INTORDUCTION: 

With a letter dated May 9, 2010 registrant, Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC has 

submitted a CSF amendment, Alt. NO.4 (dated 5/6/11) which changes an inert ingredient in the 

formulation. Registrant asserts that the alternate inerts are equivalent to a proprietary blend inert 

currently listed on the enclosed, approved CS'F Alt No.1 (dated 4/23/10). TRB has been asked to 

evaluate the proposed alternate No.4 CSF and determine its acceptability, 

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: 

1.The proposed alternate formulation contains the active ingredient 

. The nominal concentration of the active ingredient used in the 

proposed Alt. No.4 product is 45.50%. 

2. The proposed Alt. NO.4 CSF is in compliance with PR Notice 91-2 and Title 40 CFR § 152.43. 

The upper and lower limits of the active and inert ingredients are compliant with the statutory 

parameters recited in Title 40 CFR § 158.350 (b) (2). The nominal concentration of the active 

ingredient recited in the proposed Alt. NO.4. CSF concurs with the product label claim of 

nominal concentration. 

3 .AII inert ingred.ients are approved for food use by the Agency under Title 40 CFR § 180.920, 

pre harvest application to growing crops (5/~/11). 

4. Box 9 of said Alt. NO.4 CSF recites "n/a" for the flash point. However, the product label under 

"PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS" wams "not to use or store near heat or flame". 

CONCLUSION: 

The proposed Alt. No.4, CSF (dated 5/6/11) for the end-use product, "OBTAINTM EC 

HERBICIDE" has been found unacceptable. 

Note: It is advised that applicant give correct values for the flash pOint in Box 9 of the CSF; "n/a" 

does not appear to be correct in view of the composition of the product containing petroleum 

and the label statement warniing not to use or store near heat or flame.

PRODUCT INFORMATION 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is selective herbicide for control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds 

including kochia, bedstraw (cleavers), common sunflower, volunteer flax and volunteer potato in 

wheat, barley, oats (not under seeded to with a legume), field corn, sweet corn, grain sorghum, millet, 

porne fruits, onions, on-farm non-cropland, non-cropland areas including industrial sites, non-irrigation 

ditch banks, rights of way, pine plantations and conservation reserve program (CRP). 

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 

Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory weed control 

when applied alone. However, the addition of an adjuvant may optimize herbicidal activity when 

applications are made (a) at lower carrier volumes, (b) under conditions of cool temperatures, low 

relative humidity or drought, or (c) to small, heavily pubescent kochia. Adjuvants may be used when 

required by a tank mix partner. Follow all appl'lcable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical 

Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

SPOT TREATMENTS AND HAND-HELD SPRAYERS 

To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or with hand 

sprayers according to the directions below. 

Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be used for spot application of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE if care 

is taken to apply the spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application 

rates in the table are based on an area of 1,000 sq. ft. The amount of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE (fi oz 

or ml) in the table should be mixed with 1 gallon or more of water and applied to an area of 1,000 sq 

ft. To calculate the amount of product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl oz or ml) by 

the area to be treated in "thousands" of square feet, e.g. if the area to be treated is 5,000 sq ft, 

mUltiple the table value by 5 (calc. 5,000 /1000.~ 5).

APPLICATION TO WHEAT, BARLEY AND OATS 

Apply as a broadcast postemergence treatment to actively growing wheat, barley or oats, from the 2 

leaf crop stage of growth up to and including flag leaf emergence for control of broadleaf weeds. 

Apply when weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 inches taU or vining. For control of 

volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 8 inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of 

application will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing 

temperatures prior to, at, and following the Ume of application may reduce weed control and increase 

risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Do not use if cereal crop is underseeded with a legume. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. Applications of 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may be made; however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above.

Broadc ast A ~pPllcatron r R ates: 

Weed Size Application Rate (ptlA) 

Susceptible broadleaf weed seedlings 0.3* 

less than 4 inches tailor vining 

Susceptible broadleat weed seedlings 0.4 

less than 8 inches tailor vining 

Volunteer potatoes 0.7 

* The 0.3 ptiA rate will generally provide satisfactory control of kochia seedlings 

less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes). However, when 

conditions for control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, 

the 0.4 ptiA rate will provide more consistent control of kochia seedlings 1 to 4 

inches tall. Control of small kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent if 

kochia is at least 1 inch tall. The 0.4 ptiA rate should be used for optimal control 

of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated forage within 7 days of 

application. 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 ptiA of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per growing season. 

• Pre harvest Interval: Do not apply closer than 14 days before cutting of hay or 40 days 

before harvesting or grain and straw. 

APPLICATION TO FIELD CORN 

General: Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE ata rate of 0.4 ptlA as a broadcast post emergence 

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied as a preplant 

treatment to control emerged volunteer potato or for burndown of emerged weeds (refer to "Special 

Directions for Control of Volunteer Potato" below). OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank 

mix combination with labeled rates of other- registered herbicides. Read and follow all label 

directions, including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label, 

Application Timing: Apply as a broadcast or band treatment to field corn up to, and including, 5 fully 

exposed leaf collars (V5 growth stage). Do not broadcast apply to field com with 6 fully exposed leaf 

collars (V6 growth stage). Applications to field corn beyond the V5 growth stage should be made as a 

directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop safety precaution below). Apply when broadleaf weeds 

are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tal/. If wild buckwheat is present, apply before 

vining stage of growth. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled or 

suppressed. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, 

and following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop injury at all 

stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted 

weeds. Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above. 

Pre Plant Burndown: For no-till or burndown applications to control emerged weeds, apply alone or 

in a tank mix combination with a labeled herbicide prior to planting.

Special Directions for Control or Suppression of Volunteer Potato: 

• Pre Plant Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 pUA prior to planting com when the majority 

of the volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall, For best results, leave soil undisturbed 

and plant field corn two weeks following application. 

• Sequential Applications (control): To control heavy populations of volunteer potato, a 

preplant application at 0.3 to 0.4 pUA may be followed by a postemergence application of 0.3 

to 0.4 pUA. Do not exceed two applications per season. 

• Postemergence Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 pUA when the majority of the 

volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or apply more than 0.7 ptlA per crop season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not allow livestock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas 

within 47 days of application. Do not apply less than 90 days before harvest of grain or stover. 

Crop Tolerance Precaution: Crop injury (stem curvature, stunting or brace root injury) may occur 

with some com hybrids or lines when OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is applied as a broadcast treatment. 

Hybrids or lines that are susceptible to phenoxy injury may also be susceptible to OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE. Consult current seed com company herbicide management guides for further 

information. 

Tank Mixing: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied alone or in tank mix combination with other 

herbicides registered for post emergent application in field com unless tank mixing is specifically 

prohibited by the label of the tank mix product. When OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is tank mixed with a

APPLICATION TO SWEET CORN 

General: Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at a rate of 0.4 pt/A as a broadcast post emergence 

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied as a preplant 

treatment to control emerged volunteer potato or for burndown of emerged weeds (refer to "Special 

Directions for Control of Volunteer Potato" below). OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank 

mix combination with labeled rates of other registered herbicides. Read and follow all label directions, 

including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. 

Application Timing: Apply as a broadcast or band treatment to sweet corn up to, and including, 4 

fully exposed leaf collars (V4 growth stage). Do not broadcast apply to sweet corn with 5 fully 

exposed leaf collars (V5 growth stage). Applications to sweet corn beyond the V4 growth stage 

should be made as a directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop safety precaution below). Apply 

when broadleat weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tall. If wild buckwheat is 

present, apply before vining stage of growth. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be 

controlled or suppressed. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures 

prior to, at, and following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop 

injury at aU stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of 

targeted weeds. Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above. 

Pre Plant Burndown: For no-till or burndown applications to control emerged weeds, apply alone or 

in a tank mix combination with a labeled herbk:ide prior to planting. 

Special Directions for Control or Suppression of Volunteer Potato: 

• Pre Plant Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 pI/A prior to planting corn when the majority 

of the volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. For best results, leave soil undisturbed 

and plant field com two weeks following application. 

• Sequential Applications (Control): To control heavy populations of volunteer potato, a 

preplant application at 0.3 to 0.4 pI/A may be followed by a postemergence application of 0.3 

to 0.4 pUA. Do not exceed two applicatiqns per season. 

• Postemergence Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 pI/A when the majority of the 

volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or apply more than 0.7 ptiA per crop season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not allow livestock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas 

within 31 days of application. Do not apply less than 31 days before harvesting ears. 

Crop Tolerance Precaution: Not all sweet corn hybrids have been screened for tolerance to 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Crop injury (stem curvature, stunting or brace root injury) may OCcur with 

some corn hybrids or lines when OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is applied as a broadcast treatment. Take 

parfrcular care to manage for environmental conditions such as unfavorable combinations of 

temperature and humidity. Hybrids or lines that are susceptible to phenoxy injury may also be 

susceptible to OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Consult current seed com company herbidde management 

guides for further information.

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank mix 

combination with labeled rates of other registered herbiddes such as atrazine. Read and follow a/l 

label directions, including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. 

Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and following 

the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop injury at all stages of 

growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for ~Spot Application" above. 

Application Timing: 

• Pre Emergence: For no-till or burndown applications, apply to emerged weeds after planting, 

but prior to grain sorghum emergence. 

• Post Emergence: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be broadcast applied from the 3-leaf growth 

stage of grain sorghum through the 7-leaf stage. Use drop nozzles and direct the spray toward 

the soil surface to avoid contact with the grain sorghum foliage to reduce the potential for crop 

injury. Do not apply after the boot stage. 

