clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Carfentrazone-ethyl is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. DO NOT apply directly to
water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the high water mark,
except as specified on this label. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash.
Fish Advisory Statement:
This product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms, particularly in clear, shallow water bodies
that are adjacent to treated areas. Transport to water by runoff or spray drift of this product in
areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark, should
be avoided. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
For ground water:
Residues of this chemical have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected
in ground water. Residues of this chemical may leach not ground water if the chemical is used in
areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
For surface water:
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true
for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having
high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A
level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and
surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of
carfentrazone-ethyl residues from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product w ill be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement:
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target
organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and
habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, AIM EC HERBICIDE is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population
may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to AIM EC HERBICIDE and other Group 14
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used
repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of AIM EC HERBICIDE or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing cycle
sequence or among growing cycles with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds
in a field.
• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where
information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance -prone
partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone
partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which
active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
• Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and
uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage
(or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer
application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible 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 affected area by an alternative herbicide from a
4
different group or by a mechanical method including hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of
resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
between fields, and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue
use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode
of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension spec ialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or integrated weed -management recommendations for specific
crops and weed biotypes.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact FMC Corporation at 1-800-
331-3148.
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• For aerial applications, the distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not
exceed 75% of the length of the wingspan or 90% of rotor diameter. To further reduce
drift, use on half of the length of the wingspan or rotor diameter at the edge of the field.
• Applicators must only spray when wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less.
• Applicators must not spray during temperature inversions.
• For aerial applications, the release height must be no higher than 10 feet from the top
of the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety.
• For aerial applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse spray
droplets as indicated in nozzle manufac turers catalogues and in accordance with
ASABE Standard 572.1.
Ground Boom Applications:
• For ground boom applications, apply with the nozzle height no more than 4 feet above
the ground or crop canopy. For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no
more than 4 feet from the target vegetation.
• For ground applications, select nozzle and pressure that produce medium to coarse
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturers catalogues and in accordance with
ASABE Standard 572.1.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
AIM EC HERBICIDE is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation. AIM EC HERBICIDE is to be
mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied
to labeled crops and non-crop areas for selective postemergence control of broadleaf weeds, for
sucker control, for burndown prior to planting, as a harvest aid and to defoliate/desiccate labeled
crops.
Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds. AIM EC
HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of
susceptible weeds shows signs of desiccation.
Extremes in environmental conditions including temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and
cultural practices may affect the activit y of AIM EC HERBICIDE. Herbicide symptoms may be
accelerated under moist conditions. Weed control may be reduced when weeds are hardened off
by drought and become less susceptible to AIM EC HERBICIDE.
AIM EC HERBICIDE is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid significant crop
response, applications must not be made within 6 to 8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when
heavy dew is present on the crop. Environmental conditions and certain spray tank additives may
increase herbicidal symptoms on the crop.
TANK MIXTURES (See specific crop application instructions for additional tank mixture
restrictions and information)
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.
AIM EC HERBICIDE may be tank-mixed with other registered herbicides for controlling a broader
spectrum of weeds Refer to this and other products labels for mixing instructions, precautions,
and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank mix partner. When preparing
a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all
spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake the mixture
vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitation of the ingredients and
failure to re -suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and must not be
applied. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as
follows: Fill the tank one fourth full with water. With the agitator operating, add the specified
amounts of ingredients using the following order: dry granules first and liquid suspensions
(flowables) second. As the agitation continues and the tank is filled with water add emulsifiable
concentrate products third followed by the addition of water soluble products.
ADJUVANT USE REQUIREMENTS
The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum performance. Refer to the individual
crop sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
ON-FARM TESTING
Not all varieties or cultivars of labeled crops have been fully evaluated under all environmental
and soil conditions. Consult with your local seed company for additional information.
It may also be beneficial to conduct small on -farm trials under actual conditions with specific
varieties or cultivars before treating large acreage.
and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or, if allowed by state and local
authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing and Loading Instructions:
Start by filling the tank with ¾ of the desired volume of clean water and, with agitation, add the
proper amount of AIM EC HERBICIDE. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired volume.
Maintain sufficient agitation to keep materials in solution during both mixing and application and
until the spray tank has been emptied. For tank mixtures, follow your local extension guidelines
for mixing order. General guidelines are: add dry materials first and agitate until mixed; then EW
or water soluble liquids; then EC formulations; then, add adjuvants last. Ensure the compatibility
of other products and/or liquid fertilizers with AIM EC HERBICIDE before mixing them together in
the spray tank.
