IMPORTANT CROP SAFETY INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide may be applied as a burn-
down treatment prior to planting of canola, corn, sweet
corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beet, fruiting vegeta-
bles, cucurbits, olives, trees, vines, berries, tropical and
subtropical fruits listed on this label or after planting but
prior to emergence of canola, corn, sweet corn, cotton,
soybean, and sugar beet.
Postemergence row crop applications of
 Liberty 280 SL may be made only to crops resistant to
the active ingredient in this product. BASF does not war-
rant the use of this product on crops other than those
designated as LibertyLink
® to safely withstand the
application of Liberty 280 SL to the extent consistent
with applicable law.
The basis of selectivity of Liberty 280 SL in crops is the
presence of a gene in LibertyLink crops which results in
a plant that is resistant to the active ingredient of
 Liberty 280 SL. Crops not containing this gene will not
be resistant to Liberty 280 SL and severe crop injury
and/or death may occur. DO NOT allow spray to contact
foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetation other than
crops resistant to the active ingredient in this product.
 Liberty 280 SL may be applied to conventional or other
transgenic cotton not resistant to the active ingredient in
 Liberty 280 SL using a hooded sprayer.
Applications in bearing and nonbearing perennial
fruit, nut, berry crops, and tropical and subtropi-
cal fruits must avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL
solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark, stems, or
foliage, as injury may occur. Only spray trunks with cal-
lused, mature brown bark unless protected from spray
contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes or waxed con-
tainers. Contact of Liberty 280 SL with parts of trees,
vines, berries, tropical or subtropical fruits other than
mature brown bark can result in serious damage.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or
disposal.
Pesticide Storage
DO NOT use or store near heat or open ﬂame. Keep the
container tightly closed and dry in a cool, well-ventilated
place. Storage temperature must not exceed 125° F. If
storage temperature for bulk Liberty
® 280 SL
 herbicide is below 32° F, the material must not be
pumped until its temperature exceeds 32° F. Protect
against direct sunlight.
For containers larger than 2.5 gallons, periodic recircula-
tion is advised during long term storage and prior to use
or dispersement.

• burndown treatment prior to planting of canola, corn,
sweet corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar beet, fruiting
vegetables, cucurbits listed on this label
• burndown treatment after planting but prior to emer-
gence of canola, corn, sweet corn, cotton, soybean, and
sugar beet
• postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied on
LibertyLink
® or glufosinate-resistant crops including
glufosinate-resistant gold-of-pleasure,
LibertyLink canola, LibertyLink  corn,
 LibertyLink  sweet corn, LibertyLink  cotton,
 LibertyLink  soybeans, and LibertyLink sugar beets
• postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied in
cotton with a hooded sprayer only
• postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied in
bearing and nonbearing perennial fruit, nut, and berry
crops, and tropical and subtropical fruits
• postemergence weed control herbicide to be applied
between rows of fruiting vegetables and cucurbits
• postemergence weed control in grass grown for seed
production
• vine desiccant in potatoes
 Liberty 280 SL is only foliar-active with little or no activity
in soil. Only weeds that are emerged at the time of applica-
tion will be controlled by Liberty 280 SL.
 Liberty 280 SL:
• Apply to actively growing small weeds as speciﬁed in the
Weeds Controlled section.
• Liberty 280 SL is a contact herbicide and requires uni-
form, thorough spray coverage.
• Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight
improve the performance of Liberty 280 SL.
• Necrosis of leaves and young shoots occurs within 2 to
4 days after application under good growing conditions.
• Liberty 280 SL is rainfast four (4) hours after application
to most weed species; therefore, rainfall within four
(4) hours may necessitate retreatment or may result in
reduced weed control. Refer to speciﬁc use sections of
this label for minimum intervals required before re-
application of this product and use rates.

