|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Carfentrazone-ethyl is very toxic to algae and moderatel y 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 waters.
|
||
|
||
Fish Advisory Statement:
|
||
This product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms, pa rticularly 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.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory: This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of label use. This product ma y leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils
|
||
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
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 such as
|
||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment.
|
||
Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected
|
||
to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles
|
||
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion
|
||
usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors
|
||
which can affects the movement of windblown soil incl ude the intensity and direction of prevailing winds,
|
||
vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patte rns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local
|
||
conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.”

|
||
you will apply the product.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, F9870 HERBICIDE is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain
|
||
or develop plants naturally resistant to F9870 HERB ICIDE and other Group 14 herbicides. The resistant
|
||
biotypes may dominate the weed population if these he rbicides 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 F9870 HERBICIDE or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
|
||
among growing seasons 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 cr op 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 po pulations 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 sp ecies; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled
|
||
individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspec ted, prevent weed seed production in the affected
|
||
area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage.
|
||
Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fi elds 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 specialist or certif ied crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
|
||
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE is a water dispersible granule formulation. F9870 HERBICIDE is to be mixed with
|
||
water and applied to labeled crops for selective posteme rgence control of broadleaf weeds. Weed control
|
||
is best when the product is applied to actively growi ng weeds up to 4 inches in height. F9870 HERBICIDE
|
||
is a contact and translocated herbicide with minimal residual activity at labeled use rates.
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. Within a few hours following
|
||
application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days, necrosis
|
||
and death of the plant occur. Under some environmental conditions and with certain spray tank additives,
|
||
herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop. However, the crop recovers quickly with no loss in yield.
|
||
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices
|
||
may affect the activity of F9870 HERBICIDE. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be
|
||
accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed, and weeds
|
||
hardened off by drought are less susceptible to F9870 HERBICIDE.
|
||
|
||
Mixing and Loading Instructions
|
||
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean water. Make sure the agitation system is operating while adding
|
||
products. Prepare a slurry of F9870 HERBICIDE in a clean container using clean water. Slowly add the
|
||
slurry to the spray tank. Carefully rinse the slurry container adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Complete
|
||
filling the spray tank to the desired level. The spray t ank agitation should be sufficient to ensure uniform
|
||
spray mixture during application and must continue until the spray tank has been emptied. When tank-
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
mixing with other products, F9870 HERBICIDE should be mixed in the spray tank first. After the F9870
|
||
HERBICIDE is thoroughly mixed, add the other pr oducts as specified on their label. Ensure the
|
||
compatibility of other products with F9870 HERBICIDE before mixing them together in the spray tank. Avoid
|
||
overnight storage of F9870 HERBICIDE spray mixtures. Premixing F9870 HERBICIDE spray solutions in
|
||
nurse tanks is not recommended. Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the
|
||
spray solution has been applied. Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution
|
||
below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solution to alter the pH range if appropriate.
|
||
|
||
Spray Equipment Clean-Out
|
||
|
||
Many new 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 F9 870 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 cleanout for any
|
||
other products mixed with F9870 HERBICIDE as required on the other product labels. 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, sp ray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia
|
||
solution of Step 2.
|
||
|
||
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by addi ng 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. Remove and clean spray tips
|
||
and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution.
|
||
|
||
5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rins ate in accordance with Federal, State, and local
|
||
regulations and guidelines.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
|
||
|
||
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with F9870 HERBICIDE 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 F9870 HERBICIDE remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray
|
||
equipment, they may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops
|
||
and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.

