GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource Herbicide is a selective herbicide for postemergence control of susceptible broadleafweeds in field corn 

and soybeans. 

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 

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

Do not make more than two applications per acre per season. 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

For best results, Resource should be applied to actively growing weeds within the growth stages indicated in this 

label. Applying Resource under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide 

effectiveness. Do not apply Resource when the crop or weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, 

extremes in temperature, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to 

herbicidal action. Resource is most effective when applied under sunny conditions at temperatures above lOaF. 

RAIN FASTNESS 

Resource is rainfast one hour after application. Applications should not be made if rain is expected within one hour 

of application or efficacy may be reduced. 

ADDITIVES 

Control of weeds by Resource requires the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. 

Either a crop 011 concentrate or methylated seed oil, which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil, may be 

used when applying Resource. Certain tank mixes require the use of a non-ionic surfactant. Non-ionic surfactant 

must contain at least 80% active ingredient and must be EPA approved for use on food crops. Mixing and 

compatibility qualities should be verified by a jar test. 

A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2.0 to 2.51bs.lA or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 to 2 

qts.lA) may be added to the spray mixture along vJith either crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic 

surfactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for crop oil 

concentrate, methylated seed oil, or non-ionic surfactant. 

JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

Ajartest should be performed before mixing commercial quantities of Resource when using Resource for the first 

time, when using new adjuvants, or when a new water source is being used. 

1. Add 1 pt. of the water to a quart jar. The water should be from the same source and temperature as will be 

used in the spray tank mixing operation. 

2. Add 1 ml of Resource to the quart jar, gently mix until product disSipates. 

3. Add 6 ml (1 tsp.) of the crop oil concentrate'or methylated seed oil to the quart jar, gently mix. If a non-ionic 

surfactant is being used in a tank mix, add 2.5 ml (0.3 tsp.) of the non-ionic surfactant in place of the oil. 

4. If nitrogen is being used, add 16 ml (1 tbsp. or 0.5 oz.) of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the quart jar. If 

ammonium sulfate is being used, add 19 gms AMS to the quart jar in place of the 28 to 32% nitrogen. 

Ammonium sulfate should be added to the jar before the Resource in step 2. 

5. Place cap on jar, invert 10 times, let stand for 15 minutes, evaluate. 

6. An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform and free of suspended particles. If any of the following 

conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: 

a) Layer of oil or globules on the mixture's surface. 

b) Flocculation: fine particles in suspension or as a layer on the bottom of the jar. 

c) Clabbering: Thickening texture (coagulated) like gelatin.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Fill spray tank with water 1/3 to 1/2 of desired level with clean water. 

2. While agitating, add the required amount of Resource. Agitation should create a rippling or rolling action on 

the water surface. If tank mixing Resource with other labeled pest'ickles, add water soluble bags first, followed 

by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture 

than is required for the immediate spray operation. 

3. Add any required adjuvants. 

4. Add any required nitrogen source, unless ammonium sulfate (AMS) Is being used. If AMS is being used as the 

nitrogen source, it should be added after water soluble bags and before dry pesticides. 

5. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should continue until spray solution has been applied. 

6. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Resource will remain active in the 

spray solution for 12 hours. 

APPLlCATJON EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment should be clean and in good repak. Nozzles should be uniformly spaced on boom and 

frequently checked for accuracy. Ground speed should not exceed 10 mph to provide proper spray coverage. 

Boom height, ground speed, and pressure recommendations, should not exceed those recommended by the spray 

nozzle manufacturer for the type and size of nozzle being used. Improper use of the selected spray nozzle will 

adversely affect the spray pattern, prevent proper coverage of weed leaf surface, and reduce weed control. Refer 

to the manufacturer's spray chart for nozzle selection and operating information. Special attention should be given 

to preparing and operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of weed foliage. 

BROADCAST APPLICATION 

Apply Resource and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped 

with flat fan (Including split-nozzle systems which spray in opposite directions) or hollow cone nozzles designed to 

deliver the des ked spray pressure and spray volume. DO NOT USE flood nozzles. Thorough weed coverage is 

required for optimum control. Spray nozzles should be centered at a maximum of 20 inch spacing to provide 

adequate coverage. 

CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE 

Use Resource on a broadcast bas'ls in a minimum of 15 gals. of water per acre and a spray pressure of 35 to 60 

PSI measured at the spray nozzle. If weed populations are moderate to heavy and/or weeds are approaching 

maximum label size and/or crop canopy is dense, use a minimum of 20 GPA of water and a spray pressure of 40 

to 50 PSI. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure recommendation for 

postemergence herbicide application. 

BAND APPLICATION 

When banding, use proportionately less water and Resource per acre. Banding equipment should be adjusted to 

provide maximum coverage of weeds in the row. A minimum of two nozzles per rOW is requked to provide optimum 

coverage of weed foliage. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

To obtain satisfactory performance with aerial application of Resource, use as part of a labeled tank mix. Uniform 

coverage must be obtained. To obtain satisfactory application and avoid drift, the following directions must be 

observed: 

• Do not apply more than 8 flo oz.lA by air in a single application. 

Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure 

Use Resource in 7 to 10 gals./A of water for spring burndown programs. Use Resource in 5 to 10 gals.lA of 

water for defoliation. Application at less than recommended volume may provide inadequate results. The 

higher gallonage applications generally result in more consistent performance. 

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle configurations which dispense 

spray as fine droplets. Use the largest droplet size possible that provides sufficient coverage and control. Use 

nozzles which produce flat or hollOW cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles, such as diaphragm-type 

8 
17

diaphragm-type nozzles to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. 

Do not angle nozzles forward into the air stream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle 

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0° and 15° 

downward. 

Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives 

Refer to tank mix partner's label for adjuvant recommendation. Drift control additives may be used. When a 

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information 

appearing on the additive label. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Do not allow spray from ground or aerial eqUipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops. 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 factors involved in minimizing drift potential. 

The following aerial drift reduction advisory information must be followed to avoid off-target drift 

movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 

1. Do not spray if wind speed is greater than 10 mph. If sensitive crops or plants are downwind, extreme 

caution must be used under all conditions, 

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

rotor. 

3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 

more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 

4. Do not apply under conditions involving possible drift to food, forage or other plantings that might be 

damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. 

