Materials Management
GENERAL INFORMATION Hexygon Miticide is recommended for use as a
foliar application to labeled crops. Hexygon provides effective
control of spider mites in the Tetranychid Family. It is a 50%
dry-flowable formulation to be mixed with a diluent and applied as
a spray. Hexygon controls mites through activity on eggs and
immature stages. Control is achieved from either direct contact
with the spray or from contact with treated plant surfaces. Through
its ovicidal activity, Hexygon controls newly deposited mite eggs
and eggs which are laid after application. Hexygon is also highly
effective in controlling immature motile stages of target mite
species that are sprayed or move onto treated surfaces. Adult mites
are not directly affected. However, eggs produced by females in
contact with treated surfaces will be rendered nonviable. Hexygon
provides extended residual control of pest mite species. The degree
and duration of control is dependent on the rate used, growth stage
of the mite, species of mite, and climatic conditions under which
the material is applied.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this
product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Follow all
directions on packaging and any EPA- approved supplemental
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. For any
requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency
responsible for pesticide regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance
with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR
Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of
agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries and 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 intervals. 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 (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated
areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and
that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as
plants, soil, or water is:
Long-sleeved shirt and long pants Waterproof gloves Shoes plus
socks
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are
NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for
agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when
this product is used to produce agricultural plants in farms,
forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. REENTRY: Keep children, pets
and unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have
dried. Chemigation Statement: Do not apply this product through any
type of irrigation system.
Managing Mite Resistance: Repeated use of miticides with similar
modes of action may lead to buildup of resistant strains of mites.
For resistance management, apply Hexygon only once per crop cycle.
If crop cycle is longer than one year do not apply Hexygon more
than once per year. Do not apply if resistance to products with a
similar mode of action, such as Ovation® (clofentazine), is
recognized in the crop. If additional miticide applications are
needed during a crop cycle, use a product with a different mode of
action, such as a contact adulticide. Always read and follow the
product label before applying any miticide. Proper Timing: The
activity of Hexygon is predominantly against eggs and immature
mites. The product should be applied prior to adult mite buildup.
Apply at first sign of egg deposit. If adult mites are present in
medium to high populations or if all life stages are present,
better results may be obtained by applying Hexygon in combination
with a registered contact mite adulticide. Proper Mixing: Start
with completely clean spray tank. If the spray tank was used for an
application of an emulsifiable liquid formulation, make certain
that all residues are cleaned from the spray tank, and that the
tank, spray boom and all nozzles are thoroughly rinsed before
adding Hexygon to the tank. Mixing Directions: Continuous agitation
is required to keep the product in suspension.
Turn on spray tank agitation. Pour recommended amount of this
material on the surface of water in a nearly filled spray tank. Add
balance of water to fill the tank. Keep agitator running during
filling and spraying operations. Do not allow mixture to
stand.
Compatibility: Hexygon is compatible with most crop protection
chemicals. However, all possible combinations have not been
evaluated. Before operational use of Hexygon with other products,
test mix small proportionate quantities of each product to ensure
compatibility. Spreader-Sticker Recommendations: Spreader-sticker
agents formulated specifically for ornamentals may be used in
combination with Hexygon to enhance uniform wetting of leaf
surfaces and improve contact activity. Prior to treating large
numbers of plants or new species or varieties, treat a few plants
with desired tank-mix combinations and observe for 7-10 days to
reduce the possibility of plant injury. Spray volume: Hexygon is a
contact miticide and good coverage is essential for optimum
performance. Use sufficient volume to obtain thorough, uniform
coverage. Spray all foliage surfaces including underside of leaves
for complete coverage. Application Directions: Apply lower rates
when mite infestation levels are low and higher rates on moderate
to high mite infestation levels. Make only one application per crop
cycle or once per year. This product is for use in commercial
plantings. It is also intended for use in home plantings and
ornamental landscaping by licensed commercial pesticide
applicators.

anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water
is:
Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants Chemical-resistant
gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber 14 mils, neoprene
rubber 14 mils, or viton 14 mils Shoes plus socks
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box
apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the
Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part
170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce
agricultural plants in farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
REENTRY: Keep children, pets and unprotected persons out of treated
areas until sprays have dried.
Managing Mite Resistance: For resistance-management, Hexygon IQ
contains a Group 10A acaricide. Any mite population may contain
individuals naturally resistant to Hexygon IQ and other Group 10A
acaricides. The resistant individuals may dominate the mite
population if this group of acaricides are used repeatedly in the
same fields. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be
followed. To reduce the potential for developing mite resistance,
rotate to an acaricide with a different mode of action. Monitor
treated pest populations for resistance development. Read product
label before applying any acaricide and follow label
directions.
To delay mite resistance, take the following steps: Hexygon IQ or
other Group 10A acaricides within a growing season, or among
growing seasons, with different groups that
control the same pests. Avoid application of more than the maximum
seasonal use rate or the total number of consecutive sprays of
Hexygon IQ per season.
at are equally effective on the target pest when such use is
permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same
pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for
the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture.
In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the
Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual acaricides selected for use in mixtures should be
highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they are
individually registered for use against the target species. o
Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action
classification are not recommended for mite resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues
between the individual components for the targeted pest(s). o
Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing
to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest
management benefits. o The mite resistance management benefits of
an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have
similar periods of residual acaricidal activity. Mixtures of
acaricides with unequal periods of residual mite activity may offer
a mite resistance management benefit only for the period where both
acaricides are active.

commercial plantings, home plantings and ornamental landscaping by
a licensed commercial pesticide applicator.
Use Recommendations: For best results, apply Hexygon IQ Miticide at
first sign of mites before adult mite build up. Hexygon IQ Miticide
will not control adult spider mites. Use higher rates on moderate
to high mite infestations, large trees with dense foliage, or for
extended residual control. The lowest rate of Hexygon IQ Miticide
may be used in conjunction with other IPM strategies, or for
shorter residual control later in the season. The use of less than
label rates is not recommended since it will result in poor
performance and contribute to resistance development. If adult
mites are present in medium to high populations, better results may
be obtained using Hexygon IQ Miticide in combination with a
registered contact adulticide. Hexygon IQ Miticide may be tank
mixed with horticultural grade oil. Refer to all precautions
regarding phytotoxicity on the oil label. Do not make more than one
application of Hexygon IQ Miticide per year. Chemigation Systems:
Hexygon IQ may be applied through irrigation systems (chemigation)
to any crop on the Hexygon IQ label unless otherwise specified
under the crop comments or on supplemental labeling supplied by
Gowan Company. Do not allow chemigation to run off field.
Types of Irrigation Systems: Apply Hexygon IQ only through
sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move, Low Energy
Precision Applications (LEPA), end tow, side (wheel) roll,
traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do
not apply Hexygon IQ through any other type of irrigation
system.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR ALL RECOMMENDED TYPES OF IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration: The irrigation
system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop
injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the
crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The
system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State
Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts. For best results apply at 100% input/travel speed, for
center pivots or 0.10 inch (2.716 gallons) up to 0.15 inch (4,073
gallons) of water/A, for other systems. Higher labeled rates of
Hexygon IQ may be necessary for chemigation applications.
Chemigation Monitoring: A person knowledgeable of the chemigation
system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision
of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Drift: Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area
intended for treatment.
Required System Safety Devices: The system must contain a
functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water
source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection
pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional,
normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side
of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a
functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump motor when
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide
distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering
pump; such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials
that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
with a system interlock.
Using Water from Public Water Systems: Public water system means a
system for the provision to the public of piped water for human
consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or
regular serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least
60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public
water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,
back flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water
supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As
an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should
be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide
introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap)
between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or
overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside
diameter of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must
contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection. The pesticide
injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed,
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection
pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from
being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain
functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in
cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure
decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively
designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system
interlock.