5
• Liberty® 280 SL herbicide requires sunlight for activity.
Applications near dawn and dusk may result in reduced
weed control. For best results, make applications
between sunrise and 2 hours before sunset.
• Weed control may be reduced if application is made
when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present; or when
weeds are under stress due to environmental conditions
including drought, cool temperatures, or extended peri-
ods of cloudiness.
• To maximize weed control, DO NOT cultivate from
5 days before an application to 7 days after an
application.
• Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service or
BASF representative for guidelines on the optimum appli-
cation timing for Liberty 280 SL in your region.

section of the label.
*** Planting of cover crops for conservation purposes
may be planted in ﬁelds previously treated with
 Liberty 280 SL as long as these cover crops are not
grazed by livestock nor harvested for food. For best
results, DO NOT plant cover crops less than 7 days
after an application of Liberty 280 SL nor before
1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation has occurred. Planting
sooner than this may result in stand reduction. Plant-
ing of crops listed in the Rotational Crop
Restrictions that follow the listed planting intervals
and other restrictions are considered a rotational crop
and therefore may be harvested.
Resistance Management
 Liberty 280 SL is a Group 10 herbicide, i.e., a glutamine
synthetase inhibitor. A given weed population may contain
or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use.
Appropriate resistance management strategies should be
followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The following
 integrated weed management techniques are effective in
reducing problems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It
is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resis-
tance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective.
Contact your local BASF 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.
Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the
weed species present and the growth to determine if the
intended application will be effective. Fields should be scout-
ed after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identiﬁed by
these indicators:
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by
the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
achieved on adjacent weeds;
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular
weed species; and
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the
same species.
Report an incidence of non-performance of this product
against a particular weed species to your local extension spe-
cialists, certiﬁed crop advisor and/or BASF representative.
• Rotate crops - Crop rotation diversiﬁes weed
management.
• Rotate herbicide-resistant traits - Alternate
 herbicide-resistant (HR) traits and/or use HR trait stacks
for more efﬁcient rotation.
• Use multiple herbicide sites of action - Use tank mix
partners and multiple sites of action during both the

6
growing season and from year to year to reduce the
selection pressure of a single site of action.
• Know your weeds. Know your ﬁelds - Closely moni-
tor problematic areas with difﬁcult-to-control weeds or
dense weed populations.
• Start with clean ﬁelds - Effective tillage or the use of a
burndown herbicide program can control emerged
weeds prior to planting.
• Stay clean. Use residual herbicides - Regardless of
tillage system, preemergence or early postemergence
soil-applied residual herbicides should be used when
possible.
• Apply herbicides correctly - Ensure proper applica-
tion, including timing, full use rates and appropriate spray
volumes.
• Control weed escapes - Consider spot herbicide
applications, row wicking, cultivation or hand removal of
weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed produc-
tion and improve weed management.
• Zero tolerance. Reduce the seed bank - DO NOT
allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help
decrease weed populations from year to year and pre-
vent major weed shifts.
• Clean equipment - Prevent the spread of herbicide-
resistant weeds and their seeds.
• Manage borders. Prevent an inﬂux of weeds into the
ﬁeld by managing borders.
• Scout ﬁelds.
• Diversiﬁed approach. To the extent possible, use a
diversiﬁed approach towards weed management. When-
ever possible, incorporate multiple weed-control
practices including mechanical cultivation, biological
management practices or crop rotation.
Contact your local extension specialist, certiﬁed crop advi-
sory and/or BASF representative for additional resistance
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more infor-
mation on weed resistance management, visit the
Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) on the
web at http://www.hracglobal.com.
Weeds Controlled
For best results, apply to emerged, small and actively
growing weeds less than 3 inches in height. Warm tem-
peratures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
performance of Liberty
® 280 SL herbicide. Uniform,
thorough spray coverage of weeds is necessary to achieve
consistent weed control. Refer to the Application
 Equipment section for more details.
Weed control may be reduced when applications are made
to weeds under stress including drought or cool tempera-
tures and in dense populations. Stressed conditions may
also include prior treatments of other contact or systemic
herbicides. Regrowth of weeds may occur due to the weed
stage of growth at application, use rate, or environmental
conditions at the time of application.
When any of these conditions exist, select a higher rate
within the label rate range to improve weed control.

