NON-CROP WEED CONTROL
GENERAL INFORMATION
TELAR® DF herbicide is a dry flowable that is mixed in
water and applied as a spray to control many annual, biennial,
and perennial broadleaf weeds on non-crop, industrial sites
such as airports, military installations, fence rows, roadsides
and associated rights-of-way, lumberyards, petroleum tank
farms, pipeline and utility rights-of-way, pumping instal­
lations, railroads, storage areas, plant sites and other similar
areas including governmental and private lands.
TELAR® DF is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile and
does not freeze.
TELAR® DF can be applied as a preemergence or
postemergence treatment. For best results, apply TELAR®
DF before or during early stages of weed growth. The degree
and duration of control may depend on the following:
• use rate
• weed spectrum and size at application
• environmental conditions at and following treatment
Environmental Conditions
and Biological Activity
TELAR® DF is absorbed by both the roots and foliage of
plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible weeds. Two
to 3 weeks after application to weeds, leaf growth slows, and the
growing points tum reddish-purple. Within 4 to 6 weeks of
application, leaf veins and leaves become discolored, and the
growing points subsequently die.
Warm, moist conditions following treatment enhance the
effectiveness ofTELAR® DF since moisture carries TELAR®
DF into weed roots, preventing roots from developing. Cold, dry
conditions delay the activity of TELAR® DF. Weeds hardened
off by cold weather or drought stress are less susceptible to
TELAR®DF.
RESISTANCE
Biotypes of certain weeds listed on this label are resistant to
TELAR® DF and other herbicides with the same mode of
action, even at exaggerated application rates. Biotypes are
naturally occurring individuals of a species identical in
appearance but with slightly different genetic compositions; the
mode of action of a herbicide is the chemical interaction that
interrupts a biological process necessary for plant growth and
development.
If weed controlis unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to
respray problem areas using a product with a different mode
of action, such as postemergence broadleaf and/or grass
herbicides. If resistant weed biotypes such as kochia and
Russian thistle are suspected or known to be present,
consider using another herbicide treatment or adjust the use
rate of the TELAR® DF tank-mix partner to help control
these biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant,
applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension
service representative for specific alternative herbicide
recommendations available in your area.,
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied
to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread
and dispersal of resistant biotypes.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
DuPont recommends the use of Intt?grated Pest Management
(IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as
part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which
can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at
preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product
should be based on rPM principles and practices including field
scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identifi­
cation, 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.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Industrial Turf Only)
• Do not use TELAR® DF or TELAR® DF in a tank niix with
"Embark" on bahiagrass turf or turf that is under stress from
drought, insects, disease, cold temperature, or poor fertility, as
injury may result.
• Do not apply TELAR® DF to turf less than 1 year old.
• Grass seed may be planted in treated areas 6 months after
treatment, cultivation is recommended.
• For broadcast applications, do not exceed 112 oz TELAR®
DF per acre within a 12-month period. For those weeds listed
under the 1- to 3-oz recommendation in the Non-crop,
Industrial Sites section of this label, spot treatment (at .that
rate) is recommended. Do not make broadcast applications to
turf at 1- to 3-oz as this may cause excessive turf injury.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Equipment used to apply TELAR® DF should not be used for
application to crops following a TELAR® DF application, as
even low ratesofTELAR® DF can kill or severely injure most
crops (except pasture, range, and small grains).
5
)
BROADCAST APPLICATION
Use 10 to 40 GPA when applying TELAR® DF as a broadcast
application. Be sure to calibrate sprayers before application.
Select a spray volume and delivery system that will ensure
thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. When spraying
industrial turf, avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while
starting, turning, slowing, or stopping to avoid injury to desired
species.
HANDGUN APPLICATION
Use 100 to 300 GPA when applying TELAR® DF as a
broadcast application via handgun. Mix 1 oz TELAR® DF per
100 gal of water. Apply up to 300 gal of spray mix per acre.
INVERT SPRAY APPLICATION
Apply the high viscosity invert solution as a total volume of 10
to 40 gallons per acre. Mix 1/4 to 3 ounces ofTELAR® DF per
acre in the water phase of the invert solution. Refer to the
Weeds Controlled sections of this label for selecting the
appropriate use rate for the target weeds. Follow all use.
directions and cautionary statements appearing on the labels of
the inverting oils and additives or listed in the operators manual
of the inverting equipment by its man~facturer.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
Nonionic Surfactants
Always include a nonionic surfactant when making
postemergence applications of TELAR® DF (except for use on
tud). Apply at a minimum rate (concentration) of 0.25% v/v (l
qt per 100 gal of spray solution) or at the manufacturer's
recommended rate based on spray area.
Use only EPA-approved surfactants containing at least 80%
active ingredient.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill spray tank 112 full of water.
2. With the agitator running, add the proper amount ofTELAR®
DR .
3. If using a companion product, add the recommended amount.
4. For postemergence applications, add the proper amount of
spray adjuvants (i.e. surfactants, drift control agents, etc.).
5. Add the remaining water.
·6. Agitate the spray tank thoroughly.
Use the spray preparation ofTELAR® DF within 24 hours to
avoid product degradation. If the spray preparation is left
standing, agitate it thoroughly before using.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
Thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
following applications of DuPont™ TELAR® DF as follows:
1. Drain tank; rinse interior surfaces of tank; then flush tank,
boom, and hoses with clean water for a minimum of 5
minutes.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and add the cleaning solution*.
Flush the boom, hoses, and nozzles with the cleaning solution.
Allow them to sit for 15 minutes with agitation running, and
then drain the tank.
3. Repeat Step 2.
4. Repeat Step 1.
5. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately. To
remove traces of cleaning solution, rinse the tank thoroughly
with clean water and flush through the hoses and boom.
