WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Spartan herbicide, which contains the active ingredient sulfentrazone is a group 14 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 for weeds for identification of species and sizes.
· 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).
· Apply full rates of Spartan herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to
minimize weed escapes.
· Scout fields after application to detect any poor performance or likely resistance in weeds.
· Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
· Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your local retailer or county extension agent.
· Contact your 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 condi tions.
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 14 and/or use nonchemical
methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
· Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide 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 14 herbicides.
· Avoid making more than two applications of Spartan herbicide and any other Group 14 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 mechanical 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.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Spartan Herbicide is a selective soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds. Sparta n
Herbicide is formulated as a 75% water dispersible granule containing the active ingredient, sulfentrazone. If adequate moisture
(1/2" to 1") from rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days after the Spartan treatment, a shallow incorporation
may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When activating moisture is received after dry conditions, Spartan will provide a
reduced level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. Soil applications of Spartan must be made before crop seed germination
to prevent injury to the emerging crop seedlings. When applications after planting are delayed, injury may occur if seeds are
germinating or if they are located near the soil surface. Under extended periods of dry weather, adequate weed control may not b e
achieved.
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting directions, rotational crop guidelines
and other label information of each product when tank mixing with Spartan.
Proper handling instructions: Spartan Herbicide may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells
and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. Th is
setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pads or properly diked
mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or
containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the
heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any
product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface wa ter
shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped t o
facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest
pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclu de
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pestic ide
container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above
specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site .
States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.

Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, sp ray
mixtures or rinsates.
PRODUCT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Spartan Herbicide may be applied to soil as a preplant incorpor ated treatment or as a pre-emergence (prior to weed and/or crop
emergence) surface application. Additional application methods include post-plant treatments, over-the-top and layby, in variou s
crops. Application methods are defined in the following Crop Use Directions sections.
Preplant incorporated treatments require a uniform surface application followed by incorporation. Do not incorporate to a depth greater
than 2 inches which may result in poor weed control. Care must be taken not to create overlaps in treated zones due to soil movement,
which will result in excessive Spartan Herbicide rates that could result in adverse crop response.
All soil applications and the residual activity of post-plant applications of Spartan Herbicide require adequate moisture for he rbicidal
activation. The ultimate amount of moisture, whether supplied by rainfall or irrigation, is dependent on several factors. These factors
include but are not limited to existing soil moisture at applicati on, soil type, organic matter and tilth. In crop situations de pendent on
rainfall, Spartan Herbicide can await activating moisture for extended periods (10 to 14 days or longer) depending on the soil
parameters described above. Once activated, Spartan Herbicide will provide activity on existing weeds. The level of activity will depend
on the weed species and their size at time of activation. Where irrigation is not available and rainfall has not provided activ ation,
particularly for surface applications of Spartan Herbicide, a shallow incorporation is recommended for destruction of any germinating
weeds and to incorporate Spartan Herbicide. Herbicide incorporation will initiate the process of activation with existing soil moisture.
In circumstances where prolonged periods without rainfall and/or irrigation is not possible, alternative or additional weed management
practices (cultivation or post-applied herbicides) may be required.
Extreme care must be exercised and the Crop Specific Use Directions followed exactly in crops allowing post plant applications of
Spartan Herbicide. Over-the-top and lay-by applications will pr ovide contact and residual weed control, depending on species. T he
addition of surfactants may increase contact weed control performance but may also increase the risk of adverse crop response a s
well.
SPARTAN HERBICIDE PRODUCT USE RATES
The following directions for the selection of Spartan Herbicide application rates are critical to achieve maximum performance an d to
insure maximum crop safety. The user is required to read and follow the specific Spartan use directions and restrictions for each crop
as defined in subsequent sections of this label. The user is cautioned that some crops respond differently to Spartan Herbicide. This
response is governed by the Spartan Herbicide application rate, various soil factors and inherent crop sensitivity. The Crop Spe cific
Use Directions have been designed to minimize the risk of adverse crop response while maintaining optimum weed control.
Mode of Action
Sulfentrazone, the active ingredient in Spartan Herbicide, is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme Protoporpyrinogen Oxidase IX (PPO IX)
required for the formation of chlorophyll. Inhibition of PPO IX enzyme results in the liberation of singlet oxygen (O) that, in turn, disrupts
cellular membranes and causes cellular leakage. The ultimate manifestation of the process is cellular death leading to plant de ath.
The selective herbicidal activity of sulfentrazone is based on its greater affinity for the PPO IX enzyme in weed species versu s crop
plants.
Mechanism of Action
Following the application of Spartan Herbicide to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up sulfentrazone from the soil solut ion.
The amount of sulfentrazone in soil solution, and available for w eed uptake, is determined primarily by soil type, organic matt er and
soil pH. Sulfentrazone adsorbs to the clay and organic matter (OM) fractions of soils; effectively limiting the amount of active ingredient
immediately available to control weeds. Soils typically increase in clay content through the series from coarse to fine as noted in the
following Soil Classification Chart.