• For both pre emergence and post emergence applications, apply when weeds are actively 

growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tall and before wild buckwheat is vining. Only weeds 

that have emerged at the time of application will be controlled. 

• To control heavy populations, a pre emergence application may be fol/owed by a post 

emergent application. Do not exceed two applications per season. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or applY more than 0.7 ptiA per crop season. 

• Pre harvest Interval: Do not aI/ow livestock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas

Precautions for use in Pine Plantations 

Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE to pine plantations as an over-the-top broadcast treatment 

during active terminal growth (from initiation of bud break/growth flush until seasonal tenninal growth 

has hardened off and over wintering buds have formed). Directed spray applications may be made 

to pine plantations during period of active growth, but care should be taken to avoid spray contact 

with actively growing foliage. 

Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in tank mix combination to pine plantations unless the tank 

mix product is labeled for weed or brush control in pines by the application method being employed. 

Apply at broadcast rate of 6 to 22 fl ozlA when weeds are small andlor actively growing. Split 

application of Obtain maybe made during a single year, provided the total amount of Obtain applied 

does not exceed the maximum label rate of 22 fI ovA. See listing of weeds controlled or suppressed 

at end of general information section. 

Spot treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See instructions for "spot application". 

Brush Control: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE maybe tank-mixed with Triclopyr 4, Triclopyr 3A, Glyphosate 

4+, Glyphosate 5.4, Picloram 22K or Picloram+ 2,4-0 at indicated rates to increase control of 

pine species, shingle oak, red maple, red oak, and other woody species. 

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply in a spray volume of greater than 8 gallons/acre (or greater than 80 liters/hectare) at 30 to 50 

psi to ensure proper weed coverage. Flat fan. nozzles of 80 or 110 degrees are recommended for 

optimum coverage. Nozzles may be oriented 45 degrees forward to enhance crop penetration and to 

give better weed coverage. Use screens that'are 50-mesh or larger. Do not use controlled droplet 

application equipment, hollow cone-type insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray 

pattem. A drift control or spray thickening agent may be used with this product to improve spray 

deposition and minimize the potential for spray drift. If used, follow all the use directions and 

precautions on the product label. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

Apply in water using a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons/acre (or 30 liters/hectare). For best results, 

use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre (or 50 liters/hectare) under dry conditions or heavy weed 

infestations. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets for best results and to insure 

uniform spray coverage. Aerial applications with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE should be made with low 

drift nozzles at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop and at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. Do 

not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent 

crops, as injury or loss may occur. 

Non-Cropland Areas. including Rights of Way (Helicopter Only); In non-crooland. do not appry this 

product with fixed wing aircraft. 

Pine Plantations; Both fixed wing and helicopter equipment maybe used to apply this product on pine 

plantations, but fixed wing aircraft require additional drift mitigation measures. 

To minimize spray drift apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a total spray volume or 3 or more gallons 

per acre using spray. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 MPH. However many 

factors including droplet size and equipment determine drift potential at any given speed. Application 

should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high potential for temperature 

inversions. Spray drift from aerial applications can be minimized by applying a coarse spray as per 

Page 15 0123 
27

USDA - ARS/PMSS or nozzle manufacturer's guidelines or by using straight stream nozzles directed 

straight back. Do not operate using a spray boom longer than 75% of wing span or 85% of rotor width. 

For fixed wing aircraft, maximum speed during application is limited to 140 mph and application height 

above the vegetation canopy should not exceed 10ft. 

See the SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT section of this label for additional information on how to 

reduce drift during aerial application. 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE TANK MIXTURES- All Uses (Except Non-Crop) 

Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for any herbicides, fungicides, and/or 

insecticides tank mixed WITh OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. If those recommendations conflict with this 

label, do not tank mix that product with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Read and follow all label 

instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any tank mix product. Follow the most restrictive 

labeling. 

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: 

• Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the 

respective product labels. 

• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide product 

containing the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner 

specifies the maximum dosages that may be used. 

• For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products conta·lning 

boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply products containing boron unless the tank 

and spray equipment has been adequately cleaned. 

• Always perform a jar test to insure the cpmpatibiJity of products to be tank mixed. 

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING 

Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE and other 

pesticides, fertilizers or carriers. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients 

(including water) in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and 

observe the mixture for approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls-up, fonns flakes, sludge's, gels 

or fonns oily films, layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination 

should not be used.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with water to ;;.; to 1/2 of the required volume. Start agitation. Add different 

formulation types in order indicated, allowing time for complete mixing and dispersion after addition of 

each. 

1. Add dry f10wable or wettable powder tank mix products 

2. Add aqueous suspensions, flowables or liquids 

3. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to % of the total spray volume and then add OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE and other emulsifiable concentrates and any solutions. 

4. Add any required adjuvants 

5. Finish filling the spray tank 

Maintain confrnuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout application. If spraying and 

agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may settle to the bottom. 

Settled materials must be re-suspended before spraying is resumed. Settled material may be more 

difficult to re-suspend than when originally mixed. Agitate spray tank every 12 hours to re-suspend 

any settled materials. Repeat until spraying can resume and the spray tank is empty. 

SPRAY EQUIPMENT 

For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional 

information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the 

target canopy, etc. 

Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and 

delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. 

Page 17of23 
29

Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath 

overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to 

the crop. Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather 

conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift 

refer to the "SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT" section of this label. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP 

The spray equipment must be cleaned before OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is sprayed. Follow the 

cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are 

provided, follow the steps outlined below. 

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are applied, at 

the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially 

filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which 

can accumulate in the application equipment. 

Clean sprayer using the following procedures: 

1. Drain the tank and thoroughly rinse spray tank, boom and hoses with clean water especially all 

visible deposits. 

2. Fill the tank with water and add household ammonia to make a 1 % vlv solution (1 gall100 gal). 

Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Circulate for at least 15 

minutes. Flush hoses, boom and nozzles once more and then drain the tank. 

3. Clean nozzles and screens in a separate container using the 1 % v/v solution of ammonia and 

water. 

4. Repeat Step 2. 

5. Rinse tank and flush boom and hoses with clean water. 

Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, weIJs or other water sources: 

1. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with pertinent regulations. 

2. Check tank mix partner label for any additional clean-up procedures. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines 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 

applications, public health uses or to applications using dry fonnulations. 

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or 

rotor. 

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

more than 45 degrees. 

When applying OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a tank mix with other herbicides (e.g. 2,4-0, bromoxynil, 

dicamba, MCPA, sulfonylurea herbicides) in eastern Washington, observe all applicable Washington 

State Department of Agriculture herbicide rules. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the SPRAY 

DRIFT MAMAGEMENT section. 

Page 18of23 
30

Information On Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management 

strategy 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 

Inversions). 

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 number of nozzles that provide unifonn 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. Significant deflection from 

horizontal 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 than % of the wingspan or rotor 

length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. 

Application Height 

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 crosswind, 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 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 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 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 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 Inversions 

Page 19 of 23 
31

Applications should 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 in 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 concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while 

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

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to a herbicidal mode of action. 

Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population if herbicides with an identical mode 

of action are used repeatedly in the same field and weed control may fail. The use of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. 

Consult your agricultural advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest 

management practices for your area. 

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops, desirable trees, or vegetation may result from failure to 

observe the following: 

• Do not apply directly to, or otherwise come in contact with susceptible crops or desirable plants 

including but not limited to; alfalfa, canola, cotton, lettuce, edible beans, grapes, lentils, 

mustard, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflower, tomatoes or tobacco. 

• Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas 

where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved in 

to contact with their roots. 

• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, ·tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to 

desirable plants. 

• Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with 

non-target plants or areas. 

• Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. 

• Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as 

spray tank residue may damage crops other than those listed on this label. 

• If re-planting is required, plant only those crops listed in this label or federally approved 

supplemental labeling for OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE within 120 days following application. 

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

• Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop 

tolerace. 

Use Precautions and Restrictions: Non Crop 

• Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes 

• Maximum application Rate: 22 oz per acre of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per year 

• Grazing restrictions: There are no grazing restrictions for livestock, including lactating or nonlactating dairy animals 

• Harvest Restrictions: Do no harvest grass for hay or silage from treated areas within 7 days of 

application 

• Slaughter restrictions: Meat animals must be withdrawn from treated forage at least 2 days 

before slaughter 

Page 20 of23 
32

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

• In Arizona: The state of Arizona has not approved this product for use on plants grown for 

agriculture/commercial production; such as designated grazing grass 

• Management of Kochia Biotypes: Research has suggested that many biotypes of kochia can 

occur within a single population. While kochia biotypes can vary their susceptibility to OBTAIN 

EC HERBICIDE all will be suppressed or controlled at 12 oz per acre provided application 

timing and growing conditions are optimal. Application of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at rates of 

less than 6 fI oz per acre can result in a shift to more tolerant biotypes within a population. 

• Avoid applications where proximity of susceptible plants or other desirable plants is likely 

to result in exposure to spray or spray drift. 

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

PRODUCT INFORMATION 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is selective herbicide for control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds 

including kochia, bedstraw (cleavers), common sunflower, volunteer flax and volunteer potato in 

wheat, barley, oats (not under seeded to with a legume), field corn, sweet corn, grain sorghum, millet, 

porne fruits, onions, on-farm non-cropland, non-cropland areas including industrial sites, non-irrigation 

ditch banks, rights of way, pine plantations and conservation reserve program (CRP). 

