Environmental Hazards
For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas
where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water
when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Groundwater Advisory- This product has properties and
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where
the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory. This product may impact sur-
face water due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true
for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater.
This product is classified as having high potential for reach-
ing surface water via runoff for several weeks after
application. A level, well-maintained buffer strip between
areas to which this product is applied and surface water
features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce
the potential loading of this chemical from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoid-
ing application when rainfall is forecast to occur within
48 hours.
Proper Handling Instructions. This product may not be
mixed or loaded within 50 feet of wells (including aban-
doned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or
intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded
lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to prop-
erly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not
apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading
areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing
of this product into or from pesticide handling or applica-
tion equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are
prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad con-
structed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that
may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a
pad must be designed and maintained to contain any
product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment
rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad.
Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or
from the pad, which means the pad must be self-
contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material
removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to
contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest
pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A
pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely
exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a
minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of
the largest pesticide container or application equipment on
the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall
be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum
containment capacity DOES NOT apply to vehicles when
delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site.
States may have in effect additional requirements regarding
wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent
back-siphoning in wells, spills, or improper disposal of
excess pesticide spray mixture.
Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in ground-
water contamination. Application in areas where soils are
permeable or coarse and groundwater is near the surface
could result in groundwater contamination.
Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in surface
water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff erosion.
Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for
dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source
contamination, DO NOT mix or load this or any other pesti-
cide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned
wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermit-
tent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes
and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly
capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to
impervious pad or dike 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 move 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 suffi-
cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or
container leaks, equipment washwater, 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 wellhead setbacks and operational
containment.
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:
• Back-siphoning into wells
• Spills
• Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixes, or
rinsates
Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all
mixing equipment.
Movement Dissolved in 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 or frozen soils. Groundwater

contamination may occur in areas where soils are perme-
able or coarse and groundwater is near the surface.
To minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination,
carefully follow application rate as affected by soil type in
the Crop-specific Information section of this label.
DO NOT apply if all three criteria exist: coarse soils classi-
fied as sand (does not include loamy sand or sandy loam),
less than 3% organic matter (as determined by soil tests, if
not known), and where depth to groundwater is 30 feet or
less.
Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil.
DO NOT apply or incorporate this product by flood or fur-
row irrigation. Ensure treated areas have received at least
0.5 inch of rainfall before using tailwater for subsequent irri-
gation of other fields.

Product Information
Optill® PRO herbicide is a combination of two separate
formulated components defined as follows, which are
intended to be applied together as a tank mix application.
1. Dry component: two containers each weighing
40 ounces (2.5 pounds) of a saflufenacil and imazethapyr
product formulated as a water-dispersible granule.
2. Liquid component: two jugs each containing
200 fluid ounces (1.56 gallons) of a dimethenamid-P
product formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate.
Optill PRO is packaged as Dry and Liquid components
together in a carton (containing two 2.5 pound containers
of the Dry component and two 1.5 gallon jugs of the
Liquid component) that contains enough saflufenacil,
imazethapyr, and dimethenamid-P to treat 40 acres.
Optill PRO provides both contact burndown and residual
preemergence broadleaf and grass weed control (refer to
Table 1 for lists of weeds controlled) in soybean. Refer to
Crop-specific Information section for instructions on
herbicide tank mixtures.
Make burndown applications of Optill PRO when weeds
are small and actively growing. An adjuvant is required with
Optill PRO for optimum burndown activity (refer to
Additives section for details). Burndown activity may be
slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler
weather conditions or when weeds are growing under
drought or other stress conditions. When targeting dense
weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use high-
er spray volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees)
may improve penetration of denser weed canopies.
Residual preemergence applications of Optill PRO must be
activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation
prior to weed seedling emergence. When Optill PRO is not
activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation
may be needed to control weed escapes.

1 Populations of noted weeds exist that are known to be resistant to Group 2/Group B, Group 14/Group E, and/or
Group 9/Group G (e.g. glyphosate) herbicides. Optill PRO may not provide full-season control of these herbicide-
resistant biotypes. See the Resistance Management section for practices to manage and minimize the impact of
resistant weeds (e.g. tank mix or alternate with other herbicide modes of action, crop rotation, and mechanical control).
2 Control of seedling stage and suppression of perennial growth stage