Influence of Soil type, organic matter and pH on Spartan Use Rates and Crop Response
Soil organic matter content can vary widely and independently of soil type and requires an accurate analysis of representative s oil
samples to determine its content.
Soil pH also exerts a dramatic affect on sulfentrazone availabilit y in the soil solution. As soil pH increases, sulfentrazone a vailability
increases. Accurate soil pH information will require an accurate analysis of representative soil samples.
The total amount of sulfentrazone available in solution, in any given soil, is determined by the interaction of soil type (particularly clay
content), % organic matter and pH. The application timing (relative to the emergence of the crop and weeds) and amount of rain fall
and/or irrigation received will ultimately determine, in conjunction with the soil parameters and pH, the amount of sulfentrazone in soil
solution. It is important to note that Spartan Herbicide can await activating moisture. However, diminished weed control may res ult
due to the successive increase in weed growth versus timing of activation.
Spartan Herbicide Page 5
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a Spartan Herbicide soil application can also
significantly increase the amount of sulfentrazone available in the soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH greater than 7.5 could
result in adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial Spartan Herbicide application rate, timing, amount and
pH of irrigation water and sensitivity of the crop and its grow th stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen
with the advance in growth stage among most crops.
The following Crop Specific Use Directions have been designed with specific Spartan Herbicide instructions for each crop based on
the soil type, soil organic matter, and soil pH interactions described above. The user is cautioned that crop tolerance and weed control
performance are based on strict adherence to these instructions.
SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Application
Utilize a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted to provide optimum
spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressu res. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine sp ray
droplets to avoid spray drift or inadequate foliar and/or soil coverage. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per ac re by
ground. When tank mixed with a contact burndown herbicide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume of 15 gallons
per acre. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning while spraying may result in excessive
application and subsequent crop response.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Aerial Application
Use Restrictions
Aerial application is allowed only when environmental conditions prohibit ground application. When this product is allowed to be
applied by air, applicator must use a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. The maximum release height must be 10
feet from the top of the canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
These requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications. These requirements do not apply to
forestry applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed ¾ the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Observe the regulations of the State where applications are made.
4. Applicators must observe and abide by the requirements of the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMETAL CONDITONS.
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 for pesticide performance. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but will not
prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. (See information on Wind,
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in subsequent sections). Select nozzles and application pressure that
deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturers recommendations and in accordance
with ASABE Standard S-572. Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when used as a preemergent/preplant application. Select
medium to very coarse droplet size when used postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide. Do not apply as spray droplets
smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASAE standard).
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
Volume Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the greatest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flow generally produce
larger droplets.
Pressure - When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles rather than increasing spray pressure.
Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturers recommended pressures. Lower pressure produces larger droplets in many types of
nozzles.
Number of Nozzles Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation For aerial application, the recommended practice is to orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to
the airstream. This orientation usually produces larger droplets as compared to other nozzle orientations. Significant nozzle deflection
from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce
larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles for both ground and aerial applications. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back
usually produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift potential in aerial applications
Spartan Herbicide Page 6
Boom Length For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than ¾ of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height - Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plant canopy
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 aerial 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 compensate for this displacement by the path of the aircraft upwind .
Swath adjustment or offset distance should increase when conditions favor increased drift potential (higher winds, smaller drop lets,
etc).
Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to 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 may potentially 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 conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion 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 due to the low speed and variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common during conditions of limited cloud cover and little to no wind.
They often begin to form as the sun sets and may often continue into the morning. The presence of a temperature inversion may be
indicated by ground fog. However if fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator
can also identify inversions. Smoke that remains in layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low speed wind
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas The pesticide should only be applied when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).
Off-Target Movement of Spartan Herbicide
Drift of dilute spray mixtures containing Spartan Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental conditions,
correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will significantly diminish the risk of off-target spray drift.
Spartan Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by drift on to sensitive crops and other plants. This symptomology may
manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by Spartan Herbicide drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of the
spray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dosage of sulfentrazone) and also depending on the inherent sensi tivity
of the plants involved, these spots or lesions may or may not coalesce. These effects will usually not have lasting effects on plant
growth, but will likely reduce the value of affected fruit or foliage where grade or quality is associated with appearance. In severe drift
instances with particularly sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage could result. Failure to follow these guidelines an d
environmental prohibitions that then result in off-target movement or drift of Spartan Herbicide on to unintended crops or plant s,
irrespective of severity, constitutes misapplication of this product. FMC accepts no responsibility or liability for potential crop effects
that may result from such misapplication of Spartan Herbicide.
Chemigation Application
Spartan Herbicide may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, solid set, or hand
move irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Do not connect any irrigation system
(including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal
residues on or in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should
contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation
system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and ma ke
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a Spartan Herbicide soil application can also
significantly increase the amount of sulfentrazone available in soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH greater than 7 .5 could
result in adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial Spartan Herbicide application rate, application timing,
amount and pH of the irrigation water, and the sensitivity of the crop and the growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop
response will lessen with advancing growth stages of most crops.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional,
automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must
also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to
the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatica lly or
manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and
constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Spartan Herbicide should be metered into the irrigation system continuously for the duration of the water application. Sparta n
Herbicide should be diluted in sufficient volume to insure accurate application over the area to be
Spartan Herbicide Page 7
treated. Use the appropriate amount of water to carry the product to the soil surface. Continuous agitation is required to ma intain
product suspension in the solution tank. A jar test should be conducted to ensure that phase separation would not occur during
dilution and application. Failure to achieve a uniform dilution throughout the time of application may result in undesirable residues or
less than desirable weed control. Flush the lines at the completion of the application and then turn the water off promptly.
When using water from public water systems; DO NOT APPLY SPARTAN HERBICIDE THROUGH ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public
of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at le ast
25 individuals daily at least 60 days of the year. Spartan Herbicide may be applied through irrigation systems, which may be supplied
by a public water system only if water from the water system is discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There
shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at
least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there
is no blockage of the overflow of the reservoir tank.
Application with Dry Fertilizers
Spartan Herbicide may be applied impregnated on dry fertilizers. When applied as directed with adequate soil coverage, Spartan dry
bulk fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control.
Follow all Spartan label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops, incorporation, special instructions and
precautions.
Apply Spartan/dry fertilizer mixtures with ground equipment only.
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the responsibility of the
individual and/or company preparing, storing, transporting, selling or applying the Spartan/dry fertilizer mixture.
Impregnation Directions
To impregnate Spartan Herbicide on dry bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk fertiliz er
blender equipped with suitable spray equipment.
Prepare a slurry of Spartan Herbicide in a clean container using clear water. Slowly add the Spartan/water slurry to the impregnation
spray tank and finish filling as needed with clear water. Spray nozzles must be placed to provide uniform coverage of Spartan onto
the fertilizer during mixing.
Refer to the SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT section for directions for cleaning impregnation equipment, transport equipment,
loading equipment and application equipment.
Apply the Spartan Herbicide dry bulk fertilizer with an accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The Spartan Herbicide d ry bulk
fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly on the soil surface. Uneven spreading leaving untreated areas can cause poor weed
control or overlapping areas with potential increased Spartan Herbicide use rates could result in possible crop response.
A minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with the listed amount of Spartan must be applied per acre to achieve
adequate soil coverage for satisfactory weed control.
DO NOT impregnate Spartan onto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because these materials will not absorb the herbicide.
Refer to the appropriate crop section of the Spartan label to determine the rate of Spartan to be applied per acre. Use the fo llowing
table to determine the amount of Spartan to be impregnated on a ton (2000 pounds) of dry bulk fertilizer based on the rate of fertilizer
that will be applied per acre.
For those rates not listed in the following table, calculate the amount of Spartan to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer using
the following formula:
2000 Spartan use rate ounces of Spartan

