Product Information
Pursuit® herbicide is a soluble liquid herbicide to control
and suppress many broadleaf and grass weeds and
sedges, as listed in this label.
Pursuit kills weeds by root and/or foliage uptake and rapid
translocation to growing points. Adequate soil moisture is
important for optimum Pursuit activity. When adequate
soil moisture is present, Pursuit provides residual control
of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established
weeds depends on weed species and location of its root
system in the soil.
Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yel-
lowing of crop plants may occur after Pursuit application.
These effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal
growth and appearance should resume within 1 to
2 weeks.
When organophosphate (such as Lorsban
® insecticide)
or carbamate insecticides are tank mixed with Pursuit,
temporary injury may result to the treated crops.
Use of Pursuit is expected to result in normal growth of
rotational crops in most situations; however, various envi-
ronmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to
eliminate all risks associated with use of this product and,
therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Under
some conditions (such as heavy texture soil, high organic
matter, low pH, or low rainfall), Pursuit may cause injury to
subsequent planted crops. Vegetable crops and particular-
ly sugar beets are sensitive to Pursuit residue in the soil.
Replanting
If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with
Pursuit, the field may be replanted to any labeled crop for
this product. Rework the soil no deeper than the treated
zone. DO NOT apply a second treatment of Pursuit.
Resistance Management
Naturally occurring biotypes* of some weeds listed on this
label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other
products with the ALS/AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode of
action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS enzyme-
inhibiting mode of action include sulfonylureas
(e.g. Accent
® herbicide), imidazolinones (e.g. Beyond®
herbicide, Raptor® herbicide), triazolopyrimidine
sulfoanilides (e.g. FirstRate® herbicide),
sulfonylaminocarbonyl triazolinones, and pyrimidyl
benzoates. If naturally occurring ALS/AHAS-resistant
biotypes are present in a field, Pursuit and/or any other
ALS/AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode-of-action herbicide
should be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an
appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of
action to ensure control.
* A weed biotype is a naturally occurring plant within a given species that
has a slightly different, but distinct, genetic makeup from other plants.
Use Area Restriction
In New York State - Not for Sale or Use on Long
Island.
Mixing Instructions
Postemergence applications of Pursuit require the addi-
tion of an adjuvant AND a nitrogen fertilizer solution.
NOTE: Fertilizer solutions may not be used in
California.
Adjuvants
When an adjuvant (or specific adjuvant product, such as a
drift control agent) is to be used with this product, the use
of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association
(CPDA) certified adjuvant is recommended.
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC). Petroleum-based or
vegetable seed-based oil concentrate may be used.
Methylated seed oil (MSO) is recommended when weeds
are under moisture or temperature stress. Use methylated
seed oil at 1.0% volume/volume (v/v) (1 gallon per
100 gallons of spray solution), or use crop oil concentrate
at 1.25% v/v (1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray
solution). DO NOT include COC when applying Pursuit
to edible legume vegetable crops.
OR
Surfactant. Use nonionic surfactant (NIS) containing at
least 80% active ingredient. Apply surfactant at 0.25% v/v
(1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution). An organosili-
cone surfactant or dry surfactant may be used in place of
NIS.
AND
(all states except California)
Fertilizer Solution. Recommended nitrogen-based
fertilizers including liquid fertilizers (such as 28%N, 32%N,
or 10-34-0) may be applied at 1.25 to 2.5 gallons per
100 gallons of spray solution. Use the higher rate when
weeds are under moisture or temperature stress. Instead of
liquid fertilizer, spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) may
be used at 12 to 15 lbs per 100 gallons of spray solution.
NOTE: Fertilizer solution is not required in Pursuit applica-
tions in use areas south of Interstate Highway 40, except in
the states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Tank Mix Instructions
When applying Pursuit® herbicide as the only herbicide:
1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2. Use a calibrated device to measure the required amount
of Pursuit. While agitating, add Pursuit to the spray
tank.
3. Add adjuvants.
4. Fill remainder of spray tank with water.
If other herbicides or other spray tank components are
tank mixed with Pursuit, while agitating, add components
in the following order and thoroughly mix after adding each
component.
1. Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2. Add soluble packet products and thoroughly mix.
3. Add WP (wettable powder), DG (dispersible granule),
DF (dry flowable), or liquid flowable formulations not in
soluble packets.
4. Add Pursuit and thoroughly mix.
5. Add other aqueous solution products.
6. Add EC (emulsifiable concentrate) products.
7. Add surfactant or crop oil to the spray tank.
8. Add liquid fertilizer.
9. While agitating, fill the remainder of the tank with water.
When Pursuit is used in combination with another herbi-
cide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of
application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions,
and precautions. Always use in accordance with the most
restrictive label restrictions and precautions. DO NOT
exceed label rates. Pursuit cannot be mixed with any
product containing a label prohibiting such mixtures.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for
Pursuit applications must be drained and thoroughly
cleaned with water before being used to apply other
products.