5. When making tank mixture applications follow the most restrictive label directions, including 

application buffer zones, of each product in the mixture. 

Importance of Droplet Size 

The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. 

Use nozzle types and nozzle arrangements that will provide maximum coverage and minimize the potential for 

off target movement of spray particles. Droplet size for both ground and air applications should be in the 

"medium" size category as defined in the August 1999 ASAE 3572 publication entitled, "Spray Nozzle 

Classification by Droplet Spectra H

• Refer to that publication for additional information. Regardless of droplet 

size, if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target movement 

will occur. (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections of this label). 

Controlling Droplet size 

Volume for aerial application: use Resource in 7 to 10 gals/A of water for spring burndown programs and 5 to 

10 gals.!A of water for defoliation. 

Volume for ground application: use Resource at a minimum of 10 gals./A of water. 

Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medium. droplets to apply the highest practical spray volume. 

Applications at minimum recommended volume may provide inadequate results. The higher gallonage 

application generally provides more consistent performance. 

Pressure: use a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSI for aerial application and 50 PSI for ground application. 

Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle and do not exceed the manufacturer's 

recommended pressure. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. 

When higher flow rates 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 orientation: orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream will 

produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection of the nozzle from the horizontal will 

9 
18

reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. Do not use air inducting or flood 

type nozzles. 

Application: applications should 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 applications at the lowest height that is safe 

reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath 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 adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, 

smaller drops, etc.). 

Wind 

Variable wind speeds with changing directions may pose the largest potential for drift damage in areas that are 

adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 8 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 direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain 

can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect 

drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

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

for evaporation but they still should remain with'ln the medium droplet size category. Droplet evaporation 'IS 

most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions _ 

Do not spray at times when spray particles may be entrained into a temperature inversion layer. If inversion 

conditions are suspected, consult with local weather services before making an application. Applications 

should not occur during temperature inversion, because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict 

vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspendep 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 that layers and moves 

laterally in a connected cloud (under low wind conqitions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves 

upwards and rapidly diSSipates indicates good vertIcal air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide should 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). 

Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions: when wind·s are gusty or under any other condition that 

favors drift. Do no spray when drift is possible or when wind velocity is less than 2 or more than 10 mph. 

Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which application is not intended. To prevent injury to 

adjacent desirable vegetation, appropriate buffer zones must be maintained. 

Do not apply this product within 40 feet of non-target plants including non-target crops. 

Do not apply this product within 70 feet of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. 

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Use nozzle types that are designed for the application. The nozzle must be directed towards the rear of the 

aircraft, at" an angle between 00 and 150 downward, do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the wing or rotor. 

10 
19

APPLICATION AND CULTIVATION 

Do not cultivate prior to or during application. Do not generate excessive dust while spraying. Excessively dusty 

conditions may interfere with the coverage of the weed leaf surface by the spray solution. A timely cultivation 

approximately one week after application will assist in weed control. 

SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS 

A sequential application of Resource can be made after a minimum of 14 days have passed following the first 

application of Resource to control new flushes of susceptible weeds in field corn and soybeans. 

CROP FAILURE 

If the crop treated with Resource is lost due to a catastrophe, such as hail or other forms of inclement weather, 

refer to crop Rotational Restrictions below. 

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS 

1. Do not rotate to crops other than soybeans or field corn within 30 days after last Resource Herbicide 

application, 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Resource is a Group 14 Herbicide, Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to 

herbicides in various mode of action classes. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population 

if the same class of chemistry/mode of action herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive 

years. These resistant biotypes may not be adequately controlled by herbicides in a mode of action class for 

which resistance has developed. A gradual or total loss of weed control may occur over time, Other resistance 

mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate 

resistance management strategies should be followed. 

TO DELAY HERBICIDE RESISTANCE 

• Avoid the use of herbicides that have a similar target site mode of action in consecutive years. 

• Herbicide use should be based on an Integrated Pest Management (lPM) program that includes scouting, 

record keeping, and consideration of cultivation practices, water management, weed free crop seed, crop 

rotation, and other chemical or cultural practices. 

• Monitor treated weed population for resistance development and report suspected resistance. 

• Contact your local extension or crop expert (advisor) for any additional pesticide resistance management 

and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. 

• For further information contact Valent U.S.A. Corporation at the following toll free number 1-800-682-5368. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SPRING BURNDOWN PROGRAMS (Prior to crop emergence in cotton, field 

corn and soybean) 

Resource, at 2 to 4 fl. oz.lA, can be used in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to help control 

emerged weeds prior to crop emergence. The addition of Resource to burndown herbicides such as 

glyphosate and 2,4-D has been shown to increase the speed of control of many weeds as well as increase 

overall burndown of Carolina geranium, cutleaf evening primrose and smartweeds. Refer to glyphosate and/or 

2,4-D labels for weeds controlled and rotational restrictions.

20

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN 

• Do not use Resource on popcorn or sweet corn, 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO FIELD CORN 

• Do not apply Resource to field corn before the 2~leaf or after the 10-leaf stage. 

• Do not apply more than 6 fl. oz./A of Resource in a single broadcast application or more than a total of 8 flo 

oz.lA to field corn during a single growing season. 

• As a directed spray using drop nozzles, do not apply more than a total of 8 fl. azJA of Resource to field corn in 

a single application or during a single grOWing season. 

• Do not graze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource can be used on field corn grown for commercial seed production. However, do not apply Resource to 

seed corn without first verifying with your seed corn supplier the Resource selectivity on your inbred line. This 

precaution will help avoid potential injury on sensitive varieties. Use on inbred lines or other genetic material used 

in a breeding program is done at the sole risk of the user. 

TIMING TO FIELD CORN 

Resource may be applied to field corn from the 2~leaf through the 1 O-Ieaf stage. Determine the leaf stage of corn 

by counting only those leaves with leaf collars visible. A temporary crop response may be observed following a 

postemergence broadcast application of Resource. Corn quickly outgrows all initial herbicide effects. When 

Resource is used as directed, corn yields will not be adversely affected. 

TIMING TO WEEDS 

Identify weed species as early as possible. Recommended rates, weed species and maximum weed heights for 

effective control with Resource as a stand alone broadcast or drop nozzle application are indicated in Table 1. 

