Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality).

Dear Jordan Moseley:
|
||
|
||
The application referred to above, submitted under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
|
||
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable under FIFRA section 3(c)(5).
|
||
|
||
You must submit and/or cite all data required for registration/reregistration/registration review
|
||
of your product when the Agency requires all registrants of similar products to submit such
|
||
data.
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before
|
||
you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR
|
||
152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for
|
||
18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this
|
||
product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or
|
||
sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
|
||
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the
|
||
Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to
|
||
sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of
|
||
statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website
|
||
is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ

EPA Reg. No. 100-1059, 0F8890
|
||
Case No. 480154, 481609
|
||
from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find
|
||
or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or
|
||
claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred
|
||
to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
|
||
with FIFRA section 6.

Environmental Hazards
|
||
|
||
Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated
|
||
areas. This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses: 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 when disposing of
|
||
equipment washwater or rinsate. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift
|
||
from target area.
|
||
|
||
Non-Target Organism Advisory
|
||
|
||
This product is toxic plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-
|
||
target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the
|
||
forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to
|
||
minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
|
||
Fluazifop-P-butyl has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected
|
||
in groundwater. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils
|
||
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is
|
||
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water.
|
||
|
||
This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff
|
||
for several months or more after application. A level, welI-maintained vegetative buffer
|
||
strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including
|
||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of fluazifop-p-butyl from
|
||
runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
|
||
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Physical and Chemical Hazards
|
||
|
||
Combustible. DO NOT use or store near heat or open flame.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Read all label directions before using.
|
||
|
||
Fusion Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of annual and
|
||
perennial grass weeds in soybeans, cotton and highway rights-of-way. Fusion
|
||
Herbicide provides effective control of grass weeds in conventional tillage, minimum
|
||
tillage, and no-till plantings. Fusion Herbicide may be applied for control of emerged
|
||
grass weeds before, during or after planting or after harvest of soybeans or cotton.
|
||
Fusion Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges (nutgrass).
|
||
|
||
-7-
|
||
|
||
Fusion Herbicide is a systemic herbicide which moves from the treated foliage into the
|
||
shoots, roots, rhizomes, stolons, and growing points (meristematic regions) of treated
|
||
grass weeds.
|
||
|
||
Rainfastness - Since Fusion Herbicide is rapidly absorbed by the grass foliage, rain or
|
||
irrigation occurring one hour or more after application will not affect the activity of Fusion
|
||
Herbicide. When tank mixing with broadleaf herbicides, observe the rainfast statement
|
||
of the most restrictive label.
|
||
|
||
Control Symptoms - Growth of treated grass weeds stops soon after application.
|
||
Symptoms include loss of vigor, yellowing and/or reddening, and eventual death of the
|
||
treated grass plant. Symptoms are generally observed within one week after treatment,
|
||
depending on grass weed species and environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
Scout and know your field
|
||
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
|
||
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
|
||
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all
|
||
weeds present.
|
||
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and
|
||
growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct
|
||
timing for the weeds present in the field.
|
||
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
|
||
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed
|
||
control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
|
||
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
|
||
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
|
||
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for
|
||
control of emerged weeds.
|
||
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior
|
||
to leaving fields.
|
||
Difficult to control weeds
|
||
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that
|
||
allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different
|
||
management practices.
|
||
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
|
||
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence
|
||
herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action
|
||
effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
|
||
DO NOT overuse the technology
|
||
• DO NOT use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the
|
||
same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide
|
||
with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the
|
||
difficult to control weeds.
|
||
|
||
-8-
|
||
Scout and inspect fields following application
|
||
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
|
||
• Scout fields 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 non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
|
||
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is
|
||
suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an
|
||
effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed
|
||
production.
|
||
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
|
||
• DO NOT allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as
|
||
tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest
|
||
weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed
|
||
production.
|
||
Resistant Weeds
|
||
• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension
|
||
agent to determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product
|
||
are present in your area. DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being
|
||
controlled by multiple modes of action. Premixes are intended to broaden the
|
||
spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by only
|
||
one of the active ingredients in this product. If resistant biotypes have been
|
||
reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled timing, and
|
||
tank-mix with an additional different mode of action product so there are multiple
|
||
effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
|
||
Thorough coverage of all grass weed foliage is important for good activity. Optimum
|
||
weed control is achieved when young actively growing grass weeds are treated that are
|
||
not under stress from low soil moisture, extreme temperatures, low soil fertility,
|
||
mechanical, or chemical injury.
|
||
|
||
Spray Additives - Only crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactants and other adjuvants
|
||
cleared for use on growing crops may be used in spray mixture. Under dry conditions,
|
||
crop oil concentrate is the preferred adjuvant.
|
||
|
||
Always Add One of the Following:
|
||
|
||
• Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Add a non-phytotoxic crop oil concentrate or a once-
|
||
|
||
-9-
|
||
refined vegetable oil concentrate containing 15-20% approved emulsifier, at 0.5-1%
|
||
v/v (0.5-1 gal./100 gals.) in the finished spray volume for ground applications. For
|
||
aerial applications, add 1 pint of crop oil concentrate per acre.
|
||
|
||
• Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Add nonionic surfactant containing at least 75%
|
||
surface-active agent, at 0.25-0.5% v/v (1-2 qts./100 gals.) in the finished spray
|
||
volume for ground applications. For aerial application, add 1 pint of surfactant per
|
||
acre.
|
||
|
||
• Other Adjuvants - Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the
|
||
product meets the following criteria:
|
||
|
||
1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
|
||
2. Is nonphytotoxic to the target crop.
|
||
3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
|
||
4. Is supported locally for use with Fusion on the target crop through proven field
|
||
trials and through university and extension recommendations.
|
||
|
||
Always refer to the product label and follow directions concerning rates, target crops,
|
||
environmental effects including drought or weed stress, and use in tank mix with other

