PRODUCT INFORMATION
Accurate® is for use on Wheat, Barley, Triticale, Grain Sorghum, Fallow, Grasses, Non-crop Areas (such as
private, public and military lands, airports, highways, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage disposal areas,
uncultivated agriculture areas, non-crop producing (including farmyards, fuel storage areas, fence rows, soil
bank land and barrier strips), industrial sites, outdoor (including lumberyards, pipeline and tank farms)
including grazed areas on these sites, ditchbanks of dry drainage ditches, certain types of unimproved turf
grass, conifer and hardwood plantations, CRP, Pastures and Rangeland.
Check with your state extension or Department of Agriculture before use to be certain Accurate is registered
in your state. Accurate is not registered for use in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, RioGrande, and Saquache
counties of Colorado. There are no grazing restrictions on use in wheat, barley, or triticale.
Accurate is a water dispersible granule that controls weeds in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale,
pasture, rangeland grasses, CRP and fallow. Accurate is mixed in water or can be preslurried in water and
added to liquid nitrogen carrier solutions and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. A surfactant should be
used in the spray mix unless otherwise specified on this label. Accurate is noncorrosive, nonflammable,
nonvolatile, and does not freeze.
Accurate controls weeds by postemergence activity. For best results, apply Accurate to young, actively
growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed spectrum and size of weeds at application. The degree
and duration of control may depend on the following factors:
weed spectrum and infestation intensity
weed size at application
environmental condition at and following treatment.
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
Accurate is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. Leaves of
susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing point subsequently
dies.
Application of Accurate provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that shade competitive weeds.
Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be satisfactory. However, a crop canopy
that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
Accurate may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as extreme
temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the
crop may be sensitive to treatment with Accurate under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of such
varieties may injure crops.
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds; in cold, dry
conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress
are less susceptible to Accurate.
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
FALLOW
Use Rates

| Weed suppression is a reduction in weed competition (reduced population and/or vigor) as visually
compared to an untreated area. The degree of suppression varies with the rate used, the size of the
weeds, and the environmental conditions following treatment.
NOTE: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is very important.
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS:
Blue Mustard, Flixweed, and Tansy mustard: for best results, apply Accurate tank mixtures with 2,4-D or
MCPA postemergence to mustards, but before bloom.
Canada Thistle and Sowthistle: Apply either Accurate plus surfactant or Accurate plus 2,4-D or MCPA in
the spring after the majority of thistle have emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6" elongating stems) and
actively growing. The application will inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with the crop.
Corn Gromwell and Prostrate Knotweed: Apply Accurate plus surfactant when weeds are actively growing,
and no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-D or MCPA
with Accurate can improve results.
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to
occur. For best results, use Accurate in a tank mix with Dicamba and 2,4-D, or bromoxynil and 2,4-D (such
as %-1 pint "Buctril" + %-3/8 pound active 2,4-D ester). Accurate should be applied in the spring when kochia,
Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2" across and are actively growing (refer to Tank
Mixtures section of this label for additional details).
Sunflower (common/volunteer): Apply either Accurate plus surfactant or Accurate plus 2,4-D or MCPA
after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall and are actively growing. Use spray volumes of
at least 3 gallons by air or 5 gallons by ground.
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply Accurate plus 2,4-D or MCPA when plants have no more than 3
true leaves (not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay treatment until
environmental conditions favor active weed growth.
TANK MIXTURES IN CEREALS (WHEAT,
BARLEY AND TRITICALE)
Read and follow all manufacturers' instructions for any companion herbicides, fungicides, and/or
insecticides. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix that product with Accurate. Read
and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any companion products before
using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive labeling.
Accurate may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control weeds listed under
Weeds Suppressed, weeds resistant to Accurate, or weeds not listed under Weeds Controlled.
With 2,4-D famine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
Accurate can be used as a tank mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA (ester formulations provide best
results) herbicides after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 0.10 oz. of Accurate per acre: add
2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at % to Va Ib. active ingredient. Surfactant may be added to the
mixture at !4 to 1 qt. per 100 gallons of spray solution: however, adding surfactant may increase the
potential for crop injury.
Apply Accurate plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf stage but before boot (with Durum and Wampum varieties
do not apply before tillering). Apply Accurate plus 2,4-D after tillering (refer to appropriate 2,4-D
manufacturer's label), but before boot.
With Dicamba
For best results, apply Accurate at 0.10 oz. per acre: add 1/16 to 1/8 Ib. active ingredient dicamba.
Surfactant may be added to the mixture at !4 to 1 qt. per 100 gallons of spray solution: however, adding
surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Also refer to dicamba labels for application timing
and restrictions.
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) and Dicamba
Accurate may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of dicamba and 2,4-D. Observe all
applicable directions, restrictions and precautions on labels of all products used.
Make applications at 0.10 oz. of Accurate + 1/16-1/12 Ib. active ingredient dicamba + 4-6 oz. active 2,4-D
Ester or Amine per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Add 1-2 pts. of surfactant to
the 3 way mixture, where necessary, as deemed by local guidance. Use of additional surfactant may not
be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester phenoxy formulations. Consult the specific 2,4-D or
dicamba label, or local recommendations for more information.
Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In
Spring Wheat (including Durum wheat) apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 5-leaf
stage.
Do not apply this 3-way mixture at high rates more than once a year or more than twice per year at the low
rates.
With Bromoxynil (such as "Buctril", "Bronate")
Accurate may be tank mixed with bromoxynil containing herbicides registered for use on wheat, barley, or
fallow. For best results, add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3 to 6 oz. active ingredient per
acre (such as "Bronate" or "Buctril" at % -1 V4 pts. per acre).
With Fluroxypyr (such as "Starane")
For improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall), Russian thistle, mustard species and wild buckwheat, Accurate
may be tank mixed with 1/3 to 1 1/3 pts. per acre of "Starane."
With "Starane" + "Salvo"
For improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall) Russian thistle, mustard species and wild buckwheat, Accurate
may be tank mixed with 2/3 to 2 2/3 pts. per acre of "Starane" + "Sword."
With "Starane" + "Sword"
For improved control of Kochia (2-4" tall) Russian thistle, mustard species and wild buckwheat, Accurate
may be tank mixed with % to 2 % pts. per acre of "Starane" + "Sword."
With "Maverick"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Maverick" herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
With "Aim"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Aim" herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
With "Stinger", "Curtail", or "Curtail M" or "Widematch"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Stinger". "Curtail", or "Curtail M" or "Widematch" herbicides for
improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
With NUANCE Herbicide
Accurate may be tank mixed with NUANCE Herbicide based on local guidance.
With NIMBLE Herbicide
Accurate may be tank mixed with NIMBLE Herbicide based on local guidance.
With Grass Control Products
Tank mixtures of Accurate and grass control products may result in poor grass control. Cheminova
recommends that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent.
Agricultural dealer, or Cheminova representative as to the potential for antagonism before using the
mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of Accurate and the grass product to a small
area. Do not tank mix Accurate with "Hoelon" 3EC, as grass control may be reduced.
With "Assert" herbicide or "Avenge" herbicide
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Avenge" or "Assert". When tank mixing Accurate with "Assert", always
include another broadleaf weed herbicide with a different mode of action (for example: 2,4-D ester, MCPA
ester, "Buctril," or "Bronate"). Tank mixed applications of NUANCE™ plus "Assert" may cause temporary
crop discoloration, stunting, or injury when heavy rainfall occurs shortly after application.
With "Puma"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Puma" herbicide for improved control of weeds in wheat and barley.
With "Discover NG"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Discover NG" herbicide for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
With "Everest"
Accurate can be tank mixed with "Everest" herbicide for improved control of weeds in spring wheat.
With Insecticides and Fungicides
Accurate may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides and fungicides registered for use on
cereal grains.
However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2 - 4 leaf stage),
tank mixes or sequential applications of Accurate with organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion,
"Di-Syston") may product temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury.
The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to
or soon after application.
Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
Do not apply Accurate within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide (such as
"Di-Syston") has been applied as an in-furrow treatment as crop injury may result.
Do not use Accurate plus malathion as crop injury will result.
With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility
test before mixing Accurate in fertilizer solution.
Accurate must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions (e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0).
Ensure that the agitator is running while the Accurate is added. Use of this mixture may result in
temporary crop yellowing or stunting.
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution
volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at Vi pt - 1 qt per 100 gal of spray
solution (0.06 - 0.25% v/v) based on local guidance.
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk
of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or Cheminova representative for a
specific information before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with Accurate and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more
compatible (see manufacturer's label). Do not add surfactant when using Accurate in tank mix with 2,4-D
ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
Note: In certain areas east of the Mississippi river unacceptable crop response may occur with use of
straight or dilute nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions where cold temperatures or widely fluctuating day/night
temperatures exist. In these areas consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or
Cheminova representative before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions.
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulphur can increase crop response.
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
ACCURATE HERBICIDE WITH MCPA, 2,4-D AND/OR
DICAMBA FOR SUPPRESSION OF WINTER ANNUAL BROADLEAF
WEEDS IN WINTER WHEAT TO BE GRAZED OUT IN THE STATES OF
TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, NEW MEXICO, and KANSAS
Accurate herbicide can be tank mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D and/or dicamba for suppression of winter annual
broadleaf weeds in winter wheat to be grazed out and not harvested for grain, in the states of Texas,
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas.
For the suppression of winter annual broadleaf weeds (such as henbit and mustards) in winter wheat in
the states of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas, Accurate at 0.05 (1/20) oz. per acre should be
tank mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D and/or dicamba at label rates. Winter annual broadleaf weeds should be
less than 1" tall or in the rosette stage for suppression. Add a Cheminova recommended nonionic
surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 1 to 2 qts. per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.25 to
0.5% v/v).

Rotation intervals for crops not covered above following the use of Accurate at 0.05 (1/20) oz. per acre on
wheat that will be grazed out.
The minimum rotation interval is 22 months with at least 18" of cumulative precipitation during the period:
• to any crop not listed on the rotation intervals table above
• if the soil pH is not in the specified range
To rotate to a crop at an interval shorter than specified, a field bioassay must be successfully completed to
rotate to that crop. See section on Field Bioassay for further information.
