To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call (901)774-4370.
|
||
NON-TARGET ORGANISMS 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.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
The active ingredients, Metolachlor and Mesotrione, are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions
|
||
as a result of label use.
|
||
These chemicals may leach 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 rainwater. 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 months or more after application.
|
||
A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such
|
||
as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of metolachlor and Mesotrione from runoff water and
|
||
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within
|
||
48 hours.
|
||
Mixing and Loading Instructions
|
||
Take care when using this product to prevent back siphoning into wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide,
|
||
spray mixtures or rinsates.
|
||
Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on mixing equipment.
|
||
This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 feet of wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink
|
||
holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
|
||
equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to
|
||
withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
MES-O-SATE Herbicide is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide for contact followed by residual control of weeds in
|
||
Glyphosate tolerant Corn. It is also a pre-emergence herbicide for control of weeds in Grain sorghum. Following a
|
||
post-emergence application of this product, susceptible weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease
|
||
growth soon after application. This product is also absorbed through the soil and/or by the foliage of emerged weeds. Complete
|
||
death of the weeds may take up to 2 weeks.
|
||
This product provides 3 to 4 weeks of residual control of newly emerging susceptible weeds (see Table 1) through root and
|
||
shoot absorption.
|
||

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
|
||
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.
|
||
Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver me dium or coarser droplets in accordance with American
|
||
Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641). If the wind speed is 10 mph or less,
|
||
applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is
|
||
between 11 to 15 mph, applicators must use 3/4 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 not exceed 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.
|
||
AIRBLAST APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Sprays must be delivered into the canopy.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row.
|
||
Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
GROUNDBOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or cropcanopy.
|
||
Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with American
|
||
Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
|
||
Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||
Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with American
|
||
Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
|
||
Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph 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.
|
||
|
||
Page 6 of 16
|
||
• 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 inflight.
|
||
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. Temperat ure 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 airmixing.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. 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.
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
|
||
GLYPHOSATE GROUP 9 HERBICIDE
|
||
MESOTRIONE GROUP 27 HERBICIDE
|
||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 15, 9 and 27 modes of action herbicides. Any weed population may
|
||
contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 15, 9 and 27 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 15, 9 and 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing
|
||
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds ina 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 toresistance.
|
||
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 managementpractices.
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
Page 7 of 16
|
||
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 cleanseed.
|
||
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-managementrecommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-
|
||
4370.
|
||
Triazine and Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) Resistance
|
||
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf and grass weed species with resistance to triazine or ALS herbicides are
|
||
known to exist. If weed biotypes resistant to triazine or ALS i nhibitors are present in the field, this product will control th em if
|
||
they are listed in Table 1.
|
||
Glyphosate Resistance
|
||
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Glyphosate may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed
|
||
population. The repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conditions to a
|
||
selection of resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the likelihood that resistant weed populations will develop
|
||
and integrated strategies are known to manage such problem weeds.
|
||
Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients in this product, thus, Glyphosate resistance management is critical. This product
|
||
will control broadleaf weeds that are showing increased tolerance or resistance to Glyphosate. When applying this product to
|
||
broadleaf weeds that are suspected or known to be resistant to Glyphosate, tank-mix with Atrazine or Dicamba to provide an
|
||
additional mode of action. 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 involved in tank-
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank-
|
||
mixture.
|
||
This product will not provide control of emerged grasses that are resistant to Glyphosate. For control of Glyphosate resistant
|
||
grass weeds, a weed control program that includes a pr e-emergence grass herbicide will reduce the dependence on
|
||
Glyphosate.
|
||
Best Weed Management practice includes the diversification ofGlyphosate dependent weed control programs with alternative
|
||
mode of action herbicides or cultural practices.
|
||
In Roundup Ready Corn and Roundup Ready Soybeans systems, do not use more than two applications of a
|
||
Glyphosate based herbicide over a two-year period. Diversify with alternative mode of action herbicides and/or
|
||
cultural practices.
|
||
In Roundup Ready Cotton, a maximum of three applications of a Glyphosate based herbicide may be used if
|
||
employing in-crop cultivation and/or residualherbicides.
|
||
Use alternative (non-Glyphosate) burndown and/or residu al herbicides for Roundup Ready crops likely to require
|
||
more than one application of Glyphosate.
|
||
To help manage Roundup Ready resistant volunteers, rotate Roundup Ready crops with conventional or non-
|
||
Roundup Ready crops.
|
||
Use full labeled rates of Glyphosate and tank-mix partners. Minimize weedescapes.
|
||
Monitor treated weed populations for any loss of fieldefficacy.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or Crop Protection representative for herbicide
|
||
resistance management and/or integrated weed management practices for specific crops and resistant weed
