USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
USERS SHOULD: Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to marine/estaurine invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present
or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to terrestrial and aquatic plants in
neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Groundwater advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil in to groundwater under certai n conditions as a result
of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result
in groundwater contamination.
Do not use on coarse soils classified as sand which have less than 1% organic matter.
Surface water advisory: Sulfentrazone can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions,
sulfentrazone may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water), for several
to many months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface
waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlying extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that
drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying til e
drainage systems that drain to surface waters.
PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Authority BL Herbicide is a water dispersible granule formulation to be mixed with water and sprayed for selective preemergence
and preplant incorporated weed control in soybeans. When applied according to the instructions on this label, it will control listed
broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges.
The mode of action of Authority BL involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Preemergence and preplant incorporated
applications of Authority BL require rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or irrigation req uired
for activation following application depends on existing soil moisture, organic matter content and soil texture. If adequate moisture
(½” to 1”) is not received within 7 to 10 days after the Authority BL treatment, a shallow cultivation may be needed to obtain
desired weed control. When sufficient moisture is received after dry conditions, Authority BL will provide control of susceptible
germinating weeds.
This label contains specific use directions for two distinct geographical use areas for Authority BL. The Northern Area and the
Southern Area which are shown on the map under APPLICATION INFORMATION. This label also contains general use
information which is applicable to all Authority BL use geography.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Authority BL Herbicide which contains the active ingredients Sulfentrazone and Metribuzin is a group 14 and 5 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 manage ment program may include the use of multiple herbicides with
different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage ope rations 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 su ccessful implementation of a weed resistance management
program.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
· Scout fields before application for weeds for identification of species and sizes.
· 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).
· Apply full rates of Authority BL Herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct
weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
· Scout fields after application to detect any poor performance or likely resistance in weeds.
· 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 local retailer or county extension
agent.
· Contact your crop advisor or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to these MOAs have been found in your
region. Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple sites of action. Products with multiple 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.
· If resistance is suspected, treat weed es capes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and 5and/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 14 and 5 herbicides.
· Avoid making more than two applications of Authority BL Herbicide and any other Group 14 and 5 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 m echanical 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
DO NOT use on crops other than soybeans.
Ground application only
Use a standard low pressure herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable nozzles and screens. Apply uniformly using properly
calibrated nozzles (10 to 40 psi) and screens and strainers no finer than 50 mesh. Use 10 to 40 gallons of spray solution per a cre.
Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before application. Check sprayer during application to be sure it is working properly.
Water must be used as the carrier for Authority BL when applied alone, or when tank mixed with other soybean herbicides.
Continuous agitation during application is required. Avoid overlap. Shut off spray booms while turning, slowing or stopping, as
over application may result. Avoid letting Authority BL sit overn ight as settling of product and difficulty of resuspending ma y
occur.
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Authority BL applications must be drained and thoroughly cleaned
with water plus ammonia before being used to apply other products.
Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops or plants as injury to other plants may occur. To avoid drift, applicators must
observe the following precautions:
Spray Drift
Ground Applications
Spray Volume
Ground applicators must use a minimum finished spray volume of 10 gallons per acre.
When sulfentrazone is tank mixed with a contact burndown herbic ide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray volume of
15 gallons per acre.
Spray Nozzle and Droplet Size
-Select nozzles and application pressure that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle
manufacturers recommendations and in accordance with ASABE* Standard S-572.
-Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when sulfentrazone is used as a preemergent/preplant application.
-Select medium to very coarse droplet size when sulfentrazone is used postemergence with a contact burndown herbicide.
6
-Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3 and 10 mph.
-For boom spraying, the minimum release height must be 30 inches from the soil for ground applications.
-Do not apply as spray droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASABE* standard).
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMETAL CONDITONS.
