Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push.

|
IMPORTANT CROP SAFETY INFORMATION
|
|
READ BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
|
|
LIBERTY*^ HERBICIDE may be applied as a burndown treatment prior to planting or prior to emergence of any conventional or
|
|
transgenic variety of canola, sweet corn, corn, cotton, olive, rice, soybean or sugar beet.
|
|
Post emergence row crop applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be made only to crops tolerant to the active ingredient in this
|
|
product. Bayer CropScience does not warrant the use of this product on crops other than those designated as LibertyLink® to safely
|
|
withstand the application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE.
|
|
The basis of selectivity of LIBERTY HERBICIDE in crops is the presence of a gene in LibertyLink crops which results in a plant that is
|
|
tolerant to the active ingredient of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Crops not containing this gene will not be tolerant to LIBERTY HERBICIDE
|
|
and severe crop injury and/or death may occur. Do not allow spray to contact foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetation other than
|
|
crops tolerant to the active ingredient in this product.
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied to conventional or other transgenic cotton not tolerant to the active ingredient in LIBERTY
|
|
HERBICIDE using a hooded sprayer.
|
|
Applications to trees, vines, and berries should avoid contact of LIBERTY HERBICIDE solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark,
|
|
stems, or foliage, as injury may occur to trees, berries, and vines. Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark should be sprayed
|
|
unless protected from spray contact by nonporous wraps, grow tubes, or waxed containers. Contact of LIBERTY HERBICIDE with parts
|
|
of trees, berries, or vines other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage.
|
|
|
|
INORMATIONLIBERTY HERBICIDE is a water-soluble herbicide for application as a foliar spray for the control of a broad spectrum of emerged
|
|
annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds in LibertyLink® canola, LibertyLink® corn, LibertyLink® cotton, and LibertyLink®
|
|
soybean, and in trees, vines, and berries. LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied for potato vine desiccation. LIBERTY HERBICIDE
|
|
may also be applied as a broadcast burndown application before planting or prior to emergence of any conventional or transgenic
|
|
variety of canola, sweet corn, corn, cotton, olive, rice, soybean, or sugar beet.
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE is only foliar-active with little or no activity in soil. Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE to actively growing weeds as described in the Weed Control Recommendations for Row Crops section to
|
|
get maximum weed control. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. Necrosis of leaves and
|
|
young shoots occur within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions.
|
|
• LIBERTY HERBICIDE is rainfast four (4) hours after application to most weed species; therefore, rainfall within four (4) hours
|
|
may necessitate retreatment or may result in reduced weed control.
|
|
• Applications should be made between dawn and 2 hours before sunset to avoid the possibility of reduced lambsquarters and
|
|
velvetleaf control.
|
|
• Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service or Bayer CropScience Representative for guidelines on the optimum
|
|
application timing for LIBERTY HERBICIDE in your region.
|
|
• Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are
|
|
under stress due to environmental conditions such as drought, cool temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness.
|
|
• To maximize weed control, do not cultivate from 5 days before an application to 7 days after an application.
|
|
|
|

|
Integrated Weed Management
|
|
The active ingredient in LIBERTY HERBICIDE is glufosinate-ammonium, which is a glutamine synthetase inhibitor (Group 10).
|
|
Integrated weed management guidelines promote an economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially acceptable weed
|
|
control program regardless of the herbicide(s) used. The highlights of a successful integrated weed management include:
|
|
1. Correctly identify weeds and look for trouble areas within field to identify resistance indicators.
|
|
2. Rotate crops.
|
|
3. Start the growing season with clean fields.
|
|
4. Rotate herbicide modes of action by using multiple modes of action during the growing season and apply no more than two
|
|
applications of a single herbicide mode of action to the same field in a two-year period. One method to accomplish this is to
|
|
rotate herbicide tolerant trait systems.
|
|
5. Apply listed rates of herbicides to actively growing weeds at the correct time with the right application techniques.
|
|
6. Control any weeds that may have escaped the herbicide application.
|
|
7. Thoroughly clean field equipment between fields.
|
|
Contact your local agronomic advisor for more specific information on integrated weed management for your area.
|
|
WEED CONTROL FOR ROW CROPS
|
|
Rates in fl oz of formulated product per acre for the control of weeds at selected heights are shown in the weed control tables. In weed
|
|
populations with mixed species, apply at a rate needed for the species that requires the highest rate.

