|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is
|
||
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply where weather conditions favor drift from
|
||
areas treated. Do not contaminate water when cleaning of equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions
|
||
as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
|
||
table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory: Unuron may contaminate surface water through spray drift or, under certain conditions,
|
||
from surface runoff into adjacent surface water bodies (ponds, lakes, streams, etc.). For several weeks post-appli
|
||
cation, this product has a high potential to runoff when applied to fields with any of the following conditions: sloping
|
||
land draining into nearby surface waters; very poorly to somewhat poorly drained soils; areas with extremely shallow
|
||
ground water; frequently flooded areas; fields with surface water canals or ditches; and highly erodible land cultivated
|
||
with poor management practices.
|
||
USE INFORMATION
|
||
Unuron DF Herbicide is a dispersible granule to be mixed in water and applied as a spray for selective control of
|
||
weeds in certain crops and for non-selective weed control on non-cropland areas. It is non-corrosive to equipment,
|
||
non-flammable and non-volatile.
|
||
To control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time, apply this product to soil before weed emer
|
||
gence. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall
|
||
and other conditions. Higher dosages are needed for soils high in clay or organic matter. Soil low in clay or organic
|
||
matter will require lower dosages to obtain equivalent herbicide performance. Since moisture is needed to activate
|
||
this product, rainfall or irrigation is needed within 2 weeks of application. In the Columbia River Basin, use this
|
||
product only if the crop is sprinkler irrigated.
|
||
When using this product to control emerged weeds, best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing in tem
|
||
peratures of 70°F or higher with high humidity. Where recommended, addition of a surfactant to the spray increases
|
||
contact effects of this product.
|
||
It is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas as the effect of this product varies with soils, uniformity
|
||
of application and environmental conditions. Follow all label directions on this and any product used in mixtures.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product
|
||
in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be

|
||
in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible
|
||
for pesticide regulation.
|
||
RESISTANCE
|
||
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the
|
||
same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
|
||
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
|
||
Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be
|
||
necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
|
||
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide re
|
||
sistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as
|
||
using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a
|
||
different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
|
||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the
|
||
spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate
|
||
state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommen
|
||
dations available in your area.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cul
|
||
tural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field
|
||
scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population reach locally determined action
|
||
thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities
|
||
to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.
|
||
GRASSES AND BROADLEAF WEEDS CONTROLLED BY THIS PRODUCT
|
||
PREEMERGENCE USE (GERMINATING WEEDS)
|
||
This product at specified rates, controls annual weeds such as:
|
||
Broadleaved Weeds
|
||
Carpetweed Nettleleaf goosefoot
|
||
Chickweed Pigweed
|
||
Common dayflower Purslane (common)
|
||
Florida beggarweed Ragweed (common)

|
||
Galinsoga Smartweed (Pennsylvania)
|
||
Lambsquarters Wild radish
|
||
Mustard
|
||
Grasses
|
||
8arnyardgrass (watergrass) Fall panicum
|
||
Canarygrass Foxtails (including giant)
|
||
CrabQrasses Goosegrass
|
||
This product will provide partial control of the following:
|
||
Partial Control
|
||
Annual morningglory Sickle pod
|
||
Cocklebur (common) Velvetleaf (buttonweed)
|
||
Eastern black nightshade Waterhemp
|
||
Prickly sida (teaweed)
|
||
The lower dosage rates are effective on coarser soils and the higher rates on finer soils and on the more resistant
|
||
seedling weeds. Sufficient moisture (one-half to 1 inch on moist soils; 1 to 2 inches on dry soils) in the form of rainfall
|
||
or sprinkler irrigation is necessary after treatment to carry the chemical into the root zone of germinating weeds;
|
||
best results are obtained when this occurs within two weeks after application. If heavy rainfall occurs soon after ap
|
||
plication, injury to crop may result.
|
||
This product applied pre-emergence, before emergence of Asparagus, Carrots, Corn (field), Parsnips, Potatoes,
|
||
Soybeans and weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable
|
||
seedling stage before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, this product continues to con
|
||
trol weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through
|
||
the pre-emergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented.
|
||
These include cultivation and post-emergence herbicide application.
|
||
A good seed bed must be prepared before application of this product as crop injury may result if application is made
|

co (
|
||
to ground which is cloddy or compacted resulting in improperly planted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. Surface
|
||
of the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of this product and before emergence of the crop
|
||
as weed control may be reduced and crop injury may result. However, if moisture is insufficient to activate the her
|
||
bicide, a shallow cultivation (rotary hoe preferred) should be made after emergence of row crops while weeds are
|
||
small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. Deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of this product.
|
||
POST-EMERGENCE USE (Emerged Seedling Weeds): This product, at specified rates, controls weeds such as:
|
||
Broadleaved Weeds
|
||
Annual morning glory Lambsquarters
|
||
Carpetweed Mustard
|
||

|
||
Common dayflower Prickly sida (teaweed)
|
||
Common ragweed Purslane (common)
|
||
Dog fennel Sesbania
|
||

