******** FOR HERBICIDE USE IN CORN AND SOYBEANS ******** 
PRODUCT INFORMATION (7) 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for control of velvetleaf and other broad leaf weeds in 
soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn (includes field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn grown for 
seed). Appeal™ EC Herbicide can be applied as a preplant burndown treatment alone or with other 
herbicides or liquid fertilizer before planting corn or soybeans or can be applied after emergence of the 
crop and broad leaf weeds. There is a wide application timing window for postemergence use in soybean 
and corn. For postemergence use in soybean the application window ranges from first trifoliate to the full 
flowering stage. For postemergence use in corn, the application window ranges from the 2-leaf stage (2 
visible collars) until the corn is 48 inches tall or prior to tasseling, whichever comes first. Refer to Table 2 
for a list of the broadleaf weeds controlled. 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide will control velvetleaf up to 36 inches tall. Appeal™ EC Herbicide will also control 
or partially control certain other annual broad leaf weeds. Partial control means significant activity but not 
always at a level generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. When tank mixed, 
- 4 -

( 
AppeajTM EC Herbicide may enhance the performance of other herbicides in the control of certain 
broadleaf weeds (see Table 2). Appeal™ EC Herbicide does not control grasses. Therefore, if grasses are 
present at the time of application, Appeal™ EC Herbicide should be mixed with an appropriate 
postemergence herbicide registered for grass control. 
The amount of Appeal™ EC Herbicide to apply and the degree of weed control resulting from an Appeal™ 
EC Herbicide application depend upon a variety of factors such as weeds present, stage of growth of the 
weeds, environmental conditions, and growing conditions. Weeds under stress because of lack of 
moisture, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, may not be controlled as well as actively 
growing weeds. Weed death or inhibition can be expected quickly - normally within 48 hours after 
application. 
To be effective, Appeal™ EC Herbicide must contact the weed foliage. Thorough coverage with the spray 
solution gives the most effective weed control. A large crop and/or weed canopy as well as a dense crop 
and/or weed canopy can prevent the spray from reaching smaller weeds resulting in reduced control of 
these smaller weeds. 
Soybean and corn are tolerant of Appeal™ EC Herbicide when applied according to label directions. Some 
bronzing, crinkling, or spotting of crop leaves may occur. Soybean and corn rapidly outgrow these effects 
and develop normally with no reduction in yield. 
Cotton is very sensitive to Appeal™ EC Herbicide. Do not allow spray to contact cotton unless the 
application is for cotton defoliation (see FOR USE IN COTTON DEFOLIATION below). 
Grazing/Feeding and Harvesting Restrictions 
Do not graze or feed treated soybean forage or hay to livestock. 
Do not harvest or feed corn grain or stover (fodder) until 70 days after the last application of Appeal™ EC 
Herbicide. 
Do not harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application of Appeal™ EC Herbicide. 
Do not harvest or feed sweet corn forage or ears until 40 days after the last application of Appeal™ EC 
Herbicide. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS (8) 
Spray Additives 
An adjuvant approved for use on growing crops is required with Appeal™ EC Herbicide for maximum 
consistent performance. 
1. Adjuvants for Appeal™ EC Herbicide Alone 
Use a spray adjuvant from one of these classes for optimum performance: 
Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) - with a minimum of 80% of the constituents effective as spray adjuvant 
at the rate of 1 quart/100 gals. of spray volume (concentration of 0.25%) 
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - petroleum or vegetable-based containing not less than 12% emulsifier 
at 1-2 pts./A. The concentration should not exceed 2.5% volume/volume. COC is recommended under 
conditions of dry soil and low relative humidity. 
Silicone-based surfactant - at a rate of 1 qt./100 gals. or a spray volume concentration of 0.25% or 
as specified on the adjuvant label. 
- 5 -

( 
In addition to an adjuvant, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at 1-2 qts,fA or spray grade ammonium sulfate 
(AMS) at 1.5-2.5 Ibs,fA may also be added to the spray solution. Do not use liquid fertilizer as the total 
carrier solution. 
2. Adjuvants for Appeal™ EC Herbicide in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
When tank mixing with other herbicides, use the adjuvant recommended for use with the tank mix 
partner. Follow all restrictions and precautions on the tank mix partner's label. 
Compatibility Test 
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure Appeal™ EC 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 with tight lids. 
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 V4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as 
Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pt./100 gals. 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, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the 
mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film 
on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray 
mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the 
mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the 
following methods of improving compatibility. 
a. Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or 
b. Add'lz the compatibility agent to the water and the other V2 to the emulsifiable 
concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still 
observed, do not use the mixture. 
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and 
Disposal section of this label.

