4 Environmental Hazards This pesticide may be hazardous to plants outside the treated area. DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertid- al areas below the mean high water mark. Off-site movement from spray drift, volatilization, and runoff may be hazardous to neighboring crops and vegetative habitat used for food and cover by wildlife and aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Nontarget Organism Advisory Statement: This prod uct is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of nontarget organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of nontarget organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. Groundwater Advisory Statement: This chemical has properties and char- acteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particu- larly where the water table is shallow. Surface Water Advisory Statement: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of Clearmax ® herbicide from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applica- tions when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. In Case of Emergency In case of large-scale spill of this product, call: • CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300 • BASF Corporation 1-800-832-HELP (4357) In case of medical emergency regarding this product, call: • Your local doctor for immediate treatment • Your local poison control center (hospital) • BASF Corporation 1-800-832-HELP (4357) Steps to take if material is released or spilled: • Dike and contain the spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid diking material to separate containers for disposal. • Remove contaminated clothing, and wash affected skin areas with soap and water. • Wash clothing before reuse. • Keep the spill out of all sewers and open bodies of water. Environmental Hazards This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and aquatic plants. DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. Avoid spray drift to susceptible plants such as cotton, beans, tomatoes, and ornamentals. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Avoid use of small diameter spray nozzles. At high air or ground surface tempera- tures, vapors from this product may injure susceptible plants. DO NOT use in a greenhouse. Groundwater contamination. This chemical has properties and characteris- tics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Most cases of groundwa- ter contamination involving phenoxy herbicides, such as MCPA, have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling MCPA pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. Cleaning of equipment. DO NOT use the same spray equipment for other purposes unless thoroughly cleaned. When cleaning equipment, DO NOT pour washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. In Case of Emergency For chemical spill, leak, fire, or exposure call: • CHEMTREC 1-800-424-9300 • For Medical Emergencies Only 1-877-325-1840

(continued)

6 STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued) Container Handling (continued) Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity ≤ 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the con- tainer 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Product Information Clearmax® herbicide is intended for the postemergence control of a wide spectrum of broadleaf and grass weeds in Clearfield ® wheat. Clearmax is provided in a molded jug pack that contains enough ammonium salt of imazamox and 2-ethylhexyl ester of MCPA to treat between 10.7 and 16 acres. The mode of weed-killing activity involves uptake of Clearmax by foliage and/ or weed roots and rapid translocation to the growing points. After Clearmax application, susceptible weeds may show yellowing or epinasty, and weed growth will stop. Susceptible weeds stop growing and die or are not competi- tive with the crop. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum Clearmax activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, Clearmax provides residual activity of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds depends on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil. DO NOT tank mix organophosphate (such as Lorsban ® insecticide) or carbamate insecticides with Clearmax on Clearfield crops unless otherwise specified in writing by BASF. DO NOT apply an organophosphate insecticide within 7 days of Clearmax application. Use of Clearmax is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yellowing of crop plants may occur following Clearmax applications. These effects can be more pronounced if crops are growing under stressful environmental or hot and humid conditions. These effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal growth and appearance should resume within 1 to 2 weeks. Replanting. If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with Clearmax, the field may be replanted to peas or Clearfield and Clearfield ® Plus wheat. Rework the soil no deeper than 2 inches. DO NOT apply a second treatment of Clearmax to the replanted crop. DO NOT apply Pursuit® herbicide or Raptor® herbicide if soybeans are replanted. Mode of Action (MOA) for Imazamox Imazamox, one of the active ingredients in Clearmax is a Group 2 (WSSA) herbicide. Herbicides in this group inhibit acetolactate synthase (ALS) or acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids isoleucine , leucine, and valine. Meristematic chlorosis, followed by general foliar chlorosis and eventual plant death results from events occurring in response to ALS inhibition and low branched-chain amino acid production. Weed Resistance Management For resistance management, please note that Clearmax contains both a Group 2/ALS inhibitor and a Group 4/Auxin growth regulator herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 2 or Group 4 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed popula- tion if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Herbicide resistance could be suspected when the following three indicators occur at a site: • There is failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds. • There is a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species. • The surviving plants are mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this mode of action have been found in your region. Weed resistance to Group 2 herbicides is common in a number of weed spe- cies and in populations of naturally occurring biotypes 1 of some of the weeds listed on this label. Naturally occurring biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other products with the ALS enzyme-in- hibiting mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS enzyme-inhibiting mode of action include sulfonylureas (e.g. Finesse ® herbicide), imidazolinones (e.g. Pursuit or Scepter® 70 DG herbicide), sulfonamides (e.g. Hornet® herbicide), and pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g. Staple® herbicide). If naturally