Compatibility Testing
If Liberty 280 SL is to be mixed with pesticide products
not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intend-
ed tank mixture prior to mixing the products in the spray
tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of
25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, adjust the
amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility
as follows:
1. Place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used
to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1-quart jar.
2. For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied
per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar.
3. For each 16 ﬂ ozs of a liquid tank mix partner to be
applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
4. For each 16 ﬂ ozs of Liberty 280 SL to be applied per
acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
5. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and
tighten. Invert 10 times to mix.

10
6. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes and evaluate the
solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation,
large ﬂakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily ﬁlm on the jar,
or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners
are not compatible, DO NOT use the mixture in a spray
tank.
7. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any
pesticide wastes in accordance with the STORAGE
AND DISPOSAL section of this label.
Mixing Instructions
Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide is formulated to mix readily in
water. Prior to adding Liberty 280 SL to the spray tank,
ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly
if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previ-
ously used (see Cleaning Instructions ). It is the pesticide
user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are regis-
tered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable
restrictions and precautions and directions for use on all
product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow
the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Tank Mix Instructions. Liberty 280 SL may be applied
in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other prod-
ucts provided these other products are labeled for the
timing and method of application for the crop to be treat-
ed. The tank mix partner must be used in accordance with
the label restrictions and precautions. No label dosage
rates may be exceeded. Liberty 280 SL cannot be mixed
with any product containing a label prohibition against
such mixing. Refer to the speciﬁc crop section for rates
and other restrictions.
Mixing Instructions for Liberty 280 SL
1. Start with properly calibrated and clean equipment.
2. Fill the spray tank half full with water.
3. Start agitation.
4. If mixing with a ﬂowable/wettable powder tank mix part-
ner, prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the
product in a small amount of water. Add the slurry to the
spray tank.
5. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank if
needed.
6. If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid
mix partner next.
7. Complete ﬁlling the spray tank with water before add-
ing Liberty 280 SL, as foaming may occur.
8. Add Liberty 280 SL when tank is full and continue
agitation.
9. If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based anti-foam
agent.
Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms,
etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by
ﬂushing out the spray system lines before starting the crop
application.
If tank mix partners listed on this label are added, maintain
thorough agitation at all times until contents of the tank are
sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough
agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before
spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bottom
of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line
strainers must be 50 mesh or larger.
Cleaning Instructions
Prior To Liberty 280 SL Use
Before using Liberty 280 SL, thoroughly clean bulk stor-
age tank, reﬁllable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and
ﬁlter particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure
crops was previously used. Equipment must be thoroughly
rinsed using a commercial tank cleaner and as instructed
on the prior herbicide label.
After Liberty 280 SL Use
After using Liberty 280 SL, triple rinse the spray equip-
ment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before
using the equipment for a new application. Make sure any
rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and
boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide
disposal directions on this label.
Application Instructions
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to
achieve consistent weed control with Liberty 280 SL.
Ground Application
• Apply early when weeds are small with directed rates as
identiﬁed in the Weeds Controlled section.
• Apply Liberty 280 SL in a minimum of 15 gallons of
water per acre. Increase to 20 gallons of water per acre
for better coverage of large weeds, dense foliage, or
when using larger spray droplets.
Nozzle Selection
Apply with nozzles and pressure that deliver medium to
coarse spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s
catalogues and in accordance with ASABE Standard 572.1
unless otherwise mandated by tank mix product.
Addition of some drift retardants can signiﬁcantly increase
the droplet size and reduce spray coverage and efﬁcacy. If
a drift retardant is used, ensure that it is compatible for use
with Liberty 280 SL and spray equipment being used.
Aerial Application
• Apply early when weeds are small with directed rates as
identiﬁed in the Weeds Controlled section.
• Apply Liberty 280 SL in a minimum of 10 gallons of
water per acre.
• See the Spray Drift Management section of this label
for additional information on proper application of
 Liberty 280 SL.
Application Restrictions
• DO NOT apply when winds are gusty or when condi-
tions will favor movement of spray particles off the
desired spray target. See the Spray Drift Management

