PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS CAUTION Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling, and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
User Safety Requirements: Applicators and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks and chemical-resistant gloves (Barrier Laminate, Butyl Rubber, ≥ 14 mils, Nitrile Rubber ≥ 14 mils, Neoprene Rubber ≥ 14 mils, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils and Viton ≥ 14 mils). Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: • Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils a nd soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of mesotr ione from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation i s expected to occur within 48 hours.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY Mesotrione is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS DO NOT use with or store near any oxidizing or reducing agents. DO NOT mix or allow coming in contact with oxidizing agents or reducing agents. Hazardous chemical reaction may occur.
PRODUCT INFORMATION MST 4 SC is a systemic pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide for the selective contact and residual control of broadleaf weeds in Field corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans . When used pre -emergence, weeds take up the product through the soil during emergence. Dry conditions following application may reduce the pre-emergence activity of this product. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is not received within 7 to 10 days after a pre -emergence application, where appropriate, rotary hoeing is suggested to activate the herbicide. When used post -emergence, susceptible weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease growth soon after application. Complete death of the weeds may take up to 2 weeks. The product is absorbed through the soil and/or by the foliage of emerged weeds.
This product is not effective for the control of most grass weeds. Pre -emergence grass herbicides or post-emergence grass herbicides can be tank-mixed with this product to provide broad spectrum weed control in corn (see appropriate section of label for this information). This product can be applied post -emergence following a pre -emergence grass herbicide application. This product can also be used in combination with a burndown herbicide prior to planting to provide added burndown and residual weed control in Field corn, Sorghum, and Soybeans.
4 AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS. DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves and shoes plus socks. NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses. DO NOT enter treated areas until sprays have dried. 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 workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf weed species with resistance to triazines, glyphosate, PPO, HPPD and ALS inhibiting herbicides are known to exist. Performance of this product is not affected by the presence of biotypes resistant to triazines, glyphosate, PPO or ALS inhibiting herbicides. To prevent the risk of weeds developing resistance to this product in corn, always use full labeled rates. If applying this product post-emergence after a mesotrione containing pre-emergence herbicide, always add atrazine as a tank-mix partner. No more than 0.24 lb. of mesotrione active ingredient may be applied per acre of corn per year (equivalent of 7.7 fl. oz. of this product per acre per year). If additional herbicide must be applied, use a herbicide with a different mode of action, i.e., other than an HPPD inhibitor (Group 27 Herbicide). Apply this product at full label rates to help prevent selection for or population shifts toward marginally resistant weed species and/or species biotypes.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of MST 4 SC or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. • Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance -prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance -prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. • Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. • Scout 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 like hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed. • If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management directions for specific crops and weed biotypes. • For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact a Bayer representative at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866- 992-2937).
5 INTEGRATED PEST (WEED) MANAGEMENT Integrate this product into an overall weed and pest management strategy whenever the use of a herbicide is required. Practices known to reduce weed development (tillage, crop competition) and herbicide use (weed scouting, proper application timing, banding) must be followed wherever possible. Consult local agricultural and weed authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area.
RESTRICTIONS • DO NOT apply this product to White popcorn or Ornamental (Indian) corn. • DO NOT cultivate corn within 7 days before or after application of this product as weed control may be reduced. • DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system unless specified otherwise under the specific crop section on the label. • DO NOT apply this product with suspension fertilizers as the carrier. • DO NOT use aerial application to apply this product.
USE PRECAUTIONS • Post-emergence applications of this product in tank-mixes with emulsifiable concentrate grass herbicides may cause severe corn injury or yield loss under adverse weather conditions. • Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied post-emergence to corn that was treated with terbufos or chlorpyrifos. • Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied foliar post-emergence to corn in a tank mix with any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide. • Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide is applied foliar post- emergence within 7 days before or 7 days after application of this product. • When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the weeds are not actively growing. Weed escapes or regrowth may occur when application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if an application of this product is made following label directions when weeds are actively growing. • This product may be applied with pyrethroid type insecticides (e.g., lambda-cyhalothrin).
