Dear Mr. Bockrath:
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable.
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency.
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records.
This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final
printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently

misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label,
claims made as part of the products sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). Therefore,
should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or
misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the
product will be referred to the EPAs Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high-
water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface
water via runoff for months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by
avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually
have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can
affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover,
site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected
to result in off-site movement.
Non-target Organism Advisory
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by
minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift
Management section of this label.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
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. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe,
consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

CRUSHER® herbicide, referred to below as CRUSHER herbicide, must be used only in accordance with
instructions on this label or as otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire label, including the
Limitation of Warranty and Liability.
To the extent consistent with applicable law, FMC will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from the
use of this product in any manner not specified by FMC.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
CRUSHER herbicide is a water dispersible granule containing 50.0% active ingredient by weight. CRUSHER
herbicide is a selective herbicide for burndown and residual control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds
when applied preplant or preemergence to field corn. It may also be applied 30 days or more preplant to cotton or
soybeans and 45 days or more preplant to peanuts for winter vegetation management. Residual weed control is
dependent on rainfall or sprinkler irrigation for herbicide activation. CRUSHER herbicide may be applied in tank
mixtures with other herbicides labeled for use in the intended crop. However, in the case of tank mixes with other
herbicides, it is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
tank mixture. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this CRUSHER herbicide label, do not
use in a tank mixture with CRUSHER herbicide.
Biological Activity
CRUSHER herbicide is absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
susceptible weeds. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move CRUSHER herbicide into the soil. Susceptible
weeds will generally not emerge from preemergence application. In some cases, susceptible weeds may germinate
and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases and leaves become chlorotic three to five days after
emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but
stunted and noncompetitive.
The herbicidal action of CRUSHER herbicide may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices.
RESTRICTIONS
x Do not apply postemergence to any crop.
x Do not graze, feed forage, grain or fodder (stover) from treated areas to livestock within 30 days of CRUSHER
herbicide application.
x The maximum amount of rimsulfuron for all uses per year is 0.0625 lb. ai/A.
x The maximum amount of thifensulfuron-methyl for all uses per year is 0.0469 lb. ai/A.
x Do not apply to coarse textured soils (sand, loamy sand or sandy loam) with less than 1% organic matter.
x Do not make more than one application per year of CRUSHER herbicide.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and th e Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requ irements for training, decontamination, notification, and
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label
about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to
uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 4 hours. PPE
required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
Coveralls.
Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.
Shoes plus socks
4
Injury or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
x Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots
may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
x Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, or tennis courts.
x Prevent drift of spray onto desirable plants.
x Do not contaminate any body of water with CRUSHER herbicide.
PRECAUTIONS
x Allow at least 3 weeks between preemergence applications of CRUSHER herbicide and postemergence
applications of rimsulfuron containing products, including Solida® herbicide, DuPont™ Realm® Q Herbicide,
DuPont™ Steadfast® Q Herbicide or DuPont™ Resolve® Q Herbicide.
x CRUSHER herbicide may interact with certain insecticides applied to soybean, cotton, peanuts or corn. Crop
response varies with field crop, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
x Preplant/Preemergence applications of CRUSHER herbicide to corn where an application of Thimet® brand
insecticide is planned may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
Refer to the table below that lists specific identification information for various Thimet brand insecticides.
x Crop injury may occur following an application of CRUSHER herbicide if there is a prolonged period of cold
weather and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
x Prevent drift or spray to desirable plants.
x Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use. (See Sprayer Cleanup section of this label for
instructions).
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
CRUSHER herbicide, which contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl, is a group 2
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:
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present.
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
x Apply full rates of CRUSHER herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
local retailer, or county extension agent.
x Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to
this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 2 and/or
use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
x 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.
5
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is
practical:
x Use a broad-spectrum, soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
program.
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 herbicides.
x Avoid making more than two applications of CRUSHER herbicide and any other Group 2 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.
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops
and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological,
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include
field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating
when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension
service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold
levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.

additional surfactant needs to be added
.
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
x Apply at 1% volume/volume (1 gal. per 100 gal. spray solution), or 2% under arid conditions.
x Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at
least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
x Apply 0.125 to 0.25% v/v (1 qt per 100 gal spray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
x Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB)
greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
x Use 2 qt./acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb./acre of a
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt./acre UAN or 4 lb./acre AMS under arid conditions.
x DO NOT use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
9
Special Adjuvant Types
x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS and ammonium
nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
x 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 CRUSHER
herbicide.
WEEDS CONTROLLED or SUPPRESSED
CRUSHER herbicide may be tank mixed with glyphosate, paraquat, glufosinate, saflufenacil, 2,4-D LVE, and

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
FERTILIZER CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
CRUSHER herbicide may be mixed with water or pre-slurried in water and added to liquid fertilizer for application.
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always pre-slurry CRUSHER herbicide in water before adding fertilizer
solutions. Add the CRUSHER herbicide slurry to the final complete liquid fertilizer mixture. DO NOT add
CRUSHER herbicide during the fertilizer mixing process. Always use good agitation while adding the CRUSHER
herbicide slurry to liquid fertilizers and maintain good agitation until sprayed.
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, conduct a compatibility test with all components prior to mixing.
DO NOT use with spray additives or liquid fertilizer carriers 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
CRUSHER herbicide.
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 CRUSHER herbicide.
11
WATER CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of CRUSHER herbicide.
3. Continue agitation until the CRUSHER herbicide is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the CRUSHER herbicide 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 CRUSHER herbicide.
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 CRUSHER herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If CRUSHER herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the
CRUSHER herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility with CRUSHER herbicide and other
pesticides. Use a clear quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions.
Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately ½ hour. If
the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludge, gel, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible
and the tank mix combination must not be used.
GROUND APPLICATION
x Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the
best performance.
x Refer to the “Mandatory Spray Drift” section for more detailed instructions.
AERIAL APPLICATION
x Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a
minimum of 5 GPA.

SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using CRUSHER
herbicide. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed including
directions for rinsate disposal. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately
following applications of CRUSHER herbicide, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid
subsequent crop injury.
Note: When applying multiple loads of CRUSHER herbicide, DO NOT allow empty sprayer or mixing equipment
to stand overnight. Partially fill the empty equipment with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the
boom, hoses and other equipment, and allow to sit overnight.
Cleanup Procedure
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.
14
Notes:
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
2. Steam-clean aerial spray tanks to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
3. When CRUSHER herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product
must be examined and the most rigorous procedure must be followed.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products must be
followed as per the individual labels.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
height is necessary for pilot safety.
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
helicopters.
• Applicators must use one-half 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 when wind speeds exceed 10 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 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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.
15
BOOM HEIGHT GROUND BOOM
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. 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. When applying aerially to crops, 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.
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.
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
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used,
read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additives label. If using an
additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with
a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers &
Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
