Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides 40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6).
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing/PPE
immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Keep out of lakes, streams, or ponds. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
washwater or rinsate. Apply this product only as directed on the label.
Groundwater Advisory
This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This product
may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils an d
soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
several weeks or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product i s
applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatl y reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt
and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affect the movement of
windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage
patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
Non-target Organism Advisory
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 area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For furth er
guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
Ground and Surface Water Protection
Point source contamination: To prevent point source contamination, do not mix, load this pesticide product 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. Do not apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. 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 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 heavie st 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% that of the
largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and have sufficient capacity to contain all product 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 pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requireme nts
regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
3
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent: a) back siphoning into wells, b) spills or c) improper disposal of excess
pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates. Check valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment.
Movement by surface runoff or through soil: Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff. Do not apply to impervious
substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for ground water contamination. Ground
water contamination may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse and ground water is near the surface. Do not apply
to soils classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter and where ground water depth is shallow. To minimize the
possibility of ground water contamination, carefully follow application rate recommendations as affected by soil type in the
product information section of this label.
Movement by water erosion of treated soil: Do not apply or incorporate this product through any type of irrigation equipment
nor by flood or furrow irrigation. Ensure treated areas have received at least one-half inch rainfall (or irrigation) before usi ng
tailwater for subsequent irrigation of other fields.
Endangered Species Concerns
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or otherwise harm an endangered species or adversely modify their
habitat is a violation of federal law.
PESTICIDE HANDLING
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
• Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station.
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
AGILITY SG herbicide is a water soluble granule that is used for selective postemergence weed control in wheat (including
durum), barley, triticale and fallow.
The best control is obtained when AGILITY SG herbicide is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The degree and duration
of control may depend on the following:
• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
• weed size at application
• environmental conditions at and following treatment
AGILITY SG herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, and does not freeze. AGILITY SG herbicide should be mixed and
completely dissolved in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray (See Tank Mixtures and Mixing Instructions sections
for use with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solutions).
RESTRICTIONS
• DO NOT use AGILITY SG herbicide plus Malathion or Lorsban as crop injury may result.
• DO NOT harvest sooner than 45 days after the last application of AGILITY SG herbicide.
• AGILITY SG herbicide is only registered on wheat, barley, triticale and fallow. DO NOT use on any other crop.
• DO NOT apply to wheat, barley or triticale undersown with legumes and grasses, because injury to the forages will result.
• DO NOT treat irrigation ditches or water used for crop irrigation or domestic uses.
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
PRECAUTIONS
• Varieties of wheat (including durum), barley and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC recommends
that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity to any herbicide. If no
information is available, limit the initial use of AGILITY SG herbicide to a small area.
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior
to or soon after AGILITY SG herbicide application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the
potential of crop injury, tank mix AGILITY SG herbicide with 2,4-D and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth .
• Application to wheat, barley or triticale that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturate d
soil, disease, or insect damage, may result in crop injury. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. S evere
winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
• For ground applications applied when dry, dusty field conditions exist, control of weeds in wheel track areas may be reduced.
The addition of 2,4-D or MCPA may improve weed control under these conditions.
• Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend, or
in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
- Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
Sensitive Crop Precautions
AGILITY SG herbicide may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes,
ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, and other broadleaf plants when contacting their roots,
stems, or foliage. These plants are most sensitive to AGILITY SG herbicide during their development or growing stage.
Directions to avoid herbicide drift near sensitive crops:
• DO NOT make applications when spray particles may be carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are
growing. DO NOT spray near sensitive plants if wind is gusty or in excess of 5 mph and moving in the direction of adjacent
sensitive crops. Leave an adequate buffer zone between area to be treated and only sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less like ly
to drift out of the target area than fine sprays.
• Use coarse sprays (volume median diameter of 400 microns or more) to avoid potential herbicide drift. Select nozzles that are
designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles (less than 200 microns). Examples of nozzles designed to produce
coarse sprays via ground applications are Delavan® Raindrops, Spraying Systems XR (excluding 110° tips) flat fans, Turbo
Teejets®, Turbo Floodjets®, or large capacity flood nozzles such as D10, TK10, or greater capacity tips.
• Keep the spray pressure at or below 20 psi and the spray volume at or above 20 gallons per acre (for ground broadcast
applications), unless otherwise required by the manufacturer of drift-reducing nozzles. Consult your spray nozzle supplier
concerning the choice of drift-reducing nozzles.
• DO NOT apply AGILITY SG herbicide adjacent to sensitive crops when the temperature on the day of application is expected
to exceed 85° F as drift is more likely to occur.
• Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may be used.
- Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may
damage crops other than wheat, barley or triticale.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
AGILITY SG herbicide is absorbed through the roots, shoots, and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible
weeds. One to three weeks after postemergence application to weeds (2 to 5 weeks for wild garlic), susceptible plants are
controlled. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicid e symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression
of herbicide symptoms is delayed.
AGILITY SG herbicide will provide up to 4 to 6 weeks of residual weed control. Susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge
a few days after postemergence applications, but growth then ceases and leaves become chlorotic 3- 5 days after emergence.
Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others may remain green but stunted and
noncompetitive.
AGILITY SG herbicide provides the best control of weeds in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds. Weed
control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not provide satisfactory control. However, a crop canopy that is too
dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
The herbicidal action of AGILITY SG herbicide may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental conditions
(such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, weeds hardened-off by
drought stress are less susceptible to AGILITY SG herbicide.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
AGILITY SG herbicide, which contains the active ingredients Dicamba, Thifensulfuron methyl, Tribenuron methyl and
Metsulfuron methyl is a group 2 and 4 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 bu rndown herbicide application or tillage.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
• Apply full rates of AGILITY SG 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 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 2 and 4 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 no rmally 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 site s 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 2 and 4 herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of AGILITY SG herbicide and any other Group 2 and 4 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.
6
• 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.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and
genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other
detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other
qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in you r
area.

APPLICATION TIMING Wheat, Barley and Triticale
Fall-seeded Wheat, Barley, and Triticale
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before the jointing stage.
Spring-seeded Wheat
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before it exceeds the 6-leaf stage. Early developing wheat varietie s
(such as TAM 107, Madison, or Wakefield) must receive application between early tillering and the jointing stage (stagger
planting dates with these varieties to be certain that the applications occur before jointing). Durum and Wampum variety must
receive application after tillering but before it exceeds the 6-leaf stage and should be made in combination with 2,4-D. See Ta nk
Mix Section for additional information.
10
Spring-seeded Barley
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before it exceeds the 4-leaf stage.
DO NOT tank mix AGILITY SG herbicide with 2,4-D in early season applications on spring-seeded barley.
Spring-seeded Triticale
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before it exceeds the 6-leaf stage.
Additional Timing Information
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application. Six hours of dry weather are needed to allow
AGILITY SG herbicide to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage.
If applied to irrigated wheat, barley or triticale the first post-treatment irrigation should be delayed for at least 6 hours after
treatment and should not exceed 1 inch of water.
Applications of AGILITY SG herbicide to stressed crops may cause crop injury. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix
AGILITY SG herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best-see TANK MIXTURES for more information) and apply
after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
TANK MIXTURES
AGILITY SG herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control weeds listed as partially
controlled, weeds resistant to AGILITY SG herbicide or weeds not listed under Weeds Controlled. Read and follow all
manufacturers label instructions for the companion herbicide. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix th e
herbicide with AGILITY SG herbicide. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for th e
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in
tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture.
AGILITY SG herbicide can also be mixed with registered fungicides, insecticides, or liquid fertilizer for use on wheat, barley
and triticale.
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
AGILITY SG herbicide can be tank mixed with 2,4-D and MCPA (preferably ester formulations) herbicides for use on wheat,
barley, triticale and fallow. For best results, add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 1/8 to 3/8 lb active ingredient per acre.
In tank mixes containing 1/8 lb active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acre, add 1 to 2 pt of non-ionic surfactant per 100 gal of
spray solution; in tank mixes containing 1/4 to 3/8 lb active ingredient 2,4-D or MCPA per acre, add 1 pt of non-ionic surfacta nt
per 100 gal of spray solution. Higher rates of 2,4-D or MCPA may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate allowed by those
respective labels.

AGILITY SG herbicide at 1.6 oz/A can be tank mixed with Puma® 1EC herbicide for use in wheat and barley for control of
green foxtail, foxtail millets, volunteer corn, and light infestations of broadleaf weeds on WEEDS CONTROLLED list. Refer to
the Puma® 1EC herbicide label for information regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping intervals, sprayer
cleanup, use precautions and other information. The most restrictive provisions on either label will apply. Do not use the tank
mix if any restrictions on the Puma® 1EC herbicide label conflict with instructions on the AGILITY SG herbicide label.
