restrictive reentry intervals; consult your State Department of Agriculture for further information. 

SPRAY DRtFT INFORMATION 

Avoiolng spray drift at the appication site is the responsibirlty of the apprlcator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors 

determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower 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 to agricultural field 

crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applicafions, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 

I. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 314 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

2, Nozzles must always (Xlint backward paralel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45", 

Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information, 

Aerial Drift Reduction AdviSOry Information 

(This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.) 

tnfonnation on DroptetSize 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best dnft management stralegy is to apply the largest droplets 

that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made 

improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature tnversions), 

Controlling Droplet Size 

• Volume--Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets, 

• Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger 

droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure, 

• Number of nozzles-Use the minimum numberof nozzles that provide unHorm coverage. 

• Nozzle Onentation-Onenting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations 

and is the recommended practice. Significant defiection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potenlial. 

• Nozzle Type--Use a nozzle type that is deSigned for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger 

droplets, Consider using low-drift nozzles, Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and Ihe lowest dnft. 

Boom Length 

For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 314 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without 

reducing swath width, 

3 

29
Application Height 

Applications must not be made at a heght greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft 

safety. Making application at the lowest height that rs safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be drsplaced downwind, Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, 

the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind, Swath adjustment distance must increase 

with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.), 

Wind 

Drift potential rs lowest between wind speeds of 2-to mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift 

potential at any given speed. Application must be avoided below 2 mph due to van able wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: 

Local terrain can infiuence wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind pattems and how they affect spray drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet 

evaporation is most severe when condttions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, 

which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light 

variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common 

on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence 

can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground 

source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke !hat layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known 

habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas),

Mode of Action: HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide that rs rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue. Once absorbed the active Ingredient 

inleracts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides that destroy the plant celts. HELM QUAT 3SL must be applied to green plant 

tissue to be effective, therefore, excellent and complete coverage of all green foliage is necessary for effective weed control and effective leaf 

drop, desiccation and defoliation, Activlty of HELMQUAT 3SL is reduced when it is applied to drought stressed weeds, weeds with little green 

foliage or to the mature woody bark of trees and vines. HELMQUAT 3SL is tied up rapidly by clay soils and organic matter so ~ has no residual 

soil activity. 

Spectrum of Activity: As a contact herbicide, HELMQUAT 3SL will control most small broadleaf and grass weeds, as well as suppress 

perennial weeds through the destruction of green foliage. HELMQUAT 3SL can also be used at harvest as a desiccant or defoliant. 

Best weed controlls achieved when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied to emerged weeds that are still small (1 to 6 inches tall). Larger weeds are 

more difficult to control. Altow weeds that have been grazed or mowed to grow to 2 to 4 inches tall before applying HELMQUAT 3SL Also, 

duling harvesting of forage or grain crops before spraying, weeds presenl in the field are atso cut. Therefore, raise cutter bars as high as 

possible from the ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height alowing sufficient greenfol'lage to rema'in for appncafions, 

When HELMQUAT 3SL is used for control of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, application should be made prior to tiIIering or after the 

boot stage especially with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheat. Application of HELMQUAT 3SL between tillering and the boot stage may not 

provide acceptable control. HELMQUAT 3SL will not provide complete control of perennial cover crops. 

Replanting: RotatiOllal crops may be planted after the last application of HELMQUAT 3SL. Since HELMQUAT 3SL has no soil activity, crops 

planted after the last application are not affected. 

Spray Adjuvants: It Is important to always add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (C~C) w~h HELMQUAT 3SL Otherwise, 

reduced activity of HELMQUAT 3SL will result. 

For ground applications use a NlS containing 75% or more active ingredienl at 0,125% v/v (1 pUl00 gats), OR use a NIS containing 50-74% 

active ingredient at 0.25% vfv (2 pts'/100 gats,) of finished spray volume. If a COC is used, select a nonphytotoxic COC containing 15-20% 

approved emulsifier at 1.0% v/V (1 gal.{100 gals) of finished spray volume. A CDC should not be used with HELMQUAT 3SL when it is applied 

as a cotton harvest aid. 

For aerial applications, use a NIS at 0.25% v/v (2 pts./toO gals) of the finished spray volume, Or, use a CDC at 1 pint per acre. A COC should 

not be used with HELMQUAT 3SL when it is applied as a cotton harvest aid. 

Weather Considerations: Although HELMQUAT 3SL ls effective under most environmental conditions, some conditions such as cool weather 

(below 55" F), cloudy or overcast weather viill slow its actlv~y. HELMQUAT 3SL is rapidly absorbed by plant foliage and becomes rainfast soon 

after application. If rain comes 30 minutes or more after application, activ'lty of HELMQUAT 3SL w'llI not be affected. 

Dosage: Specific application rates for HELMQUAT 3SL are provided below under APPLICATiON INSTRUCTIONS. Always follOW the speCified 

rates listed for each use. Higher label rales should be used to control or suppress large or dense weeds. Also, when using HELMQUAT 3SL as 

a harvest aid, use the higher label rates when crop vegetation is dense. For broadcast application with backpack sprayers, do not exceed more 

4 

30
than 0.50 Ib auA in a minimum of 30 gallons of spray solution per acre. 

Application: Thorough coverage of target weeds is critical for good weed control since HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide. Thorough 

coverage is also criticat for good crop desiccation and defoliation. Unacceptable weed control, desiccation or defoliation will result from poor 

coverage and application to large, stressed or mown weeds. SpecifIC application i.nstnJctions are provided below. 

Spray volume varies with different uses. Always follow the spray volume instructions provided in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Only 

minimum spray volumes are provided. Increase spray volumes to 'r!sure thorough coverage of target weeds or plants without runoff from the 

foliage. If a spray volume of 20 gallons ot spray carrier per acre is used, target weeds should not exceed 6 inches tall. 

Spray carrier selection is very important to maximize effectiveness of HELMQUAT 3SL. Always use clean water (no mud or clay), clear tiquk! 

nitrogen, or complete clear liquid fertilizers with HELMQUAT 3SL. Fertilizers or water containing clay can inactivate HELMQUAT 3SL. It is 

important, therefore, to never use muddy water or suspension type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. Use the higher rate of 

HELMQUAT 3SL and surfactant when the spray carrier is a clear liquid tertilizer containing high levels of phosphate. Always use a nonion'lc 

surfactant when using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfac!ant. 

Nozzle selection is very important when making applications of HELMQUAT 3SL. Flat·fan nozzles provide the most effective application, 

whereas flood nozzles are usually not as good because they produce large uneven droplets. Inadequate coverage and reduced weed confrol 

can occur if flood nozzles are used. Only use fiat-fan nozzles if the spray carrier is less than 20 gallons per acre. Information on nozzles, 

pressures and setup are shown in the table below. 

CHEMIGATION STATEMENT: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

When HELMQUAT 3SL is applied at less than 10 gallons of finished spray volume per acre, a drift control or spray deposition additive should 

be used. Refer!o the additive label for use directions.

Tank Mixing for Improved Bumdown of Difficult Weeds and Residual Weed ContrO!: HELMQUAT 3SL can be tank mixed with cerlain 

other herbicides in order to obtain greater control of hard to control weeds. Best control is obtained when other photosynthetic inhibitor (PSI) 

herbicides are added with HELMQUAT 3SL. These herbicides will cause the activity of HELMQUAT 3SL to be slower, thus allowing ~ more 

time to distribute throughout the treated leaf. Weed control will generally be greater than when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied alone. 

The following PSI herbicides may be tank mixed with HELMQUAT 3SL: AAtrex® Herbicide or other atrazine-r:ontaining products; Bleep 

MAGNUM® Herb'lCide; B'lCep Lite II MAGNUM® Herbicide; Canopy@ Herbicide; Lariat® Herb'lcide; Lexone® Herbicide; Linex® Herbicide; 

Lorox® Herbicides; Lorox Plus® Herbicide; MANA Parallel T"' Herbicide; MANA Parallel 1M Plus Herbicide; MANA Parallel TM pCS Herbicide; 

PrincepAl Herbicide; Sencor® Herbicide or other metribuzin-containing products; and Triangle 'r" Herbicide. Be sure to read the respective 

product label(s} for rates of application, directions for use, limitations, precautions, and for a list of weeds controlled. 

Control of the following difficult to control broadleaf and grassy weeds will be enhanced by the addition of a PSI herbicide with HELMQUAT 

3SL: barnyardgrass, broad leaf signalgrass, cheatgrass, cocklebur, fall panicum, giant ragweed, knotweed, kochia, tambsquarters, malva 

(dleeseweed), maresta'j, momingglory, Pennsylvania smartweed, perennial weeds (suppression only), pr'lckly lettuce, sedges, tansymustard, 

velvelleaf and volunteer wheat. For best results, make a second application. 

tmproved control of perennial broad leaf weeds such as Canada thislle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or difficu~ to control annual broadleaf weeds 

such as giant r<gwtled or morningglory will result when HELMQUAT 3SL is tank mixed with 2,4-0 ester (low volatile), 2,4·0B, or Banvel® 

Herbicide. Reduced grass control may resun if the amine formulation of 2,4·0 is applied as a tank mix with HELMQUAT 3SL. 