Mode of Action
OptilP PRO herbicide contains three herbicide active
ingredients. Saflufenacil is a potent inhibitor of
protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, belonging to herbicide
mode-of-action Group 14 (WSSA)/Group E (HRAC).
Imazethapyr is a potent inhibitor of acetohydroxyacid
synthase, belonging to herbicide mode-of-action
Group 2 (WSSA)/Group B (HRAC).
Dimethenamid-P inhibits very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA)
synthesis, belonging to the mode-of-action
Group 15 (WSSA)/Group K3 (HRAC). The Dry component
active ingredients of Optill PRO are rapidly absorbed by
roots and foliage. Plant death is the result of membrane
damage and inhibition of the production of branched chain
amino acids. Under active growing conditions, susceptible
emerged weeds usually develop chlorotic and necrotic
injury symptoms within hours and die within a few days.
Susceptible emerging weed seedlings will usually die as
they reach the soil.surface or shortly after emergence. The
Liquid component active ingredient of Optill PRO is
absorbed by roots and shoots of weeds following germina-
tion. Plant death is the result of very long chain fatty acid
synthesis inhibition; susceptible weeds typically do not
emerge.
Resistance Management
While weed resistance to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase-
inhibiting herbicide is relatively infrequent, populations of
resistant biotypes to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase or
acetohydroxyacid-synthase-inhibiting herbicides are known
to exist. Weed resistance to VLCFA synthesis-inhibiting
herbicides is rare. Resistance management practices
include:
1. Following labeled application rate and weed growth
stage instructions
2. Avoiding repeated applications of herbicides with the
same mode of action
3. Utilizing tank mixes and sequential applications with
other effective herbicides possessing different modes of
action
4. Using crop rotation so crop competition, tillage or
herbicides with alternative modes of action can be used
to control weed escapes
Crop Tolerance
Soybeans are tolerant to Optill PRO when applied accord-
ing to label directions as a preplant to preemergence
treatment and under normal environmental conditions.
Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions
(e.g. seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, exces-
sive moisture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration or
drought).
Severe crop injury will result if Optill PRO is applied post-
emergence (over the top) to soybeans.
Application Instructions
Apply Optill PRO prior to crop emergence only.
Application Methods and Equipment
Optill PRO may be applied by either ground or air.
Thorough spray coverage is required for optimum weed
control and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle,
and spray volume selection.
Use and configure application equipment to provide an
adequate spray volume, an accurate and uniform distribu-
tion of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid
spray drift to nontarget areas. Equipment should be adjust-
ed to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with
good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that
will increase rates above the use rates specified in this
label.
Optill PRO may only be applied using water as the spray
carrier.
Aerial Application Requirements
Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre.
The following measures must be followed to reduce the
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial
applications:
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or
90% of rotor blade diameter.
2. Use low-drift nozzles such as straight-stream nozzles
(D-8 or larger). DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist
droplet spray..
3. Nozzles must'always point backward parallel with the
airstream and never be pointed downward more than
45 degrees.
4. Without compromising aircraft safety, applications
should be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the
crop canopy or tallest plants.
5. DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversions
or stable atmospheric conditions.
6. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
maintaining a 150-feet buffer between the point of direct
application and the closest downwind edge of sensi-
tive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested
areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian
areas, and shrub lands).
Ground Application Requirements
Water Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water per treated
acre for weed control applications. Thorough spray cover-
age is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds.
High populations and/or variations in size can prevent ade-
quate spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in
the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) will also require thor-
ough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to
20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase
spray coverage and optimize burndown activity.
10

The following measures must be followed to reduce the
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground
applications:
1. Apply this product using nozzles which deliver medium-
to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASAE
standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer's
catalogs. Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burn-
down applications while flood-jet type nozzles are
recommended for residual soil surface applications.
Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used
to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per
acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target
(i.e. weeds or soil surface). DO NOT use nozzles that
produce fine (e.g. cone) spray droplets.
2. Apply this product only when the potential for drift to
adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e.g. when the wind
is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive
areas). DO NOT apply during periods of temperature
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
3. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
maintaining a 35-feet buffer between the application area
and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial
habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts,
woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands).
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
manufacturer's directions, followed by triple rinsing the
equipment before and after applying this product.
Spray Drift Management
It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at
the application site, especially onto nontarget areas. The
interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica-
tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions.
The applicator must be familiar with and take into account
the information covered in the following spray drift reduc-
tion advisory information.
Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to
reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that
provide sufficient coverage and control.
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 rec-
ommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower
pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates
are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increas-
ing pressure.
Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of nozzles
that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets.
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 compensate for this displacement by
adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g. air-
craft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance should
increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller
droplets, etc.).
Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 to
10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment.type, determine drift potential at any given
speed. If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the
applicator must determine if:
1. Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or
2. Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle
height.
DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Wind Erosion. Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy
soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under
these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
rainfall or irrigation.
Additives
For optimum burndown activity with Optill® PRO
herbicide, an adjuvant system must be used that includes
the following:
Adjuvant
methylated seed oil1 (MSO)
PLUS
ammonium sulfate (AMS)
or
urea ammonium nitrate (UAN)
Rate
1 gal/1 00 gals2 (1%v/v)
PLUS
8.5to17lbs/100gals
(1%to2%w/v)
or
1.25 to 2.5 gals/1 00 gals
(1.25%to2.5%v/v)
1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methy-
lated seed oil. Poor performance may occur with
adjuvants containing less than 60% methylated seed oil.
2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume
(< 12.5 gallons per acre) aerial or ground applications.
BASF highly recommends the use of AMS fertilizer when
mixing Optill PRO with glyphosate-based herbicides.
DO NOT use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for
MSO or poor performance on broadleaf weeds will occur.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and
Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
11