AND'XING PRQGEDURES
|
|
Do not use flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, or air-assisted spray equipment. Uniform, thorough •
|
|
spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control.
|
|
Ground application: Refer to the Rate Tables for proper application rates. DO NOT apply when winds are gusty, or when conditions
|
|
will favor movement of spray particles off the desired spray target. To avoid drift and insure consistent weed control, apply LIBERTY
|
|
HERBICIDE with the spray boom as low as possible while maintaining a uniform spray pattern. LIBERTY HERBICIDE should be
|
|
applied broadcast in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre using a minimum spray pressure of 40 psi and a maximum ground
|
|
speed of 10 mph. The use of 80 degree or 110 degree flat fan nozzles is highly recommended for optimum spray coverage and canopy
|
|
penetration. Application of the spray at a 45-degree angle forward will result in better spray coverage. Under dense weed/crop
|
|
canopies, a broadcast rate of 15-20 gallons of water per acre should be used so that thorough spray coverage will be
|
|
obtained. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles. Boom height should be based on nozzle manufacturer recommendations. See the Spray Drift
|
|
Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE.
|
|
Aerial Application: Poor coverage will result in reduced weed control. For optimal weed control, apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE in a
|
|
minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE using nozzles and pressures that generate MEDIUM (about 300 to 400
|
|
microns) spray droplets category,as reported by the nozzle manufacturer and in accordance to ASABE S 572 based upon the selected
|
|
air speed. Do not use nozzles and pressures that result in COARSE sprays. FINE sprays should also be avoided to minimize spray drift
|
|
risk. See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for additional information on proper application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE.
|
|
COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
|
If LIBERTY HERBICIDE is to be mixed with pesticide products not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture
|
|
prior to mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray
|
|
volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows:
|
|
1. Place 1.0 pint of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1-quart jar.
|
|
2. For each pound of a dry tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to the jar.
|
|
3. For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
|
|
4. For each 16 fl oz of LIBERTY HERBICIDE to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to the jar.
|
|
5. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten. Invert 10 times to mix.
|
|
6. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes, and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for separation, large flakes,
|
|
precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. If the tank mix partners are not compatible, do not
|
|
use the mixture in a spray tank.
|
|
7. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage and Disposal section of
|
|
this label.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
Tank Mix Instructions: LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied in tank mix combinations with labeled rates of other products
|
|
provided these other products are labeled for the timing and method of application for the crop to be treated. The tank mix partner must
|
|
be used in accordance with the label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. LIBERTY HERBICIDE
|
|
cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Refer to the specific crop section for rates and
|
|
other restrictions.
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE must be applied with properly calibrated and clean equipment. LIBERTY HERBICIDE is formulated to mix readily
|
|
in water. Prior to adding LIBERTY HERBICIDE to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean, particularly if a
|
|
herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used (see Cleaning instructions).
|
|
Mix LIBERTY HERBICIDE with water to make a finished spray solution as follows:
|
|
1. Fill the spray tank half full with water.
|
|
2. Start agitation.
|
|
3. If mixing with a flowable/wettable powder tank mix partner. Prepare a slurry of the proper amount of the product in a small
|
|
amount of water. Add the slurry to the spray tank
|
|
4. Add the appropriate amount of ammonium sulfate (AMS) to the spray tank.
|
|
5. If mixing with a liquid tank mix partner, add the liquid mix partner next.
|
|
6. Complete filling the spray tank with water.
|
|
7. Add the proper amount of LIBERTY HERBICIDE and continue agitation.
|
|
8. If foaming occurs, use a silicone-based antifoam agent.
|
|
Ensure that all spray system lines including pipes, booms, etc. have the correct concentration of spray solution by flushing out the spray
|
|
system lines before starting the crop application.
|
|
If tank mix partners recommended on this label are added, maintain good agitation at all times until contents of the tank are sprayed. If
|
|
the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass
|
|
line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzles or line strainers must be 50 mesh or larger.
|
|
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
Before using LIBERTY HERBICIDE, thoroughly clean bulk storage tank, refillable tank, nurse tanks, spray tank, lines, and filter,
|
|
particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure crops was previously used. Equipment should be thoroughly rinsed using a
|
|
commercial tank cleaner.
|
|
After using LIBERTY HERBICIDE, triple rinse the spray equipment and clean with a commercial tank cleaner before using for crops not
|
|
labeled LibertyLink. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and boom. Rinsate may be disposed
|
|
following the pesticide disposal directions on this label.
|
|
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
|
Spray drift may result in injury to non-target crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, do not apply when wind speed is greater than 10
|
|
MPH or during periods of temperature inversions. Do not apply when weather conditions, wind speed, or wind direction may cause
|
|
spray drift to non-target areas. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
|
|
APPLICATOR.
|
|
• All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
|
|
• For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately
|
|
prior to application.
|
|
Sensitive Areas: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
|
|
bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away
|
|
from the sensitive areas).
|
|
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be
|
|
damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
|
|
Aerial 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 outer most 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. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account
|
|
the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information.
|
|
|
|
'%
|
|
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION
|
|
Information on 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 Wind, Temperature and
|
|
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions below). AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
|
|
THE APPLICATOR.
|
|
Controlling Droplet Size:
|
|
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray'volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
|
|
droplets.
|
|
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces
|
|
larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
|
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
|
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than
|
|
other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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 the largest
|
|
droplets and the lowest drift.
|
|
• 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 should 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 exposure of droplets
|
|
to evaporation and wind.
|
|
Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. 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 should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
|
|
Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 -10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
|
determine drift potential at any given speed. Applications should 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 should be familiar with local wind patterns
|
|
and how they affect spray drift.
|
|
Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
|
|
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during
|
|
conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
|
|
Temperature Inversions: Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. 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.

