|
||
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
|
||
|
||
Mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers and other handlers must wear:
|
||
x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
|
||
x Shoes plus socks, and
|
||
x Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber > 14 mils, neoprene rubber > 14 mils,

or viton > 14 mils.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, mixers and loaders supporting aerial application to noncropland must also wear:
|
||
x A chemical-resistant apron.
|
||
|
||
See ENGINEERING CONTROLS for additional requirements.
|
||
|
||
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this
|
||
product's concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no
|
||
such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
|
||
laundry.
|
||
|
||
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed
|
||
in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
|
||
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 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, such as a spill or
|
||
equipment breakdown.
|
||
|
||
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides
|
||
[40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)].
|
||
|
||
Handlers must use closed mixing loading systems during mixing/loading liquids for aerial applications to fallow
|
||
land and high acreage field crops (barley, flax, oats, rye, wheat, grass grown for seed).
|
||
|
||
If you will handle a total of 60 gallons or more of this product per day, you must use a mechanical transfer system
|
||
for all mixing and loading operations. However, as noted above, for aerial applications and regardless of total
|
||
gallonage, handlers must always use closed mixing loading systems during mixing and loading liquids for
|
||
application to fallow land and high acreage field crops (barley, flax, oats, rye, wheat, grass grown for seed).
|
||
|
||
If this product is packaged in a 30 gallon drum, you must use a mechanical transfer system which terminates in a
|
||
drip-free hard coupling which may be used only with a spray or mix tank which has been fitted with a compatible
|
||
coupling. If you do not presently own or have access to a mechanical transfer system with this type of coupling,
|
||
contact your dealer for information on how to obtain such a system or to modify your present system. When using
|
||
a mechanical transfer system, do not remove or disconnect the pump or probe from the container until the
|
||
container has been emptied and rinsed. The pump or probe system must be used to rinse the empty container
|
||
and to transfer the rinsate directly to the mixing or spray tank.
|
||
|
||
Application from a tractor with a completely enclosed cab or aerial application is required whenever this product is
|
||
applied to 360 or more acres in a day. The closed systems and enclosed cabs must be used in a manner that
|
||
meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
|
||
170.240(d)(4-6)]. The handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. To
|
||
reduce exposure to residues, wash the spray rig, tractor, and all other equipment used to handle or apply this
|
||
product with water daily or before using the equipment for any other purpose.

||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove
|
||
PPE/clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Then
|
||
wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and fish, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic plants. Use with care when applying
|
||
to areas frequented by wildlife or adjacent to any body of water. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to
|
||
water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
|
||
apply when weather conditions favor drift from target areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
|
||
equipment washwaters or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to
|
||
treated areas.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
MCPA is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This
|
||
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
|
||
table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.
|
||
|
||
This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or
|
||
more after application.
|
||
|
||
A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface
|
||
water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of MCPA from runoff
|
||
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
|
||
expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Non-Target Organism Advisory
|
||
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms,
|
||
including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target
|
||
organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||

|
||
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
BISON is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing the equivalent of 2 lbs. per gallon of bromoxynil
|
||
and 2 pounds per gallon of MCPA acid. BISON is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of important
|
||
broadleaf weeds infesting wheat, barley, oats, rye, flax, CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) areas, and grasses
|
||
grown for seed. Optimum weed control is obtained when BISON is applied to actively growing weed seedlings.
|
||
BISON is primarily a contact herbicide; therefore, thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is essential for
|
||
optimum control.
|
||
|
||
BISON has little residual activity. Therefore, subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial
|
||
treatment. Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain
|
||
crops or short-straw varieties, for example, Yaccora Rojo wheat, may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to
|
||
shade the subsequent flushes of weeds.
|
||
|
||
Occasional transitory leaf burn may occur. The temporary leaf burn is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer.
|
||
Because the activity of BISON is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generally rapid with no lasting effect.
|
||
Frequency and amount of leaf burn may be greater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to cold
|
||
evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that caused by hail, sleet, or insect feeding. To reduce the
|
||
potential for temporary leaf burn, applications should be made to dry foliage in the recommended spray volumes
|
||
per acre when weather conditions are not extreme.
|
||
|
||
General Use Restrictions
|
||
x Do not apply with backpack or hand-held application equipment.
|
||
x Do not apply to residential, playground, school yard or golf course turf.
|
||
x Aerial applications to fallow land is restricted within 25 feet of residential areas (e.g., homes, schools,
|
||
playgrounds, shopping areas, hospitals, etc.).