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS
This treatment is for use on winter wheat that will be grazed out and will not be harvested for grain
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
Accurate suppresses weeds by postemergence activity. For best results, apply Accurate to young,
actively growing weeds. The degree and duration of suppression at 0.05 oz. per acre may depend upon
the following factors:
• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
• weed size at application
• environmental condition at and following treatment
WHEAT, BARLEY AND TRITICALE-
HARVESTAID
Use Rates
Apply 0.10 oz. of Accurate per acre in combination with 2,4-D or Glvfos X-tra to aid in dry down of many
broadleaf weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest.
Application Timing
Make applications after the crop has reached the hard dough stage, but no later than 10 days before
harvest.
TANK MIXTURES IN HARVEST AID
A tank mix of Accurate plus 2,4-D and surfactant, or Glvfos X-tra. will typically aid in dry down of many
broadleaved weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest. Postemergence application should be made to actively
growing weeds after the crop is in the hard dough stage. If weeds are not dry within 10 days after
application, delay harvest until weeds are dry.
See weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label.
With 2,4-D
Use 0.10 oz. Accurate plus % to Va Ib. active ingredient 2,4-D per acre on moderate weed infestations;
higher rates of 2,4-D may be used on large weeds if permitted by the 2,4-D brand labeling. Include 1 to 2
qt surfactant per 100 gal spray solution.
10
In addition to the weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label, the 2,4-D combination will also dry
down common cocklebur, marestail, puncturevine and common and wild sunflower. In areas where 2,4-D
use is restricted, apply Accurate with surfactant only; however, this treatment may be less effective.
With Glyfos®XTRA
Use 0.10 oz. Accurate plus the locally labeled rate of Glyfos XJRA (see Glyfos XTR& label for maximum
seasonal rate). Accurate requires the use of an adjuvant for optimum activity - Consult the Glyfos XTRA
label or local guidance for the amount of adjuvant to include.
GRAIN SORGHUM
Use Information
Accurate is for use on irrigated or dryland grain sorghum in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
Texas (North of I-20).
Use Rates: Apply Accurate at 0.05 oz. per acre plus % Ib. active ingredient 2,4-D amine per acre. Do not
use surfactant or crop oil.
Crop Stage: For optimum performance and crop safety, apply Accurate plus 2,4-D amine when grain
sorghum is 3 to 15 inches in height. If sorghum is taller than 10 inches to the top of the canopy, use drop
nozzles and keep spray off the foliage. Apply only before the boot stage. Read and follow all other use
instructions, warnings and precautions on companion herbicide labels.
Sorghum varieties vary in sensitivity to 2,4-D amine. Spray only varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-D
amine. Contact seed company and Local County Extension Service for this information.
Pest Stage: Application of Accurate plus 2,4-D amine should be made when all or a majority of the
weeds have germinated and emerged. For best results, spray when weeds are less than 6 inches tall.
Weeds Controlled with Tank Mix of Accurate plus 2.4-D amine:
• Pigweed species
• Puncture vine
• Velvetleaf
Application Information
Accurate may be applied to grain sorghum by properly calibrated ground or aerial equipment. Accurate
can be used on either dryland or irrigated grain sorghum. If application is made to irrigated sorghum,
delay first post-treatment irrigation for at least 3 days after treatment. The first post-treatment irrigation
should not exceed 1".
Use cultivation prior to Accurate + 2,4-D amine treatment to cover exposed brace roots of grain sorghum
to minimize injury from 2,4-D amine.
RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Temporary crop yellowing and/or stunting may occur soon after application, especially when crop
is under stress conditions.
• Do not use on grain sorghum grown for seed production or syrup. Do not use on forage sorghum.
• Do not use for forage or silage within 30 days of application.
• Do not include a surfactant or crop oil to the tank mix.
• Do not apply this treatment under cold, wet weather conditions or to grain sorghum growing under
stress caused by weather, insects or disease as crop injury may result.
• Do not apply to long season grain sorghum varieties or grain sorghum that is planted after July 1,
as crop injury or delayed maturity may occur.
• Do not exceed (1) one application per year.
• Accurate must be used with 2,4-D; in areas where 2,4-D use is restricted, follow requirement of
the restriction. If 2,4-D use is prohibited, do not use Accurate on grain sorghum.
11
Field Bioassay
To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or crops you plan to grow the following year in
fields previously treated with Accurate. Crop response to the bioassay will indicate whether or not to
rotate to the crop(s) grown in the test strips.
SURFACTANTS
Spray Adjuvants
Except for applications in grain sorghum, for which a surfactant or crop oil is prohibited, applications of
Accurate must include either a nonionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate. In addition, an ammonium
nitrogen fertilizer may be used. If another herbicide is tank mixed with Accurate select adjuvants
authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR
4004180).
Antifoaming agents may be needed. Consult your Ag dealer or applicator for a listing of appropriate
surfactants.
Nonionic Surfactants (NIS)
• Apply 0.06 to 0.50% v/v (1/2 to 4 pts. per 100 gallons of spray solution) - see Tank Mixtures
section for'additional information.
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic
balance (HUB) greater than 12.
Exceptions: On all spring wheat and spring or winter barely use V4 to 1qt. per 100 gallons.
