Alternatively, such mixer/loaders may use closed mixing/loading systems without a respirator. A
closed system is one which removes the pesticide from its original container and transfers the
pesticide product through connecting hoses, pipes and couplings that are sufficiently tight to
prevent exposure of handlers to the pesticide product, except for the negligible escape associated
with normal operation of the system (40 CFR § 170.607(d)).
Exception: After this product has been diluted to 0.50% or less in water (i.e., the labeled rate for some
spot applications), applicators for AQUATIC SURFAC E APPLICATIONS must, at a minimum, wear (Note
Mixers and Loaders for this application method must still wear the personal protective equipment (PPE)
as described in the above section):
x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
x Shoes plus socks
x Waterproof gloves
x Protective eyewear
Exception: At a minimum, applicators for AQUATIC SU BSURFACE APPLICATIONS must wear (Note

Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this
products concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturers instructions for cleaning/maintaining
PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry.
Respirator fit testing, medical qualification, and training
Using a program that conforms to OSHAs requiremen ts (see 29 CFR Part 1910.134), employers must
verify that any handler who uses a respirator is:
x Fit-tested and fit-checked,
x Trained, and
x Examined by a qualified medical practitioner to ensure physical ability to safely wear the style of
respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practiti oner is a physician or other licensed health care
professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a respirator. The initial evaluation
consists of a questionnaire that asks about medical conditions (s uch as a heart condition) that
would be problematic for respirator use. If concer ns are identified, then additional evaluations,
such as a physical exam, might be necessary. The initial evaluation
must be done before respirator
use begins. Handlers must be reexamined by a qual ified medical practitioner if their health status
or respirator style or use-conditions change.
Upon request by local/state/federal /tribal enforcement personnel, employers must provide documentation
demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.
Engineering Control Statements
Mixers and loaders supporting aerial applications ar e required to use closed systems that provide dermal
and inhalation protection. The closed system must be used in a manner that meets the requirements listed
in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4)].
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements
listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for ag ricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
This product is a herbicide used to control weeds in the following sites:
x preharvest aid to desiccate labeled crops to facilitate harvesting
x labeled nonbearing crops
x noncrop or nonplanted areas on farms
x aquatic areas
x commercial greenhouses and nurseries
x dormant established turfgrass (bermudagrass, zoysiagrass nonfood or feed crop)
x landscape, industrial, recreational, commercial, residential, and public areas
x ornamental seed crops (flowers, bulbs, etc. excluding the state of California)
x turf renovation (all turf areas except commercial sod farms)
This product works by being absorbed by the weed, and, within a few days, the weed shows signs of dying.
Optimum results are seen if the weeds are young, actively growing, and free from stress.
To avoid injury to desired crops, ornamentals or de sirable plants, use caution to prevent drift during
application and clean all spray equipment thoroughly with water after use. Avoid application to muddy
water or disturbing the water during application that reduce weed control. To avoid reduced herbicidal
activity, do not use dirty or muddy water in preparing spray solutions of this product. Avoid application
under conditions of high wind, water flow, or wave action.
6
Do not allow sprays to come in contact with or drift to, foliage of ornamental plants or food crops.
Do not graze livestock on treated turf or feed treated thatch to livestock.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Mandatory Spray Drift Directions
Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
(ASABE S572.1).
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement up wind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Groundboom Applications
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
(ASABE S572.1).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
applications.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x 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.
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
x 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.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles.
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
7
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform
coverage. 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. When applying aerially to crops, do
not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
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.
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.
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.
Boom-less 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.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, this prod uct contains a Group 22 herbicide diquat dibromide. Any weed
population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to diquat dibr omide and other Group 22
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate th e weed population if these herbicides are used
repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and be come dominant in that field. Adequate control of
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary
to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 22 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different 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 resi stance-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.
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
historical information related to herbicide use and cr op rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other
8
mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties)
and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed po pulations 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) surv iving plants mixed with controlled
individuals of the same species. If resistance is susp ected, 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 fi elds by cleaning harvesti ng and tillage equipment
when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this
product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if
available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certifie d crop advisors 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 your Nufarm representative at 855-280-
6609.]
