SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS Non-target spray drift 01 Command 4 E "'her..-lrbicldei,;.·';'· IA should be avoided to prevent whiIefWIg of desirable vegetation. Drill is infIuencad by many factors which inciIde wind speed, spray pressure, particle size, nozzle type, and boom height

• Do not ~ when weather conditior IS ra- drift. N wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour, a drift reducing additive must be used.

• A minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per a.::re is rec:ommer KIed wRh appropriate nozzle types and sizes thet produce c:oarMr sprays.

• The use of agriculturally 8IlIl«IV8d drift reducing additives is rec0m­mended for application volumes of 15 to 40 gallons per acre when spraying in the proximity of deslrabIe pI&nts (see list above).

• The use of an riculturally approved drift reducing additive is required aI ~ spray volumes of 10 to 15 gallons per acre.

• Use minimum nozzle prAssure and boom height while maintaining uniform =ranern.

• Do not e 40 psi spray pressure. • Selection and proper use of spray equipment is critical in minimizing

spray drift. The following table suggests pressures, flow rates, and nozzle sizes for drill reduction using various nozzle types.

ROTATIONAL CROPPING PRECAUTIONS: Under some cortditiorlS, temporary whRening or yellowing of leaves may occur on 8IlPIUV8d rotational crops where undesireble soif residues of Command 4'f! exist.

Under abnormal conditions. carryover injury to rotational crops can occur. The IoIowlllg factors can contribute to Increased risk of Injury ID rotational crops: 11 exceeding label recommended rates. 2 Overappllcation resulting from use of worn nozzles, excessive over­

lapping 01 spray swaths, failing 10 shut off spray booms when IUming (end row araas), or slowing or stopping sprayer. 31 Soil with pH less than or equal 10 5:9. -

4 Extreme dryness in the four months following application. 5) Use of organophosphate soil Insacticides follOWed by use of some

postemergence corn herbicides. 6) Choice of rotational crop hybrid.

Addilional racomrnendations 10 prevent rotalional crop injury mey be provided in the form of service bulletins for Iocalions where risk of injury IS significanlfy increased due 10 extremely dry conditions.

Refer to Rot.tl ...... Guidelines .nd repl.ntlng Instructions of S\»­cltlc crop. for additional crop planting Information,

SPECIAL PRECAUTION , Off·site movement of spray drift or vapors of Command 4 E her­bicide can cause foliar whRening or yellowing of some plants. Prior 10 making a~tions, read and strictly follow an precau­tions and application Instruc:lioM on this label.

) SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR DRY BuLK FERnLlZER IMPREGNATION AND APPLlCAnON WITH COMMAND 4 E _ An equipment used to apply Command should be thoroughly cleaned

immediately following use to ensure no contamination results which could cause injury to non·labeled crops or desirable vegetation. Refer to "Sprayer Cleanup" section for additional details and disposel of rinsates.

• Equipment used to physically transport Command treated fertilizer, including bOOts, augers, conveyers, bins, etc. should be covered to prevent loss 0/ fine partldes and subjected to cleanup procedures previously dncribed.

• MixIng of COIMWId hhetllllrbicidebici<'101 and dry fertilizer should be conducted in a bTender which wilf ensure that airborne particles and potential for volatilization are avoided.

_ auo. containers should be lighlly covered while the product is being transported and applied to reduce chances 0/ Command vofatllizatlon or product loss.

_ II is recommended that Dry Bulk Fertilizer impregnation operations using Command not be conducted within 'to mile of residential areas or 8I8as where Command symptornclogy on desirable vegetation would not be toterated.

Command 4 B herbicide may be applied to the soil surface where permitted (see General Application precautions, Geographical Restrictions) alone, or in combination with other soil residual preemergenc~ herbicides registered for use in conservation tillage soybeans. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, include a burndown herbicide to control or suppress existing weeds. Observe all application precautions, rate restrictions, rotational guidelines and replanting instructi<)ns of each product's label when using tank mixes.

BAR~,Y PRBPLANT (BPP) APPLICATIONS

Where soil incorporated applications are required (see General Application precautions, Geographical Restrictions), Command 4 E herbicide may be surface applied undE conservation tillage practices, but only as an early preplant (BPP) treataent. BPP applications of Command 4 B must be made prior to field green-up (i.e., the time at which annual weeds are emerging at the treatment site, and trees or shrubs bordering the treatment site have broken dormancy and are showing green leaf tissue) and no later than the dates listed in the table below:

DRILL 'N DRAG APPLICATIONS

For conservation tillage use of Command 48 herbicide where soil incorporated applications are required, and the timing for EPP treatments has passed, Command 4 E may be applied using no-till drills capable of incorporating Command 4 E (i.e., "Drill 'N Drag"TN type equipment) . The following conditions apply:

1) Drills which result in incorporation, including Great PlainsR Drills, TyeR Drills and CrustbusterR Drills which are equi~ped with fluted or rippled coulters and spring tines or harrows may be used. John DeereR Drills may be used but must employ spring t~nes or the equivalent to enhance incorporation. Drills should be operated at speeds greater than 6 mph to ensure enough soil is moved to incorporate Command 4 B. Other minimum-till/no-till drill equipment may be used for "Drill and Drag" application of Command 4 B herbicide as long ~s their operation results in soil mixing.

2) Whel. utilizing the "Drill and Drag" technique DO NOT APPLY C~d 4 E herbicide within 1,000 feet of subdivisions and towns, commercial vegetable production (except sweet corn) commercial fruit production, comme~cial nurseries and commercial greenhouses. (;a.ution must be tak&n to minimize spray drift as off-site moven:ent of CamIaIld herbicide can cause foliar whitening or yellowing of some plants (refer to plant listing, and Spray Drift Precautions under th& General Application Precautions section of this label) .

3) Where soybean planting and Command 4 E application using the "Drill and Drag" technique is not a one-pass operation, drilling of soybean seeds must occur immediately after Command 4 E application on wet soils and within 8 hours on dry soils.

4) All other cautions and precautionary statements (sprayer cleanup, use rates, rotational cropping precautions and restrictions, etc.) on the Command 4 E label must be followed.