Application with Liquid Fertilizer
Spartan Herbicide may be applied using liquid fertilizer solutions as the carrier. The fertilizer solutions may either be conc entrate
formulations as blended or diluted with water. When applied as directed with adequate soil coverage, Spartan Herbicide applied with
Spartan Herbicide Page 8
liquid fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control. However, adequate soil coverage is essential to achieve acc eptable
levels of weed control.
Herbicide mixing, solution stability and/or compatibility problems can occur when liquid fertilizers are used as a carrier. Compatibility
tests must be conducted prior to mixing to insure tank mixtur e compatibility and stability. The use of compatibility agents ma y be
beneficial to achieve and maintain a homogenous solution.
Mixing Instructions for Liquid Fertilizer Applications
Fill the clean spray tank to one half of the total volume with the fertilizer solution. Start the spray tank agitation system. Prepare a
slurry of Spartan Herbicide in a clean container with clean water using equal volumes of Spartan Herbicide and clean water. Sl owly
add the Spartan/water slurry to the spray tank. Carefully rinse the slurry container, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Better mixing
of the Spartan Herbicide/water slurry may be achieved if the slurry is added using induction systems on the sprayer fill plumbi ng
system.
Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level. Sufficient and continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to maintain
a homogenous spray solution. The spray system must be designed such that there is sufficient flow capacity to uniformly apply th e
spray mixture and maintain adequate tank agitation. Some systems may require separate pumps to simultaneously supply the spray
system and the spray tank agitation system. Insure the Spartan Herbicide slurry is thoroughly mixed before application.
For tank mixtures with other herbicide(s), a compatibility test must be conducted to insure product compatibility before mixing. Read
and follow all the directions, precautions and restrictions of the tank mixture products prior to mixing.
Apply the Spartan Herbicide spray mixture immediately after mixing. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of
time with the Spartan Herbicide spray mixture remaining in the tank.
Do not premix Spartan Herbicide spray solutions in nurse tanks.
Follow all Spartan Herbicide label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops, application instructions,
incorporation directions, special instructions and all precautions.
All individual state regulations relating to liquid fertilizer blending, storage, transportation, registration, labeling, and application are the
responsibility of the individual and/or company preparing, selling or applying the Spartan Herbicide and fertilizer mixture.

MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Spartan Herbicide may be applied alone, or in tank mixtures with other herbicides for the control of additional weed species. Mixtures
with some other pesticides have not been tested. Conduct appropriate compatibility tests prior to tank mixing with other pestic ides.
Follow all precautions and restrictions on the tank mix partner label.
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide residues before preparing Spartan spray mixtures. Follow
the spray tank clean out procedures specified on the label of the product or products previously applied.
For best results fill spray tank with one half of the volume of clean water needed for the field to be treated. Start agitation system.
Prepare a slurry of Spartan Herbicide in a clean container using clean water. Slowly add the Spartan/water slurry to the spray t ank.
Carefully rinse the slurry contai ner, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired le vel.
Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to maintain a uniform spray solution. Make sure Spartan is thoroughly mixed
before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.
Use the Spartan spray mixture immediately after mixing. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time wi th
the Spartan spray mixture remaining in the tank.
Do not premix Spartan spray solutions in nurse tanks.
If Spartan is tank mixed with other herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions and precautions for the tank mixture he rbicides
must be followed.
SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
As soon as possible after spraying Spartan Herbicide and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the
sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid potential crop affects using the following procedure. Residues left in mixing
equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. In addition,
users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with Spartan
Herbicide as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned
immediately following the application.
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and
residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray
nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately
in the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2. Prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of c lean
water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush
hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in the spray tank,
hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the hoses, spray
boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip)
separately in an ammonia solution.
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and guidelines.
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with Spartan Herbicide spray solution remaining in the tan k,
spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before beginning any application.
Should small quantities of Spartan Herbicide remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be
released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for
any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.

