GENERAL INFORMATION 

This product is a postemergence, systemic herbicide with no soil residual activity. It is generally non-selective and gives broad-spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds,woody brush and trees. It is formulated as a water-soluble liquid. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water or other carriers according to label instructions. Time to Symptoms This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant, which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Effects are visible on most annual weeds within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds effects may not be visible for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Stage of Weeds Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. 

Refer to the "ANNUAL WEEDS", "PERENNIAL WEEDS" and "WOODY BRUSH AND TREES RATE SECTIONS" for specific weed recommendations. Always use the higher product application rate within the specified range when weed growth is heavy or dense or when weeds are growing in an undisturbed (non-cultivated) area. Reduced weed control may result from treating weeds with disease or insect damage, weeds heavily covered with dust, or weeds under poor growing conditions. Cultural Considerations Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the specified stage for treatment. Rainfastness Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate control. Spray Coverage For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray foliage to the point of runoff. Mode of Action The active ingredient in this product inhibits an enzyme found only in plants and microorganisms that is essential to the formation of specific amino acids. No Soil Activity Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product. Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by this herbicide and will continue to grow. Biological Degradation Degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil microbes

Annual Maximum Application Rates The maximum application or use rates stated throughout this product's labeling are given in units of volume (fluid ounces, pints, or quarts) of this product per acre. However, the maximum allowed application rates apply to this product combined with the use of any and all other herbicides containing the active ingredient glyphosate, whether applied separately or as tank mixtures, on a basis of total pounds of glyphosate (acid equivalents) per acre. If more than one glyphosate-containing product is applied to the same site within the same year, you must ensure that the total use of glyphosate does not exceed the maximum allowed. See the "INGREDIENTS" section of this label for necessary product information. Except as otherwise specified in a crop section of this label, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 8 quarts of this product (6 pounds of glyphosate acid) per acre per year. For applications in non-crop sites or in tree, vine, or shrub crops, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 10.6 quarts of this product (8 pounds of glyphosate acid) per acre per year. 

ATTENTION AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH FOLIAGE, GREEN STEMS, EXPOSED NON-WOODY ROOTS OR FRUIT OF CROPS, DESIRABLE PLANTS AND TREES, BECAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DESTRUCTION MAY RESULT. AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destruction to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was not intended. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product increases when winds are gusty, as wind velocity increases, when wind direction is constantly changing or when there are other meteorological conditions that favor spray drift. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) that are likely to drift. AVOID APPLYING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED OR PRESSURE. NOTE: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this label may result in injury to persons, animals or crops, or have other unintended consequences. 

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 9 herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 9 herbicides. Weed species resistant to Group 9 herbicides may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group or by using other cultural or mechanical practices. General Weed Management Recommendations To minimize the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant biotypes observe the following general weed management recommendations: • Scout your fields before and after herbicide applications. • Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small. • Add other herbicides (e.g. a selective and/or a residual herbicide) and cultural practices (e.g. tillage or crop rotation) where appropriate. • One method for adding other herbicides into a continuous Roundup Ready system is to rotate to other Roundup Ready crops. • Utilize the specified label rate for the most difficult to control weed in your field. Avoid tank mixtures with other herbicides that reduce this product's efficacy (through antagonism), or tank mixture recommendations that encourage application rates of this product below the label recommendations. • Control weed escapes and prevent weeds from setting seeds. • Clean equipment before moving from field to field to minimize the spread of weed seed or plant parts. • Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible. • Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your county extension agent. Management Recommendations for Glyphosate-Resistant Biotypes Note: Appropriate testing is critical in order to determine if a weed is resistant to glyphosate. Contact your local county extension agent or visit the following websites www.weedresistancemanagement.com or www.weedscience.org. 

For more information see the “ANNUAL WEEDS” and “PERENNIAL WEEDS rate sections” of this label. Since the occurrence of new glyphosate-resistant weeds cannot be determined until after product use and scientific confirmation, Control Solutions, Inc. is not responsible for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control glyphosate-resistant weeds biotypes. The following good agronomic practices are specified to reduce the spread of confirmed glyphosate-resistant biotypes: • If a naturally occurring resistant biotype is present in your field, this product should be tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriately labeled herbicide with a different mode of action to achieve control. • Cultural and mechanical control practices (e.g. crop rotation or tillage) may also be used as appropriate. • One method for adding other herbicides into a continuous Roundup Ready system is to rotate to other Roundup Ready crops. • Scout treated fields after herbicide applications and control escaping weeds including resistant biotypes before they set seed. • Thoroughly clean equipment before leaving fields known to contain resistant biotypes. MIXING Spray solutions of this product should be mixed, stored and applied using only clean stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass, plastic or plastic-lined steel containers.

