Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking,
chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and
put on clean clothing.
Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
3.0 Environmental Hazards
Apply this product only as directed on the label.
Reporting Ecological Incidents
For guidance on reporting ecological incidents, including death, injury, or harm to plants and
animals, including bees and other non-target insects, see EPAs Pesticide Incident Reporting
website: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-incidents or call 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
3.1 Water Hazards DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface
water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean
high-water mark. DO NOT contaminate water by cleaning of
equipment or disposal of wastes.
3.2 Groundwater
Advisory
This chemical is known to leach through soil into groundwater
under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of
this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water
contamination.
3.3 Movement by
Surface Runoff or
Through Soil
DO NOT apply under conditions which favor runoff.
DO NOT apply if soil is saturated with water or when rainfall
that may exceed soil field capacity is forecast to occur within
48 hours.
Under some conditions, dicamba has the potential for runoff
several days after application. Poorly draining, wet, or erodible
soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent sensitive
areas are more prone to produce runoff. When used on erodible
soils, best management practices for minimizing runoff should
be employed. Consult your local Soil Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area.
DO NOT apply to impervious substrates such as paved or
highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential for
groundwater contamination. Groundwater contamination
may occur in areas where soils are permeable or coarse
and groundwater is near the surface. DO NOT apply to soils
classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter and where
groundwater depth is shallow. To minimize the possibility of
groundwater contamination, carefully follow the specified
rates as affected by soil type in the Crop-specific Information
section of this label.
3.4 Movement by
Water Erosion of
Treated Soil
Ensure treated areas have received at least 1/2-inch rainfall
(or irrigation) before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation
of other fields.
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation
system including sprinkler, drip, flood, or furrow irrigation.
3.5 Point Source
Management
To prevent point source contamination, DO NOT mix or load this
pesticide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells
and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams
and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. DO NOT
apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. This setback does
not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does
not apply to impervious pad or properly diked 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 sufficient capacity to contain all
product spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment
washwaters, 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: a)
back siphoning into wells, b) spills, or c) improper disposal of
excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates. Check valves or
anti-siphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment.

3.6 Run-off
Management
A variety of factors including soil type, slope, and weather
conditions (e.g., rainfall) can influence volume and intensity
of water running off the treated field. The applicator should
evaluate factors and make appropriate adjustments when
applying this product. Land management, agronomic practices,
field conditions, and application measures that reduce, to the
maximum extent practicable, runoff from treated fields, should
be implemented by land managers/users of this product.
Runoff/erosion mitigation is required. Refer to Section 10.0 Runoff
and Erosion Mitigations.
4.0 Physical Hazards
DO NOT store or heat near oxidizing agents as a hazardous chemical reaction may occur.

Application Equipment:
Application by air is prohibited.
Apply only using ground equipment.
Spray system equipment cleanout: Ensure entire sprayer system is properly
cleaned in accordance with Section 15.0 before and after application.
Droplet requirement: Apply this product with nozzles calibrated to apply coarse
or coarser droplets only in accordance with American Society of Agricultural &
Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572).
Spray boom height: Maximum boom height is 24 inches above target pest or crop canopy.
Ground speed: Do not allow application equipment to exceed 15 mph while applying this
product.
Environmental Conditions:
Wind speed: Apply when wind speed, measured at boom height, is between 3-10 mph.
DO NOT apply if wind speed is below 3 mph or above 10 mph.
Inversions: DO NOT make applications at night. Applications may only be made
starting one hour after sunrise and ending two hours before sunset. DO NOT apply
this product outside of this time frame.
DO NOT spray during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical
air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and
light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present,
inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or
an aircraft smoke 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.
Downwind Requirements:
Sensitive plants downwind: DO NOT apply if sensitive plants, as defined in Section
9.0 Spray Drift, are planted on an adjacent downwind field or area. If wind direction
shifts such that the wind is blowing toward adjacent sensitive plants or residential
areas, STOP the application until the wind is no longer blowing toward adjacent
sensitive plants or residential areas.
