GENERAL INFORMATION 
Amber is a selective herbicide for the control of many weeds in wheat (including durum 
wheat), barley, fallow cropland, pastures, rangeland, and Conservation Reserve 
Program acres. Refer to Table 1 for a listing of weeds controlled. Amber is a 75% 
water-dispersible granule which must be thoroughly mixed in water and applied as a 
spray. 
This herbicide controls weeds by inhibiting a biochemical process that produces certain 
essential amino acids necessary for plant growth. The inhibited enzyme system is 
acetolactate synthase (ALS). Growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited soon after Amber 
application. Leaves of susceptible plants turn yellow and/or red followed by death of the 
growing point. These visible effects of control may not be observed until 1-3 weeks 
after application depending upon weed species, growing conditions, and Amber rate. 
Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good weed control. 
Use Amber in the following states only: CO, 10, KS, MN, MT, NO, NE, NM, NV, OK, 
OR, SO, TX, UT, WA, and WY.

-7-
Do not use Amber in the San Luis Valley of CO or in sections of WA and OR, west of 
the Cascade Mountains. In WA, abide by all sulfonylurea aerial application rulings in 
effect by the Washington Department of Agriculture. 
SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
Use either ground or aerial spray equipment. Calibrate spray equipment before use. 
Use equipment that is capable of continuous and vigorous tank agitation. Use spray 
nozzles that provide medium-coarse droplets (250-400 microns VMD). When the tank 
is full, the agitation system should be capable of creating a rippling or rolling action on 
the liquid surface. 
Use a 16-mesh strainer at the tank outlet. For the nozzles, use the screen 
recommended by the nozzle supplier. For ground application of 3-20 gals.lA, use only 
conventional or low pressure flat fan nozzles to assure adequate coverage. For ground 
application of more than 20 gals.lA, rain-drop or floodjet nozzles may be used. In dense 
stands of wheat or barley, use an adequate spray volume to provide uniform coverage 
of the weeds. 
For aerial application to wheat, barley, and fallow cropland, use a spray volume of 2-5 
gals.lA. For aerial application to pastures, rangeland, and Conservation Reserve 
Program acres, apply in a minimum of 2 gals. of spray volume per acre. Apply at a 
maximum height of 10ft. above the crop with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure 
of 40 psi and wind speed not exceeding 10 mph to assure accurate application within 
the target area. 
Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or 
where excessive spray drift may occur. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation 
of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. 
Do not apply Amber through irrigation systems. 
MIXING PROCEDURES 
Water as Carrier 
1. Be sure the sprayer is clean. 
2. Always use clean water. Fill the tank with approximately 25% of the total water 
volume needed, and begin agitation. 
3. Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and that it creates a 
rippling or rolling action at the liquid surface.

J 
j 
\

4. Add all of the appropriate number of Amber soluble packets and any other 
product packaged in water-soluble film to the tank (Refer to Table 2). 
5. Complete filling of the tank, maintaining sufficient agitation at all times to ensure 
complete and uniform dispersal of product. This applies to both spray and nurse 
tanks. 
6. Disperse Amber completely (agitate for 3-5 minutes) before adding surfactant or 
another chemical to the tank. 
7. A non ionic surfactant with a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as a 
spray adjuvant must be added at 1-2 qts.l100 gals. of spray volume (0.25-0.5% 
volume per volume) for all applications to emerged weeds. Use 0.5% surfactant 
when applying Amber to dense weed populations or when applying Amber in a 
spray volume of 10 gals.lA or less. 
8. Always maintain continuous agitation while the spray suspension is in the tank. 
9. Mix only sufficient spray suspension to be used the same day; however, Amber 
will remain active in the spray mixture for at least 36 hours. 
Liquid Fertilizer as Carrier 
The mixing steps are the same as listed above except the Amber must first be 
dispersed in water as described in the following steps prior to adding it to the spray tank 
(step number 4 above). 
1. Fill a 2.5 gal. container with 2 gals. of water. 
2. Place the appropriate number of Amber soluble packets (Refer to Table 2) in the 
container and wait 30 seconds. 
3. Close the container and shake it vigorously until the packets are dissolved and 
the product is completely dispersed. 
4. When the water-soluble packets and the Amber are completely dispersed, add 
the mixture to the spray tank. When using a surfactant with liquid fertilizer 
solutions, add the surfactant to this water mixture before adding the mixture to 
the spray tank. 
5. Rinse the 2.5 gal. container with water, and add the rinsate to the spray tank. 
6. Continue with steps 5-9 in the Water as Carrier instructions.

