Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use
detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials
that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. Do not reuse them.
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of
this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow', may result in ground water
contamination.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. /^ply this product only as directed on
the label.
Ground and Surface Water Protection
Point source contamination; To prevent point source contamination, do not mix, load this pesticide product within 50 feet of
welts (including abandoned wells and drainage welts), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or
impounded lakes and reservoirs. Do not apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. This setback does not apply to properly
capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas as
described below.

For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC
representatives at (901) 761-0050.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance­
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed
biotypes.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, this product is a Group 4 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may
contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 4 mode of action 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.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION INFORMATION
Filename: Helena Vision (5905-576) 062320 CLN 7
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.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % 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.
The applicator and the grower must be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction
Advisory.
3. Movement by water erosion of treated soil - Do not apply or incorporate this product through any type of
irrigation equipment nor by flood or furrow irrigation. Ensure treated areas have received at least 0.5 inch of
rainfall (or irrigation) before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of other fields.
2. Movement by surface runoff or through soil - Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff. Do not
apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for
groundwater contamination. Groundwater contamination may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse
and groundwater is near the surface. Do not apply to soils classified as Sand with less than 3% organic matter
and where groundwater depth is shallow. To minimize the possibility of ground water contamination, carefully
follow specified application rates as affected by soil type in the “USE INFORMATION"section of this label.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to
agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using
dry formulations.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE
GROWER.
GROUND AND SURFACE WATER PROTECTION
1. Point source contamination - To prevent point source contamination, do not mix or load this pesticide
product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or
intermittent streams and rivers and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. Do not apply pesticide product
within 50 feet of wells. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not
apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas as described below.
Mixing, loading, rinsing or washing operations performed within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be on or moved across
the pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity
must be maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and
have sufficient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment washwaters and
rainwater that may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering pesticide
shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding well-head
setbacks and operational containment.
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent; a) back siphoning into wells, b) spills or c) improper
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates. Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on
all mixing equipment.
INFORMATION ON 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 “Wind”, “Temperature
and Humidity”, and “Temperature Inversions”).
Filename: Helena Vision (5905-576) 062320 CLN
Do not use aerial equipment if spray particles can be carried by the wind into areas where sensitive crops or plants are
growing or when temperature inversions exist.
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 doud. 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 present, 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.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind
edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath
adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
JTROLLING DROPLET SIZE
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles v«th higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturers recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure
produces larger droplets. When higher 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 parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets
than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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 the
largest droplets and the lowest drift.

or areas including broadcast or spot treatment of roadsides and highways, utilities, railroad, and pipeline rights-of-way.
Noxious weeds must be recognized at the state level, but programs may be administered at state, aaunty, or other level,
VISION™ uses described in this section also pertain to small grains (forage sorghum, rye, sudangrass, or wtieat) grown for
pasture use only. Some perennial weeds may be controlled with lower rates of either VISION™ or VISION™ plus 2,4-D (refer
to Table 2).
Do not exceed 8 gallons of spray solution mix applied per acre, per year.

APPLICATIONS FOR CONTROL OF DORMANT MULTIFLORA ROSE;
VISION™ can be applied when plants are dormant as an undiluted spot treatment directly to the soil or as a Lo-Oil basal bark
treatment using an oil-water emulsion solution.
To prepare approximately 2 gallons of a Lo-Oil spray solution;
1. Combine 1.5 gallons of water, 1 ounce of emulsifier, 16 fluid ounces of VISION™, and 2.5 pints of No. 2 diesel fuel.
2. Adjust the amounts of materials used proportionately to the amount of final spray solution desired.
Lo-Oil basal bark treatments: For Lo-Oil basal bark treatments, apply VISION™ to the basal stem region from the ground
line to a height of 12-18". Spray until mnoff, ^wth special emphasis on covering the root crown. For best results, apply
VISION™ w'hen plants are dormant. Do not apply after bud break or when plants are showing signs of active growth. Do
not apply when snow or water prevents applying VISION™ to the ground line.

Filename: Helena Vision (5905-576) 062320 CLN
Additives: When tank mixing VISION™ with sulfonylurea herbicides , use 1-4 pints of an agriculturaity approved surfactant
(containing at least 80% active ingredient) per 100 gallons of spray or not more than 0.25-0,5% by volume. Use the highest
rate of surfactant when using the lower rate ranges of the tank mix or when treating more mature and difficult to control weeds
or dense vegetative growth.
For applications prior to weed emergence or when sulfonylurea-resistant weeds are present or suspected, tank mix a minimum
of 3 fluid ounces of VISION™ per treated acre with a non-sulfonylurea herbicide such as 2,4-D or MCPA, Tank mixing
VISION™ with these products will offer more consistent control of sulfonylurea-tolerant weeds.
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP) RESTRICTIONS:
Retreaiments may be made as needed; however, do not exceed a total of 64 fluid ounces (4 pints) of VISION™ per acre to
established grass stands under CRP, Do not make more than 2 applications per year. When tank mixing with products that
contain dicamba, do not exceed a combined total of 1,0 lb a,e-/acre/application.
Refer to the specific crop sections below for use rates. When treating difficult to control weeds such as kochla, wild
buckwheat, cow cockle, prostrate knotweed, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce or when dense vegetative growth occurs, use
the 4 fluid ounces of VISION™ per acre on barley, oats, triticale and wheat.
Do not tank mix VISION™ with 2,4-D in early season applications on spring-seeded barley.

Timings:
Apply VISION™ before, during, or after planting barley, oats, triticale and wheat. See specific barley, oats, triticale and wheat
crop uses below for maximum crop stage. For best performance, apply VISION™ when weeds are in the 2-3 leaf stage and
rosettes are less than 2“ across. Applying VISION™ to barley, oats, triticale and wheat during periods of rapid growth may
result In crop leaning. This condition is temporary and will not reduce crop yields. Applications to barley, oats, triticale and
wheat may be made with aerial applications with 1 gallon of water or more per acre. Where dense foliage is present, 2-3
gallons of water per acre should be used.
