- Directions For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.- Application
Preplant Surface and Preemergence Applications: Certain germinating broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges can be controlled or partially controlled by soil residual activity from either preplant surface or preemergence applications of Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide. Moisture is necessary to activate Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received after a Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide application, weed control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a ¼ inch of water.
Postemergence Applications: Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide is generally most effective when used postemergence, working through contact action. Therefore, emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Best broad-spectrum postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide is applied early to actively growing weeds. This usually occurs within 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed control tables for specific recommendations on weed growth stages and rates.
Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of labeled crop leaves may occur following postemergence applications, but labeled crops soon outgrow these effects and develop normally.Soil Characteristics: Application of Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher rates than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Refer to the Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide Regional Use Map, weed control tables, and specific crop use sections for recommendations on use rates based on soil texture.
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions: Always apply Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid applying Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures, excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may result.
Rainfastness: Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied postemergence
Cultivation: Cultivation prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide may assist weed control
Information on Weed Resistance: Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf species with resistance to this herbicide and related products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides, may result in control failures.
If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional treatments with this her-bicide or similar mode of action products are not recommended. Consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for assistance.

Storage & Handling
- Storage and Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
Prohibitions: Open dumping is prohibited. Do not reuse empty container.
Pesticide Storage:Store above 32°F in original containers only. If product freezes, return to room temperature and agitate to reconstitute. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store near food or feed. In case of spill or leak on floor or paved surfaces, soak up with sand, earth or synthetic absorbent. Remove to chemical waste area.
Pesticide Disposal:Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture or rinsate is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the Hazardous Waste Representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
Container Handling [less than 5 gallons]: Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling if available. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use and disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, by incineration or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.Container Handling [bulk/mini-bulk]: Refillable container. Refill this container with Fomesafen 2 SL Herbicide 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 container before final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this 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. Then offer for recycling if available or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or by incineration or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke
