For optimum control, Facet® L herbicide may be combined with one of the tank mix partners listed in Crop-specific Information. Weeds Controlled When used as directed, Facet L will control or suppress the weed species listed in Table 1. For complete informa- tion on rates, including restrictions on maximum rates per year, see Crop-specific Information. The following weed species require special instructions for best weed control or suppression. Field and Hedge Bindweed Control For best bindweed control, apply Facet L in the fall just before the first killing frost. Bindweed plants should be actively growing and at least 4-inches long. If tillage is part of local postharvest practice, allow a minimum of 30 days after tillage for bindweed plants to regrow before applica- tion. For best long-term bindweed control, make yearly applications of Facet L at 22 to 32 fluid ounces per acre in the fall. Use the higher specified rate for dense populations or large plants. Canada Thistle, Perennial Sowthistle, and Russian Thistle Use 32 fluid ounces of Facet L per acre for suppression and annual growth control of Canada thistle, perennial sowthistle, and Russian thistle. Apply Facet L at rosette stage or bud stage. Avoid application when seed stalk is bolting. For best performance in pasture (including pasture grown for hay), rangeland, and Conservation Reserve Program Land (CRP) on Canada thistle, perennial sowthis- tle, and Russian thistle, tank mix 32 fluid ounces per acre of Facet L with Distinct ® herbicide. Leafy Spurge Use 32 to 64 fluid ounces of Facet L per acre in noncrop areas for suppression and annual growth control of leafy spurge. Apply Facet L at yellow bract (prebloom) or in the fall before the first killing frost. For best performance in pas- ture (including pasture grown for hay), rangeland, and Conservation Reserve Program Land (CRP) on leafy spurge, tank mix 32 fluid ounces per acre of Facet L with Distinct.

Mode of Action Facet® L herbicide, an auxin agonist classified as a quinoline carboxylic acid, is a systemic herbicide with plant uptake through both foliage and roots. Herbicide symp- toms on susceptible plants include twisting, stunting, reddening, and chlorosis. • Annual weeds - Symptoms may take up to two weeks after application to develop with death occurring in about three weeks. • Perennial weeds - Symptoms may not be evident for several weeks after application; full effect may not be evi- dent for 3 to 6 months. Resistance Management Facet L has a low probability of selecting for resistant weed biotypes. However, repeated applications of a single mode of action in a weed management plan increase the probability of herbicide resistance developing in a popula- tion. Therefore, weed management programs should include rotations using herbicides with different modes of action. Application Instructions Facet L should be applied by ground equipment whenever possible. Facet L may also be applied using aerial equip- ment in certain states (see Table 2A and Table 2B). When applying by air, read and follow all drift management infor- mation in this labeling. Facet L may be applied as a broadcast or spot spray application. For spot spray application, DO NOT exceed the maximum per area application rates in this labeling for broadcast applications. Apply to actively growing weeds only. For best control of most broadleaf weeds, apply Facet L when weeds are small. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum specified or labeled size and may lead to poor control. In irrigated areas, irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth. For best postemergence control, cover weeds thoroughly with spray solution for optimal foliar uptake of Facet L. Large leaf canopies can shelter smaller weeds, and this can prevent adequate spray coverage. Ground Application DO NOT apply when wind speeds are more than 10 mph at the application site. Water Volume. Use 5 to 40 gallons of water per broad- cast acre. When weed foliage is dense, higher spray volumes may be required. Spray Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufactur- er’s 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. Ensure sprayer rate controller hardware (if so equipped) does not allow pressure increase above the desired range. Ground Application Equipment • Use only nozzles spaced up to 20-inches apart that pro- duce uniform spray patterns and thorough coverage. Select nozzles designed to produce larger spray droplets for reduced spray drift. Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572). • DO NOT use controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles. • DO NOT use selective application equipment such as recirculating sprayers, wiper applicators, or shielded applicators. Aerial Application When application with ground spray equipment is not pos- sible, application by aircraft is acceptable if the aerial applicator understands the risks and assumes the liability associated with accidental spray drift from aerial applica- tion. Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572). Water Volume. Apply a minimum of 5 gallons water per broadcast acre. DO NOT make aerial application when: • Prohibited by state regulations. • Wind speeds are more than 8 mph at the application site. • Air temperature is more than 90° F. • Environmental conditions exist for temperature inversions. Facet L may be applied by air in states listed in Table 2A subject to geographic prohibitions listed in Table 2B. Table 2A. Facet L Aerial Application Permitted Because of the possible presence of endangered plant species as well as additional state restrictions, aerial appli- cation is NOT permitted in the geographic areas listed in Table 2B. Arkansas1 Nebraska1 Colorado1 Nevada Idaho1 New Mexico1 Illinois North Dakota1 Iowa Oklahoma1 Kansas1 Oregon1 Louisiana South Dakota1 Minnesota Texas1 Mississippi Utah1 Missouri Washington1 Montana1 Wyoming 1 See Table 2B for specific geographic restrictions where aerial applica- tion is not permitted. 5

Table 2B. Geographic Prohibitions on Aerial Application Arkansas Restrictions DO NOT apply Facet L (quinclorac) in an area from one- mile west of Highway No. 1 to one-mile east of Highway No. 163 from the Craighead/Poinsett county line to the Cross/Poinsett county line. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean spray equipment thoroughly using a strong deter- gent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions before and after applying this product. Spray Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when mak- ing decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops.

