For terrestrial use: Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present,
or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark. Keep out of lakes, streams, or ponds.
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. This product
is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms,
including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of
non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how
to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
2.3.1 Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
2.3.2 Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially
true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as
having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after
application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this
product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will
reduce the potential loading of triasulfuron from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this
product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected
to occur within 48 hours.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Rave Herbicide is an herbicide for control of many broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, pasture,
rangeland, fallow, and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres. This product should be
applied postemergence; i.e., after emergence of the crop and weeds. Refer to Section 8.0
for a listing of weeds controlled. Rave Herbicide is a water-dispersible granule that must be
thoroughly mixed in water and applied as a spray.
3.1 Resistance Management
TRIASULFURON GROUP 2 HERBICIDE
DICAMBA GROUP 4 HERBICIDE
Rave Herbicide contains the active ingredients triasulfuron which inhibits the acetolactate
synthase (ALS) enzyme (Site of Action Group 2) and dicamba which interferes with the
plants growth hormones (auxins) (Site of Action Group 4). Some naturally occurring weed
populations have been identified as resistant to Group 2 and 4 herbicides. Selection of
resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides or lower than recommended use
rates in the same field, may result in weed control failures. A resistant biotype may be
present where poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse environmental conditions or
improper application methods. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Syngenta
representative and/or agricultural advisor for assistance.
Because Rave Herbicide is an herbicide with two modes of action, weed resistance is less
likely to be a problem than when products with a single mode of action are used. However, in
fields where ALS-resistant weed biotypes occur that are not controlled by dicamba products
such as Banvel® or Clarity®, a non-ALS inhibitor herbicide that is active on those weeds
must either be tank mixed with Rave Herbicide or used in place of Rave Herbicide.
3.1.1 Principles of Weed Resistance Management
Scout and know your field
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all weeds
present.
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and growth
stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing for the
weeds present in the field.
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control,
harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for control
of emerged weeds.
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to
leaving fields.
Difficult to control weeds
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow
the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management
practices.
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence herbicide
applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the
target weeds in sequential applications.
Do not overuse the technology
• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same
mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a
different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to control
weeds.
Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected
ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of
action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production.
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers or
stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed
management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
Applications with Rave Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground and by
air. Postemergence applications are allowed as specified in Section 9.0 unless otherwise
restricted in Section 7.0.
4.2 Application Equipment
x Configure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target
area and minimize potential for spray drift.
x To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use.
x For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment
manufacturers and/or state recommendations.
x All ground and aerial application equipment must be properly maintained.
x Use equipment that is capable of continuous and vigorous tank agitation.
x When the tank is full, the agitation system should be capable of creating a rippling or
rolling action on the liquid surface.
x Use a 16-mesh strainer at the tank outlet. At the nozzles, use the screen
recommended by the nozzle supplier.
x Refer to Section 4.3 for optimum nozzle coverage.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
x For ground application of 5-20 gal/A, use only conventional or low pressure flat fan
nozzles to assure adequate coverage. For application of more than 20 gal/A, raindrop
or flood-jet nozzles may be used.
x For ground application in dense stands of wheat or barley, use an adequate spray
volume to provide uniform coverage of weeds.
x For aerial application, use equipment that delivers a spray volume of 2-10 gal. Do not
apply under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained.

4.4.4 Tank-Mix Precautions
x It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitation and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. User must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statement of each product in the tank mixture.
x Tank mixes of Rave Herbicide with other pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives
not specifically labelled for use with Rave Herbicide may result in tank mix
incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance. In such cases, always check tank mix
compatibility by conducting a jar test according to guidance in Section 4.4.5 before
actual tank mixing.
4.4.5 Tank-Mix Compatibility
x Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt container with lid by adding water or other
intended carrier such a liquid fertilizer to the jar.
x Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticides(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their
relative proportions based on recommended label rates. Add tank-mix components
separately in the order described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.6. After each
addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
x After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar
10 times to mix.
x After mixing, let the mixture stand 1530 minutes and then examine for signs of
incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily
film on the jar.
x If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and
can be used.
x If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the
recommended rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to
the jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use
the mixture.
4.4.6 Rave Herbicide in Tank Mixtures
1. Fill the spray tank 25% full with clean water.
2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying.
