When to apply • Apply to target weeds and trees when they are actively growing.

• Only weeds and trees present at the time of application will be controlled.

– Weeds: Apply to actively growing weeds, after emergence, prior to flowering.

– Trees: Apply to actively growing shrubs, after full leaf expansion, but prior to the development of a waxy cuticle on the leaf of the shrubs.

Rainfast 2 hours

Optimizing performance • Apply to actively growing weeds and shrubs. Avoid applying to plants under stress.

• For faster burndown of coniferous species, use Gateway™ adjuvant at 0.25% by volume (250 mL/100 L of water). For maximum rainfastness, increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL/100 L of water). Gateway should be added after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed.

• Do not treat areas intended to be used for cultivated sensitive crops or other desirable plants in sequential years. Clippings from grass or crops that have been treated with Aspect™ herbicide should not be used for composting or mulching, nor should the manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated forage be used around susceptible plants.

• For control of leafy spurge and toadflax under less-than-optimum growing conditions, add Gateway adjuvant at the rate of 0.25% by volume.

Tree safety Aspect should NOT be used over the top of desirable trees. Applications should remain 1.5x the height of off target trees away. Use additional caution around lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through layering.

Aspect™ Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aspect™ herbicide?Aspect™ is a herbicide professional vegetation managers use to control unwanted weeds, as well as deciduous and conifer trees along right of ways such as electrical power lines, roadsides and pipelines. It is an important tool in an effective vegetation management program.



RIGHT OF WAY VEGETATION: CONTROL AND OPTIONSWhy use Aspect™? Can’t you just cut the vegetation?

Mowing and trimming are important parts of any right of way

maintenance program, but mechanical means alone do not

provide a long-term sustainable solution for managing vegetation

along right of ways. Mechanical control can reduce pollinator

habitat, distribute weed seeds and cause some plant species to

re-sprout rapidly resulting in increased density of the stand. In

addition, flying debris and cutting equipment can be dangerous

to animals, wildlife, work crews and surrounding property.

Mechanical control also needs to be repeated frequently in order

to maintain the right of way.

Selective application of Aspect™ herbicide allows desirable

species to flourish which increases biodiversity. It is less disruptive

to the landscape and controls the entire plant so crews only need

to visit the right of way for vegetation management once every

two to four years. Integrated vegetation management programs

use both mechanical and herbicide control strategies and are

proven to be the most cost effective long-term vegetation

management strategy.

Why does vegetation need to be controlled along a right of way?

Safety is the major reason for managing vegetation along right

of ways. Trees, brush and weeds along right of ways can create

safety hazards.

For driver and passenger safety, vegetation cannot block traffic

signs or roadside markers. It must not conceal guardrails or

overtake road shoulders. Vegetation must not obstruct driver

vision at intersections or block the line of sight around curves.

Excessive vegetation also prevents proper drainage, which

damages roadbeds by creating potholes and other hazards.

Trees growing into power lines can cause electrical power

outages and make maintenance difficult and dangerous.

Additionally, areas around utility substations and land beneath

transmission towers require a vegetation-free zone to prevent fire

hazards and ensure the transfer of electricity.

Railway companies need to control weeds along their right of

ways to maintain the ballast. Weeds hold water around railway

ties causing them to rot, increasing chances for derailment

accidents. Sparks from the rails can also ignite weeds and brush

growing too close to the ballast, which can create a fire hazard

for neighbouring residents. Brush that obstructs motorists’ views

at railway crossings is especially dangerous; preventing growth

can help avert car/train accidents.

Invasive species growth and spread can negatively affect

biodiversity. Controlling these invasive plants allows natural species

to flourish and contributes to a safe and diverse environment for

wildlife, pollinators, beneficial species and the public.

HERBICIDES: FUNCTION AND APPLICATIONHow do herbicides work?

Herbicides interrupt or modify a biological process within the

plant that leads to the plant being controlled. There are many

different biological pathways within a plant and they can vary

between species. Because of this, a herbicide can be considered

“selective” – it will affect plants with certain biological

pathways, but if a plant does not have that pathway, it will not

be impacted. These pathways do not exist in other organisms

either, including humans and animals. For this reason herbicides,

when used according to the label, only affect the plants they are designed to control.

Frequently Asked Questions




The active ingredients of Aspect™ herbicide work like a growth

regulator found only in plants. It enters treated vegetation

through leaves, and uses the plant’s own transportation system

to move into the roots. It induces rapid growth, which disrupts

food production and causes the plant to be controlled due to

lack of nutrients. Applicators can selectively target the species of

concern and leave the desirable species to continue growing.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) regulates

label claims. It is necessary for a manufacturer to demonstrate

with scientific studies that the formulated product controls

or suppresses the vegetation written on the label. A control

claim means the vegetation is no longer viable, and any new

vegetation emerging is a result of seeds germinating post

herbicide application.

Who applies Aspect?

Trained, professional applicators apply Aspect in designated areas

using approved application techniques. Every province enforces

strict standards requiring applicators to be certified. Applicators

follow directions on the product label, which is reviewed by

the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a division of

Health Canada.

HERBICIDE REGULATION IN CANADAWho regulates the registration of herbicides in Canada?

Before a herbicide can be sold in Canada, it must be registered

by the PMRA, a division of Health Canada. Health Canada is

also responsible for regulating many of the common products

you use every day such as toothpaste and deodorant, as well as

prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.

Pesticides are one of the most stringently regulated products in

Canada. The PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including biologists,

chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant pathologists, weed

scientists and entomologists, for the sole purpose of evaluating

pesticides. Before a pesticide can be approved for use in Canada,

the PMRA requires that it undergo a thorough scientific review and

safety assessment to ensure it meets Health Canada’s standards.

Only those products that meet these strict health and environmental

standards can be registered by the PMRA for use or sale in Canada.

A herbicide product will not be registered in Canada unless a health

and environmental assessment shows that no harm to human health

and the environment will result from its use.

What is included in the PMRA’s science-based risk assessment?• An examination of all sources and routes (oral, dermal,

inhalation) of potential exposure to a given pesticide, including exposure through diet, from drinking water and from contact with treated areas like lawns and gardens

• An estimation of the amount of pesticides that people, including children, may come in contact with, both during and after a pesticide application

• A human health risk assessment with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, including children; this considers the potential for a pesticide to cause adverse health effects such as cancer, birth defects and endocrine disruption, and allows registration only for those pesticides with exposures well below levels that cause adverse effects

• An assessment of the movement, persistence and transformation (fate) of a pesticide in the environment

• An environmental risk assessment that considers risks to plants, birds, mammals, beneficial insects, aquatic organisms as well as fate in the environment

• A value assessment that considers the contribution of the product to pest management, as well as its health, safety and

environmental benefits, and social and economic impact1

Registered products are re-evaluated regularly to ensure they

continue to meet current high-level scientific safety standards.

Health Canada also conducts regular investigations and

inspections to ensure only registered products are used in

Canada and that they are used according to label directions.

HERBICIDES AND HUMAN HEALTHWhat is the impact of Aspect on human health?

Prior to registering a product, Health Canada – PMRA completes

a human health risk assessment that focuses on vulnerable

populations, including children and expecting mothers. The

evaluation determines the potential for a pesticide to cause

adverse health effects. Health Canada will not register a pesticide

that is known to cause cancer or other illnesses2.

Aspect, as with any pesticide registered in Canada, does

not represent unacceptable risk to human health when used

according to the label directions.

What are the guidelines for entering an area treated with Aspect?Once the solution has dried, it is safe to enter the treated area.

HERBICIDE SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT



1 http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2017/sc-hc/H110-2016-eng.pdf2 https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/about-pesticides/are-pesticides-safe. html?wbdisable=true

Bodies of water

Health Canada – PMRA completes a full assessment on potential

effects of pesticides on aquatic organisms. As part of this

evaluation Health Canada – PMRA analyzes worst case scenarios,

including direct applications to water. Then they establish rules

or restrictions to mitigate problems, if they exist, for each product

such as buffer zones which is the distance between water and

where the herbicide can be applied. When label directions for

Aspect™ are followed, there are no unacceptable risks for aquatic

organisms or drinking water for human consumption.

Plant consumption by animalsHealth Canada – PMRA evaluates the amount of herbicide

residue that would be present in grains and seeds, fruits, grass,

and leaves to determine the amount an animal would be

exposed to if they ate exclusively from the treated site. Aspect

does not represent a risk of concern to wildlife, domestic animals

or pets when used according to the label.

Pollinators

Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds are examples of pollinators

that feed from flowers, transferring pollen in the process. Herbicides

should not be confused with insecticides. Insecticides usually target

the nervous system in insects, while herbicides target a specific

pathway in plants. These target sites do not exist in pollinators,

including bees. For this reason, when Aspect is used according to

the label, it does not pose an unacceptable risk to pollinators.

Soil

Aspect is broken down by naturally occurring soil microorganisms

(fungi and bacteria), as well as sunlight. When the process is

complete, the final products are carbon dioxide, water and other

organic materials. How quickly the product breaks down depends

on rainfall and soil temperature.

Nearby ornamentals and gardens

Aspect has the potential to harm any woody or broadleaf plant

that comes in direct contact with the product solution. Therefore,

applicators take great care to apply Aspect only to targeted

vegetation. Aspect will not harm grasses.

Applicators use extra caution to protect your ornamentals or

garden by leaving an untreated buffer zone that adds an extra

measure of protection. A selective spot application is highly

unlikely to cause damage to ornamentals or gardens. When

making foliar applications, applicators monitor wind speed and

direction to ensure accuracy.

The method chosen should be appropriate to the environmental, vegetative and other site conditions. Read all precaution statements before using this product. For more information or help, contact your local Dow AgroSciences representative.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Certain environmental conditions may increase the potential for herbicides to move in water, through the soil and enter an underlying aquifer1. These environmental conditions include: • Soils that are very permeable (textures of sandy loam to sand) throughout the entire profile and which

also have an underlying shallow aquifer. • Soils containing sinkholes over limestone bedrock. • Surfaces composed of severely fractured rock or unconsolidated gravels and underlaid with an aquifer. The above conditions may permit direct movement of herbicides, including those containing picloram, to underlying aquifers. Where any of the above environmental conditions exist, users are advised not to use either directed or broadcast foliage or aerial foliar application methods. Alternative cut surface methods of application should be chosen. These methods include tree injection, frill or girdle and cut stump treatments. To help identify areas of concern, a Dow AgroSciences representative can be contacted for additional information and assistance towards doing site inspections.


• Do not apply more than once per year. • DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie

potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, irrigation ditches and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats.

• DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

Restricted Entry Interval (REI) • For non-crop areas, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas until sprays have dried. • For the use as a direct injection into treated plants: Restricted-entry interval is not required when

picloram is directly injected into treated plants. Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity (houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas) is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, application equipment and sprayer settings. Field sprayer application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Aerial application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan. Sensitive Plants Most broadleaved plants are very sensitive to picloram. Care should be taken to avoid spraying desirable broadleaved plants during both growing and dormant periods. Aspect Herbicide, without a drift control additive or approved application system, should not be applied to the foliage of target vegetation near areas planted to crops such as beans (including soybeans), potatoes, tobacco, grapes, tomatoes, flowers, ornamental shrubs and trees or other desirable broadleaved crops. In addition, care should be taken to avoid contaminating soil in which sensitive crops will be grown. Clippings from vegetation which has been treated with Aspect Herbicide should not be used for composting or mulching, nor should the manure from animals grazing treated areas be used around susceptible plants, because picloram residues pass through the animal unchanged and are still herbicidally active. PREHARVEST/GRAZING INTERVALS When a right-of-way is to be grazed by animals do not apply Aspect Herbicide at rates exceeding 11.5 L/ha and follow the following grazing withholds: • Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze the treated areas within 7 days after application. • Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. • Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Sprayer Clean-Out Instructions To avoid injury to desirable plants, thoroughly clean equipment used to apply this product before re-use or using it to apply other chemicals. 1. Immediately after spraying, completely drain the sprayer tank. Any contamination on the outside of

the spraying equipment should be removed by washing with clean water.


2. First rinse:

• Spray the inside of tank with clean water and fill the sprayer with at least one tenth of the spray tank volume.

• Agitate and circulate for 15 minutes, and flush through booms and hoses. • Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution

through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.

• Drain tank completely. 3. Second rinse:

• Fill the tank with clean water. • Add All Clear Spray Tank Decontaminator, or Clean-Out Spray Tank Cleaner, or 1 L of household

ammonia (containing a minimum of 3 % ammonia) per 100 L of water, or similar tank cleaning agent as per manufacturer’s recommendations while filling the tank with clean water.

• Agitate and then flush the boom and hoses with the cleaning solution. Top up with water making sure the tank is completely full. Allow to stand for 15 minutes with agitation. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the spray booms. Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.

• If possible, let the solution stand in the sprayer tank and booms for an extended period of time, overnight if possible.

• After flushing the boom and hoses, drain tank completely. • Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately with a cleaning agent or an ammonia solution

(100 mL in 10 L water). 4. Third rinse:

• Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the boom and hoses using at least one tenth of the spray tank volume.

• Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.

• Drain tank completely. Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty odour which may cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or www.corteva.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. BROADCAST GROUND APPLICATION Directions for Use Directed Leaf-Stem Applications With Single Nozzle Application Equipment For control of woody plants, use 6.67 L of Aspect Herbicide in 1000 L of water and apply to woody plants after the foliage is fully developed. Maximum 1 application per year. The spray solution should thoroughly wet all plant parts including foliage and stems and should be applied when plants are actively growing to achieve the maximum control. Application made when the foliage has lost its normal green colour and vigour may not give satisfactory results.


For faster burndown of coniferous species use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, or Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or any non-ionic surfactant) at the rate of 0.25% by volume (250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). The recommended surfactant should be added after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, surfactant and Aspect Herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing. See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. When applying Aspect Herbicide with ground application equipment, the spray pressure at the nozzle should be no higher than is required for penetration of the target vegetation. The spray should always be directed toward the target, away from non-target, susceptible plants and no higher than the tops of the target plants. To aid in reducing spray drift, a nozzle and pressure should be selected which produces coarse spray droplets and minimizes production of fine droplets. Do not use high spray pressures in order to reach distant vegetation. Broadcast Foliage Application Woody Plant Control: Apply 11.5 L/ha of Aspect Herbicide in 200 L of total spray to control brush such as alder, birch, cedar, maple, pine, poplar, spruce and other species. Control of conifers or other hard-to-control brush species may be inconsistent. Maximum 1 application per year. For faster burndown of coniferous species use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, or Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or any non-ionic surfactant) at the rate of 0.25% by volume (250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). The recommended surfactant should be added after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, surfactant and Aspect Herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing. See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. Broadleaved Weed Control: Apply 2.47 L/ha of Aspect Herbicide to control Canada thistle, dandelion and common yarrow. Apply 4.67 L/ha of Aspect Herbicide in 200 L of total spray volume to control broadleaved weeds such as sweet and red clover, wild carrot, common ragweed, goldenrod, dock, plantain, prickly lettuce, burdock, fleabane, vetch, leafy spurge♦ and toadflax♦. Apply in the spring or early summer after growth appears. Maximum 1 application per year. ♦For control of leafy spurge and toadflax under less than optimum growing conditions, use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, or Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or any non-ionic surfactant) at the rate of 0.25% by volume (e.g., 250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). The recommended surfactant should be added after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, surfactant and Aspect Herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing. See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. For broadcast foliar applications, USE AN APPROVED DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVE OR SYSTEM. Spray drift could cause injury to trees and other desirable broadleaved plants outside the desired treatment area and may render soil unproductive for broadleaved plants. With ground broadcast methods of application, use no more than 207 kPa as the spraying pressure, and nozzle tips that produce large droplets. Cut Surface Methods To control certain unwanted trees such as elm, oak, maple, hickory, beech, cherry and basswood, and conifers such as pine, cedar, hemlock, Douglas fir and Sitka spruce, apply Aspect Herbicide diluted in a 1:1.5 ratio with water or with ethylene glycol, to depress the freezing point as directed below.


For cut surface application, frill or girdle treatment, and cut stump treatment:

• Application must be conducted with backpack sprayer (or other manually pressurized handheld equipment).

• DO NOT handle more than 7.4 kg a.e. per day (20.6 L of Aspect Herbicide per day). Use Precautions: When mixing Aspect Herbicide with either water or ethylene glycol, take special precautions not to spill this mixture onto the soil. When applying the 1:1.5 dilution, direct the herbicide mixture only to the cut surface area to be treated. Do not use excessive amounts of herbicide solution which would result in run-off from the cambial region onto the soil surface. Tree Injection Treatment: Inject 1 millilitre of the dilute solution through the bark at intervals of 75 mm between edges of the injector wound. The injections should be made completely around the tree at any convenient height with appropriate equipment. Frill or Girdle Treatment: (Hack and Squirt) Make a single girdle or series of overlapping cuts (frills) through the bark completely around the tree at a convenient height. Thoroughly wet the cut surface with the 1:1.5 diluted solution applied with a squeeze bottle or similar equipment. Cut Stump Treatment: Paint or spray the 1:1.5 diluted solution onto the exposed freshly cut stump. Care should be taken to ensure that the entire circumference or cambial layer of the outside of the stump is treated. All of the above cut surface methods may be used successfully at any season except during periods of heavy sap flow of certain species such as red maple. For this species, injections or wounds should overlap, and applications should be timed to avoid sap flow periods. BROADCAST AERIAL APPLICATION Directions for Use Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices Use Precautions Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.


Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Volume: To control unwanted brush on rights-of-way, apply 11.5 L/ha of Aspect Herbicide per hectare in a total spray volume of 150 to 200 L/ha. For aerial application to other industrial sites such as military training areas, lower delivery volumes can be considered, depending on brush species, height and density. Sprays should be applied following full leaf development and during periods of active growth for best results. Late summer application or application during dry weather when the plants are not actively growing may result in unsatisfactory control. Maximum 1 application per year. For faster burndown of coniferous species use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, or Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or any non-ionic surfactant) at the rate of 0.25% by volume (250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). The recommended surfactant should be added last after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, surfactant and Aspect Herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing. See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. Apply Aspect Herbicide at the 11.5 L/ha rate to control brush species such as alder, birch, cedar, maple, pine, poplar, spruce and other species. Control of conifers or other hard-to-control brush species may be inconsistent. • USE AN APPROVED DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVE OR SYSTEM. Spray drift could cause injury to

trees and other desirable broadleaved plants outside the desired treatment area and may render soil unproductive for broadleaved plants.

• Avoid direct applications to any body of water. Do not contaminate water through spray drift or by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

• With the aerial broadcast method of application, a minimum volume of 150 L/ha should be used and no more than 207 kPa as the spraying pressure. Avoid placing nozzles where spray will enter wing tip vortices.

• Do not apply this product directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with desirable crops or other desirable broadleaved plants or non-target species and do not permit spray mists to drift onto them.


• Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, use only nozzles or nozzle configurations which minimize the

production of fine spray drops. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure. When spraying, avoid combination of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist) which are more likely to drift. A spray thickening agent or drift retardant may be used with this product to aid in reducing spray drift.

• Do not use human flaggers. • Avoid Spray Drift: Apply only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Small quantities of the

spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible crops and damage sensitive non-target habitat. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions (stable air) such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the spray site or a smoke generator on the spray equipment. If the smoke develops into layers or indicates a potential for hazardous spray drift, do not spray.

• Buffer Zones: Appropriate buffer zones should be established between treatment areas and aquatic systems and treatment areas and significant wildlife habitat.

• To prevent contamination of adjacent surface water including lakes, ponds and streams, strict adherence to provincial setbacks from water is essential.

BUFFER ZONES TO PROTECT SENSITIVE HABITATS Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. Seasonal water bodies require buffer zones if there is water in them during application. Water bodies which do not fill on an annual basis need not be buffered. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies that minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g. coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture. NOTE: Applicators may recalculate a site-specific buffer zone by combining information on current weather conditions and spray configuration for the following applications: all airblast applications, and for field and aerial applications which specify the following droplet size category wording on the product label: DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. To access the Buffer Zone Calculator, please visit the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Aspect Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Aspect Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: • Where possible, rotate the use of Aspect Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides with different

herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. • Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. • Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information

related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

• Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development. • Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage

equipment and planting clean seed. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide

resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or at www.corteva.ca.

CLEARVIEW™Weed Control

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • ClearView™ herbicide has multiple rate structures on the label, allowing you the flexibility to choose the most suitable rate to fit your needs. 230 g/ha is the highest labelled rate; it will provide the most effective, longest lasting control. However the mid-rate of 170 g/ha is also very effective. One case will treat 16 ha at the 230 g/ha rate, or 21.6 ha at the 170 g/ha rate.

• ClearView requires the addition of Gateway™ adjuvant at 0.2% v/v.• Individual plant applications: 2.3 g of ClearView, 20 mL of surfactant, in 10 L of

water. Thoroughly wet, but not to the point of runoff. • Water volume: – Broadcast: Apply in a minimum of 200 L/ha total solution.

When to apply • Target weeds and shrubs will be controlled when they are actively growing and present at time of application.

– Weeds: Apply to actively growing weeds, after emergence, prior to flowering. – Shrubs: Apply to actively growing shrubs, after full leaf expansion, but prior to the

development of a waxy cuticle on the leaf of the shrubs.

Rainfast 2 hours

Bareground • Labelled tank mixes: VP480, glyphosate and Arsenal herbicides• Other tank mixes, such as OcTTain™ XL, Torpedo™, EsplAnade and LongRun™

herbicides are supported under the PMRA tank-mix policy. Please contact your Corteva Agriscience™ representative.

Mixing instructions 1. Fill the spray tank ¾ full of clean water.2. Add the required amount of ClearView herbicide with the agitation running.

Pre-slurrying with water may be necessary where there is little or no agitation, or an injection system is being used.

3. If tank mixing, add the required amount of tank-mix partner with continued moderate agitation.

4. Add Gateway at 0.2% v/v or 2 L/1,000 L of spray solution. 5. Add antifoaming agent such as Halt.

Grazing There is no grazing restriction on livestock or wildlife grazing treated areas.

Optimizing performance • Apply to actively growing weeds and shrubs. Avoid applying to plants under stress. • Pre-slurrying ClearView is recommended.

Tree safety ClearView should NOT be used over the top of desirable trees. Application may be made up to the drip line (outermost edge of the branches) of desirable trees. Use additional caution around lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through root shoots.

ClearView™ Frequently Asked Questions



What is ClearView™ Herbicide?ClearView is a herbicide professional vegetation managers use to control unwanted weeds, and small brush along right of ways such as electrical power lines, roadsides, pipelines, and oil/gas sites. It is an important tool in an effective vegetation management program.




RIGHT OF WAY VEGETATION: CONTROL AND OPTIONSWhy use ClearView™? Can’t you just cut the vegetation?

Mowing and trimming are important parts of any right of

way maintenance program, but mechanical means alone do

not provide a long-term sustainable solution for managing

vegetation along right of ways. Mechanical control can reduce

pollinator habitat, distribute weed seeds and cause some plant

species to re-sprout rapidly resulting in increased density of

the stand. In addition, flying debris and cutting equipment can

be dangerous to animals, wildlife, work crews and surrounding

property. Mechanical control also needs to be repeated

frequently in order to maintain the right of way.

Selective application of ClearView herbicide allows desirable

species to flourish which increases biodiversity. It is less disruptive

to the landscape and controls the entire plant so crews only

need to visit the right of way for vegetation management once

every two to four years. Integrated vegetation management

programs use both mechanical and herbicide control strategies

and are proven to be the safest, most cost effective long-term

vegetation management strategy.

Why does vegetation need to be controlled along a right of way?

Safety is the major reason for managing vegetation along right

of ways. Trees, brush and weeds along right of ways can create

safety hazards.

For driver and passenger safety, vegetation cannot block traffic

signs or roadside markers. It must not conceal guardrails or

overtake road shoulders. Vegetation must not obstruct driver

vision at intersections or block the line of sight around curves.

Excessive vegetation also prevents proper drainage, which

damages roadbeds by creating potholes and other hazards.

Trees growing into power lines can cause electrical power

outages and make maintenance difficult and dangerous.

Additionally, areas around utility substations and land beneath

transmission towers require a vegetation-free zone to prevent

fire hazards and ensure the transfer of electricity.

Railway companies need to control weeds along their right of

ways to maintain the ballast. Weeds hold water around railway

ties causing them to rot, increasing chances for derailment

accidents. Sparks from the rails can also ignite weeds and

brush growing too close to the ballast, which can create a

fire hazard for neighbouring residents. Brush that obstructs

motorists’ views at railway crossings is especially dangerous;

preventing growth can help avert car/train accidents.

Invasive species growth and spread can negatively affect

biodiversity. Controlling these invasive plants allows natural

species to flourish and contributes to a safe and diverse

environment for wildlife, pollinators, beneficial species and the

public.

HERBICIDES: FUNCTION AND APPLICATIONHow do herbicides work?

Herbicides interrupt or modify a biological process within

the plant that leads to the plant being controlled. There are

many different biological pathways within a plant and they

can vary between species. Because of this, a herbicide can

be considered “selective” – it will affect plants with certain

biological pathways, but if a plant does not have that pathway,

it will not be impacted. These pathways do not exist in other

organisms either, including humans and animals. For this reason

herbicides, when used according to the label, only effect the

plants they are designed to control.




ClearView™’s active ingredients disrupt a growth regulator as

well as impede an enzyme function only found in plants. It enters

treated vegetation through leaves, and uses the plant’s own

transportation system to move into the roots and leaves. It

induces rapid growth, which disrupts food production and causes

the plant to be controlled due to lack of nutrients. ClearView

also prevents the function of an enzyme, found only in plants,

responsible for amino acid synthesis. Applicators can selectively

target the species of concern and leave the desirable species to

continue growing.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a division

of Health Canada, regulates label claims. It is necessary for a

manufacturer to demonstrate with scientific studies the formulated

product controls or suppresses the weeds written on the label. A

control claim means the weed is no longer viable, and any new

weeds emerging are a result of weed seeds germinating post

herbicide application.

Who applies ClearView?

Trained, professional applicators apply ClearView in designated

areas using approved application techniques. Every province

enforces strict standards requiring applicators to be certified.

Applicators follow directions on the product label, which is

reviewed by the PMRA.

HERBICIDE REGULATION IN CANADAWho regulates the registration of herbicides in Canada?


by the PMRA, a division of Health Canada. Pesticides are one

of the most stringently regulated products in Canada. The

PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including biologists, chemists,

toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists

and entomologists, for the sole purpose of evaluating pesticides.

Before a pesticide can be approved for use in Canada, the PMRA

requires that it undergo a thorough scientific review and safety

assessment to ensure it meets Health Canada’s standards. Only

those products that meet these strict health and environmental

standards can be registered by the PMRA for use or sale in

Canada. A herbicide product will not be registered in Canada

unless a health and environmental assessment shows that no

harm to human health and the environment will result from its use.

What is included in the PMRA’s science-based risk assessment?• An examination of all sources and routes (oral, dermal,

inhalation) of potential exposure to a given pesticide, including exposure through diet, from drinking water and from contact with treated areas like lawns and gardens





• A value assessment that considers the contribution of the product to pest management, as well as its health, safety and environmental benefits, and social and economic impact1




inspections to ensure only registered products are used in

Canada and that they are used according to label directions.

HERBICIDES AND HUMAN HEALTHWhat is the impact of ClearView on human health?

Prior to registering a product, Health Canada – PMRA completes

a human health risk assessment that focuses on vulnerable

populations, including children and expecting mothers. The

evaluation determines the potential for a pesticide to cause adverse

health effects. Health Canada will not register a pesticide that is

known to cause cancer or other illnesses2.

ClearView, as with any pesticide registered in Canada, do

not represent unacceptable risk to human health when used

according to the label directions.

What are the guidelines for entering an area treated with ClearView?

Once the solution has dried, it is safe to enter the treated area.


HERBICIDE SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT



1 http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2017/sc-hc/H110-2016-eng.pdf2 https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/ services/about-pesticides/are-pesticides-safe. html?wbdisable=true

Bodies of water

Health Canada – PMRA completes a full assessment on

potential effects of pesticides on aquatic organisms. As part

of this evaluation Health Canada – PMRA analyzes worst case

scenarios, including direct applications to water. Then they

establish rules or restrictions to mitigate problems, if they exist,

for each product such as buffer zones which is the distance

between water and where the herbicide can be applied.

When label directions for ClearView™ are followed, there are no

unacceptable risks for aquatic organisms or drinking water for

human consumption.

Plant consumption by animals

Health Canada – PMRA evaluates the amount of herbicide

residue that would be present in grains and seeds, fruits, grass,

and leaves to determine the amount an animal would be

exposed to if they ate exclusively from the treated site. ClearView

does not represent a risk of concern to wildlife, domestic animals

or pets when used according to the label.

Pollinators

Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds are examples of pollinators

that feed from flowers, transferring pollen in the process.

Herbicides should not be confused with insecticides. Insecticides

usually target the nervous system in insects, while herbicides

target a specific pathway in plants. These target sites do

not exist in pollinators, including bees. For this reason, when

ClearView is used according to the label, it does not pose an

unacceptable risk to pollinators.

Soil

ClearView is broken down by naturally occurring soil

microorganisms (fungi and bacteria), as well as sunlight. When

the process is complete, the final products are carbon dioxide,

water and other organic materials. How quickly the product

breaks down depends on rainfall and soil temperature.

