WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Command 3ME, which contains the active ingredient clomazone is a group 13 herbicide based on the mode of
action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or
other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to
delay the selection for resistance.
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
management program.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage

To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present.
• Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches) with a burndown herbicide.
• To minimize resistance, apply full labeled rates of Command 3ME.
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
• Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
local retailer, or county extension agent.
• Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this
MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 13 and/or
use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
• 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.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is
practical:
• Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
• Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 13 herbicides.
• Avoid making more than two applications of Command 3ME and any other Group 13 herbicides within a single
growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action 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.
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
• Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
MIXING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BULK/MINI-BULK CONTAINERS
110 and 120 Gallon Compack Containers
Equipment Requirements:
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is a microencapsulated herbicide and requires a diaphragm type pump in order to
maintain product quality. DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps.Bulk/Minibulk containers have been prefitted with a Scienco DD6
diaphragm type pump for recirculation and dispensing of product.
Dispensing Instructions:
When ready to dispense Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide from the Compack, the applicator needs to recirculate the
product in the container, if the product has settled or separated, for approximately 5 minutes or until the product is thoroughly turned
over. The Scienco DD6 pump is equipped with recirculation capability. This allows for quick and efficient mixing of product which may
have separated or settled in storage. To recirculate, press down the bypass pushrod lever to the locked position (slid under the motor)
and turn on the motor. The discharge ball valve at the end of the hose must be closed before turning on the motor. Once the product
is thoroughly recirculated the applicator may then begin the process of dispensing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide into
the spray tank, loading or mixing system.
The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label.
250 Gallon Bulkdrum III Containers
Equipment Requirements:
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is a microencapsulated herbicide and requires a diaphragm type pump in order to
maintain product quality. DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps. The following pumps are suitable for moving Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide from the 250 gallon Bulkdrum into spray tanks, mixing systems, or dedicated repackaging minibulk
tanks*:
Tuthill Fill-Rite Chemtraveller portable transfer pump
Scienco Caddy-SS portable transfer pump
6
Scienco DD6 pump
Tuthill Fill-Rite Series 400 diaphragm pumps
Dispensing Instructions:
When ready to dispense Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide from the Bulkdrum, the dealer/applicator must recirculate the
product in the container, for at least 15 minutes. This can be done by hooking a portable pump such as listed above to the bot tom
bung, opening the valve and directing the outlet nozzle into the 6” top port (seal must be broken). Directing the nozzle stream into the
corners will ensure more complete turning of the product volume. Once the product is thoroughly circulated, the dealer/applica tor
may then begin the process of dispensing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide into the dedicated repackaging minibulk
container(s)*, or spray tank, loading or mixing system. Rinse the empty Bulkdrum container and transfer the rinsate directly t o the
mix or spray tank.
The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label.
* Any dealer wishing to repackage Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide must comply with all Federal, State and local laws perta ining to bulk
herbicide handling and possess a signed repackaging agreement from FMC Corporation.
RESTRICTIONS
x DO NOT use gear or piston-type pumps
x The dealer/applicator must wear proper clothing as listed on the Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
IMPORTANT
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS SECTION OF THE LABEL MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO SENSITIVE
PLANTS
• The microencapsulation of clomazone, the active ingredient in Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide, is intended to
minimize movement away from the site of application. Avoid making applications when spray particles may be carried by air
currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing. Leave an adequate buffer zone between the area to be treated
and desirable plants.
• PRECAUTIONS: Foliar contact with spray drift or vapors may cause foliar whitening or yellowing of sensitive plants. Symptoms
are generally temporary in nature, but may persist on some plant species.
Application restrictions must be taken as follows:
• Observe all buffer restrictions.
• Before application, determine air movement and direction.
Refer to individual crop use directions for additional requirements.
BUFFER RESTRICTIONS
• DO NOT apply within 300 feet of downwind crops and desirable non-target plants.
• DO NOT apply within 1,200 feet of Towns and Housing Developments, Commercial Fruit, Nut, or Vegetable Production1,
Commercial Greenhouses or Nurseries.
1 Except for vegetable crops registered for use on the Command 3ME herbicide label.
APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS
• DO NOT apply this product by air or through irrigation equipment.
• DO NOT apply Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide to non-field areas including fence rows, waterways, ditches, and
roadsides.
• When moving spray equipment to noncontiguous sites, DO NOT allow spray solution to spray or drip from tanks, hoses, fittings
or spray nozzles and tips.
• DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS
• User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a Coarse 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.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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. W hile
applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential fo r 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 recommended 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.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
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.
ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS
Under some conditions, temporary whitening or yellowing of leaves may occur on approved rotational crops where undesirable soil
residues of Command 3ME exist.
