5,0 GENERAL INFORMATION
(HOW THIS PRODUCT WORKS)
Product Description: This product is a postemergent, systemic herbicide with no soil residual activity. It
is generally non-selective and gives broad spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody
brush and trees. It is formulated as a water-soluble liquid. It may be applied through most standard
industrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water or other carriers according to
label instructions.
Do not add surfactants, additives containing surfactants, buffering agents or pH adjusting agents to the
spray solution when MON 77859 is the only pesticide used. Ammonium sulfate, drift control additives, or
dyes and colorants may be used. See the "MIXING" section of this label for instructions.
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the
root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds
m.y not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity
of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and
yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of
underground plant parts.
MON 77859 Revised Page 7 of 65 8-Feb-2000

--------"--
Stage or Weeds: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial
weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity, Refer to the annual.
perennial. woody brush and trees rate tables for recommendations for specific weeds.
Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the recommended range when weed growth is
heavy or dense or weeds are growing in an undisturbed (noncultivated) area.
Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress. disease or insect damage. as
reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also OCcur when treating weeds heavily covered with
dust.
Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial
weeds that have been mowed. grazed. or cut. and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended
stage for treatment.
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat
application may be required for adequate control.
Spray Coverage: For best results. spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed
foliage to the point of runoff.
Mode or Action: The active ingredient in this product inhibits an enzyme fouod only in plants and
microorganisms that is essential to formation of specific amino acids.
No Soil Activity: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product.
Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from
unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the herbicide and will
continue to grow.
When this product comes in contact with soil. it is bound to soil particles. Uoder recommended use
situations. once this product is bound to soil particles. it is not available for plant uptake and will not harm
off-site vegetation where roots grow into the treated area or if the soil is transported off-site. The strong
affinity of this product to soil particles prevents this product from leaching out of the soil profile and
) entering ground water
Biological Degradation: Degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil
microbes.
Volatility: MON 77859 is non-volatile. Therefore. it cannot move as a vapor after application to affect
nearby vegetation.
Toxicology Testing: Exposure to workers and other applicators generally is expected to pose minimal
risks based on results of short-term toxicity studies. Glyphosate has been thoroughly tested and determined
not to cause cancer or other adverse long-term health effects.
Tank Mixing: This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequem residual weed control.
follow a label-approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all
other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. Use according to the most restrictive label
directions for each product in the mixture.
Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures
of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly recommended in this labeling.

FOR AERIAL APPLICATION IN CALIFORNIA OR ARKANSAS. REFER TO THE FEDERAL
SUPPLEMENTAL LABEL FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS IN THAT STATE FOR SPECIFIC
INSTRUCTIONS. RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS. This product plus Banvel tank mixtures
may not be applied by air in California.
AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from
aerial applications to agricultural field crops.
I. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 14 the length of the wingspan or
rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more
than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations. they should be observed.
Importance of droplet size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential. but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly. or under
unfavorable environmental conditions (see the Wind, Temperature and Humidity. and Temperature
Inversion sections of this label).
Controlling droplet size
Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with the higher
rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet
size and does not improve canopy protection. When higber flow rates are needed. use higher flow rate
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards. parallel to the airstream.
will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce
droplet size and increase drift potential.
Nozzle type: Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types.
narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles
oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
Boom Length: For some use patterns. reducing the effective boom length to less than 14 of the wingspan or
rotor length may fUMher reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the
largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height
that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind. the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore. on the up
and downwind edges of the field. the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the
MON 77859 Revised Page 12 of 65 8-Feb-2000

path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase. with increasing drift potential
(higher wind. smaller droplets. etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However. many factors. including droplet size
and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2
mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity. set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature inversions
) Applications should not OCCur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature
inversions restrict vertical air mixing. which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and
often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however. if fog is not
presen~ inversions can also be identified 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.
Sensitive areas
The product should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential
areas. bodies of water. known habitat for threatened or endangered species. non-target crops) is minimal
(e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
) A void direct application to any body of water.
Ensure uniform application--To avoid streaked. uneven or overlapped application. use appropriate marking
devices.
Thoroughly wash aircraft. especially landing gear. after each day of spraying to remove residues of this
product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO
UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF
THE PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating
(paint). which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-384 I 3. may prevent corrosion.
7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment
Use the recommended rates of this product in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless
otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases. spray volume should be increased within the recom·
mended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles to avoid spraying a fine
mist. For best results with ground application equipment. use flat fan nozzles. Check for even distribution of
spray droplets.

