GENERAL INFORMATION
BACKDRAFT CP provides bumdown and residual control of many broadleaf and grassy weeds in
soybeans. It can be applied to no-till soybeans either as a burndown prior to planting or postemergence to
ROUNDUP READY soybeans for weed control. BACKDRAFT CP is effective for control of difficult
weeds common to no-till production, including marestail.
BURNDOWN WEED CONTROL (No-till soybeans and stale seedbed)
Apply BACKDRAFT CP herbicide for bumdown of weeds-in no-till soybeans. It may be applied prior to
planting, or preemergence of any soybean variety (including ROUNDUP READY soybeans). Add 2,4-D
to the spray tank for enhanced control of perennial weeds including marestail and hemp dogbane.
ROUNDUP READY SOYBEANS (glypbosate resistant)
BACKDRAFT CP may also be applied for postemergence weed control in ROUNDUP READY
soybeans. Apply BACKDRAFT CP for general weed burndown and residual control of broadleaf and
grassy weeds.
For season-long control of grasses, apply PROWL® 3.3 EC herbicide prior to planting soybeans.
PROWL 3.3 EC will also enhance control of waterhemp. A postemergence application of BACKDRAFT
CP will control any escape weeds and provide season-long control of most broadleaf and grass weeds.
NOTE: DO NOT apply BACKDRAFT CP postemergence to non-glypbosate-resistant soybeans.
Refer to the SCEPTER 70 DG label and ROUNDUP ULTRA label for additional information regarding
WEEDS CONTROLLED, MIXING AND SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to the ROUNDUP
ULTRA label or other herbicide labels for additional information regarding precautions, weeds
controlled, and other information.
ATTENTION
AVOID CONTACT OF BACKDRAFT CP WITH FOLIAGE OF DESIRABLE PLANTS, BECAUSE
SEVERE INJURY OR PLANT DEATH MAY RESULT.
AVOID DRiIT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO
PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS.
-
Do not allow the herbicide solution to drift onto desirable vegetation Very small amounts of drift may
cause injury or death to desirable crops or plants. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this
product increases when winds are gusty. The risk of injury from this product increases, when wind
direction is constantly changing or durinll inversion conditions or other weather conditions that favor
drift. Avoid applications using high spray pressure and high speed. These contribute to conditions that
favor small spray droplets and drift.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
BURNDOWN OR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS OF BACKDRAFT CP REQUIRE THE
ADDITION OF A SURFACTANT AND FERTILIZER.
I. SURFACTANTS: Use a non-ionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient. Apply
the surfactant at the rate of 0.25% vlv of the spray mixture.
AND
II. FERTILIZER: Include a fertilizer in the spray solution. Add spray grade ammonium sulfate at
the rate of 2.5 lb. per acre. Instead of ammonium sulfate, a nitrogen-based liquid fertilizer (such as
28%N, 32%N or 10-34-0) may be used at the rate of 1-2 quarts per acre. Use the higher rate when
weeds are under moisture or temperature stress.
When mixing BACKDRAFT CP, while agitating, add components in the following order:
1) Fill spray tank 1/2 full with clean water.
2) Add SCEPTER 70 DG and thoroughly mix.
3) Add ROUNDUP ULTRA
4) Add surfactant to the spray tanle
5) Add fertilizer.
6) While agitating, fill the remainder of the tank with water.
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
Drift control additives may be included to either ground or aerial applications. When a drift control agent
is used, read and carefully observe the precautionary statements and all other information appearing on
the additive label.
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for BACKDRAFT CP applications must be
drained and thoroughly cleaned with water before being used to apply other products.
When BACKDRAFT CP is used in combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for
rates, methods of application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions and precautions. Always use
in accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions and precautions. No label dosages should be
exceeded. BACKDRAFT CP cannot be mixed with any product con!"ining,a label prohibiting such
mixtures.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT apply when wind velocity is greater than 10 mph, or when spray may be carried to sensitive
crops. Sensitive crops include, but are not limited to, com, leafy vegetables and sugar beets.
GROUND APPLICATIONS
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water pef apr,. A
spray pressure of 20 to 40 psi is recommended. ' •
, , '!
