PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
Caution
F9310-6 Herbicide may cause substantial, but temporary, eye injury. DO NOT get in eyes or on clothing. Harmful if
swallowed. Avoid contact with skin or clothing.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear:
Long sleeved shirt and long pants,
Chemical resistant gloves made of EDUULHUODPLQDWHEXW\OUXEEHU•PLOVRUYLWRQ•PLOV
Shoes plus socks
Protective eyewear (goggles or face shield).
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product. DO
NOT reuse them. Follow manufacturers instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and to some plants at very low concentrations. 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
from treated areas may be hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in neighboring areas. DO NOT contaminate water
when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. DO NOT discharge effluent containing this active ingredient into
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance with the requirements of a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and the permitting authority has been notified in writing prior
to discharge. DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product into sewer systems without previously notifying the local
sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance, contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS MUST:
x Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using
tobacco, or using the toilet.
x Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
x Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Ground Water Advisory:
This chemical and its degradation products have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where
the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisories:
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 aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT
contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. This product may impact surface water quality
due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This
product is classified as having a high potential for reaching both surface water and aquatic sediment via runoff for several
months or longer after application. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product
is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of
pyroxasulfone and its degradation product, (5- difluoromethoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methanesulfone acid (M1), from runoff
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur
within 48 hours.
Point Source Contamination:
To prevent point source contamination DO NOT mix or load this or any other pesticide within 50 feet of wells (including
abandoned wells and drainage wells, sink holes, 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 pad or dike mixing/ loading areas as described below.
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted on
an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the pad. The
pad must be self-contained to prevent surface water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be maintained at
110% of that of the largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and has sufficient capacity to
contain all products spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment wash waters and rainwater that may fall on the pad.
The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering pesticides shipments to the mixing/ loading site. States
may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of excess
pesticide, spray mixes, or rinsates. Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment.
Non-target Organism Advisory Statement:
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms., including
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing
spray drift.
Endangered Species Protection Requirements:
This product may have effects on federally listed threatened or endangered plant species or their critical habitat. When
using this product, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the county
or parish in which you are applying the pesticide. To determine whether your county or parish has a Bulletin, and to
obtain that Bulletin, consult “http://www.epa.gov/espp/, or call 1-800-447-3813 no more than 6 months before using this
product. Applicators must use Bulletins that are in effect in the month in which the pesticide will be applied. New Bulletins
will generally be available from the above sources 6 months prior to their effective dates.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
F9310-6 Herbicide, contains both a Group 14 (fluthiacet-methyl) and a Group 15 (pyroxasulfone) 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 more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides
with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural
practices.
Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for
resistance.
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
management program.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present.
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
• Apply full rates of F9310-6 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 weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
local retailer, or county extension agent.
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this
MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application
rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites
of actions for each target weed.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Groups 14 and
15 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-Groups 14 and 15 herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of F9310-6 Herbicide and any other Groups 14 and 15 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, including 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.
Glyphosate Resistant Weeds
Some populations of weeds may be resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides. Applying F9310-6 Herbicide in a tank
mixture with glyphosate for control of emerged resistant weeds larger than specified in Table 10 in a postemergence
application may result in unsatisfactory control. Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved
label for each product in the tank mixture.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all Directions for Use
carefully before applying.
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult
the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR
WEED CONTROL, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label
about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses
of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, protective eyewear (goggles or face shield), chemical resistant gloves

PRODUCT INFORMATION
F9310-6 Herbicide can be applied in all tillage systems (conventional, reduced and no-tillage). F9310-6 Herbicide can
be applied in the fall or in the spring as a preplant, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or early post emergence
treatment for susceptible grass and broadleaf weeds in field corn, seed corn, sweet corn, popcorn, and soybeans. F9310-
6 Herbicide may also be used in double cropping and multiple relay inter-cropping.
Weed Size:
When applying F9310-6 Herbicide alone for post emergent weed control, apply before the weeds have reached the
maximum height listed in Table 10. Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control could
result in commercially unacceptable weed control. For control of weeds in post applications larger than listed in Table
10 and for wider spectrum, apply in tank-mixture with herbicide(s) that are labeled for control of targeted weeds. Uniform
spray coverage is necessary for optimum performance.