Mixing Precautions
Avoid the overnight storage of AIM EC HERBICIDE spray mixtures. If spray solution is stored
overnight or longer, thoroughly agitate spray mixture before applying the solution. Premixing AIM
EC HERBICIDE spray solutions in nurse tanks is not specified. Maintain continuous and adequate
spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used. DO NOT use with tank additives
that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solutions if
necessary to maintain the pH between 5-8.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
Many pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in
mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they
are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after spraying AIM EC HERBICIDE and before
using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly
cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure
proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with AIM EC HERBICIDE as required
on the other product label s. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is
cleaned immediately following the application.
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high -pressure detergent
wash to remove physical sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly
rinse. Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water
rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips)
separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at
least 3% active) per 100 gallons of clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the
operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom
and spray nozzles.
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or
fresh water is left in the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during
storage.
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean
water and flush through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water.
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution a nd rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and
local regulations and guidelines.
DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
8
DO NOT store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with AIM EC spray solution
remaining in the tank, spray lines, spray boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and nozzles with clean water before
beginning any application.
Should small quantities of AIM EC HERBICIDE remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading
and/or spray equipment, they may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing
effects to certai n crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to
inadequately cleaned equipment.
APPLICATION METHODS
GROUND APPLICATION
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver uniform spray droplets to the
targeted plant or plant parts. Adjust sprayer nozzles to achieve uniform plant coverage. Overlaps
and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may
result in higher application rates and possible crop response.
Spray Buffer for Ground Application
Spray buffer zones for ground applications, listed in chart below, are required near desirable
perennial vegetation or crops before blossom and after total leaf drop, and/or near other desirable
or annual crops.

Broadcast Boom Sprayers
Use a broadcast boom sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips and screens
and adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating
pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray dropl ets. DO NOT exceed
30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles.
Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray volumes when there
is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than
12-18 inches above the crop or weed canopy depending on the nozzle specification. Operate the
sprayer to avoid the application of high herbicide rates directly over the rows or into the whorl of
treated crop plants.
Directed Sprayers
For directed sprayers apply AIM EC HERBICIDE with drop nozzles or other post direct spray
equipment.
Post directed applications may be utilized when labeled crops have reached minimum growth
stages where sprays may be directed to the target weeds, but is not deposited on the green stem,
foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop. DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift or when wind speed
is above 10 MPH.
Use drop nozzles or other spray equipment capable of directing the spray to target weeds and
away from sensitive plant parts. Apply when labeled crops have reached minimum growth stages
described in specific crop sections of this label and when spray will not be deposited on green
stems, foliage, blossoms or fruit.
9
Hooded Sprayers
To apply AIM EC HERBICIDE using a hooded sprayer, refer to the Hooded Sprayer Section for
specific adjustment and operation instructions. For additional information, refer to the individual
crop sections of this label.
Hand held or high volume orchard gun sprayers
AIM EC HERBICIDE may be applied to certain labeled crops and non -crop areas with hand
operated sprayers including backpack sprayers, compression sprayers, knapsack sprayers, or
high volume orchard gun sprayers. Directed applications may be utilized when labeled crops
have reached minimum growth stages where sprays may be directed to the target weeds, but is
not deposited on the green stem, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop. Refer to individual crop
sections of this label.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrang ements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a
minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply at a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre.
Spray volumes greater than 3 GPA may be needed for harvest aid and defoliation treatments, or
for dense weed populations or with dense crop canopies.
For Aerial Application in California:
Refer to individual crop sections to see if application is permitted by air
For applications near desirable perennial vegetation or crops before blossom and after total leaf
drop, and/or near other desirable or annual crops:
- DO NOT apply within 100 feet of all desirable vegetation or crops.
- If wind up to 10 miles per hour is blowing toward desirable vegetation or crops, DO NOT apply
within 500 feet of the desirable vegetation or crops.
- DO NOT apply when winds are in excess of 10 mph or when inversion conditions exist.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
AIM EC HERBICIDE is a contact PPO (protoporphyrinogen oxidase ) herbicide. Avoid any drift
conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegetation. AIM EC is not volatile,
however; mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants.