Amber may be mixed in an inductor cone before adding it to the liquid fertilizer on 
sprayers so equipped as described in the following steps. 
1. Shut off inductor cone valve and fill the cone with 2-3 gals. of water. 
2. Add the appropriate number of Amber soluble packets (Refer to Table 2) to the 
water in the cone all at once. 
3. Wait one minute to allow the packets and Amber to completely disperse. 
4. When the water-soluble packets and the Amber are completely dispersed, open 
the inductor cone valve in order to add the Amber mixture to the spray tank. 
When using a surfactant with liquid fertilizer solutions, add the surfactant to the 
water mixture in the cone before opening the inductor cone valve. 
5. Rinse the inductor cone thoroughly and keep the valve open so the rinsate is 
added to the spray tank. 
6. Continue with steps 5-9 in the Water as Carrier instructions. 
Note: The addition of surfactant to spray mixtures more than 50% fertilizer can 
cause increased temporary leaf burn. The surfactant may be omitted from the 
spray solution if the carrier contains more than 50% fertilizer. If the surfactant is 
omitted, control of some of the more difficult to control weeds (bottom of Table 1) 
may be reduced under unfavorable conditions (Le., larger weeds, dry soil, etc.). 
For optimum control of those species, a 50% fertilizer solution as a carrier should 
be used with an appropriate surfactant. 
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 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. 
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. 
• 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.

, 
\ 
) 
( 
/ 
-11-
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. 
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 
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). 
Cleaning Equipment after Application 
Because some broad leaf crops are extremely sensitive to low rates of Amber, special 
attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than those 
registered for use and on this label. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. 
Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using this procedure: 
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. 
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of one gal. of household ammonia per 50 gals. of 
water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used as well. Please read 
Syngenta brochure "Clean It Up! - A Guide To Cleaning Your Sprayers" (NCP 
175-00088-A 3/97) for a partial listing of approved tank cleaners and more 
information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine based 
cleaners such as Clorox®. 
3. When available, 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. 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. 
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least one minute with -the cleaning 
solution. 
5. 
6. 
7. 
Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner. Spray the cleaning 
solution on untreated corn or return to a rinsate tank for later use as make-up 
water for spraying corn. 
Repeat steps 2-5. 
Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning 
solution after completing the above procedures. 
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

-13-
Note: If the tank is equipped with the proper number of correctly mounted 360· 
tank washing nozzles which are attached to a dedicated rinsing system, less 
cleaning solution than a full tank may be used. Use sufficient cleaning solution to 
thoroughly rinse all surfaces. Start the sprayer agitation and recirculate the 
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Flush the spray boom with the cleaning 
solution. Repeat the rinsing procedure as outlined in this Note 1-2 times, 
including flushing the spray boom with the cleaning solution. After the last flush 
of the system, remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in 
fresh cleaning solution. 
WEED RESISTANCE TO ALS-INHIBITOR HERBICIDES 
In some fields, there are naturally-occurring biotypes of kochia, Russian thistle, 
chickweed, prickly lettuce, and annual ryegrass that will not be controlled by 
sulfonylurea herbicides such as Amber. 
Control of these weeds may be excellent with the use of Amber in many fields; but, 
where there are known occurrences of ALS-resistant biotypes, Amber must be tank 
mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different 
mode of action* (such as AimTM; 2,4-0; MCPA; Starane®; Curtail®; Banvel®; or 
Buctril®) to insure control of these ALS-resistant biotypes. 
*Mode of action is the biochemical mechanism for interfering with plant growth. 
The occurrence of ALS-resistant weed biotypes can be prevented or delayed by using 
Amber in tank mixtures and/or in sequential applications with a registered herbicide 
having a different mode of action, and by not allowing weed escapes to flower. Post­
harvest tillage or application of a herbicide with a different mode of action must be made 
to control any weed escapes before they flower or set seed. If weeds will flower before 
harvest, make a sequential application of an appropriate herbicide with a different mode 
of action from Amber. A list of herbicides with the same mode of action as Amber can 
be obtained from your local Syngenta representative. Amber applied to fallow cropland 
must be applied as a tank mixture, or be followed by a herbicide with a different mode of 
action within 12 months. 
Do not use Amber alone in any field where ALS-resistant biotypes of any weed species 
have been identified. 
An application of a herbicide with a different mode of action from Amber, or a tillage 
operation, must be made to control any weeds before they flower that may be present in 
fallow cropland treated with Amber. 
Do not apply Amber or other herbicides with the same mode of action within a 12-month 
period after an Amber application, except for split applications as described below. If 
additional weed control is needed, use a herbicide with a different mode of action from 
Amber.

