Dear Ms. McMahon:
|
||
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable. This approval does not
|
||
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
|
||
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you
|
||
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c),
|
||
you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months
|
||
from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it
|
||
bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is
|
||
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide
|
||
Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product
|
||
would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40
|
||

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to fish and invertebrates. Do not appl y directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or
|
||
to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of
|
||
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several
|
||
months or more after application. Poorly drained soils and soil s with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff
|
||
that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetati ve buffer strip between areas to which the product is applied
|
||
and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and spring s will reduce the potential for contamination of water from
|
||
rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoidi ng applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48
|
||
hours. Sound erosion practices will reduce this product's contribution to surface water contamination.
|
||
|
||

|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
ASSURE II is a systemic herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by treated foliage and translocated to the roots and other growing
|
||
points of the plant. When affected, younger plant tissues become chlorotic/necrotic and eventually die, leaving treated plants
|
||
stunted and noncompetitive. In general, these symptoms are first observed within 7 to 14 days after application depending on the
|
||
grass species treated and the environmental conditions.
|
||
The degree of control and duration of the effect of ASSURE II depend upon the rate used, weed spectrum, weed size and
|
||
variability, growing conditions at and following treatment, soil moisture, precipitation, tank mixtures, and spray adjuvant used.
|
||
|
||
Conditions conducive to healthy, actively growing plants optimi ze the performance of ASSURE II. Unacceptable control may
|
||
occur if ASSURE II is applied to grasses stressed from:
|
||
x abnormal weather (excessive heat or cold, or widely fluctuating temperatures),
|
||
x hail damage,
|
||
x drought,
|
||
x water saturated soils,
|
||
x mechanical injury, or
|
||
x prior herbicide injury.
|
||
Grasses under these conditions are often less susceptible to herbicide activity. Delay application until the stress passes and
|
||
weeds and crop resume growth.
|
||
Allow the crop to fully recover and resume normal growth before applying ASSURE II to crops previously stressed or injured
|
||
from other pesticide applications.
|
||
ASSURE II is rainfast 1 hour after application.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
x Do not feed forage, hay, or straw from treated areas to livestock unless stated otherwise under the specific crop use
|
||
directions.
|
||
x Do not apply ASSURE II through any type of irrigation equipment.
|
||
x Do not contaminate any body of water.
|
||
x Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of desirable trees, vegetation, or adjacent susceptible crops may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants (refer to SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of this label).
|
||
x Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with non-target plants or areas.
|
||
Most grass crops, including wheat, barley, rye, oats, sorghum, rice, and corn are highly susceptible to ASSURE II.
|
||
x Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as spray tank residue may
|
||
damage crops other than those included in the crop rotation section.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
ASSURE II herbicide contains the acti ve ingredient quizalofop-p-ethyl and is a group 1 herbicide based on the mode of
|
||
action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Quizalofop-p-ethyl is in th e class of herbicides known as
|
||
aryloxphenoxypropionates (FOPs) within the group 1 herbicides that inhibit the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) in
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or
|
||
more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed manage ment program may include the use of multiple herbicides with
|
||
different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices.
|
||
Research has demonstrated that using full-labeled rates and di rections for use is important to delay the selection for
|
||
resistance.
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance management
|
||
program.
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes
|
||
present.
|
||
|
||
Page 5 of 26
|
||
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
x Apply full rates of ASSURE II herbicide for the most difficult to control weeds in the field at the specified time
|
||
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your AMVAC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
x Contact your AMVAC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this
|
||
MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application
|
||
rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of
|
||
actions for each target weed.
|
||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an he rbicide having a site of acti on other than group 1 and/or use
|
||
nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
x Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
x Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is
|
||
achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
x A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
x Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical:
|
||
x Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-group 1 herbicides.
