|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is a meristematic inhibitor that interferes with the plant's cellular division or mitosis.
|
||
|
||
Weed Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is a Group 3 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or
|
||
develop plants naturally resistant to Pendimethalin 3.3 EC and other Group 3 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may
|
||
dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance
|
||
management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC or other Group 3 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
|
||
among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on
|
||
resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the
|
||
target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or
|
||
certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
|
||
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control
|
||
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the
|
||
crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
x Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to
|
||
determine if the intended application will be effective.
|
||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development.
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
|
||
1) Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
|
||
control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
2) A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
|
||
3) Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a
|
||
different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds
|
||
to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean
|
||
seed.
|
||
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
|
||
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for
|
||
pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and
|
||
resistant weed biotypes.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative.

Application Rate
|
||
Use rates for Pendimethalin 3.3 EC when used alone, in tank mix, or sequential applications are given in the Crop-
|
||
specific Information section of this label. Use rates of this product vary by soil texture and organic matter. See Table
|
||
2 for soil texture groupings used in this label.

*Sometimes considered transitional soils and may be classified as either medium- or
|
||
fine-textured soils.
|
||
Peat and Muck soils: Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be used on peat and muck soils,
|
||
but weed control may be inconsistent and/or reduced. Use maximum labeled use
|
||
rate allowed in the specific crop.
|
||
|
||
Application Timings
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will provide most effective weed control when applied by ground or aerial equipment and
|
||
subsequently incorporated into soil within 7 days after application by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage
|
||
prior to weed seedling emergence from soil. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC can also be applied through chemigation, including
|
||
flooded basin irrigation systems. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is labeled for preplant surface, preplant incorporated, surface
|
||
incorporated, preemergence, early postemergence, postemergence incorporated (CULTI-SPRAY) or layby treatment.
|
||
See the Crop-specific Information section of this label for application directions by crop.
|
||
|
||
Preplant Surface Applications: For use in minimum tillage or no-tillage production systems, apply Pendimethalin
|
||
3.3 EC alone or in tank mixes up to 45 days before planting. When making early preplant surface applications (15 to 45
|
||
days prior to planting), tank mix Pendimethalin 3.3 EC or follow with a postemergence herbicide application. Rainfall
|
||
or sprinkler irrigation within 7 days after application is required to move this product into the upper soil surface where
|
||
weed seeds germinate.
|
||
|
||
Preplant Incorporated Applications: Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC and incorporate into the upper (1 inch to 2 inches)
|
||
soil surface up to 60 days before planting. Use an implement capable of giving uniform incorporation; two-pass
|
||
incorporation usually results in a more consistent result.
|
||
|
||
Surface Incorporated Applications: Uniformly apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC as broadcast or banded treatment to soil
|
||
surface underneath established trees and/or in ground areas between trees rows. Within 7 days after application,
|
||
incorporate into upper (1 inch to 2 inches) soil surface using either rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechanical
|
||
incorporation using an implement capable of giving uniform incorporation; two-pass mechanical incorporation usually
|
||
results in a more consistent result.
|
||
|
||
Preemergence Surface Applications: Broadcast treatment uniformly to the soil surface at planting and up to 2 days
|
||
after planting. Rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechanical incorporation within 7 days after application is
|
||
required to move this product into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. If adequate rainfall or irrigation
|
||
does not occur and weed seedling emergence begins, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will improve performance.
|
||
|
||
Early Postemergence Applications: Pendimethalin 3.3 EC must be applied prior to weed seedling emergence or in
|
||
a tank mix with products that control the emerged weeds. Refer to the Crop-specific Information section of this label
|
||
for specific postemergence application instructions by crop.
|
||
|

Postemergence Incorporated Applications (CULTI-SPRAY): Prior to application, the crop must be cultivated in such
|
||
a manner as to throw at least one inch of soil over the base of the crop plants. This will prevent direct contact of
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC and the zone of brace root formation. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC must be applied broadcast with a
|
||
ground sprayer when crop is at least 4 inches tall up to layby. Use drop nozzles if crop foliage will prevent uniform
|
||
coverage of the soil surface within the rows. Thoroughly and uniformly incorporate Pendimethalin 3.3 EC treatments
|
||
into the soil with:
|
||
(1) a sweep-type or rolling cultivator set to provide thorough incorporation in the top 1 inch of soil, or
|
||
(2) adequate overhead irrigation water or rainfall. See the Crop-specific Information (Corn and Grain
|
||
Sorghum) section of this label for more details on (CULTI-SPRAY) application.
|
||
|
||
Layby Application: Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC directly to the soil between rows as a directed spray following the
|
||
last normal cultivation (layby). See the Crop-specific Information section of this label for more details on layby
|
||
application.
|
||
|
||
Split Applications: Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied pre-plant incorporated up to 60 days prior to planting and
|
||
followed by a preemergence application at planting or up to 2 days after planting. The total amount of Pendimethalin
|
||
3.3 EC applied per acre per season cannot exceed the highest labeled rate for any given soil type. See the Crop-
|
||
specific Information section of this label for more details on split applications.
|
||
|
||
Fall Applications: Pe ndimethalin 3.3 EC may be used in fall application programs in certain crops. See the Crop-
|
||
specific Information section of this label for details on fall application timing.