How to Mix 
1. The spray equipment must be clean before using this product. If it is contaminated with other 
materials, mixing problems and/or clogging may occur or crop injury may occur. 
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application, and do not let the spray 
mixture stand in the spray tank overnight. 
3. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. 
4. Water-soluble packets must always be the first material put into the spray tank after water. Water­
soluble packets must be completely dissolved and dispersed in clean water only before any other tank 
mix partners, including adjuvants, micronutrients, or other fertilizers are added to the spray solution. 
Boron, especially in the form of a micronutrient additive, such as Solubor®, etc., may prevent water­
soluble packets from dissolving. 
5. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly after each use and apply rinsate to a preViously-treated area. 
Mixing Appeal™ EC Herbicide Alone 
1. Add %-V2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of AppeajTM EC Herbicide to the spray tank. 
Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse. 
3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water. 
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 
Mixing Appeal™ EC Herbicide in Tank Mixtures with Other Herbicides 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and 
spray adjuvants. BEFORE MIXING APPEAL™ EC 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 PARTICULAR CROP AND THAT USE PATTERNS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF 
APPEAL™ EC HERBICIDE. When using Appeal™ EC Herbicide in a tank mixture with other pesticides, 
observe the most restrictive label limitations and precautions for the products being used. 
Mixing Appeal™ EC Herbicide with acifluorfen or lactofen-containing products (such as Blazer®, Galaxy®, 
Cobra®, or Storm®) can improve the control of velvetleaf by these products. However, these tank mixes 
will not control velvetleaf as well as Appeal™ EC Herbicide applied alone. 
Tank Mixing Steps 
1. Add V4 _1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
2. With the agitator running, drop the required number of packets of any products packaged in water­
soluble packets into the tank all at once. Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow the packets 
to completely dissolve and the contents of the packets to fully and uniformly disperse. 
3. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3f4 full, add any dry 
formulation tank mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse. 
- 7 -

( ( 
4. Add the required amount of Appeal™ EC 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. 
5. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water. 
6. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure 
surface action until the mixture is uniform. 
7. To avoid product degradation, apply the Appeal™ EC Herbicide spray mixture within 48 hours of 
mixing, and do not leave the spray mixture in the tank without continuous agitation. 
8. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and 
any tank mix partner labels. 
APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS (9) 
Chemigation 
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment. 
Aerial Application 
1. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. 
2. Take care to ensure that the application does not drift to non-target areas. 
Ground Application 
1. Apply AppealrM EC HerbiCide in a minimum of 15 gals. of water/A with 20-40 psi pressure at the 
nozzles. 
2. If a dense crop and/or weed canopy is present, use up to 40 gals. of water per acre and 50-70 psi 
pressure at the nozzles. 
Note: When using higher nozzle pressures, use extreme caution to avoid spray drift to 
nearby crops. 
Spray Drift Precautions 
Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent land or crops. When drift may be probable, do everything 
possible to reduce spray drift, including: 
1. Do not spray if wind speeds are gusty or become 10 mph or greater. 
2. Use extreme caution when conditions favor drift (high temperatures, low relative humidity). 
3. Do not apply during a temperature inversion. If an inversion is suspected, consult the local weather 
service before applying AppeajTM EC Herbicide. 
4. These practices can further reduce drift: 
a. Using nozzles that provide a uniform droplet size. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-coarse 
droplets (250-400 microns VMD). Nozzles that produce extremely small droplets are more likely 
to cause spray drift. 
b. Apply as close to target plants as practical while maintaining a good spray pattern for adequate 
spray coverage. 
Use a pump with enough capacity to maintain a rippling or rolling action in the spray tank. For a uniform 
spray mixture, agitation during mixing and application is required.

