GENERAL IImORIIATICB 
1/ '\ ' 7 
Whip 0.75EC Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate for use in the 
selective postemergence control of annual and perennial grassy 
weeds in soybeans and rice. Thorough spray coverage of emerqed 
qrasses is important. Visible effects beqin as a qeneral 
chlorosis (yellowinq) followed by death of the weed. Visible 
injury of the grasses is evident approximately 4-10 days after 
application (dependent upon environmental conditions); but 
complete kill of the target qrass will take 12-21 days. 
Since many qrass crops are sensitive to Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, 
including sorghum and corn, avoid all direct or indirect contact 
to neighboring fields. 
Whip 0.75EC Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds or sedges. 
DlkEC'tIOIIS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law tc use this product in a manner 
inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply until you have read 
the entire label. 
SOYBEANS 
APPLICATICB IHFORIIATIOR: 
A. Ground Application: Whip 0.75EC Herbicide should be 
applied in a minimum of ten ( 10) 'Jallons of water per 
broadcast acre. Flat fan or hollow cone nozzles are 
recommended. Use a minimum pressure of forty (40) pounds 
per square inch. Under dense weed/crop canopies, high spray 
pressure is very important for obtaininq thorough coverage; 
therefore, use higher spray pressure under these conditions. 
,. , B. Air Application: Whip 0.75EC Herbicide should.ga •• ppl1A4.· 
in a minimum of five ( 5) gallons of wa ter ~et: broadc;:ast

CONtRCL OF LARGER ANNUAL GRASSES 
In soybeans, always use crop oil concentrate when controlling 
annual grasses that have grown beyond the recommended stages of 
growth. When grasses are large, the control may take somewhat 
longer. Yield reductions due to weed competition may result from 
these late applications. 
The addition of nanphytotoxic oil concentrate to the spray 
solution at one ~~) quart per acre for ground applications and 
one (1) pint per acre for aerial applications may improve the 
herbicidal activity of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. Oil should be added 
when the qrassy weeds are under drought stress or when a less 
than pptimum application timing is necessary (see Tillling of 
Application Section). Always use an 80\ paraffin base petroleum 
oil with the remaining 20\ composed of tolerance exempt 
surfactants and inert ingredients. 
The increased speed of foliage burn resulting from the addition 
of crop oil concentrate may reduce the translocation of Whip 0.75EC 
Herbicide to the Johnsongrass roots and rhizomes. Therefore, the 
addition of nonphytotoxic oil is not recommended for the control 
of rhizome Jchnsongrass. 
Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with Basagran Herbicide, 
Blazer or Tackle 2AS in a postemergence program for broad 
spectrum weed control in soybeans. Tank mix applications are to 
be used only when both the annual grass and broadleaf weeds are 
in the proper stage of growth as specified on each respective 
herbicide label. When tank mixing, always follow the use 
directions in accordance with the respective label. No label 
dosage rates should be exceeded.

Water Volume aDd Spray Pressure 
GrOUDd BquipaeDt: For the tank mix, use a minimum of 20 gallons 
per acre of total spray solution and a minimum pressure of 40PSI. 
Use standard high pressure hollow cone or flat-fan nozzles. 00 
not use flood nozzles. 
Aerial BquiPD8Dt: For tank mixes, use a minimum of 5 gallons per 
acre of total spray solution and a minimum pressure of 40 PSI. 
Jdz'nq: Fill the spray tank half full with water while the 
agitator is running. Add the recOlllllended amount of Whip 0.75EC 
Herbicide followed-by the tank mix component. Then add the 
remaining amount-of water. 
Be •• qnnR 
Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 
pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per 
acre. The choice of rates of each product and additivies is 
dependent on the weed size and weed spectrum present. Refer to 
the Basagran label to identify the proper rate and additives for 
control of the species and size of the broadleaf weeds present. 
The Whip 0.7SEC Herbicide r~tes for tank mixing with Basagran are 
1.6 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 4 inches 
tall, and 2.2 pints per acre when the annual grassy weeds are 4 
to 8 inches taIlor less than 2 tillers. DO NOT use this tank 
mix if the annual grassy weeds have developed more than 2 tille~s 
or are larger than 8 inches tall. For the control of shattercane 
8 to 12 inches tall and broadleaf weeds that are on the Basagran 
label, tank mix Whip 0.75EC Herbicide at a rate of 1.6 pints per 
acre with Basagran at 1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. DO NOT use this 
tank mix to control rhizome Johnsongrass. Sequential applica­
tions of Whip 0.75EC Herbicide and Basagran may be necessary if the 
stages of the grass and broadleaf weeds are not within tank mix 
label recommendations at the same time. 
For Use On soybeans Only: When tank mixing Whip 0.75EC Herbicide 
and Basagran, always add crop oil concentrate or other labeled 
additives at the appropriate labeled rate. 
Special Note: When tank mixing Basagran and Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, a 
minimum rate of Whip at 1.6 pints per acre is recommended. 
Blazer R or Tackle 2AS 
Whip 0.75EC Herbicide should be tank mixed at a rate of 
per acre. Blazer or Tackle 2AS should be tank mix.~:~ 
1.5 to 2.0 pints per acre. In no instances should:crop 
concentrate or a surfactant be used with this tank·~i~.

