Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to marine/estuarine invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in neighboring
areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.

Groundwater advisory: Sulfentrazone is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use.
Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
contamination.

Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.

Surface water advisory: Sulfentrazone can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions, sulfentrazone may
also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several to many months post-
application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded
areas, areas overlying extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in- field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over -lying tile drainage systems that drain to surface
waters.

Physical and Chemical Hazards
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Spartan 4F, 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 m ore
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 4F 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 r egion.
Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple sites of action. Products with multiple active ingredients are
intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled by multiple sites of action. Some weeds may be controlled by only one
of the active ingredients in this product.
· 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; or
- 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 4F 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 crop
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 4F is a selective soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds. SPARTAN 4F is
formulated as a 4 pounds per gallon flowable 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 4F treatment, a shallow incorporation may be
needed to obtain desired weed control. When activating moisture is received after dry conditions, SPARTAN 4F will provide a
reduced level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. Soil applications of SPARTAN 4F 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.


The following directions for the selection of SPARTAN 4F application rates are critical to achieve maximum performance and to ensure
maximum crop safety. The user is required to read and follow the specific SPARTAN 4F 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 4F. This
response is governed by the SPARTAN 4F application rate, various soil factors and inherent crop sensitivity. The Crop Specific 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 4F, 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 death.
The selective herbicidal activity of sulfentrazone is based on its greater affinity for the PPO IX enzyme in weed species versus crop
plants.

Mechanism of Action
Following the application of SPARTAN 4F to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up sulfentrazone from the soil solution. The
amount of sulfentrazone in soil solution, and available for weed uptake, is determined primarily by soil type, organic matter 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, Table 1.

Influence of Soil type, organic matter and pH on SPARTAN 4F Use Rates and Crop Response
Soil organic matter content can vary widely and independently of soil type and requires an accurate analysis of representative soil
samples to determine its content.

Soil pH also exerts a dramatic effect on sulfentrazone availability in the soil solution. As soil pH increases, sulfentrazone availability
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 (clay content), %
organic matter and pH. The application timing (relative to the emergence of the crop and weeds) and amount of rainfall 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 4F can await activating moisture. However, diminished weed
control may result due to the successive increase in weed growth versus timing of activation.

It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a SPARTAN 4F 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 4F application rate, timing, amount and pH of
irrigation water and sensitivity of the crop and its growth 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 4F directions 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 recommendations.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SPARTAN 4F may be applied to soil as a preplant incorporated 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 various
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 4F rates that could result in adverse crop response.

Page 5

All soil applications and the residual activity of post- plant applications of SPARTAN 4F require adequate moisture for herbicidal
activation. The ultimate amount of moisture, whether supplied by rainfall or irrigation, is dependent on several factors. Thes e factors
include but are not limited to existing soil moisture at application, soil type, organic matter and tilth. In crop situations dependent on
rainfall, SPARTAN 4F can await activating moisture for extended periods (10 to 14 days or longer) depending on the soil parameters
described above. Once activated, SPARTAN 4F 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 activation, particularly for
surface applications of SPARTAN 4F, a shallow incorporation is recommended for destruction of any germinating weeds and to
incorporate SPARTAN 4F. Herbicide incorporation will initiate the process of activation with ex isting soil moisture. In circumstances
where prolonged periods without rainfall and/or irrigation is not possible, alternative or additional weed management practic es
(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 4F. Over-the-top and lay-by applications will provide contact and residual weed control, depending on species. The addition
of surfactants may increase contact weed control performance but may also increase the risk of adverse crop response as well.


MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
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 pressures.
• Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle
manufacturer’s 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 ASABE standard).
• Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre by ground.
• When 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. Applicators may spray only when wind
speed is between 3 and 10 mph.
• For boom spraying, the maximum release height is 30 inches from the soil.

Aerial Application
• 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.
• Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle
manufacturer’s 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 ASABE standard).
• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Applicators may spray only when wind
speed is between 3 and 10 mph.

SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION 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 wi ll 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).

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 manufacturer’s 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 required 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.

Page 6
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.

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 - 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 upwi nd.
Swath adjustment or offset distance should increase when conditions favor increased drift potential (higher winds, smaller droplets,
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 unpredic table 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 4F
Drift of dilute spray mixtures containing SPARTAN 4F 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 4F 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 4F drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of the spray solution
and droplets size (effectively determining the dosage of sulfentrazone) and also depending on the inherent sensitivity of the plants
involved, these spots or lesions may or may not coales ce. 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 and environmental prohibitions
that then result in off-target movement or drift of SPARTAN 4F on to unintended crops or plants, 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 4F.

