ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Groundwater Advisory: This chemical has properties and char acteristics associated with chemicals
detected in groundwater. 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 ground water. This product is
classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for days after application. A level,
well-maintained vegetative buffer st rip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water
features such as ponds, streams, and springs will re duce the potential loading of thifensulfuron-methyl
from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications
when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Non-target Organism Advisory: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage
and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinat ors, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect
the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and
instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
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 wo rkers or other persons, either directly or through
drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area du ring application. For any requirements specific to
your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES: Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide has the potential to move off-site
due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very
fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affects the movement of
windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope,
rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide if prevailing local
conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
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 S641).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size
(ASABE S641).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ 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 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet
above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in
which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to
use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size
(ASAE S572.3).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size ( ASAE S572.3) for all
applications.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF
NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use
the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider
using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
volume and droplet size.
• 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 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
4
the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not
release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application
height is necessary for pilot safety.
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.
Boom-less 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.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide contains the Group 2 herbicides
thifensulfuron methyl. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Thifen
E-AG 75 WDG and other Group 2 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.
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 delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Thifen E -AG 75 WDG or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a
field.
5
• 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 before and 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. Users should report lack of performance to registrant or their representative.
• 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 Nufarm contact at 855 -280-6609.
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. Contact your local sales representative,
crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found
in your region. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of action.
Co-formulated active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled.
Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide is a dry flowable granule that is mixed in a carrier and broadcast sprayed
for selective postemergence control of certain broadleaf weeds in the following crops and sites:
Crop Use Site
Barley Pre-plant burndown
Corn Post-harvest burndown
Oats Fallow
Rice
Sorghum
(grain)
Soybeans
Triticale
Wheat (including durum)
6
NOTE: Before using Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide, be certain that is registered for use in you, state by
checking with your state extension service or Department of Agriculture.
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide rapidly stops th e growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical
symptoms of dying weeds (discoloration) may not be noticeable for 1-3 weeks after application (2-5
weeks for wild garlic) depending on the environmental conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist
conditions following treatment prom ote the activity of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide, while cold, dry
conditions delay the activity. Weeds hardened-off by cold weather or drought stress will be less
susceptible.
Weed spectrum and size of weed at time of app lication determines the use rate. Duration of effect
and degree of control are dependent upon the rate applied, the sensitivity and size of the target
weeds, and environmental conditions at the time of and following application.
For best results, apply Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide to young, actively growing weeds. Because a
vigorous growing crop aids weed control by shading and providing competition, in areas of thin crop
stand or seeding skips weeds may not be adequately controlled. Conversely, a dense crop canopy at
time of application may result in reduced weed control by intercepting spray.
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
Do NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do NOT graze or feed forage or hay from treated ar eas to livestock (harvested straw may be used for
bedding and / or feed).
Do NOT use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0,
as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray soluti ons of pH 6.0-8.0 allow for optimum stability of
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide.
Do NOT apply to wheat, barley, oat or triticale crops underseeded with another crop.
Unsatisfactory control may result if applications are made to weeds under stress, that are in the
cotyledon stage, or that are larger than the sizes indicated.
Applying Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide to crops that are stressed or known to be sensitive to this
product may result in injury.
Different varieties of a crop may have differing leve ls of sensitivity to Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide
under otherwise normal conditions.
For Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide to be sufficientl y absorbed by weed foliage, several hours of dry
weather are required. If rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application, weed control may be
adversely affected.
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide should be used on ly in accordance with recommendations on this
label or in separately published Etigra recommendations.
Etigra will not be responsible for losses or dama ges resulting from the use of this product in any
manner not specifically recommended by Etigra.
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
Do NOT apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas
where their roots may extend, or in locations wher e the chemical may be washed or moved into
contact with their roots.
Do NOT use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts , or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to
desirable plants.
Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation may result from failure to observe the
following:
Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-
target plants or areas.
Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as
sprayer tank residue may damage crops other than wheat, barley, oat, triticale, corn, or soybeans.
Wheat, barley, oat, triticale, corn and soybean va rieties may differ in th eir response to various
herbicides. Etigra recommends that you first consul t your state experiment station, university, or
extension agent as to sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use of
7
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide to a small area.
For wheat, barley, oat, and triticale, under certain co nditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold
weather (daily high temperature less than 50 Deg. F. ), or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures
prior to or soon after Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herb icide application, temporary discoloration and/or
crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide
with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best-see the TANK MIXTURES section of this label) and apply
after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide should not be appl ied to corn, oat, wheat, barley, triticale, or
soybeans that are stressed by severe weather cond itions, drought (including low levels of subsoil
moisture), low fertility, water-saturated soil, diseas e, or insect damage, as crop injury may result.