The interaction of equipment and weather related factors de termine the potential for spray drift.
The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from
applications to a gricultural field crops. These requirements DO NOT apply to forestry
applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
Information on droplet size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The optimum drift
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
Applying larger droplets reduce s drift potential, but will not prevent drift when applications are
10
made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
All aerial and ground application equipment must be proper ly maintained and calibrated using
appropriate carriers.
For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on
the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
Volume Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
higher rated flows usually produce larger droplets.
Pressure DO NOT use pressures greater than that specified by the nozzle manufacturer. For
many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed,
use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of Nozzles Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation For aerial application, orient nozzles so that the spray is released parallel
to the airstream. A parallel orientation results in larger droplets than other orientati ons and
reduces air turbulence and the production of small droplets. Significant deflection from horizontal
will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
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. For aerial
applications, solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and
potentially the least drift.
Boom Length For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than
3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of
spray droplets to evaporation and wind movement. Aerial applications must
not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater
height is required for aircraft safety.
Swath Adjustment Swath adjustment distance must increase, with increasing drift potential
(higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) The EPA Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Program was
developed to encourage the manufacture, marketing, and use of spray technologies scientifically
verified to significantly reduce pesticide drift. The use of DRTs should result in significantly less
pesticide from spray applications drifting and being deposited in areas not targeted by those
applications, compared to spray technologies that DO NOT meet the minimum DRT standard.
EPA-verified drift reduction technologies (DRTs) and their ratings will be add ed to the following
webpage as they become available: https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-
and-rated-driftreduction-technologies
Wind Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
Applications shall be avoid ed below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion
11
potential. DO NOT apply AIM EC HERBICIDE when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. NOTE: Local
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator shall be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they 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 DO NOT apply AIM EC HERBICIDE during a temperature inversion
because the 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 light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature
inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights
with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue
into the following 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 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.
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.
Sensitive Areas AIM EC HERBICIDE shall only be applied when the wind is blowing away from
adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or
endangered species and non-target crops).

PREPLANT BURNDOWN
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burn -down
treatment to control or suppress weeds. AIM EC HERBICIDE is effective as a burndown
treatment for crops prior to new plantings. Apply AIM EC up to 2.0 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai/A). DO
NOT exceed the applicable amounts as listed for the specific crop in the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
AIM EC HERBICIDE USE in Table 1. For optimum performance, make applications to actively
growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential
for good control . Optimum broad -spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds requires a
tank mix with labeled burndown herbicides including glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2,4-D, or
dicamba.

HOODED SPRAYER APPLICATIONS
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE to the row middles of the following emerged crops using hooded
sprayers in accordance with specific use information in the following Directions for Use section.
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of
the below listed emerged crops. This treatment is for crops grown in rows, and incl udes crops
grown in rows where mulch or plastic barriers are used as a weed control tool in the drill or plant
line.
Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such a manner to totally
enclose the spray pattern and to prevent any spray dep osition to green stem tissue,
foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop.
Sprayers shall not be operated at more than five (5) miles per hour in order to minimize vertical
movement of the sprayer during application, including the bouncing or raising of the equipment.
Use extreme care in applying to fields where the soil surface is uneven, has deep furrows, drains
or other contours that would disturb the adjustment and positioning of the spray equipment and/or
the spray pattern. Applications must not be made when wind conditions may disturb the spray
patterns and result in spray deposition to sensitive plants or plant parts.
For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall and
rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control.
Crops Labeled for Use with Hooded Sprayers:
Hooded Spray application can be used for all crops listed on this Aim EC HERBICIDE label.
Note:
Crop injury will occur when spray is allowed to come in contact with the green stem tissue,
leaves, blooms or fruit of the crop.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Postemerge Weed Control Treatment
Dormant Period (Fall or Winter Application Postemerge on Weeds)
Aim EC HERBICIDE may be applied on dormant crop stubble alone or in combination with other
registered herbicides for the post emergence control of weeds in established nongrass animal feed
stands during the dormant period (between growing periods). To control insect pests, Aim EC
HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with insecticides, including Mustang Max.
Between Cutting In-Crop Application (Spring/Summer Applications Postemerge on Weeds)
Aim EC HERBICIDE may be applied alone or in combination with othe r registered herbicides
between cuttings (in-crop) for the post emergence control of weeds in established crop stands. In-
crop applications must be made as soon as possible after removal of the previous hay crop and
prior to significant regrowth on stems and crowns. Applications may be made from hay removal up
to 6 inches of new growth. To control insect pests, Aim EC HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with
insecticides, including Mustang Maxx.