desired results. If F9870 HERBICIDE is being applied in standing crop situations, application methods and
|
||
adjustments must be precise to prevent undesirable ef fects to the desirable green stem tissue, foliage,
|
||
blooms or fruit of the crop.
|
||
|
||
Ground Applications
|
||
Utilize a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles, spray tips and screens and
|
||
adjusted to provide optimum spray distribution and cove rage at appropriate operating pressures. Utilize
|
||
nozzles which produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished
|
||
spray per acre. Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed population or crop
|
||
canopy. Spray booms should be adjusted to position spray tips at the minimum height of 18” above the
|
||
crop and operated to avoid the application of excessive herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into
|
||
the whorl of the crop. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning
|
||
while spraying may result in higher application rates and possible crop response.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Use nozzles and arrangements that will provide opti mum coverage while producing a minimal amount
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
of fine droplets. Use a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher spray volumes are required
|
||
when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy. Take care to ensure that the application does not
|
||
drift to non-target areas when applying by air.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATIO N SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
|
||
APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
Avoid any drift conditions that would allow the product to contact desirable vegetation. F9870 HERBICIDE
|
||
is not volatile, however; mist from spray drift may cause injury to sensitive plants.
|
||
|
||
The interaction of equipment and weather related fact ors determine 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 agricultural field crops. These requi rements 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
|
||
reduces drift potential but will not prevent drift when applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
|
||
environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
|
||
|
||
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly 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 t hat the spray is released parallel to the
|
||
airstream. A parallel orientation results in larger droplets than other orientations 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 intend ed 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 effe ctive 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 appli cations should 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.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
|
||
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, market ing, 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 added to the following webpage as they become available:
|
||
https://www.epa.gov/reducing-pesticide-drift/epa-verified-and-rated-driftreduction-technologies
|
||
|
||
Wind – Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY
|
||
WINDS CONDITIONS. Drift potential is lowest between winds sp eeds 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 avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Do
|
||
not apply F9870 HERBICIDE when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
|
||
patterns. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could 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 F9870 HERBICIDE during a temperature inversion because the
|
||
drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restri ct 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. Temperatur e 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 – F9870 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).
|
||
|
||
Tank-mixtures
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE may be tank-mixed with other herbicides labeled for the specified crop to control weeds
|
||
not listed on this label, provided that the tank-mix product does not prohibit such mixing. Read the
|
||
manufacturer’s label directions, restrictions, and use precautions for the companion herbicide. Follow the
|
||
most prohibitive restrictions and use precautions for all products used. When tank-mixing F9870
|
||
HERBICIDE with other products, be sure F9870 HERBICIDE is added to the spray tank first. When tank-
|
||
mixing F9870 HERBICIDE with other products, use th e adjuvants recommended on the tank-mix partner
|
||
label. These may include non-ionic surfactant (NIS), crop oil concentrate (COC), 28% nitrogen (UAN),
|
||
ammonium sulfate (AMS) or combinations of these. Leaf speckling can occur when F9870 HERBICIDE is
|
||
used with certain crop protection products and adjuvants. Do not add a surfactant or crop oil concentrate
|
||
when tank-mixing herbicides formulated as emulsifi able concentrates. Use tank-mix applications when
|
||
crop is well established and in the appropriate sta ge of growth for treatment with F9870 HERBICIDE and
|
||
the tank-mix partner. For optimum results, weed species should also be in the proper stage of growth as
|
||
specified on the F9870 HERBICIDE and tank-mix partner label. Read and follow all manufacturers' label
|
||
directions for the companion herbicide except for specific directions on this label.

