GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
• Traxion GT requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Application to
drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e. mowed, cut, or hailed­
on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases may
result in reduced weed control.
• Traxion GT does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Weeds emerging after
application will require retreatment.
• 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.
\Wl1
-7-
• 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.
• Traxion GT is not volatile and cannot move as a vapor after application onto
nontarget vegetation.
• It is recommended that the spray system be thoroughly cleaned with water and a
commercial tank cleaner after each use.
• Spray solutions of Traxion GT should be mixed, stored, and applied using only
plastic, plastic-lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate
should not be stored in galvanized steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or unlined steel
containers.
• There are no rotational crop restrictions following application of this product.
• Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of Traxion GT to any
vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non-woody roots, or fruit) of
crops, trees, and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended, except as
specified for glyphosate-tolerant crops.
• In crop areas, do not exceed a total of 5.8 qts.lA. In noncrop areas, do not exceed a
total of 7.6 qts.lA.
• Do not exceed 0.7 qt.lA by air unless otherwise specified on this label.
• For broadcast postemergence treatments, do not harvest or feed treated vegetation
for 8 weeks following application, unless otherwise specified.
• The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this
product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing glyphosate or
sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether applied as mixtures or separately.
Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other
glyphosate- or sulfosate-containing products does not exceed maximum use rate.
GL YPHOSATE RESISTANT WEED MANAGEMENT
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate may exist through
normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of herbicides with
the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a selection of
resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the likelihood that resistant weed
populations will develop and integrated strategies are known to manage such problem
weeds.
\ \()\ll
-8-
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide Traxion GT. The primary mode of
action of glyphosate involves inactivation of the target enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-
3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of several
essential amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins needed for plant growth
and development. In susceptible weeds glyphosate binds tightly to EPSPS rendering
the enzyme inactive. With the inactivation of EPSPS, the plant is unable to produce
certain essential amino acids resulting in plant death. Initial studies on the mechanistic
basis of resistance to glyphosate in various weed species have to date revealed EPSPS
target site resistance and involvement of differences in translocation as important. Other
mechanisms by which plants can become resistant to herbicides include differences in
uptake, metabolism and sequestration. Within the USA specific biotypes of
horseweed/marestail, Conyza canadensis, and rigid ryegrass, Lolium rigidum, have
become resistant to glyphosate. The first incident reported to the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee (HRAC) of glyphosate resistance was in 1998 on rigid ryegrass.
Horseweed resistance was subsequently confirmed in 2000.
Following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in glyphosate­
based programs.
Diversify glyphosate-dependent weed control programs with alternative herbicides or
cultural practices.
a. In Roundup Ready® (RRTM) corn and RR soybean systems do not use more
than two applications of a glyphosate-based herbicide over a two year period.
Diversify with alternative herbicides/cultural practices.
b. In RR cotton up to three glyphosate applications may be used in crop per year if
employing in-crop cultivation/residual herbicide.
c. Use alternative burndown and/or residual herbicides for RR crops likely to require
more than one application of glyphosate.
d. To manage RR resistant volunteers rotate RR crops with conventional crops.
e. Use full label rates of glyphosate and tank mix partners. Minimize weed escapes.
f. Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of field efficacy.
g. Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or
manufacturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed
management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop
Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Traxion
GT to control resistant weeds.
APPLICATION AND MIXING DIRECTIONS
TIMING
Traxion GT 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
) \Wtl1
-9-
control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seed head stage. Refer to the
WEEDS CONTROLLED, WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections, 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.
Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on
perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following
treatment may slow activity.
RATES
Follow recommended rates for Traxion GT listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED,
WOODY BRUSH AND TREES CONTROLLED sections. Use the higher label rates
when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures
when weed vegetation is dense.
SPRAY ADDITIVES
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) - Control of annual and perennial weeds with Traxion GT
may be improved by adding dry ammonium sulfate at 1.0 to 2% by weight or 8.5-17.0
Ibs.l100 gals. of water. Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate.
Do not reduce use rates of Traxion GT when using AMS.
Drift Control Agents - Drift control agents may be used with Traxion GT.
TANK MIXES WITH RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
Refer to crop sections for recommended tank mixes. Tank mixes of Traxion GT 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 % full with clean water.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
)
-10-
3. Add AMS (if used).
4. Add dry formulations (WP, OF, etc.) to tank.
5. Add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, etc.) to tank.
6. Add Traxion GT.
7. Fill remainder of spray tank.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES
• Avoid drift. Applications should not be made 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.
• Compatibility with drift control additives may vary. It is recommended that the
combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test. Read and follow
manufacturer's directions for use. A reduction in weed control may occur when drift
control agents are used.
• All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove product residues
after use.
BROADCAST APPLICATIONS
Ground
Applications should be made in 3-40 gals. 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 Traxion GT.
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 3-15 gals. of water per acre.
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and
flight safety. Applications more than 10 ft. above the canopy should be avoided.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation 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
---------------------------------
)
-11-
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 Traxion GT initially and every year thereafter. To
minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment produce the following
minimum spray deposition characteristics:
Volume Median Diameter (VMD)
Volume Diameter (VD) {O.g}
) 400 microns
) 200 microns
Prolonged exposure of uncoated steel surfaces to Traxion GT may result in corrosion
and possible failure of the part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which
meets aerospace specification M I L-C-38413 may prevent corrosion. To prevent
corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to
remove residues of Traxion GT accumulated during spraying or from spills. Landing
gears are most susceptible.
For aerial application in California, refer to the Federal Supplemental Label for aerial
application for specific instructions, restrictions, and requirements. For aerial
application, consult with State or local authorities regarding any additional requirements
for aerial treatments. Banvel tank mixtures may not be applied by air in California.
Avoid direct application to any body of water.
SHIELDED/HOODED APPLICATION
Use shielded/hooded sprayers to control weeds between rows while protecting the crop
from the herbicide. Keep shields/hoods as close to the ground as possible and avoid
ground speed in excess of 5 mph. Use appropriate nozzles, spacing, and pressure to
achieve coverage without allowing spray to touch or drift onto the crop. Maintain
equipment in good operating condition to prevent leakage or dripping onto the crop.
Refer to state extension service recommendations and equipment manufacturers'
guidelines for more information on proper operation of shielded/hooded sprayers.
SPOT TREATMENTS
For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.4 to 0.7% v/v solution. For annual weeds
over 6 inches, use a 0.7 to 1.1 % v/v solution. Use a 0.7 to 1.5% v/v solution for most
perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray
equipment (rider bar), use a 2.2% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for
rates of Traxion GT/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.

