5.0 - PRODUCT INFORMATION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This product is a post -emergent, systemic herbicide with no soil residual activity. It is generally non -selective and gives broad-spectrum control of many annual weeds, perennial weeds, woody brush and trees. It is formulated as a water-soluble liquid. No additional surfactants, additives containing surfactant, buffering agents or pH adjusting agents are needed or recommended. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field -type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water or other carriers according to label instructions. TIME TO SYMPTOMS: This product 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 for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of aboveground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. STAGE OF WEEDS: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small. Best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. Refer to the annual, perennial, woody brush and trees rate tables for recommendations for specific weeds. Always use the higher rate of this product per acre 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. CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS: Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended stage for treatment. RAINFASTNESS: Heavy rainfall soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage and a repeat application may be required for adequate control. SPRAY COVERAGE: For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff. MODE OF ACTION: The active ingredient in this product inhibits an enzyme found only in plants that is essential to formation of specific amino acids. NO SOIL ACTIVITY: Weeds must be emerged at the time of application to be controlled by this product. Weeds germinating from seed after application will not be controlled. Unemerged plants arising from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the herbicide and will continue to grow. BIOLOGICAL DEGRADATION: Degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil microbes. TANK MIXING: 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. Use according to the most restrictive label directions for each product in the mixture. Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly recommended in this label. Mixing this product with herbicides or other materials not recommended on this label may result in reduced performance. ANNUAL MAXIMUM USE RATE: Except as otherwise specified in a food crop section of this label, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 8 quarts of this product per acre per year. For non-food/non-crop uses, the combined total of all treatments must not exceed 10.6 quarts of this product per acre per year. The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing glyphosate or sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether applied as mixtures or separately. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other glyphosate- or sulfosate-containing products does not exceed stated maximum use rate. NOTE: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this label may result in injury to persons, animals or crops, or other unintended consequences. Keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination. 6.0 - WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Glyphosate, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 9 herbicide. Target site resistance to Group 9 herbicides is rare. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 9 herbicides. Weed species resistant to Group 9 herbicides may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group or using other cultural practices or mechanical practices. 6.1 - WEED MANAGEMENT DIRECTIONS To minimize the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant biotypes, observe the following general weed management recommendations: • Scout your fields before and after herbicide applications. • Start with a clean field, use either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small. • Add other herbicides (e.g., a selective and/or a residual herbicide) and cultural practices (e.g., tillage or crop roatation) where appropriate. • One method of adding other herbicides into a continuous Roundup Ready system is to rotate to other Roundup Ready crops. • Utilize the recommended label rate for the most difficult to control weed in your field. Avoid tank mixtures with other herbicides that reduce this product's efficacy (through antagonism), or tank mixture recommendations that encourage application rates of this product below the label recommendations. • Control weed escapes and prevent weeds from setting seeds. • Clean equipment before moving from field to field to minimize the spread of weed seed or plant parts. • Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible. • Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your Albaugh, Inc. representative, local retailer, or County Extension agent.