Under abnormal conditions, carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The following factors can contribute to increased ri sk of
injury to rotational crops:
1) Over-application resulting from use of worn nozzles, excessive over-lapping of spray swaths, failing to shut off spray booms
when turning (end row areas), or slowing or stopping sprayer.
2) Soil with pH less than or equal to 5.9.
3) Extreme dryness in the four months following application.
4) Choice of rotational crop hybrid.
Additional instructions to prevent rotational crop injury may be provided in the form of service bulletins for locations where risk of injury
is significantly increased due to extremely dry conditions.
Refer to Rotational Crop Instructions and Replanting Instructions of specific crops for additional crop planting information.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
DO NOT drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where their roots may extend or in locations
where the chemical may be washed or move into contact with their roots. DO NOT contaminate any body of water including irrigation
water that may be used on other crops. Carefully follow sprayer clean-up instructions noted below to prevent spray tank residues from
damaging other crops.
Sprayer equipment need to be thoroughly rinsed to remove residues of herbicide that might injure other subsequently sprayed crops.
The steps below need to be followed for the thorough rinsing of spray equipment following applications of Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide or tank mixes of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide with other labeled products.
1) Drain any remaining spray solution from tank, pump, hoses and boom and discard in an approved manner (See Note that follows).
2) Clean tank and fittings by:
8
• Thoroughly hosing down the inside walls of the spray tank with a quantity of water equal to 1/8 of the total tank capacity and
operating the pump to circulate this solution through the sprayer system for 15 minutes.
• Washing down the outside surfaces of equipment.
• Removing nozzle tip and screen from end nozzle in each boom section and allowing several gallons of rinsate solution to
flush completely through boom (collect rinsate while flushing).
3) Thoroughly drain remaining rinsate solution from tank, pump and hoses. Combine with boom flushing and dispose of all rinsates
from this first rinsing in an approved manner (see Note that follows).
• When switching from water dilutions to applications utilizing crop oil or liquid fertilizer as a carrier, a small volume of cr op oil
or liquid fertilizer need to be flushed through the tank, pump, hoses, and boom prior to the next use. Dispose of crop oil or
liquid fertilizer rinsate in an approved manner (see Note for local, state and federal guidelines).
4) Remove the remaining nozzle tips, and screens and the line filter and wash in a pail of warm soapy water, thoroughly rinse an d
replace.
5) Hose down the inside walls of the spray tank a second time and circulate this solution using the same procedure as noted in # 2
above.
6) If the next use of the sprayer will be for applying a pre-emergent or preplant incorporated pesticide on any crop for which
Command 3ME is registered, rinsate from this second rinsing may be utilized by diluting with the water for the next pesticide
load;
HOWEVER
If the next use of the sprayer will be a post-emergence applied pesticide on any crop, drain rinsate solution from this second
rinsing. Retain rinsate solution for use only with a soil incorporated pesticide to be applied on a crop for which Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide is registered. Refill tank (after draining second rinsate solution) in accordance with post-emergence
product label directions.
NOTE: Dispose of excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first tank rinsing by application to cropland as described on this label. If
excess spray mixture and/or rinsate from first rinsing cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, dispose of in compliance
with local, state and federal guidelines. Contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste
representative at the nearest EPA regional office for guidance.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Care must be taken when mixing Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide. Avoid mixing in areas adjacent to desirable plants.
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide Alone:Mix Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide with water or liquid fertilizer
in the following manner: Fill the spray tank one-half to three-fourths full with water or liquid fertilizer, add the proper amo unt of
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide, then add the rest of the water or liquid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during
mixing and application to maintain a uniform spray mixture.
Tank Mixtures: It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow
the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must fo llow the
most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Fill spray tank one-fourth to one-third full with water; with agitator operating add the specified amount of ingredients using the following
order: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e.g., flowables) next and finally li quids (e.g.,
ECs). Mix thoroughly and fill tank one-half full continuing agitation. Add Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide to tank whi le
maintaining agitation. Complete filling the sprayer tank with water. Where use of a surfactant is advised, add as the last ingredient to
the spray tank. Maintain agitation during filling, mixing and application. When using drift reducing agents, follow specific product label
instructions for order of addition to spray tank.
Fertilizer Spray Mixtures: Applications of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide alone, or with advised tank mixtures, in
conjunction with fertilizer solutions may be used unless use directions specifically state otherwise. Small quantities need tobe tested
for compatibility by the following procedure before mixing tank full quantities.
1) Put 1 pint of fertilizer solution in a quart jar.
