|
||
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. Fo r any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult
|
||
the agency responsibleforpesticideregulation.
|
||
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard
|
||

|
||
farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. Keep unprotected persons out of treated areasuntil sprays have dried.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Metsulfuron methyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use.
|
||
Metsulfuron methyl may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable , particularly where the wate r
|
||
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 cl assified as having high potential for reaching surface water
|
||
via runoff for several weeks or more after application. A le vel, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to
|
||
which this product is applied and surface water features incl uding ponds, streams, and spri ngs will reduce the potential
|
||
loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runof f of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding
|
||
applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected 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
|
||
movement of windblown soil include the intensity and dir ection 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 ho w to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift
|
||
Management section of this label.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170.
|
||
This Standard contains requirements for the protection o f agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and
|
||
greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination,
|
||
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the
|
||
statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in
|
||
this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 4 hours.
|
||
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
|
||
contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil, or water, is:
|
||
Coveralls.
|
||
Shoes plus socks.

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP herbicide is registered for use on land primarily dedicated to the production of wheat, barley,
|
||
triticale and fallow.
|
||
Use Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP on wheat, barley, triticale and fallow in most states. Check with your state extension or
|
||
Department of Agriculture before use, to be certain Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is registered in your state.
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is not register ed for use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, RioGrande, and Saquache counties of
|
||
Colorado.
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is a dry-flowable granule that cont rols weeds in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale and
|
||
fallow. Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is mixed in water or can be preslurried in water and added to liquid nitrogen carrier
|
||
solutions and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. Use a surfactant in the spray mix unless otherwise specified on this
|
||
label. Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze.
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP controls weeds by postemergence ac tivity. For best results, apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP to
|
||
young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed spectrum and size of weeds at application. The
|
||
degree and duration of control may depend on the following factors:
|
||
x weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
x weed size at application
|
||
x environmental condition at and following treatment
|
||
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. Leaves of
|
||
susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing point subsequently dies.
|
||
Application of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds.
|
||
Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a crop canopy that is too dense
|
||
at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (including extreme
|
||
temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop may be
|
||
sensitive to treatment with Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of such varieties may injure
|
||
crops.
|
||
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds; in cold, dry conditions, expression of
|
||
herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to Metsulfuron Methyl
|
||
75XP.
|
||
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application.
|
||
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 conflicts with this Metsulfuron Methyl 27XP label, do not use in a tank mixture with Metsulfuron
|
||
Methyl 75XP.

|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixing/loadingstation.
|
||
• Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots
|
||
extend, or in locations where the product may be washed or moved into contact with their roots, as injury or loss of
|
||
desirable trees or other plants may result.
|
||
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, golf courses, athletic fields, commercial sod operations, or
|
||
other high-maintenance, fine turfgrass areas, or similar areas.
|
||
• Do not use on grasses grown for seed.
|
||
• Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate crops other than wheat and barley.
|
||
• Do not apply to frozen ground as surface runoff may occur.
|
||
• Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
|
||
• Do not apply to wheat, barley or triticale undersown with legumes, as injury to the forage may result.
|
||
• 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
|
||
immediately adjacent crops may occur when treated soil is blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal
|
||
grains or pasture/rangeland.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the wellsite.
|
||
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
• Assure accurate measurement of pesticides by all operation employees.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates/uses.
|
||
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
|
||
• When triple rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
• Wheat and barley 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,
|
||
limit the initial use of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP to a small area.
|
||
• Under certain conditions (including: heavy rainfall, water-satu rated soil, prolonged cold weather, wide fluctuations in
|
||
day/night temperatures pre or post application, severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, disease, or insect
|
||
damage) temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. Ri sk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf
|
||
stage. Do not apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP to wheat or barley under these conditions if this crop response is
|
||
unacceptable.
|
||
• The combined treatment effects of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP postemergence preceded by preemergence wild oat
|
||
herbicides may cause crop injury to spring wheat when crop stress (soil crusting, planting too deep, prolonged cold
|
||
weather, or drought) causes poor seedling vigor.
|
||
• For ground applications applied to weeds when dry, dusty fi eld 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.
|
||
• Preplant or preemergence applications of 2,4-D or herbicides containing 2,4-D made within 2 weeks of planting spring
|
||
cereals may cause crop injury when used in conjunction with early postemergence applications of Metsulfuron Methyl
|
||
75XP. For increased crop safety, delay Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP treatment until crop tillering hasbegun.
|
||
• In the Pacific Northwest, to prevent cold weather-related crop injury, avoid making applications during winter months
|
||
when weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe.
|
||

|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP, which contains the active ingredient 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 impor tant 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, follow as many of these herbicide resistance
|
||
management practices as is practical:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes
|
||
present.
|
||
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
• Apply full rates of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP 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 reprod uce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative, local
|
||
retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA
|
||
have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this
|
||
product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each
|
||
target weed.
|
||
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed es capes 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 seed production.
|
||
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by th e 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.
|
||
• 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 Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP 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, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-
|
||
free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
• Use good agronomic principles that enhan ce 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 seedproduction.