Spraying Instructions
DO NOT apply when wind velocity is greater than 10 mph,
or when spray may be carried to sensitive crops. Pursuit
should only be applied when the potential for drift to adja-
cent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water,
known habitat for threatened or endangered species, or
nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing
away from the sensitive areas).
Ground Application
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment
in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure
of 20 to 40 PSI is recommended.
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons
of water per acre when applying Pursuit to minimum
tillage or no-till crops. Use higher gallonage for fields with
dense vegetation or heavy crop residue. Adjust the boom
height to ensure proper coverage of weed foliage
(according to manufacturers recommendation). Use only
flat-fan nozzle tips for post emergence applications. Avoid
overlaps when spraying.
Aerial Application
Pursuit may be applied by air to crops listed in this label
unless otherwise noted.
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment in
5 or more gallons of water per acre. When applied
postemergence, the addition of NIS AND fertilizer
solution are required for optimum weed control. Apply NIS
at 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution OR COC at
1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution AND a liquid
fertilizer at 1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution.
See Postemergence in Application Information
section.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-
ity of the applicator. The interaction of many
equipment-related and weather-related factors determines
the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower
are responsible for considering all these factors when mak-
ing decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be fol-
lowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial
applications to agricultural field crops.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
airstream and never be pointed downward more than
45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
The applicator must be familiar with and take into account
the information covered in the following aerial drift reduc-
tion advisory information.
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to
apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage
and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential
but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly
or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind;
Temperature and Humidity; and Temperature
Inversions).
Controlling droplet size:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturers
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower
pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of
increasing pressure.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-
zles that provide uniform coverage.
5
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so the spray is
released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets
than other orientations and is recommended practice.
Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce
droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type designed for the
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using
low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straight
back produce the largest droplets and lowest drift.
Boom Length
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length
to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further
reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height
Application must not be made 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.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath
will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the upwind and
downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compen-
sate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the
aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should
increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller
droplets, etc.).
Wind
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. Application should be avoided below 2 mph
because of 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 spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for
evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when con-
ditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inver-
sion because drift potential 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 because of the light, vari-
able 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 gener-
ator. 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.
Sensitive Areas
Pursuit® herbicide 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, or nontarget crops) is minimal
(e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which
results from spraying Pursuit in a manner other than rec-
ommended in this label. In addition, applicator must follow
all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances in
regard to spraying.
Application Information
Pursuit may be applied as a preplant, preplant incorporat-
ed, preemergence, or postemergence spray. Refer to
Use-specific Information for application recommenda-
tions and restrictions.
Preplant Incorporated
Apply Pursuit following land preparation and thoroughly
incorporate to a depth of 1 to 2 inches. If crops are plant-
ed on beds, apply and incorporate after bed formation
using PTO-driven equipment or a rolling cultivator. Maintain
Pursuit in the surface 1 to 2 inches of the finished beds.
Application may be made up to 45 days before planting
soybeans.
When Pursuit is soil applied to control nutsedge in
peanuts, incorporate with two passes of the incorporation
implement. Make the second pass at an offset angle to the
first pass to minimize potential for streaking.
Preemergence (Surface)
Use Pursuit in all production tillage systems. It can be
applied before planting (up to 45 days before planting); at
planting in conventional, minimum tillage, or no-till produc-
tion systems; or after planting and before crop emergence.
No-till or Minimum Tillage
Apply Pursuit treatments before, during, or after planting.
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons
of water per acre. Use higher gallonage for fields with
dense vegetation or heavy crop residue.
For maximum grass control, tank mix Pursuit with
Outlook
® herbicide, Prowl® H2O herbicide, or Zidua®
herbicide. To kill existing vegetation, glyphosate or 2,4-D
(early preplant; see 2,4-D label for limitations) may be tank
mixed with Pursuit alone or in combination with Outlook,
Prowl H
2O, or Zidua. Remove glyphosate or 2,4-D from
the tank mixture if vegetation is absent at the time of
application.

NOTE: Adjust planters to ensure adequate soil coverage of
seed.
Soil Application
Pursuit® herbicide provides effective weed control in con-
servation tillage systems designed to meet conservation
compliance requirements. Pursuit can be applied as an
early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
treatment in soybeans. It can also be applied in conven-
tional, minimum tillage, and no-till production systems. The
application method of choice depends on the anticipated
weed spectrum and preference of the applicator.
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity.
Rainfall or overhead irrigation is necessary to move Pursuit
into the weed germination zone. The amount of rainfall or
irrigation required following application depends on existing
soil moisture, soil texture, and organic matter content.
Sufficient water to moisten soil to a depth of 2 inches is
normally adequate. If adequate moisture is not received
within 7 days after treatment, cultivation is recommended
to control escaped weeds. When adequate moisture is
received after dry conditions, Pursuit provides residual
control of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on estab-
lished weeds depends on weed species and location of its
root system in the soil.
Pursuit controls weeds by uptake by weed roots and
translocation to the growing points where it stops weed
growth. Susceptible weeds may emerge; growth will stop;
and weeds will die or are not competitive with the crop.
