SPRAY DRIFT
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.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and
target weeds, applicators are required to use a coarse
or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to
use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Applicators must use 1/2 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.
(continued)
SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications
• User must only apply with the release height recom-
mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet
above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf,
pasture, or rangeland application, in which case appli-
cators may apply with a nozzle height no more than
4 feet above the ground.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and
target weeds, applicators are required to use a coarse
or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to
use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boomless Ground Applications
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
• 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
NONTARGET 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
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger
droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for
the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations for setting up nozzles.
• Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be
oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
Boom Height Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
the crop and have minimal bounce.
5
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.
Release Height Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray
drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of
the spray on the target area.
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. Tem-
perature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of
an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the
movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in
a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates
an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applica-
tions 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.
Mode of Action
Lightning® herbicide kills weeds by root and/or foliar
uptake and rapid translocation to the growing points.
Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum Light-
ning activity. When adequate soil moisture is present,
Lightning will provide residual control of susceptible ger-
minating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend
on the weed species and the location of its root system in
the soil.
Naturally occurring biotypes* of some of the weeds listed
on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/
or other products with the ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting
mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS
enzyme inhibiting mode of action include the
imidazolinones (e.g. Pursuit
® herbicide, Scepter®
herbicide, Raptor® herbicide etc.), the sulfonylureas
(e.g. Accent®, Classic®, Permit®, Steadfast ®, Spirit®
herbicides, etc.) the sulfonamides (e.g. Python ®
herbicide, etc.) and the pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g. Staple®
herbicide, etc.). If naturally occurring biotypes are present
in a field which are resistant to this herbicide, Lightning
should be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an
appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of
action to ensure control.
* A weed biotype is a naturally occurring individual within a given species
that has a slightly different, but distinct genetic makeup from other
plants.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Lightning is a Group 2 herbicide. While weed resistance
to Group 2 herbicides is common in a number of weed
species, these herbicides remain an important component
of successful weed control programs. Resistance man-
agement should be part of a diversified weed control
strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi-
cal, cultural, mechanical, and biological control tactics.
Cultural control tactics include agronomic practices that
improve the competitive ability of the crop via rotation, vari-
ety/cultivar selection, precision fertilizer placement and
optimum crop planting density. Agronomic practices
should also limit the development and spread of weeds by
using clean crop seed (e.g., certified seed), preventing
crop trait out-crossing, controlling weed influx from field
borders, and managing weed seed at harvest/post- harvest
to minimize the carryover weed seed-bank into the follow-
ing crop. Mechanical control tactics include timely tillage
where practical, equipment cleaning to avoid weed spread,
and minimizing harvest crop seed losses in the field
through close attention to timeliness of harvest, correct
setup of harvest equipment, and covering crop seed loads
during harvest and transport to avoid dispersing seed. An
example of a biological control tactic is field grazing during
or after cropping to manage weeds and reduce weed seed
production.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to
this product, the following steps should be followed where
practical:
• Plant into weed-free fields. Start with clean tillage or an
effective burndown herbicide program.
• Scout fields before herbicide application to ensure herbi-
cides and rates will be optimum for the weed species
and weed sizes present.
• Apply preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual
control of broadleaf and grass weeds to reduce early
season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop
postemergence herbicide applications.
• Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other
herbicides possessing different sites of action that are
also effective on the target weeds.
• Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage
specifications.
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
control during the growing season.
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season.
• Apply full labeled rates of Lightning for the most diffi-
cult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
6
• Use recommended adjuvant, adequate spray volume,
proper nozzle and pressure (see label) to ensure effective
weed coverage for applications.
• Control weeds in field borders to prevent weed influx into
field.
• Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
where weed control was ineffective and to monitor weed
populations for early signs of resistance development.
Consider application and environmental factors that may
have led to incomplete control. Indicators of suspected
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 affect-
ed area by applying an alternative herbicide from a
different group other than Group 2 or by a mechanical
method such as hoeing or tillage.
• If a weed population continues to progress after treat-
ment with this product, discontinue use of this product.
Switch to another management strategy or another her-
bicide with a different mode of action.
• Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif-
ferent site of action or use a mechanical control
measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro-
duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
• Clean tillage, harvesting, and other equipment before
moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant
weeds (especially harvest and tillage equipment).
• Contact your herbicide supplier and/or your local BASF
representative if resistance is suspected.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following
herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum, soil-applied herbicide with site of
action other than Group 2 as a foundation in a weed
control program.
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alterna-
tive sites of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2
herbicides.
• Avoid making more than one application of Lightning
®
herbicide and any other Group 2 herbicide within a sin-
gle growing season unless mixed with another site of
action herbicide with an overlapping spectrum for the
difficult-to- control weeds.
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed
control program.
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before
and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
weeds.
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har-
vest to reduce weed seed production.
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further
guidance on weed control practices as needed.

Lightning® herbicide is active against many broadleaf
and grass weed species. For long-term weed manage-
ment, use two herbicides with different modes of action to
reduce the potential for weed resistance.
Crop Tolerance
Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions
can exhibit various injury symptoms which may be more
pronounced if herbicides are used. Corn plants treated
with Lightning may exhibit yellowing on new growth.
Such effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal
growth and appearance should resume within 1 to
2 weeks.
Use of Lightning in accordance with label directions is
expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in
most situations; however, various environmental and agro-
nomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks
associated with the use of this product and, therefore,
rotational crop injury is always possible. Under some con-
ditions (such as heavy texture soil, high organic matter, low
pH or low rainfall) Lightning may cause injury to subse-
quent planted crops. See the ROTATIONAL CROPS
section of this label for rotation intervals to sensitive crops.
Soil Insecticide Information
All soil insecticides registered for use on corn, including
labeled banded or in-furrow applications, may be used in
combination with Pioneer
® imidazolinone-resistant (IR)
corn hybrids and Lightning.
8
BASF recommends that terbufos and phorate in banded
applications may be used in combination with Lightning®
herbicide on imidazolinone-tolerant (IT) corn hybrids.
DO NOT use terbufos when Lightning will be applied to
imidazolinone-tolerant corn hybrids. BASF has not tested
all hybrids in which the imidazolinone-tolerance trait is
claimed and cannot be responsible for factors which are
beyond its control, such as growing conditions, environ-
mental conditions, grower practices and the specific
genetics of each hybrid tolerance to herbicide and insecti-
cide applications.
Cultivation
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7-10 days following
Lightning application. This timely cultivation will enhance
residual weed control, especially under dry conditions.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, drain and clean applica-
tion equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or
commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufactur-
ers directions and then triple rinse the equipment before
and after applying Lightning.
Application Instructions
Lightning is effective in controlling annual weeds in con-
servation tillage as well as in conventional production
systems. Apply Lightning as a postemergence treatment
to CLEARFIELD
® corn when crop and weeds are actively
growing. For optimal weed control, apply Lightning before
weeds exceed labeled height.
Lightning Application Use Area, Rate and Timing
• Apply Lightning at a broadcast rate of 1.28 ounces per
acre. At this broadcast rate, one bottle of Lightning will
treat 10.0 acres of CLEARFIELD corn.
• Lightning can be applied postemergence (including
spike stage) on CLEARFIELD corn hybrids.
• Lightning must be applied with drop nozzles (i.e. post-
directed onto weeds) under the following conditions: if
the corn is greater than 20 inches tall or corn has 6 or
more leaf collars (V6), whichever is the more restrictive,
or if the crop canopy prevents adequate weed coverage.
Delaying a Lightning application for 48 hours from the
time temperatures increase above 50° F (i.e. after air tem-
peratures have remained below 50° F for 10 or more
hours) will improve weed control and reduce the potential
for crop response. Unusually cool temperatures (50° F or
less) reduce photosynthesis and transpiration and thus
reduce the uptake and translocation (and effectiveness) of
Lightning in weeds.
Lightning is rainfast one hour after application.
Ground Application Methods and Equipment
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment
in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure
of 20 to 40 psi is recommended. DO NOT apply when
wind velocity is greater than 15 mph. (See SENSITIVE
CROP PRECAUTIONS section for application guidelines
near sensitive crops.)