7 occurring ALS-resistant biotypes are present in a field, Clearmax® herbicide and/or any other ALS enzyme-inhibiting mode-of-action herbicide should be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide hav- ing a different mode of action to ensure control. 1 A weed biotype is a naturally occurring plant within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinct, genetic makeup from other plants. If naturally occurring ALS-resistant weeds and/or biotypes of target weeds are present in a field, use the application rates of Clearmax specified for your local conditions. Clearmax and/or any other ALS enzyme- inhibiting mode-of-action herbicide should be tank mixed or appl ied sequentially with an appropriate regis tered herbicide having a different mode of action to ensure that there are multiple effective mechanisms of actions for each target weed. Clearmax is active against many broadleaf and grass weed species. For long- term weed management, use 2 herbicides with different modes of action (like Clearmax) to reduce the potential for weed resistance. Crop (and herbicide) rotation is also effective in managing weed resistance where herbicides of dif- ferent modes of action are used. Tillage, where practical (such as in fallow production or before planting), is also effective in controlling weeds to minimize resistance development. Additionally, a burndown herbicide during fallow or before planting is also effective in reducing weed resistance development. Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural and mechanical (tillage) control tactics. Cultur- al control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement and optimum seeding rate/row spacing. Consult your local BASF representative, state coop- erative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds. Chemical Control • Start clean with tillage or an effective burn-down herbicide program. • DO NOT rely on a single herbicide mode of action for weed control. • Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage specifications. • The use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended to reduce early season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications. • Avoid application of herbicides with the same mode of action more than twice a season. • Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other herbicides possessing different modes of action that are also effective on the target weeds. Scouting and Containment • Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas where weed control was ineffective. • Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a different mode of action or use a mechanical control measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively. • Scout fields before herbicide application to ensure herbicides and rates will be optimum for the weed species and weed sizes present. Consider application and environmental factors that may have led to incomplete control. • Contact your herbicide supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report weed escapes. • Clean equipment before moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant weeds. Mixing Instructions Applications of Clearmax require the addition of an appropriate surfactant AND nitrogen fertilizer. Adjuvants Surfactants. Use a nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredi- ent. Apply the surfactant at 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution (0.25% volume/volume [v/v]). AND Nitrogen Fertilizer. Nitrogen-based fertilizers include liquid fertilizers (such as liquid ammonium sulfate [AMS], 28% N, 32% N, or 10-34-0) at 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of spray solution. Instead of a liquid fertilizer, spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at 12 to 15 pounds per 100 gallons of spray solution. Ammonium sulfate/nitrogen substitutes should not be used unless specified by BASF. Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Add the required number of Clearmax containers (the contents of one container treats between 10.7 and 16 acres) to the spray tank while agitating. Add adjuvants and fill the remainder of the tank with water. Tank Mix Combinations with Other Herbicides If other herbicides or other spray tank components are tank mixed with Clearmax, while agitating, add components in the following order and thor- oughly mix after adding each component.

1. Fill spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water.
2. Add soluble-packet products and thoroughly mix.
3. Add WP (wettable powder), DG (dispersible granule), DF (dry flowable), or liq- uid flowable formulations not in soluble packets.
4. Add Clearmax and thoroughly mix.
5. Add other aqueous solution products.
6. Add EC (emulsifiable concentrate) products.