11
With Discover® NG herbicide
AGILITY SG herbicide at 1.6 -2.4 oz/A can be tank mixed with Discover® NG herbicide for improved control of weeds in
wheat. Refer to the Discover® NG herbicide label for information regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping
intervals, sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other information. The most restrictive provisions on either label will apply. D O
NOT use the tank mix if any restrictions on the Discover® NG herbicide label conflict with instructions on the AGILITY SG
herbicide label.
With "Everest®" branded herbicides
AGILITY SG herbicide can be tank mixed with "Everest®" branded herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat. Refer to
the "Everest®" branded product label for information regarding use restrictions, labeled crops, rotational cropping intervals,
sprayer cleanup, use precautions and other information. The most restrictive provisions on either label will apply. Do not use t he
tank mix if any restrictions on the "Everest®" branded product label conflict with instructions on the AGILITY SG herbicide
label.
With Other Herbicides
AGILITY SG herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered cereal or fallow herbicides to control weeds listed as
suppressed, weeds resistant to AGILITY SG herbicide, or weeds not listed under Weeds Controlled. Read and follow all
manufacturer's label instructions for the companion herbicide. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix t he
herbicide with AGILITY SG herbicide. Tank mixes of AGILITY SG herbicide plus metribuzin may result in reduced control of
wild garlic.
DO NOT tank mix AGILITY SG herbicide with Hoelon® 3EC herbicide, because grass control may be reduced.
DO NOT tank mix AGILITY SG herbicide with ALLY® XP herbicide, ALLY® EXTRA herbicide, ALLY® EXTRA SG
herbicide or other products containing metsulfuron methyl.
DO NOT tank mix AGILITY SG herbicide with other dicamba containing products (such as Clarity® herbicide or Banvel®
herbicide) for use on cereal crops.
With Fungicides
AGILITY SG herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on cereal crops.
With Insecticides
RESTRICTIONS
- DO NOT apply AGILITY SG herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been
applied as an infurrow treatment, because crop injury may result.
- DO NOT use AGILITY SG herbicide plus Malathion or Lorsban as crop injury may result.
PRECAUTIONS
AGILITY SG herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on cereal crops. However,
under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential applications of
AGILITY SG herbicide with organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in
severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur jus t
prior to or soon after application. Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solution
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0) may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix
compatibility test before mixing AGILITY SG herbicide in fertilizer solution.
AGILITY SG herbicide must first be dissolved with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions. Ensure that the agitator i s
running while the AGILITY SG herbicide is added. Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the additio n of
surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 1/2 pt -1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 -0.25% v/v) based on local guidance.
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. If
2,4-D or MCPA is included with AGILITY SG herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible
(See manufacturers label). Additional surfactant may not be needed when using AGILITY SG herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D
ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC
representative for specific instructions before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of straight or dilute nitrogen fertilizer
carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult your agricultural dealer,
consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for specific instructions before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions.
DO NOT use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
12
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
Note: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is very important.
Blue Mustard: For best results, use 2.4-3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide in tank mixtures with 2,4-D or MCPA
postemergence to mustards, but before bloom (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Flixweed: For best results, use 2.4-3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide in tank mixtures with 2,4-D or MCPA
postemergence, but before bloom (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Canada Thistle: For best results, use 3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide plus 2,4-D, or MCPA (refer to Tank Mixtures
for additional details) in the spring after the majority of thistles have emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6" elongating
stems) and actively growing. The application will inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with the crop.
Corn Gromwell: For best results, use 2.4-3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide when weeds are actively growing, are no
larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-D, MCPA, or bromoxynil containing
products (including Buctril® herbicide, Bronate® herbicide, or Bronate Advanced™ herbicide) with AGILITY SG herbicide
usually improves results (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Kochia, Prickly Lettuce, and Russian Thistle: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur. For
best results, use AGILITY SG herbicide at 2.4 to 3.2 oz/A in a tank mix with 2,4-D and apply in the spring when weeds are less
than 2" tall or wide and are actively growing (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Vetch (common and hairy): For best results, use 3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide when vetch is less than 6" in
length. For severe infestations of vetch, or when vetch is greater than 6" in length, use AGILITY SG herbicide in combination
with 2,4-D, or MCPA (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Wild garlic: For best results, use 3.2 oz/A and apply AGILITY SG herbicide when wild garlic plants are less than 12" tall with
2" to 4" of new growth. Plants hardened-off by cold weather and/or drought stress may be more difficult to control. Thorough
spray coverage of all garlic plants is essential. Typical symptoms of dying garlic plants may not be noticeable for 2 to 5 weeks .
Control will be improved by using AGILITY SG herbicide in combination with 2,4-D or MCPA (refer to Tank Mixtures section
of this label for additional details).
