|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Command 1.5ME, which contains the active ingredient clomazone, is a group 13 herbicide based on the mode of
|
||
action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or mor e
|
||
herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites
|
||
of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated
|
||
that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance management program.
|
||
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present.
|
||
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches) with a burndown herbicide.
|
||
• To minimize resistance, apply full labeled rates of Command 1.5ME.
|
||
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product agains t a particular weed to your FMC representative, local retailer, or
|
||
county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been
|
||
found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for
|
||
your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed.
|
||
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 13 and/or use nonchemical
|
||
methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
|
||
WĂŐĞϯŽĨϭϱ
|
||
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the her bicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on
|
||
adjacent weeds;
|
||
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
• Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
|
||
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 13 herbicides.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two applications of Command 1.5ME and any other Group 13 herbicides within a single growing season
|
||
unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mech anical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free cro p
|
||
seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
• Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
Do not drain or flush equipment on or near des irable trees or other plants, or in areas where their roots may extend or in loca tions
|
||
where the chemical may be washed or move into contact with thei r roots. Do not contaminate any body of water including irrigation
|
||
water that may be used on other crops. Carefully follow sprayer clean-up instructions noted below to prevent spray tank residues from
|
||
damaging other crops.
|
||
|
||
Sprayer equipment needs to be thoroughly rinsed to remove residues of herbicide that might injure other subsequently sprayed crops.
|
||
The steps below need to be followed for the thorough rinsing of spray equipment following applications of Command 1.5ME herbicide
|
||
or tank mixes of Command 1.5ME with other labeled products.
|
||
1) Drain any remaining spray solution from tank, pump, hoses and boom and discard in an approved manner (See Note that follows).
|
||
2) Clean tank and fittings by:
|
||
• Thoroughly hosing down the inside walls of the spray tank with a quantity of water equal to
|
||
1/8 of the total tank capacity and
|
||
operating the pump to circulate this solution through the sprayer system for 15 minutes.
|
||
• Washing down the outside surfaces of equipment.
|
||
|
||
WĂŐĞϰŽĨϭϱ
|
||
|
||
• Removing nozzle tip and screen from end nozzle in each boom section and allowing several gallons of rinsate solution to flush
|
||
completely through boom (collect rinsate while flushing).
|
||
3) Thoroughly drain remaining rinsate solution from tank, pump and hoses. Combine with boom flushing and dispose of all rinsates
|
||
from this first rinsing in an approved manner (see Note that follows).
|
||
• When switching from water dilutions to applications utilizing crop oil or liquid fertilizer as a carrier, a small volume of c rop oil
|
||
or liquid fertilizer needs to be flushed through the tank, pump, hoses, and boom prior to the next use. Dispose of crop oil or
|
||
liquid fertilizer rinsate in an approved manner (see Note for local, state and federal guidelines).
|
||
4) Remove the remaining nozzle tips, and screens and the line filter and wash in a pail of warm soapy water, thoroughly rinse and
|
||
replace.
|
||
5) Hose down the inside walls of the spray tank a second time and circulate this solution using the same procedure as noted in #2
|
||
above.
|
||
6) If the next use of the sprayer will be for applying a preemergent or preplant incorporated pesticide on any crop for which
|
||
Command 1.5ME is registered, rinsate from this second rinsing may be utilized by diluting with the water for the next pesticide
|
||
load.
|
||
HOWEVER
|
||
If the next use of the sprayer will be a postemergence applied pest icide on any crop, drain rinsate solution from this second r insing.
|
||
Retain rinsate solution for use only with a soil incorporated pesticide to be applied on a crop for which Command 1.5ME is registered.
|
||
Refill tank (after draining second rinsate solution) in accordance with postemergence product label directions.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: Dispose of excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first tank rinsing by application to cropland as described on this label. If
|
||
excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first rinsing cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, dispose of in compliance
|
||
with local, state and federal guidelines. Contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste
|
||
representative at the nearest EPA regional office for guidance.
|
||
|
||
GENERAL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Care must be taken when mixing Command 1.5ME herbicide. Avoid mixing in areas adjacent to desirable plants (See Section headed
|
||
"IMPORTANT")
|
||
|
||
Command 1.5ME Alone: Mix Command 1.5ME with water or liquid fertil izer in the following manner: Fill the spray tank one-half to
|
||
three fourths full with water or liquid fertilizer, add the proper amount of Command 1.5ME, then add the rest of the water or l iquid
|
||
fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform spray mixture.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures: Fill spray tank one-fourth to one-third full with water; with agitator operating add the specified amount of ingredients
|
||
using the following order: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e.g., flowables) next and
|
||
finally liquids (e.g., EC's). Mix thoroughly and fill tank one-half full continuing agitation. Add Command 1.5ME herbicide to tank while
|
||
maintaining agitation. Complete filling the sprayer tank with water. Where use of a surfactant is specified, add as the last ingredient to
|
||
the spray tank. Maintain agitation during filling, mixing and application. When using drift reducing agents, follow specific product label
|
||
instructions for order of addition to spray tank. 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. If
|
||
the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this Command 1.5ME herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture w ith
|
||
Command 1.5ME herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Fertilizer Spray Mixtures: Applications of Command 1.5ME alone or with tank mixtures, in Conjunction with fertilizer solutions may
|
||
beused unless use directions specifically state otherwise. Small quantities need to be tested for compatibility by the following
|
||
procedure before mixing tankful quantities.
|
||
1) Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
|
||
2) Add the appropriate amount of herbicide based on the table at the top of page 3. If more than one product is to be used, add each
|
||
separately using the following sequence: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e g.,
|
||
flowables) next and finally liquids (e.g., EC's).