WIPER APPLICATION
Traxion GT may be applied using a wiper or "wick" applicator (e.g. rope, sponge, or
porous plastic applicators) for selective control or suppression of annual and perennial
weeds which become taller than the crop or desirable vegetation. Mix 3 quarts of
Traxion GT in 2 gals. of water unless directed otherwise in this label (See General Use
Precautions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines). Precautions should be taken to
avoid contact with crops or desirable vegetation. Equipment should be operated at
speeds of 5 mph or less. Use slower speeds where weeds are dense. For improved
control, make two applications in opposite directions.
CDA EQUIPMENT
For control of annual weeds with hand-held equipment, apply a 20% solution of Traxion
GT at a flow rate of 2 fl. oz. per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 mph (1 qUA). For
perennial weeds, use a 20 to 30% solution of Traxion GT at a flow rate of 2 oz. per

General Use Precautions for Berries, Fruits, Nuts, and Vines
• Do not allow the spray, spray drift, or mist to contact foliage, fruit, shoots, branches,
canes, suckers, open wounds, or green parts of crops. Contact with any crop part
other than mature brown woody bark can result in severe crop injury.
• Avoid contact with stumps as injury to adjacent trees may occur from root grafting.
• Do not apply in a tank mix in Puerto Rico.
• For peaches grown in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, apply Traxion GT with a shielded
applicator which prevents contact with foliage, suckers, or bark of trees. Apply no
later than 90 days after first bloom to avoid severe damage. Avoid application to
peach trees with recent mechanical injury or pruning wounds. Apply only near trees
which have been planted in the orchard for two or more years. SEVERE INJURY
WILL OCCUR IF ANY PORTION OF THE PEACH TREE IS CONTACTED WITH
SPRAY OR SPRAY DRIFT.

seed head emergence.
Bahiagrass
Traxion GT can be used to inhibit seed head emergence and suppress vegetative
growth for approximately 40-50 days with a single application. By using a sequential
application, suppression of vegetative growth and inhibition of seedhead emergence
can be extended to 120 days. Apply Traxion GT at 20-30 days after complete green-up
or after mowing to 4 inches tall. When a single application is planned, use 3 to 6 fl. oz.
of Traxion GT per acre in 10 to 20 gals. of water. When a seq uential application is
planned, use 3 to 6 fl. oz.lA for the first application followed by another application of 1.5
to 4 fl. oz.lA 40 to 50 days later.
Bermudagrass
For Suppression Only:
East of the Rocky Mountains - Apply 4 to 12 fl. oz. of Traxion GT in 3 to 20 gals. of
water per acre. Make the application 2 weeks after complete green-up or after 3 to 4
inches of regrowth following mowing. Use 2 to 6 fl. oz.lA if a lesser degree of
suppression is desired. A sequential application can be used when regrowth occurs.
West of the Rocky Mountains - Apply 4 to 12 fl. oz. of Traxion GT in 3 to 20 gallons of
water per acre. Make the application 2 weeks after complete green-up or after 3 to 4
inches of regrowth following mowing. A sequential application of 4 to 7 fl. oz. can be
used when regrowth occurs.
For Partial Control and Burndown:
Traxion GT can be used for burndown and partial control of bermudagrass at 1.4 to 2.9

Postemergence
Annual Weeds
Apply Traxion GT at 12 to 48 fl. oz.lA from cracking through full flowering of soybean
plants to control annual weeds. For best results, make the first application of Traxion
GT at 24 fl. oz.lA within 30 days after planting on weeds up to 6 inches tall. Refer to
Table 1 for specific rate information. Traxion GT will not provide residual control. To
control new weed flushes, repeat applications may be required.
Perennial Weeds
Apply Traxion GT at 24 to 48 fl. oz'/A to actively growing perennial grasses, sedges,
and broadleaf weeds. Applications in crop on glyphosate-tolerant soybeans normally
occur before perennial weeds reach the most desirable growth stage for control.
Treatments made prior to the timing designated in Table 3 may require retreatment.
Best control will be obtained when perennial broadleaf weeds are treated in the early
bud to flowering stage and when perennial grasses are in the boot to seedhead stage.

Table 4: Woody Brush and Trees Controlled
Apply Traxion GT after full leaf expansion, unless otherwise directed. Use the higher
rate for larger plants and/or dense areas of growth. On vines, use the higher rate for
plants that have reached the woody stage of growth. In most areas, best results are
obtained when application is made in late summer or fall after fruit formation.
In arid areas, best results are obtained when applications are made in the spring to
early summer when brush species are at high moisture content and are flowering.
Symptoms may not appear prior to frost or senescence with fall treatments.
Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage, mowing, or removal. Repeat
treatments may be necessary to control plants regenerating from underground parts or
seed. Reduced performance may result if fall treatments are made following a frost.
When plants are growing under stressed conditions, or where infestations are dense,
