PRODUCT INFORMATION
SYN19573 HorbicideCallisto GT is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for control of
emerged grass and broadleaf weeds plus residual control of broadleaf weeds in
glyphosate tolerant (GT) corn.
Following a postemergence application, susceptible weeds take up the herbicide
through the treated foliage and cease growth soon after application. Complete death of
the weeds may take up to 2 weeks.
SYN19573Callisto GT will provide 2-4 weeks residual control of newly emerging
broadleaf weeds listed in Table 1. SYN19573Callisto GTwill not provide residual
control of grass weeds.
USE PRECAUTIONS
1. SYN19573Callisto GT can be applied postemergence to glyphosate tolerant (e.g.
Roundup Ready®, Agrisure® GT) corn only. An application of SYN 19573Callisto
GT to a corn hybrid that is not glyphosate tolerant will result in crop death.
2. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if SYN19573Callisto GT is
applied postemergence to corn that was treated with Counter®, Lorsban® or
other organophosphate-containing soil insecticides.
3. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if SYN19573Callisto GT is
applied in a foliar postemergence tank mix with any organophosphate or
carbamate insecticide.
4. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any foliar organophosphate
or carbamate insecticide is applied postemergence within 7 days before or 7
days after SYN19573Callisto GT application.
5. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if SYN19573Callisto GT is
applied postemergence in a tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate grass
herbicides.
6. SYN19573Callisto GT may be tank mixed or sequentially applied with pyrethroid
insecticides such as Warrior®.
7. Cultivation of corn within 7 days before or after application may result in reduced
weed control from the SYN19573Callisto GT application. \^^ L t. L U
i I
8. Temporary crop response (transient bleaching) from postemergence. applications
to glyphosate tolerant corn may occur under extreme weather conditions pr-v/hen
the crop is suffering from stress. Corn quickly outgrows these effects and ' ^'
develops normally. (c, ^ < < -< < <
-8-
9. When tank mixing, follow the most restrictive label limitations and precautions.
USE RESTRICTIONS
1. Do not apply more than one time per year.
2. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
3. Do not apply this product with suspension fertilizers or urea ammonium nitrate
(UAN) as the carrier.
4. Do not apply more than 2 pints of SYN19573Callisto GT per acre per growing
season.
5. Do not apply this product by aerial application.
6. To avoid possible illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas
for 45 days following application.
7. Do not apply to corn taller than 30 inches in height or showing more than 8
leaves, whichever is more restrictive.
8. Do not harvest forage, grain, or stover within 45 days after application.
9. No more than 0.24 Ib. of mesotrione active ingredient may be applied per acre of
corn per year as a result of application of all mesotrione-containing products (for
example, Callisto).
10. No more than 6.0 Ibs. of glyphosate acid may be applied per acre per year as a
result of all glyphosate-containing products (for example, Touchdown Total®
Herbicide).
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain grass and broadleaf weed species with
resistance to triazines, glyphosate, PRO, HPPD and/or ALS inhibiting herbicides are
known to exist. The repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action is known
to lead to the selection of herbicide resistant weeds. Therefore, a good weed resistance
management strategy includes a program that contains multiple herbicide modestpft
action. Sound agronomic practices are also essential to reduce the likelihood thai, t'
resistant weed populations will develop and integrated strategies are known to manage
such problem weeds.1 L C I (. I I (
t ( C.
<- <- lilt
SYN19573Callisto GT contains two active ingredients (glyphosate - a<grcup 9 herbicide
and mesotrione - a group 27 herbicide) and two modes of action. Because of tbe.tyto
-9- (
modes of action, this product is an effective component of a weed resistance
management strategy. This product must be applied at full label rates to reduce
selection for, or population shifts toward, marginally tolerant weed species and/or
species biotypes.
Because glyphosate is one of the active ingredients in SYN19573Callisto GT.
glyphosate resistance management is critical. This product will control broad leaf weeds
that are showing increased tolerance or resistance to glyphosate. When applying this
product to broad leaf weeds that are suspected or known resistant to glyphosate, add
atrazine and/or dicamba (e.g. Distinct®, Status®) to provide an additional mode of
action. Follow all label directions and restrictions for the atrazine and dicamba products
tank mixed. This product will also not control emerged weeds that are resistant to both
glyphosate and HPPD inhibiting herbicides. For control of these resistant weeds, a
program that includes residual herbicides is essential.
