Vulture® is a soluble liquid herbicide used for post-emergent control and suppression of many broadleaves, grasses and sedges in a variety of crops. Vulture™ herbicide possesses a mode of action that results in rapid translocation by foliage and/or roots of susceptible weeds and may show yellowing and will result in the cessation of plant growth. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum residual activity on susceptible germinating weeds.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT:

ammonium salt of imazamox: 2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1 -methylethy)-5 -oxo- 1 H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-(methoxymethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid* - 12.1%

OTHER INGREDIENTS - 87.9%

*Equivalent to 11.4% 2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1 -methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methoxymethy)- 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid

1 gallon contains 1.0 pound of active ingredient as the free acid.

Features & Benefits

Product Features

• Vulture™ is registered for use on alfalfa, beans (dry), chicory, clover grown for seed, edamame, lima beans (succulent), peas (dry), pea (English), snap bean and soybean.

• Vulture™ is rainfast within 1 hour after application.

• Vulture™ can be tank mixed or applied sequentially with another EPA registered herbicide that has a different mode of action to ensure acceptable weed control when ALS-resistant weeds are present.

• Vulture™ provides additional flexibility by having no preharvest interval (PHI) for any crop

Applications & Uses

Applicable Crop
Herbicide Target Species
Weed Control
  • Apply Vulture™ to actively growing weeds at the appropriate stage of growth. Weed heights exceeding labeled recommendations may result in poor control.
  • Use either a non-ionic surfactant, methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or a high surfactant oil concentrate with all Vulture™ applications.
  • Apply Vulture™ by ground application in a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre to ensure proper spray coverage on target weeds.
Product Use Rate

ALFALFA

Apply VultureTM early postemergence when weeds are actively growing and before they exceed a height of inches, unless otherwise indicated. Delay application until the majority of the weeds are at the specified growth stage. Apply VultureTM to actively growing crop and weeds.

USE RATE

Apply VultureTM early postemergence at a broadcast rate of to 4 to 6 fl. ozs./acre (0.031 to 0.047 lb. imazamox ae/acre) to seedling or established alfalfa grown for forage, hay, or seed. At the specified application rate, 1 gallon of VultureTM will treat 21 to 32 acres.

SEEDLING ALFALFA Apply VultureTM when seedling alfalfa is in the second trifoliate stage or larger and when the majority of weeds are 1 -inch to 3-inches tall. When applied to alfalfa grown for seed, apply VultureTM before bud formation. For prostrate growing weeds (such as mustards and filaree), apply VultureTM before the rosette exceeds 3 inches. When VultureTM is applied to seedling alfalfa, there may be a temporary reduction in growth. Alfalfa soon outgrows any effects of the herbicide.

ALFALFA RESTRICTIONS:

• DO NOT make more than one VultureTMapplication to alfalfa per year (growing season).

• DO NOT apply more than 6 fl. ozs. VultureTM /acre (0.047 lb. imazamox ae/acre) to alfalfa per year (growing season).

• DO NOT make sequential applications of imazethapyr herbicide followed by VultureTM (or VultureTM followed by Pursuit®) within a 60-day time frame because of increased potential for alfalfa crop response.

DRY BEANS AND DRY PEAS

[OTHER THAN ENGLISH PEA. LIMA BEAN (SUCCULENT), SNAP BEAN, CLEARFIELD LENTIL]

DO NOT apply VultureTM herbicide to dry beans and dry peas in California.

VultureTM may be applied to the following dry beans and dry peas:

DRY BEANS DRY PEAS

Adzuki

Anasazi

Black

Black turtle

Cranberry

Great Northern

Lablab

Lima (dry)

Navy Pink

Pinto

Red Kidney

Small red

Small white

Dry edible peas (field peas)

Southern pea (cow pea)

DRY BEANS AND DRY PEAS RESTRICTIONS:

• DO NOT apply VultureTM to succulent pea, snap bean, or fresh lima (except as specifically directed below).

• DO NOT apply VultureTM to chickpea (garbanzo bean) or lentil.

• DO NOT apply more than 6 fl. ozs. VultureTM /acre (0.047 lb. imazamox ae/acre) to alfalfa per year (growing season).

USE RATE

Apply VultureTM postemergence to dry beans and dry peas at a broadcast rate of 4 fl. ozs./acre (0.031 lb. imazamox ae/acre). At this application rate, one gallon will treat 32 acres of dry beans and dry peas.

ADDITIONAL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRY BEANS AND DRY PEAS

VultureTM application may be made to dry beans and dry peas with or without addition of fertilizer. Addition of nitrogen-based fertilizer, such as ammonium sulfate or liquid fertilizers (such as 28-0-0), may improve weed control but also increases the likelihood of dry bean response. When nitrogen and/or crop oil are added to the mixture, add Basagran® herbicide (at 6 fl. ozs. to 16 fl. ozs./A) as a tank mix partner to minimize crop response.

For application to dry peas, ALWAYS add Basagran to the spray mixture, regardless of additives used. For enhanced grass activity, add crop oil concentrate instead of surfactant. Basagran at 16 fl. ozs./A will enhance control of common lambsquarters and kochia. Basagran application at rates higher than 16 fl. ozs./A may reduce grass weed control.

DRY BEANS AND DRY PEAS RESTRICTIONS:

• VultureTM application must be made before dry beans and dry peas bloom.

• DO NOT make more than one VultureTM application to dry beans and dry peas per year (growing season).

• DO NOT apply more than 4 fl. ozs. VultureTM /acre (0.031 lb. imazamox ae/acre) to dry beans and dry peas per year (growing season).