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable
seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 qts./acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (DAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2
Ibs./acre of spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qts./acre UAN or 4 Ibs./acre AMS under
arid conditions.
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
Special Adjuvant Types
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS,
COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and
restrictions.
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the
same functionality.
Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.

Release - Directed Spray in Conifers
Western US
To release conifers from competing brush species, such as, blackberry, salmonberry, snowberry,
thimbleberry and wild roses, mix 2 to 4 ounces of Accurate per 100 gallons of spray solution. Direct spray
onto the foliage of competing brush species using a knapsack or backpack sprayer. For best results,
apply any time after the brush species have reached full leaf stage but before autumn coloration. At
application, the majority of the brush species should be less than six feet in height to help ensure
adequate spray coverage. Thorough coverage of the target foliage is necessary to optimize results. Care
should be taken to direct the Accurate spray solution away from the conifer foliage.
..---{ Formatted: English (U.S.)
"NOTE:""
Accurate may cause temporary yellowing and or growth suppression when the spray solution contacts
conifer foliage. The use of a surfactant with Accurate may improve brush control results. When using a
surfactant with Accurate, extra precaution must be taken to avoid contact with conifer foliage. Excessive
drift onto conifers may result in severe injury.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
—CONIFER PLANTATIONS ONLY
• Applications of Accuratemade to conifers that are suffering from loss of vigor caused by insects,
diseases, drought, winter damage, animal damage, excessive soil moisture, planting shock, or other
stresses may injure or kill the trees.
• Applications of Accurate made for herbaceous release should only be made after adequate rainfall has
closed the planting slit and settled the soil around the roots following transplanting.
• Do not apply Accurate to conifers grown as ornamentals.
• Accurate applications may result in damage and mortality to other species of conifers when they are
present on sites with those listed in the preceding directions for conifer plantations.
HARDWOOD PLANTATIONS
Application Information
Apply Accurate at rates of up to 2 ounces per acre for the control of many weed species on sites where
yellow poplar is growing or is to be planted, and on sites where red alder is to be planted. Apply by ground
equipment or by air (helicopter only). Refer to the 'Weeds Controlled" sections of this label for a listing of
susceptible species.
Application Timing
Accurate may be applied as a site preparation treatment prior to planting red alder or yellow poplar. As a
prior to planting site preparation treatment for red alder, Accurate may be tank mixed with other
herbicides labeled for this use.
Accurate may also be applied over-the-top of planted yellow poplar seedlings after the soil has settled
around the root system, but before the seedlings have broken dormancy (prior to bud break).
Release-Herbaceous Weed Control
Accurate may be applied to yellow poplar for the control of herbaceous competition. Consult the "Weeds
Controlled" for a listing of the susceptible species and application rates. Best results are obtained when
Accurate is applied just before weed emergence until shortly after weed emergence.

• The use of surfactant is not recommended for applications made over the tops of trees.
• Careful consideration must be given by an experienced and knowledgeable forester to match the
requirements
of yellow poplar and/or red alder to the conditions of the site. Treatment of yellow poplar and/or red alder
planted on a site inadequate to meet its requirements may injure or kill the seedlings.
PASTURE, RANGELAND, CRP
Accurate is used for the control of broadleaf weeds, brush and several woody vine species in the
establishment, maintenance and restoration of pasture, rangeland, and CRP.
Accurate may be tank mixed with other pesticides labeled for use in pasture, rangeland and CRP. Read and
follow the labels on all products used in the tank mix. Observe the most restrictive precautions on each of the
product's labels.
APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR GRASS ESTABLISHMENT IN PASTURE, RANGELAND AND
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP)
Accurate is registered for the control or suppression of broadleaf weeds to aid in the establishment of the
following perennial native or improved grasses planted in pasture, rangeland or acres enrolled in the
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP):
• Blue grama
• Bluestems - Big, Little, Plains, Sand, WW Spar
• Buffalograss
• Green sprangletop
• Kleingrass
• Indian ricegrass
• Lovegrasses - atherstone, sand, weeping, wilman
• Orchardgrass
• Sideoats grama

tall, thickspike, Western
• Wildrye grass - Russian
Maximize potential for grass establishment by consulting the Natural Resource and Conservation Service
of other government agencies or local experts concerning planting techniques and other cultural practices.
Performance from Accurate may not always be satisfactory due to the inability of newly planted grass
stands to sufficiently compete with weeds, and the severity of weed pressure in new grass stands. An
additional herbicide application or mowing may be needed.
Use Rates and Application Timing for Grass Establishment Preplant (prior to planting) or
Preemergence (after planting but before grass emergence)
20
Do not use more than 0.10 ounce per acre of Accurate for grass establishment. Apply Accurate at 0.10
ounce per acre on all labeled grasses except orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass. Do not apply
Accurate preplant or preemergence to orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass as severe crop injury may
result.
Early postemergence to new plantings
Apply Accurate at 0.10 ounce per acre, plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution on all labeled grasses any time after grass emergence. Do not use a spray
adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant. Because grass species differ in time of emergence, apply only
after the majority of grasses are in the 3- to 4-leaf stage.