POSTEMERGENCE AMBER APPLICATION TO WINTER OR SPRING WHEAT, 
WINTER OR SPRING BARLEY, OR POSTEMERGENCE TO WEEDS IN FALLOW 
CROPLAND (INCLUDING POST-HARVEST CEREAL STUBBLE) 
Apply Amber at a standard or enhanced rate when the target weeds shown in Table 1 
are ACTIVELY GROWING AND ARE WITHIN THE HEIGHT AND DIAMETER RANGE 
SPECIFIED, and the wheat is at ANY STAGE UP TO PRE-BOOT or barley is in the 2-
LEAF TO PRE-BOOT STAGE. Optimal control can be obtained for most weed species 
when the weeds are 2 inches or less in height and/or diameter. Very large weeds may 
only be suppressed. Do not apply the enhanced rate in areas with a soil pH greater 
than 7.5, except in the Blacklands of TX and OK. Use the low range (0.28 oz.lA) of the 
standard rate unless additional length of control is needed. If additional length of control 
is needed, or if weeds are at or above the maximum height, use the 0.35 or 0.47 oz.lA 
rate of Amber. These rates of Amber can also be used for the more difficult to control 
weeds (such as wild buckwheat) at the bottom of the standard rate section of Table 1. 
Include a nonionic surfactant in the spray mixture as described in the Mixing 
Procedures section. 
Amber will also provide preemergence control of the weeds listed in Table 1 that may 
germinate after application, provided rainfall (enough to wet the soil 2-3 inches deep) 
moves Amber into the soil before seedlings emerge. Application of Amber at the 
enhanced rate will increase the duration of weed control. 
For optimum control, fall applications of Amber to weeds in winter wheat, winter barley, 
or fallow cropland must be made before the emerged weeds are exposed to extended 
freezing temperatures. 
Precautions: To avoid possible crop injury, do not apply Amber to wheat or barley that 
is stressed due to (1) extremes in temperature or rainfall; (2) disease or insect pressure; 
or (3) when extremes in temperature or rainfall are expected within one week of 
application. 
Amber must be tank mixed with other appropriate herbicide(s) to obtain broad 
spectrum weed control in fallow cropland. Refer to the Amber Tank Mixtures with 
Other Herbicides section. 
Do not plant durum wheat less than 8 months after anAmber application.

PREPLANT, PREPLANT SHALLOW-INCORPORATED, OR PREEMERGENCE 
AMBER APPLICATION TO WINTER OR SPRING WHEAT (EXCEPT DURUM 
WHEAT) 
Preplant, preplant shallow-incorporated (top 1 inch of soil), or preemergence Amber 
application at a standard or enhanced rate will provide control of the weeds listed in 
Table 1, provided rainfall (enough to wet the soil 2-3 inches deep) is received before 
weed emergence. Preplant or preplant shallow-incorporated applications should be 
used only if a disk drill is to be used for planting; not hoe/sweep drills. 
Apply Amber preplant, preplant shallow-incorporated, or preemergence to wheat at the 
enhanced rate (0.56 oz.lA) for the suppression of annual ryegrass and for suppression 
of light to moderate Japanese brome, downy brome, and cheat populations that have 
not emerged. Sufficient and timely rainfall (enough to wet the soil 2-3 inches deep) is 
required for preplant, preplant shallow-incorporated, or preemergence activity. It may 
be necessary to apply a sequential application of Sencor® or Lexone® ifsuppression of 
Japanese brome, downy brome, or cheat is not adequate after Amber application. 
Refer to the Sencor or Lexone label for directions for use and wheat variety restrictions. 
Amber will not adequately suppress heavy or dense populations of downy brome or 
cheat. Amber may be tank mixed with Metribuzin or Maverick™ for improved control of 
downy brome and cheat (see Tank Mixtures section). 
Precaution: Do not apply Amber pre emergence to late fall-seeded winter wheat if 
environmental conditions that stress wheat are expected within 2 weeks after 
application. 
SPLIT AMBER APPLICATIONS TO WINTER WHEAT (SOIL PH LESS THAN 7.5) 
Amber may be applied as a split application to winter wheat to control susceptible 
weeds that may be expected to emerge later in the growing season. Make the initial 
application of Amber either preplant, preplant shallow-incorporated, preemergence, or 
postemergence at the low standard rate (0.28 oz.lA), and follow with an additional 
postemergence application at the low standard rate no sooner than 60 days after the 
first application. The second application must be tank mixed with a herbicide 
registered for use in wheat having a different mode of action (such as Aim; 2,4-D; 
MCPA; Starane; Curtail; Banvel; or Buctril) to minimize selection of resistant weed 
biotypes. The second application must be applied no later than pre-boot, or any earlier 
growth stage specified on the tank mix partner label. Include a non ionic surfactant in 
the spray mixture as described in the Mixing Procedures section.