8 7. Add surfactant to the spray tank. 8. Add nitrogen fertilizer. 9. While agitating, fill the remainder of the tank with water. Evaluate potential tank mixes for compatibility using a simple jar test before actual tank mixing. To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for Clearmax® herbicide applications must be drained and thoroughly cleaned with water before being used to apply other products. When Clearmax is used in a tank mix with another herbicide, refer to the respective label for rates, methods of application, proper timing, weeds con- trolled, restrictions, and precautions. Always use in accordance with the most restrictive label restrictions and precautions. No label dosages may be exceed- ed. DO NOT tank mix Clearmax with any product having a label prohibiting such mixtures. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each prod- uct in the tank mixture. Spraying Instructions DO NOT apply when wind conditions may result in drift, when temperature inversion conditions exist, or when spray may be carried to sensitive crops. Sensitive crops include, but are not limited to, leafy vegetables and sugar beets. Ground Application Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 10 or more gal- lons of water per acre and a spray pressure of 20 to 40 PSI. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre when applying Clearmax to minimum-till or no-till crops. Use higher gallonage (>20 GPA) for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues. Adjust the boom height to ensure proper coverage of weed foliage (according to the manufacturer’s instructions). Use appropriate nozzle tips to ensure ade- quate coverage. DO NOT overlap when spraying. Ground Application with Low-volume Sprayer Clearmax may be applied with a low-volume sprayer. When applying Clearmax with a low-volume sprayer, spray weeds before they reach the maximum size or tiller number listed in this label. Weed control depends on thorough spray cover- age of the weeds. The sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the specified spray volume and pressure to ensure thorough spray coverage of the weeds. When applying Clearmax with a low-volume sprayer, apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of spray solution with a nozzle pressure between 40 to 60 PSI for optimum coverage. Aerial Application Clearmax may be applied by air to crops listed on this label. Uniformly apply with properly calibrated equipment in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. The addition of a surfactant AND nitrogen fertilizer are required for optimum weed control. Nonuniform applications of Clearmax through aerial equipment may increase Clearfield ® crop response (stunting, chlorosis), especially when applied to large slopes and hills. All risks associated with nonuniform applications shall be assumed by the user. Mandatory Spray Drift Management Ground Boom Applications • User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manu- facturer, but no more than 3 ft above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Aerial Applications • DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. • If the windspeed is 10 mph or less, applicators must use 1/2 swath dis- placement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11 to 15 mph, applicators must use 3/4 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

9 Spray Drift Advisories THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Importance of Droplet Size An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom • Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the applica- tion. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. • Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended applica- tion. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented par- allel with the airflow in flight. Boom Height - Ground Boom • Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. • For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. Release Height - Aircraft • Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. Shielded Sprayers • Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uni- form deposition of the spray on the target area. Temperature and Humidity • When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. Temperature Inversions • Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inver- sion can be indicated by ground fog or 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. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. Wind • Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. • Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. Apply only when wind speed is 2 to 10 mph at the application site. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors deter- mines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. Application Information Use the entire contents of this container to treat the specified number of acres. Apply Clearmax ® herbicide as a postemergence treatment when weeds are actively growing and before they exceed the maximum specified size (see Weeds Controlled or Suppressed tables). Delay appli- cation until the majority of the weeds are at the specified growth stage. Application timing should be based primarily on Clearfield ® wheat growth stage. In general, Clearmax should be applied when weeds are small and actively growing. A surfactant and a nitrogen fertilizer must be added to the spray solution for optimum weed control activity. See Adjuvants in the Mixing Instructions section for specific instructions. When Clearmax is applied postemergence, absorption will occur through both the roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds stop growing and die or are not com- petitive with the crop. Clearmax not only controls many existing broadleaf and grass weeds when applied postemergence, it also controls or suppresses sus- ceptible broadleaf weeds that may emerge shortly after application. Weeds are controlled when actively growing. Under cold temperature condi- tions (less than 40° F maximum daytime temperature), weed control may be reduced. Apply Clearmax a minimum of 1 hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation.