* Use any of the following cleaning solutions:
1. . One gal ammonia (containing 3% active) per 100 gal of
water.
2. "Nutra-sol" (carefully read and follow "Nutra-sol" label
directions).
3. Loveland Spray Tank Cleaner (carefully read and folIow
Loveland Spray Tank Cleaner label directions).
4. "Tank-Aid" (carefully read and follow "Tank-Aid" label
directions).
To reduce the amount of water required in the above procedure,
see separate DuPont bulletin, "Reduce<;l Volume Cleanout
Procedure for Large Sprayers."
Note: This sprayer cleanup procedure is only effective for
TELAR® DF and for general uses specified under "Directions
for Use". Do not use the sprayer on food crops (except wheat,
barley and oats), feed crops (except range land and pasture), fine
turf, ornamentals and other desirable plants.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors
determines the potential for spray drift. The user is responsible
for considering all these factors when making application
decisions. FolIow the additional precautions below to minimize
the potential for spray drift.
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE APPLICATOR.
Drift Control Adjuvants
A drift control adjuvant may be used to reduce the potential for
drift. However, because it is the combined physical-chemical
properties of all the ingredients ~n the spray mix that can
determine drift potential, the applicator must confirm that the
drift control adjuvant used is having the desired effect with the·
tank mix that is being applied. If a drift control adjuvant is used,
follow the use directions and precautions on the manufacturer's
label. Do not use an adjuvant which increases viscosity with
application systems that cannot accommodate viscous sprays.
Ground Application: With ground equipment, spray drift can
be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible (i.e., a
6
release height of 4 feet or Jess above the application target); by
applying 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; by keeping the
operating spray pressures at the manufacturer's recommended
minimum pressures for the specific nozzle type used; and by
spraying when the wind velocity is low (follow all applicable
state regulations).
Do not make ground applications within a surface temperature
inversion when applying near an area requiring protection to
avoid an unreasonable adverse effect. Applicators inay
determine presence of an inversion by noting the presence of
ground fog, light variable wind, or layering of smoke and dust.
Be particularly aiert to the potential for a surface temperature
inversion when winds are calm.
Direct the sprays no higher than the tops of target vegetation,
and maintain spray pressures at levels which provide coarse to
very coarse spray droplets to minimize drift.
Aerial Application: The following drift management
requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift
movement from aerial applications:
1. For helicopters, use a boom length and position that prevents
droplets from entering the rotor vortices.
2. Nozzles should always point backward parallel with the air
stream.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be
observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into
account the information presented below.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
Since the most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets, equipment producing a coarse to very coarse
droplet spectrum must be used when applying this product. The
best drift management strategy is to apply the coarsest drop size·
spectrum that provides sufficient coverage and control. The
presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator
balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER
DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL
Nor PREVENf DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE
Th1PROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRON­
MENTAL CONDmONS!
See "WIND", "TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY", and
"SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS" sections of this
label.
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Application
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended
pressures. Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the
nozzle. Higher pressure generally reduces droplet size and
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HlGHER­
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
PRESSURE.
)
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type ace -fig to manufactur~r's
specifications which is designed for the intended application,
and that produces a coarse to very coarse droplet size
spectrum. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets. To further reduce drift, low-drift or
drift reducing nozzles should be used.
Controlling Drop/et Size - Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles
that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - For some nozzle types, such as solid
streams, orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted
backwards, parallel to the air stream minimizes the effects of
air shear and will produce a coarser droplet spectrum than
other orientations. For applications of this product, nozzles
must be oriented in a manner that results in the application of
a coarse to very coarse droplet size spectrum.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type according to manufacturer's
specifications which is designed for the intended application.
With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger
droplets. Solid stream and other drift reducing nozzles should
be used.
BOOM LENGTH AND HEIGHT
• Boom Height (ground) - Setting the boom at the lowest
referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform
coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and
wind. The boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce. Apply at a height no greater than 4 feet
above the top of the largest plants.
• Application Height (helicopter) - Apply at a height no
greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants, unless
a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making
applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure
of droplets to evaporation and wind.
• Boom Length (helicopter) - For helicopters, use a boom
length and position that prevents droplets from entering the
rotor vortices.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath
will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and
downwind edges of the field, the applicator must
compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of
the application equipment upwind. Swath adjustment
distance should increase with increasing drift potential
(higher wind, smaller drops. etc.).
WIND (GROUND AND AERIAL APPLICATION)
Drift potential is lowest with a sustained wind of 2-10 mph.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment
type, determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
Application should be avoided during gusty conditions. and
when winds are below 2 mph due to variable wind direction
and high potential for a temperature inversion. Avoid applying
during calm conditions which may be conducive to air
inversions.
7
Note: Local terrain can ll .. <uence wind patterns. Every I ~ 1-
applicator should be fainiliar with local wind patterns and how
they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY (GROUND
AND AERIAL APPLICATIONS)
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for
evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when
conditions are both hot and dry.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
(GROU~D AND AERIAL APPL/~ATIONS)
Applications must not occur during a local, surface
temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Tempei:ature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which
causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due
to the light variable winds which are common during
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperatures with height and are common on
nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They
begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog;
however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be
identified by the movement of the smoke from a ground
source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and
moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS (ground application)
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
Do not apply this product in a way thatwill contact workers
or other people, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application.
SENSITIVE AREAS
This product should be applied only when the potential for
drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies
of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered
species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is
blowing away from the sensitive areas). Small quantities of
spray may seriously injure susceptible crops either during .
active growth periods or dormancy.
PRECAUTIONS
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result
from the following:
• If equipment is drained or flushed on or near desirable trees
or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in
locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into
contact with their roots.
