|
||
Endangered Species: It is a Federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of an endangered species.
|
||
Use of this product may pose a hazard to endangered or threatened species. When using this product, you must follow the measures
|
||
contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the county in which you are applying the product. To obtain Bulletins, no
|
||
more than six months before using this product, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/ or call 1-800-447-3813. You must use the Bulletin

valid for the month in which you will apply the product.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, which contains the active ingredients Carfentrazone-ethyl 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 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 succ essful 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 CHARGE CAL 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 these MOAs have been found in your
|
||
region. 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. Some weeds may be controlled by only one of the active
|
||
ingredient 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; and
|
||
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
· Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
|
||
· Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
· Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 herbicides.
|
||
· Avoid making more than two applications of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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.
|
||
· Mana
|
||
ge weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is a selective herbicide that provides postemergent contact and soil residual weed control. SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL may be applied as a burndown prior to planting, early preplant, or as a preemergent application before or after weed
|
||
emergence for control of susceptible broadleaf weeds. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is a 3.5 pound per gallon suspoemulsion containing
|
||
the active ingredients carfentrazone-ethyl and sulfentrazone. Applications of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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.
|
||
|
||
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting directions, rotational crop guidelines
|
||
and other label information of each product when tank mixing with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. In addition to general application
|
||
information, refer to the specific directions of use for a particular crop/use pattern as set forth below.
|
||
|
||
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 excl ude
|
||
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pestic ide
|
||
container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. Th e
|
||
above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loadin g
|
||
site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.

|
||
PRODUCT APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer, or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and applied in fall ow
|
||
systems or as a preplant burndown or preemergence herbicide to labeled crops. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL provides postemergent
|
||
contact and soil residual control of susceptible weed species.
|
||
|
||
Emerged, susceptible broadleaf weeds are easiest to control when they are small (less than 3 inches tall) and actively growing.
|
||
Thorough coverage is essential for control of small susceptible broadleaf weeds. If thorough coverage is not achieved postemergent
|
||
weed control will be poor. Always use the higher application rate of this product, for the appropriate soil texture and organic matter,
|
||
when weed growth is dense or heavy, or when weeds are growing in an undisturbed or non-cultivated area. Reduced weed control
|
||
may occur if weeds are experiencing drought stress, disease or insect damage, or when weeds are thickly covered with dust. For
|
||
control of weeds not listed on this label SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be tank-mixed with other herbicides such as glyphosate. Read
|
||
and follow all manufacturers’ label directions for the companion herbicide(s) except for specific use directions on this label. The use
|
||
of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum control of emerged weeds. Refer to the individual crop sections of this la bel for
|
||
specific adjuvant type and use rates.
|
||
|
||
The residual activity of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL applications requires adequate moisture for herbicidal activation. The amount of
|
||
residual activity is dependent on several factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, existing soil moisture at application, soil
|
||
type, organic matter, and tilth. Where irrigation is not available and rainfall has not provided activation, particularly for s urface
|
||
applications of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, a shallow incorporation (less than 2”) is recommended for destruction of any existing weeds
|
||
and to incorporate SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. Herbicide incorporation will initiate the process of activation with existing soil moisture.
|
||
In circumstances where rainfall has not occurred and/or irrigation is not possible, alternative or additional weed management practices
|
||
may be required.
|
||
|
||
Under normal growing conditions, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL exhibits excellent crop safety. Soil applications of SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL must be made before crop seed germination to prevent injury to the emerging crop seedlings. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL applied
|
||
after crop emergence will cause severe injury to the crop. Poor growing conditions, such as excessive moisture, cool temperatur es,
|
||
and soil compaction or the presence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these conditions, the active ingredients
|
||
in SPARTAN CHARGE CAL can contribute to crop response. Refer to the specific directions of use for a particular crop/use pattern
|
||
as set forth below for additional information.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOIL FACTORS INFLUENCING SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
APPLICATIONS
|
||
Do not apply to soils classified as sand with less than 1% organic matter.
|
||
The user is required to read and follow the specific SPARTAN CHARGE CAL use directions and restrictions for each crop as defined
|
||
in subsequent sections of this label. The user is cautioned that some crops and weeds respond differently to SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL. This response is governed by the SPARTAN CHARGE CAL application rate, various soil factors and inherent crop sensitivity.
|
||
See individual crop use sections for specific directions on the use of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL for optimum weed control and crop
|
||
safety results in each crop.

