temporary crop injury may be
|
||
observed in the growing season as mint breaks dorman -
|
||
cy and begins to grow .
|
||
• The use of Sharpen may result in growth suppression of
|
||
mint if extreme conditions of high rainfall, high winds,
|
||
and/or extended periods of water-saturated soil occur
|
||
right before or soon after mint breaks dormancy .
|
||
Pasture and Rangeland
|
||
Sharpen may be applied for broadleaf weed control (refer
|
||
to Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled) in
|
||
perennial cool-season and warm-season forage grasses
|
||
grown in pastures or rangeland or Federal Conservation
|
||
Reserve Program (CRP) land for livestock grazing .
|
||
Before applying Sharpen to forage grasses, verify the
|
||
selectivity of Sharpen on your variety with your local seed
|
||
company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury to sensi-
|
||
tive varieties .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Apply Sharpen only to established (defined as planted in
|
||
fall or spring which has gone through a first
|
||
cutting/mowing) stands of perennial cool-season and
|
||
warm-season forage grasses .
|
||
Sharpen may cause transitory injury to forage grasses
|
||
(leaf necrosis) under certain conditions, but new growth is
|
||
normal and vigor is not reduced .
|
||
Disease, extremely cold weather, drought, extensive frost
|
||
heaving, low or high pH, salinity, and other environmental
|
||
pressures may weaken grass stands and make the crop
|
||
more susceptible to herbicidal injury .
|
||
Dormant-season Application for
|
||
Burndown and Residual Weed Control in
|
||
Warm-season and Cool-season Grasses
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast burn -
|
||
down spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the dormant
|
||
season [i .e . when grasses are not actively growing in fall
|
||
(postharvest), during winter dormancy, or in early spring
|
||
before greenup] . An adjuvant system is required for opti-
|
||
mum broadleaf burndown activity .
|
||
For additional residual broadleaf weed control, Sharpen
|
||
can be applied anytime in the dormant season (as previ -
|
||
ously described) at 3 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A (except in California) .
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made within
|
||
the dormant season if the maximum cumulative amount
|
||
does not exceed 4 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen . Apply dormant-
|
||
season burndown applications sequentially when the first
|
||
burndown application is made in fall (postharvest) or
|
||
during winter dormancy, and the second application is in
|
||
early spring before greenup . Separate sequential
|
||
dormant-season burndown applications by at least
|
||
14 days .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Dormant-
|
||
season Application in Warm-season and Cool-
|
||
season Grasses. For optimum postemergence control of
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds, the following adjuvants are
|
||
required for use with Sharpen:
|
||
• MSO at 1% volume/volume (v/v) plus AMS at 8 .5 to
|
||
17 .0 lbs/100 gallons
|
||
In-season Postemergence Application for
|
||
Weed Control in Cool-season Grasses
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast
|
||
postemergence spray to control emerged broadleaf weeds
|
||
in season (i .e . actively growing cool-season forage grass-
|
||
es) . Make in-season applications before weeds reach the
|
||
maximum size listed in Table 1 . Postemergence applica-
|
||
tion requires the addition of an adjuvant system .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for In-season
|
||
Postemergence Application in Cool-season Grasses
|
||
outside of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. For opti -
|
||
mum postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds,
|
||
the following adjuvant is required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% v/v
|
||
• DO NOT add nitrogen-containing fertilizers when apply-
|
||
ing Sharpen to cool-season grasses . Burndown weed
|
||
control may be reduced when nitrogen-containing fertiliz -
|
||
er is not included with Sharpen .
|
||
• Some cool-season grass species, including Timothy and
|
||
orchardgrass, may exhibit crop response like leaf burn
|
||
and leaf trapping when adding a nitrogen-containing
|
||
fertilizer with post emergence application of Sharpen .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for In-season

|
||
In-season Postemergence Application for
|
||
Weed Control in Warm-season Grasses
|
||
Apply Sharpen ® herbicide at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A as a
|
||
broadcast postemergence spray to control emerged
|
||
broadleaf weeds in season (i .e . actively growing warm-
|
||
season forage grasses) . In-season postemergence
|
||
application can be made in spring after greenup . Make
|
||
in-season applications before weeds reach the maximum
|
||
size listed in Table 1 . Postemergence application requires