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides ap plied to individual fields to help obtain information
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or
extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. Do
not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of action. Co-formulated active
ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be
controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
* Failure to control a weed species normally cont rolled 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.
AGRICULTURAL USES
Apply this product to dessicate certain crops as a prehar vest aid to facilitate harvesting. This product can
also be applied as a general herbicide to control weeds in nonbearing crops and noncrop areas.
This product acts on contact with actively growing gr een plant tissue and for effective control, complete
coverage of all green plant tissue is required. Signs of herbicidal activity are usually apparent within a few
days of application. Improper application technique and/or application to large, stressed, or mowed weeds
will generally result in unacceptable control. Weeds that emerge after application of this product will not be
controlled or suppressed. Weeds that are established or larger than 6” my require retreatment.
NOTE: Cool (below 55°F) or cloudy, overcast weather will slow this product activity but will not affect
performance.
USE PRECAUTIONS
x Do NOT allow spray to contact or drift to desirable vegetation or severe plant injury or death will result.
x Do NOT use dirty or muddy water when diluting this product.
x Do NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
x Rain or irrigation occurring within 30 minutes of application negatively impacts herbicidal activity.
x Be sure to rinse all spray equipment thoroughly with water after use.
As with any dessicant consider the following before use:
9
x Premature application will result in the harvest of green seed
x Pod drop will increase during heavy winds following application
x Effects may be more pronounced with some varieties
The user of this product accepts the responsibility for:
x Knowing the sensitivity of the variety treated,
x Properly timing the application, and
x Accepting the risk of unfavorable weather conditions after application.
x Human flagging is prohibited
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product to newly emerged weeds while ac tively growing and before they become too large
(weeds 1 - 6 inches in height are easiest to control). Be sure to follow the specified rates listed in the
specific crop instructions below, using the higher rates when weeds are large or dense or when applying
for harvest aid and the crop vegetation is dense.
If weeds have been mowed or grazed (removing much of the green foliage) be sure to allow weeds to
regrow to a height of 2 - 4 inches before application. For harvest aid applications, refer to the specific crop
instructions below for application timing specifications.
NOTE: Because dust can coat target surfaces and re duce product activity, avoid applying in extremely
dusty conditions (e.g., dust caused by high winds or the passage of equipment tires).
Spray Equipment
Be sure to follow the specific instructions for minimum spray volumes listed in the crop specific instructions
below. Note that the specifications are minimum volumes only, and increase spray volumes as necessary
to obtain complete coverage of the target weed or pl ant (without causing foliage runoff). For best results
use flat fan nozzles. Other nozzles provide less than complete coverage resulting in reduced performance.
NOTE: When spraying less than 20 gals. of spray carrier per acre, target weeds must not exceed 6 inches
in height.
Adjuvants
When applying this product, be sure to always add one of the following adjuvants:
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Add a NIS containing 75% or greater surface active agent at 0.06-0.5% v/v
(1/2 4 pts. per 100 gals.) of the finished spray volume.
Other Adjuvants - Use adjuvants other than NIS but that meet the following criteria:
x Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
x Is compatible when mixed with this product (compatibility can be determined using a jar test).
x Is supported locally for use with this product thro ugh proven field trials and through university and
extension recommendations.

AQUATIC AND NONCROP USES
New York Not for Sale or Use in New York State without Supplemental Special Local Needs
Labeling.
This product is used to control aquatic weeds in public waters such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes,
bayous, drainage ditches, canals, streams, rivers, and other slow-moving or quiescent bodies of water. Do
not apply to water that is moving or if outflow leads to public waters (i.e., apply only to still water ponds,
lakes and drainage ditches).
Optimum control of submersed weeds is obtained by applying this product when the weeds are actively
growing (photosynthesizing), typically when water temperatures are about 50°F or more (this occurs usually
in the Spring or early Summer).