BAND TREATMENT APPLICATIONS
For band treatments, apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per
acre. To determine these:

Chemigation Application
 SPARTAN 4F 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 irrigati on 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 make
necessary adjustments should the need arise.

It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a SPARTAN 4F 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 4F 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 functi onal,

Page 7
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 automati cally 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 4F should be metered into the irrigation system continuously for the duration of the water application. SPARTAN 4F
should be diluted in sufficient volume to ensure accurate application over the area to be treated. Use the appropriate amount of water
to carry the product to the soil surface. Continuous agitation is required to maintain product suspension in the solution tank. A jar test
should be conducted to ensur e 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 4F 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 least 25 indivi duals
daily at least 60 days of the year. SPARTAN 4F 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 4F may be applied impregnated on dry fertilizers. When applied as directed with adequate soil coverage, SPARTAN 4F
dry bulk fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control.

Follow all SPARTAN 4F label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops, incorporation, special instructions and
precautions.

Apply SPARTAN 4F /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 4F/dry fertilizer mixture.

Impregnation Directions

To impregnate SPARTAN 4F on dry bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender
equipped with suitable spray equipment.

Prepare a slurry of SPARTAN 4F in a clean container using clear water. Slowly add the SPARTAN 4F/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 4F
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 4F dry bulk fertilizer with an accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The SPARTAN 4F dry 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 4F use rates could result in possible crop response.

A minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with the listed amount of SPARTAN 4F must be applied per acre to achieve
adequate soil coverage for satisfactory weed control.

DO NOT impregnate SPARTAN 4F onto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because these materials will not absorb the herbicide.

Refer to the appropriate crop section of the SPARTAN 4F label to determine the rate of SPARTAN 4F to be applied per acre. Use
the following table to determine the amount of SPARTAN 4F 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 4F to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer
using the following formula:

Application with Liquid Fertilizer
SPARTAN 4F may be applied using liquid fertilizer solutions as the carrier. The fertilizer solutions may either be concentrate
formulations as blended or diluted with water. When applied as directed with adequate soil coverage, SPARTAN 4F applied with
liquid fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control. However, adequate soil coverage is essential to achieve acceptable
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 ensure tank mixture compatibility and stability. The use of federally approved compatibility
agents may 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 4F in a clean container with clean water using equal volumes of SPARTAN 4F and clean water. Slowly add the
SPARTAN 4F/water slurry to the spray tank. Carefully rinse the slurry container, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Better mixing
of the SPARTAN 4F/water slurry may be achieved if the slurry is added using induction systems on the sprayer fill plumbing 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 uniform ly apply the
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. Ensure the SPARTAN 4F slurry is thoroughly mixed before application.

For tank mixtures with other herbicide(s), a compatibility test must be conducted to ensure product compatibility before mixing. It is
the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must
follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Apply the SPARTAN 4F spray mixture immediately after mixing. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time
with the SPARTAN 4F spray mixture remaining in the tank.

Do not premix SPARTAN 4F spray solutions in nurse tanks.

Follow all SPARTAN 4F 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 4F and fertilizer mixture.

REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If initial planting of labeled crops fails to produce a stand, only labeled crops for SPARTAN 4F or the tank mix partner; whichever is
most restrictive, may be planted. Do not retreat field with SPARTAN 4F or other herbicide containing sulfentrazone. Do not plant
treated fields with any crop at intervals that are inconsistent with the Rotational Crop Guidelines on this label. When repl anting use
minimum soil tillage to preserve the herbicide barrier and achieve maximum weed control.

MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
SPARTAN 4F 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 pesticides. 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 4F 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 agitati on system.
Prepare a slurry of SPARTAN 4F in a clean container using clean water. Slowly add the SPARTAN 4F/water slurry to the spray tank.
Carefully rinse the slurry container, adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level.
Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to maintain a uniform spray solution. Make sure SPARTAN 4F is thoroughly
mixed before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.

Use the SPARTAN 4F spray mixture immediately after mixing. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time
with the SPARTAN 4F spray mixture remaining in the tank.

Do not premix SPARTAN 4F spray solutions in nurse tanks.