Spraying Instructions
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied using either water or sprayable fluid fertilizer (such as straight 32-0-0 or 28-0-
|
||
0) as the spray carrier. Additionally, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer. Sprayable fluid
|
||
fertilizer as a carrier is NOT labeled for use after crop emergence unless the typical fertilizer burn symptoms on the
|
||
crop are acceptable.
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
Uniformly apply in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. Exercise caution to minimize drift. Spray drift can cause injury
|
||
to sensitive crops. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for spray drift mitigation measures. Use a
|
||
flagman or an automatic mechanical flagging unit on the aircraft to avoid overlapping and possible crop injury.
|
||
Ground Applications (Broadcast)
|
||
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water per acre or 20 or more gal-
|
||
lons of liquid fertilizer per acre. Use sprayers equipped with appropriate nozzles that provide uniform and accurate
|
||
spray distribution and minimize drift. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for spray drift mitigation
|
||
measures. Keep the bypass line on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Nozzle and in-line screens
|
||
must be no finer than 50 mesh. Application of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC during periods of gusty winds may result in
|
||
uneven applications. DO NOT apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC postemergence in liquid fertilizers.
|
||
If liquid fertilizer/herbicide(s) mixture separates in the spray tank, clogged equipment and uneven application can
|
||
result. Always predetermine the compatibility of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone or with other herbicides based on the
|
||
following compatibility "jar test":
|
||
1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to a quart jar.
|
||
2. Add 1 to 4 teaspoon(s) of the Dry Flowable (DF), Wettable Powder (WP), Aqueous Solution (AS), Flowable (F) or
|
||
Liquid (L) formulation (depending on mixing ratio required) to the liquid fertilizer. The number of teaspoons of the
|
||
formulation to add can be determined by the following formula:
|
||
|
||
Lbs or pts of product/acre X 11.4 = number of teaspoons of herbicide to add to 1 pint of fertilizer
|
||
Gallons of fertilizer/acre
|
||
3. Close the jar and agitate until the herbicide(s) are evenly dispersed in the liquid fertilizer. If the materials DO NOT
|
||
disperse well, it may be necessary to slurry the chemicals in water before adding to the fertilizer.
|
||
4. After dispersing the materials, add appropriate number of teaspoons of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC to the jar and shake
|
||
well. Add water soluble concentrate herbicides to the mixture last and agitate. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes
|
||
and then observe the results. Look for signs of separation: an oily layer or globules, sludge, flakes or other
|
||
precipitates.
|
||
5. Evaluate compatibility.
|
||
a) If the herbicide(s) and liquid fertilizer mixture does not separate, use this mixture in your spray tank.
|
||
b) If the mixture separates but mixes readily with shaking, the mixture can be used provided that good agitation
|
||
is maintained in the spray tank.
|
||
c) If separation of the mixture occurs and agitation does not correct this problem, a compatibility agent is
|
||
needed.
|
||
6. If the need for a compatibility agent is demonstrated, the following procedure is recommended: Using a clean quart
|
||
jar, repeat step 1 above and add 1/2 teaspoon of the compatibility agent to the liquid fertilizer. Mix well and repeat
|
||
steps 2, 3 and 4. If separation or precipitation occurs with the compatibility agent, DO NOT use Pendimethalin 3.3
|
||
EC with that specific liquid fertilizer.
|
||
|
||
Ground Applications (Band)
|
||
Uniformly apply the broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. To determine these:
|
||
|
||
Band Width in Inches X Broadcast Rate = Band Rate
|
||
Row Width in Inches per Acre per Acre
|
||
|
||
Band Width in Inches X Broadcast = Band Volume
|
||
Row Width in Inches Volume per Acre per Acre
|
||
|
||
Ground Applications (Dry Bulk Fertilizer)
|
||
Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC /dry bulk fertilizer mixtures only with ground equipment. DO NOT impregnate
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC onto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because these materials will not absorb the
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
herbicide. Dry fertilizer blends containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate or limestone may be impregnated with
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC . A minimum of 200 pounds of impregnated dry bulk fertilizer, excluding the weight of
|
||
ammonium nitrate or limestone, must be applied per acre.
