GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS 
7 "j-/s-
Achieve® 80DG herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the selective 
control of wild oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail, annual ryegrass (Italian) and Persian 
darnel in a" wheat and barley varieties. Perennial grasses such as quackgrass will not 
be controlled. Although susceptible grassy weeds treated with Achieve 80DG cease 
growth soon after application, complete die-back of the weeds could take up to 4 weeks. 
Achieve .80DG does not control broad leaf weeds; however, some broad leaf weed 
herbicides can be tank mixed with Achieve 80DG to provide broad spectrum weed 
control in cereals (see appropriate section of label for this information). 
Achieve 80DG is not affected by rain falling one hour or more after application. 
Spray Drift 
Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow 
this product to drift onto non-target 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. 
"." , 
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential 
for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering a" these factors when 
making decisions. ' : 
.. . , ' .. . . .

-7-
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. 
8" 1- IS 
The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed : the length of the 
wingspan or rotor. 
Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed 
downwards more than 45 degrees. 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in 
the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below. 
Aerial Drift Reduction AdviSOry 
(This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label 
requirements. ) 
Infonnatlon 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 covE'rarf!.

-8-
• Nozzle Orientation 
Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released para"el 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. 
Application Height 
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10ft. above the top of the 
target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications 
at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 
Swath ACljustment 
When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath will 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 pattems. Every applicator 
should be familiar with local wind pattems and how they affect spray drift. 
Temperature and Humidity . , 
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to.prcauce larger 
droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe yvhen 
conditions are both hot and dry.

-9-
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 remainfil 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. 
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 regulfltions, they should be observed. , 
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. 
General Use Precautions 
Achieve aOOG is to be used as a postemergence herbicide in wheat and barley. 00 
not use in tame oat crops. Avoid drift onto tame oat and com crops. Cereal crops 
which are exposed to temperatures below 40°F up to 48 hours before or after , , , , 
application of Achieve aOOG may incur unacceptable crop injury. Unacceptable crop 
injury could also occur when Achieve 800G is applied to crops under stress due to t;ig:-J 
temperatures, drought, foliar diseases, insect damage, or lack of fertility. 
When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding o. prvlonged 
cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the grassest>r'E.' not active'y 
growing. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur when application is rr.;:;do under

-10--
1/ r/~ 
prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of 
Achieve 800G is delayed until the stress conditions have ended and weeds are once 
again actively growing. 
00 not apply Achieiie 800G to crops or weeds that have heavy dew cover. 
Rotational crops of cereal grains and leafy crop groups may be planted 30 days after 
application of Achieve 800G. All other rotational crops may be planted 106 days 
after application of Achieve 800G. 
00 not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
Flood or sprinkler irrigation can cause subsequent germination of wild oats and other 
grassy weeds. For optimum weed control in irrigated crops, apply Achieve 800G after 
irrigation when new weed germination is complete. 
Harvesting Intervals: 
Minimum interval to harvest is 60 days after treatment with Achieve 800G. 
Immature crops (forage) may be grazed or cut for hay 30 days after treatment. 
Mature straw and grain may be fed to livestock 45. days after treatment. . 
Crops 
Achieve 800G can be used in all varieties of wheat and all 2- or 6-row varieties of 
barley (malting and general-purpose varieties including semidwarf and hulless). 
Weeds Controlled and Use Rates: 
A maximum seasonal application rate is 0.25 lb. a.i.lA. For control of wild oats, green 
foxtail, yellow foxtail, annual ryegrass (Italian) and Persian damel, apply Achieve 800G 
at 0.22-0.30 Ibs.lA (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. Apply by ground sprayers in a 
spray volume of 10 gallons water per acre. For aerial applications, a minimum of 5 gals. 
water per acre should be used. 
Always add SUPERCHARGE7 adjuvant to the spray solution at a rate of 4 pts. pel J:QQ 
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, alwa}'s' . 
add ammonium sulfate to the spray solution at a rate of 151bs. per 100 9&1~. 'when 
spray water contains more than 400 ppm bicarbonate ions. Only use granular or 1i:;L:i::! 
ammonium sulfate formulations which do not contain additional wetters or sl.hfactants .. 
Water from deep wells is more likely to require addition of ammonium sulh~e compared 
to surface water sources. Addition of ammonium sulfate can also providc:cnhanced

