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 part 170.240 (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may
|
||
be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
USERS SHOULD: 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
|
||
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic plants. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or
|
||
to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target plants and aquatic
|
||
organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when weather conditions
|
||
favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters
|
||
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
|
||
runoff 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 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 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 treat ed 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.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
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.
|
||
For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||

|
||
TRAVALLAS™ herbicide, also referred to below as TRAVALLAS herbicide, must be used in accordance with
|
||
instructions on this label or as otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire label, including the Limitation of
|
||
Warranty and Liability.
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be used on wheat (including durum), barley and triticale in most states. Check with your
|
||
state extension service or Department of Agriculture before use, to be certain TRAVALLAS herbicide is registered in
|
||
your state.
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide is used for selective postemergence control or suppression of broadleaf weeds in wheat (winter,
|
||
spring and durum), barley and triticale not underseeded with legumes or grasses. TRAVALLAS herbicide contains three
|
||
active ingredients formulated as an oil dispersion. TRAVALLAS herbicide is to be mixed with water and applied as a
|
||
uniform broadcast spray early postemergence to the crop, to the main flush of actively growing broadleaf weeds. 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.
|
||
Biological Activity and Environmental Conditions
|
||
Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of TRAVALLAS herbicide by
|
||
allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be
|
||
adequately controlled or suppressed and regrowth may occur. TRAVALLAS herbicide may injure crops that are stressed
|
||
from adverse environmental conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or
|
||
cultural practices. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. See remaining "DIRECTIONS FOR
|
||
USE" sections of this label for complete use details.
|
||
Degree of control and duration of effect are dependent on weed sensitivity, weed size, crop competition, growing
|
||
conditions at and following treatment, and spray coverage.
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide is rain-fast 1 hour after application.
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of desirable trees, adjacent sensitive crops, 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 discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station.
|
||
DO NOT store pesticides near well sites.
|
||
DO NOT apply TRAVALLAS herbicide to wheat, barley and triticale that is stressed by severe weather conditions,
|
||
drought, low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, as crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest
|
||
when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following application also
|
||
may result in crop injury.
|
||
DO NOT apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate crops other than wheat, barley and triticale.
|
||
DO NOT apply by air in the State of New York.
|
||
DO NOT use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande, and Saguache counties of Colorado.
|
||
DO NOT apply TRAVALLAS herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has
|
||
been applied as an in-furrow treatment because crop injury may result.
|
||
DO NOT use TRAVALLAS herbicide plus Malathion because crop injury may result.
|
||
DO NOT apply to crops underseeded to legumes or grasses as injury to forage may result.
|
||
DO NOT use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer
|
||
solutions that contain sulfur may increase crop response.
|
||
DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
|
||
DO NOT make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that might cause spray
|
||
to drift onto non-target sites. For additional information on spray drift refer to the Spray Drift Management section of
|
||
label.
|
||
The maximum amount of metsulfuron methyl for all uses per year is 0.0038 lb. ai/A.

PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Varieties of wheat (including durum) barley and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. Consult your
|
||
state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to crop sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available ,
|
||
limit the initial use to a small area.
|
||
• Application of TRAVALLAS herbicide to crops that are stressed by severe weather conditions, drought (including low
|
||
levels of subsoil moisture), near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and following time of application, low fertility, water-
|
||
saturated soil, disease, or insect damage, may result in crop injury and reduced weed control may occur.
|
||
• Under certain conditions including heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night
|
||
temperatures prior to or soon after TRAVALLAS herbicide application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may
|
||
occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix TRAVALLAS herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform
|
||
best - see the "TANK MIXTURES" section of this label) and apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
• Effects of Temperature on Herbicidal Activity: Herbicidal activity of TRAVALLAS herbicide is influenced by weather
|
||
conditions. Optimum activity requires active plant growth. The temperature range for optimum herbicidal activity is 55°F
|
||
to 75°F. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 45°F or above 85°F. Frost before application (3 days)
|
||
or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance.
|
||
• 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, and avoid overfilling
|
||
of spray tank.
|
||
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide, which contains the active ingredients metsulfuron-methyl, thifensulfuron-methyl and fluroxpyr,
|
||
contains group 2 and 4 herbicides 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 management 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 th e successful implementation of a weed resistance management
|
||
program. To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes
|
||
present.
|
||
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
x Apply full rates of TRAVALLAS herbicide, for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct
|
||
weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product ag ainst a particular weed to your FMC representative, local
|
||
retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbic ide 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.
|
||
x Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
ဩ Failure to control a weed species norm ally controlled by the herbicide at th e dose applied, especially if control
|
||
is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
ဩ A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
ဩ 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:
|
||
x Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 herbicides.
|
||
x Avoid making more than two applications of TRAVALLAS 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
x 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 your area.

