GENERAL INFORMATION Achieve SC Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the selective control of wild oats, volunteer tame oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail, annual (Italian) ryegrass, and Persian darnel in all wheat and barley varieties. Perennial grasses such as quackgrass will not be controlled. Although susceptible grass weeds treated with Achieve SC Herbicide cease growth soon after application, complete die-back of the weeds could take up to 4 weeks. Achieve SC Herbicide does not control broad leaf weeds; however, several broad leaf weed herbicides can be tank mixed with Achieve SC Herbicide to provide broad spectrum weed control in cereals (see appropriate section of label for this information). Achieve SC Herbicide is not affected by rain falling one hour or more after application. INFORMATION ON WEED RESISTANCE Naturally occurring biotypes of certain grass species with resistance to this herbicide and related products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes through repeated use of these herbicides may result in control failures. If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper . application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional treatments with this herbicide or related products is not recommended. Consult your local Syngenta Crop Protection representative or agricultural advisor for assistance. Do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide on spring wheat in Minnesota, East of Highway 281 in North Dakota, or in South Dakota. In addition, do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide in the following counties in North Dakota: Dickey, LaMoure, Stutsman, Foster, Eddy, Ramsey, and Towner. Use of Achieve SC Herbicide in these areas may result in crop injury to spring wheat. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., will not be liable for injury to s rin wheat if Achieve SC Herbicide is used in these areas.
• -7- • GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Achieve SC Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for use in wheat and barley. Do not use in tame oat crops. Avoid drift onto tame oat and corn crops. Tillered cereal crops may incur injury if applications are made within 48 hours of freezing temperatures. Nontillering cereal crops which are exposed to temperatures of less than 40°F up to 48 hours either before or after application, may incur injury. Unacceptable crop injury could also occur when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied to crops under stress due to high temperatures, drought, excess soil moisture, foliar diseases, insect damage, or lack of fertility. When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the grasses are not actively growing. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur when application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of Achieve SC Herbicide is delayed until the stress conditions have ended and weeds are once again actively growing. Do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide to crops or weeds that have heavy dew cover. Tank mixing Achieve SC Herbicide with amine formulations of labeled herbicides or any other herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution, or adjuvant not recommended on this label or other Syngenta labeling may result in poor grass control and/or unacceptable crop injury. Crop injury may occur with registered tank mixes under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffering from stress due to inadequate or abnormally high moisture levels, extreme temperature, or from spray overlaps. Weed control can be reduced when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied to fields which received a soil residual sulfonylurea herbicide treatment the previous year. Unacceptable weed control may be obtained when Achieve SC Herbicide is applied with spray equipment containing residual spray solution or other spray residues from a previous sulfonylurea herbicide application. Ensure such sprayers are thoroughly cleaned before adding Achieve SC Herbicide to the spray tank. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Flood or sprinkler irrigation can cause subsequent germination of wild oats and other grass weeds. For optimum weed control in· irrigated crops, apply Achieve SC Herbicide after irrigation when new weed germination is complete. . ROTATIONAL CROPS The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of
• -8- • Achieve SC Herbicide. Crop Rotational Interval Cereal Grains and Leaf Crop Groups I 30 days All Other Crops 106 days APPLICATION PROCEDURES WEEDS CONTROLLED AND USE RATES The maximum seasonal application rate for tralkoxydim is 0.25 lb. a.i.lA (9.6 fl. oz'/A Achieve SC Herbicide). Weed Wild Oats Volunteer Tame Oats Green Foxtail Yellow Foxtail Annual (Italian) Ryegrass Persian Darnel Achieve SC Rate 6.9-9.2 fl. oz'/A (0.18-0.24 lb. a.i.lA) Use the high rate when soil is dry, weeds are large, weed population is high or crop canopy is dense. Note: In Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, apply Achieve SC Herbicide only at 6.9 fl. oz'/A (0.18 lb. a.i.lA). Do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide on spring wheat in Minnesota, East of Highway 281 in North Dakota, or in South Dakota. In addition, do not apply Achieve SC Herbicide in the following counties in North Dakota: Dickey, LaMoure, Stutsman, Foster, Eddy, Ramsey, and Towner. Use of Achieve SC Herbicide in these areas may result in crop injury to spring wheat. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. will not be liable for injury to spring wheat if Achieve SC Herbicide is used in these areas.