MIXING, LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
See the ENGINEERING CONTROLS section for additional information.
|
||
|
||
BISON ALONE: Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Begin agitation and add the recommended
|
||
amount of BISON. Add water to the spray tank to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a
|
||
uniform spray mixture during application.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIXTURES: BISON can be applied in tank mixture with many other herbicides and insecticides
|
||
registered for use on approved crops. 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. Refer to the specific crop section for rate
|
||
directions and other restrictions.
|
||
|
||
To apply BISON in mixture with another product, fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and begin
|
||
agitation. If tank mixing with wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable or dry flowable products, add the powder
|
||
or flowable product first. After the other herbicide is thoroughly mixed with water, add the directed amount of
|
||
BISON and add water to the spray tank to the desired level. If tank mixing with other product types, add the
|
||
BISON first before adding the other product. Always mix one product in water thoroughly before adding another
|
||
product or compatibility problems may occur. Never mix two products together without first mixing in water.
|
||
|
||
Maintain sufficient agitation while mixing and during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. If spray
|
||
mixture is allowed to remain without agitation for short periods of time, be sure to agitate until uniformly mixed
|
||
before application.
|
||
|
||
If tank mixing with products other than those listed within each crop section, a compatibility test is recommended
|
||
to ensure satisfactory spray preparation. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount
|
||
(0.5 to 1 quart) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of
|
||
physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will
|
||
appear within 5 to 15 minutes after mixing. To ensure maximum crop safety
|
||
and weed control, follow all cautions and limitations on this label and the labels of products used in the tank
|
||
mixture with BISON .
|
||
|
||
SPRAYABLE LIQUID FERTILIZERS AND SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
BISON can be applied in combination with sprayable liquid fertilizer or spray additives such as surfactants or
|
||
crop oil concentrate. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the
|
||
use of a Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology certified adjuvant.
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing with liquid fertilizer, always add the fertilizer to the spray tank first and agitate thoroughly
|
||
before adding BISON. Always predetermine the compatibility with liquid fertilizer by mixing small proportional
|
||
quantities in advance. Agitation must be maintained during filling and application operations to ensure that
|
||
BISON is evenly mixed with the fertilizer. Leaf burn may occur when BISON is applied with liquid fertilizer, but
|
||
new leaves are not adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
NOTICE: Fertilizers and spray additives can increase foliage leaf burn when applied with BISON. Do not apply
|
||
fertilizers or spray additives with BISON if leaf burn is a major concern due to environmental conditions, crop or
|
||
variety sensitivity to BISON.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
BISON can be applied to registered use areas by ground, aerial and sprinkler irrigation equipment.
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Use a standard herbicide boom sprayer that provides uniform and accurate application. Sprayer should be
|
||
equipped with screens no finer than 50 mesh in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers.
|
||
|
||
Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage. Raindrop
|
||
®
|
||
nozzles and flood nozzles are not recommended as weed control with BISON may be reduced. In general, a
|
||
spray volume of 10 to 20 gallons per acre (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray coverage. A minimum of 5
|
||
|
||
6 of 17
|
||
|
||
GPA with a minimum spray pressure of 50 psi and a maximum ground speed of 10 mph may be used with
|
||
higher speed, low volume ground application if ground terrain, crop and weed density allow effective spray
|
||
distribution. When using higher speed equipment, a maximum ground speed of 10 mph is suggested if field
|
||
conditions cause excessive boom movement during application which results in poor spray coverage.
|
||
|
||
Ground applications made when dry, dusty field conditions exist may provide reduced weed control in wheel
|
||
track areas. Applications using less than 10 gallons per acre may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
|
||
When weed infestations are heavy, use of higher spray volumes and spray pressure will be helpful in obtaining
|
||
uniform weed coverage.
|
||
When the crop is large enough to interfere with the spray pattern, drop nozzles
|
||
should be used to obtain uniform weed coverage. If you are unsure of the infestation level or size of crop,
|
||
consult your local extension service.
|
||
|
||
See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of the label for mandatory spray drift mitigation measures
|
||
and spray drift advisories.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Unless otherwise specified on this label use a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre . A minimum spray
|
||
volume of 3 gallons per acre may be used if crop canopy and weed density allow adequate spray coverage.
|
||
Aerial applications using less than 5 gallons of spray volume per acre may result in reduced weed control.
|
||
|
||
Human flaggers are prohibited unless in an enclosed vehicle.
|
||
|
||
Aerial applications to fallow land is restricted within 25 feet of residential areas (e.g., homes, schools,
|
||
playgrounds, shopping areas, hospitals, etc.).
|
||
|
||
See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of the label for mandatory spray drift mitigation measures
|
||
and spray drift advisories.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many
|
||
equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the poten tial for spray drift. The applicator and the grower
|
||
are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
|
||
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless
|
||
a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE S572 and S641).
|
||
x The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the
|
||
wingspan or 90% of the rotor diameter
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
|
||
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that delivers a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