APPLieATION'biREOflONS FOR BURNDQWN USE
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied as a burndown treatment prior to planting or prior to emergence of any conventional or
|
|
transgenic variety of canola, corn, cotton, rice, soybean or sugar beet. Apply a minimum of 41 fl oz/A of LIBERTY HERBICIDE for
|
|
burndown of existing weeds just prior to planting or prior to emergence of canola, corn, cotton, rice, soybean, or sugar beets. For best
|
|
results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
|
|
performance of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to
|
|
drought or cool temperatures.
|
|
• In cotton, if environmental conditions prevent timely applications, a single application may be made of up to 60 fl oz/A of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE. If more than 41 fl oz/A are used in any single application, the season total may not exceed 101 fl
|
|
oz/A, including all application timings.
|
|
• In soybean, if environmental conditions prevent timely applications, a single application may be made of up to 50 fl oz/A of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE. If 41-50 fl oz/A are used in a single burndown application, one additional in-season application
|
|
may be made at up to 41 fl oz/A. The season total may not exceed 91 fl oz/A, including all application timings.
|
|
• In canola, corn, rice, and sugar beets, if environmental conditions prevent timely applications, a single application may be
|
|
made of up to 50 fl oz/A of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. No additional applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be made post
|
|
emergence to the crop during the growing season.
|
|
• In Rice, following a burndown application, there must be a minimum 7-day holding period after flooding of the field.

|
THOROUGH SPRAY COVERAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. LIBERTY HERBICIDE works best when weeds are actively growing. A
|
|
cultivation may be made at least 5 days before a LIBERTY HERBICIDE application or 5 days after a LIBERTY HERBICIDE application.
|
|
APPLICATION TIMING
|
|
Applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE on sugar beets may be made from the cotyledon stage up to the 10-leaf stage of the sugar beet.
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE is a foliar-active material with no soil-residual activity. For best results, apply to emerged; young actively growing
|
|
weeds. Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled. LIBERTY HERBICIDE will have an effect on weeds that are larger
|
|
than the recommended leaf stage, however speed of activity arid control may be reduced. Weed control may be reduced if application
|
|
is made when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are under stress due to drought, cool temperatures, or
|
|
extended periods of cloudiness. LIBERTY HERBICIDE is rainfast 4 hours after application, therefore, rainfall within 4 hours may
|
|
necessitate retreatment.
|
|
For best weed control and sugar beet yield, LIBERTY HERBICIDE applications should begin when weeds are up to 1 inch in height or
|
|
diameter. Repeat applications should be made when newly germinated weeds again reach 1 inch in height or diameter. Refer to the
|
|
Rate Tables for Weed Control In Sugar Beets for selection of the proper rate dependent upon the weed species present and size. A
|
|
repeat application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE or a tank mix application with a residual herbicide selected from the tank mix partners listed
|
|
on this label will be needed to control weeds that have not yet emerged at the time of application.