|
||
Use the following formula to determine the amount (in pints) of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC to be impregnated on a ton of
|
||
dry bulk fertilizer based on the rate of fertilizer to be applied per acre:
|
||
|
||
2000 Pints of Pints of
|
||
Pounds of Dry X Pendimethalin 3.3 EC = Pendimethalin 3.3 EC per
|
||
Fertilizer per Acre (Labeled Rate per Acre) Ton of Fertilizer
|
||
To impregnate Pendimethalin 3.3 EC on bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry
|
||
bulk fertilizer blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. Spray nozzles must be placed to provide uniform
|
||
coverage of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC onto the fertilizer during mixing.
|
||
Apply the Pendimethalin 3.3 EC /dry bulk fertilizer mixture with an accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC/dry bulk fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly on the soil surface.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation Applications via Sprinkler Irrigation Systems
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied as a chemigation treatment through sprinkler irrigation systems. Refer to the
|
||
Crop-specific Information sections of this label for individual crops. DO NOT apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC via
|
||
chemigation to crops unless specified in the Crop-specific Information section.
|
||
Apply this product ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation system of the following type: center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
|
||
side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply this product through any other type of sprinkler irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
Uniform distribution of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC-treated irrigation water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is
|
||
required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. If you have any
|
||
questions about calibration, contact state extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
|
||
|
||
The system must be properly calibrated (with water only) to ensure that the amount of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC applied
|
||
corresponds to the labeled rate. Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC in 1/2 to 3/4 inches of water during the first sprinkler set
|
||
(use at least 1 inch of water in the states of Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma). Maintain agitation in the injection
|
||
nurse tank to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during appl ication. When application is complete, flush the system
|
||
with water.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation Instructions (for low volume micro sprinklers)
|
||
Output of low volume sprinkler 4 to 50 gallons per hour (gph) per emitter. Point of application MUST be above ground.
|
||
Run the irrigation system a sufficient amount of time prior to Pendimethalin 3.3 EC injection to ensure all emitters are
|
||
functioning properly. After the system is operating properly, the length of injection should be such that at one period of
|
||
time during the injection, the first and last emitters in the system contain Pendimethalin 3.3 EC treated water. Add
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC to the supply tank already filled with the volume of water required for the injection period.
|
||
Maintain proper agitation in the Pendimethalin 3.3 EC injection tank. Mix Pendimethalin 3.3 EC in clean water and
|
||
inject down the line from filters. Following Pendimethalin 3.3 EC injection, flush the system for a period of time
|
||
sufficient to clear the line of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC. (If Pendimethalin 3.3 EC application is made during a normal
|
||
irrigation cycle, make the injection during the last stage.)
|
||
|
||
Chemigation Calibration (for low volume microsprinklers)
|
||
Calculation of use rate is based on wetted area around emitters - NOT on tree acres.
|
||
|
||
To determine the correct amount of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, use the following formula:
|
||
|
||
1. Treated area per each emitter = A A = 3.14 x (radius x radius)
|
||
2. The area in square feet wet in each acre = B B = A x emitters/acre
|
||
144
|
||
3. The total area (in square feet) wet by your system = C C = B x acres covered by system.
|
||
4. Rate per treated acre of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC (based on length of control desired) = R
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
Amount of
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC S = C X R = qts of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC
|
||
To inject = S 43,560
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
If the average distance from emitter to perimeter of wetted area measured one inch below soil surface is 13
|
||
inches, then
|
||
A= 3.14 x (13” x 13”),
|
||
and A = 530.7 square inches.
|
||
If there are 300 emitters per acre, then
|
||
B = 530.7 x 300 and B = 1105.6 square feet
|
||
144 wetted per acre.
|
||
If the system covers 20 acres, then
|
||
C = 1105.6 square feet per acre x 20 acres and
|
||
C = 22,112 square feet wetted by system.
|
||
|
||
If the desired application rate per treated acre is 2.4 qts of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, then
|
||
|
||
S = 22,112 x 2.4 and S = 1.2 qts. of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC should be injected into the system
|
||
43,560
|
||
|
||
Restrictions for Chemigation
|
||
1. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
2. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide applicat ion to a publ ic water system unless the
|
||
pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
|
||
3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision
|
||
of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need
|
||
arise.
|
||
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the
|
||
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-
|
||
operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
|
||
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
|
||
manually shut down.
|
||
5. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-
|
||
pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from
|
||
backflow. In addition, systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump
|
||
(e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides
|
||
and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
|
||
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when
|
||
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
7. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump motor
|
||
when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems
|
||
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if
|
||
such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals
|
||
daily at least 60 days out of the year.
|
||
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone
|
||
backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of
|
||
pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be
|
||
discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air
|
||
gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice
|
||
the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
|
||
3. All chemigation systems connected to public water systems must also follow restrictions listed in the
|
||
preceding section titled Restrictions for Chemigation.
