PRODUCT INFORMATION 
Charger Max is a combination of S-metolachlor plus the corn safener benoxacor. Charger Max is 
recommended for management of the weed species listed in Weeds Controlled by Charger Max 
Applied Prior to Weed Emergence table. 
Charger Max is a selective herbicide that can be applied for control of most annual grasses and 
certain broadleaf weeds in corn (all types); cotton; grasses grown for seed; horseradish; legume 
vegetables; peanuts; potatoes; pumpkin; rhubarb; safflowers; sorghum (forage, grain and sweet); 
soybean; sugar beets; sugarcane; sunflowers; and tomatoes. 
 
Charger Max is taken up by the shoots and/or roots of emerging weeds. This uptake results in the 
inhibition of shoot and root tissue growth soon after weed germination. Because of this, Charger Max 
will not control emerged weeds. Control weeds that are present by another means, e.g., mechanical 
means or by another herbicide.

Weed Resistance Management 
S-METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE 
 
S-metolachlor, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 15 herbicide based on the mode of 
action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population may 
contain plants naturally resistant to Group 15 herbicides. Such resistant weed plants may not be 
effectively managed using Group 15 herbicides but may be effectively managed utilizing another 
herbicide alone or in mixtures from a different group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices. 
However, an herbicide mode of action classification by itself may not adequately address specific 
weeds that are resistant to specific herbicides. Consult your local company representative, state 
cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities to determine 
appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weeds. 
Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed 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 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 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:

Charger Max 
Page 6 
 
o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose 
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; 
o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and 
o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. 
 
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 postharvest to prevent seed production. 
Resistant Weeds 
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC 
representative for pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management 
recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. For further information or to 
report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative.

Mixing Directions 
1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning solution 
in a responsible manner. 
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. 
3. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use. 
4. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. 
5. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously 
treated area. 
 
Charger Max Alone 
1. Fill the spray tank ½-¾ full with water or fluid fertilizer. 
2. Add the proper amount of Charger Max. 
3. Add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. 
4. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform 
emulsion. 
 
Tank-Mix Precautions 
• Charger Max may be applied in tank mix combinations with other products provided 
these other products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to 
be treated. No label dosage rates can be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with 
any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Refer to specific crop 
sections for rates and other restrictions.
 
• It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the 
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for 
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. User must follow the most restrictive 
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. 
• For tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, use screens and 
strainers no finer than 50-mesh. 
• Test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture prior to mixing the products in the 
spray tank (refer to Tank-Mix Compatibility section). 
NOTE: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water 
in the spray for applications prior to crop emergence. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even 
within the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. 
Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer and 
pesticides. 
 
Tank-Mix Compatibility 
• Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt container with lid by adding water or other 
intended carrier such as a liquid fertilizer to the jar. 
• 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 Charger Max in Tank Mixtures section. After each 
addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. 
• After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10 
times to mix. 
• After mixing, let the mixture stand 15–30 minutes and then examine for signs of 
incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily 
film on the jar. 
• If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and 
can be used. 
• 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

Charger Max 
Page 8 
 
the jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use 
the mixture. 
• After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance 
with the Storage and Disposal section of this label. 
Charger Max In Tank Mixtures 
1. Fill the spray tank ¼ full with water and start the agitation. 
2. Check the tank mix partner label for any specific instructions pertaining to the tank-mix 
partner. 
3. Add the tank mix partner and allow it to become dispersed. 
4. Add Charger Max. 
5. Add glyphosate or paraquat product if one is being used. 
6. Add the remainder of the water and maintain agitation during mixing and application to 
maintain a uniform suspension. 
7. Fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as carrier for applications prior to 
crop emergence unless otherwise specified. 
 
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers 
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with Charger Max alone or selected 
Charger Max tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant surface 
applications which are used to control weeds in crops on the Charger Max label and are not prohibited 
from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
 
When applying Charger Max or Charger Max mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all 
directions for use, restrictions, and precautions on the respective product labels, regarding target 
crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including timing of application), and rotational 
crops. 
 