It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in the tank mixture. Users must follow
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Proper handling instructions : SPARTAN 4F 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. This
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 wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water
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 to
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 exc lude
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide
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 s hipments 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, spray
mixtures or rinsates.

SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
As soon as possible after spraying SPARTAN 4F and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer
must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid potential crop effects 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 4F as
required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be achi eved 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. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gall ons of
clean 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 spr ay tank,
hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.

Page 12
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 s pray 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 4F spray solution remaining in the tank, 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 4F 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.

Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants.

Do not contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops.

*Nutsedge Management
SPARTAN 4F Herbicide will aid in the management of yellow and purple nutsedge populations by weakening existing nutsedge plants.
The degree of suppression depends on the rate of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide applied, moisture, soil conditions, the depth of nutsedge
nutlets, weather, and the interval between SPARTAN 4F Herbicide application and nutsedge emergence in the spring.

Soil uptake is the major means of uptake by sedges however, postemergence applications to sedges allow SPARTAN 4F Herbicide
to be taken into the sedge through the foliage as well as soil uptake through the roots. Good spray coverage is required for
optimum control of sedges especially when applying postemergence to the sedges. Use a quality federally approved nonionic
surfactant (NIC) at the rate of 0.25% v/v when applying postemergence. Best suppressive activity is attained when nutsedge plants
are small with 6 or fewer leaves.

SPARTAN 4F may be applied in the fall following crop harvest or in existing fallow fields to control or suppress weeds the following
season. The SPARTAN 4F Rotational Crop Restrictions must be followed if crops are planted the next season. SPARTAN 4F should
be applied to the harvested crop stubble or soil surface without incorporation. Moisture in the form of rain or snow will move and
activate the product. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring after application because this activity may destroy the
herbicide barrier and weed escapes can occur. SPARTAN 4F may be tank mixed with herbicides to control emerged weeds.
Sequential applications may be needed depending on weed size. In situations where weed size may interfere with SPARTAN 4F
reaching the soil surface, a separate burndown application prior to the application of SPARTAN 4F will be required. Use listed rates
of burndown herbicides in combination with SPARTAN 4F, or sequential applications as needed. Higher aerial spray volumes are
required when there is a dense weed population or canopy.

Spring Preemerge Application
SPARTAN 4F 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 4F. Follow the same use rate specifications and application guidelines listed
under the Fall Application section above.

Preplant (Fall Applications)
SPARTAN 4F may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment prior to corn planting the following spring.
SPARTAN 4F can be used alone or in a tank mixture with other herbicides to control susceptible broadleaves, sedges and grasses in
corn. Apply SPARTAN 4F in conventional tillage or conservation tillage (reduced tillage or no -tillage) cropping systems using rates
listed in the Table above. SPARTAN 4F 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 operation can destroy the herbicide barrier
allowing weed escapes to occur. SPARTAN 4F may be tank mixed 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 4F 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 4F should be the mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropriate soil type and organic matter.

Early Preplant and Preemergence (Spring Applications)
SPARTAN 4F may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in conventional and conservation tillage
systems. SPARTAN 4F 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 4F 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 4F may be tank mixed with insecticides including zeta-
cypermethrin or bifenthrin insecticides. If dry conditions persist following preemergence application of SPARTAN 4F, a shallow
incorporation may be needed to activate the herbicide. If weeds are emerged at the time of SPARTAN 4F application, use a burndown
herbicide in conjunction with SPARTAN 4F as needed. When planting into soil treated preplant with SPARTAN 4F, 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 product’s label when tank mixing, including all references to potential carryover
and crop injury warnings or restrictions.

Preplant Incorporated
SPARTAN 4F may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventional tillage
corn. SPARTAN 4F should be shallowly incorporated or mixed thoroughly into the soil to a maximum depth of 2 inches using a
correctly adjusted implement such as a field cultivator, field finisher or disk harrow. Incorporating SPARTAN 4F 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 4F can be tank mixed with other soil-applied herbicides and insecticides labeled for preplant incorporation in
corn. Observe all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each product’s label when tank mixing, including all
references to potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.


SPARTAN 4F 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.

These Crop Specific Use Directions are based upon the interactive effects of SPARTAN 4F (sulfentrazone) and the primary soil and

Use higher specified rates for soils of pH less than 7.0 and lower rates for pH greater than 7.0 within the rate range.

Preemergence
Spartan 4F Herbicide may be applied to edamame as a preemergence treatment using rates listed on the table above. Preemergence
treatments must be made within 3 days after planting before crop and weeds merge. Applications should be made with ground
equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre.