||
the addition of an adjuvant system .
|
||
DO NOT apply Sharpen in-season postemergence on
|
||
Bahiagrass, buffalograss, and switchgrass .
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 1 .0 fl oz/A of Sharpen in forage
|
||
Bermudagrass applied in-season postemergence (i .e . after
|
||
greenup) because higher rates may cause unacceptable
|
||
grass injury .
|
||
Specific Adjuvant Requirements for Postemergence
|
||
Application in Warm-season Grasses. For optimum
|
||
postemergence control of emerged broadleaf weeds, the
|
||
following adjuvant is required for use with Sharpen :
|
||
• MSO at 1% v/v
|
||
• DO NOT add nitrogen-containing fertilizers when apply -
|
||
ing Sharpen to warm-season grasses .
|
||
Sequential Applications in Warm-season
|
||
and Cool-season Grasses
|
||
Sharpen may be applied as a sequential or split program
|
||
when application(s) is made in the dormant season and
|
||
subsequent application(s) is made postemergence
|
||
in season after greenup . DO NOT apply more than a max-
|
||
imum cumulative amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen per
|
||
cropping season .
|
||
In-season postemergence applications of Sharpen may
|
||
also be applied sequentially; separate sequential applica -
|
||
tions of Sharpen by at least 14 days . The maximum
|
||
cumulative amount for in-season postemergence applica -
|
||
tions must not exceed 2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to mixed stands of grass and
|
||
forage legumes (except dormant-season alfalfa, see
|
||
Alfalfa use section) or to grass stands containing other
|
||
desirable broadleaf species . Sharpen application will kill
|
||
or cause severe injury to forage legumes and most
|
||
broadleaf species .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to stands of annual forage
|
||
(e .g . forage sorghum, Sudangrass) .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• For a mixed stand of cool-season and warm-season
|
||
grasses, follow use directions for warm-season grasses
|
||
when applying Sharpen in-season postemergence .
|
||
• There is no preharvest or pre-grazing interval for
|
||
Sharpen-treated grass forage, hay, or pasture .
|
||
Rice
|
||
Sharpen may be applied preplant, preemergence, or
|
||
postemergence in rice for broadleaf weed control (refer to
|
||
Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled; refer to
|
||
Table 11 for additional rice-specific weeds controlled) .
|
||
Rice in this label refers to drilled or dry-seeded, and
|
||
water-seeded rice . Before applying Sharpen to rice, verify
|
||
the selectivity of Sharpen on your variety or hybrid with
|
||
your local seed company (supplier) and/or BASF represen -
|
||
tative to help avoid potential injury to sensitive varieties or
|
||
hybrids .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Preplant and Preemergence Burndown plus
|
||
Residual Weed Control
|
||
Apply Sharpen as a broadcast burndown spray preplant
|
||
through preemergence (0 to 3 days after rice planting) at
|
||
1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A . An adjuvant system including MSO and
|
||
AMS (refer to Additives section for details) is required for
|
||
optimum broadleaf burndown activity . For best product
|
||
performance, apply when broadleaf weeds are small and
|
||
actively growing . Thorough spray coverage of emerged
|
||
weeds is required; higher spray volumes may be needed
|
||
for best performance .
|
||
For additional residual broadleaf weed control, Sharpen
|
||
can be applied preplant through preemergence at 3 .0 to
|
||
4 .0 fl ozs/A .
|
||
Postemergence Weed Control
|
||
Apply Sharpen for postemergence control of small and
|
||
actively growing emerged broadleaf weeds at 1 .0 to
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A . Postemergence application can be made
|
||
before or after flooding when rice has reached the 3-leaf
|
||
stage up to internode elongation . DO NOT apply Sharpen
|
||
to rice in the spike to 2-leaf stage . On rice grown in Texas,
|
||
DO NOT apply Sharpen postemergence .
|
||
Tank mixes with products formulated as emulsifiable con-
|
||
centrates (EC) may enhance the crop injury potential of
|
||
Sharpen in postemergence application .