Wild radish: For best results, use 3.2 oz/A applied in the fall to wild radish rosettes less than 6" in diameter and before
plants harden-off. Alternatively, AGILITY SG herbicide can be applied in the spring for control of wild radish. Control will be
improved by using AGILITY SG herbicide in combination with 2,4-D or MCPA (refer to Tank Mixtures section of this label for
additional details) when wild radish rosettes are less than 6" in diameter. Applications made later than 30 days after weed
emergence, either in the fall or spring, will result in partial control.
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
AGILITY SG herbicide can be measured using the AGILITY SG herbicide volumetric measuring cylinder included in the case.
The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Always include a spray adjuvant with applications of AGILITY SG herbicide. In addition to a spray adjuvant, an ammonium
nitrogen fertilizer may be used. Antifoaming agents may be needed.
Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, local FMC fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using an adjuvant
system. If another herbicide is tank mixed with AGILITY SG herbicide, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products.
Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40CFR 1001).
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
• Apply 0.125 to 0.50% volume/volume (1 pt to 4 pt per 100 gal of spray solution).
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
See the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional information.
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Only use adjuvants that contain COC or MSO in fallow applications. Do not use for postemergence applications in cereals.
• Apply at 1% volume/volume (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution) or 2% volume/volume under arid conditions.
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15%
surfactant emulsifiers.
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium
nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality and have
been evaluated and approved by FMC product management. Consult separate FMC technical bulletins for detailed information
before using adjuvant types not specified on this label.
13
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 qt/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/acre of a spray-grade
ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/acre UAN or 4 lb/acre AMS under arid conditions.
Application and Spray Volumes
Ground or aerial application equipment which will give good spray coverage of weed foliage should be used. HOWEVER, DO
NOT USE AERIAL APPLICATION EQUIPMENT IF SPRAY PARTICLES CAN BE CARRIED BY WIND INTO AREAS
WHERE SENSITIVE CROPS OR PLANTS ARE GROWING.
Apply 3 to 50 gallons of diluted spray per treated acre when using ground application equipment, or 2 to 10 gallons of diluted
spray per treated acre when using aerial application equipment. Use the higher level of the listed spray volumes when treating
dense or tall vegetation. Use coarse sprays.
Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with nozzles as close to the weeds as is
practical for good weed coverage.
AGILITY SG herbicide should not be applied during periods of gusty wind or when wind is in excess of 15 mph as uneven
spray coverage may occur.
Avoid disturbing (e.g. cultivating or mowing) treated areas for at least 7 days following application.
GROUND APPLICATION
For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA).
For flood nozzles on 30" spacing, use flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent), a pressure of at least 30 psi and a
spray volume of at least 10 GPA only. For 40" nozzle spacing, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacing use at least 20 GPA. It is
essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
"Raindrop RA" nozzles are not recommended for AGILITY SG herbicide applications, because weed control performance may
be reduced.
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 1 to 5 GPA. Use at least
3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, or Utah.
When applying AGILITY SG herbicide by air in areas near sensitive crops, use solid-stream nozzles oriented straight back.
Adjust swath to avoid spray drift damage to downwind sensitive crops and/or use ground equipment to treat border edge of
field. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
For aerial application in Washington, follow the directions in the Spray Drift Management Section of this label and the
following Washington state restrictions:
- Applications of AGILITY SG herbicide must be made in equipment that meets the most restrictive Washington
Agricultural Codes (WAC) for the prevention of herbicide drift for the respective county.
- DO NOT apply in equipment that does not meet these WAC standards.
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS
AGILITY SG herbicide can be applied either before or after applications of other products registered for use in wheat, barley,
triticale or fallow. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for these herbicides before us ing
these in sequence with AGILITY SG herbicide. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not use that product in sequenc e
with AGILITY SG herbicide. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intende d
use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture.
• DO NOT use any metsulfuron methyl-containing product as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide.
• If using HARMONY® EXTRA XP herbicide as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide, DO NOT exceed
0.7 oz/A of HARMONY® EXTRA XP herbicide per year.
14
• If using HARMONY® EXTRA SG herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules) as a sequential treatment with AGILITY
SG herbicide, DO NOT exceed 1.0 oz/A of HARMONY® EXTRA SG herbicide per year.
• If using EXPRESS® XP herbicide as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide, DO NOT exceed 0.25 oz/A of
EXPRESS® XP herbicide per year.
• If using EXPRESS® herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules) as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide,
DO NOT exceed 0.375 oz/A of EXPRESS® herbicide per year.
