|
||
such as barrier laminate or viton and shoes plus socks
|
||
USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist,
|
||
use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed
|
||
in the Worker Protection Standard (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 with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking,
|
||
chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside.
|
||

|
||
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
For Terrestrial Uses: 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 condit ions favor drift from target area. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to
|
||
aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and 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 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
|
||
fomesafen from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
|
||
forecasted to occur within 48 hours. For more information, see the United States Department of Agriculture National
|
||
Resource Conservation Services Manual, Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement:
|
||
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 site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label
|
||
directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not store, mix or apply this product or spray solutions of this product in unlined steel (except stainless steel), galvanized
|
||
steel containers, or spray tanks. This product or spray solutions of this product will react with these containers and tanks
|
||
and produce hydrogen gas which may form a highly combustible mixture. This gas mixture could flash or explode, causing
|
||
serious personal injury, if ignited by spark, open flame, lighted cigarette, welder torch, or other ignition source.
|
||
|
||
Spray solutions of this product must be mixed, stored and applied using only stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic, or plastic -
|
||
lined steel containers.

|
||
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Glyphosate works by targeting an enzyme that is essential for plant growth.
|
||
|
||
Read all label directions before using this product.
|
||
|
||
This product may be used as a pre- plant or pre- emergence burndown herbicide in Cotton or as a post -
|
||
emergence directed application in glyphosate tolerant (GT) C otton* and as a pre- plant or pre- emergence
|
||
burndown herbicide in Soybeans or as a post-emergence over-the-top application in glyphosate tolerant (GT)
|
||
Soybeans** to control labeled broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds.
|
||
|
||
*This product may be used on the following glyphosate tolerant Cotton only: Roundup Ready® Flex Cotton.
|
||
**This product may be used on the following glyphosate tolerant Soybeans only: all Roundup Ready Soybeans including
|
||
Roundup Ready 2 Yield Soybeans and all Genuity brand Soybeans which includes Roundup Ready 2.
|
||
|
||
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
|
||
Always apply this product under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid
|
||
applying this product to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures,
|
||
excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or
|
||
increased crop injury may result.
|
||
|
||
Pre-plant Surface, Pre-emergence and Post-emergence Applications
|
||
This product will control or partially control certain germinating broadleaf weeds and sedges by soil residual
|
||
activity from either pre-plant surface, pre-emergence or post-emergence applications that come in contact with
|
||
the soil. Moisture is necessary to activate this product in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following
|
||
applications of this product may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received 7 days after an
|
||
application of this product, weed control may be improved by overh ead irrigation with at least a 1/4 inch of
|
||
water.
|
||
|
||
Page 4 of 21
|
||
|
||
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation prior to post-emergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under stress,
|
||
thus reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 2 to 3 weeks after applying this product may assist weed control.
|
||
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 9 and 14 modes of action herbicide. Any weed population
|
||
may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 9 and 14 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:
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 9 and 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
|
||
among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives
|
||
at (901) 774-4370.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
|
||
Drift Management
|
||
Refer to the “SPRAY DRIFT” section at the end of this label.
|
||
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.910 may be used in the spray mixture.
|
||
|
||
Under certain conditions, burndown and post-emergence activity may be improved by adding one or more of
|
||
the following spray adjuvants:
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallon of water should be added in areas where
|
||
commonly used with glyphosate-containing products. Liquid formulations of AMS may be used at an equivalent
|
||
rate.

|
||
|
||
|
||
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) (28-32% liquid nitrogen solution) may be added at 1 to 2.5% volume to volume
|
||
(v/v) (1 to 2.5 gals. per 100 gals.) of finished spray volume. If AMS is being added, UAN is generally not required.
|
||
UAN can improve weed control but may reduce crop tolerance.
|
||
|
||
One of the following spray adjuvants can be added for difficult to control we eds or under adverse
|
||
environmental conditions:
|
||
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Methylated Seed Oil (MSO): Use a non-phytotoxic COC or MSO containing
|
||
15 to 20% approved emulsifier at 0.5 to 1% v/v (2 to 4 qts. per 100 gals.) of finished spray volume. COC or
|
||
MSO can improve weed control but may slightly reduce crop tolerance.
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS): Use NIS containing at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1 to 2 qts.
|
||
per 100 gals.) of finished spray volume.
|
||
|
||
The use of deposition (drift control) agents that impact droplet size and coverage may reduce weed control .
|
||
|
||
Note: No adjuvants are needed for pre- plant or pre-emergence applications unless this product is being used
|
||
in a burndown.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
1. Fill spray tank with one-half to two-thirds the required amount of water and begin agitation.
|
||
2. Add AMS (if used).
|
||
3. Add dry pesticide formulations (WP, DF, etc.).
|
||
4. Add liquid pesticide formulation (EC, SC etc.).
|
||
5. Add This Product.
|
||
6. Add COC, MSO or NIS (if used).
|
||
7. Add remainder of water and then maintain constant agitation throughout the spray operation.
|
||
|
||
Be sure to allow each tank mix component to fully disperse before adding the next.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mix Compatibility Test
|
||
A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product with mixture partners. Add
|
||
proportion amounts of tank mixture components in a clear quart jar one at a time in the specified mixing order.
|
||
Gently shake or invert capped jar and let stand for 15 to 30 minutes. If the mixture clumps, forms flakes, oily
|
||
films or layers or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mixture should not be used.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use.
|
||
Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
|