Adjuvant Requirements for Postemergence-specific
|
||
Application in Rice. For optimum postemergence con-
|
||
trol of emerged broadleaf weeds in rice, the following
|
||
adjuvants are required with Sharpen :
|
||
• Use a crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1 pint/A to
|
||
1 quart/A .
|
||
• DO NOT use MSO or severe crop injury may occur .
|
||
• DO NOT use NIS as a substitute for COC or poor per -
|
||
formance on broadleaf weeds will occur .
|
||
Rice Crop Response. Temporary leaf burn and/or
|
||
speckling may occur after postemergence application;
|
||
new growth and development is unaffected with rapid
|
||
recovery in good growing conditions . Severe leaf burn
|
||
and/or stand loss may occur in stressful growing condi -
|
||
tions (e .g . low soil fertility, seedling/foliar disease, extreme
|
||
hot or cold weather, high soil pH, high soil salt concentra-
|
||
tion, or drought) .
|
||
Sequential Applications
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made in rice,
|
||
but DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen per cropping season .
|
||
Separate sequential applications of Sharpen by at least
|
||
14 days .
|
||
Preplant or preemergence burndown applications may be
|
||
applied as part of a sequential application program when
|
||
the first application is preplant or preemergence, and the
|
||
sequential application(s) is postemergence . Postemer-
|
||
gence applications may be sequentially made before or
|
||
after flooding . For postemergence application, DO NOT
|
||
apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen per cropping season .
|
||
State-specific Use in California. Apply Sharpen as a
|
||
broadcast burndown spray at 2 .0 fl ozs/A at least 15 days
|
||
before rice planting and 45 days before a permanent flood
|
||
is established . An adjuvant system (refer to Additives sec-
|
||
tion for details) is required for optimum broadleaf
|
||
burndown activity . DO NOT apply Sharpen after paddy
|
||
flooding or postemergence to the crop . DO NOT apply
|
||
more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A in a single application . DO NOT
|
||
apply within 45 days of permanent flooding in water-
|
||
seeded rice paddies . DO NOT use released tailwater for
|
||
irrigation of adjacent crops .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply micronutrients or macronutrients as a
|
||
tank mix partner for postemergence applications or crop
|
||
injury will occur .
|
||
• Sharpen may be applied to rice fields used for crusta-
|
||
cean (including crayfish) production and commercial fish
|
||
production .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen to rice fields that will also be
|
||
used for mollusk production during the treatment year .
|
||
• DO NOT release flood water from treated fields for
|
||
7 days after Sharpen application .
|
||
Small Grains
|
||
(barley, canaryseed, oats, pearl millet,
|
||
proso millet, rye, triticale, and wheat)
|
||
Sharpen may be applied preplant surface, preplant incor-
|
||
porated, or preemergence to small grains for broadleaf
|
||
weed control (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for list of
|
||
weeds controlled) . Small grains in this label refers to wheat
|
||
(including durum, spring, and winter), barley, canaryseed,
|
||
oats, millet (pearl and proso), rye, and triticale . Before
|
||
applying Sharpen to small grains, verify the selectivity of
|
||
Sharpen on your variety with your seed company (suppli-
|
||
er) to help avoid potential injury to sensitive varieties .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Burndown. Apply Sharpen for burndown and/or residual
|
||
control of broadleaf weeds early preplant through
|
||
preemergence at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A . Sharpen at
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A provides limited residual control of broad-
|
||
leaf weeds . Performance depends on amount of rainfall for
|
||
activation, soil texture, and broadleaf species/population .
|
||
An adjuvant system (refer to the Additives section for
|
||
details) is required for optimum broadleaf burndown
|
||
activity .
|
||
Burndown plus Residual Control in Wheat. Apply
|
||
Sharpen in winter wheat and spring wheat early preplant
|
||
through preemergence at 3 .0 to 4 .0 fl ozs/A for burndown
|
||
plus residual control of broadleaf weeds . Performance
|
||
depends on amount of rainfall for activation, soil texture,
|
||
and broadleaf species/populations . An adjuvant system
|
||
(refer to the Additives section for details) is required for
|
||
optimum broadleaf burndown activity . Not for use at these
|
||
use rates in California .
|
||
Sequential Applications. Sharpen may be applied
|
||
sequentially as needed before small grain emergence .
|
||
|
||
31
|
||
Early preplant application may be applied as part of a split
|
||
application program when the first application is early pre -
|
||
plant and the second application is preemergence .
|
||
Separate sequential applications of Sharpen ® herbicide
|
||
by at least 30 days in millet and by at least 14 days in all
|
||
other small grains .
|
||
Winter Wheat Dormancy Application. For residual
|
||
broadleaf weed control, apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A to dormant winter wheat only . DO NOT apply
|
||
until dormant period or during and/or after spring greenup
|
||
(dormancy break) . Water or liquid fertilizer may be used as
|
||
the spray carrier .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A {Alternate text for CA-DPR
|
||
acceptance of container labeling: 4 .0 fl ozs/A} of
|
||
Sharpen (0 .134 {0 .089} lb ai/A of saflufenacil) per crop-
|
||
ping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply after small grain emergence or crop inju -
|
||
ry will occur .
|
||
• Small grain forage and hay must not be fed or grazed
|
||
sooner than 30 days after application .
|
||
• DO NOT apply to other types of millet (e .g . foxtail millet)
|
||
or severe crop injury may occur .
|
||
• DO NOT apply to millet grown in soils with a pH of 7 .8 or
|
||
above or crop injury may occur .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Ensure the seed row is sufficiently covered with soil to
|
||
avoid washing and concentration of the herbicide in the
|
||
seed zone .
|
||
Sorghum
|
||
(all types)
|
||
Sharpen may be applied preplant surface, preplant incor-
|
||
porated, or preemergence to sorghum (all types specified
|
||
in the following list) for broadleaf weed control (refer to
|
||
Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled) . Before
|
||
applying Sharpen to sweet sorghum, verify with your local
|
||
seed company (supplier) the selectivity of Sharpen on
|
||
your hybrid or variety to help avoid potential injury to sensi -
|
||
tive hybrids or varieties .
|
||
Sharpen is for use ONLY on the following sorghum types:
|
||
• Grain sorghum (milo, durra, kaffir-corn, Indian millet,
|
||
great millet, grand millet, kaoliang, Chinese sorghum,
|
||
shattercane, guineacorn, sorgo comun)