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator must be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the aerial drift reduction informa- tion presented below. 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 Inversion). Controlling droplet size: • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s 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 noz- zles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is recommended practice.

Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Use a nozzle that can apply a medium or coarser spray (ASABE stan- dard 572). Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. Application Height Making application at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. • Ground application - DO NOT release spray at a height more than 30-inches above the ground. • Aerial application - DO NOT release spray at a height more than 10-feet above the crop canopy, unless a high- er application height is required for pilot safety. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compen- sate for this displacement by adjusting the 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. DO NOT apply at wind speeds below 2 mph because of variable wind direction and high inversion potential. • Ground application - DO NOT apply Facet ® L herbicide when wind speeds are more than 10 mph at the application site. • Aerial application - DO NOT apply Facet L when wind speeds are more than 8 mph at the application site. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray 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 con- ditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversion Applications must 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 because of 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 gener- ator. 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 pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bod- ies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, or nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Additives Postemergence Applications Only - Add 2 pints of crop oil concentrate (COC) or 1 to 2 pints of methylated seed oil (MSO) per acre for better leaf and stem uptake of the her- bicide and enhanced weed control. A nitrogen fertilizer source [ammonium sulfate (AMS), urea ammonium nitrate (UAN)] can be added for better efficacy. An 80% active nonionic spray surfactant (NIS; 1 quart per 100 gallons of water) and a nitrogen fertilizer source (AMS at 8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of water) may be used when Facet L is tank mixed with products that restrict the use of oil additives. This may result in reduced weed control with Facet L. Due to the dry conditions, MSO plus AMS (8.5 pounds per 100 gallons of water) must be used when Facet L is applied alone for bindweed control in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Use of Facet L without addi- tives in these areas will lead to incomplete control. Spray deposition aids (drift control additives) may be added to the spray solution to affect spray droplet size and other characteristics and reduce the potential for off-target, acci- dental spray drift. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant is recommended. Tank Mixing Information Facet L may be tank mixed with other registered products. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and Directions For Use on all products involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. DO NOT use Facet L in tank mixes not specified on this label. Refer to Crop-specific Information section for tank mix products for use in rice and in-crop grain sorghum. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing Facet L with other pesticides, 7

additives, or fertilizers. Consult with your local BASF dealer regarding local tank mix options. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.

1. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.
2. Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of label rate per acre.
3. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo- nent additions.
4. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
5. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that could clog spray nozzles. Mixing Order Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
6. Water - Fill clean tank 3/4 full with clean water and start agitation.
7. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.
8. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
9. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions)
10. Water-soluble products (including Facet ® L herbicide)
11. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable)
12. Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when applicable)
13. Remaining quantity of water Maintain constant agitation during application. Restrictions and Limitations • Maximum Use Rates

Facet L can be used for weed control in dry-seeded, water-seeded, and Clearfield ® rice planting and produc- tion cultures. Facet L may be applied to rice fields to control barnyardgrass (including propanil-resistant bio-types), other annual grass weeds and certain broadleaf weeds. Crop Tolerance Rice is tolerant to Facet L when used according to label use directions and under typical growing conditions. Adverse weather conditions or high use rate from spray overlap or other sources may contribute to leaf twisting, buggy whipping, or other abnormal growth characteristics. In broadcast or water-seeded rice, seed on the soil surface in direct contact with Facet L is the most sensitive. These symptoms are typically short-lived, and rice usually recov- ers without significant stand loss or other injury. Application Rate and Timing Irrigation and Flood Water Best weed control with Facet L depends on timely irriga- tion, including flush irrigation, to maintain moist soil conditions and establishment of permanent flood water. Keep soil moist to maintain weed control. If soil is permitted to dry and weeds emerge, flush irrigate the field to reacti- vate residual activity of the herbicide while weeds are small (1 inch or less). If needed, make additional Facet L applications, but DO NOT apply more than 43 fluid ounces per acre per season. In water-seeded rice plantings and in pinpoint flood culture, drain all water from the rice field and ensure seedling rice has at least 2 leaves before applying Facet L. Rice seedlings without 2 leaves may be injured. Form flood water levees before applying Facet L for more consistent weed control. Residual weed control on the levee is dependent on moist soil conditions on the levee. If soil on the levee dries, erratic weed control may result. If a heavy rain occurs after applying Facet L, drain excess water from the rice field to avoid possible rice injury. Soil Application Facet L can be applied to the soil surface before, during, or after planting dry-seeded rice. Soil texture and clay con- tent determine the use rate for weed control. For best control in high clay content (heavy-texture) soil, use higher specified rates. Refer to Table 3 for use rates based on soil texture. Foliar Application Facet L can be applied to foliage of susceptible grass and broadleaf weeds in dry-seeded and water-seeded rice. When applied to weed foliage, leaves and stems partially uptake the herbicide. Rice must be flushed after foliar application to maximize root absorption for commercially acceptable weed control. Additionally, herbicide reaching the soil surface moves into the soil with rainfall or irrigation, which provides residual weed control. Weeds are effectively controlled with Facet L application rates of 26 to 32 fluid ounces per acre. Refer to Table 3 for application rates based on weed size or growth stage. Rice 9