Under extended periods of dry weather, adequate weed control may not be achieved.
Some adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and pH of 7.6 or higher, or
on highly eroded soils, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. Spartan 4F Herbicide use rates should be reduced in those areas. If
applying Spartan 4F to course textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after application 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.

PEANUTS
Southeastern United States Only (AL, GA, MS, NC, SC, VA)

Application Instructions
SPARTAN 4F may be preplant incorporated (to a depth no greater than 2 inches) up to 14 days prior to planting. Alternatively,
SPARTAN 4F may be applied to the soil surface at planting, or within 12 hours after planting. Incorporation of SPARTAN 4F deeper
than 2 inches can result in adverse crop response and/or inconsistent weed control. Do not use SPARTAN 4F for “at-crack” type
applications or apply to exposed peanut tissue. Such use can result in significant adverse crop response. For optimum perform ance,
a combination of SPARTAN 4F plus a grass herbicide labeled for peanuts is recommended. Under conditions of exceptionally high
weed populations or when weeds not controlled by SPARTAN 4F are anticipated, the use of suitable post-emergent peanut herbicides
is recommended. Broadcast apply the correct SPARTAN 4F use rate from the tables below, in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per
acre of finished spray. Banded SPARTAN 4F application rates must be adjusted in proportion to the broadcast rate.

loam, clay) or soils with organic matter greater than 1.0% should use the next higher rate in the table above. The next higher rate for 8.0 fl oz/A (0.25 lb
ai/A) should not exceed 9.6 fl 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 4F. 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 4F application rate. Irrigation with alkaline (pH 8 to 9) water can result
in adverse crop response. The extent of crop response is dependent on SPARTAN 4F application rate, soil type (including %OM and
pH), timing (after SPARTAN 4F 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.

For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of SPARTAN 4F (sulfentrazone) and the primary soil and

Page 19
Ground and Aerial Applications
Apply SPARTAN 4F by aerial application as a preemergence treatment following planting and after dragoff, but prior to potato
emergence. Optimum performance can be achieved if SPARTAN 4F 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 irrigation, 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 4F application, an appropriate burndown herbicide and adjuvants labeled for potatoes may be tank mixed with
SPARTAN 4F to control these weeds. Do not apply SPARTAN 4F if the potatoes have emerged from the soil as undesirable crop
response may occur. SPARTAN 4F may be tank mixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in potatoes to improve weed
management and increase weed control spectrum.

Apply SPARTAN 4F in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray by ground application and 5 gallons of spray by air.

Chemigation Applications
 SPARTAN 4F 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 4F 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 4F 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 4F 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 4F application rate, application timing, amount and 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.

Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Nightshade, Eastern black
Filaree, redstem Pigweed, redroot
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Pigweed, smooth
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhemp, common
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applications. When using SPARTAN 4F on an untested variety, always
determine the crop tolerance before planting. Some potato varieties, including Sangre, Shepody and Snowden, have shown sensitivity
to SPARTAN 4F. 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 4F (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 observe
the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, SPARTAN 4F Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop
Restrictions, Replanting Instructions, Weeds List and any other section of this label pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important
to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given crop species have been evaluated under treatment with SPARTAN 4F. Consult
university or extension weed management specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any other
pertinent information on SPARTAN 4F under specific local conditions.

Restrictions
• Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.
• Do not apply SPARTAN 4F after potato emergence from the soil as undesirable crop response may occur.
• Do not apply more than 8.0 fl oz/A (0.25 lb ai/A) per twelve-month period.
• Do not apply more than 8.0 fl 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 4.0 fl oz/A of thi s
product.
• The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial SPARTAN 4F application.
• Do not apply to frozen soils or existing snow cover to prevent SPARTAN 4F runoff from rain or snowmelt that may occur following

Use higher specified 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 4F in conventional tillage, conservation tillage, reduced tillage or no-tillage cropping systems using rates listed in the
SPARTAN 4F Use Rate Table above. SPARTAN 4F 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 achi eve adequate
coverage.