Recommended tank mixes are listed in Table 2. 

DROP NOZZLE APPLICATIONS 

Drop nozzle application should be made after corn has reached a sufficient height for the spray to be directed 

beneath the corn leaves or when corn leaves prevent proper spray coverage of weeds. When making a drop 

nozzle application, the rate of crop oil concentrate. should be 1 qUA. Since the activity of Resource is enhanced 

when the 1 qUA rate of crop oil concentrate is used, care must be taken to minimize exposure of corn leaves to the 

spray. Do not apply Resource directly into the corn whorl when making a post directed application.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VOLUNTEER COTTON CONTROL WITH RESOURCE 

Volunteer Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Cotton Stag Rate High Rate fl. oz.lacre 

Conventional Varieties to 2-leaf 6 8 

Roundup Ready 

Libertv Link 

Apply under favorable soil mo'lsture and humidity, which exists within a few days after rainfall or within 7 

days after irrigation. 

Apply at growth stage indicated on the label, as reduced control can be expected with more mature 

volunteer cotton. 

Use the high rate under heavy volunteer cotton pressure and/or when cotton is more mature. 

Always add a crop oil concentrate at 1 qUA by ground to the finished spray volume. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN COTTON 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

[sentenced moved to Rate of Application] 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO COTTON 

• As a broadcast treatment, do not apply more than 8 fl. oz.lA at Resource in a single application or more 

than a total of 14 fl. oz.lA to cotton in a single growing season. 

• Do not apply Resource if rain is expected within 1 hour of application. 

• Do not graze an'lmals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply Resource and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers. Thorough 

coverage is required for optimum burndown or defoliation. Special attention should be given to preparing and 

operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of cotton leaf surfaces when using Resource. Avoid the 

use of air induction nozzles. 

Use Resource on a broadcast basis in a minimum of 10 gals. of water per acre and a spray pressure of 40 to 50 

PSI measured at the spray nozzle. For best results, use a minimum of 15 to 20 GPA of water and a spray pressure 

of 50 PSI, measured at the nozzle if cotton densitY: is moderate to heavy. 

DIRECTION FOR USE IN COTTON DEFOLIATION 

TIME OF APPLICATION 

Resource should be applied to cotton when at least 60 percent of the bolls are open. 

RATE OF APPLICATION 

Up to eight (8) fl. oz. per acre of Resource are required for defoliation. An additional six (6) fl. oz. per acre of 

Resource can be applied seven days after the first if additional defoliation is required. Good coverage ot cotton is 

essential for maximum defoliation.

USE DIRECTIONS· 

RATE OF APPLICATION TIMING OF APPLICATION 

Region 1: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee (east of Tennessee 

River) and VirgInia. 

4 to 8 flo oz.lA At least 60% of bolls open 

An additional 4 to 6 fl. oz.lA can be used 7 days after the 

first if additional defoliation is needed. 

Region 2: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, 

Tennessee (\'Vest of Tennessee River) and Texas 

6 to 8 fl. oz.lA At least 60% of bolls open 

An additional 4 to 6 flo oz.lA can be used 7 days after the 

first jf additional defoliation is needed. 

ADDITIVES 

Resource must be applied with 1 to 2 pt.lA crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil. The crop oil concentrate or 

methylated seed oil must contain at least 15% emulsifier. Under ideal defoliation conditions (warm sunny days) a 

non-ionic surfactant may be substituted for crop oil concentrate. Mixing and compatibility qualities should be 

verified by ajartest. A spray grade nitrogen fertilizer solution (28-32% N) at 1 to 2 qts.lA or spray grade ammonium 

sulfate at 2.0 to 2.5 Ibs.lA may be added to enhance defoliatlon. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with one-half of the total amount of water to be used, begin agitation, add Resource, add 

adjuvant(s), and then fill spray tank to final level. 

TANK MIXES 

Boll Openers 

Resource can be tank mixed with boll openers, such as ethephon (Prep®, Finish®), to assist in harvest 

preparation. 

Regrowth Preventers 

Resource can be tank mixed with regrowth preventers. 

Defoliants/Desiccants 

Resource can be tank mixed with other defoliants and/or desiccants to aid in harvesting. Resource can be tank 

mixed with CottonQuick®, Dropp®, Finish, Ginstar®, Harvade® or other registered cotton harvest aid products. 

A jar compatibility test should be conducted befoie tank mixing Resource with any other product until the user is 

confident in the tank mix partners compatibility with Resource. When tank mixing Resource with other products, 

add the least soluble product first (WP & WDG>EC>solutions). 

MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS 

A maximum of2 applications of Resource can be made provided no more than 14 fl. oz. are applied during a single 

growing season and no more than 8 fl. oz. per acre is applied during a single application. 

The recommended treatment regimen is to apply 4 to 8 fl. oz. per acre during the first application and if a second 

application is necessary, an additional 4 to 6 fl. oz: per acre can be applied seven days after the first application.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource Herbicide is a selective herbicide for postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds in field com 

and soybeans. 

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 

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

Do not make more than two applications per acre per season. 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

For best results, Resource should be applied to actively growing weeds within the growth stages indicated in this 

label. Applying Resource under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide 

effectiveness. Do not apply Resource when the crop or weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, 

extremes in temperature, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to 

herbicidal action. Resource is most effect'lve when applied under sunny conditions at temperatures above 70°F. 

RAINFASTNESS 

Resource is rainfast one hour after application. Applications should not be made if rain is expected within one hour 

of application or efficacy may be reduced. 

ADDITIVES 

Control of weeds by Resource requires the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. 

Either a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil, which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil, may be 

used when applying Resource. Certain tank mixes require the use of a non-ionic surfactant. Non-ionic surfactant 

must contain at least 80% active ingredient and must be EPA approved for use on food crops. Mixing and 

compatibility qualities should be verified by a jar test. 

A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium sulfate at 2.0to 2.5 Ibs./A or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at t to 2 

qts'/A) may be added to the spray mixture along with eith'er crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or non-ionic 

suriactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for crop oil 

concentrate, methylated seed oil, or non-ionic suriactant. 

JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

Ajar test should be periormed before mixing commercial quantities of Resource when using Resource for the first 

time, when using new adjuvants, or when a new water source is being used. 