Aim EC Use Rates
For optimum results, weeds must be treated when small. Applications shall be made in spray
volumes sufficient to provide complete coverage of foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished
spray per acre for ground application equipment, and a minimum of 3 gallons per acre of finished
spray for aerial equipment. For optimum results, apply Aim EC to weeds up to 4 inches tall and
rosettes less than 3 inches across. Use a quality nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints
per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. For more active treatments,
use a Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) at 0.5 to 1.0% v/v (one half to one gallon per 100 gallons). Some
25
temporary leaf speckling and necrosis may occur on green alfalfa or clover tiss ue present with
between cutting applications, which must be rapidly outgrown under good growing conditions.
Adjuvant selection and high moisture environmental conditions will enhance this effect. A high
quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons spray
solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic
surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed. Coverage is essential for satisfactory
performance. Repeat application if necessary. DO NOT irrigate just prior to or just after application.
Weed control under dry and hot conditions will be improved with COC or similar products.
Tank Mix
For tank mixture applications, refer to the use directions and restrictions of the mixture product.
Aim EC HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with other labeled herbicides to control weeds not listed on
this label. Read and follow all manufacturers label directions and label restrictions for the
companion herbicide. When tank mixing Aim EC HERBICIDE with other products, be sure Aim EC
HERBICIDE is mixed in the spray tank water first.
Harvest Aid Treatment
Apply Aim EC HERBICIDE to crops grown for forage, hay or seed alone or as a tank mixture with
other harvest aids. Applications shall be made when the crop is mature, or according to Extension
Service guidelines in the use area. Apply Aim EC HERBICIDE at 2.0 to 3.8 fl oz/A. (0.031 to 0.06
lb ai/A), but not to exceed maximum labeled rates. Refer to the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AIM EC
HERBICIDE USE RATE CHART and the PREHARVEST IN TERVAL charts for additional
application information. If treatments of Aim EC have been made to the crop earlier, that volume
must be considered in determining the maximum use rate as a harvest aid treatment.
Applications must be made in spray volumes sufficient to provide complete coverage of foliage. Use
a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per acre for
aerial application. A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MS O) or crop oil concentrate
(COC) is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray
solution) having at least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate
(COC)(petroleum or seed oil) at 1 to 2 v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution). A high
quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution)
or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic
surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed. Coverage is essential for satisfactory
performance. Repeat application if necessary.

Adjuvant Requirements:
Use a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution). Under dry
conditions, the use of a crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1.0% v/v may improve weed control. The use
of crop oil concentrate can increase leaf speckling and crop response on treated corn leaves.
Directed Spray Applications:
Apply Aim EC HERBICIDE with drop nozzles between the rows to the target weeds and away from
the whorl of the corn plant. Directed spray applications must be used when corn is V8 to V14 stage.
Apply Aim EC HERBICIDE up to 2.0 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai/A). Be aware that weeds growin g in and
under the dense canopies may not receive adequate spray coverage and may require the use of
higher spray volumes for acceptable control. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants including non-ionic
surfactant (NIS), crop oil concentrate (COC), or methylated seed oil (MSO).
Hooded Sprayer Applications:
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of the
crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Harvest Aid:
Apply 1.0 to 2.0 fl oz/A AIM EC HERBICIDE, but not to exceed maximum labeled rates. Refer to
the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AIM EC HERBICIDE USE RATE and the PREHARVEST INTERVAL
Table (Table 2) for additional application information. If treatments of AIM EC have been made to
the crop earlier, that volume must be considered in determining the maximum use rate as a harvest
aid treatment
Applications shall be made in spray volumes sufficient to provide complete coverage of foliage. Use
a minimum of 15 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per acre for
aerial application. A methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil co ncentrate (COC) is required. Use
methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate (COC ) (petroleum or seed oil) at 1 to 2% v/v (1 to 2
gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution). A high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to
4% v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons spray solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2
to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed.
Coverage is essential for satisfactory performance.
Seed Corn Production:
For seed production fields, apply AIM EC HERBICIDE using drop nozzles or other equipment to
make a directed spray treatment. Avoid directing spray solution into the whorl.