• -9- • Apply Achieve SC Herbicide to actively growing grasses for best results. Grasses emerging after application of Achieve SC Herbicide will not be controlled. Achieve SC Herbicide will not control broad leaf weeds. See Tank Mixing Recommendations section of label for information on recommended tank mixes for broad spectrum weed control. APPLICATION TIMING Weed Wild Oats Volunteer Tame Oats Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail Annual (Italian) Ryegrass Persian Darnel SPRAY ADDITIVES Weed Growth Stage 1-6 leaf (total leaves including tillers). Wild oats will be controlled up to the emergence of the third tiller. 1-6 leaf (total leaves including tillers). 1-5 leaf (total leaves including tillers). 1-4 leaf (total leaves including tillers). Best control of annual (Italian) ryegrass is obtained when application is made in the fall, prior to the dormancy period. 1-4 leaf (total leaves including tillers). Always add Supercharge® Adjuvant to the spray solution at a rate of 4 pts.l100 gals. of water (0.5% v/v). Use of incorrect Supercharge rates or alternative adjuvants may result in unacceptable weed control or crop injury. In addition, always add ammonium sulfate to the spray solution at a rate of 7-15 Ibs.l100 gals. when spray water contains more than 400 ppm bicarbonate ions. Only use granular or liquid ammonium sulfate formulations which do not contain additional wetters or surfactants. Water from deep wells is more likely to require addition of ammonium sulfate compared to surface water sources. Addition of ammonium sulfate can also provide enhanced weed control under low moisture or high temperature stress conditions as well as when tank mixing with broad leaf weed herbicides. Note: Refer to the Mixing Procedures section for the correct order of addition of spray additives. SPRAY EQUIPMENT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Achieve SC Herbicide may be applied by either ground sprayers or by aerial application. Ground: Apply in a spray volume of 10-15 gals.lA. Use the higher end of water volume range when grass foliage is dense. Apply at a pressure of 30-40 psi to ensure proper dispersion, spraying characteristics, and performance of Achieve SC Herbicide. 13 2r
• -10- • Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110° are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Screens of 80 mesh size or finer should not be used. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. Achieve SC Herbicide must be sprayed within the same day of mixing. Aerial: Apply in a spray volume of 3-5 gals'/A. When grass foliage is dense, use the higher end of water volume range. Use sufficient spray water volume to ensure complete dispersion of Achieve SC Herbicide in the spray tank when mixing and during application. When making aerial applications, care should be taken to avoid drift to crops other than wheat or barley. Avoid drift to nontarget areas. Do not spray when conditions are favorable for drift or when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. When spraying is completed and prior to using other products, ensure the spray system is thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining Achieve SC Herbicide residues. Using a pressure washer and the addition of a detergent or a nonionic surfactant to the rinse water will enhance removal of residues. SPRAY DRIFT Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift onto nontarget areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to adjacent crops and vegetation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. Use of larger droplet size will also reduce spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND GROWER. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses, or to applications using dry formulations. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan.or rotor. 14 021
• -11- • Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45°. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory. AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. ) Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size • 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 recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure 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 nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so 'that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift'without reducing swath width. 15 .21
• -12- •• Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that issafe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath wifl be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downWind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun. sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and . moves 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.
• -13- • Sensitive Areas The pesticide should 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, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. MIXING PROCEDURES MIXING INSTRUCTIONS . Follow the mixing instructions below for adding Achieve SC Herbicide to the spray tank.
