GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS • Touchdown 008 requires actively growing green plant tissue to function. Application to drought-stressed weeds or weeds with little green foliage (i.e. mowed, cut, or hailed on weeds); weeds covered with dust; weeds damaged by insects or diseases may result in reduced weed control. • Touchdown 008 does not provide soil residual control of weeds. Weeds emerging after application will require retreatment.

-8- • Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatmC'll~ • Tillage or mowing within 3 days following application may reduce weed cOlltrol. • Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. • Do not spray if conditions of thermal inversion exist, or if wind direction alIC: speed may cause spray to drift onto adjacent nontarget areas. Drift miniIT,;zation is the responsibility of the applicator. Consult with local and State agnculilli"al authorities for information regarding avoiding or minimizing spray drift • It is recommended that the spray system be thoroughly cleaned with wilter Clnd a commercial tank cleaner after each use. • Spray solutions of Touchdown OU8 should be mixed, stored, and applied u,wlg only plastic, plastic-lined steel, sti;linless steel, aluminum, or fiberglass containers. Concentrate should not be stored in galvanized steel, carboll ":,,:el, aluminum, or unlined steel containfJrs. • There are no rotational crop restrictions following application of this product • Damage may be caused by contact of Touchdown 008 to any vegetatio:. tu which treatment is not intended. • In crop areas, do not exceed a total of 6 Ibs. a.e. glyphosate (6 qts. TOUC;V:lwn 008) per acre per year. In noncrop areas, do not exceed a total of 8 Ills ;, (; glyphosate (8 qts. Touchdown 008) per acre per year. • Do not exceed 0.75 Ibs. a.e. glyphosate (0.75 qt. Touchdown 008) per dCI·. :)y air unless otherwise specified on this label. • For broadcast postemergence treatments, do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks following application, unless otherwise specifie(~. • The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply ;:;115 product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing glypho:;st:. or sulfosate as the total acid equivalent, whether applied as mixtures or seD,,, :l'ely. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and c'j'r glyphosate or sulfosate containing products does not exceed maximum I" ··ate.

-9- GL YPHOSATE RESISTANT WEED MANAGEMENT Touchdown 008 is a mixture of glyphosate (Group 9 Herbicide) and dicamba iC;".,up 4 Herbicide). Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate or ci::amba may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeiltc,ci use of herbicides with the same mode of action is known to lead under certain conc!:Uns to a selection of resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the Iikelil1CJcci :nat resistant weed populations will develop and integrated strategies are known tn II.IlIage such problem weeds. Glyphosate and dicamba are the active ingredients in the herbicide Touchdown OJ8. The primary mode of action of glyphosate involves inactivation of the target enzj:118 5- enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzyme is involved i~ the synthesis of several essential amino acids, that are the building blocks for protelllS needed for plant growth and development. In susceptible weeds glyph os ate bill!" tightly to EPSPS rendering the enzyme ilHlctive. With the inactivation of EPSP~' ,'le plant is unable to produce certain essential amino acids resulting in plant death. VI'lthin the USA specific biotypes of horseweed/marestail, Conyza canadensis and r:uic' ryegrass, Lolium rigidum have become resistant to glyphosate. The primary mode of action of dicamba involves deactivation of auxin-bindinQ p"'i,"ins in the cytosol or plasma membrane, disrupting endogenous auxin function. -;'/,1:, causes deregulation of RNA and protein synthesis progressing to plant death. ','1' Ilin the USA a specific biotype of kochia, Kochia scoparia, has become resistant to dicamba. Following is a list of Best Weed Management practices to be considered in glypl';ate­ based programs. • Rotate glyphosate with herbicides with different modes of action. • Rotate glyphosate tolerant Roundup Ready® (RRTM) crops with conventioIIC'''-0Ps to reduce resistant volunteers. • Use alternative burndown and/or residual herbicide chemistry for RR crops Ii to require more than one application of glyphosate. • Do not use more than two applications of a glyphosate based herbicide over . !'-vo year period in RR corn and RR soybeans production. Up to three in crop applications may be used in RR cotton per year if glyphosate application io ,,:·ted with in-crop cUltivation. • Use full labeled rates to minimize tolerant escapes and do not allow weeci ,i' 'es to produce seeds or vegetative propagules. • Monitor treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy. • Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or mar,. .Jrer for herbicide resistant management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.

-10- 11/3"1 Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Touchdown 008 to control resistant weeds. RATES Follow recommended rates for Touchdown 008 listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED section. Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense or large. Also, use higher application volumes and pressures when weed vegetation is dense. '.

  6. Add Touchdown 008.
  7. Add nonionic surfactant/wetting agent (if used).
  8. Fill remainder of spray tank.

-- ". ,---- "._--"" APPLICATION PROCEDURES TIMING Touchdown 008 should be applied to actively growing emerged weeds. Annuall'.'eeds of 6 inches or less in height are typically the easiest to control. Generally, mOI'f' effective control of perennial weeds is achieved at the flowering or seedheacl st,~~;e. Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED sections for specific application timing When annual weeds have been mowed or grazed, wait for 3-4 inches of new wowth to appear prior to application. When perennial weeds have been mowed or grazed ,lllow new growth to reach recommended stage prior to application. Visible effects on annual weeds occurs within 2-4 days after application; effects on perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather' k)'lmving treatment may slow activity. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES • Avoid drift. Applications should not be made in low level inversion conciitions, when winds are gusty or under any other conditions which favor drift. Inver'sions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height Cli,e,ve the ground. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by pruducing smoke and observing a smoke layer. Drift may cause damage to any ve(l!'tation contacted to which treatment is not intended. • Drift control additives may be used with Touchdown 008. Read and ful:Clv., the manufacturer's directions for use. • All equipment must be properly maintained and washed to remove produc: residues after use. SPRAY DRIFT INFORMATION Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. Ii Ie interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potentia: for spray drift, The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all the"" factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-targe':: rift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirement CIO not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using d,y formulations.