Seed corn inbred lines have generally shown good tolerance to AIM EC HERBICIDE. However, all
inbred lines have not been tested. Broadcast applications may result in spray being concentrated
33
into the whorl of the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application into the whorl of
the plants, drop nozzles or other type dir ected sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the
targeted weeds.
Sweet Corn Precaution:
When applying AIM EC HERBICIDE to sweet corn; broadcast applications may result in spray being
concentrated into the whorl of the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application
into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be used to direct the
spray to the targeted weeds.
Use only NIS as the spray adjuvant in sweet corn applications.
Application Precautions:
Leaf speckling can occur when AIM EC HERBICIDE is used with certain crop protection products
and adjuvants. Refer to the Tank Mixtures and Adjuvants requirements sections under PRODUCT
INFORMATION. Bromoxynil mixtures and bentazon mixtures may cause significant crop response
when in contact with crop foliage.
Crop Response
The application of AIM EC HERBICIDE to corn may result in temporary crop response including
speckling or necrosis of the leaves. Grain yields will not be affected. DO NOT make applications
when air temperatures are abnormally cool or humidity is high or if the corn foliage is wet from dew,
rainfall or irrigation. Users must be aware of these inherent risks and accept these risks prior to
application of AIM EC HERBICIDE.
For additional information regarding potential crop response, refer to the PRODUCT
INFORMATION section of the AIM EC HERBICIDE label.

the top of the remaining cotton plants with sufficient spray volume to provide adequate coverage of
the cotton plant, particularly the terminal area. Use higher rates on larger failed cotton. For best
results DO NOT exceed 3 leaf cotton. Coverage is essential for good control.
PRE PLANT BURNDOWN
See instructions under the Pre Plant Burndown section of this label.
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds between the rows of the
crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Post-directed and Lay-by Applications
AIM EC HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide for postemergence directed sprayer or hooded/shielded
sprayer applications for the control of broadleaf weeds in cotton. Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE alone
or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. For specific
mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the PRODUCT
INFORMATION section. Applications of AIM EC HERBICIDE or AIM EC HERBICIDE tank mixes
must be made with directed sprayers or hooded sprayers to prevent contac t of spray solution with
the cotton plant. DO NOT allow spray solution to contact cotton foliage, green stem tissue, or
blooms. Directed spray equipment must position nozzles a minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil,
with nozzles directed beneath the crop canopy. AIM EC HERBICIDE or AIM EC HERBICIDE tank
mix applications shall be made to cotton that is a minimum of 6 inches in height. Applications to
cotton at 5 to 6 nodes or less must be made with hooded or shielded sprayer equipment to
completely avoid contact with cotton plants. Apply lay -by applications of AIM EC HERBICIDE or
AIM EC HERBICIDE tank mixtures at later growth stages of cotton when cotton plants have
achieved a height of 12 inches or more with sufficient bark development and height differen tial
between crop bottom leaves and the soil. Spray solution shall be directed at the base of cotton
plants for minimal contact with green stem tissue or foliage while maintaining maximum contact with
broadleaf weeds that are at appropriate treatment size.
For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches tall and
rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control.
35
Adjuvant Requirements
A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO) or cro p oil concentrate (COC) is required.
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at
least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate (COC)(petroleum or
seed oil) at 1 to 2% v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution). A high quality sprayable
liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4% v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallons spray solution) or ammonium
sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic surfactant methylated
seed oil or crop oil is allowed.
AIM EC HERBICIDE Use Rates and Weeds Controlled
Apply up to 1.6 fl oz/A (0.025 lb ai/A) AIM EC HERBICIDE as a post -directed treatment using a
directed sprayer a hooded sprayer or lay-by sprayer delivering a minimum finished spray volume of
10 gallons per acre. DO NOT apply more than 3.2 fl oz/A (0.05 lb ai/A) AIM EC HERBICIDE per
year by post-directed and lay-by applications. Refer to weed control list in Table 3 for appropriate
weed control information.
For control of additional broadleaf weeds and grasses, AIM EC HERBICIDE may be tank mixed with
other herbicides registered for cotton post -directed and/or lay-by applications. Refer to the other
products label for restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions and
rotational cropping restrictions.
Managed Maturity Application for Cotton
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE as an aid to remove undesirable top growth and reduce unproductive
terminal growth. Use alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton insecticides and herbicides. Read
all product labels and follow all directions and precautions when tank mixing with this product.