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 

Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory weed control 

when applied alone. However, the addition of an adjuvant may optimize herbicidal activity when 

applications are made (a) at lower carrier volumes, (b) under conditions of cool temperatures, low 

relative humidity or drought, or (c) to small, heavily pubescent kochia. Adjuvants may be used when 

required by a tank mix partner. Follow all applicable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical 

Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

SPOT TREATMENTS AND HAND-HELD SPRAYERS 

To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or with hand 

sprayers according to the directions below. 

Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be used for spot application of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE if care 

is taken to apply the spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application 

rates in the table are based on an area of 1,000 sq. ft. The amount of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE (fl oz 

or ml) in the table should be mixed with 1 gallon or more of water and applied to an area .of 1,000 sq 

ft. To calculate the amount of product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl oz or ml) by 

the area to be treated in "thousands" of square feet, e.g. if the area to be treated is 5,000 sq ft, 

multiple the table value by 5 (calc. 5,00011000 = 5).

APPLICATION TO WHEAT, BARLEY AND OATS 

Apply as a broadcast postemergence treatment to actively growing wheat, barley or oats, from the 2 

leaf crop stage of growth up to and including flag leaf emergence for control of broadleat weeds. 

Apply when weeds are actively growing, but belore weeds are 8 inches tall or vining. For control of 

volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 8 inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of 

application will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing 

temperatures prior to, at, and following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase 

risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Do no.t use if cereal crop is underseeded with a legume. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. Applications of 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may be made; however, to prevent overRapplication spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above.

B roadcast Application Rates: 

Weed Size Application Rate (ptlA) 

Susceptible broadleaf weed seedlings 0.3* 

less than 4 inches tall or vining 

Susceptible broad leaf weed seedlings 0.4 

less than 8 inches tall or v'lning 

Volunteer potatoes 0.7 

* The 0.3 ptiA rate will generally provide satisfactory control of kochia seedlings 

less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes). However, when 

conditions for control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, 

the 0.4 pUA rate wi!! provide more consistent control of kochia seedlings 1 to 4 

inches tall. Control of small kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent if 

kochia is at least 1 inch tall. The 0.4 ptiA rate should be used for optimal control 

of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated forage within 7 days of 

application. 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 ptiA of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per growing season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not apply closer than 14 days before cutting of hay or 40 days 

before haNesting or grain and straw: 

APPLICATION TO FIELD CORN 

General: Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at a rate of 0.4ptlA as a broadcast post emergence 

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied as a preplant 

treatment to control emerged volunteer potato or for burndown of emerged weeds (refer to "Special 

Directions for Control of Volunteer Potato" below). OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank 

mix combination with labeled rates of other·~- registered herbicides. Read and follow all label 

directions, including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. 

Application Timing: Apply as a broadcast or band treatment to field corn up to, and including, 5 fully 

exposed leaf collars (V5 growth stage). Do not broadcast apply to field corn with 6 fully exposed leaf 

collars (V6 growth stage). Applications to field corn beyond the V5 growth stage should be made as a 

directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop safety precaution below). Apply when broad leaf weeds 

are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tall. If wild buckwheat is present, apply before 

vining stage of growth. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled or 

suppressed. Extreme growing conditions such as dro"ught or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, 

and following the time of application may reduc~ weed control and increase risk of crop injury at all 

stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted 

weeds. Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application:' Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over~application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above. 

Pre Plant Burndown: For no~tm or burndown applications to control emerged weeds, apply alone or 

in a tank mix combination with a labeled herbicide prior to planting. 

Special Directions for Control or Suppression of Volunteer Potato: 
60

• Pre Plant Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 ptiA prior to planting corn when the majority 

of the volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. For best results, leave soil undisturbed 

and plant field corn two weeks following application. 

• Sequential Applications (control): To control heavy populations of volunteer potato, a 

preplant application at 0.3 to 0.4 ptiA may be followed by a postemergence application of 0.3 

to 0.4 pUA. Do not exceed two applications per season. 

• Postemergence Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 ptiA when the majority of the 

volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or apply more than 0.7 ptlA per crop season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not allow livestock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas 

within 47 days of application. Do not apply less than 90 days before harvest of grain or stover. 

Crop Tolerance Precaution: Crop injury (stem curvature, stunting or brace root injury) may occur 

with some corn hybrids or lines when OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is applied as a broadcast treatment. 

Hybrids or lines that are susceptible to phenoxy injury may also be susceptible to OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE. Consult current seed corn company herbicide management guides for further 

information. 

Tank Mixing: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied alone or in tank mix combination with other 

herbicides registered for post emergent application in field corn unless tank mixing is specifically 

prohibited by the label of the tank mix product. When OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is tank mixed with a 

companion herbicide, follow all applicable use directions, precautions, restrictions, and limitations 

listed on the manufacturer's label. If an adjuvant is added to the spray mixture as a requirement of the 

tank mix partner, follow label directions for both the tank mix partner and the adjuvant product. 

Adjuvants: Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory 

weed control when applied alone. Adjuvants may be used when required by a tank mix partner. 

Follow all applicable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. Use of a high quality adjuvant 

may improve weed control in hot dry conditions. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical 

Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) 'certified adjuvant. 
61

APPLICATION TO SWEET CORN 

General: Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at a rate of 0.4 ptJA as a broadcast post emergence 

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied as a preplant 

treatment to control emerged volunteer potato or for burndown of emerged weeds (refer to "Special 

Directions for Control of Volunteer Potato" below). OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank 

mix combination with labeled rates of other registered herbicides, Read and follow all label directions, 

including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. 

Application Timing: Apply as a broadcast or band treatment to sweet corn up to, and including, 4 

fully exposed leaf collars (V4 growth stage). Do not broadcast apply to sweet corn with 5 fully 

exposed leaf collars (V5 growth stage). Applications to sweet corn beyond the V4 growth stage 

should be made as a directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop safety precaution below). Apply 

when broadleat weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tall. If wild buckwheat is 

present, apply before vining stage of growth. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be 

controlled or suppressed. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures 

prior to, at, and following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop 

injury at all stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of 

targeted weeds. Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above. 

Pre Plant Burndown: For no-till or burndown applications to control emerged weeds, apply alone or 

in a tank mix combination with a labeled herbicide prior to plantin"g. 

Special Directions for Control or Suppression of Volunteer Potato: 

• Pre Plant Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 ptlA prior to planting corn when the majority 

of the volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. For best results, leave soil undisturbed 

and plant field corn two weeks following application. 

• Sequential Applications (Control): To control heavy populations of volunteer potato, a 

preplant application at 0.3 to 0.4 ptlA maY be followed by a postemergence application of 0.3 

to 0.4 ptlA. Do not exceed two applications per season. 

• Postemergence Application (Suppression): Apply 0.4 ptlA when the majority of the 

volunteer potato plants are 4 to 8 inches tall. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or apply more than 0.7 ptlA per crop season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not allow livesfock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas 

within 31 days of application. Do not apply less than 31 days before harvesting ears. 

Crop Tolerance Precaution: Not all sweet corn hybrids have been screened for tolerance to 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Crop injury (stem curvature, stunting or brace root injury) may occur with 

some corn hybrids or lines when OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is applied as a broadcast treatment. Take 

particular care to manage for environmental conditions such as unfavorable combinations of 

temperature and humidity. Hybrids or lines that are susceptible to phenoxy injury may also be 

susceptible to OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Consult current seed corn company herbicide management 

guides for further information. 
62

Tank Mixing: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied alone or in tank mix combination with other 

herbicides registered for post emergent application in field corn unless tank mixing is specifically 

prohibited by the label of the tank mix product. When OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is tank mixed with a 

companion herbicide, follow all applicable use directions, precautions, restrictions, and limitations 

listed on the manufacturer's label. 

Adjuvants: Do not use a spray adjuvant when applying OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE alone. Use of an 

adjuvant may increase effectiveness on weeds but may reduce selectivity to the crop, particularly 

under conditions of plant stress such as drought or cold temperatures. If an adjuvant is added to the 

spray mixture as a requirement of a tank mix partner, follow all the manufacturer's instructions. Do not 

apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in combination WITh crop oil concentrates, petroleum-based oils or 

methylated seed oils unless the risk of injury is acceptable. 

APPLICATION TO GRAIN SORGHUM (MILO) 

General: Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at a rate of 0.4 pI/A as a broadcast post emergence 

treatment using ground equipment or by air. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank mix 

combination with labeled rates of other registered herbicides such as atrazine. Read and follow all 

label directions, including applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. 

Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and following 

the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop injury at all stages of 

growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications made be made, however, to prevent over-application spot 

treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent £0 broadcast application. See 

instructions for "Spot Application" above. 

Application Timing: 

• Pre Emergence: For no-till or burndown applications, apply to emerged weeds after planting, 

but prior to grain sorghum emergence. 

• Post Emergence: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be broadcast applied from the 3-leaf growth 

stage of grain sorghum through the 7-leaf stage. Use drop nozzles and direct the spray toward 

the soil surface to avoid contact with the grain sorghum foliage to reduce the potential for crop 

injury. Do not apply after the boot stage. 

• For both pre emergence and post emergence applications, apply when weeds are actively 

growing, but before weeds are 8 inches tall and before wild buckwheat is vining. Only weeds 

that have emerged at the time of application will be controlled. 

• To control heavy populations, a pre emergence application may be followed by a post 

emergent application. Do not exceed two applications per season. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not make more than two applications or apply more than 0.7 pUA per crop season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not allow livestock to graze or harvest forage from treated areas 

within 40 days of application. Do not apply less than 70 days before harvest of grain or stover.