Cleaning the Chemical Injection System: In order to accurately
apply pesticides, the chemical injection system must be kept clean;
free of rocedure for
your injection system.
Flushing the Irrigation System: At the end of the application
period, allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all
nozzles or emitters before turning off irrigation water. To ensure
the lines are flushed and free of pesticides, a dye indicator may
be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application
period.
Equipment Area Contamination Prevention It is recommended that
nozzles in the immediate area of control panels, chemical supply
tanks, pumps and system safety devices be plugged to prevent
chemical contamination of these areas.
Center-Pivot and Automatic-Move Linear Systems: Inject the
specified dosage per acre continuously for one complete revolution
or move of the system. DO NOT USE END GUNS. The system should be
run at maximum speed.
Solid Set and Manually Controlled Linear Systems: Injection should
be during the last 30 to 60 minutes of regular irrigation period or
as a separate 30 to 60 minute application not associated with a
regular irrigation. DO NOT USE END GUNS.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Scythe® herbicide is a contact non-selective, broad spectrum,
foliar-applied herbicide. This product will only control actively
growing emerged green vegetation. It provides burndown of both
annual and perennial broadleaf and grass weeds, as well as most
mosses and other cryptogams. The degree of burndown and the
longevity of control is less when the plants are inactive, mature,
or biennial/perennial types. This product is not translocated. It
will burn only those plant parts that are coated with spray
solution. This product is a non-volatile, emulsifiable concentrate.
It can be applied through most standard or field type sprayers
after dilution and mixing with water in accordance with label
instructions. For best results, uniform and complete coverage of
target plants is required. Visible effects on most weeds occur
within hours. This product does not damage mature, non-green, woody
parts of plants. Cool weather following treatment slows the
activity of this product and delays or reduces visual effects. This
product provides no residual weed control. Repeat treatments will
be necessary for new plants emerging from seed or regrowth of
treated vegetation. Should residual control be desired, use a
product labeled for the use situation. Mixing and Application
Instructions Apply spray solutions in properly maintained and
calibrated equipment capable of delivering desired volumes. Avoid
spraying or allowing drift to desirable plants. Always clean tank,
pump, and line thoroughly with water after use. Do not apply this
product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply this
product aerially. Adjust spray droplet size to minimize drift and
allow application to the intended exposure area only. Mixing This
product mixes readily with water. To prepare the spray mixture,
fill the mix or spray tank with three-fourths the required amount
of water then add the proper amount of this product. Complete
filling the mix or spray tank with the balance of water needed.
Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning
back into the carrier source. Mix well. During mixing and
application, foaming of the spray solution can occur. A defoaming
agent can be added to prevent excessive foaming. If application is
intended in or around crops, the defoaming agent must be approved
for such use. Always determine compatibility of companion
herbicides and tank additives prior to addition to the spray tank.
Determine compatibility by performing a jar test using appropriate
quantities of each material and water (see Tank Mixes). For best
results with backpack or other small tank applicators ensure
thorough mixing of herbicidal solution at filling and during the
spray operation. For sprayers without agitation, mix or shake
regularly to maintain suspension. Without agitation, this product
separates quickly out of the spray solution.

Boom Equipment For best control or burndown of annual, biennial or
perennial weeds using conventional boom equipment, use the
indicated rate of this product in 75 to 200 gallons of spray
solution per acre as a broadcast spray. Use lower delivery rates of
10 to 75 gallons per acre of spray solution when this product is
used as a tank mix synergist with other foliar products (see Tank
Mixes). As the density of weeds increase, increase spray gallonage
within the indicated range. Hand-Held and High-Volume Equipment Use
spray-to-wet applications of this product with knapsack and
backpack sprayers, pump-up pressure sprayers, handguns, handwands,
and other hand-held spray equipment and vehicle mounted high volume
spray equipment. Apply spray solutions of this product to foliage
of vegetation to be controlled. For most efficient use of spray
mixture, spray all leaf surfaces uniformly and completely to
wetness, but not to the point of runoff. Selective Placement
Equipment Direct the herbicide solution onto weeds using a shielded
applicator which employs a physical barrier to shield desirable
vegetation from herbicide sprays. When applying this product
through a shielded or directed applicator, follow spray volume
instructions of the equipment or nozzle manufacturer.
