WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
PRODUCT INFORMATION
x F7488-1 is a soil-applied herbicide for the control of susceptible broadleaf, grass and sedge weeds.
x If adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") from rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days after the
F7488-1 treatment, a shallow incorporation (less than 2”), may be needed to obtain desired weed
control.
x When activating moisture is not received a planned POST application of a labeled herbicide will be
needed for optimum weed control. If an activating rainfall (½” to 1.0”) is not received F7488-1 will
provide a reduced level of control of susceptible germinating weeds.
x Do not apply additional products containing sulfentrazone and pendimethalin to the crop unless
specified in the individual crop section per twelve month season.
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting directions,
rotational crop guidelines and other label information of each product when tank mixing with F7488-1.
Proper handling instructions : F7488-1 may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including
abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or
impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells
and does not apply to impervious pads or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or
application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious
pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad.
Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or
equipment rinse or wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to
either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate
material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity
of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient
size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of
F7488-1, which contains the active ingredients sulfentrazone and pendimethalin is a group 14 and 3
herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations
resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include
the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without
tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate
and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance.
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
management program.
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 F7488-1 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 escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group
14 or 3 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing
further seed production.
· Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is
practical:
· Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
program.
· Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
· Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14 or 3 herbicides.
· Avoid making more than two applications of F7488-1 and any other Group 14 or 3 herbicides within a
single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping
spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
· Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover
crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
· Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
· Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant
weeds.
· Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment
capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment
capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may
have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess
pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application.
Do not apply more than the allowed amount of F7488-1 per acre per twelve-month period as stated in the
Maximum Use Rate Table. The twelve-month period is considered to begin upon the initial F7488-1 application.
For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the Agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
Extreme care must be exercised and the Crop Specific Use Directions followed. See specific crop section
on F7488-1 label.
Mode of Action
F7488-1 provides two modes of action- Protoporpyrinogen Oxidase IX (PPO IX) and a meristematic inhibitor that
interferes with the plants cellular division or mitosis.
Mechanism of Action
Following the application of F7488-1 to soil, germinating seeds and seedlings take up F7488-1 from the soil
solution. The amount of F7488-1 in soil solution available for weed uptake, is determined primarily by soil type,
organic matter and soil pH. F7488-1 adsorbs to the clay and organic matter (OM) fractions of soils; effectively
limiting the amount of active ingredient immediately available to control weeds.
Influence of Soil type, organic matter and pH on F7488-1 Use Rates and Crop
Response
Coarse and high pH >7.2 soils will exhibit increased weed control and crop response with F7488-1. It is important
to know the soil type and pH levels of the field (or areas within a field) for application to determine the proper rate
of F7488-1 for the crop Soil organic matter content and pH can vary widely and independently of soil type and
requires an accurate analysis of representative soil samples to determine its content.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a F7488-1 soil application can
also significantly increase the amount of F7488-1 available in the soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH
greater than 7.2 could result in adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial F7488-1
application rate, timing, amount and pH of irrigation water and sensitivity of the crop and its growth stage when
irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen with the advance in growth stage among most crops.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ground Application
Utilize a sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles providing optimum spray distribution and coverage at the
appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets to avoid
spray drift or inadequate foliar and/or soil coverage. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre by
ground. When tank mixed with a contact burndown herbicide, ground applicators must use a minimum spray
volume of 15 gallons per acre. The sprayer should be properly calibrated to deliver the appropriate volume of
herbicide solution. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning while
spraying may result in excessive application and subsequent crop response.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment
Aerial Application
Aerial application is allowed only when environmental conditions prohibit ground application. Use nozzle types
and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply
sufficient spray volume to achieve adequate coverage. When this product is allowed to be applied by air,
applicator must use a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre. The maximum release height must
be 10 feet from the top of the canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
These requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications. These requirements
do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed ¾ the length of the wingspan or
rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more
than 45 degrees.