Precautions for use in Pine Plantations 

Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE to pine plantations as an over-the-top broadcast treatment 

during active terminal growth (from initiation of bud break/growth flush until seasonal terminal growth 

has hardened off and over wintering buds have formed). Directed spray applications may be made 

to pine plantations during period of active growth, but care should be taken to avoid spray contact 

with actively growing foliage. 

Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in tank mix combination to pine plantations unless the tank 

mix product is labeled for weed or brush control in pines by the application method being employed. 

Apply at broadcast rate of 6 to 22 fl oz/A when weeds are small and/or actively growing. Split 

application of Obtain maybe made during a single year, provided the total amount of Obtain applied 

does not exceed the maximum label rate of 22 fI oz/A. See listing of weeds controlled or suppressed 

at end of general information section. 

Spot treatments should be af?'plied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast application. 

See instructions for "spot application". 

Brush Control: OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE maybe tank-mixed with Triclopyr 4, Triclopyr 3A, Glyphosate 

4+, Glyphosate 5.4, Picloram 22K or Picloram+ 2,4-0 at indicated rates to increase control of 

pine species, shingle oak, red maple, red oak, and other woody species. 

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply in a spray volume of greater than 8 gallons/acre (or greater than 80 liters/hectare) at 30 to 50 

psi to ensure proper weed coverage. Flat fan nozzles of 80 or 110 degrees are recommended for 

optimum coverage. Nozzles may be oriented 45 degrees fOlWard to enhance crop penetration and to 

give better weed coverage. Use screens that are 50-mesh or larger. Do not use controlled droplet 

application equipment, hollow cone-type insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray 

pattern. A drift control or spray thickening agent may be used with this product to improve spray 

deposition and minimize the potential for spray drift. If used, follow all the use directions and 

precautions on the product label. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

Apply in water using a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons/acre (or 30 liters/hectare). For best results, 

use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre (or 50 liters/hectare) under dry conditions or heavy weed 

infestations. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size droplets for best results and to insure 

uniform spray coverage. Aerial applications with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE should be made with low 

drift nozzles at a maximum height of 10 feet abov'e the crop and at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. Do 

not apply aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent 

crops, as injury or loss may occur. 

Non-Cropland Areas, including Rights of Way (Helicopter Only); In non-cropland. do not apply this 

product with fixed wing aircraft. 

Pine Plantations; Both fixed wing and helicopter equipment maybe used to apply this product on pine 

plantations. but fixed wing aircraft require additional drift mitigation measures. 

To minimize spray drift apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a total spray volume or 3 or more gallons 

per acre using spray. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 MPH. However many 

factors including droplet size and equipment determine drift potential at any given speed. Application 

should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high potential for temperature 
69

inversions. Spray drift from aerial applications can be minimized by applying a coarse spray as per 

USDA - ARS/PAASS or nozzle manufacturer's guidelines or by using straight stream nozzles directed 

straight back. Do not operate using a spray boom longer than 75% of wing span or 85% of rotor width. 

For fixed wing aircraft, maximum speed during application is Iim'lted to 140 mph and application height 

above the vegetation canopy should not exceed 10ft. 

See the "SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT" section of this label for additional information on how to 

reduce drift during aerial application. 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE TANK MIXTURES- All Uses (Except Non-Crop) 

Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for any herbicides, fungicides, and/or 

insecticides tank mixed with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. If those recommendations conflict with this 

label, do not tank mix that product with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE. Read and follow all label 

instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for any tank mix product. Follow the most restrictive 

labeling. 

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: 

• Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the 

respective product labels. 

• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide product 

containing the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner 

specifies the maximum dosages that may be used. 

• For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products containing 

boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply products containing boron unless the tank 

and spray equipment has been adequatelv cleaned. 

• Always perfonn a jar test to insure the compatibility of products to be tank mixed. 

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING 

Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE and other 

pesticides, fertilizers or carriers. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients 

(including water) in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and 

observe the mixture for approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls-up, fonns flakes, sludge's, gels 

or fonns oily films, lay~rs, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination 

should not be used.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with water to % to 1/2 of the required volume. Start agitation. Add different 

formulation types in order indicated, allowing time for complete mixing and dispersion after addition of ~~. .. 

1. Add dry flowable or wettable powder tank mix products 

2. Add aqueous suspensions, flowables or liquids 

3. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to % of the total spray volume and then add OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE and other emulsifiable concentrates and any solutions. 

4. Add any required adjuvants 

5. Finish filling the spray tank 

Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout application. If spraying and 

agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may settle to the bottom. 

Settled materials must be re-suspended before spraying is resumed. Settled material may be more 

difficult to re-suspend than when originally mixed. Agitate spray tank every 12 hours to re-suspend 

any settled materials. Repeat until spraying can resume and the spray tank is empty. 

SPRAY EQUIPMENT 

For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional 

information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the 

target canopy, etc. 

Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray volume and 

delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum drift. 
71

Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath 

overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to 

the crop. Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather 

conditions that might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift 

refer to the "SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT' section of this label. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP 

The spray equipment must be cleaned before OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is sprayed. Follow the 

cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. If no directions are 

provided, follow the steps outlined below. 

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are applied, at 

the end of each day of spraylng, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially 

filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which 

can accumulate in the application equipment. 

Clean sprayer using the following procedures: 

1. Drain the tank and thoroughly rinse spray tank, boom and hoses with clean water especially all 

visible deposits. 

2. Fill the tank with water and add household ammonia to make a 1% vlv solution (1 gall100 gal). 

Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Circulate for at least 15 

minutes. Flush hoses, boom and nozzles once more and then drain the tank. 

3. Clean nozzles and screens in a separate container using the 1 % v/v solution of ammonia and 

water. 

4. Repeat Step 2. 

5. Rinse tank and flush boom and hoses with clean water. 

Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources: 

1. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with pertinent regulations. 

2. Check tank mix partner label for any additional clean-up procedures. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines 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 

applications, public health uses or to applications--using dry formulations. 

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the wingspan or 

rotor. 

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

more than 45 degrees. 

When applying OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a tank mix with other herbicides (e.g. 2,4-D, bromoxynil, 

dicamba, MCPA, sulfonylurea herbicides) in eastern Washington, observe all applicable Washington 

State Department of Agriculture herbicide rules. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the SPRAY 

DRIFT MAMAGEMENT section. 
72

Information On Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management 

strategy 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 

Inversions). 

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 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. Significant deflection from 

horizontal 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 than % of the wingspan or rotor 

length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. 

Application Height 

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 crosswind, 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 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 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 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 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 Inversions 
73

Applications should 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 in 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 concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while 

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

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to a herbicidal mode of action. 

Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population if herbicides with an identical mode 

of action are used repeatedly in the same field and weed control may fail, The use of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. 

Consult your agricultural advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest 

management practices for your area. 

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 

Injury to or loss of adjacent sensitive crops, desirable trees, or vegetation may result from failure to 

obselVe the following: 

• Do not apply directly to, or otherwise come in contact with susceptible crops or desirable plants 

including but not limited to: alfalfa, canola, cotton, lettuce, edible beans, grapes, lentils, 

mustard, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflower, tomatoes or tobacco. 

• Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas 

where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved in 

to contact with their roots. 

• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to 

desirable plants. 

• Take all necessary precautions to avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with 

non-target plants or areas. 

• Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. 

• Carefully observe all sprayer cleanup instructions both prior to and after using this product, as 

spray tank residue may damage crops other than those listed on this label. 

• If re-planting is required, plant only those crops listed in this label or federally approved 

supplemental labeling for OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE within 120 days following application. 

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

• Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop 

tolerace. 

Use Precautions and Restrictions: Non Crop 

• Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes 

• Maximum application Rate: 22 oz per acre of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per year 

• Grazing restrictions: There are no grazing restrictions for livestock, including lactating or nonlactating dairy animals 

• HalVest Restrictions: Do no halVest grass. for hay or silage from treated areas within 7 days of 

application 

• Slaughter restrictions: Meat animals must be withdrawn from treated forage at least 2 days 

before slaughter 

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

• In Arizona: The state of Arizona has not approved this product for use on plants grown for 

agriculture/commercial production; such as deSignated grazing grass 

• Management of Kochia Biotypes: Research has suggested that many biotypes of kochia can 

occur within a single population. While kochia biotypes can vary their susceptibility to OBTAIN 

EC HERBICIDE all will be suppressed or controlled at 12 oz per acre provided application 

timing and growing conditions are optimal, Application of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE at rates of 

less than 6 fI oz per acre can result in a shift to more tolerant biotypes within a population. 

• Avoid applications where proximity of susceptible plants or other desirable plants is likely 

to result in exposure to spray or spray drift.

Mr. Janis; 

My original email to you is dated Friday, March 11. You responded by 

stating you would have the label to me sometime Friday. You were unable 

to send the revised label due to file corruption issues. I left a 

voice mail for you on Saturday asking you to provide the revised label 

by Monday. After we spoke yesterday (Monday), I was under the 

impression that you would be able to provide a revised label by close of 

business yesterday. I received no revised label from you. 

Please note that if we do not receive a revised label in a timely 

fashion the proposed label amendment may be denied. 

Please provide me with the revised label by close of business today. 

please call to discuss the matter, if you are unable to meet this 

deadline. 

Thank yoU for your prompt attention to this matter.

Mr. Janis: 

The following changes are required fo~ the proposed label. I realize 

it is short notice, but would it be possible to get the revised label 

today. If not, please let me know when you can provide a revised label 

with the changes cited below. 