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and 
application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the herbicide/fertilizer 
mixture. 
Preparation of Herbicide/Fertilizer Mixtures 
• Use any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. 
• Place the nozzles used to spray Charger Max and Charger Max mixtures onto the fertilizer 
in such a way as to provide uniform spray coverage. 
• Use care to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying the walls of 
the blender. 
• If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material or similar 
granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture. 
• Add absorptive materials only after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the 
fertilizer mixture. 
• Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a size 
similar to that of the fertilizer material being used. 
• Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be needed. 
• Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight. 
• Calculate amounts of Charger Max by the following formula:

Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application 
• High humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may 
cause fertilizer mixture to build up or plug the distributor head, air tubes, or nozzle deflector 
plates. 
• To minimize buildup, premix Charger Max with aromatic 200 at a rate of 1.0-4.0 pt/gal of 
Charger Max. 
• Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. 
• Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct injection systems. 
• Avoid drying agents when using aromatic 200. 
 
 Precautions 
• Use mixtures of Charger Max and aromatic 200 on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop 
injury may result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying 
applications. 
o When impregnating Charger Max in a blender before application, a drier mixture can 
be attained by substituting a drying agent for aromatic 200. 
o Drying agents of 6/30 particle size will provide best results. 
• When possible, avoid drying agents when using on-board impregnation equipment. 
• TO AVOID POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION: 
o Do not impregnate Charger Max or Charger Max mixtures on ammonium nitrate, 
potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. 
o Do not use Charger Max or Charger Max mixtures on straight limestone since 
absorption will not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be 
impregnated. 
 
Application Instructions 
• Apply 200-700 lbs of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. 
• For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment 
immediately after blending. 
• Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop 
injury. 
• Non-uniform application may also result in unsatisfactory weed control. In areas where 
conventional tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mixture into the soil may 
improve weed control. 
• On fine- or medium textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced 
tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30 
days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. 
• On coarse textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. 
• Precaution: To avoid crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where 
bedding occurs. 
 
Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) 
 Chemigation Restrictions 
• ONLY APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH CENTER-PIVOT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. 
• If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension specialists, 
equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 
• Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide 
application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices 
for public water systems are in place. 
• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or 
under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make 
necessary adjustments when needed.

 Operating Instructions for Chemigation 
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure 
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination 
from backflow. 
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-
operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the 
system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the 
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the 
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop 
the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide 
distribution is adversely affected. 
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., 
diaphragm pump or piston pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that 
are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
 
 Specific Instructions For Public Water Systems 
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for 
human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves 
an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, 
reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), back-flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water 
supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the 
water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to 
pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the 
outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice 
the inside diameter of the fill pipe. 
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check 
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-
operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the 
system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the 
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the 
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no 
water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is 
adversely affected. 
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., 
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible 
with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
 
 Application Directions For Irrigation Systems 
1. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide(s) and inject this 
mixture into the center pivot system. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per 
hour will usually provide more accurate calibration of equipment. 
2. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide in suspension.

Charger Max 
Page 11 
 
3. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 
4. Apply in ½-1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (½ inch) on coarser soils and the 
higher volume (1 inch) on fine textured soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may 
reduce weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil. 
 
 Center Pivot Irrigation Application 
• Charger Max alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides on this label, which are 
registered for center pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water preemergence 
(after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge) at rates listed on this label. 
• Charger Max also may be applied postemergence to the crop and preemergence to weeds 
in crops where postemergence applications are allowed on this label. 
• Follow all restrictions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. 
• Apply this product only through a center pivot irrigation system. 
• Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from 
non-uniform distribution of treated water. 
 
Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control 
may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result. 
 
Sprayer Cleanout 
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. Dispose of cleaning solution in a 
responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, or 
crop damage or clogging of the application device may result. 
 
REPLANT AND ROTATIONAL CROPS 
• If a crop treated with Charger Max is lost, any crop on this label, or on a supplemental Charger 
Max label, may be replanted or rotated at any interval provided that the rate of Charger Max 
applied to the previous crop was not greater than the labeled rate for the crop to be replanted. 
• Charger Max may be applied again following crop replanting provided the total annual maximum 
rate for that crop is not exceeded. 
 
The crops listed in the table below and in the section titled Additional Rotational Crop Options may 
be planted at the specified interval following application of Charger Max.

