Mode of Action
Sethoxydim, the active ingredient in Poast® herbicide, is
a graminicide which inhibits the enzyme acetyl CoA car-
boxylase (ACCase), resulting in cessation of fatty acid
synthesis which is essential for new growth. Poast rapidly
enters the targeted grass weed through the foliage and
translocates throughout the plant. Effects range from slow-
ing or stopping growth (typically within 2 days) to foliage
reddening and leaf tip burn. Foliage burnback may occur
later. Whole plant death occurs over approximately
3 weeks. Sethoxydim is classified in Group 1 by the Weed
Science Society of America (WSSA) and Group A by the
Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC).
Herbicide Resistance Management
Poast is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may
contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Poast and
other Group 1 herbicides. Weed species with resistance
to Group 1 may eventually dominate the weed population
if Group 1 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field
or in successive years as the primary method of control for
targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of
control of those species by Poast or other Group 1
herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance consider:
• Avoiding the consecutive use of Poast or other target
site-of-action Group 1 herbicides that have a similar tar-
get site of action on the same weed species.
• Using tank mixes or premixes with herbicides from differ-
ent target-site-of-action groups as long as the involved
products are all registered for the same use, have differ-
ent sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix
or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.
• Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM (Integrat-
ed Pest Management) program including cultural and
mechanical methods.
• Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field effi-
cacy, and controlling escapes with effective alternative
herbicides or mechanical methods.
• Identifying weeds present in the field through scouting
and field history and understanding their biology. The
weed-control program needs to consider all of the
weeds present.
• Scouting fields prior to application to identify the weed
species present and their growth stage to determine if
the intended application will be effective.
• Scouting fields after application to verify the treatment
was effective.
• Suspected herbicide-resistance weeds may be identified
by these indicators:
1. Failure to control a weed species normally controlled
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if con-
trol is achieved on adjacent weeds;
2. A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a partic-
ular weed species; and
3. Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of
the same species.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an
herbicide with a different MOA and/or use nonchemical
methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal
of preventing further seed production.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product
against a particular weed species to your local BASF
representative.
• Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop
advisors, and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistance
management and/or integrated weed management
directions for specific crops.
Cultivation
DO NOT cultivate within 5 days before or 7 days after
applying Poast. Cultivating 7 days or more after applica-
tion may help provide season-long weed control.
Spray Drift Advisory
The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray
drift. Be aware of nearby nontarget sites and environmen-
tal 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume 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.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for
the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the
airflow in flight.
Boom Height - Ground Boom
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.
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.
7 [Page 8 of 43]
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use
larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
Temperature Inversion
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Tem-
perature 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 applica-
tion 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.
Boomless Ground Applications
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to
reduce the potential for spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
Tank Mixing Information
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direc-
tions 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.
Poast
® herbicide is a broad-spectrum, postemergence
herbicide for selective control of annual and perennial
grass weeds. For broadleaf weed control, Poast should
be used in combination with, or in sequence with, effective
broadleaf herbicides approved for use. Refer to the Use-
specific Information section of this label for tank mixing
restrictions.
Physical incompatibility, reduced grass weed control, or
crop injury may result from mixing Poast with other pesti-
cides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides),
additives, or fertilizers not recommended on this label.
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility
test in a quart-size jar. Add components in the same order
as listed in the Mixing Order section of this label.

3.3 cups (800 mL) of water from the intended source at
the source temperature. For other spray volumes, adjust
rates accordingly. For each dry product, add 2 tea-
spoons per pound of product per acre. For each liquid
product, add 1 teaspoon per pint of product per acre.
2. Always cap the jar and invert 10 times between compo-
nent additions.
3. When the components have all been added to the jar,
let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
4. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface;
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom; or a thick
(clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that
could clog spray nozzles.
Additives
To achieve consistent postemergence grass weed control
with Poast, always use a crop oil concentrate (COC) or
methylated/modified seed oil (MSO) as directed in Table 3.
In addition, ammonium sulfate (AMS) or urea ammonium
nitrate (UAN) will enhance activity on certain grass weed
species in certain crops (refer to the Use-specific
Information section).
NOTE: Using Poast with adjuvants at temperature above
90° F (or anytime the temperature exceeds 100° F regard-
less of the humidity) and relative humidity at or above 60%
may result in injury to many vegetable crops.
Consult your BASF Corporation representative or
Cooperative Extension agent for more information on the
use of additives.
Table 3. Additive Rate per Acre - Aerial and
Ground Applications
Additive Rate/Acre
AMS 2.5 pounds
COC 2.0 pints
MSO 1.5 pints
UAN 4.0 to 8.0 pints
Crop Oil Concentrate or
Methylated Seed Oil
COC or MSO must contain either a petroleum-oil or
vegetable-oil base and meet all of the following criteria.
(NOTE: Highly refined vegetable oils mix better than
unrefined vegetable oils.)
• Contain emulsifiers
• Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
• Be nonphytotoxic
• Provide good mixing quality in the compatibility jar test
• Show success in local use/experience
8 [Page 9 of 43]
Nitrogen Source
Add nitrogen to COC or MSO to improve grass weed con-
trol for species as listed in Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7.
Urea Ammonium Nitrate
(28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution)
• UAN may be used in addition to COC to improve grass
weed control.
• DO NOT use brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying
UAN.
Ammonium Sulfate
• AMS may be substituted for UAN.
• When liquid AMS is used, substitute 3.0 quarts of
8-8-0 analysis for 2.5 pounds of dry AMS.
• Use high-quality AMS (i.e., spray grade) to avoid plugging
spray nozzles. Other sources of nitrogen are not as
effective.
• If AMS is added directly to the spray tank, add it slowly
while agitating. Adding AMS too quickly may clog outlet
lines. Ensure AMS is completely dissolved before adding
any other products.
• AMS, if applied at less than 10 gallons per acre, may
cause potential precipitation and clogging.
NOTE: Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corro-
sive to galvanized, mild steel, and brass spray equipment,
rinse the entire spray system with water soon after use.

Application Instructions
Apply Poast® herbicide to actively growing grass weeds
by aerial or ground application at the rates and timing
(maximum height) listed in Table 5 (annual grass weeds),
Table 6 (perennial grass weeds), and Table 7 (early and
rescue treatments to control select annual grass weeds),
as instructed in the Use-specific Information section of
this label. For small area application or spot application,
refer to Table 8.
NOTE: The most effective control will be achieved by
applying postemergence applications of Poast early in the
growing season, when grass weeds are small. Poast may
not be effective on grass weeds that have grown taller
than the maximum heights listed.
Apply Poast to the foliage of grass weeds uniformly and
completely; large leaf canopies shelter smaller grass
weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage.
DO NOT spray to the point of runoff.
9 [Page 10 of 43]
Irrigation
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before
application of Poast® herbicide to ensure active grass
weed growth.
Cleaning Application Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
manufacturers directions, followed by triple rinsing the
equipment before and after applying Poast.
Mixing Order
Maintain agitation throughout mixing and application.
1. Water - Fill tank 3/4 full of clean water and start
agitation.
2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
after each component has been added.
3. 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.
4. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fer-
tilizers such as AMS or UAN)
5. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables,
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or
suspo-emulsions)
6. Water-soluble products
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as Poast or COC)
8. Remaining quantity of water
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
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 making application decisions.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift
to unprotected persons; to food, forage, or other plantings
that might be damaged; or to crops that would then be
unfit for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
The following drift management requirements must be fol-
lowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial
applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements
DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses,
or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or
rotor blade diameter.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
airstream and never point downward more than
45 degrees.
Where a state has more stringent regulations, they must
be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and
take into account the information covered in the Spray
Drift Reduction Advisory Information section of this
label.
Ground Application Methods and
Equipment (Broadcast)
• Apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above
ground or crop canopy.
• DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from target
area or when wind speed is greater than 10 mph.
• DO NOT use selective application equipment such as
recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators.
Water Volume. Use 5 to 20 gallons of spray solution per
acre. In Region 1 (the West and High and Rolling Plains
Region; refer to Regional Descriptions ), DO NOT use
less than 10 gallons of spray solution per acre.
Spray Pressure. Use 40 to 60 PSI (measured at the
boom, not at the pump or in the line). When crop foliage
and grass weed foliage are dense, use a maximum of
20 gallons of water per acre and 60 PSI.
Application Equipment. Use standard high-pressure
pesticide flat fan or hollow cone nozzles spaced up to
20 inches apart. DO NOT use flood, whirl chamber, or
controlled droplet applicator nozzles because erratic cov-
erage can cause inconsistent grass weed control. To
control tall grass weeds, such as volunteer corn, the boom
should be high enough to cover the entire plant. Refer to
the nozzle manufacturers directions for recommended
height. When a crop, such as cotton, is 24 inches or taller
and the grass weeds are below the crop canopy, use drop
nozzles to ensure good coverage of grass weeds.
Ground Application Methods and
Equipment (Banding)
• Poast may be applied by banding to control annual
grass weeds.
• DO NOT make banding applications to control perennial
grass weeds.
• For banding applications, follow the directions in the
Ground Application Methods and Equipment
(Broadcast) section of this label.
