SPRAY DRIFT
1. When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
2. Applicators are required to use Medium droplet size (ASABE SS72.l).
3. Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
4. Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
The interaction of many equipm ent and weather-related factors determines the potential for spra y drift. The applicator is
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift pote ntial is to apply large drople ts. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of se nsitive species nearby, the environmental
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. 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 Inversions sections
of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest prac tical spray volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
larger droplets.
x Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for th e nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does
not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER- CAPACITY NOZZLE
INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
x Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
BOOM HEIGHT
Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets
to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patt erns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affe ct
spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temper ature inversions restrict vertic al air mixing, which causes small
suspended droplets to remain close to th e ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with lim ited cloud cover and light to no wind.
They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however,
if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground so urce 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.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify
that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
POLLINATOR ADVISORY STATEMENT
This product contains an herbicide, therefore follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure
in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treate d site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinat ors,
including monarch butterflies (and larvae), birds, and bats.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a Group 15 Herbicide (inhibition of very long chain fatty acids). A given weed population may
contain or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed to
mitigate or delay resistance. The following Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicide
resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally
effective.
x Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.
x Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits and/or use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotation.
6
x Use multiple herbicide sites of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple SOAs during both the growing season and from
year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single SOA.
x Know your weeds, know your fields. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed
populations.
x Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to
planting.
x Stay clean use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, pre-emergence or early post-emergence soil-applied
residual herbicides should be used when possible.
x Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, including timing, full use-rates and appropriate spray volumes.
x Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other
techniques to stop weed seed production and improve weed management.
x Zero tolerance reduce the seed bank. Do not allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help decrease weed
populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts.
x Clean equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their seeds.
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisory and /or Bayer CropScience representative for additional resistance
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee (HRAC) on the web at http://www.hracglobal.com.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
LIQUID CARRIERS:
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable f luid fertilizer. Compatibility of
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE or its labeled tank mix products with these liquid carriers should always be determined prior to spraying.
Refer to the SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST (App endix I) of this label to determine product compatibility in
fluid fertilizer carriers.
Before mixing FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely
clean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clean
water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate.
For optimum spray tank mixing and efficacy, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an
eductor system.
The proper mixing sequence for FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid carrier is
as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier.
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application.
3. If the compatibility test in dicates the need of a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount of compatibility agent to the spray
tank.
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now.
5. Next add the specified quantity of F LUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE through the educ tor or to the spray tank [slowly add
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE if water or sprayable grade nitrogen fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) are the carriers; for other sprayable
grade fertilizers first check compatibility and then either mix directly or preslurry in water depending in the results of the compatibility
test].
6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or dry fl owable products in water, they may be added now.
7
If tank mixing these products in a sprayable fertilizer carrier, first make a slurry of the products with water and then add t he slurry
slowly to the spray tank.
7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank.
8. If tank mixing with a glyphosate-co ntaining product or Touchdown®, add the products to the spray tank.
9. If mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, ad d them after all other products have been mixed.
10. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier.
11. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty.
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. Do not
allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect
how long the mixture may stand before application.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPRAYER APPLICATION
Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply FLUFENACET 4 SC
HERBICIDE and the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom equipment.
Use a pump with capacity to ma intain 30 to 40 psi at the no zzles, maintain adequate in-tank agitation to keep the spray mixture in
suspension and provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. If mixed with other labeled herbicides, the spray volume may be no less
than the minimum volume specified by the tank mix product or 10 gallons, whichever is greater. The use of screens to protect the pump
and nozzles is recommended. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in
the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Refer to the
nozzle manufacturer for additional recommendations. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanical
agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use.
Band Treatment: FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE and the labeled tank mixtures may be applied as a band treatment. Use the
following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatments:
Band width in inches X Broadcast rate = Band rate
Row width in inches per acre per acre
APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMING
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied eith er alone or in tank mixtur es with or sequentially with certain other registered an d
recommended herbicides. Applicatio ns may be made preplant surface, preplant in corporated or preemergence. FLUFENACET 4 SC
HERBICIDE may be used in either a single or split application program.
Preplant Surface: For use in conservation, minimum or no- tillage crop production systems, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone or
as a recommended tank mixture may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 45 days before planting in corn and 14 days before planting
in soybeans. A split application is recommended for applications made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, where 2/3 of the highest specified
broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture is applied initially and the remaining 1/3 is applied at planting. Treatments made less than 30
days before planting may use either a single or split application. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply the FLUFENACET
4 SC HERBICIDE treatment in tank mixture wi th a recommended nonselective foliar herbic ide. If possible, do not move treated soi l out
of the row or move untreated soil to the soil surface prior to or during planting, as weed control may be reduced.
Preplant Incorporation: Apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone or in combination with recommended tank-mixes as a broadcast
spray and incorporate into the up per 1 to 2 inches of the soil surface up to 14 days before plan ting. Avoid deep incorporation since
reduced weed control and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which provide uniform, shallow incorporation (example
-finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.)
Preemergence: FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone and its recommended tank mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a
broadcast spray or band application after pla nting of the crop but prior to weed or cro p emergence. If weeds are present at the time of
application, apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE with a nonselectiv e foliar herbicide. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigatio n is
necessary to move FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBIC IDE into the upper soil surface where we ed seeds germinate. Dry weather conditions
following application may reduce weed control. If adequate mois ture is not received within 7 to 10 days after applications and weeds
begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/2 inch deep) will improve performance and
minimize crop damage. Excessive rainfall or irrigation after application may reduce weed control.
Early Postemergence: When used as an early postemer gence treatment, FLUFENACET 4 SC HE RBICIDE may be applied once per
year alone or in combination with or sequentially with certain herbicides. Use of an adjuvant is recommended in some applications. Refer
to crop sections of the label for specific information.
Special Applications: Fall Application (for use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Route 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north
of Interstate 70 in OH):
Following harvest of crops in the fall, F LUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be applied to crop stubble after Oc tober 15, when the
sustained soil temperature at the four-inch soil depth is less than 50o F, but before the ground is frozen. This application is limited to only
medium- and fine-textured soils with an organic matter of 2.5% or greater and which will be planted to corn the following spring. The soil
may be tilled before or after application with incorporation dept h no more than two to three in ches following herbicide applica tion. If a
8
spring application of FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE follows the fall application, the total FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE rate for both
applications must not exceed 25 fluid ounces.
CORN (Field, Seed, and Sweet)
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE flowable herbicide is a selective he rbicide for control of most annual grasses and selected annual
broadleaf weeds in corn. A maximum of two applications may be made alone or in tank-mix combination with certain registered herbicides.
The following types of applications are allowe d: preplant surface, preplant incorporat ed and preemergence and early postemergence.
Most effective weed control will occur when the applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage
prior to weed emergence from the soil.
For post-emergent use in Corn: The REI is 23 days. Exception: In addition to the early entry exceptions allowed by the Worker Protection
Standard, you may enter or allow workers to enter treated areas to scout 3 days following application as long as the worker wea rs long
pants, long sleeved shirt and shoes plus socks.
Special Precautions: Field seed corn inbred lines and sweet corn varieties may vary in th eir response to FLUFENACET 4 SC
HERBICIDE. Do not apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE to inbreds without first verifying with your local seed corn company (supplier)
the FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE selectivity on your inbred line.

FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE USE RATES IN FALL, PREPLANT SURFACE, PREPLANT INCORPORATED AND
PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS AND EARLY POSTEMERGENCE
For FALL Application ( For use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Rout e 20 in NE, north of Rout e 136 in IL, and north of
Interstate 70 in OH):
After October 15, when the susta ined soil temperature at the four inch soil depth is less than 50 o F, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE
may be applied to remaining crop stubble following harvest. In conservation, minimum and no-tillage systems on soils having 2.5% organic
matter or greater, apply FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE at 23 to 25 fluid oz/A on medium textured soils and 25 fluid oz/A on fine textured
soils. Apply before the ground is frozen. The soil may be tilled before or after application with an incorporation depth no more than two to
three inches following the fall application. Minimize furrow and ridge formation in the tillage operations after application of FLUFENACET
4 SC HERBICIDE. If a spring application is made, the total rate of both fall and spring must not exceed the maximum total rate for corn,
or illegal residues may occur.
For CONVENTIONAL Tillage Systems With Applications Made TW O WEEKS OR LESS Preplant Surface, Preplant Incorporated
or Preemergence:
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE use rates are located in Table 1.
Rates are based on soil texture and organic matter and are for applications made within two weeks of planting and until corn emergence.
Do not use on peat or muck soils (soils with 20% or more organic matter).