11
section of this label for additional information on proper
application of Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide .
• DO NOT use ﬂood jet nozzles, controlled droplet
application equipment, or air-assisted spray
equipment.
Adjuvant Instructions
• Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be used at 1.5 lbs/A to
3 lbs/A. Rates are dependent on tank mix partners,
 environmental conditions, temperatures and potential for
leaf burn.
• AMS has shown to improve weed con trol of difﬁcult-
to-control weeds, like velvetleaf and lambsquarters,
under difﬁcult environmental conditions (low relative
humidity) or hard water.
• Anti-foam agent is advised.
• No additional surfactant is needed with any tank mix
partner.
The use of additional surfactants or crop oils may increase
the risk of crop response. Please refer to the surfac tant
label for more detailed information.
Mandatory Spray Drift Mitigation
• When applying to crops via aerial application equip-
ment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft
so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor
blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75%
of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
• When applying to crops via aerial application equip-
ment, applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement
upwind at the downwind edge of the ﬁeld.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
• For aerial applications, DO NOT release spray at a
height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy,
unless a greater application height is required for pilot
safety.
• For ground applications and aerial applications, select
nozzle and pressure that deliver medium to coarse
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s
catalogues and in accordance with ASABE
Standard 572.1.
• Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle
selection and nozzle spacing, but DO NOT exceed a
boom height of 24 inches above target pest or crop
canopy. Set boom to lowest effective height over the
target pest or crop canopy based on equipment
 manufacturer’s directions. Automated boom height
controllers are recommended with large booms to
 better maintain optimum nozzle to canopy height.
Excessive boom height will increase the potential for
spray drift.
Advisory Spray Drift Language
• Pollinator Advisory Statement - This product con-
tains a herbicide. Follow all label directions and
precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure in
order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to
the treated site which may serve as habitat or forage for
pollinators.
• Spray Drift Management - The interaction of many
equipment and weather-related factors determines the
potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all these factors when making application
decisions.
• Importance of Droplet Size - The most effective way
to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The
best drift management strategy is to apply the largest
droplets that provide sufﬁcient coverage and control. The
presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an appli-
cator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING
LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL,
BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE
MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVI-
RONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind; Temperature
and Humidity ; and Temperature Inversions sections
of this label.
Techniques for 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 - Use the lower spray pressures speciﬁed for
the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
PRESSURE.
• 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.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-
zles with the highest ﬂow rate that provide uniform
coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the
spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will
produce larger droplets than other orientations. AVOID-
ING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
APPLICATOR.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (including disc and
core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back pro-
duce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potential.
Therefore, a shorter boom length is recommended.
• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above
the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
Boom Height. Setting the boom at the lowest referenced
height (if speciﬁed) which provides uniform coverage
reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
the crop and have minimal bounce.

12
Drift Reduction Technology (DRT). The EPA Drift
Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was developed to
encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray
technologies scientiﬁcally veriﬁed to signiﬁcantly reduce
pesticide drift. The use of DRTs should result in signiﬁcant-
ly less pesticide from spray applications drifting and being
deposited in areas not targeted by those applications,
compared to spray technologies that do not meet the mini-
mum DRT standard. EPA-veriﬁed drift reduction
technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be added to the
following webpage as they become available:
https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-veriﬁed-
and-rated-drift-reduction-technologies.
Wind. Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than
3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equip-
ment type determine drift potential at any given wind
speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR
WINDLESS CONDITIONS. NOTE: Local terrain can inﬂu-
ence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar
with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity. When making applications
in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce
larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
Temperature Inversions. Drift potential is high during a
temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict verti-
cal air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to
remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concen-
trated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature 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 identi-
ﬁed by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves lat-
erally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Shielded Sprayers. Shielding the boom or individual noz-
zles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the
responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are
preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition
of the product.