13
Precautions and Restrictions:
x Obtain all necessary approval and/or permits before application if required. Consult the responsible
state agencies (i.e., Fish and Game Agencies, State Water Conservation authorities, or Department of
Natural Resources).
x Apply this product by those applicators certified for aquatic pest control authorized by the State or local
government, Federal or State public agencies su ch as Water Management District personnel and
municipal officials, and by Corps of Engineers.
x For water bodies containing dense weeds, apply this pr oduct to only 1/3 to ½ of the water body area at
one time. If a repeat application is required, wait for 14 days. Using this product in this manner will
prevent loss of oxygen in the water body which occurs when dead weeds begin to decompose which
often leads to suffocation of fish.
x Do not apply this product in areas where commercial processing of fish which produces fish protein
concentrate or fish meal is practiced. Prior to application, coordinate application with and obtain
approval from local and/or State authorities.
x Use water treated with this product only after the specified number of days have passed after
application (refer to the table below for these water us e restrictions). Alternatively, use the water at a
different time after application only if an approved assay (ex. PAM II Spectrometric Method) shows that
no more than the designated maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) of 0.02 mg/L (ppm) of diquat
dibromide (calculated as the cation) is present in the water.
x Do not apply this product on cattails ( Typha spp.) as a target weed species.
x If posting is required by your St ate or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulations for
specific details.
x Do not apply this product at a rate greater than 2.5 lb ai/surface-acre per application for the control of
floating, emergent, or marginal vegetation. Do not apply this product at a rate greater than 1 lb ai/acre-
foot per application for the control of submersed weeds.
x Waters treated with this product may be hazardou s to non-target aquatic organisms. Treatment of
aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead biomass. This oxygen
loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not use products
containing diquat dibromide to treat more than ½ of the water body (excluding water infrastructure and
constructed conveyances such as drainage canals, ditches and pipelines or intakes and aqueducts for
drinking water or irrigation use) to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation. Wait at least
7 days between diquat dibromide applications to adjacent treatment areas within the same waterbody.
Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated
areas. Consult with the state or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before
applying this product to public waters to determine if a permit is required.

Application Directions
Subsurface Applications : For submersed weeds, especially Hydrilla, that have reached the
waters surface, apply this product in a water carrier or an invert emulsion through boom trailing hoses
carrying nozzle tips that direct the dilute spray below the water surface to ensure adequate weed coverage.
Bottom Placement: For submersed weeds (ex. Hydrilla, Bladderwort, or Coontail) that have
reached the water surface and/or where the water is slowly moving through the weed growth, apply this
product in an invert emulsion carrier with weighted ho ses that injects the diluted spray solution near the
bottom. Adding a copper-based algaecide improves control. Alternatively, a pretreatment application with
a copper based algaecide improves overall control if algae are present along with submersed weeds.
Surface Application for Submersed Aquatic Weeds: For submerged weeds, apply this product
as a spray in sufficient carrier to fully cover the target area and to ensure complete coverage of the weed
areas. Use the higher rate for mixed weed populations. Do not use surface spray applications for densely-
packed submersed weeds or if water is over 2 feet deep (use subsurface applications of this product in
these situations).
The use of a vehicle-mounted boom sprayer to apply this product above the water surface for treatment of
floating, emergent, or marginal vegetation, except for applications made via aircraft, is prohibited. This
prohibition does not apply to applications made below the water surface via submersed or trailing hoses.

LANDSCAPE, INDUSTRIAL, RECREATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND PUBLIC AREAS
This product is a non-selective herbicide and it will kill broadleaf and grassy weeds in industrial, recreational,
golf course, commercial, residential, and public areas within 24 to 36 hours. Do not allow sprays to contact
desirable plant foliage or injury will occur.
To be effective as a contact/desiccant herbicide, this product must completely cover the target weeds. Best
results are seen when this product is applied to young, actively growing weeds. Do not apply to weeds that
are growing under stress. Use the specified application techniques for acceptable weed control.
