Environmental Hazards
DO NOT apply directly to water, or 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 washwaters or rinsate. This chemical is
known to leach through soil into groundwater under cer-
tain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
 contamination.
Groundwater and Surface Water Protection
Point-source contamination. To prevent point-source
contamination, DO NOT mix/load this pesticide product
within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and
drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams
and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs.
DO NOT apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells.
This setback does not apply to properly capped or
plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervi-
ous pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas as
described below.
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the
pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface
water ﬂow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be
maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container

Status® herbicide is a selective postemergence herbi-
cide for control of annual broadleaf weeds, control or
suppression of many perennial broadleaf weeds, and sup-
pression of annual grass weeds found in corn. Use Status
sequentially or tank mix with a grass herbicide for a com-
plete weed control program (refer to Tank Mixing
Information).
Weeds Controlled
Status will provide postemergence control of annual and
biennial broadleaf weeds and control or suppression of
many perennial broadleaf weeds including ALS-resistant
1
and triazine-resistant biotypes.
Status provides suppression of annual grass weeds at
appropriate rates. Emerged grass up to 3-inches tall will
cease growing but may remain green for weeks after appli-
cation. Regrowth of grass is limited when crop canopies
over row middles.
1 ALS (acetolactate synthase)-resistant weeds include those weeds
resistant to the sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, and/or sulfonamide family
of herbicides.

1 Partially controlled or suppressed
2 Status ® herbicide provides suppression of annual grass weeds at
appropriate rates (5 ozs per acre or greater). Emerged grass weeds up
to 3 inches tall will cease growing but may remain green for weeks after
application. Regrowth of grass weeds is limited when corn canopies
over row middles.
Mode of Action
Status is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is
translocated to the growing points of sensitive weeds to
provide postemergence control of emerged weeds and
moderate residual control of germinating weeds. Status
controls weeds by auxin-transport inhibition and auxin-
agonist modes of action.
Treated weeds will stop growing soon after application.
Broadleaf weeds will display epinastic twisting and crin-
kling symptoms before becoming necrotic. Suppressed
grass weeds may display some epinasty and remain stunt-
ed and green.
Weed Resistance Management
While weed resistance to herbicides is infrequent, popula-
tions of resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance

6
management should be part of a diversiﬁed weed control
strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi-
cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics.
Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz-
er placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and
timely tillage.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to
this product, follow these steps where practical:
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi-
cide program.
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed
control during the growing season.
• Scout ﬁelds before application to ensure herbicides and
rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
sizes present.
• Apply full labeled rates of Status
® herbicide for the
most difﬁcult-to-control weed in the ﬁeld at the speciﬁed
time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
• Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residu-
al control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended
to reduce early season weed competition and allow for
more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide
applications.
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season.
• Scout ﬁelds after application to detect weed escapes or
shifts in weed species.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product
against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer,
representative.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a
herbicide having a different mode of action and/or use
non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practi-
cal, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
• For more information about weeds that are known to be
resistant to dicamba go to www.Resistance-
Information.BASF.US.
Additionally, follow as many of these herbicide resistance
management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other
modes of action as a foundation in a weed control
program.
• Utilize sequential applications of effective herbicides with
alternative modes of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with herbicides having a
different mode of action.
• Avoid making more than two applications of Status and
any other Group 4 or Group 19 herbicides within a
 single growing season unless mixed with another site of
action with an overlapping spectrum for the difﬁcult-to-
control weeds.
• Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or
extension agent for ﬁnd out if suspected resistant weeds
to these sites of action have been found in your region.
DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being con-
trolled by multiple mechanisms of action. Co-formulated
active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum
of weed control. Some weeds may be controlled by only
one of the active ingredients in this product.
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed
control program.
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before
and after leaving ﬁelds suspected to contain resistant
weeds.
• Manage weeds in and around ﬁelds during and after har-
vest to reduce weed seed production.
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further
guidance on weed control practices as needed.
Crop Tolerance
Corn is very tolerant to an application of Status. Corn
growing under stress conditions, such as drought, poor
fertility, or foliar damage because of hail, wind, or insects,
can show various injury symptoms that may be more
 pronounced if Status is applied. Injury can be avoided by
agronomic practices that promote good crop growth and
minimize stress conditions, especially combinations of
stress factors.
Coverage
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf
canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate
spray coverage.
Cultivation
Avoid disturbing (e.g. tillage or cultivating) treated areas for
at least 7 days following application to allow best herbicide
uptake, translocation, and weed control.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the
manufacturer’s directions. Triple rinse the equipment
before and after applying this product.
Application Instructions
Best product performance is obtained when Status is
applied to actively growing weeds. Treated weeds will stop
growing soon after application. Broadleaf weeds will dis-
play epinastic twisting and crinkling symptoms before
becoming necrotic. Suppressed grass weeds may display
some epinasty and remain stunted and green.
Ground Application Methods and Equipment
Status, a wettable granule formulation, can be applied
using water as the spray carrier.
Water Volume. Select an appropriate spray volume that
ensures adequate coverage of the target weed species.
Use higher water volumes when treating dense or tall veg-
etation. DO NOT apply less than 3 gallons of spray volume
per acre.