Size (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not appl y during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target
|
||
pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
|
||
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed,
|
||
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally,
|
||
to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
Boom Height – Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
Release Height - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Shielded Sprayers
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that
|
||
the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift .
|
||
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The
|
||
presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source
|
||
or a aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
vertical air mixing.
|
||
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns
|
||
and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential
|
||
areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal
|
||
(e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
BISON Herbicide can be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems to small grains (wheat, barley, oats and
|
||
rye) and grasses grown for seed or sod.
|
||
|
||
Important: Apply BISON Herbicide through fixed pipe, overhead sprink ler, or hand-moved pipe irrigation
|
||
systems only. If hand moved pipe is used for chemigation, the pipe must not be handled in any way until 24
|
||
hours after chemigation has been completed and residues have been flushed from the system. When applying
|
||
by chemigation, no person may enter the application site unless in an enclosed vehicle. Do not apply this
|
||
product through any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH AUTOMATED SPRINKLER IRRIGATION
|
||
SYSTEM
|
||
1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain
|
||
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
|
||
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
|
||
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
|
||
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent
|
||
fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
|
||
manually shut down.
|
||
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water
|
||
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
|
||
affected.
|
||
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
|
||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and
|
||
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
8. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank when applying the BISON Herbicide.
|
||
9. BISON Herbicide should be applied continuously for the duration of the water application with center
|
||
pivot and continuous lateral move systems. Application of BISON Herbicide should be made during the
|
||
last 30-45 minutes of the irrigation set with other overhead sprinkler systems.
|
||
10. For best performance, set the sprinkler system to deliver approximately 0.5 inch or less of water per
|
||
acre.
|
||
11. Remove scale, pesticide residues and other foreign matter from the supply tank and entire injector
|
||
system. Flush with clean water.
|
||
12. If BISON Herbicide is diluted in the supply tank, fill the tank with half of the water amount desired, add
|
||
the BISON and then add remaining water amount with agitation. Always dilute with at least 4 parts
|
||
water to 1 part BISON.
|
||
13. Start the sprinklers and then inject BISON Herbicide into the irrigation line. BISON should be injected
|
||
with a positive displacement pump into the main line at least 8 feet ahead of a right angle turn to insure
|
||
adequate mixing. Refer to the BISON Herbicide label for detailed information on application rates and
|
||
timings.
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION USER PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Application of more than 0.5 inch/acre of irrigation water may result in decreased product performance on
|
||
certain soils.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply when conditions favor drift, when system co nnections or fittings leak , or when nozzles do not
|
||
provide uniform distribution.
|
||
|
||
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all the lines and nozzles before turning off irrigation
|
||
water.
|
||
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
|
||
distribution of treated water.
|
||
|
||
Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
|
||
manufacturers or other experts.
|
||
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operations, or under the supervision
|
||
of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
|
||

WEED SUPPRESSION
|
||
Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense)
|
||
BISON Herbicide applied at 1 1/2 pints per acre provides burn down of
|
||
top growth. Regrowth may occur. Make applications when Canada
|
||
thistle is 8 inches tall to the bud stage.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Bison contains both a Group 4 herbicide (MCPA) and a Group 6 herbicide (Bromoxynil). Any weed
|
||
population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 4 and/or Group 6 herbicides. The resistant
|
||
biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field.
|
||
Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 and Group 6 herbicides, within a growing season
|
||
sequence or among growing seasons, with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in
|
||
a field.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information
|
||
on resistance in target weed species is available use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that
|
||
will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your
|
||
local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is
|
||
currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
|
||
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
|
||
mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
|
||
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or
|
||
varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
x Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to
|
||
determine if the intended application will be effective.
|
||
x Scout fields after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
|
||
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
|
||
o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds.
|
||
o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species.
|
||
o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative
|
||
herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent
|
||
movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when
|
||
moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of
|
||
this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of
|
||
action, if available.
