USE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 2 Groundwater Advisory This product is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This product may 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. USERS SHOULD: • Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thorou^ly and change into clean clothing. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants. • Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material including polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. • Shoes plus socks. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintainingPPE. If no such instructions for washables exists, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PpE separately from other laundry. Engineering Control Statements: When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean highwater mark.

PR OD UCT IN FORMA TION DPX-SBN49 herbicide is a water soluble granule that is used for selective postemergence weed control in wheat (including durum), barley, triticale, oats and for post-harvest bumdown, fallow, and pre-plant bumdown weed control. The best control is obtained when DPX-SBN49 herbicide is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate will depend on weed spectrum and size ofweedattime of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the weed spectrum and infestation intensity, weed size at application, and environmental conditions at and following treatment. DPX-SBN49 herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile, and does not freeze. DPX-SBN49 herbicide needs to be mixed in water and applied as auniform broadcast spray. DIRECTION 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.

4 BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS DPX-SBN49 herbicide 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. DPX-SBN49 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. DPX-SBN49 herbicide may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition, different varieties of the crop may have differing levels of sensitivity to treatment withDPX-SBN49 herbicide under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of sensitive crop varieties may injure crops. To reduce the potential of crop injury to cereals, tank mix DPX-SBN49 herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best-see the 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. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflicts with this DPX-SBN49 herbicide label, DO NOT use in a tank mixture with DPX-SBN49 herbicide. 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 DPX-SBN49 herbicide. DPX-SBN49 herbicide is rainfast in 4 hours. RESTRICTIONS • Do not apply to wheat, barley, oats or triticale underseeded with another crop. • Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system, • Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following;
- 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.
- Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, crtennis courts. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. • WhenusingDPX-SBN49 herbicide in tank mixes or sequential applications with otherproducts containing tribenuron-methyl and thifensulfuron-methyl, do not exceed the following limits:
- For all uses the maximum active ingredient for tribenuron methyl is 0.0313 lb ai/A per year.
- For all uses the maximum active ingredient for thifensulfuron methyl is 0.0469 lb ai/A per year. PRECAUTIONS • Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops and 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 or barley. • Varieties of wheat (including durum), barley, oats and triticale may differ in their response to various herbicides. FMC advices that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to crop sensitivity to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use to a small area. • Under certain conditions including heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after DPX-SBN49 herbicide application, temporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. To reduce the potential of crop injiuy, tank mix DPX-SBN49 herbicide with 2,4-D (ester formulations perform best - see the "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. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflicts with this DPX-SBN49
5 herbicide label, DO NOT use in a tank mixture with DPX-SBN49 herbicide. • DPX-SBN49 herbicide may not be applied to wheat, barley, oats or triticale that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, 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. WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT DPX-SBN49 herbicide, which contains the active ingredients tnbenurou-methyl and ihifensulfiiron-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 bumdown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches). • Apply full rates of DPX-SBN49 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. • 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 MO As 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 ingredients 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 DPX-SBN49 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, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program. • Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness. • Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds. • Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
6 LABEL USES WHEAT, BARLEY, OATSAND TRITICALE APPLICATION TIMING Apply DPX-SBN49 herbicide after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage, but before the flag leaf is visible. For spring oats, make applications after the crop is in the 3-leaf stage, but before jointing. DO NOT use on "Ogle", "Porter" or "Premier" varieties as crop injury can occur. Since DPX-SBN49 herbicide has very little or no soil activity, it controls only those weeds that have germinated; therefore, apply DPX-SBN49 herbicide when all or most of the weeds have germinated. Annual broadleaf weeds need to be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, and less than 4" tall or wide. DO NOT harvest within 45 days of the last application. CEREAL USE RATE Use 0.6 oz DPX-SBN49 herbicide per acre (except oats) for heavy infestation of those weeds listed under the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal (see "BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS"). Use 0.3 to 0.6 oz DPX-SBN49 herbicide per acre (except oats) for light infestation of the weeds listed under the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Conditions at application need to be optimum for effective treatment of these weeds. Two applications of DPX-SBN49 herbicide may be made per yearprovided the total amount does not exceed 0.6 oz per acre. Allow at least 14 days between treatments._______________________________________________ DPX-SBN49 herbicide (oz/A) For oats, apply 0.25 oz of DPX-SBN49 herbicide per acre for control of light populations of the weeds listed in Weeds Controlled table.