Preplant Incorporated and Preemergence Applications
 SPARTAN 4F 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 4F may be applied preemergence or preplant
incorporated. For preplant incorporated applications, incorporation must be uniform and no deeper than 2 inches. Improper s oil
incorporation may result in erratic weed control and/or crop injury. SPARTAN 4F applied near or after crop emergence may cause
severe injury to the crop. SPARTAN 4F can be applied alone or in combination with other labeled soybean herbicides. SPARTAN
4F may be followed by labeled postemergence soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. When using
SPARTAN 4F in no- till or minimum till cropping systems, tank mix with an appropriate burndown herbicide for improved control of
existing weeds.

Fall Applications
 SPARTAN 4F may be applied as a fall treatment to the stubble of harvested crops for the burndown of existing vegetation and
preemergence control of labeled weeds the following spring in no-till and conservation tillage production systems. Fall applications of
SPARTAN 4F 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 4F 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 fall ing 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 of
Interstate 70. Do not apply SPARTAN 4F 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.

Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Nightshade
Copperleaf, hophornbeam Pigweed, spp.
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Sida, prickly
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, spp. Waterhemp, spp.
For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

When applying SPARTAN 4F with other registered herbicides, refer to specific label information on precautions, instructions,
limitations, application methods and timings, and weeds controlled.

SPARTAN 4F 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 discolor ation.
The duration of these effects are somewhat dependent on the duration of the adverse growing conditions. These effects lessen and
generally diminish with the return to normal growing conditions.

These Crop Specific Use Directions are based upon the interactive effects of SPARTAN 4F (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 observe
the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, SPARTAN 4F Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop
Restrictions, Replanting Instructions, Weeds List and any other section of this label pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important

Fall Applications
SPARTAN 4F may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting the following spring.
SPARTAN 4F 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 4F runoff from rain or snow melt that may occur following
application. SPARTAN 4F may be tank mixed with other residual soil herbicides that are labeled for fall use on sunflowers or other
crops in subgroup 20B. If weeds are emerged at the time of SPARTAN 4F application, use a burndown herbicide such as glyphosate
or paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN 4F or split application as needed. Select the appropriate rate from
Table above within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When applying SPARTAN 4F in the fal l, 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 4F may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds. SPARTAN 4F 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, 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 4F to coarse textured
soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after application before planting. SPARTAN 4F can be tank mixed
with other preemerge herbicides labeled for sunflowers or other crops in subgroup 20B. If dry conditions persist following preemerge
application of SPARTAN 4F, a shallow incorporation may be needed to incorporate and activate the herbicide. If weeds are emerged
at the time of SPARTAN 4F application, use a burndown herbicide at the full -labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN 4F or split
application as needed.

Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
SPARTAN 4F may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventional tillage.
SPARTAN 4F should be shallowly incorporated in the soil no deeper than 2 inches. Incorporating SPARTAN 4F deeper than 2 inches
can result in inconsistent weed control. Use the appropriate rate from Table above for the soil texture, organic matter, and pH level.
SPARTAN 4F can be tank mixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for preplant incorporation in sunflowers or other crops in
subgroup 20B.

Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Pigweed, redroot
Filaree, redstem Pigweed, smooth
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Sida, prickly
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhemp, common
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
Nightshade, Eastern black

For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

When applying SPARTAN 4F to coarse textured soils, it is recommended that growers allow a minimum of 7-14 days from application
to planting. Best results are achieved with SPARTAN 4F when applications are made early preplant and greater than 14 days before
planting.

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 4F use rates should be reduced in those areas. 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.

SPARTAN 4F may be surface applied or preplant incorporated (to a depth no greater than 2 inches) from 14 days to 12 hours days
prior to transplanting tobacco. Incorporating SPARTAN 4F deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent weed control.

Broadcast apply the appropriate SPARTAN 4F rate from Table above, in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of water, to the soil prior
to transplanting.

Non-Bedded (Fields where raised beds are NOT formed prior to transplanting)
Perform all accepted cultural practices for land preparation, fertilizer/fungicide incorporation, etc. prior to the application of SPARTAN
4F. Once the field has been prepared for planting, SPARTAN 4F may be surface applied or lightly preplant incorporated from 14 days
to 12 hours prior to transplanting.

If SPARTAN 4F is surface applied and it is necessary to remove equipment tracks from the field after application but prior to
transplanting, any light finishing equipment may be used providing the soil is not disturbed to a depth greater than 2 inches.

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 4F 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 4F application.

When incorporating prior to bedding, SPARTAN 4F must be thoroughly and uniformly incorporated to a depth no greater than 2 inches
to avoid concentrating SPARTAN 4F in the bed.

