http://www.monsanto.com
On June 17, 2009, the Agency approved a master label on EPA Reg. No. 524-517 with a number of
changes required. Monsanto then submitted an update to that master label to add the applicable
refillable container language which was approved October 29, 2009 with 2 conditions:
1 - Remove Pro, Xtra or XL from the product name due to a new EPA policy.
2 - Delete 'general' from 'General Infbrmation', 'GeneraIAreas', etc in the label.
The Agency later stated that clarification of brand names via the use of a tag line or * clarifier will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. In December, 2009, Moosanto submitted another master label,
approved January 25,2010 on 524-517 which incorporategthe changes requested in item 2 above and
to appropriately qualify the meaning of the brand name Ranger PRO. At that time the container
handling and disposal language for refillable containers, approved October 29, 2009, was inadvertently
left off.
Monsanto is hereby submitting a notification of the directions for use that includes the corrected stora!1)~'
and disposal language as required by PR Notice 2007-4 as amended. The language for the refillable
container is adopted exactly as set forth in the regulations.
Notification of label change per PR notice 2007-4. This notification of is consistent with the guidance in PR
Notice 2007-4 and the requirements of EPA's regulations at 40 CFR §§ 156.10, 156.140, 156.144, 156.146
and 156.156. No other changes have been made to the labeling or the confidential statement of formula of
this product. I understand that it is a violation of 18 USC Sec. 1001 to willfully make any false statements to
the EPA. I further understand that if this notification is not consistent with the 40 CFR §§156.10, 156.140,
156.144, 156.146 and 156.156, this product may be in violation of FIFRA and I may be subject to
enforcement actions and penalties under sections 12 and 14 of FIFRA.
Final printed labeling will be submitted prior to release of product that will include the Spanish
translation of this language. If you should have any questions regarding this submission, please call Dr.
Russell P. Schneider at (202) 383-2866 or call me at (314) 694-6576.

5.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Description: This product is a postemergence, systemic
herbicide with no residual soil activity. It gives broad-spectrum control
of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody brush and trees. It is
formulated as a water-soluble liquid containing surfactant and no
additional surfactant is needed or recommended. It may be applied
through standard equipment after dilution and mixing with water or other
carriers according to label instructions.
Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the
point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects are
a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete
browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant
parts. Effects are visible on most annual weeds within 2 to 4 days, but on
most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or
cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and
. delay development of visual symptoms.
Stage of Weeds: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are
small. Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment
is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. See the "WEEDS
CONTROLLED" sections of this label for specific weed rates.
Always use the higher product application rate in the range when weed
growth is heavy or dense, or when weeds are growing in an undisturbed
(non-cultivated) area. Reduced weed control may result from treating
weeds with disease or insect damage, weeds heavily covered with dust,
or weeds under poor growing conditions.
Mode of Action in Plants: The active ingredient in this product inhibits
an enzyme found only in plants and microorganisms that is essential to
formation of specific amino acids.
Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when applications
are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed
or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the appropriate stage for
treatment.
Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product
off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate
control.
Spray Coverage: For best results, ensure spray coverage is uniform and
complete. Do not spray foliage to the point of runoff.
No Soil Activity: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be
controlled by this product. Weeds germinating from seed after application

will not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from unattached
underground rhizomes or rootstocks of perennials will not be affected by
the herbicide and will continue to grow.
Maximum Application Rates: The maximum application or use rates
stated throughout this label are given in units of volume (fluid ounces
or quarts) of this product per acre. However, the maximum allowed
application rates apply to this product combined with the use of any and
all other herbicides containing the active ingredient glyphosate, whether
applied separately or as tank mixtures, on a basis of total pounds of
glyphosate (acid equivalents) per acre. If more than one glyphosate­