Application Instructions and Timing:
Moisture is necessary to activate the active ingredient pyroxasulfone in soil for weed control. Dry weather following
applications of F9310-6 Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry
conditions, F9310-6 Herbicide will control susceptible germinating weeds. F9310-6 Herbicide may not control weeds that
germinate after application but before an activating rainfall/ irrigation of at least ½ inch, or weeds that germinate through
cracks resulting from dry soil. When adequate moisture is not received after F9310-6 Herbicide application, weed control
may be improved by irrigation. DO NOT use on peat or muck soils or mineral soils with 10% or more organic matter
content. Refer to the crop specific information section for specific application rates, timings and the restrictions and
limitations by crop and use pattern.
Application Precautions for Post Emergence Applications:
1. If applying F9310-6 Herbicide post emergence, avoid applications when crop foliage is wet due to heavy dew,
rain, or irrigation moisture. If F9310-6 Herbicide is applied post emergence, shortly before or soon after rainfall,
crop response can occur. Recovery from this response is rapid and normal growth is not delayed. Crop yields will
not be impacted by this crop response.
2. DO NOT apply if crop is under severe stress due to drought, cold weather, hail, flooding, water-logged or
compacted soil, disease, insect damage, nutrient deficiency (especially low nitrogen levels), or other causes.
3. DO NOT tank mix any chlorpyrifos containing insecticide with F9310-6 Herbicide in post applications as crop injury
might occur.
4. DO NOT irrigate within 4 hours of a post emergence application of F9310-6 Herbicide. Rainfall or irrigation within
1 hour may wash F9310-6 Herbicide off of the weeds during this period and may reduce post emergence
performance.
5. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixture with F9310-6 Herbicide.
Restrictions
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• DO NOT use flood irrigation to apply, activate or incorporate this product.
• DO NOT make more than 1 preemergence application to spring corn or soybeans.
• DO NOT harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application of F9310-6 Herbicide.
• DO NOT harvest or feed sweet corn forage or ears until 40 days after the last application of F9310-6 Herbicide.
• DO NOT harvest or feed corn grain or stover (fodder) until 70 days after the last application of F9310-6 Herbicide.
• DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage or hay to livestock.
Ground Application
Use sufficient spray pressure and spray volume for accurate and uniform application. Refer to instructions for the spray
equipment used to determine the actual minimum volume. The carrier may be either water or a sprayable fluid fertilizer.
DO NOT apply this product without dilution in a spray carrier. Apply F9310-6 Herbicide in a minimum of 5 gallons of
water per acre or 10 or more gallons of sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer per treated acre for weed control applications.
For postemergence applications, apply F9310-6 Herbicide in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of finished spray solution.
If a dense crop and/or weed canopy is present, use up to 40 gallons of spray solution per acre.
Aerial Application
Use nozzle types and arrangement that will provide optimum coverage and minimize drift potential. Apply at a minimum
of 3 gallons per acre of finished spray solution. For dense weed populations or heavy crop canopy, a higher spray volume
may be required to obtain adequate spray coverage.
Proper Handling Instructions
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells),
sink holes, 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 pad 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 exclude
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
shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and
operational containment. This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or
improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing Instructions:
1. The spray equipment must be clean before using this product. If it is contaminated with other materials, mixing
problems and/or clogging can occur and/or crop response can occur.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application. Applying the product immediately
after preparation ensures that it is in suspension. If application is delayed, agitation to re-mix the products and
checking for resuspension ensures proper blending.
3. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation.
4. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly after each use and apply rinsate to an appropriate area.
Mixing Steps:
1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water and/or fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank.
2. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry formulation tank
mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse.
3. Add the required amount of F9310-6 Herbicide to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has
completely and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them to
completely and uniformly disperse.
4. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water and/or fertilizer.
5. Complete filling the tank with clean water and/or fertilizer to maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure
surface action until the mixture is uniform.
6. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any tank mix
partner labels.