|
||
biotypes.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
Refer to the “CROP USE DIRECTIONS” section for specific crop instructions.
|
||
USE OF ADJUVANTS
|
||
For post-emergence applications to Glyphosate tolerant Corn or burndown applications to Grain sorghum, add a nonionic
|
||
surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of water (0.25 to 0.5% v/v) to the spray solution. Use the higher rate of nonionic
|
||
surfactant when weeds are growing under stress conditions (e.g. cool temperatures, dry weather, etc.).
|
||
|
||
Page 11 of 16
|
||
In addition to nonionic surfactant, add spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 to 17.0 pounds per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
When using liquid AMS products, use a rate that delivers an AMS equivalent of 8.5 to 17.0 pounds per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
The use of this product with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) instead of AMS will result in crop injury and reduced grass weed
|
||
control.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Ensure that spray nozzles are uniformly spaced, same size and type and provide accurate and uniform application. Use spray
|
||
nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Good weed coverage is essential
|
||
for optimum weed control. Base boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications on the height of the crop – at least 15
|
||
inches above the crop canopy.
|
||
Flat fan (80o or 110o) or Turbo Tee Jet nozzles will provide optimum coverage. Do not use flood jet nozzles or controlled
|
||
droplet application equipment for applications of this product.
|
||
Nozzles may be angled 45o forward or backward to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that
|
||
all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser.
|
||
Apply this product in a spray volume of 10 to 30 gallons per acre. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35 to
|
||
40 psi at the nozzles (check nozzle manufacturer’s instructions) and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the
|
||
product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense,
|
||
use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre.
|
||
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed even if spraying is stopped for brief periods. If the
|
||
agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
|
||
CLEANING EQUIPMENT AFTER APPLICATION
|
||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than Glyphosate tolerant Corn or Grain
|
||
sorghum. Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
|
||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 25 gallons of water. Many commercial spray tank
|
||
cleaners may be used.
|
||
3. 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. If a pressure washer is not available, 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 re-circulate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Remove all visible deposits from the spraying
|
||
system.
|
||
4. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
|
||
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1 to 3 in an appropriate manner.
|
||
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5.
|
||
7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the above
|
||
procedures.
|
||
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
This product may be applied aerially for post-emergence weed control in Glyphosate tolerant Corn and pre-plant or pre-
|
||
emergence weed control in Grain sorghum only in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
|
||
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
|
||
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
|
||
New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
|
||
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
|
||
Applications must be made in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Restrictions: For aerial application, use only nozzles producing coarse-ultra coarse droplets. Do not use nozzles producing
|
||
fine-medium size droplets.
|
||
ADDITIONAL SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Page 12 of 16
|
||
The distance of the outer-most nozzles on the boom must not exceed three-fourths the length of the wingspan or rotor.
|
||
Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
Spray must be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and flight safety.
|
||
For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantifiably pattern tested initially for aerial application
|
||
of this product and every year thereafter.
|
||
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than three-fourths of the wingspan or rotor length may
|
||
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
|
||
Do not make applications at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required
|
||
for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
|
||
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind
|
||
edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath
|
||
adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
|
||
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment
|
||
type determine drift potential at any given speed. Avoid application below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high
|
||
inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns
|
||
and how they affect drift.
|
||
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation.
|
||
Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot anddry.
|
||
Avoid applying during a temperature inversion, because drift poten tial is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air
|
||
mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
|
||
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. 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. 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 connected cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
|
||
upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical airmixing.
|
||
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of
|
||
water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-t arget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away
|
||
from the sensitive areas).
|
||
TO PREVENT OFF-SITE MOVEMENT DUE TO RUNOFF OR WIND EROSION
|
||
Do not apply 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, avoid treati ng powdery dry or light soils when conditions are favorable for
|
||
wind erosion. Under these conditions, ensure that the soil surface is settled by rainfall or irrigation first. Do not apply to
|
||
impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation
|
||
of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least one-half inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first
|
||
irrigation.
|
||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
Refer to the “CROP USE DIRECTIONS” section of this label for listed tank-mixes.
|
||
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those outlined
|
||
here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed any label dosage rates.
|
||
This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Do not tank-mix this product
|
||
with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution or adjuvant not listed on the label without testing compatibility, as poor
|
||
mixing may result. Test the compatibility of any tank-mix combination on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank-
|
||
mixing.
|
||