Downwind buffer: After determining no adjacent sensitive plants are downwind, the
applicator must maintain a 240-foot downwind buffer between the last treated row
and the nearest downwind field edge. The practices in the buffer reduction Table
9.2 may be used to reduce the size of the buffer. See Section 9.1 Spray Drift Buffer
Distance for more information.
Management of Runoff/Erosion:
DO NOT apply during rain.
DO NOT apply when soil in the area to be treated is saturated (if there is standing
water on the field or if water can be squeezed from soil).
Avoid making applications when rainfall is expected before the product has
sufficient time to dry (minimum 4 hours).
You must achieve a minimum of THREE runoff/erosion mitigation points for the

7.7 Weed Resistance and Integrated Programs
7.7 Weeds Resistance and Integrated Programs
The dicamba active ingredient in Stryax Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed
population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Stryax Herbicide and
other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population
if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance
management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
Limit cultivation and/or mechanical tillage within 7 days after application, as this
may result in reduced efficacy and promote regrowth of treated weeds.
Rotate the use of Stryax Herbicide within a growing season and among growing seasons
with different herbicide groups (other than Group 4) that control the same weeds.
Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different herbicide group if such use is
permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available,
use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s)
equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension
service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is
currently less prone to resistance.
Implement an integrated weed management program that guides herbicide use through
regular scouting and historical data on herbicide applications and performance. The
program should also incorporate tillage or other mechanical controls, cultural
practices (such as increased crop seeding rates and precision fertilizer timing to
benefit crops over weeds), biological methods (like weed-suppressive crops), or other
complementary strategies such as crop rotation.
Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control
a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same
species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by
an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing
or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting
and tillage equipment when moving between fields and by planting clean seed.
If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product,
switch to another management strategy or herbicide with an effective mode of
action, if available, and contact Bayer at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for
specific crops and weed biotypes.
For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer at 1-866-99BAYER
(1-866-992-2937).
Management of Dicamba-Resistant Biotypes
Appropriate testing is critical to determine if a weed is resistant to dicamba. Contact
your Bayer representative (1-866-99BAYER) to determine if resistance in any particular
weed biotype has been confirmed in your area or visit www.iwilltakeaction.com or
www.weedscience.org.
The following agronomic practices can reduce the spread of confirmed dicamba-resistant
biotypes, particularly if pursued as soon as signs of resistance are observed:
If a naturally occurring resistant biotype is present in your field, this product may
be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriately labeled herbicide with a
different mode of action to achieve control (See Section 14.0 Tank Mixing Directions
for more information).
Cultural and mechanical control practices (e.g., crop rotation or tillage) can also be
used as appropriate.
Scout treated fields after herbicide applications and control weed escapes,
including resistant biotypes, before they set seed.

DO NOT apply at temperatures ≥ 95° F . If temperatures are forecasted to
be 85 - <95° F on the day of treatment or the day after treatment, DO NOT
treat more than 50% of the total number of dicamba-tolerant soybean
AND dicamba-tolerant cotton acres managed by the grower within the
county within one day. See Section 11.0 Mandatory Volatility Mitigations
for more information.
8.G.8
Temperature
inversions
DO NOT make applications at night. Applications may only be made
starting one hour after sunrise and ending two hours before sunset. DO
NOT apply this product outside of this time frame.
DO NOT spray during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions
restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to
remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions.
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures
with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light
to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into
the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however,
if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement
of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke 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.
8.G.9 Spray
drift buffer
DO NOT apply if sensitive plants are planted on an adjacent downwind
field or area. If wind direction shifts such that the wind is blowing toward
adjacent sensitive plants or residential areas, STOP the application until the
wind is no longer blowing toward adjacent sensitive plants or residential
areas. See section 9.0 for a list of sensitive plants.