Mixing F9310-6 Herbicide in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides and Fluid Fertilizers
F9310-6 Herbicide is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. It
is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. BEFORE MIXING
F9310-6 Herbicide WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL
OF THE TANK MIX PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR THE USE ON THE TARGET CROP AND THAT
USE PATTERNS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF F9310-6 Herbicide. When using F9310-6 Herbicide in a tank
mixture with other pesticides, users must observe the most restrictive label limitations and precautionary statements of
each product in the tank mixture. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all
product labels involved in tank mixing.
F9310-6 Herbicide can be used with commonly used clear fluid nitrogen fertilizers (e.g. 28% or 32% UAN). It is
recommended that a preliminary compatibility jar test be conducted using appropriate ratios of F9310-6 Herbicide and
fertilizer.
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application. Applying the product
immediately after preparation ensures that it is in suspension. If application is delayed, agitation to re-mix the products
and checking for resuspension ensures proper blending.
Compatibility Test
A jar test is advised before mixing to ensure F9310-6 Herbicide compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in
the ingredient rates.
1. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars. Note: Use the same source of water and the other components
in the compatibility test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all components are mixed
at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used for the actual application.
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent
to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately
with dry herbicides first, flowables next and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the appropriate amount
of any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate
amount of herbicides for this test follows:
Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar.
Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to each
jar.
4. After adding all ingredients for the tank mixture, replace and tighten lids. Shake jars by inverting the mixture and
then let stand for 15 to 30 minutes.
5. After waiting period, check jars for separation, precipitates, flakes, films on the side, gels or other signs of
incompatibility. If mixtures separate but can be remixed, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation
is used.
6. If the mixtures are incompatible, then try these methods to overcome the problem. A) Make a slurry of dry
pesticides in water before adding them to the tank B) Add more compatibility agent or increase the water volume
of the mixture.
7. If tank mixtures are incompatible, then DO NOT spray the mixture.
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any testing jars and pesticide wastes according to the Pesticide Storage
and Disposal section of this label.
Spray adjuvants for burndown and post applications
An adjuvant or a product containing an adjuvant approved for use on soybean crops may be used with F9310-6 Herbicide
for maximum consistent performance.
Adjuvants for F9310-6 Herbicide:
Use a spray adjuvant from one of these classes for optimum performance for burndown or post applications.
Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) - must have a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as spray adjuvant at the rate of
1 quart/100 gallons of spray volume (concentration of 0.25%).
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Methylated Seed oil (MSO) - petroleum or vegetable-based oil containing not less
than 12% emulsifier. Use 1-2 pts. /A and the concentration must not exceed 2.5% volume/volume. COC/MSO may
improve performance under dry conditions and low relative humidity.
Silicone-based surfactant - apply at a rate of 1 qt/100 gallons or a spray volume concentration of 0.25% or as specified
on the adjuvant label.
In addition to an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at
specified use rates may also be added to the spray solution.
Adjuvants for F9310-6 Herbicide in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides:
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant specified for use with the tank mix partner. Follow all restrictions
and precautions on the tank mix partners label.
DRY FERTILIZER APPLICATION
F9310-6 Herbicide may be impregnated or coated onto dry bulk granular fertilizer carriers for fall and preplant surface
and preplant incorporated applications. Follow all F9310-6 Herbicide label recommendations, instructions and
precautions. All individual state regulations relating to dry granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling and application
are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the herbicide/ fertilizer mixture. Select the F9310-6
Herbicide application rate per acre from this label and determine the quantity of dry bulk fertilizer to be applied per acre
(use a minimum of 200 pounds and a maximum of 750 pounds per acre).
Use the equation below to determine the amount of F9310-6 Herbicide needed per ton of fertilizer applied.
(fl oz of F9310-6 Herbicide per acre X 2000) / pounds fertilizer per acre = fl oz of F9310-6 Herbicide for 1 ton of fertilizer.
F9310-6 Herbicide may be impregnated on many commonly used dry fertilizer but DO NOT impregnate on ammonium
nitrate, fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate or powdered limestone.