|
||
x Avoid making more than two applications of ASSURE II herbicide and any ot her group 1 herbicides within a single
|
||
growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
|
||
difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultiv ation, crop rotation, cover crops and
|
||
weed- free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Mana gement (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and
|
||
genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other
|
||
detection methods, correct target pest identification, popula tion 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.
|
||
TANK MIXES
|
||
It is the pesticide applicator’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing.
|
||
Applicators must read and follow the most restrictive directions for use, precautions, and limitations of each product
|
||
in the tank mixture.
|
||
Refer to the labels of all tank mix products for information regarding use information (such as rates, timing, application
|
||
information, and sprayer cleanup) and product precautions and restrictions (especially adjuvants - ASSURE II requires the
|
||
use of an adjuvant). The most restrictive provisions apply. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix the
|
||
herbicide with ASSURE II.
|
||
AMVAC also recommends that you first consult your state expe riment station, university, or extension agent, Agricultural
|
||
dealer, or AMVAC representative as to the potential for any adverse interactions (resulting in unacceptable grass control
|
||
and/or crop injury) before using new herbicid e, insecticide and fungicide mixtures. If no information is available, limit the
|
||
initial use of ASSURE II and the new herbicide, insecticide or fungicide product to a small area.
|
||
|
||
Page 6 of 26
|
||
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing
|
||
Always conduct a jar test to evaluate physical compatibility of ASSURE II and other pesticides before applying a particular
|
||
mixture to listed crops for the first time. Use a clear glass quar t jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their rela tive
|
||
proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several time s and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the
|
||
mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible.
|
||
Application with Insecticides and Fungicides
|
||
ASSURE II may be tank mixed with postemergence fungicides, in secticides and bactericides registered for use in the specific
|
||
crop.
|
||
Application with Broadleaf Herbicides
|
||
For best results, apply ASSURE II alone or in sequenc e with broadleaf herbicide(s). Under arid or stressful environmental
|
||
conditions, tank mixtures with broadleaf herbicides may reduce control of some grass species. Activity of the postemergence
|
||
broadleaf herbicide in the tank mixture is not affected.
|
||
Split Applications with Postemergence Broadleaf Herbicides
|
||
ASSURE II applied immediately prior to or following an ap plication of a postemergence broadleaf herbicide may reduce
|
||
control of some grasses. For best results apply ASSURE II at least 1 day before or 7 days after postemergence broadleaf
|
||
herbicides.
|
||
|
||
SPOT/SMALL AREA SPRAY INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
To spot treat small areas of annuals (i.e., volunteer corn) or perennials (i.e., rhizome johnsongrass)
|
||
Use a 0.375% volume/volume (v/v) solution of ASSURE II and water.

or small area treatment.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond the maximum size at application, or
|
||
weeds that emerge after an application of ASSURE II.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation up to 7 days before the postemergence application of ASSURE II may decrease weed control by pruning weed roots,
|
||
placing the weeds under stress, or covering the weeds with soil and preventing coverage by ASSURE II .
|
||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7 - 14 days after a postemergence application of ASSURE II.
|
||
|
||
Agricultural Uses
|
||
ASSURE II herbicide is a selective herbic ide that controls annual and perennial grasses in canola, carinata, crambe, cotton
|
||
(cottonseed subgroup 20C), crops grown for seed, eucalyptus, d ry beans (including Chickpea), dry and succulent peas, flax
|
||
(flaxseed), fruit, pome crop group 11-10 (except New York state), fruit, small vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit crop
|
||
subgroup 13-07F (except New York state), fruit, stone crop gr oup 12-12 (except New York state), hybrid poplar plantings,
|
||
lentils, mint (spearmint and peppermint), pennycress, pinea pple, rapeseed subgroup 20A (inc ludes borage, canola, crambe,
|
||
gold of pleasure [camelina], cuphea, echium, Hare's ear mustard, oil radish, poppy seed, rapeseed, sesame, sweet rocket,
|
||
cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these), ryegrass grown for seed, snap beans, INZEN™ A II grain sorghum, soybeans,
|
||
sugarbeets, sunflower (subgroup 20B), Enlist™ field corn and non-crop areas. ASSURE® II is also registered for control of annual
|
||
and perennial grasses in alfalfa, onion, carrot, garlic, Swiss chard, spinach, radish, Chinese cabbage, and red beets grown
|
||
specifically under contract as non-food/non feed crops for seed production only.