Tank Mixing Information
Optiir PRO herbicide may be tank mixed with one or
more registered herbicide products according to the spe-
cific tank mixing instructions in this label and respective
product labels. Read and follow the applicable restrictions
and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Always follow the most restrictive
label use directions. Refer to Crop-specific Information
section for details.
Tank mixtures with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone,
paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of
Optill PRO.
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 the mix-
ing 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. If the spray solution is not
compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addi-
tion of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is
then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed
on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT
mix the ingredients in the same tank.
Mixing Order
The mixing of Optill PRO and other products in the spray
water must be conducted as follows:
1. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start
agitation.
2. Agitation - Maintain agitation throughout mixing.
3. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after
each component has been added.
4. 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.
5. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fertil-
izers such as ammonium sulfate or urea ammonium
nitrate)
6. Water-dispersible products (including Dry component
of Optill PRO and others, such as dry flowables, wet-
table powders, suspension concentrates, or
suspo-emulsions)
7. Water-soluble products (such as glyphosate)
8. Emulsifiable concentrates (including Liquid compo-
nent of Optill.PRO and methylated seed oil adjuvants)
9. Remaining quantity of water
NOTE: DO NOT pour the Liquid component of
Optill PRO into the spray tank before the Dry component
of Optill PRO or poor product mixing may result.
Maintain agitation throughout application until spraying is
completed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any
period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend
the mixture before spraying is resumed. Continue agitation
while spraying.
Use Precautions
• Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to the
Crop-specific Information section for maximum crop-
ping seasonal application use rates. A cropping season is
defined as the period following harvest of the preceding
crop through the harvest of the planned or current crop.
• DO NOT apply Optill PRO after crop emergence or
severe crop injury will occur.
• Rainfastness - Optill PRO is rainfast 1 hour after appli-
cation. Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or
irrigation occurs within 1 hour of application.
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for
domestic purposes.
• DO NOT apply Optill PRO through any type of irrigation
system (e.g. chemigation).
• Full-rate application of products containing chlorimuron
ethyl, chloransulam-methyl, flumetsulam, or imazaquin in
the same year as Optill PRO may increase the risk of
injury to sensitive follow crops. Consult the respective
' labels of these products for recommended uses of these
products in combinations.
• Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used
for feed or food.
• When organophosphate or carbamate insecticides are
tank mixed with Optill PRO, temporary injury may result
to the treated crops.
• Optill PRO is not for sale, distribution, or use in
Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State, or
in California.
Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation,
and Emergency Replanting Intervals
Use Table 2 and its exceptions in the paragraphs following
the table to determine the proper interval between
Optill PRO application and rotational crop planting. This
interval can be used to determine the acceptable planting
interval for rotational crops as well as replanting after crop
failure (because of environmental factors such as drought,
frost or hail, etc.). Be sure to determine the rotational crop
12

interval for tank mix products and utilize the most restrictive
interval of all products applied.

with organic matter less than or equal to 2.0%.
"Following 40 months after an Optill PRO application and
before planting any crop not listed elsewhere in the
Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and
Emergency Replanting Intervals, a successful field
bioassay must be completed. The field bioassay consists
of a test strip of the intended rotational crop planted
across the previously treated field and grown to maturity.
The test strip should include low areas and knolls and
include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no crop
injury is evident in the test strip, the intended rotational
crop may be planted the following year. Sugar beet pro-
duction can be reduced when grown in soil conditions
with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH
prior to planting rotational crops not listed in Rotational
Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency
Replanting Intervals, apply the lime at least 12 months
prior to planting the rotational crop.
Use of Optill PRO in accordance with label directions is
expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in
most situations. However, various environmental and
agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rota-
tional crop injury is always possible.
Exceptions to Crop Rotation Restrictions
Barley
(Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia only)
Barley may be planted 4 months following an Optill PRO'
application in these states.
Corn Inbred Lines
Corn inbred seed lines may be planted the year following
an application of Optill PRO. Growers are directed to
contact the seed company for information and recommen-
dations regarding the planting of corn grown for seed in
fields treated with Optill PRO the previous year. Because
growing conditions, environmental conditions, and grower
practices are beyond the control of BASF, all risks and con-
sequences associated with planting seed corn inbreds into
fields treated previously with Optill PRO shall be assumed
by the user.
Sweet Corn and Popcorn Varieties
(Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee,
and Wisconsin only)
Sweet corn and popcorn varieties may be planted the year
following an application of Optill PRO. Some sweet corn
and popcorn varieties may be injured when planted at less
than 18 months following an application of Optill PRO.
Before planting sweet corn for processing, contact the
processor company for information and recommendations
regarding the tolerance of sweet corn varieties planned for
fields treated with Optill PRO the previous year. DO NOT
plant fresh market sweet corn varieties prior to 18 months
after Optill PRO use. Before planting popcorn, contact the
popcorn company for information and recommendations
regarding the tolerance of popcorn varieties planned for
fields treated with Optill PRO the previous year. Because
growing conditions, environmental conditions, and grower
practices are beyond the control of BASF, all risks and con-
sequences associated with planting sweet corn or popcorn
varieties into fields treated previously with Optill PRO shall
be assumed by the user. Stunting and maturity-delay or
other adverse effects may result when sweet corn or pop-
corn are planted following Optill PRO use.
13