APPLICATION DIRlefiONS FOR USE ON GANOLA
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE only to canola labeled as LibertyLink. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve
|
|
consistent weed control. . ,v
|
|
APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING
|
|
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
|
|
performance of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to
|
|
drought or cool temperatures. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important.
|
|
Applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE on canola may be made from the cotyledon stage up to the early bolting stage of the canola.
|
|
Slight discoloration of the canola may be visible after application. This effect is temporary and will not influence crop growth, maturity, or
|
|
yield
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE at 31 fl oz/A per application. A second application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be needed to control
|
|
weeds that have not yet emerged at the time of application.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON COTTON
|
|
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control. LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied as a
|
|
broadcast, over-the-top, post-emergence spray or as a directed spray only to LibertyLink cotton. This product may be applied post-
|
|
emergence to non-LibertyLink cotton varieties or cultivars by using equipment designed to minimize contact of the spray with the cotton
|
|
foliage. See the Application Methods on Non- LibertyLink Cotton section for selection of shielding equipment. Severe plant injury or
|
|
plant death may result if the LIBERTY HERBICIDE contacts the foliage or stems of cotton NOT labeled as LibertyLink.
|
|
APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING
|
|
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
|
|
performance of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to
|
|
drought or cool temperatures. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE to cotton from emergence up to the early bloom stage at 31 to 41 fl oz/A. Should environmental conditions
|
|
prevent a timely herbicide application, a single application of up to 60 fl oz/A of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be made to cotton. If more
|
|
than 41 fl oz/A are used in any single application, the seasonal total may not exceed 101 fl oz/A, including all application timings. See
|
|
Restrictions to the Directions for use on Cotton below for additional information.
|
|
Refer to the Weed Control Table for Row Crops section of this label for selection of the proper rate dependent upon weed species
|
|
present and size. In weed populations with mixed species, select the highest rate required to control all the species. Volunteer
|
|
LibertyLink crop plants (corn, rice, cotton, soybeans, sugar beets) from the previous season will not be controlled by applications of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE. A repeat application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE or tank mixes with a residual herbicide will be needed to control
|
|
weeds that have not emerged at the time of application. See the Tank Mix Instructions for Use on Cotton to select suitable tank mix

RESTRICTIONS TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON COTTON
|
|
« DO NOT apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE to cotton in Florida, South of Tampa (Florida Route 60), or in Hawaii, except for test
|
|
plots or breeding nurseries.
|
|
. DO NOT apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE within 70 days prior to cotton harvest.
|
|
• Up to three applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be made to cotton per season at a maximum application rate of 41 fl
|
|
oz/A. DO NOT apply more than 122 fl oz (including all application timings) to cotton per season under this application
|
|
scenario. Sequential applications should be at least 10 days apart.
|
|
• If environmental conditions prevent timely applications resulting in large weeds or heavy infestations, a single application of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE at up to 60 fl oz/A may be made to cotton. DO NOT apply more than 60 fl oz of LIBERTY HERBICIDE
|
|
in a single application under this use scenario. If a single application greater than 41 fl oz is made, a subsequent application
|
|
not to exceed 41 fl oz may be made to cotton. The seasonal total use rate under this scenario may not exceed 101 fl oz of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Sequential applications should be at least 10 days apart.
|
|
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

rotational crop plant back intervals.
|
|
APPLICATION METHODS TO LIBERTYLINK COTTON
|
|
Refer to the Weed Control Table for Row Crops to select the proper application rate based upon the weeds present and their size.
|
|
Uniform and thorough spray coverage is required to achieve consistent weed control. For ground application, apply LIBERTY
|
|
HERBICIDE to LibertyLink cotton as an over-the-top foliar spray or as a spray directed to the lower one-third of the cotton stand.
|
|
APPLICATION METHODS TO NON-LIBERTYLINK COTTON '
|
|
Application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE to cotton varieties not labeled as LibertyLink requires the use of hooded spray equipment
|
|
designed to minimize exposure of the spray to the cotton stand. A hooded sprayer directs the spray onto weeds, while shielding the
|
|
cotton stand from contact. Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep hoods on these sprayers adjusted
|
|
to protect desirable vegetation. Extreme care must be exercised to avoid exposure of the desirable vegetation to the spray.
|
|
With a hooded sprayer, the spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop from
|
|
the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in
|
|
any way. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid
|
|
bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground. If the
|
|
hoods are raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the cotton, causing damage or destruction of the crop.
|
|
Herbicide rates and spray volume Instructions are presented as broadcast equivalents and must be reduced in proportion to the area
|
|
actually treated. Use the following formulas to calculate the correct rate and volume per planted (field) acre:

POST-HARVEST
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied as a post-harvest burndown treatment to fields (after cotton harvest). Up to 60 fl oz/A of
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied in a single application to control larger weeds growing in the crop at the time of harvest. If more
|
|
than 41 fl oz/A is used in a single application, the seasonal total may not exceed 101 fl oz/A, including all application timings. Refer to
|
|
the Rotational Crop Restrictions section of this label for appropriate rotational crop information.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON SOYBEANS
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE only to soybean designated as LibertyLink. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve
|
|
consistent weed control.
|
|
APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING
|
|
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
|
|
performance of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to
|
|
drought or cool temperatures. Adding ammonium sulfate with LIBERTY HERBICIDE may improve weed control if weeds are under
|
|
stress. For optimal yield, early season weed removal is important.
|
|
Applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE on soybeans may be made from emergence up to but not including the bloom growth stage.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE to LibertyLink soybeans from emergence up to but not including the bloom growth stage at 31 to 41 fl
|
|
oz/A. See weed chart to determine rate. Should environmental conditions prevent a timely herbicide application, a single application of
|
|
up to 50 fl oz/A of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be made to soybeans followed by one additional application at a maximum of 41 fl oz/A
|
|
with a seasonal maximum of 91 fl oz/A. LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied alone, or in a tank mix application with a residual
|
|
herbicide to control weeds that have not yet emerged at the time of application.
|
|
Although timely post applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE can provide complete weed control, residual herbicides at burndown,
|
|
planting, or tank mixed with LIBERTY HERBICIDE help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions
|
|
delay timely post applications. Residual herbicides can also reduce early season weed competition and are a key element of good
|
|
weed resistance management practices.

|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied to select out susceptible "segregates," i.e., canola, corn, cotton, and soybean plants that are not
|
|
tolerant to glufosinate-ammonium during seed propagation.
|
|
• Canola: LIBERTY HERBICIDE may also be used in canola seed propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate canola
|
|
plants that do not carry a gene that imparts tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium and as such, can be applied to remove
|
|
susceptible segregates during canola seed propagation. Breeding material not possessing the glufosinate-ammonium tolerance
|
|
gene will be severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. See Application Use Directions for Use on Canola for use
|
|
rates and application timing.
|
|
• Corn: Inbred lines, plants not possessing glufosinate-ammonium tolerance, will be severely injured or killed if treated with this
|
|
herbicide. A hooded sprayer may be used to protect plants from coming into contact with the herbicide application. For the
|
|
selection of tolerant corn "segregates", LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied at 31 fl oz/A plus AMS at 3 Ib/A (17 lb/100
|
|
gallons) when corn is in the V-3 to V-4 stage of growth, i.e., 3 to 4 developed collars. A second treatment of 31 fl oz/A plus AMS
|
|
at 3 Ibs/A may be applied when the corn is in the V-6 to V-7 stage of growth or up to 24" tall. Sequential applications should be
|
|
at least 10 days apart. When temperatures exceed 85° F, the rate of AMS can be reduced to 1.5 Ibs/A (8.5 lbs/100 gallons) to
|
|
reduce potential leaf burn.
|
|
• Cotton: LIBERTY HERBICIDE may also be used in cottonseed propagation as a foliar spray to selectively eliminate cotton
|
|
plants that do not carry a gene that imparts tolerance to glufosinate-ammonium and as such, can be applied to remove
|
|
susceptible segregates during cottonseed propagation. Breeding material not possessing the glufosinate-ammonium tolerance
|
|
gene will be severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. See Application Use Directions for Use on Cotton for use
|
|
rates and application timing.
|
|
• Soybeans: For the selection of tolerant soybean "segregates", LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be applied at up to 31 to 50 fl oz/A
|
|
when soybean is in the third trifoliate stage. A second treatment of 31 to 41 fl oz/A may be applied up to but not including the
|
|
bloom growth stage of soybean. Sequential applications should be at least 5 days apart.