APPLICATION INFORMATION – Wheat, Barley and Triticale
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Apply TRAVALLAS herbicide after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage, but before the flag leaf is visible.
|
||
DO NOT harvest grain within 45 days of the last application.
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Make a single application of TRAVALLAS herbicide at 7 Lb. ai /A, (10 Fl Oz /A are allowed in the states of Idaho,
|
||
Oregon and Washington) for infestations of those weeds listed under the "WEEDS CONTROLLED/SUPPRESSED"
|
||
section of this label.
|
||
DO NOT make more than one application of TRAVALLAS herbicide per season. Consult table for use product rates
|
||
required to control/suppress listed weeds.
|
||
GRAZING/HARVESTING RESTRICTIONS
|
||
DO NOT graze or feed to livestock within 7 days of application.
|
||
DO NOT harvest treated hay within 30 days of application.
|
||
DO NOT harvest treated grain within 45 days of application.
|
||
CROP ROTATION/PLANT-BACK RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Before using TRAVALLAS herbicide carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility,
|
||
DO NOT treat all of your acres at the same time.
|
||
SOIL PH LIMITATIONS
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide must 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, TRAVALLAS herbicide could remain in the soil
|
||
for 34 months or more, injuring crops other than wheat or barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be
|
||
extremely sensitive to low concentrations of TRAVALLAS herbicide.
|
||
CHECKING SOIL PH
|
||
Before using TRAVALLAS 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 specified soil sampling procedures.

The minimum rotation interval is 34 months with at least 28” of cumulative precipitation during the period:
|
||
• to any major field crop not listed (See the appropriate Rotation Intervals table)
|
||
• if the soil pH is not in the specified range
|
||
• or if the minimum cumulative precipitation has not occurred since application. A field bioassay must be successfully
|
||
completed before rotation to any minor crops (as determined by the USDA criteria). See section on Field Bioassay for
|
||
further information.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
FIELD BIOASSAY
|
||
A field bioassay is necessary if crops other than wheat, barley, triticale or those listed on this label are to be planted on land
|
||
previously treated with TRAVALLAS 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 TRAVALLAS 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 loca l
|
||
FMC representative for information detailing field bioassay procedure.
|
||
WEED CONTROL INFORMATION
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide effectively controls or suppresses the growth of the following weeds when applied according to label
|
||
directions (refer to following table). For best results, apply to young, actively growing weeds that are less than 4” in height o r
|
||
diameter. Thorough coverage of target weeds is essential.

|
||
10
|
||
1 Common chickweed (ALS resistant): Apply 7 fl oz/A of TRAVALLAS herbicide when the majority of the chickweed
|
||
has germinated and are past the cotyledon stage but are small (1 to 6 leaf, less than 4 inches tall) and actively growing but
|
||
before crop canopy prevents thorough coverage of weeds. Chickweed emerging after application will not be controlled.
|
||
2 Wild buckwheat: Apply 7 fl oz/A of TRAVALLAS herbicide when the majority of the wild buckwheat has germinated
|
||
and are past the cotyledon stage but are small (less than 3 inches tall or across) and actively growing but before crop canopy
|
||
prevents thorough coverage of weeds.
|
||
3 Wild garlic: Apply TRAVALLAS herbicide when wild garlic plants are less than 12 inches tall with 2 to 4 inches of
|
||
new growth. Control may be reduced when plants are hardened-off by cold weather and/or drought stress. Control is
|
||
enhanced when applications are made during warm temperatures to actively growing wild garlic plants. Typical symptoms
|
||
of dying wild garlic plants (discoloration and collapse) may not be noticeable for 2-5 weeks.
|
||
4 Wild radish: Apply 7 fl oz/A of TRAVALLAS herbicide plus surfactant in the fall or spring to wild radish rosettes less
|
||
than 6 inches in diameter. Applications made later than 30 days after weed emergence will result in reduced control. Fall
|
||
applications must be made prior to hardening-off of plants.
|
||
5 Russian thistle: For best results use TRAVALLAS herbicide in a tank mix with dicamba and 2,4- D or MCPA (ester or
|
||
amine) or bromoxynil containing products.
|
||
6 Volunteer ExpressSun®/Clearfield® sunflower control: TRAVALLAS herbicide alone may not be adequately control
|
||
volunteer sunflowers including ExpressSun sunflowers that are bred for resistance to sulfonyl-urea (SU) herbicides.
|
||
7 Canada Thistle: Apply when the majority of thistles have emerged and are actively growing. For best top growth control,
|
||
apply before bud stage when thistles are no larger than 6” in height and before crop canopy prevents thorough coverage of
|
||
weeds. A single application will effectively inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with the crop. Later emerging
|
||
thistles will not be controlled.
|
||
8 Volunteer Clearfield® Canola: TRAVALLAS herbicide alone will not control or may only provide partial
|
||
control of Clearfield canola varieties that are bred for resistance to imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
In the case of tank mixes with other herbicides, it is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are regi stered
|
||
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.