Blazer R or Tackle 2AS ( continued) 
The stage of growth of both the annual grassy weeds and the 
broadleaf weeds should conform to the directions on each product 
label. The tank mix of Whip O.75EC Herbicide plus Blazer or Tackle 
2AS should not be applied after the annual qrasses have begun 
tillerinq. Whenever the grass and broadleaf weeds are not both 
in the proper staqe of qrawth accordinq to this tank mix label, a 
sequential application should be utilized. When Whip 0.75EC 
Herbicide is applied first, a waiting period of J days is 
necessary before applyinq Blazer or Tackle 2AS. When Blazer or 
Tackle 2AS is app~ied first, a waitinq period of 7 days is 
necessary before-applying Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. 
Special Note: The mixture of Whip O.75EC Herbicide plus Blazer or 
Tackle 2AS may only suppress velvetleaf.

1. Annual ryeqrass (Lolium sp.), quackqrass (Agropyron 
repens) and Bermudaqrass (cynodon dactylon) are not 
controlled by Whip 0.75EC Herbicide. 
2. Rainfall within one hour of an application may cause a 
reduction in qrass control. 
3. If a new flush of qrass occurs, either a timely 
cultivation or a second application of Whip O.75EC 
Herbicide may be necessary. 
4. DO NOT cultivate within four days before or after a 
Whip 0.75EC Herbicide application. 
5. As a qeneral manaqement practice, clean sprayer 
thorouqhly before and after any pesticide

most restrictive labeling applies in tank mixes. 
Rice is tolerant to postemergence applications of Whip 0.75EC 
Herbicide from the 4-leaf to the late tillering stage of rice 
development. Always plant high quality seed in order to obtain a 
uniform germination and a good rice stand. Postemergence 
applications may result in temporary rice injury that appears as 
leaf chlorosis and stunting. The rice will normally recover from 
these symptoms in two to four weeks. 
Use instructions, particularly water management, must be followed 
to minimize rice injury. Read and follow all label direct:ons 
carefully. 
Rice fields should be level and free of large clods to obtain 
uniform germination of rice and grassy weeds and to insure 
uniform flood levels. If necessary, fields may be flushed prior 
to treatment. If fields are flushed prior to treatment, flush in 
sufficient time so that the rice and grass are actively growing 
at time of treatment. But allow sufficient time for water.LQ