• Treatment of powdery, dry soil and light. sandy soils when
there is little likelihood of rainfall soon after treatment may
result in off target movement and possible damage to
susceptible crops when soil partick ,~ moved by wind or
water. Injury to crops may result if treated soil is washed,
blown or moved onto land used to produce crops. Exposure
to DuPont™ TELAR® DF may injure or kill most crops
(except small grains). Injury may be more severe when
crops are irrigated.
• Applications made during periods of intense rainfall, to soils
saturated with water, surfaces paved with materials such as
asphalt or concrete, or soils through which rainfall will not
readily penetrate may result in runoff and movement of
TELAR® DF. Do not treat frozen soil. Treated soil should
be left undisturbed to reduce the potential for TELAR® DF
movement by soil erosion due to wind or water.
• When TELAR® DF is applied at rates of 1 113·ounce/a and
less there is no restriction on grazing or haying of forage'
grasses.
Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar
areas.
Do not apply in or on irrigation ditches or canals including their
outer banks.
Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado:
Saguache, Rio Grande, Alamosa, Costilla, and Conejos.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

GENERAL INFORMATION
GLEAN® FC is a dry-flowable granule that controls many
broadleaf weeds. GLEAN® FC is mixed in water or directly
into liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions and applied as a
uniform broadcast spray. A surfactant should be used ,in the
spray mix unless otherwise specified on this label.
Note: For definitions of portions of States recommended on
this label, see listings of counties or area definitions on
Crop Rotation Interval charts of this label.
GLEAN® FC is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile,
and does not freeze.
GLEAN® FC controls weeds by both preemergence and
postemergence activity. For best preemergence results,
apply GLEAN® FC before weed seeds germinate. Use
sprinkler irrigation or allow rainfall to move GLEAN® FC
2 to 3" deep into the soil profile.
For best postemergence results, apply GLEAN® FC to
young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon
the weed spectrum and size of weeds 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.
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
GLEAN® FC is absorbed through the roots and foliage of
broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their growth. One to
three weeks after application to weeds, leaves of susceptible
plants appear chlorotic, and the growing point subsequently
dies. •
Postemergent application of GLEAN® FC provides the best
control in vigorously growing crops that shade compet1tive
weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand cHeeoing
skips may not be as satisfactory. However, a crop C<:IlD;DY
that is too dense at application can im;!~-c;!,!)t spraYa.1J; I
reduce weed control. ) ; .. :
GLEAN® FC may injure crops th~t :m:>:Jtessed fro:r..: I

pressure, or cultural practices. In addil;ion;~different v¢eties
of the crop may be sensitive to treacrn~iit)with GLH~~® FC
under otherwise normal conditions. Treatment Ot'E~J<;1:I) ,
varieties may result in crop injury. J J J
J
In warm, moist conditions, the expression of herbicitle'
symptoms is acceleratedin weeds; in cold, dry conditions,
expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition,
weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to
GLEAN®FC.
Rainfall is needed to move DuPont™ GLEAN® Fe into the soil
for preemergence weed control, but postemergence weed control
may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application.
Frequency of ApplicatiJJn
GLEAN® Fe can be used as either pre or postemergence
application once per crop period, but not both pre and post in
the same season.
CEREALS APPLICATIONS
GLEAN® FC is recommended for the control or suppression of
broadleaf weeds in wheat (including Durum), barley, triticale,
and oat.
Postemergence
Apply GLEAN®F8 at 1/6 to 1/3 oz per acre for
postemergence weed control in wheat (including Durum*),
barley, triticale, and oat.
Use 116 oz per acre for short-term control or suppression; use
1/3 oz per· acre for contact and residual weed control. Where
soil pH is 6.5 or lower, use 1/3 oz per acre where maximum
soil residual weed control is desired. Do not use less than 1/6
oz per acre.
Apply in the fall or spring anytime after the crop is in the 2-
leaf stage but before boot (before flag leaf for triticale).
Applications during or after boot may result in crop injury.
In the Pacific Northwest, apply GLEAN® Fe to spring
cereals anytime from the 2-leaf stage through the second joint
stage but before the flag leaf is visible.
In areas with severe winter weather, do not apply GLEAN®
. Fe during late fall, winter, or early spring unless crop is well
established and has started to tiller or crop injury may result.
GLEAN® FC should not be used within 60 days of crop
emergence where organophosphate insecticides have been
used as an in-furrow treatment or crop injury may result.
*Note: Apply to Vic durum after early tillering but before
boot.
Preemergence
Apply GLEAN® FC at 113 oz per acre for preemergence
weed control in winter oat and winter wheat.
In North Central Texas and Southern Oklahoma, apply
GLEAN® FC at 1/2 oz per acre for suppression of annual
ryegrass in winter oat and winter wheat.
Apply GLEAN® FC after planting seed, but before the crop
emerges. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation following treatment
is necessary to activate GLEAN® FC before weed seeds
germinate and develop an established root system. Wheat
and oat seeds should be planted at least 1" deep.
Do not apply GLEAN® FC preemergence if cold or dry
weather conditions exist. Wait until the weather improves
and the crop is growing vigorously before making the
application (See Postemergence). Preemergence
applications of GLEAN® FC are not recommended where
organophosphate insecticides have been used as an in­
furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
Do not apply GLEAN® FC preemergence to barley or
triticale.

CRP APPLICATIONS
GLEAN® FC is recommended for control of broad leaf
weeds in the following perennial native or improved grasses
grown on land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP):
Bentgrasses
Blue Grama
Bluestems -

Maximize potential for grass establishment by consulting
with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
or other local experts concerning planting techniques and
other cultural practices. Because newly planted CRP grass
stands do not sufficiently compete with weeds and because
weed pressure in CRP fields is often severe, performance
from GLEAN® FC may not always be satisfactory. An
additional herbicide application or mowing may be needed .