Precaution: 
• Refer to Limited Water or Irrigation Conditions for rotational crop instructions when water or irrigation is 
limited 
ADDITIONAL ROTATIONAL CROP USE RESTRICTIONS 
1. DO NOT make a second application of an S-metolachlor-containing product to these rotational crops within 
60 days of the original application. 
2. If the rate of Charger Max applied in the previous crop was greater than the rate listed in the table, these 
crops cannot be planted until the following spring. 
 
Limited Water or Irrigation Conditions 
When planting rotational crops, special attention must be given to the amount of rainfall and type of 
irrigation used. Rotational crops listed on this label are safe for planting after a Charger Max 
application provided the rotational interval is followed and the preceding crop received natural rainfall 
or overhead irrigation. 
When non-overhead watering methods (e.g. drip tape, furrow irrigation, etc.) are used, the areas of 
the field not receiving water (e.g. furrows when drip irrigated or bed tops when furrow irrigated) will 
have a higher Charger Max residue remaining in the soil resulting in a significant increase in the 
rotational crop injury risk. 
To reduce the risk of rotational crop injury, thoroughly incorporate the Charger Max treated field to a 
depth of 3-4 inches before planting the rotational crop. For more thorough incorporation, till the soil in 
2 different directions (cross-till). Even with thorough tillage, injury to rotational crops is still possible 
following non-overhead watering methods or limited moisture conditions. 
 
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 Charger Max 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

Charger Max 
Page 14 
 
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 below for instructions on how to conduct a field 
bioassay. 
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 Charger Max. Plant the cover crop strips perpendicular to the 
direction of the product application. The strips should be located 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. 
 
RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ALL USE SITES 
See crop-specific Precautions and Restrictions sections for more information. 
Restrictions 
• DO NOT sell, use or distribute this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in the State of New 
York. 
• DO NOT use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. 
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system except center pivot system 
 
Precautions 
• Avoid application under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this 
product to non-target areas. 
• To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: 
o Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind 
erosion. Under these conditions, settle the soil surface first by rainfall or irrigation. 
o Avoid application to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. 
o Avoid use of tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-
target crops, unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the 
first irrigation. 
• Use of a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, may result in crop 
damage or clogging of the application device. 
• Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result. 
• To avoid spray drift, avoid making applications under windy conditions. See the “Spray Drift 
Management” section of this label for spray drift restrictions and advisories. 
• Injury may occur following the use of Charger Max under abnormally high soil moisture 
conditions during early development of the crop. 
• Dry weather following application of Charger Max may reduce weed control. Cultivate if weeds 
develop.

Charger Max 
Page 15 
 
• To avoid crop injury, avoid the use of an herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where bedding 
occurs. 
• Avoid application to humans or animals. Flaggers and loaders must avoid inhalation of spray 
mist and prolonged contact with skin. 
 
 Spray Drift Management 
Mandatory Spray Drift Management 
Aerial Applications: 
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, 
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
droplets (ASABE S641). 
• If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement 
upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is between 11-15 miles per 
hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is 
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing 
aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length 
must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor 
diameter for helicopters. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Ground Boom Applications: 
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no 
more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
droplets (ASABE S572). 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications: 
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser 
droplet size (ASABE S572) for all applications. 
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
Spray Drift Advisories 
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF 
NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. 
Importance of Droplet Size 
• An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. 
• Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. 
• 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. 
 
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom 
• 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. 
• Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the 
target spray volume and droplet size.

Charger Max 
Page 16 
 
• Spray nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider 
using nozzles designed to reduce drift. 
 
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft 
• 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. 
 
Release Height – Aircraft 
• Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. 
 
Boom Height – Ground Boom 
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 
 
Boomless Ground Applications 
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. 
 
Shielded Sprayers 
• Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded 
sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on 
the target area. 
 
Temperature and Humidity 
• When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger 
droplets to compensate for evaporation. 
 
Temperature Inversions 
• Drift potential is high during a temperature Inversion. 
• 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. 
• 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. 
• 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. 
• Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
 
Wind 
• Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. 
• AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. 
• Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. 
 
Windblown Soil Particles 
• Charger Max has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. 
• 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. 
• 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. 
• Avoid applying Charger Max if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site 
movement.