Soil Application with Liquid Fertilizer
Pursuit can be applied to the soil in liquid fertilizers, alone,
or in combination with Outlook® herbicide or Prowl® H2O
herbicide to Clearfield® corn or soybean. Mixtures includ-
ing trifluralin may be applied to soybean only. Follow all
Pursuit label recommendations about incorporation, tim-
ing of application, special instructions, and precautions.
Apply treatments in 20 or more gallons of liquid fertilizer per
acre with ground equipment. Always test the compatibility
of Pursuit with the liquid fertilizer before mixing in the spray
tank.
Postemergence
Pursuit is effective in controlling weeds in conservation
tillage as well as in conventional production systems. Apply
Pursuit as an early post emergence treatment when crops
and weeds are actively growing and before weeds are
more than 3-inches tall, unless otherwise indicated. Delay
application until the majority of weeds are at the specified
growth stage. Base application timing on weed size and
not crop growth stage.
An adjuvant (crop oil concentrate or surfactant) and
nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray solu-
tion for optimum weed control activity. See Adjuvants
section in Mixing Instructions for specific instructions.
When Pursuit is applied post emergence, absorption will
occur through both roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds
stop growing and die or are not competitive with the crop.
Pursuit not only controls many existing broadleaf and
grass weeds when applied post emergence, it also controls
susceptible weeds that may emerge after application.
Unusually cool temperatures (50° F or less) reduce photo-
synthesis and transpiration and thus reduce uptake,
translocation, and efficacy of Pursuit in weeds. Delaying a
Pursuit application for 48 hours from the time temperature
increases above 50° F, if air temperature has been below
50° F for 10 or more hours, will improve weed control and
reduce crop response.
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7 to 10 days after a
post emergence Pursuit application. This timely cultivation
will enhance residual weed control, especially under dry
conditions.
Apply Pursuit a minimum of 1 hour before rainfall or over-
head irrigation.
No-till or Minimum Tillage and
Double Crop Soybeans
Pursuit controls existing weeds and provides residual con-
trol of most weeds when applied early post emergence in
no-till or minimum tillage Clearfield corn or soybean and
double crop soybean production systems. Apply before or
after emergence of the crop. Refer to postemergence appli-
cation information in Weeds Controlled (Clearfield
®
Corn) and Weeds Controlled (Soybean) tables for
weeds controlled and specified weed size.
If Pursuit is applied before emergence of the crop, and
weeds exceed the specified size, add a contact herbicide
to Pursuit to enhance control. See instructions for No-till
or Minimum Tillage in the Preemergence (Surface)
section of this label.
Use-specific Information
Alfalfa and Clover
Application Instructions
Apply Pursuit postemergence only at 3 to 6 fl ozs/A to
seedling or established alfalfa or clover grown for forage,
hay, or seed.
• Seedling Alfalfa or Clover. Pursuit must be applied
postemergence to seedling alfalfa or clover. Apply
Pursuit when seedling alfalfa or clover is in the second
trifoliate stage or larger and when the majority of weeds
are 1 to 3 inches. When applied to alfalfa or clover grown
for seed, apply Pursuit before bud formation. For low-
growing weeds (such as mustard), apply Pursuit before
the rosette exceeds 3 inches. When Pursuit is applied to
seedling alfalfa or clover, there may be a temporary
reduction in growth.
• Established Alfalfa or Clover. Pursuit can be applied
to established alfalfa or clover in the fall, in the spring to
dormant or semi-dormant alfalfa or clover (less than
3 inches of regrowth), or between cuttings. Make any
application before significant alfalfa or clover growth or
7
regrowth (3 inches) to allow Pursuit® herbicide to reach
target weeds.
Pursuit is effective in controlling a broad spectrum of
broadleaf and grass weeds. Alfalfa and clover are tolerant
to post emergence applications of Pursuit after the second
trifoliate leaf has expanded. Minor height reduction or slight
leaf yellowing may occur soon after application.
Apply Pursuit as an early post emergence treatment when
weeds are actively growing. Weeds are generally easier to
control before they exceed 3 inches in height. Weeds
under stress are less susceptible to control in cold or
drought stress conditions.
If applied to alfalfa or clover under cool conditions (40° F or
less), temporary stunting and yellowing of the crop may
occur.
Stand Establishment
Apply Pursuit after the alfalfa or clover has 2 fully expand-
ed trifoliate leaves. Weeds must not exceed the size listed
in the Weeds Controlled (Alfalfa and Clover) tables.
Pursuit may be applied to summer-seeded, fall-seeded, or
spring-seeded alfalfa or clover.
Inter-seeded Oats
Oats inter-seeded with alfalfa or clover will reduce soil ero-
sion and allow alfalfa or clover to establish. Oats, however,
can compete with alfalfa or clover. An application of
Pursuit will kill or significantly reduce the growth of oats
and allow alfalfa or clover to establish with minimal erosion
or competition from oats. Apply Pursuit to oats when oats
have 3 to 4 leaves.