Burndown and Residual Weed Control Applications
|
||
This product can provide burndown of emerged weeds and residual control of certain germinating broadleaf
|
||
weeds and sedges in Cotton.
|
||
|
||
Application to Coarse Textured Soils
|
||
Apply this product 3.5 to 5.3 pints per acre as a pre-plant surface or pre-emergence application to coarse
|
||
textured soils (sandy loam, loamy sand, sandy clay loam) only. Refer to Table 1 for use rates and weeds
|
||
controlled by pre-plant surface or pre-emergence applications and Tables 2 and 3 for use rates, weed growth
|
||
stages and weeds controlled by post-emergence applications.
|
||
|
||
Page 16 of 21
|
||
|
||
Application to Medium or Fine Textured Soils
|
||
Apply this product at 3.5 pints per acre as a pre- plant surface application to medium or fine textured soils (i.e.
|
||
soil types heavier than coarse textured soils) up to 21 days prior planting Cotton. Apply after the last tillage
|
||
operation is completed.
|
||
Refer to Table 1 for weeds controlled by pre-plant surface applications and Tables 2 and 3 for weed growth
|
||
stages and weeds controlled by post-emergence applications. To avoid severe crop injury, the following use
|
||
directions must be followed when applications are made to medium or fine textured soils:
|
||
• After application of this product, a minimum of 0.5 inch of rainfall or overhead irrigation must occur before
|
||
planting Cotton.
|
||
• Cotton must be planted at least 0.75 inch in depth.
|
||
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths.
|
||
• Do not disturb or re-work the seedbed following application.
|
||
|
||
The use of an in- furrow or seed applied fungicide will generally assist with seedling establishment and
|
||
development.
|
||
|
||
Use Restriction: Do not exceed 3.5 pints per acre of this product on medium or fine textured soils.
|
||
|
||
Use Directions for Burndown and Residual Weed Control Applications
|
||
Emerged weeds must receive thorough spray coverage for effective control. Refer to the “ SPRAY
|
||
ADJUVANTS” section for directions on spray adjuvants for post-emergence weed control.
|
||
Moisture is necessary to activate this product in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following application
|
||
of this product may reduce residual activity. When adequate moisture is not received within 7 days after an
|
||
application of this product, res idual weed control may be improved with at least a one- fourth inch of overhead
|
||
irrigation.
|
||
|
||
Cotton plants are tolerant to this product when applied at specified rates and application use directions. Some
|
||
crinkling or spotting of Cotton foliage or stunting may occur but Cotton plants normally outgrow these effects
|
||
and develop normally.
|
||
|
||

|
||
this product at 3.5 pints per acre in a minimum of 15 gallons spray solution per acre. Applications may be made
|
||
broadcast or banded. Post -directed applications of this product will provide contact control of labeled weeds
|
||
and residual pre-emergence control of labeled weeds (once activated by rainfall or irrigation). Refer to the Table
|
||
1 for weeds controlled or partially controlled through residual activity and Tables 2 to 3 for weeds controlled by
|
||
post-emergence activity.
|
||
Cotton foliage is not tolerant to applications of this product. Avoid contact to Cotton foliage as unacceptable
|
||
injury will occur. Calibrate application equipment (spray pressure, nozzle type and configuration, and orifice
|
||
size) to avoid fine spray droplets contacting green Cotton stems and foliage.

SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• 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).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
• For aerial applications: 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. Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
|
||
field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
|
||
feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
• 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).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
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 manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
|
||
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Ground Boom: Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform
|
||
coverage. 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
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