3. Observe the regulations of the State where applications are made.
4. Applicators must observe and abide by the requirements of the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory.
5
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application
height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Select coarse to very coarse droplet size when Sulfentrazone is used as a preemergent/preplant application
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than
10 mph, the boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 75% of the
rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for
fixed wing aircraft or 90% of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
•Select medium to very coarse droplet size when Sulfentrazone is used postemergence with a contact
burndown herbicide.
•Do not apply as spray droplets smaller than medium to coarse (defined by the ASABE* standard).
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions
•When this product is allowed to be applied by air, applicator must use a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre
Ground Boom Applications:
• Applicators must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume
and droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields
are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from
a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated
cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spra
y drift.
6
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications:
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
Chemigation Application
F7488-1 may be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, solid
set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Do
not connect any irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water
system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal residues on or in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a F7488-1 soil application can
also significantly increase the amount of F7488-1 available in soil solution. Irrigation with water having a pH
greater than 7.5 could result in adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend on initial F7488-1
application rate, application timing, amount and pH of the irrigation water, and the sensitivity of the crop and the
growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen with advancing growth stages of most
crops.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection
pipeline must also contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back
toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed,
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock
to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a
functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point
where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump)
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
with a system interlock.
F7488-1 should be metered into the irrigation system continuously for the duration of the water application. F7488-
1 should be diluted in sufficient volume to insure accurate application over the area to be treated. Use the
appropriate amount of water to carry the product to the soil surface. Continuous agitation is required to maintain
product suspension in the solution tank. A jar test should be conducted to ensure that phase separation would
not occur during dilution and application. Failure to achieve a uniform dilution throughout the time of application
may result in undesirable residues or less than desirable weed control. Flush the lines at the completion of the
application and then turn the water off promptly.
When using water from public water systems; DO NOT APPLY F7488-1 THROUGH ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM
PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM. Public water system means a system for the
provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections
or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days of the year. F7488-1 may be applied
through irrigation systems, which may be supplied by a public water system only if water from the water system
is discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air
gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the
inside diameter of the fill pipe. Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that
there is no blockage of the overflow of the reservoir tank.
Application with Dry Fertilizers
F7488-1 may be applied impregnated on dry fertilizers. W hen applied as directed with adequate soil coverage,
F7488-1 dry bulk fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control.
Follow all F7488-1 label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops, incorporation, special
instructions and precautions.
Apply F7488-1/dry fertilizer mixtures with ground equipment only.
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the
responsibility of the individual and/or company prepari ng, storing, transporting, selling or applying the F7488-
1/dry fertilizer mixture.
Impregnation Directions
To impregnate F7488-1 on dry bulk fertilizer, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk
fertilizer blender equipped with suitable spray equipment.
Prepare a slurry of F7488-1 in a clean container using clear water. Slowly add the F7488-1/water slurry to the
impregnation spray tank and finish filling as needed with clear water. Spray nozzles must be placed to provide
uniform coverage of F7488-1 onto the fertilizer during mixing.
Refer to the SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT section for directions for cleaning impregnation equipment,
transport equipment, loading equipment and application equipment.
Apply the F7488-1 dry bulk fertilizer with an accurately calibrated dry fertilizer spreader. The F7488-1 dry bulk
fertilizer mixture must be spread uniformly on the soil surface. Uneven spreading leaving untreated areas can
cause poor weed control or overlapping areas with potential increased F7488-1 use rates could result in possible
crop response.
A minimum of 200 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with the listed amount of F7488-1 must be applied
per acre to achieve adequate soil coverage for satisfactory weed control.
DO NOT impregnate F7488-1 onto coated ammonium nitrate or limestone because these materials will not absorb

Application with Liquid Fertilizer
F7488-1 may be applied using liquid fertilizer solutions as the carrier. The fertilizer solutions may either be
concentrate formulations as blended or diluted with water. When applied as directed with adequate soil coverage,
F7488-1 applied with liquid fertilizer mixtures will provide satisfactory weed control. However, adequate soil
coverage is essential to achieve acceptable levels of weed control.