Postemergence to stands with 1- to 5-leaf grasses planted the previous season
Apply Accurate at 0.10 ounce per acre plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution, on all labeled grasses when the majority of the grasses have one or more
leaves. Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant.
Use Rates for Established Grasses In Pasture, Rangeland and CRP
Apply up to 1 2/3 ounces of Accurate per acre as a broadcast application to established grasses in
pasture, rangeland and CRP. For spot applications, use 1 ounce per 100 gallons of water. Do not apply
more than 1 2/3 ounces of Accurate per acre per year in pasture, rangeland and CRP.
Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED section of this label for a listing of weeds controlled by Accurate and
the appropriate use rate to obtain control.
Application Timing - Established Grasses In Pasture, Rangeland, and CRP
Accurate may be applied to established native grasses such as bluestems and grama, and on other
established grasses such as bermudagrass, bluegrass, orchardgrass, bromegrass, fescue and timothy

Fescue Precautions:
Note that Accurate may temporarily stunt tall fescue, cause it to turn yellow, or caust seedhead suppresseion.
To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions:
Do not use more than 0.4 ounces/acre of Accurate
Tank mix 2,4-D with Accurate applications
Use the lowest specified rate for target weeds
Use only a non-ionic surfactant at % to 1 pt. per 100 gal of spray solution
Make application later in the spring after the new growth is 5 to 6 inches tall, or in the fall
Do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier
Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant
The first cutting yields may be reduced due to seedhead suppression resulting from treatment with Accurate.
Timothy Precautions:
Do not use more than 0.4 ounces/acre of Accurate
Tank mix 2,4-D with Accurate applications
Use the lowest specified rate for target weeds
Use only a non-ionic surfactant at Vi to 1 pt. per 100 gal of spray solution
Make application in the late summer or fall
Do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier
Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant
Application of Accurate to Pensacola bahiagrass, ryegrass (Italian or perennial) and Garrison's creeping
foxtail may cause severe injury to and/or loss of forage.
Other Pasture and Rangeland Grasses:
Varieties and species of forage grasses differ in their tolerance to herbicides. When using Accurate on a
particular grass for the first time, limit use to a small area. If no injury occurs throughout the season, larger
acreage may be treated the following season.
Broadleaf forage species such as alfalfa and clover are highly sensitive to Accurate and will be severely
stunted or injured by Accurate.
£ROP ROTATION
Before using Accurate, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do
not treat all of your pasture, rangeland or CRP acres at the same time.
-{ Formatted: English (U.SQ~
22
Minimum Rotational Intervals
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of Accurate applied. Accurate
breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil
moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase Accurate breakdown in soil,
while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow Accurate breakdown.
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil
moisture, can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil
temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored regularly when considering crop rotations.
• The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated
date of the next planting.
Soil pH Limitations
Accurate should not be used on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could
extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, Accurate could remain in the soil
for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be
extremely sensitive to low concentrations of Accurate.
Checking Soil pH
Before using Accurate, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. Jo obtain a representative pH
value for the test area, take several 0" to 4" samples from different areas of the field and analyze them
separately. Consult local extension publications for additional information on soil sampling procedures.
BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop not listed (see Rotation Intervals table), or
if the soil pH is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not specified in the table, or if the
minimum cumulative precipitation has not occurred since application.
Grazing/Haying Restrictions
When used as directed, there are no grazing or haying restrictions for use rates of 1.66 ounce per acre or
less. Coveralls, shoes plus socks must be worn if cutting within four hours of treatment.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
• Do not apply more than 1.66 ounces of Accurate per acre per year on pastures, rangeland, or CRP.
• Grass species or varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. If no information is available,
limit the initial use of Accurate to a small area.
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, high pH, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in
day/night temperatures prior to or soon after Accurate application, temporary discoloration and/or grass
injury may occur. Injury may result when Accurate is applied to grass that is stressed by severe weather
conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soils, disease, or insect damage. Severe winter stress,
drought, disease, or insect damage before or following application also may result in grass injury.
• Applications of Accurate to lands undersown with legumes may cause injury to the legumes. Legumes in
a seeding mixture may be severely injured or killed following an application of Accurate.
• Applications made to some established grasses may cause temporary stunting, yellowing or seedhead
suppression (i.e., fescue, timothy).
• Applications made to newly established grasses less than 2 years from seeding may result in injury or
loss.
• Do not apply to forage grasses known to be sensitive to Accurate and will be severely injured or killed.
« The control of weeds in wheel track areas may be reduced if ground applications are made when dry,
dusty field conditions exist. The addition of 2,4-D or MCPA may improve weed control under these
conditions.
Formatted: English (U.S.)
23
SPOT TREATMENTS
Accurate may be used for spot treatment to control noxious and troublesome weeds on pasture,
rangeland, non-crop areas, such as, roadsides and industrial sites including government and private
lands.
Application Information
Accurate may be used to control many species of weeds, including noxious weeds, in certain established
grasses growing on non-crop areas and forage grasses growing on pasture and rangeland. Refer to the
"Weeds Controlled" section of the package label or supplemental labeling for a listing of susceptible weed
species. If the sprayer is calibrated, consult the package label or other supplemental labeling to select the
application rate per acre of Accurate appropriate for the target weeds. Or mix one gram of Accurate per
one gallon of water along with a suitable surfactant. Spray to the point of wetting the entire surface of the
target weeds, approximately 40 gallons of solution per acre. When applied in this manner there is no
grazing restrictions following the use of Accurate. Applications may be made at anytime of the year,
except when the soil is frozen.