Preplant (prior to planting)
GLEAN® FC may be applied at 116 to 1/3 oz per acre to all
labelled grasses except bentgrasses, kleingrass,
orchardgrass, plains and WW Spar bluestems, and sheep
fescue. The 113 oz rate should be used for preemergence
applications where residual weed control is important.
If weeds are emerged at time of application, apply
GLEAN® FC with another herbicide having a different
mode of action such as glyphosate. Read and fo \I'!):v ,,,:p, use

GLEAN® FC with another broadleaf herbicide baving '1
different mode of action such as 2,4-D or dicamb~.) Read
and follow all use instructions, label rates, warnings, and
precautions for companion herbicides.
Early postemergence to established stands
DuPont™ GLEAN® FC may be applied at 116 to 1/4 oz per
acre on all labelled grasses (except bentgrasses, kleingrass,
orchardgras, plains, and WW Spar bluestems, and sheep
fescue) when the majority of the grasses have one or more
leaves. If stand shows signs of winter stress or a lack of
vigor, do not treat as grass injury may result.
If weeds are emerged at time of application, apply
GLEAN® FC with another broadleaf herbicide having a
different mode of action such as 2,4-D or dicamba. Read
and follow all use instructions, label rates, warnings, and
precautions for companion herbicides.
Late postemergence to established stands
GLEAN® FC may be applied at 116 to 113 o~ per acre on all
labelled grasses (make applications to beardless wildrye
grass only in the spring after tillering). If stand shows signs
of stress or a lack of vigor, do not treat as grass injury may
result.
If weeds are emerged at time of application, apply
GLEAN® FC with another broadleaf herbicide having it

and follow all use instructions, label rates, warnings, and
precautions for companion herbicides.
TALL FESCUE GROWN FOR SEED
APPLICATIONS
GLEAN® FC is recommended for control of broadleaf
weeds in Tall Fescue grown for seed in KS, OR, and WA.
Apply GLEAN® FC at 114 oz per acre in late summer to
early fall after harvest. If weeds are present, add a non­
ionic surfactant at 1 qt. per 100 gallons of spray solution.
To maximize crop safety, add 0.5 to 1.0 lb. active ingredient
of 2,4-D, and apply when Tall Fescue has less than 6" new
foliar growth.
Treatment with GLEAN® FC may reduce the height of Tall
Fescue. In areas of spray overlap, crop height and yields
may be reduced significantly. Applications made in the
spring while Tall Fescue is actively growing can result in
very significant crop damage. Spring germinating wild
carrot may not be controlled by a fall application of
GLEAN® FC. Do not mix GLEAN® FC with an
organophosphate insecticide as severe crop injury may
occur.
BORDER AREA APPLICATIONS
GLEAN® FC is recommended for control of broadleaf
weeds in field border areas and fence lines. Apply
GLEAN® FC at 114 to 112 oz per acre.
SURFACTANTS
Unless otherwise specified, add a nonionic surfactant having
at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1. to 2 qt
per 100 gal of spray solution).
The higher rate is particularly useful with spray volumes of
5 GPA or less and when using low rates of GLEAN® FC.
Consult your Agricultura1 dealer or applicator for recommended
surfactants.

Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for
surfactant
Antifoarning agents may be used if needed.

only.
5 Use GLEAN® FC to suppress these weeds in MT. ND, SD and
WYonly.
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
Annual Ryegrass (Southeast Oklahoma, Central and North
Central Texas): Apply DuPont™ GLEAN® FC preemergence at
1/2 oz per acre. One-half to 1" of rainfall is needed to move
GLEAN® FC into the root zone of weeds prior to ryegrass
emergence. Under abnormally wet conditions, fall applications
may not adequately control ryegrass andlor broadleaf weeds that
germinate in the spring.
Remove grazing cattle when fields are wet (muddy) to avoid
disturbing the herbicide barrier.
Canada Thistle: Apply GLEAN® FC with surfactant after the
majority of thistles have emerged and while they are small
(rosette stage to 4"-6" tall) and actively growing. For maximum
long-term effect, yearly treatment may be required.
Downy Brome (MT, ND, SD and WY): Apply GLEAN® FC
at 1/3 oz per acre in the fall for suppression of downy brome.
Application before downy brome germinates is preferred. After
emergence, best results are obtained if application is made
before downy brome is more than I" tall or beyond the 2 leaf
stage. 112 to I" of rainfall is needed to move GLEAN® FC into
the weed root zone before the downy brome establishes a 2" root
system.
Flixweed, Tansymustard (Northern Idaho, Oregon and
Washington): For best postemergence results, tank mix
GLEAN® FC at 1/3 oz per acre with another herbicide that is
effective on these weeds, such as 2,4-D.
In all other areas, apply GLEAN® FC at 116 to 1/3 oz per
acre when weeds are small and actively growing. If weeds are
inactive due to cold, dry weather before andlor after
treatment, delay application until moisture and temperature
conditions are favorable for active weed growth, or use a tank­
mix treatment with 2,4-D or MCPA.
Foxtail/Pigeongrass (green and yellow) (MT, ND, SD and
. WY): Apply GLEAN® FC at 1/3 oz per acre in the fall or
spring for suppression of these foxtail species. Application
before the foxtail germinates is preferred. After emergence, best
results are obtained if application is made before the foxtail is
more than I" tall or beyond the 2 leaf stage. 112 to I" of rainfall
is needed to move GLEAN® FC into the weed root zone before
the foxtail reaches the 3 leaf stage.
Lambsquarters: For best results, apply 1/3 oz per acre
GLEAN® FC in the fall.
For best postemergence suppression, apply GLEAN® FC plus
either 2,4-D or MCPA after the majority of weeds have emerged
(less than 2" tall or 2" across) and are actively growing. Soil
moisture should be adequate, and daily temperatures should
reach at least 60°F. Add surfactant at 112 to 1 qt per 100 gal of
spray solution. Ensure thorough spray coverage.