If initial transplanting fails to produce a uniform stand, tobacco may be replanted. DO NOT re- treat field with a second application of
SPARTAN 4F, or any other herbicide containing sulfentrazone. DO NOT re-bed. Re-transplant into previously formed, treated beds.

For broad spectrum and optimum grass weed control a grass herbicide application will be required.

Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F will provide control of:
Amaranthus, livid Pigweed, redroot
Filaree, redstem Pigweed, smooth
Galinsoga, hairy Sida, prickly
Lambsquarters, common Signalgrass, broadleaf
Morningglory, ivyleaf Smartweed, Pennsylvania
Morningglory, tall
For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

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 leaves may

Page 25
cause some localized and inconsequential necrosis. Use sound transplanting practices that ensure treated soil will not wash or crust
over tobacco plants.

Early Preplant and Fall Applications
SPARTAN 4F may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting the following spring.
SPARTAN 4F 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 4F runoff from rain or snow melt that may occur following
application. SPARTAN 4F 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 4F application, use a burndown herbicide such as glyphosate or paraquat at the full -
labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN 4F or split application as needed. Select the appropriate rate from Table above within the
correct soil type and organic matter range. When applying SPARTAN 4F 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 4F may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in dry bean and dry peas. SPARTAN 4F
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, 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 4F to course textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter, wait a minimum of 7 days after application before planting.
Spartan SPARTAN 4F 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 4F, a shallow incorporation may be needed to incorporate and activate the
herbicide. If weeds are emerged at the time of SPARTAN 4F application, use a burndown herbicide at the full -labeled rate in
combination with SPARTAN 4F or split application as needed.

Preplant Incorporated (PPI
)
SPARTAN 4F may be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring prior to planting in reduced and conventional tillage
dry bean and dry pea. Do not incorporate to depths greater than 2 inches. SPARTAN 4F use rates for PPI applications are similar
to those used in preplant and preemergence applications. SPARTAN 4F can be tank mixed 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 applications as needed. Observe
all precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping guidelines of each product’s label when tank mixing, including all references to
potential carryover and crop injury warnings or restrictions.

Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Pigweed, redroot
Filaree, redstem Pigweed, smooth
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Sida, prickly
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhemp, common
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
Nightshade, Eastern black

For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weeds List section (Table 5) in this label.

Precautions
When applying SPARTAN 4F to coarse textured soils, it is recommended that growers allow a minimum of 7-14 days from application
to planting. Best results are achieved with SPARTAN 4F when applications are made early preplant and greater than 14 days before
planting.
Under extended periods of dry weather, adequate weed control may not be achieved.

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 4F use rates should be reduced in those areas. 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.

NUTSEDGE SUPPRESSION
Common Name Scientific Name
Nutsedge, purple Cyperus rotundus
Nutsedge, yellow Cyperus esculentus

Spartan 4F Herbicide will aid in the management of yellow and purple nutsedge populations by weakening existing nutsedge plants.
The degree of suppression depends on the rate of Spartan 4F Herbicide applied, moisture, soil conditions, the depth of nutsedge
nutlets, weather, and the interval between Spartan 4F Herbicide application and nutsedge emergence in the spring.

Soil uptake is the major means of uptake by sedges however, postemergence applications to sedges allow Spartan 4F Herbicide to
be taken into the sedge through the foliage as well as soil uptake through the roots. Good spray coverage is required for optimum

Page 31
control of sedges especially when applying postemergence to the sedges. Use a quality federally approved nonionic surfactant (NIC)
at the rate of 0.25% v/v when applying postemergence. Best suppressive activity is attained when nutsedge plants are small with 6 or
fewer leaves.

strawberries with post emergent activity. Do not apply within 56 days of harvest.

Row Middles (wheel rows)
Apply SPARTAN 4F Herbicide in a band to row middles between planting beds using a directed spray or, hooded or shielded sprayers.
Do not allow spray to contact emerged crops. Severe crop injury will occur if spray solutions of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide contact
desirable vegetation, stems, fruit, or blooms. Any spray contacting strawberry foliage, flowers, or fruit will cause severe crop damage.
If emerged weeds are present, tank mix with SPARTAN 4F Herbicide with another herbicide labeled for use in strawberries with post
emergent activity. Do not apply within 3 days of harvest.

Minimize spray contact with the plastic bed cover to prevent crop plants from contacting treated plastic or washing of the herbicide
into the plant hole. DO NOT apply directly to plastic mulch.