Herbicide mixing, solution stability and/or compatibility problems can occur when liquid fertilizers are used as a
carrier. Compatibility tests must be conducted prior to mixing to insure tank mixture compatibility and stability.
The use of compatibility agents may be beneficial to achieve and maintain a homogenous solution.
Mixing Instructions for Liquid Fertilizer Applications
Fill the clean spray tank to one half of the total volume with the fertilizer solution. Start the spray tank agitation
system. Prepare a slurry of F7488-1 in a clean container with clean water using equal volumes of F7488-1 and
clean water. Slowly add the F7488-1/water slurry to the spray tank. Carefully rinse the slurry container, adding
the rinsate to the spray tank. Better mixing of the F7488-1/water slurry may be achieved if the slurry is added
using induction systems on the sprayer fill plumbing system.
Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level. Sufficient and continuous spray tank agitation is required at
all times to maintain a homogenous spray solution. The spray system must be designed such that there is
sufficient flow capacity to uniformly apply the spray mixture and maintain adequate tank agitation. Some systems
may require separate pumps to simultaneously supply the spray system and the spray tank agitation system.
Insure the F7488-1 slurry is thoroughly mixed before application.
For tank mixtures with other herbicide(s), a compatibility test must be conducted to insure product compatibility
before mixing. Read and follow all the directions, precautions and restrictions of the tank mixture products prior
to mixing.
Apply the F7488-1 spray mixture immediately after mixing. It is not recommended to store the sprayer overnight
or for any extended period of time with the F7488-1 spray mixture remaining in the tank. Thoroughly re-agitate
spray mixture if product is left sitting in the tank for extended period of time.
Do not premix F7488-1 spray solutions in nurse tanks.
Follow all F7488-1 label directions regarding product use rates per acre, registered crops, application instructions,
incorporation directions, special instructions and all precautions.
All individual state regulations relating to liquid fertilizer blending, storage, transportation, registration, labeling,
and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company preparing, selling or applying the F7488-1
and fertilizer mixture.

MIXING AND LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
F7488-1 may be applied alone, or in tank mixtures with other herbicides for the control of additional weed species.
Mixtures with some other pesticides have not been tested. Conduct appropriate compatibility tests prior to tank
mixing with other pesticides. Follow all precautions and restrictions on the tank mix partner label.
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of existing pesticide residues before preparing F7488-1
spray mixtures. Follow the spray tank clean out procedures specified on the label of the product or products
previously applied.
For best results fill spray tank with one half of the volume of clean water needed for the field to be treated. Start
agitation system. Prepare a slurry of F7488-1 in a clean container using clean water. Slowly add the F7488-
1/water 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. Continuous spray tank agitation is required at all times to maintain a
uniform spray solution. Make sure F7488-1 is thoroughly mixed before application or before adding another
product to the spray tank.
Use the F7488-1 spray mixture immediately after mixing. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended
period of time with the F7488-1 spray mixture remaining in the tank.
Do not premix F7488-1 spray solutions in nurse tanks.
If F7488-1 is tank mixed with other herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions and precautions for the tank
mixture herbicides must be followed.
SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT
As soon as possible after spraying F7488-1 and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the
sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid potential crop affects using the following procedure. Residues left
in mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly
cleaned. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other
products mixed with F7488-1 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, 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.
9
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 rinsate 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 F7488-1 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 F7488-1 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.
Do not drain of 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.
REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
If initial planting of labeled crops fails to produce a stand, only crops labeled for F7488-1 or the tank mix partner;
whichever is most restrictive, may be planted based on the amount of product initially applied Do not retreat field
with F7488-1 or other herbicide containing sulfentrazone and pendimethalin Do not plant treated fields with any
crop at intervals that are inconsistent with the Rotational Crop Guidelines on this label. When replanting use
minimum soil tillage to preserve the herbicide barrier and achieve maximum weed control.