After determining no adjacent sensitive plants are downwind, the applicator
must maintain a 240-foot downwind buffer between the last treated row
and the nearest downwind field edge unless applying a qualifying practice
listed in the table in Section 9.2 Spray Drift Buffer Reductions below. More
information and definitions of the qualifying practices can be found at
https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/mitigation-menu-measure-descriptions.
After determining your total % reduction in the buffer distance, determine
the distance that may be reduced in feet, subtract that distance from the
240-foot buffer distance, then round to the nearest 5-foot increment for
your final buffer distance.
No downwind buffer is required if:
Use of the buffer reduction options results in a buffer reduction ≥100%.
Use of the buffer reduction options results in a buffer <10 feet, after
rounding to the nearest 5 ft increment.
8.G.10 Buffer
distance to
well
DO NOT apply this pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. This setback
does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells.
9.0 Spray Drift
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The
spray system and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
The applicator is responsible for considering these factors when making application
decisions to avoid spray drift onto nontarget areas. Applicators must follow application
requirements to avoid spray drift hazards, including those found in this labeling
and applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. Where states have more
stringent regulations, they must be observed.
All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
appropriate carriers.
DO NOT allow herbicide solution to drip, physically drift, or splash onto desirable
vegetation because injury to desirable broadleaf plants could result. The following physical
spray drift management requirements must be followed.
DO NOT apply if sensitive plants are planted on an adjacent downwind field or area.
DO NOT spray this product when wind is blowing toward adjacent sensitive plants,
as defined below.
It is important for the applicator to be aware that wind direction may vary during the
application. If wind direction shifts such that the wind is blowing toward adjacent
sensitive plants or residential areas, STOP the application until the wind is no longer
blowing toward adjacent sensitive plants or residential areas.
Sensitive plants in agricultural and/or residential settings include, but are not limited to:
• Non-Dicamba Tolerant (DT) soybeans
• Non-DT cotton
• Cucumber and melons, including all members of EPA Crop Group 9: Cucurbit
Vegetables
• Flowers
• Fruit trees
• Grapes
• Ornamentals including greenhouse-grown and shadehouse-grown broadleaf
plants and ornamental plants in a residential area
• Peanuts
• Peas and beans, including all members of EPA Crop Group 6: Legume Vegetables
(Succulent or Dried) and EPA Crop Group 6-22: Legume Vegetable Group with the
exception of DT soybeans
• Peppers, tomatoes, and other fruiting vegetables, including all members of EPA
Crop Group 8-10: Fruiting Vegetable Group
• Potato
• Sugar beets
• Sweet potato
• Tobacco
Sensitive crop registries can provide additional information about sensitive crops and
sensitive areas. The applicator must check an applicable sensitive crop/specialty crop
registry; and document that the applicator surveyed all adjacent fields for any sensitive
areas, sensitive crops, or residential areas surrounding the field prior to application.
See Section 7.4 Record Keeping for details. If you have questions regarding sensitive
crop registries, check https://fieldwatch.com/ prior to application.

9.1 Spray Drift Buffer Distance
9.1 Spray Drift Buffer Distance
After determining no adjacent sensitive plants are downwind, the applicator must maintain
a 240-foot downwind buffer between the last treated row and the nearest downwind field
edge. The practices in the buffer reduction table, Table 9.2 below, may be used to reduce
the size of the buffer. More information and definitions of the qualifying practices can be
found at https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/mitigation-menu-measure-descriptions. After
determining your total % reduction in the buffer distance, determine the distance that may
be reduced in feet, subtract that distance from the 240-foot buffer distance, then round to
the nearest 5-foot increment for your final buffer distance.
No downwind buffer is required if:
Use of the buffer reduction options results in a buffer reduction ≥100%.
Use of the buffer reduction options results in a buffer <10 feet, after rounding to
the nearest 5 ft increment.

**Buffer reduction measures are additive in nature. For example, a 50% reduction
in buffer distance for one measure plus a 15% reduction in buffer for another
measure, when used in combination, results in an overall 65% reduction in an
identified buffer.