To impregnate F9310-6 Herbicide on bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk
fertilizer blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. Mix F9310-6 Herbicide with sufficient water to form a sprayable
slurry mixture. Orient spray nozzles to provide uniform fertilizer coverage while avoiding spray contact with mixing
equipment. Non-uniform impregnation can cause crop injury or unsatisfactory performance.
Spray the herbicide mixture onto the fertilizer after blending has started. If necessary, include a suitable drying agent to
ensure a spreadable herbicide impregnated fertilizer. Apply treated fertilizer immediately after impregnation to avoid
lump formulation and spreading difficulties. Accurate calibration of fertilizer application equipment and uniform fertilizer
distribution is essential for satisfactory weed control. Apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with proper equipment
immediately after blending and moisture is required for activation.

APPLICATION TIMING
Fall Applications for controlling weeds germinating the following spring
F9310-6 Herbicide may be applied in the fall to control weeds in conventional, minimum tillage, or no-till corn production
systems planted the following spring. This fall application program will typically need to be followed with a suitable in-
season postemergence herbicide treatment to provide season long control of the complete target weed spectrum. On
medium soils use 9 to 10 fl oz/A of F9310-6 Herbicide (0.146 - 0.163 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone, 0.0044 - 0.0049 lb ai/A
fluthiacet-methyl). On fine soils use 10 to 13 fl oz/A of F9310-6 Herbicide (0.163 - 0.212 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone, 0.0049 -
0.0064 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) in corn and 10 to 11.4 fl oz/A (0.163 - 0.186 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone, 0.0049 - 0.0056 lb
ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) in soybeans.
Fall Applications for controlling weeds germinating in the fall or winter annual weeds
F9310-6 Herbicide may be applied in the fall for burndown and residual control. For control of emerged weeds in the fall
use combinations with other burndown herbicides like Aim (EPA Reg. No. 279-3241,Carfentrazone-ethyl), 2,4-D,
dicamba, glyphosate, paraquat or glufosinate. Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved
label for each product in the tank mixture. If a se quential application program (fall application followed by spring
application of F9310-6 Herbicide) is used, the maximum combined rate of F9310-6 Herbicide must not exceed 16.3 fl
oz/A 0.266 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone and 0.008 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year for corn and 11.4 fl oz/A 0.186 lb ai/A
pyroxasulfone and 0.0056 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year in soybeans. DO NOT exceed 2-inch incorporation depth if
tilled after application. Use the highest rate within soil type. F9310-6 Herbicide may be broadcast surface applied in the
fall after crop harvest when soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are sustained at less than 55º F and before the ground
freezes to control weeds in minimum or no tillage fields planted the following spring. Fall applications must be made after
October 1. DO NOT apply to frozen or snow-covered soil.
Preplant, preemergence and early preplant applications
F9310-6 Herbicide may be applied prior to planting up to crop emergence. Apply F9310-6 Herbicide alone or in tank
mixtures, up to 45 days before planting. See specific crop sections for further directions and use rates. For popcorn and
sweet corn, preplant surface applications are not recommended on coarse soils, in areas where average annual rainfall
(or rainfall + irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches, or for popcorn or sweet corn. Cultivation or a labeled postemergence
herbicide application may still be required under certain conditions for complete weed control.
If weeds are present at the time of application, use additional weed control methods including tank mixes with an
appropriate postemergence herbicide(s) to control emerged weeds and follow all label directions, rates, restrictions, and
precautions on the tank mixture partner labeling.
Preplant incorporated (PPI) applications
For PPI applications of F9310-6 Herbicide incorporate into the upper (1-2”) soil surface up to 14 days before planting.
Deeper incorporation may increase the potential for crop injury and also may result in reduced weed control. Use
appropriate equipment that provides uniform shallow incorporation, such as a field cultivator, harrow, rolling cultivator or
finishing disc.
Early Post emergence applications
In corn, apply F9310-6 Herbicide from crop emergence through V4 stage (visible 4
th leaf collar). In soybeans, apply
F9310-6 Herbicide from planting through the third trifoliate (V3) leaf stage. The amount of F9310-6 Herbicide to apply
and the degree of weed control resulting from a F9310-6 Herbicide application depends upon a variety of factors such
as weeds present, stage of growth of the weeds, environmental conditions, growing conditions and soil type.