10 Clearfield ® Wheat Clearmax® herbicide can be applied postemergence on Clearfield wheat (imidazolinone- tolerant wheat) varieties. Apply only on wheat varieties labeled “Clearfield ” and warranted by the seed supplier to possess tolerance to direct application of Clearmax. DO NOT apply Clearmax to wheat varieties that lack resistance/tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides. Contact your seed sup- plier, chemical dealer, or BASF to obtain information regarding Clearfield wheat varieties. Apply Clearmax as an early postemergence treatment when weeds are actively growing and before broadleaf weeds exceed a height of 3 inches and grasses exceed 4 to 5 leaves (unless otherwise indicated). Under cold temperature conditions (less than 40° F maximum daytime tem- perature), weed control may be less than optimal. A thin stand of wheat may result in unacceptable weed control. Clearmax is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage and conventional tillage wheat production systems. Delay application until the majority of weeds are at the specified growth stage. When a mixture of grasses and broadleaf weeds are present, time application to grass weeds for optimum control. When adequate soil moisture is present, Clearmax provides residual activity of susceptible germinating broadleaf weeds. Occasionally, reduction in plant height or temporary yellowing of crop plants may occur after Clearmax applications. These effects can be more pro- nounced in spray overlap areas and/or if crops are growing under stressful environmental conditions (such as, but not limited to, drought, excessive mois- ture, improper fertility, improper varietal adaptation, poor planting conditions, etc.). To avoid possible crop injury, DO NOT apply Clearmax to Clearfield wheat when extreme cold temperatures (less than 40° F maximum daytime temperature) are expected within 1 week of application. Crop response associ- ated with stress conditions and overlaps shall be the responsibility of the user. Weed control is optimized when Clearmax is applied to actively growing wheat. Plant a locally adapted Clearfield variety at the normal seeding rate for your geography. Apply to wheat after tiller initiation has begun and before the jointing stage of growth (when weeds are at the appropriate size). See Weeds Controlled or Suppressed tables. Restrictions and Limitations DO NOT forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within 7 days of slaughter. DO NOT forage or graze dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after treatment. Applying Clearmax to weeds that have been grazed may result in reduced weed control. For optimum weed control, allow a period of 7 days between the end of grazing and Clearmax application to allow weed regrowth. Wait until new growth of weeds is evident before applying Clearmax in fields that have been grazed. Clearfield® Spring Wheat Application Timing for Spring Wheat Apply Clearmax to Clearfield spring wheat at 4-leaf to before jointing. See Weeds Controlled or Suppressed tables for specific growth stages. Use Rate for Spring Wheat Apply at the 12.8 acre rate (15 fluid ounces of Clearmax per acre). See Weeds Controlled or Suppressed tables for detailed use rate specifications. An approved surfactant and nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray solution for optimum weed control activity. See Adjuvants in the Mixing Instructions section for specific instructions. Crop-specific Restrictions and Limitations DO NOT apply more than the 12.8 acre rate (15 fluid ounces of Clearmax per acre) during the growing season.

Specific Weed Problems Winter wheat ONLY. Clearmax® herbicide is most effective for grass and broadleaf weed control when applied in the fall. If summer annual broadleaf weeds germinate in the spring (following a fall application of Clearmax), a broadleaf herbicide application may be needed. If the Clearmax application is made in the spring, the broadleaf herbicide may be tank mixed with Clearmax. For improved suppression of grasses such as feral rye, Italian ryegrass, and downy brome, use higher rates of nitrogen fertilizer up to 5% by volume or 15 lbs per 100 gallons of spray solution. Higher rates of nitrogen fertilizer can improve grass weed control with Clearmax; especially under drought stress conditions, additional crop response may be observed. Cereals, volunteer (barley, oat and wheat). Clearmax controls emerged volunteer cereals only and only emerged non- Clearfield wheat. Feral rye (cereal, volunteer rye). Clearmax suppresses emerged feral rye only. Apply to feral rye before the first tiller forms. When feral rye develops tillers, suppression is significantly reduced. In winter wheat, if feral rye germinates in the fall, an application of Clearmax in the fall provides the best suppression. If feral rye germinates following an application of Clearmax in the fall, a spring application of Clearmax or Beyond ® herbicide may be necessary for sup- pression of subsequent germination flushes. Italian ryegrass. Clearmax suppresses emerged Italian ryegrass only. Under favorable growing conditions, ryegrass may germinate over several weeks (especially in the southern U.S.). Clearmax does not provide residual control of Italian ryegrass. Optimum application timing is to ryegrass with 3 to 4 leaves and before the first tiller. Suppression is reduced when tillers develop. In the Pacific Northwest, a spring application of Clearmax is specified to achieve the most consistent suppression. In winter wheat, if Italian ryegrass germinates fol- lowing a fall application, a spring application may be necessary. Apply the higher specified rate when Italian ryegrass is at the maximum specified size, or to heavy grass populations. Kochia (resistant biotype). Naturally occurring ALS-resistant biotypes of kochia are common in wheat fields. In many cases, a tank mix with Clearmax will be required for acceptable control. If Clearmax is applied in the spring, apply Clearmax in tank mix with a herbicide(s) labeled to control kochia (i.e. bromoxynil). Apply to kochia 2 inches tall or less. Wild buckwheat. For enhanced control of wild buckwheat, add Starane ® herbicide or bromoxynil to the tank mixture. Apply to wild buckwheat with no more than 2 true leaves. Wild oats. Clearmax controls emerged wild oats only. Under favorable grow- ing conditions, wild oats may germinate over several weeks. Clearmax does not provide residual control of wild oats.