Thank you. 

Michael Walsh 

Registration Division, Herbicide Branch 

(See attached file: Note to JJanis 66330-38S.docx) 
83

1) On page 3, replace the term "GENERAL" with "PRODUCT" in the GENERAL 

INFORMATION header on page 3 for it to read "PRODUCT INFORMATION". 

2) On page 20, in the last bullet under noncrop restrictions, change 

"were" to "where". 

3) On page 21, add a header clearly separating the Non-refillable 

container handling section from the refillable container handling 

sections. For example, the following text would meet the requirements. 

Refillable Containers. Refill this container with pesticide only. DO 

not reuse this container for any other purpose. Cleaning the container 

before final disposal is the responsibility of the person disposing of 

the container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the 

refiller. 

Refilling or Returning Containers 

If refilling or returning container is planned, end users are not 

authorized to ........... . 

4) On page 21, the last few sentences in the refillable section under 

the header "Bottom Discharge IBC (e.g. Schuetz Caged IBC or Snyder 

Square Stackable)." must be changed to read as follows: 

n .... more complete product removal. Completely remove the top lid of the 

IBC. Use water pressurized to at least 40 PSI to rinse all interior 

portions. Continuously pump or drain rinsate into application equipment 

or rinsate collection system while pressure rinsing. Continue pressure 

rinsing for 2 minutes or until rinsate becomes clear. Replace the lid 

and close the bottom valve."

GENERAL INFORMATION 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is selective herbicide for control of annual and perellilial 

broadleafweeds including kochia, bedstraw (cleavers), common sunflower, volunteer 

flax and volunteer potato in wheat, barley, oats (not under seeded to with a legume), field 

corn, sweet corn, grain sorghum, millet, pome fruits, onions, on-famt non-cropland, and 

conservation reserve program (CRP). 

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 

Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory 

weed control when applied alone. However, the addition of an adjuvant may optimize 

herbicidal activity when applications are made (a) at lower carrier volumes, (b) under 

conditions of cool temperatures, low relative humidity or drought, or (c) to small, heavily 

pubescent kochia. Adjuvants may be used when required by a tank mix partner. Follow 

all applicable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a 

Chemical Producer's and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

SPOT TREATMENTS AND HAND-HELD SPRAYERS 

To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or 

with hand sprayers according to the directions below. 

Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be Jlsed for spot application of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE if care is taken to apply the spray unifonnly and at a rate equivalent to a 

broadcast application. Application rate's in the table are based on an area of 1,000 sq. ft. 

The amount of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE (£1 oz or ml) in the table should be mixed with 

1 gallon or more of water and applied to an area of 1,000 sq f1. To calculate the amount 

of product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (£1 oz or ml) by the area to be 

treated in "thousands" of square feet, e.g. if the area to be treated is 5,000 sq ft, multiple 

the table value by 5 (calc. 5,000 /l 000 = 5).

APPLICATION TO WHEAT, BARLEY AND OATS 

Apply as a broadcast postemergence treatment to actively growing wheat, barley or oats, 

from the 2 leaf crop stage of growth up to and including flag leaf emergence for control 

of broad leaf weeds. Apply when weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 

inches tall or vining. For control of volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 8 

inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Extreme 

growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and 

following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop 

injury at all stages of growth. Do not use if cereal crop is underseeded with a legume. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within I hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may be made; however, to prevent over-application 

spot treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast 

application. See instructions for "Spot Application" above.

control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, the 0.4 pint/acre rate will 

provide more consistent control ofkochia seedlings 1 to 4 inches tall. Control of small 

kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent if kochia is at least I inch tall. The 0.4 

I pint/acre rate should be used for optimal control of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated forage within 7 

days of application. 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 pint/acre of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per growing 

season. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not apply closer thanl4 days before cutting of hay or 

40 days before harvesting or grain and straw.

APPLICATION TO MILLET GROWN FOR GRAIN, FORAGE OR HAY 

Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast postemergence treatment using ground 

equipment or by air. A second application may be made a minimum of 14 days after the 

first. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be, applied in a tank mix combination with labeled 

rates of other registered herbicides. Read and follow all label directions, including 

applicable use directions, precautions arid limitations on each product labeL When tank 

mixing, the most restrictive limitations on each label must apply 

Application Timing: Apply to millet in the spring when weeds are actively growing, but 

before weeds are 8 inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be 

controUed. New plantings of millet may be treated from tile 2 true leaf stage of growth 

prior to the early boot stage. Do not apply during boot, flowering, or seed development 

stage of growth if millet is to be harvested for seed. Extreme growing conditions such as 

drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and following the time of application 

may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop injwy at all stages of growth. Foliage 

that is wet at the time of application may 9-ecrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN Ee HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may. be made, however, to prevent over-application 

spot treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast

less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes). However, when conditions for 

control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, the 0.4 pint/acre rate will 

provide more consistent control ofkochia seedlings 1 to 4 inches tall. Control of small 

kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent ifkochia is at least I inch tall. The 0.4 

I pint/acre rate should be used for optimal control of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 pint/acre or make more than 2 applications per 

growing season. 

• Grazing Restrictions: There are no grazing restrictions for lactating or nonlactating dairy animals. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not harvest millet for hay from treated areas within 14 

days of application or millet grain and straw within 40 days of application.

APPLICA nON TO ONIONS 

Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast postemergence treatment for control of 

kochia, volunteer potatoes and other susceptible broadleafweeds in onions using ground 

equipment or by air. 

Rate and Application Timing: Apply 0~35 pint/acre to kochia, volunteer potatoes and 

other susceptible broadleaf weeds that are from 4 to 8 inches tall for optimwn control. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within I hour after application. 

Broadcast (over-the-top) application may be made to onions from the 2 true leaf stage 

through the 6 leaf stage. Applications to onions beyond the 6 leaf stage should be made 

as a directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop warning below). Do not apply as a 

broadcast over-the-top after the 6 leaf stage of growth. Tank mix combinations with 

other herbicides registered for use in onions may result in unacceptable crop injury. 

Adjuvants are not reconunended with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE applications in omons. 

Sequential Applications: To control heavy populations or successive flushes ofkochia, 

volunteer potatoes or other susceptible broadleafweeds, two postemergence applications 

can be made on a 10-14 day re-treatment interval. Do not make more than two 

applications per season.

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply in a spray volume of greater than 8 gallons/acre (or greater than 80 liters/hectare) 

at 30 to 50 psi to ensure proper weed coverage. Flat fan nozzles of 80 or 110 degrees are 

recommended for optimum coverage. Nozzles may be oriented 45 degrees forward to 

enhance crop penetration and to give better weed coverage. Use screens that are 50-mesh 

or larger. Do not use controlled droplet application equipment, hollow cone-type 

insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray pattern. A drift control or 

spray thickening agent may be used with this product to improve spray deposition and 

minimize the potential for spray drift. If used, follow all the use directions and 

precautions on the product labeL 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

Apply in water using a minimum spray volume of3 gallons/acre (or 30 literslhectare). 

For best results, use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre (or 50 liters/hectare) under illy 

conditions or heavy weed infestations. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size 

droplets for best results and to insure uniform spray coverage. Aerial applications with 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE should be made with low drift nozzles at a maximum height 

of 10 feet above the crop and at a maximum pressure of 30 psi. Do not apply aerially 

when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops, 

as injury or loss may occur. 

See the "AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" section of this 

label for additional infonnation on how to reduce drift during aerial application.

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: 

• Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and 

limitations on the respective product labels. 

• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide 

product containing the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of 

either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used. 

• For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products 

containing boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply products 

containing boron unless the tank and spray equipment has been adequately 

cleaned. 

• Always perform a jar test to insure the compatibility of products to be tank mixed. 

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING 

Perform ajar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE and other pesticides, fertilizers or carriers. Use a clear glass qUaI1 jar with 

lid and mix the tank mix ingredients (including water) in there relative proportions. 

InveI1 the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for 

approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls~up, forms flakes, sludge's, gels or fonus 

oily films, layers, Of other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination 

should not be used. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with water to Y; to 112 of the required volume. Start agitation. Add 

different formulation types in order indicated, allowing time for complete mixing and 

dispersion after addition of each. 

1. Add dry flowable or wettable powder tank mix products 

2. Add aqueous suspensions, flowables or liquids 

3. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to % of the total spray volume and then add 

OBTAIN Be HERBICIDE and other emulsifIable concentrates and any solutions. 

4. Add any required adjuvants 

5. Finish filling the spray tank 

Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout application. If 

spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may 

settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be re-suspended before spraying is resumed. 

Settled material may be more difficult to re-suspend than when originally mixed. Agitate 

spray tank every 12 hours to re-suspend any settled materials. Repeat until spraying can 

resume and the spray tank is empty.

Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray 

volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a unifonn spray 

pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to OBTAIN EC better coverage 

when crop canopy is dense. A void swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while 

starting, twmng, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injrny to the crop. Do not make 

applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that 

might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift 

refer to the " AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" section 

of this label. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP 

The spray equipment must be cleaned before OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is sprayed. 

Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. 

Ifno directions are provided, follow the steps outlined below. 

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE are applied, at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be 

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This 

will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the 

application equipment. 

Clean sprayer using the following procedures: 

1. Drain the tank and thoroughly rinse spray tank, boom and hoses with clean water 

especially all visible deposits. 

2. Fill the tank with water and add household ammonia to make a 1 % v/v solution 

(1 gaVlOO gal). Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the cleaning solution. 