1. Add 1 pt. of the water to a quart jar. The water should be from the same source and temperature as will be 

used in the spray tank mixing operation. 

2. Add 1 ml of Resource to the quart jar, gently. mix until product dissipates. 

3. Add 6 ml (1 tsp.) of the crop oil concentrate of meth~ated seed oil to the quart jar, gently mix. If a non-ionic 

suriactant is being used in a tank mix, add 2.5 ml (0.3 tsp.) of the non-ionic surfactant in place of the oil. 

4. If nitrogen is being used, add 16 ml (1 tbsp. or 0.5 oz.) of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the quart jar. If 

ammonium sulfate is being used, add 19 gms AMS to the quart jar in place of the 28 to 32% nitrogen. 

Ammonium sulfate should be added to the jar before the Resource in step 2. 

5. Place cap on jar, invert 10 times, let stand for 15 minutes, evaluate. 

6. An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform and free of suspended particles. If any of the following 

conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: 

a) Layer of oil or globules on the mixture's suriace. 

b) Flocculation: fine particles in suspension or as a layer on the bottom of the jar. 

c) Clabbering: Thickening texture (coagulated) like gelatin.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

t. Fill spray tank with water t/3 to 1/2 of desired level with clean water. 

2. While agitating, add the required amount of Resource. Agitation should create a rippling or rolling action on 

the water surface. If tank mixingResQurce with other labeled pesticides, add water soluble bags first, followed 

by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more spray mixture 

than is required for the immediate spray operation. 

3. Add any required adjuvants. 

4. Add any required nitrogen source, unless ammonium sulfate (AMS) is being used. If AMS is being used as the 

nitrogen source, it should be added after water soluble bags and before dry pesticides. 

5. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should continue until spray solution has been applied. 

6. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Resource will remain active in the 

spray solution for 12 hours. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment should be clean and in good repair. Nozzles should be uniformly spaced on boom and 

frequently checked for accuracy. Ground speed should not exceed 10 mph to provide proper spray coverage. 

Boom height, ground speed, and pressure recommendations, should not exceed those recommended by the spray 

nozzle manufacturer for the type and size of nozzle being used. Improper use of the selected spray nozzle will 

adversely affect the spray pattern, prevent proper coverage of weed leaf surface, and reduce weed control. Refer 

to the manufacturer's spray chart for nozzle select.ion and operating information. Special attention should be given 

to preparing and operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of weed foliage. 

BROADCAST APPLICATION 

ApplyResource and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers equipped 

with flat fan (including split-nozzle systems which spray in opposite directions) or hollow cone nozzles designed to 

deliver the desired spray pressure and spray volume. DO NOT USE flood nozzles. Thorough weed coverage is 

required for optimum control. Spray nozzles should be centered at a maximum of 20 inch spacing to provide 

adequate coverage. 

CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE. 

Use Resource on a broadcast basis in a minimum' of 15 gals. of water per acre and a spray pressure of 35 to 60 

PSI measured at the spray nozzle. If weed popu'lations are moderate to heavy and/or weeds are approaching 

maximum label size and/or crop canopy is dense:use a minimum of 20 GPA of water and a spray pressure of 40 

to 50 PSI. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure recommendation for 

postemergence herbicide application. 

BAND APPLICATION 

When banding, use proportionately less water and Resource per acre. Banding equipment should be adjusted to 

provide maximum coverage of weeds in the row. A minimum of two nozzles per row is required to provide optimum 

coverage of weed foliage. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

To obtain satisfactory performance with aerial application of Resource, use as part of a labeled tank mix. Uniform 

coverage must be obtained. To obtain satisfactory application and avoid drift, the following directions must be 

observed: 

• Do not apply more than 8 fl. oz./A by air in a slngle application. 

Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure 

Use Resource in 7 to to gals./A of water for spring burndown programs. Use Resource in 5 to to gals./A of 

water for defoliation. Application at less than recommended volume may provide inadequate results. The 

higher gallonage applications generally result in more consistent performance. 

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle configurations which dispense 

spray as fine droplets. Use the largest droplet size possible that provides sufficient coverage and control. Use 

nozzles which produce flat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles, such as diaphragm-type 

B 
39

diaphragm-type nozzles to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. 

Do not angle nozzles forward into the air stream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle 

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0° and 15° 

downward. 

Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives 

Refer to tank mix partner's label for adjuvant recommendation. Drift control additives may be used. When a 

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information 

appearing on the additive label. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Do not allow spray from ground or aerial equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops. 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 factors involved in minimizing drift potential. 

The following aerial drift reduction adviSOry information must be followed to avoid off-target drift 

movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 

1. Do not spray if wind speed is greater than 10 mph. If sensitive crops or plants are downwind, extreme 

caution must be used under all conditions. 

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

rotor. 

3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 

more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 

4. Do not apply under conditions involving possible drift to food, forage or other plantings that might be 

damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. 

5. When making tank mixture applications follow the most restrictive label directions, including 

application buffer zones, of each product in the mixture. 

Importance of Droplet Size 

The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. 

Use nozzle types and nozzle arrangements that will provide maximum coverage and minimize the potential for 

off target movement of spray particles. Droplet size for both ground and air applications should be in the 

"medium" size category as defined in the August 1999 ASAE SS72 publication entitled, "Spray Nozzle 

Classification by Droplet Spectra". Refer to that publication for additional information. Regardless of droplet 

size, if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target movement 

will occur. (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity,~and Temperature Inversion sections of this label). 

Controlling Droplet size 

Volume for aerial application: use Resource in 7 to 10 gals/A of water for spring burndown programs and 5 to 

10 galsJA of water for defoliation. 

Volume for ground application: use Resource at a minimum of 10 galsJA of water. 

Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medium droplets to apply the highest practical spray volume. 

Applications at minimum recommended volume may provide inadequate results. The higher gallonage 

application generally provides more consistent performance. 

Pressure: use a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSI for aerial application and 50 PSI for ground application. 

Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle and do not exceed the manufacturer's 

recommended pressure. Higher pressure reduces'droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. 

When higher flow rates 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 orientation: orienting nozzles sO that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream will 

produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection of the nozzle from the horizontal will 

9 
40

reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. Do not use air inducting or flood 

type nozzles. 