|
||
INFLUENCE OF CLAY, SOIL TYPE, AND PH ON SPARTAN CHARGE CAL USE RATES AND CROP RESPONSE
|
||
Following an application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up SPARTAN CHARGE CAL from
|
||
the soil solution. The amount of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL in the soil solution, and available for weed uptake, is determined primarily
|
||
by soil type, organic matter, and soil pH. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL adsorbs to the clay and organic matter fractions of soils; effectively
|
||
limiting the amount of active ingredient immediately available to control weeds. Soils typically increase in clay content thro ugh the
|
||
series from coarse to fine as noted in the following Soil Classification Chart.

|
||
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 affect on SPARTAN CHARGE CAL availability in the soil solution. As soil pH increases, SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL availability increases. Accurate soil pH information will require an accurate analysis of representative soil samples.
|
||
|
||
The total amount of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL available, 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 SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
in soil solution.
|
||
|
||
Irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a SPARTAN CHARGE CAL soil application can also significantly increase the
|
||
amount of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL available in the soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH greater than 7.5 could result i n
|
||
adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL recommendations 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.
|
||
|
||
MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Water or liquid fertilizer solutions may be used as the carrier for SPARTAN CHARGE CAL when applied alone or in tank mixtures with
|
||
other registered herbicides. A jar test is recommended to determine the compatibility of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL and the fertilizer
|
||
solution. When mixing with fertilizer solutions it is important to premix SPARTAN CHARGE CAL in clear water. See directions f or
|
||
applying SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone with liquid fertilizer in Application Information.
|
||
A crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil, nonionic surfactant (NIS) wetting agent labeled, or other equivalent adjuvant labe led for
|
||
use with herbicides is required for optimum control of emerged weeds. Read and follow all applicable use directions, precautions and
|
||
restrictions on the surfactant label.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Applied Alone
|
||
Select the proper SPARTAN CHARGE CAL application rate from the following tables in the crop section of this label. Fill the sp ray
|
||
tank with approximately one-half of the volume of water needed for the acreage being treated. With agitator operating, add the required
|
||
amount of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL for acreage being treated by opening the bottle(s) and measuring directly into the spray tank.
|
||
Allow the product to fully disperse. Complete the addition of spray water. Maintain agitation during filling, mixing and appli cation.
|
||
Apply the SPARTAN CHARGE CAL spray mixture immediately after mixing.
|
||
Do not store spray mixture.
|
||
Do not prepare spray mixtures in nurse tanks.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Applied in Tank Mix Combination
|
||
Select the proper SPARTAN CHARGE CAL application rate from TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION section of label. Read
|
||
and follow all applicable use directions, precautions and restrictions on the respective tank mix product labels. To ensure pro duct
|
||
compatibility, a jar test should be conducted before large volume mixing (see MIXTURE COMPATIBILITY TESTING chart below).
|
||
Provided the jar test indicates the mixture is compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows.
|
||
|
||
Fill the spray tank with approximately one-half of the volume of water needed for the acreage being treated. With agitator oper ating,
|
||
add the required amount of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL for the acreage being treated by opening the bottle(s) and measuring directly
|
||
into the spray tank. Allow the product to fully disperse. If more than one product is to be used, add each separately using the following
|
||
sequence: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL and other liquid suspensions (e.g.,
|
||
flowables) next and finally liquids (e.g., EC’s). Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after each addition, adding wa ter as
|
||
necessary. Complete the addition of spray water. Maintain agita tion during filling, mixing and application. Use SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL tank mixtures immediately after mixing.

Do not prepare spray mixtures in nurse tanks.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Applied Alone with Liquid Fertilizer
|
||
When adding SPARTAN CHARGE CAL to a liquid fertilizer carrier, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL should be premixed in clear water before
|
||
adding to fertilizer solution. Adding SPARTAN CHARGE CAL to fert ilizer mixtures without first mixing with water can result in
|
||
incompatibility.
|
||
|
||
Fill the spray tank one-half full with fertilizer solution. With agitator operating, add the SPARTAN CHARGE CAL slurry to the s pray
|
||
tank. Use a minimum of one gallon of water for each container of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. Then add slurry to the spray tank
|
||
through a 20-35 mesh screen. Rinse container used for pre-mixing and add rinsate to the spray tank. Complete filling the sprayer tank
|
||
with fertilizer. Maintain agitation during filling, mixing and application. Use SPARTAN CHARGE CAL spray mixture immediately after
|
||
mixing.
|
||
Do not store mixture.
|
||
Do not prepare spray mixtures in nurse tanks.
|
||
|
||
Jar Testing Fertilizer Spray Mixtures
|
||
Applications of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone, or with recommended tank mixtures, in conjunction with clear liquid fertilizer solutions
|
||
(28-32% nitrogen only) may be used unless use directions specifically state otherwise. Small quantities should be tested for
|
||
compatibility by the following procedure before mixing in full spray tank quantities.
|
||
1) Add 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
|
||
2) Add the appropriate amount of herbicide based on the MIXTURE COMPATIBILITY table below. If more than one product is to be
|
||
used, add each separately using the following sequence: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid
|
||
suspensions (e.g., flowables) next and finally liquids (e.g., EC’s).
|
||
3) Close jar and shake well.
|
||
4) Watch mixture for several seconds, again after 5 minutes and ag ain after 30 minutes. If herbicide/fertilizer combination rem ains
|
||
mixed or can be remixed readily (i.e., does not permanently separate, foam, gel or become lumpy), the mixture is compatible and can
|
||
be mixed in full volumes and sprayed. If the mixture is compatible, prepare spray by adding fertilizer solution to the tank first, and then
|
||
follow directions noted below.

Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) or a crop oil concentrate (COC) adjuvant, labeled for use with herbicides, is required for optimum
|
||
control of emerged weeds. A nonionic surfactant adjuvant and water conditioning agent is recommended when SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL is tank-mixed with glyphosate. Read and follow all applicable use directions, precautions and restrictions on the surfactant label.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
|
||
Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles and screens and adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution
|
||
and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Use nozzles that that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Do not
|
||
exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons
|
||
of finished spray per acre. When tank mixed with a contact burndown herbicide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume
|
||
of 15 gallons per acre. Use higher spray volumes when there is a dense weed population. Thorough coverage is essential for control
|
||
of susceptible broadleaf weeds. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping, or turning while spraying
|
||
may result in excessive application and subsequent crop response.
|
||
|
||
Continuous agitation is required until all spray mixture has been applied. Avoid swath overlaps. Shut off spray booms while tu rning,
|
||
slowing or stopping, as over application may result. Do not allow SPARTAN CHARGE CAL spray mixtures to sit overnight as settling
|
||
of product and difficulty of re-suspending may occur.
|
||
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for SPARTAN CHARGE CAL applications must be drained and thoroughly
|
||
cleaned with water CHARGE ammonia before being used to apply other products. See Spray Clean-out section.
|
||
Avoid all direct, and/or indirect spray contact with non-target plants. Do not apply near desirable vegetation. Allow adequate distance
|
||
between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area of treatment.
|
||
|
||
Runoff and Wind Erosion Precautions
|
||
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL to non-target areas.
|
||
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, allo w the
|
||
soil surface to be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
• Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered ground.
|
||
• Do not apply to soils when saturated with water.
|
||
• Do not use tail water from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non target crops unless at least 1 /2 inch of
|
||
rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
Aerial application is allowed only when environmental conditions prohibit ground application. Apply sufficient spray volume to
|
||
achieve adequate coverage. When this product is allowed to be applied by air, applicator must use a minimum finished spray
|
||
volume of 5 gallons per acre
|
||
x For Aerial applications, the distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of the
|
||
wingspan or 90% of rotor diameter. To further reduce drift, use on half of the length of the wingspan or rotor diameter at the
|
||
edge of the filed.
|
||
• Applicators must only spray when wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less.
|
||
• Applicators must not spray during temperature inversions.
|
||
• For aerial applications, the release height must be no higher than 10 feet from the top of the crop canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is required for pilot safety.
|
||
• For aerial applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
|
||
manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• For ground boom applications, apply with the nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. For all
|
||
other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 4 feet from the target vegetation.
|
||
• For ground applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
|
||
manufacturer’s catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
|
||
Carfentrazone-ethyl is a contact herbicide. Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegeta tion.
|
||
Carfentrazone-ethyl is not volatile; however, mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants.
|
||
|
||
The interaction of equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible
|
||
for considering all these factors when making decisions.
|
||
|
||
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from applications to agricultural fie ld crops.
|
||
These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public he alth uses, or to applications of dry materials. Where states have more
|
||
stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
|
||
Information on droplet size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The optimum drift management strategy is to apply the largest
|
||
droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift when applications
|
||
are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
|
||
|
||
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
|
||
|
||
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to
|
||
application.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows usually produce large r
|
||
droplets.
|
||
|
||