Application Timing
|
||
Early Preplant Surface Application
|
||
(15 to 30 days before planting)
|
||
Application rates in Table 12 and Table 13 should be used
|
||
when making early preplant surface application, using the
|
||
highest application rate for a given soil texture . Early preplant
|
||
surface application is not recommended on coarse soils or in
|
||
areas where average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation)
|
||
typically exceeds 40 inches . Cultivation or a labeled poste-
|
||
mergence herbicide application may still be required under
|
||
certain conditions for complete weed control .
|
||
Early preplant surface application may be part of a split
|
||
application program when made at the application timings
|
||
described in this label . However, the cumulative total of
|
||
sequential application rates must not exceed the maximum
|
||
labeled rate for a given soil texture .
|
||
Preplant Surface and
|
||
Preplant Incorporated Applications
|
||
(up to 14 days before planting)
|
||
Sharpen can be applied at rates specified in Table 12
|
||
and Table 13 to the soil surface or incorporated up to
|
||
14 days before planting on all soil types . For preplant
|
||
incorporated application, apply Sharpen and incorporate
|
||
into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches) . Use a harrow,
|
||
rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other implement capable
|
||
of uniform shallow incorporation . Avoid deeper incorpora-
|
||
tion or reduced weed control may result .
|
||
|
||
32
|
||
Preemergence Surface Application
|
||
Apply Sharpen ® herbicide at use rates specified in
|
||
Table 12 and Table 13 as a broadcast spray to the soil
|
||
surface after planting and before crop emergence .
|
||
Sharpen must be applied before crop emergence or inju -
|
||
ry will occur .
|
||
Burndown plus Residual Weed Control
|
||
In addition to residual broadleaf weed control at any of the
|
||
application timings previously described, Sharpen also
|
||
provides burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in
|
||
Table 1 . An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section
|
||
for details) is required for optimum burndown activity .
|
||
Burndown control of emerged grasses and/or additional
|
||
broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix
|
||
with another herbicide (like glyphosate) .
|
||
Burndown Weed Control Only
|
||
Sharpen can be applied at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A (all soil
|
||
types) with an adjuvant system (refer to the Additives sec-
|
||
tion for details) anytime before sorghum emergence for
|
||
burndown of weeds listed in Table 1 . A burndown applica-
|
||
tion of Sharpen can be followed by residual rates of
|
||
Sharpen (Table 12 and Table 13 ) or Verdict® herbicide .
|
||
Sequential applications must be separated by at least
|
||
14 days . However, DO NOT apply more than the cropping
|
||
seasonal maximum cumulative amount per acre of
|
||
saflufenacil from all product sources .
|
||
State-specific Use in California. Apply Sharpen early
|
||
preplant through preemergence at 2 .0 fl ozs/A with an
|
||
adjuvant system for burndown broadleaf weed control
|
||
before crop emergence . Separate sequential applications
|
||
by at least 14 days . DO NOT apply more than 2 .0 fl ozs/A
|
||
of Sharpen in a single application .
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen after sorghum emergence or
|
||
severe crop injury will occur .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen at more than 1 .0 fl oz/A within
|
||
30 days of planting where an at-planting application of an
|
||
organophosphate or carbamate insecticide(s) is planned
|
||
and/or has occurred or severe injury may result .
|
||
EXCEPTION: Sharpen may be applied when
|
||
Aztec® 2.1% granular insecticide , Aztec® 4.67 G
|
||
granular insecticide , or SmartChoice ® 5G granular
|
||
insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or
|
||
infurrow . Sharpen may be applied with all other classes
|
||
of at-planting insecticides including neonicotinoids and
|
||
pyrethroids .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 6 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .134 lb ai/A of
|
||
saflufenacil) per cropping season .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil per cropping sea-
|
||
son in sorghum from all product sources .