Application: applications should 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 applications at the lowest height that is safe 

reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath 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 adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential {higher wind, 

smaller drops, etc.}. 

Wind 

Variable wind speeds with changing directions may pose the largest potential for drift damage in areas that are 

adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 8 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 direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain 

can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect 

drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

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

for evaporation but they still should remain within the medium droplet size category. Droplet evaporation is 

most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

Do not spray at times when spray particles may be entrained into a temperature inversion layer. If inversion 

conditions are suspected, consult with local weather services before making an application. Applications 

should not occur during 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 limlted 

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 that layers and moves 

laterally in a connected cloud {under low wind cohditions} indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves 

upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide should 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). 

Do not apply during low-level inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or under any other condition that 

favors drift. Do no spray when drift is possible or When wind velocity is less than 2 or more than 10 mph. 

Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which application is not intended. To prevent injury to 

adjacent desirable vegetation, appropriate buffer zones must be maintained. 

Do not apply this product within 40 feet of non-target plants including non-target crops. 

Do not apply this product within 70 feet of streams, wetlands, marshes, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. 

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Use nozzle types that are designed for the application. The nozzle must be directed towards the rear of the 

aircraft, at an angle between 00 and 150 downward, do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the wing or rotor. 

10 
41

APPLICATION AND CULTIVATION 

Do not cultivate prior to or during application. Do not generate excessive dust while spraying. Excessively dusty 

conditions may interiere with the coverage of the weed leaf surtace by the spray solution. A timely cultivation 

approximately one week after application will assist in weed control. 

SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS 

A sequential application of Resource can be made after a minimum of 14 days have passed following the first 

application of Resource to control new flushes of susceptible weeds in field corn and soybeans. 

CROP FAILURE 

If the crop treated with Resource is lost due to a catastrophe, such as hail or other forms of inclement weather, 

refer to crop Rotational Restrictions below. 

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS 

1. Do not rotate to crops other than soybeans or field corn within 30 days after last Resource Herbicide 

application. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Resource is a Group 14 Herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to 

herbicides in various mode of action classes. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population 

if the same class of chemistry/mode of action herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive 

years. These resistant biotypes may not be adequately controlled by herbicides in a mode of action class for 

which resistance has developed. A gradual or total loss of weed control may occur over time. Other resistance 

mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate 

resistance management strategies should be followed. 

TO DELAY HERBICIDE RESISTANCE 

• Avoid the use of herbicides that have a similar target site mode of action in consecutive years. 

• Herbicide use should be based on an Integrated Pest Management (I PM) program that includes scouting, 

record keeping, and consideration of cultivation practices, water management, weed free crop seed, crop 

rotation, and other chemical or cultural practices. 

• Monitor treated weed population for resistance development and report suspected resistance. 

• Contact your local extension or crop expert (advisor) for any additional pesticide resistance management 

and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. 

• For further information contact Valent U.S.A. Corporation at the following toll free number t-800-682-5368. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SPRING BURN DOWN PROGRAMS (Prior to crop emergence in cotton, field 

corn and soybean) 

Resource, at 2 to 4 fl. oz'/A, can be used in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to help control 

emerged weeds prior to crop emergence. The addition of Resource to burndown herbicides such as 

glyphosate and 2,4-D has been shown to increase the speed of control of many weeds as well as increase 

overall burndown of Carolina geranium, cutleaf evening primrose and smartweeds. Refer to glyphosate and/or 

2,4-D labels for weeds controlled and rotational restrictions. 

11 
42

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN 

• Do not use Resource on popcorn or sweet corn. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO FIELD CORN 

• Do not apply Resource to field corn before the 2~leaf or after the to-leaf stage. 

• Do not apply more than 6 fl. oz./A of Resource in a single broadcast application or more than a total of 8 fl. 

oz./A to field corn during a single growing season. 

• As a directed spray using drop nozzles, do not apply more than a total of 8 fl. oz./A of Resource to field corn in 

a single application or during a single growing season. 

• Do not graze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource can be used on field corn grown for commercial seed production. However, do not apply Resource to 

seed corn without first verifying with your seed corn supplier the Resource selectivity on your inbred line. This 

precaution will help avoid potential injury on sensitive varieties. Use on inbred lines or other genetic material used 

in a breeding program is done at the sole risk of the user. 

TIMING TO FIELD CORN 

Resource may be applied to field corn from the 2~leaf through the 10~leaf stage. Determine the leaf stage of corn 

by counting only those leaves with leaf collars visible. A temporary crop response may be observed following a 

postemergence broadcast application of Resource. Corn quickly outgrows all initial herbicide effects. When 

Resource is used as directed, corn yields will not be adversely affected. 

TIMING TO WEEDS 

Identify weed species as early as possible. Recommended rates, weed species and maximum weed heights for 

effective control with Resource as a stand alone broadcast or drop nozzle application are indicated in Table t. 

Recommended tank mixes are listed in Table 2: 

DROP NOZZLE APPLICATIONS 

Drop nozzle application should be made after corn has reached a sufficient height for the spray to be directed 

beneath the corn leaves or when corn leaves prevent proper spray coverage of weeds. When making a drop 

nozzle application, the rate of crop oil concentrate should be 1 qt./A. Since the activity of Resource is enhanced 

when the 1 qt./A rate of crop oil concentrate is used, care must be taken to minimize exposure of corn leaves to the 

spray. Do not apply Resource directly into the corn whorl when making a post directed application.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VOLUNTEER COTTON CONTROL WITH RESOURCE 

Volunteer Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Cotton Stag Rate High Rate fl. oz./acre 

Conventional Varieties to 2-leaf 6 8 

Roundup Ready 

Libertv Link 

Apply under favorable soil moisture and humidity, which exists within a few days after rainfall or within 7 

days after irrigation. 

Apply at growth stage indicated on the label, as reduced control can be expected with more mature 

volunteer cotton. 

Use the high rate under heavy volunteer cotton pressure and/or when cotton is more mature. 

Always add a crop oil concentrate at 1 qt./A by qround to the finished spray volume. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN COTTON 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

[sentenced moved to Rate of Application] 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO COTTON 

As a broadcast treatment, do not apply more than 8 fl. oz./A of Resource in a single application or more 

than a total of 14 fl. oz./A to cotton in a single growing season. 