|
||
When adding products to the spray tank, make sure each product is added separately and thoroughly agitated before adding
|
||
the next product. If using an induction tank, add only one product at a time. For example, add water, then add atrazine to the
|
||
induction tank and transfer to spray tank, rinse induction tank with water, then add this product.
|
||
1. Fill tank one-half full of clean water and startagitation.
|
||
2. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS).
|
||
3. Add nonionic surfactant.
|
||
4. Add atrazine. Make sure atrazine is fully dispersed before other products are added to the mix.
|
||
5. Add fungicide (if applicable).
|
||
6. Add this product.
|
||
7. Add emulsifiable concentrate (EC) products (e.g., insecticides) last. Be aware that adding any EC type product will
|
||
increase the risk for crop injury.
|
||
8. Fill tank with water to the desired level.
|
||

This product may be applied at a rate of 3.6 to 4.0 pints per acre from Corn emergence up to 30 inches in height or the 8 leaf
|
||
stage of Corn growth. Apply this product to actively growing weeds listed inTable 1. For the best protection of the Corn crops
|
||
yield potential, apply this product before weeds exceed 4 inches in height, length or diameter. Use the higher end of the use
|
||
rate range of this product (i.e., 4.0 pts./Ac.) when weeds are stressed or weed populations are dense.
|
||
Apply this product with a nonionic surfactant and ammonium sulfate (AMS). See the “ADJUVANTS” section for specific
|
||
instructions.
|
||
Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days after application. Effects on perennial weeds may take 7 days or
|
||
longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity.
|
||
Weeds susceptible to Metolachlor or Mesotrione which emerge soon after application of this product will be controlled after
|
||
they absorb the herbicides from the soil. The active ingredients contained in this product are in adequate amounts to provide
|
||
3 to 4 weeks of residual weed control extending through crop canopy. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is not received within
|
||
7 to 10 days after the post-emergence application, residual weed control will bereduced.
|
||
Applying this product at rates less than 3.6 pints per acre may result in incomplete weed control, as well as less residual weed
|
||
control. Using reduced rates of this product also increases the risk for the development of weed resistant biotypes. See the
|
||
“WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT” section of this label for specific instructions.
|
||
THIS PRODUCT – SEQUENTIAL WEED CONTROL
|
||
This product may be applied as the post-emergence component of a two-pass weed control program. Apply pre-emergence
|
||
products at labeled rates and follow with a post-emergence application of this product at 3.6 to 4.0 pints per acre. Do not
|
||
reduce the rate of this product when applied in a sequential program with pre-emergence products containing Mesotrione.
|
||
This product may also be applied following pre-emergence application of products containing Mesotrione not to exceed 0.094

|
||
THIS PRODUCT – TANK-MIXED WITH ATRAZINE
|
||
Apply this product at 3.6 to 4.0 pints per acre in tank-mixture with Atrazine. If weeds are more than 4 inches tall or for improved
|
||
broadleaf weed control, add Atrazine at a rate of 0.25 to 2.0 pound s a.i. per acre. Alternatively, Atrazine in the form of dry
|
||
flowable (DF) or water dispersible granules (WDG) containing 0.9 pound a.i. per pound of the product may be mixed with this
|
||
product in place of Atrazine in liquid form containing 4 pounds a.i. per gallon of the product at a rate that delivers 0.25 to 2 .0
|
||
pounds a.i. per acre. Atrazine rates above 0.5 pound a.i. per acre may result in Glyphosate antagonism and reduced grass
|
||
control.
|
||
Apply this product in tank-mixture with Atrazine with a nonionic surfactant and ammonium sulfate (AMS). See the
|
||
“ADJUVANTS” section of this label for specific instructions.
|
||
When tank-mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with this product to Glyphosate tolerant
|
||
Corn, do not exceed an application rate of 2.0 pounds Atrazine a.i. per acre for any single application and the total pounds of
|
||
atrazine applied (lbs. a.i./Ac.) must not exceed 2.5 pounds a.i. per acre per year. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility t o
|
||
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 involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and
|
||
precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.
|
||
If no atrazine was applied prior to Corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2.0 pounds a.i. per acre broadcast. If a post-
|
||
emergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application, the total Atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5
|
||
pounds a.i. per acre per calendar year.
|
||
Do not apply any Atrazine formulation if Corn is greater than 12 inches tall.
|
||
THIS PRODUCT – TANK-MIXED WITH PRODUCTS CONTAINING DICAMBA
|
||
Tank-mix this product at 3.6 to 4 pints per acre with products containing Dicamba plus nonionic surfactant at 1 quart per 100
|
||
gallons plus spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) for improved control of difficult broadleaf weeds as a post-emergence
|
||
application in Glyphosate tolerant Corn.
|
||
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 involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow
|
||
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.