||
|
||
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 u nfavorable
|
||
environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – GROUND BOOM
|
||
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray
|
||
volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
|
||
equipment, the boom should remain level with 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. Temperatur e 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.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Non-target spray drift of Command 1.5ME herbicide must be avoided to prevent whitening of desirable plants. Drift is influenced by
|
||
many factors which include wind speed, spray pressure, particle size, nozzle type, and boom height. The use of an
|
||
|
||
WĂŐĞϲŽĨϭϱ
|
||
|
||
agriculturally approved drift reducing additive is advised. Follow specific product label instructions for the order of addition of all
|
||
products to the spray tank. Small quantities need to be tested for compatibility before mixing tankful quantities.
|
||
x A minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre is require d with appropriate nozzle types and sizes that produce coarser
|
||
sprays.
|
||
x Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure.

ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Under some conditions, temporary whitening or yellowing of leaves may occur on approved rotational crops where undesirable soil
|
||
residues of Command 1.5ME exist.
|
||
|
||
Under abnormal conditions, carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The following factors can contribute to increased risk of
|
||
injury to rotational crops:
|
||
|
||
1) Exceeding label required rates.
|
||
2) Overapplication resulting from use of worn nozzles, excessiv e overlapping of spray swaths, failing to shut off spray booms
|
||
when turning (end row areas), or slowing or stopping sprayer.
|
||
3) Soil with pH less than or equal to 5.9.
|
||
4) Extreme dryness in the four months following application.,
|
||
5) Use of organophosphate soil insecticide followed by use of some postemergence corn herbicides.
|
||
6) Choice of rotational crop hybrid.
|
||
|
||
Additional instructions to prevent rotational crop injury may be provided in the form of service bulletins for location where risk of
|
||
injury is significantly increased due to extremely dry conditions.
|
||
|
||
Refer to Rotational Crop Guidelines and Replanting Instructions of specific crops for additional crop planting information.
|
||
|
||
SPECIAL PRECAUTION
|
||
Off-site movement of spray drift or vapors of Command 1.5ME herbicide can cause foliar whitening or yellowing of some plants.
|
||
Prior to making applications read and strictly follow all precautions and application instructions on this label.
|
||
|
||
|
||
GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
Broadcast or Banded Applications: Apply Command 1.5ME alone or in tank mix combinations by ground equipment using a finished
|
||
spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre. NOTE: The use of an agriculturally approved drift reducing additive is
|
||
advised. Use nozzles suitable for broadcast boom or banded application of herbicides. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out of the
|
||
target area than fine sprays. For Command 1.5ME tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, nozzle screens
|
||
and strainers need to be no finer than 50-mesh. 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 invo lved in
|
||
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
Banded Applications-Calculate the rates and volumes required by using the following formulas:
|
||
|
||
Band width in inches
|
||
Row width in inches X Broadcast Rate Per Acre = Band rate per acre