Timing
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE when cotton is actively growing and the plants have 1% to 20% open
bolls; with applications at 15% open bolls being optimum. When using the Cotman monitoring
program, apply AIM EC HERBICIDE at NAWF5, plus 450 650 heat units. Avoid Managed Maturity
treatments to fields, or areas of fields, that are stressed.
AIM EC Use Rates Manage Maturity
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast spray at 0.25 fl oz/A (0.004 lb ai/A) to 0.5 fl oz/A (0.008
lb ai/A), targeting 0.375 fl oz/A (0.006 lb ai /A) in spray volume adequate to obtain upper canopy
coverage of the plant foliage. In situations of extremely lush growth, apply up to 0.5 fl oz/A (0.008
lb ai/A). Make applications using a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground
application and a minimum of 5 gallons per acre by air. Good upper canopy coverage is essential
for optimum performance.
Use a quality crop oil concentrate (COC) at the specified rate of 1% v/v.
Defoliation / Harvest Aid Application
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE as a harvest aid to defoliate and desiccate cotton and troublesome
weeds that may be present at harvest. Apply AIM EC alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton
harvest aids.
Use a quality spray adjuvant e.g. nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) at the
specified rates. NIS is the required adjuvant during warmer periods with COC being the better
choice for applications during cooler periods. Make application when 60 to 70 percent of the bolls
are open, or according to the State Agricultural Extension Service guidelines in the use area.
36
Apply up to 1.6 fl oz/A AIM EC HERBICIDE (up to 0.025 lb ai/A) in spray volume sufficient to provide
complete coverage of cotton foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Different production systems dictate different application techniques. Skirted trees are those
allowing the lower branches of the trees to grow to the ground line. Non-skirted trees are grown
in production systems where branches are pruned allowing access to the trunk area.
Equipment and Application
Skirted Orchards and Groves
Hooded sprayers are required for AIM EC HERBICIDE applications in skirted trees. Refer to the
HOODED SPRAYER APPLICATIONS section of this label.
Non-Skirted Orchards and Groves
Apply only by ground equipment including boom sprayers, shielded or hooded sprayers, hand-held
or high-volume wands or orchard guns. Use a minimum of 20 gallons finished spray solution per
broadcast acre.
Weed Control
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE alone or as a tank mix with other registered herbicid es to actively
growing weeds. AIM EC is a contact herbicide and coverage is essential for good weed control.
Use a minimum of 20 gallons finished spray solution per broadcast acre.
DO NOT allow AIM EC spray solution to contact green stem tissue, leaves, fruit or blooms of trees.
AIM EC Application Rates
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE up to 2 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai/A) for postemergence control of susceptible
broadleaf weeds. Refer to weed control list in Table 3 for appropriate weed control information. For
best control, apply to seedling weeds in the 2 to 3-leaf stage. For larger weeds up to 6 leaves, use
42
higher labeled rates of AIM EC HERBICIDE. Weeds greater than 6 leaves may be only partially
controlled.
Adjuvant Requirements
Control is enhanced with the addition of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC).
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints NIS per 100 gallons) or a crop oil concentrate
at 1% v/v (one gallon COC per 100 gallons). AIM EC HERBICIDE may also be applied with labeled
rates of MSO or silicone adjuvants.
Tank Mix
AIM EC HERBICIDE may be mixed with other herbicides that have preemergence or
postemergence activity. AIM EC HERBICIDE only controls emerged vegetation. Any
preemergence activity must rely on activity from registered preemergence herbicides mixed with
AIM EC HERBICIDE. Contact herbicides e.g. glyphosate, glufosinate, and paraquat may be tank
mixed with AIM EC HERBICIDE for broader spectrum weed control. See Mixing and Loading
Instructions under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of this label for specific mixing
instructions. Refer to this and the other products labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
AIM EC HERBICIDE applications will control susceptible emerged broadleaf weeds. Repeat
applications may be necessary for weeds that emerge after an AIM EC HERBICIDE treatment.
Equipment and Application
Apply only by ground equipment including boom sprayers, shielded or hooded sprayers, hand-held
or high-volume wands or orchard guns. Use a minimum of 20 gallons finished spray solution per
broadcast acre.
Dormant Applications
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast application to the base of the trunk to control emerged
and actively growing weeds during the dormant stage of the crop.