PEANUTS
For Use Only in AL, GA, MS, NC, SC, and VA.
Apply F7488-1 alone or in combination with other registered herbicides for the control of key grass and broadleaf
weeds in peanut production. Refer to the information below for specific use directions.
Application Instructions
Incorporation of F7488-1 deeper than 2 inches can result in adverse crop response and/or inconsistent weed
control. Do not use F7488-1 for “at-crack” type applications or apply to exposed peanut tissue. Such use can
result in significant adverse crop response. Under conditions of exceptionally high weed populations or when
weeds not controlled by F7488-1 are anticipated, the use of suitable post-emergent peanut herbicides is
recommended. Broadcast apply the correct F7488-1 use rate from Table below, in a minimum of 10 gallons of
water per acre of finished spray by ground or 5 gallons of water per acre of finished spray by air. Banded F7488-
1 application rates must be adjusted in proportion to the broadcast rate.

Preplant incorporated: Apply F7488-1 up to 14 days prior to planting and incorporate.
Preemergence: Apply F7488-1 at planting or within 12 hours after planting. Apply preemergence to peanuts
grown under overhead irrigation. Proper closed seed furrows are required when applying at planting time or before
seed germination. To prevent decreased crop pegging, adequate incorporation must be achieved by applying a
minimum of 0.75 inches of overhead irrigation or rainfall within 48 hours of application.

*Suppression
Irrigation with alkaline (pH 8 to 9) water can result in adverse crop response. The extent of crop response is
dependent on F7488-1 application rate, soil type (including %OM and pH), timing (after F7488-1 application
relative to crop emergence), amount and pH of irrigation water. Do not irrigate with water greater than pH 9.
After peanuts are established (4” to 6” across in size), the alkalinity of irrigation water has minimal impact on crop
growth.
Precautions
F7488-1 is especially effective against a wide range of economic broadleaf and grass weeds. The same process
that F7488-1 affects in these weeds can, under certain conditions, be affected in peanuts. These conditions
include pH (7.5 and above), cool weather, prolonged and excessive moisture, seedling disease, and other
conditions, including poor agronomic practices, that are unfavorable to vigorous crop growth. Such effects in
peanuts are often observed as stunting and discoloration. The duration of these effects are somewhat dependent
on the duration of the adverse growing conditions. These effects lessen and generally diminish with a return to
normal growing conditions.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7488-1 (sulfentrazone) and the
primary soil and environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among
crops. The user is required to observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application
Instructions, F7488-1 Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled
and any other section of this label pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties
or cultivars of a given crop species have been evaluated under treatment with F7488-1. Consult university or
extension weed management specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any
other pertinent information on F7488-1 under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
Do not apply more than 60 fl oz/A of F7488-1 (0.16 lb ai sulfentrazone and 1.47 lb ai pendimethalin) per twelve-
month period which is considered to begin upon the initial F7488-1 application.
Do not feed treated peanut forage or peanut hay to livestock.
Do not use on soils classified as sand, which have less than 1% organic matter.

Ground and Aerial Applications
Apply F7488-1 by aerial application as a preemergence treatment following planting and after dragoff, but prior
to potato emergence. Optimum performance can be achieved if F7488-1 is applied to the soil surface and either
rainfall or overhead irrigation is used to activate the product. If no moisture is received within 7 days following
application in areas without irrigation, a shallow incorporation (less than 2 inches) may be needed prior to weed
and potato emergence to activate the product. Select the appropriate use rate based on soil texture and organic
matter as shown in Table above. For control of emerged weeds at the time of the F7488-1 application, an
appropriate burndown herbicide and adjuvant labeled for potatoes may be tank mixed with F7488-1 to control
these weeds. Do not apply F7488-1 if the potatoes have emerged from the soil as undesirable crop response
may occur. F7488-1 may be tank mixed with other soil-applied herbicides labeled for use in potatoes to improve
weed management and increase weed control spectrum.