Circulate for at least 15 minutes. -.Flush hoses, boom and nozzles once more and 

then drain the tame 

3. Clean nozzles and screens in a separate container using the 1 % v/v solution of 

ammonia and water. 

4. Repeat Step 2. 

5. Rinse tank and flush boom and hoses with clean water. 

Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources: 

1. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with pertinent regulations. 

2. Check tank mix partner label for any additional clean-up procedures. 

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site"is the responsibility of the applicator. The 

interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines the potential for 

spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these 

factors when making decisions. ,'> ) ,

apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry 

fonnulations. 

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed -X the length of the 

wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzles must always point backward, parallel with the air stream and never be pointed 

downwards more than 45 degrees. 

When applying OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a tank mix with other herbicides (e.g. 2,4-

0, bromoxynil, dicalllba, MCPA, sulfonylurea herbicides) in eastern Washington, 

observe all applicable Washington State Department of Agriculture herbicide rules. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the infonnation covered in 

the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 

Information On Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift 

management strategy 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 Inversions). 

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 number of nozzles that provide unifonn 

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. Significant deflection from hori?,=ontal 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 than -X ofJ:4~ ?yipgspa~ ~ ~', 

or rotor length may ftu1her reduce drift without reducing swath width. :;; , > •

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a crosswind, 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 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, 

including droplet size and equipment type detemline 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 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 Inversions 

Applications should not occur dming a temperature inversion because drift potential is 

high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, wlllch 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 fonn as the sun sets 

and often continue in 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 concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

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

air mixing. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to a herbicidal 

mode of action. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population if 

herbicides with an identical mode of action are used repeatedly in the same field and 

weed control may fail. The use of OBTAIN Ee HERBICIDE should conform to 

resistance management strategies established for the use area. Consult your agricultural 

advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest management 

practices for yom area.

GENERALINFO~ATION 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE is selective herbicide for control of annual and perennial 

broadleafweeds including kochia, bedstraw (cleavers), common sunflower, volunteer 

flax and volunteer potato in wheat, barley, oats (not under seeded to willi a legume), field 

corn, sweet com, grain sorghum, millet, pome fruits, onions, on-fann non-cropland, and 

conservation reserve program (CRP). 

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 

Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory 

weed control when applied alone. However, the addition of an adjuvant may optimize 

herbicidal activity when applications are made (a) at lower camer volumes, (b) under 

conditions of cool temperatures, low relative humidity or drought, or (c) to small, heavily 

pubescent kochia. Adjuvants may be used when required by a tank mix partner. Follow 

all applicable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. 

"When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a 

Chemical Producer's and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

SPOT TREATMENTS AND HAND-HELD SPRAYERS 

To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or 

with hand sprayers according to the directions below. 

Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be used for spot application of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE if care is taken to apply the spray unifonnly and at a rate equivalent to a 

broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based on an area of 1,000 sq. ft. 

The amount of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE (ft oz or ml) in the table should be mixed with 

I gallon or more of water and applied to an area of I ,000 sq ft. To calculate the amount 

of product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (ft oz or ml) by the area to be 

treated in "thousands" of square feet, e.g. if the area to be treated is 5,000 sq ft, multiple 

the table value by 5 (calc. 5,000 11000 ~ 5).

APPLICATION TO WHEAT, BARLEY AND OATS 

Apply as a broadcast postemergence treatment to actively growing wheat, barley or oats, 

from the 2 leaf crop stage of groWtll up to and including flag leaf emergence for control 

of broad leaf weeds. Apply when weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 

inches tall or vining. For control of volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 8 

inches tal1. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Extreme 

growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and 

following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop 

injury at all stages of growth. Do not use if cereal crop is underseeded with a legllme. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of applicatiQn may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBIClPE are rain-fast within I hour after application.

less than 4 inches taU (including ALS resistant biotypes). However, when conditions for 

control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, the 0.4 pint/acre rate will 

provide more consistent control ofkochia seedlings I to 4 inches tall. Control of small 

kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent ifkochia is at least I inch tall. The 0.4 

I pint/acre rate should be used for optimal control of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas or harvest treated forage within 7 

days of application. 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 pint/acre of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE per growing 

season.

2. Use the higher rate in the range to control these weeds. 

3. For control of larger kochia at more advanced stages of growth, increase the 

rate per acre of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE to 0.8 to 1.1 pint/acre or tank mix 

with 1-2 quarts/acre of 2,4-D and 1-2 quarts/acre of methylated seed oil. 

Use Restrictions: 

• Do not apply more than 1.4 pints/acre (0.5 lb. ai/acre) per year. 

• Do not make more than one treatment per crop per year. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not apply within 14 days ofharves1. 

• Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE to trees less than 4-years-old. 

• Do not apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE during bloom. 

APPLICATION TO MILLET GROWN FOR GRAIN, FORAGE OR HAY 

Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast postemergence treatment using ground 

equipment or by air. A second application may be made a minimum of 14 days after the 

first. OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE may be applied in a tank mix combination with labeled 

rates of other registered herbicides. Read and fo1iow all label directions, including 

applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on each product label. VVhen tank 

mixing, the most restrictive limitations on each label must apply 

Application Timing: Apply to millet in the spring when weeds are actively growing, but 

before weeds are 8 inches tall. Only weeds emerged at tI1e time of application will be 

controlled. New plantings of millet may be treated from the 2 true leaf stage of growth 

prior to tIle early boot stage. Do not apply during boot, flowering, or seed development 

stage of growth if millet is to be harvestedfor seed. Extreme growing ,conditions such as 

drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and following the time of application 

may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop injwy at aU stages of growth. Foliage 

that is wet at the time of application may. decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications of OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may be made, however, to prevent over-application 

spot treatments should be applied at rates and spray volumes equivalent to broadcast 

application. See instlUctions for "Spot Application" above. , , , , , , , , , >

* The 0.3 pint/acre rate will generally provide satisfactory control of kochia seedlings 

less than 4 inches tall (including ALS resistant biotypes). However, when conditions for 

control are less favorable, such as drought or cool temperatures, the 0.4 pint/acre rate will 

provide more consistent control ofkochia seedlings I to 4 inches talL Control of small 

kochia with reduced rates will be more consistent ifkochia is at least 1 inch tall. The 0.4 

I pint/acre rate should be used for optimal control of dicamba tolerant kochia populations. 

Restrictions: 

• Do not apply more than 0.7 pint/acre or make more than 2 applications per 

growmg season. 

• Grazing Restrictions: There are no grazing restrictions for lactating or non~ 

lactating dail)' animals. 

• Preharvest Interval: Do not harvest millet for hay from treated areas within 14 

days of application or millet grain and straw within 40 days of application.

least 2 days before slaughter. 

APPLICA nON TO ONIONS 

Apply OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE as a broadcast postemergence treatment for control of 

kochia, volunteer potatoes and other susceptible broadleafweeds in onions using ground 

equipment or by air. 

Rate and Application Timing: Apply 0.35 pint/acre to kochia, volunteer potatoes and 

other susceptible broadleafweeds that are from 4 to 8 inches tall for optimum control. 

Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted weeds. 

Applications ofOBT AIN EC HERBICIDE are rain-fast within 1 hour after application. 

Broadcast (over-the-top) application may be made to onions from the 2 true leaf stage 

through the 6 leaf stage. Applications to onions beyond the 6 leaf stage should be made 

as a directed spray using drop nozzles (see crop warning below). Do not apply as a 

broadcast over-the-top after the 6 leaf stage of growth. Tank mix combinations with 

other herbicides registered for use in onions may result in unacceptable crop injury. 

Adjuvants are not recommended with OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE applications in onions. 

Sequential Applications: To control heavy populations or successive flushes ofkochia, 

volunteer potatoes or other susceptible broadleafweeds, two postemergence applications 

can be made on a 10-14 day re-treatment interval. Do not make more than two 

applications per season. , , , , , "

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply in a spray volume of greater than 8 gallons/acre (or greater than 80 liters/hectare) 

at 30 to 50 psi to ensure proper weed coverage. Flat fan nozzles of 80 or 110 degrees are 

reconmlended for optimum coverage. Nozzles may be oriented 45 degrees forward to 

enhance crop penetration and to give better weed coverage. Use screens that are 50-mesh 

or larger. Do not use controlled droplet application equipment, hollow cone-type 

insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray pattern. A drift control or 

spray thickening agent may be llsed with this product to improve spray deposition and 

minimize the potential for spray drift. Ifused, follow all the use directions and 

precautions on the product label. 

AERIAL APPLICATION 

Apply in water using a minimum spray volume of3 gallons/acre (or 30 liters/hectare). 

For best results, use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre (or 50 litersihectare) under chy 

conditions or heavy weed infestations. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size 

droplets for best results and to insure uniform spray coverage. Aerial applications with 

OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE should be made with low drift nozzles at a maximum height 

of 10 feet above the crop and at a maximum pressure of30 psi. Do not apply aerially 

when wind speed is greater than 10 mph.' Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops, 

as injury or loss may occur. 

See the "AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" section of this 

label for additional infonnation on how to reduce drift during aerial application.

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: 

• Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and 

limitations on the respective product labels. 

• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide 

product containing the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of 

either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used. 

• For products packaged in water soluble packaging, do not tank mix with products 

containing boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply products 

containing boron unless the tank and spray equipment has been adequately 

cleaned. 

• Always perfonn a jar test to insure the compatibility of products to be tank mixed. 