Persian Darnel (MT, ND, SD andWY): Apply GLEAN® FC
at 1/3 oz per acre in the fall or spring for suppression of Persian
darnel. Application before the Persian darnel germinates is
preferred. After emergence, best results are obtained if
application is made before the Persian darnel is beyond the 2
leaf stage. 1/2 to 1" of rainfall is needed to move GLEAN® FC
'into the weed root zone before the Persian darnel reaches the 3
leaf stage.
Prostrate Knotweed: For best results, apply in the fall.
Sunflower (New Mexico, Oklahoma Panhandle, and Texas):
For best results, apply GLEAN® FC after the majority of
sunflowers have emerged, are actively growing, and are not
more than 2" tall. Add surfactant at 2 qt per 100 gal of water. For
preemergence applications, apply GLEAN® FC in early spring
to allow rainfall to move GLEAN® FC into the weed root zone
before weeds germinate or develop an established root system.
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply GLEAN® FC
preemergence to wild buckwheat. For postemergence
applications, tank mix with either 2,4-D, MCPA, dicamba, or
bromoxynil and a surfactant and apply after the majority of
. seedlings have emerged and are actively growing,
5
Wild GarJic/Wild Onion: GLEAN® FC provides aerial bulblet
control only.
Wild Radish: For best results, apply postemergence.
TANK MIXTURES
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with other suitable registered
herbicides to control weeds listed under Weeds Partially
Controlled, weeds resistant to GLEAN® FC, or weeds not
listed under Weeds Controlled, GLEAN® FC may also be tank
mixed with other suitable registered insecticides, fungicides, and
liquid fertiIizers. Read and follow all manufacturer's label
recommendations for the companion product If those'
recommendations conflict with this label, do not tank mix with
GLEAN®FC.
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with 2,4-D or MCPA
(preferably ester formulations) herbicides after weeds have
emerged. For best results, use 116 to 113 oz of GLEAN® FC
per acre; add 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides to the tank at 1/4 to
112 lb active ingredient. Surfactant may be added to the
mixture at 112 to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution; however,
adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury.
Do not add a surfactant when GLEAN® FC plus 2,4-D or
MCPA is applied with liquid fertilizer.

Wah "Everest"
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with Everest herbicide for
improved control of grassy weeds in wheat. For Winter
Wheat, apply in the fall or spring any time after the crop has
two leaves on the main stem but before jointing begins. To
reduce the potential for crop injury, treat late-seeded winter
wheat after the crop has started to tiller but before jointing.
For Spring Wheat, apply any time after emergence but
before the majority of plants have 4 total leaves on the main
stem plus 2 tillers. Do not apply after jointing begins. Do
not apply to durum wheat. The addition of 0.25 to 0.75 pints
per acre of 2,4-D (4 lbgal) or 2 to 4 floz per acre of dicamba
(4Ibgal) to the GLEAN® FC plus Everest tank mix is
required when applying to spring wheat.
Wah "Maverick"
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with Maverick herbicide
for improved control of grassy weeds in wheat. Apply
GLEAN® FC with 213 oz per acre of Maverick herbicide
with 0.5% volume/volume (2 quarts per 100 gal of spray
solution) of non-ionic surfactant (NIS). This tank mix may
also include bromoxynil or fluroxypyr products for greater
spectrum broadleaf controL
Wah metribuzin
Use 116 to 113 oz per acre of GLEAN® FC with 1 to 10213 oz
. of metribuzin per acre. Metribuzin is recommended to control
downy brome and cheatgrass in winter wheat in Kansas, Idaho,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, and Washington or to broaden the
spectrum of weeds controlled. Use GLEAN® FC with low rates
of metribuzin (1 to 4 oz) when winter wheat is at the
2-leaf to 3 tiller stage.
Higher rates of metribuzin (4 or more oz) should be used in
combination with GLEAN® FC after the crop has at least 3
tillers and has a 2" secondary root system and is actively
growing.
GLEAN® FC plus metribuzin is recommended for barley in
Idaho, Oregon and Washington only.
Wah Other Herbicides
For broader spectrum weed control, GLEAN® FC carl be tank
mixed with other herbicides including products containing
bomoxynil, dicamba, and clopyralid. .
When tank mixing GLEAN® FC and "Assert", always include
another broadleaf herbicide having a different mode of action
(such as 2,4-D, MCPA, or bromoxynil». Tank mix applications
of GLEAN® FC plus ''Assert'' may cause temporary discol­
oration/stunting or injury to the crop when heavy rainfall occurs
shortly after the application.
6
Wzth Insecticides
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with insecticides. However,
under certain conditions (stress from drought, cold weather or
warm days and cold nights following application, or crops in the
2-4 leaf stage), tank mixtures or sequential treatments of
GLEAN® FC and organophosphate insecticides (such as methyl
or ethyl parathion, "Di-Syston", etc.) may produce temporary
crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. Test these
mixtures in a small area fifst If no symptoms of crop injury
occur 14 days after treatment, treat the rest of the acreage.
Do Dot use GLEAN® FC plus Malathion, as crop injury
mayresult.Do not apply GLEAN® FC within 60 days of crop .
emergence where an organophosphate insecticide (such as "Dj­
Syston") has been applied as an in-furrow treatment, as crop
injury may result .
Wzth Fungicides
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with DuPont™ MANZATE®
Pro-Stick™ fungicide or other fungicides whenever the proper
timing for herbicide and fungicide treatments coincide.
Wzth Liquid Fertilizer
GLEAN® FC may be tank mixed with liquid fertilizer for
application to crops. Note that adding surfactant to tank mixtures
of GLEAN ® FC and liquid fertilizer increases the risk of crop
injury. Therefore, before mixing GLEAN® FC with fertilizer,
check the compatibility of the tank mix on a small area before
treating the entire crop.