Dormant Established Alfalfa or Clover
Pursuit may be applied to dormant alfalfa or clover in the
fall following the last cutting. Pursuit may also be applied
in the spring to dormant alfalfa or clover or as alfalfa or
clover breaks dormancy. Apply spring treatments before
excessive alfalfa or clover growth (less than 3 inches) to
reduce spray interference.
Growing Established Alfalfa or Clover
For weed control during the season, apply Pursuit follow-
ing alfalfa or clover cutting. Remove hay from the field and
apply Pursuit before excessive alfalfa or clover regrowth.
Perennial Grass Suppression
If perennial grass (such as orchardgrass, fescue, brome, or
timothy) is present in an alfalfa or clover stand, Pursuit will
reduce the growth and competitive effect of the grass.
Crop-specific Restrictions
• A maximum of 6 fl ozs/A of Pursuit (0.094 lb ae/A of
imazethapyr) may be applied per year to alfalfa or clover.
• DO NOT apply Pursuit at more than 4 fl ozs/A in
North Dakota or Minnesota north of Highway #210.
• DO NOT apply more than 4 fl ozs/A of Pursuit to alfalfa
or clover during the last year of the stand.
• DO NOT feed, graze, or harvest alfalfa or clover for
30 days following an application of Pursuit to alfalfa or
clover.
• Replanting - If replanting is necessary in a field previous-
ly treated with Pursuit, DO NOT plant alfalfa or clover for
4 months after Pursuit application. Refer to Rotational
Crop Restrictions section for plant-back interval of vari-
ous crops.
Weeds Controlled
When applied as directed, Pursuit will control or reduce
competition from the following weeds. Refer to Mixing
Instructions section for additive recommendations when
weeds are at the maximum specified growth stage or are
under stress.

1 Pursuit is active against many grass species. However, when heavy
grass pressure is anticipated, use Pursuit in a sequential application with
a registered post emergence grass herbicide such as Poast® herbicide
for optimum control.
2 Pursuit controls emerged woolly cupgrass only.
3 Quackgrass will be suppressed only when actively growing and before it
exceeds 7 inches in height.
Tank Mix Herbicides
To control weeds not listed on the Pursuit label, Pursuit
may be tank mixed with other approved herbicides. When
Pursuit is used in combination with another herbicide,
refer to the respective label for rates, methods of applica-
tion, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions, and
precautions. Always use in accordance with the most
restrictive label restrictions and precautions. DO NOT
exceed label rates.
Birdsfoot Trefoil
Application Instructions
Apply Pursuit postemergence only at 4 fl ozs/A to seedling
or established birdsfoot trefoil grown for forage or hay.
Apply Pursuit to birdsfoot trefoil with nonionic surfactant
(NIS) and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or ammonium
sulfate (AMS) only. DO NOT use crop oil concentrate
(COC) or methylated seed oil (MSO) in place of NIS when
applying Pursuit to birdsfoot trefoil.
• Seedling Birdsfoot Trefoil. Pursuit must be applied
postemergence to seedling birdsfoot trefoil. Apply
Pursuit when seedling birdsfoot trefoil is in the third
trifoliate stage or larger and when the majority of weeds
are 1 to 3 inches. For low-growing weeds (such as
mustard), apply Pursuit before the rosette exceeds
3 inches. When Pursuit is applied to seedling birdsfoot
trefoil, there may be a temporary reduction in growth.
• Established Birdsfoot Trefoil. Pursuit can be applied
to established birdsfoot trefoil in the fall, in the spring to
dormant or semi-dormant birdsfoot trefoil (less than
3 inches of regrowth), or between cuttings. Make any
application before significant birdsfoot trefoil growth or
regrowth (3 inches) to allow Pursuit to reach target
weeds.
Pursuit is effective in controlling a broad spectrum of
broadleaf and grass weeds. Birdsfoot trefoil is tolerant to
postemergence applications of Pursuit after the third
trifoliate leaf has expanded. Height reduction or leaf yellow-
ing may occur soon after application.
Apply Pursuit as an early postemergence treatment when
weeds are actively growing. Weeds are generally easier to
control before they exceed 3 inches in height. Weeds
under stress are less susceptible to control in cold or
drought stress conditions.
If applied to birdsfoot trefoil under cool conditions (40° F or
less), temporary stunting and yellowing of the crop may
occur.
Dormant Established Birdsfoot Trefoil
Pursuit may be applied to dormant birdsfoot trefoil in the
fall following the last cutting. Pursuit may also be applied
in the spring to dormant birdsfoot trefoil or as birdsfoot
trefoil breaks dormancy. Apply spring treatments before
excessive birdsfoot trefoil growth (less than 3 inches) to
reduce spray interference.
Growing Established Birdsfoot Trefoil
For weed control during the season, apply Pursuit follow-
ing birdsfoot trefoil cutting. Remove hay from the field and
apply Pursuit before excessive birdsfoot trefoil regrowth.
Perennial Grass Suppression
If perennial grass (such as orchardgrass, fescue, brome or
timothy) is present in a birdsfoot trefoil stand, Pursuit will
reduce the growth and competitive effect of the grass.
Crop-specific Restrictions
• A maximum of 4 fl ozs/A of Pursuit (0.063 lb ae/A of
imazethapyr) may be applied per year to birdsfoot trefoil.