SPARTAN 4F Herbicide applied after crop emergence may cause severe injury to the crop. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide can be applied
alone or in combination with other labeled strawberry herbicides. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide may be followed by labeled postemergence
strawberry herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. Always follow the most restrictive label when tank mixing.
When using SPARTAN 4F Herbicide in no-till or minimum till cropping systems, tank mix with an appropriate burndown herbicide for
improved control of existing weeds.

Weeds Controlled
SPARTAN 4F Herbicide is a selective soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds listed in
the weed control tables. 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.

Tank mix SPARTAN 4F Herbicide with a burndown herbicide and use an appropriate adjuvant when weeds are present at the time of
application. Refer to the tank mix partner’s product label for the proper use rates by weed sizes.

Fall Applications
SPARTAN 4F Herbicide may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting flax the
following spring. SPARTAN 4F 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
allow weed escapes to occur. Do not apply to frozen soils or to existing snow cover to prevent SPARTAN 4F Herbicide runoff from
rain or snow melt that may occur following application. If weeds are emerged at the time of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide application, use
a labeled burndown herbicide at the full -labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN 4F Herbicide or a sequential application as
needed. Select the appropriate rate from the Table above within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When applyi ng
SPARTAN 4F 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 4F Herbicide may be applied preplant on the soil surface in the spring to control weeds in flax. SPARTAN 4F 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. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide applied after crop emergence may cause severe
injury to the crop. For preemerge applications greater than 3 weeks prior to planting, use the mid to high rate within the appropriate
rate range for the soil and organic matter type listed in the use rate chart above. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide can be applied alone or in
combination with other labeled flax herbicides. Always follow the most restrictive label when tank mixing. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide
may be followed by labeled postemergence flax herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. If dry conditions
persist following preemerge application of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide, weed control may be poor. If weeds are emerged at the time of
SPARTAN 4F Herbicide application, use a burndown herbicide at the full -labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN 4F Herbicide or
split application as needed. When using SPARTAN 4F Herbicide in no- till or minimum till cropping systems, tank mix with an
appropriate burndown herbicide for improved control of existing weeds.

Preemergence
SPARTAN 4F Herbicide can be applied prior to planting to anytime after planting but before seedlings have emerged. SPARTAN 4F
Herbicide applied after crop emergence may cause severe injury to the crop. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide can be applied alone or in
combination with other labeled flax herbicides. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide may be followed by labeled postemergence flax herbicides

Page 38
for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. When using SPARTAN 4F Herbicide in no-till or minimum till cropping systems,
tank mix with an appropriate burndown herbicide for improved control of existing weeds.

When applied according to directions, SPARTAN 4F Herbicide will provide control of:
Copperleaf, hophornbeam Morningglory, tall
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) Nightshade, Eastern black
Morningglory, entireleaf Pigweed, redroot
Morningglory, ivyleaf Pigweed, smooth

When applying SPARTAN 4F Herbicide to coarse textured soils, growers are to allow a minimum of 7-14 days from application to
planting. Some adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and pH of 7.2
or higher, or on highly eroded soils, hilltops or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide use rates should be
reduced to 3.0 fl oz/A in those areas or SPARTAN 4F Herbicide should not be used in those areas. 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 4F 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
observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, SPARTAN 4F Herbicide Product Use
Rates, Rotational Crop Restrictions, Replanting Instructions, Weeds List and any other section of this label pertinent to the anticipated

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPARTAN 4F should be applied as a uniform broadcast soil application to orchard and vineyard floors and to berry beds and 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 berry beds to
provide preemergence control of weeds listed in this section.

For best control, SPARTAN 4F 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 4F should be made at 4 to12 fl oz /A (0.125 to 0.375 lb ai/A). Do not
apply more than 12 fl oz/A (0.375 lb ai/A) per twelve-month period. The twelve- month period is considered to begin when the initial
application of SPARTAN 4F is applied.

For improved weed management, SPARTAN 4F can be applied in a tank mixture with other preemergence and postemergence
burndown herbicides. Burndown herbicides may include, but are not limited to, carfentrazone- ethyl, glyphosate, paraquat,
glufosinate-ammonium, and 2,4-D. Do not tank mix with flumioxazin herbicides or with other products containing sulfentrazone.