*See Table 2 for list of weeds controlled. 
WHEN TO APPLY (10) 
Weed Stage of Growth 
Apply AppeajTM EC Herbicide after weeds have emerged and are actively growing, but before the weeds 
have reached the maximum height listed in Table 2. Application after weeds have reached the listed 
maximum height for control could result in commercially unacceptable weed control. 
Avoid applying AppeajTM EC Herbicide if weeds cannot be evenly covered with the spray or when spray 
drift is possible. To reduce spray drift, do not apply if wind speed is 10 mph or greater. Avoid 
overlapping the spray pattern since this may increase chances for crop injury. 
Soybean Stage of Growth 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide may be applied to soybeans from the first trifoliate through the full flowering stage 
of development. To avoid possible illegal reSidues, the last application should be made no later than 60 
days before harvest. This product requires a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 60 days. 
Field Corn, Sweet Corn, and Popcorn Stages of Growth 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide may be applied to corn from the 2-leaf stage (2 visible collars) to 48 inches tall, but 
before tasseling. 
Cultivation 
Do not cultivate within 2 days before or 2 days after applying this product. 
Application Precautions 
1. Do not apply more than 1.25 fl. oz./A of Appeal™ EC Herbicide per cropping season. 
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.

listed in Table 2 provided the application follows all timing and rate precautions on the tank mix 
partner's label. 
4. Application to weeds that are under severe stress due to drought or to weeds that are taller than the 
optimum heights listed in Table 2 may result in reduced weed control. 
5. Do not irrigate within 4 hours of application of Appeal™ EC Herbicide. Rainfall or irrigation may wash 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide off of the weeds during this period and reduce performance. 
6. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank mixture with 
Appeal™ EC Herbicide.

2. Appeal™ EC Herbicide in Tank Mixtures with Other Harvest Aids 
When tank mixing Appeal™ EC Herbicide with other harvest aids, use the adjuvant recommended for use 
with the tank mix partner. Follow all restrictions and precautions on the tank mix partner's label. 
Compatibility Test 
A jar test is recommended before mixing to ensure Appeal™ EC 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 with tight lids. 
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 1f4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved 
for this use, such as Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pt./100 gals. 
spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of harvest aid. If more than one harvest aid is used, add 
them separately with dry harvest aids first, f10wables 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 harvest aids for this test follows: 
Dry Harvest Aids and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each 
jar. 
Liquid Harvest Aids 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, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the 
mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, preCipitates, gels, heavy oil film 
on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the 
spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, 
the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test 
the following methods of improving compatibility. 
a. Slurry the dry harvest aides) in water before addition, or 
b. Add'/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other '/2 to the emulsifiable 
concentrate or flowable harvest aid before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is 
still observed, do not use the mixture. 
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and 
Disposal section of this label

Tank Mixing Steps 
1. Add 1f4 to 1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank. 
2. With the agitator running, drop the required number of packets of any products packaged in water­
soluble packets into the tank all at once. Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow any packets 
to completely dissolve and the contents of any packets to fully and uniformly disperse. 
3. 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. 
4. Add the required amount of Appeal™ EC 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. 
5. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water. 
6. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to ensure 
surface action until the spray mixture is uniform. 
7. To avoid product degradation, apply the Appeal™ EC Herbicide spray mixture within 48 hours of 
mixing, and do not leave the spray mixture in the tank without continuous agitation. 
8. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (See Cleaning Spray Equipment) and 
any tank mix partner labels. 
APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS (16) 
Chemigation 
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment 
Aerial Application 
1. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. 
2. Take care to ensure that the application does not drift to non-target areas. 
Ground Application 
1. Apply Appeal™ EC Herbicide in a minimum of 10 gals of water per acre at 20 to 40 psi pressure at the 
nozzles. 
2. Use a pump with enough capacity to maintain a rippling or rolling action in the spray tank. 
3. For a uniform spray mixture, agitation during mixing and application is required. 
Spray Drift Precautions 
Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent land or crops. When drift may be probable, do everything 
possible to reduce spray drift, including: 
1. Do not spray if wind speeds are gusty or become 10 mph or greater. 
2. Use extreme caution when conditions favor drift (high temperatures, low relative humidity). 
3. Do not apply during a temperature inversion. If an inversion is suspected, consult the local weather 
service before applying AppeaPM EC Herbicide. 
- 16 -
(~)2.0

( ( 
4. These practices can further reduce drift: 
a. Using nozzles that provide a uniform droplet size. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-coarse 
droplets (250-400 microns VMD). Nozzles that produce extremely small droplets are more likely 
to cause spray drift. 
b. Apply as close to target plants as practical while maintaining a good spray pattern for adequate 
spray coverage. 
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
The sprayer must be cleaned before and after use of Appeal™ EC Herbicide. Failure to do so may result 
in unsatisfactory results with Appeal™ EC Herbicide or injury to other crops sprayed with the equipment.
