PRODUCT INFORMATION Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is intended for selective post-emergence control o f certain listed broadleaf weeds and sedges in beans, corn, peanuts, peas, peppermint, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and spearmint. Omni Brand Bentazon 4 does not control grasses.

Mode of Action Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is effective mainly through contact action; therefore, listed weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray.

Crop Tolerance All labeled crops are tolerant to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 . Leaf speckling or bronzing may occur, but plants generally outgrow this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced.

Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a s trong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner accor ding to the manufacturer's directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Omni Brand Bentazon 4 contains bentazon and is classified in the benzothi adiazinone chemical class as a Group 6 herbicide, photosynthesis inhibitor at photosystem II site B.

Herbicide resistance is defined as the inherited ab ility of a plant to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose of herbicide normally lethal to the wild type. In a plant, resistance may be naturally occurring or induced by such techniques as genetic engineering or selection of variants produced by tissue culture or mutagenesis. Any weed population may contain or develop plants that are naturally resistant to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and other Group 6 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 6 herbicides may event ually dominate the weed population if Group 6 herbi cides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted spec ies. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Omni Brand Bentazon 4 or other Group 6 herbicides.

To delay herbicide resistance, consider the below best practices for resistance management:  Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as wee d-free as possible.  To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivati on, biological management practices, and crop rotation.  Fields with difficult to control weeds should be r otated to crops that allow the use of herbicides wi th alternative mechanisms of action or different management practices.  To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes t o produce seeds, roots or tubers. Manage weed seeds at harvest

Omni Brand Omni Brand Bentazon 4 (5905-658) 092822 STK 4

and post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed s eed-bank.  Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement o f weed seed or vegetative propagules. Thoroughly cl ean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields.  Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by manag ing field borders.  Identify weeds present in the field through scouti ng and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control program should consider all of the weeds present.  Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanism s of action.  Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rat e needed to control the most difficult weed in the field.  Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with t he same mechanism of action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.  If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes wit h an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes.  Monitor treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.  Scout field(s) before and after application.  Report lack of performance to Helena Agri-Enterpri ses, LLC or their representative at (863) 682-6698.

Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include : (1) failure to control a weed species normally co ntrolled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achie ved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non -controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.

Contact your local sales representative, extension agent, or certified crop advisors to find out if su spected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resi stant 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 mechanisms of action for each target weed.

SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications  When applying aerially to crops, do not release sp ray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop c anopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.  Applicators are required to select nozzles that de liver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.3.  When applying to crops via aerial application equi pment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.  When applying to crops via aerial application equi pment, applicators must use ½ swath displacement up wind at the downwind edge of the field.  Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.  Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.  Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Ground Boom Applications  When using ground application equipment, apply wit h nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the groun d or crop canopy.  Applicators are required to select nozzles that de liver medium or coarser spray droplets in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.3.  Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.  Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Sensitive Species Bentazon can affect non-target plant species outside the treatment area. To limit adverse effects to non-target plants, the applicator must avoid making applications when wind can facilitate off-site movement of bentazon in the direction of areas such as forested areas, riparian areas, wet lands, and areas that serve as habitat for desirable and protected animal species.

DO NOT apply by air if sensitive crop species (such as cotton, sugar beets, sun flowers, or okra) are within 200 feet downwind.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES The interaction of many equipment and weather-relat ed factors determines the potential for spray drift . The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.

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 a nd control. The presence of sensitive species nearb y, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an app licator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYI NG LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTEN TIAL, BUT WILL NOT PRE VENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT ALCONDI TIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity , and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.

Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom  Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the h ighest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.  Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommend ed for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER F LOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.  Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed f or the intended application. With most nozzle type s, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.

Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft  Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozz les with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.  Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstr eam will produce larger droplets than other orientations. AVOIDING S PRAY DRJFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.  Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc a nd core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.  Boom Length - Longer booms increase drift potentia l. Therefore a shorter boom length is recommended.  Application Height - Application more than 10 ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.

BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (i f specified) which provides uniform coverage reduce s the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to 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 APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to red uce effects of evaporation.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature invers ion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air m ixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground an d move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperatu re 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 contin ue into the morning. Their presence can be indicate d 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 latera lly in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditi ons) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidl y dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibi lity of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Applications can be made to actively growing listed weeds as broadcast, band, or spot spray applicatio ns at the rates and growth stages listed in the weed tables. The most e ffective control will result from making post-emerg ence applications of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 early, when weeds are small. Early application produces the most beneficial effect on weed control (exceptions: yellow nutsedge and Canada thistle), a llows use of the lower rate (depending on weed spec ies), and makes thorough spray coverage easier to obtain. Delaying application permits listed weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent adequate control. DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from target area or when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Apply specified rates of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 to actively growing listed weeds before they reach the maximum sizes listed in Table 1. Application Rates for Specific Weed Growth Stages For All Crops Except Rice . For the specified use rates of Omni Brand Bentazon 4 in rice, refer to Table 3. Application Rates for Rice - Flooded Field s and Table 4. Application Rates for Rice - Drained Fields in Crop-Specific Information section.

Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth beca use listed weeds growing under drought conditions usually are not satisfactorily controlled.

Spray Coverage Listed weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage.

Cultivation DO NOT cultivate within 5 days before applying Omni Brand Bentazon 4 or 7 days after application. Timely cultivation after 7 days may help provide season-long control.

Application Rates for Rice - Flooded Fields and Table 4. Application Rates for Rice - Drained Fields in Crop-Specific Information section. **Refer to Crop-Specific Information for Crop-Specific Restrictions and Limitations.

ADDITIVES To achieve consistent listed weed control, one of t he following additives is needed: crop oil concentr ate, urea ammonium nitrate, or ammonium sulfate. Additives may cause s ome leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vi gor is not reduced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relat ive humidity and temperature are high. See Table 2. Additive Rate Per Acre for additive rates.

Oil Concentrate A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate may be added to the spray tank for certain weed problems. The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum oil or vegetable oil base and mu st meet all of the following criteria:  be nonphytotoxic,  contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,  provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and  be successful in local experience.

The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrate s should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactor y than unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Application Mixing Information .

Adding an oil concentrate may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and crop vigor is not red uced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high. Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn, so refer to your supplier for information concerning successful local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate.

Oil Concentrate + Nitrogen Solution A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate (as referred to above) plus a nitrogen solution (UAN or AMS) can be added to the spray tank with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 .

Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) Commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution, UAN may be added in place of other spray additives to improve control of cocklebur, devils claw, Pennsylvania sma rtweed, velvetleaf, Venice mallow, wild mustard, an d wild sunflower. Omni Brand Bentazon 4 plus a nitrogen solution will not provide adequate control of common ragweed and common lambsquarters. If these weeds or other weeds requir ing oil concentrate are present in addition to velv etleaf, then oil concentrate should also be used.

Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) When used, add 3 quarts of liquid AMS (8-8-0 analys is) or 2.5 pounds of granular AMS. Use only fine fe ed-grade or spray- grade AMS because inferior grades of AMS DO NOT dissolve adequately and can plug spray nozzles. He lena Agri- Enterprises, LLC does not recommend applying AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per acre because of potential problems with precipitation in reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been demonstrated to be successful in local experience.

Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing Omni Brand Bentazon 4 with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides ), additives, or fertilizers. Helena Agri-Enterpris es, LLC does not recommend using tank mixes other than those listed on Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC labeling. Local agricultural authorities may be a source of information when using other than Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC-recommended tank mixes.

Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing additives and/or other pesticides, always perform a compatibility jar test.

For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.

Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mix ing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 tea spoon for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component add itions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solutio n for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not c ompatible, repeat the compatibility test with the a ddition of a suitable agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compati ble agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank.

Mixing Order When mixing additives and/or other pesticides in a spray tank, add the products to be used in the following sequence:

1. Water. Begin by agitating thoroughly clean spray tank three-quarters full of clean water.
2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughou t mixing and application.
3. Products in PVA bags. Place any product containe d in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water- soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
4. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowable s, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or su spo-emulsions). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
5. Water-soluble products (such as Omni Brand Bentazon 4 ). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly afte r the component has been added.
6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentra te when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
7. Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when applicable). If an inductor is used, rinse it thor oughly after the component has been added.
8. Remaining quantity of water.