Do not use GLEAN® FC with liquid fertilizers having a pH of
3.0 or less, as rapid product degradation can result
Note: Liquid fertilizers are significantly heavier than water per
gal of liquid; therefore, to maintain proper spray volumes, adjust
the nozzle type and nozzle pressure as necessary. Consult
fertilizer solution suppliers and/or sprayer systems company
catalogs to determine the appropriate spray nozzles .

drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of thls labeL
Continuous agitation is required to keep GLEAN® FC in
suspension.
GROUND APPLICATION
To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough
coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
When using flat-fan nozzles, use a spray volume of at least 3 gal
per acre (GPA). When using flood jet or ''Raindfdp RAn
nozzles, use higher spray volume (minimum 20 GPA) to ensure
thorough coverage. However, DuPont™ GLEAN® Fe may not
be applied at less than 10 GPA when using small orifice
flooding nozzles such as flood jet TK 5 to TK 7.5 or equivalent
These flooding nozzles must be on a 30-inch spacing or not less
than 13 GPA when on a 4O-inch spacing. It is essential to
overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum
spray distribution and maximum coverage at 1 to 5 GPA.
Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
When applying GLEAN® FC by air in areas where sensitive
crops are nearby, use solid stream nozzles oriented straight
back. Adjust swath to avoid spray drift damage to downwind
sensitive crops andlor use ground equipment to treat border
edge of field. See "Spray Drift Management" section of this
label.
PRODUCT MEASUREMENT
GLEAN® FC is measured using the GLEAN® FC volumetric
measuring cylinder. The degree of accuracy of this cylinder
varies by ± 7.5 %. For more precise measurement., use scales
calibrated in ounces. . .
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 114 to 113 full of water (If using liquid
nitrogen fertilizer solution in place of water, see Tank
Mixtures sections for additional details).
2. While agitating, add the required amount of GLEAN®
FC:
3. Continue agitation until the GLEAN® FC is fully
dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the GLEAN® FC is fully dispersed, maintain
agitation and continue filling tank with water. GLEAN®
FC should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding
any other material.
.5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired)
then add the necessary volume of nonionic surfactant.
Always add surfactant last.
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will
occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before '
using.
7. Apply GLEAN® FC spray mixture within 24 hours of
mixing to avoid proQuct degradation.
8. If GLEAN® FC and a tank mix partner are to be applied
in multiple loads, pre-slurry the GLEAN® FC in clean
water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the
tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of
the GLEAN® FC.
7
Do not use GLEAN® FC with spray additives that reduce
the pH of the spray solution to below 3.0.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
Before Spraying GLEAN® FC
Spray equipment must be cleaned before GLEAN® FC is
sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the
labels of previously applied products. If no directions are
provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying
GLEAN® FC section on this label.
At the End of the Day
When multiple loads of GLEAN® FC herbicide are applied, it
is recommended 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 GLEAN® FC and Before Spraying Crops
Not Labelled for a GLEAN® FC Application
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly
clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
following applications of GLEAN® FC as follows:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses
with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any
visible deposits.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household
ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water.
Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank.
Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses
for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles
again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate 50lutiC)n

1. Caution: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia as
darigerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an
enclosed area.
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended prior to
performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the
removal of any caked deposits.
3. When DuPont™ GLEAN® FC is tank mixed with other
pesticides, all required cleanout procedures should be
examined and the most rigorous procedure should be
followed.
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout
guidelines on subsequently applied products should be
followed as per the individual labels.
5. Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment
frequently being switched between applications of GLEAN®
FC and applications of other pesticides to GLEAN® FC­
sensitive crops during the same spray season; it is
recommended that a sprayer be dedicated to GLEAN® FC to
further reduce the chance of crop injury.
GRAZING
There are no grazing restrictions on GLEAN® FC.
CROP ROTATION
Before using GLEAN® FC, carefully consider your crop
rotation plans and options. For rotational flexibility, do not
treat all of your wheat, barley, oat, or fallow acres at the
same time. .
MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVALS
Minimum recropping intervals* are determined by the rate of
breakdown of GLEAN® FC applied~ GLEAN® FC breakdown
in the soil is affected by soil pH, soil temperature, and soil
moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil
moisture increase GLEAN® FC breakdown in soil, while high
soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil moisture slow
GLEAN® FC breakdown.
Of these three factors,· only soil pH remains relatively constant
Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil moisture, can vary
significantly from year to year and from area to area For this
reason, soil temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored
regularly when considering recropping.
* The minimum recropping interval represents the period of time from
the last application to the anticipated date of the next planting.
SOIL PH LIMITATIONS
GLEAN® FC should.not be used on soils having a pH above
7.9, as extended soil residual activity could extend crop rotation
intervals beyond normal, and under certain conditions, could
injure wheat, barley, or oat In addition, other crops planted in
high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations
of GLEAN® FC.
Checking Soil pH
Before using GLEAN® FC, determine the soil pH of the areas
of intended use. To obtain a representative pH value for the test
area, take several 0 to 4" samples from different areas of the
field and analyze them separately. Consult local extension
publications for additional information on recommended soil
sampling procedures.
8
BIOASSAY
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to crops
not listed on this label or when rotating at intervals shorter
than those listed in the Crop Rotation section.
To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or
crops you plan to grow the following year in fields
previously treated with GLEAN® FC. Crop response to the
bioassay will indicate whether or not to rotate to the crop(s)
grown in the test strips.
If a field bioassay is planned, check with your local
agricultural dealer, state cooperative extension service, or
DuPont representative, for information detailing field
bioassay procedure.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factor&
determines the potential for spray drift The user is responsible
for considering all these factors when making application
decisions. Follow the additional precautions below to minimize
the potential for spray drift
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSmILITY OF
THE APPLICATOR.