Nearby ornamentals and gardens

ClearView has the potential to harm any woody or broadleaf

plant that comes in direct contact with the product solution.

Therefore, applicators take great care to apply ClearView only

to targeted vegetation. ClearView will not harm grasses when

applied according to label directions.

Applicators use extra caution to protect your ornamentals or

garden by leaving an untreated buffer zone which adds an extra

measure of protection. A selective, spot application is highly

unlikely to cause damage to ornamentals or gardens. When

making foliar applications, applicators monitor wind speed and

direction to ensure accuracy.

GENERAL INFORMATION ClearView Herbicide, applied as a post emergent, controls annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, invasive plants and shrubs in rangeland, permanent pasture, industrial areas (including but not limited to rights-of-way and military bases) and other non-crop areas. Applications should be avoided under cold or dry conditions or other environmental stresses. Read all precaution statements before using this product. For more information contact your local Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. representative (1-800-667-3852). For best results, apply ClearView Herbicide to plants that are actively growing at time of application. Do not apply when temperatures exceed 28o C. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS ClearView Herbicide is selective and highly active against annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, invasive plants and shrubs. This product is recommended for use on areas where loss of broadleaf forage plants, including legumes, can be tolerated. Injury to or loss of desirable plants may result unless the following precautions are observed. Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable vegetation or on areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not apply on walks, driveways, tennis courts or other similar areas. Do not apply more than 230 grams per hectare of ClearView Herbicide per annual growing season in

rangeland, pasture, industrial, and other non-crop areas. Only one application per growing season is permitted. Areas treated for 24 months of control should be treated no more than every second year. Apply ClearView Herbicide with a recommended surfactant. ClearView Herbicide cannot be applied on domestic or commercial turf grass. Hay cut from treated grass, in the year of application, should only be used on-farm to feed livestock.

The manure or compost from animals fed the treated hay should only be used on registered use sites where the loss of broadleaf forage plants, including legumes, can be tolerated. Contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. for additional information on sensitive broadleaf plant species.


Sensitive Plants ClearView Herbicide works primarily through uptake by plant foliage and translocation throughout the plant. However, secondary herbicide activity may occur through soil uptake of the aminopyralid component of ClearView Herbicide. Very small amount of ClearView Herbicide can kill or damage sensitive broadleaf plants. Only spray pastures if injury to existing forage can be tolerated. Care should be taken to avoid spraying desirable broadleaved plants, during both growing and dormant periods. Avoid application within the drip line (outermost edge of the tree canopy) of desirable coniferous and deciduous trees unless injury can be tolerated. Use special caution when using aminopyralid-based products around species with extensive lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through layering. Clippings or hay from vegetation which has been treated with aminopyralid should not be used for composting or mulching. Aminopyralid residues pass through animals unchanged and are still herbicidally active. The manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated hay should not be used around susceptible plants. Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas onto broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 3 days of grazing on untreated grass pasture. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or www.dowagro.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. DIRECTIONS FOR USE READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Field sprayer application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification.

♦Removal of competing vegetation may result in new Canada thistle shoots emerging. Preharvest/Grazing Intervals for ClearView Herbicide tank mixed with 2,4-D Amine 600. There is no restriction on livestock (except lactating dairy animals) grazing in treated areas Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Allow 3 days of grazing on an untreated pasture (or feed untreated hay) before transferring livestock

to areas where sensitive broadleaf crops may be grown.


TANK-MIX COMBINATION WITH CLEARVIEW HERBICIDE – Non-cropland Uses ClearView Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate (present as isopropylamine salt, diammonium salt, trimethylsulfonium salt, potassium salt or dimethylamine salt, registered for use on non-cropland areas) Arsenal Herbicide, or Garlon XRT Herbicide to broaden the spectrum of weeds, woody plants and trees controlled on rights-of-way, industrial areas (including but not limited to right-of-way and military bases) and other non-crop areas (where bare ground is desirable). The glyphosate and Arsenal Herbicide tank mixes will provide control of most grass and broadleaf species, while the Garlon XRT Herbicide tank-mix will provide control of a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, woody plants and tree species. When a tank mixture is used, follow the most stringent precautions, directions for use, and limitations on the labels of the tank-mix products. Tank-Mix Combination – ClearView Herbicide plus Glyphosate Herbicide Use 135 – 230 g/ha ClearView Herbicide tank mixed with 0.8 – 4.3 kg ai/ha glyphosate herbicide (Equivalent to 1.69 – 9.0 L/ha of VantageTM XRT Herbicide). A surfactant is required. Follow mixing instructions. Tank-Mix Combination - ClearView Herbicide plus Arsenal Herbicide Apply 3.0 L of Arsenal Herbicide per hectare tank mixed with 135 – 230 g/ha of ClearView Herbicide. Tank-Mix Combination - ClearView Herbicide plus Garlon XRT Herbicide Use 135 – 230 g/ha of ClearView Herbicide tank-mixed with 2.5 – 5 L/ha of Garlon XRT Herbicide. Use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway™ Adjuvant, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or recommended non-ionic surfactant such as Ag-Surf, Agral 90, or Citowett Plus) at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. See Garlon XRT Herbicide label for the full list of woody plants and trees controlled. For the control of black spruce, use 230 g of ClearView Herbicide tank-mixed with 4-5 L of Garlon XRT, in 1,000 L/ha for hose and handgun applications and a minimum of 200 L/ha for broadcast applications, along with a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or recommended non-ionic surfactant such as Ag-Surf, Agral 90, or Citowett Plus) at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. MIXING METHODS Mixing with Water 1. Fill the spray tank 3/4 full of clean water 2. Add the required amount of ClearView Herbicide with the agitation running. Pre-slurrying with water

may be necessary where there is little or no agitation or an injection system is being used or where herbicide is first added to a tank other than the spray tank.

3. If tank mixing, add the required amount of the tank-mix partner with the agitation running. 4. Add the recommended surfactant. 5. Add antifoaming agent, if required. APPLICATION METHODS INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT Invasive Plant Management Practices ClearView Herbicide can be applied postemergence as a broadcast spray or as a spot/strip application to control invasive plants. Post emergence applications should be made before bud stage or early flowering, unless otherwise specified. Best results are obtained when the spray volume is sufficient to provide uniform coverage of treated plants. For optimum uptake and translocation of the herbicide, avoid mowing, haying, shredding or disturbing treated areas for at least 7 days following application.


ClearView Herbicide can be an important component of integrated vegetation management programs designed to restore desired plant communities. To maximize and extend the benefits of weed control provided by the ClearView Herbicide, it is important that other vegetation management practices, including proper grazing management, fertilization, prescribed fire, mechanical mowing, hand-pulling, bio control and other methods, be used in appropriate sequences and combinations to further alleviate the adverse effects of invasive plants on desirable plant species and to promote development of desired plant communities. Consult local agriculture and land management resource specialists and/or invasive plant councils. These organizations can provide guidance on best management practices and the development of integrated vegetation management programs. Rapid response to the early detection of new invasive plants is a key invasive plant management strategy. Containment, eradication and control are essential for the management of spreading and established invasive plants. Rangeland and Pasture Areas Make only one application per year for control of invasive plants. For best results, invasive plants should be treated when they are actively growing and under conditions favourable for growth. The Reclaim Herbicide tank-mix also provides preemergence control of germinating seeds and control of emerged seedlings of susceptible plants following application. To reduce the spread of invasive plants, it is important to treat identified invasive plants in the target area while observing required buffer zones for broadcast applications. Return when the wind is blowing from the opposite direction to complete spraying the targeted plant population. Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications An important component of Invasive Plant Management programs is early detection and eradication. The instructions for individual plant or spot or strip applications can be used to stop the spread of invasive plants. This is particularly important in riparian areas, where spot application is preferable to broadcast treatment. Use the following mixing chart to mix ClearView with enough water and surfactant to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip applications, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray susceptible invasive plants. Note that use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats.

Aerial Application Use ClearView Herbicide alone, or tank mixed with 2,4-D amine herbicide, glyphosate herbicide or Garlon XRT Herbicide, as a broadcast treatment by air to control listed broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply ClearView Herbicide at the recommended rates in a minimum spray volume of 30 L/ha by air. For better coverage use 50 litres/ha. Follow all instructions under Mixing Methods for surfactant requirements and order of mixing. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for additional instructions, directions for aerial application and precautions.


Consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture. Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate swath marking devices. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing should be laundered regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Avoid spray drift at the application site. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Users are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications: 1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of

the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards

more than 45 degrees.


Sprayer Clean-Out Instructions To avoid injury to desirable plants, thoroughly clean equipment used to apply this product before re-use or using it to apply other chemicals. 1. Immediately after spraying, completely drain the sprayer tank. Any contamination on the outside of

the spraying equipment should be removed by washing with clean water. 2. First rinse:

Spray the inside of tank with clean water and fill the sprayer with at least one tenth of the spray tank volume.

Agitate and circulate for 15 minutes, and flush through booms and hoses. Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution


Drain tank completely. 3. Second rinse:

Fill the tank with clean water. Add All Clear Spray Tank Decontaminator, or Clean-Out Spray Tank Cleaner, or 1 L of household


Agitate and then flush the boom and hoses with the cleaning solution. Top up with water making sure the tank is completely full. Allow to stand for 15 minutes with agitation. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the spray booms. Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.

If possible, let the solution stand in the sprayer tank and booms for an extended period of time, overnight if possible.

After flushing the boom and hoses, drain tank completely. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately with a cleaning agent or an ammonia solution


Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the boom and hoses using at least one tenth of the spray tank volume.

Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.

Drain tank completely. Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty odour which may cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. Buffer zones Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.


The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, ClearView Herbicide is a Group 2 and Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to ClearView Herbicide and other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of ClearView Herbicide or other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides

within a growing season (sequence) or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.

Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(s) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.

Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.

Monitor weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.

Have suspected resistant weed seeds tested by a qualified laboratory to confirm resistance and identify alternative herbicide options.

Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or at www.dowagro.ca.

NO SPRAY

DRIP LINEDRIP LINE

When to apply • Apply to target weeds, shrubs and trees when they are actively growing.

• Only weeds, shrubs and trees present at the time of application will be controlled.


– Shrubs: Apply to actively growing shrubs, after full leaf expansion, but prior to the development of a waxy cuticle on the leaf of the shrubs.

– Trees: Apply after full leafout to actively growing trees, prior to autumn colouration.

Rainfast 2 hours

Mixing instructions 1. Fill the spray tank 3⁄4 full of clean water.

2. Add the required amount of ClearView™ herbicide with the agitation running. Pre-slurrying with water may be necessary where there is little or no agitation, or an injection system is being used, or where herbicide is first added to a tank other than the spray tank.

3. Add the required amount of Garlon™ XRT herbicide with the agitation running.

4. Add the required amount of Gateway™ adjuvant at 0.25-0.375% by volume.

5. Add antifoaming agent, such as Halt™, if required.

Optimizing performance

• For best results, apply to actively growing weeds, shrubs and trees. Avoid applying to plants under stress.

• Pre-slurrying ClearView is recommended.

• Use higher rates when hard-to-control species such as ash, chokecherry, elm, maple (other than vine or big leaf), oak or pine are present. If lower rates are used on hard to-control species, resprouting may occur and re-treatment may be necessary the following year.

• Avoid applications in hot temperatures. If temperatures reach 28 C or higher, cease applications for the day.

Tree safety ClearView Brush should NOT be used over the top of desirable trees. Application may be made up to the drip line (outermost edge of the branches) of desirable trees. Use additional caution around lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through root shoots.

Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control centre or doctor for further treatment advice. If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION No specific antidote. Employ supportive care. Treatment should be based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS TOXIC to terrestrial and aquatic plants. Observe terrestrial and aquatic buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g., sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast, as runoff water may flow onto adjacent areas and injure crops and other desirable non-target vegetation.

Contact the manufacturer and the provincial regulatory agency in case of a spill, and for clean-up of spills. GENERAL INFORMATION ClearView Herbicide, applied as a post emergent, controls annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, invasive plants and shrubs in rangeland, permanent pasture, industrial areas (including but not limited to rights-of-way and military bases) and other non-crop areas. Applications should be avoided under cold or dry conditions or other environmental stresses. Read all precaution statements before using this product. For more information contact your local Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. representative (1-800-667-3852). For best results, apply ClearView Herbicide to plants that are actively growing at time of application. Do not apply when temperatures exceed 28o C. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS ClearView Herbicide is selective and highly active against annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, invasive plants and shrubs. This product is recommended for use on areas where loss of broadleaf forage plants, including legumes, can be tolerated. Injury to or loss of desirable plants may result unless the following precautions are observed. Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable vegetation or on areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not apply on walks, driveways, tennis courts or other similar areas. Do not apply more than 230 grams per hectare of ClearView Herbicide per annual growing season in

rangeland, pasture, industrial, and other non-crop areas. Only one application per growing season is permitted. Areas treated for 24 months of control should be treated no more than every second year. Apply ClearView Herbicide with a recommended surfactant. ClearView Herbicide cannot be applied on domestic or commercial turf grass. Hay cut from treated grass, in the year of application, should only be used on-farm to feed livestock.



Sensitive Plants ClearView Herbicide works primarily through uptake by plant foliage and translocation throughout the plant. However, secondary herbicide activity may occur through soil uptake of the aminopyralid component of ClearView Herbicide. Very small amount of ClearView Herbicide can kill or damage sensitive broadleaf plants. Only spray pastures if injury to existing forage can be tolerated. Care should be taken to avoid spraying desirable broadleaved plants, during both growing and dormant periods. Avoid application within the drip line (outermost edge of the tree canopy) of desirable coniferous and deciduous trees unless injury can be tolerated. Use special caution when using aminopyralid-based products around species with extensive lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through layering. Clippings or hay from vegetation which has been treated with aminopyralid should not be used for composting or mulching. Aminopyralid residues pass through animals unchanged and are still herbicidally active. The manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated hay should not be used around susceptible plants. Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas onto broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 3 days of grazing on untreated grass pasture. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or www.dowagro.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. DIRECTIONS FOR USE READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Field sprayer application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Aerial application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.


INDUSTRIAL AREAS (INCLUDING RIGHTS-OF-WAY), OTHER NON-CROP AREAS, RANGELAND AND PERMANENT PASTURE CLEARVIEW HERBICIDE ALONE Apply ClearView Herbicide at a rate of 135 – 230 g/ha. Apply when targeted undesirable vegetation is actively growing. Only weeds and brush present at the time of application will be controlled. Removal of competing vegetation may result in new Canada thistle shoots emerging. Apply using aerial equipment with a minimum of 30 litres spray volume/ha or ground equipment with a minimum of 110 L spray volume/ha, that will assure uniform coverage. For better coverage use 50 litres/ha for aerial application and 200 litres/ha for ground application. Follow all instructions under Mixing Methods for surfactant requirements and order of mixing.

TANK-MIX COMBINATION WITH CLEARVIEW HERBICIDE – Non-cropland Uses ClearView Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate (present as isopropylamine salt, diammonium salt, trimethylsulfonium salt, potassium salt or dimethylamine salt, registered for use on non-cropland areas) Arsenal Herbicide, or Garlon XRT Herbicide to broaden the spectrum of weeds, woody plants and trees controlled on rights-of-way, industrial areas (including but not limited to right-of-way and military bases) and other non-crop areas (where bare ground is desirable). The glyphosate and Arsenal Herbicide tank mixes will provide control of most grass and broadleaf species, while the Garlon XRT Herbicide tank-mix will provide control of a broad spectrum of broadleaf weeds, woody plants and tree species. When a tank mixture is used, follow the most stringent precautions, directions for use, and limitations on the labels of the tank-mix products. Tank-Mix Combination – ClearView Herbicide plus Glyphosate Herbicide Use 135 – 230 g/ha ClearView Herbicide tank mixed with 0.8 – 4.3 kg ai/ha glyphosate herbicide (Equivalent to 1.69 – 9.0 L/ha of VantageTM XRT Herbicide). A surfactant is required. Follow mixing instructions. Tank-Mix Combination - ClearView Herbicide plus Arsenal Herbicide Apply 3.0 L of Arsenal Herbicide per hectare tank mixed with 135 – 230 g/ha of ClearView Herbicide. Tank-Mix Combination - ClearView Herbicide plus Garlon XRT Herbicide Use 135 – 230 g/ha of ClearView Herbicide tank-mixed with 2.5 – 5 L/ha of Garlon XRT Herbicide. Use a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway™ Adjuvant, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or recommended non-ionic surfactant such as Ag-Surf, Agral 90, or Citowett Plus) at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. See Garlon XRT Herbicide label for the full list of woody plants and trees controlled. For the control of black spruce, use 230 g of ClearView Herbicide tank-mixed with 4-5 L of Garlon XRT, in 1,000 L/ha for hose and handgun applications and a minimum of 200 L/ha for broadcast applications, along with a recommended surfactant (such as Gateway Adjuvant, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, or recommended non-ionic surfactant such as Ag-Surf, Agral 90, or Citowett Plus) at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See surfactant label for a full list of recommended rates. Some surfactants require rates ranging from 0.2 to 1%. MIXING METHODS Mixing with Water 1. Fill the spray tank 3/4 full of clean water 2. Add the required amount of ClearView Herbicide with the agitation running. Pre-slurrying with water


3. If tank mixing, add the required amount of the tank-mix partner with the agitation running. 4. Add the recommended surfactant. 5. Add antifoaming agent, if required. APPLICATION METHODS INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT Invasive Plant Management Practices ClearView Herbicide can be applied postemergence as a broadcast spray or as a spot/strip application to control invasive plants. Post emergence applications should be made before bud stage or early flowering, unless otherwise specified. Best results are obtained when the spray volume is sufficient to provide uniform coverage of treated plants. For optimum uptake and translocation of the herbicide, avoid mowing, haying, shredding or disturbing treated areas for at least 7 days following application.


ClearView Herbicide can be an important component of integrated vegetation management programs designed to restore desired plant communities. To maximize and extend the benefits of weed control provided by the ClearView Herbicide, it is important that other vegetation management practices, including proper grazing management, fertilization, prescribed fire, mechanical mowing, hand-pulling, bio control and other methods, be used in appropriate sequences and combinations to further alleviate the adverse effects of invasive plants on desirable plant species and to promote development of desired plant communities. Consult local agriculture and land management resource specialists and/or invasive plant councils. These organizations can provide guidance on best management practices and the development of integrated vegetation management programs. Rapid response to the early detection of new invasive plants is a key invasive plant management strategy. Containment, eradication and control are essential for the management of spreading and established invasive plants. Rangeland and Pasture Areas Make only one application per year for control of invasive plants. For best results, invasive plants should be treated when they are actively growing and under conditions favourable for growth. The Reclaim Herbicide tank-mix also provides preemergence control of germinating seeds and control of emerged seedlings of susceptible plants following application. To reduce the spread of invasive plants, it is important to treat identified invasive plants in the target area while observing required buffer zones for broadcast applications. Return when the wind is blowing from the opposite direction to complete spraying the targeted plant population. Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications An important component of Invasive Plant Management programs is early detection and eradication. The instructions for individual plant or spot or strip applications can be used to stop the spread of invasive plants. This is particularly important in riparian areas, where spot application is preferable to broadcast treatment. Use the following mixing chart to mix ClearView with enough water and surfactant to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip applications, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray susceptible invasive plants. Note that use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats.

Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate swath marking devices. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing should be laundered regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Avoid spray drift at the application site. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Users are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications: 1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of


more than 45 degrees.
















Drain tank completely. Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty odour which may cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. Buffer zones Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

NOTE: The spray drift buffer zones for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.


RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, ClearView Herbicide is a Group 2 and Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to ClearView Herbicide and other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of ClearView Herbicide or other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides

GENERAL INFORMATION Garlon XRT Herbicide is recommended for the control of undesirable woody plants and annual and perennial broadleaved weeds in pastures and rangelands; in non-crop areas, including: rights-of-way, electrical power lines, communication lines, pipelines, roadsides and railroads, fencerows and around farm buildings, military bases, industrial, manufacturing and storage sites; and in forest and woodland management areas (refer to “RESTRICTED USE AERIAL APPLICATION FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT AREAS (GREATER THAN 500 HECTARES) AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT AREAS (500 HECTARES OR LESS)”). Among the woody plants controlled at the lower rate are: alder elderberry pines ash elm poplar aspen hawthorn red maple basswood hickory raspberry beech hop-hornbeam sassafras birch honey locust sumac blackberry locust sycamore buckthorn maples tamarack cherry mulberry wild rose chokecherry oaks willow cottonwood poison oak witchhazel dogwood These species may require treatment at the higher rate and may need to be retreated the following year, particularly if the original treatment was made at the lower rate. Among the annual and perennial broadleaved weeds controlled are: burdock field bindweed smooth bedstraw chicory lamb’s-quarters vetch curled dock ragweed wild lettuce dandelion smartweed GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Do not apply this product in a manner inconsistent with the label.

Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with desirable crops or other desirable broadleaved plants or non-target species and do not permit spray mists containing Garlon XRT Herbicide to drift onto them.

Avoid Spray Drift Apply only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible crops and damage sensitive non-target habitat. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions (stable air) such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the spray site or a smoke generator on the spray equipment. If the smoke develops into layers or indicates a potential for hazardous spray drift, DO NOT SPRAY. PREHARVEST/GRAZING INTERVALS Treated areas may be grazed by livestock or harvested for livestock feed provided that the following intervals are adhered to:


Grazing or harvesting green forage 1. Lactating dairy animals

a) Up to 3 L/ha: withhold lactating dairy animals from consuming treated green forage for 14 days following treatment

b) 3 to 5 L/ha: withhold lactating dairy animals from consuming treated forage for 60 days following treatment.

2. Other livestock a) Up to 3 L/ha: no grazing restriction. b) 3 to 5 L/ha: do not graze or harvest green forage from treated area for 14 days following

treatment.

NOTE : If less than 25% of a grazed area is treated, there is no grazing restriction (for other livestock only). Haying (harvesting of dried forage) 1. Lactating dairy animals

a) For treatments up to 5 L/ha do not feed lactating dairy animals hay which had been harvested within 60 days of treatment.

2. Other livestock a) Up to 3 L/ha: do not harvest for 7 days following treatment. b) 3 to 5 L/ha: do not harvest hay for 14 days following treatment.

Slaughter Withhold Withdraw livestock from grazing treated grass or consumption of treated hay at least 3 days prior to slaughter. DIRECTIONS FOR USE General For best results, applications of Garlon XRT Herbicide should be made when woody plants and weeds are actively growing. Use higher rates when hard-to-control species such as ash, chokecherry, elm, maple (other than vine or big leaf), oaks or pine are present. If lower rates are used on hard-to-control species, resprouting may occur and retreatment may be necessary the following year. Garlon XRT can be applied alone or with Gateway Adjuvant at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See Gateway Adjuvant label for a full list of recommended rates. Inclusion of Gateway Adjuvant in the spray solution with Garlon XRT will provide improved and more consistent control. When using a drift control agent, follow the manufacturer’s directions for the correct mixing sequence. Ground Application Consult with the appropriate provincial authorities about use permits and the establishment of buffer zones. Use Precautions Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to non-target plants, aquatic species or sensitive habitat, ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained and refer to the section Spray Drift Control. Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and parks is minimal.


Do not use this product as a broadcast foliar spray in residential areas. Residential areas are defined as sites where bystanders including children may be potentially exposed during or after spraying. This includes around homes, schools, parks, playgrounds, playing fields, public buildings or any other areas where the general public including children could be exposed. Do not use this product more than once per year. Spray Drift Control The potential for spray drift with ground broadcast applications can be reduced by: Apply a coarse spray using large droplet producing nozzle tips. Do not apply with cone-type

insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Use of Radiarc or Nalco-Trol or an equivalent drift control system or additive. Keep the spray boom as low as possible. Use a spray pressure no greater than is required to obtain a proper spray pattern for adequate plant

coverage. For ground application, do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide when wind velocity and direction pose a

risk of spray drift. Apply when wind speed is low. For aerial application, please refer to “Use Precautions” for appropriate buffer zones under “Restricted Use.”

If a spray thickening agent is used, follow all use directions and precautions on the product label. When using a power sprayer and handgun, direct sprays no higher than the tops of the target plants.

GROUND EQUIPMENT APPLICATIONS Single Stem Foliar For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height, use Garlon XRT Herbicide at rates of 2.5 to 5 L in enough water to make 1000 L of spray solution. Use the higher rate for late summer application when growth rates are reduced or when hard-to-control species are present. Spray brush to the point of runoff. Coverage should be thorough to wet all foliage. To minimize spray drift do not use pressures exceeding 1400 kPa at the spray nozzle. Direct the spray away from crops or desired non-target vegetation. Use of a drift control system is suggested to minimize spray drift. For woody plants exceeding 2.5 m in height cut and spray regrowth or use one of the basal application methods. Low Volume Foliar For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height use this technique with knapsack or backpack sprayers equipped with flat fan or solid cone nozzles. Power sprayers and handguns may also be used. For control of woody plants, mix 0.6 to 3 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough water to make 100 L of spray solution. Use of a rate in the upper end of the recommended range is suggested for control of basal sprouting and root suckering species and for tall, dense brush. Direct the spray solution to thoroughly wet the foliage of the target plants but not to the point of runoff. Apply after full leafout, but before autumn colouration. For woody plants exceeding 2.5 m in height cut and spray regrowth or use one of the basal application methods. Broadcast Foliar For woody plant control and broadleaved weed control, make applications with equipment that will assure uniform coverage of the low spray volume applied. Do not use pressure exceeding 275 kPa at the spray nozzle. Apply any time during the growing season. Use the higher rates for late summer applications when growth rates are reduced or when hard-to-control species are present. Woody Plant Control Mix 2.5 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum of 200 L of water per hectare to ensure uniform coverage. Broadleaved Weed Control Mix 0.6 to 2.5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum of 200 L of water per hectare to ensure uniform coverage.


BASAL BARK APPLICATIONS General Information and Mixing Instructions For control of woody plants in rights-of-way, military bases, industrial sites and non-crop areas, use Garlon XRT Herbicide in oil mixtures prepared and applied as described below. Use a diluent such as mineral oil or vegetable oil. Add Garlon XRT Herbicide to the required amount of oil in the mixing tank and mix thoroughly. When mixing with oils commercially formulated for basal bark herbicide applications, read and follow the use directions and precautions on the product label prepared by the oil’s manufacturer. Use the higher spray mixture concentration of Garlon XRT Herbicide when treating basal sprouting and root suckering species or when applying during the dormant season. Use low nozzle pressure to minimize spattering of spray solution off the target stem. One-Sided Low Volume To control woody plants with stems less than 15 cm in basal diameter, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil diluent to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply with a knapsack or backpack sprayer using a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Spray the basal parts of at least one side of each stem to thoroughly wet the lower 30 cm, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the ground line. Streamline To control woody plants, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply using a knapsack or backpack sprayer with a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Apply sufficient spray to one side of stems less than 8 cm in basal diameter to form a band 5 cm in width. When the optimum amount of spray mixture is applied, the treated zone should widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30 minutes. Treat both sides of stems which are 8 to 15 cm in basal diameter. Direct the spray at a point on the stem that is approximately 30 to 50 cm above ground level. Optimal results are achieved when applications are made to young vigorously growing stems which have not developed the thicker bark characteristics of slower growing, understory trees in older stands. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the desired height above ground level. Cut Stump Treatment To control resprouting of cut stumps of woody species, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply the solution to thoroughly wet the outer portion of the cut surface adjacent to the cambium and the sides of the stumps, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying to the ground line. Care must be given to ensure treatment of all cut stems in a clump. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using a flat fan or a solid cone nozzle. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended.

Among the species controlled are: alder elderberry pines ash elm poplar aspen hawthorn red maple basswood hickory raspberry beech hop-hornbeam sassafras birch honey locust sumac blackberry locust sycamore buckthorn maples tamarack cherry mulberry wild rose chokecherry oaks willow cottonwood poison oak witchhazel dogwood

These species may require treatment at the higher rate and may need to be retreated the following year, particularly if the original treatment was made at the lower rate.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AERIAL APPLICATION Garlon XRT Herbicide may be applied by either fixed or rotary wing aircraft for the control of susceptible woody plants growing on rights-of-way, industrial sites and military bases. Use 2.5 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum spray volume of 30 L per hectare. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as D8-46 or D10-46), the Microfoil boom or the Thru-Valve boom. Ensure uniform and adequate coverage is achieved and that equipment has been accurately calibrated. Use higher application rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions.

USE PRECAUTIONS Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of the label, ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained as outlined below. Use only closed mixing/loading systems for aerial application.


BUFFER ZONE TABLES FOR GARLON XRT HERBICIDE A. BUFFER ZONES FROM AQUATIC HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water. Appropriate buffer zones, based on aircraft type, boom height, droplet spectrum, and rate of application, are as follows. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind directions, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. APPLICATION BY FIXED WING AIRCRAFT

B. BUFFER ZONES FROM TERRESTRIAL HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into sensitive terrestrial wildlife habitats. Consult the Provincial Pesticide Authority regarding the determination of these areas. Appropriate buffer zones, based on aircraft type, boom height, droplet spectrum, and rate of application, are as follows. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind directions, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. APPLICATION BY FIXED WING AIRCRAFT

Spray Drift Control Apply only when there is little or no hazard of spray drift since small quantities of product may injure susceptible crops and damage sensitive non-target habitats. 1. Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. 2. Do not apply when the wind speed is greater than 16 km/hr. 3. Garlon XRT Herbicide should not be applied at a boom height greater than 30 m above the target

vegetation.