Mixing Order; When tank mixing other products with HELMQUAT 3SL the following order should be followed: (t) fill spray tank 112 full with 

clean water or other approved carriers as discussed above; (2) begin tank agitation and continue agitation throughout the mixing and spraying 

operations; (3) add dry formutations (WP, OF, WOG, etc.) to the tank; (4) add liquid fOmlulations (SC, EC, L, F, etc.) to the tank; (5) add 

HELMQUAT 3SL to the tank: (6) add spray surfactant to the tank; and (7) fill the remainder of the spray tank. Carefully read the labels of other 

pestiCide products for mixing directions and precautions that may be different. Physical compatib~ity of any tank mix combination of 

HELMQUAT 3SL with other herbicides should be checked by performing a jar test.

PRODUCT PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTtONS 

Equipment: Since HELMQUAT 3SL is corrosive to aluminum, all aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures exposed to spray 

solution or spray drift should be flushed with water immediately after use. 

Dusty Leaf Surfaces: If weed or plant leaves are extremely dusty (due fo high winds, equipment tires, etc.), activity of HELMQUAT 3SL can be 

reduced. Avoid applying HELMQUAT 3SL in extremely dusty conditions. 

Umitations and Precautions: 

1. Do not graze livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage in colton when using HELMQUAT 3SL for a cotton harvest aid. 

2. Use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or play grounds is PROHIBtTED. 

3, Do nof apply to soils lacking clay, i.e., peat, muck, pure sand and artificial planting media if using HELMQUAT 3SL in preplanf or 

preemergence (to the crop) uses, 

4. Prepare seedbeds and plantbeds well ahead of planting and treatment to permit maximum weed and grass emergence prior to treatment 

5. Do not disfurb the soil any more than necessary during seeding or transplanting. 

6. Use caution when apply'lng HELMQUAT 3SL for preplant weed conlrol over the top of plastic mulch. Transplants may be damaged if they 

come in contact with treated plastic mulch. Sprinkler irrigation or rainfall may be needed to wash off the herbicide from the pastic to prevent 

damage to the crop. 

7. HELMQUAT 3SL will not control or suppress broad leaf or grassy weeds that emerge after treatment. 

8. Unless otherwtse indicated crop plants that are emerged at the time of application and contacted by sprays of HELMOUA T 3SL will be 

injured or killed.

RESIN SOAKtNG: Pines (Loblolly, Shortleaf, Longleaf, Slash, Virginia, Pond, Pitch, Spruce Pines) 

Tree Selection-8elect trees to be treated from stands on sites not sublect to periods of extreme drought stress as the desiccating effect of 

HELMQUAT 3SL to pines is accentuated during such periods, causing a reduction in the amount of oleoresin deposited in the xylem. Select 

trees to be treated from vigorous, nonstagnated stands, either natural or planted. In stagnated stands or commercial timber stands, plan 

treating with HELMQUAT 3Sl not sooner than three years after a commercial thinning. 

Application Directions-Apply HElMQUAT 3SL diluted in water to a suitable wound in the tree trunk to bring the treatment into contact with 

the xylem (sapwood). 

Bark Streaks or Cuts-This type of wound is made using a standard or rotary bark hack or a chainsaw chipping tool (employed in naval stores 

work) 10 remove a single 1" wide streak of bark about 1-2 ft. from ground level. The total length should not exceed 1/3 of the tree 

circumference. Muttiple streaks or cuts can result in serious girdling of the trunk and premature death of the tree. A coarse spray (about 1.75.0 

ml) of HElMQUAT 3SL solution (1-5% cation; wt.lwt. basis) should be applied to runoff to the exposed xylem, using a low-pressure sprayer. 

The amount of spray required per cut depends on tree circumference and the length of cut or streak. For a 9" diameter tree, 3 ml. of spray will 

cover the l' wide streak. Using 3 ml. of a 2 or 4% HElMQUAT 3SL solution will result in application of 60 or 120 mg. of HElMQUAT 3Sl per 

streak. 

TIme of Treatment-Resin soaking can occur from treatments made any time of the year; however, cool season treatments under nondrought 

conditions usually result in less severe pine beetle-infestations and longer tree life. 

Intervat Between Treatment and Tree Harvest-The interval between application of HELMQUAT 3Sl and tree harvest should be a minimum 

of 6 months and preferably from 12-24 months. Intervals of over 6 months may not be possible under conditions of drought or serious pine 

beetle attacks, which may make early harvest necessary. The HElMQUAT 3Sl treatment may encourage beette attack or may cause 

premature death of the tree. Desiccation of the xylem trssue rather than the desired resin soaking may occur, and is more likely al hiJher 

dosage rates. 

Effect on Stem Growth·HElMQUAT 3SL treatment can result in reduced stem grov.1h duri~ the interval between treatment and tree harvest.

Keep all unprotected persons out ot operating areas or vicinity where there may be danger of drift. Certain states may require more 

restrictive reentry intervals; consult your State Department of Agriculture for further information. 

SPRAY DRIFT INFORMATtON 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors 

determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower 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 to agricutiural field 

crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 

t. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the bOom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel wilh the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45", 

Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.

c-AeDa! Drift ReduclionAdvisory Information 

(Jhi§;sectiaifis1ldvlsory in nature andcroes-noHa!pelSroe tbe ma~nts.) 

Information on Droptet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets, The best drift management strategy is to apply the lalgest droplets 

that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made 

'Improperly, or under unfavorable environmental oond'ttions (see Wmd, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature tnverslons). 

Controlling Droptet Size 

• Volume-Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

• Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacture~s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger 

droplets, When higher flow rates are needed, use higher fiow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 

, Number of nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 

• Nozzle Orientation-Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations 

and is the recommended practice. Signiticoot deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential, 

• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type that is desi!JIed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger 

droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 

Boom Length 

For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without 

reducing swath width. 

3 

55
Application Height 

Applications must not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft 

safety. Making application at the lowest he~ht that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When ~plications are made with a crosswind, the swath win be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, 

the applicator must compensate for this displocement by adiUsting the path of the aircraft upwind. SWath adiUstment distance must increase 

with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).

Drift potentia', is lowest between w'lnd speeds r:l2-10 mpfl. However, many factors, inc',uding droplet size and equipment type determine drift 

potential at any given speed. Application must be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: 

Local terrain can influence wind pattems. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

When making applications in low relative humidity. set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet 

evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature tnversions 

Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, 

which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This dow can move in unpred'ldrole d'lrections due to the light 

variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common 

on nights with limited cloud cover and lighlto no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the moming. Their presence 

can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground 

source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves lateraTIy in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adiacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known 

habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 

PRODUCT lNSTRUCTtONS AND tNFORMAT10N 

Formulation: The HELMQUAT 3SL tormulation contains 3 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. It has a strong nontoxic odor and contains 

an emetic which will cause vomiting if the product is accidentaHy swallowed. The strong odor is intentionally part of the formulation to help 

prevent accidental ingestion of HELMQUAT 3SL. 

Mode of Action: HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue. Once absorbed the active ingredient 

interacts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides that destroy the plant cells. HELMQUAT 3SL must be applied to green plant 

tissue to be effective, therefore, excellent and complete coverage of aH green foliage is necessary for effective weed control and effective leaf 

drop, desiccation and defOliation. Activity of HELMQUAT 3SL is reduced when it is app',ied to drou~t stressed weeds, weeds with flUle green foliage or to the mature woody bark of trees and vines. HELMQUAT 3SL is tied up rapidly by clay soils and organic matter so it has no residual 

soil activity. 

Spectrum of ActIvity: As a contact herbicide, HELMQUAT 3SL will control most small broadleaf and grass weeds, as well as suppress 

perennial weeds through the destruction of green foliage. HELMQUAT 3SL can also be used at harvest as a desiccant or defoliant. 

Best weed control is achieved when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied to emerged weeds that are still small (t to 6 inches tall). Larger weeds are 

more drrticu~ to contro\. Allow weeds that have been grazed or mowed to grow to 2 to 4 inches tall before applying HELMQUAT 3SL. Also, 

during harvesting of forage or grain crops before spraying, weeds present in the field are also cut. Therefore, raise cutter bars as high as 

possib',e from the ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height allOwing sufficient green foliage to remain for applications. 

When HELMQUAT 3SL is used for control of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, application should be made prior to tillering or after the 

boot stage especiaHy with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheat. Application of HELMQUAT 3SL between tillering and the boot stage may not 

provide acceptable control. HElMQUAT 3SL wi1\ not provide complete control of perennial cover crops. 

Reptanting: Rotational crops may be planted after the last application of HELMQUAT 3SL. Since HELMQUAT 3SL has no soil activity, crops 

planted after the last applICation are not affected. 

Spray Adjuvants: \I is important to always add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) with HELMQUAT 3SL. Otherwise, 

reduced activity of HELMQUAT 3SL will result. 

For ground applications, use a NIS containing 75% or more active ingredient at O. t25% vlv (1 pl./100 galS), OR use a NIS containing 50-74% 

active ingredient at 0.25% v/v (2 pts.l100 gals.) of finished spray volume. If a COC is used, select a nonphytotoxic COC containing 15-20% 

approved emulsifier at 1.0% v/v (t ga\.ltOO gals) of finished spray volume. A COC should not be used with HELMQUAT 3SL when it is applied 

as a cotton harvest aid. 

For aerial applications, use a NIS at 0.25% v/v (2 pts'/100 gals) of the finished spray volume. Or, use a COC at t pint per acre. A COC should 

not be used with HELMQUAT 3SL when it is applied as a colton harvest aid. 