C._ \::" . 
A. Air Application: Apply aerially using a m~n~um of ten 
(10) gallons of water per broadcast acre. It is 
recommended to increase the gallonage to o~tain thorough 
coverage when a dense weed canopy is present. Uniform spray 
coverage is essential when using aircraft, and is achieved 
by the use of a spray droplet size ranging from 150 to 300 
microns. A hydraulic boom-nozzle system that will apply 10 
gallons of water per acre with a minimum pressure of 20 
pounds per square inch is recommended. Best results are 
obtained with D-8 nozzles. DO NOT USE raindrop nozzles. 
Aerial applications with this product should be made at a 
height which-provides the most effective swath width for the 
aircraft, bUt no lower than 10 feet from the rice crop. 
DO lIO'r APPLY by aircraft wilen wiDd speeds ezceeli eight (8' 
mph. Avoid all. direct or iDdirect contact to neigbbori.DcJ 
fields. 
Special lfOtes: 
1. Thoroughly clean mixing vat and airplane by 
rinsing with clean water before Whip 0.75EC Herbicide 
is added. 
2. It is important to calibrate the spray equipment 
with Whip 0.75EC Herbicide in the spray solution. 
The spray swath width and total volume per acre 
may vary when compared to other rice herbicides. 
3. A flow meter is recommended to obtain proper water 
volume (gpa). 
B. GrOUDd Application: Apply in a minimum of ten (10) gallons 
of water per broadcast acre. Flat fan or hollow cone 
nozzles are recommended. Use a minimum pressure of 40 PSI. 
Under dense weed/crop canopies, high spray pressure and 
increased gallonage is very important in obtaining thorough 
coverage. 
While broadleaf crops, such as cotton and soybeans, are very 
tolerant to Whip 0.75EC Herbicide, grassy crops, such as corn 
and sorghum, are extremely sensitive and drift onto these 
grassy crops must be avoided. TO insure tborouqh coverage 
and to avoid drift, DO MO'l' APPLY when the wiDd speed exceeds 
eight (8) mph.

1. Rice fields must be level. If desirable, fields may be 
flushed prior to treatment. To expose existing grasses, 
allow sufficient time for water to drain frail the field 
before the Whip O.75EC Herbicide app~lcation. 
2. When to Apply the Paddy Flood: 
a. When the rice is less than eight (8) inches in 
height, do not flood fields for at least seven (7) 
days after the Whip O.75EC Herbicide application. 
b. When the rice is greater than eight (8) inches in 
height, the fields can be flooded in 4 - 5 days 
follOWing the application. 
3. The water depth (flush or flood) should not exceed 25\ of 
the rice height for 21 days after the Whip O.75EC Herbicide 
application. A deep flood can be applied anytime after 21 
days follOWing treatment. 
POST-FLOOD: 
1. The rice should have at least one tiller before making a 
post-flood application with Whip O.75EC Herbicide. 
2. Water levels at the time of application should not be 
greater than an average of two (2) inches in depth or cover 
more than 25\ of the rice and annual grass foliage. 
3. Reflood to a normal depth three - four days after the 
application.

COiIIiitOL OF o:tBBR WEEDS: 
Tank Mix Recommendations: 
Whip O.75EC Herbicide may be tank mixed with Basagran Herbicide in a 
postemergence program for broad spectrum weed control in rice. 
When tank mixing, always follow the use directions in accordance 
with the respective label. No label dosage rate should be 
exceeded. 
Whip O.75EC Herbicide should be applied at a rate of 1.6 to 2.2 
pints per acre and Basagran at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 pints per 
acre. Refer to . the Basagran label to identify the proper rate 
for control of the weed species and size of the weeds present. 
The Whip O.75EC Herbicide rates for tank mixes with Basagran are 
1.6 pints per acre, when the annual grassy weeds are 1 to 3 leaf 
( 1 6 4 inches) and 2 . 2 pints per acre when the annual grassy 
weeds are 4 leaf to 1 tiller ( 4 - 8 inches). Do not tank mix 
Whip O.75EC Herbicide and Basagran when the annual grassy weeds 
have developed more than 1 tillers or if the weeds are under 
drought stress. Sequential applications may be necessary if the 
growth stage of the grasses and broadleaf weeds are not within 
the tank mix label recOlllDendations at the same time. 
In preflood applications, a new flush of broadleaf weeds may 
occur under certain environmental conditions before the field 
receives permanent flood 7 days later; therefore, appropriate 
control measures may be required. 
Fill the spray tank half full with water while the agitator is 
running. Add the recommended amount of Whip O. 75EC Herbicide 
followed by Basagran. Then add the remaining amount of water. 
SBQUElU'1AL TREA'l'MEHTS: 
Applications of other herbicides may be made sequentially to Whip 
O.75EC Herbicide. A six (6) day interval is recommended between 
applications of Whip O.75EC Herbicide and other pesticide appli­
cations.