Charger Max 
Page 17 
 
 
Sensitive Areas 
• 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). 
• To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants, apply 
Charger Max by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft from sensitive plants. 
 
WEEDS CONTROLLED BY CHARGER MAX APPLIED PRIOR TO 
WEED EMERGENCE 
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control 
from good to poor, or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for 
commercial weed control. Control of these weeds can be erratic, due partially to variable weather 
conditions.

Procedures that might improve control of weeds listed above: 
• Thoroughly till soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds prior to preemergence or preplant 
applications. 
• If Charger Max is to be used preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting. 
• If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply ½-1 inch of water. Use lower water 
volume (½ inch) on coarse textured soils and higher volume (1 inch) on fine textured soils. 
• If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days after planting and application, weed 
control may be decreased. Under these conditions, make a uniform, shallow cultivation as soon as 
weeds emerge or apply an appropriately labeled herbicide to control emerged weeds.

Apply before, during or after planting, but before corn 
emerges. 
 
Apply the solo glyphosate in water or fluid fertilizer 
with ground equipment. 
 
Paraquat will not control weeds taller than 6 inches. 
 
Apply atrazine tank mixture before weeds exceed 3 
inches in height. 
 
Add non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 1.0-2.0 qt/100 gal of 
diluted spray, or another appropriate surfactant at its 
labeled rate, or add crop oil concentrate plus 28% 
liquid nitrogen (or equivalent).

alone. 
 
Use the isoxaflutole mixture on field corn only. 
Postemergence 
 
Atrazine 
Dicamba 
Diflufenzopyr 
 
Apply before grass and broadleaf weeds pass the 2-
leaf state and before corn exceeds 12 inches in 
height. Application to weeds larger than the 2-leaf 
stage will generally result in unsatisfactory control. 
 
Occasionally, some corn leaf burn may result, but this 
will likely not affect later growth or yield. 
 
Do not apply the postemergence tank mixes in fluid 
fertilizer, or severe crop injury may occur.

weeds on the Charger Max label. 
 
Application may be made from corn emergence until 
30 inches tall or the V8 stage (8 leaves with collars), 
whichever comes first. 
 
Refer to the solo Charger Max label and the 
glyphosate label for rates recommended for weed 
populations and soil texture. 
 
Apply only to corn that is resistant to glyphosate. 
Precautions: 
• Charger Max in any tank mixture for corn may be applied in water or fluid fertilizer before corn 
emerges. After corn emergence, use only water as a carrier when Charger Max is applied. 
• Do not apply combinations containing paraquat in suspension-type liquid fertilizers, because the 
activity of paraquat will be reduced.

applications. Experiment on a limited basis until on-farm confidence in these use patterns and rates are 
obtained. 
• On English peas, spring preemergence or pre-plant applications where soils are cold and wet during pea 
germination and emergence, the use of Charger Max may delay maturity and/or reduce yields. 
• Charger Max will not control emerged weeds. Control emerged weeds with an appropriate registered 
postemergence herbicide(s) or by mechanical means. 
• The risk of crop injury is greater on lighter textured soils and with higher use rates, especially when 
coupled with heavy rains or when excessive multiple irrigations occur within 5 days of application. 
• Postemergence or postemergence-chemigation applications to wet plants or when conditions are 
extremely hot or humid may result in increased risk of crop injury. 
• Postemergence or postemergence-chemigation applications should only be applied in a water-carrier. 
The addition of fertilizers, adjuvants or other postemergence herbicides will increase the risk of crop 
injury.

Charger Max 
Page 49 
 
• Charger Max may damage transplants that have been weakened by any cause. To prevent damage, 
plant only healthy transplants and avoid planting when wet, cool, or unfavorable growing conditions 
exist. 
• In transplanted tomatoes, if Charger Max is applied preplant incorporated, incorporate to a depth less 
than the depth of transplanting, and use the lower end of the rate range for the given soil type, or 
damage may occur. 
• For row middle applications where tomatoes are grown on sandy soils and where high soil moisture 
conditions can exist (e.g., low binding and high evaporation conditions), as may be found in the States 
of Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and Virginia, there is potential for crop injury in the form of leaf 
epinasty. The risk of this type of injury can be reduced by: a) incorporating the Charger Max 
immediately following application, b) applying the Charger Max seven or more days before 
transplanting (but only after the beds have been formed), c) minimizing the application of Charger 
Max onto the plastic of the bed, or d) any combination of the above. 
• Charger Max will not control emerged weeds. Control emerged weeds with an appropriate registered 
foliar herbicide or by mechanical means.