4. Aerial application should be made as close to the ground as possible while maintaining adequate coverage.

5. For helicopter application use pressures at the lower end of the range recommended by the nozzle manufacturer. For fixed wing application use pressures at the higher end of the range recommended by the nozzle manufacturer.

6. Use a boom length less than 75% of the wing span or rotor length. 7. Coarse spray droplets are less prone to drift, therefore avoid spray dispersal systems and settings

that produce a large proportion of fine droplets in the spray pattern. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as D8-46 or D10-46), straight stream coreless nozzles (such as D6 or D8), and the Microfoil or Thru-Valve boom. Conventional disc and core nozzles should be oriented straight back or at an angle of less than 30˚ down.

8. Do not apply by air when an air temperature inversion exists. Such condition is characterized by little or no wind and an air temperature near the ground that is lower than at higher levels. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the site.

RESTRICTED USE AERIAL APPLICATION FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT AREAS (GREATER THAN 500 HECTARES) AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT AREAS (500 HECTARES OR LESS): This includes site preparation prior to planting crop trees and release of crop trees following planting or in natural regeneration sites. NOTICE TO USER: This pest control product is to be used only in accordance with the directions on the label. It is an offence under the Pest Control Products Act to use this product in a way that is inconsistent with the directions on the label. The user assumes the risk to persons or property that arises from any such use of this product. NATURE OF RESTRICTION: This product is to be used only in the manner authorized; consult provincial pesticide regulatory authorities about use permits. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Aerial Application Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices Use Precautions Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.


Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the precautions and application rates set out below. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates and is not labelled for application to water surfaces. Keep out of wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g., sandy soil) and/or where the depth to the water table is shallow. Aerial application must only be done on the basis of provincial use permit. Buffer zones are specified to protect the sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of this label. Among the species controlled are: red alder pin cherry red oak speckled alder bigleaf maple balsam poplar white ash red maple raspberry trembling aspen sugar maple▼ willow white birch♦ ♦White birch is best controlled through the use of any one of the foliar application methods. ▼Sugar maple and bigleaf maple are best controlled through the use of any one of the basal bark application methods.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: AERIAL APPLICATION Garlon XRT Herbicide may be applied by either fixed or rotary wing aircraft. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as the D8-46 or D10-46), the Microfoil boom or the Thru-Valve boom. Ensure uniform and adequate coverage is achieved and that equipment has been accurately calibrated. Use higher application rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions. Plantation or Natural Stand Release To release crop trees such as black spruce and white spruce from raspberry and deciduous competition, apply 1.9 to 3.8 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide with water in a minimum of 30 L of total spray solution per hectare. The higher rates are suggested for control of basal sprouting or root suckering species and for tall, dense brush.


Application should be made in late summer after conifers have hardened off (buds firm and sharp to the touch) and when deciduous species are in full leaf prior to autumn colouration. To release jack pine, use 1.9 to 2.5 L per hectare of Garlon XRT Herbicide. Jack pine injury including needle damage, leader atrophy and scattered mortality may occur at application rates above 2.5 L per hectare or if seedlings are not completely dormant. Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide to release jack pine stands unless such injury can be tolerated. The potential for jack pine injury can be reduced by ensuring that trees are not in lammas or secondary growth stage. Healthy, vigorous jack pine seedlings in the ground for at least two years prior to application, are less likely to show symptoms of injury. Site Preparation Apply 1.9 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide with water in a minimum of 30 L of total spray solution per hectare. The higher rates are suggested for control of basal sprouting or root suckering species and for tall, dense brush. Applications should be made after full leaf-out of target species, but prior to autumn colouration. Any coniferous silvicultural species may be planted in the season following treatment. USE PRECAUTIONS Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of the label ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained as outlined below. Use only closed mixing/loading systems for aerial application. BUFFER ZONE TABLES FOR GARLON XRT HERBICIDE A. BUFFER ZONES FROM AQUATIC HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water.

A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions, such as the use of balloons, a spotter plane or a continuous smoke column at or near the site.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Garlon XRT Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Garlon XRT Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Garlon XRT Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing

season (sequence) or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF type) or protein foams are preferred if available. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) may function.

Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Consider feasibility of a controlled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam fire extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible contamination. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS. Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves).

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • Garlon™ RTU herbicide is packaged in 13 L jerriboxes and can be added directly to backpack spayers.

• It is formulated to be used right out of the container. No mixing is required.

• Garlon RTU is designed for selective, direct stem application to woody species.

Application methods Streamline

This has proven to be the fastest and most effective method of selective basal bark application. Best results are on young, actively growing stems less than 8 cm in diameter.

• Achieving complete “wrap” of the solution around the entire stem circumference is essential for effectiveness.

• Spray 30-50 cm above ground level:

– For stems less than 8 cm basal diameter, spray a band 5 cm wide on one side of each stem.

– For stems 8-15 cm basal diameter, spray a band 5 cm wide on two sides of each stem (two-sided streamline).

• With sufficient volume, the treated zone should widen to encircle the entire stem circumference within 30 minutes.

Cut Stump Treatment

This method is excellent for prevention of re-sprouting. It also reduces the need for repeated cutting of large diameter stumps of species that sprout from the base or suck from roots. Applications may be made to both old and freshly cut stumps.

Thoroughly wet the stump, including:

• Cut surfaces, especially the cambium layer just inside the bark.

• The remaining bark to the ground line, including the root collar.

When to apply • Optimal results are achieved when applications are made to young, vigorously growing stems that have not developed the thicker bark characteristic of slower growing older trees.

• For best results, apply when stem and bark are dry.

• Garlon RTU can be applied at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the ground line.

5cm

“Free water” on stems resulting from melting frost, wet snow or rain, causes emulsification and failure to penetrate bark during streamline and stump treatments. Emulsified herbicide can run down the treated stem like water, showing no evidence of “wrap.” If the wetting front formed by the oil in the bark does not wrap, then control is likely to be incomplete. Tips for best results include:

Frost

If no emulsification occurs (dry frost), then the solution is working. If the oil solution does not penetrate the frost (ice), shut down the application. Watch for frost as temperature rises above 0 C and moisture appears on stems.

Potential spray drift

Keep application pressure low to prevent vapour drift. Small quantities of vapour drift, which may not be visible, can seriously injure susceptible plants and sensitive non-target vegetation.

Rain

Basal bark and cut stump applications cannot be made to wet stumps or emulsification may occur and the target trees will not be controlled. However, rain immediately after an application will not affect the efficacy of the product as it will have already entered the bark.

Snow

When snow prevents access to ground line at the base of target trees, one-sided application should be stopped. Two-sided streamline application should be used on larger stems to ensure wrap.

Temperature

Garlon™ RTU herbicide can be applied at temperatures below –10 C anytime throughout the year. However, if temperature drops too low, and coagulation begins to occur, applicators should stop operations.

Package disposal • Garlon RTU containers should not be reused for any purpose. For disposal, return to Univar Environmental Sciences™ (UES) as per their instructions.

• If the cardboard shows no sign of pesticide contamination, remove the plastic bag inserts and recycle the cardboard box locally. Collect empty plastic bags together and do not triple rinse.

• Return the plastic bag inserts or the whole package to Univar Environmental Services (UES) as per their instructions by contacting a Univar representative at 1-866-572-8240.

Grazing There is no restriction on livestock grazing treated areas.



Garlon™ XRT and Garlon™ RTU are herbicides that professional vegetation managers use to control unwanted weeds, deciduous brush and trees along right of ways such as electrical power lines, roadsides and pipelines. They are important management tools in effective vegetation management programs.

WHAT ARE GARLON™ XRT HERBICIDE AND GARLON™ RTU HERBICIDE?

129

Garlon™ XRT & Garlon™ RTU HERBICIDE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Mowing and trimming are important parts of any right of way maintenance program, but mechanical means alone do not provide a long-term sustainable solution for managing vegetation along right of ways. Mechanical control can reduce pollinator habitat, distribute weed seeds and cause some plant species to re-sprout rapidly resulting in increased density of the stand. Inaddition, flying debris and cutting equipment can be dangerous to animals, wildlife, work crews and surrounding property. Mechanical control also needs to be repeated frequently in order to maintain the right of way.

Selective application of Garlon™ XRT or Garlon™ RTU herbicide allows desirable species to flourish which increases biodiversity. It is less disruptive to the landscape and controls the entire plant so crews only need to visit the right of way for vegetation management once every two to four years. Integrated vegetation management programs use both mechanical and herbicidecontrol strategies and are proven to be the safest, most cost effectivelong-term vegetation management strategy.

Right of Way Vegetation: Control and Options

Why use Garlon™? Can’t you just cut Vegetation?

Why does Vegetation Along a Right of Way Need to be Controlled?

Safety is the major reason for managing vegetation along right of ways. Trees, brush and weeds along right of ways can create safety hazards. For driver and passenger safety, vegetation cannot block traffic signs or roadside markers. It must not conceal guardrails or overtake road shoulders. Vegetation must not obstruct drivervision at intersections or block the line of sight around curves. Excessive vegetation also prevents proper drainage, which damages roadbeds by creating potholes and other hazards. Trees growing into power lines can cause electrical power outages and make maintenance difficult and dangerous. Additionally, areas around utility substations and land beneath transmission towers require a vegetation-free zone to prevent fire hazards and ensure the transfer of electricity.

Railway companies need to control weeds along their right of ways to maintain the ballast. Weeds hold water around railway ties causing them to rot, increasing chances for derailment accidents. Sparks from the rails can also ignite weeds and brush growing too close to the ballast, which can create a fire hazard for neighbouring residents. Brush that obstructs motorists’ views at railway crossings is

Herbicides interrupt or modify a biologicalprocess within the plant that leads to theplant being controlled. There are manydifferent biological pathways within aplant and they can vary between species.Because of this, a herbicide can beconsidered “selective” – it will affect plants with certain biological pathways,but if a plant does not have that pathway,it will not be impacted. These pathwaysdo not exist in other organisms either,including humans and animals. For thisreason herbicides, when used accordingto the label, only effect the plants they aredesigned to control. Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU’s activeingredient works like a growth regulatorfound only in plants. It enters treated vegetation through leaves, stems and bark, and uses the plant’s own transportation system to move into the roots and leaves. It induces rapid growth, which disrupts food production and causes the plant to be controlled due to lack of nutrients. Applicators canselectively target the species of concernand leave the desirable species tocontinue growing.

HERBICIDEGarlon™ XRT & Garlon™ RTU



Herbicide Regulation in Canada

Before a herbicide can be sold in Canada, it must be registered by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a division of Health Canada. Pesticides are one of the most stringently regulated products in Canada. The PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including biologists, chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists and entomologists, for the sole purpose of evaluating pesticides. Before a pesticide can be approved for use in Canada, the PMRA requires that it undergo a thorough scientific review and safety assessment to ensure it meets Health Canada’s standards. Only those products that meet these strict health and environmental standards can be registered by the PMRA for use or sale in Canada. A herbicide product will not be registered in Canada unless a health and environmental assessment shows that no harm to human health and the environment will result when used according to the label.

Who Regulates the Registration of Herbicides in Canada?

• An examination of all sources and routes (oral, dermal, inhalation of potential exposure to a given pesticide, including exposure through diet, from drinking water and from contact with treated areas like lawns and gardens




What is Included in the PMRA’s Science‑Based Risk Assessment?



Registered products are re-evaluated regularly to ensure they continue to meet current high-level scientific safety standards.Health Canada also conducts regular investigations and inspections to ensure only registered products are used in Canadaand that they are used according to label directions.

HERBICIDE

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU have thepotential to harm any woody or broadleafplant that comes in direct contact with theproduct solution. Therefore, applicatorstake great care to apply Garlon XRT andGarlon RTU only to targeted vegetationspecified by the vegetation manager.Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU will notharm grasses.

Crews use extra caution to protect yourornamentals or garden by leaving anuntreated buffer zone which adds anextra measure of protection. The basalapplication technique is highly unlikely tocause damage to ornamentals or gardens.When making foliar applications, crewsmonitor wind speed and direction toensure accuracy.

Nearby Ornamentals and Gardens

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU are broken down by naturally occurring soilmicroorganisms (fungi and bacteria), as well as sunlight. When the process is complete, the final products are carbon dioxide, water and other organic materials How quickly the product breaks down depends on rainfall and soil temperature. The time required to break down 50 percent of the active ingredient is approximately 30 days.

Herbicide Safety and the Environment

Health Canada – PMRA completes afull assessment on potential effects ofpesticides on aquatic organisms. As partof this evaluation Health Canada – PMRAanalyzes worst case scenarios, includingdirect applications to water. Then theyestablish rules or restrictions to mitigateproblems, if they exist, for each productsuch as buffer zones which is the distancebetween water and where the herbicidecan be applied. When label directions forGarlon XRT and Garlon RTU are followed,there are no unacceptable risks foraquatic organisms or drinking water forhuman consumption.

Bodies of Water

Health Canada – PMRA evaluates theamount of herbicide residue that would bepresent in grains and seeds, fruits, grass,and leaves to determine the amount ananimal would be exposed to if they ateexclusively from the treated site. Garlon XRTand Garlon RTU do not represent a risk ofconcern to wildlife, domestic animals orpets when used according to the label.

Plant Consumption by Animals

Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds areexamples of pollinators that feed fromflowers, transferring pollen in the process.Herbicides should not be confused withinsecticides. Insecticides usually targetthe nervous system in insects, whileherbicides target a specific pathway inplants. These target sites do not existin pollinators, including bees. For thisreason, Corteva Agriscience™ herbicides,including Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU,when used according to the label, do notpose an unacceptable risk to pollinators.

Pollinators

Herbicides and Human Health

Prior to registering a product, Health Canada – PMRA completes a human health risk assessment that focuses on vulnerable populations, including children and expecting mothers. Theevaluation determines the potential for a pesticide to cause adverse health effects. Health Canada will not register apesticide that is known to cause cancer or other illnesses2. Garlon™ XRT and Garlon™ RTU, as with any pesticide registered in Canada, do not represent unacceptable risk to human health when used according to the label directions.

What is the Impact of Garlon™ onHuman Health?

Once the solution has dried, it is safe toenter the treated area.

What are the Guidelines for Entering an Area Treated with Garlon?

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU are not registered for use on food crops, so due to the absence of supporting data, consumption of berries from treated areas in the year of application should be avoided. In the following years, berries may be harvested and eaten.

Can I eat Berries that have been Treated with Garlon?

GENERAL INFORMATION Garlon RTU Herbicide is recommended for the selective control of individual undesirable woody plants in pastures and rangelands, forest and woodland management areas and in non-crop areas, including: rights-of-way, electrical power lines, communication lines, pipelines, roadsides and railroads, fencerows and around farm buildings, military bases, industrial, manufacturing and storage sites.


Among the woody plants controlled are: alder elderberry poplar ash elm red maple aspen hawthorn sassafras basswood hickory sumac beech hop-hornbeam sycamore birch honey locust tamarack blackberry locust wild rose buckthorn maples willow cherry mulberry witchhazel chokecherry oaks cottonwood pines dogwood These species may need to be retreated the following year. DIRECTIONS FOR USE For best results, applications of Garlon RTU Herbicide should be made when woody plants are actively growing. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT apply by air. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of

equipment or disposal of wastes. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control

aquatic pests. Do not use this product more than once per year. Apply only when potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as

houses, cottages, schools and parks is minimal. Do not use this product as a broadcast foliar spray in residential areas. Residential areas are defined

as sites where bystanders including children may be potentially exposed during or after spraying. This includes around homes, schools, parks, playgrounds, playing fields, public buildings or any other areas where the general public, including children, could be exposed.

Slaughter Withhold Withdraw livestock from grazing treated grass or consumption of treated hay at least 3 days prior to slaughter. DIRECTIONS FOR USE - BASAL BARK APPLICATIONS General Information and Instructions For the selective control of individual, undesirable woody plants, use Garlon RTU as directed below. Do not add water, mineral oil or vegetable oil. Do not dilute. Garlon RTU is formulated to be used right out of the container. Use low nozzle pressure to minimize spattering of spray solution off the target stem. For best results, apply when stem and bark are dry. One-Sided Low Volume To control woody plants with stems less than 15 cm in basal diameter, apply Garlon RTU Herbicide with a knapsack or backpack sprayer using a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Spray the basal parts of at least one side of each stem to thoroughly wet the lower 30 cm, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the ground line. Streamline To control woody plants, apply using a knapsack or backpack sprayer with a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Apply sufficient spray to one side of stems less than 8 cm in basal diameter to form a band 5 cm in width. When the optimum


amount of spray mixture is applied, the treated zone should widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30 minutes. Treat both sides of stems which are 8 to 15 cm in basal diameter. Direct the spray at a point on the stem that is approximately 30 to 50 cm above ground level. Optimal results are achieved when applications are made to young vigorously growing stems which have not developed the thicker bark characteristics of slower growing, understory trees in older stands. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the desired height above ground level. Cut Stump Treatment To control resprouting of cut stumps of woody species, apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using a flat fan or a solid cone nozzle. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Thoroughly wet the outer portion of the cut surface adjacent to the cambium and the sides of the stumps, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying to the ground line. Care must be given to ensure treatment of all cut stems in a clump.

Application rate: Refer to the Basal Bark Application section of the main Garlon RTU Herbicide label. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Garlon RTU Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Garlon RTU Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Garlon RTU Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicide with different

herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information


Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage

equipment and planting clean seed.


Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

GARLON™ XRTBrush Control

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging Garlon™ XRT herbicide is available in 2 x 10 L cases.

Broadleaf weed and deciduous tree control

Mix 2.5-5 L of Garlon XRT herbicide plus 0.25-0.375 % v/v Gateway™ adjuvant in a minimum of 200 L of water per hectare to ensure uniform coverage.

Application methods Single stem foliar

For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height, use Garlon XRT herbicide at rates of 2.5-5 L plus 0.25-0.375 % v/v Gateway adjuvant in enough water to make 1000 L of spray solution. Use the higher rate for late summer application when growth rates are reduced or when hard-to-control species are present. Spray brush to the point of runoff. Coverage should be thorough to wet all foliage.

Low volume foliar

For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height use this technique with knapsack or backpack sprayers equipped with flat fan or solid cone nozzles. For control of woody plants, mix 0.6-3 L of Garlon XRT herbicide plus 0.25-0.375 % v/v Gateway adjuvant in enough water to make 100 L of spray solution. Direct the spray solution to thoroughly wet the foliage of the target plants, but not to the point of runoff. Apply after full leafout, but before autumn colouration.

When to apply For foliar applications, apply to target trees and weeds when they are actively growing.

• Trees: Apply after full leafout to actively growing trees, prior to autumn colouration.

• Weeds: Apply to actively growing weeds, after emergence, prior to flowering.

Rainfast 2 hours

Basal bark and stump treatment • For selective control of woody plants, Garlon XRT herbicide can be used in oil mixtures and applied using the streamline or stump treatment technique. Use a diluent such as mineral oil or vegetable oil. Add Garlon XRT herbicide to the required amount of oil in the mixing tank and mix thoroughly.

• If basal bark and stump treatment applications are required, please see Garlon™ RTU for additional information.

Optimizing performance • For best results, apply to actively growing trees and weeds. Avoid applying to plants under stress.

• Use higher rates when hard-to-control species such as ash, chokecherry, elm, maple (other than vine or big leaf), oaks or pine are present. If lower rates are used on hard-to-control species, resprouting may occur and re-treatment may be necessary the following year.

• Avoid applications in hot temperatures. If temperatures reach 28 C or higher, cease applications for the day.

Grazing • There is no restriction on livestock grazing treated areas for areas applied with up to 3 L/ha.

• 3-5 L/ha: Do not graze or harvest green forage from treated area for 14 days following treatment. Note: No grazing restriction for beef livestock if less than 25% of the grazed area has been treated.

Garlon™ XRT has been a reliable and trusted tool for professional

vegetation management for years, delivering broad-spectrum

control of deciduous trees and brush. Gateway™ Adjuvant is

an innovative non-ionic, paraffinic oil blend surfactant unique

to Corteva Agriscience™ and non-ionic surfactants. The addition of

Gateway Adjuvant to Garlon XRT improves plant uptake, especially

in challenging situations.

Two operational trials were completed on transmission lines in

2015 and 2016, prior to the registration of this tank mix. The trials

were applied by high volume hose and handgun, randomized,

and compared to a check as well as competitive treatments. The

addition of Gateway Adjuvant to Garlon XRT consistently showed

superior control on deciduous trees when compared to Garlon XRT

alone and competitive treatments. In fact, when trials were rated

12 and 24 months after application, areas treated with the Garlon

XRT and Gateway Adjuvant as a tank mix showed a minimum

ten percent improved control on deciduous species.

Improved control is not the only benefit of choosing Garlon XRT

and Gateway as your deciduous tree control tank mix. The ability

to apply to dripline of desirable trees is another benefit, which is

critical in maintaining rights-of-way adjacent to other desirable tree

species. Professional vegetation managers can confidently apply

to the outer edge of desirable trees without risking potential root

uptake and damage to those desirable trees. Another key benefit

to choosing Garlon XRT and Gateway as your tank mix of choice

is how quickly desirable species such as forbs and wild flowers

return to rights-of-way post treatment. Garlon XRT and Gateway

Adjuvant do not provide extended control of vegetation, therefore

allowing desirable species to return to the right-of-way post

treatment much sooner than competitive alternatives.

Corteva Agriscience employs a team of professionals who are

available to answer questions, provide regulatory support,

and technical expertise to help you achieve your vegetation

management goals. Whether it’s weeds, brush, trees or non-

selective control you are looking to achieve, Corteva Agriscience

has a total portfolio solution to fit your needs. We are excited to

bring you yet another innovation, Garlon XRT and Gateway tank

mix; improving efficacy, allowing application to drip line of desirable

trees, and the return of desirable species to the right of way much

sooner than most competitive alternatives.

Benefits of tank mixing Garlon™ XRT Herbicide and Gateway™ Adjuvant



Garlon™ XRT and Garlon™ RTU are herbicides that professional vegetation managers use to control unwanted weeds, deciduous brush and trees along right of ways such as electrical power lines, roadsides and pipelines. They are important management tools in effective vegetation management programs.

WHAT ARE GARLON™ XRT HERBICIDE AND GARLON™ RTU HERBICIDE?

147

Garlon™ XRT & Garlon™ RTU HERBICIDE

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS



Mowing and trimming are important parts of any right of way maintenance program, but mechanical means alone do not provide a long-term sustainable solution for managing vegetation along right of ways. Mechanical control can reduce pollinator habitat, distribute weed seeds and cause some plant species to re-sprout rapidly resulting in increased density of the stand. Inaddition, flying debris and cutting equipment can be dangerous to animals, wildlife, work crews and surrounding property. Mechanical control also needs to be repeated frequently in order to maintain the right of way.

Selective application of Garlon™ XRT or Garlon™ RTU herbicide allows desirable species to flourish which increases biodiversity. It is less disruptive to the landscape and controls the entire plant so crews only need to visit the right of way for vegetation management once every two to four years. Integrated vegetation management programs use both mechanical and herbicidecontrol strategies and are proven to be the safest, most cost effectivelong-term vegetation management strategy.

Right of Way Vegetation: Control and Options

Why use Garlon™? Can’t you just cut Vegetation?

Why does Vegetation Along a Right of Way Need to be Controlled?

Safety is the major reason for managing vegetation along right of ways. Trees, brush and weeds along right of ways can create safety hazards. For driver and passenger safety, vegetation cannot block traffic signs or roadside markers. It must not conceal guardrails or overtake road shoulders. Vegetation must not obstruct drivervision at intersections or block the line of sight around curves. Excessive vegetation also prevents proper drainage, which damages roadbeds by creating potholes and other hazards. Trees growing into power lines can cause electrical power outages and make maintenance difficult and dangerous. Additionally, areas around utility substations and land beneath transmission towers require a vegetation-free zone to prevent fire hazards and ensure the transfer of electricity.

Railway companies need to control weeds along their right of ways to maintain the ballast. Weeds hold water around railway ties causing them to rot, increasing chances for derailment accidents. Sparks from the rails can also ignite weeds and brush growing too close to the ballast, which can create a fire hazard for neighbouring residents. Brush that obstructs motorists’ views at railway crossings is

Herbicides interrupt or modify a biologicalprocess within the plant that leads to theplant being controlled. There are manydifferent biological pathways within aplant and they can vary between species.Because of this, a herbicide can beconsidered “selective” – it will affect plants with certain biological pathways,but if a plant does not have that pathway,it will not be impacted. These pathwaysdo not exist in other organisms either,including humans and animals. For thisreason herbicides, when used accordingto the label, only effect the plants they aredesigned to control. Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU’s activeingredient works like a growth regulatorfound only in plants. It enters treated vegetation through leaves, stems and bark, and uses the plant’s own transportation system to move into the roots and leaves. It induces rapid growth, which disrupts food production and causes the plant to be controlled due to lack of nutrients. Applicators canselectively target the species of concernand leave the desirable species tocontinue growing.

Herbicide Regulation in Canada

Before a herbicide can be sold in Canada, it must be registered by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a division of Health Canada. Pesticides are one of the most stringently regulated products in Canada. The PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including biologists, chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists and entomologists, for the sole purpose of evaluating pesticides. Before a pesticide can be approved for use in Canada, the PMRA requires that it undergo a thorough scientific review and safety assessment to ensure it meets Health Canada’s standards. Only those products that meet these strict health and environmental standards can be registered by the PMRA for use or sale in Canada. A herbicide product will not be registered in Canada unless a health and environmental assessment shows that no harm to human health and the environment will result when used according to the label.

Who Regulates the Registration of Herbicides in Canada?

• An examination of all sources and routes (oral, dermal, inhalation of potential exposure to a given pesticide, including exposure through diet, from drinking water and from contact with treated areas like lawns and gardens




What is Included in the PMRA’s Science‑Based Risk Assessment?



Registered products are re-evaluated regularly to ensure they continue to meet current high-level scientific safety standards.Health Canada also conducts regular investigations and inspections to ensure only registered products are used in Canadaand that they are used according to label directions.

HERBICIDE

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU have thepotential to harm any woody or broadleafplant that comes in direct contact with theproduct solution. Therefore, applicatorstake great care to apply Garlon XRT andGarlon RTU only to targeted vegetationspecified by the vegetation manager.Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU will notharm grasses.

Crews use extra caution to protect yourornamentals or garden by leaving anuntreated buffer zone which adds anextra measure of protection. The basalapplication technique is highly unlikely tocause damage to ornamentals or gardens.When making foliar applications, crewsmonitor wind speed and direction toensure accuracy.

Nearby Ornamentals and Gardens

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU are broken down by naturally occurring soilmicroorganisms (fungi and bacteria), as well as sunlight. When the process is complete, the final products are carbon dioxide, water and other organic materials How quickly the product breaks down depends on rainfall and soil temperature. The time required to break down 50 percent of the active ingredient is approximately 30 days.

Herbicide Safety and the Environment

Health Canada – PMRA completes afull assessment on potential effects ofpesticides on aquatic organisms. As partof this evaluation Health Canada – PMRAanalyzes worst case scenarios, includingdirect applications to water. Then theyestablish rules or restrictions to mitigateproblems, if they exist, for each productsuch as buffer zones which is the distancebetween water and where the herbicidecan be applied. When label directions forGarlon XRT and Garlon RTU are followed,there are no unacceptable risks foraquatic organisms or drinking water forhuman consumption.

Bodies of Water

Health Canada – PMRA evaluates theamount of herbicide residue that would bepresent in grains and seeds, fruits, grass,and leaves to determine the amount ananimal would be exposed to if they ateexclusively from the treated site. Garlon XRTand Garlon RTU do not represent a risk ofconcern to wildlife, domestic animals orpets when used according to the label.

Plant Consumption by Animals

Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds areexamples of pollinators that feed fromflowers, transferring pollen in the process.Herbicides should not be confused withinsecticides. Insecticides usually targetthe nervous system in insects, whileherbicides target a specific pathway inplants. These target sites do not existin pollinators, including bees. For thisreason, Corteva Agriscience™ herbicides,including Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU,when used according to the label, do notpose an unacceptable risk to pollinators.

Pollinators

Herbicides and Human Health

Prior to registering a product, Health Canada – PMRA completes a human health risk assessment that focuses on vulnerable populations, including children and expecting mothers. Theevaluation determines the potential for a pesticide to cause adverse health effects. Health Canada will not register apesticide that is known to cause cancer or other illnesses2. Garlon™ XRT and Garlon™ RTU, as with any pesticide registered in Canada, do not represent unacceptable risk to human health when used according to the label directions.

What is the Impact of Garlon™ onHuman Health?

Once the solution has dried, it is safe toenter the treated area.

What are the Guidelines for Entering an Area Treated with Garlon?

Garlon XRT and Garlon RTU are not registered for use on food crops, so due to the absence of supporting data, consumption of berries from treated areas in the year of application should be avoided. In the following years, berries may be harvested and eaten.