Weather Considerations: Although HELMQUAT 3Sl is effective under most environmEJ1tal conditions, some conditions such as cool weather 

(below 55' F), cloudy or overcast weather will slow its activity. HELMQUAT 3SL is rapidly absorbed by plant foliage and becomes rainfast soon 

after application. tf rain comes 30 minutes or more after application, activity of HELM QUAT 3SL will not be affected. 

Dosage: SpeCific application rates for HELMQUAT 3SL are provided below under APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Always follow the specified 

rates listed for each use. Higher label rates should be used to control or suppress large or dense weeds. Also, when using HELMQUAT 3SL as 

a harvest aid, use the higher label rates when crop vegetation is dense. For broadcast application with backpack sprayers, do not exceed more 

4

, 

I 

than 0.50 ib aliA in a minimum of 30 gallons of spray solution per acre, 

Application: Thorough coverage of target weeds is critical for good weed control since HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide. Thorough 

coverage is also critical for good crop desiccation and defoliation. Unacceptable weed control, desiccation or defoliation will result from poor 

coverafle and application to large, stressed or mown weeds. SpeCific application instructions are provided below. 

Soray volume varies with different uses. Always follow the spray volume instructions provided in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Only 

minimum spray volumes are provided. Increase spray volumes to insure thorough coverage of target weeds or plants without runoff from the 

foliage. If a spray volume of 20 gallons of spray carrier per acre is used, target weeds should not exceed 6 inches tall. 

Spray carrier selection is very important to maximize effectiveness of HELMQUAT 3SL. Always use dean water (no mud or clay), clear liquid 

nitrogen, or comptete dear IiqJid fertilizers with HELMQUAT 3SL, Fer1llzers or water conta'ining day can inacflvate HELMQUAT 3SL. It is 

important, therefore, to never use muddy water or suspension type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. Use the higher rate of 

HELMQUAT 3SL and surfactant when the spray carrier is a clear liquid fertilizer containing high levelS of phosphate. Always use a nonionic 

surfactant when using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant. 

Nozzle selection is very important when making applications of HELMQUAT 3SL. Flat-fan nozzles provide the most effective application, 

whereas flood nozzles are usually not as good because they produce large uneven droplets. Inadequate coverage and reduced weed control 

can occur if fiood nozzles are used. Only use fiat-fan nozzles [f the spray carrier is less than 20 gallons per acre. Information on nozzles, 

pressures and setup are shown in the table below. 

CHEMIGATION STATEMENT: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

When HELMQUAT 3SL is applied at less than 10 gallons of finished spray volume per acre, a drift control or spray deposition additive should 

De used. Refer to the additive label for use directionS.

3 pints 213 fluid ounce 

Always add fl3 to 112 fI oz of NIS to each gallon of spray. DUring the spot spraying operalion, spray plants thoroughly In order to wet the 

foliage, but not to the point of runoff. 

Tank Mixing for tmproved Bumdown of Difficult Weeds and Residuat Weed Control: HELMQUAT 3SL can De tank mixed with certain 

other herbicides in order to obtain greater control of hard to control weeds. Best control is obtained when other photosynthetic inhibitor (PSI) 

herbicides are added with HELMQUAT 3SL. These herbicides will cause the activity of HELMQUAT 3SL to be slower, thus allowing it more 

time to distribute throughout the treated leaf. Weed control will generally De greater than when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied alone. 

The following PSI herbicides may be tank mixed with HELMQUAT 3SL: AAtrex® Herbicide or other atrazine-containing products; Bleep 

MAGNUM® Herbicide; Bicep Lite II MAGNUM® Herbicide; Canopy@ Herbicide; Lariat® Herbicide; Lexone® Herbicide; Unex® Herbicide; 

LoroX® Herbicides; Lorox PluS® Herbicide; MANA Parallel T" Herbicide; MANA Parallel TM Plus Herbicide; MANA Parallel TM PCS Herbicide; 

Princep® Herbicide', Sencor@ HertJic"lde or other metribuz'm-containing products; and Triangle 't" Herbicide. Be sure to read the respective 

product label(s) for rates of application, directions for use,limitations, precautions, and for a list of weeds controlled. 

Control of the following difficult to control broadleaf and grassy weeds will be enhanced by the addition of a PSI herbicjde with HELMQUAT 

3SL: barnyardgrass, broadleaf signal grass, cheatgrass, cocklebur, fall panicum, giant ragweed, knotweed, kochia, lambsquarters, malva 

(cheeseweed), marestail, momingglory, Pennsylvania smartweed, perennial weeds (suppression only), prickly lettuce, sedges, tansymustard, 

velvetleaf and volunteer wheat. For best results, make a second application. 

Improved control of perennial broadleafweeds such as Canada thistle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or difficult to control annual broadleaf we9{js 

such as giant ragweed or momingglory will result when HELMQUAT 3SL is tank mb<ed with 2,4-D ester (lOW volatile), 2,4-DB, or 8anvel® 

Herbicide. R9{juced grass control may result if the amine formulation of 2,4·0 is applied as a tank mix with HELMQUAT 3SL 

Mixing Order: When tank mixing other products with HELMQUAT 3SL the following order should be followed: (1) fill spray tank !!2 fult with 

clean water or other approved carriers as discussed above; (2) begin tank agitation and continue agitation throughout the mixing and spraying 

operations; (3) add dry formulations {JIP, OF, WDG, etc,) to the tank; (4) add liquid formulations (SC, EC, L, F, etc.) to the tank; (5) add 

HELMQUAT 3SL to the tank: (6) add spray surfactant to the tank; and (7) fill the remainder of the spray tank. Carefully read the labels of other 

pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions that may be different. Physical compatibility of any tank mix combination of 

HELMQUAT 3SL with other herbicides should be checked by performing a jar test.

PRODUCT PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

Equipment: Since HELMQUAT 3SL is corrosive to aluminum, all aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures exposed to spray 

solution or spray drfft should be flushed with water immediately after use. 

Dusty Leaf Surfaces: If weed or plant leaves are extremely dusty (due to high winds, equipment tires, etc.), activity of HELMQUAT 3SL can be 

reduced. Avoid applying HELMQUAT 3SL in extremely dusty conditions, 

UmitaUons and Precautions: 

1, Do not graze livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage in cotton when using HELMQUAT 3SL for a cotton harvest aid. 

2. Use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or play grounds is PROHIBITED. 

3. Do not apply 10 soils lacking clay, i.e., peat, muck, pure sand and artificial planting media if using HELMQUAT 3SL in preplant or 

preemergence (to the crop) uses. 

4. Prepare seedbeds and plantbeds well ahead of planting and treatment to permit maximum weed and grass emergence prior to treatment. 

5, Do not disturb the soil any more than necessary during seeding or transplanting. 

6. Use caution when applying HELMQUAT 3SL for preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch. Transplants may be damaged if they 

come in contact with treated plastic mulch. Sprinkler irrigation or rainfall may be needed to wash off the herbicide from the plaslic to prevent 

damage to the crop. 

7. HELMQUAT 3SL will not control or suppress broad leaf or grassy weeds that emerge after treatment. 

S. Unless otherwise indicated crop plants that are emerged at the time of application and contacted by sprays of HELMOUAT 3SL will be 

injured or killed,

RESIN SOAKING: Pines (Lobtolty, Shortleaf, Longleaf, Slash, Virginia, Pond, Pitch, Spruce Pines) 

Tree Selection-Select trees to be treated from stands on sites not subject to periods of extreme drought stress as the desiccating effect of 

HELMQUAT 3SL to pines is accenluated during such periods, causing a reduction in the amount of oleoresin depoSited in the xylem. Select 

trees to be treated from vigorous, nonstagnated stands, either natural or planled. In stagnated stands or commercial timber stands, plan 

treating with HELMQUAT 3SL not sooner than three years after a commercial thinning. 

Applicatlon Dtrections-Appy HELMQUAT 3SL diluted in water to a sU'ltabie wound in the tree trunk to bring the treatment into contact with 

the xylem (sapwood). 

Bark Streaks or Cuts-This type of wound is made using a standard or rotary bark hack or a chainsaw chipping tool (employed in naval stores 

work) to remove a single t" wide streak of bark about 1-2 ft. from ground level. The total length should not exceed 1/3 of the tree 

circumference. Multiple streaks or cuts can result in serious girdling of the trunk and premature death of the tree. A coarse spray (about 1.75.0 

ml) of HELMQUAT 3SL solution (1-5% cation; wt/wt basis) should be applied to runoff to the exposed xylem, using a low-pressure sprayer. 

The amount of spray required per cut depends on tree circumference and the length of cut or streak. For a 9" diameter tree, 3 ml. of spray will 

cover the t' wide streak. Using 3 ml. of a 2 or 4% HELMQUAT 3SL solution will result in application of 60 or 120 mg. of HELMQUAT 3SL per 

streak. 

Time of Treatment-Resin soaking can occur from treatments made any time of the year; however, cool season treatments under nondrought 

conditions usually result in less severe pine beetle infestations and longer tree life, 

Interval Between Treabnent and Tree Harvest-The interval between appicalion of HELMQUAT 3SL and tree harvest should be a minimum 

of 6 months and preferably from 12-24 months. Intervals of over 6 months may not be possllie under cond~'lons of drought or serious pine 

beetle attacks, which may make early harvest necessary, The HELMQUAT 3SL treatment may encourage beelle aUack or may cause 

premature death of the tree. Desiccation of the xylem lissue rather than the desired resin soaking may occur, and is more likely at higher 

dosage rates. 

