Attachment-Spray Drift Management
Under the heading Spray Drift Management the text should
read as follows:
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 and the grower are responsible for
considering all these factors when making decisions. The
following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid
off-target drift 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.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not
exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. 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
. Information.
Importance of 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 Inversion section of this label).
Controlling Droplet Size
Volume-Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical
spay volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
Pressure-Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the
nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not
improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed,
use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
3/41
(
\"
----" """""-'-"""""
t . ,
2
Number of nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide
uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation-Orienting nozzles so that the spray is
released backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger
droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from
the 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 larger
droplets than other nozzle types.
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-Applications should not be made at a height greater
than 10 feet above the top of the largest 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 Adjustment
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 must 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 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.
L.f1t./1
" • I \
3
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. ~hey begin to
form as the sun set 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 connected cloud (under low
wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
upwards 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, non­
target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the
sensitive areas).

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
• Touchdown 5 requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Application to
drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (Le., mowed or cut weeds),
may result in reduced weed control.
• Touchdown 5 does not provide residual control of weeds. Weeds emerging after
:lpplicotion will r:lquir~ rstreatment.
• Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment.
• Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed control.
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• DO NOT spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction and speed
may cause spray to drift onto adjacent nontarget areas. Drift minimization is the
responsibility of the applicator. Consult with local and State agricultural authorities
for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
• It is recommended that the spray system be thoroughly cleaned with water and a
commercial tank cleaner after each use.
• Stainless steel, plastic-lined steel, plastic or fiberglass containers are acceptable for
mixing and storing Touchdown 5. Touchdown 5 should not be mixed or stored in
galvanized steel or unlined steel containers. Touchdown 5 is not compatible with
carbon steel.
• Any crop not listed on this label may be planted back into Touchdown 5 treated
areas 35 days after application.
• Do not exceed a total of 6.4 pints of Touchdown 5 per acre per year in com.
• Do not exceed a total of 12.8 pints of Touchdown 5 per acre per year in all other
uses on this label except corn.
• Do not graze or harvest treated cover crops for feed.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Timing
Touchdown 5 should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annual weeds of
6 inches or less in height are typically the eaSiest to control. Generally, more effective
control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seed head stage. Refer to the
WEEDS CONTROLLED section, beginning on Page , for specific application
timing.
When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3-4 inches of new growth to
appear prior to application. When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed, allow
new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application.
Rates
Follow recommended rates for Touchdown 5 listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED
section, beginning on Page . Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense
or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures when weed vegetation is
dense. The following table will assist in rate conversions:

SPRAY ADDITIVES
SurfactantslWettlng Agents
A nonionic surfactant (NIS) or wetting agent (approved for use on growing crops) may
be used at levels up to 0.25% v/v (1 quart NIS or wetting agentl100 gallons) of finished
spray volumes. All nonionic surfactants or wetting agents should contain at least 75%
active ingredient.
~--~~~~---------
-11-
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)
Control of annual and perennial weeds with Touchdown 5 may be improved by adding
dry ammonium sulfate at 1 - 2% by weight or 8.5 - 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water.
Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate. Do not reduce use rates
of Touchdown 5 when using AMS.
TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
Refer to crop sect.ions for recommended tank mixes. Tank mil(es of Touchdown 5 with
other pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives except as specified on this label or
other approved Syngenta supplemental labeling may result In tank-mix incompatibility
or unsatisfactory performance. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank-mix
combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing.
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions
which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive
of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
mixing.
Tank Mixing Recommendations:
1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
3. Add ammonium sulfate (if used).
4. Add dry formulations (WP, OF, etc.) to tank.
5. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank.
6. Add Touchdown 5.
7. Add nonionic surfactant/wetting agent (if used).
8. Fill remainder of spray tank.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT & TECHNIQUES
• Avoid drift. Do not apply in low level inversion cOnditions, when winds are gusty or
under any other conditions which favor drift. Inversions are characterized by stable
air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. The applicator may
detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke
layer. Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which treatment is not
intended.
• Drift control additives may be used with Touchdown 5. Read and follow the
manufacturer's directions for use. : < : ,: <':

Broadcast Applications
Ground
Applications should be made in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre.
When foliage is dense, spray volume should be increased to ensure coverage of the
target weeds. Flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Touchdown
5. Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of target
weed. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control.due to inadequate coverage.
Air
Applications should be made in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and
flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the canopy should be avoided.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Fonnation of very small
droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away
from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding inappropriate spray boom
pressure. Solid stream or low shear nozzles may be utilized to reduce small droplet
formation. These nozzles direct the fluid parallel to the existing airflow to reduce shear
effects. Other techniques may include reducing the fan angle of flat fan nozzles if used,
or reducing the deflector plate. angle if deflector type nozzles are used. Ensure the
spray is released at an appropriate distance below the airfoil.
For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably
pattern tested for aerial application of Touchdown 5 herbicide initially and every year
thereafter. To minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment produce the
following minimum spray depOSition characteristics:
> 400 microns
> 200 microns
Spot Treatments
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.4 to 0.75% v/v solution. For annual
weeds over 6 inches, use a 0.75 to 1.5% v/v solution. Use a 1 to 2% v/v solution for
most perennials (see Table 4 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot
spray equipment (rider bar), use a 3% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below
for rates of Touchdown 5/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on
actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21
days later if regrowth occurs.