Application Methods to non Glufosinate-
resistant Cotton
Application of Liberty 280 SL to non glufosinate-resistant
cotton varieties requires the use of hooded spray equip-
ment designed to minimize exposure of the spray to the
cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto
weeds, while shielding the cotton stand from contact. Use
nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated
area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjusted to protect
desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to
avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray.
With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely
enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby
shielding the crop from the spray solution. This equipment
must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids
bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way.
The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skim-
ming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted
to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on
rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be
raised off the ground. If the hoods are raised, spray parti-
cles may escape and come into contact with the cotton,
causing damage or destruction of the crop.
Herbicide rates and spray volume instructions are present-
ed as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in
proportion to the area actually treated. Use the following
formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per
planted (ﬁeld) acre:

Application Directions for LibertyLink® or
Glufosinate-resistant Canola, Corn, Cotton,
and Soybean Seed Propagation
 Liberty 280 SL may be applied to select out susceptible
“segregates,” i.e., canola, corn, cotton, and soybean plants
that are not resistant to glufosinate- ammonium during
seed propagation.
• LibertyLink or glufosinate-resistant Canola -
 Liberty 280 SL may be used in canola seed

21
propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate
canola plants that do not carry a gene that imparts resis-
tance to glufosinate-ammonium and as such, can be
applied to remove susceptible segregates during canola
seed propagation. Breeding material not possessing the
 glufosinate-ammonium resistance gene will be severely
injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. See applica-
tion use directions for use on canola for use rates and
application timing. Up to three applications of
 Liberty
® 280 SL herbicide at up to 29 ﬂ ozs/A per
application may be made to LibertyLink ® or glufos-
inate-resistant canola for seed propagation. Applications
may be made from the cotyledon stage up to the early
bolting stage (e.g., BBCH 18 to 30, between just prior to
stem elongation/bolting, eight or more leaves and begin-
ning of stem elongation, no internodes).
• LibertyLink or glufosinate-resistant Corn - Inbred
lines, plants not possessing glufosinate-ammonium
resistance, will be severely injured or killed if treated with
this herbicide. A hooded sprayer may be used to protect
plants from coming into contact with the herbicide appli-
cation. For the selection of resistant corn “segregates”,
Liberty 280 SL may be applied at 22 ﬂ ozs/A plus
AMS at 3 lbs/A (17 lbs/100 gallons) when corn is in the
V-3 to V-4 stage of growth, i.e., 3 to 4 developed collars.
A second treatment of 22 ﬂ ozs/A plus AMS at 3 lbs/A
may be applied when the corn is in the V-6 to V-7 stage
of growth or up to 24 inches tall. Sequential applications
must be at least 10 days apart. When temperatures
exceed 85° F, the rate of AMS can be reduced to
1.5 lbs/A (8.5 lbs/100 gallons) to reduce potential leaf
burn.
• LibertyLink or glufosinate-resistant Cotton -
 Liberty 280 SL may be used in LibertyLink or
glufosinate-resistant cotton seed propagation as a foliar
spray to selectively eliminate cotton plants that do not
carry a gene that imparts resistance to glufosinate-
ammonium and as such, can be applied to remove
susceptible segregates during cotton seed propagation.
Breeding material not possessing the glufosinate-
ammonium resistance gene will be severely injured or
killed if treated with this herbicide. See application use
directions for use on cotton for use rates and application
timing.
• LibertyLink or glufosinate-resistant Soybean -
 Liberty 280 SL may be used in soybean seed
propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate soy-
bean plants that do not carry a gene that imparts
resistance to glufosinate-ammonium and as such, can
be applied to remove susceptible segregates during soy-
bean seed propagation. Soybeans not possessing the
glufosinate-ammonium resistance gene will be severely
injured or killed if treated with this herbicide.