Effect on Stem Growth-HELMQUAT 3SL treatment can result in reduced stem growth during the interval between treatment and tree harvest.

NON·AGRICUL TURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 

The requirements in Ihis box apply to uses of Ihis product Ihat are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for 

agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, 

nurseries, or greenhouses. 

DO NOT enter or allow others to enter the treated areas until sprays have dried. AVOID working in spray mist. 

Keep all unprotected persons out of operaling areas or vicinity where there may be danger of drift. Certain states may require more 

restrictive reentry intervals; consult your State Department of Agricutture for further information. 

SPRAY DRtFT INFORMATION 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment· and weather-related factors 

delermine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. 

The follo'Ning drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field 

crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses orto applications using dry formulations. 

1. The distance of Ihe outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 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°. 

Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed.

Information on Droplet Size i ;; , 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets, The best drift management strategy is \0, apply Ille larg'lst dro91els 

that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drifUf a~p1ications 31'&'ill<:lOe 

improperly, Of under unfavorable environ menIal conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature tn~ersions)) , 

ContrOlling Droplet Size ' , , , , ; , ; , , , 

• Volume-Use high llow rate nozzles to apply Ihe highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

• Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturets recommended pressures. For many noZ21e types lower pressure produces larger -

droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. ' , , , , 

• Number of nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles Ihat provide un~orm coverage. , , , , 

• Nozzle Orientation--Onenting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other oti~1"\I~ti9;)S 

and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizonlal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 

• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended aPPlication, With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger 

droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles, Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 

Boom Length 

For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less Ihan 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce driftwilhout 

reducing swath widlh.

Appticaffon Height' 

Applications s~ not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largesf plants unless a greater height is required for 

aircraft safety, Making application at the 10l'lesl height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When ap!1ications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, 

the applicaor musf compensate for Ills d'splacement 'r1t adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increflse 

with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). 

Wind 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift 

potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direclion and high inversion potenlial. NOTE: 

Locallerrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiarwilh local wind pallems and how Ihey affecl spray drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

When making applicalions in low relative humidily. sel up equipment 10 produce larger droplels 10 compensate for evaporation. Droplel 

evaporalion is most severe when conditions are bolh hoi and dry. 

Temperalure Inversions ro.).. \1Qt 

Appicalions ~ nol oct!urdu'ring a femperalure Inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions reslrict vertical air mixing, 

which causes small suspended droplels 10 remain in a concenlrated cloud. This cloud can move in unprediclable direclions due 10 the lighl 

variable winds common during inversions. Temperalure inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altdude and are common 

on nights with limited cloud cover and ligh: to no wind. They begin to fOffi1 as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence 

can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present. inversions can also be identified by \he movement of smoke from a ground 

source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under tow wind conditions) indcates an 

inversion, while smoke th_~oves upward and rapidly dissipates indicales good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas ~, 

The pestk;ide ~ only be applied when the potentiat for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known 

habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas) . 

.:et'&I(AL~=t!tONS AND INFORMATtON 

Formutation: The HELMQUAT 3SL formulation contains 3 pounds of aclive ingredient per gallon. It has a strong nontoxic odor and contains 

an emetic which will cause vomiting if the producl is accidentally swallowed. The strong odor is intentionally part of the formulation to help 

prevenf accidental ingestion of HELMQUAT 3SL 

Mode of Acfion: HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide thaf is rapidly absorbed by green plant tissue. Once absorbed the active ingredient 

interacts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides that destroy the plant cells. HELMQUAT 3SL must be applied to green plant 

tissue to be effective, therefore, excellent and complete coverage of all green foliage is necessary for effective weed con trot and effective leaf 

drop, desiccation and defoliation. Aclivity of HELMQUAT 3SL is reduced when it is applied to drought stressed weeds, weeds with little green 

foliage or to the mature woody bark of trees and vines. HELMQUAT 3SL is lied up rapidly by clay soils and organic matter so it has no residual 

soil activity. 

Spectrum of Activity: As a contact herbicide, HELMQUAT 3SL will controt most small lroadleaf and grass weeds, as wett as suppress 

perennial weeds through the destrucllon of green foliage. HELMQUAT 3SL can also be USed at harvest as a desiccant or defoliant. 

Best weed control is achieved when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied fo emerged weeds that are still small (1 to 6 inches tall). Larger weeds are 

more difflCtJII to control. Allow weeds that have been grazed or mowed fo grow to 2 to 4 Inches tall before applying HELMQUAT 3SL. Also, 

during harvesting of forage or grain crops before spraying, weeds present in the field are also cuI. Therefore, raise culler bars as high as 

possible from the ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height allOWing sufficient green foliage to remain for applications. 

When HELMQUAT 3SL is used for controt of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, applicallon should be made prior to tillering or after the 

boot stage especially with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheal. Application of HELMQUAT 3SL between tiliering and the boot stage may not 

provide acceptable control. HELM QUAT 3SL will not provide complete controt of perennial cover crops. 

Replanfing: Rotational crops may be planted after the last application of HELMQUAT 3SL Since HELMQUAT 3~L,h,a~ P9 soli adjVi~,~crrps 

planted after the last application are nof affected. ' " > > , " > 

Spray Adjuvants: It is important fo always add a nonlonic surfactant (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) with HELMQUAT 3Sl.,Othe~ise, 

reduced activity of HELMQUAT 3SL will result. ' ) ; \ , , ; , > , , , , , 

For ground apollcations, use a NIS containing 75% or more active ingredient at 0.125% vlv (1 pl.lfOO gals), OR use a MS contair.ing 50>74% 

active irgredient at 0.25% vlv (2 pts.!100 gals.) of finished spray volume. If a COC is used, select a nonphytofoXfc;GOq contalrfing' ,'S:iO% 

approved emulsifier at 1.0% vlv (1 gal./100 gals) of finished spray volume. A COC should not be used with HELM91,.1';\ T ~3L when It is applied 

as a cotton harvest aid. , " , , , , For aerial aoplications, use a NtS at 0.20% vlv (2 pls.l100 gals) of the finished spray volume. Or, use a COC at1 pint per acre. A toc shoutd 

not be used with HELMQUAT 3SL when it is applied as a cotion harvest aid. ' > , , 

Weafher Considerations: Atlhough HELMQUAT 3SL is effective under most environmental conditions, some conditions such as cO~1 weather 

(below 55' F), cloudy or overcast weather will slow its activity. HELM QUAT 3SL is rapidty absorbed by plant foliage and becomes rainfast soon 

after application. If rain comes 30 minutes or more after application, activity of HELMQUAT 3SL will not be affected. 

Dosage: Specific application rates for HELMQUAT 3SL are provided below under APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Amays follow the specified 

rates listed for each use. Higher label rates should be used to control or suppress large or dense weeds. Also, when using HELMQUAT 3SL as 

a harvest aid, use the higher label rates when crop vegetation is dense. For broadcasf application with backpack sprayers, do not exceed more 

4 

84
than 0.50 Ib aiiA in a minimum of30 gallons of spray solution per acre. 

Application: Thorough coverage ot target weeds is critical for good weed control since HELMQUAT 3SL Is a contact herbicide. Thorough 

COverage is also ctitical fOr good crop desiccation and defoliation. Unacceptable weed control, desiccation or defoliation will result from poor 

coverage and application to large, stressed or mown weeds. SpecifiC applicalion instructions are provided below. 

Spray volume varies with different uses. Atways follow the spray volume instructions provided in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Only 

minimum spray volumes are provided. Increase spray volumes to insure thorough coverage of target weeds or plants without runoff from the 

foliage. It a spray volume of 20 gallons 01 spray cartier per acre is used, largel weeds should not exceed 6 inches tall. 

Spray carner selection is very important to maximize effectiveness of HELMQUAT 3SL. Always use clean water (no mud or clay), clear liquid 

nitrogen, or complete clear liquid fertilizers with HELMQUAT 3SL. Fertilizers or water containing clay can inactivate HELMQUAT 3SL. It is 

important, therefore, to never use muddy water or suspension type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. Use the higher rate of 

HELMQUAT 3SL and surfactant when the spray carner is a clear liquid fertilizer containing high levels of phosphate. Always use a nonionic 

surfactant when using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier. Uquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant. 

Nozzle selection is very important when making applications ot HELMQUAT 3SL. Flat-fan nozzles provide the most effective a~lication, 

whereas tlood nozzles are usually nol as good because they produce large uneven droplets. Inadequate coverage and reduced weed conlrol 

can occur if flood nozzles are used. Only use flat-fan nozzles if the spray carner is less than 20 gallons per acre. Information on nozzles, 

pressures and setup are shown in the lable below. 

CHEMIGATION STATEMENT: Do nol apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

When HELM QUAT 3SL is applied at less than 10 gallons of finished spray volume per acre, a drift conlrol or spray deposition additive should 

be used. Referto the additive label for use directions.

fOliage, but nol to the point of runoff. 