-19-

  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°. Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below. Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label " requirements.) 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). 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 Clpp!:':ation at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation anc' wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced dowmvind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must complcnsate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath CldJlIstmflnt distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller clIC:'S, 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. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and 11I,)h inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every ,lpplic:Cltor 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 :arger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe whf-,n conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift pote:::i,,1 is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperatlll'e inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are coillmon on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the·,un sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ~F'lInd fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the mo'iW 'fl'lt of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that laym: : nd moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicate,; ill;

-21- inversion, while smoke that move upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 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 habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing av.'"y from the sensitive areas). BROADCAST APPLICATIONS Ground: Applications should be made in 3-40 gallons of water per acre. When foliage is dense, spray volume should be increased to ensure coverage of the target weeds. Flat-fan nozzles will resuH in the most effective application of Touchdown ooe Spray boom and nozzle heights must be adjusted to provide coverage of ',lrget weed. Flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage. Air: Applications should be made in 3-15 gallons of water per acre. Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with effective weed control and flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the canopy should be avoicl"d. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good weed control. Formation of veil' small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzle~ ,1way from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding inappropriate spray boom pressure. Solid stream or low shear nozzles may be utilized to reduce small clro:)let formation. These nozzles direct the fluid parallel to the existing airflow to redu=e shear effects. Other techniques may include reducing the fan angle of flat fan nozzle" if used, or reducing the deflector plate angle if deflector type nozzles are used. Ensure tile spray is released at an appropriate distance below the airfoil. For best results, each specific aerial application vehicle used should be quantiflilbly pattern tested for aerial application of Touchdown 008 herbicide initially and ever" year thereafter. To minimize drift, it is suggested aerial application equipment procluce the following minimum spray deposition characteristics: Volume Median Diameter (VMD) Volume Diameter (VD) {O.g}

400 microns 200 microns

-22- Prolonged exposure of Touchdown OOB to uncoated steel surfaces may result in corrosion and possible failure of the part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-3B413 may prevent corrosion. To prevent corrosion of exposed parts, thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove residues of Touchdown OOB accumulated during spraying or from spills. Landing gear are most susceptible. SPOT TREATMENTS For annual weeds less than 6 inches, use a 0.3-0.5% v/v solution. For annual weeds over 6 inches, use a 0.5-1% v/v solution. Use a 0.75-1.5% v/v solution for most perennials (see Table 3 for specific rates and timing). When using motorized spot spray equipment (rider bar), use a 2.25% v/v solution. See Spot Spray Dilution Table below for rates of Touchdown OOB/volume of finished spray solution. Spray the solution on actively growing weeds until uniformly wet but not to the point of runoff. Retreat 14-21 days later if regrowth occurs.

Method of Application: Before, during, or after planting, but before crop emergence; 
renovation; site preparation; wiper/wick applicators; spot treatments; creating rows in 
annual ryegrass. 
Apply to turf or forage grass areas grown for seed production. Applications MUST be 
made prior to the emergence of the crop to avoid crop injury. For maximum control of 
existing vegetation, delay planting to determine if any regrowth from escaped 
underground plant parts occurs. Where repeat treatments are necessary, sufficient 
regrowth must be attained prior to application. For warm-season grasses, such as 
bermudagrass, summer or fall applications provide best control. 
Follow directions listed in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS, SPRAY ADDITIVES, and 
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES sections. Refer to the WEEDS 
CONTROLLED section for rates and timing. 
General Use Precautions for Grass Seed Production 
• Do not disturb soil or underground plant parts before treatment. Tillage or 
renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring, or slicing should be 
delayed for 7 days after application to allow proper translocation into 
underground plant parts. 
• Do not feed or graze treated areas for 8 weeks following application.

--31-
Apply after most of the heads have matured. Apply when grain moisture is 30% or less. 
Development of immature heads will be interrupted and yield potential will be affected 
when applications are made too early. Delay harvest until at least 30 days after 
treatment. Do not apply a preharvest treatment on sorghum grown for seed as a 
reduction in germination or vigor may occur. 
Postharvest 
Following harvest, apply 1.5 pts.lA for control or 1 pt./A for suppression of regrowth of 
harvested sorghum stubble. For best results, control of weeds clipped at harvest is 
improved if allowed to develop new leaves prior to application. Refer to Weed Tables 
for specific recommendations. 
SOYBEANS 
Method of Application: Before planting and postharvest. 
Follow directions listed in the APPLICATION DIRECTIONS, SPRAY ADDITIVES. and 
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES sections. Refer to WEEDS 
CONTROLLED section for application rates and timing.