To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons of water per: .a,c!~: wheu : ~tit}:ying
BACKDRAFT CP to minimum or no-till crops. Use higher gallonage for fields witH oebse vegetation or
heavy crop residues. Adjust the boom height to ensure proper coverage of weed fo!i3;Jo (accoroin6 ~o the
manufacturer's recommendation). Use only flat-fan nozzle tips for postemergence a,J~lications.
A void overlaps when spraying.

Leaflet
BACKDRAFT CP APPLICATIONS WITH A LOW VOLUME SPRAYER
BACKDRAFT CP may be applied to soybeans with a low volume (Spra-Coupe-type) sprayer. When
applying BACKDRAFT CP with a low volume sprayer, spray the weeds before they reach the maximum
size listed in this label. Adequate control of weeds is dependent upon good spray coverage of the weeds.
The sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the recommended spray volume anq pressure to ensure adequate
spray coverage of the weeds.
When applying BACKDRAFT CP with a low volume spraycr, apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of
spray solution with a nozzle pressure between 40-60 psi for optimum coverage.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated aerial equipment in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. When
applied POSTEMERGENCE, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant AND fertilizer solution are required
for optimum weed control. Apply a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v of spray solution AND
ammonium sulfate at the rate of 2.5 Ib/acre, or liquid fertilizer at the rate of I quart per acre. (See
instructions under APPLICATION INFORMATION - POSTEMERGENCE).
To avoid injury to sensitive crops from drift, aerial applicators must adhere to the following SPECIAL
AERIAL USE DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS:
Nozzle height above ground must be a maximum of 10 feet.
Nozzles must be pointed toward the rear of the aircraft. The downward angle of the nozzle
should not be greater than 20 degrees.
To minimize wing-tip vortex roll, nozzles or spray boom must not be located any closer to end of
wing or rotor than three-fourths the distance from the center of the aircraft.
Use a maximum spray pressure of 40 psi.
A buffer zone must be established between the area to be sprayed and sensitive crops.
DO NOT spray when wind velocity is greater than 5 mph. Coarse sprays (larger droplets) are less
likely to drift .
.
Applicator is responsible for any loss or damage which results from spraying BACKDRAFT CP in a
manner other than recommended in this label. In addition, applicator must follow all applicable state and
local regulations and ordinances in regard to spraying. ~
APPLICATION INFORMATION
POSTEMERGENCE
BACKDRAFT CP is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage as well as in conventional
production systems. Apply BACKDRAFf CP herbicide as an early postemergence treatment when
weeds are actively growing and before they exceed a height of 8 inches, unless otherwise, ;"uicated.
Delay application until the majority of the weeds are at the recommended growth stage. ApplIcation
timing should be based on weed size and not crop growth stage. Apply BACKDRAFT CP to CDN and
weeds that are actively growing. ' ,
A non-ionic surfactant and a nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray -solution for' np:imum
weed control activity. See the ADJUVANTS section under MIXING INSTRUCTIONS ;;"r, spt;cific
instructions. ' . : . . .
-7-
Leaflet
When BACKDRAFT CP is applied postemergence, absorption will occur through both the roots and
foliage. Susceptible weeds stop growing and either die or are not competitive with the crop.
BACKDRAFT CP not only controls many existing broadleaf and grass weeds when applied
postemergence, it also provides control of susceptible weeds that may emerge after application.
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7 - 10 days following a postemergence BACKDRAFT CP
application. This timely cultivation will enhance residual weed control, especially under dry conditions.
BACKDRAFT CP should be applied a minimum of one hOUl'-before rainfall·or overhead irrigation.
NO-T1LLIMINIMUM TILLAGE AND DOUBLE CROP SOYBEANS
BACKDRAFT CP controls existing weeds and provides residual control of most weeds when applied
early postemergence to soybeans in no-till or minimum tillage and double crop soybean production
systems. The application may be applied either before or after emergence of the crop. (Refer to the
WEEDS CONTROLLED chart for weeds controlled and recommended weed size).
The addition of PROWL 3.3EC herbicide in a tank-mixture with BACKDRAFT CP for burndown weed
control will provide season-long control of grasses and enhance control of water hemp.
For improved burndown weed control, BACKDRAFf CP may be tank-mixed with 2,4-D. Refer to the
2,4-D label for application rates and intervals between application and planting.