|
||
|
||
Page 7 of 26
|
||
|
||
ASSURE II does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds. ASSURE II controls the grasses listed in the “Weeds Controlled and rate
|
||
Selection” chart when applied at specified rates and timings. ASSURE II will control emerged grasses. Subsequent flushes of
|
||
grasses require additional treatment. See "use restrictions" portion of the label before using. Follow all use directions and
|
||
restrictions listed for the specific crop.
|
||
|
||
Non-Agricultural Uses
|
||
Non-Crop Areas
|
||
ASSURE II is registered for postemergence control of certain grasses on non-crop sites including fence rows, roadsides and
|
||
equipment storage areas.
|
||
x Apply by ground application equipment only.
|
||
x DO NOT apply by aerial application.
|
||
x For paved areas, apply as spot/small area treatments only (see Spot/Small Area Spray instructions section).
|
||
x Make a single application of ASSURE II at a rate of 12 to 16 fl oz/A (0.083 - 0.11 lb ai/A) to actively growing grasses.
|
||
Non-Crop Areas - to aid in establishment of Wildflowers
|
||
x Since ASSURE II controls many grasses but not most broadleaf plants, it may be used to enhance establishment and
|
||
growth of certain broadleaf plants on non-crop sites (that is , plants identified as “wildflowers” such as indian blanket,
|
||
cone flowers, bachelor button, dwarf co rnflower, coreopsis, white yarrow, oxey e daisy, dames-rocket, blue flax,
|
||
evening primrose, blackeyed-susan, marigold, impatiens, bluebonnet, Indian paintbrush, verbena, gaillardia,
|
||
chrysanthemum, catchfly and scarlet pimpernel).
|
||
x Make a single application of ASSURE II at a rate of 5 to 12 fl oz/A (0.034 - 0.083 lb ai/A). Refer to the ‘’ Weeds
|
||
Controlled and Rate Selection’’ table for specific application rates. Do not apply more than 12 fl oz/A (0.083 lb ai/A)
|
||
per year.
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
|
||
|
||
Sequential Applications
|
||
Do not exceed the maximum use rates listed under the directions for each specific crop.
|
||
Annual Grasses
|
||
In the event of a subsequent flush of grass, or regrowth of pr eviously treated grass occurs, a second application of ASSURE II
|
||
may be applied unless stated otherwise. Select the appropriat e rate for the grassy weed from the “Weeds Controlled - rate
|
||
selection” chart.
|
||
Perennial Grasses
|
||
If perennial grasses regrow, reapply ASSURE II at 6-7 fl oz/A of product, unless stated otherwise. Do not exceed the
|
||
maximum use rates listed under each crop.
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
Applications of ASSURE II must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonioni c surfactant. Consult local AMVAC fact
|
||
sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using ot her adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed wit h
|
||
ASSURE II to increase the weed spectrum, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain
|
||
only EPA-exempt ingredients.
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC)
|
||
x Petroleum-based crop oil concentrates are the most effective adjuvant type with ASSURE II.
|
||
x Apply petroleum-based crop oi l concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid
|
||
conditions. Note – In soybean and sunflower, up to 2% v/v may be used based on local recommendations.
|
||
x Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% phytobland, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least
|
||
15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
x For aerial application apply 0.5% v/v (2 quarts product per 100 gallons spray solution).