Application Rates Mix this product in the indicated proportions as
listed below and deliver the spray solution through boom, high
volume, hand-held equipment, or by aerial application equipment.
Stand Alone Use Use the following percentage solutions
(volume/volume) to deliver 75 to 200 gallons of the spray solution
per acre through boom, hand-held equipment, high volume equipment,
or aerial application equipment.
Use a 3-5% solution for control of annual weeds, mosses and
cryptogams. Use the lower rate in the rate range for young,
succulent and actively growing weeds and the higher rate for weeds
greater than six inches in height or in the flowering stage. Use
higher rate for control of mosses, lichens, and other cryptogams on
structures and surfaces.
Use a 5-7% solution for burndown of perennial herbaceous plant,
weeds in a later stage of growth and control of sucker growth. Use
the highest rate for perennial weeds at or beyond the flower stage
or when the plants have "hardened".
Use a 7-10% solution when maximum vegetative burndown, edging, or
foliar trimming is desired. Repeat application as required to
maintain desirable level of weed control and to control plants
emerging from seed and underground parts. Tank Mixes Tank mixing
this product with other pesticides must be governed by the most
restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed any
label dosage rates. This product must not be mixed with any product
containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Always
predetermine the compatibility of labeled tank mixtures of this
product with other products in advance of application by mixing
proportional quantities of all products and water in a container
and watching for adverse reactions. When tank mixing, add
formulations in the following sequence: (1) wettable powders; (2)
flowable liquids; (3) emulsifiable liquids; (4) Scythe herbicide;
(5) water soluble liquids; and (6) adjuvants. This product is
synergistic with certain postemergence herbicides. A mixture of
this product and glyphosate have shown enhanced speed of top kill
and improved control of numerous weed species. See "Mixing and
Application Instructions" section of this label for spray volume,
equipment and procedures for tank mixtures. Scythe plus Glyphosate
Herbicides: To enhance the activity of glyphosate-containing
herbicides such as Roundup, Rodeo®, Touchdown, Glyphomax® or
Glypro® herbicides, and accelerate burndown of target weeds, use
the necessary amount of this product to reach a final concentration
of 1-3% spray solution plus the labeled rate of the registered
glyphosate product (see Rate Table). Lower rates in the rate range
will provide less visible burndown effect. When this product is
used as an additive and foliar burndown is not expected, mix the
necessary amount to reach a final concentration of 0.25-1% spray
solution plus the labeled rate of the glyphosate formulation.
Adjust rates of both products according to label rates for desired
level of control, weeds to be controlled, and conditions at
application. Scythe plus Other Foliar Herbicides: This product can
enhance the activity of postemergence herbicides such as Touchdown
herbicide and all formulations consisting of cyclohexanedione,
sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicides when used as a tank mix
additive. Use the necessary amount of this product to reach a final
concentration of 1-3% spray solution plus the label rate of the
companion product (see Rate Table). Lower rates in the rate range
will provide less visible burndown effect. When this product is
used as an enhancement additive and foliar burndown is not
expected, mix the necessary amount to reach a final concentration
of 0.25-1% spray solution plus the companion product. Adjust rates
of products according to label rates for desired level of control,
weeds to be controlled and conditions at application. Scythe Plus
Residual Herbicides: For burndown of vegetation followed by
residual control of weeds emerging from seed or underground parts,
mix this product with a labeled soil-active herbicide such as all
formulations consisting of sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazine,
dinitroaniline and acylurea herbicides. Follow the use instructions
and application rates of the residual companion product plus: (See
"Stand Alone" rates)
3-5% for annual weeds and vegetation 5-7% for perennial herbaceous
and late stage annuals 7-10% for maximum vegetation burndown

Use Methods
1. Vegetative Burndown: General control of weeds for seedbed or
site preparation, non-crop and around aquatic sites. Spot
treatments
may be used in crop and pasture situations. 2. Directed and
Shielded Sprays: Applications may be made in and around desirable
plants when contact of foliage and green bark is
avoided. 3. Prior to Emergence of Plants from Seed, Perennial
Rootstocks, Corms and Bulbs: Ensure applications are made before
new
growth or crop emerges from soil or damage will occur. 4. Dormant
or Post Harvest Spray: For control of weeds growing in dormant turf
or fields after this commodity has been harvested.