3. Add Rave Herbicide.
4. Add dry formulations to tank.
5. Add liquid formulations to tank.
6. Fill remainder of spray tank.
4.4.7 Spray Additives
x A nonionic surfactant with a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as a spray
adjuvant must be added at 1-2 pt/100 gal of spray volume (0.125-0.25% volume per
volume) for all applications of Rave Herbicide when water is the carrier.
x Use 0.25% v/v nonionic surfactant when applying Rave Herbicide to dense weed
populations or under dry conditions.
x When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets
the standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA)
adjuvant certification program is recommended.
NOTE:
x The addition of nonionic surfactant to spray mixtures that are more than 50% fertilizer
can cause increased temporary leaf burn on the crop.
x The nonionic surfactant may be omitted from the spray solution if the carrier contains
more than 50% fertilizer.
x If the nonionic surfactant is omitted, control of some of the more difficult to control
weeds may be reduced under unfavorable conditions (i.e., larger weeds, dry
conditions, heavy infestations, etc.). For optimum control of those species, a 50%
fertilizer solution as a carrier should be used with an appropriate nonionic surfactant.
4.5 Sprayer Cleanout
Many crops are extremely sensitive to low rates of Rave Herbicide. Special attention must be
given to cleaning spray equipment before spraying a crop other than wheat or barley.
Mix only as much spray suspension as needed. Immediately after spraying, remove all
traces of Rave Herbicide from spraying equipment using this procedure:
1. Flush tank and hoses with clean water for 10 minutes.
2. Refill spray tank with water, and add 1 gal of household ammonia (containing 3% active
per 100 gal of water). Flush solution through hoses, boom, and nozzles; and let stand in tank
for 15 minutes with agitation before disposing, according to state and local regulations.
x A commercial tank cleaner may be used in place of the ammonia solution if it has
been proven effective for use with Rave Herbicide. Contact your Syngenta
representative or dealer for information about the suitability of specific tank cleaning
products before using them according to manufacturers directions.
3. Repeat step 2.
4. Repeat step 1.
5. Clean nozzles and screens separately. To remove traces of cleaning solution, flush the
nozzles and screens with clean water.
6. Flush boom and hoses with clean water for 5 minutes, just before using the sprayer for the
first time after application of Rave Herbicide.
5.0 REPLANT AND ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS

Precaution:
x To conduct a field bioassay as recommended in the above table, follow the instructions in
Section 6.1 for a cover crop, substituting the desired crop for the cover crop.
6.0 Cover Crops
A cover crop can be an important tool for the overall farm cropping system. Cover crops are
planted for conservation purposes, soil erosion control, soil health improvement, water quality
improvement and weed management. A cover crop can be a single crop or a combination of
crops, including grasses and/or broadleaf crops.
After harvest of a Rave Herbicide treated crop, planting of a cover crop is allowed provided
the cover crop is not grazed or fed to livestock nor harvested for food. Terminate the cover
crop through natural causes such as frost or intentional termination by herbicide application,
crimping, rolling, tillage or cutting.
All possible cover crops or cover crop combinations have not been tested for tolerance to this
product. Before planting the cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended
cover crops by conducting a field bioassay. Refer to Section 6.1 for instructions on how to
conduct a field bioassay.
6.1 Field Bioassay for Cover Crops
A field bioassay is a method of determining if herbicide residues are present in the soil at
concentrations high enough to adversely affect crop growth.
Conduct the field bioassay by planting several strips of the desired cover crop across the field
which has been previously treated with Rave Herbicide. Plant the cover crop strips
perpendicular to the direction of the product application. Locate the strips so that all the
different field conditions are encountered, including differences in field terrain, soil texture,
organic matter, pH, and drainage.
If the cover crop does not show adverse effects such as crop injury and/or stand reduction,
the field can be planted to this cover crop. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, wait
two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay.
Alternatively, select a different cover crop and repeat the bioassay. Only plant cover crops
that show acceptable tolerance in the field bioassay.