|
||
such as a jar test before actual tank-mixing.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
1. Temporary crop response (transient bleaching) from post-emergence applications to Glyphosate tolerant Corn may occur
|
||
under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffer ing from stress. Corn quickly outgrows these effects and
|
||
develops normally.
|
||
2. If additional Glyphosate is tank-mixed or applied sequentially with this product as a post-emergence treatment in Glyphosate
|
||
tolerant Corn, refer to the specific Glyphosate label for in crop raterestrictions.
|
||
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 involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow
|
||
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture.
|
||
CORN USE RESTRICTIONS

GRAIN SORGHUM
|
||
This product can be applied pre-plant non-incorporated (up to 21 days before planting) up through pre-emergence for weed
|
||
control in Sorghum. This product will control the emerged weeds listed in the Table 1 and will provide residual control of the
|
||
weeds listed in Table 3.
|
||
The Sorghum seed must be treated with a protectant that is effective for safening Metolachlor to Sorghum. Applying this
|
||
product pre-plant or pre-emergence to Sorghum that is not seed protected for applications to Metolachlor will result in crop
|
||
death. Applying this product post-emergence to Sorghum will result in crop death.
|
||
Apply this product as a broadcast non-incorporated spray at a rate of 4 to 6 pints per acre beginning at 21 days before planting
|
||
and up through planting but prior to Sorghum emergence. Applying this product less than 7 days before Sorghum planting will
|
||
increase the risk of crop injury, especially if irrigation or rainfall is received following the application. Injury symptoms in clude
|
||
temporary bleaching of newly emerging Sorghum leaves or in extreme conditions, stunting or partial stand loss. Applying this
|
||
product more than 7 days (but not more than 21) prior to Sorghum planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
|
||
If this product is applied prior to planting, minimize disturbance of the herbicide treated soil barrier during the planting process
|
||
in order to lessen the potential for poor weed control in the disturbed soilzone.
|
||
SPLIT APPLICATION
|
||
This product may also be applied as a split application to Grain sorghum. For a split application program, apply the first
|
||
application as a non-incorporated early pre-plant (7 to 21 days before planting) treatment followed by a second application of
|
||
this product as a pre-emergence application prior to Sorghum emergence. The total amount of this product applied in the split
|
||
application program cannot exceed 6 pints per acre perseason.
|
||
For control of emerged weeds listed in Table 1, add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1
|
||
to 2 qts./100 gals.) to the spray solution. Use the higher NIS rate of 0.5% v/v under adverse environmental conditions (high
|
||
temperatures and/or low humidity). In addition to NIS, a spra y grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at a rate of 8.5 to 17 pounds
|
||
per 100 gallons of spray may be added to the solution for improved control of emerged weeds.
|
||
This product can be applied sequentially or in tank-mixture with other herbicides registered for use in Grain sorghum. Always
|
||
refer to labels of the tank mix partners for use directions, precautions and restrictions.
|
||
GRAIN SORGHUM USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
1. Do not apply more than 6 pints of this product per acre per growing season.
|
||
2. Do not apply this product to Sorghum grown on sandy soils (sand, sandy loam or loamy sand).
|
||
3. Do not apply this product to emerged Grain sorghum or plant death will occur.
|
||
4. Do not use this product in the production of Forage sorghum, Sweet sorghum (sorgo), Sudangrass, Sorghum-

|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED IN GRAIN SORGHUM
|
||
When applied as directed in this label, this product at 6 pints per acre will provide pre-emergence control or partial control the
|
||
weeds listed in Table 3. Optimum weed control will be obtained if this product is applied according to all label directions.
|
||
If a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control may be decreased. If irrigation is available,
|
||
apply 0.5 to 1 inch of water. If irrigation is not available, a uniform shallow cultivation as soon as weeds emerge will provid e
|
||
improved control.