|
||
Results of post-emergence treatment of emerged weeds vary with rate applied and environmental conditions. Best
|
||
results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or
|
||
higher. Addition of a surfactant such as Surf-Ac® 820 to the spray (where recommended), increases contact effects
|
||
of this product. Application will also provide control of emerging susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period
|
||
of time
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170.
|
||
This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, green
|
||
houses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification
|
||
and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on
|
||
this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this
|
||
box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval of 24 hours.
|
||
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
|
||
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves
|
||
made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
|
||
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection
|
||
Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce
|
||
agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Non-crop weed control is not within the scope of
|
||
the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow unprotected persons to enter treated areas until the sprays
|
||
have dried.
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: This product must be used only in accordance with this label. Injury to or loss of
|
||
desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
• Do not apply by air.
|
||
• Do not apply to sand or loamy sand.
|
||
• Do not use on soils with less than 1 % organic matter.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION: Use a fixed-boom power sprayer calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery.
|
||
Openings in screen should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Continuous agitation in the spray tank is necessary
|
||
to keep the material in suspension. Agitation can be by hydraulic or mechanical means. If a by-pass or return line is
|
||
used, it should terminate at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Avoid overlapping of spray swaths and shut
|
||
off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping or crop injury may result.
|
||
LlNURON OF Page 4 of 12
|
||
|
||
( C
|
||
For pre-emergence application, use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. For post-emergence application,
|
||
use sufficient volume of water (minimum of 25 gallons per acre) for thorough coverage of weed foliage. Always apply
|
||
in a manner and under conditions favorable to avoid spray drift.
|
||
CLEANING: Equipment should be cleaned of all traces of this product immediately after use. Nozzle tips and screens
|
||
should be removed and cleaned separately. Flush tank, pump, hoses and boom with several changes of water.
|
||
Equipment should not be flushed or drained, or this product applied near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas
|
||
where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their
|
||
roots. This product should not be used on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants, lawns, walks,
|
||
driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Keep drift of dry powder or spray from desirable plants.
|
||
SPRAY PREPARATION: The tank should be one-quarter full with clean water. Start agitation system, add this prod
|
||
uct and continue adding water. Each component of any tank mix should be added separately while adding water.
|
||
Surfactant, if used, should be added last when the tank is nearly full. Agitation should continue throughout. If poor
|
||
mixing should occur with any component, premix the component with two parts water before adding to the spray
|
||
tank.
|
||
RATES: All rates are expressed as broadcast rates. For band treatment, use proportionately less. For example, use
|
||
one-third of the broadcast rate when treating a 14 inch band where row spacing is 42 inches. Where a range of
|
||
dosages is given, use the lower rate on coarser soils (low in clay or organic matter) and the higher rate on finer soils
|
||
(high in clay or organic matter). For post-emergence application, use the lower rate on smaller weeds and the higher
|
||
rate on larger weeds. See crop sections for rates for specific crops.
|
||
REPLANTING: If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, any crop registered for the rate of this product that was ap
|
||
plied may be replanted immediately. Thoroughly rework soil before replanting. Do not retreat field with second ap
|
||
plication as injury to the crop may result.
|
||
CROP ROTATION DIRECTIONS:
|
||
East of the Rocky Mountains
|
||
• Any crop registered for the rate of linuron that was applied may be replanted immediately.
|
||
• Any crop may be planted after 4 months, except for cereals, where only barley, oats, rye, and wheat may be
|
||
planted.
|
||
• Cereal crops not listed above may be planted after 12 months.
|
||
West of the Rocky Mountains
|
||
• Any crop registered for the rate of linuron that was applied may be replanted immediately.
|
||
• Do not plant any other crop until 12 months after the last application of this product as crop injury may result.
|
||
FERTILIZER SPRAY MIXTURES: For pre-emergence application, non-pressure nitrogen or fertilizer solution may
|
||
be used in the spray mixture unless otherwise directed. Small quantities should be tested for compatibility by the
|
||
following procedure before full scale mixing.
|
||
1. Measure one pint of intended spray water or fertilizer solution into a jar.
|
||
2. Add in the order given the intended ingredients, shaking after each addition.
|
||
(a)Surfactants (spreaders), acidifiers, compatibility agents and activators: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gal-
|
||
lons.
|
||
(b) Dry ingredients (wettable powders, dry flowables): add 1 tablespoon for each pound/100 gallons.
|
||
(c) Flowables: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gallons.
|
||
(d) Soluble ingredients: add 1 tablespoon for each pound/100 gallons.
|
||
(e)Spreaders/stickers: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gallons.
|
||
3. The final mixture should be uniform and smooth with no evidence of coagulation occurring. If incompatibility is
|
||
evident, begin test again with a compatibility agent added first. Six drops is equivalent to 4 ounces per 100 gallons,
|
||
If this does not smooth the mixture, try higher concentrations and other compatibility agents.
|
||
4. Allow the mixture to stand undisturbed thirty minutes. If separation occurs, shake and observe the resulting mix
|
||
ture. If mixture is smooth, proceed with spraying, provided the tank has good agitation. If mixture is not smooth,
|
||
do not spray. You may try:
|
||
(a) more compatibility agents.
|
||
(b) different formulations of the active ingredients (switch from WP or EC to flowable or from WP to EC).
|
||
(c) change active ingredients; some combinations will not tank mix.
|
||

|
||
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, backflow
|
||
preventer (RPZ) 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 the reservoir tank prior
|