-11-
weed control under low moisture or high temperature stress conditions as well as when 
tank mixing with broadleaf weed herbicides. 
Apply Achieve 80DG to actively growing weeds for best results. Weeds emerging after 
application of Achieve 80DG will not be controlled. Achieve 80DG will not control 
broadleaf weeds. See APPLICATION DIRECTIONS section of label for information on 
approved tankmixes. 
Apply Achieve 80DG to wild oats at the 1-6 leaf stage of growth (total leaves including 
tillers). Wild oats will be controlled up to the emergence of the third tiller. 
For control of green foxtail and yellow foxtail, apply Achieve 80DG at 1-5 leaf stage of 
growth (total leaves including tillers). 
For control of annual ryegrass (Italian) and Persian darnel, apply Achieve 80DG at the 
1-4 leaf stage of growth (total leaves including tillers). Best control of ryegrass is 
obtained when application is made in the fall, prior to the dormancy period. 
Optimum weed control and crop yield response occurs when wild oats and Persian 
darnel are removed before they begin to tiller. 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
For broad spectrum control of both annual grasses and many broad leaf weeds, Achieve 
80DG can be tank mixed with MCPA ester, bromoxynil/MCPA esters (such as 
Bronate®), bromoxyil ester (such as Buctril®), Curtail® M, and Stinger®. In North 
Dakoka, South Dakota and Minnesota, Achieve BODG may also be tank mixed with 2,4-
D ester when ammonium sulfate is also used. When tank mixing Achieve 80DG with 
2,4-D ester or bromoxynil ester, green and yellow foxtail control may be reduced with 
adverse growing conditions. Do not exceed 8 oz. ailA of MCPA ester or 2,4-D ester as 
reduced weed control may occur. Read and strictly adhere to the use directions and 
precautions on the label of the product tank mixed with Achieve 80DG. 
Do not tank mix with amine formulations of labeled herbicides or any other herbicide, 
insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution or adjuvant not recommended on the label as 
poor grass control andlor unacceptable crop injury may result. 
Weed control can be reduced when Achieve 80DG is applied to fields which receive::! a 
soil residual sulfonylurea herbicide treatment the previous year. 
Temporary crop injury may occur with registered tankmixes under extrem'e ...... eather 
conditions or when the crop is suffering from stress due to inadequate or '3b~orm&liy 
high moisture levels or extreme temperatures. •

Herbicides not approved on this label for tank mixing with Achieve 80DG may be 
applied separately in sequence. Always apply Achieve 80DG first and allow at least 5 
days after the application of Achieve 80DG before applying other herbicides. If other 
herbicides have been applied, wait at least 15 days before Achieve 80DG application. 
Reduced grass con1rol should be expected if Achieve 80DG is not applied first. 
Unacceptable weed control may be obtained when Achieve 80DG 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 80DG to the spray tank. 
Sprayer Loading And Mixing Instructions 
Follow the mixing instructions below for adding Achieve 80DG to the spray tank. 
1. Only use sprayers in good running condition with high agitation. Ensure the sprayer 
is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to Achieve 
80DG. Use only clean water for the spray solution. 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. 
2. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water, and engage agitator. 
Agitation must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure. 
3. When the sprayer or premix tank is three-quart~rs full of water, add" ammonium 
sulfate and agitate until completely dissolved. Then add Achieve 80DG slowly. 
Remove straining screen from filler opening of spray tank before adding Achieve 
80DG. (Note: Achieve 80DG must be added directly into the sprayer through the 
tank opening and not through injector or hopper systems, for sprayers so equipped.) 
For shallow spray tanks where water depth is 24 inches or less, add Achieve 80DG 
towards agitator unit and away from outlet in the bottom of the tank to enhance 
dispersion. 
4. Wait at least one minute after the last of the Achieve 80DG has been added to the 
tank to allow for complete dispersion of the granules. A longer agitation period may 
be required to disperse Achieve 80DG when using cold water from sources such as 
deep drilled wells. 
5. If tank mixing, add the recommended product next. 
6. Lastly, add adjuvant and then continue to fill tank to desired level with water. 
Spraying Instructions 
Achieve 80DG may be applied by either ground sprayers or by aerial ap~Ii('.cltion. 
1 /S

.. 
-13-
For ground sprayers, apply in a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre. Apply 
at a pressure of 30 PSI to 40 PSI to ensure proper dispersion, spraying characteristics 
and performance of Achieve 80DG. 
Flat fan nozzles oNio o or 1100 are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use 
floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment. Nozzles may be angled 
forward 450 to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. 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, re-suspend 
the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. Achieve 80DG must be 
sprayed within the same day of mixing. 
For aerial applications, a minimum of 5 gals. water per acre should be applied. When 
grass foliage is dense, higher water volumes should be used. Use sufficient spray 
volume to ensure complete dispersion of Achieve 80DG in the spray tank when mixing 
and during applications to target grass weeds. When making aerial applications, care 
should be taken to avoid drift to crops other than wheat or barley. Avoid drift to non­
target 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 sprayer tank 
is thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining Achieve 80DG residues. 
Using a pressure washer and the addition of a detergent or a nonionic surfactant to the 
rinse water will enhance removal of residues.
