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.
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 of agricult ural 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.

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 users 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.
The maximum amount of thifensulfuron methyl for all uses per year is 0.0469 lb. ai./A.
The maximum amount of fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester for all uses per year is 0.25 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.

• 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.

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 users 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 manufacturers 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.
AMMONIUM NITROGEN FERTILIZER
• Use 2 qt/A of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/A of a spray-grade
ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/A UAN or 4 lb/A AMS under arid conditions.
• See TANK MIXTURES with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer for instructions on using fertilizer as a carrier in place of water.
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.
13
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturers 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.
14
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 additives label. If using an additive that increases
viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. 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.