Tank Mixing for Improved Bumdown of Difficult Weeds and Residual Weed Control: HELMQUAT 3SL can be tank mixed with certain 

other herbicides in order to obtaln greater control of hard to control weeds. Best conlrol is obtained when olher photosynthetic inhibitor (PSI) 

herbiddes are added with HELMQUAT 3SL. These herbicides will cause the activity of HELMQUAT 3SL to be slower, thus allowing it more 

time to distribute throughout the treated leaf. Weed control will generally be greater than when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied alone. , , , , 

The fdlowing PSI herbicides may be tank mixed with HELMQUAT 3SL: AAtreX® Herbicide or other atrazine-bJr.toini:lg produ'd~; BIe5lp 

MAGNUM® Herbicide; Bicep Lite II MAGNUM® Herbicide; Canopy@ Herbicide; Lariat® Herbicide; Lexone® H"2rbic!de$ Linex® Herljicide;

product label(s) for rates of application, directions for use, limitations, precautions, and for a list of weeds controlled. '.,' , 

Control of the following difficull to control broadleal and grassy weeds will be enhanced by the addition of a PS(L~rt;icide with H~L1l'i('MAT 

3SL: bamyardgrass, broadleaf signalgrass, cheatgrass, cocklebur, fall panicum, giant ragweed, knotweed, koch:a, la:mbsquarters" .. malva

Improved control of perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or difficult to control annual broad'£a;·l;Jeeds 

such as giant ragweed or momingglory will result when HELMQUAT 3SL is tank mixed with 2.4-D ester (low volatile), 2.4-DB: cr!E'i:nVeI® 

Herbicide. Reduced grass control may result if the amine formulation of 2,4-0 is applied as a tank mix with HELMQUAT 3SL. 

Mixing Order: When tank mixing other products with HELMQUAT 3SL the fOllOWing order should be followed: (1) fill spray tank 112 full with 

clean waler or other approVed carriers as discussed above; (2) begin tank agitation and continue agitation throughout Ihe mixing and spraying 

operations; (3) add dry formulations (WP, DF, WDG, ele.) to the tank; (4) add liquid formulations (SC, EC. L, F, etc.) to the tank; (5) add 

HELMQUAT 3SL to the tank: (6) add spray surfaclant to the tank; and (7) fill fhe remainder of the spray tank. Carefully read the labels of other 

pestidde products for mixing directions and precautions that may be different. Physical compatibility of any tank mix combination of 

HELMQUAT 3SL wHh other herbiddes should be checked by performing a jar test.

'()(9dud\' ~~j,. PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

Equipment: Since HaMQUAT 3SL is corrosive to aluminum, all aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures exposed to spray 

solution or spray drift should be flushed with waler immediately after use. 

Dusty Leal Surfaces: It weed or planlleaves are extremely dusty (due to high winds, equipment tires, etc.), activity of HELMQUAT 3SL can be 

reduced. Avoid applying HELMQUAT 3SL in extremely dusty conditions. 

Umilalions and Precautions: 

1. Do not graze livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage in coiton when using HELM QUAT 3SL tor a cotton harvest aid. 

2. Use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or play grounds is PROHIBITED. 

3. Do nol apply to soils lacking clay, i.e., peal, muck, pure sand and artificial planting media if using HELM QUAT 3SL in preplant or 

preemergence (to the crop) uses. 

4. Prepare seedbeds and plantbeds well ahead ot planting and treatment to permit maximum weed and grass emergence prior to treatment. 

5. Do not disturb the soit any more than necessary during seeding or transplanting. 

6. Use cauHon when applying HELMQUAT 3SL tor preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch. Transplants may be damaged if they 

come in contact with treated ptastic mulch. Sprinkler irrigation or raintall may be needed to wash off the herbicide from the plastic to prevent 

damage to the crop. 

7. HELMQUAT 3SL will not control or sup~ess broadleat or grassy weeds that emerge after treatment. 

8. Unless otherwise indicated crop plants that are emerged at the time of application and contacted by sprays 01 HELMOUAT 3SL will be 

injured or killed.

For preplant or preemergence apptication, HELMQUAT 3SL may be tank mixed with 

atrazine for improved preemergence or residual weed control. The addition of 2,4-0 ester 

(low volatile) may aid in the suppression of perennial and annual broadleaf weeds emerged 

at the time of application. When tank mixing, read and carefully follow all appliC<lble use

0.7-1.3 pts. Apply specified dosage as a postemergence directed spray (including hooded or shielded) in 

10 gallons of spray per acre by ground when weeds are actively growing. Use higher rate on 

targer or hard to control weeds. Weeds 6' or taller may not be controlled. Because spray can 

severely damage and/or kilt sorghum plants, applications should be made with either hooded 

or shielded sprayers or as a directed spray as outlined below. To avoid excessive crop " 

phytotoxicity, use a hooded or shietded sprayer with skids or wheels on the spray boom to 

maintain spray height. Apply by directing spray between the rows and using hooded or 

shielded sprayers to prevenl spray contael with crop plants. If applying without a hooded or 

shielded sprayer, apply when sorghum is at least 12' tall when naturally standing. Do not 

exceed 30 psi nozzle pressure or spray under conditions which may cause excessive drift. 

Use precision directed spray application equipment adjusted so that no more than the lower 

3' of the sorghum stalk is contacted by the application spray. Some crop injury will occur. The 

decree of iniurv is related to the precision of apolicatlon and spravina conditions.

RESIN SOAKING: Pines (Loblolly. Shortleaf, Longleaf, Slash, Virginia, Pond, Pitch, Spruce Pines) 

Tree Selection-Select trees to be trealed from stands on sites not subiect to periods of extreme drought stress as the desiccating effect of 

HELMQUAT 3SL to pines is accentuated during such periods, causing a reduction in the amount of oleoresin deposited in the xylem. Select 

trees to be treated from vigorous, nonstagnated stands, either natural or planted. In stagnated stands or commerclaltimber stands, plan 

treating with HELMQUAT 3SL not sooner than three years after a commerciallhinning. 

Application Directions-Apply HELMQUAT 3SL diluted in water to a suita~e wound in the tree trunk to bring the treatment into contact with 

the xylem (sapwood). 

Bark Streaks or Cuts-This type of wound is made using a slandard or rotary bark hack or a chainsaw chipping tool (employed in naval stores 

wOrk) to remove a single l' wide streak of bark about 1-2 ft. from ground level. The total lenglh should not exceed 1/3 ot the tree 

circumference. Multiple streaks or cuts can result in serious girdling of the trunk and premature death of the tree. A coarse spray (about 1.75.0 

ml) of HELMQUAT 3SL solution (1,5% cation; wt.lwt. basis) should be applied to runoff to the exposed xylem, using a low-pressure sprayer. 

The amounl of spray required per cui depends on tree circumference and the length of cut or streak. For a 9' diameter tree, 3 ml. of spray will 

cover the l' wide streak. Using 3 ml. of a 2 or 4% HELMQUAT 3SL solution will result in apptication of 60 or 120 mg. of HELMQUAT 3SL per 

streak. 

Time of Treatment-Resin soaking can occur from trealments made any time of the year; however, cool season treatments under nondrought 

conditions usually resuH in less severe pine beetle infestatlOfls and longer tree life. 

Interval Between Treatment and Tree Harvest-The interval between application of HELMQUAT 3SL and tree harvest should be a minimum 

of 6 months and preferably from 12-24 months. Intervals of over 6 months may not be possible under conditions of drought or serious pine 

beeBe attacks, which may make ea~y harvesl necessary. The HELMQUAT 3SL treatment may encourage beetle attack or may cause 

premature death of the tree. Desiccation of the xylem tissue rather than the desired resin soaking may occur, and is more likely at higher 

dosage rates. 

Effect on Stem Growth-HELMQUAT 3SL treatment can result in reduced stem growth during the interval between treatment and tree harvest.

ACTION REQUESTED: The Risk Manager requests a review of the acute toxicity data, a six 

pack (MRIDs 48122103-08), submitted to support the application for a new product #74530-UI. 

BACKGROUND: Helm Agro submits an application for a new end-use product, #74530-UI. 

According to the Registrant, the product's composition and its use directions are similar to the 

registered product #66222-130. However, the tox data is not the same as the referenced product, 

the tox profile has been modified in accordance with the six pack data generated at the Product 

Safety Laboratories, Dayton, NJ. 

RECOMMENDATIONS: 

The test material is identified as Paraquat dichloride monohydrate 42.8% which really equals to 

40.0% aj. ( 257.16/275.17). In this case TRE will accept the toxicity data. However, the CSF 

has to be approved by the Product Chemistry team. 

The acute toxicity profile for #74530-UI is as follows: 

Acute oral toxicity III acceptable MRID 48122103 

Acute dermal toxicity IV acceptable MRID 48122104 

Acute inhalation toxicity I acceptable MRID 48122105 

Primary eye irritation I acceptable MRID 48122106

SPONSOR: Helm Agro US, Inc., Memphis, TN 39125 

EXECUTNE SUMMARY: In an acute oral toxicity study (MRlD 48122103) an initial limit 

dose of Helm quat 3SL was administered at 5000 mglkg in a female rat. The animal died. The 

study proceeded to the main test using default starting level of 175 mglkg with increasing doses 

Animals used were all female Sprague-Dawley derived albino rats, source: Ace Animals, 10-11 

wks old wt.175-218g. These animals were observed for 14 days for toxicity and mortality. Body 

weights were recorded prior to the dose administrations, then on day 7 and 14. All animals were 

euthanized and necropsied at termination. 