To ensure thorough coverage a minimum of 10 gallons of
water per acre is recommended when applying Lightning
to minimum till or no-till CLEARFIELD corn. Use higher
gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop
residues. Flat-fan nozzle tips are recommended for post-
emergence applications.
Avoid overlaps when spraying.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment
in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. Addition of a non-
ionic surfactant AND fertilizer solution is required for
optimum weed control; apply a nonionic surfactant at the
rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution OR a crop
oil concentrate at the rate of 1.25 gallons per 100 gallons
of spray solution, AND a liquid fertilizer at the rate of
1.25 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution.
To avoid injury to sensitive crops from drift, aerial applica-
tors must adhere to the SPRAY DRIFT restrictions in this
label.
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage that
results from spraying Lightning in a manner other than
recommended in this label. In addition, applicator must
follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordi-
nances in regard to spraying
SENSITIVE CROP PRECAUTIONS
Lightning may cause injury to desirable trees and plants,
particularly cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamen-
tals, potatoes, sugar beets, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes
and other broadleaf plants when contacting their roots,
stems or foliage. These plants are most sensitive to
Lightning during their development or growing stage.
FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW WHEN
USING Lightning:
• DO NOT treat areas where either possible downward
movement into the soil or surface washing may cause
contact of Lightning with roots of desirable plants such
as trees and shrubs.
• Avoid making applications when spray particles may be
carried by air currents to areas where sensitive crops
and plants are growing. DO NOT spray near sensitive
plants if wind is gusty or in excess of 15 mph and moving
in the direction of nearby sensitive crops. However,
always make applications when there is some air move-
ment to determine the direction and distance of possible
spray drift. Leave an adequate buffer zone between area
to be treated and sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less
likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays.
9
• Use coarse sprays to avoid potential herbicide drift.
Select nozzles which are designed to produce minimal
amounts of fine spray particles such as Spraying
Systems XR flat fans. A spray pressure of 20 psi and
spray volume at or above 20 GPA is recommended to
reduce drift to sensitive crops.
• Agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives may be
used.
• To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to
apply Lightning
® herbicide should be thoroughly
cleaned (see CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT ) before
reusing to apply any other chemicals.
Additives
Ground, postemergence applications of Lightning require
the addition of an adjuvant AND a nitrogen fertilizer source
OR a basic blend*.
ADJUVANTS
• Surfactants. Use a nonionic surfactant containing at
least 80% active ingredient. Apply the surfactant at the
rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons (0.25% volume/volume
[v/v]). An organo-silicone surfactant may be used in place
of a nonionic surfactant.
OR
• Crop Oil Concentrate. Instead of a surfactant, a
petroleum-based or vegetable seed-based oil concen-
trate or methylated seed oil may be beneficial under the
following conditions.
1. Hot, arid environmental conditions when weeds may
be under stress and less susceptible to herbicide
applications
2. For improved control in heavy infestations of weeds
such as woolly cupgrass, large crabgrass, and field
sandbur, or when approaching maximum labeled
heights
Apply crop oil concentrates or methylated seed oils at the
rate of 1 gallon per 100 gallons (1% v/v).
AND
NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE
Recommended nitrogen-based fertilizers include liquid fer-
tilizers (such as 28%N, 32%N or 10-34-0) at the rate of 1 to
2 quarts per acre. Use the higher rate when weeds are
under moisture or temperature stress. Instead of a liquid
fertilizer, spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at
the rate of 2.5 pounds per acre.
* Alternatively, the use of proprietary "basic blend" products that contain
both a nonionic surfactant and a nitrogen source that provide equiva-
lent spray additive activity to those additives mentioned above may be
used with Lightning . Other premixes containing a surfactant and a
nitrogen source may be used as long as performance and rate guide-
lines for surfactant and nitrogen amounts are met.
Mixing Order
DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as a carrier (use water only) for
postemergence applications of Lightning.
WATER
1. Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water.
2. Add the required amount of Lightning to the spray tank
while agitating.