If applying SYN19573Callisto GT postemergence after a mesotrione-containing
preemergence herbicide, always add atrazine as a tank-mix partner. If an additional
postemergence herbicide must be applied, it is recommended that a different mode of
action be used, i.e., other than an HPPD inhibitor (group 27 herbicide).
INTEGRATED PEST (WEED) MANAGEMENT
SYN19573Callisto GT may be integrated into an overall weed management strategy.
Practices known to reduce weed development (tillage, crop competition) and herbicide
use (weed scouting, proper application timing, banding, and rotations) should be
followed wherever possible. Consult local agricultural and weed authorities for
additional Integrated Pest Management strategies established for your area.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
GROUND APPLICATION
Spray nozzles should be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and should provide
accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse
droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Good weed coverage is essential
for optimum weed control. Boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications should
be based on the height of the crop.
Flat fan or Turbo Tee Jet nozzles are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use
flood jet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for applications of thicx < <
product. Applications of this product with air induction nozzles may result in
non-uniform spray coverage and less than optimum weed control. ', I
I I I I I I c
Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh orc • • » (
coarser. l';11;
-10-
Apply this product in a spray volume of 10-30 gals./A. Use a pump that can maintain
the nozzle manufacturer's recommendations and provide proper agitation within the
tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range
or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 15 gals./A.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if spraying
is stopped for brief periods. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes,
recirculate the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
SPRAY DRIFT
The interaction of equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for
spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making
a decision.
The most effective way to reduce spray drift potential is to apply large 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.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce spray 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.
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 manufacturers 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 Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended applications With
most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using
low-drift nozzles.
-11-
APPLICATION HEIGHT
Applications should be made at the lowest height above the target area that still
provides uniform coverage of the target. Making applications at the lowest yet effective
height reduces exposure of droplets to wind.
WIND
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds 10 mph or less. However, many factors
including droplet size, pressure, and equipment type determine drift potential at any
given wind speed. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns.
Leave a sufficient buffer downwind of the application to avoid drift to sensitive crops.
This buffer may be untreated corn rows or field border species maintained for this
purpose. The width of the buffer needed for a specific application will depend on the
wind speed, distance to sensitive crops, and application equipment parameters.
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.
SENSITIVE AREAS
This product 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). Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift to
non-target areas.
MIXING PROCEDURES
CARRIER
Use only clean water as the carrier when applying SYN19573Callisto GT.
ADDING SYN19573CALLISTO GT TO THE SPRAY TANK
The spray tank must be clean, thoroughly rinsed and decontaminated before adding
either SYN19573Callisto GT alone or with tank-mix partners. If water is used as the
carrier, use clean water.
SYN19573CALLISTO GT APPLIED ALONE
When used alone, add the recommended amount of SYN19573Callisto GT to the spray
tank when the tank is half full of clean water, and then add the rest of the clean water.
Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform mixture.
SYN19573CALLISTO GT APPLIED IN TANK MIXTURE
Refer to the crop use directions section of this label for recommended tank mixes.
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. Do not tank mix SYN19573Callisto GT with any other insecticide, fungicide,
fertilizer solution, or adjuvant not recommended on the label or supplemental labeling
without testing compatibility as poor mixing may result. 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.
TANK MIX COMPATABILITY TEST
A compatibility test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of
SYN19573Callisto GT with other products. The following test assumes a spray volume
of 25 gals./A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.
Test Procedure
c c t L
1. Add 1.0 pt. of clean water to each of two 1 qt. jars with tight lids. Note: Use-thfe
same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at;
the temperature the tank mix will be applied.
-13-
2. To one of the jars, add % tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved
for this use such as Compex or Unite (% tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pts./100 gals,
spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of product(s) in their relative
proportions based on recommended label rates. If more than one product is
used, add them separately with dry products first, flowables next, and
emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to
thoroughly mix.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times
to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large
flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of
incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray
mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be
remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving
compatibility: (a) slurry the dry product(s) in water before addition, or (b) add Y2
the compatibility agent to the water and the other V* to the emulsifiable
concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility
is still observed, do not use the mixture.