Read and follow all label directions of all products in the tank mixture. Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly specified in this labeling, or in separate supplemental labeling for this product. 

Tank mixtures with other herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, micronutrients or foliar fertilizers may result in reduced weed control or crop injury and are NOT specified for applications of this product unless otherwise noted in this product label, or in separate supplemental labeling. 

When a tank mixture with a generic active ingredient, such as diuron, atrazine, 2,4-D or dicamba, is specified in this label, the user is responsible for ensuring that the specific application being made is included on the label of the specific product being used in the tank mixture. Refer to all individual product labels, supplemental labeling and fact sheets for all products in the tank mixture, and observe all precautions and limitations on the label, including application timing restrictions, soil restrictions, minimum re-cropping interval and rotational guidelines. Use according to the most restrictive label requirements. Always predetermine the compatibility of all tank-mix products together in the carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. 

For best results, it is specified that tank mixtures with this product be applied at a minimum spray volume rate of 10 gallons per acre. Tank Mixing Procedure Prepare tank mixtures of this product as follows: 

1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over the filling port of the tank. 

2. Through the screen, fill the tank one-half full with water and start gentle agitation. 

3. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it slowly through the screen into the tank, and continue adding water into the tank through the screen. If dry ammonium sulfate is being used, ensure that it is completely dissolved in the tank before adding other products. 

4. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with the water, and add it SLOWLY through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 

5. If a flowable formulation is used, premix one part flowable with one part water, and add the diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 

6. If an emulsifiable concentrate formulation is used, premix one part emulsifiable concentrate with two parts water, and add the diluted mixture slowly through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 

7. Continue filling the tank with water through the screen and add the required amount of this product near the end of the filling process. 

8. If a nonionic surfactant is used, add it to the tank before completing the filling process. 

9. Add individual formulations to the spray tank as follows: wettable powder, flowable, emulsifiable concentrate, drift control additive, water-soluble liquids (this product) followed by surfactant. Maintain gentle agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed out. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying. Keep by-pass and return lines on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Mixing for Hand-Held Sprayers Prepare the desired spray volume by mixing the amount of this product as indicated in the following table in water:

For use in backpack sprayers, it is specified that the appropriate amount of this product be mixed with water in a larger container and then fill the sprayer with the mixed solution. Surfactants Nonionic surfactants (NIS) or wetting agents that have at least 70 percent active ingredient and are labeled for use with herbicides may be added to the spray solution, unless otherwise directed. Do not reduce rates of this herbicide when adding surfactants. Read and carefully observe cautionary statements and other information appearing on the additives label. Ammonium Sulfate The addition of 1 to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water may increase the performance of this product on annual and perennial weeds, particularly under hard water conditions, drought conditions or when tank mixed with certain residual herbicides. 

The equivalent rate of ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also be used. Ensure that dry ammonium sulfate is completely dissolved in the spray tank before adding herbicides. Thoroughly rinse the spray system with clean water after use to reduce corrosion. NOTE: When using ammonium sulfate, apply this product at rates specified in this label. Lower rates will result in reduced performance. Colorants or Dyes Colorants or marking dyes may be added to spray solutions of this product; however, they can reduce performance. Use colorants or dyes according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Drift Reduction Additives Drift reduction additives may be used with all equipment types, except wiper applicators, sponge bars and Controlled Droplet Applicator (CDA) equipment. When a drift reduction additive is used, read and carefully observe the precautions, limitations, and all other information appearing on the additive label. Use of drift reduction additives can affect spray coverage, which can reduce product performance.

AERIAL EQUIPMENT

DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS LABEL. All labeled treatments may be made by aerial equipment where appropriate, provided that the applicator complies with the precautions and restrictions specified on this product's labeling. Use the specified rates of this herbicide in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre unless otherwise specified on this label. Unless otherwise specified, do not exceed 2 quarts per acre. Refer to the individual use area sections of this label for further instructions. This product, when tank mixed with dicamba, may not be applied by air in California. When tank-mixing this product with 2,4-D, only 2,4-D amine formulations may be used for aerial application in California. Tank mixtures with 2,4-D amine formulations may be applied by air in California for fallow and reduced tillage systems, and for alfalfa and pasture renovation applications only. Ensure uniform application – to avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices. Aircraft Maintenance Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. 

PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. Maintaining an organic coating (paint) that meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413 may help prevent corrosion. Aerial Spray Drift Management The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement during aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 1. The distance of the outermost 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. Comply with all State regulations where applicable. Importance of 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 (read the following sections on "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 the higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

• Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures specified for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing spray pressure. 

• Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. 

• Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream, will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the 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 larger droplets than other nozzle types. 

• 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 must 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 the exposure of the 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 speed, smaller droplets, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Application should be avoided when wind speeds are below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.

NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect 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

Temperature Inversions Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential 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. 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, the movement of smoke produced by a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify temperature inversions. 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. Sensitive Areas Apply this product only 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 away from the sensitive areas). Avoid direct application to any body of water. 

Ground Broadcast Equipment 

Apply the product rates specified in this label in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases, spray volume should be increased within the specified range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles to avoid generating a fine mist. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat spray nozzles. Check spray pattern for uniform distribution. Hand-Held or Backpack Equipment Apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled on a spray-to-wet basis; do not spray to the point of run-off. Spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Use coarse sprays only. For specific rates and timing, refer to the "ANNUAL WEEDS–HAND-HELD OR BACKPACK EQUIPMENT" section of this product label. 

For low-volume directed spray applications, spray coverage should be uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage contacted. Coverage of the top one-half of the plant is important for best results. To ensure adequate spray coverage, spray both sides of large or tall woody brush and trees, when foliage is thick and dense, or where there are multiple sprouts. Selective Equipment This product may be diluted in water and applied through shielded sprayers, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or sponge bars to weeds growing in any non-crop site specified on this label. In cropping systems, hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, and wipers may be used in row middles (in between rows of crop plants), and wipers may be used over-the-top of crops only when specified in this product's labeling. Such equipment must be capable of preventing all crop contact with the herbicide solutions and operated without leakage of spray mists or dripping onto crop. AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact of this product with desirable vegetation may result in unwanted plant damage or destruction. Crop injury may occur when the foliage of treated weeds comes into contact with leaves of the crop. Do not apply this product when crop leaves are growing in direct contact with weeds to be treated. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution settling onto desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat treatment may be necessary. Shielded and Hooded Sprayers When applied as directed under conditions described for shielded applicators, this product will control those weeds listed in the "ANNUAL WEEDS RATE SECTION" and "PERENNIAL WEEDS RATE SECTION" of this label. Use the following equation to convert from a broadcast rate per acre to a band rate per acre. 

Band width in inches X Herbicide Broadcast RATE = Herbicide Band RATE Row width in inches per acre per acre Band width in inches X Broadcast VOLUME of solution = Band VOLUME of solution Row width in inches per acre per acre A hooded sprayer is a type of shielded applicator where the spray pattern is fully enclosed including top, sides, front and back, thereby shielding the crop from the spray solution. Adjust the shields on these sprayers to protect desirable vegetation. When applying to crops grown on raised beds, ensure that the hood is capable of completely enclosing the spray pattern. If necessary, extend the front and rear flaps of the hooded applicator downward to reach the ground in deep furrows. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. This equipment must be configured and operated in a manner that minimizes bouncing and avoids raising the hoods up off the ground at any time. If the hood is raised, spray particles may escape and come into contact with the crop, causing damage or destruction of the crop. Avoid operating this equipment on rough or sloping terrain where the spray hoods might be raised up off the ground surface. Use hoods designed to minimize excessive dripping or run-off down the insides of the hoods. A single, low pressure low-drift flat-fan nozzle with an 80 to 95 degree spray angle positioned at the top center of the hood is specified. Spray volume should be 20-30 gallons per acre. 

These procedures will reduce the potential for crop injury: 

• Spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground surface. 

• Leave at least an 8-inch untreated strip over the drill row. (For example, if the crop row width is 38 inches, the maximum width of the spray hood should be 30 inches.) 

• Operate at ground speeds of no greater than 5 miles per hour to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. • Apply when wind speeds are 10 miles per hour or less. 

• Use low-drift nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. 

Crop injury may occur when foliage of treated weeds comes into direct contact with leaves of the crop. Do not apply this product when leaves of the crop are growing in direct contact with weeds to be treated. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution settling onto desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Wiper Applicators Wiper applicators are devices that physically wipe appropriate amounts of this product directly onto the weed. Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Application equipment used over the top of desirable vegetation should be adjusted so that the wiper contact point is at least 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds should be a minimum of 6 inches above the desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator to ensure adequate contact with weeds. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. Poor contact may occur when weeds are growing in dense clumps, in severe weed infestations or when weed height varies dramatically. In these instances, repeat treatments may be necessary. Operate this equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 miles per hour. 