2 For more information, refer to the "Rate Selection/Soil Texture" section of this label.
For CONSERVATION, MINIMUM, and NO-TILLAGE Systems; or CONVENTIONAL Tillage Systems With Applications GREATER
THAN TWO WEEKS Preplant:
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE use rates are located in Table 2. Rates are higher for these types of tillage systems and
application timings than in Table 1 due to the extended period of weed control needed and the increased crop residue
present. Refer to the “Application Methods and Timing” section of the label for details. Weed control will generally be greater
the closer the applications are made to planting but prior to weed emergence. If weeds ar e present at application, a
nonselective herbicide such as a glyphosate-containing product or Touchdown used at specified rates may be mixed with
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE treatments. Do not use on peat or muck soils (soils with 20% or more organic matter).

FOR EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS:
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE Flowable Herbicide use rates are located in Table 1.
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE alone and/or certain FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE tank mixtures ma y be applied to corn from
emergence through the 5 th leaf collar growth stage. Begin le af count with the first leaf (rounde d tip). FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE
alone will not provide control of emerged weeds. For control of emerged weeds, FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE may be tank mixed
with approved postemergence herbicides. Read and follow all precautions/restrictions and directions on tank mix partner labels.
Corn treated with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE early postemergence may be harvested for forage (silage) 75 days or more after
treatment.
Adjuvants for early postemergence:
The adjuvant types listed below may be utilized with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE Flowable Herbicide.
UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) is commonly refe rred to as 28, 30, or 32%N. UAN can be used as an adjuvant in certain herbicide tan k
mixtures with FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE, or as a spray carrier for FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE. Fluid fertilizers applied after
crop emergence can result in crop tissue “burn” symptoms. Using fluid fertilizer as a postemergence spray carrier to apply FLUFENACET
4 SC HERBICIDE is not recommended if fluid fertilizer burn is not considered acceptable.
Ammonium sulfate (spray grade) is recommended as an alternative to UAN as a spray solution adjuvant with certain tank mixture partners.
When tank mixing FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE Flowable Herbicide with other herbicides be certain to select adjuvants recommended
and compatible for use with all herbicides included in the tank mixture.

SOYBEAN
FLUFENACET 4 SC HERBICIDE is a selective herbicide for control/suppression of most annual grasses in soybeans. FLUFENACET 4
SC HERBICIDE may be applied once per year either alone, in tank mix combination with or sequentially with certain registered herbicides.
The following types of application are allowed: preplant surface, preplant incorporated and pree mergence. The preplant surface and
preplant incorporated treatments may be applied up to 14 days before planting. The mo st effective weed control will occur when the
applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence form the soil.
Do not graze or feed forage, hay or straw to livestock.
For post-emergent use, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 13 days.

APPENDIX I
SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST
A compatibility test is highly recommended for all applications with liquid fertilizers. Prior to mixing products in the spray tank, small
quantities of each product can be mixed in proportionate quantities to evaluate compatibilities. The following test assumes a spray volume
of 25 gallons per acre. If other spray volumes are to be used, adjust the appropriate amounts of ingredients. To check for comp atibility,
use the following procedure:
1. Add two inches of the liquid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) to a one-quart jar fitted with a tight lid.
2. Add the appropriate amount of herbicide. If more than one product is used, the recommended mix sequence is the dry herbicide
first, flowables next and emulsified concentrates last. For dry herbicides, add 1-1/2 level teaspoons/pound/acre use rate and for
liquids add 1/2 teaspoon/pint/acre use rate.
3. Add one pint of the li quid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) to the jar. Place the lid on the jar and gently shake the jar for one minute.
Place the jar on a level surface and let it stand for 30 minutes.
4. Reagitate the mixture and observe the mi xture for signs of phase separation, flakes , particles, gels, precipitates, etc. If none of
these conditions occur, the mix is compatible.
5. If incompatible, use of a compatibilit y agent is recommended. Rerun the above test but first add a compatibility agent (1/4 teaspoon
is equal to a use rate of 2 pints/100 gallons spray mix) and gently shake the jar prior to adding herbicides.
6. If the mixture is now compatible, a compatibility agent should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate.
7. If the components of the solution are still incompatible, the mixture should not be attempted for use in the spray tank.
8. Contact your Bayer representative for further reco mmendations on testing spray solution compatibilities.