NON-AGRICULTURAL USES
Non-Agricultural Use Requirements

"Suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population or vigor) as compared to
untreated areas. Degree of suppression will vary with the size of weed and environmental conditions
following treatment.
Application Timing
For established grasses, apply when weeds are in the seedling stage.
For grasses in the seedling stage, apply preplan! or preemergence where the soil (seed bed) has been
cultivated.
JMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS.- NATIVE GRASSES
• Grass species or varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. If no information is
available, limit the initial use of Accurate to a small area. Components in a grass seed mixture will vary in
tolerance to Accurate so the final stand may not reflect the seed ratio.
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, high pH, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in
day/night temperatures prior to or soon after Accurate application, temporary discoloration and/or grass
injury may occur. Accurate should not be applied to grass that is stressed by severe weather conditions,
drought, low fertility, water-saturated soils, disease, or insect damage as grass injury may result. Severe
winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage before or following application also may result in grass
injury.

Testing has indicated that there is considerable variation in response among the species of grasses when
seeded into areas treated with Accurate. If species other than those listed above are to be planted into areas
treated with Accurate, a field bioassay must be performed, or previous experience may be used, to determine
the feasibility of replanting treated sites (See "Bioassays" in section for Pastures, Rangeland, and CRP).
Additional Grass Information
Application for Grass Establishment
Accurate may be used for the control or suppression of broadleaf weeds to aid in the establishment
of the following perennial native or improved grasses:
Blue grama
Bluestems- Big, Little, Plains, Sand, WW Spar
Buffalograss
Green sprangletop
Kleingrass
Indian ricegrass
Lovegrasses - atherstone, sand, weeping, wilman
Orchardgrass
Sideoats grama
Switchgrass - blackwell
Wheatgrasses - bluebunch, crested, intermediate, pubescent, Siberian, slender, steambank, tall,
thickspike, Western
• Wildrye grass - Russian
Maximize potential for grass establishment by consulting the Natural Resource and Conservation Service
of other government agencies or local experts concerning planting techniques and other cultural practices.
Performance from Accurate may not always be satisfactory due to the inability of newly planted grass
stands to sufficiently compete with weeds, and the severity of weed pressure in new grass stands. An
additional herbicide application or mowing may be needed.
Use Rates and Application Timing for Grass Establishment Preplan! (prior to planting) or
Preemergence (after planting but before grass emergence)
Do not use more than 0.10 ounce per acre of Accurate for grass establishment. Apply Accurate at 0.10
ounce per acre on all labeled grasses except orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass. Do not apply
Accurate preplan! or preemergence to orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass as severe crop injury may
result.
Early postemergence to new plantings
Apply Accurate at 0.10 ounce per acre, plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution on all labeled grasses any time after grass emergence. Do not use a spray
adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant. Because grass species differ in time of emergence, apply only
after the majority of grasses are in the 3- to 4-leaf stage.
Postemergence to stands with 1- to 5-leaf grasses planted the previous season
Apply Accurate at 0.10 ounce per acre plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution, on all labeled grasses when the majority of the grasses have one or more
leaves. Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant.
APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR ESTABLISHED GRASSES
Use Rates for Established Grasses
Apply up to 1 ounce of Accurate per acre as a broadcast application to established grasses. For spot
applications, use 1 ounce per 100 gallons of water. Do not apply more than 1.66 ounces of Accurate per
27
23-1
acre per year in pasture, rangeland and CRP.
Application Timing - Established Grasses
Accurate may be applied to established native grasses such as bluestems and grama, and on other
established grasses such as bermudagrass, bluegrass, orchardgrass, bromegrass, fescue and timothy
that were planted the previous growing season (or earlier) and are fully tillered, unless otherwise directed
on this label. Specific application timing information on several of these grass species follows:
Minimum time from
grass establishment
Grass to Accurate application
Bermudagrass 2 months
Bluegrass, bromegrass, orchardgrass 6 months
Timothy 12 months
Fescue 24 months
Fescue and Timothy Precautions:
When used on fescue and timothy grasses, Accurate may cause reduced first cutting yields due to temporary
stunting, leaf yellowing, or seedhead suppression. To minimize these symptoms, take the following
precautions:
tank mix 2,4-D with Accurate applications
use the lowest specified rate for target weeds
use only a non-ionic surfactant at % to 1 pt. per 100 gal of spray solution
make application when the grasses are 5 to 6 inches tall in the late summer or fall
when liquid nitrogen is the spray carrier, do not include the surfactant
Other Grasses:
Application of Accurate to Pensacola bahiagrass, ryegrass (Italian or perennial) and Garrison's creeping
foxtail may cause severe injury to and/or loss of forage.
Varieties and species of forage grasses differ in their tolerance to herbicides. When using Accurate on a
particular grass for the first time, limit use to a small area. If no injury occurs throughout the season, larger
acreage may be treated the following season.