One animal dosed at 5000 mg/kg died within 3 hours of test administration. Prior to death the 

animal was hypoactive, had piloerection and showed hunched posture. Necropsy showed 

discolored intestine. At 1750 mg/kg all 3 animals died within one day. These animals were 

hypoactive and had piloerection and lor facial staining and hunched posture. Decedents at 

necropsy showed discoloration of intestines I red lungs and distended stomach. Animals dosed 

at 175, and 550 mg/kg survived with no obvious abnormal signs. There were no gross lesions at 

necropsy. 

LDso Females for Helmquat 3SL is estimated to be 1030 mglkg bw 

Based on the oral LDso, Helmquat 3SL is in EPA Toxicity Category In. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for an acute oral 

study (OPPTS 870.1100; DECD 425). 

COMPLIANCE: Signed and dated GLP, Quality Assurance and Data Confidentiality statements

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute dennal toxicity study (MRID 48122104), five male and 

five female young adult, Sprague-Dawley derived, albino rats, 8~9 weeks old (source, Ace 

Animals, Boyertown, PA, males: 232~276g, females: 180-21lg) were dennally exposed to 

Helmquat 3SL at a limit dose of5000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours. The test material (as supplied) 

was applied to the clipped application site on the dorsal trunk, measuring approximately 2 inches 

by 3 inches (~ 10% of the body surface area), using a 4-ply gauze pad secured with 3-inch 

Durapore tape which was wrapped around the trunk. The animals were observed for 14 days. 

All animals survived the test. There was dennal irritation in all animals during day 1-14 at the 

application site. Except for the dermal lesion, all animals were healthy and gained weight during 

the remaining of the study. There were no abnormal gross findings at necropsy. 

LD50 Males > 5000 mg/kg bw 

LD50 Females > 5000 mglkg bw 

LD50 Combined> 5000 mglkg bw 

Based on the dermal LD5o, Helmquat 3SL is in Toxicity Category IV. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for an acute 

dennal study (OPPTS 870.1200; OECD 402) in the rat

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute inhalation toxicity study (MRID 48122105), 3 groups 

of 5 male and 5 female Sprague·Dawley albino rats (8-10 weeks old, from Ace Animals, 

Boyertown, PA, wt. males: 269·334g, females: l87-235g). The groups were based on pre.trials 

and received nose only exposure to Helmquat 3SL at 0.052, 0.52 and 2.02 mg/L for 4 hours. 

The MMADs were 2.3, 2.1 and 2.4 respectively. The animals were observed for 14 days post 

exposure. 

At 0.052 mg/L all animals died within four days after exposure ofthe test material (0.052 

mg/ml). Animals appeared healthy immediately following exposure. Then on day 1-3 there was 

abnormal respiration, hypoactivityl facial staining. On day 4 all animals were found dead. 

Necropsy showed discoloration of intestines, lungs and liver. At 0.52 mgIL, all animals died 

within two days after exposure. Animals appeared healthy after immediate exposure, however, 

all animals were found dead on day 2. Necropsy showed discoloration of lungs, liver and 

intestines. At 2.02 mgIL all animals died within one day after exposure. Three rats showed 

irregular respiration and three appeared hypoactive. All animals were dead on day 1. Necropsy 

revealed discoloration ofliver, lungs and intestines. 

LCso Males and/or Females is <0.052 mg/kg (all animals died). 

Based on the LCso, Hehnquat 3SL is in EPA Toxicity Category I. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for an acute 

inhalation study (OPPTS 870.1300; OECD 403) in the rat.

material, Helmquat 3SL was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of3 young adult 

female NZW rabbits (source:Robinson Services, Clemmons, NJ). The left eye of each animal 

served as the control. Eyes were scored for ocular irritation according to the Drruze method 1, 

24,48, and 72 hours and through 21 days post instillation (Table I). 

There was no corneal opacity. There was iritis and conjunctivitis in all 3 animals one hour after 

the test substance instillation. One eye was positive for chemosis on day 21. The total mean score 

for the severity of irritation was 17.7. The product is severely irritating to the rabbit eye. 

In this study, the test material is severely irritating. He1mquat 3SL is classified as EPA Toxicity 

Category I for primary eye irritation. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfY the guideline requirements for a primary 

eye irritation study (OPPTS 870.2400; OECD 405) in the rabbit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a primary dermal irritation study (MRID 48122107), three young 

adult (2 m, 1 f) NZW rabbits (source: Robinson Services Clemmons, North Carolina) were 

dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of the test substance (Helmquat 3SL) for 4 hours. The doses were 

applied to intact, clipped, 6_cm2 application sites on the trunk, using a4-ply gauze pad secured 

with semi-occlusive 3-inch Micropore tape wrapped around the trunk. The animals were 

observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours, and 7 and 10 days following the patch removal. Irritation at the 

test sites was scored according to the Draize method. 

All rabbits showed well defIned erythema and very slight edema on the test sites within 24 hrs 

after patch removal. Erythema persisted for all three test sites and edema for one site through 14 

days. 

In this study Helmquat 3SL is moderately irritating. The test substance is classified as EPA 

Toxicity Category III for primary dermal irritation. 

Primary Irritation Index is cPU) = 2.1 

This study is classifIed as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for a primary 

dermal irritation study (OPPTS 870.2500; OECD 404) in the rabbit.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a dermal sensitization study (MRlD 48122108), 20 young adult 

male Hartley albino guinea pigs 370-469g, source: Elm Hill Breeding Labs, Chelmsford, MA) 

were tested with Hehnquat 3SL using the Buehler method. The dorsal areas and flanks of20 

guinea pigs were clipped. Prescreening tests were perfonned on extra animals to assess the 

proper dose for induction and challenge. Inductions were applied to left side of each animal in a 

Hill chamber. For the first induction treatment, 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material (as 

received), for the second induction 75% of the test material (in dist. Water), and for the 3rd 

induction 25% of the test material in distilled water was used. Application was for six hours. 

The test sites were cleaned with tap water and dried with a clean paper towel. Twenty-seven 

days after the first induction, the animals were challenged with 0.4 mL of diluted test material 

(1 % wlw in dist. water at HNIC) applied to a naive site on the right side of each animal for 6 

hours. Reactions were scored 24, and 48 hours post application for induction and for challenge. 

A re-challenge was also perfonned with 0.7% and 0.9% wlw mixture oftest substance in dist. 

water. These animals were examined after 24 and 48 hrs after the test .A naive group of 10 

previously untreated males was treated at the first challenge and a naIve control group of 10 

females was used at the rechallenge. 

Five of the 20 animals on test died before the challenge. 

Following the first challenge 3115 induced animals and 311 0 naIve control animals showed a 

positive response. At rechallenge IllS induced and 2/10 controls showed a positive response to 

0.9%; 0115 previously induced and Oil 0 naIve control animals showed a positive response to 

0.7%. 

The historical positive control test was appropriate. 

Based on the results of this study, Helmquat 3SL is not a dennal sensitizer. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for a dennal 

sensitization study (OPPTS 870.2600; OECD 406) in the guinea pig.

PROCEDURE: 

A. Induction: The dorsal areas and flanks of20 guinea pigs were clipped. Prescreening tests 

were performed on extra animals to assess the proper dose for induction and challenge. 

Inductions were applied to left side of each animal in a Hill chamber. For the fIrst induction 

treatment, 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material (as received), for the second induction 75% of 

the test material (in dist. Water), and for the 3rd induction 25% of the test material in distilled 

water was used. Application was for six hours. The test sites were cleaned with tap water and 

dried with a clean paper towel. 

B. Challenge: Twenty-seven days after the fIrst induction, the animals were challenged with 0.4 

mL of diluted test material (1 % wlw in dist. water at HNIC) applied to a naive site on the right 

side of each animal for 6 hours. Reactions were scored 24, and 48 hours post application for 

induction and for challenge. A re-challenge was also performed with 0.7% and 0.9% wlw 

mixture of test substance in dist. water. These animals were examined after 24 and 48 hrs after 

the test. A naive group of 10 previously untreated males was treated at the fIrst challenge and a 

naIve control group of 10 females was used at the rechallenge. 

RESULTS and DISCUSSION: 

Five of the 20 animals on test died before the challenge. 

Following the first challenge 3/15 induced animals and 3/1 0 naIve control animals showed a 

apositive response. At rechallenge 1/15 induced and 2/1 0 controls showed a positive response to 

0.9%; 0/15 previously induced and 0/1 0 naiVe control animals showed a positive response to 

0.7%. 

Based on the results of this study, Helmquat 3SL is not a dermal sensitizer. 

A. Positive control: The results of a positive control study using (HCA) alphaHexylcinnamaldehyde Technical were included in the study report. The study (#27592) was 

conducted within six months of the submitted main study and the results were appropriate. 

B. Reviewer's conclusion: In agreement with the study author, the test substance is not a dermal 

sensitizer. It is noted that 5/20 animals died as a result of exposure to the test material during 

the induction period.

and has concluded: 

1. Basic CSF submitted on 1110211 0 is acceptable and attached. 

2. The CSF is acceptable since the limits of have been corrected. 

3. All required Group A data were reviewed previously and determined to be acceptable. 

4. All required Group B data were reviewed previously and detennined to be acceptable; exceptguidelines 830.6317 (storage stability) and 830.6320 (corrosion characteristics). The registrant 

is required to generate one year storage stability & corrosion characteristics study. The 

reconunended observations periods are 0, 3, 6, 9, & 12 months intervals. 

5. The proposed label was screened as it pertains to the product chemistry requirements. 

The final review of the proposed label and uses are the purview of the PM team. 

