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.

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).

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 manufacturers 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 users 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.
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 25 gallons of water. Many commercial spray tank
cleaners may be used.
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank,
including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning
solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation
in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be
removed from the spraying system.
4. Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1 to 3 in an appropriate manner.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5.
7. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution after completing the above
procedures.
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
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:
1. 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.
2. Liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) may be used as the carrier for pre-emergence applications.
3. 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.
4. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, add AMS and agitate until completely dispersed.
5. 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.
6. If tank-mixing, add the tank-mix product next.
7. 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.

SORGHUM (GRAIN AND SWEET)
Pre-emergence Application
This product can be applied pre-emergence or pre-plant non-incorporated up to 21 days before planting sorghum for
control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 2.
Apply this product pre -emergence at a rate of 6.0 to 6.4 fluid ounces ( 0.188 lb. a.i. to 0.2 lb. a.i.) per acre as a
broadcast non-incorporated application prior to sorghum emergence. Applying this product less than 7 days before
sorghum planting will increase the risk of crop injury especially if irrigation or rainfall is received following the
application. Injury symptoms include temporary bleaching of newly emerging sorghum leaves. Applying this product
more than 7 days (but not more than 21) prior to planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
If this product is applied prior to planting, minimize disturbance of the herbicide treated soil barrier during the planting
process in order to lessen the potential for weed emergence. If emerged weeds are present at the time of the pre -
emergence application, it is advised that a Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v or a Crop
Oil Concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at a rate of 1% v/v be added to the spray solution. In addition to COC or NIS,
a spray grade Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) at a rate of 2.5% v/v or Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) at a rate of 8.5 pounds
per 100 gallons of spray solution can be added to the spray solution.
Restrictions for Pre-emergence Application
1. DO NOT apply more than 6.4 fluid ounces of this product (0.2 lb. a.i.) per acre per year.
2. DO NOT apply more than 6.4 fluid ounces of this product (0.2 lb. a.i.) per application.
3. DO NOT apply this product to emerged sorghum or severe crop injury may occur.
4. DO NOT use this product in the production of Forage sorghum, Sudangrass, Sorghum-Sudangrass hybrids or
dual purpose sorghum.

Highway 277.
7. DO NOT make more than one application per year.
Post-directed Application
This product can be applied post-directed to grain sorghum for control or partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1.
For best results, apply this product to actively growing weeds.
Apply this product at a rate of 3 fluid ounces (0.094 lb. a.i.) per acre as a post -directed application when the grain
sorghum is a minimum of 8 inches tall. Make the application by directing the spray between the c rop rows and
towards the base of the grain sorghum plant. Direct application of this product onto grain sorghum foliage can result in
crop injury including temporary bleaching. If crop injury does occur, newly emerging leaves following application are
typically unaffected.
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v or a crop oil concentrate (COC) type adjuvant at a
rate of 1% v/v be added to the spray solution. In addition to COC or NIS, a spray grade Urea Ammonium Nitrate
(UAN) at a rate of 2.5% v/v or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at a rate of 8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solution can
be added to the spray solution.
This product may be tank -mixed with other herbicides registered for grain sorghum for improved spectrum of weed
control. Additionally, these tank -mixtures can be used to include a herbicide with a different mode of action to help
