General Information
  • CONTINGENT™ is a specialized blend of methylated seed oils and surfactants designed for use with a broad range of herbicides where an MSO or Crop Oil concentrate is recommended. It is particularly effective with post applied herbicides that are applied under adverse environmental conditions. CONTINGENT™ may also be used in desiccation and non-selective weed control applications. CONTINGENT™ is not recommended for use in applications with herbicides in direct applications on growing crops
  • Subject to the Precautionary Statements set forth in the Directions for Use, CONTINGENT™ may be used with other herbicides and/or fertilizer products. The addition of CONTINGENT™ to a spray tank improves herbicide application by modifying the wetting and deposition characteristics of the spray solution resulting in a more even and uniform spray deposit. CONTINGENT™ can positively affect herbicide spray application and herbicide efficacy. Optimum application and effects, however, can be influenced by the pest, spray equipment, spray volume, pressure, droplet size, spray mixture, environmental factors, and other factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made.

Applications & Uses

Directions for Use
  • NOT FOR AQUATIC USE NOT FOR USE WITH INSECTICIDES OR FUNGICIDES FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY
  • The addition of an adjuvant to some herbicides or pesticide tank mix combinations may cause phytotoxicity to the foliage and/or fruit of susceptible crops. Prior to the addition of CONTINGENT™ to spray tank mixes or prior to the use of CONTINGENT™ with a pesticide or fertilizer where an oil concentrate adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
  • NOTE: The above use recommendations are considered to be adequate for most uses. Some herbicides, however, may require higher or lower rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs. NOTE: Do not mix with oxidizing agents unless oxidizing agents are in solution.
  • For Basal Bark Applications: This product can be mixed with oil soluble or miscible herbicides and, when allowed by the herbicide label, be used as the sole diluent or carrier. Thinline, streamline, high and low volume basal bark applications can be made with this product and labeled herbicide mixtures. Suggested mixing rates when used as the sole carrier vary from 1% herbicide in 99% of this product to 75% herbicide in 25% of this product depending on herbicide and method of application. For specific dilution rates consult the herbicide label for the product being used. Typical applications direct these mixtures onto the lower 18 inches of individual brush and tree stems.
  • For directed or broadcast stem and foliage spraying: When allowed by the herbicide label, this product can be used as the sole carrier for herbicides or used with herbicide/water mixtures. For herbicide and water mixtures use up to 40% of this product by volume in these mixtures. Consult the herbicide label being used for proper mixing sequences. Maintain agitation at all times to prevent separation. When used as the sole carrier with oil soluble herbicides add the required amount of herbicide to this product in the spray tank. Consult the herbicide label of the product being used for use rate and volume per acre recommendations. If the compatibility of mix components is unknown, conduct a jar test before mixing large quantities. Use coarse sprays or special equipment designed to minimize spray drift. NOTE: Observe precautions on labels of other products regarding potentially phytotoxic interactions with oils.
Mixing Guidelines
  • Prior to any pesticide application all spray mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label. Fill spray tank one-half full with water and begin agitation. Add herbicides as directed by labeling or in the following sequence:
  1. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules
  2. Wettable powders
  3. Flowables
  4. Solutions
  5. Emulsifiable concentrates

and continue filling. Add CONTINGENT™ last and continue agitation

  • STORAGE: Store in original container only. Keep container tightly closed. This product may freeze at temperatures less than 50°F. Do not allow water to be introduced into the contents of this container. Do not contaminate water sources by runoff from cleaning of equipment, disposal of equipment washwaters or spray waste. Do not store near heat or open flame. Do not store with oxidizing agents or ammonium nitrate.
  • CONTAINER DISPOSAL NON-REFILLABLE CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Do not reuse empty container. Triple rinse (or equivalent) during mixing and loading and add rinsate to spray tank. Recycling decontaminated containers is the best option of container disposal. The Agricultural Container Recycling Council (ACRC) operates the national recycling program. To contact your state and local ACRC recycler visit the ACRC web page at www.acrecycle.org. Decontaminated containers may also be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. For help in chemical emergencies involving spill, leak, fire or exposure, call toll free 1-800-424-9300.
  • REFILLABLE CONTAINER: Refill this container with adjuvants only. Do not reuse this container for any other purpose. Cleaning the container before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller. To clean the container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from the container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the container about 10 percent full with water. Agitate vigorously or recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collection system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more times. If the container is not being refilled, return the container to the point of purchase.