• If using products that contain dicamba as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide, do not exceed the following
amounts of acid equivalent dicamba per acre per season: 8.4 ounces in wheat, 5.6 ounces in barley, 2.1 ounces in triticale, and
16.8 ounces in fallow. Do not exceed 2.0 pounds acid equivalent dicamba per acre per year.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of AGILITY SG herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the AGILITY SG herbicide is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the AGILITY SG herbicide is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. AGILITY SG
herbicide should be thoroughly dissolved with water before adding any other material.
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the required volume of surfactant. Always add surfactant
last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0
or above pH 9.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 - 8.0 allow for optimum stability of
AGILITY SG herbicide.
6. Dispersed tank mix partners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated.
7. Apply AGILITY SG herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If AGILITY SG herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the AGILITY SG
herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution
of the AGILITY SG herbicide.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturers instructions for additional information on GPA, pressure,
speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc.
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will
ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to obtain better
coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or
stopping, to avoid injury to the crop.
DO NOT make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that might cause spray to drift
onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift refer to Spray Drift Management section of label.
Sprayer Precaution
The spray equipment must be cleaned before AGILITY SG herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the
labels of the previously applied products.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of AGILITY SG herbicide are applied, at the end of each day of
spraying the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This wi ll
prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in the application equipment.
AFTER SPRAYING AGILITY SG HERBICIDE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER
THAN WHEAT, BARLEY OR TRITICALE
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
applications of AGILITY SG herbicide as follows:
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the tank volume. Circulate the water through the
lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer. Completely drain the
sump.
3. Fill the tank with water while adding 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Operate the pump to
circulate the ammonia solution through the sprayer system for 15 to 20 minutes and discharge a small amount of the
ammonia solution through the boom and nozzles. Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight. Flush the
15
boom well and empty the sprayer. Completely drain the sump.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
The rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) specified on this label. Do not exceed the maximum-labeled use rate. If
cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the ri nsate
on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Notes:
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
3. When AGILITY SG herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product should be
examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products should be followed as p er
the individual labels.
- If using products that contain dicamba as a sequential treatment with AGILITY SG herbicide, do not exceed the following
amounts of acid equivalent dicamba per acre per season: 8.4 ounces in wheat, 5.6 ounces in barley, 2.1 ounces in triticale, and
16.8 ounces in fallow.
CROP ROTATION
Before using AGILITY SG herbicide carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, DO
NOT treat all of your acres at the same time.
MINIMUM ROTATIONAL INTERVALS
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of AGILITY SG herbicide applied. AGILITY SG
herbicide breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil moisture.
Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase AGILITY SG herbicide breakdown in soil, while high soil
pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow AGILITY SG herbicide breakdown.
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. So il temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, can vary
significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored
regularly when considering crop rotations.
* The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting. Minimum
rotation intervals must be extended 1 crop season if drought conditions prevail after application and before the rotational crop is
planted.
Soil pH Limitations
AGILITY SG herbicide should not be used on soils having a pH above 7.9, because extended soil residual activity could extend
crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, AGILITY SG herbicide could remain in the soil for 34 months
or more, injuring wheat, barley or triticale. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low
concentrations of AGILITY SG herbicide.
Checking Soil pH
Before using AGILITY SG herbicide, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain a representative pH value
for the test area, take several 0” to 4” samples from different areas of the field and analyze them separately. Consult local
extension publications for additional information on recommended soil sampling procedures.
FIELD BIOASSAY
A field bioassay is necessary if crops other than wheat, barley or those listed on this label are to be planted on land previou sly
treated with AGILITY SG herbicide. To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or crops you plan to grow the
following year in fields previously treated with AGILITY SG herbicide. Crop response to the bioassay will indicate whether or
not to rotate to the crop(s) grown in the test strips.
If a field bioassay is planned, check with your local FMC representative for information detailing field bioassay procedure.
GRAZING
DO NOT graze treated forage within 7 days after application. DO NOT feed forage from treated areas to livestock within 7 days
after application. DO NOT feed hay from treated areas to livestock within 30 days of application. Harvested straw may be used
for bedding and/or feed. DO NOT harvest grain within 45 days after application.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser drople t
size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABES572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
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 are required to use a Coarse or coarser drople t
size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABES572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use 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 intend ed 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. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a heigh t
greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
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.
22
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.
Boom-less Ground Applications
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
Sensitive Areas
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water,
known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the effect of 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 Councilof Producers& Distributorsof Agrotechnology(CPDA).