Performance may be improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to provide adequate wiper saturation with the herbicide solution. Better results may be obtained when two applications are made in opposite directions. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution settling onto desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware that on sloping ground the herbicide solution may migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of the wiper applicator. Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.

Mix only the amount of this product to be used during a 1-day period, as reduced product performance may result from use of solutions held in storage. Clean wiper parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with water. Do not add surfactant to the herbicide solution. For Rope or Sponge Wick Applicators: Use solutions ranging from 33 to 75 percent of this product in water. For Panel Applicators: Use solutions ranging from 33 to 100 percent of this product in water. Injection Systems This product may be used in aerial or ground injection spray systems. It may be used as a liquid concentrate or diluted prior to injecting into the spray stream. Do not mix this product with the concentrate of other products for use in injection systems. CDA Equipment The rate of this product applied per acre by vehicle-mounted controlled droplet applicator (CDA) equipment must not be less than the amount specified in this label when applied by conventional broadcast equipment. For vehicle-mounted CDA equipment, apply in 2 to 15 gallons of water per acre. 

For control of annual weeds with hand-held CDA units, apply a 20 percent solution of this product at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 mph (1 quart per acre). For the control of perennial weeds, apply a 20 to 40 percent solution of this product at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking speed of 0.35 mph (2 to 4 quarts per acre). Controlled droplet applicators produce a spray pattern that is not easily visible. Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray or drift onto the foliage or any other green tissue of desirable vegetation, as damage or destruction of the plant may result.

GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS: 

Apply this product during fallow intervals preceding planting, prior to planting or transplanting, at-planting, or preemergence to annual and perennial crops listed in this label, except where specifically limited. For any crop not listed in this label, applications must be made at least 30 days prior to planting. Unless otherwise specified, weed control applications may be made according to the rates listed in the "ANNUAL WEEDS", "PERENNIAL WEEDS", AND "WOODY BRUSH AND TREES RATE SECTIONS" in this label. Specific rates of this product that are emphasized in this product's labeling to control tough weeds take precedence over the general rates in the "ANNUAL WEEDS" and "PERENNIAL WEEDS RATE SECTIONS". Repeat applications may be made up to a maximum of 8 quarts of this product per acre per year. Post-directed hooded sprayers and wiper applicators capable of preventing all crop contact with herbicide solutions may be used in mulched or unmulched row middles after crop establishment.Where specifically noted in the individual crop sections that follow, wipers may also be used above certain crops to control tall weeds. Refer to the "SELECTIVE EQUIPMENT" section of this label for essential precautions regarding crop injury. Crop injury is possible with these applications and shall be the sole responsibility of the applicator. All labeled treatments may be made by aerial equipment where appropriate, provided that the applicator complies with the precautions and restrictions specified in this product's labeling. Refer to the "AERIAL EQUIPMENT" section of this label for additional information. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Avoid contact of this herbicide with foliage, green shoots or stems, bark, exposed roots (including those emerging from plastic mulch), or fruit of crops as severe crop injury or destruction may result. When making at-planting and pre emergent applications, applications must be made before crop emergence to avoid severe crop injury. Broadcast applications made at emergence will result in injury or death of emerged seedlings. Apply before seed germination in coarse sandy soils to further minimize the risk of injury. Unless otherwise specified in this product's labeling, treatments with selective equipment including wipers and hooded sprayers must be made at least 14 days prior to harvest. Post-harvest or fallow applications must be made at least 30 days prior to planting any crops not listed on this label. See "APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES" section of this label for additional information. In crops where spot treatments are allowed, do not treat more than 10 percent of the total field to be harvested. Crop sprayed in treated area will be killed. Take care not to spray or allow spray to drift outside the target area in order to avoid unwanted crop destruction. For broadcast postemergence treatments, do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks following application, unless otherwise specified.

ANNUAL WEEDS RATE SECTION (See complete crop-specific instructions on physical label)

When water carrier volumes are between 16 and 40 gallons per acre for ground applications and between 6 and 15 gallons per acre for aerial applications, the following use rates will control the annual weeds listed in the table below: 

• 1 quart per acre – grass and broadleaf annual weeds less than 6 inches in height or circumference and vines less than 3 inches in length. 