Physical Compatibility
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide is physically compatible with many common used herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, liquid
|
||
fertilizers, nonionic surfactants, crop oils, methylated seed oils and drift control additives. However, since the formulations of
|
||
products change, it is important to test the physical compatibility of desired tank mixes and check for undesirable physical
|
||
effects, including settling out or flocculation. To determine physical compatibility, add the proportions of the tank mix
|
||
products and water to a clear glass quart container with lid, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for 30 minutes. If the
|
||
combination remains mixed, or can be re-mixed readily, it may be considered physically compatible.
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control weeds listed as partially
|
||
controlled, weeds resistant to TRAVALLAS herbicide or weeds not listed under the "WEEDS
|
||
CONTROLLED/SUPPRESSED" section of this label.
|
||
Read and follow all manufacturers’ label instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or insecticides. If those
|
||
instructions conflict with this label, DO NOT tank mix that product with TRAVALLAS herbicide. Follow the most restrictive
|
||
labeling.
|
||
Crop varieties can differ in their responsiveness to tank mixtures, and environmental conditions can have an influence on
|
||
product performance and crop response. It is not possible to test TRAVALLAS herbicide alone or with all possible tank mix
|
||
combinations and sequences on all varieties under all environmental conditions. When considering the use of a tank mixture
|
||
on a labeled crop without prior experience, or which is not specifically described on TRAVALLAS herbicide product
|
||
labeling or in other FMC product use instruction, it is important to check crop safety first. To test for crop safety, prepare a
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
small volume of the intended tank mixture or sequence, apply it to an area of the target crop as directed by both this and the
|
||
tank mix partner products labels, and observe the treated crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur.
|
||
Use of TRAVALLAS herbicide in any tank mixture or sequence of applications that is not specifically described on
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide product labeling or in other FMC product use instructions, could potentially result in crop injury.
|
||
Follow the restrictions and precautions on this label and on the label for any other product to be used in tank mixtures or in
|
||
sequential applications before making such applications to your crops. Follow the most restrictive label. To the extent
|
||
consistent with applicable law, FMC will not be responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of a tank mixture or
|
||
sequence of applications that is not specifically described on TRAVALLAS herbicide product labeling or in other FMC
|
||
product use instruction.
|
||
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed with the amine and ester formulations 2,4-D and MCPA herbicides. For best
|
||
results in the Red River Valley and adjacent areas of North Dakota and Minnesota, add the ester formulations of these
|
||
herbicides to the tank at 3/8 lb active ingredient/A. No additional surfactant is needed with this mixture. For best results in
|
||
other areas, add the ester formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 0.25 to 0.375 lb active ingredient.
|
||
Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution; however, adding
|
||
nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury, especially at the higher phenoxy rates.
|
||
With dicamba
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed with dicamba. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart
|
||
per 100 gallons of spray solution; however, adding nonionic surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury.
|
||
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester) and dicamba
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of 2,4-D or MCPA and dicamba. Nonionic
|
||
surfactant may be added to the mixture at 0.5 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution; however, adding nonionic
|
||
surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury, especially at the higher phenoxy rates. Apply to winter wheat after the
|
||
crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In Spring Wheat (including Durum), apply after the crop is tillering and
|
||
before it exceeds the 5-leaf stage. In Spring Barley, apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 4-leaf stage.
|
||
With Other Broadleaf Control Products
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed with other broadleaf herbicides registered on cereals including HARMONY®
|
||
SG herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules), EXPRESS® herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules), Aim® EC
|
||
herbicide, as well as herbicides containing bromoxynil, metribuzin and glyphosate.
|
||
Tank mixtures of TRAVALLAS herbicide plus metribuzin may result in reduced control of wild garlic.
|
||
With Grass Control Products
|
||
For improved control of grass weeds, TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed with other grass control herbicides
|
||
registered on cereals including GR1™ herbicide. Antagonism generally does not occur; 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 TRAVALLAS
|
||
herbicide and the grass product to a small area.
|
||
With Fungicides
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with fungicides registered for use on cereal crops.
|
||
With Insecticides
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on cereal crops;
|
||
however, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2 to 4 leaf stage), tank mixtures or
|
||
sequential applications of TRAVALLAS herbicide with organophosphate insecticides ( including chlorpyrifos and malathion
|
||
containing 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.
|
||
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
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide in fertilizer solution. TRAVALLAS herbicide must first be mixed 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 TRAVALLAS herbicide is added.
|
||
Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
|
||
|
||
12
|
||
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 0.5 to 2 pt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 to 0.25% v/v) based on local
|
||
guidance.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of cro p
|
||
injury. If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with TRAVALLAS herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be
|
||
more compatible (see manufacturer’s label). Additional surfactant may not be needed when using TRAVALLAS 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 guidance 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 area s
|
||
consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for guidance before using nitrogen fertilizer
|
||
carrier solutions.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS - ALL CROPS OR USES
|
||
Include a spray adjuvant with applications of TRAVALLAS herbicide. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be
|
||
used. See TANK MIXTURES for additional information on adjuvant directions for certain tank mixtures. Consult your Ag
|
||
dealer or applicator, local FMC fact sheets and technical bulletins prior to using an adjuvant system. If another herbicide is
|
||
tank mixed with TRAVALLAS herbicide select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only
|
||
EPA- exempt ingredients.
|
||
NONIONIC SURFACTANT (NIS)
|
||
• Apply 0.06 to 0.25% v/v (0.5 to 2 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.
|
||
CROP OIL CONCENTRATE (COC) - PETROLEUM OR MODIFIED SEED OIL (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution). MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v if specified on local FMC
|
||
product literature or service policies.
|
||
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15%
|
||
surfactant emulsifiers.