Apply F7488-1 in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray by ground application and 5 gallons of spray by air.
Chemigation Applications
F7488-1 may be applied to potatoes through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end
tow, solid set or hand move irrigation systems. Apply F7488-1 prior to potato emergence using sufficient water
(0.25 to 0.5 inch per acre) to provide thorough soil surface coverage, but to avoid runoff of irrigation water. F7488-
1 may be applied with other products labeled for chemigation use in potatoes.
It is important to note that irrigation with highly alkaline water (high pH) following a F7488-1 soil application may
significantly increase the amount of sulfentrazone and pendimethaline available in soil solution. Irrigation with
water having a pH greater than 7.5 could result in adverse crop response. This response will ultimately depend
on initial F7488-1 application rate, application timing, amount and pH of irrigation water; the sensitivity of the crop
and the crop growth stage when irrigated. The risk of adverse crop response will lessen with advances in the crop
growth stage.
Weeds Controlled
When applied according to directions, F7488-1 will provide control of:
Amaranth, Palmer Ni ghtshade, Eastern black
Filaree, redstem Pi gweed, redroot
Kochia (ALS and Triazine resistant) Pi gweed, smooth
Lambsquarters, common Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf Waterhem p, common
Morningglory, tall Waterhemp, tall
Precautions
Potato varieties may vary in their response to herbicide applications. When using F7488-1 on an untested variety,
always determine the crop tolerance before planting. Some potato varieties, including Sangre, Shepody and
Snowden, have shown sensitivity to F7488-1. Caution should be used when planting these varieties on marginal
coarse soils.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7488-1 and the primary soil and
environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is
required to observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, F7488-1
Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section
of this label pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given
crop species have been evaluated under treatment with F7488-1. Consult university or extension weed

rates in the F7488-1 Use Rate Table above. F7488-1 may be applied with ground or aerial sprayers calibrated to
deliver a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray by ground application and 5 gallons of finished spray by air.
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine
droplets. Apply sufficient spray volume to achieve adequate coverage.
Preplant Incorporated and Preemergence Applications
F7488-1 can be applied prior to planting or up to 2 days after planting. When applications after planting are
delayed greater than 2 days after planting, injury may occur if seeds are germinating. F7488-1 may be applied
preemergence or preplant incorporated. For preplant incorporated applications, incorporation must be uniform
and no deeper than 2 inches. Improper soil incorporation may result in erratic weed control and/or crop injury.
F7488-1 applied near or after crop emergence may cause severe injury to the crop. F7488-1 can be applied alone
or in combination with other labeled soybean herbicides. F7488-1 may be followed by labeled postemergence
soybean herbicides for increased control of grass and broadleaf weeds. Always follow the most restrictive label
when tank mixing. When using F7488-1 in no-till or minimum till cropping systems, tank mix with an appropriate
burndown herbicide for improved control of existing weeds.
Fall Applications
F7488-1 may be applied as a fall treatment to the stubble of harvested crops for the burndown of existing
vegetation and preemergence control of labeled weeds the following spring in no-till and conservation tillage
production systems. Fall applications of F7488-1 must be made in weed control programs that include, as
needed, spring application of preplant, preemergence or postemergence herbicides for the following crop season.
F7488-1 can be applied to the stubble of a harvested crop in no-till or to the soil surface of conservation tillage
fields after harvest when the sustained soil temperature is 55 degrees F and falling at a soil depth of 4 inches.
Apply after September 30 in those areas North of Interstate 90 and after October 15 in those areas North of
Interstate 70. Do not apply F7488-1 as a fall treatment South of Interstate 70. Applications to ridge till production
systems must be made after the formation of ridges or bedded.
