listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the
toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean
clothing. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated area.
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 contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Do not apply
when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
Reporting Ecological Incidents:
To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 1-901-774-4370.
GROUND WATER ADVISORY
Metolachlor is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use.
This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable particularly where the
water table is shallow. Fomesafen is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as
a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable
particularly where the water table is shallow.
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 groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for
reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks or months 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 metolachlor
and fomesafen from runoff water
and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall or irrigation is
expected to occur within 48 hours.
For more information, see the United States Department of Agriculture National Resource Conservational
Services manual, “Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.”

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
FOMESAFEN GROUP 14 HERBICIDE
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
For resistance management, this product is a Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action herbicides. Any weed population
may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same
field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 14 and Group 15 modes of action herbicides within a growing season
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
x Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in
target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s)
equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you
are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (
e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds),
biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of
possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a
mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning
harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and
switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901)
774-4370.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
UP-FRONT is a selective herbicide for the control or partial control of labeled grass, broadleaf and sedge
weeds in Cotton and Soybeans. Metolachlor and Fomesafen herbicides may be applied as a pre-plant surface,
pre-plant incorporated, pre-emergence or post-emergence treatment.
This product is a mixture of the active ingredients, Metolachlor and Fomesafen. Metolachlor is a biosynthesis
inhibitor (Group 15 mode of action) preventing cell division in emerging weeds. Fomesafen is a
protoporphyrmogen oxidase inhibitor (Group 14 mode of action) leading to cellular membrane disruption and
plant death.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not prepare more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean the spray
equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray
mixture. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand
overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to
a previously treated area.
APPLICATION IN WATER OR FLUID FERTILIZERS
THIS PRODUCT ALONE:
Add one-third of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator
running, add this product into the spray tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water or
fluid fertilizer. Begin application of the spray solution after this product has completely dispersed in the water
or fluid fertilizer. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
5
TANK MIXTURES*:
Add one-third of the required amount of water or fluid fertilizer to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before
adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged
in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquid such
as this product and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed
before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain
agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Note: (1) When using this product in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added
to the tank and mixed with plain water before any other tank mix partner, including this product. Allow the
water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any
other tank mix partner to the tank. (2) Water-soluble packets will not properly dissolve in most spray solutions
that contain fluid fertilizers.
*If using this product in a tank mixture, observe the most restrictive of all directions for use, crop/sites, use
rates, dilution ratios, precautions and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label. Do not exceed
labeled dosage rates for any product and follow the most restrictive label precauti ons and limitations of all
products mixed. This product is compatible with most common tank mix partners. However, the physical
compatibility of this product with tank mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical
compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test, as described below.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered
for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Note: Do not use nitrogen solutions or fluid fertilizers as a complete or partial spray carrier when applying this
product as a post-emergence application to Soybeans as these combinations may cause crop injury.
COMPATIBILITY TEST:
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product with other pesticides. The
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate
changes in the ingredients.
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray for pre-
plant surface, pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence applications only. 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.
Test Procedure:
1. Add 1 pint of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.Note: Use the same source
of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the tank mix will be
applied
2. To one of the jars, add one-fourth teaspoonful or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use
(1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts./100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on specified
label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry pesticides first, flowables next
and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures
stand 15 to 30 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the
jar or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by
comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed
as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving
compatibility: (a) Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition or (b) add one-half of the compatibility
agent to the fertilizer or water and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide
before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the “STORAGE
AND DISPOSAL” section in this label.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
6
ACTIVATION
A small amount of soil moisture is required to activate this product following application. In areas of low rainfall,
a pre-emergence application to dry soil should be followed with light irrigation of 0.25 to 0.5 inch of water. As
with many surface-applied herbicides, weed control and crop tolerance may vary with rainfall and/or soil
texture. If rainfall or irrigation within 7 to 10 days does not occur, cultivate uniformly with shallow tilling
equipment such as a rotary hoe that will not damage Soybeans.
GROUND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Apply this product alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture
per acre, unless otherwise specified.
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. Calibrate the sprayer before use at the beginning
of the season. For mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should
be no finer than 50-mesh.
BAND APPLICATIONS
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula:
Band width in inches x Broadcast rate = Amount needed
Row width in inches per acre per acre of field
CHEMIGATION
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Apply this product in water using a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. Avoid application under
conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Make
applications at a maximum height of 10 feet above the Soybeans with low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure
of 40 psi.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and
prolonged contact with skin.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a
turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE
S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pres sure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size
(ASABE S572.3) for all applications.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or 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 droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers
Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
7
x For all other applications, applicators must select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
x If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use one-half swath displacement
upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
x 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.
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.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase 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 hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. 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. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
WIND
8
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.”
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
TO PREVENT OFF SITE MOVEMENT DUE TO RUNOFF OR WIND EROSION
• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these
conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
• Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
• Do not use tail water from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops, unless
at least 0.5 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
CLEANING EQUIPMENT AFTER APPLICATION
Because some crops other than Soybeans are sensitive to low rates of this product, 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 the
following procedure:
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 50 gallons of water. Many commercial
spray tank cleaners may be used as well. Consult your representative 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.

competition from weeds for a period of up to 5 weeks when followed by a planned post-emergence herbicide
application in conventional and Glyphosate-tolerant Soybeans. Refer to Table 2 for weeds controlled or
partially controlled by this product. For the post-emergence herbicide application, consult the label of the
selected post-emergence herbicide for weeds controlled, optimum weed size, application rate, additional use
directions, precautions and limitations before use.
PRE-PLANT SURFACE APPLIED
For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, this product may be applied at 2 pints per acre prior to Soybean
planting. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply this product in a tank mixture with a burndown
herbicide (such as Paraquat or Glyphosate). To the extent possible, minimize movement of treated soil out of
the row or untreated soil to the surface during planting or weed control will be diminished. Follow with a post-
emergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for Soybeans and weed
spectrum. Post-emergence treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the
specific weeds remaining in the field including Glyphosate (for use on Glyphosate-tolerant Soybeans only).
PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED
Apply this product at 2 pints per acre in conventional tillage systems where incorporation into the top 2 inches
of soil occurs within 7 days after application using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator or similar implement
capable of providing uniform 2 inch incorporation. Follow with a post-emergence herbicide applied at the
labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for Soybeans and weed spectrum. Post-emergence
treatments include any product or combination of products labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in
the field including Glyphosate (for use on Glyphosate-tolerant Soybeans only).
PRE-EMERGENCE
Apply this product at 2 pints per acre during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds
or Soybeans emerge in conventional, conservation or no-till systems. If weeds are present at the time of
treatment, apply this product in a tank mixture with a burndown herbicide such as Paraquat or Glyphosate.
Follow with a post-mergence herbicide applied at the labeled rate and within the specific growth stage for
Soybeans and weed spectrum. Post-emergence treatments include any product or combination of products
labeled to control the specific weeds remaining in the field including Glyphosate (for use on Glyphosate-
tolerant Soybeans only) or Glufosinate (Glufosinate-tolerant Soybeans only).
CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE SYSTEMS
17
For conventional tillage systems, this product may be applied pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence for
control or partial control of weeds listed in Table 2. This product may be applied alone or in tank mix or followed
sequentially with post-emergence herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum or control newly emerged
weeds. Refer to Table 3 for use rates for this product.
PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED APPLICATION
Incorporate this product uniformly into the top 2 inches of soil within 7 days after application and before planting
using a disk, field cultivator, rolling cultivator or similar implement. Apply this product pre-plant incorporated if
furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected.
PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATION