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in
accordance with the Storage and Disposal sections of the most restrictive
product label.
TANK MIX ORDER OF ADDITION
If the tank-mix partner is compatible, fill the tank half full of the water. Start and
continue agitation throughout mixing and spraying. All return lines to the spray tank
must discharge below the liquid level. Prepare the components and add in the following
order:
Follow the mixing instructions for adding SYN19573Callisto GT to the spray tank:
1. Only use sprayers in good running condition with good agitation. Ensure the
sprayer is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to
SYN19573CaHisto GT. 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 finer than 50-mesh should not be used.

3. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, add Ammonium Sulfate
(AMS) and agitate until completely dispersed.
4. Add adjuvant (NIS)
5. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with water
and add it slowly through the screen into the tank. Agitate during the procedure.
6. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing
and compatibility may be improved when a dry flowable is diluted with water
before adding to the tank.
7. Add SYN19573Callisto GT.
8. Add any other tank-mix products next with emulsifiable concentrates added last.
9. Complete filling the sprayer tank and continue agitation. Apply as soon as
possible after spray mixture is prepared. Do not leave mixture in spray tank
overnight without agitation or unattended.
CLEANING EQUIPMENT AFTER APPLICATION
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than
glyphosate tolerant corn. Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
1. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals, of water.
Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
2. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution.
Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a
pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning
solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the
tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed
from the spraying system.
3. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning
solution.
4. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner.
5. Repeat steps 2-5. { '

6. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia
solution after completing the above procedures.
7. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
For the optimum weed control and protection of the corn crop's yield potential, apply
SYN19573Callisto GT before weeds exceed 4 inches in height. Susceptible broadleaf
weeds which emerge soon after an application of SYN19573Callisto GT will be
controlled for an additional 2-4 weeks.
SYN19573Callisto GT will not control grasses that are resistant to glyphosate or
broadleaf weeds that are resistant to both glyphosate and HPPD inhibiting herbicides.
A tank mixture of SYN19573Callisto GT plus AAtrex® may be required for complete
control of heavy populations or resistant weeds.
SYN19573 HerbicideCallisto GT will not provide control of emerged grasses that are
resistant to glyphosate.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS - GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT CORN
Apply SYN19573Callisto GT postemergence only in glyphosate tolerant corn (e.g.
Roundup Ready, Agrisure GT) for control of the weeds listed in Table 1. When
glyphosate tolerant corn is grown under minimum or no-till conditions, control all
emerged weeds at the time of corn planting with a glyphosate or paraquat based
herbicide program.
USE RATE
Apply SYN19573Callisto GT at a rate of 2.0 pts./A as a postemergence application.
Consult Syngenta technical bulletins or supplemental labeling for additional application
rate information. Only one application may be made.
Applying SYN19573Callisto GT at rates less than 2.0 pts./A may result in incomplete
weed control, as well as less residual weed control. Using reduced rates of this product
also increases the risk for the development of weed resist biotypes. See the WEED
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT section of this label for specific instructions.
TIMING TO THE CROP
Apply SYN19573Callisto GT from emergence up to corn that is 30 inches tall. Do not
apply to corn taller than 30 inches in height or showing more than 8 leaves, whichever is
more restrictive.
While SYN19573Callisto GT has a wide window of application in corn, the best results
for maximizing yield and controlling weeds are obtained when applications are made
postemergence to small (<4") weeds. For even more consistent weed control and yield
protection, apply a preemergence herbicide such as Lumax® EZ, Lexar® EZ or
Zemax® followed by a timely postemergence application of SYN19573Callisto GT.
TIMING TO THE WEEDS
Apply SYN19573Callisto GT postemergence to actively growing weeds listed in Table 1.
For the best combination of postemergence weed control and protection of yield
potential, apply before weeds exceed 4 inches in height, length or diameter. While
SYN19573Callisto GT may control weeds that are larger than 4 inches, consistency <of
performance may be reduced. ' ^^" etc c

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 cloudyM/ve'ather following
treatment may slow activity. u l'' ° c " 'c

SPRAY ADJUVANTS
For effective control of weeds listed in Table 1, Apply SYN19573Callisto GT with a non-
ionic surfactant (NIS) and ammonium sulfate (AMS).