2) Add the appropriate amount of herbicide based on the table below. If more than one product is to be used, add each separately
using the following sequence: dry formulations (e.g., wettable powders, dry flowables) first, liquid suspensions (e.g., flowabl es)
next and finally liquids (e.g., ECs).
Amount to Be Added
Herbicide Rate/Acre Per Pint of Fluid Fertilizer*
Wettable 1/2 pound 3/4 level teaspoon
Powders 1 pound 11/2 level teaspoons
or 2 pounds 3 level teaspoons
Dry Flowables 3 pounds 41/2 level teaspoons
(Dry Granules)
Emulsifiable 1 pint 1/2 level teaspoon
Concentrates 1 quart 1 level teaspoon
or 2 quarts 2 level teaspoons
Flowables 3 quarts 3 level teaspoons
* Based on a spray volume of 25 gpa. For lower or higher spray volumes, adjust fluid fertilizer quantity accordingly.

3) Close jar and shake well.
4) Watch mixture for several seconds, again in 5 minutes and again after 30 minutes. If herbicide/fertilizer combination remains
mixed or can be remixed readily (i.e., does not permanently separate, foam, gel or become lumpy), the mixture is compatible
and can be mixed in full volumes and sprayed. If the mixture is compatible, prepare spray by adding fertilizer solution to the tank
first, then follow directions noted below:
1) Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide Alone:Dilute with 2 parts of water and add slowly to spray tank of fertilizer with
agitator running. Maintain agitation during application.
2) Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide plus Tank Mixtures:Dilute individual products with two (2) parts of water, then
add to the spray tank of fertilizer, while maintaining agitation, using the following order—slurry of dry formulations (wettabl e
powders, dry flowables) first, diluted liquid formulations (ECs, flowables) second. Continue agitation during application.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Ground Applications
Broadcast or Banded Applications: Apply Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide alone or in tank mix combinations by
ground equipment using a finished spray volume of 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre. Use nozzles suitable for broadcast boom or
banded application of herbicides. See “APPLICATION DIRECTIONS”, “BUFFER & APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS and
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT sections for specific instructions to reduce spray drift. For Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide
tank mixtures with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, nozzle screens and strainers need to be no finer than 50-mesh.
Command 3 ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be used as a pre-emergent soil surface applied treatment from 30 days before
planting to just prior to crop emergence. If field conditions indicate the need for additional seedbed preparation, the use of equipment
which will move the herbicide no deeper than 11/2 - 2” is acceptable.
Banded Applications—Calculate the rates and volumes required by using the following formulas:
Band width
in inches X Broadcast
Rate Per Acre = Band rate

Cultivation After Planting
If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, compaction, or weed emergence, soil treated with Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide may be shallow-cultivated (no deeper than 11/2 - 2”) or rotary-hoed without reducing the weed control
activity of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide. Avoid deep cultivation which may bring untreated soil to the surface and
result in poor weed control.COMMAND GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS

REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANTING TIME
APPLICATIONS
Failure to apply either disulfoton or phorate insecticides with Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide in accordance with in-
furrow label use directions can result in crop phytotoxicity (bleaching) and/or stand reduction. Combinations of at planting sy stemic
granular carbamate and organophosphate insecticides in conjunction with Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may result
in injury to cotton. Crop injury may occur with higher Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide rates on sandy soils. Diuron is not
advised at planting when Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide is used as plant injury may result.
11
Refer to the insecticide product labels for appropriate in-furrow application directions and maximum use rates. Monitor applica tion
equipment to insure accurate and uniform placement of the insecticide.
PRE-EMERGENT BANDED APPLICATIONS
For pre-emergent banded treatments, refer to the directions for banded applications in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS section.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If the initial planting of cotton fails to produce a uniform stand, cotton may be replanted in fields treated with Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide alone. When tank mixing with a labeled product, refer to the replant instructions for that product. DO
NOT replant treated fields with any crop at intervals that are inconsistent with the ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS on the
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide label. Where a tank mix is used, refer to the products labels for any additional replant
instructions.

RICE
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be utilized as a surface broadcast treatment prior to weed emergence, for the
control of annual grass weeds in dry-seeded rice.
PRE-EMERGENT SURFACE BROADCAST APPLICATIONS
Command 3ME may be applied as a surface broadcast application 14 days prior to planting or up to 7 days after planting, but prior to
weed emergence, using ground equipment in a minimum of 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre at the rate of 10.7 to 34.1 fl. oz. product
(0.25 to 0.8 lb. active) per acre depending upon the soil texture. Refer to table below for specific rates and weeds controlled. For
heavy soils use the higher specified rate, otherwise less than desirable weed control may result.