Preplant (Fall Applications)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment prior to corn planting the following spring.
Spartan Herbicide can be used alone or in a tank mixture with other herbicides to control susceptible broadleaves, sedges and grasses
in corn. Apply Spartan Herbicide in conventional tillage or conservation tillage (reduced tillage or no-tillage) cropping systems using
rates listed in the table above. Spartan Herbicide should be applied to the stubble or soil surface and allow moisture from rain fall or
snow to move the product into the soil. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring as this operation can destroy the herbicide
barrier allowing weed escapes to occur. Do not apply to frozen soils or existing snow cover to prevent Spartan Herbicide runoff from
rain or snowmelt that may occur following application. Spartan Herbicide may be tankmixed with other burndown herbicides to control
emerged weeds in the fall or residual soil herbicides that are labeled for fall use on corn. Select the correct Spartan Herbic ide use
rate for corn from the table above for your soil type and organic matter. Due to the extended period of time between the fall application
and corn planting, the use rate of Spartan Herbicide should be the mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropriate soil type
and organic matter.
Spartan Herbicide Page 13
Early Preplant and Preemergence (Spring Applications)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in conventional and conservation tillage
systems. Spartan Herbicide can be applied from 45 days prior to planting until 3 days after planting as a preemergence broadcast or
banded soil application if corn seedlings have not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed. For
preemergence applications 14 to 45 days prior to planting, use the mid to high rate in the appropriate rate range for the soil and
organic matter type listed in table above. Spartan Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides labeled for use in corn. To
control insect pests such as cutworm or armyworm that may be present, Spartan Herbicide may be tankmixed with insecticides
including Mustang® Maxx or Capture ® 2EC. If dry conditions persist following preemergence application of Spartan Herbicide, a
shallow incorporation may be needed to activate the herbicide. If weeds are emerged at the time of Spartan Herbicide applicatio n,
use a burndown herbicide in conjunction with Spartan Herbicide as needed. When planting into soil treated preplant with Sparta n
Herbicide, minimize soil disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed control. Observe
all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each products label when tank mixing, including all refer ences to
potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.
Preplant Incorporated
Spartan Herbicide may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventiona l
tillage corn. Spartan Herbicide should be shallowly incorporated or mixed thoroughly into the soil to a maximum depth of 2 inc hes
using a correctly adjusted implement such as a field cultivator, field finisher or disk harrow. Incorporating Spartan Herbicid e deeper
than 2 inches may result in inconsistent weed control. Use the appropriate rate from table above for the soil texture, organic matter,
and pH level of the soil. Spartan Herbicide can be tankmixed with other soil-applied herbicides and insecticides labeled for preplant
incorporation in corn. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each products label when tank
mixing, including all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.
Spartan Herbicide may be applied more than once to the same crop in split or sequential applications to provide season-long control
of difficult-to- control existing or late emerging weeds.
Precautions
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of Spartan Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the primary s oil
and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to
observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Product Application Instructions, Spartan Herbicide Product Use
Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent to th e

should be made with ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre.
Precautions
Under extended periods of dry weather, adequate weed control may not be achieved
Spartan Herbicide Page 14
Some adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and pH of 7.8 or higher, or
on highly eroded soils, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. Spartan Herbicide use rates should be reduced in those areas. If
applying Spartan Herbicide to course textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after applicat ion
before planting. Inadequate seed furrow closure or shallow planting (less than 1.0 inch) may result in undesirable crop response. As
expected, poor growing conditions such as excessive moisture, low temperatures, soil compaction and diseases may also cause
undesirable crop response.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of Spartan Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the primary soil
and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to

Fall Application (MN, ND, SD, MT, CO, NE, WY, ID, WA, OR, WI, MI)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the fall following crop harvest or in existing fallow fields to control or suppress weeds the following
season. The Spartan Herbicide Rotational Crop Guidelines in Table 4 must be followed if crops are planted the next season. Spartan
Herbicide should be applied to the harvested crop stubble or soil surface without incorporation. Moisture in the form of rain o r snow
will move and activate the product. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring after application because this activ ity may
destroy the herbicide barrier and weed escapes can occur. Do not apply to frozen soils to prevent Spartan Herbicide runoff from rain
or snow that may occur following application. Spartan Herbicide may be tankmixed with herbicides to control emerged weeds.
Sequential applications may be needed depending on weed size. In situations where weed size may interfere with Spartan Herbicide
reaching the soil surface, a separate burndown application prior to the application of Spartan Herbicide will be required. Use listed
rates of burndown herbicides in combination with Spartan Herbicide, or sequential applications as needed. Higher aerial spray
volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or canopy.
Spartan Herbicide can be tankmixed with other herbicides. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidel ines
of each products label when tank mixing, including all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.
Spring Preemerge Application
Spartan Herbicide may be applied as a fallow treatment early in the spring provided the application is made prior to weed emergence,
and adequate moisture is available to activate the Spartan Herbicide. Follow the same use rate specifications and application
guidelines listed under the Fall Application section above.