DIRECTIONS FOR GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Nozzle Selection - The use of flat fan nozzles will result in the most effective
|
||
application of Fusion Herbicide. Flood nozzles are generally not as good as flat fans
|
||
since they produce large uneven droplets. The use of nozzles other than flat fans may
|
||
result in reduced grass control due to inadequate coverage. DO NOT apply Fusion
|
||
Herbicide with recirculating sprayers, rope-wick applicators, controlled droplet
|
||
applicators (CDA) or any similar devices.
|
||
|
||
Spray Volume and Pressure - Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure
|
||
complete coverage of the target grasses. Apply in 5-40 gallons per acre of spray
|
||
mixture with spray pressures of 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip. When grass foliage is
|
||
dense, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed
|
||
foliage.
|
||
|
||
Band Applications - Use a minimum of two nozzles, one directed to each side of the
|
||
planted row. Application with a single nozzle directed over the top of the row is not
|
||
advised. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band applications.
|
||
|
||
When making band applications and cultivating in the same operation, position nozzles
|
||
in advance of the cultivation device. This will reduce dust in the spray area. Dust can
|
||
intercept the spray, reducing weed coverage resulting in less than adequate weed
|
||
control.
|
||
|
||
-10-
|
||
Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed for band treatment by the
|
||
following formulas:
|
||
|
||
Band width in inches X broadcast rate = Band herbicide rate
|
||
row width in inches per acre per acre
|
||
|
||
Band width in inches X broadcast volume = Band water volume
|
||
row width in inches per acre per acre
|
||
|
||
Band applications to perennial grasses are not advised, as reinfestation of the treated
|
||
band from the untreated middle may result.
|
||
|
||
Spot Treatments - Mix Fusion Herbicide and crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant
|
||
with water according to the amounts shown below. Spray to obtain thorough coverage,
|
||
but DO NOT spray to runoff. Re-treat if necessary.

USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, a minimum of 55
|
||
gallons spray solution must be used per acre.
|
||
|
||
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, DO NOT exceed a
|
||
maximum concentration of 0.01 pounds active ingredient per gallon application
|
||
solution.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Use sufficient spray volume to ensure complete coverage of target grasses. Apply
|
||
using a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. When grass foliage is dense, use a minimum of
|
||
10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage.
|
||
|
||
Application Timing - Best control of susceptible grasses is obtained when Fusion
|
||
Herbicide is applied to actively growing grasses before they exceed the listed growth
|
||
|
||
-11-
|
||
stages shown on this label. Refer to Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 for specific directions on use
|
||
rates and weed growth stages.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation - Cultivation of treated grasses is not advised within 7 days prior to or within
|
||
7 days after application of Fusion Herbicide as weeds may be put under stress resulting
|
||
in reduced weed control. Timely cultivation 2-3 weeks after applying Fusion Herbicide
|
||
may assist weed control.
|
||
|
||