For pre-emergent broadcast treatments, refer to the directions for broadcast applications in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
section.
EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
Command 3ME may be applied after planting as an early post-emergence treatment to rice through the five leaf stage to provide pre-
emergence and residual control of grass weeds. Use ground equipment with nozzles that produce a course spray and a minimum of
10-40 gallons of water per acre. Refer to table below for specific rates and weeds controlled. For control of existing grass pr esent at
the time of application include a post-emergence herbicide registered for the control of grass species in rice. Consult post-emergence
herbicide label for specific directions regarding use rates and stage of weeds and crop.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If initial planting of rice fails to produce a uniform stand, rice may be replanted in fields treated with Command 3ME. When tank mixing

TOBACCO
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be utilized as a soil applied treatment prior to weed emergence, for the control of
annual grass and broadleaf weeds in tobacco.
PRE-EMERGENCE (Prior to Transplant)
Make a single broadcast application in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre at the rate of 32 to 42.7 fluid ounces (0.75-1.0 lb.
ai) per acre. For heavy weed pressure or heavy soils use the higher specified rate, otherwise less than desirable weed control m ay
result.
21
Apply immediately before, or up to 30 days prior to, transplanting. Apply as a surface treatment prior to emergence of weeds. If weeds
emerge before pre-emergence application can be made, cultivate before or immediately preceding treatment. If field conditions
indicate the need for additional seedbed preparation, the use of equipment which will move the herbicide no deeper than 1 1/2 -2” is
acceptable.
PRE-EMERGENCE (Post Transplant)
Make a single broadcast application in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre at the rate of 32 to 42.7 fluid ounces (0.75-1. 0 lb.
active) per acre. For heavy weed pressure or heavy soils use the higher specified rate, otherwise less than desirable weed contr ol
may result. Apply no more than once per year using a maximum rate of 42.7 fluid ounces (1.0 lb. ai/A) per acre. Apply over-the-top of
tobacco plants immediately, or up to 7 days after, transplanting but prior to weed emergence. If weeds emerge before application can
be made, cultivate before herbicide treatment to remove existing weeds.
COMMAND 3ME MICROENCAPSULSATED HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS FOR TOBACCO
Command 3ME Microencapsulated herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use on tobacco to broaden the
weed control spectrum com-pared to the products applied alone. Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may also be tank
mixed with other tobacco herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and/or nematicides. When applying mixtures of Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide plus other tobacco pesticides, i t is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are
registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
tank mixture. Water or liquid fertilizer may be used as a carrier for Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide when applied alone,
or when tank mixed with other tobacco pesticides unless label use directions/restrictions specifically state otherwise. Refer back to
Mixing Instructions for tank mixing information.
TOBACCO REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Before applying Command 3ME on vegetable crops, users, growers and/or applicators must review the VEGETABLE
DIRECTIONS found in the TERMS OF SALE OR USE section at the end of this label.
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be utilized as a soil applied treatment prior to weed emergence, for suppression
or control of labeled annual grass and broadleaf weeds in the vegetable crops listed above.
Refer to Weeds Controlled table in the Vegetable Crops section for specific weeds.
Make a single herbicide application in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre at the rate(s) specified in the individual crop listings
hereafter. Apply as a pre-emergent soil applied treatment prior to seeding or transplanting, or after seeding but prior to crop
emergence. Place seed, or roots of the transplants, below the chemical barrier when planting.
Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use on vegetables to provide a
broader spectrum of controlled weeds. When applying mixtures of Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide plus other vegetable
herbicides, it is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the
applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most
restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Water or liquid fertilizer may be used
as a carrier for Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide when applied alone, or when tank mixed with other vegetable herbicides
unless use directions on those labels specifically restrict use or provide other limitations.
DIRECTIONS
Place seeds or roots of the transplants below the chemical barrier when planting.
Under drought conditions where rainfall has not sufficiently activated and moved Command 3ME Microencapsulated Herbicide through
the soil profile, certain irrigation systems may allow the crop to grow to maturity and not activate Command 3ME Microencapsulated
Herbicide. Crop symptomology may occur late in the season under heavy rainfall situations which reactivate Command 3ME
Microencapsulated Herbicide that was on the soil surface.
Certain crop varieties may have potential for injury or loss due to use of this herbicide. Consult your agricultural experiment station,
county agent, or other qualified crop advisors for information pertaining to crop varieties grown in your area.
PRECAUTIONS: Temporary whitening and/or yellowing of the treated crop may occur.
VEGETABLE ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS
Rotate to crops as listed below. Refer to sections headed “Rotational Cropping Precautions” and “Product Information.”