If weeds are emerged at the time of application, utilize a tank mixture with a suitable burndown herbicide at labeled
rates. Fall applied burndown treatments should be made with a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to achieve
adequate coverage of the weeds being treated. When making burndown applications to emerged weeds, the
addition of adjuvants such as COC or MSO to the spray mixture can be used to enhance the burndown activity
of the application.
For season long broadleaf weed control an additional tank mix or a plant post broadleaf weed program is required.

Spring Preemergence
F7488-1 can be applied at planting or up to 2 days after planting as a preemerge soil application if seedlings have
not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed and completely covered with soil. For
preemerge applications greater than 3 weeks prior to planting, use the mid to high rate within the appropriate rate
range for the soil and organic matter type listed in the use rate chart above. Adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") is
required for herbicide activation from rainfall or irrigation. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days
after the F7488-1 treatment, a shallow incorporation may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When
activating moisture is not received a planned POST application of a labeled herbicide will be needed for optimum
weed control. If an activating rainfall (½” to 1.0”) is not received F7488-1 will provide a reduced and inconsistent
level of control of susceptible germinating weeds. If dry conditions persist, weed control may be reduced.
If weeds are emerged at the time of F7488-1 application, use a burndown herbicide such as AIM, glyphosate and
paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with F7488-1 or split application as needed.

Spring Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
F7488-1 can be applied as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring up to 60 days prior to planting in
reduced and conventional tillage sunflowers. F7488-1 should be shallowly incorporated in the soil no deeper than
2 inches. Incorporating F7488-1 deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent weed control. Use the appropriate
rate from Table above for the soil texture, organic matter, and pH level.
Weeds Controlled:
When applied according to directions, F7488-1 will provide control of:
*Amaranth, Palmer *Pi gweed, red root
Kochia (ALS and Triazine Resistant) *Pi gweed, smooth
*Lambsquarters, common *Thistle, Russian
Morningglory, ivyleaf *Waterhem p, common
Morningglory, tall *Waterhem p, tall
Nightshade, Eastern black *Witch grass
*Giant foxtail *Fall Panicum
*Green Foxtail *Barn yardgrass
*Crabgrass *Texas panicum
*Sandbur, Field (suppression only) *Goose grass
*Partial control will occur under dry conditions, under hea vy pest pressure or at low use rates under 45 fl oz/A.
Under these conditions plan to use a labeled POST herbicide for improved control.
Precautions
Plant sunflowers1.5” to 2.0” deep and completely cover with soil.
When applying F7488-1 to coarse textured soils, it is recommended that growers allow a minimum of 7-14 days
from application to planting. Best results are achieved with F7488-1 when applications are made early preplant
and greater than 14 days before planting.
Some adverse crop response may occur on coarse textured soils with low organic matter (less than 1.5%) and
pH of 7.2 or higher, or on highly eroded soils, or in areas of calcareous outcroppings. F7488-1 use rates should
be reduced to 28 fl oz in those areas or not applied in these areas at all. Inadequate seed furrow closure or
shallow planting (less than 1.5 inch) may result in undesirable crop response and this product should not be
applied. Poor growing conditions such as excessive moisture, low temperatures, soil compaction and diseases
may also cause undesirable crop response.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7488-1 and the primary soil and
environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is
required to observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, F7488-1
Product Use Rates, Rotational Crop Guidelines, Replanting Instructions, Weed Controlled and any other section
of this label pertinent to the anticipated crop use. It is important to note that not all varieties or cultivars of a given
crop species have been evaluated under treatment with F7488-1. Consult university or extension weed
management specialists for additional information on specific local varieties or cultivars and any other pertinent
information on F7488-1 under specific local conditions.
Restrictions
Do not apply more than 58 fl oz/A of F7488-1 (0.16 lb ai sulfentrazone and 1.43 lb ai pendimethalin) per twelve-
month period to sunflowers which is considered to begin upon the initial F7488-1 application.
Spartan Advance and Spartan Charge also contain sulfentrazone, do not apply these products if F7488-1 has
been previously applied within the same twelve month period.
