GENERAL INFORMATION 
Gauntlet Herbicide Is for preemergence control of broad leaf and grass 
weeds in soybeans. 
The mode of action of Gauntlet involves uptake by weed roots and shol;lts. 
Praemergence and preplant incorporated applications of Gauntlet require 
rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or iniga­
tlon required for activation following application depends on existing soil 
moisture, organic matter content and soA texture. If adequate moisture (11" 
to 1") Is not received within 7 to 10 days after the Gauntlet treatment, a shal­
low cultivation may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When suffl· 
cient moisture Is received after dry conditions, Gauntlet will provide control 
of susceptible germinating weeds. 
Gauntlat exhibits excellent crop safety. Poor growing conditions, such as 
excessive moisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the pres­
ence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these con­
ditions, the active ingredients in Gauntlet, like other soil-applied herbi­
cides, can contribute to crop response. However, these early symptoms 
are short-lived. Early crop response has not resulted in yield reductions 
in research trials. 
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application pre­
cautions, replanting directions, rotational crop guidelines and other label 
information of "each product when tank mixing with Gauntlet.

Ground application on~y 
Use a standard low pressure herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable 
nozzles and screens. Apply uniformly using properly calibrated nozzles (10 
to 40 psi) and screens and strainers no finer than 50 mesh. Use 10 to 40 
gallons of spray solution per,acre. 
Continuous agitation during application is required. Avoid overlap. Shut off 
spray booms while tuming, slowing or stopping, as over application may 
result. Avoid letting Gauntlet sit ovemight as settling of product and difficul­
ty of resuspending may occur. 
To avoid Injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Gauntlet appli. 
cations must be drained and thoroughly cleaned with water plus ammonia 
before being used to apply other products. 
Avoid all direct or indirect contact with non-targ.t plants, 00 not apply 
near desirable vegetation and allow adequate distance between target area 
and desirable plJillnts to minimize exposure. 
RUNOFF AND WIND EROSION PRECAUTIONS 
Do' not apply und.r conditions which favor runoff or wind .ro.lon of 
soli containing Gauntl.t to non-target ar.... To prevent off·.lt. 
mov.m.nt due to runoff or wind ero.lon: 
- Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are 
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions. the soil surface 
should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. • 
• Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly com­
pacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered ground. 
• Do not apply to soils when saturated with water. 
• Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated 
fields to treat non target crops unless at least 'h inch of rainfall has 
occurred between application and the first irrigation.

Bumdown Application: Gauntlet provides bumdown of certain weeds list­
ed below. Thorough coverage Is essential and use a minimum of ten gallons 
per acre finished spray volume. Use a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) having at 
least 80% active ingredient strength at 0.125--0.25% vJv (1-2 pints per 100 
gallons of spray solution) plus ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 2.5% v/v. Crop 
oil concentrate (COe) at 1.2% vlv plus ammonium sulfate may be used. 
Bumdown results may be slowed or reduced when the growth of the weeds 
is affected by unusual environmental factors just prior to or aftar application 
such as especially cool or widely fluctuating day and night air temperatures," 
drought, heat stress, or waterlogged soils. To broaden the spectrum of 
weeds controlled, Gauntlet may be tank mixed with other herbicides such as