)
7.3 Hand-Held and High-Volume Equipment
Apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray
coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Use coarse sprays only.
For control of weeds listed in the annual weeds rate tables, apply a 0.5 percent solution of this product to
weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner length. Apply prior to seedhead formation in grass or bud
formation in broad leaf weeds. For annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or unless otherwise specified, use a I
percent solution.
For best results, use a 2 percent solution on harder-to-control perennials, such as bermudagrass, dock, field
bindweed, hemp dogbane, milkweed and Canada thistle.
When using application methods which result in less than complete coverage, use a 5 percent solution for
annual and perennial weeds and a 5 to 7 percent solution for woody brush and trees.
7.4 Selective Equipment
lbis product may be applied through recirculating spray systems, shielded applicators, hooded sprayers,
wiper applicators or sponge bars after dilution and thorough mixing with water to listed weeds growing in
any noncrop site specified on this label and only when specifically recommended in cropping systems.
A recirculating spray system directs the spray solution onto weeds growing above desirable vegetation,
while spray solution not intercepted by weeds is collected and returned to the spray tank for reuse.
A shielded or hooded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding desirable
vegetation from the herbicide.
A wiper or sponge applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed with an
absorbent material containing the herbicide solution.
A VOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators
used above desirable vegetation should be adjusted so that the lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is
at least 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splauer of the herbicide solution
settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction.
Applications made above the crops should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 6 inches above the
desirable vegetation. Beuer results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide
solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense
clumps, severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In
these instances, repeat treatment may be necessary.
Shielded and hooded applicators
Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep shields on these sprayers adjusted
to protect desirable vegetation. EXTREME CARE MUST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT OF
HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
A hooded sprayer is a type of shielded applicator. The spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and
all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop from the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and
MON 77859 Revised Page 14 of 65 8-Feb-2000

)
)
operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. If the hoods are
raised, spray panicles may escape and come into contact with the crop, causing damage or destruction of
the crop. Minimize the potential for spray particles to escape from under the hood by operating the sprayer
at appropriate ground speeds, nozzle pressures and wind speeds. The spray hoods must be operated on the
ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray
hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground
and spray particles may escape from the hood.
Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting the
crop. CONTACT OF THIS PRODUCT IN ANY MANNER TO ANY VEGETATION TO WHICH
TREATMENT IS NOT INTENDED MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. Such damage shall be the sole
responsibility of the applicator.
Wiper applicators and sponge bars
Wiper applicators are devices that physically wipe appropriate amounts of this product directly onto the
weed.
Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting
desirable vegetation. Operate this equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 mph. Performance may be
improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to ensure adequate wiper saturation. Better
results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions.
Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator to ensure adequate contact
with weeds. Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may
migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of a wiper applicator.
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a l-day period, as reduced activity may result from use
of leftover solutions. Clean wiper parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with
water.
Do not add surfactant to the herbicide solution.
For Rope or Sponge Wick Applicators--Mix I gallon of this product in 2 gallons of water to prepare a 33
percent solution. Apply this solution to weeds listed in this section.