Cultivation After Planting
|
||
Soil treated with Command 1.5ME may be shallow-cultivated, rotary hoed or hand-hoed without reducing the weed control activity of
|
||
Command 1.5ME. Avoid deep cultivation which may bring untreated soil to the surface and result in poor weed control.
|
||
|
||
COMMERCIAL IMPREGNATION AND APPLICAT ION OF COMMAND 1.5ME ON DRY BULK
|
||
FERTILIZERS
|
||
Command herbicide may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizers. When applied as directed Command/dry bulk fertilizer mixtures
|
||
provide weed control equal to that provided by the same rates of Command applied in water.
|
||
|
||
Impregnation: Apply using a minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 pounds per acre with
|
||
the specified amount of Command 1.5ME herbicide per acre. Use a closed rotary-drum mixer or a similar type of closed blender
|
||
equipped with suitable spray equipment. The spray nozzle(s) needs to be positioned to provide a uniform, fine spray pattern over the
|
||
tumbling fertilizer for thorough coverage. The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particularly in liquid absorptive capac ity. When
|
||
absorptivity is sufficient, simple spray impregnation of the fertilizer with Command provides a satisfactory, dry mixture. If the absorptive
|
||
capacity is inadequate use of a highly absorptive powder is required to provide a dry, flowable mixture. Microcel E (Johns-Manv ill
|
||
Products Corporation) is a suggested absorbent powder. General ly, less than 2% by weight of Microcel E is required. DO NOT
|
||
impregnate Command 1.5ME onto straight coated ammonium nitrate or st raight limestone because these materials will not absorb
|
||
the herbicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnated with Command.
|
||
|
||
The amount of Command actually required in the preparation of individual fertilizer mixtures needs to be determined carefully for each
|
||
production operation. This is necessary to ensure that the amount of pesticide actually contained in the mixture applied to the soil
|
||
represents the correct rate of use. Bulk fertilizer impregnated with Command 1.5ME herbicide needs to be applied immediately, n ot
|
||
stored. All state regulations, labeling, etc., of the mixtures are the responsibility of the seller.
|
||
For those rates not listed in the following table, calculate the amount of Command to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk ferti lizer
|
||
using the following formula:
|
||
|
||
2000
|
||
Pounds dry fertilizer

PRECAUTIONS FOR DRY BULK FERTILIZER IMPR EGNATION AND APPLICATION WITH COMMAND
|
||
1.5ME
|
||
|
||
• All equipment used to apply Command 1.5 ME must be thoroughly cleaned immediately following use to ensure no
|
||
contamination results which could cause inju ry to non-labeled crops or desirable vegetation. Refer to "Sprayer Cleanup"
|
||
section for additional details and disposal of rinsates.
|
||
• Equipment used to physically transport Command 1.5 ME treat ed fertilizer, including boots, augers, conveyers, bins, etc.
|
||
must be covered to prevent loss of fine particles and subjected to cleanup procedures previously described.
|
||
• Mixing of Command herbicide and dry fertilizer must be conduct ed in a blender which will ensure that airborne particles and
|
||
potential for volatilization are avoided.
|
||
• Bulk containers must be tightly covered while the product is being transported and applied to reduce chances of Command
|
||
volatilization or product loss.
|
||
|
||
Restriction: Dry Bulk Fertilizer impregnation operations using Command 1.5ME must not be conducted within ¼ mile of residential
|
||
areas or areas where Command 1.5ME symptomology on desirable vegetation would not be tolerated.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANTING TIME APPLICATIONS
|
||
DO NOT apply Command 1.5ME Herbicide to cotton unless either disulfoton or phorate organophosphate insecticide is applied in-
|
||
furrow with the seed at planting time at a minimum of 0.75 pound per acre of active ingredient. Do not reduce the application rate of
|
||
the organophosphate insecticide when Command 1.5ME herbicide is applied as a banded treatment. Failure to apply either disulfoton
|
||
or phorate insecticides with Command in accordance with in-furrow label use directions can result in crop phytotoxicity (bleach ing)
|
||
and/or stand reduction. Combinations of at planting systemic granular carbamate and organophosphate insecticides in conjunction
|
||
with Command may result in injury to cotton. Crop injury may occur with higher Command rates on sandy soils. Diuron must not be
|
||
used at planting when Command is used as p lant injury may result. Refer to the inse cticide product labels for appropriate in-fu rrow
|

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
Command 1.5ME herbicide may be utilized as a preemergent soil applied treatment for the control of annual grass and broadleaf
|
||
weeds in soybeans. Command 1.5ME herbicide may be tank mixed with other preemergent soybean herbicides to broaden the weed
|
||
control spectrum compared to the products applied alone. I t 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. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this Command 1.SME herbicide label, do not use in a tank
|
||
mixture with Command 1.SME herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Water or liquid fertilizer may be used as a carrier for Comman d 1.5ME when applied alone, or when tank mixed with the herbicide s
|
||
listed above, unless use directions specifically state otherwise.
|
||
|
||
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
If initial seeding of soybeans fails to produce a stand, soybeans ma y be replanted in fields treated with Command 1.5ME alone ( or
|
||
with tank mixtures). DO NOT retreat field with a second applic ation of Command 1.5ME. When tank mixing with a labeled product
|

COMMAND® 1.5ME HERBICIDE APPLIED IN COMBINATIONS FOR SOYBEANS
|
||
Command 1.5ME herbicide may be tank mixed with other soybean herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum compared to the products
|
||
applied alone. FMC makes no claims as to weed control for any combination of rates or products other than as specified in this label. Please
|
||
check with your dealer for more recent FMC technical bulletins and label supplements. When applying mixtures of Command 1.5ME with other
|
||
herbicides, 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. If the instructions on the tank mix
|
||
partner label conflict with this Command 1.5ME herbicide label, do not use in a tank mixture with Command 1.5ME herbicide.
