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
x 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.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet
size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
x 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.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not
interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude
and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or
by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates
good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
USE RESTRICTIONS
x Do not apply OD 70 Herbicide to crops undersown with grass or legume species.
x Do not make more than a total of one application of OD 70 Herbicide per 365 days.
x Do not apply more than 6.85 fl oz/acre of OD 70 Herbicide per 365 days.
x Do not apply in combination with Dicamba containing products as grass control will be reduced.
x DO NOT apply OD 70 Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
x Do not drain or rinse equipment near desirable vegetation.
x Do not apply to winter, spring or durum wheat after jointing.
x Do not harvest or graze wheat forage within 7 days after application.
x Do not harvest wheat for hay within 30 days after application.
x Do not harvest wheat for grain or straw within 60 days after application in Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, or South Dakota;
and within 70 days in all other states.
USE PRECAUTIONS
x Avoid spray drift from treated areas. Refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information.
x OD 70 Herbicide is rainfast 1 hour after application to most weed species. Rainfall within 1 hour may result in reduced weed
control.
6
x Non-target plants may be adversely affected if the pesticide is al lowed to drift from areas of application. To prevent damage to
crops and other desirable plants, read and follow all directions and precautions on this label before using.
x Environmental conditions which support vigorous growth of crop and weeds also result in highest herbicidal activity. Following
application, symptoms of herbicidal activity may develop within several days. Speed of action depends on environmental
conditions and increases with increasing temperature and moisture.
x Applications of OD 70 Herbicide in winter, spring or durum wheat in combination with some EC herbicides may cause crop
response (see tankmix section).
x Applications during low temperatures (32 Fº or lower), high tem peratures (90 Fº or greater), or to a crop under drought stress
can cause crop injury.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
x Weed infestations should be treated before they become competitive with the crop. Make applications to actively growing
weeds. Thorough coverage of weeds is necessary to obtain good weed control. Weed control may be reduced when weeds
are under stress due to severe weather conditions, drought, very cold temperatures, etc.
x Properly calibrate ground or aerial (fixed wing or helicopter) application equipment to apply OD 70 Herbicide postemergence
as a foliar spray. Use of nozzles and spray pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle
manufacturers catalogs and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572 for optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration.
x Avoid uneven spray distribution, skips, overlaps, and spray drift.
Aerial Application
Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. OD 70 Herbicide should be applied in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per broadcast acre.
To get uniform spray coverage, use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
manufacturers catalogs and in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles.
Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with low drift nozzles. Avoid
application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of OD 70 Herbicide.
Ground Application
Apply OD 70 Herbicide broadcast in 10 or more gallons of water per acre.
To obtain uniform spray coverage, use nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
manufacturers catalogs and in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. Use screens that are 50 mesh or larger. See the Spray Drift
Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of OD 70 Herbicide.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, OD 70 Herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally
resistant to OD 70 Herbicide 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.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of OD 70 Herbicide 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.
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target
weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as
the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which
active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related
to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop
seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-
competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possibl e
herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
(3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed
production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or
tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
between fields, and planting clean seed.
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to
another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
Compatibility
If OD 70 Herbicide is to be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers or other pesticides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing. To test for
compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the
anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility
usually will appear within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow all parts of the label of each tank-mix product.
Tank Mix Instructions
For control of weeds not listed on this label, OD 70 Herbicide may be mixed with other herbicides with the exception of dicamba
containing products. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

OD 70 Herbicide may be applied with Baythroid®XL, Mustang Max or Warrior® insecticides. Refer to the specific insecticide label for use
directions, application rates, restrictions and a list of insects controlled.
Order of Mixing
OD 70 Herbicide must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipment. Prior to adding OD 70 Herbicide to the spray tank,
ensure that the spray tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned. In-line strainers and nozzle screens should be 50 mesh or
coarser.
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 full with clean water and begin agitation or bypass.
2. Add the specified rate of OD 70 Herbicide directly to the spray tank. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and
application. DO NOT pre-slurry by adding any quantity of OD 70 Herbicide to a small amount of water.
3. Add a listed tank mix partner, if desired.
4. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed.
5. Continue agitation during OD 70 Herbicide application to ensure uniform spray coverage.
NOTE: OD 70 Herbicide may settle if left standing without agitation. If the spray solution is allowed to stand for one hour or more, re-
agitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before application.
8
Equipment Cleanup Procedures
1. Drain the tank completely, and then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of 1% (i.e., 1 g allon
of domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Complete filling of the tank with water. Agitate/recirculate and flush
through boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
3. Repeat step 2.
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1% ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and remove visible
residues.
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat step 2.

Cover Crops
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression, etc., following harvest in the fall is
increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with OD 70 Herbicide is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed by
livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically controlled with burndown herbicides in the
spring. Many cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after application of OD 70 Herbicide. However, all potential cover crops
have not been evaluated for tolerance to OD 70 Herbicide and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete a
successful field/ small scale bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance to the prior OD 70 Herbicide application. Refer to
the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section.
Field/Small Scale Bioassay
A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those specified in the “Rotational Crop
Restrictions” section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow the following
season in a field previously treated with OD 70 Herbicide. The test strip should be placed in a controlled area and should include low
areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in
the test strips can be grown safely in the areas previously treated with OD 70 Herbicide.
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the OD 70 Herbicide- treated field and place the soil
into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place the container in a warm, sunny area to allow
germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover crop over a three to four week period. If the cover crop emerges and
grows normally, the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the OD 70 Herbicide-treated field should be tolerable.
9
WEEDS CONTROLLED & PARTIALLY CONTROLLED
OD 70 Herbicide effectively controls the following weeds when applied at the application timings recommended and when weeds are
actively growing. Best control is achieved when grass weeds are treated between the 1-leaf to 2-tiller stage of growth and broadleaf
weeds are between the 1-6 leaf stage of growth, unless otherwise indicated. OD 70 Herbicide will have an effect on weeds that are
larger than the recommended leaf stage; however the speed of activity and level of control may be reduced.