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
x Apply at 0.25 % v/v (1 quart of product per 100 gallons spray solution).
|
||
Crop and Non-Crop Uses
|
||
Apply ASSURE II to young, actively growing grasses according to th e rate chart that follows. If a field is to be irrigated, app ly
|
||
ASSURE II after the irrigation. Applications made to grasses that are larger than the sizes listed in the rate charts or to
|
||
grasses under stress may result in unsatisfactory control.
|
||
|
||
Page 8 of 26
|
||
x Surfactant products must contain at least 80% nonionic surfactant.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
x An ammonium nitrogen fertilizer may be added to the spra y mixture, in addition to crop oil concentrate or nonionic
|
||
surfactant, but is not required to optimize performance of this product.
|
||
x Use 2 quart/A of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/A of a spray-grade
|
||
ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/A UAN or 4 lb/A AMS under arid conditions.
|
||
x Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
x Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
x In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality
|
||
and have been evaluated and approved by AMVAC Product Development.

1Avoid using Assure II as the primary form of weed control on johnsongrass ( Sorghum halepense ) and shattercane
|
||
(Sorghum bicolor) in INZEN A II grain sorghum. The use of a second MOA or manual removal is strongly encouraged on
|

Specific Weed Problems
|
||
Volunteer Glyphosate-Resistant Corn
|
||
ASSURE II may be used for control of volunteer glyphosate resist ant corn in other glyphosate resistant crops. For control of
|
||
other weeds, it may be tank mixed with glyphosate as follows:
|
||
x Apply ASSURE II at a rate of 4 fl oz/A for up to 12 inch volunteer corn, 5 fl oz/A for 12- 18 inch corn and 8 fl oz/A
|
||
ASSURE II for 18-30 inch corn, tank mixed with a labeled rate of glyphosate.
|
||
x A nonionic surfactant or petroleum based crop oil concentrate adjuvant must be included. Refer to the Spray
|
||
Adjuvants section in this label for adjuvant preference, rates, and additional use information.
|
||
Rhizome Johnsongrass - South East States
|
||
For control of rhizome johnsongrass in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Loui siana, Maryland, Mississippi,
|
||
Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, a reduced rate of ASSURE II may be used if applied in a sequential application
|
||
program as follows:
|
||
1. Apply ASSURE II at 5 fl oz/A when johnsongrass is 10-24 inches tall.
|
||
2. Apply ASSURE II a second time at 5 fl oz/A wh en johnsongrass regrowth is 6-10 inches tall.
|
||
Do not apply ASSURE II in a tank mix with postemergence broadleaf herbicides when using this reduced rate, sequential
|
||
application program. Do not exceed the ma ximum specified rate/acre/season for the crop that is going to be planted when
|
||
additional applications are made to control rhizome johnsongrass.
|
||
Rhizome Johnsongrass
|
||
ASSURE II herbicide will provide control of weeds in fallow, including emerged rhizome and seedling Johnsongrass. Note
|
||
that, when applied at specified rates and timings to control grass weeds, ASSURE II herbicide will provide control of emerged
|
||
grasses only. Subsequent flushes of grasses require additional treatment.
|
||
Apply ASSURE II herbicide for control of seedling and rhizome Johnsongrass at the range indicated.
|
||
x Apply ASSURE II at 8 fl oz/A when seedling johnsongrass is 2 - 6 inches tall.
|
||
x Apply ASSURE II at 12 fl oz/A when rhizome johnsongrass is 12-16 inches tall.
|
||
x If rhizome Johnsongrass regrows, reapply ASSURE II at 8 fl oz/A when Johnsongrass regrowth is 6-10 inches in height.
|
||
Tank mixes of ASSURE II with postemergence broadleaf herbicides may result in reduced grass control. If grass control is
|
||
reduced, an additional application of ASSURE II ma y be required after grass plants begin regrowth.