Drift Control Adjuvants
A drift control adjuvant may be used to reduce the potential for
drift However, because it is the combined physical-chemical
properties of all the ingredients in the spray mix that can
determine drift potential, the applicator must confirm that the
drift control adjuvant used is having the desired effect with the
tank mix that is being applied. If a drift control adjuvant is used,
follow the use directions and precautions on the manufacturer's
label. Do not use an adjuvant which increases viscosity with
application systems that cannot accommodate viscous sprays.
Ground Application: With ground equipment, spray drift can
be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible (i.e., a
release height of 4 feet or less above the application target); by
applying 10 gallons or more of spray per acre; by keeping the
operating spray pressures at the manufacturer's recommended
minimum pressures for the specific nozzle type used; and by
spraying when the wind velocity is low (follow all applicable
state regulations).
Do not make ground applications within a surface tempeniture
inversion when applying near an area requiring protection to
avoid an unreasonable adverse effect. Applicators may
determine presence of an inversion by noting the presence of
ground fog, light variable wind, or layering of smoke and dust.
Be particularly alert to the potential for a surface temperature
inversion when winds are calm.
Direct the sprays no higher than the tops of target vegetation,
and maintain spray pressures at levels which provide coarse to
very coarse spray droplets to minimize drift
Aerial Application: The following drift management
requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift
movement from aerial applications:
1. The distance between the outer most operating nozzles on the
boom must not exceed 75% of the wingspan. For helicopters,
use a boom length and position that prevents droplets from
entering the rotor vortices.
2. Nozzles should always point backward parallel with the air
stream.
"
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be
observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into
account the information presented below.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
Since the most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets (> 150-200 microns), equipment producing a
coarse to very coarse droplet spectrum must be used when
applying this product. The best drift management strategy is to
apply the coarsest drop size spectrum that provides sufficient
coyerage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby,
the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how
an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING
LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POlENTIAL, BUT
WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE
MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDmONS!
See "WIND", ''TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY", and
"SURFACE lEMPERATURE INVERSIONS" sections of this
label.
12
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Application
• Volume - Use high' flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume, Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets,
• Pressure - Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended
pressures, Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the
nozzle, Higher pressure generally reduces droplet size and
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER­
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSlEAD OF INCREASING
PRESSURE.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type according to manufacturer's
specifications which is designed for the intended application,
and that produces a coarse to very coarse droplet size
spectrum. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets. To further reduce drift, low-drift or
drift reducing nozzles should be used.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles
with the highest flow rate that provide unifonn coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - For some nozzle types; such as solid
streams, orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted
backwards, parallel to the air stream minimizes the effects of
air shear and will produce a coarser droplet spectrum than
other orientations. For applications of this product, nozzles
must be oriented in a manner that results in the application of
a coarse to very coarse droplet size spectrum.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type according to manufacturer's
specifications which is designed for the intended application.
With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger
droplets. Solid stream and other drift reducing nozzles should
be used.
BOOM LENGTH AND HEIGHT
• Boom Height (ground) Setting the boom at the lowest
referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform
coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and
wind. The boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce. Apply at a height no greater than 4 feet
above the top of the largest plants.
• Application Height (aircraft) - Apply at a height no greater
than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants, unless a
greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making
applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces 9rf,)513~~
of droplets to evaporation and wind.

(75%) of the wingspan -longer booms increase drift potential.
For helicopters, use a boom length and position that prevents
droplets from entering the rotor vortices.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT
"When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be
displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges
of the field, the applicator must compensate for this
displacement by adjusting the path of the application equipment
upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with
increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
WIND (GROUND AND AERIAL APPLICATION)
Drift potential is lowest with a sustained wind of 2-10 mph.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment
type, detennine drift potential at any given wind speed.
Application should be avoided during gusty conditions, and
when winds are below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and
high potential for a temperature inversion. Avoid applying
during calm conditions which may be conducive to air
inversions.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how
they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY (GROUND AND
AERIAL APPLICATIONS)
"When making applications in low relative humidity, set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for
evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions
are both hot and dry.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
(GROUND AND AERIAL APPLICATIONS)
Applications must not occur during a local, surface temperature
inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature mversions
restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move
in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds which
are common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with height and are
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into
the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog;
however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified
by the movement of the smoke from a ground source or an
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally
in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects
of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to
verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering
with uniform deposition of the product.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or .
other people, either directly or through drift. Only protected
handlers may be in the area during application.
13
)
SENSITIVE AREAS
This product should be applied only when the potential for drift
to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water,
known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target
crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the
sensitive areas). Small quantities of spray may seriously injure
susceptible crops either during active growth periods or
dormancy.
RESISTANCE
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of
action are used repeatedly over several years to control the
same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring
resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be
expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be
necessary to retreat the problem area using a product
affecting a different site of action.
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the
proliferation and possible dominance ~f herbicide resistant
weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural
practices within and between crop seasons such as using a
combination of tillage, retreatment, tank -rillx partners
and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different
site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied
to individual fields to help .obtain information on the spread
and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your
agricultural dealer, conSUltant, applicator, and/or appropriate
state agricultural extension service representative for
specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide
recommendations available in your area.
Naturally occurring weed biotypes that are resistant to
"Amber" herbicide, DuPont™ ALLY® herbicide, DuPont™
FINESSE® herbicide, DuPont™ EXPRESS® herbicide or
DuPont™ HARMONY® Extra herbicide will also be
resistant to DuPont™ GLEAN® Fe.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest
Management (!PM) program that can include biological,
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic
pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field
scouting or ather 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.

GENERALPRECAunONS
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, tennis courts, or
similar areas.
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 (such as spray drift) with non-target
plants or areas.