• Do not apply Resource if rain is expected within 1 hour of application. 

• Do not graze animals on green forage or use,as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply Resource and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers. Thorough 

coverage is required for optimum burndown or defoliation. Special attention should be given to preparing and 

operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of cotton leaf surfaces when using Resource. Avoid the 

use of air induction nozzles. 

Use Resource on a broadcast basis in a minimum of 10 gals. of water per acre and a spray pressure of 40 to 50 

PSI measured at the spray nozzle. For best results",.use a minimum of 15 to 20 GPA of water and a spray pressure 

of 50 PSI, measured at the nozzle if cotton density is moderate to heavy. 

DIRECTION FOR USE IN COTTON DEFOLIATION 

TIME OF APPLICATION 

Resource should be applied to cotton when at least 60 percent of the bolls are open. 

RATE OF APPLICATION 

Up to eight (8) fl. oz. per acre of Resource are required for defoliation. An additional six (6) fl. oz. per acre of 

Resource can be applied seven days after the first if additional defoliation is required. Good coverage of cotton is 

essential for maximum defoliation.

USE DIRECTIONS-- RATE OF APPLICATION TIMING OF APPLICATION 

Region 1: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee (east of Tennessee 

River) and Virainia. 

4to8fl.ozJA At least 60% of bolls open 

An additional 4 to 6 fl. oz./A can be used 7 days after the 

first if additional defoliation is needed. 

Region 2: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma\ 

Tennessee (west of Tennessee River) and Texas 

6 to 8 fl. oz./A At least 60% of bolls open 

An additional 4 to 6 fl. oz./A can be used 7 days after the 

first if additional defoliation is needed. 

ADDITIVES 

Resource must be applied with t to 2 pt./A crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil. The crop oil concentrate or 

methylated seed all must contain at least 15% emulsifier. Under ideal defoliation conditions (warm sunny days) a 

non-ionic surfactant may be substituted for crop oil concentrate. Mixing and compatibflfty qualities should be 

verified by a jar test. A spray grade nitrogen fertilizer solution (28-32% N) at 1 to 2 qts./A or spray grade ammonium 

sulfate at 2.0 to 2.5 Ibs./A may be added to enhance defoliation. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with one-half of the total amount of water to be used, begin agitation, add Resource, add 

adjuvant(s), and then fill spray tank to final level. 

TANK MIXES 

Boll Openers 

Resource can be tank mixed with boll openers, such as ethephon (Prep®, Finish®), to assist in harvest 

preparation. 

Regrowth Preventers 

Resource can be tank mixed with regrowth preventers. 

Defoliants/Desiccants 

Resource can be tank mixed with other defoliants and/or desiccants to aid in harvesting. Resource can be tank 

mixed with CottonQuick®, Dropp®, Finish, Ginstar®, Harvade® or other registered cotton harvest aid products. 

A jar compatibility test should be conducted before tank mixing Resource with any other product until the user is 

confident in the tank mix partners compatibility wit!:JResource. When tank mixing Resource with other products\ 

add the least soluble product first 0NP & WDG>EC>solutions). 

MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS 

A maximum of 2 applications of Resource can be made provided no more than 14 fl. oz. are applied during a single 

growing season and no more than 8 fl. oz. per acre is applied during a single application. 

The recommended treatment regimen is to apply 4 to 8 fl. oz. per acre during the first application and if a second 

application is necessary, an additional 4 to 6 fl. oz. per acre can be applied seven days after the first application. 

HARVEST TIMING 

Cotton can be harvested no sooner than seven (7) days after the last application of Resource.

INTORDUCTION: 

Registrant has submitted a basic CSF (dated 7/27/09) and an alternate CSF (dated 8/05/09) 

to support the registration of the end use product, Resource Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 

59639..s2). On May 16, 2008 the Agency granted approval of registrant's alternate CSF for 

Resource Herbicide, coded as VC-1747 (dated 2/07/08). Registrant now wishes to change 

the classification status of this CSF (dated 2/07/08) from alternate to basic, and cancel 

registrant's current basic CSF (dated 2/05/09). Registrant requests the new basic CSF 

retain its code identification number, VC-1747 but is now dated 7/27/09. Registrant asserts 

that there are no actual technical data that needs to be reviewed. 

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 

1. The proposed basic CSF (dated 7/27/09) and alternate CSF (dated 8/27/09) are both 

filled out correctly and completely. . 

2. The alternate CSF is in compliance with PR Notice 92-1 and Title 40 CFR § 152.43. All of 

the inert ingredients present in the formulation have been approved for food-use by the 

Agency under 40 CFR § 180.910. 

3. The upper and lower limits of the active and inert ingredients are in compliance with the 

statutory parameters recited in Title 4Q··CFR § 158.350 (b) (2). 

4. The nominal concentration of the active ingredient recited in the proposed basic 

CSF (dated 7/27/09) concurs with the product label claim of nominal concentration. 

5. The proposed alternate CSF (8/27/09) is-substantially similar in chemical composition 

and physical-chemical properties with the proposed basic CSF (7/27/09). 

CONCLUSIONS: 

1. The TRB has reviewed the proposed basis and alternate CSFs (respectively dated 

7/27109 and 8/27/09) and has detennined them acceptable. 

2. The basic CSF (dated 7/27/09) must replace the previously accepted CSF.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource Herbicide is a selective herbicide for postemergence control of susceptible broadleafweeds in field 

corn and soybeans. 

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 

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

Do not make more than two applications per acre per season. 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

For best results, Resource should be applied to actively growing weeds within the growth stages indicated in this 

label. Applying Resource under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide 

effectiveness. Do not apply Resource when the crop or weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive water, 

extremes in temperature, disease or low humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become less susceptible to 

herbicidal action. Resource is most effective when applied under sunny conditions at temperatures above 70°F. 

RAINFASTNESS 

Resource is rainfast one hour after application. Applications should not be made if rain is expected within one 

hour of application or efficacy may be reduced. 

ADDITIVES 

Control of weeds by Resource requires the addiflon of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray mixture. 