6. The subject product is not similar to EPA Reg. # 66222-130 from product chemistry point of 

view there is some difference in density, pH value (3.61 vs. 5.35 in the proposed product) and 

flash point when compared to the cited product (EPA Reg. # 66222-130).

Footnotes 

A. During the 21 day initial content review, all CSFs will be reviewed to determine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting 

mistakes on the CSF, etc. or 2) provide the data to support opp approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

CSF and may require submission of data. All information. forms, data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdravm within the 21 day period, otherwise, the Agency will reject the 

application as described below. 

To successfully complete this aspect ofthe 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 

140
site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOIlinerts/lists.html] and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are no longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (nAB) at inertsbranch@epa.govandresolvetheissue. Copies of the 

correspondence with HAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by HAB. The HAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://www.epa.gov/oppbppdllbiopesticides!contactsbppd.htm]. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional information such as an alternate name of the inert, CAS number or other 

infonnation [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/tips.pdfj must also be induded 

to enable the Agency to detennine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this information to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component information to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. If the inert ingredients in a proprietary blend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21-day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit infonnation to the individual 

identified by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

I. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 

141
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

Conventional New Product Applications 

When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R3II, R312 or R313), it will contact the applicant with the 

following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (This option may change the PRIA 

category for the application, which could require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21-day 

content-review period, the Agency ¥fill reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

When the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it will contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the spelling or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CFR 174, or providing documentation that the inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the infonnation and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss hannonizing the timeframe for both actions. 

5 

142
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21 day 

content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the fee. 

B. A policy on docwnentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me~too or fast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 or A530, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R3 0 I or 

A531. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss study waivers 

prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation of such discussions 

should be submitted with the study waiver.

Application for registration of a new "me-too" end-use product 

Dear Mr. Tompkins: 

HELM Agro US Inc. herewith submits an application for a new end-use product registration 

containing a registered technical source, Paraquat Te (EPA Reg. No. 74530-37). The 

composition of the subject product and its use directions are very similar to the registered 

product, Parazone 3SL (EPA Reg. No. 66222~130). Therefore, this application is considered a 

~me-too" registration, which only requires data review of the enclosed Product Chemistry 

(Subpart A and B) and Acute Toxicity stUdies, and otherwise r91ies on existing data as indicated 

on the enclosed data matrix and the cite~all option under the selective method. 

The subject application for registration is supported by the enclosed information and

DO NOT enter or allow others to enter the treated areas until sprays have dried. AVOID working in spray mist. 

Keep all unprotected persons out of operating areas or vicinity where there may be danger of drift. Certain states may require more 

restrictive reentry intervats; consu~ your State Department of Agriculture tor further information. 

SPRAY DRIFT INFORMATtON 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors 

determine the polential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for conSidering all these faclors when making decisions. 

The following drift managemenl requirements must be followed to avoid off-targel drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field 

crops. These requirements do not app~ to forestry app~'calions, pUblic health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 

1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

2. Nozzles must always point backward paraitel wilh the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45Q

• 

Where states have more stringenl regulations, they shall be observed. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into accounl the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 

Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information 

(This section is adviSOry in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.) 

Information on Droplet Size 

The mosl effec!lve way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplels 

that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces dlift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made 

improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions), 

Controttlng Droplet Size 

, Volume-Use high ttow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 

• Pressure-Do nol exceed the nozzle manutacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger 

droplels. When higher flow rales are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 

, Number of nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 

• Nozzle Orientalion-Orienling nozzles so that the Spray is released paraltel to the airstream produces larger droplets than olher orierlofO.1S 

and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet Size ar'ld ir'lcrease drift pO!e}1ljflJ., 0 ' ; " : 

• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type Ihat is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower s~Jay ,,~gi~s produce I<,rger 

droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largesl droplets ond the lowest dri~. ,

Application Height 

Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater heighl is required for 

aircraft sately. Making application al the lowest height Ihat is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a crosswind, the swalh will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, 

the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustmenl distance should increase 

with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). 

Wind 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2·10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drtft 

potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: 

Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind pattems and how they affect spray drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

VVhen making applications in low relative humid~y. set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet 

evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potenlial is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, 

which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light 

variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperalures with allitude and are common 

on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the moming. Their presence 

can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground 

source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide should only be applied when the potenlial for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known 

habhat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from Ihe sensitive areas). 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION 

Formulation: The HELMQUAT 3SL formulation contains 3 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. It has a strong nontoxic odor and contains 

an emetic which will cause vomiting it the product is accidenlally swallowed. The strong odor is intentionally part of the formulation to help 

prevent acddental ingestion of HELMQUAT 3SL. 

Mode of Action: HELMQUAT 3SL is a conlact herbicide Ihat is rapidly absorbed by green plant lissue. Once absorbed the active ingredient 

interacts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides that destroy the plant cells. HELMQUAT 3SL must be applied to green plant 

tissue to be effective, Iherefore, excellent and complete coverage of all green foliage is necessary for effeclive weed control and effective leaf 

drop, desiccation and defolialion. Activity of HELMQUAT 3SL is reduced when it is applied to drought stressed weeds, weeds with little green 

foliage or to the mature woody bark of trees and vines. HELMQUAT 3SL is tied up rapidly by clay soils and organic matter so it has no residual 

soil activity. 

Spectrum of Activity: As a contact herbicide, HELMQUAT 3SL will control most small broadleaf and grass weeds, as well as suppress 

perennial weeds through Ihe destruction of green fotiage. HELMQUAT 3SL can also be used at harvest as a desiccant or defoliant. 

Best weed conlrol is achieved when HELMQUAT 3Sl is applied to emerged weeds that are still small (1 to 6 inches tall). Larger weeds are 

more difficull to control. Allow weeds Ihat have been grazed or mowed to grow to 210 4 inches tall before applying HELMQUAT 3SL. Also, 

during harvesling of forage or grain crops before spraying, weeds present in the field are also cut. Therefore, raise cutter bars as high as 

poss'lble from Ihe ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height allowing sufficient green IOliage to remain for applications. 

When HElMQUAT 3SL is used for control of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, application should be made prior to tillering or after the 

boot stage especially with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheat. Application of HElMQUAT 3Sl between lillering and the bool stage may not 

provide acceplable control. HELM QUAT 3Sl will not provide complete control of perennial cover crops. 

Replanting: Rotational crops may be planled after the last application of HElMQUAT 3SL. Since HELMQUAT 3SL has no soil activ~y, crops 

planted after the last applicafion are not affected. 

Spray Adjuvants: It is important to always add a nonionic surfactanl (NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC) with HELMQUAT 3SL. OlhelWise, 

reduced activity of HElMQUAT 3Sl will result. 

For ground applications. use a NIS containing 75% or more active ingredient at 0.125% v/v (1 pl./100 gals), OR use a NIS containing 50-74% 

active ingredient al 0.25% vlv (2 pts./100 gals.) of finished spray volume. If a COC is used, select a nonphytotoxic COC containing 15-20% 

approved emulsifier at 1.0% vfv (1 gal.l100 gals) of finished spray volume. A COC should not be used with HELMQUAT 3Sl when it is applied 

as a collon harvest aid. 

For aerial applications, USe a NIS at 0.25% v/v (2 ptsJ100 gals) of the finished spray volume. Or, use a cae at 1 pint per acre. A COC should 

not be used with HELMQUAT 3Sl when it is applied as a cotton harvest aid. , > , > 

Weather Considerations: Allhough HElMQUAT 3SL is eftective under most environmental conditions, some conc!.iEO~D!::cch as cOOl\vealirer 

(below 55' F), cloudy or overcast weather will slow its activity. HElMQUAT 3SL is rapidly absorbed by plant foliagetmd B6C"ixnes rainfaspsoon 

after application. If rain comes 30 minutea or more after application, aclivity of HElMQUAT 3Sl will not be affected. ) , , ) ">3~' 

Dosage: Specific application rates for HF.1MQUAT 3Sl are provided below under APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Aivia~~ ~IIoW the specified 

rates listed for each use. Higher label rates should be used to conlrol or suppress large or dense weeds. Also, when using HELMQU.~:' ·3Sb as 

a harvest aid, use the higher label rates when crop vegetation is dense. For broadcast application with backpack sprayers', /:10 not ex6e€d more

than 0.50 Ib ai/A in a minimum of 30 gallons ot spray solution per acre. 

Application: Thorough coverage ot target weeds is critical for good weed control since HELMQUAT 3SL is a contact herbicide. Thorough 

coverage is also critical for good crop desiccation and defoliation. Unacceptable weed control, desiccation or defoliation will result from poor 

coverage and application to large, stressed or mown weeds. Specific application instructions are provided below. 

Spray volume varies wilh different uses. Always follow the spray volume instructions provided in the APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS. Only 

minimum spray volumes are provided. Increase spray volumes to insure Ihorough coverage of larget weeds or plants without runoff from the 

foliage. If a spray volUme ot 20 gallons ot spray carrier per CK:re is used, targel weeds should not exceed 6 inches tall. 

Spray carrier selection is very important to maximize effecliveness of HELMQUAT 3SL Always use clean water (no mud or day), dear liquid 

nitrogen, or complete dear liquid fertilizers with HELMQUAT 3SL. Fertilizers or water containing clay can inactivate HELMQUAT 3SL It is 

important, therefore, 10 never use muddy water or suspension type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. Use the higher rat~ of 

HELMQUAT 3SL and surfactant when the spray carrier is a clear liquid tertilizer containing high levels of phosphate. Always use a nonionic 

surfaclant when using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant. 

