2 IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down. ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean highwater mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. 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 and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runof' for several weeks or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is 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 greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is ejqiected to occur within 48 hours. Windblown Soil Particles Advisory 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 movemen 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 further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.

Chemical Resistant Gloves made of any waterproof material. Shoes plus socks. PRODUCT INFORMATION FINESSE herbicide is registered for use on land primarily dedicated to the long-term production of wheat, barley, or triticale. FfNESSE herbicide is a dry-flowable granule that controls weeds in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale and fallow. FfNESSE herbicide is mixed in water or may be slurried in water then added directly into liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. A surfactant needs to be used in the spray mix unless otherwise specified on this label. FfNESSE herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not fteeze. FfNESSE herbicide controls weeds by both preemergence and postemergence activity. For best preemergence results, apply FfNESSE herbicide before weed seeds germinate. Use sprinkler irrigation or allow rainfall to move FINESSE herbicide 2" to 3" deep into the soil profile. For best postemergence results, apply FfNESSE herbicide to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed spectrum and size of weeds at the time of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following: • weed spectrum and infestation density • weed size at application • environmental conditions at and following treatment ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSAND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY FINESSE herbicide is absorbed through the roots and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible weeds. For preplant and preemergence weed control, rainfall is needed to move FfNESSE herbicide into the soil. Weeds will generally not emerge Ifom preplant and preemergence applications. In some cases, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases, and leaves become chlorotic three to five days after emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. One to three weeks after postemergence application to weeds, leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently dies. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. Death of leaf tissue will follow in some species, while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. Postemergence weed control may be reduced if rainfall occurs within 6 hours after application. FfNESSE 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.
0.2 4 • For all applications with products containing these active ingredients do not exceed 0.0625 oz ai/A (Lb. ai/A 0.0039) of metsulfuron methyl and 0.37 oz ai/A (Lb. ai/A 0.0231) of chlorsulfuron in a year. FINESSE herbicide Rate Oz/A RESTRICTIONS • Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoffmay result. • Donotapplytosnow-coveredground. • Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixing/loading station. • Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate other cropland. • Do not use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache counties of Colorado. • Do not use less than 0.2 oz per acre of FINESSE herbicide preplant, preemergence or postemergence PRECAUTIONS • Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
- Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas.
- Carefully observe sprayer cleanup instructions, both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may damage crops other than wheat or barley. WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT FINESSE herbicide, which contains the active ingredients chlorsulfuron and metsulfuron methyl is a group 2 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 bumdown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches). • Apply full rates of FINESSE 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 coimty extension agent. • Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to these MO As 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 ingredients in this product. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 2 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seedproduction. _____Active Ingredient Equivalent Chlorsulfuron Lb. ai/A 0.0078 • Wherever FINESSE herbicide is used on land previously treated with Glean® XP herbicide. Ally® XP herbicide. Ally® Extra SG herbicide (with Totalsol® soluble granules). Amber® Custom-Pak™ herbicide or other longer residual herbicides with the same mode of action, you must read the rotational guidelines on both labels and follow the one with the longest interval stated for your situation before choosing to rotate to crops other than wheat or barley. • To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion, do not apply to powdery, dry, or light sandy soils until they have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage or other cultural practices. Injury to adjacent crops may result when treated soil is blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal grains. • 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 notuse on lawns, walks, driveways, cr tennis courts. Metsulfuron-methyl Lb. ai/A 0.0016
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT 5 Do not apply FINESSE herbicide preplant or preemergence on durum or Wampum wheat, barley, or triticale. Do not apply preemergence or preplant incorporated to late fall plantings when cold and/or dry weather can cause delayed seedling emergence and/or stress to seedling plants. Under these conditions, wait until crop has emerged and is showing good vigor before making a postemergence treatment. Precautions: Crop injury may result when preemergence or preplant incorporated applications of FINESSE herbicide are made to wheat seeded less than 1" deep. Crop injury may result if FINESSE herbicide is used where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied or is intended for use as an in-furrow treatment. PREPLANT AND PREEMERGENCE FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other products registered for preplant/preemergence use in wheat including products with the active ingredient glyphosate. In the case of tank mixes with other herbicides, it is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the 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. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this FINESSE herbicide label, DO NOT use in a tank mixture with FINESSE herbicide. Restrictions: 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 your area. CEREALS APPLICATIONS Precautions: • Wheat, barley, and triticale varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC advises that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, hmit the initial use of FINESSE herbicide to a small area. • Temporarx’ discoloration and/or crop injury may occur if FINESSE herbicide is applied when the crop is stressed by severe weather conditions (such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures), disease or insect damage, low fertility, applications to coarse soils, or when applied in combination with surfactant and high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. • 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 2 herbicides. • Avoid making more than two applications of FINESSE herbicide, and any other Group 2 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. • Manage weeds in and around fields, dining and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