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING 

PerfOim ajar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of OBTAIN Ee 

HERBICIDE and other pesticides, feI1ilizers or carriers. Use a clear glass qUaI1jar with 

lid and mix the tank mix ingredients (including water) in there relative proportions. 

Invert the jaI' containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for 

approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls-up, fOlllS flakes, sludge's, gels or forms 

oily films, layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination 

should not be used. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with water to y,; to 112 of the required volume. StaIt agitation. Add 

different fonnulation types in order indicated, allowing time for complete mixing and 

dispersion after addition of each. 

I. Add dry flowable or wettable powder tank mix products 

2. Add aqueous suspensions, flowables or liquids 

3. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to % of the total spray volume and then add 

OBTAIN Ee HERBICIDE and other emulsifiable concentrates and any solutions. 

4. Add any required adjuvants 

5. Finish filling the spray tank 

Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, fmal filling and throughout application. If 

spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may 

settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be re-suspended before spraying is resumed. 

Settled material may be more difficult to re-suspend than when originally mixed. Agitate 

spray tank every 12 hours to re-suspend apy settled materials. Repeat until spraying can 

resume and the spray tank is empty.

Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray 

volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and ,a uniform spray 

pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to OBTAIN EC better coverage 

when crop canopy is dense. A void swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while 

starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. Do not make 

applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that 

might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional infonnation on spray drift 

refer to the" AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" section 

of this labeL 

SPRAYER CLEANUP 

The spray equipment must be cleaned before OBTAIN'EC HERBICIDE is sprayed. 

Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied products. 

Ifno directions are provided, follow the steps outlined below. 

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of OBTAIN EC 

HERBICIDE are applied, at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be 

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This 

will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the 

application equipment. 

Clean sprayer using the following procedures: 

1. Drain the tank and thoroughly rinse spray tank, boom and hoses with clean water 

especially all visible deposits. 

2. Fill the tank with water and add l;tousehold ammonia to make a 1 % v/v solution 

(1 gal/lOO gal). Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the cleaning solution. 

Circulate for at least 15 minutes. Flush hoses, boom and nozzles once more and 

then drain the tank. 

3. Clean nozzles and screens in a separate container using the 1 % v/v solution of 

ammonia and water. 

4. Repeat Step 2. 

5. Rinse tank and flush boom and hOses with clean water. 

Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources: 

1. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with pertinent regulations. 

2. Check tank mix partner label for any additional clean-up procedures. 

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION 

A voiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The 

interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines the potential for"" 

spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all' tHeft: >,,': 

factors when making decisions. ' ; .. " , , , , , , ,

apply to forestIy applications, public health uses or to applications using dry 

formulations. 

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the 

wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzles must always point backward, parallel with the air stream and never be pointed 

downwards more than 45 degrees, 

When applying OBTAIN EC HERBICIDE in a tank mix with other herbicides (e.g. 2,4-

D, bromoxynil, dicamba, MCPA, sulfonylurea herbicides) in eastern Washington, 

observe all applicable Washington State Depru1ment of Agriculture herbicide rules. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in 

the Aerial Drift Reduction AdvisOlY Information. 

Information On Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift 

management strategy 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 Inversions). 

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 pressmes. For many 

nozzle types, lower pressme produces l<lfger 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 that provide uniform 

coverage. 

Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released pru'allel to the 

airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended 

practice, Significant deflection from horiz.ontal 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, nan-ower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift 

nozzles. Solid stream nozzles Oliented straight back produce the largest droplets and the 

lowest drift. 

Boom Length 

For some use pattel11s, reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan 

or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. >, > >

Application Height ' ; , Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the ton "fthe : ' , , , ,

132

Obtain EC Herbicide FINAL Version (clean) 061209 19 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a crosswind, 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 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, 

including droplet size and equipment type detennine drift potential at any given speed. 

Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high 

inversion potentiaL NOTE: Local tenain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator 

should 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 Inversions 

Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is 

high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes sma1i 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 fonn as the sun sets 

and often continue in the morning. Theil,: 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to a herbicidal 

mode of action. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population if 

herbicides with an identical mode of action are used repeatedly in the same field and 

weed control may fail. The use ofOBTAJN EC HERBICIDE should conform to 

resistance management strategies established for the use area. Consult your agricultural 

advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest management 

practices for your area.

GENERALINFO~TION 

OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE is selective herbicide for control of annual and perennial 

broadleafweeds including kochia, bedstraw (cleavers), common sunflower, volunteer 

flax and volunteer potato in wheat, durum, barley, oats (not under seeded to with a 

legume), field com, sweet com, grain sorghum, millet, pome fruits, onions, fallow 

cropland, and on-farm non~cropland. 

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 

Generally, this product does not require the use of an adjuvant to achieve satisfactory 

weed control when applied alone. However, the addition of an adjuvant may optimize 

herbicidal activity when applications are made (a) at lower carrier volumes, (b) under 

conditions of cool temperatures, low relative humidity or drought, or (c) to small, heavily 

pubescent kochia. Adjuvants may be used when required by a tank mix partner. Follow 

all applicable directions on the label for the tank mix partner. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a 

Chemical Producer's and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant 

SPOT TREATMENTS AND HAND-HELD SPRAYERS 

To prevent miss application, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or 

\Vith hand sprayers according to the direct~pns below. 

Hand-held or backpack sprayers may be uS,ed for spot application of OBTAIN 4 E 

HERBICIDE if care is taken to apply the spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a 

broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based on an area of I ,000 sq. ft. 

The amount of OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE (fl oz orml) in the table should be mixed with 

1 gallon or more of water and applied to an 'area of I ,000 sq ft. To calculate the amount 

of product required for larger areas, multip'jy the table value (ft oz or mI) by the area to be 

treated in "thousands" of square feet, e.g: if the area to be treated is 5,000 sq ft, multiple 

tile table value by 5 (calc. 5,000 II 000 ~ 5) .

APPLICATION TO WHEAT, BARLEY AND OATS 

Apply as a broadcast postemergence treitment to actively growing wheat, barley or oats, 

from the 2 leaf crop stage of growth up to and including flag leaf emergence for control 

of broad leaf weeds. Apply when weeds are actively growing, but before weeds are 8 

inches tall or vining. For control of volunteer potatoes, apply before potato plants are 8 

inches tall. Only weeds emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Extreme 

growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperatures prior to, at, and 

following the time of application may reduce weed control and increase risk of crop 

injury at all stages of growth. Do not use..if cereal crop is underseeded with a 

legume. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control of targeted 

weeds. Applications of OBTAIN 4 E HERBI.CIDE are rain-fast within I hour after 

application. 

Spot Application: Spot applications may·be made, however, to prevent overapplication spot treatments should be appHed at rates and spray volumes equivalent to

or larger. Do not use contralled droplet application equipment, hollow cone-type 

insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray pattern. A drift control 'Or 

spray thickening agent may be used with this product to improve spray depositian and 

minimize the potential for spray drift. If used, follow all the use directions and 

precautions on the product label. 

AERlAL APPLICATION 

Apply in water using a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons/acre (or 30 literslhectare). 

For best results, use a minimum of 5 gallons/acre (or 50 literslhectare) under dry 

conditions or heavy weed infestations. Use nozzles that provide 200 to 350 micron size 

droplets for best results and ta insure uniform spray coverage. Aerial applications with 

OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE should be made with low drift nozzles at a maximum height 

of 10 feet abave the crop and at a maximum pressure of30 psi. Da not apply aerially 

when wind speed is greater than 10 mph. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent crops, 

as iI~ury or loss may occur. 

See the "AERIAL DRlFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" section oftlris 

label for additional information on how to reduce drift during aerial applica.tian. 

OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE TANK MIj(TURES 

Read and follow all manufacturers' label recommendations for any herbicides, 

fungicides, and/or insecticides tank mixed with OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE. If those 

recommendations conflict with this label, do not tank mix that product with OBTAIN 4 E 

HERBICIDE. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings 

for any tank mix praduct. Follow the most restrictive labeling. 

TANK MIXING PRECAUTIONS: 

• Read carefully and follow all applw,able use directions, precautions, and 

limitations on the respective product. labels. 

• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide 

product containing the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of 

either tank mix partner specifies the-maximum dosages that may be used. 

• For praducts packaged in water soluble packaging, do nat tank mix with products 

containing boron or mix in equipment previously used to apply products 

containing boron unless the tank arid spray equipment has been adequately 

cleaned. 

• Always perform a jar test ta insure the compatibility of products to be tank mixed. 

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING 

Perform ajar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of OBTAIN 4 E 

HERBICIDE and other pesticides, fertilizers or carriers. Use a clear glass quart jar with 

lid and mix the tank mix ingredients (including water) in there relative proportions. 
155

Obtain 4 E Herbicide Fb .. .L Version (clean) 111408 17 

Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for 

approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludge's, gels or forms 

oily films, layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix 

combination should not be used. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

Fill the spray tank with water to 1,4 to 112 of the required volume. Start agitation. Add 

different fonnulation types in order indicated, allowing time for complete mixing and 

dispersion after addition of each. 

1. Add dry flowable or wettable powder tank mix products 

2. Add aqueous suspensions, flowables or liquids 

3. Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to :x ofthe total spray volume and then add 

OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE and other emulsifiable concentrates and any 

solutions. 

4. Add any required adjuvants 

5. Finish filling the spray tank 

Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout application. If 

spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials 

may settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be re~suspended before spraying is 

resumed. Settled material may be more difficult to re-suspend than when originally 

mixed. Agitate spray tank every 12 hours to re-suspend any settled materials. Repeat 

until spraying can resume and the spray tank is empty. 