Pressure - Do not use pressures greater than that specified by the nozzle manufacturer. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces
|
||
larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
|
||
Nozzle Orientation – For aerial application, orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream. A parallel orientation results
|
||
in larger droplets than other orientations and reduces air turbulence and the production of small droplets. Significant deflection from horizontal
|
||
will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
|
||
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger
|
||
droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles. For aerial applications, solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the la rgest droplets
|
||
and potentially the least drift.
|
||
|
||
Boom Length - For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 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 spray droplets to evaporation and wind
|
||
movement. Aerial applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height
|
||
is required for aircraft safety.
|
||
drops, etc.).
|
||
|
||
Swath Adjustment: Swath adjustment distance must increase, with increasing drift potential (higher winds, smaller drops, etc.)
|
||
|
||
Wind - Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
||
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Applications shall be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion
|
||
potential. Do not apply Carfentrazone-ethyl when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Ev ery
|
||
applicator shall be familiar with local wind patterns and how they 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 – Do not apply carfentrazone-ethyl during a temperature inversion because the drift potential is high. Temperature
|
||
inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud ca n move in
|
||
unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the su n sets and
|
||
often continue into the following morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog. However, if fog is not present, inversions can also
|
||
be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves lateral ly in a
|
||
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
vertical air mixing.
|
||
|
||
Shielded Sprayers - Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator
|
||
to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
Sensitive Areas – Carfentrazone-ethyl shall only be applied when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential
|
||
areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species and non-target crops).
|
||
|
||
Off-Target Movement of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL – Drift of dilute spray mixtures containing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL must be
|
||
prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application
|
||
practices will significantly diminish the risk of of-target spray drift. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL can cause significant symptomology by
|
||
drift on to sensitive crops and other plants. This symptomology may manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where conta ct by
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL drift mixtures. Depending on concentration of the spray solution and droplet size (effectively determining
|
||
the concentration of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL) and also depending on the inherent sensitivity of the plants involved, these spots or
|
||
lesions may not coalesce. These effects will usually not have lasting effects on plant growth, but will likely reduce the value of affected
|
||
fruit of foliage where grade or quality is associated with appearance. In severe drift instances with particularly sensitive c rops,
|
||
defoliation of affected foliage could result. Failure to follow these guidelines and environmental prohibitions that then resu lt in off-
|
||
target movement or drift of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
|
||
After spraying SPARTAN CHARGE CAL and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer must be
|
||
thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure.
|
||
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, and spray boom and thoroughly rinse the inside of the sprayer tank with clean water to remove sediment
|
||
and residues. Thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
2. Fill the tank 1/2 full with clean water, and add appropriate detergent or ammonia (follow manufacturer’s directions for use). Fill the
|
||
tank to capacity and operate the sprayer for 15 minutes to flush hoses, boom, and nozzles.
|
||
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the cleaning solution is left in the spray tank, hoses, spray
|
||
booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
4. Before using the sprayer, drain the spray system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the hoses, boom, and nozzles.
|
||
Remove and clean spray tips and screens separately with the detergent or ammonia solution.
|
||
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations and guidelines.
|
||
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.
|
||
Should small quantities of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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.