Active Ingredient Equivalent Metsulfuron- methyl (Lb. ai/A) Active Ingredient Equivalent Metsulfuron- methyl (Lb. ai/A) Active Ingredient Equivalent Metsulfuron- methyl (Lb. ai/A) Bromus species (cheat, downy brome, Japanese brome): Best suppression of these grasses is achieved by applications of FINESSE herbicide with metribuzin either in tank mixtures or as sequential treatments. Additional information may be available in a metribuzin supplemental label for winter wheat, barley, and fallow. Allow for adequate rainfall (1/2 to 1") to move FINESSE herbicide and metribuzin into the weed root zone before weeds germinate and develop an established root system. Lack of adequate rainfall following application will result in reduced performance. To avoid the risk of cold weather-related crop injury and lack of performance, apply metribuzin before winter dormancy of the crop and grassy weeds. Excessive rainfall immediately after application may result in crop injury. DO NOT tank mix FINESSE herbicide plus metribuzin with any other pesticide other than surfactants specified on either the FINESSE herbicide or metribuzin labels. Apply only to metribuzin-approved varieties, see metribuzin label for listing of sensitive wheat and barley varieties. Preemergence/Sequential Applications_______________________________ Apply FINESSE herbicide at 0.5 oz per acre preemergence after planting winter wheat but before wheat emerges. A sequential application of metribuzin may be applied at label rates in the fall once the wheat has reached the 4 to 5-leaf stage of growth and the annual grassy weeds are in the 1 to 3- leaf stage of growth. Refer to the product containing the active ingredient metribuzin for rates and specific use instructions.

Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gal of spray solution (0.125 to 0.25% v/v); however, adding nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Note: In certain situations, 0.3 oz of FINESSE herbicide may provide acceptable control of Wild buckwheat. Consult local FMC directions for additional information. Wild radish: For best results, apply FINESSE herbicide at 0.3 to 0.4 oz per acre postemergence. With Diuron In areas where annual bluegrass, annual ryegrass, com gromwell, green foxtail (pigeongrass) and wild buckwheat are the main weed problems, apply Karmex DF herbicide at label rates plus 0.3 to 0.4 oz per acre FINESSE herbicide preemergence. For best results between 1/2" and 1" of rainfall is needed within 1 to 2 weeks after application. Follow all restrictions and use instructions on the diuron labels. For summer fallow (CO, KS, NE, NM, OK, SD, EX, WY), apply Karmex DF herbicide or Direx 4L herbicide at label rates (both products contain the active ingredient diuron) to wheat stubble or fallow in a tank mix with FINESSE herbicide at 0.2 to 0.3 ounce per acre. Add a Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) at 1 to 2 % v/v or a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25 to 0.5 % v/v. Glyphosate products plus AMS may also be added as needed. When using glyphosate products that contain a built-in adjuvant system, add a NIS at 0.25% v/v. Allow at least 90 days after application before planting winter wheat. Refer to the tank mix partners for rates and use instructions. Active Ingredient Equivalent Metsulfuron- methyl (Lb. ai/A) Active Ingredient Equivalent Metsulfuron- methyl (Lb. ai/A) FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with other registered herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, or liquid fertilizer. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the 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. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this FINESSE herbicide label, DO NOT use in a tank mixture with FINESSE herbicide. Since tank-mix partners can interfere with FINESSE herbicide dispersion in the spray solution, it is advised that FINESSE herbicide be slurried in a separate container before adding it to the tank mix. FINESSE herbicide must be in suspension in the spray tank before adding companion products. With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester) FINESSE herbicide can be used as a tank-mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides (ester formulations provide best results) after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 0.2 to 0.4 oz of FINESSE herbicide per acre; add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at label rates. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution; however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. DO NOT add a surfactant when FINESSE herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA is applied with liquid fertilizer. Apply FINESSE herbicide plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf stage but before boot stage. Apply FINESSE herbicide plus 2,4-D after tillering but before boot stage (refer to the appropriate 2,4-D manufacturer’s label). Applying a tank mixture of FINESSE herbicide, 2,4-D, or MCPA and liquid fertilizer when temperatures are below freezing or when the crop is stressed from cold weather just prior to winter dormancy can result in foliar bum and/or crop injury.