The following managed areas may be included in the buffer if they are immediately
adjacent/contiguous to the treated field in the downwind direction and people are
not present in those areas (including inside closed buildings/structures). Buffer
reduction options do not apply to these managed areas, as they are included in the
buffer distance.
• Untreated portions of the treated field.
• Roads, paved or gravel surfaces, mowed areas adjacent to field, and areas
of bare ground from recent plowing or grading that are contiguous with the
treated area.
• Areas present and/or maintained as a drift buffer reduction measure as listed
on the buffer reduction table above. Examples include vegetative windbreaks
and hedgerows.
• On-farm contained irrigation water resources that are not connected to
adjacent water bodies, including on-farm irrigation canals and ditches, water
conveyances, managed irrigation/runoff retention basins, farm ponds, and
tailwater collection ponds.
• Areas present and/or maintained as a runoff/erosion measure as listed on EPAs
Mitigation Menu website. Examples include vegetative filter strips (VFS), field
borders, grassed waterways, vegetated ditches, riparian areas, managed/constructed
wetlands, or other areas of intentional habitat improvement.
9.3 Spray Drift Management
9.3.1 MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
DO NOT apply if sensitive plants are planted on an adjacent downwind field or area.
If wind direction shifts such that the wind is blowing toward adjacent sensitive plants
or residential areas, STOP the application until the wind is no longer blowing toward
adjacent sensitive plants or residential areas. Refer to section 9.0 for list of sensitive
plants in agricultural and/or residential settings.
During application, the Sustained Wind Speed, as defined by the National Weather
Service (standard averaging period of 2 minutes), must register between 3 and 10 miles
per hour. DO NOT apply if wind speed is below 3 mph or above 10 mph.
Wind speed and direction must be measured on location using a windsock or
anemometer (including systems to measure wind speed or velocity using application
equipment). This information must be measured before the application begins and
every time the spray tank is refilled. Wind direction may vary during the application.
Downwind buffers must be adjusted according to changing wind direction.
Wind speed must be measured at the release height or higher, in an area free from
obstructions such as trees, buildings, and farm equipment.
DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 2 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
Certified applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver coarse or coarser
droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers
Standard 572 (ASAE S572).
Inversions:
• DO NOT make applications at night. Applications may only be made starting
one hour after sunrise and ending two hours before sunset. DO NOT apply this
product outside of this time frame.
• DO NOT spray during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical
air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover
and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into
the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not
present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground
source or an aircraft smoke 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.
9.3.2 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE CERTIFIED APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
Be aware of nearby non-target sites and environmental conditions.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest
droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce
spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly
or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size:
• 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 recommended 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.
9
BOOM HEIGHT
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
HOODED (OR SHIELDED) SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using
hooded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform
deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce
effects of evaporation.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. Certified applicators need to be
familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
MEASURING WIND SPEED AND WIND DIRECTION
Best Management Practices for measuring wind speed and direction of wind
direction:
• Applicators should check and acquire the predicted wind speed and direction for
the application site within 12 hours prior to conducting applications to determine
the time periods wind speed is likely to fall outside the permissible range.
• Applicators should reassess wind speed and direction at the application site at
least every hour while applications are in progress.
• Measuring wind speed and direction can be done by:
° Relying on equipment on the application equipment that measures wind
speed.
° Using a tower anemometer with telemetry or handheld anemometer. Users
should read user manual on how to calibrate, operate and interpret the
output from an anemometer. Ground certified applicators should stop at
least every hour to take a reading with a tower anemometer with telemetry
or handheld anemometer. Some anemometers may have software that
would allow users to view wind measurements in real time while making an
application, and, those cases, certified applicators would not have to stop to
take measurements.
° Using a windsock. Wind can be estimated with a windsock using the stripes
on a windsock. The certified applicator should consult the user manual for
the windsock on wind speed estimation and direction of wind. Certified
applicators should look at the sock at least every hour to estimate wind
speed and direction.