Partially green growth will be killed or stunted. 5. Sucker
Control, Pruning and Trimming: To burn back unwanted basal sucker
growth on woody trees and foliage growth on vines, and
excessive cane growth in brambles. Apply only to unwanted
vegetative parts. Apply before suckers become woody. 6. Harvest Aid
and Desiccation: To remove leaves of plants prior to harvest and/or
burndown of weeds to facilitate harvest. Harvest aid
and desiccation uses include applications to root and tuber
vegetables, bulb vegetables and cotton only. Applications must be
made no later than twenty-four hours prior to harvest (pre-harvest
interval = 24 hours).
7. Structural and Building Applications: Apply to unwanted
vegetation in and around buildings and structures. Application to
walks, benches, walls, floors, roofs, or cooling pads for the
control of moss and certain algae. A temporary residue or
precipitate can result when used on some types of concrete,
masonry, brick or stone.
Use Sites
Care must be exercised to avoid contact of spray with foliage of
desirable turfgrasses, trees, shrubs, or other desirable vegetation
since damage can result. Best results are obtained when
applications are made to young succulent weeds and when spray
solutions cover all leaf surfaces. Mature, woody weeds are less
susceptible. Repeat applications as needed to give desirable levels
of weed control. Select nozzles/pressure combinations that deliver
large coarse droplets such as solid cones or flat fans at low
pressures, and avoid nozzle/pressure combinations that generate
fine particles or mist. If spraying areas adjacent to desirable
plants, use a shield to help prevent spray from contacting foliage
of desirable plants. Reseeding or transplanting can occur in
treated areas as soon as desirable levels of weed control are
obtained.

General Information
Fast acting - kills weeds, grasses and all unwanted vegetation on
contact Will not spread to nearby plants Will not harm or
translocate through woody vegetation Scythe can be used around
ornamentals, trees, around sidewalks, fences, patios, walkways and
driveways Scythe® herbicide is non-selective weed killer that works
on contact
What Scythe Herbicide Does Scythe kills weeds and grasses by
rapidly causing plant cells to lose water. You will see visible
results in minutes and dead weeds within hours. These effects are
rapid darkening of green tissue, which advances to a browning and
death of all treated foliage. Scythe does not damage the woody
parts of plants such as rose canes or trees. You can re-plant
treated areas as soon as the desired level of weed kill is
achieved. Scythe is non-selective and will kill any green foliage
it is applied to. It is non-systemic and has no residual soil
activity and will not move through soil to injure nearby plants you
do not want to kill. How and When to Use Scythe can be used any
time of year when weeds and grasses are actively growing. The
younger the weeds the faster the kill. Scythe works best when
applied during sunny days with temperatures over 60 degrees.
Application during cool temperatures slows the rate of kill and may
reduce the overall effect of Scythe. Increasing the rate may
improve control to acceptable levels under these conditions. Delay
application if rain is expected within one hour after application.
Mixing This product mixes readily with water. You can use a pump up
sprayer or a trigger sprayer. Frequently agitate spray mixture
during application. For best results, uniform and complete coverage
of target plants is required. Spray to wet but not to the point of
runoff for most efficient use of spray mixture. On an area basis,
use at the rate of 1 gallon of diluted spray solution per 200
square feet (1 quart per 50 square feet). Use the table below rates
and coverage information.

PRODUCT INFORMATION SEDGEHAMMER is a selective herbicide for
postemergence control of sedges such as purple and yellow nutsedge
in established lawns, ornamental turfgrass, and landscaped areas.