15 Tank Mix Herbicide Combinations with Clearmax Tank mixes for postemergence applications of Clearmax® herbicide on Clearfield ® wheat varieties are bromoxynil and Starane® herbicide. Limit bromoxynil applications to 0.5 lb/acre of active ingredient when tank mixed with Clearmax. Sulfonylurea herbicides should not be tank mixed with Clearmax. Clearmax tank mixes with sulfonylurea herbicides may result in unacceptable crop response. When Clearmax is tank mixed, refer to the respective label for rates, methods and timing of application, weeds controlled, restrictions, and precautions. Always use in accordance with the most restrictive label use directions and pre- cautions. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Rotational Crop Restrictions Rotational crops may be planted after applying the specified rate of Clearmax in the regions as indicated on the map. • Region 1 - States and parts of states WEST of U.S. Highway 83 (Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and western parts of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas). • Region 2 - States and parts of states EAST of U.S. Highway 83 (includes eastern parts of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and states EAST of these states).

If the soil pH is less than 6.2, the rotational interval is 26 months. Sugar beet yields can be reduced when grown in soil conditions with a pH less than 6.2. If the soil is limed to adju st the soil pH, apply the lime at least 18 months before planting sugar beets or other rotational crops under the 18-month rotational interval. 3 For sugar beets grown in parts of Nebraska west of U.S. Highway 83 and Platte, Goshen, and Laramie counties in Wyoming, follow the sugar beet rotational crop restrictions for Region 2 for sprinkler- irrigated fields only. If fields are dryland, flood-irrigated, or furrow-irrigated, follow restrictions for Region 1. A minimum of 10 inches of overhead irrigation must be applied each season to qualify for Region 2 guidelines. 4 Planting non-Clearfield spring or winter wheat in areas receiving less than 10 inches of precipitation from the time of Clearmax application up until wheat planting may result in wheat injury. The pos- sibility of injury increases if less than normal precipitation occurs from the time of application to planting and/or within th e first 2 months after Clearmax application. 5 In Region 1 and Region 2, non-Clearfield lentil may be planted 9 months after an application of Clearmax if no more than the 12.8 acre rate of Clearmax has been applied and the soil pH is uni- formly more than 6.2.

R+I = Rainfall and overhead irrigation from the time of Clearmax® herbicide application up until time of barley, potato, or non-Clearfield wheat planting. Does not include furrow or flood irrigation. If the rainfall or pH requirements are not fully met and barley or non- Clearfield wheat is planted before the specified rotational interval, injury may be reduced by tillage, such as deep disking (more than 6-inches deep) after crop harvest but before November 1. The possibility of injury to barley or non- Clearfield wheat planted the next sea- son increases if less than normal precipitation occurs from the time of Clearmax application to planting and/or within the first two months after Clearmax application . Furrow-irrigated and Flood-irrigated Crops Following harvest of furrow-irrigated or flood-irrigated crops, thoroughly mix soil by plowing or deep disking to minimize the potential for herbicide carryover to the following crop. Use of Clearmax in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environ- mental and agronomic factors, such as arid conditions, make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rota- tional crop injury is always possible. Use Precautions In the event of a crop loss due to weather, peas or Clearfield and Clearfield ® Plus wheat can be replanted. DO NOT make an additional application of Clearmax. Application of products containing chlorimuron ethyl ( Canopy® herbicide), metsulfuron-methyl (Harmony® Extra herbicide ), imazaquin (Scepter® 70 DG herbicide), or imazethapyr (Pursuit® herbicide) the same year as Clearmax may increase the risk of injury to sensitive rotational crops. Consult all pertinent labels for specific use of these products in combinations. If arid conditions occur during the year of application, rotational crop injury may occur.