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications: • DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boomless Ground Applications: • Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or courser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 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 SIDES 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 o 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. o Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure specified for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. o Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft o Adjust Nozzles – Follow nozzle manufacturer’s directions for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles must be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
6 • 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 must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. • 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.
WINDBLOWN SOIL PARTICLES This product 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 affect the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, v egetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
APPLICATION INFORMATION PRE-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION Apply this product pre-emergence with a carrier volume of 10 to 60 gallons per acre. Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type and must provide accurate and uniform application. Apply in a spray volume of 10 to 60 gallons per acre using water or liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) as the carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
POST-EMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and must provide accurate and uniform application. Good weed coverage is essential for optimum weed control. Apply in a spray volume of 10 to 30 gallons per acre using water as a carrier. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 20 gallons. Flat fan nozzles of 80 o or 110o are advised for optimum post -emergence coverage. DO NOT use floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for post-emergence applications. Nozzles may be angled forward 45o to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that all in- line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
SPRAY ADDITIVES
POST-EMERGENCE ADJUVANTS The following directions for adjuvant are intended primarily for use of this product in corn. Refer to the use directions section of each crop section for specific adjuvant directions.
POST-EMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO FIELD CORN For post-emergence applications made after the crop has emerged, add Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) to the spray
7 solution at the rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water (1.0% v/v). The use of a Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) at 1 quart per 100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v) instead of COC is allowed, but the weed control achieved with COC is consistently better than NIS. The use of Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants for post -emergence applications of this product may cause severe crop injury to occur. DO NOT use MSO adjuvants for post-emergence use unless directed for a specific tank -mix under the “THIS PRODUCT IN TANK -MIXTURES FOR CORN” section of this label or unless permitted by a supplemental label for this product . In addition to COC, always add spray grade Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray solution at a rate of 2.5% (v/v) or Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solution, except if precluded elsewhere on this label or by a supplemental label for this product.
PRE-EMERGENCE ADJUVANTS For pre-plant or pre-emergence applications of this product and where weeds are present, the use of any adjuvant for agricultural use is permitted. In these situations, MSO type adjuvants are typically better than COC type adjuvants, which are typically better than NIS type adjuvants for enhancing weed control. UAN or AMS can be added and typically provides better weed control than not addi ng one of these. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT Cleaning Equipment After Application of this Product Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
- Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
- Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 25 gallons of water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
- Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
- Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
- Dispose of rinsate from steps 1 to 3 in an appropriate manner.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5.
- Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the above procedures.
- Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
MIXING PROCEDURES Refer to the “CROP USE DIRECTIONS” sections of this label for tank-mixes. Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. DO NOT tank-mix this product with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution or adjuvant not listed on the label without testing compatibility as poor mixing may result. Test the compatibility of any tank -mix combination on a small scale for example when a jar test is done before actual tank-mixing. Follow the mixing instructions for adding this product to the spray tank:
- Only use sprayers in good running condition with good agitation. Ensure the sprayer is cleaned according to instructions on the label of the product used prior to this product. For post -emergence applications, use only clean water for the spray solution. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. DO NOT use screens finer than 50 mesh.
- Liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) may be used as the carrier for pre-emergence applications.
- Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water and engage agitator. Agitation must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure.
- When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, add AMS and agitate until completely dispersed.
- Next, add this product slowly and agitate until completely dissolved. Wait at least 1 minute after the last of this product has been added to the tank to allow for complete dispersion. A longer agitation period may be required to disperse this product when using cold water from sources, for example, deep drilled wells.
- If tank-mixing, add the tank-mix product next.
- Finally, add adjuvant and UAN if needed and then continue to fill tank to desired level with water.
8 WEEDS CONTROLLED This product applied as directed in this label will control or partially control the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2. Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control (good to poor) or consistent control at a level below what is considered acceptable for commercial weed control. For best post-emergence results, apply this product to actively growing weeds. Dry weather following pre-emergence application of this product may reduce residual weed control effectiveness. If irrigation is available, apply 0.5 to 1 inch of water after pre-emergence application. If irrigation is not available, make a uniform shallow cultivation as soon as weeds emerge. This product applied alone or in mixture with atrazine will not provide consistent or effective control of weeds identified as resistant to post-emergence HPPD inhibiting herbicides. Refer to the crop sections on this label for specific rates and use directions.