PEANUTS
Southeastern United States Only (AL, GA, MS, NC, SC, VA)
Apply Spartan Herbicide alone or in combination with other registered herbicides for the control of key grass and broadleaf weeds in
peanut production. Refer to the information below for specific use directions. Spartan Herbicide is registered for use on peanuts only
in the following states: AL, GA, MS, NC, SC and VA.
Application Instructions
Spartan Herbicide may be preplant incorporated (to a depth no greater than 2 inches) up to 14 days prior to planting. Alternatively,
Spartan Herbicide may be applied to the soil surface at planting, or within 12 hours after planting. Incorporation of Spartan Herbicide
deeper than 2 inches can result in adverse crop response and/or inconsistent weed control. Do not use Spartan Herbicide for “at-
crack” type applications or apply to exposed peanut tissue. Such use can result in significant adverse crop response. For optimum
performance, a combination of Spartan Herbicide plus a grass herbicide labeled for peanuts is recommended. Under conditions of
exceptionally high weed populations or when weeds not controlled by Spartan Herbicide are anticipated, the use of suitable post-
emergent peanut herbicides is recommended. Broadcast apply the correct Spartan Herbicide use rate from table below, in a
minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre of finished spray. Banded Spartan Herbicide application rates must be adjusted in
proportion to the broadcast rate.

1Use rates are Spartan Herbicide oz/A. Specified weeds are controlled in coarse (sand and loamy sand) soils. Medium and fine soil s (sandy loam, clay
loam, clay) or soils with organic matter greater than 1.0% should use the next higher rate in table above. The next higher rate fo r 5.3 oz/A (0.25 lb ai/A)
should not exceed 6.3 oz/A (0.3 lb ai/A). 2 Controls initial and several continuing flushes (germinations) of wild poinsettia. 3 Purple nutsedge activity is
based on preplant incorporated applications of Spartan Herbicide. Pre-emergence surface applications may provide control (>85% ) under certain
circumstances. Otherwise, purple nutsedge will be partially controlled (71 to 84%).
In soils with pH greater than 7, use the next lower Spartan Herbicide application rate. Irrigation with alkaline (pH 8 to 9) wat er can
result in adverse crop response. The extent of crop response is dependent on Spartan Herbicide application rate, soil type (including
%OM and pH), timing (after Spartan application relative to crop emergence), amount and pH of irrigation water. Do not irrigate with
water greater than pH 9.
After peanuts are established (4” to 6” across in size), the alkalinity of irrigation water has minimal impact on crop growth.
Precautions
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of Spartan Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the primary s oil
and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to
observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Product Application Instructions, Spartan Herbicide Product Use
Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent to th e
anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given crop species have been evaluated u nder
treatment with Spartan Herbicide. Consult university or extension weed management specialists for additional information on specific
local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent information on Spartan Herbicide under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
Do not apply more than 6.3 oz/A (0.3 lb ai/A) of Spartan Herbicide per twelve-month period.
Do not apply more than 5.3 oz/A (0.25 lb ai/A) in a single application.
Do not apply more than two applications per year when using reduced application rate equal to or less than 3.1 oz/A of this product.
The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial Spartan application.
Do not feed treated peanut forage or peanut hay to livestock.

Use higher rates for soils of pH less than 7.0 and lower rates for pH greater than 7.0 within the rate range.
Ground and Aerial Applications
Apply Spartan Herbicide by aerial application as a preemergence treatment following planting and after dragoff, but prior to pot ato
emergence. Optimum performance can be achieved if Spartan Herbicide is applied to the soil surface and either rainfall or overhead
irrigation is used to activate the product. If no moisture is received within 7 days following application in areas without ir rigation, a
shallow incorporation (less than 2 inches) may be needed prior to weed and potato emergence to activate the product. Select the
appropriate use rate based on soil texture and organic matter as shown in table above. For control of emerged weeds at the time of
the Spartan application, an appropriate burndown herbicide and adjuvants labeled for potatoes may be tankmixed with Spartan to
control these weeds. Do not apply Spartan Herbicide if the potatoes have emerged from the soil as undesirable crop response may
occur. Spartan Herbicide may be tankmixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in potatoes to improve weed
management and increase weed control spectrum.
Apply Spartan Herbicide in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray by ground application and 5 gallons of spray by air.
Chemigation Applications
Spartan Herbicide may be applied to potatoes through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, solid
set or hand move irrigation systems. Apply Spartan Herbicide prior to potato emergence using sufficient water (0.25 to 0.5 inch per
acre) to provide thorough soil surface coverage, but to avoid runoff of irrigation water. Spartan Herbicide may be applied with other
products labeled for chemigation use in potatoes.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a Spartan Herbicide soil application may significantly
increase the amount of sulfentrazone available in soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH greater than 7.5 could result in adverse
crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial Spartan Herbicide application rate, application timing, amount an d pH
of irrigation water; the sensitivity of the crop and the crop growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen
with advances in the crop growth stage.