Addition of Oil Concentrate A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate must be added to th e spray tank for optimum weed control. DO NOT apply oil concentrate in tank mix with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 over the top of ornamentals. The oil concentrate m ust contain either a petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil base [such as methylated seed oil (MSO) or crop oil concentrate (COC)] and must meet all the following criteria: • Nonphytotoxic, • Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, • Provide good mixing quality in the jar test (see f ollowing), and • Successful in local experience. The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils are more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. To determine the suitability of oil concentrates with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 , conduct the following jar test.

Jar Test to Estimate Oil Concentrate Suitability Water Supply - Use only water from the intended source at the source temperature. Water Spray Volume - For a spray volume of 1 gallon per 1,000 sq. ft., use 6-2/3 cups (1,600 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust proportionately. Herbicide and oil concentrate - Add 2 teaspoons each of herbicide and oil concen trate for each 0.75 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. of label rate

Add components in the following sequence, gently mixing between a dditions:

1. Omni Brand Bentazon 4
2. Tank mix product; if used
3. Oil concentrate

Cap jar, invert 10 cycles, let stand for 15 minutes.

Evaluate - An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform. T he suitability of the oil concentrate is questionab le if any of the following are observed:  Free oil at the surface - Film or globules  Flocculation - Fine particles which may be suspended in the liq uid or found as a precipitated layer at the bottom of the jar.  Clabbering - Thickening texture (coagulated) resembling yogur t or a curd-like texture as with cottage cheese.

Oil Concentrate Rate Apply oil concentrate at 0.75 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. or 2 pt. /A.

Adding oil concentrate to Omni Brand Bentazon 4 may cause a slight leaf burn on desired plants (tu rfgrass, ornamentals, etc.) when relative humidity and temperature are hi gh. Refer to your Omni Brand Bentazon 4 supplier for information on successful local experience before purchasing oil concentrate.

DO NOT apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 plus oil concentrate with pesticides whose labels caution against their use with oil adjuvants.

Weeds Controlled Apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 early post-emergence to actively growing weeds before they reach the maximum size listed in Table 6. Early application to newly emerged or s mall weeds will provide the most effective weed con trol. Delaying application will allow weeds to continue growth bey ond the maximum size stated and will result in inad equate control. The exceptions are yellow nutsedge and Canada thistle.

Use Information

Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is a post emergence herbicide for selective contro l of listed broadleaf weeds, annual sedges, and yellow nutsedge in the following use sites:  Established turfgrass  Ornamentals

Omni Brand Bentazon 4 does not control grasses. Omni Brand Bentazon 4 is effective mainly through contact activity; therefore, all listed target weeds must be thorough ly covered with spray. Large weed leaf canopies she lter smaller weeds and prevent adequate spray coverage.

Application Information

Sprayer Equipment Apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 with handheld pump-up and knapsack sprayers, or ho se-end type sprayers. Clean the sprayer thoroughly before applying Omni Brand Bentazon 4 , particularly if the herbicide previously used has the potential to injure turfgrass or ornamentals.

Apply Omni Brand Bentazon 4 with a minimum water volume of 1 gallon per 1,000 sq. ft. and a minimum spray pressure of 40 psi (measured at the boom, not at the pump or in the line).

Application Mixing Instructions Fill a thoroughly clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 full of clean water. Add Omni Brand Bentazon 4 and shake or stir the spray solution to mix thoroughly. Add the remaining volum e of water and shake or stir the spray solution to mix thoroughly. Mix only enough spray solution for one use. Use a fresh spray mixture for each application.

Addition of Oil Concentrate A nonphytotoxic oil concentrate must be added to th e spray tank for optimum weed control. DO NOT apply oil concentrate in tank mix with Omni Brand Bentazon 4 over the top of ornamentals. The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum- oil or vegetable-oil base and must meet all the following criteria: • Nonphytotoxic, • Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients, • Provide good mixing quality in the jar test (see f ollowing), and • Successful in local experience.

The exact composition of suitable products will var y; however, petroleum-oil or vegetable-oil concentr ates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils are more satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. Application Mixing Instructions with Oil Concentrat e Fill a thoroughly clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 full with clean water.