For weeds that are difficult to control, such as perennial, or deeply-rooted weeds, control is often obtained
by applications of this product as a tank mix with other systemic-type herbicides. This product, when applied
as a tank-mix with a preemergent herbicide labeled for th e intended use site, will provide residual control.
Before preparing large volume of a tank-mix of this pr oduct with other herbicides, check that the tank-mix
is physically compatible by mixing only a small amount of the tank mix. If the mixture balls up, forms flakes,
sludges, jells, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, do not use this combination: it is not compatible.
Read and follow the other product labels for specific application directions.
It is not possible for Nufarm to test all possible tank mixtures of this product with other pesticides for
compatibility, efficacy, or other adverse effects. Consult your state experimental station, state university or
extension agent before tank-mixing this product with other herbicides.
Grounds maintenance weed control in public, commer cial and residential landscapes, including
landscape beds, lawns, golf courses and roadsides: Apply this product as a spot or broadcast spray
to control weeds in listed sites or to control weeds around the edges and non-flooded portions of ponds,
lakes and ditches.
Trim and Edge weed control along driveways, walkways, patios, cart paths, fence lines, and around
trees, ornamental gardens, buildings, other st ructures, and beneath non-commercial greenhouse
benches: This product can be used to eliminate undesired grass and broadleaf plant growth in narrow-
banded areas along the areas listed.
Since this product does not translocate systemically, it can be used as an edging or pruning tool. This
product must be applied only to the select, narrow-banded areas of grass or undesirable weed growth found
in desirable ornamental bedding plants, ground covers , etc. This product will only control vegetation
growing within the width of the spray application. Do not exceed the labeled rate of this product or concrete-
based materials will be stained.
Industrial weed control for right- of-ways, railroad beds/yards, highways, roads, dividers and
medians, parking lots, pipelines, pumping stations, public utility lines, transformer stations and
substations, electric utilities, storag e yards, and other non-crop areas: Apply this product as a spot
or broadcast spray either alone or in combination with other herbicides for a fast burndown of weeds in
listed industrial weed control sites.
Spot Spray Applications: 1 to 2 qts. of this product plus a nonionic surfactant (contains 75% or greater
nonionic surfactant) at the manufacturers specified rate per 100 gals. water. For small spray solution
volumes, mix 0.75 oz. (22 ml) this product with the appropriate amount of the nonionic surfactant in 1 gallon
of water.
Broadcast Applications: 1 to 2 pts. of this product per acre plus a nonionic surfactant (contains 75% or
greater nonionic surfactant) at the manufacturers specified rate per 100 gals. of spray mixture. Use

75% or greater nonionic surfactant) at the manufacturers specified rate per acre. Apply in sufficient amount
of water (minimum of 5 gallons by air; 15 gallons by ground) to ensure desiccation and weed burndown.
Make repeat applications at a minimum of 5-day intervals and do not apply more than three applications.
Do not use seed, screenings, or waste as feed or for consumption.
TURF RENOVATION
(ALL TURF AREAS EXCEPT COMMERCIAL SOD FARMS)
This product is used to desiccate golf course turf and other turf areas prior to renovation. For suppression
of regrowth and quick desiccation of treated turfgrass, use this product as a tank mix with other systemic
non-selective or systemic postemergence grassy weed herbicides. Before tank mixing with other products,
read and follow the other product labels for specific application directions and restrictions.
Broadcast (Ground) Application: 1 to 2 pts. of this product per acre plus a nonionic surfactant (contains
75% or greater nonionic surfactant) at the manufacturers specified rate in 20 to 100 gals. of water. For
smaller spray solution volumes, mix 4 teaspoons of th is product and the appropriate amount of nonionic
surfactant in 1 gal. of water. Apply this product as a full coverage spray to thoroughly contact the turfgrass.
Make applications only when the turf is dry, free from dew or other moisture. Increased water volumes (100
gal. of water per acre) will enhance turf desiccation, especially when turfgrass is dense and thick.