|
|
APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING
|
|
For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Warm temperatures, high humidity, and bright sunlight improve the
|
|
performance of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. Weed control may be reduced when applications are made to weeds under stress due to
|
|
drought or cool temperatures. Weeds under stress or in dense populations will require application at the highest specified label use
|
|
rate. Stressed conditions also include prior treatments of other contact or systemic herbicides. Do not retreat these weeds with
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE until sufficient regrowth has occurred.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE as a directed spray to control undesirable vegetation in tree, vine, and berries listed on this label. Apply as
|
|
a broadcast, banded, or spot treatment application depending on the situation to control weeds listed under the heading. "Weeds
|
|
Controlled in Tree, Vine and Berry crops." Avoid direct spray or drift to desirable vegetation. Regrowth may occur due to the weed stage
|
|
of growth at application, low use rate, or environmental conditions. Repeat applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be necessary to
|
|
control plants generating from underground parts or seed.
|
|
Avoid contact of LIBERTY HERBICIDE solution, spray, drift or mist with green bark, stems, or foliage, as injury may occur to trees,
|
|
vines, and berries. Only trunks with callused, mature brown bark should be sprayed unless protected from spray contact by
|
|
nonporous wraps, grow tubes, or waxed containers. Contact of LIBERTY HERBICIDE with parts of trees, vines, or berries
|
|
other than mature brown bark can result in serious damage.
|
|
Application Methods for Broadcast Applications

sprays:
|
|
Band width in inches x Rate per acre = Amount of herbicide
|
|
Row width in inches broadcast needed for treatment
|
|
Application Methods for Spot or Directed-Spray Applications
|
|
For spot or directed spray applications by backpack sprayers only (no mechanically pressured handgun applications allowed): mix
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE at 1.7 fl oz of product per gallon of water. Apply to undesirable vegetation foliage until wet but prior to runoff.
|
|
Ensure uniform and complete coverage. Thoroughly clean the sprayer following use. DO NOT make spot or directed spray applications
|
|
to tree or vine trunk as injury may occur.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR POTATO VINE PESieGATION
|
|
APPLICATION RATE AND TIMING
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE at the beginning of natural senescence of potato vines. Apply 29 fl oz/A. Do not split this application or
|
|
apply more than one application per harvest. Potato varieties with heavy or dense vines may require an application of another
|
|
desiccation product to complete vine desiccation.
|
|
Thorough coverage of the potato vines to be desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of water (20 to 100 gpa) to obtain a
|
|
thorough coverage of the potato vines. Vary the gallons of water per acre and the spray pressure as indicated by the density of the
|
|
potato vines to assure thorough spray coverage. Increase the spray volume to at least 30 gallons of water per acre when the potato
|
|
vine canopy is dense or under cool and dry conditions. Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE with the spray boom as low as possible to achieve
|
|
thorough coverage of the potato vines for best control and to minimize drift potential.
|
|

|
|
RESTRICTIONS TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN POTATO VINE DESICCATION
|
|
1. DO NOT apply more than 29 fl oz/A to potato vines per season.
|
|
2. DO NOT harvest potatoes until 9 days or more after application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE.
|
|
3. DO NOT apply to potatoes grown for seed.
|
|
4. Canola, corn, cotton, rice, soybean, and sugar beets may be planted at any time after the application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE as a
|
|
potato vine desiccant.
|
|
5. DO NOT plant treated areas to wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, and triticale until 30 or more days after an
|
|
application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE as a potato vine desiccant.
|
|
6. DO NOT plant treated areas to crops other than those listed in this use precautions section until 120 or more days after an
|
|
application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE as a potato vine desiccant.
|
|
THOROUGH SPRAY COVERAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. For best results apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds.
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE is a foliar-active material with little or no soil-residual activity. Weeds that emerge after application will not be
|
|
controlled. Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present; or when weeds are
|
|
under stress due to drought, cool temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness. LIBERTY HERBICIDE is rainfast 4 hours after
|
|
application to most weed species. Rainfall within 4 hours after application may necessitate retreatment or reduced weed control may
|
|
result.
|
|
RESTRICTIONS TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE ON RICE
|
|
1. DO NOT exceed 67 oz of LIBERTY HERBICIDE per growing season.
|
|
2. DO NOT apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE within 70 days of harvesting rice.
|
|
3. DO NOT plant rotation crops in a field treated with LIBERTY HERBICIDE within 120 days after the last application of this product
|
|
with the exception of wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, and triticale, which may be planted 70 days after the last
|
|
application of this product. The crops listed on this label may be planted at any time.
|
|
4. DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
|
5. DO NOT use paddy water from a rice field treated with LIBERTY HERBICIDE for irrigation, or as a water source for livestock or for
|
|
raising crayfish.
|
|
6. DO NOT add surfactants or crop oils. A silicon-based anti-foam agent may be added if needed.
|
|
Application Timing for the Southern United States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas)
|
|
Applications of LIBERTY HERBICIDE on rice may be made from the 1-leaf stage through the mid-tillering stage of development. Refer
|
|
to the Rate Tables for Weed Control in Rice to select the proper rate to use to control the weed species present. LIBERTY HERBICIDE
|
|
will have an effect on weeds that are larger than the recommended leaf stage, however speed of activity and control may be reduced.
|
|
Rice fields should be as level as possible and free of large clods to obtain uniform germination of rice and grassy weeds and to ensure
|
|
uniform flood levels. If necessary, fields may be flushed prior to treatment so that the rice and grass/broadleaf weeds are actively
|
|
growing at the time of treatment. If the rice, field is flushed, allow sufficient time for germination of the weed species to occur prior to
|
|
treatment.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE prior to the permanent flood when weeds are in the 1-5 leaf stage. A second application is recommended
|
|
after a new flush of weeds emerge. A second application may be made from 10 days after the first application up to the mid-tillering
|
|
growth stage of the rice. For optimum weed control, apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE before canopy closure to ensure thorough spray
|
|
coverage of the weed species.
|
|
When applying LIBERTY HERBICIDE post-flood, lower the water level so that 75% of the weed foliage is exposed. The water level may
|
|
be brought back to normal level 48 hours after the herbicide application.