• 3 pints per acre – grass and broadleaf annual weeds 6 to 12 inches in height or circumference and vines 3 to 6 inches in length. 

• 2 quarts per acre – grass and broadleaf annual weeds greater than 12 inches in height or circumference and vines greater than 6 inches in length. WHEN WATER CARRIER VOLUMES ARE BETWEEN 3 AND 15 GALLONS PER ACRE FOR GROUND APPLICATIONS AND BETWEEN 3 AND 5 GALLONS PER ACRE FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS, USE THE RATES SPECIFIED FOR INDIVIDUAL WEEDS AS FOLLOW IN THE “ANNUAL WEEDS RATE TABLE (Alphabetically by Species)”. 

Apply to actively growing annual weeds. Annual weeds are generally easiest to control when they are small. Older, mature (hardened) annual weed species may require higher rates even if they meet the size requirements. Maximum size refers to the maximum plant height, length of runners for vines, or circumference of rosette plants in inches. 

Do not tank mix with soil residual herbicides when using these rates unless otherwise specified. For weeds that have been mowed, grazed or cut, allow regrowth to occur prior to treatment. This product may be used up to 64 fluid ounces per acre where heavy weed densities exist

Annual Weeds – Tank Mixtures with 2,4-D or Dicamba or Tordon 22K Better control of certain tough weeds can be achieved by tank mixing this product with 0.25 pound of dicamba, 0.5 pound of 2,4-D or 1 to 2 fluid ounces of Tordon 22K per acre. These other herbicides, combined with the rates of this product specified in the “ANNUAL WEEDS RATE TABLE” (on physical label), will control the following weeds up to the maximum height or length indicated: 6"–prickly lettuce, marestail/horseweed, morning glory, kochia (dicamba only), wild buckwheat (Tordon 22K only); 12"–cocklebur, lambsquarters, pigweed, Russian thistle (2,4-D only). For better control of common ragweed, giant ragweed, Pennsylvania smartweed, or velvetleaf with a maximum height of 6 inches, tank mix this product with 0.5 pound of 2,4-D per acre. Ensure that the specific product is registered for application at the desired site. Follow all precautions and limitations on the tank mix product’s label, including application timing restrictions, soil restrictions, minimum re-cropping interval and rotational guidelines. Some crop injury may occur if dicamba or Tordon 22K is applied within 45 days of planting. 

DO NOT APPLY DICAMBA TANK MIXTURES BY AIR IN CALIFORNIA. Annual Weeds – Hand-Held or Backpack Equipment 14.3 Annual Weeds – Tank Mixtures with Atrazine for Fallow and Reduced Tillage Systems For control of weeds listed in the “ANNUAL WEEDS RATE TABLE” (on physical label), apply a 0.5-percent solution of this product to weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner length. Apply prior to seedhead formation in grass or bud formation in broadleaf weeds. 

For annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or unless otherwise specified, use a 1-percent solution. 

For best results, use a 2-percent solution on harder-to-control perennials, such as Bermudagrass, dock, field bindweed, hemp dogbane, milkweed and Canada thistle. 

When using application methods that result in less than complete coverage, use a 5-percent solution for annual and perennial weeds and a 5- to 10-percent solution for woody brush and trees. For use only in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington. In Oregon and Washington, do not exceed 1 pound of atrazine per acre. - 33 - 114007 Eraser AP 2.5g BK.indd 33 2/3/16 2:21 PM Applications of 24 to 28 fluid ounces of this product plus 1 to 2 pounds of atrazine per acre will control the following weeds: Barnyardgrass (requires 28 ounces for control), Downy brome, Green foxtail, Lambsquarters, Prickly lettuce, Tansy mustard, Pigweed, Field sandbur, Stinkgrass, Russian thistle, Volunteer wheat, Witchgrass and Kochia (add 0.12 pound of dicamba for control). Ensure that the specific product is registered for application at the desired site. Follow all precautions and limitations on the tank mix product's label, including application timing restrictions, soil restrictions, minimum re-cropping interval and rotational guidelines. 

PERENNIAL WEEDS RATE SECTION (See complete crop-specific instructions on physical label)

Apply to actively growing perennial weeds. NOTE: If weeds have been mowed or tilled, do not treat until plants have resumed active growth and have reached the specified stages. Repeat treatments may be necessary to control weeds regenerating from underground parts or seed. Repeat treatments must be made prior to crop emergence. Unless otherwise stated, allow 7 or more days after application before tillage. Best results are obtained when soil moisture is adequate for active weed growth.