|
||
SPECIAL ADJUVANT TYPES
|
||
• 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.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Select a spray volume that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. If tank mixing with other herbicides,
|
||
always consult the label of the tank mix partner(s) for minimum spray volume requirements and apply the tank mixture using
|
||
a water volume directed for all products.
|
||
1. Always start with a clean and empty sprayer tank.
|
||
2. Fill the tank with clean water one half of the required spray volume.
|
||
3. With the agitator running, shake product well then add the required amount of TRAVALLAS Herbicide. Continue to
|
||
agitate for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure that TRAVALLAS herbicide is completely dispersed.
|
||
4. If tank mixing TRAVALLAS herbicide with another herbicide, follow this mixing order: dry flowables and soluble
|
||
granules, followed by liquids, TRAVALLAS herbicide, then oil dispersions (OD) or emulsifiable concentrates (EC).
|
||
Maintain continuous agitation.
|
||
5. Add the rest of the water.
|
||
6. If required for the tank mixture, add the appropriate adjuvant. If an antifoam agent is required, add last.
|
||
7. Continue agitation sufficient enough to maintain a uniform spray solution.
|
||
8. Refer to the tank mix sections of this booklet for mixing order and other mixing instructions.
|
||

|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for additional information on GPA, pressure,
|
||
speed, nozzle types and arrangements.
|
||
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.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
|
||
• Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
• For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 8 gal/A (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 advised for TRAVALLAS herbicide applications, as weed control performance maybe
|
||
reduced.
|
||
• Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver maximum coverage at 3 to 5 GPA.
|
||
Use at least 3 GPA. DO NOT apply TRAVALLAS herbicide by air in the state of New York.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
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 droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. Wh ile
|
||
applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly o r 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 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 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.
|
||
BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Take precautions to minimize 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 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. Prefer red
|
||
drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
|
||
SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT
|
||
BEFORE SPRAYING TRAVALLAS HERBICIDE
|
||
The spray equipment must be clean before TRAVALLAS herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the
|
||
labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the four steps outlined in the After Spraying
|
||
TRAVALLAS herbicide section of this label.
|
||
|
||
15
|
||
AT THE END OF THE DAY
|
||
When multiple loads of TRAVALLAS 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 prevent the buildup
|
||
of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in the application equipment.
|
||
AFTER SPRAYING TRAVALLAS HERBICIDE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN WHEAT
|
||
AND BARLEY
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
|
||
applications of TRAVALLAS 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 bypass lines, for at least two minutes. If boom is equipped with multiple nozzle bodies, be sure to rotate
|
||
through all nozzles to ensure clean water reaches all parts of these assemblies. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer.
|
||
Completely drain the sump.
|
||
3. Visually inspect the tank to ensure removal of all visible herbicide residues. If necessary, repeat Step 2.
|
||
4. Fill the tank with clean water, and then add 1 gallon of a high pH sprayer tank cleaner, per 100 gallons of water, or an
|
||
equivalent amount of household AMMONIA (containing minimum of 3% ammonia) per 100 gallons of water. A high pH
|
||
tank cleaner or ammonia will not neutralize the herbicide, but helps dissolve any residual herbicide deposits.
|
||
5. Flush the solution through boom and hoses, and then add more water to completely fill tank. Allow to sit for at least 15
|
||
minutes with agitation.
|
||
6. Drain the tank and sump.
|
||
7. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
|
||
8. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes, flushing water through the hoses and boom.
|
||
9. The rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) specified on this label. If 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 disposa l
|
||
facility.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
2. When TRAVALLAS herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product must be
|
||
examined and the most rigorous procedure needs to be followed.
|
||
3. Follow any pre-cleanout guidelines specified on other product labels.