3. After the Lightning has visibly dispersed, add spray
additives and fill the remainder of the tank with water. An
antifoam agent may be added if needed.
TANK MIX PREPARATION
When tank mixing Lightning with recommended herbi-
cides, add the other herbicides and other components in
the following order, while agitating:
1. Fill spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water.
2. Add Lightning and thoroughly mix.
3. Add other aqueous solution products.
4. Add other soluble packet products and thoroughly mix.
5. Add WP (wettable powder), DG (dispersible granule),
DF (dry flowable), or LF (liquid flowable) formulations.
6. Add EC (emulsifiable concentrate) products.
7. Add surfactant to the spray tank.
8. Add liquid fertilizer.
9. While agitating, fill the remainder of the tank with water.
Tank Mixing Information
When Lightning is used in combination with another her-
bicide, refer to the respective label for rates, spray
additives, methods of application, proper timing, weeds
controlled, restrictions and precautions. Always use in
accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions and
precautions. No label dosages may be exceeded.
Restrictions and Limitations
• Only one application of Lightning may be made during
the growing season.
• If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated
with Lightning, the field may be replanted only to
CLEARFIELD® corn. Rework the soil no deeper than
the treated zone. DO NOT apply a second treatment of
Lightning. In the event of a crop loss due to weather,
CLEARFIELD corn seed hybrids can be replanted fol-
lowing an application of Lightning. If Lightning was
tank mixed with other herbicides, the label restrictions for
these herbicides must also be followed.
• DO NOT apply Lightning within 45 days of corn harvest
(silage, fodder, or grain).
• DO NOT graze or feed treated corn forage, silage, fod-
der, or grain for at least 45 days after an application of
Lightning.
• More restrictive crop growth stage limitations of tank mix
partners must be followed.
• DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation system.
• DO NOT apply in a greenhouse.
10
• Not for use in California.
• In New York, not for sale or use on Long Island.
ROTATIONAL CROPS
Use of Lightning® herbicide in accordance with label
directions is expected to result in normal growth of rota-
tional crops in most situations; however, various
environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible
to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product
and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible.
The following rotational crops may be planted after apply-
ing Lightning at the specified rate in corn. Rotational
crops must not be planted earlier than the specified inter-
vals; this will help avoid crop injury.

ONLY, cotton may be planted 9.5 months after a Lightning applica-
tion if more than 16 inches of rainfall and/or irrigation is received
following application of Lightning through October of the application
year.
2
Following forty months after a Lightning application, and before plant-
ing any crop not listed in ROTATIONAL CROPS, a successful field
bioassay must be completed. The field bioassay consists of a test strip
of the intended rotational crop planted across the previously treated
field and grown to maturity. The test strip should include low areas and
knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no crop
injury is evident in the test strip, rotational crop may be planted the
following year.
Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used
for feed or food.
BASF recommends that products containing imazethapyr
(Pursuit
® herbicide and Pursuit® Plus EC herbicide )
should not be applied to CLEARFIELD corn the same
year as Lightning or injury to followcrops may occur.
If the field is limed to adjust pH prior to planting rotational
crops not listed in ROTATIONAL CROPS, apply the lime
at least 12 months prior to planting the rotational crop.
ADDITIONAL ROTATIONAL CROP INFORMATION
• If corn is furrow irrigated, till the soil prior to planting win-
ter wheat or barley. The beds should be broken up and
the soil mixed with tillage equipment set to cut 4- to
6-inches deep.
• Corn inbred lines: Due to the proprietary nature of seed
production, BASF has not been given access to the
inbred data. Growers are directed to contact the seed
company for information and recommendations regard-
ing the planting of corn grown for seed in fields treated
with Lightning the previous year. Because growing con-
ditions, environmental conditions, and grower practices
are beyond the control of BASF, TO THE EXTENT
CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE LAW, ALL RISKS
AND CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
PLANTING SEED CORN INBREDS INTO FIELDS
TREATED PREVIOUSLY WITH LIGHTNING SHALL
BE ASSUMED BY THE USER.