When applied as a banded treatment (50% band or less), refer to formula in chart below for rate and volume. SPARTAN 4F may be
applied twice per year. Do not apply more than 12 fl oz /A (0.375 lb ai/A) on a broadcast application basis per twelve- month period.
Allow a minimum of 60 days between applications.

For band treatments, apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. To determine these:

Band Width Inches
X Broadcast
Rate Per Acre = Band Rate
Row Width inches

Band Width inches 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
manufacturer’s spray volume and pressure recommendations for preemergence and postemergence herbicide applications. The
spray solution should have a pH between 5.0 and 9.0.

For apples, citrus fruits, tree nuts (except walnuts), grapes and berries, only apply SPARTAN 4F to crops that have been established
for two full growing season and are in good health and vigor. For walnuts, only apply SPARTAN 4F to crops that have been established
for three full growing seasons 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. Avoid 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 using a mechanically pressurized handgun.

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 4F is a selective soil- applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds found in the
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.

Tank mix SPARTAN 4F with a burndown herbicide and use an appropriate adjuvant when weeds are present at the time of application.
Refer to the tank mix partner’s product label for the proper use rates by weed sizes.

Residual weed control may be reduced when SPARTAN 4F is applied where heavy crop trash such as leaves and branches and /or
weed residues exists. It is best to rake or blow off the leaves and trash when they fall and prior to the SPARTAN 4F application.

Page 41

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 4F applied at 12 fl oz/A (0.375 lb ai/A) may provide control or suppression of sedges whether applied preemergence or
postemergence to the sedges. Postemergence applications to sedges allow SPARTAN 4F 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 federally approved nonionic
surfactant (NIC) at the rate of 0.25% v/v when applying postemergence.

Page 43
When applied as directed, SPARTAN 4F will provide control or suppression of the following sedges.

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 4F. Apply 4-6 fl oz/A followed by a second
application to actively growing purple nutsedge. Do not exceed the maximum rate of 12 fl oz/A (0.375 lb ai/A) per twelve-month period.
SPARTAN 4F symptoms on purple 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.

TURF GRASSES
(Including Residential and Institutional Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Course
Fairways and Roughs and Commercial Sod Production)

SPARTAN 4F Herbicide is a selective soil applied herbicide for the control of certain broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges. When
applied according to directions, it will provide control of susceptible species. SPARTAN 4F Herbicide is formulated as flowable
(suspension concentrate) containing four pounds of the active ingredient sulfentrazone per gallon.
The mode of action of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Observe all instructions, mixing
directions, application precautions and other label information of each product when tank mixing with SPARTAN 4F Herbicide.

Page 45
SPARTAN 4F may be applied to established seeded, sodded or sprigged turfgrasses following the second mowing for the control of
key grass, sedge and broadleaf weeds. Turf grasses should have developed a good root system, a uniform stand with healthy root
systems to fill in the exposed edges prior to application. Turf injury could result from application of this product on turf that is not well
established or has been weakened by stresses such as unfavorable weather conditions, diseases, chemical, recent harvesting or
mechanical influences.

 ** It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars have been evaluated under treatment with SPARTAN 4F. Consult university
or extension weed management specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent
information on SPARTAN 4F under specific local conditions.

***Do not apply more than 12 fl oz/A (0.375 lb ai/A) of SPARTAN 4F Herbicide per twelve-month period. The twelve-month period is
considered to begin upon the initial SPARTAN 4F Herbicide application.

Applications to Reseeded, Overseeded or Sprigged Areas
Reseeding, overseeding or sprigging may be done following SPARTAN 4F applications to turfgrasses. If reseeding, overseeding or
sprigging is done within 1 month following a SPARTAN 4F treatment, the establishment of desirable grasses may be inhibited.
Overseeding of bermudagrass with perennial ryegrass may be done two (2) to four (4) weeks following a SPARTAN 4F application
provided slight grass plant response can be tolerated.
Optimum reseeding and overseeding results may be obtained with the use of mechanical or power seeding equipment, and where
proper soil cultivation, irrigation and fertilization practices are followed.
Adjuvant use
Good spray coverage is required for optimum control of weeds. Temporary discoloration of some sod species may result from use
of surfactant. Do not apply with surfactants.
Postemergence Control of Sedges
SPARTAN 4F may be applied at the rate of 4-12 fl oz/A to established turf grasses for the control or suppression of sedges. Select
the correct SPARTAN 4F use rate from Table 6.
When applied as directed, SPARTAN 4F will provide control or suppression of the following sedges.