APPLICATION TIMING FOR CALIFORNIA
|
|
1. Water-Seeded Rice
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE can be applied when the rice is in the 1-leaf stage to mid-tillering stage of development (but prior to panicle
|
|
initiation). For optimum weed control apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE when rice is in the 4- to 5-leaf stage. Lower the water .in the field in
|
|
order to expose small broadleaf weeds and sedges. The water level may be brought back to the normal level 24 hours after herbicide
|
|
application. The water level must be controlled such that the rice is not completely covered. A second application is recommended at
|
|
the 2 to 3 tiller stage of rice. For optimum weed control, apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE before canopy closure to ensure thorough spray
|
|
coverage of the weed species.
|
|
• Minimum paddy depth of 8 inches
|
|
• Do not exceed 34 fl oz (0.44 Ibs ai/A) per single application

• Maximum of two applications at 34 fl oz (0.44 Ibs ai/A) with a minimum 10-day re-treatment interval
|
|
• Do not exceed 67 fl oz (0.89 Ibs ai/A) per year
|
|
• Minimum 7-day holding period after last application.
|
|
2. Drilled or Dry-Seeded Rice
|
|
Rice fields should be as level as possible and free of large clods to obtain uniform germination of rice and grassy weeds and to ensure
|
|
uniform flood levels. If necessary, fields may be flushed prior to treatment so that the rice and grass/broadleaf weeds are actively
|
|
growing at the time of treatment. If the rice field is flushed, allow sufficient time for germination of the weed species to occur prior to
|
|
treatment.
|
|
Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE prior to the permanent flood when weeds are in the 1-5 leaf stage. A second application is recommended
|
|
after a new flush of weeds emerge. A second application may be made from 10 days after the first application up to the mid-tillering
|
|
growth stage of the rice. For optimum weed control, apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE before canopy closure to ensure thorough spray
|
|
coverage of the weed species.
|
|
• Do not exceed 67 fl oz (0.89 Ibs ai/A) per single application