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
|
||
|
||
Applications via Flooded Basin Irrigation Systems
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied via flooded basin irrigation systems, but only to the following crops:
|
||
bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees, nonbearing vineyards, and alfalfa.
|
||
|
||
Use Instructions and Restrictions for Flooded Basin Irrigation
|
||
1. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied through flooded basin irrigation systems designed to uniformly
|
||
distribute irrigation water along the soil surface. Solid set systems utilizing a tall riser for overhead application
|
||
are excluded.
|
||
2. Follow all label directions and restrictions for Pendimethalin 3.3 EC regarding rates per acre, timing of
|
||
application and crop-specific restrictions and precautions .
|
||
3. DO NOT connect an irrigation syste m used for pesticide appl ication to a public water system unless the
|
||
pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
|
||
4. A person knowledgeable of the chem igation system and responsible for it s operation, or under the supervision
|
||
of the responsible person, shall s hut the syst em down and make necessary adjustments should the need
|
||
arise.
|
||
5. Mix Pendimethalin 3.3 EC with water at a 1:1 ratio in the injection nurse tank to assist with product flowability.
|
||
Maintain agitation in the injection nurse tank to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during application. When
|
||
application is complete, flush the system with water.
|
||
6. Tail water (runoff water) from flood irrigation that contains Pendimethalin 3.3 EC must be re-circulated and
|
||
contained in the field of initial application or used only on adjacent tree or vine crops or alfalfa for which
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is registered for this type of application,
|
||
7. Systems using a gravity-flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide in the water at the head of
|
||
the field downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity, such as a drop structure or weir box, to decrease potential for
|
||
water source contamination from backflow water.
|
||
8. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements:
|
||
x The system must co ntain a functional check valve, vacuum-relief va lve, and low-pressure drain
|
||
appropriately located in the irrigation pipe to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
|
||
x The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick closing check valve to prevent
|
||
flow of fluids back towards the injection pump.
|
||
x The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve
|
||
located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from
|
||
being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
|
||
down.
|
||
x The system must contain a functional interlocking control to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump stops.
|
||
x The irrigation pipe or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the pump
|
||
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
x Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm
|
||
pump), of effective design and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of
|
||
being fitted with a system interlock,
|
||
x Any alternative to the above safety devices must conform to the list of EPA-approved alternative devices.
|
||
9. Be sure to regularly measure the flow in the field to ensure the correct amount of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is
|
||
being metered into the irrigation water and also regularly monitor to ensure that treated water is being
|
||
uniformly distributed across the field. Flow rates through metering devices and distribution of Pendimethalin
|
||
3.3 EC can vary with water temperature and speed of water flow across the field.
|
||
10. Uniform distribution of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC-treated irrigation water is the sole responsibility of the applicator
|
||
and is required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop.
|
||
11. If you have questions about calibration, contact state extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers
|
||
or other experts.
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift Management
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment
|
||
and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and grower are responsible for
|
||
considering all these factors when making decisions. It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift
|
||
onto nontarget areas.
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
|
||
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Spray Drift Advisories
|
||
section presented below.
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift 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 sufficient
|
||
coverage and control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzle- Follow 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
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10
|
||
mph, the boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 75% of the rotor diameter
|
||
for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 90%
|
||
of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Nozzles must be oriented, so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x Applicators must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet
|
||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572/3) for all applications.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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 condition)
|
||
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Additives
|
||
Spray adjuvants have little or no influence on performance of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC when applications are made
|
||
prior to weed emergence. However, several tank mixes with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC require adjuvants to improve
|
||
burndown of emerged weeds. Therefore, surfactants, liquid fertilizer (28%, 30%, or 32% UAN (urea ammonium
|
||
nitrate) or ammonium sulfate), or crop oil concentrate may be used with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC tank mixes applied
|
||
preplant, preemergence, or early postemergence to the crop. Follow the adjuvant directions on the tank mix
|
||
partner's label.
|
||
|
||
When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such as a drift control agent) is to be used with this product, the
|
||
use of a Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) certified adjuvant is recommended. The
|
||
recommended adjuvants must contain ingredients accepted by the EPA.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixing Information
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied in a tank mix or a sequential application with other herbicides registered for
|
||
use in a given crop. Refer to the companion label for weeds controlled in addition to Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone.
|
||
When using tank mixtures or sequential applications with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC , always read the companion
|
||
product label(s) to determine the specific use rates by soil types, weed species, and weed or crop growth stage. In
|
||
addition, follow all precautions and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that may apply to specific
|
||
products. Always follow the most restrictive label.