GENERAL INFORMATION Garlon XRT Herbicide is recommended for the control of undesirable woody plants and annual and perennial broadleaved weeds in pastures and rangelands; in non-crop areas, including: rights-of-way, electrical power lines, communication lines, pipelines, roadsides and railroads, fencerows and around farm buildings, military bases, industrial, manufacturing and storage sites; and in forest and woodland management areas (refer to “RESTRICTED USE AERIAL APPLICATION FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT AREAS (GREATER THAN 500 HECTARES) AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT AREAS (500 HECTARES OR LESS)”). Among the woody plants controlled at the lower rate are: alder elderberry pines ash elm poplar aspen hawthorn red maple basswood hickory raspberry beech hop-hornbeam sassafras birch honey locust sumac blackberry locust sycamore buckthorn maples tamarack cherry mulberry wild rose chokecherry oaks willow cottonwood poison oak witchhazel dogwood These species may require treatment at the higher rate and may need to be retreated the following year, particularly if the original treatment was made at the lower rate. Among the annual and perennial broadleaved weeds controlled are: burdock field bindweed smooth bedstraw chicory lamb’s-quarters vetch curled dock ragweed wild lettuce dandelion smartweed GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Do not apply this product in a manner inconsistent with the label.

Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with desirable crops or other desirable broadleaved plants or non-target species and do not permit spray mists containing Garlon XRT Herbicide to drift onto them.

Avoid Spray Drift Apply only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible crops and damage sensitive non-target habitat. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions (stable air) such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the spray site or a smoke generator on the spray equipment. If the smoke develops into layers or indicates a potential for hazardous spray drift, DO NOT SPRAY. PREHARVEST/GRAZING INTERVALS Treated areas may be grazed by livestock or harvested for livestock feed provided that the following intervals are adhered to:


Grazing or harvesting green forage 1. Lactating dairy animals

a) Up to 3 L/ha: withhold lactating dairy animals from consuming treated green forage for 14 days following treatment

b) 3 to 5 L/ha: withhold lactating dairy animals from consuming treated forage for 60 days following treatment.

2. Other livestock a) Up to 3 L/ha: no grazing restriction. b) 3 to 5 L/ha: do not graze or harvest green forage from treated area for 14 days following

treatment.

NOTE : If less than 25% of a grazed area is treated, there is no grazing restriction (for other livestock only). Haying (harvesting of dried forage) 1. Lactating dairy animals

a) For treatments up to 5 L/ha do not feed lactating dairy animals hay which had been harvested within 60 days of treatment.

2. Other livestock a) Up to 3 L/ha: do not harvest for 7 days following treatment. b) 3 to 5 L/ha: do not harvest hay for 14 days following treatment.

Slaughter Withhold Withdraw livestock from grazing treated grass or consumption of treated hay at least 3 days prior to slaughter. DIRECTIONS FOR USE General For best results, applications of Garlon XRT Herbicide should be made when woody plants and weeds are actively growing. Use higher rates when hard-to-control species such as ash, chokecherry, elm, maple (other than vine or big leaf), oaks or pine are present. If lower rates are used on hard-to-control species, resprouting may occur and retreatment may be necessary the following year. Garlon XRT can be applied alone or with Gateway Adjuvant at the rate of 0.375% by volume (375 mL per 100 L of water). See Gateway Adjuvant label for a full list of recommended rates. Inclusion of Gateway Adjuvant in the spray solution with Garlon XRT will provide improved and more consistent control. When using a drift control agent, follow the manufacturer’s directions for the correct mixing sequence. Ground Application Consult with the appropriate provincial authorities about use permits and the establishment of buffer zones. Use Precautions Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to non-target plants, aquatic species or sensitive habitat, ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained and refer to the section Spray Drift Control. Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and parks is minimal.


Do not use this product as a broadcast foliar spray in residential areas. Residential areas are defined as sites where bystanders including children may be potentially exposed during or after spraying. This includes around homes, schools, parks, playgrounds, playing fields, public buildings or any other areas where the general public including children could be exposed. Do not use this product more than once per year. Spray Drift Control The potential for spray drift with ground broadcast applications can be reduced by: Apply a coarse spray using large droplet producing nozzle tips. Do not apply with cone-type

insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Use of Radiarc or Nalco-Trol or an equivalent drift control system or additive. Keep the spray boom as low as possible. Use a spray pressure no greater than is required to obtain a proper spray pattern for adequate plant

coverage. For ground application, do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide when wind velocity and direction pose a

risk of spray drift. Apply when wind speed is low. For aerial application, please refer to “Use Precautions” for appropriate buffer zones under “Restricted Use.”

If a spray thickening agent is used, follow all use directions and precautions on the product label. When using a power sprayer and handgun, direct sprays no higher than the tops of the target plants.

GROUND EQUIPMENT APPLICATIONS Single Stem Foliar For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height, use Garlon XRT Herbicide at rates of 2.5 to 5 L in enough water to make 1000 L of spray solution. Use the higher rate for late summer application when growth rates are reduced or when hard-to-control species are present. Spray brush to the point of runoff. Coverage should be thorough to wet all foliage. To minimize spray drift do not use pressures exceeding 1400 kPa at the spray nozzle. Direct the spray away from crops or desired non-target vegetation. Use of a drift control system is suggested to minimize spray drift. For woody plants exceeding 2.5 m in height cut and spray regrowth or use one of the basal application methods. Low Volume Foliar For control of woody plants up to 2.5 m in height use this technique with knapsack or backpack sprayers equipped with flat fan or solid cone nozzles. Power sprayers and handguns may also be used. For control of woody plants, mix 0.6 to 3 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough water to make 100 L of spray solution. Use of a rate in the upper end of the recommended range is suggested for control of basal sprouting and root suckering species and for tall, dense brush. Direct the spray solution to thoroughly wet the foliage of the target plants but not to the point of runoff. Apply after full leafout, but before autumn colouration. For woody plants exceeding 2.5 m in height cut and spray regrowth or use one of the basal application methods. Broadcast Foliar For woody plant control and broadleaved weed control, make applications with equipment that will assure uniform coverage of the low spray volume applied. Do not use pressure exceeding 275 kPa at the spray nozzle. Apply any time during the growing season. Use the higher rates for late summer applications when growth rates are reduced or when hard-to-control species are present. Woody Plant Control Mix 2.5 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum of 200 L of water per hectare to ensure uniform coverage. Broadleaved Weed Control Mix 0.6 to 2.5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum of 200 L of water per hectare to ensure uniform coverage.


BASAL BARK APPLICATIONS General Information and Mixing Instructions For control of woody plants in rights-of-way, military bases, industrial sites and non-crop areas, use Garlon XRT Herbicide in oil mixtures prepared and applied as described below. Use a diluent such as mineral oil or vegetable oil. Add Garlon XRT Herbicide to the required amount of oil in the mixing tank and mix thoroughly. When mixing with oils commercially formulated for basal bark herbicide applications, read and follow the use directions and precautions on the product label prepared by the oil’s manufacturer. Use the higher spray mixture concentration of Garlon XRT Herbicide when treating basal sprouting and root suckering species or when applying during the dormant season. Use low nozzle pressure to minimize spattering of spray solution off the target stem. One-Sided Low Volume To control woody plants with stems less than 15 cm in basal diameter, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil diluent to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply with a knapsack or backpack sprayer using a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Spray the basal parts of at least one side of each stem to thoroughly wet the lower 30 cm, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the ground line. Streamline To control woody plants, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply using a knapsack or backpack sprayer with a flat fan or solid cone nozzle, or wick attachment. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended. Apply sufficient spray to one side of stems less than 8 cm in basal diameter to form a band 5 cm in width. When the optimum amount of spray mixture is applied, the treated zone should widen to encircle the stem within approximately 30 minutes. Treat both sides of stems which are 8 to 15 cm in basal diameter. Direct the spray at a point on the stem that is approximately 30 to 50 cm above ground level. Optimal results are achieved when applications are made to young vigorously growing stems which have not developed the thicker bark characteristics of slower growing, understory trees in older stands. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying at the desired height above ground level. Cut Stump Treatment To control resprouting of cut stumps of woody species, mix 13 to 19 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in enough oil to make 100 L of spray mixture. Apply the solution to thoroughly wet the outer portion of the cut surface adjacent to the cambium and the sides of the stumps, including the root collar area, but not to the point of runoff. Apply at any time, including the winter months, except when snow or water prevents spraying to the ground line. Care must be given to ensure treatment of all cut stems in a clump. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using a flat fan or a solid cone nozzle. Low pump pressures of 70 to 210 kPa are recommended.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates and is not labelled for application to water surfaces. Keep out of wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g., sandy soil) and/or where the depth to the water table is shallow. Aerial application must only be done on the basis of provincial use permit. Buffer zones are specified to protect the sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of the product label. Among the species controlled are: alder elderberry pines ash elm poplar aspen hawthorn red maple basswood hickory raspberry beech hop-hornbeam sassafras birch honey locust sumac blackberry locust sycamore buckthorn maples tamarack cherry mulberry wild rose chokecherry oaks willow cottonwood poison oak witchhazel dogwood

These species may require treatment at the higher rate and may need to be retreated the following year, particularly if the original treatment was made at the lower rate.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AERIAL APPLICATION Garlon XRT Herbicide may be applied by either fixed or rotary wing aircraft for the control of susceptible woody plants growing on rights-of-way, industrial sites and military bases. Use 2.5 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide in a minimum spray volume of 30 L per hectare. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as D8-46 or D10-46), the Microfoil boom or the Thru-Valve boom. Ensure uniform and adequate coverage is achieved and that equipment has been accurately calibrated. Use higher application rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions.

USE PRECAUTIONS Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of the label, ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained as outlined below. Use only closed mixing/loading systems for aerial application.


BUFFER ZONE TABLES FOR GARLON XRT HERBICIDE A. BUFFER ZONES FROM AQUATIC HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water. Appropriate buffer zones, based on aircraft type, boom height, droplet spectrum, and rate of application, are as follows. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind directions, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. APPLICATION BY FIXED WING AIRCRAFT



2.5 L/ha 10 31 71 112 >2.5 to 3.8 L/ha 18 43 94 150 >3.8 to 5 L/ha 26 56 122 205



2.5 L/ha 5 19 54 91 >2.5 to 3.8 L/ha 10 28 69 116 >3.8 to 5 L/ha 14 35 82 142

† Boom height is the distance between the target vegetation (e.g. canopy) and the boom of the aircraft. The buffer zone is the distance between the sensitive habitat and the downwind edge of the spray boom. For example, these charts are read as follows: at an application rate of 3.8 L/ha, a boom height of 10 m, and a coarse droplet spectrum (VMD 351 μm), maintain a 17 m buffer zone between aquatic habitats (e.g., wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water) and the downwind edge of the spray boom.

B. BUFFER ZONES FROM TERRESTRIAL HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into sensitive terrestrial wildlife habitats. Consult the Provincial Pesticide Authority regarding the determination of these areas. Appropriate buffer zones, based on aircraft type, boom height, droplet spectrum, and rate of application, are as follows. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind directions, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. APPLICATION BY FIXED WING AIRCRAFT

Spray Drift Control Apply only when there is little or no hazard of spray drift since small quantities of product may injure susceptible crops and damage sensitive non-target habitats. 1. Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. 2. Do not apply when the wind speed is greater than 16 km/hr. 3. Garlon XRT Herbicide should not be applied at a boom height greater than 30 m above the target

vegetation.


4. Aerial application should be made as close to the ground as possible while maintaining adequate coverage.

5. For helicopter application use pressures at the lower end of the range recommended by the nozzle manufacturer. For fixed wing application use pressures at the higher end of the range recommended by the nozzle manufacturer.


that produce a large proportion of fine droplets in the spray pattern. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as D8-46 or D10-46), straight stream coreless nozzles (such as D6 or D8), and the Microfoil or Thru-Valve boom. Conventional disc and core nozzles should be oriented straight back or at an angle of less than 30˚ down.

8. Do not apply by air when an air temperature inversion exists. Such condition is characterized by little or no wind and an air temperature near the ground that is lower than at higher levels. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions or temperature inversions such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the site.

RESTRICTED USE AERIAL APPLICATION FOR FOREST MANAGEMENT AREAS (GREATER THAN 500 HECTARES) AND WOODLAND MANAGEMENT AREAS (500 HECTARES OR LESS): This includes site preparation prior to planting crop trees and release of crop trees following planting or in natural regeneration sites. NOTICE TO USER: This pest control product is to be used only in accordance with the directions on the label. It is an offence under the Pest Control Products Act to use this product in a way that is inconsistent with the directions on the label. The user assumes the risk to persons or property that arises from any such use of this product. NATURE OF RESTRICTION: This product is to be used only in the manner authorized; consult provincial pesticide regulatory authorities about use permits. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Aerial Application Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices Use Precautions Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.


Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates and is not labelled for application to water surfaces. Keep out of wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g., sandy soil) and/or where the depth to the water table is shallow. Aerial application must only be done on the basis of provincial use permit. Buffer zones are specified to protect the sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of this label. Among the species controlled are: red alder pin cherry red oak speckled alder bigleaf maple balsam poplar white ash red maple raspberry trembling aspen sugar maple▼ willow white birch♦ ♦White birch is best controlled through the use of any one of the foliar application methods. ▼Sugar maple and bigleaf maple are best controlled through the use of any one of the basal bark application methods.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: AERIAL APPLICATION Garlon XRT Herbicide may be applied by either fixed or rotary wing aircraft. Delivery systems suggested for use in applying Garlon XRT Herbicide by air include: booms equipped with coarse droplet producing conventional disc and core nozzles (such as the D8-46 or D10-46), the Microfoil boom or the Thru-Valve boom. Ensure uniform and adequate coverage is achieved and that equipment has been accurately calibrated. Use higher application rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions. Plantation or Natural Stand Release To release crop trees such as black spruce and white spruce from raspberry and deciduous competition, apply 1.9 to 3.8 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide with water in a minimum of 30 L of total spray solution per hectare. The higher rates are suggested for control of basal sprouting or root suckering species and for tall, dense brush.


Application should be made in late summer after conifers have hardened off (buds firm and sharp to the touch) and when deciduous species are in full leaf prior to autumn colouration. To release jack pine, use 1.9 to 2.5 L per hectare of Garlon XRT Herbicide. Jack pine injury including needle damage, leader atrophy and scattered mortality may occur at application rates above 2.5 L per hectare or if seedlings are not completely dormant. Do not apply Garlon XRT Herbicide to release jack pine stands unless such injury can be tolerated. The potential for jack pine injury can be reduced by ensuring that trees are not in lammas or secondary growth stage. Healthy, vigorous jack pine seedlings in the ground for at least two years prior to application, are less likely to show symptoms of injury. Site Preparation Apply 1.9 to 5 L of Garlon XRT Herbicide with water in a minimum of 30 L of total spray solution per hectare. The higher rates are suggested for control of basal sprouting or root suckering species and for tall, dense brush. Applications should be made after full leaf-out of target species, but prior to autumn colouration. Any coniferous silvicultural species may be planted in the season following treatment. USE PRECAUTIONS Garlon XRT Herbicide is not registered for application to water surfaces including lakes, ponds and streams and is highly toxic to fish, aquatic plants and aquatic invertebrates. Do not overspray such areas. In order to reduce the hazard of drift to sensitive areas as identified in the Environmental Hazards section of the label ensure that appropriate buffer zones are maintained as outlined below. Use only closed mixing/loading systems for aerial application. BUFFER ZONE TABLES FOR GARLON XRT HERBICIDE A. BUFFER ZONES FROM AQUATIC HABITATS A buffer zone should be maintained to avoid overspray and drift into wetlands, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, and wildlife habitats at the edge of bodies of water.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Garlon XRT Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Garlon XRT Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Garlon XRT Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • One case treats ~12 ha at the highest labeled rate (6 x 404g containers per case) • 150-200g/ha.• The use of a non-ionic surfactant such as Gateway™ adjuvant at 0.25 percent by volume (0.25 litre/100 litres spray volume) provides a maximum performance for all postemergence applications.

• For postemergence weed control, consider tank mixing LongRun™ 25WG herbicide with glyphosate such as VP480 herbicide.

• Water volume: – Broadcast: Apply in a minimum 150-450L/ha totally spray solution.

When to apply • For preemergence application, rainfall or irrigation is needed for herbicide activation.• The best control is obtained when LongRun 25WG Herbicide is applied either to weeds just prior to germination or to young, actively growing weeds.

• For optimal herbicidal activity, prior to application, the bed or soil surface should be reasonably even and clear of crop and weed residue.

Tank mixes • Tank mixes, such as ClearView™, Milestone,™ Sightline™, OcTTain™ XL and VP480 herbicides can be supported under the PMRA tank-mix policy.

Mixing instructions 1. Ensure the spray system is clean and free of residues from previous applications. 2. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full with clean water. 3. Ensure the agitation system is operating and sufficient to provide uniform spray mixing during application and until the spray tank has been emptied.

4. Add the appropriate amount of this product to the spray tank. 5. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level.

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application. Avoid the overnight storage of LongRun 25WG Herbicide spray mixtures.

Optimizing performance LongRun is active in low concentrations and stays in the upper surface of the soil layer. Avoid disturbing soil surface after application.

LongRun™25 WG Herbicide

Broad spectrum. Controls many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses.

Wide application window. Can be applied any time of the year; best results are achieved with spring application.

Season-long control. Following a spring application, LongRun herbicide can provide season-long control of labeled broadleaf weeds and grasses.

What Is LongRun Herbicide?LongRun is a broad spectrum, systemic herbicide providing season-long control of key annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. The active ingredient, Flazasulfuron, is a Group 2 herbicide. It can be applied either pre-emergence or post-emergence to control labeled broadleaf weeds and grasses. Best results are achieved when applied in the spring.

LongRun is active in low concentrations and stays in the upper surface of the soil layer. LongRun does not inhibit seed germination – it works by being absorbed through the roots of young plants. In many cases weeds do not emerge from the soil, and the few that do exhibit yellowing of the leaves and are controlled.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, LongRun 25WG Herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to LongRun 25WG Herbicide and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of LongRun 25WG Herbicide or other Group 2

herbicides within a growing season (sequence) or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.






For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact ISK Biosciences Corporation at 1-877-706-4640 or at www.iskbc.com.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Product Specific Precautions: Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-877-706-4640 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of the specific product must meet and/or conform to the following:

General Use Information: LongRun 25 WG Herbicide is a selective herbicide for preemergence and postemergence control of certain broadleaf weeds and grasses in industrial vegetation management sites and specified nonagricultural areas.

LongRun 25WG Herbicide is absorbed through the root and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible weeds. For preemergence application, rainfall or irrigation is needed for herbicide activation. Length of control is a function of environmental factors such as soil type, soil moisture, temperature and amount of moisture after the application. Existing weeds or crop residue may reduce the length and level of residual control. Weed control may also be reduced due to environmental stress to the weeds at the time of the application.

Weed growth stops within hours after the application, however progress from discoloration or chlorosis to necrosis generally requires from 2 to 4 weeks. Speed of control is generally a function of weather with faster action during warmer weather and actively growing weeds. The best control is obtained when LongRun 25WG Herbicide is applied either to weeds just prior to germination or to young, actively growing weeds.

For optimal herbicidal activity, prior to application, the bed or soil surface should be reasonably even and clear of crop and weed residue. Before herbicide application, crop and weed residue can be mixed into the soil through cultivation, or removed by blowing the area to be treated. Any practices that cause disturbance of the soil surface after herbicide treatment will decrease herbicidal activity. If rainfall does not occur within 2 weeks after a preemergence application, then 0.5 to 1.25 cm of irrigation water should be applied. Do not apply more than 2.5 cm of irrigation water.

Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.


Buffer Zones

Spot treatments using hand-held equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone. Use of low-clearance hooded or shielded sprayers that prevent spray contact with crop, fruit or foliage, and soil drench or soil incorporation DO NOT require a buffer zone.

For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct

application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands) and sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands).

* Buffer zones for the protection of terrestrial habitats are not required for use on rights-of-way including railroad ballast, rail and hydro rights-of-way, utility easements, roads, and training grounds and firing ranges on military bases.

For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank mix partners.

The buffer zones for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.

Mixing and Loading Instructions: Ensure the spray system is clean and free of residues from previous applications. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full with clean water. Ensure the agitation system is operating and sufficient to provide uniform spray mixing during application and until the spray tank has been emptied. Add the appropriate amount of this product to the spray tank. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level.

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate application. Avoid the overnight storage of LongRun 25WG Herbicide spray mixtures.

Tank Mixtures: Tank mixes are generally used to broaden or extend control of the weed spectrum present. Tank mix herbicides must be registered for intended use. Read and follow all label directions for each tank mix herbicide. Always follow precautions and restrictions on the most restrictive tank mix partner.

In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a

fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact ISK Biosciences Corporation at 1-877-706-4640 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by ISK Biosciences Corporation.

For tank mixtures, add individual components to the spray tank in the following sequence: water, water dispersible granules (this product), water-soluble bags, dry flowables, emulsifiable concentrates, drift control additives, water-soluble liquids, and nonionic surfactants.

Additive Use Requirements: The use of a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25 percent by volume (0.25 litre/100 litres spray volume) provides a maximum performance for all postemergence applications. Surfactant products must contain at least 50% nonionic surfactant (see label of adjuvant). Petroleum crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil at 1% by volume (1 litre/100 litres) can also enhance herbicide performance. Oil adjuvants must contain at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers and 80% high quality petroleum or methylated seed oil (see label of crop or seed oil). If another herbicide is tank mixed with LongRun 25WG Herbicide, select additives authorized for use with both products.

Compatibility Test: Additives and tank mixes should be tested for compatibility by mixing in a small container prior to mixing in spray tank.

In a lidded glass jar (~1 litre size) add all mix partners, in their relative proportions. Invert, shake or mix the jar thoroughly.

If mixture forms precipitates (flakes or sludge), gels, balls-up or forms oily films or layers, this indicates incompatibility. Though signs of incompatibility will typically be seen within 5 minutes of mixing, mixture should be observed for approximately 30 minutes.

If compatibility agents do not facilitate mixing, the mixture is incompatible and should not be used.

Spray Equipment Clean Out: After spraying LongRun 25WG Herbicide and before using sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure:

1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse inside of spray tanks with clean water (rinse about 1 minute per 100 litres of tank capacity). Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits with a stiff brush.

2. Fill the tank with clean water and add 1 litre of household ammonia (contains at least 3% active ingredient) for every 100 litres of water. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least 15 minutes. Flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom and nozzles (1/4 volume of tank capacity) and then drain the tank.

3. Repeat step 1. 4. Repeat step 2. 5. Remove the nozzles and screen and clean separately in a bucket containing

cleaning agent and water.

6. Rinse the tank, boom and hoses with clean water. 7. If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution from both steps 2 and 4

may be applied back to the crop(s) as recommended on the label. Do not exceed the maximum label use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. (Attention: Do Not use Chlorine bleach with ammonia as a dangerous gas will form).

GROUND APPLICATION

Preemergence Weed Control: Apply LongRun 25WG Herbicide in a broadcast spray volume of 150 to 450 L/ha of water in a uniform application to the soil surface. Soil surfaces should be clean from crop residue and weed-free at the time of the application. If weeds, weed residue or crop residue is present, these should be removed by light mechanical incorporation or other means. Once the application has been made, the soil surface should not be disturbed.

Postemergence Weed Control: Applications for postemergence weed control should be made in 150 to 450 L/ha of water. Use the higher water volumes if vegetation or crop residue is present. For directed sprays a spray volume of 200 L of water or more per hectare is recommended. Best results are obtained when weeds are small and actively growing. Broadleaf weeds should be no larger than 5 to 10 cm and grasses should be no taller than 10 cm and prior to first tillering. Once the application has been made, the soil surface should not be disturbed.

Sprayer Preparation: Apply LongRun 25WG Herbicide with spray equipment that has been cleaned and is free of pesticide deposits from previous pesticide use. Clean spray equipment according to manufacturer’s directions, see previous pesticide label for appropriate cleanup directions, or use LongRun 25WG Herbicide Spray Equipment Clean Out procedures.

Broadcast Application: Apply LongRun 25WG Herbicide using conventional low-pressure ground spray equipment with flat fan or flood nozzles (preemergence applications only). Follow manufacturer’s recommendation for spraying pressure and boom height. Check spray equipment daily for proper maintenance and calibration.

Directed Spray Application: Apply LongRun 25WG Herbicide as a low-pressure coarse spray in at least 200 litres of water per hectare. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for nozzle spacing and operating pressure. Nozzles should be adjusted to adequately cover the weed foliage but minimize contact with the crop. Do not apply with hollow cone nozzles.

Spot application: For spot applications apply sprays uniformly to the soil for preemergence weed control or to weeds for postemergence weed control. Mix the required amount of LongRun 25WG Herbicide with the recommended amount of water. For preemergence application use 10 to 20 litres per 100 m2. For postemergence application use a minimum of 20 litres per 100 m2 and add a non-ionic surfactant at 5 ml per litre of spray. If applying within an

established crop use coarse low-pressure sprays and direct the spray to the soil beneath the plants. Do not allow spray to contact leaves or green stems of woody plants. Use 0.5 g/L of water. Thoroughly agitate the spray solution thoroughly prior to application.

Note: LongRun 25WG Herbicide must be only applied once per year.

It is readily absorbed by both foliage and roots and translocates both upwards and downwards in plants. The product controls Canada thistle, wild buckwheat, scentless chamomile, common groundsel and volunteer alfalfa. It suppresses growth of perennial sow-thistle through control of top growth. DIRECTIONS FOR USE VEGETATION AND CROP PRECAUTIONS Do not use in greenhouses. Sensitive Plants Do not apply Lontrel XC Herbicide directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into contact with sunflowers, legumes (such as peas, beans, lentils or alfalfa), fruit or vegetable crops, flowers or other desirable broadleaved plants. Take precautions to prevent spray mists containing it to drift onto them. Residues of Lontrel XC Herbicide can remain in the soil following the year of use, thereby affecting growth of sensitive crops. Special precautions should be taken during application to non-cropland areas such as roadsides, pipelines and railways where sensitive desirable vegetation may be present. Do not apply to or allow drift to come into contact with sensitive desirable vegetation such as vetch or clover which may be found on embankments. Non-Target Sites Avoid contamination of non-target land, water or irrigation ditches. Do not use Lontrel XC Herbicide in the following areas: standing or flowing water; the inner banks or bottoms of irrigation ditches; in areas where surface water can run off to adjacent croplands either planted or to be planted to sensitive crops.


Crop Rotation Fields previously treated with Lontrel XC Herbicide can be seeded the following year to wheat, oats, barley, rye (not underseeded with legumes, clover or alfalfa), forage grasses, flax, canola, mustard, soybeans, field peas, sugar beets or it can be summerfallowed. Western Canada: Fields previously treated with Lontrel XC up to 0.17 L/ha can be seeded after a minimum of 10 months to soybeans or field peas. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to soybeans or field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive (less than 14 cm rainfall) in the year of application, delay seeding soybeans and field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application). Eastern Canada: Fields previously treated with Lontrel XC up to 0.25 L/ha can be seeded after a minimum of 10 months to soybeans and field peas. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to soybeans or field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions (less than 38 cm rainfall in the 10 months following application) are experienced in the year of application, delay seeding soybeans and field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application). Contact your local Dow AgroSciences Canada representative or retailer for more information before seeding soybeans or field peas following drought conditions in the previous year. Do not seed to crops other than those listed above in the calendar year following treatment. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc at 1-800-667-3852 or www.corteva.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. When Lontrel XC Herbicide is applied as a tank-mix combination, read and observe all label directions, including rates, restrictions, and grazing limitations for each product used in the tank-mix. Follow the more stringent label precautionary measures for mixing, loading and applying stated on both product labels. Grazing and Harvesting for Feed For field corn, do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated field corn for silage as feed within 40 days after last treatment. For all other crops on the label, there are no restrictions on the grazing of crops or forages treated with Lontrel XC Herbicide. If necessary, treated areas may be grazed immediately following application. Manure and Straw Residues of the herbicide occurring in the straw may be harmful to susceptible plants; therefore, do not use straw or crop residue from treated crops for composting or mulching susceptible broadleaved crops. If the straw or crop residue is used for animal bedding or feed, return the manure to fields to be planted to clopyralid tolerant crops such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, forage grasses, canola or flax. Do not grow susceptible crops such as peas, beans, lentils, potatoes, sunflowers or other sensitive crops on land which has been mulched with straw containing Lontrel XC Herbicide residues within the last 12 months. SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND CONTAINER PRECAUTIONS Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity (such as houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas) is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, and application equipment sprayer settings.

• Agitate and then flush the boom and hoses with the cleaning solution. Top up with water making sure the tank is completely full. Allow to stand for 15 minutes with agitation. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the spray booms. Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.


• After flushing the boom and hoses, drain tank completely. • Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately with a cleaning agent or an ammonia solution




• Drain tank completely. Caution: Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty chlorine odour which may cause eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area.


APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Spray Preparation To prepare the spray solution add about half the desired amount of water to the spray tank, then with mechanical or bypass agitation, add the recommended amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide. Mix thoroughly in the tank. Second, add the recommended tank-mix herbicide. Finally with continued agitation, add the rest of the water. Spray Application Volume Apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at 0.17 to 0.50 L/ha plus any other herbicide approved as a tank-mix at the recommended rate in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage (100 to 200 L/ha of spray solution) by ground equipment only at pressures of 200 to 275 kPa. Treat when weeds are young and actively growing, when the Canada thistle is in the rosette to pre-bud stage and before the purple bud stage and volunteer alfalfa is 5-50 cm in height. For spot spraying of weed patches, mix the required volume of Lontrel XC Herbicide in 200 L of water and apply to 1000 m2 of weeds. Refer to the following table for the correct amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide to use:

Recommended Rate of Lontrel XC Herbicide Required Per Hectare

Volume of Lontrel XC Herbicide Required To Treat 1000 m2

0.17 L 17 mL 0.25 L 25 mL 0.34 L 34 mL 0.50 L 50 mL

Approximate Conversions:

200 to 275 kPa = 30 to 40 PSI 100 to 200 L/ha = 10 to 20 gallons/acre 1 sq. metre = 1.2 sq. yards 1 L/ha = 14 fl. oz./acre

Weed Stages at Application Applications of Lontrel XC Herbicide should be made when Canada thistle, perennial sow-thistle and scentless chamomile are in the rosette to pre-bud stage of growth. Best results are obtained when Canada thistle is actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Under dry soil conditions and poor growing conditions, control of Canada thistle may be severely reduced. Applications of Lontrel XC Herbicide made after the Canada thistle flower has reached the purple bud stage will not provide satisfactory control. Control of Canada Thistle For in crop control of top growth of Canada thistle apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at the rate of 0.25 L/ha. This will suppress top growth of Canada thistle for 6 to 8 weeks. Some regrowth may occur by the end of the season but this will not interfere with the harvesting of the crop. For season long control of top growth of Canada thistle apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at the rate of 0.34 L/ha. This rate will generally provide season long control of Canada thistle. Not all rhizomes will be killed and some regrowth may occur by the end of the growing season. For season long control of top growth, with a reduction of Canada thistle population in the following year, apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at the rate of 0.50 L/ha. This rate will provide season long control of Canada thistle and suppression into the following season, resulting in a reduction of the total number of Canada thistle shoots in the treated area. Kudzu In farmland non-crop areas, e.g., storage areas, farm buildings, fence rows, repeat annual applications in a minimum spray volume of 200 L/ha are required to suppress this vine due to regrowth from tubers and crowns and new growth from dormant seed in response to soil disturbance. Repeat annual applications in a minimum of 100 L water/ha may be required in cultivated fields, including summerfallow, where kudzu seed is known to be present. Application may be made by means of a backpack or hand held sprayer for small infestations. CANOLA (Western Canada Only) For use on Polish and Argentine varieties, including canola. Lontrel XC Herbicide should be diluted with water and applied at the 2 to 6 leaf stage of the crop to effectively control Canada thistle, scentless chamomile, common groundsel, wild buckwheat, the top growth of perennial sow-thistle and volunteer alfalfa. For specific directions for control of Canada thistle only refer to the section: Control of Canada thistle.

Tank-Mix InstructionsNote 1: When tank mixing water soluble formulations such as Lontrel XC Herbicide with emulsifiable concentrates such as Poast Ultra, Fusion, and Select herbicides, first add the Lontrel XC Herbicide to the spray tank. Once it is half filled with water, add the emulsifiable concentrate as the remaining water is put into the spray tank.Note 2: If the sprayer has been previously used to apply herbicides which contain 2,4-D or MCPA herbicides, it is imperative that the spray equipment be thoroughly cleaned before Lontrel XC Herbicide is mixed in the spray tank. Trace contamination of the spray solution with these herbicides will result in damage to the canola.Note 3: Use 100 L/Ha of water. Use a 50 mesh (or coarser) filter screen. Fill the spray tank three-quarters full with water. Add the required amount of Odyssey WDG herbicide soluble bag(s) directly into the sprayer through the tank opening. Agitate for at least ten minutes to dissolve the herbicide. After the herbicide is dissolved, use a separate calibrated measuring device to add the required amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide while agitating the spray solution. After the Lontrel XC Herbicide is dissolved, continue agitation and add the required amount of Merge adjuvant or non-ionic surfactant plus fertilizer. If excess foaming occurs, a silicone anti-foaming agent may be added (e.g. Halt). Complete filling the tank to the desired level with water. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again. Between loads of Odyssey WDG herbicide, check in-line and nozzle screens and rinse and clean if necessary. Upon completion of spraying Odyssey WDGherbicide, thoroughly flush tank, boom, hoses and in-line and nozzle screens with clean water to avoid possible injury to other crops.

Refer to MCPA herbicide label for rates and control rating. Canada thistle – 0.34 L Lontrel XC Herbicide/ha for season–long control, 0.50 L Lontrel XC Herbicide/ha control extended into following year. Tank-Mix Instructions Note 1: Rates of MCPA ester herbicide of 420 g active ingredient/ha or higher, or MCPA amine herbicide of 490 g active ingredient/ha or higher may cause some delay in maturity with resulting yield reduction. Note 2: Where contact herbicides such as bromoxynil herbicide are used (which damage the leaves of the Canada thistle) Lontrel XC Herbicide should be applied 7 to 14 days prior or after an interval of 14 days. This allows the Canada thistle to recover and resume growth. Note 3: Add the correct amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide to spray tank half filled with water and agitate. Add the correct amount of Poast Ultra herbicide and continue to agitate. Add the correct amount of Merge adjuvant along with the remaining amount of water necessary to fill the spray tank. Continue agitation. Note 4: Add the correct amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide, then MCPA herbicide to half-filled sprayer and agitate for 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add Poast Ultra herbicide, and follow with the addition of Merge adjuvant with the remaining water to the required spray volume. Continuously agitate at all times. OATS (Western Canada Only), WHEAT (SPRING & WINTER) AND BARLEY (SPRING) Lontrel XC Herbicide may be used on wheat (spring & winter), barley (spring) and oats to control Canada thistle, common groundsel, perennial sow-thistle (top growth control), wild buckwheat, scentless chamomile and volunteer alfalfa. Lontrel XC Herbicide should be applied when the wheat, barley or oats are between the 3 leaf to flag leaf emergence stages of growth and weeds are actively growing. Apply to winter wheat in the spring from the 3 tiller stage to just before the flag leaf stage. Since Lontrel XC Herbicide damages legumes such as clover and alfalfa, these should not be undersown into the cereals. See Grazing and Harvesting for Feed Section of label for grazing/harvesting intervals for immature crops.


Rates of Use Lontrel XC Herbicide may be used alone in oats (western Canada only), spring wheat, and spring barley for Canada thistle control. Use 0.25 L/ha of Lontrel XC Herbicide for the control of top growth of Canada thistle. This rate will suppress top growth of Canada thistle for 6 to 8 weeks. Some regrowth may occur by the end of the season but will not interfere with the harvesting of the crop. Use 0.34 L/ha of Lontrel XC Herbicide for season long control of Canada thistle.

Tank-Mix Instructions Note 1: If a tank-mix partner requires the addition of an adjuvant add the recommended adjuvant and dilution rate to the tank-mix. Note 2: When tank mixing with Refine Extra, mix Refine Extra herbicide first in fresh water, then add the required amount of Lontrel XC Herbicide followed by MCPA or 2,4-D herbicides. Add the surfactant last. SUMMERFALLOW AND NON-CROP FARMLAND Lontrel XC Herbicide may be used on summerfallow (one application per year) and non-crop farmland (around farm buildings, storage areas, fence rows, etc.) at 0.50 L/ha for the control of Canada thistle, scentless chamomile, common groundsel, wild buckwheat, the top growth of perennial sow-thistle and volunteer alfalfa. The Canada thistle plants should be between the rosette and the early bud stage and actively growing at the time of spraying.

Lontrel XC E 32795 Oct17f SPECIMEN.docx Page 16

(1 to 2 mm) of terminal meristem) to control late emerging weeds or weeds which escaped earlier control measures. Contact of the treatment solution with cranberry foliage after bud break should be avoided since it will result in plant injury. Application rate: Apply a 2% solution of Lontrel XC Herbicide in water (12 mL product/L water). The preharvest interval is 60 days. TURNIP For control of labeled weeds, apply Lontrel XC Herbicide with a boom sprayer at the rate of 0.25 -0.34 L/ha in approximately 200 to 300 L/ha of water. Apply as a postemergent spray when weeds are young and actively growing. Make only one application per season. Preharvest interval for turnip roots is 30 days, for turnip greens is 15 days. WEED CONTROL IN SHELTERBELTS: For control of Canada thistle in shelterbelts of villosa lilac, acute willow, Colorado spruce, white spruce, buffaloberry and chokecherry. Make one application per year. Apply to Canada thistle at the rosette to pre-bud stage, post emergent, ground application only. Application rate: Apply at a rate of 0.50 L/ha. STRAWBERRY (Renovation) For control of tufted vetch and Canada thistle and suppression of sheep sorrel and ox-eye daisy, apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at the rate of 0.34 to 0.50 L/ha. Apply as a broadcast application with a boom sprayer calibrated to deliver a total volume of 150 to 200 L/ha. For Canada thistle control, refer to the Control of Canada Thistle section for rate selection. For control of tufted vetch apply at the 0.34 L/ha rate. For sheep sorrel and ox-eye daisy, apply at the 0.50 L/ha rate. Apply as the single treatment immediately after harvest but before mowing. Wait at least 7 to 10 days after Lontrel XC Herbicide application before mowing. Do not apply Lontrel XC Herbicide after mid-August because of its possible effects on runner development and flower bud formation. Later applications of Lontrel XC Herbicide may cause crop damage resulting in reduced yields in the season following treatment. Apply Lontrel XC Herbicide only as a summer renovation treatment. Do not apply Lontrel XC Herbicide more than once per year. Early strawberry varieties such as Annapolis or Veestar may be more susceptible to injury. Certain environmental stresses such as drought, flooding or severe overwintering conditions may increase the risk of injury from Lontrel XC Herbicide. CONTROL OF TUFTED VETCH IN LOWBUSH BLUEBERRY IN EASTERN CANADA ONLY Apply Lontrel XC Herbicide to control tufted vetch in lowbush blueberry. FOR SPOT APPLICATION ONLY. When using a hand gun or backpack sprayer to treat small infestations, apply Lontrel XC herbicide at a rate of 25 ml per 1000 square metre area in 200 L of water. When applying with a boom sprayer to treat larger infestations, apply 250 ml of Lontrel XC Herbicide per hectare in 150-200 L water. Make one application per year, in the non-bearing year (prune year). Apply in June OR when tufted vetch is in early bloom. Applications of Lontrel XC Herbicide may cause crop damage resulting in reduced yields in the season following application. The Pre-harvest interval is 10 months. CONTROL OF CANADA THISTLE AND OTHER LABELLED WEEDS IN POPLAR SPECIES AND THEIR HYBRIDS Apply Lontrel XC Herbicide at a rate of 0.50 L/ha to control Canada thistle and other labelled weeds in new and established short rotation intensive culture crops of poplar (Populus) species and their hybrids. Make one application per year. Apply to Canada thistle in the rosette to pre-bud stage. Apply by ground application only using an overall spray or as a directed spray to the base of the tree.

BUFFER ZONES Spot treatments using hand-held equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone. Use of low-clearance hooded or shielded sprayers that prevent spray contact with crop, fruit or foliage DO NOT require a buffer zone. For applications to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (for example, wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (for example, coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands).

For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the label for those tank-mix partners. The buffer zones for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Lontrel XC Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Lontrel XC Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: • Where possible, rotate the use of Lontrel XC Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing


• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(s) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.


• Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting,

historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.

• Monitor weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.

• Have suspected resistant weed seeds tested by a qualified laboratory to confirm resistance and identify alternative herbicide options.

• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

If swallowed: Call a poison control centre or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If on skin or clothing: Take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible. Call a poison control centre or doctor for further treatment advice. If in eyes: Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye. Call a poison control centre or doctor for treatment advice. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION No specific antidote. Employ supportive care. Treatment should be based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Toxic to non-target terrestrial plants and to aquatic organisms. Observe terrestrial and aquatic buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast, as runoff water may flow onto adjacent terrestrial areas and injure crops and other desirable non-target vegetation.

GENERAL INFORMATION Milestone Herbicide, applied as a post emergent, controls broadleaf weeds, invasive plants and woody plants in rangeland, permanent pasture, industrial areas (including but not limited to rights-of-way and military bases) and other non-crop areas. Applications should be avoided under conditions of drought or other environmental stresses. Read all precaution statements before using this product. For more information, contact your local Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. representative. For best results, apply Milestone Herbicide to young weeds that are actively growing at time of application. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Milestone Herbicide is highly active against broadleaf plants. This product is recommended for use on areas where loss of broadleaf forage plants, including legumes, can be tolerated. Do not apply more than 0.50 L (120 g ai) per hectare of Milestone Herbicide per annual growing season in rangeland, permanent pasture, industrial, and other non-crop areas. Sensitive Plants Milestone Herbicide works primarily through uptake by plant foliage and translocation throughout the plant. However, secondary herbicide activity may occur through soil update of the aminopyralid component of Milestone Herbicide. Very small amounts of aminopyralid can kill or damage sensitive broadleaf plants. Only spray pastures if injury to existing forage can be tolerated. Care should be taken to avoid spraying desirable broadleaved plants, during both growing and dormant periods. Avoid application within the drip line (outermost edge of the tree canopy) of desirable coniferous and deciduous trees unless injury can be tolerated. Use special caution when using aminopyralid-based products around species with extensive lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through layering.


Clippings or hay from vegetation which has been treated with aminopyralid should not be used for composting or mulching. Aminopyralid residues pass through animals unchanged and are still herbicidally active. The manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated hay should not be used around susceptible plants. Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas onto broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 3 days of grazing on untreated grass pasture. Only one application per growing season is permitted. Milestone Herbicide cannot be applied on domestic or commercial turf grass. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc at 1-800-667-3852 or www.dowagro.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. DIRECTIONS FOR USE READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT Invasive Plant Management Practices Milestone Herbicide can be applied postemergence as a broadcast spray or as a spot/strip application to control invasive plants. Post emergence applications should be made before bud stage or early flowering, unless otherwise specified. Best results are obtained when the spray volume is sufficient to provide uniform coverage of treated plants. For optimum uptake and translocation of the herbicide, avoid mowing, haying, shredding or disturbing treated areas for at least 7 days following application. Milestone Herbicide can be an important component of integrated vegetation management programs designed to restore desired plant communities. To maximize and extend the benefits of weed control provided by Milestone Herbicide, it is important that other vegetation management practices, including proper grazing management, fertilization, prescribed fire, mechanical mowing, hand-pulling, bio control and other methods, be used in appropriate sequences and combinations to further alleviate the adverse effects of invasive plants on desirable plant species and to promote development of desired plant


communities. Consult local agriculture and land management resource specialists and/or invasive plant councils. These organizations can provide guidance on best management practices and the development of integrated vegetation management programs. Rapid response to the early detection of new invasive plants is a key invasive plant management strategy. Containment, eradication and control are essential for the management of spreading and established invasive plants. Rangeland and Pasture Areas Make only one application per year for control of invasive plants. For best results, invasive plants should be treated when they are actively growing and under conditions favourable for growth. Milestone Herbicide also provides preemergence control of germinating seeds and control of emerged seedlings of susceptible plants following application. To reduce the spread of invasive plants, it is important to treat identified invasive plants in the target area while observing required buffer zones for broadcast applications. Return when the wind is blowing from the opposite direction to complete spraying the targeted plant population. Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications An important component of Invasive Plant Management programs is early detection and eradication. The instructions for individual plant or spot or strip applications can be used to stop the spread of invasive plants. This is particularly important in riparian areas, where spot application is preferable to broadcast treatment. Use the mixing charts and directions listed under the APPLICATION METHODS section below to mix Milestone Herbicide with enough water to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip applications, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray susceptible invasive plants. Note that use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. Preharvest/Grazing Intervals There is no restriction on livestock or lactating dairy animals grazing in treated areas. Allow 3 days of grazing on an untreated pasture (or feed untreated hay) before transferring livestock

to areas where sensitive broadleaf crops may be grown. MIXING METHODS Mixing with Water To prepare the spray mix, add half the desired amount of water in the spray tank. Then with agitation, add the recommended amount of Milestone Herbicide and then the tank-mix partner. Finally, with continued agitation, add the rest of the water. APPLICATION METHODS Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications Use the following mixing chart to mix Milestone Herbicide with enough water to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip application, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray weeds. Note that use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats.

250 mL – 500 mL 1000 litres Use the higher rate in the rate range when growing conditions are less than favourable or when the plant foliage is tall and dense. Broadcast Treatment (Ground and Aerial Applications) Applications of Milestone Herbicide may be made once grasses are well-established (have developed a good secondary root system and show good vigor). (1) Ground Application Using ground equipment, apply Milestone Herbicide as a broadcast treatment to control listed broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply Milestone Herbicide at the recommended rates in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha. DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Ground Application – Buffer Zones Requirements The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of non-target sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows and shrublands) and aquatic habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, coulees, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

† For field sprayers, buffer zones can be reduced by 70% when using shrouds or 30% when using cones.

When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture. NOTE: Applicators may recalculate a site-specific buffer zone by combining information on current weather conditions and spray configuration for the following applications: all airblast applications, and for field and aerial applications which specify the following droplet size category wording on the product label: ‘DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) [Fine or Medium or Coarse] classification.’ To access the Buffer Zone Calculator, please visit the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.


(2) Aerial Application To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan. DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Use Milestone Herbicide or the Milestone Herbicide + 2,4-D tank-mix as a broadcast treatment by air to control listed broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply Milestone Herbicide at the recommended rates in a minimum spray volume of 19 L/ha by air. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for additional instructions and precautions. Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate swath marking devices. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Avoid spray drift at the application site. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Users are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.


Aerial Application – Buffer Zones Requirements The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required. However, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used.

SPRAYER CLEAN-OUT INSTRUCTIONS Do not use spray equipment used to apply Milestone Herbicide for other applications to land planted to, or to be planted to susceptible crops or desirable sensitive plants, unless it has been determined that all residue of this herbicide has been removed by thorough cleaning of equipment. Equipment used to apply Milestone Herbicide should be thoroughly cleaned before reusing to apply any other chemicals. 1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use. Dispose of rinse water in non-cropland

area away from water supplies. 2. Rinse a second time, adding 1 litre of household ammonia or tank cleaning agent for every 1000 L of

water. Circulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15 to 20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.

3. Flush the solution out the spray tank through the boom. 4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time. 5. Nozzles and screens should be removed and cleaned separately.


RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Milestone Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Milestone Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Milestone Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing

GENERAL INFORMATION OcTTain XL Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in spring wheat, durum wheat, winter wheat and spring barley (not underseeded to legumes). OcTTain XL Herbicide provides control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaf weeds such as cleavers, wild buckwheat and kochia (including populations resistant to Group 2 herbicides). The components of OcTTain XL Herbicide move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissues. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones which control weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of effect include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR CROP DAMAGE. DO NOT APPLY TO CROPS UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUMES. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas 1. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure coverage with ASAE coarse droplet size

spray. 2. Keep ground-driven spray booms as low as possible and not exceeding 60 cm above the target

surface. 3. Spray when wind is less than 8 km/hr. 4. Do not spray in dead calm near sensitive plants. The “cloud” of suspended droplets may drift onto

sensitive plants when the wind comes up. Spray only when wind is blowing away from a sensitive crop, shelterbelt or garden.

Apply only when then potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, application equipment and sprayer settings.

▪ Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at and following time of application may reduce weed control and increase the risk of crop injury at all stages of growth.

▪ Wet foliage at the time of application may result in reduced weed control. ▪ Over-application may result in crop injury. ▪ Make only 1 application per year. ▪ Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. Restricted Entry Interval (REI) All crops—12-hour REI For non-crop areas – Until sprays have dried REI Sprayer clean-out To avoid injury to desirable plants, thoroughly clean equipment used to apply this product before re-use or using it to apply other chemicals. 1. Immediately after spraying, completely drain the sprayer tank. Any contamination on the outside of


• Spray the inside of tank with clean water and fill the sprayer with at least one tenth of the spray tank volume.

• Agitate and circulate for 15 minutes, and flush through booms and hoses.


• Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution



• Fill the tank with clean water. • Add All Clear Spray Tank Decontaminator as per manufacturer’s recommendations while filling

the tank with clean water. • Agitate and then flush the boom and hoses with the cleaning solution. Top up with water making

sure the tank is completely full. Allow to stand for 15 minutes with agitation. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the spray booms. Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solution through the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end and the nozzles.


• After flushing the boom and hoses, drain tank completely. • Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately with a cleaning agent or an ammonia

solution (100 mL in 10 L water). 4. Third rinse:



• Drain tank completely. SENSITIVE PLANTS Do not apply OcTTain XL Herbicide directly to, or otherwise permit it to come in direct contact with susceptible crops or desirable plants including alfalfa, edible beans, canola, flowers and ornamentals, lentil, lettuce, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tomatoes or tobacco. CROP ROTATIONS Fields previously treated with OcTTain XL Herbicide can be seeded the following year to alfalfa, barley, canola, corn, dry beans, fababeans, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, potatoes, rye, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers and wheat or fields can be summerfallowed. PRE-HARVEST/GRAZING INTERVALS ▪ Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. ▪ Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. ▪ Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. ▪ Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application.

NOTE: OcTTain XL Herbicide activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12C to 24C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8C or above 27C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Application Using Handheld Equipment OcTTain XL Herbicide has no limit on the amount handled per day for applications using mechanically-pressurized handguns in rights of way. Application Timing Apply when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at and following time of application may reduce weed control. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control. OcTTain XL Herbicide applications are rainfast within 1 hour after application. Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications Use the following mixing chart to mix OcTTain XL Herbicide with enough water to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip application, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray weeds. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. Mixing Chart

OcTTain XL Herbicide Spray Solution (water and herbicide) 16 – 31 mL 10 L

160 – 310 mL 100 L 1600 – 3100 mL 1000 L

Use the higher rate in the rate range for kochia control or when growing conditions are less than favourable. The maximum annual application rate is 3100 mL/ha.

Restrictions • Grazing intervals: There are no grazing restrictions for livestock following application. • Legumes: Do not apply if the injury to legumes cannot be tolerated. Legumes may be less sensitive

to herbicide injury after plant growth is mature and seed has set. • Do not harvest grass for hay from treated areas within 7 days of application. Tank Mix Combination – OcTTain XL Herbicide + MilestoneTM Herbicide OcTTain XL Herbicide can be tank mixed with Milestone Herbicide to broaden the spectrum of weeds and invasive plants controlled. Use 1.6 – 3.1 L/ha OcTTain XL Herbicide with 0.25 – 0.5 L/ha Milestone Herbicide. For mixing order see mixing instructions. When a tank mixture is used, follow all precautions, directions for use, and limitations on the tank-mix partner label.


Mixing Instructions 1. Begin to fill sprayer tank with clean water, and engage agitator. Agitation must be continued

throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure. 2. When the sprayer is three quarters full of water, add Milestone Herbicide. If more than one container

of Milestone Herbicide is to be used, add all Milestone Herbicide containers prior to adding any other tank-mix partners.

3. Add OcTTain XL Herbicide next. Continue to fill tank to desired level with water. Improved Pastures containing only forage grasses. OcTTain XL Herbicide can be applied post emergence as a broadcast spray to control weeds in improved pastures that may eventually be rotated into annual cropland. Such pastures may contain non-native, tame or introduced forage grass species. For permanent pastures / rangeland that will not be rotated with crops, please refer to the instructions listed in the above label section “Rangeland, permanent pasture, industrial and other non-crop areas of Canada”. Do not spray improved pastures if the injury to existing legume species cannot be tolerated. OcTTain XL Herbicide will injure or eliminate legume plants (e.g. alfalfa, clover species). DIRECTIONS FOR USE Apply when weeds are in the 2-4 leaf stage and actively growing. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at, and following time of application may reduce weed control. Pastures in poor condition or under stress (e.g., over-grazed, nutrient deficient, etc.) could lead to reduced weed control as a result of limited competition from the pasture grasses. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control. Application rates: OcTTain XL Herbicide: 1.1 L/ha alone or in tank-mix with 140 g a.e./ha of 2,4-D ester herbicide (equivalent to 0.2 L/ha of 2,4-D LV 700). Weeds controlled: Refer to the weeds controlled above with OcTTain XL Herbicide at 1.1 L/ha alone or in tank-mix with 140 g a.e./ha of 2,4-D ester herbicide. Restrictions: 1. Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. 2. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. 3. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Refer to the main OcTTain XL Herbicide label for additional details and instructions before using. READ THE ROTATIONAL CROPPING RESTRICTIONS ON THE FULL LABEL BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. BUFFER ZONES Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.



* Buffer zones for the protection of terrestrial habitats are not required for use on rights-of-way including railroad ballast, rail and hydro rights-of-way, utility easements, roads, and training grounds and firing ranges on military bases. For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank mix partners.

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to OcTTain XL Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: • Where possible, rotate the use of OcTTain XL Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing


• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(s) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.

• Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.

• Monitor weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.

Suitable extinguishing media: Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective.


Special hazards arising from the substance or mixtureHazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion products may include and are not limited to: Hydrogen chloride. Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation.Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids.Dense smoke is produced when product burns.

Advice for firefightersFire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Consider feasibility of a controlled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam fire extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible contamination. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS.

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • One case treats 8 ha or 20 ac at the highest rate.

• Case components: Sightline™ herbicide A – 1.84 kg, Sightline B – 6.72 L

• Sightline requires the addition of Gateway™ adjuvant at 0.2% v/v.

• Broadcast applications: Apply in a minimum of 200 L/ha total solution.

• Individual plant applications: 2.3 g of Sightline A, 8.4 mL of Sightline B, and 20 mL of surfactant in 10 L of water. Thoroughly wet, but not to the point of runoff.

When to apply • Apply to target weeds and shrubs when they are actively growing.

• Only weeds and shrubs present at the time of application will be controlled.


– Shrubs: Apply to actively growing shrubs, after full leaf expansion, but prior to the development of a waxy cuticle on the leaf of the shrubs.

• Kochia: For best results, apply to young plants once the majority of the kochia population has emerged, prior to seed set.

Rainfast 2 hours

Bareground • Tank mix Sightline with VP480 herbicide or another glyphosate for applications where total vegetation control is desired. Refer to product label for rates.

• Other tank mixes, such as Torpedo™, Arsenal or EsplAnade herbicides are supported under the PMRA tank-mix policy. Please contact your Corteva Agriscience™ representative.

319

Mixing instructions Use 135-230 g/ha Sightline™ A herbicide tank mixed with 0.42-0.84 L/ha Sightline B herbicide. Note that the highest rate of Sightline B (0.84 L/ha) is required for control of kochia (2- to 8-leaf stage).

1. Fill the spray tank 3⁄4 full of clean water.

2. Add the required amount of Sightline A herbicide with the agitation running. Pre-slurrying with water may be necessary where there is little or no agitation, or an injection system is being used.

3. Add the required amount of Sightline B herbicide with moderate agitation running.

4. Add Gateway™ at 0.2% v/v or 2 L/1,000 L of spray solution.

5. Add antifoaming agent, such as Halt, if required.

Note: When tank mixing with Torpedo™ herbicide, the addition of Agral® 90 surfactant at 0.25% to 1% or equivalent non‑ionic surfactant is required. If mixing issues are experienced, higher rates of 0.5% to 1.0% have been found to be beneficial in keeping multiple products in solution. Note: Gateway™ or Hasten adjuvants are not recommended when mixing Torpedo with Sightline. Agral 90 must be used.


• Apply to actively growing weeds and shrubs. Avoid applying to plants under stress.

• Kochia: For longer lasting results on bareground sites, apply when the majority of the population has emerged. Plants not emerged at the time of application will not be controlled.

• Pre-slurrying Sightline A is recommended.

Tree safety Sightline should NOT be used over the top of desirable trees. Application may be made up to the drip line (outermost edge of the branches) of desirable trees. Use additional caution around lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through root shoots.

APPLICATION METHODS Individual Plant Treatments (or Spot/Strip applications) Mix Sightline A Herbicide with enough water, surfactant and tank-mix partner (if necessary) to make the correct amount of spray solution. Follow the directions provided above for Mixing with Water. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip application, backpack sprayers or hose and handgun, to spray weeds. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. No aquatic or terrestrial buffer zones are required for individual plant or spot/strip applications. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target sensitive terrestrial plants. Do NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. Invasive Plant Management Early detection and control is a key strategy to prevent the spread of invasive plants. Individual plant treatments or spot/strip applications with Sightline A Herbicide on invasive species (susceptible species listed under Application Rates) can be effective in an integrated pest management (IPM) plan. To maximize and extend the benefits of weed/brush control by Sightline A Herbicide, other vegetation management practices, such as grazing management, fertilization, prescribed fire, mechanical mowing, hand-pulling, biocontrol and other methods, can be used in appropriate sequences and combinations. Consult local agriculture and land management specialists and invasive plant councils for guidance on best management practices for IPM. Aerial Application Use Sightline A Herbicide alone, or tank mixed with 2,4-D amine herbicide or glyphosate herbicide, as a broadcast treatment by air to control listed broadleaf weeds and woody plants. Apply Sightline A Herbicide at the recommended rates in a minimum spray volume of 30 L/ha by air. For better coverage use 50 litres/ha. Follow all instructions under Mixing Methods for surfactant requirements and order of mixing. Refer to the tank-mix partner label for additional instructions, directions for aerial application and precautions. Consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture. Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate swath marking devices. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.


The mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing should be laundered regularly. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-800-667-3852 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following: Avoid spray drift at the application site. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Users are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications: 1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75% of the length of


more than 45 degrees. Sprayer Clean-Out Instructions To avoid injury to desirable plants, thoroughly clean equipment used to apply this product before re-use or using it to apply other chemicals. 1. Immediately after spraying, completely drain the sprayer tank. Any contamination on the outside of















Drain tank completely. Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty odour which may cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. BUFFER ZONES Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

NOTE: The spray drift buffer zones for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Sightline A Herbicide is a Group 2 and Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Sightline A Herbicide and other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Sightline A Herbicide or other Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides

GENERAL INFORMATION Sightline B is a selective postemergent herbicide for the control of annual broadleaved weeds in rangeland, permanent pasture, rights-of-way, industrial and other non-crop areas of Canada. Sightline B offers a novel mode of action for controlling hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds such as kochia (including ALS resistant biotypes).


MODE OF ACTION Sightline B is a systemic auxin-type herbicide and moves within the plant for control of exposed and underground plant tissues. The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of weeds include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Sensitive Plants Do not apply Sightline B directly to, or otherwise permit it to come in direct contact with susceptible crops or desirable plants including alfalfa, edible beans, canola, flowers and ornamentals, lentils, lettuce, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tomatoes or tobacco.

Non-Target Sites Do not apply where proximity of susceptible crops or other desirable plants is likely to result in exposure to spray or spray drift. See Environmental Hazards section of the label. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during period of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or www.dowagro.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc.

Spray Equipment Precaution Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR. To Reduce Spray Drift Use nozzles delivering higher volumes and coarser droplets. Use low pressures (200 to 275 kPa). Use 100 L/ha of spray solution. Spray when the wind velocity is 15 km/hr or less. Spot treatments should only be applied with a calibrated boom to prevent over-application. Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as

houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, application equipment and sprayer settings

Equipment Clean-Up Equipment used to apply Sightline B should not be used to apply other pesticides to sensitive crops without thorough cleaning. Contact your Sightline B dealer for detailed equipment cleaning procedures.


DIRECTIONS FOR USE READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR CROP DAMAGE. DO NOT APPLY TO CROPS UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUMES.

RANGELAND, PERMANENT PASTURE, INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER NON-CROP AREAS OF CANADA

Sightline B Herbicide Alone Apply Sightline B Herbicide for post emergent control of kochia, including ALS resistant biotypes in non-cropland areas including roadsides, rights of way, permanent perennial grass cover areas, and industrial vegetation management areas. See Table for weed controlled and application rates. Kochia Control by Sightline B Herbicide Alone Weeds Sightline B Herbicide Rate (L/ha) Kochia (2-8 leaf) Control 0.84 Kochia (2-8 leaf) Suppression 0.42 Including biotypes resistant to Group 2 herbicides that inhibit the ALS enzyme. NOTE: Sightline B Herbicide activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12C to 24C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8C or above 27C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Application Timing Apply when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at and following time of application may reduce weed control. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control. Sightline B Herbicide applications are rainfast within 1 hour after application.

Individual Plant or Spot/Strip Applications Use the following mixing chart to mix Sightline B Herbicide with enough water to make the correct amount of spray solution. Use equipment designed for individual plant or spot/strip application, such as a backpack sprayer or hose and handgun, to spray weeds. Thoroughly and uniformly wet the foliage of all target plants but not to the point of runoff. Direct spray away from aquatic habitats and non-target terrestrial plants. DO NOT apply this product directly to fresh water habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. Mixing Chart

Sightline B Herbicide Spray Solution (water and herbicide) 4.2 – 8.4 mL 10 L 42 – 84 mL 100 L

420 – 840 mL 1000 L Use the higher rate in the rate range for kochia control or when growing conditions are less than favourable. The maximum annual application rate is 840 mL/ha.


Restrictions Grazing intervals: Livestock may be grazed on treated pasture 3 days following application. Legumes: Do not apply if the injury to legumes cannot be tolerated. Legumes may be less sensitive

to herbicide injury after plant growth is mature and seed has set. Do not harvest grass for hay from treated areas within 7 days of application. Tank Mix Combination – Sightline B Herbicide + MilestoneTM Herbicide Sightline B Herbicide can be tank mixed with Milestone Herbicide to broaden the spectrum of weeds and invasive plants controlled. Use 0.42 – 0.84 L/ha Sightline B Herbicide with 0.25 – 0.5 L/ha Milestone Herbicide. For mixing order see mixing instructions. When a tank mixture is used, follow all precautions, directions for use, and limitations on the tank-mix partner label. Mixing Instructions 1. Begin to fill sprayer tank with clean water, and engage agitator. Agitation must be continued

throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure. 2. When the sprayer is three quarters full of water, add Milestone Herbicide. If more than one container

of Milestone Herbicide is to be used, add all Milestone Herbicide containers prior to adding any other tank-mix partners.

3. Add Sightline B Herbicide next. Continue to fill tank to desired level with water. BUFFER ZONES Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: handheld or backpack sprayer and spot treatment. For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height about canopy), should be used. Applicators much, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats. The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands).

Description of first aid measures General advice: First Aid responders should pay attention to self-protection and use the recommended protective clothing (chemical resistant gloves, splash protection). If potential for exposure exists refer to Section 8 for specific personal protective equipment. Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call an emergency responder or ambulance, then give artificial respiration; if by mouth to mouth use rescuer protection (pocket mask etc). Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Wash clothing before reuse. Shoes and other leather items which cannot be decontaminated should be disposed of properly. Eye contact: Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. Suitable emergency eye wash facility should be available in work area. Ingestion: No emergency medical treatment necessary. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Aside from the information found under Description of first aid measures (above) and Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed (below), any additional important symptoms and effects are described in Section 11: Toxicology Information. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Notes to physician: No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Have the Safety Data Sheet, and if available, the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Dense smoke is produced when product burns.


4/13

Advice for firefighters Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Consider feasibility of a controlled burn to minimize environment damage. Foam fire extinguishing system is preferred because uncontrolled water can spread possible contamination. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has passed. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Immediately withdraw all personnel from the area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or discoloration of the container. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Contain fire water run-off if possible. Fire water run-off, if not contained, may cause environmental damage. Review the "Accidental Release Measures" and the "Ecological Information" sections of this (M)SDS. Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location. For protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire clean-up situations, refer to the relevant sections.


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering the area. Refer to section 7, Handling, for additional precautionary measures. Use appropriate safety equipment. For additional information, refer to Section 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. Environmental precautions: Prevent from entering into soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and/or groundwater. See Section 12, Ecological Information. Spills or discharge to natural waterways is likely to kill aquatic organisms. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spilled material if possible. Small spills: Absorb with materials such as: Clay. Dirt. Sand. Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labeled containers. Large spills: Contact the company for clean-up assistance. See Section 13, Disposal Considerations, for additional information.


Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children. Do not swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed. Use with adequate ventilation. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION. Conditions for safe storage: Store in a dry place. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water supplies.

TORDON™ 22KWeed Control

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • Tordon 22K is packaged in 2 x 10 L jugs.• Apply Tordon 22K at 1.1-4.5 L/ha. Use enough water to wet the weeds without

run-off, 400-800 L of spray per treated hectare is usually required.• For the control of leafy spurge, field bindweed and toadflax only, a spot

treatment rate of 90 mL/100 m2 may be used, provided no more than 50% of a hectare is treated.

When to apply • Apply to target weeds when they are actively growing.• Only weeds present at the time of application will be controlled.

Rainfast 2 hours

Optimizing performance • Do not apply to soils that are very permeable (textures of sandy loam to sand) throughout the entire profile and that also have an underlying shallow aquifer.

• Do not treat areas intended to be used for cultivated sensitive crops or other desirable plants in sequential years. Clippings from grass or crops that have been treated with Tordon 22K should not be used for composting or mulching, nor should the manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated forage be used around susceptible plants.

• Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.

Grazing • There is no restriction for livestock grazing treated areas.

Tree safety Tordon 22K should NOT be used over the top of desirable trees. Application should remain 1.5x the height of off target trees away. Use additional caution around lateral root systems, shallow rooting species and those that propagate vegetatively through layering.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION If burn is present, treat as any thermal burn after decontamination. No specific antidote. Employ supportive care. Treatment should be based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient.


AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALDo not ship or store with food, feeds, drugs or clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply to any water bodies or in areas where the runoff from treated areas will reach fish-

bearing waters. Do not contaminate water through spray drift, by cleaning of equipment or disposal ofwastes.

Do not apply to irrigation ditches that contain or may contain water to be used for irrigation ordomestic purposes.

TOXIC to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified underDIRECTIONS FOR USE.

Do not apply to soils that are very permeable (textures of sandy loam to sand) throughout the entireprofile and which also have an underlying shallow aquifer.

Do not apply to soils containing sinkholes over limestone bedrock. Do not apply to soils whose surfaces are composed of severely fractured rock or unconsolidated

gravel and underlaid with an aquifer. Picloram is persistent and will carryover. It is recommended that any products containing picloram

not be used in areas treated with this product during the previous season. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils

are permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate

to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip

between the treated area and the edge of the water body.

STORAGE Do not store near food, foodstuffs, fertilizers, seeds, insecticides, fungicides or other pesticides.

DISPOSAL Recyclable Containers: Do not reuse this container for any purpose. This is a recyclable container, and is to be disposed of at a container collection site. Contact your local distributor/dealer or municipality for the location of the nearest collection site. Before taking the container to the collection site:

1. Triple- or pressure-rinse the empty container. Add the rinsings to the spray mixture in the tank.2. Make the empty, rinsed container unsuitable for further use.

If there is no container collection site in your area, dispose of the container in accordance with provincial requirements.

Returnable Containers: Do not reuse this container for any purpose. For disposal, this empty container may be returned to the point of purchase (distributor/dealer).

For information on disposal of unused, unwanted product, contact the manufacturer or the provincial regulatory agency. Contact the manufacturer and the provincial regulatory agency in case of a spill, and for clean-up of spills.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use Tordon 22K herbicide to control patches of biennial and deep-rooted perennial weeds including Canada thistle, perennial sow-thistle, field bindweed, toadflax, pasture sage and scentless chamomile on rangeland, permanent grass pastures and on non-cropland areas such as around farm buildings,


fencerows, roadsides and other rights-of-way including electrical transmission and distribution lines, railroads and pipelines in Canada. Tordon 22K is highly active, water-soluble and can be persistent under certain environmental conditions (see section entitled ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS). For further information to help prevent damage to desirable crops and plants, consult your District Agriculturalist or nearest weed specialist for local recommendations and guidance.

USE PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT APPLY BY AIR

Field sprayer application DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Do not allow spray drift. Herbicides containing picloram are highly active. Tiny amounts may cause damage to plants if applied during either growing or dormant periods. Use only low pressure sprays (150 to 350 kPa) or other equipment designed to minimize the danger of spray drifting onto desirable plants such as vegetables, flowers, grapes, fruit trees, ornamentals, tomatoes, potatoes, beans of all types including soybeans and other broadleaved plants. Keep away from trees and shrubs as their roots may extend well beyond their limbs and branches. Apply Tordon 22K only when there is little movement of air and use coarse sprays to minimize drift. Do not apply by air as this increases drift hazard.

Do not apply Tordon 22K to irrigated land or land to be irrigated.

Do not contaminate water. Do not treat the banks of irrigation or drainage ditches and avoid spray drift falling into them to avoid contaminating water used for irrigation. Dike around and avoid irrigation through treated areas. Water used for drinking, irrigation and other domestic purposes must not be contaminated.

Do not move treated soil. Soil from treated areas must not be moved with land levelers, harvesting and cultivation equipment or by any other means into land in crop.

Tordon 22K is not to be used for domestic purposes or for use by Commercial Pesticide Applicators in residentially zoned areas.

For use on industrial/commercial zoned areas, including rights-of-way that traverse urban areas. Contact appropriate provincial regulatory authorities before use to determine if buffer zones/setback distances are required to be maintained between the treated area (right-of-way) and the residential area.

Do not treat areas intended to be used for cultivated sensitive crops or other desirable plants. It usually requires up to five years for herbicides containing picloram to be deactivated by the soil. Clippings from grass or crops which have been treated with Tordon 22K should not be used for composting or mulching, nor should the manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated forage be used around susceptible plants.

To avoid injury to desirable plants, containers used for Tordon 22K should not be reused to contain othermaterials. Spray equipment used to apply Tordon 22K should not be used to apply other pesticides to crops susceptible to herbicides containing picloram. If it is necessary to do so, contact your Dow AgroSciences Vegetation Management Specialist for detailed equipment clean-up procedures.

For pastures and rangelands: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.


Do not apply more than once per year. For non-crop uses: Do not enter or allow entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval

(REI) of 12 hours or until sprays have dried. DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie

potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment

or disposal of wastes.

Be Sure To Follow All Use Precautions Given On This Label And Remember These Key Points:

1. Use only the recommended amounts.2. Tordon 22K is persistent. It will carry over in soil. Treated soil should not be moved out of the treated

area.3. Picloram is very difficult to clean from sprayers. Use a different sprayer for applying other materials to

desirable plants or crops. Hand guns equipped with proportioning devices and reservoirs for Tordon22K are useful in preventing sprayer contamination. With these devices, the farm sprayer is used onlyas a water reservoir.

4. Tordon 22K is water-soluble. It can move with water in irrigation or drainage ditches.5. Spray drift can damage crops.

Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or www.dowagro.ca for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label.

Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the boom and hoses using at least one tenth ofthe spray tank volume.

Remove end caps or open ball valves on the ends of each boom section, and flush solutionthrough the boom ends to ensure there is no spray solution trapped between the boom end andthe nozzles.

Drain tank completely.Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty odour which may cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area.

GENERAL USE The rate of Tordon 22K required varies according to the weed species and plant density (see Table 1 and2). Use enough water to wet the weeds without run-off, 400 to 800 L of spray per treated hectare is usually required. For small areas mix as directed in 18 L of water and apply 18 L of spray mixture per 100 m2.

For use as a spot treatment and broadcast foliar application on perennial weeds, mix at the rates given in Table 1 and 2. Apply at the rate of 800 L of spray mixture per treated hectare. For small areas use the rates given for treating 100 m2 and apply in 18 L of water. For patches apply as indicated inTable 3.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE - RANGELAND, PERMANENT GRASS PASTURES AND OTHER NON-CROPLAND AREAS Mix with water and apply as a coarse, low pressure spray (150 to 350 kPa) or use other equipment designed to minimize spray drift. Apply any time when fully developed green leaves are present.

NOTE: Legumes are susceptible to Tordon 22K. Do not spray pastures containing forage legumes unless the kill of such legumes can be tolerated. Do not graze treated area by dairy animals within 6 weeks after treatment.

TANK-MIX COMBINATIONS WITH TORDON 22K HERBICIDE When a tank mixture is used, follow all precautions, directions for use and limitations on the tank-mix partner label.

Tank-Mix Combination – Tordon 22K Herbicide plus 2,4-D Amine Tordon 22K Herbicide can be tank mixed with 2,4-D amine herbicide (present as dimethylamine salt) to broaden the spectrum of broadleaf weeds, invasive plants, trees and woody species controlled.

Apply 1.55 – 4.45 kg a.e/ha of 2,4-D amine* (present as dimethylamine salt and equivalent to 2.75 – 7.90 L/ha of 2,4-D amine 600 herbicide) tank mixed with 1.1 – 4.67 L/ha of Tordon 22K Herbicide.

*Various manufacturers and formulations. Consult the 2,4-D amine label for details on rates and weeds,brush and woody growth controlled. When a tank-mixture is used, follow all precautions, directions foruse and limitations on the tank-mix partner label.

Directed Leaf-Stem Applications With Single Nozzle Application Equipment For control of woody plants, use 2.71 L of Tordon 22K Herbicide plus 2.4 kg a.e of 2,4-D amine (equivalent to 4.26 L of 2,4-D amine 600 herbicide) in 1000 L of water and apply to woody plants after the foliage is fully developed. Maximum 1 application per year. The spray solution should thoroughly wet all plant parts including foliage and stems and should be applied when plants are actively growing to achieve the maximum control. Application made when the foliage has lost its normal green colour and vigour may not give satisfactory results.

For faster burndown of coniferous species use a silicone based surfactant such as Xiameter OFX-0309Fluid at the rate of 0.25% by volume (250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid should be added after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, Tordon 22K Herbicide and 2,4-D amine herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing.

When applying Tordon 22K Herbicide plus 2,4-D amine herbicide with ground application equipment, the spray pressure at the nozzle should be no higher than is required for penetration of the target vegetation. The spray should always be directed toward the target, away from non-target, susceptible plants and no higher than the tops of the target plants. To aid in reducing spray drift, a nozzle and pressure should be selected which produces coarse spray droplets and minimizes production of fine droplets. Do not use high spray pressures in order to reach distant vegetation.


Broadcast Foliage Application Woody Plant Control: Apply 4.67 L/ha of Tordon 22K Herbicide plus 4.15 kg a.e./ha of 2,4-D amine(equivalent to 7.36 L/ha of 2,4-D amine 600 herbicide) in 200 L of total spray to control brush such as alder, birch, cedar, maple, pine, poplar, spruce and other species. Control of conifers or other hard-to-control brush species may be inconsistent. Maximum 1 application per year.

For faster burndown of coniferous species use a silicone based surfactant such as Xiameter OFX-0309Fluid at the rate of 0.25% by volume (250 mL per 100 L of water). If maximum rainfastness is desired increase the rate to 0.375% (375 mL per 100 L of water). Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid should be added last after the herbicide is thoroughly mixed. Agitate to thoroughly mix the water, Xiameter OFX-0309 Fluid, Tordon 22K Herbicide and 2,4-D amine herbicide. Apply soon after mixing. Do not prolong application for longer than 24 hours after mixing.

BUFFER ZONES TO PROTECT SENSITIVE HABITATSField sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.


BUFFER ZONESUse of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.

For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Tordon 22K Herbicide is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Tordon 22K Herbicide and other Group 4 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Tordon 22K Herbicide or other Group 4 herbicides with different

herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information

related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural,biological and other chemical control practices.

Mixing instructions 1. Fill clean spray tank 1⁄2 to 2⁄3 of desired level with clean water.2. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, pre-slurry the required amount of Torpedo™

herbicide with water prior to addition to the spray tank. Use a minimum of 3.8 L (1 gallon) of water per 283 g (10 oz) of Torpedo herbicide.

3. While agitating, slowly add the pre-slurried Torpedo herbicide to the spray tank. Agitation should create a rippling or rolling action on the water surface.

4. After adding Torpedo, add tank mix partner product(s) in the following order: (1) water soluble granules;

(2) wettable powders; (3) aqueous suspensions, flowables and liquids; (4) emulsifiable concentrates; and (5) solutions.

Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after each addition.5. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should continue until all spray

solution has been applied. Aggressive over-agitation may cause precipitate to form on the tank walls.

6. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Torpedo herbicide should be applied within six hours of mixing.

7. If product is allowed to settle, thoroughly agitate to re-suspend the mixture before spraying.

Optimizing performance • Avoid application to plants under stress, or when prolonged periods without moisture are forecasted.

• Do not incorporate into the soil.

Torpedo is a combination of two active ingredients from herbicide Groups 14 and 15 in one granule for weed control in bareground situations. It creates a layer of active ingredient in the soil that plants must grow through in order to be affected. For optimal performance, it requires a minimum 0.5‑1.0 cm of moisture to be activated and the soil should remain undisturbed.

Susceptible weeds will hit the Torpedo layer and often do not emerge. Weeds that do emerge appear twisted or crinkled due to irregular growth and will stop growing.

If you have any questions, call the manufacturer at 519-767-9262or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this specific product must meet and/or conform to the following:

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This product is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to non-target plants and aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.

This pesticide is toxic to plants and should be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run-off precautions on this label in order to minimize off-site exposures.

Under some conditions this product may have a potential to run-off to surface water or adjacent land. Where possible, use methods which reduce soil erosion, such as no till, limited till and contour plowing; these methods also reduce pesticide run-off. Use of vegetation filter strips along rivers, creeks, streams, wetlands or on the downhill side of fields where run-off could occur will minimize water run-off and is recommended.

DISPOSAL/DECONTAMINATION

DO NOT REUSE THIS CONTAINER FOR ANY PURPOSE. This is a recyclable container and is to be disposed of at a container collection site. Contact your local distributor/dealer or municipality for the location of the nearest collection site. Before taking the container to the collection site:

1. Triple- or pressure-rinse the empty container. Add the rinsings to the spray mixture in the tank. 2. Make the empty container unsuitable for further use.



5

STORAGE:Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage. Keep pesticide in original container. Store in a cool, dry, secure place. Do not put formulation or dilute spray solution into food or drink containers. Do not store or transport near feed or food. Not for use or storage in or around the home. To prevent contamination, store this product away from food or feed.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, please note that Torpedo Herbicide is both a Group 14 and a Group 15 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Torpedo Herbicide and other Group 14 and/or Group 15 herbicides. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Torpedo Herbicide and other Group 14 and Group 15 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of Torpedo Herbicide or other Group 14 and /or Group 15

herbicides within a growing season (sequence) or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.






For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact Valent Canada at 519-767-9262.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE

When used in accordance with this label, Torpedo Herbicide: • Provides residual control of susceptible weeds in fallow land.• Provides additional burndown activity when used as part of a burndown program in fallow

land.• Can be used on farms for non-selective vegetation control to maintain bare ground non-crop

areas that must be kept weed free. • Can be used to maintain bareground in non-crop areas.

Moisture is necessary to activate Torpedo Herbicide in soil for residual weed control. When adequate moisture is not received after a Torpedo Herbicide application, weed residual control may be improved by irrigation with at least 1.25 cm of water. Dry weather following applications of Torpedo Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, Torpedo Herbicide will control susceptible germinating weeds. Torpedo Herbicide may not control weeds that germinate after application but before an activating rainfall/irrigation or weeds that germinate through cracks resulting from dry soil.

Burndown ApplicationApply Torpedo Herbicide as part of a burndown program to actively growing weeds. Applying Torpedo Herbicide under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide effectiveness. Do not apply Torpedo Herbicide when weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, temperature extremes, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to herbicidal action. Torpedo Herbicide is most effective when applied under warm sunny conditions.

Reduced residual weed control may occur when burndown applications are made to fields where heavy crop and/or weed residue exist.

RainfastnessTorpedo Herbicide is rainfast one hour after application. Do not apply Torpedo Herbicide if rain is expected within one hour of application or postemergence efficacy may be reduced.

Soil CharacteristicsApplication of Torpedo Herbicide to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher dosages than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content. Application to cloddy seedbeds can result in reduced weed control.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS • Do not apply this product when weather conditions favor spray drift from treated areas. • Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions, including fog.• Do not apply by air. • Do not apply to frozen or snow covered soil. • Mechanical incorporation into the soil will reduce residual weed control. • As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to

control aquatic pests. • DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of

equipment or disposal of wastes.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Spray equipment used to apply Torpedo Herbicide should not be used to apply other materials to any crop foliage, unless the proper cleanout procedure is followed. See “SPRAYER CLEANUP” for more information.

SPRAYER PREPARATIONBefore applying Torpedo Herbicide, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. The spray tank, as well as all hoses and booms, must be cleaned to ensure no residue from the previous spraying operation remains in the sprayer. Some pesticides, including but not limited to, the sulfonylurea and phenoxy herbicides are active at very small amounts and can cause crop injury when applied to susceptible crops. The spray equipment must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's directions for the last product used before the equipment is used to apply Torpedo Herbicide. If two or more products were tank mixed prior to Torpedo Herbicide application, the most restrictive cleanup procedure should be followed.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 to 2/3 of desired level with clean water. 2. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, pre-slurry the required amount of Torpedo Herbicide with

water prior to addition to the spray tank. Use a minimum of 3.8 litres (1 gallon) of water per 283 g (10 oz) of Torpedo Herbicide.

3. While agitating, slowly add the pre-slurried Torpedo Herbicide to the spray tank. Agitation should create a rippling or rolling action on the water surface.

4. If tank mixing Torpedo Herbicide with other labeled herbicides, add water soluble bags first, followed by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate spray operation.

5. Add any required adjuvants. 6. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should continue until all spray solution

has been applied.7. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Torpedo Herbicide

should be applied within 6 hours of mixing.

APPLICATION METHOD Torpedo Herbicide is applied by ground. Application equipment should be clean and in good repair. Nozzles should be uniformly spaced on boom and frequently checked for accuracy. Apply Torpedo Herbicide, and Torpedo Herbicide tank mixes, with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped with flat fan (preplant or preemergence applications only) designed to deliver the desired spray pressure and spray volume.

Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

8

CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSUREPreemergence Application (Conventional Tillage): To ensure uniform coverage, use 100 to 300 L of spray solution per hectare for conventional tillage applications. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's volume and pressure recommendations for preemergence herbicide application.

Burndown Application: To ensure thorough coverage in burndown applications, use 150 to 600 L spray solution per hectare. Use 200 to 600 L per hectare if dense vegetation or heavy crop residue is present. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's volume and pressure recommendations for postemergence herbicide application. Do not use flood jet nozzles.

SPRAYER CLEANUP Spray equipment, including mixing vessels and nurse tanks, must be cleaned each day following Torpedo Herbicide application. After Torpedo Herbicide is applied, the following steps must be used to clean the spray equipment: 1. Completely drain the spray tank, rinse the sprayer thoroughly, including the inside and outside

of the tank and all in-line screens. 2. Fill the spray tank with clean water and flush all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles. 3. Top off tank, add 3.8 litres of 3% household ammonia (or equivalent) for every 378.5 L of

water, circulate through sprayer for 5 minutes, and then flush all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles for a minimum of 15 minutes. If diaphragms are being used on the spray boom, loosen diaphragms before flushing the spray system, allowing cleaning solution to spray through the open diaphragm. If spray lines have any end caps, they must be loosened before flushing the system, allowing cleaning solution to spray though the loosened caps. To enhance removal of Torpedo Herbicide from the spray system, add a tank cleaner in place of ammonia and allow the cleaning solution to remain in the pressurized spray system (spray tank, hoses and boom) for 8 hours before flushing the system for a minimum of 15 minutes.

4. Drain tank completely. 5. Add enough clean water to the spray tank to allow all hoses, booms, screens and nozzles to be

flushed for 2 minutes. 6. Remove all nozzles and screens and rinse them in clean water.

Spray equipment, including all tanks, hoses, booms, screens and nozzles, should be thoroughly cleaned before it is used to apply postemergence pesticides. Equipment with Torpedo Herbicide residue remaining in the system may result in crop injury to the subsequently treated crop.

BUFFER ZONES:Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.

For application to rights-of-way (such as bareground to railroad beds, under guard rails, above-ground pipelines, road surfaces and gravel shoulders) buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies which minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g., wind directions, low wind speed) and spray equipment (e.g., coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used. Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

9

The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive aquatic habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO MAINTAIN BARE GROUND ON NON-CROP AREAS OF FARMS

Use Torpedo Herbicide for non-selective vegetation control to maintain bare ground on non-crop areas of farms that must be kept weed free.

Torpedo Herbicide offers residual and postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf and grass weeds as well as an additional mode of action to assist in the control of ALS (acetolactate synthase) resistant weeds. Torpedo Herbicide can be tank mixed with the other herbicides for increased residual or postemergence control. The length of residual control is dependent on the rate applied as well as on rainfall and temperature conditions. Length of residual control will decrease as temperature and precipitation increase. Torpedo Herbicide rates of 420 to 580 g/ha are required to provide residual control of the weeds listed in Table 2

11

USE PRECAUTIONS • Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or

other desirable vegetation.• Do not apply to ditch banks. • Do not apply within 100 metres of non-dormant pears. • Do not apply to powdery soils or soils that are susceptible to wind displacement unless irrigation

can be applied immediately after application. • Do not make more than one application per season.

PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONApply 420 to 580 g/ha of Torpedo Herbicide as a preemergence application. Preemergence applications of Torpedo Herbicide must be completed prior to weed emergence. Moisture is necessary to activate Torpedo Herbicide on soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following application of Torpedo Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, Torpedo Herbicide will control susceptible germinating weeds.

POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONApply 420 to 580 g/ha of Torpedo Herbicide plus an adjuvant (0.25% v/v non-ionic surfactant) as a postemergence application. The addition of an adjuvant enhances Torpedo Herbicide activity on emerged weeds. Thorough spray coverage is necessary to maximize the postemergence activity of Torpedo Herbicide. Emerged weeds are controlled postemergence with Torpedo Herbicide, however, translocation of Torpedo Herbicide within a weed is limited, and control is affected by spray coverage and by the addition of an adjuvant. The most effective postemergence weed control with Torpedo Herbicide occurs when applied in combination with a surfactant to weeds less than 5 cm in height. A tank mix partner should be used in combination with Torpedo Herbicide for the postemergence control of weeds less than 5 cm.

420 - 580Preemergence: Apply prior to weed emergence.

Postemergence: When weeds are already emerged, apply Torpedo Herbicide plus an adjuvant (0.25% v/v non-ionic surfactant) or in a tank mix1

Use the higher rates on fine-medium texture soils for longer residual control.

1: Refer to the respective tank mix partner label for additional recommendations, restrictions and precautions. Follow the mostrestrictive application directions for each of the tank mix partners.

12

TANK MIX PARTNERS: Completely read and follow the label of any potential tank mix partner with Torpedo Herbicide. When using tank mixtures, use conditions must be in accordance with the most restrictive of the label limitations and precautions on either herbicide label. Recommended tank mix partners include glyphosate, 2,4-D, Ester and Liberty 200 SN .

DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO MAINTAIN BARE GROUND ON FOR INDUSTRIAL VEGETATION MANAGEMENT (IVM)

Torpedo Herbicide, when used as directed, can be used for non-selective vegetation control to maintain bare ground non-crop areas that must be kept weed-free. Apply Torpedo Herbicide to: Bare ground under guardrails, above-ground pipelines, railroad beds, railroad yards and

surrounding areas Bare ground in parking and storage areas, plant sites, substations, pumping stations, and tank

farms Bare ground areas of airports, brickyards, industrial plant sites, lumber yards and military

installations, and storage areas Bare ground around farm buildings and along fencerows Road surfaces, improved roadside areas and gravel shoulders

USE PRECAUTIONS Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift from treated areas. Do not apply to ditch banks. Do not apply to farm alleys or roads where traffic may result in treated dust settling onto crops or

other desirable vegetation. Do not apply within 100 metres of non-dormant pears. Do not apply to powdery soils or soils that are susceptible to wind displacement unless irrigation

can be applied immediately after application. Do not make more than one application per season.

Torpedo Herbicide offers residual and postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf and grass weeds as well as an additional mode of action to assist in the control of ALS (acetolactate synthase) resistant weeds. Torpedo Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides for increased residual or postemergence control. The length of residual control is dependent on the rate applied as well as on rainfall and temperature conditions. Length of residual control will decrease as temperature and precipitation increase. Torpedo Herbicide at 420- 580 g/ha is required to provide residual control of the weeds listed in Table 2.

TIMING TO WEEDS PREEMERGENCE APPLICATIONApply 420 – 580 g/ha of Torpedo Herbicide as a preemergence application. Preemergence applications of Torpedo Herbicide should be made to a weed-free soil surface. Preemergence applications of Torpedo Herbicide must be completed prior to weed emergence. Moisture is necessary to activate Torpedo Herbicide on soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following application of Torpedo Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, Torpedo Herbicide will control susceptible germinating weeds.

13

POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONApply 420 – 580 g/ha of Torpedo Herbicide plus an adjuvant (0.25% v/v non-ionic surfactant) as a postemergence application. The addition of an adjuvant enhances Torpedo Herbicide activity on emerged weeds. Thorough spray coverage is necessary to maximize the postemergence activity of Torpedo Herbicide. Emerged weeds are controlled postemergence with Torpedo Herbicide, however, translocation of Torpedo Herbicide within a weed is limited, and control is affected by spray coverage and by the addition of an adjuvant. The most effective postemergence weed control with Torpedo Herbicide occurs when applied in combination with a surfactant to weeds less than 5 cm in height. A tank mix partner should be used in combination with Torpedo Herbicide for the postemergence control of weeds less than 5 cm.

TANK MIX PARTNERS: Completely read and follow the label of any potential tank mix partner with Torpedo Herbicide. When using tank mixtures, use conditions must be in accordance with the most restrictive of the label limitations and precautions on either herbicide label. Recommended tank mix partners include 2,4-D Ester, Hyvar XL, Krovar, Telar, Vanquish, Banvel, Karmex, Velpar, Arsenal, Tordon and Garlon

TOXICITY OF FLUMIOXAZIN TECHNICAL:

Subchronic: Compound related effects of Flumioxazin Technical noted in rats following subchronic exposures athigh dose levels were hematotoxicity including anemia, and increases in liver, spleen, heart, kidney and thyroidweights. In dogs, the effects produced at high dose levels included a slight prolongation in activated partialthromboplastin time, increased cholesterol and phospholipid, elevated alkaline phosphatase, increased liver weightsand histological changes in the liver. The lowest no-observable-effect-level (NOEL) in subchronic studies was 30 ppm

in the three-month toxicity study in rats.

Chronic/Carcinogenicity: In a one year dog feeding study, Flumioxazin Technical produced treatment-relatedchanges in blood chemistry and increased liver weights at 100 and 1000 mg/kg/day. Minimal treatment-relatedhistological changes were noted in the livers of animals in the 1000 mg/kg/day group. Based on these data the NOELis 10 mg/kg/day. Dietary administration of Flumioxazin Technical for 18 months produced liver changes in mice of the3000 and 7000 ppm groups. There was no evidence of any treatment-related oncogenic effect. The NOEL for thisstudy is 300 ppm. Dietary administration of Flumioxazin Technical for 24 months produced anemia and chronicnephropathy in rats of the 500 and 1000 ppm groups. The anemia lasted throughout the treatment period, however, itwas not progressive nor aplastic in nature. No evidence of an oncogenic effect was observed. The NOEL for thisstudy is 50 ppm.

Developmental Toxicity: Flumioxazin Technical produces developmental toxicity in rats in the absence of maternaltoxicity at doses of 30 mg/kg/day by the oral route and 300 mg/kg/day by the dermal route. The developmental effectsnoted consisted primarily of decreased number of live fetuses and fetal weights, cardiovascular abnormalities, wavyribs and decreased number of ossified sacrococcygeal vertebral bodies. The developmental NOEL in the rat oral anddermal developmental toxicity studies were 10 and 100 mg/kg/day, respectively. The response in rabbits was verydifferent from that in rats. No developmental toxicity was noted in rabbits at doses up to 3000 mg/kg/day, a dose wellabove the maternal NOEL of 1000 mg/kg/day.

Mechanistic studies indicate that the effects seen in the rat are highly unlikely to occur in the human and thatflumioxazin would not be a developmental toxicant in the human.

Reproduction: Reproductive toxicity was observed in F1 males, P1 females and F1 females at 300 ppm FlumioxazinTechnical, the highest dose tested and a dose that also produced signs of systemic toxicity. Toxicity was alsoobserved in the F1 and F2 offspring at doses of 200 ppm and greater.

Mutagenicity: Flumioxazin Technical was not mutagenic in most in vitro assays: gene mutation and a chromosomeaberration assay in the absence of metabolic activation. In three in vivo assays, chromosome aberration, unscheduledDNA synthesis and micronucleus assay, Flumioxazin Technical was not mutagenic. The only positive response wasobserved in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay in the presence of metabolic activation. Overall, FlumioxazinTechnical does not present a genetic hazard.

TOXICITY OF PYROXASULFONE TECHNICAL:

Subchronic: Pyroxasulfone related effects include increased AST, slight liver and kidney weight increases,increased cardiomyopathy, centrilobular hepatocellular hypertrophy and hyperplastic urinary bladder mucosa. TheNOAEL in rats was 50 ppm. No neurotoxicity was observed at acute doses to rats as high as 2000 mg/kg.

Chronic/Carcinogenicity: Pyroxasulfone was not carcinogenic in lifetime feeding studies in mice. Pyroxasulfoneproduced an increased incidence of urinary bladder transitional cell papillomas in male rats in a two-yearcarcinogenicity study. The tumours seen with Pyroxasulfone were caused through a non-genotoxic mechanism, whichis not relevant at low doses.

Reproduction: Pyroxasulfone did not produce effects on fertility or the embryo at the dosage of which generaltoxicity to parental animals was observed.


Mutagenicity: Pyroxasulfone is not mutagenic according to results for an in vitro reverse mutation test, chromosomalaberration test and in vivo mouse bone marrow miconucleus test.

No reproductive effects were observed in bobwhite quail exposed to 500 ppmFlumioxazin Technical in the diet. In mallard ducks, a slight, but not statisticallysignificant reduction in hatchlings and 14-day old survivors was observed. Basedon a possible, slight effect on egg production at 500 ppm, the NOEL for this studywas 250 ppm.

The following results were obtained from studies with Pyroxasulfone Technical:

LD50 bobwhite quail: greater than 2250 mg/kg

VP480Non-Selective Control

VP480 herbicide provides high performance, non‑selective control for the professional vegetation manager.

WHY USE VP480?• Reliable. Trusted non-selective control of grasses and broadleaf weeds

• Innovative formulation. Rapidly absorbed by the plant for premium grass and weed control.

• Tank mix convenience. Can be used in combination with ClearView™, Milestone™, Sightline™, Torpedo™ herbicides and other IVM registered products for bareground applications.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

• Annual broadleaf weeds• Annual grasses

• Perennial broadleaf weeds• Perennial grasses and sedges

USE GUIDELINE

Rates and packaging • VP480 is packaged in 2 x 10 L jugs and 960 L totes.

• Refer to the product label for specific rates.

When to apply • Apply to target weeds when they are actively growing.

• Plants that have not emerged will not be controlled with VP480 alone.

Rainfast 30 minutes

Bareground • VP480 can be tank mixed with Sightline, ClearView, Milestone or OcTTain™ XL for applications where total vegetation control is required.

Optimizing performance • Apply to actively growing weeds. Avoid applying to plants under stress.

• Rainfall immediately after application may wash herbicide off.

• Heavy dust on weed leaves will reduce control.

• VP480 is compatible with isopropylamine formulations (IPA Salt) and dimethylamine formulations (DMA Salt). It is not advised to tank mix VP480 with potassium formulations of glyphosate (K + Salt) in the spray tank.

• Use clean water for spray solution, as organic matter binds to the active ingredient, reducing efficacy. Do not use water from open bodies of water.

Please refer to label for a detailed list of broadleaf weeds and grasses controlled.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE GENERAL INFORMATION The restricted entry interval is 12 hours after application for all agricultural uses. For non-crop uses: Do not enter or allow entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours or until sprays have dried. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Glyphosate is not to be applied using hand-wicking or hand-daubing methods. Do not apply this product using aerial spray equipment except under conditions as specified within this label.


Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Airblast or mist blower application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side. For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows. Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) coarse classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan. VP480 Herbicide, a water soluble liquid, mixes readily with water for application as a foliage spray for the control or destruction of most herbaceous plants. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water in accordance with the booklet instructions. This herbicide moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days but on most perennial weeds may not occur until 7 to 10 days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather at treatment time may slow down activity of this product and delay visual effects of control. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Delay application until vegetation has emerged to the stages described for control of such vegetation under the annual and perennial weed control sections of this booklet to provide adequate leaf surface to receive the spray. Unemerged plants arising from underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the spray and will continue to grow. For this reason best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. Always use the higher rate of this product per hectare within the recommended range when weed growth is heavy or dense, or weeds are growing in an undisturbed (non-cultivated) area. Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage, as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust. This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control follow a label approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Do not mix with any surfactant, pesticide, herbicide oils or any other material other than water unless specified in this booklet. For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff. Tank Mixtures In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc.


When applied as a tank-mix combination, read and observe all label directions, including rates and restrictions for each product used in the tank-mix. Follow the more stringent label precautionary measures for mixing, loading and applying stated on both product labels. MIXING AND APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS ATTENTION: AVOID CONTACT WITH FOLIAGE, GREEN STEMS, OR FRUIT OF CROPS, DESIRABLE PLANTS AND TREES SINCE SEVERE INJURY OR DESTRUCTION MAY RESULT. APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLUTIONS IN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CALIBRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF DELIVERING DESIRED VOLUMES. AVOID DRIFT - EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURING DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Even minute quantities of spray drift can cause severe damage or destruction to nearby crops, plants or other areas on which treatment is not intended, or may cause other unintended consequences. DO NOT USE IN GREENHOUSES. REDUCED RESULTS MAY OCCUR IF WATER CONTAINING SOIL IS USED, SUCH AS WATER FROM PONDS AND UNLINED DITCHES. Clean sprayer and parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with water. Do not contaminate water sources by disposal of wastes or cleaning of equipment. NOTE: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this booklet may result in injury to persons, animals or crops, or other unintended consequences. Keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination. MIXING AND APPLICATION EQUIPMENT INFORMATION MIXING For ground or industrial type sprayers, fill the spray tank with one-half the required amount of water. Add the proper amount of herbicide (see "Weed Control" sections of this booklet) and mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the liquid solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing hose from tank immediately will avoid back siphoning into water source. Use of mechanical agitators may cause excessive foaming. Bypass lines should terminate at the bottom of the tank. For use in knapsack sprayers, it is suggested that the proper amount of this herbicide be mixed with water in a larger container. Fill sprayer with the mixed solution. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT BOOM EQUIPMENT For control of perennial weeds and woody brush and trees listed on this booklet using conventional boom equipment-- Apply this product in 50 to 300 L of clean water per hectare as a broadcast spray using no more than 275 kPa pressure. See "Weed Control" sections of this booklet for rates to control specific weeds. For control of annual weeds listed on this booklet using conventional boom equipment--Apply this product in 50 to 100 L of clean water per hectare as a broadcast spray, except as otherwise stated on this label using no more than 275 kPa pressure. See "Weed Control" sections of this booklet for rates to control specific weeds.


HAND HELD AND HIGH VOLUME EQUIPMENT (use coarse sprays only) For control of weeds and woody brush and trees listed in the "Weed Controlled" section of this label using knapsack sprayers or high volume spraying equipment utilizing handguns or other suitable nozzle arrangements. Unless otherwise specified, make a 0.75% solution of this product in water (0.75 litre of this product in 100 litres of water) and apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For best results, use a 1.5% solution (1.5 litres of this product in 100 litres of water) on harder to control perennials such as field bindweed, hemp dogbane, milkweed and Canada thistle. Applications should be made on a spray-to-wet basis. Spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to point of runoff. Hand gun applications should be properly directed to avoid spraying desirable plants.

ADDITION OF SURFACTANT All VP480 Herbicide tank mixtures for annual weed control require the addition of the surfactant Agral 90, or Ag Surf, or Companion. Surfactant should be added at a rate of 350 mL per hectare, in 50 – 100 L of clean water. Additional Important Information for Annual Weed Control Allow at least 1 day after treatment before tillage Annual weeds generally will continue to germinate from seed throughout the growing season. Repeat treatments may be necessary to control later germinating weeds, in some situations. For additional information and precautions, refer to the "General Information" and "Mixing and Application" sections of this label.

†NOTE: For spot treatment, mix 90 mL of product in 5 L clean water per 100 m2. (1.88 – 9 L/ha is approximately equivalent to 19 – 90 L/100 m2, respectively). SPECIAL NOTES FOR PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL QUACKGRASS For season-long control on fall tilled ground: Apply 1.88 L/ha of this product in spring prior to seeding. Apply in 50 to 100 L/ha of clean water as described in the preceding table. Delay application until the majority of quackgrass plants have 4-5 green leaves. This stage usually occurs 1 to 4 weeks later on fall tilled ground than on undisturbed ground. Reduced control may result on ground tilled deeper than 15 cm. NOTE: This treatment will provide season-long control of quackgrass on fall tilled ground. Reduced control will be experienced versus this product on non-fall tilled ground. Repeat treatments may be necessary. Applications on forages should be followed by tillage 3 days or later and should be made when good growing conditions exist. If a frost has occurred, wait several days to determine if the quackgrass has recovered. Quackgrass can be treated after a mild frost provided there are 3 to 4 green leaves actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall. Surfactant Information: The following is a list of approved surfactants for use with VP480 Herbicide for control of quackgrass: Agral 90 Ag Surf Companion Always refer to surfactant label for specific instructions regarding use of that product. CANADA THISTLE Control of Canada Thistle at the rosette stage: To ensure the proper timing of application the following steps must be followed: 1. Conduct summerfallow tillage as usual and perform the last tillage operation between July 15th and

August 1. 2. Allow the thistles to regrow for a minimum of 5 weeks until they are a minimum of 15cm in diameter and

in the rosette stage of growth. NOTE: Canada thistle can be treated after a mild frost provided the leaves are still green and actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall.


VP480 Herbicide plus Banvel II Tank Mixtures For control of Canada thistle (and perennial sow thistle) in summerfallow or in post-harvest stubble, apply 1.28 L/ha VP480 Herbicide plus 1.25 L/ha Banvel II in 100 – 200 L/ha of clean water. In addition, add 350 mL/ha of a non-ionic surfactant registered for use with this product, such as Agral 90, Ag Surf, or Companion. For best results in summerfallow, cultivate in the spring and apply when the majority of thistles are 15 cm to 25 cm tall and before the bud stage. Cultivate 3 weeks after application. In post harvest stubble, apply this tank mixture to actively growing thistles at least 2 weeks prior to a killing frost. NOTE: Grow only cereals, canola (including rapeseed), soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, or white beans after application of this tank mixture. If application is made after September 1st, or if soil moisture levels are extremely low after application, crop injury may occur in the spring following application. TOADFLAX Control of Toadflax in a Summerfallow Vegetative Stage To ensure the proper timing of application, the following steps must be followed: 1. Conduct summerfallow tillage as usual and perform the last tillage operation between July 10-21. 2. Allow toadflax to regrow for a minimum of 4-5 weeks until they are minimum of 15 cm tall and at a lush

green vegetative stage. NOTE: Toadflax can be treated after a mild frost provided the leaves are still green and actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost. DANDELION Applications should be made up to and including bloom for best results. Follow-up control measures should be used to manage new dandelions germinating from seed to maintain control throughout the season. ALFALFA CONTROL WITH 2,4-D TANK-MIX: The addition of 2,4-D may improve alfalfa control in situations where control may be more difficult to obtain, such as in minimum tillage systems where populations are heavy, and with spring applications. For fall control of established stands of alfalfa, apply 1.88 – 3.75 L/ha VP480 Herbicide – and 1.2 – 2.4 L/ha of any 500 g/L 2,4-D amine or low volatile ester formulation in 100 – 200 L water/ha. (Adjust product rates accordingly for other 2,4-D formulations). For spring applications, use only the low rate of 2,4-D (i.e. 1.2 L/ha) and 1.88 – 3.75 L/ha VP480 Herbicide. Only cereal crops not underseeded to legumes may be planted following spring applications of this tank-mix, and a 14 day interval between application and planting is required. Use the higher VP480 Herbicide rates when perennial grasses are prevalent. ALL PERENNIAL WEEDS Weed Stages: Weeds must be at the proper stage for effective control. Refer to "Perennial Weed Control with VP480 Herbicide "


Nozzle Type: For best results with conventional boom equipment apply this product with 50 to 300 L/ha of clean water using flat fan nozzles and no more pressure than 275 kPa. Rhizome Dormancy: Reduced control may result if rhizomes have become dormant. Dormancy may occur if soil fertility is low and/or the land has not been tilled for several years. Mowing Effects: Mowing prior to application will reduce effectiveness unless weeds are allowed to regrow to the proper stage before application. Tillage Effects: Fall or spring tillage prior to spring applications and tillage between harvesting and fall applications will reduce the effectiveness on perennial weeds. Follow-up tillage after application should be delayed 5-7 days for best results (see Weed Control Table for specific tillage interval for each weed). Rainfall Effects: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Regrowth from Germinating Seeds: This product only controls emerged plants. Repeat treatments or other weed control measures may be required to control weeds regenerating from seeds or other underground parts. Frost Effects: Heavy frosts prior to application may reduce control. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall. CROPLAND SITUATIONS ALWAYS READ PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS, GENERAL INFORMATION and MIXING and APPLICATION SECTIONS PRIOR TO SPECIFIC APPLICATION INFORMATION IN ANY LABEL SECTION. This product can be applied as a broadcast spray or spot treatment prior to planting all crops, post harvest to annual crops, preharvest in wheat, barley, oats, canola (rapeseed), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), lentils, peas, soybeans, dry beans and forages, and in summerfallow. It may also be applied as a broadcast spray in glyphosate tolerant canola, soybean or corn (refer to sections on Weed Control in Glyphosate Tolerant Canola, Soybean or Corn). It can also be applied as a directed spray in orchards, vineyards, blueberries and strawberry, and using selective equipment in soy and dry beans, orchards, vineyards, cranberries and strawberry (refer to specific sections below for more information). For specific instructions on weed control in the following cropping situations, always refer to the Annual and Perennial Weed Control sections for more information. Prior to Planting - All Crops This product may be applied prior to planting all crops for control of emerged weeds listed on this label. Ensure weeds are at the desired stage at the time of application. This product does not provide pre-emergent weed control and newly germinating weeds may be a problem in the crop. APPLY BEFORE SEEDING OR TRANSPLANTING. Post Harvest Stubble Treatment This product may be applied in the fall as a postharvest stubble treatment for control of perennial weeds such as quackgrass and Canada thistle. Allow weeds to regrow to the desired stage (20-25 cm tall for quackgrass and Canada thistle) before application and ensure they have a high proportion of green coloration. Straw should be removed or evenly spread to allow for proper regrowth and spray coverage. Heavy frosts prior to application may decrease control. Spot Treatment (In-Crop) This product can be applied as an in-crop spot treatment in barley, corn, oats, soybeans, wheat, strawberry, blueberry, forage grasses and legumes including seed production. Applications should be made using the same rates and at the same growth stages as listed in the weed control tables or use a 0.75% solution for annual weeds and quackgrass and a 1.5% solution for other perennial weeds (a 0.75% solution equals 0.75 litre VP480 Herbicide in 100 litres of spray solution). The 0.75 or 1.5 per cent solutions should be applied to


wet, but not run-off. Applications can be made using a boom sprayer, hose and handgun, or hand sprayer in accordance with instructions in the "Application Equipment" section. Grazing Restrictions Applications can be made up to heading of small grains, initial pod set on soy and dry beans, silking of corn and emergence of seed heads. The crop in the treated area will be killed. Take care to avoid drift for the same reason. DO NOT APPLY IF CROP GROWTH HAS ADVANCED BEYOND SEED SET. ALLOW 3 TO 5 DAYS FOR VP480 HERBICIDE TO TRANSLOCATE INTO ALL PLANT PARTS BEFORE GRAZING OR HARVESTING TREATED AREAS IN FORAGES. Summerfallow Treatment This product, or labelled tank mixtures, may be applied in summerfallow to control weeds listed on this label. Ensure weeds are at the desired growth stage and actively growing at application for best results. Reduced control may result if weeds are drought stressed. Weeds will continue to germinate from seed throughout the growing season. Repeat treatments may be necessary to control later germinating weeds. Minimum and Zero Tillage Cropping Systems (All Field Crops, including cereals, oilseeds, pulses, forages, corn and potatoes) This product may be applied prior to seeding or after seeding, but before crop emergence for control of emerged weeds in minimum and zero tillage cropping systems for all field crops. Applications made too far in advance of seeding may allow weeds to emerge between application and crop emergence, as this product does not provide residual weed control. Minimum and Zero Tillage Tank Mixtures VP480 Herbicide plus bromoxynil (Pardner) can be applied prior to seeding or after seeding, but before crop emergence in wheat, barley and oats. Refer to “Annual Weed Control with VP480 Herbicide Tank Mixtures” table for information. VP480 Herbicide plus Pursuit can be applied prior to, or after, seeding, but before crop emergence in soybeans. VP480 Herbicide will control emerged weeds listed on this label when applied as directed (refer to Annual and Perennial Weed Control sections). Pursuit will control weeds germinating from seed. Add the recommended rates of both products in 100 L of water/ha, following the instructions on the Pursuit herbicide label. ALWAYS REFER TO THE PURSUIT LABEL FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON WEEDS CONTROLLED, APPLICATION DIRECTIONS, AND USE PRECAUTIONS. ONLY SOYBEANS, FIELD CORN, SPRING BARLEY, SPRING WHEAT AND WINTER WHEAT MAY BE PLANTED THE SEASON FOLLOWING A PURSUIT APPLICATION. WINTER WHEAT MAY BE PLANTED THE SAME YEAR AS A PURSUIT APPLICATION TO SOYBEANS, BUT NOT EARLIER THAN 120 DAYS AFTER THE APPLICATION. DO NOT APPLY AFTER CROP EMERGENCE VP480 Herbicide plus MCPA can be applied prior to seeding in wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn (field and sweet; MCPA amine only), flax and field peas (MCPA amine only). Refer to “Annual Weed Control with VP480 Herbicide Tank Mixtures” table for information. VP480 Herbicide plus Buctril M. can be applied prior to seeding in wheat, rye, corn, barley, oats, flax, canary seed and seedling grasses (including brome grass, crested wheatgrass, intermediate wheat grass, slender wheatgrass, tall wheatgrass, Russian wild rye, Timothy, Orchard grass, creeping red fescue, meadow fescue, meadow foxtail, seedling tall fescue, seedling meadow bromegrass, seedling streambank wheatgrass and reed canary grass Refer to “Annual Weed Control with VP480 Herbicide Tank Mixtures” table for information. VP480 Herbicide plus MCPA amine can be applied prior to seeding in lentil and chickpea Refer to “Annual Weed Control with VP480 Herbicide Tank Mixtures” table for information.


Forage Legumes and Grasses This product may be applied for control of emerged weeds prior to emergence of forage legumes and grasses. If the forages are to be under-seeded with a cover crop, this product must be applied prior to planting the cover crop. Pasture Renovation Use this product to control or suppress existing vegetation for zero-tillage seeding of legumes into established sod for pasture renovation. Delay spraying until weed growth is at least 20 cm in height and a maximum number of seedlings or shoots have emerged. Application can be made immediately before, during or after seeding, but before crop emergence. Forage Seed Production For spot treatment control of perennial weed problems such as quackgrass and Canada thistle in seed fields, apply as directed to vegetation that is at least 20 to 25 cm in height but before emergence of seed head. The crop in the treated areas will be killed. Take care to avoid drift outside target area for the same reason. PRE-HARVEST CONTROL OF QUACKGRASS, CANADA THISTLE, MILKWEED, TOADFLAX and DANDELION; SEASON-LONG CONTROL OF PERENNIAL SOW THISTLE, AND HARVEST MANAGEMENT For control of quackgrass, Canada thistle, common milkweed, toadflax and dandelion; and season-long control of perennial sow thistle, VP480 Herbicide can be applied prior to harvest of wheat, barley (including malting barley), oats, canola (rapeseed), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), lentils, peas, dry beans, soybeans and forages. DO NOT apply to crops if grown for seed production. This treatment may also provide harvest management benefits, by drying down crop and weed vegetative growth, for example, where late flushes of annual weeds, green vegetative crop growth, or late tillering may interfere with harvest operations. EXTREMELY COOL, WET AND/OR CLOUDY WEATHER CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE TIME OF APPLICATION AND THE ANTICIPATED HARVEST DATE MAY SLOW DOWN ACTIVITY OF THIS PRODUCT, THEREBY DELAYING CROP DRYDOWN AND HARVEST DATE. VP480 Herbicide should be applied pre-harvest at 1.88 L/ha in 50 to 100 L/ha of clean water, by ground application only. Apply only when the crop has 30% or less grain moisture content. This stage typically occurs 7 to 14 days before harvest. For forage crops, apply this product at 1.88 – 3.75 L/ha 3-7 days prior to the last cut before rotation or forage renovation. Consult the table "Guidelines for Timing of Preharvest Applications" for visual indicators of this stage in each crop. For the best weed control results quackgrass should be actively growing and have at least 4 to 5 green leaves. Canada thistle and perennial sow thistle should be actively growing and at or beyond the bud stage for best results. Common milkweed should be at the bud to bloom stage and actively growing for best results. Applications for weed control (not for harvest management) must be made at the correct stage of both weed and crop growth. Apply only during the period 7-14 days (or 3-7 days for forage applications) before harvest to ensure best weed control and to maximize harvest management benefits. Earlier application may reduce crop yield and/or quality, and may lead to excess glyphosate residues in the crop. Do not expose or contaminate any body of water or non-target vegetation by direct application, spray drift, or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment. DO NOT APPLY BY AIRCRAFT

Earlier application may reduce crop yield and/or quality, and may lead to excess glyphosate residues in the crop. USE PRECAUTIONS AVOID DRIFT ON TO IMPORTANT WILDLIFE HABITATS. EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURING DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Apply only in wind conditions in compliance with local and/or provincial regulations. Do not apply when other climatic conditions, including lesser wind velocities, will allow significant drift to occur. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore do not use nozzles or nozzle configurations which disperse spray as fine spray droplets. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure. See # 1 of the Nature of Restrictions for additional details. Do not overspray or allow drift on to bodies of water, wetlands† and/or wetland vegetation (e.g., sloughs, swamps, bogs, marshes, potholes), shelterbelts, woodlots and other cover on the edge of fields. IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE DRIFT HAZARD TO NON-TARGET PLANTS AND AQUATIC VEGETATION IN THE HABITATS LISTED ABOVE, DO NOT APPLY WITHIN 100 METRES OF THE EDGE OF ANY OF THESE HABITATS. Do not apply directly to roadside ditches, or apply under conditions that would favour drift into roadside ditches. †A wetland is any land where the water table stands at or above the land surface for at least part of the year, and contains vegetation associated with wetlands such as bulrushes, sedges, cattails, etc.

Ensure uniform application - To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices, or equivalent electronic positioning systems (GPS).

NOTE TO USER: READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT FOR THE INDICATED SPECIAL USE APPLICATIONS: (NORTH AMERICAN GINSENG). The DIRECTIONS FOR USE for this product for the use(s) described on this label were developed by persons other than Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. and accepted for registration by Health Canada under the User Requested Minor Use Label Expansion program. Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. itself makes no representation or warranty with respect to performance (efficacy) or crop tolerance (phytotoxicity) claims for this product when used on the crop(s) listed on this label.