||
• Grain sorghum and sweet sorghum forage must not be
|
||
harvested, fed, or grazed sooner than 70 days after
|
||
application .
|
||
Soybean
|
||
Sharpen may be applied in fall and/or in spring as a
|
||
preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
|
||
burndown application in conventional-till, reduced-till, or
|
||
no-till soybeans for broadleaf weed control (refer to
|
||
Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled) . An adju-
|
||
vant system (refer to Additives section for details) is
|
||
required for optimum burndown activity .
|
||
Use of Sharpen may result in delayed soybean emer-
|
||

||
“Kixor® Selected” describes soybean varieties that
|
||
exhibit less sensitivity to Sharpen, but it does not
|
||
imply any genetic modification to impart tolerance
|
||
or resistance to the herbicide. Contact your local
|
||
BASF representative or go to
|
||
http://www.agproducts.basf.us/products/kixor-
|
||
selected-soybean-varieties.html for a full list of
|
||
current Kixor ® Selected soybean varieties.
|
||
Sharpen may be applied in fall and/or in spring as a
|
||
preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
|
||
burndown application in conventional-till, reduced-till, or
|
||
no-till soybeans for broadleaf weed control; refer to
|
||
Table 1 and Table 2 for list of weeds controlled . An adju-
|
||
vant system (refer to Additives for details) is required for
|
||
optimum burndown activity .
|
||
Use of Sharpen may result in delayed soybean emer-
|
||
gence and stunting under certain environmental conditions
|
||
including cool temperatures, excessive rainfall/irrigation,
|
||
and/or persistent wet soil conditions occurring after
|
||
application .
|
||
Not for use on Kixor® Selected soybean varieties in
|
||
California .
|
||
Application Method, Rate, and Timing
|
||
Fall Application
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1 .0 to 2 .0 fl ozs/A for burndown broad-
|
||
leaf weed control after the prior crop is harvested .
|
||
Application must be made before first killing frost . Fall
|
||
application can be made to all soil types .
|
||
Spring Application
|
||
Apply Sharpen early preplant through preemergence at
|
||
1 .0 fl oz/A for burndown broadleaf weed control before
|
||
crop emergence .
|
||
Apply Sharpen early preplant through preemergence at
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A for burndown plus residual broadleaf weed
|
||
control before crop emergence .
|
||
Soybean Planting Interval
|
||
Depending on Sharpen use rate, soil texture, and organic
|
||
matter, an interval between Sharpen application and
|
||
planting may be required (see Table 16) or crop injury may
|
||
occur .

Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount
|
||
of 4 .0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen (0 .089 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) per
|
||
cropping season . Sequential applications of Sharpen
|
||
MUST be separated by at least 30 days .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
|
||
amount of 0 .089 lb ai/A of saflufenacil per cropping sea-
|
||
son in soybean from all product sources .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen when soybean has reached
|
||
the cracking stage or after emergence or severe crop
|
||
injury will occur .
|
||
• DO NOT apply Sharpen within 30 days of planting
|
||
when an at-planting application of an organophosphate
|
||
or carbamate insecticide(s) is planned and/or has
|
||
occurred because severe injury may result .
|
||
• Always use the most restrictive preplant interval of all
|
||
inclusive herbicides when applying Sharpen as part of a
|
||
tank mix .
|
||
• Soybean forage must not be fed or grazed sooner than
|
||
65 days after application .
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 1 .0 fl oz/A of Sharpen with
|
||
other products containing Group 14 herbicides (includ-
|
||
ing sulfentrazone or flumioxazin) as a tank mix or as a
|
||
sequential spring application .
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
• Ensure the seed row is sufficiently covered with soil to
|
||
avoid washing and concentration of the herbicide in the
|
||
seed zone .
|
||
• Group 14 herbicides labeled for postemergence appli-
|
||
cation in soybean may be used 14 days or more after
|
||
soybean emergence . Refer to other products’ labels for
|
||

