Agricultural Use Requirements

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard con-tains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Restricted Entry Interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval of 48 hours. For greenhouse uses, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 24 hours.

For at least seven days following the application of Copper-contain-ing products in greenhouses:

•  at least one container or station designed specifically for flushing eyes is available in operating condition with the WPS-required decontamination supplies for workers entering the area treated with Copper-containing products,

•  workers are informed orally, in a manner they can understand:

–  that residues in the treated area may be highly irritating to their eyes,

–  that they should take precautions, such as refraining from rub-bing their eyes, to keep the residues out of their eyes,

–  that if they do get residues in their eyes, they should immedi-ately flush their eyes with the eye flush container that is located with the decontamination supplies and

– how to operate the eye flush container or eye flush station.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with any-thing that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks and protective eyewear.

Use Restrictions

• Do not cultivate Corn within 7 days before or after application of this product as weed control may be reduced.

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

• Do not apply this product with suspension fertilizers or Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) as carrier.

• Do not apply more than 4 pints of this product per acre per growing season.

• Do not apply more than 6 pints of this product per acre per growing season to Grain sorghum.

Use Precautions
  • This product can be applied post-emergence to Glyphosate tolerant Corn (Roundup Ready®). Application of this product to a Corn hybrid that is not Glyphosate tolerant will result in crop death.

• When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the weeds are not actively growing. Weed escapes or regrowth may occur when application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if an application of this product is made following label directions when weeds are actively growing.

• If an activating rain (0.25 inch) or equivalent irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days after the post-emergence application, residual weed control will be reduced.

• Avoid drift onto adjacent crops. Severe damage or destruction may be caused by contact of this product to any vegetation (including leaves, green stems, exposed non-woody roots or fruit) of crops, trees and other desirable plants to which treatment is not intended.

• Severe Corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied post-emergence to Corn crops that were treated with Terbufos, Chlorpyrifos or other organophosphate containing soil insecticides.

• Severe Corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if this product is applied foliar post-emergence in a tank-mix with any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide.

• Severe Corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any foliar organophosphate or carbamate insecticide is applied post-emergence within 7 days before or 7 days after application of this product.

• Severe Corn injury may occur if this product is applied post-emergence in a tank-mix with Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) products.

• This product may be applied with pyrethroid insecticides such as Lambda-cyhalothrin.

• Circulation before dispensing is required.

• To avoid contamination, ensure that the spray system is thoroughly cleaned with water and a commercial tank cleaner (e.g., Warsh-OutTM) before and after each use.

Precautionary Statements

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

CAUTION: Harmful if inhaled. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid breathing spray mist. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some people.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear: Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure and chemical-resistant apron when cleaning equipment, mixing or loading.Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning / maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Mixers and loaders supporting aerial applications are required to use closed systems. The closed system must be used in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for Agricultural Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)]. When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for Agricultural Pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

Environmental Hazards

For terrestrial uses, 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 washwater or rinsate.

Groundwater Advisory - The active ingredient, Metolachlor, has the potential to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Groundwater may be contaminated if this product is used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

Surface Water Advisory - The active ingredients in this product have the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift. Under some conditions, the active ingredients may also have a potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several months post-application. These include poorly drained or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, and areas overlaying extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.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 for contamination of water from runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination.