12 APPLICATION INFORMATION PRODUCT MEASUREMENT DPX-SBN49 herbicide maybe measured using the DPX-SBN49 herbicide volumetric measuring cylinder provided by FMC. The degree of accuracy of this cylinder varies by ± 7.5%. For more precise measurement, use scales calibrated in ounces. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
- While agitating, add the required amount of DPX-SBN49 herbicide.
- Continue agitation until the DPX-SBN49 herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
- Once the DPX-SBN49 herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. With Postemergence Grass Herbicide When used in tank mixture with GoldSky herbicide, Everest brand products (reference the “Registered Products Reference in this Label” table for suggested Everest brand products), or Rimfire Max herbicide, DPX-SBN49 herbicide will result in improved control of yellow and green foxtail. Consult tank mix partner labeling for any adj vuant, rate, and grass weed height limitations, as reduced grass control mayresult whenusingtankmixtureswith some WSSA Group 1 (ACCase) herbicides. With Insecticide DPX-SBN49 herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides registered for use on cereal crops. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential applications of DPX-SBN49 herbicide with organophosphate insecticides (including Lorsban brands, reference the “Registered Products Reference in this Label” table for suggested Lorsban brand products) may produce 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 DPX-SBN49 herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where an organophosphate insecticide has been applied as an in- furrow treatment because crop injury may result. DO NOT use DPX-SBN49 herbicide plus Malathion because crop injury may result. 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 (green chop) from treated areas to livestock. Allow at least 30 days between application and feeding of hay from treated areas to livestock. Allow at least 45 days between application and harvesting of grain. Harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or feed. CROP ROTATION Labeled crops may be planted at specified time intervals following application of labeled rates of DPX-SBN49 herbicide. Use the time intervals listed below to determine the required time interval before planting. Time Interval Before Planting* (days after treatment with DPX-SBN49 herbicide) Days 0 y** 14** 60 45 Refer to individual product labels to determine rotational crop restrictions when tank mixtures are used. **Where DPX-SBN49 herbicide is used on light textured soils (including sands and loamy sands) or on high pH soils (>7.9), extend time to planting by 7 additional days. Crop _________________________________________ Barley, Rice, Triticale and Wheat (including durum) Oats and Soybeans (at DPX-SBN49 rate of 0.3 oz/a) Soybeans Cotton, Field Corn, and Grain/forage Sorghum Sugarbeets, Winter Rape, and Canola Any other crop
13 DPX-SBN49 herbicide needs to be thoroughly mixed with water beforeadding any othermaterial. 5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) 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 DPX- SBN49 herbicide. 6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 7. Apply DPX-SBN49 herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. 8. If DPX-SBN49 herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the DPX-SBN49 herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the DPX-SBN49 herbicide. APPLICATION METHOD 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 ofatleastS gal per acre (GPA). • For flood nozzles on 30" spacing, use flood nozzles no larger than TK 10 (orthe equivalent), a pressure of at least 30 psi and a spray volume of at least 10 GPA only. For 40" nozzle spacing, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacing use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings. • "Raindrop RA" nozzles are not advised £rDPX-SBN49 herbicide applications, as weed control performance maybe reduced. • Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger. AERIAL APPLICATION Do not apply DPX-SBN49 herbicide by air in the state of New York. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label. APPLICATIONS WITH LIQUID NITOGEN SOLUTION FERTILEZER Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing DPX-SBN49 herbicide in fertilizer solution. DPX-SBN49 herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquidnitrogen solutions (e.g,, 28-0-0,32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the DPX-SBN49 herbicide 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 0.5 pt -1 qtper 100 gal ofspray solution (0.06 -0.25% v/v) based on local guidance. When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the risk of crop injury. If 2,4-D or MCPA is included withDPX-SBN49 herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations tend to be more compatible (see manufacturer ’ s label). Additional surfactant may not be needed when using DPX-SBN49 herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-D ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field advisor, or FMC representative for guidance before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures. 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 FMC representative for guidance before using nitrogen fertilizer carrier solutions. DO NOT use low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution as a substitute for surfactant. Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions that contain sulfur can increase crop response. DO NOT use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0. SPRA Y 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.
14 turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. DO NOT make applications using equipment and. br 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 label. Continuous agitation is not required to keep DPX-SBN49 herbicide in suspension but may be required to keep tank mix partners in solution or suspension. Refer to tank mix partner labels for additional information. BEFORE SPRAYING DPX-SBN49 herbicide The spray equipment must be clean before DPX-SBN49 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 the After Spraying DPX-SBN49 herbicide section of this label. AT THE END OF THE DAY When multiple loads of DPX-SBN49 herbicide are applied, it is advised that 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 DPX-SBN49 HERBICIDE AND BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, AND TRITICALE To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following applications ofDPX-SBN49 herbicide as follows:
- Empty the tank and drain the sump completely.
- 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.
- Repeat step 2.
- Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in abucket containing water. The rinsate solution may be applied back 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. Notes:
- Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is advised to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
- When DPX-SBN49 herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product need to be examined and the most rigorous procedure need to be followed.
- Follow any pre-cleanout guidelines advised on other product labels.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 15 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. 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 (ASABES572.1). • 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 CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. • Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom 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.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 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 Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA). 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. EPA Registration Number 279-3241 66330-276 9779-347 264-690 7969-137 66330-391 66330-433 66330-429 62719-582 62719-591 62719-34 62719-221 Chlorpyrifos propoxycarbazone-sodium, mesosulfuron- methyl _2,4-D fluroxypyr 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 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 REGISTERED PRODUCTS REFERENCED IN THIS LABEL