Certain Vegetable Crops
(Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia only)
The following crops may be planted 18 months following
the last application of Optill® PRO herbicide: Bahiagrass,
cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumber,. Irish potato, onion, sweet
pepper transplants, sweet potato transplants, tomato
transplants and watermelon.

Crop-specific Information
This section provides use directions for Optill PRO in soy-
bean. Be sure to read about product information, mixing,
application, weeds controlled and adjuvant instructions in
preceding sections of the label. Read and follow tank mix
product labels for restrictions, precautions, instructions and
rotational crop restrictions.
Depending-on specific application directions, Optill PRO
may be applied for burndown control of emerged weeds
and/or residual control of germinating weeds (refer to
Table 1 for list of weeds controlled) before planting
(preplant/preseed) or after planting but before crop emer-
gence. Depending on the time between Optill PRO
application and planting, a followup in-crop herbicide appli-
cation may be needed for complete weed control
throughout the growing season.
Thorough spray coverage is required for control of
emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or
variations in size can prevent adequate spray coverage.
Controlling fal'l-germinated weeds in the spring
(e.g. horseweed/marestail) will also require thorough spray
coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons
of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov-
erage and optimize burndown activity.
Soybean
Optill PRO may be applied in the fall and/or in the spring
as a preplant 'or preemergence burndown application in
reduced or no-till soybean for weed control (refer to
Table 1 for list of weeds controlled). An adjuvant system
(refer to Additives section for details) is required for opti-
mum burndown activity.
Application Rate
Optill PRO is a combination of two separate formulated
components defined as follows, which are intended to be
applied together as a tank mix application.
1. Dry component: two containers each weighing
40 ounces (2.5 pounds) of a formulated water-
dispersible granule.
2. Liquid component: two jugs each containing 200 fluid
ounces (1.56 gallons) of a formulated emulsifiable
concentrate.
The entire contents of the Optill PRO carton will treat
40 acres.
If the intended treatment area is less than 40 acres, apply a
rate ratio equivalent to 2 ounces of the Dry component
with 10 fluid ounces of the Liquid component on a per
acre basis. DO NOT apply to soybean using a different
ratio of the Dry and Liquid components on a per acre
basis.
Application Timing
Fall Application
Apply Optill PRO for burndown and/or residual weed con-
trol after the prior crop is harvested. Applications must be
made prior to first killing frost. Fall applications can be
made to all soil types.
Spring Application
Apply Optill PRO early preplant through preemergence for
burndown and/or residual weed control prior to crop emer-
gence. A sequential application of Sharpen® herbicide at
1.0 and 2.0 fl ozs/A may be made with a minimum of
30 and 60 days between applications, respectively.
Soybean Planting Interval
Depending on soil texture and organic matter, an interval
between Optill PRO application and soybean planting may
be required (see Table 3). These intervals must be
observed prior to planting soybeans or crop injury may
occur.

WARNING/AVISOSi usted no entiende la etiqueta. busque a alguien para que se la explique a usted en detalle.
(If you do not understand the label, find someone to explain it to you in detail.)
Precautionary Statements: Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals.
WARNING. Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Harmful if inhaled,
swallowed, or absorbed through the skin. DO NOT get in eyes or on clothing.
Avoid contact with skin. Avoid breathing spray mist. Prolonged or frequently
repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Environmental Hazards: For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water,
areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high
water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment
washwaters or rinsate. Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in
groundwater contamination. Application in areas where soils are permeable or
coarse and groundwater is near the surface could result in groundwater
contamination. Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in surface water
contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff erosion. Practices should be
followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion. See
leaflet for complete Environmental Hazards. FIRST AID: If in eyes: Hold eyes
open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove
contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes; then continue rinsing eyes.