• DO NOT feed, graze, or harvest birdsfoot trefoil for
30 days following an application of Pursuit to birdsfoot
trefoil.
• Replanting - If replanting is necessary in a field previous-
ly treated with Pursuit, DO NOT plant birdsfoot trefoil for
4 months following a Pursuit application. Refer to the
Rotational Crop Restrictions section on this label for
plant-back interval of various crops.
• Not for use in California.
10
Weeds Controlled
Refer to list of weeds controlled at the 4 fl ozs/A rate in
Alfalfa and Clover in Use-specific Information section
on this label.
Clearfield® Corn
Application Instructions
Apply Pursuit® herbicide only on selected field corn
hybrids (Clearfield corn) warranted by the seed company
to possess resistance and/or tolerance to direct application
of Pursuit. DO NOT apply Pursuit to corn hybrids that
lack resistance and/or tolerance to Pursuit. Contact your
seed supplier, chemical dealer, or BASF to obtain informa-
tion regarding Clearfield corn hybrids.
BASF has not tested all hybrids in which the imidazolinone
tolerance trait is claimed and cannot be responsible for
factors which are beyond its control, such as growing con-
ditions, environmental conditions, grower practices and the
specific genetics of each hybrid tolerant to Pursuit and
insecticide applications.
Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions
can exhibit various injury symptoms which may be more
pronounced if herbicides are used. Corn plants treated
with Pursuit may exhibit yellowing on new growth. Such
effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal
growth and appearance should resume within 1 to
2 weeks.
Apply Pursuit at 4 fl ozs/A for all methods of application:
early preplant, preplant incorporated, preemergence, and
postemergence (including minimum and no-till). Preplant
incorporated treatments of Pursuit are more consistent for
grass control. At this rate, 1 gallon of Pursuit will treat
32 acres of Clearfield corn. See additional state-specific
instructions for North Dakota and Minnesota (north of
Highway #210) section.
Crop-specific Restrictions
• A maximum of 4 fl ozs/A of Pursuit (0.063 lb ae/A of
imazethapyr) may be applied per year to Clearfield corn.
• DO NOT make more than one application of Pursuit per
year.
• DO NOT harvest corn (silage, fodder, or grain) for at least
45 days after Pursuit application. DO NOT graze or feed
treated corn forage, silage, fodder, or grain for at least
45 days after an application of Pursuit.
• Replanting - In the event of a crop loss because of
weather, Clearfield corn can be replanted. DO NOT
work the soil deeper than 2 inches.
• Not for use in California.
Weeds Controlled
When applied as directed, Pursuit will control or reduce
competition from the following weeds. Refer to the Mixing
Instructions section for recommendations of additives
when weeds are at the maximum specified growth stage or
are under stress.
NOTE: C = Control
R = Reduced Competition

Tank Mix Herbicides
Pursuit is active against many broadleaf and grass weed
species. However, for long-term weed management, alter-
nate mode-of-action herbicides are recommended with
Pursuit. The application of a soil-applied grass herbicide
underlay will control grass weeds not on the Pursuit label
and enhance control of certain broadleaf weeds such as
common lambsquarters.
Pursuit controls many grass species. However, when
heavy grass pressure is anticipated, a soil-applied grass
herbicide underlay (such as Outlook
® herbicide or
Prowl® H2O herbicide) is recommended for optimum
control. DO NOT incorporate Prowl H2O; apply
preemergence or early postemergence only. Pursuit may
also be used in sequential programs with registered burn-
down herbicides and/or soil-applied atrazine-containing
products.
When Pursuit is used in combination with another herbi-
cide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of
application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions
and precautions. Always use in accordance with the most
restrictive label restrictions and precautions. DO NOT
exceed label rates. DO NOT mix Pursuit with any product
containing a label prohibiting such mixtures.

Pursuit® herbicide is effective in controlling many annual
broadleaf and grass weeds in Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) and Agricultural Reserve Program (set-
aside) land seeded to forage legume cover crops: alfalfa,
birdsfoot trefoil, clover, crown vetch, kudzu, lespedeza,
lupin, milk vetch, sainfoin, trefoil, velvet bean, and vetch.
NOTE: Cover crops may also be planted into fields previ-
ously treated with Pursuit for weed control in soybeans. In
this case, DO NOT apply Pursuit to the cover crop until
the following spring.
Pursuit application may result in temporary reduction in
growth of legumes. Plants overcome temporary effects and
become well established because of reduced weed
competition.
Pursuit may be applied postemergence at 4 fl ozs/A to
seedling legumes (with at least 3 fully expanded trifoliate
leaves) or to established legumes. On established legumes,
Pursuit may be applied in the fall or spring before weeds
exceed the maximum specified size for control.
DO NOT make more than one application of Pursuit per
year.
Refer to Soybean section in Use-specific Information
for weeds controlled.
Edamame
(Vegetable Soybean)
Application Instructions
Pursuit use on edamame may lead to crop injury or loss.
