|
||
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
|
||
soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface
|
||
water via runoff for several weeks 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 affect
|
||
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.
|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
AFFINITY® BroadSpec herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules) – referred to below as AFFINITY BroadSpec
|
||
herbicide - is a soluble granule that is used for selective postemergence weed control in wheat (including
|
||
durum), barley, oats, triticale and fallow. The best control is obtained when AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is
|
||
applied to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate will depend on weed spectrum and size of weed at time of
|
||
application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
|
||
• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
• weed size at application
|
||
• environmental conditions at and following treatment
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. AFFINITY
|
||
BroadSpec herbicide must be mixed, and completely dissolved in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray.

• DO NOT apply to wheat, barley, oats, and triticale underseeded with another crop.
|
||
• DO NOT harvest wheat or barley sooner than 45 days after the last application of AFFINITY BroadSpec
|
||
herbicide.
|
||
• DO NOT apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots
|
||

|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops, desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the
|
||
following:
|
||
• Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (including spray drift) with non-target plants
|
||
or areas.
|
||
Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue
|
||
may damage crops other than wheat, barley, oats, and triticale.
|
||
Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide must not be applied to wheat, barley, oats, and triticale that is stressed by severe
|
||
weather conditions, drought (including low levels of subsoil moisture), low fertility, water-saturated soil, disease, or
|
||
insect damage, as crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2 to 5- leaf stage. Severe
|
||
winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following application also may result in crop injury.
|
||
Wheat, barley, oats, and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC advises that you first
|
||
consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity to any herbicide. If no
|
||
information is available, limit the initial use of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide to a small area.
|
||
Under certain conditions, including heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather (daily high temperature less than 50o F),
|
||
or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide application,
|
||
temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injury, tank mix AFFINITY
|
||
BroadSpec herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best–see “Tank Mixtures” section of this label) and
|
||
apply after the crop is in the tillering stage of growth.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s 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.).
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is absorbed primarily through the foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds. One to 3 weeks after application to weeds, leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic, and the
|
||
growing point subsequently dies.
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide 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 as satisfactory. However, a crop canopy
|
||
that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
The herbicidal action of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide may be affected in crops stressed from adverse
|
||
environmental conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, cultural practices,
|
||
or variations in crop variety. In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated; in
|
||
cold, dry conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress
|
||
are less susceptible to AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide, which contains the active ingredients Thifensulfuron methyl and Tribenuron
|
||
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:
|
||
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
• 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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide 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 weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
• 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 FMC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
• Contact your FMC representative, 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 2 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 2 herbicides.
|
||
• Avoid making more than two applications of AFFINITY BroadSpec 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
FMC advises the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. 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. Base the application of this product on IPM principles and practices
|
||
including 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.

|
||
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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide, then
|
||
DO NOT use in a tank mixture with AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide may be tank mixed with one or more suitable registered herbicides to control
|
||
weeds listed as suppressed, weeds resistant to AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide or weeds not listed under Weeds
|
||
Controlled. Read and follow all manufacturer’s label instructions for the companion herbicide. If those instructions
|
||
conflict with this label, DO NOT tank mix the herbicide with AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide can also be mixed with registered fungicides, insecticides, or liquid fertilizer for
|
||
use on wheat, barley, or fallow.
|
||
With Other Grass Control Products
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide can be tank mixed with grass control products. Antagonism generally does not
|
||
occur. Under certain environmental conditions, however, antagonism to Group 1 graminicides can occur. This may
|
||
be reduced by using the higher rate of the graminicide. FMC advises that you first consult your state experiment
|
||
station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or FMC representative as to the potential for antagonism
|
||
before using the mixture. If no information is available, limit the initial use of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide and
|
||
the grass product to a small area.
|
||
With Insecticides or Fungicides
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides (or fungicides) registered
|
||
for use on cereal grains. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage),
|
||
tank mixes or sequential applications of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide with organophosphate insecticides
|
||
(including parathion) may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. Test these mixtures in
|
||
a small area before treating large areas. However, review all insecticide and fungicide labels for restrictions.
|
||
DO NOT use AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide plus products containing 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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide in fertilizer solution. DO NOT add AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide
|
||
directly to liquid nitrogen fertilizer; the granules will not dissolve. AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide must be
|
||
thoroughly mixed with clean water before it is added to liquid nitrogen fertilizer. If granules remain when the
|
||
mixture is poured out, add more clean water and mix until all granules have disappeared. Ensure that the agitator is
|
||
running when the AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide premix is added. Use of this mixture may result in temporary
|
||
crop yellowing and 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 1/4 qt - 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution (0.06 -0.25% v/v)
|
||
based on local guidance.
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk
|
||
of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or FMC representative for specific instructions
|
||
before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-D or MCPA is included with AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend
|
||
to be more compatible (see manufacturer’s label). Additional surfactant is not needed when using AFFINITY
|
||
BroadSpec herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
|
||
DO NOT use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.
|
||

WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED**
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide partially controls the following weeds when used according to label directions:
|
||
Catchweed bedstraw Marestail
|
||
Mallow (common, little) Nightshade (cutleaf, hairy)
|
||
* See SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS for more information.
|
||
**Partial control: A visual reduction of weed population as well as a significant loss of vigor. For better results, use the highest specified rate of
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide per acre and include a tank mix partner including 2,4-D, MCPA, bromoxynil containing herbicides or
|
||
dicamba containing herbicides.
|
||
|
||
16
|
||
|
||
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
Canada thistle: For control in wheat and barley, use 0.8 oz/A AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide plus surfactant
|
||
when all thistles are 4" to 8" with 2" to 6" of new growth. Make the application in the spring. Control will be
|
||
improved by using AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide in combination with 2,4-D, dicamba, WideMatch® herbicide,
|
||
or Colt® AS herbicide.
|
||
Common cocklebur, Common ragweed, Lanceleaf sage: In wheat and barley, apply AFFINITY BroadSpec
|
||
herbicide at 0.4 to 0.8 oz/A in combination with 2,4-D at rates from 1/4 to 3/8 lb active ingredient (ester
|
||
formulations work best) when weeds are small and actively growing. When using 1/4 lb active ingredient of 2,4-D,
|
||
be sure to add surfactant at the rate of 1/4 to 1/2 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.06 to 0.125% v/v--use the
|
||
higher rate under stress conditions).
|
||
Corn gromwell, Wild buckwheat: For control in wheat and barley, use 0.8 oz/A AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide
|
||
plus surfactant.
|
||
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are known to occur.
|
||
For best results, use AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide in a tank mix with Colt + Sword® herbicide, Colt + Salvo®
|
||
herbicide, dicamba and 2,4-D; or Bromoxynil (including Buctril® herbicide) and 2,4-D (3/4 - 1 pt Buctril herbicide
|
||
+ 1/4 - 3/8 lb active ingredient 2, 4-D ester). For improved broadleaf weed control including kochia, AFFINITY
|
||
BroadSpec herbicide can also be tank mixed with WideMatch® herbicide, Colt® AS herbicide or Starane® NXT
|
||
herbicide. AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide must be applied in the spring when weeds are 2” to 4" tall or 2” to 4"
|
||
across and are actively growing. Refer to the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional details.
|
||
Yellow and Green Foxtail: AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide at 0.6 - 1.0 oz/A may be tank mixed with GoldSky®
|
||
herbicide, “Everest®” branded products, or Rimfire® Max herbicide for yellow and green foxtail suppression in
|
||
wheat.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Always include a spray adjuvant with applications of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide. In addition to a spray
|
||
adjuvant, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be used.
|
||
Consult your Ag dealer or applicator, local FMC fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using
|
||
an adjuvant system. If another herbicide is tank mixed with AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide, select adjuvants
|
||
authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40CFR 1001).
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
• Apply 0.06 to 0.50% volume/volume (1/2 pt to 4 pt per 100 gal of spray solution).
|
||
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB)
|
||
greater than 12. See the Tank Mixtures section of this label for additional information.
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1% volume/volume (1 gal per 100 gal spray solution) or 2% volume/volume 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.
|
||
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 and have been evaluated and approved by FMC product management.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
• 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.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Since AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide has very little or no soil activity, it controls only those weeds that have
|
||
germinated; therefore, apply AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide when all or most of the weeds have germinated.
|
||
Annual broadleaf weeds must be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, and less than 4" tall or wide. Rainfall
|
||
|
||
17
|
||
|
||
immediately after treatment can wash AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide off of weed foliage, resulting in reduced
|
||
weed control. Several hours of dry weather are needed to allow AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide to be sufficiently
|
||
absorbed by weed foliage.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
For optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
|
||
For flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 5 gal per acre (GPA).
|
||
For flood nozzles on 30” spacings, use at least 10 GPA, flood nozzles no larger than TK10 (or the equivalent), and a
|
||
pressure of at least 30 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.
|
||
Raindrop “RA” nozzles are not advised for AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide applications, as weed control
|
||
performance may be reduced.
|
||
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 GPA.
|
||
Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
|
||
This product is limited to ground application only in the State of New York.
|
||
See the Spray Drift section of this label.
|
||
CHEMIGATION
|
||
DO NOT apply this product through any irrigation system.
|
||
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is measured using the AFFINITY Broa dSpec herbicide volumetric measuring
|
||
cylinder. The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by + 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales
|
||
calibrated in ounces.
|
||
PESTICIDE HANDLING
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
• Ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
• DO NOT discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field, grove, or mixing/loading station.
|
||
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates or uses.
|
||
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
|
||
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
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 AFFINITY BroadSpec
|
||
herbicide.
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with
|
||
water.
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
|
||
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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
6. Dispersed tank mix partners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated. If settling occurs, thoroughly
|
||
reagitate before using.
|
||
7. Apply AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
|
||
GRAZING
|
||
Allow at least 7 days between application and grazing of treated forage. In addition, allow at least 7 days between
|
||
application and feeding of forage from treated areas to livestock. Allow at least 30 days between application and
|
||
feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. Harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or feed. Allow at least
|
||
45 days between application and harvesting of grain.
|
||
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. For additional information on spray drift refer to
|
||
Spray Drift section of label.
|
||
Continuous agitation is not required for AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide but may be required to keep tank-mix
|
||
partners in solution or suspension. Refer to tank-mix partner labels for additional information.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide 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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide" in this label.
|
||
AT THE END OF THE DAY
|
||
It is advised that during periods when multiple loads of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide are applied, at the end of
|
||
each day of 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 AFFINITY BROADSPEC HERBICIDE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS
|
||
OTHER THAN WHEAT AND BARLEY
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
|
||
following applications of AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide as follows:
|
||
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
|
||
2. Spray the tank walls with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the tank volume. 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.
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water.
|
||
The rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) specified on this label. DO NOT exceed the maximum-labeled use
|
||
rate. If 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.
|
||
|
||
19
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
3. When AFFINITY BroadSpec 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 unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle
|
||
height no more than 4 feet above the ground.
|
||
• 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.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT .
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION S.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
20
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
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 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 additive’s 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 Chemical Producers and Distributors Association
|
||
(CPDA).