46
Post-directed Applications for Broadleaf Weed Control
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE as a directed spray avoiding contact with the berry plant but directed at
actively growing weeds. AIM EC HERBICIDE is a contact herbicide and coverage is essential for
good weed control. DO NOT allow AIM EC H E R B I C I D E spray mist to come in contact with
green stem tissue, desirable fruit, blooms or foliage.
Newly planted bush berries must only be treated with shielded sprayers or hooded sprayers.
AIM EC HERBICIDE Use Rates
Apply up to 2 fl oz/A (0.031 lb ai/A) AIM EC HERBICIDE per broadcast acre. For best control, apply
to seedling weeds in the 2 to 3-leaf stage. Use higher labeled rates of AIM EC HERBICIDE for larger
weeds up to 6 leaves. Weeds greater than 6 leaves may be only partially controlled. See Table 3
for AIM EC HERBICIDE use rates and weeds controlled.
Adjuvant Requirements
A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC) is required.
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having
at least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil concentrate (COC)(petroleum
or seed oil) at 1 to 2 v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution). A high quality
sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4 % v/v (2 to 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution) or
ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in addition to the nonionic
surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed.
AIM EC HERBICIDE may be mixed with other registered herbicides for broader spectrum weed
control. When tank mixing with fertilizer solutions, be sure to prepare an AIM EC HERBICIDE
premixture of AIM EC HERBICIDE and clean water.
See Mixing and Loading Instructions under the PRODUCT INFORMATION section of this label for
specific mixing instructions. Refer to this and the other products labels for mixing instructions,
precautions, and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank-mix partner.
Precautions
Extreme caution must be taken during applications when desirable fruit, foliage and/or blooms
are present in order to avoid spotting or necrosis. DO NOT allow AIM EC HERBICIDE spray mist
to come in contact with green stem tissue, desirable fruit, blooms or foliage.
For seedling or newly transplanted bushes, DO NOT allow spray to contact green bark of trunk
area. Use shielded sprayers only.

in moisture conservation between cropping periods.
69
Preplant Burndown
Apply AI M EC HERBICIDE alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a burn -down
treatment to control or suppress weeds. AIM EC HERBICIDE is effective as a burndown treatment
for crops prior to new plantings. DO NOT exceed the applicable amounts as listed for the specific
crop in the MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE AIM EC HERBICIDE USE in Table 1. For optimum
performance, make applications to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than
3 inches across. Coverage is essential for good control . Optimum broad-spectrum control of
annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix with labeled burndown herbicides including
glyphosate, glufosinate, paraquat, 2,4-D, or dicamba.
Harvest Aid Desiccation Application
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE foliar to potatoes in the later stages of senescence for desiccation of
potato foliage and vines. AIM EC HERBICIDE will also desiccate late season susceptible broadleaf
weeds to aid in tuber harvest. Adequate desiccation is achieved within 14 days after the initial
treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active vegetative growth stage when desiccation is
initiated, two applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem tissue. Dense
potato canopy, large plant size and enviro nmental conditions not conducive to product absorption
or activity will reduce initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second application. If a
second application is necessary, apply at 7 to 14 days after the first application. Thorough
coverage of the potato plant to be desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of water to
obtain thorough coverage of the potato leaves and vines.
Ground Application
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE in at least 20 gallons of water per acre. Vary the spray volume and spray
pressure as indicated by the density of the potato canopy and vines to assure thorough spray
coverage. Increase the spray volume and pressure if the potato canopy is dense or under cool,
cloudy or dry conditions. Increased spray volumes will enhance performance.
Aerial Application
Apply AIM EC HERBICIDE with aerial equipment using 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre, using
higher volumes when potato canopies and vines are dense. Adjust the nozzles to provide a uniform
pattern and a droplet size of 350 to 450 microns.
Adjuvant Requirements
A nonionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO), or crop oil concentrate (COC) or other
suitable surfactant mixture is required. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient, or a methylated seed oil, or crop oil
concentrate (COC)(petroleum or seed oil) at 1 to 2 v/v (1 to 2 gallons per 100 gallons of spray
solution. The use of a high quality sprayable liquid n itrogen fertilizer at 2 to 4% v/v (2 to 4 gallons
per 100 gallon spray solution) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre in
addition to the nonionic surfactant methylated seed oil or crop oil is allowed.