TANK MIX INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE IN RICE
|
|
When using LIBERTY HERBICIDE in tank mix combinations, follow the precautions and directions of the most restrictive label for the
|
|
appropriate timing, rate, and crop response information.
|
|
1. Southern United States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas)
|
|
To enhance weed control and/or provide residual control in rice, LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be mixed with the following herbicides.
|
|
Arrosolo® 3-3E Herbicide
|
|
Basagran® Herbicide
|
|
Bolero EC® Herbicide
|
|
Londax® Herbicide
|
|
Prowl® 3.3EC Herbicide
|
|
Propanil
|
|
Stam® Herbicide
|
|
Permit® Herbicide
|
|
2. California
|
|
To enhance weed control and/or provide residual control in rice, LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be mixed with the following herbicides.
|
|
Londax® Herbicide
|
|
Stam® Herbicide
|
|
Super Wham® Herbicide
|
|
LIBERTY HERBICIDE is to be applied as a foliar spray to selectively remove susceptible "segregates," i.e., undesirable rice plants
|
|
which are not tolerant to glufosinate-ammonium and to control of a broad spectrum of emerged grass and broadleaf weeds in rice-
|
|
transgenic seed propagation fields. Inbred lines or breeding material not possessing the glufosinate-ammonium tolerance gene will be
|
|
severely injured or killed if treated with this herbicide. Apply LIBERTY HERBICIDE exclusively to rice-seed propagation fields in which
|
|
the desired plants are glufosinate-ammonium tolerant.
|
|
THOROUGH SPRAY COVERAGE IS VERY IMPORTANT. LIBERTY HERBICIDE works best when weeds are small, and the crops
|
|
and weeds are actively growing. Visual effects and control of rice susceptible "segregates" from LIBERTY HERBICIDE applications
|
|
occur within 2 to 4 days after application under good growing conditions. The ability of LIBERTY HERBICIDE to eliminate rice plants not
|
|
tolerant to LIBERTY HERBICIDE may be reduced when heavy dew, fog, or mist/rain is present on the crop; or when the crop is under
|
|
stress due to drought, cool temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness.
|
|
Rice fields should be as level as possible and free of large clods to obtain uniform germination of rice and grassy weeds and to ensure
|
|
uniform flood levels. If necessary, fields may be flushed prior to treatment. If fields are flushed prior to treatment, flush in sufficient time so
|
|
that the rice and grass/broadleaf weeds are actively growing at time of treatment.
|
|
Do not allow spray to contact foliage or green tissue of desirable vegetation other than rice lines in which the desired plants are
|
|
glufosinate-ammonium tolerant. This product will injure any other green vegetation contacted by the spray.
|
|
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEED HANDLING, STORAGE AND USE
|
|
Seed from treated plants must be held in secured storage until used for breeding of glufosinate-ammonium tolerant rice seed, or
|
|
destroyed. Seed from treated plants must be labeled as follows: "Do Not Use for Feed or Food Purposes. Store Away from Feed and
|
|
Food Stuffs." In addition, label the seed with the "Seed Disposal" statements found in the "Storage and Disposal" section of this label.
|
|
26
|
|
|
|
RESTRICTIONS TO THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
|
1. DO NOT use rice, any rice processed commodities or rice straw treated with LIBERTY HERBICIDE for food or feed consumption.
|
|
2. DO NOT exceed 112 fl oz/A of LIBERTY HERBICIDE'per growing season on rice being treated for segregate control in transgenic
|
|
seed propagation fields.
|
|
3. DO NOT plant rotation crops in a field treated with LIBERTY HERBICIDE for 120 days after the last application of this product with
|
|
the exception of wheat, barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, and triticale, which may be planted 70 days after the last
|
|
application of this product.
|
|
4. DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
|
Rate Instructions and Timing for Transgenic Seed Propagation
|
|
For the selection of susceptible rice "segregates", LIBERTY HERBICIDE must be applied at 56 fl oz/A when rice is in the 1 to 3 leaf
|
|
stage of growth. A second treatment of 56 fl oz/A must be applied 10 days later or up until the rice is in the mid-tillering state of growth.
|
|
• Do not exceed 112 fl oz (1.46 Ibs ai/A) per single application
|
|
• 2 applications can be made at 56 fl oz (0.73 Ibs ai/A) with a minimum 10-day re-treatment interval
|
|
• Do not exceed 112 fl oz (1.46 Ibs ai/A) per year
|
|
• Minimum paddy depth of 4 inches
|
|
• If 1 application of 112 fl oz is made, the applicatipn must be made to a dry field. A minimum 7-day holding period after flooding
|
|
of the field is required.
|
|
• If 2 applications are made, the first application must be made to a dry field.
|
|
• The second application may be made to a flooded field with a required 55-day holding period for a 4-inch paddy depth or a 30-
|
|
day holding period for an 8-inch paddy depth.
|
|
WATER MANAGEMENT
|
|
A sufficient portion of the target grassy weed plant must be exposed to LIBERTY HERBICIDE for satisfactory control to be achieved.
|
|
Therefore, if necessary, lower or allow water to recede so that at least 75% of the weed foliage is exposed above the water level. Do
|
|
not increase the water level for at least 48 hours following the application of LIBERTY HERBICIDE. The water level may be brought
|
|
back to normal level following this period.
|
|