|
||

|
||
section):
|
||
(a) Wettable Powder (WP) formulations - Make a slurry of the WP in water (1:2 ratio). Add the slurry
|
||
slowly into the partially filled tank while agitating.
|
||
(b) Dry Flowable (DF)/Water Dispersible Granule (WDG) formulations - Add the granules to the partially
|
||
filled tank while agitating. Make a slurry of the granules in water before adding to liquid fertilizer.
|
||
(c) Flowable (F) formulations - Add the F formulation to the partially filled tank while agitating.
|
||
(d) Water Soluble Concentrate (WSC) formulations - Add the WSC formulation to the partially filled tank
|
||
while agitating.
|
||
(e) Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations - Add the EC formulation to the partially filled tank while
|
||
agitating.
|
||
After complete mixing, add Pendimethalin 3.3 EC to the tank.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: For tank mixes including Butyrac, Gramoxone Extra or glyphosate: After complete mixing of
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, continue filling the sprayer with water and add Butyrac or Gramoxone Extra or
|

||
Precautions for All Use Sites
|
||
x Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will not control established weeds. Destroy emerged weeds prior to application.
|
||
x Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is most effective in controlling weeds mechanically incorporated or when incorporated
|
||
into the weed germination zone by adequate rainfall or overhead irrigation after application.
|
||
x When using tank mixtures with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, always read the companion product label(s) to
|
||
determine the specific use rates by soil types, weed species, and weed or crop growth stage. In addition,
|
||
follow all precautions and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that may apply to specific
|
||
products. Always follow the most restrictive label.
|
||
|
||
x In the event of a crop loss due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons, any crop registered for a
|
||
preplant incorporated application of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC can be replanted without adverse effects the same
|
||
year (see the Crop-specific Information section of this label for exceptions). If replanting is necessary, DO
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
|
||
NOT work the soil deeper than the treated zone.
|
||
x Refer to the Crop-specific Information section of this label for crop-specific preharvest intervals and feeding
|
||
and grazing restrictions.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions for All Use Sites
|
||
x DO NOT exceed the maximum labeled rate for any soil type.
|
||
|
||
Crop Rotation Restrictions
|
||
x Use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of
|
||
rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors, such as arid
|
||
conditions, make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore,
|
||
rotational crop injury is always possible. Soil characteristics and environmental conditions which may contribute to
|
||
crop stress that may be accentuated by the use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC include: coarse soils, compaction, high
|
||
salinity, eroded knolls/hilltops, cold and/or wet soils, drought, and heavy rainfall soon after application.
|
||
x When Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is used in tank mix or sequential combinations, refer to labels of other herbicides for
|
||
additional rotational crop restrictions.
|
||
x Restrictions for rotational cropping after the use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC are dependent on the application use
|
||
rate of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC in the primary crop. The user must thoroughly read the following restrictions to
|
||
determine the rotational crops for their specific situation, according to application use rate.
|
||

Crop-specific Information
|
||
Crop Injury Disclaimer. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC use may result in crop injury, loss or damage to certain crops under
|
||
a number of conditions, including but not limited to agronomic, cultural, mechanical, and environmental. Numerous
|
||
risks of loss or damage to certain crops may be associated with the use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC even when
|
||
directions for use are followed completely. The user or grower should take all such risks into consideration before
|
||
deciding to apply the product. Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends testing on a small portion of the target crop
|
||
to determine if damage is likely to occur. Each grower who is considering the product for such use should
|
||
test Pendimethalin 3.3 EC in order to determine its suitability. A grower should use Pendimethalin 3.3 EC
|
||
only to the extent that in his sole opinion the benefit of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC use outweighs the potential
|
||
injury to the grower's crop.
|
||
|
||
16
|
||
|
||
In addition, many factors can affect crop growth and/or yield, including but not limited to, insects, diseases, weed
|
||
competition, poor seed quality, improper planting depth, mechanical cultivation, poor weather (such as freezing
|
||
or excessive wind, rain, heat, or cold), lack of or excessive moisture, crusting, fertility, or hardpans. Risk of loss
|
||
or damage to crops may be associated with the use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC and contribute to poor stands due
|
||
to failure of crop to emerge, swelling of roots or other below-ground plant parts, less vigorous plant growth and
|
||
development, and reduction in yield potential.
|
||
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may also cause injury to sensitive rotational crops.
|
||
ALFALFA
|
||
(Grown for Forage, Hay, or Seed)
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied by ground, air, chemigation, flooded basin irrigation systems, or on dry bulk
|
||
fertilizer.