Application Rate and Timing
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing
weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sun-
light improve the performance of Liberty 280 SL . Weed
control may be reduced when applications are made to
weeds under stress due to drought or cool temperatures.
Weeds under stress or in dense populations will require
application at the highest speciﬁed label use rate. Stressed
conditions also include prior treatments of other contact or
systemic herbicides. DO NOT retreat these weeds with
 Liberty 280 SL until sufﬁcient regrowth has occurred.
Apply Liberty 280 SL as a directed spray to control unde-
sirable vegetation in perennial fruit, nut, and berry crops.
Apply as a broadcast, banded, or spot treatment application
depending on the situation to control weeds listed under the
heading Table 1. Weeds Controlled. Avoid direct spray or
drift to desirable vegetation. Regrowth may occur due to the
weed stage of growth at application, low use rate, or envi-
ronmental conditions. Repeat applications of
 Liberty 280 SL may be necessary to control plants gener-
ating from underground parts or seed.
Avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL solution, spray, drift or
mist with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur
to bearing and nonbearing perennial fruit, nut, and berry
crops. Only spray trunks with callused, mature
brown bark unless protected from spray contact by
nonporous wraps, grow tubes, or waxed containers.
Contact of Liberty 280 SL with parts of crop plants
other than mature brown bark can result in serious
damage.

Application Directions for Use in Hops
Application Rate and Timing
Liberty 280 SL may be applied in a single application or
in sequential applications.
Postemergence-directed Application
For postemergence control of weeds present between
hops rows and/or for control of hop sucker growth, apply
Liberty 280 SL at 32 to 55 ﬂ ozs/A (see chart below, use
rate is dependent on target weed growth size and stage,
and presence of hop suckers) as a broadcast directed
spray to the lower portion of the hop plant.
 Liberty 280 SL may be applied with a hooded sprayer to
prevent spray drift to susceptible vegetation.
Avoid contact of Liberty 280 SL solution, spray, drift, or
mist with green bark, stems, foliage, or fruit as injury may
occur to trees. Only trunks with callused, mature

