GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide may be applied as a preplant or preemergence burndown
|
||
application in cotton or as a postemergence directed application in glyphosate-tolerant
|
||
(GT) cotton and as a preplant or preemergence burndown in soybeans or as a
|
||
postemergence over-the-top application in glyphosate-tolerant (GT) soybeans to control
|
||
labeled broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds.
|
||
|
||
-7-
|
||
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
|
||
Always apply Flexstar GT Herbicide under favorable environmental conditions that
|
||
promote active weed growth. Avoid applying Flexstar GT Herbicide to weeds which are
|
||
under stress from drought, extreme temperatures, excessive water, low humidity, low
|
||
soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or increased
|
||
crop injury may result.
|
||
Preplant Surface, Preemergence or Postemergence Applications
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide wi" control or partially control certain germinating broad leaf
|
||
weeds and sedges by soil residual activity from either preplant surface, preemergence
|
||
or postemergence applications that come in contact with the soil. Moisture is necessary
|
||
to activate Flexstar GT Herbicide in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following
|
||
applications of Flexstar GT Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. When adequate
|
||
moisture is not received within 7 days after a Flexstar GT Herbicide application, weed
|
||
control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a % inch of water.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Weeds may be put
|
||
under stress by cultivation thus reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 2-3 weeks
|
||
after applying Flexstar GT Herbicide may assist weed control.
|
||
Information on Weed Resistance
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide contains glyphosate which inhibits 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-
|
||
phosphate (EPSP) synthase (Group 9 herbicide) and fomesafen which inhibits
|
||
protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPG oxidase or Protox) (Group 14 herbicide). Some
|
||
naturally occurring weed populations have been identified as resistant to Group 9 and
|
||
Group 14 herbicides. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these
|
||
herbicides in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype
|
||
may be present if poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental
|
||
conditions or improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your
|
||
local Syngenta representative or agricultural advisor for assistance.
|
||
Glyphosate Resistance
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
-8-
|
||
Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients in Flexstar GT Herbicide, so glyphosate
|
||
resistance management is critical. Flexstar GT Herbicide will control or partially control
|
||
several broadleaf weeds that are showing increased tolerance or resistance to
|
||
glyphosate. Flexstar GT Herbicide will not provide control of emerged grasses that are
|
||
resistant to glyphosate.
|
||
The following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in
|
||
glyphosate-based programs.
|
||
• In Roundup Ready® (RR) 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 mode of action herbicides and/or cultural practices.
|
||
• In RR cotton, a maximum of three applications of a glyphosate-based herbicide may
|
||
be used if employing in-crop cUltivation and/or residual herbicides.
|
||
• Use alternative (non-glyphosate) burndown and/or residual herbicides for RR crops
|
||
likely to require more than one application of glyphosate.
|
||
• To help manage RR resistant volunteers rotate RR crops with conventional or non
|
||
RR crops.
|
||
• Use full labeled rates of glyphosate and tank-mix partners. Minimize weed escapes.
|
||
• Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of field efficacy.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or Syngenta Crop
|
||
Protection representative for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated
|
||
weed management directions for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Drift Management
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the
|
||
grower. The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the
|
||
potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of
|
||
equipment and weather-related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive
|
||
nontarget plants is minimal.
|
||
This pesticide is to be applied only when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive
|
||
areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, nontarget plants) is minimal (i.e., when
|
||
the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area).
|
||
|
||
-9-
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide is specifically formulated with the ISOLlNKTM Technology II that
|
||
minimizes the need for additional spray adjuvants. Under certain conditions, burndown
|
||
and postemergence activity may be improved by adding one or more of the following
|
||
spray adjuvants:
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 to 17 Ib./100 gallons of water should be added in
|
||
areas where commonly used with glyphosate containing products. Liquid formulations
|
||
of AMS may be used at an equivalent rate.
|
||
One of the following spray adjuvants can be added for difficult to control weeds
|
||
or under adverse conditions:
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Methylated Seed Oil (MSO): Use a nonphytotoxic
|
||
COC or MSO containing 15-20% approved emulsifier at 0.5-1% v/v (2-4 quarts/100
|
||
gallons) of finished spray volume. COC or MSO can improve weed control but may
|
||
reduce crop tolerance.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant {NIS}: Use NIS containing at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25-
|
||
0.5% v/v (1-2 quarts/100 gallons) of finished spray volume.
|
||
The use of deposition (drift control) agents that impact droplet size and coverage may
|
||
reduce weed control.
|
||
Recommended Tank Mixing Order
|
||
1. Fill the spray tank with % to ~ the required amount of water and begin agitation.
|
||
2. Add AMS (if used).
|
||
3. Add dry pesticide formulations (WP, OF, etc.).
|
||
4. Add liquid pesticide formulations (EC, SC, etc.).
|
||
5. Add Flexstar GT Herbicide.
|
||
6. Add COC, MSO or NIS (if used).
|
||
7. Add the remaining water and maintain agitation throughout the spray operation.
|
||
Be sure to allow each tank-mix component to fully disperse before adding the next.
|
||
|
||
-10-
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A
|
||
spray volume of 15-20 gallons per acre and 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip is recommended.
|
||
When foliage is dense, use a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure adequate
|
||
coverage.
|
||
The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective postemergence application of
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide. Use nozzles that are set up to deliver medium quality spray
|
||
(ASAE Standard S-572).
|
||
DO NOT USE AIR-INDUCTION, FLOOD TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLES WHICH
|
||
DELIVER COARSE, LARGE DROPLET SPRAYS.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A
|
||
minimum of 5 gallons per acre of spray mixture should be applied with a maximum of 40
|
||
psi pressure. When foliage is dense, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure
|
||
coverage of weed foliage.
|
||
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

• Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner before
|
||
and after each use.
|
||
• Tank mixes of Flexstar GT Herbicide with other pesticides, fertilizers or any other
|
||
additives except as specified on this label or other Syngenta labeling or
|
||
recommendations made by Syngenta Crop Protection may result in tank-mix
|
||
incompatibility, unsatisfactory performance or unacceptable crop injury.
|
||
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths, as injury may occur in crop or to rotational crops.
|
||
• Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may reduce performance.
|
||
• To provide adequate coverage, it is recommended that ground speed not exceed 10
|
||
mph during application.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph.
|
||
• 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 on avoiding or minimizing spray drift.
|
||
• Flexstar GT Herbicide is not volatile and cannot move as vapor after application onto
|
||
nontarget vegetation.
|
||
• Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of Flexstar GT Herbicide
|
||
to any desirable crop or plant to which treatment is not intended.
|
||
• Spray solutions of Flexstar GT Herbicide must be mixed, stored and applied using
|
||
only plastic, plastic-lined steel, stainless steel, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate
|

||
Burndown and Residual Weed Control Applications
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide can provide burndown of emerged weeds and residual control of
|
||
certain germinating broad leaf weeds and sedges from either a !)replant surface or
|
||
preemergence application in cotton. Apply as a preplant surface or preemergence
|
||
treatment only to coarse textured soils (sandy loam, loamy sand, sandy clay loam). Do
|
||
not apply as a preplant surface or preemergence treatment to medium or fine-textured
|
||
soils as crop injury will likely occur.
|
||
Refer to Table 1 for use rates and weeds controlled by pre plant surface or
|
||
preemergence applications and Tables 2 and 3 for use rates, weed growth stages and
|
||
weeds controlled by postemergence applications.
|
||
Emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Refer to the
|
||
Spray Adjuvants section for directions on spray adjuvants for postemergence weed
|
||
control.
|
||
Moisture is necessary to activate Flexstar GT Herbicide in soil for residual weed control.
|
||
Dry weather following application of Flexstar GT Herbicide may'reduce residual activity.
|
||
When adequate moisture is not received within 7 days after a Flexstar GT Herbicide
|
||
application, residual weed control may be improved with at least a 'X inch of overhead
|
||
irrigation ..
|
||
Cotton plants are tolerant to preemergence applications of Flexstar GT Herbicide when
|
||
applied at specified rates and to coarse-textured soils. Some crinkling or spotting of
|
||
cotton foliage or stunting may occur, especially if heavy rainfall occurs during or soon
|
||
after cotton emergence but cotton plants normally outgrow these effects and develop
|
||
normally.
|
||
Tank Mixes for Burlid6wli aiidResidualWeed Control Applic-ations
|
||
Flexstar GT Herbicide can be applied in a tank mix with the following products:
|
||
Caparol®, Cotoran®, Dicamba, Direx®, Glyphosate products (such as Touchdown® or
|
||
Roundup® brands), Karmex®, Prowl® H20, Solicam®, and Staple®. Refer to individual
|
||
product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates and a list of weeds
|
||
controlled.
|
||
Post-Directed Application in Roundup Ready Flex Cotton
|
||
Apply Flexstar GT Herbicide in emerged Roundup Ready Flex cotton as a post-directed
|
||
treatment using precision post-directed, hooded or shielded application equipment to
|
||
provide complete coverage of emerged weeds. Apply Flexstar 'GT Herbicide at 3 pts.lA
|
||
in a minimum of 15 gallons spray solution per acre. Applications may be made
|
||
|
||
-25-
|
||
broadcast or banded. Post-directed applications of Flexstar GT Herbicide will provide
|
||
contact control of labeled weeds and residual preemergence control of labeled weeds
|
||
(once activated by rainfall or irrigation). Refer to Table 1 for weeds controlled or
|
||
partially controlled through residual activity and Tables 2-3 for weeds controlled by
|
||
postemergence activity. Do not exceed 3 pts.lA as a post-directed application in
|
||
Roundup Ready Flex cotton.
|
||
Cotton foliage is not tolerant to Flexstar GT Herbicide applications. Avoid contact to
|
||
cotton foliage as unacceptable injury will occur. Application equipment should be
|
||
calibrated (spray pressure, nozzle type and configuration, and orifice size) to avoid fine
|
||
spray droplets contacting green cotton stems and foliage.

|
||
applications should avoid spray contact with any green non-barked parts of the cotton
|
||
plant or foliage as unacceptable injury will occur. Follow the application timing
|
||
recommendations below for post-directed applications in Roundup Ready Flex cotton.
|
||
Shielded and Hooded Applications
|
||
Make a precision post-directed Flexstar GT Herbicide application to the Qase of
|
||
the cotton plant avoiding contact with the cotton stem or foliage when cotton is at
|
||

|
||
AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORY
|
||
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
|
||
determines 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 % the
|
||
length of the wingspan or rotor.
|
||
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel withtheairstrealTl and never be
|
||
pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
The applicator must be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the
|
||
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information.
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
-29-
|
||
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 sections of this label).
|
||
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 - 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.
|
||
• 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 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 % of the
|
||
wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
|
||
Application-Height
|
||
Applications must 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 crosswind, 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.).
|
||
|
||
-30-
|
||
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 must be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high
|
||
inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
|
||
must 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 must 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.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
The pesticide is to be applied only when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas
|
||
(e,g. residential areas,boElies·ofwater;known habitat for threatened or endangered
|
||
species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive
|
||
areas).