Users or growers should evaluate Pursuit for crop
response on the varieties being grown to determine if
Pursuit use is acceptable.
Preplant, Preemergence, or Early Postemergence.
Apply 4 fl ozs/A of Pursuit (0.063 lb ae/A of imazethapyr)
to actively growing crop and weeds. Base application tim-
ing on weed size and crop growth stage.
When applying Pursuit early postemergence, apply
Pursuit between the first and third trifoliate stage when
weeds are less than 3-inches tall.
NIS containing at least 80% active ingredient should be
used at 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution.
Crop-specific Restrictions
• DO NOT make more than one application of Pursuit per
year.
• Replanting - If replanting is necessary in a field previous-
ly treated with Pursuit, the field may be replanted to
edamame. Rework the soil no deeper than 2 inches.
DO NOT apply a second treatment of Pursuit.
• Rotational Crop Restrictions - Edamame may be
planted anytime after applying the specified rate of
Pursuit for a labeled use.
• Not for use in California.
Weeds Controlled
For weeds controlled or suppressed in edamame, refer to
the Weeds Controlled (Soybean) table in Use-specific
Information.
Use directions for states east of and including:
Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Wyoming (except states east of and including:
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont).
Refer to the following map for geographical use area.
Application Instructions
Reduced crop growth, quality, and yield, and/or delayed
maturity may result from a Pursuit application to edible
legume vegetables. Because crop maturity may be
delayed, timing of harvest may need to be adjusted
accordingly. DO NOT apply Pursuit if planting is delayed
and chance of frost before maturity is likely.
Apply Pursuit onlyif proper agronomic practices have been
used, including good soil fertility, proper crop rotation, dis-
ease and insect management, and tillage practices that
eliminate compaction and hardpans. Plant lentils, lima beans,
or peas at least 1/2-inch deep to reduce risk of crop injury.
DO NOT apply Pursuit if cold and/or wet conditions are
present or predicted to occur within one week of
application.
DO NOT apply Pursuit postemergence to chickpea, lentil,
lima bean, or white lupin. DO NOT apply Pursuit
postemergence before crop has at least one trifoliate leaf
or peas are at least three inches in height or crop injury
(reduced crop growth and/or delayed maturity) may result.

Early Postemergence. Apply Pursuit at up to 3 fl ozs/A
to dry beans, dry edible peas, and English pea, or up to
4 fl ozs/A for southern pea only. Apply to dry beans with at
least one fully expanded trifoliate leaf. Apply to dry edible
peas, English pea, and southern pea at least 3 inches in
height but before 5 nodes and before flowering. Use of
trifluralin before Pursuit application may increase the likeli-
hood and severity of crop injury. Nonionic surfactant must
be added to the spray solution. Nonionic surfactant must
contain at least 80% active ingredient and be used at
2 pints per 100 gallons of spray mixture.
Tank Mix Herbicides
Basagran® 5L herbicide may be tank mixed with Pursuit

Application Instructions
Preplant for No-till and Minimum Tillage Systems
Only. Apply Pursuit at 3 fl ozs/A within 30 days before
planting. If incorporated, DO NOT incorporate deeper than
3 inches.
In no-till and minimum tillage systems, Pursuit may be
applied in the fall before spring planting. Rainfall is required
for incorporation and activation. Unpredictable weed con-
trol can be expected because factors such as length of
time between application and planting as well as uncontrol-
lable weather factors will determine herbicide activity and
longevity. Apply Pursuit in the fall when soil temperature at
the 4-inch depth is less than 55° F and before the ground
is frozen.
Preplant Incorporated. Apply Pursuit at 3 fl ozs/A within
1 week before planting. DO NOT incorporate deeper than
3 inches.
Preemergence. Apply Pursuit at 3 fl ozs/A after planting
but before crop emergence.
Postemergence (dry edible peas ONLY). Apply Pursuit
at 2 fl ozs/A. Nonionic surfactant must be added to the
spray solution. Nonionic surfactant must contain at least
80% active ingredient and be used at 2 pints per 100 gal-
lons of spray mixture. DO NOT apply Pursuit
postemergence before crop has at least one trifoliate leaf,
or peas are at least three inches in height, or crop injury
(reduced crop growth and/or delayed maturity) may result.
Basagran
® 5L herbicide may be tank mixed with Pursuit
to control weeds not listed on the Pursuit label. Addition of
Basagran 5L may also cause antagonism, thereby
reducing control of grass weeds. Nitrogen-based fertilizer
may be included as a spray additive ONLY when Pursuit
is tank mixed with Basagran 5L. Use liquid fertilizer at
1.25 to 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution or
AMS at 12 to 15 lbs/100 gallons of spray solution.

NOTE: C = Control
R = Reduced Competition
Maximum Leaf Stage column indicates the maximum
number of leaves to spray weeds post emergence.
DO NOT count cotyledon leaves when determining weed
stage of growth.
At-crack Application refers to the time when soil cracks
because of the emerging peanut seedling, which usually
occurs from 10 to 14 days after planting. At this time
weeds have generally not germinated or are in the seedling
stage. If weeds have more than 2 true leaves, refer to the
Postemergence weed control column for weeds
controlled.