Nozzle selection is very important when making applications of HELMQUAT 3SL Flat·fan nozzles provide the most effectJve application, 

whereas fiood nozzles are usually not as good because they produce large uneven droplets. Inadequate coverage and reduced weed control 

can occur if flood nozzles are used. Only use flat-fan nozzles it the spray carrier is less than 20 gallons per acre. Information on nozzles, 

pressures and setup are shown in the table below. 

CHEMIGATiON STATEMENT: Do not apply ttl·s product through arry type of inigation system. 

When HELM QUAT 3SL is applied at less than 10 gallons otflnished spray volume per acre, a drift control or spray deposition additive should 

be used. Refer to the additive label for use directions.

Always add 113 to 1/2 fl oz of NIS to each gallon of spray. Dunng the spot spraYing operation, spray plants thoroughly In order to wet the 

foliage, but not to the pOint of runoff. 

Tank Mixing for Improved Bumdown of Difficult Weeds and Residual Weed Control: HELMQUAT 3SL can be tank mixed with certain 

other herbicides in order to oblain greater control of hard to control weeds. Best control is obtained when other photosynthetic inhibitor (PSI) 

herbicides are added wilh HELMQUAT 3SL These herbicides will cause the activity of HELMQUAT 3SL to be slower, thus allowing II more 

time to distribJle throughout Ihe treated leaf. Weed control will generally be greater than when HELMQUAT 3SL is applied alone. 

The fOllOWing PSI herbicides may be tank mixed with HELMQUAT 3SL: Mtrex® Herbicide or other atrazine-containing products; Bleep 

MAGNUM® Herbicide; Bicep Ute II MAGNUM® Herbicide; Canopy@ Herbicide; Lariat® Herbicide; Lexone® Herbicide; Linex® Herbicide; 

Lorox® Herbicides; Lorox Plus® Herbicide; MANA Parallel T" Herbicide; MANA Parallel ThI Plus Herbicide; MANA Parallel TM pes Herbicide; 

Princep® Herbicide; Sencor® Herbicide or other melribuzin-containing products; and Triangle 'f" Herbicide. Be sure to read the respective 

product label(s) for rates of application, directions for use, limitations, precautions, and for a list of weeds controlled. 

Control ot the following difficult to connol broadleaf and grassy weeds will be enhanced by the addition of a PSI herbicide with HELMQUAT 

3SL: barnyardgrass, broadleat si!Jlalgrass, cheatgrass, cocklebur, fall panic urn, giant ragweed, knotweed, kochia, lambsquarters, malva 

(cheeseweed), marestail, momingglory, Pennsylvania smartweed, perennial weeds (suppression only), prickly lettuce, sedges, tansymustard, 

velvetieaf and volunteer wheat For best results, make a second application. 

ImprOVed control of perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or difficult to control annual broadleaf weeds 

such as gianl ragweed or morningglory will result when HELMQUAT 3SL is tank mixed with 2,4-0 ester (lOW volatile), 2,4-DB, 91'6~ttp,l® 

Herbicide. Reduced grass control may result if the amine formulation of 2,4-0 is applied as a tank mix with HELMQ[Jt,T,3$l, • • • 

Mixing Order: When tank mixing other products with HELMQUAT 3SL the following order should be followed: (1~ffll s'Prai' tank t12 foil with 

dean water or other approved carriers as discussed above; (2) begin tank agitation and continue agitation throughout the~mixing a~.spl;3~i!lg

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

Equipment: Since HELM QUAT 3SL is corrosive to aluminum, all aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures exposed to spray 

solution or spray drift should be flushed with water immediately after use, 

Dusty Leaf Surfaces: If weed or ptant leaves are extremely dusty (due to high winds, equipment tires, etc.), activity of HELM QUAT 3SL can be 

reduced. Avoid applying HELMQUA T 3SL in extremely dusty conditions, 

Limltalions and Precautions: 

1. Do not graze livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage in cotton when using HELM QUAT 3SL for a cotton harvest aid. 

2. Use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or play grounds is PROHIBITED. 

3. Do not apply to soils lacking clay, Le., peat, muck, pure sand and artificial planting media if using HELMQUAT 3SL in preplant or 

preemergence (to the crop) uses. 

4. Prepare seedbeds and plantbeds well ahead of planting and trealment to permit maximum weed and grass emergence prior to treatment. 

5. Do nol dislurb the soil any more than necessary during seeding or transplant1ng. 

5. Use caution when applying HELMQUAT 3SL for preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch. Transplants may be damaged if they 

come in contact with treated plastic mulch. Sprinkler irrigation or rainfall may be needed to wash off the herbicide from the plastic to prevent 

damage to the crop. 

7. HELMQUAT 3SL will not control or suppress broadteaf or grassy weeds that emerge after treatment. 

8. Unless otherwise indicated crop plants that are emerged at the time of application and contacted by sprays of HELMOUAT 3SL will be 

iniured or killed,

COMMENTS 

Apply specified dosage as a postemergence directed spray (includes hooded or shielded) in 'a 

minimum of 10 gallons of spray per acre by ground when weeds are actively growing. Use the 

lower rate to control seedling [ohnsongrass, crabgrass, goosegrass, brachiaria, Texas millet, 

and pigweed less than 2' tall. Use the highest rate for control of 2-4' red rice, brachiaria, 

bamyard grass, crabgrass, goosegrass, seedling johnsongrass, giant foxtail, fait pal1icum, 2-3' 

slcklepod, purslane, pigweed, cuUeaf ground cherry, and common ragweed. Add 2,4-0 at rates 

specified on the label of the product you are using for control of 2-4' grasses in mixture with 

common cocklebur, morningglory, and red rice. If necessary, a second application may be 

made 7-14 days later. Hooded or shietded sprayers should be used by directing spray between 

the rows to prevent spray contact with crop plants. Use higher rate on larger « 6') or hard to 

control weeds. Weeds 6" or taller may not be controlled. Severe damage and/or complete kit! 

can occur if spray intentiOllally or accidentaUy (including drift of fine droplets) contacts the 

ptants. If making applications without hooded or shielded sprayers, use precision directed 

spray application equipment adjusted so that no more than the tower 3' of the soybean plant is 

contacted by the application spray. Do not exceed 30 psi nozzle pressure or spray under 

conditions which may cause excessive drift. Do not treat if soybeans are less than 8' tall. 

Some crop iniury will occur. The degree of injury is related to the preCision of application and 

spraying conditions. When tank mixing with 2,4-0, read and carefully follow all applicable use 

directions, precautions, and limitations on the respective productlabeJ(s). In interpreting the

RESIN SOAKING: Pines (Loblolly, Shortleaf, Longleaf, Slash, VirginIa, Pond, Pitch, Spruce Pines) 

Tree Selection-Select trees 10 be Ireated from stands on sties not subjecllo periods of exlreme droughl slress as the desiccallng effect of 

HELMQUAT 3SL 10 pines is accentualed during such periods, causing a reduction in the amount of oleoresin deposited in Ihe xylem. Selecl 

trees to be treated from vigorous, nonstagnated slands, either nalural or plan led. In slagnaled stands or commercial limber stands, plan 

treating w~h HELM QUAT 3SL not sooner Ihan Ihree years after a commercial thinning. 

Application DIrections-Apply HELMQUAT 3SL diluled in water 10 a suitable wound in Ihe Iree trunk 10 brlng Ihe treatmenl inlo conlacl wilh 

the xylem (sapwood). 

Bark Streaks or Culs-This Iype of wound Is made using a slandard or rolary bark hack or a chainsaw chipping 1001 (employed in naval slores 

work) to remove a single l' wide slreak of bark aboul 1-2 ft from ground level. The total length should not exceed 1/3 of Ihe tree 

circumference. Mulliple slreaks or cuts can resull in serious girdling of the Irunk and premalure dealh of the Iree. A coarse spray (about 1.75.0 

ml) of HELMQUAT 3SL solution (1-5% cation; wt.!wt. basis) should be applied 10 runoff 10 Ihe exposed xylem, using a low-pressure sprayer. 

The amount of spray required per cui dep8nds on tree circumference and the length of cut or streak. For a 9' diameter Iree, 3 ml. of spray will 

cover the l' wide slreak. Using 3 ml. of a 2 or 4% HELMQUAT 3SL solution will result in application of 60 or 120 mg. of HELM QUAT 3SL per 

streak. 

Time of Treatmenl-Resin soaking can occur from Irealmenls made any lime of the year; however, cool season lrealments under nondroughl 

conditions usually resull in less severe pine beeUe infeslations and longer tree IWe. 

Interval Between Treatmenl and Tree Harvest-The inlerval between application of HELMQUAT 3SL and tree harvesl should be a minimum 

of 6 monlhs and preferably from 12-24 monlhs. Inlervals of over 6 months may nol be possible under conditions of droughl or serious pine 

beeUe attacks, which may make early harvesl necessary. The HElMQUAT 3SL treatmenl may encourage beeUe aUack or may cause 

premature death of Ihe lree. Desiccalion of Ihe xylem tissue rather than the desired resin soaking may occur, and is more likely al higher 

dosage rales. 

Effect on Stem Growth-HELMQUAT 3SL treatment can result in reduced stem growth during the interval between treatment and tree harvesl.
