Environmental Hazards
For Terrestrial Uses: 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 washwater or rinsate. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area.
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 treated site. Protect the
forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift
Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where permeable, particularly where the water
table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and 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 months after application. A level, well-
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water
features including as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of fomesafen from
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
forecasted to occur within 48 hours. For more information, see the United States Department of
Agriculture National Resource Conservation Services manual, “Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
HM-1151-A is a selective herbicide which may be applied pre plant surface, preemergence and/or
postemergence for control or partial control of broad leaf weeds, grasses and sedges in cotton, dry
beans, potatoes, snap beans and soybeans.
Preplant Surface and Preemergence Applications
Certain germinating broad leaf weeds, grasses and sedges can be controlled or partially controlled by soil
residual activity from either preplant surface or preemergence applications of HM-1151-A. Moisture is
necessary to activate HM-1151-A in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of
HM-1151-A may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received after a HM-1151-A
application, weed control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a % inch of water.
Postemergence Applications
HM-1151-A is generally most effective when used postemergence, working through contact action.
Therefore, emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Best broad-
spectrum postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when HM-1151-A is applied
early to actively growing weeds. This usually occurs within 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed
control tables for specific directions on weed growth stages and rates. Some bronzing, crinkling or
spotting at labeled crop leaves may occur following postemergence applications, but labeled crops soon
outgrow these effects and develop normally.
4
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
Soil Characteristics
Application of HM-1151-A to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher
rates than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Refer to the HM-1151-A Regional Use
Map, weed control tables, and specific crop use sections for specifications on use rates based on soil
texture.
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
Always apply HM-1151-A under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth.
Avoid applying HM-1151-A to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme
temperatures, excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced
weed control and/or increased crop injury may result.
Rainfastness
HM-1151-A requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied postemergence.
Cultivation
Cultivation prior to postemergence application is not directed. Cultivation may put weeds under stress,
reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying HM-1151-A may assist weed control.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, HM-1151 Herbicide is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may
contain or develop plants naturally resistant to HM-1151 Herbicide and other Group 14 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 HM-1151 Herbicide or other Group 14 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 di fferent 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 Scout before and 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 af ter 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 or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific
crops and weed biotypes.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC
representatives at 901-761-0050 or at www.helenaagri.com.
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your
Helena Agri-Enterprises representative or call 901-761-0050. If resistance is suspected, treat weed
escapes with an herbicide having a different mechanism of action and/or use non-chemical means to
remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible.
To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible
incorporate multiple weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological management
practices, and crop rotation.
Fields with difficult to control weeds should be rotated to crops that allow the use of herbicides with
alternative mechanisms of action or different management practices.
To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed
seeds at harvest and post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed seedbank.
Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of weed seed or vegetative propagules. Thoroughly clean
plant residues from equipment before leaving fields.
Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders.
Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The
weed-control program should consider all of the weeds present.
Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of
action.
Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.
Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a
foundation in a weed-control program. DO NOT use more than two applications of this or any other
herbicide with the same mechanism of action within a single growing season unless mixed with an
herbicide with another mechanism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control
weeds.
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-
chemical methods to remove escapes.

Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant
weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been
reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so
that there are multiple effective mechanisms of actions for each target weed.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Mandatory Spray Drift
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pi lot safety.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops an d target weeds, applicators are required to use a
Coarse or coarser droplet size in accordance with the most current version of the American Society of
Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size in
accordance with the most current version of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological
Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
• For aerial applications: Do not apply when wind sp eeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the
wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed
wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must
be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for
helicopters. Applicators must use ½ 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 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in
which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops an d target weeds, applicators are required to use a
Coarse or coarser droplet size in accordance with the most current version of the American Society of
Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572)..
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size in
accordance with the most current version of the American Society of Agricultural & Biological
Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
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
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
7
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
x Volume - Increasing the spray volu me 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 re commended for the nozzle to produce the target
spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is design ed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
x 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.
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.
Spray Additives
Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 may be used in spray
mixture.
For Postemergence Applications One of The Following May Be Added Except in Tank Mix With
Products Prohibiting Spray Additives:
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Use NIS containing at least 75% surface active agent at
0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1-2 qts. /100 gals.) of the finished spray volume.
8
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Use a nonphytotoxic COC containing 15-20% approved emulsifier, at 0.5-
1 % v/v (0.5-1 gal. /100 gals.) of the finished spray volume. COC can improve weed control but may
slightly increase crop sensitivity .
Other Adjuvants - Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the product meets the
following criteria:
1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
2. Is nonphytotoxic to the target crop.
3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
4. Is supported locally for use with HM-1151-A on the target crop through proven field trials and
through university and extension directions.
When an adjuvant or a specific adjuvant product (like a drift control agent) is to be used with this
product, use a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
Note: No adjuvants are needed for preplant surface or preemergence applications unless HM-1151-A is
being used in a burndown on emerged weeds.