° Using an aircraft smoke system. Laying down several puffs of smoke along
different lines using an aircraft smoke system can provide an accurate
view of what the wind speed and direction for the application.
• Checking behind the spray rig at least every hour to see if the spray has changed
direction from when the application started.
10.0 Runoff and Erosion Mitigations
10.0 Runoff and Erosion Mitigations
DO NOT apply during rain.
DO NOT apply when soil in the area to be treated is saturated (if there is standing
water on the field or if water can be squeezed from soil).
Avoid making applications when rainfall is expected before the product has sufficient
time to dry (minimum 4 hours).
MANDATORY RUNOFF MITIGATION
Certified applicators must access and search Bulletins Live! Two (BLT) at
https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/bulletins within six months prior to or on the
day of the application to determine whether the application site falls within a
Pesticide Use Limitation Area (PULA). If you are located inside a PULA, follow
the instructions in the “Inside a PULA” section below and in the BLT bulletin.
If the application site falls outside of a PULA, follow the instructions in the
“Outside a PULA” section below.
Outside a PULA:
THREE mitigation points are required for all crops listed on this label. Follow the
steps below to determine which applications need to achieve points, determine
your eligibility for runoff/erosion mitigation relief, and determine options to achieve
mitigation points.
Inside PULAs:
SIX runoff/erosion mitigation points are required inside specific PULAs for all crop
uses. Follow the steps below to determine which applications need to achieve
the points, determine eligibility for runoff/erosion mitigation relief, and determine
options to achieve runoff/erosion mitigation points.
Steps to Achieve Points:
Step A. To achieve the runoff/erosion mitigation points specified above, visit EPAs
mitigation menu website (http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/mitigation-menu) to
determine which applications need to achieve points and for a full list of mitigation
and mitigation relief options.
Step B. Determine if you are eligible for runoff/erosion mitigation relief. Runoff/erosion
mitigation is NOT needed if certain field/application parameters are present at the
time of application (e.g ., subsurface or tile drains with controlled outlet, perimeter
berm systems, irrigation tailwater return systems, etc). Refer to the mitigation menu
for a complete list of field/application parameters.
Step C. If the application site does not meet the field/application parameters
specified on EPAs mitigation menu website, choose among the runoff/erosion
mitigation and/or runoff/erosion mitigation relief options on EPAs mitigation menu
website to meet or exceed the required points noted on this label before applying
this product.
Step D. To achieve runoff/erosion mitigation points for the application, the
mitigation and mitigation relief measures must be:
• Employed in accordance with the instructions and descriptions on EPAs
Mitigation Menu Website.
• In place during the application unless a different timing (such as before or
after application) is specifically provided in the measures description on EPAs
Mitigation Menu Website.
Step E. Additional restrictions may be present on the labeling or in bulletins—always
follow the most restrictive instructions across the labeling and any bulletins. If you
are located in an area where PULAs overlap, follow the most restrictive requirements
across all bulletins. When tank mixing, the most restrictive requirements must be
followed between all the tank-mixed products labeling and bulletins.
EPA may periodically update the Mitigation Menu Website, for example, by adding
new mitigation measures or updating a mitigation measure description.

Temperature Restrictions:
• On the date of application, certified applicator must obtain a daily high temperature
forecast as predicted by the NOAA/National Weather Service for the day of and
the day after application. Detailed National Weather Service forecasts for local
weather conditions may be obtained on-line at www.weather.gov . In addition, the
certified applicator must check the temperature at boom height in the field when
an application begins and every time the spray tank is refilled. If the measured
temperature is higher than forecasted for the day, the certified applicator must follow
the label directions corresponding to that measured temperature. If the measured
temperature is below the forecasted temperature, application must follow label
directions corresponding to the temperatures forecasted. The highest temperature
on the day of application or forecasted for the day after application is the value that
must be used to determine the label restrictions for that application.