When applying Poast by banding, use the following for-
mulas to calculate the amount of herbicide and water
volume needed:

Use-specific Information
Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Sainfoin
(dry and undried)
• PHI
- Hay (dry): 14 days before cutting
- Forage (undried): 7 days before grazing, feeding, or
cutting
• Maximum Single Application Rate
- Hay (dry) and Forage (undried): 2.5 pints/acre
• Maximum Annual Application Rate
- Hay (dry) and Forage (undried): 6.5 pints/acre
• There are no livestock grazing or feeding restrictions in
alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, or sainfoin.
• Aerial and ground application allowed.
Poast® herbicide may be applied to seedling or estab-
lished alfalfa grown for hay, silage, green chop, direct
grazing, or seed. Apply Poast before mowing for the best
control of annual grass weeds. Mowed grass weeds may
form large crowns and could require repeat applications
for control.
NOTE: In alfalfa, the addition of ammonium sulfate (AMS)
or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) will enhance activity on
certain grass weed species.
Irrigated Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Trefoil, and
Sainfoin
• The timing of irrigation is important to achieve optimum
grass weed control.
• Poast application 2 to 4 days after irrigation is most
effective because:
- Grass weeds have resumed active growth.
- Grass weeds have less chance to grow too large.
- Later applications allow plants to begin to canopy,
which interferes with spray coverage.
• Irrigation shortly after application (e.g., 2 days) can be
effective, but more consistent control is obtained when
irrigation is made before application.
Annual Grass Weed Control
• Apply Poast at the rate and timing (maximum height)
indicated in Table 5 and Table 7.
• If grass weeds have been cut, apply after 2 to 4 inches
of regrowth (so there will be enough leaf area for absorp-
tion) and before exceeding maximum height (refer to
Table 5 and Table 7).
• Apply before plant canopies cover annual grass weeds
and interfere with spray coverage. NOTE: Timing appli-
cations to after a cutting following an irrigation or rainfall
will allow grass weeds to regrow to a treatable size.
• Spray spring-germinating and summer-germinating
grass weeds as early in the season as possible.
• Spray fall-germinating grass weeds in the fall soon after
they begin growing but before any killing frost.
Perennial Grass Weed Control
• Poast effectively controls or suppresses perennial grass
weeds listed in Table 6. However, a program of repeat
applications will usually provide the best results.
• The most economical way of controlling perennial grass
weeds is to disk the field before stand establishment to
thoroughly fragment rhizomes or stolons.
• In summer and fall seedings, cool-season grass weeds
(e.g., perennial ryegrass, quackgrass, wirestem muhly)
can become competitive under cool fall conditions. Fall
applications will reduce late-season growth and limit
accumulation of nutrient reserves in roots and rhizomes.
• In established stands, apply in the spring when condi-
tions favor active growth and before storage tissues have
increased their nutrient reserves.
• Make additional applications on any grass regrowth in
later cuttings.

- Grass weeds have less chance to grow too large.
- Later applications allow plants to begin to canopy,
which interferes with spray coverage.
• Irrigation shortly after application (e.g., 2 days) can be
effective, but more consistent control is achieved when
irrigation is made before application.
Annual Grass Weed Control
• Apply Poast at the rate and timing (maximum height)
indicated in Table 5 and Table 7.
• If grass weeds have been cut, apply after 2 to 4 inches
of regrowth (so there will be enough leaf area for absorp-
tion) and before exceeding maximum height (refer to
Table 5 and Table 7).
• Apply before plant canopies cover grass weeds and
interfere with spray coverage. NOTE: Timing applications
to after a cutting following an irrigation or rainfall will allow
grass weeds to regrow to treatable size.
• Spray spring-germinating and summer-germinating
grass weeds as early in the season as possible.
• Spray fall-germinating grass weeds in the fall soon after
they begin growing, but before any killing frost.
Perennial Grass Weed Control
• Poast effectively controls or suppresses perennial grass
weeds listed in Table 6. However, a program of repeat
applications will usually provide the best results.
• For the most economical perennial grass weed control,
disk the field before stand establishment to thoroughly
fragment rhizomes or stolons.
• In summer and fall seedings, cool-season grass weeds
(e.g., perennial ryegrass, quackgrass, wirestem muhly)
can become competitive under cool fall conditions. Fall
applications will reduce late-season growth and limit
accumulation of nutrient reserves in roots and rhizomes.
• In established stands, apply in the spring when condi-
tions favor active growth and before storage tissues have
increased their nutrient reserves.
• Make additional applications on any grass regrowth in
the later cuttings.

ner inconsistent with this labeling.
READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING THIS
PRODUCT.
Poast
® herbicide is a selective systemic grass killer to
eliminate existing weedy grasses growing in and around
plant beds, landscapes, and individual shrubs and trees
(see Tolerant Plants). Poast can be used through a
hose-end sprayer according to the directions of the spray-
er used or through a tank-type sprayer.