|
||
Shown below are the minimum intervals in months from the time of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL application until SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL treated soil may be replanted with the crops listed. When SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is tank mixed with other herbicide(s), refer
|
||
to all those labels for re-cropping instructions, following the intervals that are the most restrictive. For crops not listed, the interval is
|
||
12 months in addition to a successful field bioassay.
|
||
|
||
The field bioassay is a test strip of the intended crop planted across the previously treated field and grown to maturity. The test strip
|
||
should include low spots, knolls, and variable pH and soil types. If crop responses are not observed, the crop may be planted the
|
||
following year.

|
||
accept responsibility for any crop injury on field corn grown for seed following an application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL.
|
||
|
||
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
If the initial planting of labeled crops fails to produce a uniform stand, only labeled crops for SPARTAN CHARGE CAL or the tank mix
|
||
partner; whichever is most restrictive, may be replanted. Do not retreat fields with a second application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
or other herbicide containing sulfentrazone. When tank mixing with a labeled product, refer to the replant instructions for that product.
|
||
Do not replant treated fields with any crop at intervals that are inconsistent with the CROP ROTATION INTERVALS on this label.
|
||
When replanting use minimum soil tillage to preserve the herbicide barrier and achieve maximum weed control.

|
||
Adjuvant Requirements
|
||
For optimum control of emerged weeds a nonionic surfactant, crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil, or equivalent adjuvant i s
|
||
required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints/100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient or
|
||
a petroleum or oil seed based crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1.5 to 2.0% v/v (1.5 to 2.0 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution) or a
|
||
methylated seed oil (MSO). A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2.0 to 4.0% v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gall ons) or
|
||
ammonium sulfate at 2 to 4 pounds per acre may be used in addition to the selected NIS, COC, or MSO. When an adjuvant is to be
|
||
used with this product, FMC recommends use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
|
||
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad-spectrum burndown herbicide such
|
||
as glyphosate, glufosinate, or paraquat. When tank mixi ng SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other products be sure the SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL is added to the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions refer to the Mixing and Loading instructio ns
|
||
section of this label.
|
||
|
||
For all products used in tank mixes refer to the specific product labels for all restrictions on tank mixing and observe all la bel
|
||
precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping restrictions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Precautions
|
||
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL and the primary soil and
|
||
environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to obs erve
|
||
the instructions and guidance previously presented under General Application Instructions, General SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Product
|
||

|
||
Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section of this label pertinent t o the
|
||
anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given crop species have been evaluated u nder
|
||
treatment with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. Consult university or extension weed management specialists for additional information on
|
||
specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent information on SPARTAN CHARGE CAL under specific local conditions .
|
||
Thorough coverage is essential for contro l of small susceptible broadleaf weeds . If thorough coverage is not achieved,
|
||
postemergent weed control will be poor. If adequate moisture (1/2” to 1” of rainfall or irrigation) is not received within 7 to 10 days and
|
||
also if dry conditions persist throughout the growing season, erratic preemergent weed control may result. Additional moisture is
|
||
needed throughout the growing season to maintain herbicide activity and prevent weed escapes.
|
||
|
||
When used as directed, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will provide preemergent control of the following weeds (refer to
|
||
POSTEMERGENT WEEDS CONTROLLED section for postemergent weeds controlled):
|
||

Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burndown or preemergence treatment prior to
|
||
emergence of corn to control or suppress weeds using rates in table below. Properly closed seed furrows are required when applying
|
||
at planting time or before seed germination. When planting into soil treated preplant with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, minimize soil
|
||
disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed control. Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
using the rates in Table below.
|
||
|
||
For applications 14-21 or more 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 below. Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad-
|
||

Use higher rates for soils of pH less than 7.0 and lower rates for pH greater than 7.0 within the rate range.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ground and Aerial Applications
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL by aerial application as a preemergence treatment following planting and after dragoff, but prior to
|
||
potato emergence. Optimum performance can be achieved if SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 area s without
|
||
irrigation, a shallow incorporation (less than 2 inches) may be needed prior to weed and potato emergence to activate the produ ct.
|
||
Select the appropriate use rate based on soil texture and organic matter as shown in Table above. For control of emerged weeds at
|
||
the time of the Spartan application, an appropriate burndown herbicide and adjuvants labeled for potatoes may be tankmixed with
|
||
Spartan to control these weeds. Do not apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL if the potatoes have emerged from the soil as undesirable
|
||
crop response may occur. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be tankmixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in potatoes
|
||
to improve weed management and increase weed control spectrum.
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray by ground application and 5 gallons of spray by air.
|
||
Chemigation Applications
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL 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) follo wing a SPARTAN CHARGE CA L soil application ma y
|
||
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 CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL will provide control of:
|
||
Amaranth, Palmer Ni ghtshade, Eastern black
|
||
Filaree, redstem Pi gweed, redroot
|
||
Kochia (ALS and Triazine
|
||
Resistant)

||
Pigweed, smooth
|
||
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
|
||
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhemp, common
|
||
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
|
||
Also control all those weeds which are susceptible to carfentrazone application.
|
||
For information on other weeds not listed above, refer to Weed Controlled section in this label.
|
||
Precautions
|
||
Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applications. When using SPARTAN CHARGE CAL on an untested
|
||
variety, always determine the crop tolerance before planting. Some potato varieties, including Sangre, Shepody and
|
||
Snowden, have shown sensitivity to SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. 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 CHARGE CAL (sulfentrazone and
|
||
carfentrazone) 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 General Application Instruction s,
|
||
General SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled 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 CHARGE CAL. Consult university or extension weed management
|
||
specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent information on SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL under specific local conditions.
|
||

Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burndown or preemergence treatment prior to
|
||
planting or within 3 days after planting soybeans to control or suppress weeds using rates in Table below. Properly closed see d
|
||
furrows are required when applying at planting time or before seed germination. When planting into soil treated preplant with
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, minimize soil disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed
|
||
control.
|
||
|
||
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad-spectrum burndown herbicide such
|
||
as glyphosate, glufosinate, or paraquat. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL applied early pre-plant must be applied in combination with the
|
||
appropriate burndown herbicide such as glyphosate, glufosinate, gramoxone, and/or 2,4-D to achieve acceptable control of existi ng
|
||
weeds during application. When tank mixing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other products, be sure the SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
is added to the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions refer to the Mixing and Loading instructions section of this label.