may be obtained from your seed supplier.
|
||
In-Field Buffer:
|
||
The applicator must always maintain a 36-foot, downwind buffer between the last treated row and the nearest downwind
|
||
field edge (in the direction the wind is blowing).The following areas may be included in the buffer distance calculation when
|
||
directly adjacent to the treated field edge(s):
|
||
x Roads, paved or gravel surfaces.
|
||
x Planted agricultural fields (except crops listed in the "Susceptible plants" section).
|
||
x Agricultural fields that have been prepared for planting.
|
||
x Areas covered by the footprint of a building, shadehouse, g reenhouse, silo, feed crib, or other man-made structure
|
||
with walls and/or a roof.
|
||
To maintain the required downwind buffer zone:
|
||
x Measure the wind direction prior to the start of any swath that is within 36 feet of a sensitive area.
|
||
x No application swath can be initiated in or into an area that is within 36 feet of a sensitive area if the wind direction is
|
||
towards the sensitive area.
|
||
Susceptible Plants:
|
||
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or
|
||
crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Do not allow contact of herbicide with foliage, green stems,
|
||
exposed non-woody roots of crops, desirable plants; including tr ees, because severe injury or destruction may result. Small
|
||
amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure suscep tible plants. Most grass crops, including wheat, barley, rye,
|
||
oats, sorghum, rice, and non - Enlist corn are highly sens itive to ASSURE II. Before making an application, please refer to
|
||
your state’s sensitive crop registry (if available) to identify any commercial specialty or certified organic crops that may be
|
||
located nearby.
|
||
Resistance Management for Enlist Field Corn:
|
||
The following steps are provided to aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product:
|
||
x Scout field before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes
|
||
present.
|
||
x Apply the maximum specified labeled use rate of this product for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the
|
||
specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout field after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in weed species.
|
||
x Report any incident of non-performance of this product on a targeted weed species to your AMVAC retailer,
|
||
representative, or call 1-888-462-6822
|
||
x If resistance is suspected in targeted weed species, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a mechanism of
|
||
action other than group 1 and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of
|
||
preventing further seed production. Report suspected resistance to your AMVAC retailer, representative,
|
||
or call 1-888-462-6822.
|
||
Suspected Resistance: Indicators of suspected herbicide resistance incl ude (1) failure to control a weed species normally
|
||
controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of
|
||
uncontrolled plants of a particular weed species; and (3) su rviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same
|
||
species. Likely resistant weeds are assumed to be present if any of these criteria are met.
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide-resistance management practices as practicable:
|
||
x Use a broad-spectrum, soil-applied herbicide with other mechanisms of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative mechanisms of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-group 1 herbicides.
|
||
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops, and
|
||
weed- free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
|
||
Page 16 of 26
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
x Avoid using any other group 1 herbicides within a sing le growing season unless in conjunction with another
|
||
mechanism- of-action herbicide with overlapping spectrum.
|
||
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extens ion agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to group 1
|
||
herbicides have been found in your regions. If resistant biotyp es of target weeds have been reported, use the application
|
||
rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective mechanisms of
|
||
action for each target weed.
|
||
Tank Mixing:
|
||
x For use on Enlist corn, do not tank mix this product with an y other pesticide product(s) without first consulting the
|
||
website at www.EnlistTankMix.com/ASSUREII. This website contains a list of pesticide active ingredients that are
|
||
currently prohibited from tank mixing with this product. When tank mixing this product, only use pesticide product(s)
|
||

|
||
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
|
||
See SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section for additional information and precautions.
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Broadcast Application
|
||
x When applying by ground, use spray nozzles that will deliv er medium or larger spray droplets as defined in the
|
||
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engin eers (ASABE) standard ANSI/ASAE S572.1 (March 2009). (See
|
||
Spray Drift Management section for additional information).
|
||
x Use flat fan or hollow cone nozzles at 25-60 psi.
|
||
x Do not use flood, rain drop, whirl chamber, or any other nozzle types that produce coarse, large spray droplets. In
|
||
addition, do not use controlled droplet applicator (CDA) type nozzles as poor weed control or excessive spray drift
|
||
may result.
|
||
x Use a minimum of 10 gal/A of water in non-arid areas.