7
Application Equipment. Use application equipment that
will provide good spray coverage of weed foliage. Exercise
preventive measures to avoid drift onto nontarget areas.
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind
at the downwind edge of the ﬁeld.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles
per hour at the application site. If the wind speed is
greater than 10 miles per hour, 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.
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica-
tion height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind
at the downwind edge of the ﬁeld. DO NOT apply
during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recom-
mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
above the products applied in 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 miles
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
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 application. If a
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher ﬂow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for
the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
ﬁne droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the
airﬂow in ﬂight.
Boom Height – Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
the crop and have minimal bounce.
Boom-less Ground Applications
Setting the release height at the lowest effective height will
help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
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 uniform 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. Tem-
perature 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 inversion 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 applica-
tions during temperature inversions.
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
CONDITIONS.

Spray Additives
Adjuvants must be used with Status® herbicide for con-
sistent weed control.
For best results under most conditions, combine an adju-
vant with a nitrogen source.
Rainfast Period - Status is rainfast 4 hours after appli-
cations when used with recommended adjuvants.
Adjuvant
• Crop oil concentrate (COC)
1 to 2 pints/A
• Methylated seed oil (MSO)
1 to 2 pints/A
• Nonionic surfactant (NIS)
0.25% volume/volume (v/v) or 1 quart/100 gallons
Nitrogen Source
• Ammonium sulfate (AMS)
(21% nitrogen)
5 pounds to 17 pounds/100 gallons spray mix
Before adding AMS, dissolve Status in the spray tank.
Use high-quality AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging
nozzles.
• Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN)
(28% to 34% nitrogen)
Use at least 5 quarts/100 gallons
(1.25% v/v)
Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to
galvanized steel, mild steel, and brass spray equipment,
rinse the entire spray system with water soon after use.
Compatibility Test for Tank Mix Components
1. Before mixing components, always perform a compati-
bility jar test. Begin with a quart-sized jar. Add
components in the same order as listed in Tank Mixing
Order section. Start with 3.5 cups of water from the
intended source at the source temperature. For each
dry product, add 2 teaspoons per pound of product per
acre. For each liquid product, add 1 teaspoon per pint
of product per acre.
2. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com-
ponent additions.
3. When the components have all been added to the jar,
let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
4. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface;
ﬁne particles that precipitate to the bottom; or thick
(clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that
could clog spray nozzles.
Tank Mixing Order
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
tank 1/2 full of clean water.*
2. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait
until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and
the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing.
3. Wettable powders and dry ﬂowable products
(WP , DF)
4. Water dispersible granular products (WDG) - Add
Status at this step. Status must be fully dissolved
before adding other components.
5. Ammonium sulfate (AMS)
6. Water dispersible products (SC, F, ME, CS)
7. Water soluble products
8. Emulsiﬁable concentrates (EC)
9. Adjuvants (NIS, COC, MSO, or UAN when applicable)
10. Remaining quantity of water
Maintain constant agitation during application. For more
information, refer to Tank Mixing Information . Refer to
the drift-reducing additive label for proper addition rate and
mixing order.
* User may ﬁll the spray tank from a nurse tank containing an AMS prod-
uct dissolved in water. For this method, thoroughly dissolve the AMS
product before adding Status. Status must be thoroughly dissolved
before adding additional products or additives. Verify that the AMS
premix water alternative is compatible with other tank mix components.
Tank Mixing Information
Use Status sequentially or tank mix with other herbicides
as part of a complete weed control program. Tank mix rec-
ommendations are for use only in states where the
sequential or tank mix product and application site are reg-
istered. Refer to Crop-speciﬁc Information for more
details and for speciﬁc tank mix restrictions. Local agricul-
tural authorities may be a source of information when using
other than BASF-recommended tank mixes. It is the pes-
ticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use. Read
and follow the applicable restrictions and limita-
tions and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most
restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop
injury may result from mixing Status with other pesticides
(fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), addi-
tives, or fertilizers.