|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative
|
||
canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
|
||
• If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath
|
||
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is
|
||
between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at
|
||
the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the
|
||
windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the
|
||
wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||
Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft
|
||
and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but
|
||
no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential
|
||
for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these
|
||
factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be
|
||
followed 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 outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed ¾ the
|
||
length of the wingspan or rotor.
|
||
|
||
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be
|
||
pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more
|
||
stringent regulations, they should be observed.
|
||
|
||
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in
|
||
the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information.
|
||
|
||
-13-
|
||
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. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
|
||
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see
|
||
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion section of this label).
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
ratePressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to
|
||
produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
|
||
• Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider
|
||
using nozzles designed to reduce drift
|
||
Boom Height
|
||
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
|
||
minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
Release Height
|
||
• 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.
|
||
|
||
Hand Held Technology Applications
|
||
• Take precautions to minimize drift.
|
||
|
||
Swath Adjustment
|
||
|
||
When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
|
||
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate
|
||
for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment
|
||
distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops,
|
||
etc.).
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
-14-
|
||
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce
|
||
effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature 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 applications during temperature
|
||
inversions.
|
||
|
||
PRODUCT USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
• Apply to actively growing grasses. Avoid application to grasses which are stressed
|
||
due to moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury.
|
||
|
||
• Apply at the directed rate to grasses at the listed growth stages as outlined in Tables
|
||
2, 3, 4 and 5.
|
||
|
||
• Apply when the first grass weed species in a mixed grass weed population reaches
|
||
the specified growth stage for treatment. Use the highest specified rate for grasses
|
||
in that population.
|
||
|
||
• Where irrigation is used as part of normal cropping practice, best results are usually
|
||
obtained when Fusion Herbicide is applied within 7 days after irrigation.
|
||
|
||
• Best perennial grass control can be obtained if rhizomes or stolons are cut up by
|
||
preplant tillage practices (disking, plowing, etc.) to stimulate maximum emergence of
|
||
grass shoots.
|
||
|
||
• Tank mixes of Fusion Herbicide with other pesticides, liquid fertilizers or other
|
||
additives except as specified on this label or on approved Syngenta supplemental
|
||
labels may result in tank mix incompatibility, unsatisfactory performance and/or crop
|
||
injury.
|
||
|
||
• Thoroughly clean spray tank with water and a commercial tank cleaner before and
|
||
after each use.
|
||
|
||
PRODUCT USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
• DO NOT plant corn within 6 months after the last application of Fusion Herbicide or
|
||
illegal residues may occur.
|
||
• DO NOT plant any other crop not listed on this label within 12 months after the last
|
||
|
||
-15-
|
||
application of Fusion Herbicide or illegal residues may occur.
|
||
• DO NOT apply Fusion Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• DO NOT apply Fusion Herbicide if rainfall is expected within 1 hour.
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than 1.125 pounds of fluazifop-p-butyl per acre per year
|
||
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, a minimum of 55
|
||
gallons spray solution must be used per acre.
|
||
• For applications made by mechanically-pressurized handgun, DO NOT exceed a
|
||
maximum concentration of 0.01 pounds active ingredient per gallon application
|
||
solution.

