General InformationThis product is a selective, broad spectrum,postemergence herbicide for control of annualandperennialgrassweeds.Thisproductdoesnotcontrolsedgesorbroadleafweeds.Essentially,allgrasscrops,suchassorghum,corn,smallgrains,andrice,aswellasornamentalgrasses,suchasturf,aresusceptibletothisproduct.
Mode of ActionThis product rapidly enters the target weedthrough its foliage and translocates throughoutthe plant. The effects range from slowing orstopping growth (generally within 2 days), tofoliagereddeningandleaftipburn.Subsequently,foliageburnbackmayoccur.Thesesymptomswillgenerallybeobservedwithin3weeksdependingonenvironmentalconditions.

General Information Pertaining to Ground ApplicationsMakegroundapplicationwhen thewindvelocityfavors on-target product deposition. Apply onlywhen the wind speed is less than or equal to10 mph. For all non-aerial applications, windspeed must be measured to the applicationsite on the upwind side immediately prior toapplication.DO NOT make ground applicationsinto areas of temperature inversions. Inversionsare characterized by stable air and increasingdistance above the ground. Mist or fog mayindicate the presence of an inversion in humidareas. When permissible by local regulations,the applicator may detect the presence of aninversionbytheproducingsmokeandobservingasmokelayernearthegroundsurface.
Allgroundapplicationequipmentmustbeproperlymaintained and calibrated using appropriatecarriers.

AdditivesTo achieve consistent weed control, alwaysuse one of the following additives: Dash HC, Sundance HC,methylated/modified seed oil, orcropoilconcentrate.Inaddition,ureaammoniumnitrate or ammonium sulfate is recommendedfor use on alfalfa, beans, cotton, flax, peanuts,peas,potatoes,soybeans,fieldcorn,sweetcorn,sugar beets, and sunflowers to enhance activityoncertaingrassspecies.SeeTable 4. Additive Rates Per 1000 sq. ft. for more information.However, when used in many vegetable cropsunder the following conditions, this product plusadjuvants should be used with caution due topotential crop leaf injury: when the temperatureexceeds90°Fandtherelativehumidityis60%orgreater,oranytimethetemperatureexceeds100°F,regardlessofthehumidity.
Because most nitrogen solutions are mildlycorrosive to galvanized, mild steel, and brassspray equipment, rinse the entire spray systemwithwatersoonafteruse.UANandAMSarenotregisteredinCalifornia.