|
||
|
||
Use Methods, Timings and Rates
|
||
Established Alfalfa for Forage/Hay (defined as alfalfa planted in the fall or spring that has gone through a first
|
||
cutting/mowing):
|
||
Uniformly apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC at a broadcast rate of 1.2 to 4.8 quarts per acre prior to weed emergence.
|
||
Applications can be made in the fall after the last mowing/cutting, during winter dormancy, in the spring, or
|
||
between cuttings.
|
||
|
||
Make applications prior to the alfalfa reaching 6 inches in regrowth.
|
||
Established Alfalfa Grown for Seed Production (defined as alfalfa planted in the fall or spring that has gone
|
||
through a summer season of cutting/mowing):
|
||
|
||
Uniformly apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC at a broadcast rate of 1.2 to 4.8 quarts per acre prior to weed emergence
|
||
in one of the following ways:
|
||
1. Apply to dormant established alfalfa.
|
||
2. Apply before alfalfa exceeds 10 inches in height after first mowing/beating.
|
||
3. Once the alfalfa reaches 10 inches in height or if the alfalfa has been mowed/beaten two or more times,
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC must be applied with drop nozzles directing the spray so that there is little to no
|
||
contact with the foliage.
|
||
|
||
Seedling Alfalfa (defined as alfalfa planted in the fall or spring which has NOT gone through a cutting/mowing):
|
||
Uniformly apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC at a broadcast rate of 1.2 to 2.4 pints per acre prior to weed emergence.
|
||
Applications can be made once the seedling alfalfa has reached the 2nd trifoliate stage of growth. Make
|
||
applications prior to the alfalfa reaching 6 inches in growth.
|
||
|
||
Alfalfa Stand Establishment : Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC at a broadcast rate of 1.2 to 1.8 pints per acre as a
|
||
preplant incorporated or preemergence treatment in direct-seeded alfalfa. Some crop stand reduction and stunting
|
||
may occur with this use of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC; however, reduced weed competition will allow establishment of
|
||
a quality stand. Use the lower rates on coarse-texture soil or in lower rainfall areas (receiving less than 20 inches
|
||
of rainfall and irrigation a year).
|
||
|
||
- Preplant incorporated: Uniformly incorporate Pendimethalin 3.3 EC into the top 2 to 3 inches of the final
|
||
seedbed prior to planting.

Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied in conventional, minimum, or no-till as a preemergence, postemergence, or
|
||
postemergence incorporated (CULTI-SPRAY) application in field corn.
|
||
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied in conventional tillage as a preemergence or postemergence application in
|
||
sweet corn, seed corn, or popcorn.
|
||
|
||
Regardless of tillage system, plant corn at least 1-1/2 inches deep and completely cover with soil.
|
||
In conventional tillage systems, plant into a seedbed that is firm and free of clods and trash. Use only where
|
||
adequate tillage is practiced to provide good soil coverage of the corn seed.
|
||
In no-till systems, utilize a no-till planter that is capable of planting through crop residue. The use of no-till planters
|
||
under conditions that do not allow good soil coverage of the corn seed can result in reduced crop stand or injury if
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC contacts the germinating corn seed. Check equipment to ensure good seed coverage.
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC or Pendimethalin 3.3 EC tank mix combination treatments are most effective in controlling
|
||
weeds when adequate rainfall or overhead irrigation is received within 7 days after application. If cultivation is
|
||
necessary because of soil crusting or weed germination, use shallow tillage and make certain corn seeds are
|
||
below the tilled area.
|
||
|
||
Additional Weeds Controlled: In addition to the weeds listed in Table 1, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will control the
|
||
following weeds in corn with CULTI-SPRAY application: wild proso millet and shattercane.
|
||
|
||
Use Methods and Timings
|
||
Preemergence - Apply after planting but before weeds and crop emerge.
|
||
|
||
Postemergence - Apply postemergence until field corn is 30 inches tall (20 to 24 inches tall for pop, seed, and
|
||
sweet corn) or in the V8 growth stage, whichever is more restrictive. If the corn canopy prevents applications from
|
||
reaching the soil, use drop nozzles and apply as a directed spray.
|
||
|
||
CULTI-SPRAY - Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone or Pendimethalin 3.3 EC plus atrazine when field corn is at
|
||
least 4 inches tall until last cultivation (layby). Pendimethalin 3.3 EC plus atrazine must be applied before the field
|
||
com reaches 12 inches in height.
|
||
DO NOT exceed 1.2 lbs ai per acre of atrazine, as specified on the atrazine label. Under situations of low
|
||
rainfall or soil moisture when deep germinating weeds such as shattercane or field sandbur are anticipated,
|
||
mechanical incorporation will provide best results. If cultivation is needed after application and incorporation of
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, ensure that the cut depth is no deeper than the depth of cut used to incorporate.