Precaution: Weed control is dependent upon weed species, size at application, growing 
conditions, and the level of competition from the crop. Weed control may be reduced if 
weeds are stressed due to drought, excess cold or warm temperatures, or other factors 
that reduce growth. Competition of the crop with the weeds helps in providing control. 
Note: To avoid possible illegal residues, do not apply more than a total of 0.56 oz. of 
Amber per acre when making split applications.

POSTEMERGENCE AMBER APPLICATION TO PASTURES, RANGELAND, AND 
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP) ACRES 
Amber can be applied postemergence to emerged and actively growing weeds in 
pastures, rangeland, and CRP acres at the standard or enhanced rates (see Table 1) 
for weed control in the following established grasses:

Bothriochloa caucasica 
Bromus inermis 
Buchloe dactyloides 
Festuca ovina 
Bouteloua gracilis 
Bouteloua curtipendula 
Agrostis alba 
Phleum pratense 
Agropyron spicatum 
Agropyron cristatum 
Agropyron intermedium 
Agropyron tricophorum 
For new seedings of the above grasses, do not apply Amber until at least 50 days after 
emergence of the desirable grasses or 30 days after sprigging of bermudagrass. Even 
established stands of orchardgrass, red fescue, and ryegrasses will likely be injured by 
Amber. If desirable broadleaves, such as clovers and alfalfa, are present, they will likely 
be severely injured by Amber applications. 
Weed Control 
For information on weeds controlled, size limitations, and rate of Amber to use, refer to 
Table 1. Many of the weeds in that table commonly occur in rangeland, pastures, and 
CRP acres. In addition to the weeds listed in Table 1, Amber at the standard or 
enhanced rates will provide first year control and subsequent year suppression of: 
hoary cress (whitetop) and poison hemlock. 
For all postemergence applications, Amber should be applied to actively growing weeds 
and a nonionic surfactant should be included in the spray mixture as described in the 
Mixing Procedures section of this label. To obtain optimum control and to manage 
weed resistance, Amber should be applied in tank mixture with an appropriate 
registered herbicide having another mode of action (examples are 2,4-D, Banvel, 
Clarity®, Curtail, CrossboW®, Grazon®, Stinger®, Tordon™, Weedmaster®, and 
Weedone® LV5). The tank mix partner should be used at a recommended tank mix 
rate; and all directions, restrictions, precautions, etc. should be followed on both labels. 
Biotypes of the weeds marked with an (*) in Table 1 have been selected which are 
resistant to certain or all sulfonylureas. Those biotypes will likely not be controlled with 
Amber. Follow the precautions and instructions in the Weed Resistance to ALS­
Inhibitor Herbicides section of this label.