SEDGEHAMMER can be applied to commercial and residential turf and
on other non-crop sites including: airports, campgrounds,
cemeteries, fairgrounds, fence rows, fallow areas, fuel storage
areas, golf courses, landscaped areas, established woody
ornamentals in landscape areas, lumberyards, public recreation
areas, race tracks, residential property, rights-of-way, roadsides,
school grounds, sod or turf seed farms, sports fields, tank farms
and tennis courts.
WEED RESISTANCE STATEMENT Weeds can develop resistance to
herbicides. Some weed biotypes have inherent resistance to certain
herbicides. Also, repeated use of herbicides with similar modes of
action can result in the development of resistance in weed
populations. SEDGEHAMMER, a member of the sulfonylurea family, is
an ALS enzyme inhibiting herbicide. To minimize the potential for
resistance development and/or to control resistant weed biotypes,
use a variety of cultural, mechanical, and chemical weed control
tactics. Rotate with herbicides having other modes of action (e.g.
non-ALS/AHAS materials). Contact your professional crop advisor,
local cooperative extension specialist, or Gowan Company
representative for additional information.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUCTIONS Calibrate application
equipment prior to application of this product. Application should
be uniform and of sufficient volume to avoid streaking or skips.
Spray the target weeds thoroughly and wet the entire leaf surface
of the undesirable plants. Avoid excessive overlap of the
spray.
Instructions for water dispersible granule in 1.3 oz bottle: Mix
0.9 gram of this product (using the measuring scoop provided) in
one or two gallons of water to treat 1000 square feet. Add 2
teaspoons (1/3 fluid ounce) of nonionic surfactant per gallon of
water. Ensure the product is measured as a level scoop and not
rounded.
Instructions for water dispersible granule premeasured in water
soluble bag: Add one (1) 0.9 g water soluble bag of this product
per 1 or 2 gallons of water in a hand-held or backpack sprayer to
treat 1000 sq ft. Add 2 tsp (1/3 fluid ounce) of a nonionic
surfactant per gallon of spray solution. Mix or shake thoroughly
for at least two minutes to ensure that the water soluble bag and
ingredients are completely dispersed. Occasionally shake the spray
solution while spraying to ensure that it remains thoroughly
mixed.
ADJUVANTS Always use 0.25-0.5 percent v/v of a nonionic surfactant
(1-2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) for broadcast
applications. For high volume applications, DO NOT exceed 1 quart
of surfactant per acre. Use only nonionic surfactants that contain
at least 80 percent active material.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS This product can be tank mixed with Glyphosate
herbicide for application as a directed spray in landscaped or
fallow areas. Tank mix with Glyphosate herbicide in landscape and
fallow areas and turf renovation. Do not exceed the specified
amount of surfactant due to the potential for turf injury at higher
rates. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended
use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions and
precautionary language of the products in the mixture. (For
Example: first aid from one product, spray drift management from
another).

USE PRECAUTIONS For best results, do not mow turf for 2 days before
or 2 days after application. For best results, use the lower rate
in light infestations and the higher rate in heavy infestations.
Avoid applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 4
hours. This product can be used on seeded, sodded, or sprigged
turfgrass that is well established. Allow the turf to develop a
good root
system and uniform stand before application. Treated areas can be
overseeded with annual or perennial ryegrass or bermudagrass, 2
weeks after application. Color plants or herbaceous ornamentals may
be injured when transplanted into landscaped areas treated with
SEDGEHAMMER. Avoid application of SEDGEHAMMER when turfgrass or
nutsedge is under stress since turf injury and poor nutsedge
control may
result.
USE RESTRICTIONS No more than 4 applications can be made per year
Do not exceed 5 1/3 oz by weight of this product (0.25 lb active
ingredient) per acre per 12 month period Do not apply as an
over-the-top spray to desirable flowers, ornamentals, vegetables,
shrubs or trees. Do not apply this product to golf course putting
greens. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation
system. Do not apply this product by air. Do not exceed the