Mixing Order:
1. Fill the spray tank with half the required amount of water and begin agitation.*
2. Add dry pesticide formulations.
3. Add HM-1151-A Herbicide.
4. Add liquid pesticide formulations.
5. Add spray adjuvant and fertilizer (if used).
6. Add the remaining water and maintain ag itation throughout the spray operation.
*Compatibility agent, 1 gallon/500 gallons of water or 0.2% v/v, may be added as needed.
Tank-Mix Compatibility Test
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for
the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements
of each product in the tank mixture.
A jar test is advised prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of HM-1151-A Herbicide with mixture
partners. Add proportion amounts of tank mixture components in a clear quart jar one at a time in the
specified mixing order. Gently shake or invert capped jar and let stand for 15-30 minutes. If the mixture
clumps, forms flakes, oily films or layers or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mixture
need not be used.
GROUND APPLICATION
Preplant Surface and Preemergence Application - Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Nozzle
selection must meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure specifications for preplant surface or
preemergence applications.
Postemergence Application - Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of
the target weed. A spray volume of 10-20 gallons per acre and 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip is advised. On
large weeds and/or dense foliage. Use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure coverage
of weed foliage.
The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective postemergence application of HM-1151-A.
9
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
BAND APPLICATIONS
Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed for band treatment by the following formulas:
Band width in inches X broadcast rate = Band herbicide rate
row width in inches per acre per acre
Band width in inches X broadcast volume = Band water volume
row width in inches per acre per acre
Note: Thorough weed coverage is important for postemergence band applications. Best coverage is
obtained with a minimum of two nozzles, one directed to each side of the planted row. Application with a
single nozzle directed over the top of the row is not advised for postemergence applications but is
suitable for preemergence applications. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band
applications. When making post emergence band applications and cultivating in the same operation,
position nozzles in advance of the cultivation device. This will reduce dust in the spray area. Dust can
intercept spray, reducing weed coverage resulting in less than adequate weed control.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A minimum of 5
gallons per acre of spray mixture need to be applied with a maximum of 40 PSI pressure. When foliage is
dense, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage.
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
HM-1151-A alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides on this label, which are registered for center
pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water preemergence (after planting but before weeds or
crop emerge) at rates specified on this label. HM-1151-A also may be applied postemergence to the crop
and preemergence to weeds in crops where postemergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow
all restrictions (height. timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply this product only through a center
pivot irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result
from nonuniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you must contact
State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 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 if the need arise.
Operating Instructions
x The 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.
x The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward 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 functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
x The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distributions
adversely affected.
x Systems must use a metering pump, like a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
pump or piston pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
x Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into
the center pivot system. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually
10
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
provide more accurate calibration of equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide
in suspension.
x Meter into irrigation wa ter during entire period of water application.
x Apply in ½ - 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (1/2 inch) on coarser soils and the
higher volume (1 inch) on fine-textured soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may reduce
weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil.
Precaution for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently
unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop
injury may result.
Posting of areas to be chemigated is required when 1) any part of a treated area is within 300 feet of
sensitive areas including residential areas, labor camps, businesses, day care centers, hospitals, in-
patient clinics, nursing homes or any public areas including schools, parks, playgrounds, or other public
facilities not including public roads, or 2) when the chemigated area is open to the public including golf
courses or retail greenhouses.
Posting must conform to the following requirements. Treated areas shall be posted with signs at all usual
points of entry and along likely routes of approach from the listed sensitive area. When there are no usual
points of entry, signs must be posted in the corners of the treated areas and in any other locations
affording maximum visibility to sensitive areas. The printed side of the sign must face away from the
treated area towards the sensitive area. The signs shall be printed in English. Signs must be posted prior
to application and must remain posted until foliage has dried and soil surface water has disappeared.
Signs may remain in place indefinitely as long as they are composed of materials to prevent deterioration
and maintain legibility for the duration of the posting period.
All words shall consist of letters at least 2 ½ inches tall, and all letters and the symbol shall be a color
which sharply contrasts with their immediate background. At the top of the sign shall be the words KEEP
OUT, followed by an octagonal stop sign symbol at least 8 inches in diameter containing the word STOP.
Below the symbol shall be the words PESTICIDES IN IRRIGATION WATER.
Posting required for chemigation does not replace other posting and reentry interval requirements for
farm worker safety.
Specific Instructions for 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, back-flow 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 need to 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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 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.