of application.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS in seed production of soybeans with BOLT Technology:
|
||
Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue
|
||
may damage crops other than soybeans with BOLT technology.
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide is a water-soluble herbicide applied as a foliar spray to selectively control certain
|
||
broadleaf weeds in soybeans with BOLT technology. AFFINITY Broad Spec herbicide may also be applied to
|
||
remove susceptible “segregates”, i.e., undesirable soybean plants that do not contain the BOLT trait, during seed
|
||
propagation. Soybean plants not possessing the BOLT trait will be severely injured or killed if treated with
|
||
AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES in seed production of soybeans with BOLT Technology:
|
||
When tank mixing AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide + glyphosate herbicides, it is advised to add 4.25 -17 lb
|
||
ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons of spray mixture. The addition of surfactant at 0.25% v/v (1 qt per 100 gallons of
|
||
spray) to some AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide + glyphosate tank mixes may result in improved weed control. See
|
||
the glyphosate manufacturer's label for specific ammonium sulfate and surfactant directions.
|
||
|
||
22
|
||
|
||
Weed control and crop safety resulting from the use of tank mixtures not specifically noted on this label are the
|
||
responsibility of the user.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow
|
||
the applicable restrictions, 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 AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide, then DO NOT
|
||
use in a tank mixture with AFFINITY BroadSpec herbicide.