Either a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed olj, which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% oil, may be 

used when applying Resource. Certain tank mixes require the use of a non-ionic surfactant. Non-ionic surfactant 

must contain at least 80% active ingredient and -must be EPA approved for use on food crops. Mixing and 

compatibility qualities should be verified by a jar test. 

A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium_sulfate at 2.0 to 2.51bs.lA or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 

to 2 qts.!A) may be added to the spray mixture along with either crop oil concentrate, methylated seed oil or nonionic surfactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replace the need for crop 

oil concentrate, methylated seed oil, or non-ionic-surfactant. 

JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

Ajar test should be performed before mixing commercial quantities of Resource when using Resource for the 

first time, when using new adjuvants, or when a new water source is being used. 

1. 

2. 

3. 

4. 

5. 

6. 

Add 1 pt. of the water to a quart jar. The water should be from the same source and temperature as will be 

used in the spray tank mixing operation. 

Add 1 ml of Resource to the quart jar, gently·mix until product dissipates. 

Add 6 ml (1 tsp.) of the crop oil concentrate 06methylated seed oil to the quart jar, gently mix. If a non-ionic 

surfactant is being used in a tank mix, add·2.5 ml (0.3 tsp.) of the non-ionic surfactant in place of the oil. 

If nitrogen is being used, add 16 ml (1 tbsp. or 0.5 oz.) of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the quart jar. If 

ammonium sulfate is being used, add 19 gms AMS to the quart jar in place of the 28 to 32% nitrogen. 

Ammonium sulfate should be added to the jar before the Resource in step 2. 

Place cap on jar, invert 10 times, let stand for 15 minutes, evaluate. 

An ideal tank mix combination will be uniform and free of suspended particles. If any of the following 

conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: ' ,~" 

a) Layer of oil or globules on the mixture's surface. ,. >. 

b) Flocculation: fine particles in suspension or as a layer on the bottom of the jar. ' ;'! 

c) Clabbering: Thickening texture (coagulated) like gelatin. • , , , ) " , "

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Fill spray tank with water 1/3 to 1/2 of desired level with clean water. 

2. While agitating, add the required amount of Resource. Agitation should create a rippling or rolling action on 

the water surface. If tank mixing Resource with other labeled pesticides, add water soluble bags first, 

followed by dry formulations, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more 

spray mixture than is required for the immediate spray operation. 

3. Add any required adjuvants. 

4. Add any required nitrogen source, unless ammonium sulfate (AMS) is being used. If AMS is being used as 

the nitrogen source, it should be added after water soluble bags and before dry pesticides. 

5. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should continue until spray solution has been applied. 

6. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Resource wi!! remain active in 

the spray solution for 12 hours. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment should be clean and in good repair. Nozzles should be uniformly spaced on boom and 

frequently checked for accuracy. Ground speed should not exceed 10 mph to provide proper spray coverage. 

Boom height, ground speed, and pressure recommendations, should not exceed those recommended by the 

spray nozzle manufacturer for the type and size of nozzle being used. Improper use of the selected spray nozzle 

will adversely affect the spray pattern, prevent proper coverage of weed leaf surface, and reduce weed control. 

Refer to the manufacturer's spray chart for nozzle selection and operating information. Special attention should 

be given to preparlng and operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of weed foliage. 

BROADCAST APPLICATION 

Apply Resource and Resource tank mixes with ground eqUipment using standard commercial sprayers 

equipped with flat fan (including split-nozzle systems which spray in opposite directions) or hollow cone nozzles 

designed to deliver the desired spray pressure and spray volume. DO NOT USE flood nozzles. Thorough weed 

coverage is required for optimum control. Spray nozzles should be centered ata maximum of20 inch spacing to 

provide adequate coverage. 

CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE 

Use Resource on a broadcast basis in a minimum of 15 gals. of water per acre and a spray pressure of35 to 60 

PSI measured at the spray nozzle. If weed populations are moderate to heavy and/or weeds are approaching 

maximum label size and/or crop canopy is dense, use a minimum of 20 GPA of water and a spray pressure of 

40 to 50 PSI. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure recommendation for 

postemergence herbicide application. 

BAND APPLICATION 

When banding, use proportionately less water and Resource per acre. Banding eqUipment should be adjusted to 

provide maximum coverage of weeds in the row. A minimum of two nozzles per row is required to provide 

optimum coverage of weed foliage. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

To obtain satisfactory performance with aerlal application of Resource, use as part of a labeled tank mix. 

Uniform coverage must be obtained. To obtain satisfactory application and avoid drift, the following directions 

must be observed: 

• Do not apply more than 8 fl. oz.lA by air in a single application.

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

, " " , '" , 

Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle configurationswhiqtttJisp!3:nse 

spray as fine droplets. Use the largest droplet size possible that provides sufficient coverage and Cbntroi. 

Use nozzles which produce flat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles: '$c.h as 

" , 8 
81

diaphragm~type nozzles to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. 

Do not angle nozzles forward into the air stream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle 

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 0° and 15° 

downward. 

Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives 

Refer to tank mix partner's label for adjuvant recommendation. Drift control additives may be used. When a 

drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information 

appearing on the additive label. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Do not allow spray from ground or aerial equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops. 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 factors involved in minimizing drift potential. 

The following aerial drift reduction advisory information must be followed to avoid off~target drift 

movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 

1. Do not spray if wind speed is greater than 10 mph. If sensitive crops or plants are downwind, 

extreme caution must be used under all conditions. 

2. The distance of the outer most nozzles' on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan 

or rotor. 

3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 

more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 

4. Do not apply under conditions involving possible drift to food, forage or other plantings that might be 

damaged or the crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. 

5. When making tank mixture applications follow the most restrictive label directions, including 

application buffer zones, of each product in the mixture. 

Importance of Droplet Size 

The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and 

control. Use nozzle types and nozzle arrangements that will provide maximum coverage and minimize the 

potential for off target movement of spray particle.s. Droplet size for bolh ground and air applications should 

be in the "medium" size category as defined in the August 1999 ASAE SS72 publication entitled, "Spray 

Nozzle Classification by Droplet Spectra". Refer to that publication for additional information. Regardless of 

droplet size, if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target 

movement will occur. (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections of this 

label). 