Precautions
|
||
When applying SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other registered herbicides, refer to specific label information on precautions,
|
||
instructions, limitations, application methods and timings, and weeds controlled.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is especially effective against a wide range of economic broadleaf weeds. The same processes that
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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
|
||
discoloration. The duration of these effects are somewhat dependent on the duration of the adverse growing conditions. These effects
|
||
lessen and generally diminish with a return to normal growing conditions. Thorough coverage is essential for control of small
|
||
susceptible broadleaf weeds. If thorough coverage is not achieved, postemergent weed control will be poor.
|
||
|
||
When used as directed, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will provide preemergent control of the following weeds (refer to
|
||
POSTEMERGENT WEEDS CONTROLLED section for postemergent weeds controlled):

Fall Application, Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
|
||
Fall Application
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be applied in the fall following crop harvest or in existing fallow fields to control or suppress weeds the
|
||
following season. The SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Rotational Crop Guidelines must be followed if crops are planted the next season.
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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. Do not apply to frozen soils to prevent SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL runoff from rain or snow that may occur following application. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL reaching the soil surface, a separate burndown applicati on prior to the applic ation of SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL will be required. Use full, recommended rates of burndown herbicides in combination with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL,
|
||
or sequential applications as needed. Higher aerial spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or canopy.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL can be tank mixed with other herbicides. 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 o r
|
||
restrictions.
|
||
|
||
Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burndown or preemergence treatment prior to
|
||
planting or up to 3 days after planting sunflowers to control or suppress weeds using rates in table below. Properly closed se ed
|
||
furrows are required when applying at planting time or before seed germination. When planting into soil treated preplant with
|

Precautions
|
||
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 , hill tops, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL use rates should be reduced or
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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, so il
|
||
compaction and diseases may also cause undesirable crop response.

|
||
Fall Applications
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting the following
|
||
spring. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL runoff from rain or
|
||
snow melt that may occur following application. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be tank mixed with other residual soil herbicides that
|
||
are labeled for fall use on dry bean and dry peas. If weeds are em erged at the time of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL application, use a
|
||
burndown herbicide such as glyphosate or paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL or split
|
||
application as needed. Select the appropriate rate from the table below within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When
|
||
applying SPARTAN CHARGE CAL in the fall, use a mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropriate soil type and organic
|
||
matter.
|
||
Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burndown or preemergence treatment prior to
|
||
planting or up to 3 days after planting dry shelled peas and beans to control or suppress weeds. Properly closed seed furrows are
|
||
required when applying at pl anting time. When planting into soil treated pr eplant with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, minimize soil
|
||
disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed control.
|
||
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad-spectrum burndown herbicide such

SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent
|
||
weed control.
|
||
Broadcast apply the appropriate SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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
|
||
CHARGE CAL. Once the field has been prepared for planting, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be surface applied or lightly preplant
|
||
incorporated from 14 days to 12 hours prior to transplanting.
|
||
If SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL
|
||
application.
|
||
When incorporating prior to bedding, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL must be thoroughly and uniformly incorporated to a depth no greater
|
||
than 2 inches to avoid concentrating SPARTAN CHARGE CAL in the bed.
|
||
If initial transplanting fails to produce a uniform stand, tobacco may be replanted. DO NOT re-treat field with a second applic ation of
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, 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.

Precautions
|
||
Poor agronomic practices, unfavorable pH soils, diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, drought or other conditions unfavorable
|
||
to normal plant growth may adversely effect the growth of tobacco transplants. Weakened transplants may be more susceptible to
|
||
herbicide response and diseases, particularly under poor drainage or compacted soil conditions or when the soil has been saturated
|
||
for long periods of time. Contact your State Agricultural Extension Service Specialist for consultation as to the agronomic
|
||
recommendations suited for your tobacco varieties and local conditions. Temporary stunting of tobacco may occur if transplants are
|
||
set too shallowly, or if heavy rainfall occurs immediately following transplanting. Splashing of treated soil onto tobacco lea ves may
|
||
cause some localized and inconsequential necrosis. Use sound transplanting practices that insure treated soil will not wash or crust
|
||
over tobacco plants.
|
||
|
||
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL (sulfentrazone and
|
||