||
restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
|
||
mixture.
|
||
|
||
Fusion can be used sequentially or in tank mix with one or more of the following:
|
||
Basagran®, Pursuit® Herbicide, Classic®** Herbicide, Cobra®, Flexstar®, Flexstar GT,
|
||
Gramoxone® SL 3.0, or Roundup® brands.
|
||
|
||
-20-
|
||
* Fusion at 4 fl oz./A plus Pursuit for volunteer corn and shattercane only.
|
||
** If the grass population consists mainly of yellow foxtail, barnyardgrass, woolly
|
||
cupgrass, field sandbur, smooth or large crabgrass, Texas panicum, broadleaf
|
||
signalgrass or red rice and conditions are less than optimum (see footnote 2,
|
||
Table 2), a sequential application is advised to provide satisfactory
|
||
performance.
|
||
*** Fusion + 2,4-D (LVE) tank mix at 4-8 fl. oz./A + 0.5 lb. AE/A may be used as a
|
||
preplant treatment for the control of giant foxtail and fall panicum and broadleaf
|
||
weeds as specified on the 2,4-D label. Use the higher rate of Fusion on grasses
|
||
greater than 2 inches. The tank mix must be used with a crop oil concentrate.
|
||
|
||
See tank mix table in the appendix for additional information related to tank mix partners
|
||
|
||
Under certain conditions, the mixture of Fusion with one or more of the above-
|
||
mentioned broadleaf herbicides may cause a reduction in grass activity.
|
||
|
||
For sequential applications, allow 2 to 3 days after the application of Fusion before
|
||
applying a broadleaf herbicide or mixture. In case the broadleaf herbicide or mixture is
|
||
applied first, apply Fusion when the grass weeds begin to develop new leaves
|
||
(generally around 7 days).
|
||
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer (28% UAN or similar) may be added to the spray mixture up to
|
||
4 gallons per 100 gallons (4% v/v). Dry nitrogen fertilizer (ammonium sulfate) may be
|
||
added up to 4 lbs. product per acre. Liquid and dry nitrogen fertilizers must not be used
|
||
as a substitute for crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant in the spray mixture.
|
||
|
||
Always read and follow the application directions, restrictions and limitations for all
|
||
products whether used alone or in a tank mix. The most restrictive labeling of any
|
||
product used applies in tank mixtures.
|
||
|
||
Note: Tank mix applications sometimes have resulted in reduced grass weed control
|
||
and possible increases in crop injury as compared to the products used alone. If grass
|
||
regrowth occurs following an application of the tank mix or an additional flush of grasses
|
||
emerge, make a second application of Fusion Herbicide to actively growing grass
|
||
weeds, as per the label specifications. When perennial grasses are the predominant
|
||
grass to be controlled, a sequential application is advised. Follow the directions for
|
||
sequential applications of Fusion Herbicide and the appropriate broadleaf herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Glyphosate-Resistant Soybeans (including Roundup Ready Soybeans) Tank Mix
|
||
|
||
Fusion Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate products (including Touchdown or
|
||
Roundup brands) for control of volunteer corn including volunteer glyphosate-resistant
|
||
corn in glyphosate-resistant soybeans (including Roundup Ready soybeans). Apply
|
||
Fusion Herbicide at 4-6 fl. oz./A. Use the 4 fl. oz./A rate only under the following
|
||
conditions:
|
||
|
||
-21-
|
||
• Application under favorable soil moisture and humidity conditions which normally
|
||
occur within a few days after rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
• Avoid extreme air temperatures.
|
||
• Application when volunteer corn is less than 12 inches tall.
|
||
• Application with 0.25% v/v crop oil concentrate (COC). This COC is in addition to
|
||
the additives required by the glyphosate product.
|
||
|
||
Use the higher rate if the above conditions do not exist.
|
||
|
||
Application of this tank mix on soybean varieties that have not been genetically modified
|
||
to resist glyphosate-based products will result in severe injury or plant death.
|
||
|
||

||
spray coverage is extremely important for optimum results.
|
||
|
||
BACKPACK SPRAY APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Apply 0.25 oz/gal of water and spray to wet prior to runoff. Good coverage is very
|
||
important for best results. A nonionic surfactant at 0.25% volume by volume is advised
|
||
for optimum results.
|
||
|
||
NOTES FOR ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL GRASS WEED CONTROL IN RIGHTS-OF-
|
||
WAY
|
||
|
||
1. Adequate soil moisture will enhance the performance of Fusion Herbicide.
|
||
Reduced control may occur with Fusion Herbicide applied under DROUGHT
|
||
STRESS conditions.
|
||
|
||
2. Rainfall within one hour following application may cause a reduction in grass
|
||
control.
|
||
|
||
3. Broadleaf herbicides containing 2,4-D may reduce the effectiveness of Fusion
|
||
Herbicide. Tank mixes with Telar®, Escort® or Garlon® are advised. Broadleaf
|
||
herbicides containing 2,4-D may be applied 5 days before or after a Fusion
|
||
Herbicide application.
|
||
|
||
4. Fusion Herbicide is a selective herbicide that controls grass weeds, and has little
|
||
or no activity on broadleaf plants or sedges.
|
||
|
||
5. Applications to bermudagrass may result in temporary injury. Bermudagrass
|
||
must be well established at the time of application or severe injury may result.
|
||
|
||