Spot Treatment
|
||
Sharpen may be applied as a spot treatment to emerged
|
||
broadleaf weeds . Consult the following chart for the
|
||
amount of Sharpen to make various gallons of spray mix
|
||
for spot treatments applied to actively growing broadleaf
|
||
weeds and sizes referenced in Table 1 . Spray thoroughly
|
||
to wet weed foliage but not to the point of runoff .
|
||
To maximize performance, refer to the Additives section
|
||
for recommended adjuvant and rate to add to the spray
|
||
mix .
|
||
Each spray mix is equivalent to applying Sharpen at
|
||
2 .0 fl ozs/A in a spray volume of 100 gallons per acre .
|
||
Applications of a spot spray mix should not be made to an
|
||
equivalent area less than what is shown in the chart or
|
||
exceed the equivalent broadcast rate of 2 .0 fl ozs/A .
|
||
Spot treatments may be applied via an ATV-mounted
|
||

|
||
Use Information
|
||
Sharpen provides contact burndown broadleaf weed
|
||
control. Refer to Sharpen container label for complete
|
||
list of weeds controlled. Sharpen does not control
|
||
|
||

|
||
mixed with a grass herbicide for a complete weed
|
||
control program.
|
||
Application Information
|
||
Application Rates and Timings
|
||
Apply Sharpen only to dormant established stands
|
||
(defined as at least one year after planting) of mint (i.e.,
|
||
all Mentha species tops, includes stands harvested for
|
||
fresh leaves or for stems and leaves processed into
|
||
oil). All Mentha species tops hereafter referred to as
|
||
mint.
|
||
Apply Sharpen at 1.0 to 2.0 fl ozs/A as a broadcast
|
||
burndown spray to emerged broadleaf weeds in the
|
||
dormant season [i.e. when mint is not actively growing
|
||
in fall (postharvest), or during winter dormancy]. An
|
||
adjuvant system is required for optimum broadleaf
|
||
burndown activity (refer to Additives section on the
|
||
product container label for details).

|
||
For optimum postemergence control of emerged
|
||
broadleaf weeds, apply Sharpen® herbicide in a
|
||
minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
|
||
Sequential applications of Sharpen may be made
|
||
within the dormant season if the maximum cumulative
|
||
amount does not exceed 2.0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen.
|
||
Separate sequential dormant season burndown
|
||
applications by at least 14 days.
|
||
Crop-specific Restrictions
|
||
DO NOT apply Sharpen to mint that has broken
|
||
dormancy.
|
||
DO NOT apply Sharpen to mint in the first year of
|
||
growth and establishment.
|
||
DO NOT apply more than 2.0 fl ozs/A of Sharpen
|
||
(0.044 lb a.i./A of saflufenacil) in a single application
|
||
or as a maximum cumulative amount from sequential
|
||
applications in mint per cropping season.
|
||
Maximum number of applications per year: 2
|
||
There is no required (preharvest) interval between a
|
||
dormant application of Sharpen and the harvest of
|
||
mint.
|
||
Refer to Table 5 on the product container label for
|
||
crop rotation intervals.
|
||
Crop-specific Precautions
|
||
Application to mint stands that have been weakened
|
||
by age, disease, cold weather, excessive moisture,
|
||
or other factors that reduce crop vigor may result in
|
||
crop injury. Mint growing under stress is more
|
||
susceptible to herbicide damage.
|
||
Application to mint that is near dormancy break will
|
||
result in crop injury. Risk of crop injury increases the
|
||
closer application is to mint dormancy break.
|
||
After Sharpen application, temporary crop injury may
|
||
be observed in the growing season as mint breaks
|
||
dormancy and begins to grow.
|
||
The use of Sharpen may result in growth
|
||
suppression of mint if extreme conditions of high
|
||
rainfall, high winds, and/or extended periods of
|
||
water-saturated soil occur right before or soon after
|
||
mint breaks dormancy.
|
||
Tank Mixtures
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and
|
||
directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions
|
||
for use and precautionary statements of each product
|
||
in the tank mixture.