Do not apply to frozen soils or existing snow cover to prevent F7488-1 runoff from rain or snowmelt that may
occur following application.
Do not apply in California.
Do not feed forage or graze livestock in treated areas.

deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent weed control.
Non-Bedded (Fields where raised beds are NOT formed prior to transplanting)
Perform all accepted cultural practices for land preparation, fertilizer/fungicide incorporation, etc. prior to the
application of F7488-1. Once the field has been prepared for planting, F7488-1 may be lightly preplant
incorporated from 14 days to 12 hours prior to transplanting.
Bedded (Fields where raised beds ARE formed PRIOR to transplanting)
When incorporating prior to bedding, F7488-1 must be thoroughly and uniformly incorporated to a depth no
greater than 2 inches to avoid concentrating F7488-1 in the bed.
15
If initial transplanting fails to produce a uniform stand, tobacco may be replanted. DO NOT re-treat field with a
second application of F7488-1, or any other herbicide containing sulfentrazone or pendimethalin. DO NOT re-
bed. Re-transplant into previously formed, treated beds.
For broad spectrum and optimum grass weed control a grass herbicide application will be required.
Weeds Controlled
When Applied according to directions, F7488-1 will provide partial control of the following weeds:
Amaranthus, palmer Pi gweed, redroot
Filaree, redstem Pi gweed, smooth
Galinsoga, hairy Sida, prickl y
Lambsquarters, common Si gnalgrass, broadleaf
Morningglory, ivyleaf Smartweed, Penns ylvania
Morningglory, tall Nutsed ge, yellow
Precautions
Poor agronomic practices, unfavorable pH soils, diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, drought or other
conditions unfavorable to normal plant growth may adversely effect the growth of tobacco transplants. Weakened
transplants may be more susceptible to herbicide response and diseases, particularly under poor drainage or
compacted soil conditions or when the soil has been saturated for long periods of time. Contact your State
Agricultural Extension Service Specialist for consultation as to the agronomic recommendations suited for your
tobacco varieties and local conditions. Temporary stunting of tobacco may occur if transplants are set too
shallowly, or if heavy rainfall occurs immediately following transplanting. Splashing of treated soil onto tobacco
leaves may cause some localized and inconsequential necrosis. Use sound transplanting practices that insure
treated soil will not wash or crust over tobacco plants.
These Crop Specific Use directions are based upon the interactive effects of F7488-1 and the primary soil and
environmental factors, which affect its activity on various weed species and tolerance among crops. The user is
required to observe the instructions and guidance previously presented under Application Instructions, F7488-1

Fall Applications (For use only in ND, SD, MT, MN, WY)
F7488-1 may be applied in the fall as a preplant treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting dry field
pea and bean the following spring. F7488-1 should be applied to the stubble or soil surface and allow moisture
from rainfall or snow to move the product into the soil. Do not mechanically incorporate in the fall or spring as this
can destroy the herbicide barrier and allowing weed escapes to occur. Do not apply to frozen soils or to existing
snow cover to prevent F7488-1 runoff from rain or snow melt that may occur following application. If weeds are
emerged at the time of F7488-1 application, use a burndown herbicide such as Aim, Rage D-Tech, glyphosate or
paraquat at the full-labeled rate in combination with F7488-1 or split application as needed. Select the appropriate
rate from Table above within the correct soil type and organic matter range. When applying F7488-1 in the fall,
use a mid to high rate within the rate range for the appropriate soil type and organic matter.
Preplant Incorporated (PPI)
Apply F7488-1 as a Preplant Incorporated treatment in the spring up to 60 days prior to planting in reduced and
conventional tillage dry beans and peas. F7488-1 should be shallowly incorporated in the soil no deeper than 2
inches. Incorporating F7488-1 deeper than 2 inches can result in inconsistent weed control. Use the appropriate
rate from Tables above for the soil texture, organic matter, and pH level.