Poast can also be used around listed fruit and vegetable
areas (see Table 2) wherever listed weedy grasses occur.
Use only tank-type sprayers.
3 [Page 31 of 43]
Weedy Grasses Controlled
Poast® herbicide kills most annual and hard-to-kill
perennial grasses up to 1-foot high, including the following
examples, in one or two applications. Younger, actively
growing seedling weeds are more easily killed than older,
mature, well- established grassy weeds that may require a
repeat application for control. Adding oil concentrate may
help control grassy weeds.
Barnyardgrass Junglerice
Bermudagrass Lovegrass
Broadleaf signalgrass Orchardgrass, seedling
Crabgrass, large Quackgrass
Crabgrass, smooth Tall fescue seedling
Fall panicum Texas panicum
Foxtail, giant Shattercane/Wildcane
Foxtail, green Wild proso millet
Foxtail, yellow Wirestem muhly
Goosegrass Witchgrass
Johnsongrass, seedling Woolly cupgrass
Johnsongrass, rhizome
NOTE: This product does not control sedge (including
nutsedge or nutgrass), annual bluegrass, or broadleaf
weeds. Red fescue, chewings fescue, hard fescue, and
dichondra turfs are also tolerant to Poast.
Application Timing
Apply when grassy weeds are actively growing, not exceed-
ing the minimum of days from application to harvest when
used on vegetables and fruits. Warm sunny weather will
accelerate systemic movement from leaves and stems
down to the roots to give complete kill. DO NOT mow or
cut off tops of weeds before spraying. DO NOT apply if
rainfall is expected within one hour following application.
Growth of treated grass stops soon after application. Grass
turns yellow and dies within one to three weeks depending
on the grass species, stage of growth and weather condi-
tions. Cool weather, drought, and heat stress slow activity.

One gallon of spray will treat 1800 square feet.
*
To prevent leaf burn of desirable plants, DO NOT use
oil concentrate when comfort index (temperature º F
+ humidity) exceeds 150.
Hose-end Sprayer Application
Water Dilution/Premixing Not Needed
Determine the area to treat in square feet. Pour 1 fluid
ounce Poast and 1 fluid ounce oil concentrate in the
hose-end sprayer bottle for each 1800 square feet treated.
Apply 1 fluid ounce per gallon. After application, wash the
sprayer with a dilute soap solution and rinse according to
the sprayer instructions. Take precautions to minimize
spray drift.
Water Dilution/Premixing Needed
Some hose-end applicators recommend premixing liquid
products with water before pouring into the sprayer bottle.
Read the hose-end sprayer instructions for treatments at
1 fluid ounce per 1800 square feet. Clean the sprayer after
use according to the sprayer instructions.
Tank Sprayer Application
Mix 1 fluid ounce Poast plus 1 fluid ounce oil concentrate
per 1 gallon water; spray to just wet the unwanted weedy
grasses. One gallon of spray will treat 1800 square feet.
Wash sprayer by flushing soapy water through the sprayer;
then flushing clean water through the sprayer.
IMPORTANT: For spot treating grassy weeds near lawns
and around sensitive plants, a tank-type sprayer is recom-
mended. Spray carefully to avoid spray or drift contact with
desirable plants. Setting nozzles at the lowest effective
height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. If drift
occurs, wash foliage immediately with water.
Flowers, Bedding Plants, Evergreens,
Shrubs, Trees and Ornamental
Groundcovers
Poast may be applied over the top of desirable plants
infested by weedy grasses, or as a directed spray to
weedy grasses at labeled rate. DO NOT exceed dosage
rate per gallon of spray. Most ornamental species tested
have been found tolerant to Poast (see Tolerant Plants
list). However, use with caution around the following plants
as they may be damaged if spray contacts foliage: azaleas
(var. snow), Japanese privet, potentilla, snow in summer,
red oak, white oak, and ornamental grass.
Poast may also be used on the following nonbearing food
plants. DO NOT apply within 1 year of harvest.
Avocados Plums
Dates Pomegranates
Figs Prunes
Olives
Fruits and Vegetables (use only with
tank-type sprayers)
Use Poast on the fruits and vegetables listed in
Table 2. Fruits and Vegetables . DO NOT apply on or
around any fruits and vegetables not listed on this label,
especially sweet corn. Apply on and around tolerant fruits
and vegetables with a tank-type sprayer only. A second
application may be made to all listed fruits and vegetables
except peanut, root vegetables, and strawberry.
The quantities presented in Table 1. Poast (concentrate)
and Oil Concentrate Dilution do not exceed the
4 [Page 32 of 43]
registered rates for the fruits and vegetables listed.
DO NOT exceed the quantities presented.