, 
I 
) 
-22-
Amber at the standard rate (0.28 oz'/A) will provide partial control of western ragweed 
(Ambrosia psilostachya) if applied to plants less than 5 inches tall. A second application 
of the standard or enhanced rate (0.28 or 0.56 oz'/A) can be made no later than 60 
days after the initial application for additional control of late germinating western 
ragweed and for improved residual control. 
Precaution: Weed control is dependent upon weed species, size at application, growing 
conditions, and the level of competition from the crop. Weed control may be reduced if 
weeds are stressed due to drought, excess cold or warm temperatures, or other factors 
that reduce growth. Competition of the crop with the weeds helps in providing control. 
Refer to Table 2 for the number of water-soluble packets to use to treat various 
acreages. The maximum total amount of Amber that can be applied in a calendar year 
is 0.84 oz'/A. 
Downy brome and cheat control: Partial control of downy brome and cheat can be 
obtained by applying Amber at 0.56 oz'/A prior to emergence of those grasses. Follow 
directions for control of downy brome in wheat as described in the Preemergence 
Amber Application to Winter or Spring Wheat section of this label. 
Poisonous plants: The following weeds controlled by Amber can be poisonous to 
livestock in pastures and rangeland: bur buttercup, coast fiddleneck, cocklebur, 
creeping buttercup, goldenrod, and tall buttercup. 
Note: To avoid possible illegal residues, do not cut for hay for 30 days following 
application. Grazing may occur immediately following application. 
TANK MIXTURES 
Note: The many formulatioins of tank mix partner products have greatly varying mixing 
characteristics. Before Amber is used in tank mixture with other products, the mixture 
should first be tested in small containers for physical compatibility. When conducting a 
compatibility test, follow the same procedures given for large quantities given in the 
Mixing Procedures section. 
Amber Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
Tank mix a standard rate of Amber with a suitable herbicide from the list below to: (1) 
control broadleaf weeds that are beyond the optimum treatment size; or (2) control 
broadleaf or grass weeds not named on this label; or (3) control ALS-resistant weeds. 
Amber must be applied in tank mixture for use in fallow cropland. 
Refer to the label of the tank mix partner for appropriate crops, additional weeds 
controlled, and directions for use; and observe all precautions and restrictions on the 
labels of products used in tank mixtures.

If henbit has emerged, apply Amber early postemergence at a standard use rate in 
combination with Ally; Banvel + 2,4-0; Buctril; MCPA; Lexone; or Sencor. 
Tank Mix with Metribuzin (Lexone or Sencor) or Maverick for Suppression of 
Downy Brome and Cheat 
For suppression/partial control of downy brome and cheat in wheat, apply a standard 
rate of Amber plus 0.062-0.25 lb. a.i./A (2-8 oz.lA of 4L or 0.083-0.33 Ib.lA of 750F) of 
metribuzin or 213 oz.lA of Maverick early postemergence. Refer to the Lexone, Sencor, 
or Maverick label for rates, timings, and restrictions, such as variety limitations. 
Tank Mix With Fallow Master For Conservation Tillage 
For burndown plus residual control of weeds in Table 1, apply a standard rate of Amber 
plus labeled rates of Fallow Master in fallow cropland or at least 15 days prior to 
seeding winter or spring wheat in no-tillage or reduced-tillage systems. To obtain good 
soil activity, enough rainfall is needed to wet the soil 2-3 inches deep before weed 
emergence. If weeds emerge, control them with a herbicide(s) having a different mode 
of action than Amber; for example, 2,4-0 + Banvel.

Tank Mix Application With Tilt® Fungicide 
For control of foot rot in wheat in the Pacific Northwest, Tilt fungicide may be applied at 
4 fl. oz.lA in combination with Amber at either a standard or enhanced rate. Refer to the 
Tilt label for specific use directions and restrictions. 
AMBER APPLICATION WITH ORGANOPHOSPHATE INSECTICIDES 
Amber may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with registered organophosphate 
insecticides except malathion. These tank mixtures or sequential applications may 
cause temporary crop discoloration or crop injury, especially if the crop is under 
environmental stress at the time of treatment. 
Delay Amber application for at least 60 days after an in-furrow application of an 
organophosphate insecticide. 
GRAZING AND RE-SEEDING FOLLOWING AMBER APPLICATION TO WHEAT, 
BARLEY, OR FALLOW CROPLAND 
There are no grazing restrictions following Amber application. 
Wheat (except durum wheat) may be re-seeded immediately after application of either a 
standard rate or the enhanced rate. 
ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS 
The following crops may be planted after an Amber application without a field bioassay, 
provided the following conditions are met and the required time has elapsed between 
the last Amber application and the crop planting date. When applying Amber in a tank 
mix, refer to the rotational restrictions on this label and the label of the tank mix partner 
and observe the more restrictive interval. 
Wheat 
Do not plant Durum wheat less than 8 months after an Amber application. Other spring 
and winter wheat varieties may be replanted at any time.