Non-Ionic Surfactant (NIS): Apply at 1-2 qts./100 gals. (0.25-0.5% v/v) of spray
solution. Use the higher rate of NIS when weeds are growing under stress (e.g. cool
temperatures, dry weather, etc.). Products must contain a minimum of 80% surface
active NIS
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS): Apply spray grade AMS at 8.5-17.0 lbs./100 gals, of spray
solution. Liquid AMS or blended product may be used but the final use rate must
deliver an AMS equivalence of 8.5-17.0 Ibs./lOO gals, of water.
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC): Crop oil concentrate may be substituted for NIS and
applied at a rate of 1 gals./100 gals. (1% v/v) of spray solution. The use of COC will
increase the risk for crop injury. If crop injury occurs, it is transient and corn will recover
fully within 5-7 days following application.
Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) Products: Due to crop injury risk, MSO or MSO based
product are not recommended for use with this product
Blended Adjuvant Products: Products that contain more than one component (e.g.
AMS plus NIS) are acceptable provided that the product delivers the full recommended
rate of each adjuvant. Use of blended products that deliver less than the full
recommended rate may result in unacceptable weed control
SEQUENTIAL WEED CONTROL
SYN19573Callisto GT should be applied as the postemergence component of a two-
pass weed control program. An example of this sequential approach would be the
following: apply Lexar EZ or Lumax EZ or Zemax preemergence and follow with a
postemergence application of SYN19573Callisto GT at 2.0 pts./A. Another example of
sequential weed control would be to apply SYN19573Callisto GT at 2.0 pts./A
postemergence following a preemergence application of Expert®, Bicep II Magnum®,
Bicep Lite II Magnum® or Dual II Magnum®.
Do not reduce the rate of SYN19573Callisto GT when applied in a sequential program.
Refer to the individual product labels and follow all use directions, precautions a'nd^..l
restrictions. it\ i c (
SYN19573Callisto GT must be applied with a non-ionic surfactant (Nl'3) and ammonium
sulfate (AMS). See the Spray Adjuvants section for specific recommendations.' < ><•'
-20-
S¥mS573Callisto GT POSTEMERGENCE TANK MIXTURE WITH AATREX
BRANDS
Apply SYN19573Callisto GT at 2.0 pts./A in tank mixture with AAtrex for control of
heavy weed populations or resistant or suspected resistant weeds. Add AAtrex® 4L at
a rate of 0.5-4.0 pts./A (0.25-2.0 Ibs. ai/A). Alternatively, AAtrex® Nine-O® may be
mixed with SYN19573Callisto GT at a rate that delivers 0.25-2.0 Ibs. ai/A. Atrazine
rates above 0.5 Ib. ai/A may result in glyphosate antagonism and reduced grass control.
SYN19573Callisto GT must be applied with a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) and ammonium
sulfate (AMS). See the Spray Adjuvants section for specific recommendations.
When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with
SYN10573Callisto GT to glyphosate tolerant corn, do not exceed an application rate of
2.0 pounds active ingredient of atrazine per acre for any single application and the total
pounds of atrazine applied (Ib. a.i. per acre) must not exceed 2.5 pounds active
ingredient per acre per year.
If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2.0 Ibs. ai/A
broadcast. If a postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide
application, the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 Ibs. ai/A per calendar year.
Do not apply any atrazine formulation if the corn is greater than 12 inches tall.
ADDITIONAL SYN19573Callisto GT POSTEMERGENCE TANK MIXTURES
The tank mixtures with SYN19573Callisto GT identified in Table 2 may be applied
postemergence to glyphosate tolerant corn (i.e., after corn has emerged). Applying
SYN19573Callisto GT at rates less than 2.0 pts./A may result in incomplete weed
control. Using reduced rates of this product also increases the risk for the development
of weed resist biotypes. See the WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT section of this
label for specific instructions.
Always add an appropriate adjuvant to the spray tank (see the Spray Adjuvants
section of this label). Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements,
restrictions, rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled.