|
||
|
||
Chemigation Applications
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems. Follow all use directions and

MINT
|
||
(Peppermint and Spearmint)
|
||
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied by ground or air.
|
||
|
||
Use Methods and Timings
|
||
Make a single broadcast preemergence application of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC to mint at 1.8 pints to 4.8 pints per
|
||
acre, depending on soil texture (see chart below), to dormant established mint before weed emergence. After a
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC application, some temporary crop injury may be observed early in the growing season as
|
||
mint breaks dormancy and begins to grow.
|
||
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will not cause crop injury when applied according to the label under normal growing
|
||
conditions. Non-uniform application may result in injury to crops, poor stands, or soil residues; conversely, uneven
|
||
application may reduce weed control. Diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, deep planting, low or high pH,
|
||
salinity, or drought may weaken seedlings and plants and make them more susceptible to herbicidal damage.

|
||
RICE
|
||
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied as a pre-flood, preemergence application in dry-seeded or drilled rice or as
|
||
a delayed preemergence application in drilled dry-seeded rice or as an early postemergence application in dry-
|
||
seeded rice. Treatments may be applied to conventional, reduced or minimum tillage, and no-till (stale seedbed)
|
||
rice. Ensure that the seedbed is firm and free of clods and prepared to allow for good seed coverage. The use of a
|
||
planter under conditions that do not allow good soil coverage of the rice seed can result in reduced stand or
|
||
stunting if Pendimethalin 3.3 EC contacts germinating rice seed.
|
||
|
||
Additional Weeds Controlled: In addition to the weeds listed in Table 1, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will control the
|
||
following weeds in rice: junglerice and sprangletop.
|
||
|
||
Use Methods and Timings
|
||
Pre-Flood Preemergence - Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied for preemergence weed control as a pre-
|
||
flood, pre-rice germination herbicide in lightly incorporated dry-seeded rice or on drilled rice.
|
||
|
||
SEEDING DIRECTIONS: For all rice seed incorporation methods, seed must be incorporated shallowly or no more
|
||
than 1 inch below soil surface. Seed left on the surface may be injured or killed by Pendimethalin 3.3 EC .
|
||
However, it is recommended that 15 to 20% of seed total be visible at surface in order to ensure that seed
|
||
is not covered too deeply. Seeding rates should be increased by a percentage corresponding to the amount of
|
||
seed left on the surface. Adjust seeding ratios to meet individual practices, incorporation depths and field
|
||
conditions.
|
||
|
||
EXAMPLE: Target seeding rate is 150 lbs per acre. If approximately 15% of seed is left on soil surface
|
||
seeding rate should then be increased 22.5 lbs per acre to 177.5 lbs per acre
|
||
|
||
Seeding depths can be affected by soil textures, tillage practices, irrigation, and methods of mechanical incorpora-
|
||
tion. Seed that is incorporated either mechanically and/or by irrigation flush must remain at a shallow depth of no
|
||
more than 1 inch below the soil surface. Fields where rice seed is incorporated too deeply will experience reduced
|
||
|
||
33
|
||
|
||
crop stands.
|
||
|
||
Following are examples of typical implements that can be used for rice seed incorporation: rice roller/ridger, ring
|
||
roller, light harrow, or flat roller. Regardless of the implement or method of incorporation used, seed incorporation
|
||
must be less than 1 inch below the soil surface.
|
||
|
||
After rice seed is incorporated, uniformly apply to soil surface as broadcast spray the tank mixture of
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC at 2.4 pints per acre plus FirstChoice
|
||
® SafeGuard spray adjuvant at 1.6 pints per acre. Use
|
||
of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC without tank mixing with FirstChoice SafeGuard spray adjuvant can result in crop injury
|
||
and loss of rice stand.
|
||
|
||
After herbicide application, flush field with irrigation water with method best employed to facilitate a thorough
|
||
soaking of field and a rapid drain. Tail water (runoff water) from flood irrigation that contains Pendimethalin 3.3 EC
|
||
must be re-circulated and contained in the field of initial application or used only on adjacent crops for which
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC (or other pendimethalin-based products) is registered for use.
|
||
|
||
Rice seed covered with water for longer than 8 days may result in reduced stand and weed control.
|
||
|
||
Delayed Preemergence - Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone or with tank mix partner for delayed preemergence
|
||
weed control in grain-drilled, dry-seeded rice. Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone or in tank mixture to levees after
|
||
the levees are pulled and planted. Exposed seeds that come in contact with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be
|
||
injured. Apply only when growing conditions favor vigorous rice growth. Ensure that the seedbed has adequate
|
||
moisture for seed germination. Not for use in California.