Broadleaf forage species such as alfalfa and clover are highly sensitive to Accurate and will be severely
stunted or injured by Accurate.

CROP ROTATION
Before using Accurate, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options.
Minimum Rotational Intervals
Minimum rotation intervals* are determined by the rate of breakdown of Accurate applied. Accurate
breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil
moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase Accurate breakdown in soil,
while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow Accurate breakdown.
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil
moisture, can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil
temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored regularly when considering crop rotations.
* The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated
date of the next planting.
28
Soil pH Limitations
Accurate should not be used on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual activity could
extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, Accurate could remain in the soil
for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and barley. In addition, other crops planted in high-pH soils can be
extremely sensitive to low concentrations of Accurate.
Checking Soil pH
Before using Accurate, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain a representative pH
value for the test area, take several 0" to 4" samples from different areas of the field and analyze them
separately. Consult local extension publications for additional information on soil sampling procedures.
BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop not listed (see Rotation Intervals table), or
if the soil pH is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not specified in the table, or if the
minimum cumulative precipitation has not occurred since application.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
• Grass species or varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. If no information is available,
limit the initial use of Accurate to a small area.
• Components in a grass seed mixture will vary in tolerance to Accurate so the final stand may not reflect
the seed ratio.
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, high pH, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in
day/night temperatures prior to or soon after Accurate application, temporary discoloration and/or grass
injury may occur. Injury may result when Accurate is applied to grass that is stressed by severe weather
conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soils, disease, or insect damage. Severe winter stress,
drought, disease, or insect damage before or following application also may result in grass injury.
• Applications of Accurate to lands undersown with legumes may cause injury to the legumes. Legumes in
a seeding mixture may be severely injured or killed following an application of Accurate.
• The control of weeds in wheel track areas may be reduced if ground applications are made when dry,
dusty field conditions exist. The addition of 2,4-D or MCPA may improve weed control under these
conditions.

Crested Wheatgrass and Smooth Brome 0.25 to 1
Bermudagrass 0.25 to 1
t _..--{ Formatted! English (U.S.) ]
Application Timing
Applications may be made at anytime of the year, except when the soil is frozen When a spring
application is made on fescue or bluegrass, a second application may be made during the summer after
full seedhead maturation.
Growth Suppression and Seedhead Inhibition
(Chemical Mowing)
Application Information
Apply Accurate for growth suppression and seedhead inhibition in well established fescue and bluegrass
turf at the use rate of 0.25 to 0.5 ounce per acre.
Tank Mix Combination
Accurate may be tank mixed with "Embark" for improved performance in the regulation of growth and
seedhead suppression. Tank mix 0.25 to 0.5 ounce of Accurate with 0.125 to 0.25 pint of "Embark".
Application Timing
Application may be made after at least 2io3 inches of new growth has emerged until the appearance of
the seed stalk.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
—INDUSTRIAL TURF ONLY
• An application of Accurate may cause temporary discoloration (chlorosis) of the grasses. Use the lower
application rates for minimum discoloration.
• With fescue and bluegrass, sequential applications made during the same or consecutive growth periods
(i.e. spring and fall) may result in excessive injury to turf.
• Excessive injury may result when Accurate is applied to turf that is under stress from drought, insects,
disease, cold temperatures (winter injury) or poor fertility.
• Do not apply Accurate on bahiagrass.
BRUSH CONTROL
Application Information
Accurate is registered for the control of undesirable brush growing in non-crop areas including grazed
areas on these sites. Applications may be made by air, high volume ground application, low volume
ground application and ultra-low volume ground application. Except as noted for multiflora rose, Accurate
should be applied as a spray to the foliage.
The application volume required will vary with the height and density of the brush and the application
equipment used. Generally, aerial applications will require 15 to 25 gallons of water per acre; high volume
ground application will require 100 to 400 gallons of water per acre; low volume ground application will
require 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre; and ultra-low volume ground application will require 10 to 20
gallons of water per acre.
Regardless of the application volume and equipment used, thorough coverage of the foliage, particularly
the terminal growing points, is necessary to optimize results.

Application Timing
Make a foliar application of the directed rate of Accurate during the period from full leaf expansion in the
spring until the development of full fall coloration on deciduous species to be controlled.
Coniferous species may be treated at anytime during the growing season.
Spot Treatment
Accurate is registered for the control of many species of weeds including noxious/invasive weeds in
certain established grasses growing on non-crop areas.
Refer to the "Weeds Controlled" section for a listing of susceptible weed species and the application rate
per acre per the target weed. Or, mix one gram of Accurate per one gallon of water along with a
surfactant. Spray to the point of wetting the entire surface of the target weeds, approximately 40 gallons
of solution per acre.
Tank Mix Combinations—
Accurate may be tank mixed with any product labeled for non-crop brush control at the application rates
specified on the companion product's label for the pests specified on the product's companion label. Read
and follow the label instructions of both products when tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive limitations
of any of the product labels being tank mixed.
Low Rate Applications
Imazapyr (2 pound active per gallon)
Combine 1 to 2 ounces of Accurate with 1 to 4 pints of imazapyr herbicide per acre and apply as a
broadcast spray. Aerial applications should use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre spray volume. In
addition to species listed above controlled by Accurate, this combination controls black gum,
hophornbeam, sassafras, sweetgum, Vaccinium species, dogwood, myrtle dahoon, hickories, and
persimmon.