|
||
x Use a minimum of 15 gal/A of water in arid areas.
|
||
x For all crops except pineapple: Do not exceed 40 gal of wate r per acre. Refer to pineapple section for specified spray
|
||
water volumes.
|
||
x Increase spray volume and pressure as weed or crop density and size increase.
|
||
Band Application
|
||
x Because band application equipment sprays a narrower ar ea than broadcast application equipment, calibrate
|
||
equipment to use proportionately less spray solution.
|
||
x To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band applicator not to exceed the labeled rate.
|
||
x Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for nozzle type, nozzle orientation, distance of the nozzles from the
|
||
crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration, and spray pressure.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
x Use spray nozzles that will deliver coarse or larger spray drop lets as defined in the American Society of Agricultural
|
||
and Biological Engineers (ASABE) standard ANSI/ASAE S572.1 (March 2009). (See Spray Drift Management section for
|
||
additional information).
|
||
x Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide op timum spray distribution and maximum coverage.
|
||
x Use a minimum of 3 gal of water per acre in non-arid areas.
|
||
x Use a minimum of 5 gal of water per acre in arid areas.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of ASSURE II. If ASSURE II and a tank mix partner are to be applied
|
||
together, consult the tank mix partner label for information on which should be added first (normally granules and
|
||
powders are added first).
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the ASSURE II is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the ASSURE II is fully disp ersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add the required volume of spray additives, always add these to the spray tank last.
|
||
6. Apply ASSURE II spray mixture within a reasonable period of time of mixing to avoid product degradation (24 to 48
|
||
hrs). If the spray mixture stands for any period of time, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
The spray equipment must be cleaned before ASSURE II is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of
|
||
the previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in After Spraying ASSURE II. It i s
|
||
very important that any buildup of dried pesticide deposits wh ich have accumulated in the application equipment be
|
||
removed prior to spraying ASSURE II. Steam-cleaning spray tanks to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits of
|
||
previously applied products will help prevent accidental crop injury.
|
||
After Multiple Loads of ASSURE II herbicide
|
||
At the end of each day after multiple loads of ASSURE II herbic ide are applied, rinse the interi or of the tank with fresh water
|
||
and then partially fill to flush boom and hoses. This will preven t the buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumulate
|
||
in the application equipment.

|
||
After Spraying ASSUREയIIയand Before Spraying Susceptible Crops and Crops Other Than Those Listed in the Crop
|
||
Rotation Section
|
||
|
||
|
||
x Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any visible
|
||
deposits.
|
||
x 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 mi n. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the
|
||
cleaning solution, and then drain the tank.
|
||
x Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
|
||
x Repeat step 2.
|
||
x Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
x If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do
|
||
not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal
|
||
instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or an AMVAC-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout
|
||
procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner in structions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or AMVAC
|
||
representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
x CAUTION: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia as dangerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an
|
||
enclosed area.
|
||
x Steam-cleaning spray tanks is recommended prior to pe rforming the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the
|
||
removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
x When ASSURE II is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures should be examined and the most
|
||
rigorous procedure should be followed.
|
||
x In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products should be
|
||
followed as per the individual labels.
|
||
x Where routine spraying practices include shared equipm ent frequently being switched between applications of
|
||
ASSURE II and applications of other pesticides to ASSURE II-sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is
|
||
recommended that a sprayer be dedicated to ASSURE II to further reduce the chance of crop injury.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is
|
||
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply coar se or larger spray droplets as defined by the ASABE standard
|
||
ANSI/ASAE S572.1 (March 2009). The best drift management strate gy is to apply the largest dr oplets 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 IMPROPER LY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS!
|
||
See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
|
||
Controlling droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. use the highest practical
|
||
spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
Pressure - use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
Spray Nozzle - use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce
|
||
drift.