|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Mana gement (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and
|
||
genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IP M principles and practices include field scouting or other
|
||
detection methods, correct target pest identification, populati on monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach
|
||
locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state coope rative 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.

||
SPECIFIC WEED INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Note: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is very important
|
||
Blue Mustard, Flixweed, and Tansymustard: For best results, apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP tank mixtures with 2,4-D or
|
||
MCPA postemergence to mustards, but before bloom.
|
||
Canada Thistle and Sowthistle: Apply either Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus surfactant or Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus
|
||
2,4-D or MCPA in the spring after most 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 and Pr ostrate Knotweed: Apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus surfactant when weeds are actively
|
||
growing, are no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-D or MCPA with
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP can improve results.
|
||
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur. For best
|
||
results, apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in a tank mix with dica mba and 2,4-D, or bromoxynil and 2,4-D containing products.
|
||
Apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in the spring when kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2"
|
||
across and are actively growing (refer to the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
|
||
Sunflower (common/volunteer): Apply either Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus surfactant or Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus
|
||
2,4-D or MCPA after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall and are actively growing. Use spray volumes of
|
||
at least 3 gallons by air or 5 gallons by ground.
|
||
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus 2,4-D or MCPA when plants have no more than 3 true
|
||
leaves (not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay treatment until environmental conditions favor active
|
||
weedgrowth.
|
||

||
grains. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2 to 4-leaf stage), tank mixes or
|
||
sequential applications of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP with organophosphate insecticides 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 just
|
||
prior to or soon after application.Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
|
||
Restrictions:
|
||
x Do notapply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been
|
||
applied as an in-furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
|
||
x Do not use Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus Malathion, as crop injury will result.
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in fertilizer solution. Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP must first be slurried with water and then added to
|
||
liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP 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 addition of
|
||
surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at labeled rates based on local specifications.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury.
|
||
Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or FMC representative for a specific directions before adding an adjuvant
|
||
to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more
|
||
compatible (See manufacturer’s label).Do not add surfactant when using Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in tank mix with 2,4-D ester
|
||
or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
|
||
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 directions before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier
|
||
solutions. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
|
||
Restrictions:
|
||
x Do notuse low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
x Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.

Tank Mixtures in Harvest Aid
|
||
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 a nd precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. If the instructions on
|
||
the tank mix partner label conflicts with this Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP label, do not use in a tank mixture with Metsulfuron
|
||
Methyl 75XP.
|
||
A tank mix of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus 2,4-D and surfactant, or glyphosate, will typically aid in dry down of many
|
||
broadleaved weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest. Make postemergence application to actively growing weeds after the crop is
|
||
in the hard dough stage. If weeds are not dry within 10 days after application, delay harvest until weeds are dry. See weeds
|
||
listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label.
|
||
With 2,4-D
|
||
Use 0.08 ounce per acre (0.0038 Lb ai/A.) Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP plus products containing the active ingredient 2,4-D at
|
||
labeled rates on moderate weed infestations; higher rates of 2,4-D may be used on large weeds if permitted by the 2,4-D
|
||
brand labeling. Include 1 to 2 quarts surfactant per 100 gallons spray solution.
|
||
In addition to the weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label, the 2,4-D combination will also dry down common
|
||
cocklebur, marestail, puncturevine and common and wild sunflower. In areas where 2,4-D use is restricted, apply
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP with surfactant only; however, this treatment may be less effective.
|
||

• Restrictions
|
||
• Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.