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage for pesticide performance. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but
will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavor able environmental conditi ons. (See information on
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions in s ubsequent sections). Select nozzles and application pressure
that deliver medium to coarse or larger spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturers recommendations and in
accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. Sel ect coarse to very coarse droplet si ze when used as a preemergent/preplant
application. Select medium to very coarse droplet size when used with a contact burndown herbicide. Do not apply as spray
droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASABE standard).
Controlling spray droplet size
Volume Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the greatest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flow generally
produce larger droplets.
Pressure - When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles rather than increasing spray pressure. Do not exceed
the nozzle manufacturers recommended pressures. Lower pressure produces larger droplets in many types of nozzles.
Number of Nozzles Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph. Applicators may spray only when wind speed is between 3
and 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can
influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they may potentially affect spray
drift.
Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity set up equipment to produce larger droplets
to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions Applications s hould not occur during a temp erature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small-suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud.
This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the low speed and variable winds common during inversions. Temperature
inversions are characterized by increasi ng temperatures with altitude and are comm on during conditions of limited cloud cover
and little to no wind. They often begin to form as the sun sets and may often continue into the morning. The presence of a
temperature inversion may be indicated by ground fog. However, if fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground
source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify inversions. Smoke that remains in layers and moves laterally in a
concentrated cloud (under low speed wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas The pesticide should only be applied when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas (e.g. residential
areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).
OFF-TARGET MOVEMENT OF AUTHORITY BL HERBICIDE
Drift of spray mixtures containing Authority BL Herbicide must be prevented. Observation of the preceding environmental
conditions, correct application equipment design, calibration and application practices will significantly diminish the risk of off-
target spray drift. Authority BL Herbicide can cause significant symptomology by drift onto sensitive crops and other plants. This
symptomology may manifest initially as discreet, localized spots where contacted by Authority BL Herbicide drift mixtures.
Depending on concentration of the spray solution and droplets size (effectively determining the dosage of sulfentrazone) and also
depending on the inherent sensitivity of the plants involved, these spots or lesions ma y or may not coalesce. These effects wil l
usually not have lasting effects on plant growth, but will likely reduce the value of affected fruit or foliage where grade or quality
are associated with appearance. In severe drift instances with particularly sensitive crops, defoliation of affected foliage co uld
result. Failure to follow these guidelines and environmental prohibitions that then result in off-target movement or drift of
7
Authority BL Herbicide onto unintended crops or plants, irrespective of severity, constitutes misapplication of this product. FMC
accepts no responsibility or liability for potential crop effects that may result from such misapplication of Authority BL Herbicide.

SPRAY TANK PREPARATION
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of exis ting pesticide deposits before using Authority BL. Follow the spr ay
tank cleanout procedures specified on the label of product previously applied before adding Authority BL to the tank.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill spray tank with one fourth of the volume of clean water needed for the field to be treated. Start agitation system, add Authority
BL per directions under APPLICATION INFORMATION. Refer to RATE TABLE 1 for the Northern Area or RATE TABLE
2 for the Southern Area for the proper application rate. Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to keep the product
in suspension. Make sure Authority BL is thoroughly mixed before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.
For tank mixtures with other soybean herbicide(s), a jar test should be conducted to ensure product compatibility before full-scale
mixing. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Fill spray tank one fourth
full with water. With agitator operating, add the recommended amounts of ingredients using the following order: dry granules
first, liquid suspensions (flowables) second. Add EC products followed by water soluble products to tank as agitation continues
and tank is filled with water. All applicable directions, restrictions and precautions for the tank mixture herbicide(s) must b e
followed.
Use Authority BL spray mixtures immediately after mixing. Do not store mixture. If Authority BL was tank mixed with other
soybean herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions and precautions for the additional herbicides must also be followed.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants. 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 residue s
from damaging other crops. Drain the spray tank and spray system and completely flush with water plus ammonia. Then, remove
all spray tips and strainers and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
Dispose of excess spray mixture and/or rinsate by application to cropland as described on this label. If excess spray mixture and/or
rinsate cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, di spose of in compliance with local, state and federal guideline s.
Contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA regional
office for guidance.