Risk of injury is greatest when the cereal crop is in the 2 to 5-leaf stage. Severe winter stress,
drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
Control of weeds in wheel track areas may be redu ced for ground applications applied to weeds
when dry, dusty field conditions exist.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Always include a spray adjuvant with applications of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide. In addition to a
spray adjuvant, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer ma y be used. Do not use low rates of liquid nitrogen
fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant. Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, local Etigra fa ct sheets and technical bulletins prior to using an
adjuvant system. If another herbicide is tank mixed with Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide, select
adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Pr oducts must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
(40 CFR 1001).

(HLB) greater than 12. For additional information, refer to the TANK MIXTURES section of this label.
CROP ROTATION
Wheat, barley, oat, triticale, soybeans and field co rn may be replanted anytime after the application of
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide.
Any other crop may be planted 45 days after the application of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank ¼ to 1/3 full of water
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide.
8
3. Continue agitation until the Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue
filling tank with water. Thifen E-AG 75 WDG He rbicide should be thoroughly mixed with water
before adding any other material.
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the required volume of spray
adjuvant. Always add spray adjuvant last. Anti foaming agents may be used. Do not use with
spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product
degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for optimum stability
of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide.
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settlin g will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-
agitate before using.
7. Apply Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide spray mixtur e within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product
degradation.
8. If Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide and a tank mix part ner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-
slurry the Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will
prevent the tank mix partner from interfering wi th the dissolution of the Thifen E-AG 75 WDG
Herbicide.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor poor
coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
In wheat, barley, oats, triticale, post-harvest bu rndown, pre-plant burndown and fallow apply 2 - 5
gallons per acre; In Idaho, Oregon and Utah use at least 3 gallons per acre.
In corn and soybeans, use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre.
When applying Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide by ai r in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid
stream nozzles oriented straight back. Adjust the sw ath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops
downwind and/or use ground equipment to treat th e border edge of fields. See the Spray Drift
Management section of this label.
WHEAT, BARLEY, OAT, TRITICALE, POST-HARVEST BURNDOWN, PRE-PLANT BURNDOWN AND
FALLOW:
For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA).
For flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 GPA, flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the
equivalent), and a pressure of at least 30 psi. Fo r 40" nozzle spacings, use at least 13 GPA; for 60"
spacings use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
Raindrop RA® nozzles are not recommended for Thif en E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide applications, as
weed control performance may be reduced.
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
CORN AND SOYBEANS
Broadcast Application
Use 10-25 gallons of water per acre.
Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into
the corn plant whorl.
Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase minimum spray volume to 15-25 gal
per acre.
Band Application
For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture.
To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate.
Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles
from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
9
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional
information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle ty pes and arrangements, nozzle heights above the
target canopy, etc.
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and
delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. Use
higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath
overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to
the crop. Do not make applications using equi pment and/or spray volumes or during weather
conditions that might cause spray to drift onto non- target sites. For additional information on spray
drift refer to the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of this label. Continuous agitation is required
to keep Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide in suspension.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
The spray equipment must be cleaned before Thifen E- AG 75 WDG Herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup
procedures specified on the labels of the previously appl ied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six
steps outlined in the AFTER SPRAYING Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide section of this label.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide are applied, at
the end of each day of spraying the interior of the tank being rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and
the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildu p of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in
the application equipment.
AFTER SPRAYING THIFEN E-AG 75 WDG HERBICIDE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN
WHEAT, BARLEY, OAT, TRITICALE, FIELD CORN AND SOYBEANS
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
following applications of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide as follows:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, an d hoses with clean water . Loosen and physically
remove any visible deposits.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia † (contains 3% active ingredient) for every
100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to
completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min.
Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution and then drain the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsat e solution may be applied back to the crop(s)
recommended on this label. Do not exceed the ma ximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used,
consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instruct ions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the
rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
† Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or an Etigra-approved cleaner can be used in
the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer,
applicator, or Etigra representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
Notes:
1. CAUTION: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia because dangerous gases will form. Do not
clean equipment in an enclosed area.
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended pr ior to performing the above cleanout procedure to
facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
3. When Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for
each product should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cl eanout guidelines on subsequently applied products
10
should be followed as per the individual product labels.
5. When routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between
applications of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide and applications of other pesticides to Thifen E- AG 75
WDG Herbicide -sensitive crops during the sa me spray season, it is recommended that a
sprayer be dedicated to Thifen E-AG 75 WDG He rbicide to further reduce the chance of crop
injury.