Under stressful growing conditions, (i.e. saturated soils, cold soil temperatures, slow growth, etc) the crop may
experience higher risk for temporary crop response. The crop will rapidly outgrow these effects and develop normally
with no reduction in yield.
Before applying to corn, verification of F9310-6 Herbicide selectivity on your inbred line or hybrid line must be confirmed
with your local seed company or supplier to avoid injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids.
Split applications
F9310-6 Herbicide can be applied in sequential programs, but DO NOT exceed the maximum use rate per year. DO
NOT exceed a maximum of 16.3 fl oz/A (0.266 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone and 0.008 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year in corn.
On coarse soils DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of 6.8 fl oz/A F9310-6 Herbicide (0.111 lb ai/A
pyroxasulfone and 0.0033 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year in soybeans. On other soybean soils DO NOT apply more
than a cumulative amount of 11.4 fl oz/A (0.186 lb ai/A pyroxasulfone and 0.0056 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl) per year in
soybeans. Where weeds are emerged, use appropriate tank mixtures for control of the weed species present. Separate
sequential applications by at least 14 days.
F9310-6 Herbicide in Tank Mixtures
For enhanced control of emerged weeds use F9310-6 Herbicide in combination with other labeled burndown herbicide
products for the crop like Aim
® EC Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 279-3241, Carfentrazone-ethyl), 2,4-D, dicamba, glyphosate,
paraquat, glufosinate and products containing saflufenacil (e.g. Sharpen ® (EPA Reg. No. 7969-278, Saflufenacil)
Verdict®, (EPA Reg. No. 7969-279, Dimethenamid-P + Saflufenacil) or OpTill® (EPA Reg. No. 7969-280, Imazethapyr +
Saflufenacil). Saflufenacil may be applied prior to planting at any time in combination with F9310-6.
F9310-6 Herbicide may be applied pre and post emergence with glufosinate or glyphosate-based products, or other pre
and postemergence broadleaf herbicides approved for use on corn. Tank mixing F9310-6 Herbicide with other
postemergence herbicides may increase the speed of activity and provide control of the weeds listed in Table 10. F9310-
6 Herbicide may be tank-mixed with labeled insecticides for that crop such as Hero ® Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 279-
3315, Bifenthrin + Zeta-Cypermethrin), or Mustang ® Maxx (EPA Reg. No. 279-3426, Zeta-Cypermethrin) and with
labeled fungicides. Some populations of weeds may be resistant to glyphosate-based herbicides. Applying F9310-6
Herbicide in a tank-mix with glyphosate on resistant weeds larger than specified in Table 10 may result in unsatisfactory
control. Other herbicides in tank-mix with F9310-6 Herbicide or separately may be required to achieve adequate control
of these resistant biotypes. Follow all directions, restrictions and precautions on the EPA-approved label for each product
in the tank mixture and follow the most restrictive requirements of the products being mixed.

Aerial Applications:
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater 
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators must select nozzle and pressure 
that deliver coarse or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological 
Engineers Standard 641(ASABE S641).
• For all other applications, applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets 
in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
• The boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fi xed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor 
diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use a minimum of one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control.
While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest
practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a
higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed
to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine
droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields
are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications
during temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
Take precautions to minimize spray drift
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and
carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additives label. If using an additive that
increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray
solution.
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Many pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment, spray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible
after spraying F9310-6 Herbicide and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer
equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to
ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F9310-6 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. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100
gallons 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
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.
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 for any extended period of time with F9310-6 Herbicide 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 F9310-6 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.
To the extent consistent with applicable law, FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned
equipment.
When F9310-6 Herbicide has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously, or tank mixed with
F9310-6 Herbicide for cleaning instructions.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If corn or soybeans treated with F9310-6 Herbicide is lost due to a natural catastrophe such as hail or frost, corn or
soybeans can be replanted immediately, provided this is not restricted on the label of a product used previously or by a
product applied in a tank mixture with F9310-6 Herbicide.