In west Texas and New Mexico, wait until late cracking
(most of the peanuts have emerged) before applying
Pursuit.
Pursuit is active against many broadleaf and grass weeds.
However, when heavy grass or common lambsquarters
pressure is anticipated, use Pursuit in combination with a
registered soil-applied grass herbicide.
When Pursuit is soil applied to grasses, more consistent
control can be obtained from preplant incorporated
treatments.
When Pursuit is soil applied for control of nutsedge in
peanut, incorporate with two passes of the incorporation
implement. Make the second pass at an offset angle to the
first pass to minimize the potential for streaking.

Weeds Controlled by Sequential Applications of Pursuit
Sequential (split) application of Pursuit is 2 fl ozs/A of product soil applied (preplant incorporated or preemergence) fol-
lowed by 2 fl ozs/A applied at ground-crack or post emergence.
When applied as a sequential treatment, Pursuit controls weeds listed in Soil Applied and At Crack applications in the
Weeds Controlled (Peanut) table and enhances control of purple and yellow nutsedge. Apply the second application
before nutsedge exceeds 3 leaves.
Tank Mix Herbicides
Control of additional grass and/or broadleaf weeds requires a tank mix or sequential use with another herbicide. Pursuit
may be tank mixed, or used in sequence with herbicides approved for use in peanut, such as Outlook® herbicide or
Prowl® H2O herbicide. Read and follow applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all products
involved in tank mixing. Always follow the most restrictive label use directions.

Tank Mix Herbicides
Control of additional grass and/or broadleaf weeds requires
a tank mix or sequential use with another herbicide.
Pursuit may be tank mixed or used in sequence with
herbicides approved for use in soybean, such as
Outlook
® herbicide, Prowl® H2O herbicide, or
Zidua® herbicide. Read and follow applicable restrictions
and limitations and directions for use on all products
involved in tank mixing. Always follow the most restrictive
label use directions.
Grass Weeds
A selective post emergence grass herbicide such as Poast®
herbicide may be tank mixed with Pursuit to control vol-
unteer corn or grasses not controlled by Pursuit. For best
results, use crop oil concentrate AND liquid fertilizer with
grass herbicide tank mixtures.
Tank Mix with Poast. Apply Pursuit at 4 fl ozs/A. Refer
to the Poast label for the appropriate rate of Poast for
enhanced grass control and for additional weeds con-
trolled, sizes, and rates. If a mixture of grass weeds is
present, use the highest rate for the grass weeds present.
The addition of Poast to Pursuit at labeled rates will con-
trol the following annual grass weeds.
The addition of Poast to Pursuit enhances grass control,
especially when heavy infestations of grass exist. It also
provides control of grasses not controlled by Pursuit. In
some cases, the activity of Poast may be reduced when
mixed with Pursuit. The reduction in activity may be
overcome by delaying the application of Poast 7 days fol-
lowing the application of Pursuit. If Poast is applied first,
wait 3 days before applying Pursuit.
For optimum control, apply the tank mixture to actively
growing weeds at the sizes indicated in the preceding
table. For sequential applications, refer to application rates
and weeds sizes indicated in the Pursuit and Poast
labels. Refer to the Poast label for additional information
about application rates, restrictions, precautions, weeds
controlled, adjuvants recommended, and other information.

tank mixed with Pursuit to aid in control of common and
giant ragweed. See FirstRate label for specified rates and
precautions.
Tank Mix with Sulfentrazone-containing Compounds.
Pursuit provides control of many grass and broadleaf
weeds when applied to the soil or applied post emergence
to weeds. It also provides season-long control of many
weeds. Sulfentrazone-containing products (such as
Authority
® herbicide) may be tank mixed with Pursuit in
soil applications for enhanced weed control in soybeans.
Pursuit may be applied post emergence to soybeans pre-
viously treated with sulfentrazone-containing products.
NOTE: Sulfentrazone-containing products are only labeled
for soil applications to soybeans.
Tank Mix with Harmony® SG herbicide. For optimal
weed control management of common lambsquarters,
apply a soil-applied grass herbicide such as Prowl
® H2O
herbicide, or trifluralin followed by Pursuit
postemergence. If common lambsquarters are not
adequately controlled by the soil-applied treatment,
Harmony SG may be tank mixed with Pursuit for
additional activity.
Addition of Harmony SG to Pursuit may cause severe
injury and/or stunting to soybeans, especially when applied
under hot, humid conditions. The USER ASSUMES ALL
RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES associated with applica-
tions of this tank mix to soybeans.
When tank mixing Harmony SG with Pursuit, use the fol-
lowing rates:
Pursuit at 4 ozs/A AND Harmony SG at 1/24 oz/A
Add to the spray mixture:

Rotational Crop Restrictions
The following rotational crops may be planted after apply-
ing Pursuit® herbicide at the specified rate for a labeled
use. Planting earlier than the specified interval may result in
crop injury.
NOTE: See Exceptions to Rotational Crop
Restrictions following these guidelines.