Preplant Burndown, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burndown or preemergence treatment prior to
|
||
planting or within 3 days after planting peanuts to control or suppress weeds using rates in Table below. Properly closed seed furrows
|
||
are required when applying at planting time or before seed germination. When planting into soil treated preplant with SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL, minimize soil disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed control.
|
||
|
||
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with a broad-spectrum burndown herbicide such
|
||
as glyphosate, glufosinate, or paraquat. When tank mixing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other products, be sure the SPARTAN
|
||
CHARGE CAL is added to the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions refer to the Mixing and Loading instructio ns

Precautions
|
||
When applying SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other registered herbicides, refer to specific label information on precautions,
|
||
instructions, limitations, application methods and timings, and weeds controlled.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is especially effective against a wide range of economic broadleaf weeds. The same processes that
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL affects in these weeds can, under certain conditions, be affected in peanuts. 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 grow th. Such effects in peanuts are often observed as stunting and
|
||
discoloration. The duration of these effects are somewhat dependent on the duration of the adverse growing conditions. These effects
|
||
lessen and generally diminish with a return to normal growing conditions. Thorough coverage is essential for control of small
|
||
susceptible broadleaf weeds. If thorough coverage is not achieved, postemergent weed control will be poor
|
||
|
||
When used as directed, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will provide preemergent control of the following weeds (refer to
|
||
POSTEMERGENT WEEDS CONTROLLED section for postemergent weeds controlled):

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 beds
|
||
in berry’s to provide preemergence control of weeds in Table below.
|
||
|
||
For best control, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL should be applied as a postemergence herbicide when weeds are present to eliminate
|
||
emerged weeds.
|
||
|
||
For broadcast applications, a single application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL should be made at 7.7 to15.2 fl oz/A (0.21 to 0.42 lb
|
||
ai/A). Do not apply more than 15.2 fl oz/A (0.42 lb ai) per twelve-month period. The twelve-month period is considered to begin
|
||
when the initial application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is applied.
|
||
|
||
For improved weed management, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL can be applied in a tank mixture with other preemergence and
|
||
postemergence burndown herbicides. Refer to the tank mix partner’s labels for additional restrictions, including minimum spray
|
||
volumes and crops in which they are labeled. Burndown herbicides may include, but are not limited to, Rage D-Tech, glyphosate,
|
||
paraquat, Rely, and 2,4-D. Do not tank mix with Chateau® herbicides (flumioxazin) or with other products containing sulfentrazone.
|
||
|
||
When applied as a banded treatment (50% band or less), refer to formula in chart below for rate and volume. SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL may be applied twice per year. Do not apply more than 15.2 fl oz/A product (0.42 lb ai) on a broadcast application basis per
|
||
twelve month period. Allow a minimum of 60 days between applications, unless otherwise specified on the label or separate published
|
||
FMC recommendations.
|
||
|
||
For band treatments, apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. To determine these:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Band Width Feet X Broadcast
|
||
Rate Per Acre = Band Rate
|
||
Row Width Feet
|
||
|
||
Band Width Feet X Broadcast
|
||
Volume Per Acre = Band Volume
|
||
|
||
A minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre should be used to ensure uniform spray coverage. Nozzle selection should meet
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
30
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL should only be applied to crops that have been established for one full growing season and are in good
|
||
health and vigor. Avoid contact of the spray solution on the green bark of trunks of 1-2 year old 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 allows for sufficient time for SPARTAN CHARGE CAL
|
||
to dry on the weed foliage prior to irrigation or rainfall and the application is 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 CHARGE CAL provides burndown and is a selective soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass
|
||
and sedge weeds found in this section. Adequate moisture of ½ to 1 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 CHARGE CAL 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. Use the
|
||
most restrictive label
|
||
limitations and precautions of the tank mix product(s).
|
||
|
||
Residual weed control may be reduced when SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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
|
||
CHARGE CAL application.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply after petal fall unless using a hooded or shielded sprayer to ensure that the spray solution will not come in contact with
|
||
the crop or foliage.

ANNUAL AND PERENNIALSEDGE CONTROL INCLUDING NUTSEDGE
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL applied at 15.2 fl oz/A may provide control or suppression of sedges whether applied preemergence or
|
||
postemergence. Postemergence application to sedges allows SPARTAN CHARGE CAL to be taken into the sedge through the foliage
|
||
as well as soil uptake through the roots. Soil uptake is the major means of uptake by sedges. Good spray coverage is required for
|
||
optimum control of sedges especially when applying postemergence to the sedges. Use a quality nonionic surfactant (NIC) at the
|
||
rate of 0.25% v/v when applying postemergence.
|
||
|
||
When applied as directed, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will provide control or suppression of the following sedges.