• Carefully observe sprayer cleanup instructions, both prior
to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may
damage crops other than wheat, barley, or oat.
Crop varieties may differ in their response to various
herbicides. DuPont recommends 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 DuPont™ GLEAN® FC to a small
area.
Do not apply GLEAN® FC to crops that are stressed by
severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water­
saturated soil, disease or insect damage, as crop injury may
result. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or insect
damage following application may also result in crop injury.
Do not apply to crops mixed with legumes, as injury to the
legumes will result.
Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoff may
result.
Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
Do not apply to irrigated land where tail water will be used
to irrigate other cropland.
Only make one application of the active ingredient
chlorsulfuron per crop season.
Preemergence weed control or suppression may be unsatis­
factory on soils containing 5% or more organic matter.
Fall applications on coarse textured soils (especially those
having a pH of greater than 7.0) may not provide adequate
control or suppression of spring germinating weeds.
To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to
wind erosion, do not apply to powdery dry or light sandy
soils until they have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy
mulch, reduced tillage or other cultural practices. Injury to
immediately adjacent crops may result when treated soil is
blown onto land used to produce crops other than cereal
grains.
For ground applications applied postemergence to weeds
when dry, dusty field conditions exist, control of weeds in
wheel track areas may be reduced. The addition of 2,4-D or
. MCPA should improve weed control under these conditions.
In far-western Kansas (last tier of counties along the
. Colorado/Kansas border), Western Nebraska, Eastern New
Mexico, and the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles, take the
following precautions:
• Do not use a tank mix containing DuPont™ ALLY®
herbicide within 22 months of GLEAN® FC application.
• Do not use GLEAN® FC in continuous cereals or
cereal/fallow/cereal rotations.
• GLEAN® FC in a tank mix at 116 to 1/3 oz per acre may
be used only as a fallow treatment in corn or sorghum
stubble in wheat/sorghum/fallow, or wheat/corn/fallow
rotations where other residual broadleaf herbicides having
different modes of action are used.
In California, Northern Idaho, Oregon, and Washington,
take the following precautions:
• Do not make an early season treatment where a tank mix
cannot be made.
• Do not apply GLEAN® FC during fallow.
Additional Precautions for Cereals
Wherever GLEAN® FC is used on land previously treated with
FINESSE®, ALLY®, "Amber", "Assert", or other longer
residual herbicides with the same mode of action, read the
rotational guidelines on both labels and follow the one with the
longest interval stated for your situation before choosing t6
rotate to crops other than wheat or barley.
14
Preemergence applications of 2,4-D or herbicides
containing 2,4-D made within two weeks of planting spring
cereals may cause crop injury when used in conjunction
with preemergence or early postemergence applications of
GLEAN®FC.
The combined effects of the preemergence use of GLEAN®
FC plus preemergence wild oat herbicides may cause crop
injury to spring wheat when crop stress (soil crusting,
planting too deep, prolonged cold, wet weather, or drought)
causes poor seedling vigor.
Do not apply GLEAN® FC during boot or early heading as
crop injury may result.
Do not harvest grain sooner than 45 days after the
application of GLEAN® FC.
In the Pacific Northwest, to prevent crop injury due to cold
weather, avoid making preemergence applications or early
postemergence applications (2-4 leaf stage) to wheat or
barley during late fall or winter when cold weather
conditions are unpredictable and can be severe. The
combined effects of herbicide stress plus cold weather stress
can result in greater crop injury than either stress factor
alone.

Broadleaf forage species, such as clover and alfalfa, are sensitive
to DuPont'M TELAR® DF and will be severely stunted or injured
by TELAR®DF.
Forage grasses which are under stress from drought, insects,
disease, cold temperature or poor fertility may be injured by
TELAR®DF.
Forage grasses should be well established before applying
TELAR® DF as the newly emerged seedlings of some forage
grasses are sensitive to TELAR® DF.
TELAR® DF applied before the initiation of flowering may
cause the abortion or suppression of seedheads by some cool
season grasses.
Varieties and species of forage grasses differ in their tolerance to
TELAR DF. Ryegrass (perennial and Italian) may be severely
injured. Fescues may be temporarily stunted or yellowed. When
using TELAR® DF on a particular grass for the first time, limit
the area treated. If no injury occurs, larger areas may be treated
in subsequent years.
There are no grazing or hay harvest restrictions for any live­
stock, including lactating animals, with application rates up to 1
113 ounce/acre of TELAR® DF. No exclosure is required for
any animals.
Do not apply more than 1 1/3 ozJacre of TELAR® DF per year.
Refer to the package label for information regarding sprayer
cleanup.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors deter­
mines the potential forspray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all these factors when making application decisions.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRlFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 11fE
APPLICATOR.
\ IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large
droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is
to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and
control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances
drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT
DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR
UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDmONS!
See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Surface Temperature
Inversions sections of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical
spray volume .. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the
nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve
canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE
NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD
OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with
the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is
emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger
droplets than other orientations.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with
swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets
than other nozzle types.
BOOM LENGTH AND HEIGlIT
• Boom Length (aircraft) - The boom length should not exceed 3/4
of the wing length, using shorter booms decreases drift potential.
For helicopters use a boom length and position that prevents
droplets from entering the rotor vortices.
• Boom Height (aircraft) - Application more than 10 ft above the
canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
• Boom Height (ground) Setting the boom at the lowest height
which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets
to evaporation and wind. The boom should remain level with the
crop and have minimal bounce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to
variable direction and inversion potential) or more than 10 mph.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLI­
CATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDmONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they effect spray
drift.
H - 64469 Page 2 of3
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equip­
ment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion.
Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small
suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally
in a concentrated cloud. Surface inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the
sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be
indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions
can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground
source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves·
laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indi­
cates a surface inversion, while smoke that moves upward and
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of
wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that
the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform
deposition of the product.