Accordingly, the Buyer and User assume all risks related to performance and crop tolerance arising, and agree to hold Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. harmless from any claims based on efficacy and/or phytotoxicity in connection with the use(s) described on this label. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ALWAYS REFER TO THE PRODUCT LABEL FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON WEEDS CONTROLLED, APPLICATION DIRECTIONS, AND USE PRECAUTIONS. NORTH AMERICAN GINSENG New Gardens (British Columbia only): Apply this product in the fall after seeding but before freeze-up in new gardens only to control volunteer cereals. Apply when weeds are at the growth stages listed on the product label. Use a single application of 1.88 litres per hectare in 50 to 100 litres water per hectare. DO NOT USE A FALL APPLICATION IN ESTABLISHED/EXISTING GARDENS. Existing/Established Gardens: Apply this product in the spring before the crop has emerged from the soil. Apply when weeds are at the growth stages described in the product label. A maximum of two 1.88 litres per hectare applications in 50 to 100 litres water per hectare may be made in a season. DO NOT USE A FALL APPLICATION IN ESTABLISHED/EXISTING GARDENS. SELECTIVE EQUIPMENT WIPER APPLICATORS This product may be applied with a wiper applicator, after dilution and thorough mixing with water, to listed weeds in soy and dry beans, grapes, orchards, cranberries and strawberry. Applications must be made before initial pod set in soy and dry beans. (It may also be used in any industrial, tree planting and non-crop site specified on this label.) A wiper applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed with an absorbent material containing the herbicide solution. Wiper applicators include either roller or wick devices which physically wipe appropriate concentrations or amounts of this product directly onto the weed. Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Performance may be improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to insure adequate wiper saturation. Best results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions. AVOID CONTACT WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators used above desired vegetation should be adjusted so that wiper contact point is at least 5 cm above the desirable vegetation. Droplets or foam of the herbicide solution settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Applications should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 15 cm above the desirable vegetation. Best results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, severe infestations, or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat treatments may be necessary. See the Weed Control tables in this label for recommended stage of growth for specific weeds. NOTES • Maintain equipment in good operating condition. Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. • Adjust height of applicator to insure proper contact with weeds. • Keep wiping surfaces clean. • Maintain recommended roller RPM on roller applicators while in use. • Keep wiper material at proper degree of saturation with herbicide solution. • DO NOT use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.


• DO NOT operate equipment at ground speeds below 4 and greater than 10 km/h. Weed control may

be affected by speed of application equipment. As weed density increases, reduce equipment ground speed to insure good coverage of weeds.

• Be aware that on sloping ground the herbicide solution may migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying on the upper end of the wiper applicator.

• Variation in equipment design may affect weed control. With wiper applicators, the wiping material and its orientation must allow delivery of sufficient quantities of the recommended herbicide solution directly to the weed.

• Care must be taken with all types of wipers to insure that the absorbent material does not become over-saturated, causing the herbicide to drip onto desirable vegetation.

• With all equipment, drain and clean wiper parts immediately after using this product, by thoroughly flushing with water.

For Roller Applicators--Mix 0.38 to 0.75 L of this product in 10 L water to prepare a 3.8 to 7.5% solution. Roller speed should be maintained at 50 to 150 rpm. For Wick or other Wiper Applicators--Mix 1 litre of this product in 3 litres of water to prepare a 25% solution.

Use the 4.5 L/ha rate for Maple, Alder and Willow† species, as well as for hard to control perennial weed species. († Suppression only) Spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Do not allow spray drift to contact desirable vegetation as severe injury or destruction may occur. If weeds have been mowed or tilled, do not treat until regrowth has reached the recommended stages. AERIAL APPLICATIONS: For industrial, rights-of-way and military bases only DIRECTIONS FOR USE Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.


Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking device or equivalent electronic positioning systems (GPS). The use of a spotter plane is recommended. Use Precautions Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat. Operator Precautions Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly. Application Rates For woody brush and trees, apply 2.25 to 4.5 L of this product per hectare. Use the 4.5 L/ha rate for Maple, Alder and Willow† species, as well as for hard to control perennial weed species. Use the recommended rates of this herbicide in 30 to 100 L of water per hectare. As density of vegetation increases, spray volume should be increased within the recommended range to ensure complete coverage. This product may also be applied by aerial application for the control of annual and perennial weeds, woody brush and trees in artillery impact zones on military bases. († Suppression only) Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38412 may prevent corrosion. Product Specific Precautions Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative. Application of this product must meet and or conform to the following: Volume: Apply the recommended rate in a spray volume of 30 to 100 litres per hectare. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure.


Drift is increased under certain meteorological conditions. Do not apply during periods of dead calm, when winds are gusty or when wind speed is greater than 16 km/hour at flying height at the site of application. Do not use a boom height greater than 10 metres above canopy. Only nozzles producing coarse droplet sizes (i.e., ASAE droplet size categories with VMD ≥ 385.2 μm) should be used for aerial application of VP480 to rights-of-way and military bases. PURPLE LOOSESTRIFE CONTROL • DO NOT TREAT PLANTS OVER OPEN WATER. VP480 Herbicide is not registered for direct application

to bodies of water. • Treat when plants are actively growing at or beyond the bloom stage. If using hand-held equipment,

spray-to-wet. • For wiper applications, see specific section on this label. • Where feasible, remove flower heads before treatment to ensure prevention of seed set. • For large (>1.6 ha) monocultures of loosestrife, work from the periphery inward in successive years to

allow competing vegetation to invade the treated area. • A long-term control strategy should include measures to control both established plants and seedlings.

Sprayed areas should be monitored to determine the appropriate follow-up management. Early detection and treatment of second and third generation seedlings is important to prevent re-infestation of purple loosestrife. Desirable native plant communities will then have a chance to become re-established.

Selective Application for All Non-Cropland Uses Selective equipment such as WIPER and ROLLER applicators can be used to control emerged weeds in non-crop areas and tree plantings. See "Selective Equipment" for more information. Turfgrass When applied as directed, under conditions described, this product controls most existing vegetation. Apply this product at rates specified in the "Weed Control in Non-Cropland Areas" section. DO NOT DISTURB SOIL OR UNDERGROUND PLANT PARTS BEFORE TREATMENT. Where existing vegetation is growing in a field or unmowed situation, apply this product to actively growing weeds at the stages of growth given in the "Weeds Controlled" section of this booklet. Where existing vegetation is growing under mowed turfgrass management, apply this product after omitting at least one regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good interception of the spray and proper translocation into underground plant parts. Tillage or renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring or slicing should be delayed for 7 days after application to allow proper translocation into underground plant parts. For maximum control of existing vegetation, delay establishment to determine if regrowth from escaped underground plant parts occurs. When repeat treatments are necessary, sufficient regrowth must be attained prior to application. Desirable turfgrasses may be established following the above procedures. Injection Applications - for all non-cropland uses Woody vegetation may be controlled by injection application of this product. Apply using suitable equipment, which must penetrate into living tissue, at a rate of at least 0.38 mL (either undiluted or 1:1 with water) per 5 cm tree diameter at breast height (DBH). The cuts should be spaced evenly around the tree and below all major branches. Application may be made at any time of year, except when cold temperatures prevent adequate penetration of injection equipment, or in the spring during periods of heavy sap flow. Control of tree species with tree diameters greater than 20 cm may not be acceptable at this rate. Total control may not be evident for 1-2 years following treatment. A list of species controlled includes: ALDER Alnus spp. BIRCH Betula spp. CEDAR Thuja spp.

HEMLOCK Tsuga spp. MAPLE† Acer spp. PINE Pinus spp.


CHERRY Prunus spp. DOUGLAS FIR Pseudotsuga spp.

POPLAR Populus spp. WILLOW Salix spp.

†This treatment may only provide suppression of Big-Leaf Maple. Late fall applications will provide optimum suppression of Big- Leaf Maple Cut Stump Application Woody vegetation may be controlled by the application of this product to freshly cut stumps to prevent regrowth. Because the treatment uses a concentrated solution, application must be made using low-pressure equipment, e.g. squirt bottle or similar device. This product must be applied immediately to the surface of the freshly cut stump i.e. within 5 minutes for optimum control at the prescribed rates. Only the cambial tissues of the cut surface should be treated. Apply the herbicide solution at a rate equivalent to at least 0.38 mL product for every 5 cm DBH. Do not cover the remaining area nor any exposed roots, as this product does not penetrate bark well. This treatment may be used at any time of year, except during periods of heavy sap flow or when low temperatures prevent solution application due to freezing. A water soluble colourant may be added to the solution as a means of indicating which surfaces have been treated. Total control may not be evident until 1-2 years after treatment. See the “Injection Applications” section of this label for the list of species controlled. FORESTRY USES DO NOT APPLY BY AIR Unless otherwise specified under a restricted use. Application Rates (Forest and Woodland Management, Conifer/Deciduous/Pasture Release) To control or suppress most herbaceous weeds, woody brush and trees, apply 2.25 to 4.5 litres of this product per hectare using ground boom or boomless, or mist blower equipment, or apply as a 1 to 2% solution using hand-held high volume equipment. For control of perennial herbaceous weeds, woody brush and trees in site preparation applications using ground boom or boomless, or mist blower equipment, apply 5.25 to 9 litres of this product per hectare as directed in the recommended volume of clean water to the foliage or actively growing vegetation. Use the 4.5 L/ha rate for control of maple, alder or willow species. WOODLAND MANAGEMENT (Treatment of 500 ha or less) SITE PREPARATION and FOREST ROADSIDE (Ground Only) and RIGHTS-OF-WAY VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Use this product as broadcast treatment at recommended rates, to control herbaceous weeds, woody brush and tree species. For control of herbaceous weeds, apply when most perennial broadleaf weeds have reached the early head of early bud stage of growth. For perennial grasses, apply when most weeds are 20 cm in height. Apply when brush and tree species are actively growing and when foliage is full and well-developed. For best results apply in late summer or early fall. Some autumn colours on undesirable deciduous species are acceptable provided no major leaf fall has occurred. Following site preparation application of this product, any silvicultural species may be planted. For control of vegetation on sites with infestations of ericaceous species (e.g. Kalmia spp - sheep laurel, lamb kill), use 4.5 L/ha VP480 in the recommended water volume and an additional silicon-based surfactant (such as Sylgard 309) as per label instructions. Apply between mid-August and mid-September for maximum performance. CONIFER RELEASE Use this product as a broadcast spray at recommended rates, to control herbaceous weeds, woody brush and tree species, to release from competition the coniferous species listed below:


DOUGLAS FIR Pseudotsuga spp.

PINE Pinus spp.

FIR Abies spp

SPRUCE Picea spp.

HEMLOCK Tsuga,spp.

For conifer release of spruce seedlings in the year of transplanting, apply 1.5 to 4.5 litres of this product per hectare in plantations of summer planted spruce species (Picea glauca, P. Engelmanii and their hybrids). Conifers must be planted in the same year as treatment and in the field for at least 18 days prior to treatment. Seedlings to be treated must clearly show bud set and bud hardening following a dormancy induction regime in the nursery. The need for such early release treatments is expected on sites which are subject to the rapid development of herbaceous and shrub communities. Most annual and perennial weeds will be controlled or suppressed. Applications must be made after formation of final conifer resting buds. Applications made during period of active conifer growth may result in conifer injury. Avoid application during Lammas or late season conifer growth. Some autumn colours are acceptable provided no major leaf fall has occurred on undesirable brush and tree species. For conifer release, apply where conifers have been established for more than a year. Vegetation should not be disturbed immediately prior to treatment or until visual signs appear after treatment. Symptoms of treatment are slow to appear, especially in woody species treated in late fall. Injury may occur to conifers treated for release, especially where spray patterns overlap or the higher rates are applied or when applications are made during periods of active conifer growth. NOTE: This product is not recommended for use as an over-the-top broadcast spray in forest tree nurseries, or in Christmas tree plantations. Applications in such sites should be limited to directed sprays. DO NOT TREAT Christmas tree plantations in the year of anticipated harvest. Conifer Release by Directed Spraying Use this product to control herbaceous and woody species. Apply when the undesirable species are actively growing and the foliage is full and well-developed. This product does not provide pre-emergent weed control. Repeat treatments may be necessary to control weeds that generate from underground parts or seed. Undesirable deciduous species may be treated when they already have autumn colours, provided there has been no major leaf fall. For perennial broadleaf species, apply when most weeds have reached early head or early bud stage of growth. For annual and perennial grasses, apply when most weeds are 20 cm in height (3-4 leaf stage of growth). Direct spray so that the foliage of undesired vegetation is thoroughly wetted. Do not spray foliage to the point of run-off. Applying the product to conifers during their period of active growth (before lignification) may cause tree injury. Under such conditions, take the necessary precautions to ensure that spray, mist or spray drift does not come into contact with the foliage or green bark of conifers being cultivated. The product may be applied on sites regenerated by the following species (partial list): SPRUCE (Picea spp.), PINE (Pinus spp.), HEMLOCK (Tsuga spp.), DOUGLAS FIR (Pseudotsuga spp.). No time interval is required between tree planting and application of the product. See vegetation controlled, specific rates and application and mixing instructions elsewhere on this label. Do not allow spray to come in contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of non-target crops, since they may be killed or severely damaged. DECIDUOUS RELEASE Use this product to control herbaceous weeds and woody brush. Apply when the undesirable species are actively growing, and the foliage is well developed. This product has no pre-emergent activity. Repeat treatments may be required for species which regenerate from underground stems or from seeds.


Applications may be made to undesirable deciduous species with some autumn colours, provided that major leaf fall has not yet occurred. Use a directed spray to thoroughly cover the foliage of the undesirable vegetation. Take all necessary precautions to prevent contact of the spray, spray mist or spray drift with the foliage or green bark of desirable species. A partial list of species for use with this product on regenerated sites includes: ASH (Fraxinus spp.); WALNUT (Juglans spp); LINDEN or BASSWOOD (Tilia spp); CHERRY (Prunus spp.); OAK (Quercus spp); ELM (Ulmus spp) and POPLAR (Populus spp). Product may be applied immediately after transplanting. See use rates and application instructions elsewhere on this label.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, VP480 Herbicide is a Group 9 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to VP480 Herbicide and other Group 9 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance: • Where possible, rotate the use of VP480 Herbicide or other Group 9 herbicides within a growing


• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(S) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.

• Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.

• Monitor treated weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development. (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.

WATER QUALITYHARD WATER AND PH Hard water is classified by high concentrations of cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Na+, K+, AL3+ or Fe3+ (Table 1)1. Hard water can be problematic because these cations can bind to the herbicide causing a decrease in efficacy of the product2. Most research looking at herbicide antagonism with hard water has found Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+ and Fe3+ to be the most problematic. The pH of the water solution can also exaggerate the impact of hard water on the herbicide’s activity. Most post-applied herbicides are weak acids, meaning they have a pKa value less than 71.

If the pH of the water is greater than the pKa of the herbicide, the product has a greater chance to dissociate1. This results in the separation of the herbicide into negative ions, which can combine with the cations of the hard water, thereby reducing the efficacy of the product1,3. Addition of ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-24) (AMS) can reduce the interaction between hard water and herbicides because the sulfate binds with the positive ions in the hard water and the ammonium binds to the herbicide, which actually helps the product to penetrate the plant cell membrane1.

ALKALINITYSoft water can be high in bicarbonates (HC03) or carbonate (C03

2-), which can also interfere with some herbicides, similar to the hard water ions. When testing water for alkalinity, levels should be below 300 ppm1.

TURBID WATERTurbid water is a name used to describe a water source that has suspended particles which could include soil, organic matter, algae, salt or contamination from runoff. Pesticides have the potential to bind to these particles in the water source, tying up the active ingredient and decreasing the efficacy of the product. How well a chemistry binds to the sediment depends on their Koc* ratio, which is the soil organic carbon sorption coefficient1. A high Koc number means the product binds strongly to the particles – for example glyphosate at 24,000 mL/g,

where lower numbers like dicamba (2 mL/g) do not bind as strongly4. Aminopyralid and Picloram have relatively low Koc numbers, 10.8 and 16 mL/g, respectively4,5,6. However, Triclopyr has been known to adsorb tightly to soil, with a Koc value of 780 mL/g. Therefore, it is extra important to have clean water when applying Triclopyr.

Picloram 2.3

Triclopyr 2.7

Note: pKa (logKa) is an index to express acidity of soils – the smaller the value, the stronger the acid.

WHAT CAN BE DONE? • Ensure water source is free from sediment – any

amount of sediment can be problematic; if you visually see particles, consider a different water source.

• Perform a water analysis to determine suitability for herbicide applications (i.e., hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, etc.).

Some labs that can perform this analysis:

– Environmental Analytical Laboratory, Saskatchewan Research Council, 422 Downey Road, Saskatoon, SK Canada – src.sk.ca/analytical

– ALS Global – alsglobal.com has various labs across Canada that can perform well water testing.

• Some hard water/pH testers can be bought from local pool stores. These testers sometimes read hard water at 300 ppm whereas spraying hard water is considered 1,000 ppm or higher.

• Ideal water pH for these weak acid herbicides is around 5-7.

• If the pH is too high (over 8), consider a different water source.

• Hard water: Studies by Thomes et al. (1996) and Zollinger et al. (2010) found AMS could be added to Picloram and Aminopyralid to mitigate hard water impacts, although there has not been a rate identified specifically for these products.

– The recommended rates of AMS with glyphosate are 13: 1-2% w/w (i.e., 1-2 kg/100 L of water), or 2.5-5% v/v of a 400 g/L AMS solution

• If water is over 1,000 ppm and you are applying Aminopyralid or Picloram, consider adding AMS at 20.4 g/L.

• A jar test can be performed before putting any products in the spray tank to ensure they will not create any problems.

• Follow all label directions for tank mixes and adjuvants.

• For best results, Corteva Agriscience™ recommends using clean fresh water sources for spray solution. Using open bodies of water or poor quality water (sediment, hardness or high pH) as a source increases risk of having water issues.

SUMMARY• Picloram and Aminopyralid activity could be affected by hard water ions.

• Picloram and Aminopyralid can both be impacted by pH of water since it can cause them to break down into ions, allowing them to combine with hard water ions decreasing efficacy.

• Triclopyr formulated as an ester has the potential to bind to organic matter or sediment in the water and reduce efficacy.

* Koc (Soil Organic Carbon‑Water Partitioning) is a measurement of how well a chemistry binds to the sediment of the soil. The higher the number, the greater potential to bind.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Pollinators and Vegetative Management

What are pollinators?Pollinators include bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other animals that feed from flowers, transferring pollen in the process.1

Why does vegetation need to be managed?You may see workers performing maintenance in your community to control vegetation. Their purpose is to control unwanted vegetation that is creating a safety, health, occupational or environmental hazard. They may also be targeting invasive species whose growth and spread can negatively impact biodiversity.

Controlling these plant species allows natural species

to flourish and contributes to a safe and diverse environment for wildlife, pollinators, beneficial species and the public.

How is vegetation managed?Mowing and trimming are important parts of any right of way maintenance program; however, mechanical means alone do not provide long-term sustainable solutions for managing vegetation along right of ways. Mechanical control can reduce pollinator habitat, distribute weed seeds and cause some plant species to re-sprout rapidly resulting in increased stand.

Scientific assessmentsIn North America, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are used as a surrogate species for honeybees and native bees. All pesticides, including herbicides, undergo a risk assessment by Health Canada’s PMRA to determine potential toxicity to bees. Each product is assessed for oral and contact toxicity. Oral ingestion studies assess the potential for exposure when bees are foraging on flowering plants, and contact exposure studies assess direct contact with a spray application. None of Corteva Agriscience’s herbicides used in vegetation management have shown to be toxic to bees.

In addition, flying debris and cutting equipment can be dangerous to animals, wildlife, work crews and surrounding property. Mechanical control also needs to be repeated frequently in order to maintain the right of way.

Selective application of herbicides allows desirable species to flourish which increases biodiversity. It is less disruptive to the landscape and controls the entire plant so crews only need to visit the right of way for vegetation management once every two to four years.

2 Atkins, EL; Kellum, D; Atkins, KW. 1981. Reducing Pesticide Hazards to Honey Bees: Mortality Prediction Techniques and Integrated Management Techniques. University of California, Division of Agricultural Sciences, Leaflet 2883. 22 pp.

Integrated vegetation management programs use both mechanical and herbicide control strategies, and they are proven to be the safest, most cost-effective long-term vegetation management strategy.

Vegetation management and pollinatorsThe Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), a division of Health Canada, works with manufacturers to identify the safest use of their products relative to pollinators, and requires the appropriate label instructions for each product.

Reported declines in pollinator populations cannot be attributed to a single cause. For this reason it is important that pesticide manufacturers and applicators, beekeepers, and landowners all work

together to help protect pollinator health.

Do herbicides affect pollinators?Herbicides should not be confused with insecticides. Herbicides interrupt or modify a biological process within a plant leading to the plant being controlled. Insecticides usually target the nervous system of an insect, while herbicides target a specific pathway in plants. These target sites do not exist in pollinators, including bees. For this reason Corteva Agriscience™ Industrial Vegetation Management herbicides, when used according to the label, only affect the plants they are designed to control.

How do scientists measure the effect of pesticides on pollinators?Scientists use a measurement to determine the dose that harms 50 percent of the treated test bees. The measurement is described as “Lethal Dose 50” or “LD50.” To calculate the LD50, scientists conduct an experiment that consists of feeding or directly spraying bees with different concentrations of pesticide.

For example, the LD50 for ClearView™ herbicide is 100 µg/bee which is equivalent to applying 112 kilograms of active ingredient per hectare2, which

How are herbicides regulated and registered in Canada?Before a herbicide can be sold in Canada, it must be registered by the PMRA, a division of Health Canada. Pesticides are one of the most stringently regulated products in Canada. Health Canada-PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including biologists, chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists and entomologists, for the sole purpose of evaluating pesticides. Before a pesticide can be approved for use in Canada, the PMRA requires that it undergo a thorough scientific review and safety assessment to ensure it meets Health

PMRA classification of Corteva Agriscience IVM productsAs mentioned previously Health Canada’s PMRA conducts a science-based risk assessment on herbicides based on their LD50. An LD50 value that is equal to or greater than 11 µg/bee is not an irritant and is classified as “practically non-toxic”, which is the safest possible category by the PMRA for any given compound. The following Corteva Agriscience IVM products are classified in this category: Aspect™, ClearView, ClearView™ Brush, Garlon™ RTU, Garlon™ XRT, Lontrel™ XC, Milestone™, Sightline™, Tordon™ 22K and VP480.

is around 1,000 times higher than the ClearView application rate used to control weeds. An LD50 value that is equal to or greater than 11 µg/bee is considered “practically non-toxic,” and is the safest possible category as classified by the PMRA.

Products are registered at rates only high enough to control the target plant. Because these registered rates are much lower than the LD50 rates it would take to harm pollinators, they do not have a toxic effect on pollinators, even if they are present in the area when it is sprayed.

Canada’s standards. Only those products that meet these strict health and environmental standards can be registered by Health Canada-PMRA for use or sale in Canada. A herbicide product will not be registered in Canada unless a health and environmental assessment shows that no harm to human health and the environment will result from its use.

Registered products are re-evaluated regularly to ensure they continue to meet current high-level scientific safety standards. Health Canada also conducts regular investigations and inspections to ensure only registered products are used in Canada, and that they are used according to label directions.

What can applicators do to minimize potential pollinator exposure?Read and follow label directionsReading and following label directions minimizes error, maximizes environmental protection, and ensures compliance with laws and regulations. It also enables the applicator to be a good neighbor and good steward of the product they are using. Directions and guidelines for minimizing potential off-target application are noted on the labels of all relevant products. Using pesticides in violation of the label is against the law.

Use selective herbicidesSelective herbicides are formulated to control specific weeds or groups of weeds, reducing damage to non-target plants.2 Nonselective herbicides control a broad spectrum of weeds. With care, nonselective herbicides can be used selectively, minimizing the impact on the overall plant ecosystem.

Conduct inventoriesAn inventory of existing vegetation can identify emerging noxious and invasive weed issues. Early action can control outbreaks of problem plants before they spread.2 This allows applicators to treat target plants in the seedling or rosette stage prior to flowering.

Adjust application timingTo help reduce exposure to foraging bees, applications should be made when bees are not actively foraging. Bees typically forage from mid-morning to mid-day. They are also less active at cooler temperatures.3

Avoid application when weather conditions increase driftApply products when wind speeds are low.

approved for use in Canada, the PMRA requires that it undergo

a thorough scientific review and safety assessment to ensure it

meets Health Canada’s standards. Only those products that meet

these strict health and environmental standards can be registered

by the PMRA for use or sale in Canada. A herbicide product will

not be registered in Canada unless a health and environmental

assessment shows that no harm to human health and the

environment will result from its use.

What is included in the PMRA’s science-based risk assessment?

• An examination of all sources and routes (oral, dermal, inhalation)

of potential exposure to a given pesticide, including exposure

through diet, from drinking water and from contact with treated

areas like lawns and gardens

• An estimation of the amount of pesticides that people, including

children, may come in contact with, both during and after a

pesticide application

• A human health risk assessment with a particular focus on

vulnerable populations, including children; this considers the

potential for a pesticide to cause adverse health effects such

as cancer, birth defects and endocrine disruption, and allows

registration only for those pesticides with exposures well below

levels that cause adverse effects

• An assessment of the movement, persistence and transformation

(fate) of a pesticide in the environment

• An environmental risk assessment that considers risks to plants,

birds, mammals, beneficial insects, aquatic organisms as well

as fate in the environment

• A value assessment that considers the contribution of the

product to pest management, as well as its health, safety

and environmental benefits, and social and economic impact1




inspections to ensure only registered products are used in Canada

and that they are used according to label directions.

Why control all of the vegetation?

Safety is the major reason for controlling all of the vegetation

on industrial sites. TVC is important for ground fault protection

on electrical facility sites, fire prevention, and allows for visibility.

Control of all vegetation on oil/gas sites and rail lines is critical

for fire prevention, worker safety, visibility and accessibility. TVC

is also important on rail lines as it improves drainage; vegetation

holds water around railway ties causing them to rot – this increases

the chance of derailment accidents and increases the cost

of maintenance.

Why use herbicides? Can’t you just cut the vegetation?

Herbicides are an important tool in an effective TVC program.

Mowing and trimming are important parts of any maintenance

program, but mechanical means alone do not provide a long-

term sustainable solution for managing vegetation on TVC sites.

Incorporating the use of herbicides

into a long-term, sustainable vegetation management plan

can increase profitability.

How do herbicides work?

Herbicides interrupt or modify a biological process within the plant

that leads to the plant being controlled. There are many different

biological pathways within a plant and they can vary between

species. These pathways do not exist in other organisms, including

humans and animals. For this reason herbicides, when used

according to the label, only affect the plants they are designed

to control.

Who regulates the registration of herbicides in Canada?

Health Canada.

Pesticides are one of the most stringently regulated products

in Canada. The PMRA employs over 350 scientists, including

biologists, chemists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, plant

TOTAL VEGETATION CONTROL (TVC) TANK MIXESThe herbicide components of a TVC treatment usually consist

of one or more broadleaf weed control products, and grass

control products. These products can have pre-emergent activity

or post-emergent activity. Pre-emergent herbicides generally

prevent the establishment of vegetation from seed for the entire

growing season, and remain near the soil surface. Post-emergent

herbicides are effective at controlling actively growing vegetation

that is present at the time of application.

Benefit of using season-long control products

Using products that provide season-long control of grasses

and broadleaf weeds prevents the need for multiple applications

and visits back to TVC sites. There can be both financial and safety

benefits to using season-long control products; site owners pay for

only one application per year, and from a safety perspective site

owners only have outside workers on those sites once per year.

Broadleaf weed control options

Milestone™ herbicide delivers control of invasive broadleaf weed

species with low use rates and tank-mix flexibility.

ClearView™ herbicide is the industry standard selective herbicide,

delivering consistent, high-performing, extended

broadleaf weed control with flexible rates.

Sightline™ herbicide delivers effective post-emergent control

of broadleaf weeds, including ALS and glyphosate

resistant kochia.

What tank mixes are supported by Corteva Agriscience™ for applications with Milestone, ClearView and Sightline?

Many different tank mixes with Milestone, ClearView and Sightline

for non-cropland and bareground (TVC) uses are supported

by Corteva Agriscience™. Some of these are labelled tank mixes,

and others are unlabelled tank mixes, but are supported by

Corteva Agriscience under the Pest Management Regulatory

Agency (PMRA) tank mix policy. If you are unsure if products should

be tank mixed, contact your Corteva Agriscience representative.

What is the PMRA tank mix policy?

The PMRA has established a position related to unlabelled tank mix

use of commercial pest control products used in crop production,

disease or vegetation management. Based on the position and

guidelines established by the PMRA, application of UNLABELLED

tank mixes is permitted provided the commercial pest control

products are registered and applied within their registered use

pattern (i.e., application rate, application timing to crops, weed

stages, rotational guidelines, number of applications per season,

pre-harvest intervals, pest claims, etc.).

Conditions users of unlabelled tank mixes must follow

1. Each tank mix partner is registered for use in Canada on the

crop of interest.

2. The most restrictive label and use precautions are followed

in compliance with label directions.

3. Where required specifically by one of the tank mix partners,

the tank mix includes an adjuvant at the recommended level.

If an adjuvant is not required on the label of any tank mix

partner, then no adjuvant may be added to the tank mix.

4. The application timings of tank mix partners are compatible

as related to crop and pest staging in addition to

recommended loading, mixing and most complete tank-

cleanout directions.

5. Each tank mix partner is applied in accordance with

its registered product label, considering Use Directions,

Precautions, Buffer Zones and Resistance Management

recommendations. In cases where information on the tank mix

partner label differs, the most restrictive directions must be

followed.

6. The tank mix combination is a management tool for increased

pest control, assists integrated pest management practice,

allows for rotation of herbicide groups, saves time and is of

value to commercial farm operations.