Corn Use Directions
Field Corn
(grown for grain, seed, or silage)
and Popcorn
Before applying Status to popcorn or seed corn, verify the
selectivity of Status on the inbred line or hybrid with your
local seed corn company to help avoid potential injury of
sensitive lines. [Alternate text when sweet corn use is not
included on the ﬁnal print labeling: DO NOT apply to sweet
corn.]
Application Rates and Timings
Status can be applied at the timing, rates, and growth
stages listed in Table 3 in all tillage systems (e.g. conven-
tional, no-tillage, reduced tillage).
• Preplant Application in Reduced or No-till Corn
and Popcorn
Apply Status at 2.5 to 5 ozs/A at least 7 days before
planting corn. For Status rates greater than 5 ozs/A,
apply at least 14 days before corn planting. When
 planting into a legume sod (e.g. alfalfa or clover), apply
Status at 7.5 to 10 ozs/A after 4 to 6 inches of regrowth.
 Status can be applied at a rate of 2.5 to 5 ozs/A with
glyphosate herbicides at least 7 days before corn plant-
ing for preplant burndown of emerged weeds. Status, at
a rate of 2.5 to 5 ozs per acre, can be tank mixed with
2,4-D ester (0.38 to 0.5 lb ae per acre) for preplant burn-
down of emerged weeds before corn planting. See
2,4-D ester label for application rates and planting inter-
val. Use the most restrictive planting interval listed on the
2,4-D ester or Status label.
 When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always
 pre- slurry Status in water before adding to fertilizer solu-
tions. Add the Status slurry to the ﬁnal complete fertilizer
mixture. DO NOT add Status during the fertilizer mixing
process. Always use good agitation while adding the
Status slurry to liquid fertilizers and maintain good agita-
tion until sprayed. Conduct a compatibility test with all
components when using liquid fertilizers as a carrier for
Status. DO NOT use sprayable ﬂuid fertilizer as the car-
rier for Status application after corn emergence.

10
• Postemergence Application
Status® herbicide can be applied from spike to 36-inch
tall (V8) corn at rates from 5 to 10 ozs/A. [Alternate text:
Status can be applied from 4-inch (V2) to 36-inch tall
(V8) corn at rates from 5 to 10 ozs/A.]
- Apply early postemergence for best weed control and
crop yield potential.
• Status may be tank mixed with Liberty ® herbicide,
Roundup® herbicide, or glyphosate.
- Apply 2.5 to 10 ozs of Status with the tank mix
herbicides (e.g. Liberty, Roundup, or glyphosate).
- Use a minimum Status rate of 5 ozs/A for weeds resis-
tant to the tank mix herbicide (ALS-resistant,
glyphosate-resistant, HPPD, or PPO-resistant weeds),
for perennial weeds listed on Table 1, weeds taller than
6 inches, or weeds not controlled by the tank mix
partner.
- Liberty, Roundup, and glyphosate can only be used
on speciﬁcally designated corn varieties (e.g. Liberty
on LibertyLink
® corn, and Roundup or glyphosate on
Roundup Ready ® corn). DO NOT use on corn variet-
ies that are not labeled for use.
• Postharvest Application
Status can be applied from 5 to 10 ozs per acre to con-
trol annual and perennial weeds. Apply after corn harvest
and before frost. See Crop Rotation Restrictions list-
ed in Restrictions and Limitations .
• Split Application
Split applications of Status may be made during a grow-
ing season. DO NOT exceed a total of 12.5 ozs of
Status per treated acre per crop year. DO NOT apply
less than 15 days apart.
Field Corn Tank Mixes and Sequential Uses
In addition to control of many broadleaf weed species,
Status offers herbistatic suppression of several annual
grass weeds that may enhance overall control of your
grass herbicide program.
For commercial control of grass weeds, use Status as a
sequential postemergence treatment following a
preemergence grass herbicide or in tank mix combination
with a postemergence grass herbicide.
Tank Mix Recommendations
Status may be applied sequentially or in tank mixes with
other herbicides registered for use in corn with the follow-
ing limitations:
• Postemergence applications of Status are not recomm-
ended for use in tank mixes with plant growth regulating
herbicides such as products containing dicamba, 2,4-D,
or clopyralid herbicides. Additionally, sequential treat-
ments with these products should be separated by at
least 15 days.
Status may be used sequentially with all soil-applied
insecticides or used sequentially or in tank mixes with
foliar-applied insecticides with the following limitations:
Status is not recommended for use in foliar-applied tank
mixes with Lorsban
® insecticide. However, sequential
treatments with these products may be used if applica-
tions are separated by at least 7 days.

Sweet Corn
 Status® herbicide may be applied postemergence to
sweet corn hybrids grown for fresh and processing mar-
kets. Status applications may cause crop response
(e.g. leaning) in some sweet corn hybrids. Crop response
is typically transitory and has no effect on yield or quality.
However, herbicide sensitivity in sweet corn varies widely,
and all sweet corn hybrids have not been tested. Contact
your sweet corn company representative or university spe-
cialist about hybrid recommendations before making a
postemergence application of Status to sweet corn.
Application Rates and Timings
Status can be applied to sweet corn from 4 inches (V2) to
24 inches (V8) tall at a rate of 2.5 ozs/A.
Crop-speciﬁc Restrictions
• DO NOT apply Status to sweet corn growing under
stress conditions or crop injury may occur.
• DO NOT apply Status with crop oil concentrate or
methylated seed oil.
• Refer to the Field Corn Tank Mixes and Sequential
Uses section for Tank Mix Recommendations .
• Preharvest interval (PHI)
 - DO NOT apply within 32 days before sweet corn ear or
forage harvest.
 - DO NOT apply within 72 days before dry grain or sto-
ver harvest.