Application Directions for
Potato Vine Desiccation
Application Rate and Timing
Apply Liberty ® 280 SL herbicide at the beginning of nat-
ural senescence of potato vines and when petiole nitrate
levels are below 15,000 ppm. Apply 21 ﬂ ozs/A. DO NOT
split this application or apply more than one application
per harvest. Potato varieties with heavy or dense vines
may require an application of an additional desiccation
product to complete vine desiccation.
Thorough coverage of the potato vines to be desiccated is
essential. Use a sufﬁcient volume of water (20 to 100 gpa)
to obtain thorough coverage of the potato vines. Vary the
gallons of water per acre and the spray pressure as indi-
cated by the density of the potato vines to assure thorough
spray coverage. Increase the spray volume to at least
30 gallons of water per acre when the potato vine canopy
is dense or under cool and dry conditions. Apply
 Liberty 280 SL with the spray boom as low as possible to
achieve thorough coverage of the potato vines for best
control and to minimize drift potential.
The use of additives or adjuvants may improve the perfor-
mance of Liberty 280 SL in desiccating potatoes.
However, the combination of Liberty 280 SL with adju-
vants, other than ammonium sulfate (AMS), have been
known to cause injury in potatoes under speciﬁc conditions
and in certain geographies. To the extent consistent with
applicable law, the user assumes all risks associated with
adding adjuvants, other than AMS, to the Liberty 280 SL
spray solution. BASF cannot be held responsible for crop
injury on potatoes when using these adjuvants.
Restrictions to the Directions for Use in
Potato Vine Desiccation
• DO NOT make more than 1 application per year to pota-
to vines.
• DO NOT apply more than 21 ﬂ ozs/A (0.38 lb ai/A) per
application per year to potato vines.
• DO NOT harvest potatoes until 9 days or more after
application of Liberty 280 SL.
• DO NOT apply to potatoes grown for seed.
• Potatoes, canola, corn, cotton, soybean, and sugar
beets may be planted at any time after the application of
Liberty 280 SL as a potato vine desiccant.
• DO NOT plant treated areas to barley, buckwheat, millet,
oats, rye, sorghum, triticale, and wheat until 30 or more
days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato
vine desiccant.
• DO NOT plant treated areas to root and tuber vegeta-
bles, leafy vegetables, and Brassica vegetables until
70 days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a
potato vine desiccant.
• DO NOT plant treated areas to crops other than those
listed in this use restrictions section until 120 or more
days after an application of Liberty 280 SL as a potato
vine desiccant.
Fallow Fields and Postharvest
Liberty 280 SL may be used as a substitute for tillage in
fallow ﬁelds to control or suppress weeds listed in the
Weeds Controlled section of this label. Applications may
be made in fallow ﬁelds or post harvest to any crop listed
on this label.
Apply Liberty 280 SL at 22 to 29 ﬂ ozs/A to fallow ﬁelds
or postharvest to control weeds. Liberty 280 SL must be
applied with ammonium sulfate or an adjuvant containing
 ammonium sulfate at a rate that provides 1.5 to 3 lbs
ammonium sulfate/acre. Tank mixes with 2,4-D, glyphosate
or atrazine can be made with Liberty 280 SL to enhance
total weed control. When using Liberty 280 SL in tank
mix combinations, follow the precautions and directions of
use of the most restrictive label. See the Application
 Instructions and Mixing Instructions sections of this
label for additional information on how to apply this prod-
uct. See the Product Information section of this label for
Rotational Crop Restrictions .
Restrictions to the Directions for Use in
Fallow Fields or Postharvest Use
• DO NOT apply more than 29 ﬂ ozs/A (0.53 lb ai/A) to fal-
low ﬁelds or postharvest in a single application per year.
• DO NOT make more than 1 application per year to fal-
low ﬁelds or postharvest.
Farmsteads, Recreational, and
Public Areas
When applied as listed, Liberty 280 SL controls undesir-
able plant vegetation in noncrop areas around farmstead
building foundations, shelter belts, along fences, airports,
commercial plants, storage and lumber yards, educational
facilities, fence lines, ditch banks, dry ditches, schools,
parking lots, tank farms, pumping stations, parks, and
nonselective farmstead weed control in farmstead areas
(barnyards, buildings, driveways, facilities, farmyards,
machinery or implement yards, windbreaks, shelter belts).
Refer to the Application Rate and Timing section fol-
lowing this section of this label for appropriate application
broadcast and spot spray application rates.

31
Application Rate and Timing
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively grow-
ing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright
sunlight improve the performance of Liberty
® 280 SL
 herbicide. Weed control may be reduced when applica-
tions are made to weeds under stress due to drought or
cool temperatures. Weeds under stress or in dense popu-
lations will require application at the highest speciﬁed label
use rate. Stressed conditions also include prior treatments
of other contact or systemic herbicides. DO NOT retreat
these weeds with Liberty 280 SL until sufﬁcient regrowth
has occurred. Apply Liberty 280 SL as a directed spray
to control undesirable vegetation in farmsteads, recreation-
al, and public areas listed on this label. Apply as a
broadcast, banded, or spot treatment application depend-
ing on the situation to control weeds listed under the
heading Table 1. Weeds Controlled. Avoid direct spray
or drift to desirable vegetation. Regrowth may occur due
to the weed stage of growth at application, low use rate, or
environmental conditions. Repeat applications of
 Liberty 280 SL may be necessary to control plants gen-
erating from underground parts or seed.
Apply Liberty 280 SL at the rates listed below based on
weed size and stage of growth for all weeds listed in Table
1. Weeds Controlled.