|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles. For flood nozzles on
|
||
30" spacings, use at least 10 gallons per acre (GPA), flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or equivalent), and a pressure of at
|
||
least 30 pounds per square inch (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, use at least 30 GPA and ensure that
|
||
nozzle spray patterns overlap 100%. For flat-fan nozzles, use at least 3 GPA for applications to wheat or barley. Use 50-mesh
|
||
screens or larger.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spra y distribution and maximum coverage. Wheat, Barley, Triticale
|
||
and Fallow-use 1 to 5 GPA. Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
|
||
When applying Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP by air in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid stream nozzles oriented straight
|
||
back. Adjust the swath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops downwind and/or use ground equipment to treat the
|
||
border edge of fields. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label.
|
||
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is measured using the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP volumetric measuring cylinder. The degree of
|
||
accuracy of this cylinder varies by +/- 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces.
|
||
WITH LIQUID NITROGEN SOLUTION FERTILIZER
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixin g
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in fertilizer solution.
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0).
|
||
Ensure that the agitator is running while the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP 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 additi on of
|
||
surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 0.25 pt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.03% v/v ).
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray so lution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury.
|
||
Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or FMC representative for specific directions before adding an adjuvant
|
||
to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP a nd fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more
|
||
compatible (See manufacturer’s label).
|
||
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 fl uctuating day/night temperatures exist. In these areas consult
|
||
your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for specific directions before using nitrogen fertili zer
|
||
carrier solutions.
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
• Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
|
||
• Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
• Do not add surfactant when using Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in tank mix with 2,4-D ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer
|
||
solutions.
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
Before using Metsulfuron Met hyl 75XP, carefully consider your crop rotati on plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do
|
||
not treat all of your wheat, barley, triticale, grain sorghum or fallow acres at the same time.
|
||
Minimum Rotational Intervals
|
||
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP applied. Metsulfuron
|
||
Methyl 75XP 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 Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP breakdown in soil,
|
||
while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP breakdown.
|
||
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, can var y
|
||
significantly from year to year and from area to area. For th is reason, monitor soil temperatures and soil moisture 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.
|
||
|
||
15
|
||
Soil pH Limitations
|
||
Do not use Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend crop
|
||
rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP could remain in the soil for 34 months
|
||
or more, injuring wheat and barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low
|
||
concentrations of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP.
|
||
Checking Soil pH
|
||
Before using Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP, 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 advised soil sampling procedures.
|
||
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.
|
||
Field Bioassay
|
||
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 Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP. 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 Agricultu ral dealer or FMC representative for information detailing the
|
||
field bioassay procedure.

|
||
Restrictions
|
||
• When Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is applied at 0.026 ounces/acre, do not use liquid fertilizer in addition to, or as a
|
||
substitute for, a surfactant.
|
||
• Do not use on soils with pH greater than 7.9 (for example, highly calcareous soils) if the following rotated crop is
|
||
sensitive to Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP. Extended soil residual activity could adversely affect minimum rotation intervals
|
||
for all crops.

GRAZING/HAYING
|
||
There are no grazing restrictions on Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP.
|
||
Treated vegetation may be cut for forage or hay. Coveralls, shoes plus socks must be worn if cutting within 4 hours of
|
||
treatment.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 0.25 to 0.33 full of water (If using liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in place of water, see Tank Mixtures
|
||
sections for additional details).
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. Mix
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP thoroughly with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix pa rtners (if desired) then add the necessary volume of nonionic surfactant. Always
|
||
add surfactant last.
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
|
||
7. Apply Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the Metsulfuron
|
||
Methyl 75XP in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the
|
||
dissolution of the Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
• Do not use Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to below 3.0.
|
||
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, 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 the crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overl apping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning,
|
||
slowing, or stopping to avoid crop injury.
|
||
Continuous agitation is required to keep Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP in suspension.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
• Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might cause spray to
|
||
drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of the
|
||
label.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
Spray equipment must be cleaned before Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on
|
||
the labels of previously applied products. If no dir ections are provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP section of this label.
|
||
At the End of the Day
|
||
When multiple loads of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP 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 flushed. This will preven t
|
||
the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in the application equipment.
|
||
|
||
22
|
||
After Spraying Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP and Before Spraying Crops Other Than Wheat, Barley,
|
||
Triticale, Grain Sorghum or Fallow
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
|
||
applications of Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP as follows:
|
||
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any
|
||
visible deposits.
|
||
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush
|
||
the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the
|
||
cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the
|
||
cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separatelyin a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
|
||
4. Repeat step2.
|
||
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) specified on this label.
|
||
Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal
|
||
instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
|
||
* Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or a FMC-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout procedure.
|
||
Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult your agricultural dealer, applicator, or FMC representat ive for a
|
||
listing of approved cleaners.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Attention: Do notuse chlorinebleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will form.Do notclean equipment in an enclosed area.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the removal of any
|
||
cakeddeposits.
|
||
3. When Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP is tank mixed with other pesticides, examine all required cleanout proce dures and follow
|
||
the most rigorous procedure.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, follow all pre-cleanout guide lines on subsequently applied products as per the
|
||
individual labels.
|
||
5. Where routine spraying practices include shared equipm ent frequently being switched between applications of
|
||
Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP and applications of other pesticid es to Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP-sensitive crops during the
|
||
same spray season, it is advised that a sprayer be dedicate d to Metsulfuron Methyl 75XP to further reduce the chance of
|
||
crop injury.

||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height advised 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 (ASABES572.1).
|
||
• 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 (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.
|
||
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.
|
||
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 droplet s. 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 advised for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
|
||
reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers specifications for setting up nozzles. Generally,
|
||
to reduce fine droplets, orient nozzles parallel with the airflow inflight.
|
||
|
||
24
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is co mpatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground
|
||
equipment, maintain the boom level with the crop and minimize bounce.
|
||
BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
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.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind spee d. 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.
|
||
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 ADDITIVIES
|
||
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 Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).