Thifen E -AG 75 WDG Herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to
liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running
while the Thifen E -AG 75 WDG Herbicide is added. Use of the mixture may result in
temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the
spray solution volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at ½
pint-1 quart per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06- 0.25% v/v) based on local
recommendations.
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding
surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer,
consultant, fieldsman, or Etigra representative for a specific recommendation before
adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
If 2,4 -D or MCPA is included with Thifen E- AG 75 WDG Herbicide and the fertilizer
mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (See manufacturer's label).
Additional
surfactant may not be needed when using Thifen E- AG 75 WDG Herbicide
in tank mix with 2,4 -D ester or MCP ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or Etigra representative for a
specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
NOTES:
In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur
with use of straight or dilute nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold
temperatures or widely fluctuating day I night temperatures exist. In these areas
consult your agricultural dealer, consultant , field advisor, or Etigra representative for a
specific recommendation before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions.
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.

NOTE: For a listing of weeds controlled using applications of 1/3 oz of this product in STS® soybeans,
refer to WEEDS CONTROLLED in the CEREALS section.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply a single application of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbi cide at a rate of 1/12 (0 .083) ounces per acre on
conventional soybean varieties. Thifen E-AG 75 WD G Herbicide may be applied to soybeans any time
after the first trifoliate has expanded fully. Apply no later than 60 days before harvest.
On soybeans designated STS®, Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide may be applied at rates up to 1/3 ounce
per acre. Severe injury or death of soybeans will result if any soybeans not designated as STS® are
treated with more than 1/12 ounce of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide. Multiple applications of Thifen E-
AG 75 WDG Herbicide may be applied to STS® soybeans provided no more than a total of 1/3 ounce is
applied per season.
SPRAY ADDITIVES
Applications of Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide in soybeans must include a nonionic surfactant or crop oil
concentrate, and an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer . Refer to the ADJUVANTS section below for more
information.
TANK MIXTURES
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of other products registered
for use in soybeans. However, Etigra will not warrant crop safety or weed control of Thifen E-AG 75
WDG Herbicide tank mixtures with any other pesticide or spray adjuvant except as specified in this label
or other Etigra supplemental labeling or technical bulletins.
Early season soybean injury may result from tank-mix applications with other registered herbicides. Injury
may manifest itself as stunting (seen as a reduction in leaf size or internode length), yellowing leaves
and/or red veins, and necrosis in the leaves and petioles. The potential for soybean injury is most
pronounced with applications made during hot, humid conditions, under widely fluctuating weather or
temperature conditions, or with applications to soybeans under stress.
Do not tank mix Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide with organophosphate insecticides, or apply
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide within 14 days before or after an application of an
organophosphate insecticide, as severe crop injury may occur.
Postemergence Grass Herbicides
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide may be tank mixed with postemergence grass herbicides such as
Assure® II herbicide. With postemergence grass herbicid es, surfactant rate (concentration) should be 1-2
pints per 100 gallons of spray soluti on (0.125-0.25% v/v concentration). Use of a higher rate of nonionic
surfactant, particularly under hot, humid conditions, may result in temporary crop injury. Do not use crop
oil concentrate when tank mixing Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide with postemergence grass herbicides
unless specified on other Etigra supplemental labeling. Include a nonionic surfactant with the tank mix of
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide and post grass herbicides such as Assure® II herbicide.
Glyphosate
Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide may be tank mixed with glyphosate for control of certain broadleaf weeds
in Roundup Ready® or Roundup Ready® X STS® stacked trait soybeans. For tank mixtures of Thifen E-
AG 75 WDG Herbicide plus glyphosate herbicide, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions,
and precautions on the EPA approved labels. When ta nk mixing, the most restrictive labeling applies.
19
ADJUVANTS
When tank mixing Thifen E-AG 75 WDG Herbicide with glyphosate, it is recommended to add ammonium
sulfate (AMS) at 4.25-17 lb per 100 gal of spray mi xture. See the glyphosate manufacturer's label for
specific ammonium nitrogen recommendations. When velvetleaf is present, ammonium sulfate is
required at a minimum rate of 2 lb per acre.
The addition of surfactant at 0.125-0.25% v/v (1-2 pt per 100 gal spray mixture) to some Thifen E-AG 75
WDG Herbicide plus glyphosate tank mixes will improve weed control when glyphosate products are used
that do not contain built-in adjuvant systems. "Glyphosate" products differ in their adjuvant contents.
"Glyphosate" products such as Glyphomax® or Roundu p® Original allow for addition of surfactants. See
the manufacturer's specific surfactant recommendations.