Picloram (2 pound active per gallon) + Imazapyr (2 pound active per gallon)
Combine 1 to 1 1/2 ounce of Accurate with 2 to 8 fluid ounces of imazapyr and 1 to 2 pints of picloram per
100 gallons of water. Apply as a high volume spray. This tank mix controls cherry, elms, box elder,
maples, hackberry, redbud, ash, oaks (including shingle oak), black locust and sassafras.
'Picloram is a restricted use pesticide.
Spotgun Basal Soil Treatment
For control of multiflora rose, prepare a spray suspension of Accurate by mixing 1 ounce per gallon of
water. Mix vigorously until the Accurate is dispersed and agitate periodically while applying the spray
suspension.
Apply the spray preparation with an exact delivery handgun applicator. Apply at the rate of 4 milliliters for
each 2 feet of rose canopy diameter. Direct the treatment to the soil within 2 feet of the stem union. When
treating large plants and more than one delivery is required, make applications on opposite sides of the
plant.
Applications should be made from early spring to summer.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
—NON-CROP BRUSH ONLY
• When using tank mixtures of Accurate with companion herbicides, read and follow all use
instructions, application rates, warnings and precautions appearing on the labels. Follow the most
restrictive label instructions for each of the herbicides used.
APPLICATION. MIXING. EQUIPMENT, and CLEANUP USE DIRECTIONS
GROUND APPLICATION
To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
For flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 gallons per acre (GPA), flood nozzles no larger than
TK10 (or equivalent), and a pressure of at least 30 pounds per square inch (psi). For 40" nozzle spacings,
use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacings, use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for
all spacings.
With "Raindrop RA" nozzles, use at least 30 GPA and ensure that nozzle spray patterns overlap 100%.
For flat-fan nozzles, use at least 3 GPA for applications to wheat or barley. Use at least 10
GPA for applications to pasture or rangeland.
Use 50-mesh screens or larger.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage.
Wheat, Barley and Fallow - use 1 to 5 GPA.
Pasture and Rangeland - Use 2 to 5 GPA.
Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon or Utah.
When applying Accurate by air in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid stream nozzles oriented
straight back. Adjust the swath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops downwind and/or use
ground equipment to treat the border edge of fields. See the Spray Drift Management section of this
label.
Product Measurement
Accurate is measured using the Accurate volumetric measuring cup. The degree of accuracy of this cup
varies by +/- 7.5%. For more precise measurements, use scales calibrated in ounces.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0 as
rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0-8.0 allow for optimum stability of
Accurate
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Accurate.
3. Continue agitation until the Accurate is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the Accurate is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
5 As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners and then add the required volume of spray adjuvant.
Always add spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do not use with spray
additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product degradation can
occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for optimum stability of Accurate.
6. Dispersed tank mix partners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated. If settling
occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
7. Apply Accurate spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
34
8. If Accurate and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the Accurate
in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for additional information on
GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc.
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and
delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. Use
higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath overlapping, and
shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop.
Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that might
cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift refer to Spray Drift
Management section of this label.
Continuous agitation is not required for Accurate but may be required to keep tank-mix partners for
additional information.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
The spray equipment must be cleaned before Accurate is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures
specified on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six
steps outlined in "After Spraying Accurate" in this label.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of Accurate are applied, at the end of each
day spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and
hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate in the
application equipment.
AFTER SPRAYING ACCURATE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED ON
THIS LABEL
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
immediately following applications of Accurate as follows:
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely. Remove any contamination on the outside of the
spraying equipment by washing with clean water.
2. Spray the tank walls (including the lid) with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the
tank volume. Add household ammonia at a solution rate of 1 gal/100 gal water or other similarly
approved cleaner to the tank. Circulate the water through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for
at least two minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer. Completely drain the sump.
3. Repeat step 2. For this rinse, the addition of household ammonia or other cleaner is not required.
4. Remove the strainers, nozzles, tips and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water
and ammonia solution.
If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) listed on this label.
Do not exceed the maximum-labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for
rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved
waste disposal facility.
Notes:
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended to facilitate the removal of any caked
deposits.
35
3. When Accurate is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product
should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied
products should be followed as per the individual labels.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.
The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of
sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator
balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL,
BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER
UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher
rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE
NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
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.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide
uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the
airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight
back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed % of the wing or rotor length - longer booms
increase drift potential.
Application Height - Application more than 10 ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray
drift.
BOOM HEIGHT
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
the crop and have minimal bounce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind
patterns and how they affect spray drift.
36
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature 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 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.
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may
reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high
drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for
the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring.
NOTE: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and
canopy penetration. Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air
assisted sprayer is recommended.
RESISTANCE
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary
to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of
herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between
crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential
herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator,
and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural
practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
To better manage weed resistance when using Accurate, use a combination of tillage, and tank-mix
partners or sequential herbicide applications that have a different mode of action than Accurate, to control
escaped weeds. Do not let weed escapes go to seed.
Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension
service representative for specific alternative herbicide recommendations available in your area.