7.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
7.1 Use Restrictions
x DO NOT apply Rave Herbicide through irrigation systems.
x Use Rave Herbicide in the following states only: CO (except the San Luis Valley), ID,
KS, MN, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, and WY.
x DO NOT use Rave Herbicide in the San Luis Valley of CO.
x In WA, abide by all sulfonylurea aerial application rulings in effect by the Washington
Department of Agriculture.
x DO NOT apply Rave Herbicide to irrigated land if the tail water will be used on non-
target land. Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic
purposes.
x DO NOT allow spray drift to non-target crops, other desirable plants, recreational
areas, ornamental plants, or onto land scheduled to be planted with crops not on this
label.
x DO NOT apply Rave Herbicide where its movement through the soil or on soil particles
may place it in contact with non-target plants on their roots. Do not apply Rave
Herbicide to snow covered soil or to frozen soil surfaces, since runoff may occur.
x DO NOT use Rave Herbicide in fields where the combination of all three of the
following criteria occurs:
o Historic average annual rainfall (or the combination of historic annual rainfall
plus planned irrigation of the crop) exceeds 35 inches per year; and
o The groundwater table is 30 ft or less below the soil surface; and
o The soil is classified as a coarse soil (sand or loamy sand soil texture).
x This product may not be mixed, loaded, or used within 50 ft of all wells, including
abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sinkholes.
7.2 Use Precautions
x For optimum control, fall applications of Rave Herbicide must be made before the
emerged weeds are exposed to extended periods of freezing temperatures.
x Delay application of Rave Herbicide for at least 60 days after any in-furrow application
of an organophosphate insecticide.
x Prevent all direct and indirect contact with non-target plants.
x Avoid applying Rave Herbicide where wheat or barley is underseeded with legumes or
forage grasses, as injury to the undersown crop(s) may occur.
x Avoid applying Rave Herbicide to stressed or dormant weeds, or when environmental
conditions that stress weeds or cause weed dormancy are expected within one week
after application.
x Avoid applying near desirable vegetation, and allow adequate distance between target
area and desirable plants.
x Avoid applying Rave Herbicide within 4 hours of an expected rainfall or sprinkler
irrigation event. Rainfall or irrigation soon after application may reduce foliar uptake by
weeds, thereby reducing weed control.
7.3 Spray Drift Management
x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
x The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the
potential for spray drift.
x The applicator and grower must consider the interaction of equipment and weather-
related factors to ensure that the potential for drift to sensitive non-target plants is
minimal.
x This pesticide may only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive
areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, non-target plants) is minimal (i.e., when
the wind is blowing away from the sensitive area).
x Consult with local and State agricultural authorities for information regarding avoiding
or minimizing spray drift.
7.3.1 Ground Boom Applications
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland
application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4
feet above the ground.
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are
required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet
size (ASABE S572.1).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.3.2 Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy,
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are
required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet
size (ASABE S572.1).
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the
rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.4 Drift Reduction Advisory Information
7.4.1 Importance of Droplet Size
x An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets.
x Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control.
x While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental
conditions.
7.4.2 Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce
spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater
spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the
target spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application.
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
7.4.3 Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up
nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with
the airflow in flight.
7.4.4 Boom Height Ground Boom
x Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide
uniform coverage.
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
7.4.5 Release Height - Aircraft
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
x When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft
above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot
safety.
7.4.6 Shielded Sprayers
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift.
x Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the
uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
7.4.7 Temperature and Humidity
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce
effects of evaporation.
7.4.8 Temperature Inversions
x Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
x Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and
are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
x The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of
smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.
x 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.
x Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
7.4.9 Wind
x Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect
spray drift.
7.4.10 Windblown Soil Particles
x Rave Herbicide has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion.
x Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine
sand fractions and low organic matter content.
x Other factors which can affect the movement of windblown soil include the intensity
and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage
patterns.
x Avoid applying Rave Herbicide if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result
in off-site movement.

USE DIRECTIONS
x *Weeds suppressed or partially controlled. This is defined as significant activity but not always at a level
considered acceptable for commercial weed control
x Only use the 3 oz/A rate when weeds are at the low end of the indicated size range.
x For wild buckwheat, apply after true leaves have emerged, not cotyledon stage
x Use of Rave Herbicide at the 5 oz/A rate in pastures, rangeland, and CRP acres will provide first year
control and subsequent year suppression of hoary cress (whitetop) and poison hemlock
x Refer to Section 4.4.7 for nonionic surfactant information.
Precautions:
x Do not use Rave Herbicide in a tank mixture if wild oat is the primary target weed.
x Level of weed control is mostly dependent upon weed species, weed size at application, growing
conditions, and the level of competition from the crop.
x Weed control may be reduced if weeds are stressed due to drought, unusually cold temperatures, or
other factors, that reduce growth.
x Good crop competition can assist with weed control. Optimal control can be obtained for most weed
species when they are small (near the minimum size listed for each weed listed in the table above).
x Weeds larger than the size ranges listed may only be suppressed.