|
||
Controlling droplet Size - aircraft
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately following
|
||
applications of ASSURE II as follows:
|
||
|
||
Page 20 of 26
|
||
Number of Nozzles - using the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage will
|
||
produce a coarser droplet spectrum.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation - orienting nozzles in a manner that minimizes the effects of air shear will produce the coarsest droplet
|
||
spectra. For some nozzles such as solid stream, pointing the no zzles straight back parallel to the airstream will produce a
|
||
coarser droplet spectrum than other orientations.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with sw irl plate removed) or other low drift nozzles produce the
|
||
coarsest droplet spectra.
|
||
Pressure - Selecting the pressure that produces the coarsest droplet spectrum for a particular nozzle and airspeed reduces
|
||
spray drift potential. For some nozzle types such as solid st reams, lower pressures can produce finer droplet spectra and
|
||
increase drift potential.
|
||
Boom Length (Aircraft) and Application Height
|
||
x Boom Length (aircraft) - using shorter booms decreases drift potential. Boom lengths are expressed as a percentage
|
||
of an aircraft’s wingspan or a helicopter’s rotor blad e diameter. Shorter boom length and proper positioning can
|
||
minimize drift caused by wingtip or rotor vortices.
|
||
x Application Height (aircraft) - Applications made at the lowest height that are consistent with pest control
|
||
objectives and the safe operation of the airc raft will reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
x Application Height (ground) - Applications made at the lowest height cons istent with pest control objectives, and
|
||
that allow the applicator to keep the boom level with the a pplication site and minimize bounce, will reduce the
|
||
exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind, and reduce spray drift potential.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Apply when wind speeds are less than 15 mph. The wind speed range for optimum performance is between 3 and 10 mph. At
|
||
wind speeds less than 3 mph temperature inversions may exist, and at wind speeds above 10 mph spray patterns may be
|
||
compromised. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind
|
||
speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
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
|
||
Setting up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for droplet evaporation can reduce spray drift potential.
|
||
Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
|
||
Temperature inversions
|
||
Do not apply during surface temperature inversions. Drift potent ial is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface
|
||
temperature 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. Th ey begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into
|
||
the morning. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inve rsion in humid areas. Inversions may also be identified by
|
||
producing smoke and observing its behavior. Smoke that remains cl ose to the ground, or moves laterally in a concentrated
|
||
cloud under low wind conditions indicates a surface inversion. 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 res ponsibility of the applicator to
|
||
verify that the shields are minimizing drift potential and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies
|
||
of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the effect of
|
||
spray drift.
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift po tential. When a drift control additive is used, read and
|
||
carefully observe cautionary statements and a ll other information on the additive’s labe l. If using an additive that increases
|
||
viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipm ent will function properly with a viscous spray solution.
|
||
Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Chemical producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).
|
||
|
||
Page 21 of 26
|
||
Upwind Swath Displacement
|
||
When applications are made with a crossw ind the swath will be displaced downwind. An adjustment for swath displacement
|
||
is made on the downwind edge of the application site by shifting the path of the application equipment upwind.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT RESTRICTIONS
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations they must be observed.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
x When applying by air, use spray nozzles that will deliver co arse or larger spray droplets as defined in the American
|
||
Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) standard ANSI/ASAE S572.1 (March 2009).
|
||
x The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 80% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
x Applications with wind speeds greater than 15 miles per hour are prohibited.
|
||
x Applications into temperature inversions are prohibited.
|
||
x Spray must be released at the lowest height consistent with pest control objectives and flight safety.
|
||
x Applicators must consider the effects of nozzle orientation and flight speed when determining droplet size spectrum.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATIONS
|
||
x When applying by ground, use spray nozzles that will deliver medium coarse or larger spray droplets as defined in the
|
||
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) standard ANSI/ASAE S572.1 (March 2009).
|
||
x Applications with wind speeds greater than 15 miles per hour are prohibited.
|
||
x Applications into temperature inversions are prohibited.
|
||
x Apply spray at the lowest height that is consistent with pest control objectives.