Rotational Interval following Pursuit Application
* Following forty months after a Pursuit application and before planting
any crop not listed elsewhere in Rotational Crop Restrictions, a suc-
cessful field bioassay must be completed. The field bioassay consists of
a test strip of the intended rotational crop planted across the previously
treated field and grown to maturity. The test strip should include low
areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no
crop injury is evident in the test strip, the intended rotational crop may be
planted the following year.
Sugar beet production can be reduced when grown in soil conditions
with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH before planting
rotational crops not listed in the Rotational Crop Restrictions, apply
the lime at least 12 months before planting the rotational crop.
Use of Pursuit in accordance with label directions is
expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in
most situations; however, various environmental and agro-
nomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rota-
tional crop injury is always possible.
Exceptions to Rotational Crop Restrictions
All Crops
Full-rate application of products containing chlorimuron
ethyl (Classic® herbicide, etc.), chloransulam-methyl
(FirstRate® herbicide), flumetsulam (Hornet® herbicide),
imazaquin (Scepter® 70 DG herbicide), or products con-
taining imazethapyr the same year as Pursuit may
increase the risk of injury to sensitive followcrops. Consult
labels for recommended uses of these products in
combinations.
Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used for
feed or food.
Barley
• North Dakota ONLY - Barley may be planted
18 months after Pursuit application.
• Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia ONLY
- Barley may be planted 4 months after Pursuit
application.
Certain Vegetable Crops
Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia ONLY.The
following crops may be planted 18 months following the
last application of Pursuit:
Bahiagrass, cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumber, Irish potato,
onion, sweet pepper transplants, sweet potato transplants,
tomato transplants, and watermelon.
Clearfield® Canola
Clearfield varieties of canola may be planted as a rotation-
al crop the next season after an application of Pursuit at
label rates on registered crops.
Corn
• Corn Inbred Seed Lines - Corn inbred seed lines may
be planted the year following an application of Pursuit.
Several seed companies have tested a wide range of
inbreds for sensitivity to Pursuit soil residues and have
reported good crop safety. However, due to the propri-
etary nature of seed production, BASF has not been
given access to the inbred data. Growers are directed to
contact the seed company for information and recom-
mendations regarding the planting of corn grown for seed
in fields treated with Pursuit the previous year. Since

• Field Corn and Field Corn Grown for Seed -
Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Field corn and field
corn grown for seed may be planted nine and one-half
months after Pursuit application.
• Sweet Corn and Popcorn Varieties - Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin
ONLY.Sweet corn and popcorn varieties may be planted
the year following an application of Pursuit. Some sweet
corn and popcorn varieties may be injured when planted
at less than 18 months following an application of
Pursuit. Before planting sweet corn for processing, con-
tact the processor company for information and
recommendations regarding the tolerance of sweet corn
varieties planned for fields treated with Pursuit the previ-
ous year. DO NOT plant fresh market sweet corn
varieties before 18 months after Pursuit use. Before
planting popcorn, contact the popcorn company for
information and recommendations regarding the toler-
ance of popcorn varieties planned for fields treated with
Pursuit the previous year.
Since growing conditions, environmental conditions and
grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, ALL
RISKS AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
PLANTING SWEET CORN OR POPCORN VARIETIES
INTO FIELDS TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH Pursuit
SHALL BE ASSUMED BY THE USER.
Stunting and maturity delay or other adverse effects may
result when sweet corn or popcorn are planted following
Pursuit use.
Cotton
• Rotational Interval following Pursuit Application to
Alfalfa or Clover Grown for Seed
These guidelines DO NOT apply to Pursuit applications
made to alfalfa or clover grown for hay or forage (use the
18-month rotational interval).
• North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia ONLY-
Cotton may be planted nine and one-half months after an
application of Pursuit if ALL of the following criteria are
met:
- Pursuit is applied to peanuts only.
- Soil texture is sandy loam or loamy sand only.
- Greater than 16 inches of rainfall and/or irrigation is
received following application of Pursuit through
October of the application year.
Edible Legumes
After Pursuit is applied at no more than 3 fl ozs/A to edible
legumes in the use areas described, the following rotational
intervals apply:
• Chickpea, lentil, peas - plant anytime
• Snap bean - 3 months
• Barley - 4 months
Snap Bean
When applied at no more than 1.5 fl ozs/A to snap beans
in the use areas defined on this label, snap beans may be
replanted at anytime after application of Pursuit.
Wheat
In areas east of Interstate Highway I-35, wheat may be
planted 3 months following Pursuit application.
Non-Clearfield® Wheat in North Dakota
R+I = Rainfall and overhead irrigation from the time of
Pursuit application up until time of wheat planting. Does
not include furrow or flood irrigation.
If the rainfall or pH requirements are not fully met, and
non-Clearfield wheat is planted before the specified rota-
tion interval, injury may be reduced by tillage, such as deep
disking (greater than 6-inches deep) after crop harvest but
before November 1.
The possibility of injury to non-Clearfield wheat planted
the next season increases if less than normal precipitation
occurs within the first two months after Pursuit
application.