CORN
|
||
|
||
Field Corn, Seed Corn, Popcorn, Corn Silage, and Sweet Corn (Processing and Fresh Market)
|
||
Apply F9870 HERBICIDE alone or as a tank-mixture with other herbicides to emerged and actively
|
||
growing weeds. Apply to corn in all tillage systems from crop emergence up to 8-leaf collar corn growth
|
||
stage. Do not apply when wind speed and direction are likely to cause spray drift.
|
||
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high and rosettes less
|
||
than 3 inches across.
|
||
|
||
For Broadcast Applications
|
||
Field Corn and Silage Production
|
||
Use 1.0 oz/A F9870 HERBICIDE plus NIS at 0.25% volu me to volume (2 pints per 100 gallons) with or
|
||
without UAN or AMS as described in the adjuvant use requirements section. Apply F9870 HERBICIDE
|
||
alone or as a tank-mixture with other herbic ides to emerged and actively growing weeds.
|
||
Sweet Corn/ Popcorn Production
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE may be applied to sweet corn, howe ver, the user assumes all responsibility for
|
||
herbicide tolerance with such use. All hybrids/vari eties have not been tested for sensitivity to F9870
|
||
HERBICIDE nor does FMC have access to all se ed company or food processor data. Broadcast
|
||
applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of the plant, which 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 target weeds and away from the whorl of the plant. Therefore, any
|
||
crop response arising from the use of F9870 HERBICIDE on sweet corn is the responsibility of the user.
|
||
Use F9870 HERBICIDE only under the direction of the seed company, food processor, or State
|
||
Agricultural Extension Service.
|
||
If necessary, a sequential treatment of this product at 1 oz /A of product may be applied only with drop
|
||
nozzles directed to avoid application into the corn plant whorl.
|
||
For Directed Applications
|
||
Field Corn and Silage
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE may be applied with drop nozzles or other sprayers capable of directing the spray to
|
||
the target weeds and away from the whorl of the corn plant. F9870 HERBICIDE may be used at 2.0 oz/A
|
||
of formulated product using drop nozzles. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants.
|
||
|
||
Sweet Corn, Popcorn Production
|
||
F9870 HERBICIDE may be applied with drop nozzles or ot her sprayers capable of directing the spray to
|
||
the target weeds and away from the whorl of the corn plant. F9870 HERBICIDE may be used up to a
|
||
maximum of 1.0 ounce of formulated product per acre using drop nozzles for control of larger weed sizes
|
||
for those weeds listed below under “Control of Weeds”. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Seed Corn Production (Directed Applications Only)
|
||
For seed production fields, apply F9870 HERBICIDE at 1.0 oz/A formulated product using drop nozzles
|
||
or other equipment to make a directed spray treatment. Avoid directing spray solution into the whorl. Seed
|
||
corn inbreds have generally shown good tolerance to F9870 HERBICIDE, however, all inbreds have
|
||
not been tested. Use appropriate rate of adjuvants.
|
||
|
||
Adjuvant Use Requirements for Weed Control in Corn
|
||
|
||
Non-ionic surfactant (NIS) having at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of
|
||
spray solution) can be used. Spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be used at 2-4 pounds/acre.
|
||
28% urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) may be used instead of AMS at 2-4 qts/100 gallons of spray solution.
|
||
The combination of adjuvants may enhance the level of leaf speckling than either adjuvant alone. Crop oil
|
||
(COC) or crop oil plus either ammonium sulfate or 28% nitrogen may be used with companion herbicides
|
||
listed on this label and may be recommended in certain situations.
|
||
|

|
||
of finished spray for aerial equipment. For optimum re sults, apply F9870 HERBICIDE to weeds up to 4
|
||
inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Use a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) having at least 80%
|
||
active ingredient at 0.25% v/v (2 pints pe r 100 gallons of spray solution) or crop oil (COC) at 0.5 to 1.0%
|
||
v/v (one-half to one gallon per 100 gall ons). Spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be used at 2-4
|
||
pounds/acre. The combination of adj uvants may enhance the level of leaf speckling than either adjuvant
|
||
alone. Crop oil (COC) at 0.5 to 1.0% v/v (one-half to one gallon per 100 gallons).
|
||
|
||
Postemergence Pre-flood Applications to Dry Seeded Rice
|
||

Post Flood Applications to Exposed Weeds
|
||
For post flood applications, apply F9870 HERBICIDE to rice and weeds after the establishment of the
|
||
permanent flood and when 80% of the foliage of the weeds are exposed. Apply F9870 HERBICIDE at 1 to
|
||
2 oz/A (0.04 to 0.077 lb ai/A) to actively growing weeds. Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25 – 0.5%
|
||
v/v (2 – 4 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. For greater activity
|
||
on certain weeds, use a Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) at 0.5 - 1.0% v/v (2 to 4 quarts per 100 gallons). Apply
|
||
when the rice is at the 3-leaf stage or later but prior to boot stage. Do not apply within 48 days of harvest.
|
||
Use a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre for ground application equipment and a minimum
|
||
of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre for aerial application equipment. For optimum results, make
|
||
applications to small rather than larger weeds. If water level has been lowered to allow this treatment, it
|
||
should be returned to normal levels 24 hours following treatment. Users of F9870 HERBICIDE must hold
|
||
the water on the rice fields for 23 days following treatment.