• If temperatures are forecasted to be 95˚F or above either on the day of treatment
or the day after treatment, DO NOT apply this product. If the measured temperature
at the application site is above 95˚F at any point during the planned day of
application, DO NOT begin application or STOP application if it has already begun.
• If temperatures are forecasted to be 85-<95˚F at the application site either on the
day of treatment or the day after treatment, application of this product is limited
to 50% or less of the total number of acres of dicamba-tolerant soybean AND
dicamba-tolerant cotton under production by the grower within the county. For
purposes of this label, “grower” is defined as the individual or business entity
managing the crop on the land on which the product is being applied. DO NOT treat
additional/remaining dicamba-tolerant soybean AND dicamba-tolerant cotton acres
managed by the grower within the county the day of application or the day after
application. Remaining untreated 50% of DT crop acreage managed by the grower
may be treated on the third day after initial treatment. All label restrictions including
temperature-based restrictions apply to subsequent treatments.

at a concentration of 0.3% volume-to-volume (v/v) of the final spray tank volume
and a qualified pH buffering Volatility Reduction Agent (VRA). The user must check
http://www.stryaxapplicationrequirements.com for a list of qualified VRAs and VRA
application rates.
DO NOT use PVA (polyvinyl acetate) packets in a tank mix with products that contain
boron or release free chlorine. The resultant reaction of PVA and boron or free chlorine
is a plastic that is not soluble in water or solvents.
DO NOT tank mix ammonium sulfate (AMS) or any products that contain AMS with
Stryax Herbicide.
14.1 Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.
• For 15 gallons per acre spray volume, use 2.5 cups (591.5 mL) of water. For other
spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source
at the source temperature.
• Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order section below using
2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use rate per acre.
• Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions.
• When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for
15 minutes.
• 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 thick
(clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility
test with the addition 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, then do not mix the ingredients in the same tank.
14.2 Mixing Order
Always read and follow label directions for all products in the tank mixture. It is the
pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are
registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for
use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
1. Ensure application and mixing equipment are clean and in proper working order.
2. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of
clean water.
3. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
4. Drift Reducing Adjuvants (DRA).
5. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has
been added.
6. 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.
7. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension
concentrates, or suspo-emulsions).
8. Water-soluble products.
9. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable).
10. Water-soluble additives (when applicable).
11. Add remaining quantity of water.
Maintain constant agitation during application
15.0 Equipment Cleanout
The applicator must ensure that the spray system used to apply this product is clean
before using this product. Failure to properly clean the entire spray system can result
in inadvertent contamination of the spray system.
Inadvertent contamination can also occur in equipment used for bulk product handling
and mixing prior to use in the spray system. Care should be taken to reduce contamination
not only in the spray system but in any equipment used to transfer or deliver product.
For example, bulk handling and mixing equipment containing this product should be
segregated when possible to reduce potential for cross-contamination. Consider using
block and check valves to avoid backflow during transfer. Piping should be reviewed to
ensure there is not potential for product build-up. Dedicated nurse trucks and tender
equipment should be used when possible.
Contamination of the spray system may cause injury to non- dicamba-tolerant
soybeans and other sensitive crops. Clean equipment immediately after using this
product, using a triple rinse procedure as follows:
1. After spraying, drain the sprayer (including boom and lines) immediately. DO
NOT allow the spray solution to remain in the spray boom lines overnight prior to
flushing.
2. Fill tank with clean water (at least 10% volume) and flush tank, hoses, boom,
and nozzles. Ensure agitation for 15 minutes and then spray out solution through
boom. If equipped, open boom ends and flush.
3. Inspect and clean all strainers, screens, and filters.
4. Fill tank with clean water (at least 10% of volume) and prepare a cleaning
solution with a commercial detergent or sprayer cleaner or ammonia according
to the manufacturers directions.
5. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Start
agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at
least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
6. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning
solution.
7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning
solution after completing the above procedures.
8. Drain pump, filter, and lines.
9. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
10. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
11. Clean and wash off the outside of the entire sprayer and boom.
12. All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and federal
guidelines.