Controlling Droplet size 

Volume for aerial application: use Resource in 7 to 10 gals/A of water for spring burn down programs and 5 

to 10 gals.lA of water for defoliation. 

Volume for ground application: use Resource at a minimum of 1 0 gals.lA of water. 

Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medium ~roplets to apply the highest practical spray volul11e.> >, • 

Applications at minimum recommended volume may provide inadequate results. The higher gallona!!C' ' 

application generally provides more consistent performance. "' ~. ~ 

" , 

Pressure: use a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSI for aerial application and 50 PSI fOr' ground applieation. 

U h j , ... ' , se t e lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle and do not exceed the manufacturel t,,, , , , > 

recommended pressure. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canoM penetration. 

When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing, I?~~~sure. '::::' , 

Number of nOZzles: use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverag~.' , , '" , 

Nozzle orientation: orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstre~m Will 

produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection of the nozzle from the horizontal'wijl 

9 
82

reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. Do not use air inducting or flood 

type nozzles. 

Application: applications should 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 applications at the lowest height that is 

safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath 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 adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher 

wind, smaller drops, etc,). 

Wind 

Variable wind speeds with changing directions may pose the largest potential for drift damage in areas that 

are adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 8 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 direction and high inversion 

potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator shOUld be familiar with local wind 

patterns and how they affect drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 

compensate for evaporation but they still should remain within the medium droplet size category. Droplet 

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

Temperature Inversions 

Do not spray at times when spray particles may be entrained into a temperature inversion layer. If inversion 

conditions are suspected, consult with local we.ather services before making an application. Applications 

should not occur during 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 that layers and moves laterally in a connected cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, white smoke that moves upwards and.r!3pidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

The pesticide should only be applied when the.potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., 

residential areas, bodies of water, known habitatJor threatened or endangered species, non~target 

crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Use nozzle types that are designed for the application. The nozzle must be directed towards the rear of the 

aircraft, at an angle between 0° and 15° downward, do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the wing or 

rotor. 

APPLICATION AND CULTIVATION 

Do not cultivate prior to or during application. Do not generate excessive dust while spraying. Excessively dusty 

conditions may interfere with the coverage of the weed leaf surface by the spray solution. A timely cultivation 

approximately one week after application will assist in weed control. 

SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS 

A sequential application of Resource can be made after a minimum of 14 days have passed follOWing the first 

application of Resource to control new flushes of susceptible weeds in field corn and soybeans. 

CROP FAILURE 

If the crop treated with Resource is lost due to a catastrophe, such as hail or other forms of inclementweather, 

refer to crop Rotational Restrictions below. 

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS 

1. Do not rotate to crops other than soybeans or field corn within 30 days after last Resource Herbicide 

application. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Resource is a Group 14 Herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to 

herbicides in various mode of action classes. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed 

population if the same class of chemistry/mode of action herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or 

in successive years. These resistant biotypes may not be adequately controlled by herbicides in a mode of 

action class for which resistance has developed. A gradual or total loss of weed control may occur over 

time. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, such as enhanced metabolism, may 

also exist. Appropriate resistance management st~ategies should be followed. 

TO DELAY HERBICIDE RESISTANCE 

• Avoid the use of herbicides that have a similar target site mode of action in consecutive years. 

• Herbicide use should be based on an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that includes 

scouting, record keeping, and consideration of cultivation practices, water management, weed free crop 

seed, crop rotation, and other chemical or cultural practices. 

• Monitor treated weed population for resistance development and report suspected resistance. 

• Contact your local extension or crop expert (advisor) for any additional pesticide resistance 

management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. 

• For further information contact Valent U.S.A. Gorporation at the following toll free number 1-800-682-

5368. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SPRING BURNDOWN.'·PROGRAMS (Prior to crop emergence in cotton, 

field corn and soybean) 

Resource, at 2 to 4 fl. oz.lA, can be used in combination with labeled burndown herbicides to help control 

emerged weeds prior to crop emergence. The addition of Resource to burndown herbicides such as 

glyphosate and 2,4-0 has been shown to increase .the speed of control of many weeds as weI! as increase 

overall burndown of Carolina geranium, cutleaf evening primrose and smartweeds. Refer to glyphosate' 

and/or 2,4-D labels for weeds controlled and rotational restrictions. ,a ; ~:

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN 

• Do not use Resource on popcorn or sweet corn. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO FIELD CORN 

• Do not apply Resource to field corn before the 2-leaf or after the 1 O-Ieaf stage. 

• Do not apply more than 6 fl. oz.lA of Resource in a single broadcast application or more than a total of 8 

fl. oz.lA to field corn during a single growing season. 

• As a directed spray using drop nozzles, do not apply more than a total of 8 fl. oz.lA of Resource to field corn 

in a single application or during a single growing season. 

• Do not graze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource can be used on field corn grown for commercial seed production. However, do not apply Resource to 

seed corn w'lthout first verifying with your seed com supplier the Resource selectivity on your inbred line. This 

precaution wi!! help avoid potential injury on sensitive varieties. Use on inbred lines or other genetic material 

used in a breeding program is done at the sale risk of the user. 

TIMING TO FIELD CORN 

Resource may be applied to field corn from the 2~I~af through the 1 O~leaf stage. Determine the leaf stage of corn 

by counting only those leaves with leaf collars visible. A temporary crop response may be observed following a 

postemergence broadcast application of Resource. Corn quickly outgrows all initial herbicide effects. When 

Resource is used as directed, corn yields wi!! not be adversely affected. 

TIMING TO WEEDS 

Identify weed species as early as possible. Recommended rates, weed species and maximum weed heights for 

effective control with Resource as a stand alone ,broadcast or drop nozzle application are indicated in Table 1. 

Recommended tank mixes are listed in Table 2. 

DROP NOZZLE APPLICATIONS 

Drop nozzle application should be made after corn has reached a sufficient height for the spray to be directed 

beneath the corn leaves or when corn leaves prev~nt proper spray coverage of weeds. When making a drop 

nozzle application, the rate of crop oil concentrate should be 1 qUA. Since the activity of Resource is enhanced 

when the 1 qUA rate of crop oil concentrate is used, care must be taken to minimize exposure of corn leaves to 

the spray. Do not apply Resource directly into the corn whorl when making a post directed application.