Precautions
Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applications. When using Spartan Herbicide on an untested variety, alw ays
determine the crop tolerance before planting. Some potato varieties, including Sangre, Shepody and Snowden, have shown sensitivity
to Spartan Herbicide. Caution should be used when planting these varieties on marginal coarse soils.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of Spartan Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the primary s oil

Ground and Aerial Applications
Apply Spartan Herbicide in conventional tillage, conservation tillage, reduced tillage or no-tillage cropping systems using rates listed
in the Spartan Herbicide Use Rate table above. Spartan Herbicide may be applied with ground or aerial sprayers calibrated to deliver
a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray by ground application and 5 gallons of finished spray by air. Use nozzle types and
arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply sufficient spray volume to
achieve adequate coverage.
Preplant Incorporated and Preemergence Applications
Spartan Herbicide can be applied prior to planting or up to 3 days after planting. When applications after planting are delayed greater
than 3 days after planting, injury may occur if seeds are germinating. Spartan Herbicide may be applied preemergence or prepla nt
incorporated. For preplant incorporated applications, incorporation must be uniform and no deeper than 2 inches. Improper soi l
incorporation may result in erratic weed control and/or crop injury. Spartan Herbicide applied near or after crop emergence ma y
cause severe injury to the crop. Spartan Herbicide can be applied alone or in combination with other labeled soybean herbicide s.
Spartan Herbicide may be followed by labeled postemergence soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds.
Always follow the most restrictive label when tank mixing. When using Spartan Herbicide in no-till or minimum till cropping systems,
tank mix with an appropriate burndown herbicide for improved control of existing weeds.
Fall Applications
Spartan Herbicide may be applied as a fall treatment to the stubble of harvested crops for the burndown of existing vegetation a nd
preemergence control of labeled weeds the following spring in no-till and conservation tillage production systems. Fall applications of
Spartan Herbicide must be made in weed control programs that include, as needed, spring applications of preplant, preemergence or
postemergence herbicides for the following crop season. Spartan Herbicide can be applied to the stubble of a harvested crop in no-
till or to the soil surface of conservation tillage fields after harvest when the sustained soil temperature is 55 degrees F and falling at
a soil depth of 4 inches. Apply after September 30 in those areas North of Interstate 90 and after October 15 in those areas North
Spartan Herbicide Page 18
of Interstate 70. Do not apply Spartan Herbicide as a fall treatment South of Interstate 70. Applications to ridge till production systems
must be made after the formation of ridges or bedded.
If weeds are emerged at the time of application, utilize a tank mixture with a suitable burndown herbicide at labeled rates. Fall applied
burndown treatments should be made with a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to achieve adequate coverage of the weeds being
treated. When making burndown applications to emerged weeds, the addition of adjuvants such as COC or MSO to the spray mixture
can be used to enhance the burndown activity of the application.

Morningglory, spp. Waterhemp, spp.
Precautions
When applying Spartan Herbicide with other registered herbicides, refer to specific label information on precautions, instructio ns,
limitations, application methods and timings, and weeds controlled.
Spartan Herbicide is especially effective against a wide range of economic broadleaf and grass weeds. The same processes that
sulfentrazone affects in these weeds can, under certain conditions, be affected in soybeans. These conditions include high pH (7 .5
and above), cool weather, prolonged and excessive moisture, seedling diseases, and any other condition, including poor agronomic
practices, that are unfavorable to vigorous crop growth. Such effects in soybeans are often observed as stunting and discolorat ion.
The duration of these effects are somewhat dependent on the duration of the adverse growing conditions. These effects lessen an d
generally diminish with the return to normal growing conditions.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of Spartan Herbicide (sulfentrazone) and the primary s oil
and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to
observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Product Application Instructions, Spartan Herbicide Product Use
Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent to th e

Fall Applications (For use only in ND, SD, MT, MN, WY, CO, NE, KS)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting sunflowers the
following spring. Spartan Herbicide should be applied to the stubble or soil surface and allow moisture from rainfall or snow to move
the product into the soil. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring as this can destroy the herbicide barrier and allowing
weed escapes to occur. Do not apply to frozen soils or to existing snow cover to prevent Spartan Herbicide runoff from rain or snow
melt that may occur following application. Spartan Herbicide may be tank mixed with other residual soil herbicides that are la beled
for fall use on sunflowers or other crops in subgroup 20B. If weeds are emerged at the time of Spartan Herbicide application, use a
burndown herbicide such as glyphosate or paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with Spartan Herbicide or split application
as needed. Select the appropriate rate from table above within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When applying Spartan
Herbicide in the fall, use a mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropriate soil type and organic matter.
Early Preplant and Preemergence (Spring Applications)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in sunflowers. Spartan Herbicide can
be applied early preplant prior to planting up to 3 days after planting as a preemerge soil application if seedlings have not broken the
soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed. For preemerge applications greater than 3 weeks prior to planting, us e the
high rate within the appropriate rate range for the soil and organic matter type listed in the use rate chart above. If applying Spartan
Herbicide to course textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after application before planti ng.
Spartan Herbicide can be tank mixed with other preemerge herbicides labeled for sunflower or other crops in subgroup 20B. If dr y
conditions persist following preemerge application of Spartan Herbicide, a shallow incorporation may be needed to incorporate an d