These crops are extremely sensitive to low levels of Amber in the soil and should not 
be planted less than 24 months after any application of Amber and only after a 
successful field bioassay is completed. 
Other Crops 
All crops other than wheat, barley, rye, oats, proso millet, bermudagrass, field corn, 
grain sorghum, and soybeans under the specific conditions described above, may be 
seeded only after the completion of a successful field bioassay and no sooner than 4 
months after application. Refer to Field Bioassay Instructions section.

.. -27-
FIELD BIOASSAY INSTRUCTIONS 
Using typical tillage, seeding practices, and timings for the particular crop, plant several 
strips of the desired crop variety across the field which has been previously treated with 
Amber. Plant the strips perpendicular to the direction Amber was applied. The strips 
should be located so that all the different field conditions are encountered, including 
differences in soil texture, pH, and drainage. If the crop does not show visible 
symptoms of injury, stand reduction, and/or yield reduction, this field can be seeded with 
this crop the next growing season after the bioassay. If visible injury, stand reduction, 
or yield reduction occurs, this crop must not be seeded, and the bioassay must be 
repeated the next growing season. 
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS 
1. Do not use Amber in fields where the combination of all three of these criteria 
occur: 
• Historic average annual rainfall (or the combination of historic annual 
rainfall plus planned irrigation of the crop) exceeds 35 inches per year, 
and 
• The ground water table is 30 ft. or less below the soil surface, and 
• The soil is classified as a coarse soil (sand or loamy sand soil texture in 
the surface layer). 
5. When applying to wheat, barley, or fallow cropland, do not apply more than one 
application of 0.56 oz.lA or two applications of 0.28 oz.lA (separated by at least 
60 days) per crop. Split applications must be made within the same cropping 
season. 
6. When applying to pastures, rangeland, or eRP acres, do not apply more than a 
total of 0.84 oz.lA per year as follows: one application of 0.28 oz.lA may be 
applied postemergence, followed by a second application not more than 60 days 
later at up to 0.56 oz.lA. 
7. Do not apply Amber or other herbicides with the same mode of action within a 
12-month period after an Amber application, except as directed on this label for 
split applications and tank mixes. If additional weed control is needed, use a 
herbicide with a different mode of action than Amber. 
8. Do not apply Amber within 4 hours of an expected rainfall/irrigation event. 
Rainfall or irrigation soon after application may reduce foliar uptake by weeds, 
thereby reducing weed control.

9. Do not apply Amber to wheat or barley undersown with legumes or forage 
grasses, as injury to the undersown crops may occur. 
10. Do not apply Amber to irrigated land if the tail water will be used on nontarget 
land. 
11. Do not allow spray to drift to nontarget crops, other desirable plants, recreational 
areas, ornamental plants, or onto land scheduled to be planted with crops other 
than wheat or barley. 
12. Do not apply Amber to snow-covered soil or to frozen soil surfaces, since runoff 
may occur. 
13. Do not apply Amber where its movement through the soil or on soil particles may 
place it in contact with nontarget plants or their roots. 
14. Do not apply Amber under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be 
obtained. 
15. Do not apply Amber to stressed or dormant weeds, or when environmental 
conditions that stress weeds or cause weed dormancy are expected within one 
week after application. 
16. Do not mix with or apply sequentially with malathion. Tank mixture or sequential 
application with other registered organophosphate insecticides may cause 
temporary crop discoloration or crop injury. Delay Amber application for at least 
60 days after an in-furrow application of an organophosphate insecticide. 
17. Do not apply Amber through irrigation systems. 
CATASTROPHIC CROP LOSS 
Where a catastrophic crop loss has occurred after an Amber application due to a natural 
disaster (such as late killing frost, hail, flooding, insect or disease damage), wheat 
(except durum) may be replanted immediately and IR corn hybrids after 4 months. 
Additionally, after 4 months barley, durum wheat, oats, rye, or STS soybeans may be 
planted with the expectation that some level of discoloration, stunting, or other crop 
injury will occur. Any damage and yield loss that occurs must be accepted by the 
grower. Growers not willing to accept this potential injury and yield loss are required to 
follow standard rotational guidelines.

Ground Water Advisory 
Amber has been identified in ground water sampling from a field research study under 
vulnerable conditions. There is the possibility that Amber may leach through soil to 
ground water, especially where soils are coarse and ground water is near the surface. 
Consult with the pesticide state lead agency or local agricultural agencies for 
information regarding soil permeability and aquifer vulnerability in your area. 
Chemigation 
Do not apply Amber through irrigation systems.