|
||
|
||
Uniformly apply the specified rate of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC after rice planting and before rice and weed
|
||
emergence (spiking). Apply after the rice seed has absorbed water and germinated and after the soil has been
|
||
previously sealed over the seed by at least 1 inch of rainfall or by irrigation (flush). If the soil has not been sealed
|
||
by rain or flush, apply when 80 percent of germinated seeds have a primary root (radicle) or shoot at least 1/2-inch
|
||
long. If there is insufficient moisture, flushing is important before Pendimethalin 3.3 EC application to supply
|
||
moisture for root (radicle) initiation and for vigorous rice and weed growth.
|
||
If applied to soil prior to these conditions or to cracked soil, stand reduction or stunting of rice may occur. Under
|
||
some conditions, use of gibberellic acid-treated seed, heavy rainfall after application, or flushing after application
|
||
may result in herbicide injury to rice. Rice can overcome moderate injury with appropriate cultural practices.
|
||
Due to the residual activity of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, this treatment may be applied if rice is too small to maintain
|
||
a flood on the field for weed control. However, proper water management practices must be followed for normal
|
||
rice growth and activity of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC.
|
||
Early Postemergence - Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC as a tank mix partner. Base applications on weed and crop
|
||
size guidelines of the tank mix partner. DO NOT apply to fields with standing water. If necessary, fields may be
|
||
flushed prior to treatment to produce vigorous rice and weed growth. Since soil and weeds must be completely
|
||
exposed to spray coverage, ensure that there is no flood water on the field at the time of application. Cloddy soil,
|
||
standing water (puddles) at the time of application, or cra cks in the soil that form a fter application may result in
|
||
reduced weed control. Because of residual activity of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC, this treatment may be applied if rice
|
||
is too small to maintain a flood on the field for weed control. However, proper water management practices must
|
||
be followed for normal rice growth and activity of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC.
|
||
Since the residual activity of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is activated by moisture, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC is most
|
||
effective in controlling emerging weeds when adequate rainfall or irrigation (flush) is received within 7 days after
|
||
application.

|
||
crops that are not registered for use with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC.
|
||
x In case of a crop failure due to weather conditions or disease following treatment with Pendimethalin 3.3 EC
|
||
alone or in a tank mixture, only drilled dry-seeded rice may be immediately replanted; however, the grower
|
||
assumes all risks and consequences associated with replanting of rice because there is the potential for stand
|
||
reduction or stunting. A 10 percent increase in seeding rate is recommended. Replant seed below the
|
||
herbicide layer because reduced stand or stunting may occur if Pendimethalin 3.3 EC contacts germinating
|
||
rice seed. DO NOT replant with gibberellic acid-treated seed. DO NOT reapply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC alone or
|
||
in a tank mixture.
|
||
x DO NOT apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC and then flush for germination.
|
||
x DO NOT apply to stressed rice. Stress factors include cold or hot temperature extremes, excessive moisture or
|
||
drought, problem soils, poor field drainage, or deep water after application.
|
||
x DO NOT apply early preemergence nor preplant incorporated as severe rice injury is possible.
|
||
x DO NOT feed forage or graze livestock in treated fields.
|
||

Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied by ground or air.
|
||
Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be applied preemergence, delayed pre-emergence, or postemergence to wheat for
|
||
weed control in fall, winter or spring seeded wheat.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: If loss of grain crop occurs, any crop registered for Pendimethalin 3.3 EC preplant incorporated use may
|
||
be replanted the same year without adverse effect.
|
||
|
||
Use Methods and Timings
|
||
Apply to a seedbed that is firm and free of clods and trash. The seedbed MUST be prepared to ensure good seed
|
||
coverage by the soil and seed-to-soil contact. Use high quality seed. When applications of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC
|
||
are intended to be made preemergence or delayed preemergence, plant seed at least 1 inch deep to avoid
|
||
possible crop injury, but not too deep for proper germination. When applications of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC are
|
||
intended to be made postemergence, plant seed at least 0.5 inch to 1.0 inch to avoid crop injury.
|
||
Uniformly apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC as a preemergence, or delayed preemergence (after wheat seed has
|
||
germinated), or postemergence treatment from the 1st-leaf stage of wheat until before the flag leaf is
|
||
visible/emerged for weed control. Apply Pendimethalin 3.3 EC prior to weed emergence. EMERGED WEEDS
|
||
WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED BY THIS TREATMENT. Adequate rainfall or irrigation within 7 days after application
|
||
will provide the most consistent weed control.
|
||
For control of established weeds, Pendimethalin 3.3 EC may be tank mixed with any postemergence herbicide
|
||
registered for use in wheat. Pendimethalin 3.3 EC will provide residual control of the weeds listed in this label.
|
||
Always perform a mixing test to check the compatibility of Pendimethalin 3.3 EC with all potential tank mix
|
||
partners.