If timely cultivations are not performed following a pre-transplant surface application, reduced/unacceptable weed control may occur
in the drill.
Bedded (Fields where raised beds ARE formed PRIOR to transplanting)
Apply Spartan Herbicide to formed beds as a surface application from 14 days to 12 hours prior to transplanting. If it is customary to
drag/knock down beds prior to transplanting, this procedure must be performed prior to the Spartan Herbicide application.
When incorporating prior to bedding, Spartan Herbicide must be thoroughly and uniformly incorporated to a depth no greater than 2
inches to avoid concentrating Spartan Herbicide in the bed.
If initial transplanting fails to produce a uniform stand, tobacco may be replanted. DO NOT re-treat field with a second applic ation of
Spartan Herbicide, or any other herbicide containing sulfentrazone. DO NOT re-bed. Re-transplant into previously formed, treate d
beds.
For broad spectrum and optimum grass weed control a grass herbicide application will be required.
Weeds Controlled
When Applied according to directions, Spartan Herbicide will provide control of:
Amaranthus, livid Pi gweed, redroot
Filaree, redstem Pi gweed, smooth
Galinsoga, hairy Sida, prickly
Lambsquarters, common Si gnalgrass, broadleaf
Morningglory, ivyleaf Smartweed, Penns ylvania
Morningglory, tall
Precautions
Poor agronomic practices, unfavorable pH soils, diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, drought or other conditions unfavorable
to normal plant growth may adversely affect the growth of tobacco transplants. Weakened transplants may be more susceptible to
herbicide response and diseases, particularly under poor drainage or compacted soil conditions or when the soil has been saturated
for long periods of time. Contact your State Agricultural Extension Service Specialist for consultation as to the agronomic
recommendations suited for your tobacco varieties and local conditions. Temporary stunting of tobacco may occur if transplants are
set too shallowly, or if heavy rainfall occurs immediately following transplanting. Splashing of treated soil onto tobacco lea ves may
cause some localized and inconsequential necrosis. Use sound transplanting practices that insure treated soil will not wash or crust
over tobacco plants.

Early Preplant and Fall Applications (For use only in ND, SD, MT, MN, WY, CO, NE, KS, WI, MI, OR, ID, WA, OR, MT)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting the following spring.
Spartan Herbicide should be applied to the stubble or soil surface and allow moisture from rainfall or snow to move the product into
the soil. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring as this can destroy the herbicide barrier and weed escapes can occur.
Do not apply to frozen soils or to existing snow cover to prevent Spartan Herbicide runoff from rain or snow melt that may occur
following application. Spartan Herbicide may be tank mixed with other residual soil herbicides that are labeled for fall use on dry bean
and dry peas. If weeds are emerged at the time of Spartan Herbicide application, use a burndown herbicide such as glyphosate or
paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with Spartan Herbicide or split application as needed. Select the appropriate rate from
table above within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When applying Spartan Herbicide in the fall, use a mid to high rate
within the rate range for the appropriate soil type and organic matter.
Early Preplant and Preemergence (Spring Applications)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in dry bean and dry peas. Spartan
Herbicide can be applied early preplant prior to planting up to 3 days after planting as a preemerge soil application if seedlings have
Spartan Herbicide Page 28
not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed. For preemerge applications greater than 3 weeks prior to
planting, use the high rate within the appropriate rate range for the soil and organic matter type listed in the use rate chart above. If
applying Spartan Herbicide to course textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after applicat ion
before planting. Spartan Herbicide can be tank mixed with other preemerge herbicides labeled for dry bean and dry peas use. If dry
conditions persist following preemerge application of Spartan Herbicide, a shallow incorporation may be needed to incorporate a nd
activate the herbicide. If weeds are emerged at the time of Spartan Herbicide application, use a burndown herbicide at the full-labeled
rate in combination with Spartan Herbicide or split application as needed.
Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventiona l
tillage dry bean and dry pea. Do not incorporate to depths greater than 2 inches. Spartan Herbicide use rates for PPI applica tions
are similar to those used in preplant and preemergence applications. Spartan Herbicide can be tankmixed with other burndown or
soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in dry bean or dry pea. Use the listed rates of burndown herbicides, or split applicatio ns as
needed. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each products label when tank mixing, including
all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.

