Product Information

Cotoran® 4L is effective for both annual grass and annual broadleaf weed control in cotton.Weed ControlCotoran 4L applied according to directions will selectively control annual weeds in cotton, such as:Annual Grass WeedsBarnyardgrass Goosegrass Fall panicumFoxtail Crowfootgrass Signalgrass (Brachiaria)Crabgrass RyegrassAnnual Broadleaf WeedsButtonweed Lambsquarters RagweedCocklebur Marestail (Horseweed) SesbaniaFlorida PusleyMorningglorySicklepodGroundcherry (Wright) Pigweed SmartweedJimsonweed Prickly Sida (teaweed) Tumbleweed PurslaneCotoran 4L at rates up to 4 pints per acre in cotton is not effective for the control of established perennial weeds, such as johnsongrass, from rhizomes.COTTONCotoran 4L may be applied preplant, preemergence or postemergence. For preplant and preemergence treatment only, Cotoran 4L may be tank-mixed with most liquid nitrogen fertilizers. Cotoran 4L may be combined with other herbicides in cotton as directed in the Combinations section.

Application Information

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENTA variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.Wind Speed:Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph.Droplet Size: Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE Standard 572).Temperature Inversions: If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.Other State and Local Requirements: Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of fluometuron. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Equipment: All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.Additional requirements for aerial applications:1. The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.2. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.3. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath must be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the up and downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Additional requirement for groundboom application:1. Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. Sensitive AreasCotoran 4L should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from sensitive areas.)

Technical Details & Test Data

Environmental Hazard

This chemical, fluometuron is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions, including karst geology areas, as a result of registered uses. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Groundwater advisory: Do not apply within 100 feet of any well used for potable water. Do not apply to fields with dewatering or agricultural drainage wells. Do not apply this product within 100 feet from the edge of areas containing karst topographical features containing sinkholes, caverns, springs, and sinking or disappearing streams. Where groundwater aquifers exist at a depth of 30 feet or less from the surface, do not apply this product where soils are Hydrologic Group A. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENTThis product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.RESISTANCEWhen herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action. To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.

Safety & Health

User Safety Recommendations

Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Users should remove clothing / PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing

Storage And Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal.PESTICIDE STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use. Store product in original container only, away from food or feed.PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product must be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. CONTAINER DISPOSAL:Nonrefillable Container (five gallons or less): Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, incinerate or burn, if allowed by state and local authorities. Stay out of smoke from burning container. Nonrefillable Container (greater than five gallons): Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, incinerate or burn, if allowed by state and local authorities. Stay out of smoke from burning container.