5.1 Weed Resistance Management
I GROUP _ HERBICIDE I
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 9 herbicide
based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science
Society of America. Any weed population may contain plants naturally
resistant to Group 9 herbicides. Weed species resistant to Group 9
herbicides may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a
different Group or using other cultural or mechanical practices.
To minimize the occurrence of glyphosate resistant biotypes observe the
following good weed management practices:
• Scout your application site before and after herbicide applications.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small.
-Incorporate other herbicides and cultural or mechanical practices as part
of your weed control system where appropriate.
- Utilize the label rate for the most difficult weed in the site. Avoid tank­
mixtures with other herbicides that reduce this product's efficacy
(through antagonism) or tank mixtures which encourage rates of this
product below the labeled amounts.
-Control weed escapes and prevent weeds from setting seeds.
- Clean equipment before moving from site to site to minimize spread
of weed seed.
- Use new commercial seed as free of weed seed as possible.
- Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a
particular weed to your Monsanto representative, local retailer, or county
extension agent.

5.2 Management for Glyphosate
Resistant Weed Biotypes
NOTE: Appropriate testing is critical in order to confirm weed resistance
to glyphosate. Contact your Monsanto representative to determine if
resistance has been confirmed to any particular weed biotype in your area.
Control instructions for biotypes confirmed as resistant to glyphosate are
made available on separately published supplemental labeling or Fact
Sheets for this product and may be obtained from your local retailer or
Monsanto representative.
Since the occurrence of new glyphosate resistant weeds cannot be
determined until after product use and scientific confirmation, Monsanto
Company is not responsible for any losses that may result from the failure
of this product to control glyphosate resistant weed biotypes.
The following good weed management practices are encouraged to reduce
the spread of confirmed glyphosate resistant biotypes:
-If a naturally occurring resistant biotype is present at your site, this
product may be tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriately
labeled herbicide with a different mode of action to achieve control.
- Cultural and mechanical control practices may also be used as
appropriate.
- Scout treated sites after herbicide applications and control escapes of
resistant biotypes before they set seed.
- Thoroughly clean equipment before leaving sites known to contain
resistant biotypes.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS
PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto
desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause
severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants or other areas on which
treatment was not intended.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the
applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and/or
the grower is responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions.
7.1 Aerial Equipment
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT
UNDER CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL.
FOR AERIAL APPLICATION IN CALIFORNIA, REFER TO THE FEDERAL
SUPPLEMENTAL LABEL FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS IN THAT STATE FOR
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS, RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS.
TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE
BUFFER ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
Avoid direct application to any body of water.
Use the labeled rates of this herbicide in 3 to 25 gallons of water per acre.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle
configurations that dispense spray as fine spray droplets. Do not angle
nozzles forward into the air stream and do not increase spray volume by
increasing nozzle pressure. Drift control additives may be used. When a
drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary
statements and all other information appearing on the additive label.
Ensure uniform application-To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped
application, use appropriate marking devices.
Aircraft Maintenance
PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL
SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF
THE PART. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets
aerospace specification MIL-C-38413 may prevent corrosion. To prevent
corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of
spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying
or from spills. Landing gear is most susceptible.
AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid
off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field
crops.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed
3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and
never be pOinted downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have
more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
Importance of droplet size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets.
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets
that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets
reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made
improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see the Wind,
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections of this
label).
Controlling droplet size
• Volume: Use high flow-rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray
volume. Nozzles with the higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures labeled for the nozzle. Higher
pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration.
When higher flow-rates are needed, use higherflow-rate nozzles instead
of increasing pressure.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 19

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 20
• Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide
uniform coverage.
• Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released
backwards, parallel to the air stream, will produce larger droplets than
other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce
droplet size and increase drift potential.
• 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. Solid stream nozzles
oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
• Boom length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom
length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further
reduce drift without reducing swath width.
• Application Height: Applications must not be made at a height 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 the exposure of the droplets to evaporation and wind.
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 aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance increases, with increasing
drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 miles per hour.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application must be avoided
below 2 miles per hour due to variable wind direction and high inversion
potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to
produce larger droplets to compensateior evaporation. Droplet evaporation
is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift
potential is high. Temperature 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
common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets
and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by
ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified
by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas
This product must only be applied 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).
7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment
Apply the labeled rates of this product in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre
as a broadcast spray unless otherwise specified in this label or in separate
supplemental labeling or Fact Sheets published by Monsanto. As density of
weeds increases, increase spray volume within the labeled range to ensure
complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles to avoid spraying a
fine mist. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat-fan
nozzles. Check for even distribution of spray droplets.

7.3 Backpack or High-Volume
Equipment
Apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a
spray-to-wet basis, ensure spray coverage is uniform and complete. Do
not spray to the point of runoff. Use coarse sprays only.
Refer to the "Annual Weeds" instructions of "WEEDS CONTROLLED"
section for specific rates and restrictions.
7.4 Selective Equipment
This product may be diluted with water and applied through recirculating
spray systems, shielded applicators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or
sponge bars, to listed weeds growing in any site specified on this label.
AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact
of this product with desirable vegetation may result in unwanted plant
damage or destruction.
Recirculating Spray
A recirculating spray system directs the spray solution onto weeds growing
above desirable vegetation, while spray solution not intercepted by weeds
is collected and returned to the spray tank for reuse.
Adjust application equipment used above desired vegetation to the
lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is at least 2 inches above
the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide
solution settling on desirable vegetation is likely to result in discoloration,
stunting or destruction.
Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the
herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted. by the herbicide solution will not
be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, severe infestations or when
the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In these
instances, repeat treatment may be necessary.
Shielded and Hooded Applicators
A shielded or hooded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds,
while shielding desirable vegetation from the herbicide. Use nozzles that
provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep shields on these
sprayers adjusted to protect desirable vegetation. EXTREME CARE MUST
BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE
VEGETATION.
Wiper Applicators and Sponge Bars
A wiper or sponge applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds
by rubbing the weed with an absorbent material containing the herbicide
solution. Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent
the herbicide solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Operate this
equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 miles per hour. Performance
may be improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations
to ensure adequate wiper saturation. Better results may be obtained if
2 applications are made in opposite directions.
Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of
applicator to ensure adequate contact with weeds. Keep wiping surfaces
clean. Be aware that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may
migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying of the wicks on the
upper end of a wiper applicator.
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a I-day period, as
reduced product performance may result from the use of solutions held
in storage. Clean wiper parts immediately after using this product by
thoroughly flushing with water.
For Rope or Sponge Wick Applicators: Solutions ranging from 33 to
75 percent of this product in water may be used.
For Panel Applicators and Pressure-Feed Systems: Solutions ranging
from 33 to 100 percent of this product in water may be used.

Bromus Species and Medusahead in Pastures and Rangelands
Bromus species. This product may be used to treat downy brome
(Bromus fecforum), Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus), soft chess
(Bromus mo/lis) and cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus) found in industrial,
rangeland and pasture sites. Apply 8 to 16 fluid ounces of this product per
acre on a broadcast basis.
For best results, coincide treatment with early seed head emergence of the
most mature plants. Delaying the application until this growth stage will
maximize the emergence of other weedy grass flushes. Make applications
to the same site each year until seed banks are depleted and the desirable
perennial grasses can become reestablished on the site.
Medusahead. To treat medusa head, apply 16 fluid ounces of this product
per acre as soon as plants are actively growing, and prior to the 4-leaf
stage. Applications may be made in the fall or spring.
Applications to brome and medusahead may be made using ground or

Turfgrass Renovation, Seed, or Sod Production
This product controls most existing vegetation prior to renovating turfgrass
areas or establishing turfgrass grown for seed or sod. For maximum
control of existing vegetation, delay planting or sodding to determine if
any regrowth from escaped underground plant parts occurs. Where repeat
treatments are necessary, sufficient regrowth must be attained prior to
application. For warm-season grasses like bermudagrass, summer or fall
applications provide the best control. Where existing vegetation is growing
under mowed turfgrass management, apply this product after omitting at
least one regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good interception
of the spray.
Do not disturb soil or underground plant parts before treatment. Delay
tillage or renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring or slicing
for 7 days after application to allow translocation into underground plant
parts.
Desirable turfgrasses may be planted following the above procedures.
Hand-held equipment may be used for spot treatment of unwanted
vegetation growing in existing turfgrass. Broadcast or hand-held equipment
may be used to control sod remnants or other unwanted vegetation after