10,4 Habitat Management
MON 77859 Revised Page 45 of 65 8-Feb-2000

TYPES OF USES: Habitat restoration and maintenance, wildlife food plots
Habitat restoration and maintenaDce
USE INSTRUCfIONS: This product may be used to control exotic and other undesirable vegetation in
habitat management areas. Applications can be made to allow recovery of native plant species, prior to
planting desirable native species, and for similar broadspectrum vegetation control requirements in habitat
management areas. Spot treatments can be made to selectively remove unwanted plants for habitat
maintenance and enhancement. The tank mixtures listed in this section of the label may be used for habitat
restoration and maintenance.
Wildlife food plots
USE INSTRUcnONS: This product may be used as a site preparation treatment to control annual and
perennial weeds prior to planting wildlife food plots. Any wildlife food species may be planted after
applying this product, or native species may be allowed to repopulate the area. If tillage is needed to
prepare a seedbed, wait 7 days after application before tillage.
10.5 Rangelands
TYPES OF APPLICATIONS: Postemergence
USE INSTRUCfIONS: This product will control or suppress many annual weeds growing in perennial
cool and warm season grass rangelands.
Preventing viable seed production is key to the successful control and invasion of annual grassy weeds in
rangelands. Follow·up applications in sequential years should eliminate most of the viable seeds.
Grazing of treated areas should be delayed to encourage growth of desirable perennials. Allowing
desirable perennials to flower and reseed in the treated area will encourage successful transition.
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Do not use ammonium sulfate when spraying rangeland grasses with
this product. Do not make more than one application per year.
Postemergence
Apply 8-11 fluid ounces of this product to control or suppress many weeds, including downy brome, cheat
grass, cereal rye and jointed goatgrass in rangelands. Apply when most mature brome plants are in early
flower and before the plants including seed heads tum color. Allowing for secondary weed flushes to occur
in the spring following rain events further depletes the seed reserve, and encourages perennial grass
conversion on weedy sites. Fall applications are possible, and recommended where spring moisture is
usually limited and fall germination allows for good weed growth.
Apply II fluid ounces when the medusahead has reached the 3 leaf stage. Delaying applications beyond this
stage will result in reduced or unacceptable control. Fire may be useful in eliminating the thatch layer
produced by slow decaying culms prior to application. Allow new growth to occur before spraying after a
bum. Repeat applications in subsequent years may be necessary to eliminate the seedbank before
reestablishing desirable perennial grasses in medusahead dominated rangelands.
Slight discoloration of the desirable grasses may occur, but they will regreen and regrow under moist soil
conditions as effects of this product wear off.

DIREcnONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this
product in any manner inconsistent with its
labe6ng.
This label must be in the possession of the
user at the time of application.
AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH
FOUAGE, GREEN STEMS, EXPOSED

USE DlRECnONS
AVOID DRIFT. 00 NOT APPLY INTO
STILL AIR WHERE THERE IS A
TEMPERATURE INVERSION LAYER LOW
ENOUGH FOR FINE SPRAY PARTICLES
TO BECOME SUSPENDED AND MOVE
OUTSIDE THE TARGET AREA WHEN THE
INVERSION LAYER MOVES. 00 NOT
APPLY WHEN WINDS ARE GUSTY OR
UNDER ANY OTHER CONDITION THAT
FAVORS DRIFT. DRIFT IS LIKELY TO
CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY VEGETATION
CONTACTED. TO PREVENT INJURY TO
ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETATION,
APPROPRIATE BUFFER ZONES MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
Use the recommended rate of this product in
3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
Use sufficient carrier volume and appropriate
equipment set-up to lonn droplets large
enough to avoid drift potential. Coarse
droplets in the 300 to 500 (VMD) micron
range are recommended.
AppflCaOOns should typically be made with
the nozzle release point at 8 to 15 feet above
the top of the target plants unless a greater
height is required for aircraft safety.
The distance 01 the outennost noules on the
boom must not exceed 75% of the length of
the wingspan or rotor. In many cases,
reducing this distance to 65% of the length of
the wingspan or rotor will improve drift
control without affecting the swath width.
Noules must always dIscharge backward
parallel with the air stream and never dis
charge downwards more than 45 degrees on
fIXed wing aircraft or forward of the prevailing
air flow on rotary winged aircraft. Avoid the
use of nozzles with wide angle discharge.
Do not apply this product when winds are in
excess 0110 miles per hour.
Do not apply when there is a loW-level
inversion where fine spray particles could be
suspended in stiB air and move outside the
target area when the inversion layer moves.
These conditions may occur when wind
speeds are less than 2 mph.
Use the following guidelines when applica
tions are made near crops or other desirable
vegetation:
1. Do not apply within 100 feet of any
desirable vegetation or crops.
2. If wind up to 5 miles per hour is blowing
toward desirable vegetation or crops, do not
apply within 500 feet upwind of the desirable
vegetation or crops.
3. Winds blowing from 5 to 10 miles per hour
toward desirable vegetation or crops will
likely require buffer zones in excess of 500
feet.