13 With Other Broadleaf Control Products For improved control of broadleaf weeds, FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides registered on cereals including Widematch herbicide, Aim® EC herbicide, Huskie® herbicide or Talmor™ herbicide. With Grass Control Products For improved control of grass weeds, FINESSE herbicide can be tank mixed with other grass control herbicides registered on cereals including Axial® XL herbicide, Discover® NG herbicide, Everest® 3.0 herbicide or PowerFlex® herbicide. Weed control antagonism generally does not occur when tank mixing herbicides. However, FMC advises that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent. Agricultural dealer, or FMC representative as to the potential for antagonism before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of FINESSE herbicide and the grass product to a small area. With Insecticides FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with insecticides registered for use on wheat, barley, and fallow. However, under certain conditions (drought or cold stress while crop is in the 2- to 4-leaf stage), tank mixtures or sequential treatments of FINESSE herbicide and organophosphate insecticides may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when there are wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or soon after treatment. Read and follow directions on companion product labels and limit first use to a small area. If no symptoms of crop injury appear, larger acreage can be treated. Restrictions DO NOT apply FINESSE herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in-ftirrow treatment, as crop injury may result. DO NOT use FINESSE herbicide plus malathion, as crop injury may result. In the Pacific Northwest, DO NOT use FINESSE herbicide with products containing the active ingredient chlorpyrifos, as crop injury may result. With Fungicides FINESSE herbicide may be tank mixed with other fungicides whenever the proper timing for herbicide and fungicide treatments coincide. With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer Solution Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing FINESSE herbicide in fertilizer solution. If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with FINESSE herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (See manufacturer’s label). Restrictions DO NOT add surfactant when using FINESSE herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0. DO NOT use low rates of liquid fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant. If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. Consult local specifications for details on surfactant addition. GRAZING There are no grazing restrictions on FINESSE herbicide. CROP ROTATION Before using FINESSE herbicide, carefullyconsideryourcroprotationplans and options. Forrotational flexibility, DO NOT treat all of your wheat, barley, or fallow acres at the same time. MINIMUM ROTATION INTERVALS Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of FINESSE herbicide applied. FINESSE herbicide breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, soil temperature and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase FINESSE herbicide breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow FINESSE herbicide breakdown. Of these three factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil 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 need to be monitored regularly when considering rotating to other crops.
- The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last FINESSE herbicide application to the anticipated date of the next planting.

In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of FINESSE herbicide. FINESSE herbicide may not be used on soils with a pH below 5.0, as additional crop stress from low pH and aluminum toxicity may result in crop injury. Checking Soil pH Before using FINESSE herbicide, determine the soil pH of the field. To obtain a representative pH value, take several samples from different areas of the field between 0" and 4" deep and analyze them separately. Consult local extension publications for additional information on advised soil sampling procedures. 7.9 or lower*** 7.2 or lower 7.3-7.5*** BIOASSAY A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop not listed (See the Rotation Intervals table), or if the soil pH is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not specified in the table, or if the minimum cumulative precipitation has not occurred since application. 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 FINESSE 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 state agricultural extension service for information detailing the field bioassay procedure.

These crops will have some level of temporary discoloration and/or crop injury if planted at this reduced interval after FINESSE herbicide application. This potential damage and yield loss is accepted by the grower due to the critical need to get a crop planted after this emergency. Growers not willing to accept this level of potential early season crop injury and yield loss need to follow the standard rotational guidelines in die table above, hi some cases, this injury may be severe and may affect the crop growth, development, and yield. The severity of the injury increases with higher pH levels, higher applied FINESSE herbicide rate, drier soil conditions after FINESSE herbicide application and prior to planting the rotational crop, and the shorter the rotational interval. tThese intervals may also be used for irrigated land. These intervals DO NOT apply to crops grown for seed. {Rotation intervals are based on normal precipitation/irrigation amounts.

DO NOT use FINESSE herbicide with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to below 3.0. APPLICATION METHOD Ground Application To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles. When using flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 3 GPA. When using flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 GPA, flood nozzles no larger than TKIO (or the equivalent), and a pressure ofat least 30 psi. For 40" nozzle spacings, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacings, use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. With Raindrop® RA nozzles, DO NOT use less than 20 GPA and overlap nozzles 100%. 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 and W ashington. When applying FINESSE herbicide by air in areas near sensitive crops, use solid-stream nozzles oriented straight back. Chemigation DO NOT apply FINESSE herbicide through any type of irrigation system. SPRAY EQUIPMENT For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer ’ s specifications for additional information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy. 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 under weather conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. Continuous agitation is required to keep FINESSE herbicide in suspension. Before Spraying FINESSE herbicide Spray equipment must be cleaned before FINESSE herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the 6 steps outlined below. At the End of the Day When multiple loads of FINESSE herbicide are applied, it is advised that 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 be flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits from accumulating in the application equipment. After Spraying FINESSE herbicide and before Spraying Crops Other Than Wheat Barley, Triticale, or Fallow To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applicationsofFINESSE herbicide asfollows:
20 2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits. 3. When FINESSE herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all required cleanout procedures need to be examined and the most rigorous procedure needs to be followed. 4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all preapplication cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products need to be followed as per the individual labels. 5. Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between applications of FINESSE herbicide and applications of other pesticides to FINESSE herbicide-sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is advised that a sprayer be dedicated to FINESSE herbicide to further reduce the chance of crop injury. 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 droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • 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. 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 droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. • Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to

EPA Registration Number 279-3241 279-9603 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 additive’s label. If using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).

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 height 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. 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.