diameter at breast height (DBH). This is best achieved by applying a 50 to
100 percent concentration of this product either to a continuous frill around
the tree or as cuts evenly spaced around the tree below all branches. As
tree diameter increases in size, better results are achieved by applying
diluted material to a continuous frill or more closely spaced cuttings. Avoid
application techniques that allow runoff to occur from frilled or cut areas
in species that exude sap freely. In these species, make the frill or cuts

9.0 WEEDS CONTROLLED
Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the labeled
range when weed growth is heavy or dense or weeds are growing in an
undisturbed (non-cultivated) area.
Reduced results may occur when treating weeds heavily covered with
dust. For weeds that have been mowed, grazed or cut, allow regrowth to
occur prior to treatment.
For low-volume directed spray applications, use a 5- to lO-percent
solution of this product for control or partial control of annual weeds,
perennial weeds, or woody brush and trees. Spray coverage must be
uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage contacted. Coverage of the
top one-half of the plant is important for best results. To ensure adequate
spray coverage, spray both sides of large or tall woody brush and trees,
when foliage is thick and dense, or where there are multiple resprouts.
Refer to the following label sections for labeled rates for the control of
annual and perennial weeds and woody brush and trees. For difficult to
control perennial weeds and woody brush and trees, where plants are
growing under stressed conditions, or where infestations are dense, this
product may be used at 5 to 10 quarts per acre for enhanced results.
9.l Annual Weeds
Use 1 quart per acre if weeds are less than 6 inches in height or runner length
and 1.5 quarts to 4 quarts per acre if weeds are over 6 inches in height or
runner length or when weeds are growing under stressed conditions.
For spray-to-wet applications, apply a I/2-percent solution of this product
to weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner length. Apply prior to
seed head formation in grass or bud formation in broad leaf weeds. For
annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or for smaller weeds growing under
stressed conditions, use a 1- to 2-percent solution. Use the higher rate
for tough-to-control species or for weeds over 24 inches tall.

partially controlled using 1 pint of this product per acre. Applications
must be made using 3 to 10 gallons of carrier volume per acre. Use
nozzles that ensure thorough coverage of foliage and treat when weeds
are in an early growth stage.
9.2 Perennial Weeds
Best results are obtained when perennial weeds are treated after they
reach the reproductive stage of growth (seed head initiation in grasses
and bud formation in broadleaves). For non-flowering plants, best results
are obtained when the plants reach a mature stage of growth. In many
situations, treatments are required prior to these growth stages. Under
these conditions, use the higher application rate within the labeled
range.
Use a 2-percent solution on tough-to-control perennials like bermudagrass,
dock, field bindweed, hemp dogbane, milkweed and Canada thistle.
Ensure thorough coverage when using spray-to-wet treatments using
hand-held equipment. When using hand-held equipment for low-volume

9.3 Woody Brush and Trees
Apply this product after full leaf expansion, unless otherwise directed
in this label or separate supplemental label or Fact Sheet published by
Monsanto. Use the higher rate for larger plants and/or dense areas of
growth. On vines, use the higher rate for plants that have reached the
woody stage of growth. Best results are obtained when application is made
in late summer or fall after fruit formation.
In arid areas, best results are obtained when applications are made in the
spring to early summer when brush species are at high moisture content
and are flowering.
Ensure thorough coverage when using spray-to-wet treatments using
hand-held equipment. When using hand-held equipment for low-volume
directed-spray spot treatments, apply a 5- to 10-percent solution of this
product.
Symptoms may not appear prior to frost or senescence with fall
treatments.
Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage, mowing or removal.
Repeat treatments may be necessary to control plants regenerating from
underground parts or seed. Some autumn colors on undesirable deciduous
species are acceptable provided no major leaf drop has occurred. Reduced
performance may result if fall treatments are made following a frost.