Preplant 
Incorporated 
For all applications use the 
rate for the specific soil 
texture and organic matter 
(OM) as follows: 
 
Coarse Soils: 
 1.0-1.33 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.33 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
 
Medium Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A 
 
Fine Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.67-2.0 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
Apply to the soil and incorporate in the top 2 inches 
within 14 days before planting using an implement 
capable of providing uniform incorporation. 
 
Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow 
irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after 
application is expected. 
 
If a crop will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate 
after bed formation, unless specified otherwise. 
 
[For California Only for Beans, Peas and Lentils: 
For preplant incorporation, broadcast alone or with tank 
mix partners to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with 
a disk or similar implement set to till 4-6 inches deep. 
For more thorough incorporation, till the soil in 2 different 
directions (cross-till). Crops may be planted on flat 
surface or on beds.] 
 
Use caution when forming the beds to ensure that only 
soil from the treated zone is used (i.e., do not bring 
untreated soil to soil surface). If application is made to 
preformed beds, incorporate with a tillage implement set 
to till 2-4 inches deep. Use care during tilling to keep 
the treated, tilled soil on the beds. 
Preemergence For all applications use the 
rate for the specific soil 
texture and organic matter 
(OM) as follows: 
 
Coarse Soils: 
 1.0-1.33 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.33 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
 
Medium Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A 
 
Fine Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.67-2.0 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
Make preemergence applications after planting, but 
before crop emerges. 
 
[For California Only for Beans, Peas and Lentils: 
Apply after planting. Water with sprinkler or flood 
irrigation within 7-10 days.] 
Postemergence 
and/or 
Chemigation 
(Center Pivot 
Only) 
For all applications use the 
rate for the specific soil 
texture and organic matter 
(OM) as follows: 
 
Coarse Soils: 
 1.0-1.33 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.33 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
 
Medium Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A 
 
Fine Soils: 
 1.33-1.67 pt/A; <3% OM 
 1.67-2.0 pt/A; ≥ 3% OM 
Apply Charger Max postemergence or chemigation only 
after the first trifoliate stage of plant growth. 
 
Application to plants with less than one trifoliate can 
result in unacceptable crop injury. 
 
When applied broadcast over-the-top, crop injury in the 
form of leaf spotting and speckling may be observed, 
especially with rates greater than 1 pt/A. 
 
DO NOT graze or harvest forage or hay following 
postemergence applications. 
 
Refer to Application through Irrigation Systems 
(Chemigation) for restrictions and directions. 
For Weed Control: 
• Refer to Weeds Controlled by Charger Max Applied Prior to Weed Emergence table. 
Tank Mix Application Options:

Charger Max 
Page 55 
 
• Refer to Tank-Mix Combinations for Legume Vegetables section for preplant incorporated tank-mix 
options. 
Resistance Management: 
• Refer to Weed Resistance Management section. 
Precautions: 
• All cultivars have not been tested for tolerance, especially postemergence or postemergence chemigation 
applications. Experiment on a limited basis until on-farm confidence in these use patterns and rates are 
obtained. 
• On English peas, spring preemergence or pre-plant applications where soils are cold and wet during pea 
germination and emergence, the use of Charger Max may delay maturity and/or reduce yields. 
• Charger Max will not control emerged weeds. Control emerged weeds with an appropriate registered 
postemergence herbicide(s) or by mechanical means. 
• The risk of crop injury is greater on lighter textured soils and with higher use rates, especially when 
coupled with heavy rains or when excessive multiple irrigations occur within 5 days of application. 
• Postemergence or postemergence-chemigation applications to wet plants or when conditions are 
extremely hot or humid may result in increased risk of crop injury. 
• Postemergence or postemergence-chemigation applications should only be applied in a water-carrier. 
The addition of fertilizers, adjuvants or other postemergence herbicides will increase the risk of crop 
injury.