APPLICATION TIMING - Fall Application, Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
|
||
FALL APPLICATION
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be applied in the fall following crop harvest or in existing fallow fields to control or suppress weeds the
|
||
following season. The SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Rotational Crop Guidelines must be followed if crops are planted the next season.
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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. Do not apply to frozen soils to prevent SPARTAN CHARGE
|
||
CAL runoff from rain or snow that may occur following application. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL may be tank mixed with herbicides to
|
||
control emerged weeds. Sequential applications of burndown herbicides may be needed depending on weed size. In situations
|
||
where weed size may interfere with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL reaching the soil surface, a separate burndown application prior to the
|
||
application of SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will be required. Use full, recommended rates of burndown herbicides in combination with
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, or sequential applications as needed. Higher aerial spray volumes are required when there is a dense
|
||
weed population or canopy. Thorough coverage is essential for post-emergence control of small susceptible labeled broadleaf weeds
|
||
in combination with glyphosate.
|
||
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL can be tank mixed with other herbicides. 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 o r
|
||
restrictions.
|
||
|
||
SPRING APPLICATION - Early Preplant, and Preemergence Applications
|
||
|
||
Apply SPARTAN CHARGE CAL alone or with other herbicides as a preemergence treatment prior to planting or up to 3 days after
|
||
planting flax for preemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds using rates recommended in table below. Properly closed seed
|
||
furrows are required when applying at planting time or before seed germination. When planting into soil treated preplant with
|
||
SPARTAN CHARGE CAL, minimize soil disturbance to maintain the herbicide barrier on the soil surface to achieve maximum weed
|
||
control.
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with other products be sure the SPARTAN CHARGE CAL is added to the spray tank
|
||
water first. For specific mixing instructions refer to the Mixing and Loading instructions section of this label.

|
||
Refer to the previous information on soil types under the COARSE, MEDIUM, and FINE categories
|
||
Use higher rates for soils of pH less than 7.0 and lowest rate for pH greater than 7.0 within the rate range.
|
||
|
||
Precautions
|
||
Some adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and pH of 7.0 or higher, or
|
||
on highly eroded soils, hill tops, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. SPARTAN CHARGE CAL use rates should be reduced to
|
||
3.75 oz/A or SPARTAN CHARGE CAL 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 CHARGE CAL and the primary soil and
|
||
environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is required to obs erve
|
||
the instructions and guidance previously presented under General Application Instructions, General SPARTAN CHARGE CAL Product
|
||
Use Rates, Crop Rotational Intervals, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled 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 u nder
|
||
|
||
34
|
||
treatment with SPARTAN CHARGE CAL. Consult university or extension weed management specialists for additional information on
|
||
specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent information on SPARTAN CHARGE CAL under specific local conditions.
|
||
|
||
Weed Control
|
||
Thorough coverage is essential for control of small susceptible, emerged broadleaf weeds. If thorough coverage is not achieved ,
|
||
postemergence weed control will be poor. Optimum broad-spectrum post-emergent control of emerged weeds requires a tank mix
|
||
with a broad-spectrum burndown herbicide such as glyphosate. Failure to achieve adequate burndown of existing vegetation prior to
|
||
flax planting can result in poor crop growing conditions the remainder of the season. When tank-mixing SPARTAN CHARGE CAL with
|
||
other burndown herbicides for control of emerged weeds, it is recommended to use a full rate of the tank-mix herbicide. If adeq uate
|
||
moisture (1/2” to 1” of rainfall or irrigation) is not received within 7 to 10 days and also if dry conditions persist throughout the growing
|
||
season, erratic preemergence weed control may result. Additional moisture is needed throughout the growing season to maintain
|
||
herbicide activity and prevent weed escapes.
|
||
When used as directed, SPARTAN CHARGE CAL will provide preemergence control of the following weeds (refer to
|
||
POSTEMERGENT WEEDS CONTROLLED section for postemergence weeds controlled):
|
||
|
||
Kochia
|
||
(ALS and Triazine Resistant)
|
||
Morningglory, ivyleaf*
|
||
Morningglory, tall*
|
||
Nightshade, Eastern black
|
||
|
||
* Partial or reduced control of the weeds listed above will occu r under dry conditions, under heavy pest pressure or at low use rates
|
||
under 5.75 oz.
|
||
|
||