11
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
COTTON
Preemergence Application
Apply HM-1151-A preemergence at 0.70 - 1.05 pints (0.25 to 0.375 lb ai) per acre in cotton for control or
partial control of the weeds listed in Table 1. Apply as a preemergence treatment only to coarse textured
soils (sandy loam, loamy sand, sandy clay loam). DO NOT apply as a preemergence treatment to
medium or fine-textured soils as crop injury will likely occur. To broaden the weed control spectrum, HM-
1151-A may be tank mixed with other preemergence herbicides containing the active ingredients
including prometryn, fluometuron, diuron, norflurazon and pyrithiobac sodium. For control of emerged
weeds, HM-1151-A may be tank mixed with a burndown herbicide including paraquat or glyphosate
products labeled in cotton. In reduced tillage plantings, HM-1151-A can be applied up to 14 days prior to
planting or at planting with a burndown herbicide. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for use directions,
restrictions and limitations. The most restrictive product labeling applies.
Cotton plants are non-sensitive to preemergence applications of HM-1151-A when applied at specified
rates and to coarse textured soil types. Some crinkling or spotting of cotton foliage or stunting may occur,
especially if heavy rainfall occurs during or soon after cotton emergence, but cotton plants normally
outgrow these effects and develop normally.
Cotton foliage is sensitive to HM-1151-A. DO NOT apply HM-1151-A over the top of emerged cotton as
unacceptable cotton injury will occur.
Post-Directed Application
Apply HM-1151-A in emerged cotton as a post-directed treatment using precision post-directed, hooded
or shielded application equipment to provide complete coverage of emerged weeds. Apply HM-1151-A at
0.70 - 1.05 pints (0.25 to 0.375 lb ai) per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray solution per acre.
Applications may be made broadcast or banded. Post-directed applications of HM-1151-A will provide
contact control of labeled emerged weeds and residual preemergence control of labeled weeds (once
activated by rainfall or irrigation). See previous label sections for a list of weeds controlled, specified
application rates, weed growth stages, and application directions.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for
the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements
of each product in the tank mixture.
24
Filename: HM-1151-A Herbicide (5905-593) 061522 CLN
To broaden the weed control spectrum, post-directed applications of HM-1151-A may be tank mixed with
other labeled post-directed herbicides with actives including prometryn, DSMA, diuron, s-metolachlor,
trifloxysulfuron-methyl, MSMA.
When applied with hooded or shielded sprayers, HM-1151-A and HM-1151-A tank mixes may be applied
with burndown products with actives including paraquat and glyphosate labeled for in crop application in
cotton. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for use directions, restrictions and limitations. The most
restrictive product labeling applies.
Cotton foliage is not resistant to HM-1151-A applications. Avoid contact to cotton foliage as unacceptable
injury will occur. Application equipment need to be calibrated (spray pressure, nozzle type and
configuration, and orifice size) to avoid fine spray droplets contacting green cotton stems and foliage.
Post-Directed Application Timing in Cotton
HM-1151-A may be applied to cotton with at least 3 to 4 inches of brown bark stem as a post-directed
application. All post-directed applications must avoid spray contact with any green non-barked parts of
the cotton plant or foliage as unacceptable injury will occur. Follow the application timing direction below
for post-directed applications in cotton.
Shield and Hooded Applications
Make a precision post-directed HM-1151-A application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding
contact with the cotton stem or foliage when cotton has at least 3 to 4 inches of brown baked
stem to avoid cotton injury. Use only hooded or shielded spray equipment to apply HM-1151-A in
cotton with at least 3 to 4 inches of brown barked stem. Adjust nozzles to provide full coverage of
emerged target weeds.
Layby Applications
Make a post-directed HM-1151-A application to the base of the cotton plant avoiding contact with
any non-barked portion of the cotton plant or foliage. Use precision post-directed equipment or
hooded or shielded sprayers on cotton that has developed a minimum of 4 inches of brown bark
through layby. Application equipment need to be configured to provide full coverage of emerged
target weeds.
Product Use Restrictions - Cotton
DO NOT apply HM-1151-A later than 70 days before harvest.
DO NOT make more than one application of HM-1151-A per year.
DO NOT apply more than 1.05 pints (0.375 lb ai) per acre of HM-1151-A in any year. If two consecutive
year applications are made, allow a 2 year interval before another application.
DO NOT add a non-ionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate to HM-1151-A unless tank mixing with other
post-directed herbicides that require the addition of either.
DO NOT add liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) to HM-1151-A, or HM-1151-A tank mixes in cotton.

Special Use Directions for the Suppression of Woollyleaf Bursage (Lakeweed), Ambrosia grayi, in
Texas
Apply HM-1151-A to cultivated areas of cropland in the fall or spring as a spot treatment at a rate of 1.05
pints (0.375 lb ai) per acre and incorporate to a depth of 2-3 inches for suppression of woollyleaf bursage.
Applications need to be made with ground equipment.
The use of adjuvants, as specified under the Spray Additives section, will significantly improve the initial
burndown of any emerged woollyleaf bursage, but this effect is only temporary. Therefore, an adjuvant
may be used if desired, but is not necessary.