Early Preplant (Fall Application or Spring Application) (MN, ND, SD, MT, CO, NE, WY, ID, WA, OR, WI, MI)
Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the fall or spring preceding the growing season to control or suppress weeds prior to or up to the
planting of horseradish. Spartan Herbicide may be applied in the spring from 60 days prior to planting up to planting. Spart an
Herbicide should be applied to the harvested crop stubble or soil surface without incorporation. Moisture in the form of rain o r snow
will move and activate the product into the soil. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring after application as th is may
destroy the herbicide barrier and weed escapes may occur. Do not apply to frozen soils to prevent Spartan runoff from rain or snow
that may occur following application. Spartan Herbicide may be tankmixed with other burndown herbicides to control emerged weeds
in the fall or spring or with residual soil herbicides that are labeled for use on horseradish. Use listed rates of burndown herbicides in
combination with Spartan Herbicide, or split applications as needed. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational crop ping
guidelines of each product label when tank mixing, including all references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Spartan Herbicide should be applied as a uniform broadcast soil application to orchard and vineyard floors and to berry beds an d
furrows or as a uniform band application directed to the base of the trunk in trees and vines and to the base of the berry and beds in
berries to provide preemergence control of weeds listed on this section.
For best control, Spartan Herbicide should be applied when there are no weeds present or a postemergence herbicide is tank mixed
to eliminate emerged weeds.
For broadcast applications, a single application of Spartan Herbicide should be made at 2.7 to 8 oz/A of product (0.125 to 0.375 lb
ai/A). Do not apply more than 8 oz/A of product (0.375 lb ai/A) per twelve-month period. The twelve-month period is considered to
begin when the initial application of Spartan is applied.
For improved weed management, Spartan Herbicide can be applied in a tank mixture with other preemergence and postemergence
burndown herbicides. Refer to the tank mix partners labels for additional restrictions, including minimum spray volumes and crops in
which they are labeled. Burndown herbicides may include, but are not limited to, Aim®, Shark®, Rage™ D-Tech, glyphosate, paraquat,
Rely®, and 2,4-D. Do not tank mix with Chateau® herbicides (flumioxazin) or with other products containing sulfentrazone.
When applied as a banded treatment (50% band or less), Spartan Herbicide may be applied twice per year. Do not apply more than
0.5 lb ai/A product on a broadcast application basis per year. Allow a minimum of 60 days between applications, unless otherwise
specified on the label or separate published FMC recommendations.
For band treatments, apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. To determine these:
Band Width Feet
X Broadcast
Rate Per Acre = Band RateRow Width Feet
Band Width Feet X Broadcast
Volume Per Acre = Band Volume
A minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre should be used to ensure uniform spray coverage. Nozzle selection should
meet manufacturers spray volume and pressure recommendations for Preemergence and postemergence herbicide applications.
The spray solution should have a pH between 5.0 and 9.0.
Spartan Herbicide should only be applied to crops that have been established for one full growing season and are in good health and
vigor. Avoid contact of the spray solution on the green bark of trunks of young vines and trees by wrapping the trunk with a nonporous
wrap, grow tubes, or wax containers which will keep the spray solution from coming in direct contact with the green tissue. Av oid
direct or indirect spray contact with crop foliage and fruit.
Use ground equipment only, do not apply using an airblast sprayer or by air. Do not apply through irrigation equipment.
Best results are obtained when the soil is moist at the time of application and the application will be followed by at least ½ inch of
rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within two weeks after application. Applications should be timed to take advantage of normal rainfall
patterns and cool temperatures, especially where drip or micro sprinkler irrigation is used which may not uniformly incorporate the
herbicide.
WEED CONTROL INFORMATION
Spartan Herbicide is a selective soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds found i nt h e
Permanent Crop Weed list in this section. Adequate moisture of at least ½ inch is required within 14 days after application for optimal
control. If adequate rainfall is not received in a timely fashion, irrigate with a minimum of ½ inch of water. When activating moisture
is delayed, a reduced level of weed control may occur. These escaped weeds can be removed using a burndown herbicide.
Spartan Herbicide Page 39
Tank mix Spartan Herbicide with a burndown herbicide and use an appropriate adjuvant when weeds are present at the time of
application. Refer to the tank mix partners product label for the proper use rates by weed sizes. Use the most restrictive la bel
limitations and precautions of the tank mix product(s).
Residual weed control may be reduced when Spartan Herbicide is applied where heavy crop trash such as leaves and branches and
/or weed residues exists. It is best to rakeor blow off the leaves and trash when they fall and prior to the Spartan Herbicide application.
Do not apply after petal fall unless using a hooded or shielded sprayer to ensure that the spray solution will not come in contact with
the crop or foliage.

ANNUAL AND PERENNIALSEDGE CONTROL INCLUDING NUTSEDGE
Spartan Herbicide applied at 8 oz/A of product (0.375 lb ai/A) may provide control or suppression of sedges whether applied
preemergence or postemergence to the sedges. Postemergence applications to sedges allows Spartan to be taken into the sedge
through the foliage as well as soil uptake through the roots. Soil uptake is the major means of uptake by sedges. Good spray coverage
is required for optimum control of sedges especially when applying postemergence to the sedges. Use a quality nonionic surfactant
(NIC) at the rate of 0.25% v/v when applying postemergence to sedges.
When applied as directed, Spartan Herbicide will provide control or suppression of the following sedges.
Common Name Scientific Name
Kyllinga, green Kyllinga brevifolia
Kullinga, false green Kyllinga gracillima
Nutsedge, purple Cyperus rotundus
Nutsedge, yellow Cyperus esculentus
Sedge, cylindrical Cyperus retrorsus
Sedge, globe Cyperus globulosus
Sedge, Surinam Cyperus surinamensis
Sedge, Texas Cyperus polystachyos
Optimum control of purple nutsedge may be obtained using split applications of Spartan Herbicide. Apply 2.7 to 4.0 oz/A followed
by a second application to actively growing nutsedge. Do not exceed the maximum rate of 8 oz/A of product (0.375 lb ai/A) per 12
month period. Spartan symptoms on nutsedge will be observed as reduced nutsedge stands, necrosis, chlorosis, and/or stunting.
Optimum control may not be observed until the second year after the original treatment.
REPLANTING IN NEW OR ESTABLISHED ORCHARDS AND VINEYARDS
Delay replanting at least 30 days after Spartan Herbicide applications when replacing trees and vines in newly planted and established
orchards and vineyards. Use untreated soil when replanting trees and vines.
