MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the tank 114 to l/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of RELIANCE.
3. Continue agitation untIl the RELIANCE is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. REUANCE should he thoroughJy mixed with water in the spray tank hefore adding any other material. As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants (Crop Oil Concentrate. nonionic surfactant, liquid nitrogen fertilizer, or ammonium sulfate).
5. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
6. Apply RELIANCE spray pieparaliori:wlthin 24houfS of mixing toavoid product degradation. 7_If the mixture bas serrIed, thoroughly reagitate before using.

) ) Additional Use and Handling Information for RELIANCE STS When Packaged in Water Soluble Packets Soluble Packs are contained in waterproof, resealable plastic bags, with plastic bags enclosed in a cardboard box. The individual Soluble Packs will dissolve completely in water. Open rhe outer resealaole plaitic bag, remove tli" requUed number of Soluble Packs for the application rate of one 2.0 ounce Soluble Pack per 4 treated acres and follow the mixing instructions above. Precautions: The outer reseal able plastic bag is NOT soluble in water. DO NOT place it in the spray tank. • Excessive handling of the packs, or exposure to moistnre, will cause breakage. • Do not touch the packs with wet hands or place them on wet surfaces. -- ------ -- • Prqtect unused Soluble Packs by resealing them in the resealable bag. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Ground Application (See Also Spray Drift Management) Broadcast Application • Use a minimum of 10 gal water per acre. Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase minimum spray volume to 15-25 gal peiacre. Use flat fan nozzles at 25-60 psi for RELIANCE applications. Do not use flood, rain drop, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA) type nozzles. Unacceptable crop injury, excessive spray drift, or poor weed control may result For proper spray coverage adjust the boom and nozzle height according to the specifications listed by rhe nozzle manufactnrer. Band Application Because band applicators spray a narrower area than broadcast applicators, use proportionately less spray solution for band applications. . Carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed rhe labeled rate. Flat fan nozzles are recommended. Carefully follow rhe nozzle manufacturer's instructions for nozzle orientation, distance of tile nozzles from the crop arid weeds, spray volumes, calibration, and spray pressure for band applications. For additional information on rOW banders, see DuPont bulletin, "Application Accuracy - Row Banders." 4 Aerial Application (See Also Spray Drift Management) Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 5 to 10 GPA. Do not apply during aterIlperature-inversion condition, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions will favor poor coverage and/or off­ target spray movement. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY RELIANCE rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. Leaves of susceptible plants yellow 3-5 days after application, followed. in controlled plants, by the death of the growing point RELIANCE will provide complete control of susceptible weeds in 7-21 days. Suppressed plants may remain green but will be stunted and noncompetitive. RELIANCE will provide best results when applied to young, actively growing weeds_ Degree of control depends on: weed spectrum; weed size (if weeds are large, use higher spray volume); growing conditions at and following treatment; soil moisture; precipitation; and spray adjuvants. Treating weeds under stress or large weeds may reSult in only parna! control. Stress may be caused by: • abnormal weather (hot or cold) mechanical injury frpmcultivatiQn drought water-saturated soil • disease insect injury prior herbicide injury Stre$S affects som~ weeds, such as pigweed, more than others. Delay application until stress passes and weeds start to grow again. Severe stress (drought, disease, insect damage, or nulrient deficiency stich as iron chlorosis) following application may also result in poor weed control. . Do not apply RELIANCE if rain is expected within 1 hour or weed control may decrease.

The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. . - AVOIDING SPRAY DRlFf IS TIlE RESPONSIBlLITY OF TIlE APPLICATOR. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The most effective way ioreduce drift potential is to apply large Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns.

Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN IDGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USEAIDGHER-CAPAClTY· NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. 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. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft Number of Nozzles - Use the mirtimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger-droplets than other nozzle types. Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length- longer booms increase drift potentiaL Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift BOOM HEIGHT Setting the bOOin at the lowest labeled heighi\if speCified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless 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 giverlwind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR . WINDLESS CONDmONS. 6 concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while 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.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation equipment Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: • Do not apply RELIANCE-ordrain or flllsh equipment on or - near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Many crops are sensitive to RELIANCE. All direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than soybeans should be avoided. • Thoroughly clean all application equipment immediately after use ahd-prior to spraying crops other than soybeans. RELIANCE is for use only on soybean varieties designated as "STS".
