Features & Benefits
- Product Info
Not for use on CLEARFIELD® rice or any other rice varieties or hybrids.
Praxis kills weeds by root and/or foliage uptake and rapid translocation to the growing points. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum Praxis activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, Praxis will provide residual control of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil.
Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yellowing of crop plants occurs following Praxis applications. These effects occur infrequently and are
temporary. Normal growth and appearance should resume within 1 to 2 weeks.
When organophosphate (such as Lorsban) or carbamate insecticides are tank-mixed with Praxis, temporary injury may result to the treated crops. Use of Praxis herbicide in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Under some conditions (such as heavy texture soil, high organic matter, low pH or low rainfall) Praxis may cause injury to subsequent planted crops. Vegetable crops and particularly sugar beets are sensitive to Praxis residues in the soil.
Naturally occurring biotypes* of some of the weeds listed on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or other products with either the ALS/ AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of action include the sulfonylureas (e.g., Accent®, Basis®, Classic®, Harmony GT®, Spirit®, Permit®, etc.), the sulfonamides (e.g., FirstRate®, etc.) and the pyrimidyl benzoates (e.g., Staple®, etc.). If naturally occurring ALS/AHAS resistant biotypes are present in a field, Praxis and/or any other ALS/AHAS enzyme inhibiting mode of action herbicide must be tankmixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of action to ensure control.

Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves, such as butyl rubber >14 mils, or natural rubber >14 mils, or neoprene rubber >14 mils, or nitrile rubber >14 mils
• Shoes plus socks
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
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 washwaters or rinsate.
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Praxis may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes or reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained.
The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
DO NOT apply Praxis through any type of irrigation system.
Praxis must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Do not mix or allow coming in contact with oxidizing agents. Hazardous chemical reactions may occur.