DIRECT SEEDED OR NEWLY PLANTED CROWNS
|
||
Pre-emergence Application: Make a single application of 2 to 4 pounds per acre after planting seed one-half inch
|
||
deep in coarse soil and 1 inch deep in fine soils. During planting operation, spray activated charcoal as a 1 inch
|
||
band on soil surface directly over seed rows at the rate of 300 pounds per acre (equivalent to 15 pounds per acre
|
||
of crop with 20 inch row spacing). Pre-emergence weed control will be reduced in soils with high organic matter
|
||
(greater than 5% and peat or muck).
|
||
Post-emergence Application: Make 1 or 2 applications of 1 to 2 pounds per acre when ferns are in 6 inches to 18
|
||
inches stage and weeds are not over 4 inches tall.
|
||
ESTABLISHED BEDS
|
||
Pre-emergence Application: Make a single application of 2 to 4 pounds per acre. Pre-emergence weed control

||
CARROTS
|
||
Because Carrot varieties vary in their resistance, determine tolerance to this product prior to adoption as a field
|
||
practice to prevent possible crop injury.
|
||
• Do not exceed 4 pounds of this product per acre per year East of Rocky Mountains.
|
||
• Do not exceed 3 pounds of this product per acre per year West of Rocky Mountains.
|
||
• Do not apply within 14 days of harvest.
|
||
Pre-emergence Application-California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
|
||
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin only
|
||
Make a single application of 1 to 2 pounds per acre in California, Florida, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon and
|
||
Washington, and 1 to 3 pounds per acre in Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, and Wisconsin, after planting but
|
||
prior to Carrots emergence. Plant seed at least one-half inch deep. Use the lower rate on lighter soils and higher
|
||
rate on heavier soils. Subsequent post-emergence application may be made provided the total does not exceed the
|
||
seasonal maximum for the geography.
|
||
Post-emergence Application-Entire U.S.:
|
||
Apply 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre as a broadcast spray.
|
||
Applications to Carrots that are less than 3 inches tall may result in crop injury; grower and/or applicator assumes
|
||
all crop injury risk if applications are made to Carrots less than 3 inches tall. Repeat application may be made as
|
||
long as the total use does not exceed the seasonal maximum of this product for the geography.
|
||
Post-emergence Application-Alternate Treatment for New York: For control of emerged broadleaf weeds early
|
||
in the development of the Carrot crop, apply 0.25 pound per acre to Carrots having at least one fully developed true
|
||
leaf and 0.5 pound per acre to Carrots having three or more leaves. A single application applied prior to the 5-leaf
|
||
stage of Carrots may not provide adequate season-long control. Multiple applications at 1- and 3-, and 2- and 4-, or
|
||
3- and 5-leaf stages will significantly improve weed control. Early crop injury can occur; however the effect should
|
||
be transitory, with no yield losses attributable to crop injury. At normal rate, Carrots must be at least 3 inches tall at
|
||
the time of application. Failure to control weeds before this stage of development will result in significant yield losses
|
||
due to weed competition.

NONCROP WEED CONTROL
|
||
Apply 2 to 6 pounds of this product per acre in 40 to 100 gallons of water for short term control of annual weeds on
|
||
noncropland areas such as roadsides and fence rows. Apply shortly before weed growth begins or at early seedling
|
||
stage of growth for best results. Add 2 quarts of Surf-Ac 820 per 100 gallons of spray mixture for control of established
|
||
weeds. Apply as a thorough coverage spray during periods when daily temperatures exceed 70°F and before weed
|
||
growth exceeds 8 inches in height.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator
|
||
is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
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. The presence of sensitive
|
||
species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control
|
||
and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT
|
||
IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS!

Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
|
||
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
|
||
produce larger droplets.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size
|
||
and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CA
|
||
PACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will pro
|
||
duce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented stright back produce

|
||
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed three-fourth of the wing or rotor length - longer booms in-
|
||
crease drift potential.
|
||
• Application Height - Application more than 10ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Boom Height
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure
|
||
of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
|
||
minimal bounce.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) of more than 10 mph. However,
|
||
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
|
||
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how
|
||
they affect spray drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects
|
||
of evaporation.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift ponentiaL is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes
|
||
small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.
|
||
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with
|
||
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.
|
||
Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by
|
||
the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally
|
||
in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicated an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and
|
||
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
Shielded Sprayers
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the ap
|
||
plicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