SPRAY EQUIPMENT 

For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for 

additional information on OPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle 

heights above the target canopy, etc. 

Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray 

volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray 

pattern with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to OBTAIN 4 E better coverage 

when crop canopy is dense. A void swath overlapping, and shut off spray booms while 

starting, turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. Do not make 

applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or during weather conditions that 

might cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift 

refer to the" AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION" 

section of this label. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP 

The spray equipment must be cleaned before OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE is sprayed. 

Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of the previously applied 

products. I£no directions are provided, follow the steps outlined below. 
156

Obtain 4 E Herbicide Fil ...;'Version (clean) 111408 18 

It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of OBTAIN 4 E 

HERBICIDE are applied, at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be 

rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This 

will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits, which can accumulate in the 

application equipment. 

Clean sprayer using the following procedures: 

1. Drain the tank and thoroughly rinse spray tank, boom and hoses with clean water 

especially all visible deposits. 

2. Fill the tank with water and add household ammonia to make a 1 % v/v solution 

(1 gall 1 00 gal). Flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with the cleaning solution. 

Circulate for at least 15 minutes. Flush hoses, boom and nozzles once more and 

then drain the tank. 

3. Clean nozzles and screens in a separate container using the 1 % v/v solution of 

ammonia and water. 

4. Repeat Step 2. 

5. Rinse tank and flush boom and hoses with clean water. 

Do not clean sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources: 

1. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with pertinent regulations. 

2. Check tank mix partner label for any additional clean-up procedures. 

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION 

Avoiding spray drift at the application ?ite is the responsibility of the applicator. The 

interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors detennines 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 agri\~ultura1 field crops. These requirements do 

not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry 

fonnulations. 

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the length of the 

wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzles must always point backward, parallel with the air stream and never be pointed 

downwards more than 45 degrees. 

When applying OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE in a tank mix with other herbicides (e.g. 

2,4-D, bromoxynil, dicarnba, MCPA, sulfonylurea herbicides) in eastern Washington, 

observe aU applicable Washington State Department of Agriculture herbicide rules. 

The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the infonnation covered in 

the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Infonnation.

Obtain 4 E Herbicide Ffh. ~ Version (clean) 111408 19 

Information On Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift 

management strategy 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 Inversions). 

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 number of nozzles that provide lllliforrn 

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. Significant deflection from horizontal 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 lowdrift 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 % of the 

wingspan or rotor length may further reduc;e drift without reducing swath width. 

Application Height 

Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the 

largest plants unless a greater height is reqpired 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 crosswind, 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 

Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of2 to 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 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 spray drift. 
158

Obtain 4 E Herbicide FIJ .~ Version (clean) 111408 20 

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 Inversions 

Applications should 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 in 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 concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

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

air mixing. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally res.istant to a herbicidal 

mode of action. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population if 

herbicides with an identical mode of action are used repeatedly in the same field and 

weed control may fail. The use of OBTAIN 4 E HERBICIDE should confonn to 

resistance management strategies established for the use area. Consult your agricultural 

advisor for resistance management strategies and recommended pest management 

practices for your area. 

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

4) LABEL LANGUAGE 

• Expand Small Grains- The term "small grains" at the top of page 1 of the draft product 

label is not clear and does not appear to be a commonly used term on herbicide labels. I 

located the "small grains" term on the 71368~87 (26.2% Fluroxypyr) product which has 

uses similar to those of this new product. For the purposes of greater label clarity, I 

instructed the registrant to define the term "small grains" using the terms wheat, barley, 

and oats from the Directions for Use on page 5. 

• Delete Durum Reference - Wheat is listed as a site in the Directions for Use, but is not 

referenced on page I of the label. Fluroxypyr is registered for use on Wheat, and I was 

able to locate a label with "wheat (including dururn) specifically referenced on the label 

as a use site. However, the labeling for this product references "durum" on page 4 in a 

manner which indicates it is a separate crop. I instructed the registrant to delete the 

reference to durum since there is no reference to it in the application instructions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute oral toxicity study (MRID 47601104), young adult 

female Sprague-Dawley rats (age: 10-11 weeks; weight: 173-222 g; source: Ace Animals, Inc., 

Boyertown, PA) were given a single oral dose of Obtain EC (Fluroxypyr I-methy1heptyl ester45.5%; Lot No. 08-143-001; pale yellow liquid; stable in methanol) after being fasted overnight. 

Based on the estimated LDso of the test material supplied by the Registrant (5000 mg/kg), a Main 

Test was conducted using a default starting dose of level of 175 mglkg, which was administered 

to one healthy female rat by oral gavage. Following the Up and Down Procedure, fourteen 

additional animals were dosed at levels of 550, 1750 or 5000 mg/kg. Females were selected for 

the study because they are frequently more sensitive to the toxicity of test-compounds than 

males. 

Individual body weights were recorded prior to the test material administration (initial) and again 

on Days 7 and 14 (termination) following dosing. The test animals were observed for mortality, 

signs of toxicity and behavioral changes during the first several hours post-dosing and at least 

once daily thereafter for up to 14 days. Gross necropsies were performed on all decedents and 

euthanized animals. 

From Pages 12 and 13 of the study: 

175 mg/kg and 550 mg/kg Dose Levels (l animal each): Both animals survived, gained body 

weight, and appeared active and healthy during the study. There were no signs of gross toxicity, 

adverse pharmacologic effects, or abnormal behavior. No gross abnormalities were noted for 

either of the animals when necropsied at the cOI?-c1usion of the 14-day observation period. 

1,750 mg/kg Dose Level (5 animals): All animils survived exposure to the test substance and 

gained body weight during the study. Following administration, one female was hypoactive and 

four females exhibited piloerection and/or reduced fecal volume. However, the animals 

recovered by Day 2 and appeared active and healthy for the remainder of the 14-day observation 

period. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the animals when necropsied at the 

conclusion of the 14-day observation period. 

5,000 mg/kg Dose Level (8 animals): Four females died within two days of test substance 

administration. Prior to death, the animals were hypoactive and exhibited hunched posture, 

Page 4 of21 
172

EPA File Symbo166330~GIL Obtain 4E 

reduced fecal volume, and/or piloerection. Following administration, all surviving animals were 

hypoactive and two animals exhibited reduced fecal volume, and/or ano-genital staining. 

However, they recovered by Day 4 and appeared active and healthy for the remainder of the 

study, gaining body weight over the entire 14~day observation period. Gross necropsy of the 

decedents revealed discoloration of the intestines and/or lungs, and an abdomen filled with clear 

fluid and nasal staining. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the euthanized animals 

when necropsied at the conclusion of the 14~day observation period. 

Oral LDso Females = 5000 mglkg bw (The one dose with partial response; 95% PL Confidence 

interval is 3286 to Greater than 20,000) 

Based on the Oral LDsoin females, Obtain EC is classified as EPA Toxicity Category III. 

This acute oral study is classified as Acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for an 

acute oral study (OPPTS 870.1100; OECD 425) in the rat. 

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

2001) was used for all data analyses including: dose progression selections, stopping criteria 

determinations and/or LDso and confidence limit calculations. 

A. Mortality: Four females administered 5000 mglkg died within two days of test material 

administration. 

B. Clinical observations: 175 mglkg and 559 mg/kg Dose Levels (1 animal each): There were 

no signs of gross toxicity, adverse phannacologic effects, or abnormal behavior. 

1,750 mglkg Dose Level (5 animals): Following-administration, one female was hypoactive and 

four females exhibited piloerection and/or reduced fecal volume. However, the animals 

recovered by Day 2 and appeared active and healthy for the remainder of the 14-day observation 

period. 

5,000 mglkg Dose Level (8 animals): Four ferilales died within two days of test substance 

administration. Prior to death, the animals were hypoactive and exhibited hunched posture, 

reduced fecal volume, and/or piloerection. Following administration, all surviving animals were 

hypoactive and two animals exhibited reduced fecal volume, and/or ano-genital staining. 

However, they recovered by Day 4 and appeare.d active and healthy for the remainder of the 

study, gaining body weight over the entire 14-day observation period. 

C. Gross Necropsv: 175,550 and 1,750 mglkg (7 animals): No gross abnonnalities were noted 

for any of the euthanized animals when necropsied at the conclusion of the l4-day observation 

period. 

5,000 mglkg Dose Level (8 animals): Gross necropsy of the decedents revealed discoloration of 

the intestines and/or lungs, and an abdomen filled with clear fluid and nasal staining. No gross 

abnormalities were noted for any of the euthanized animals when necropsied at the conclusion of 

the 14-day observation period.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute dermal toxicity study (MRID 47601107), young adult 

Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex; age: 8-9 weeks; body weight: males: 236-249 g and females: 184-

194 g; source: Ace Animals, Inc., Boyertown, PA) were dermally exposed for 24 hours on an 

area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area on the clipped dorsal trunk to 5000 

mglkg of Obtain EC (Fluroxypyr I-methylheptyl ester - 45.5%; Lot No. 08-143-001; pale 

yellow liquid; stable in methanol). The test material was applied evenly over the dose area and 

covered with a gauze pad. The gauze pad and the entire trunk of each animal were wrapped with 

Durapore tape. After the exposure period, the pads were removed and the test sites were 

cleansed of any residual test material. Indivi4UflI body weights were recorded prior to test 

material application and again on Days 7 and·14. Animals were observed for mortality, signs of 

gross toxicity and behavioral changes during the first hours after application and at least once 

daily thereafter for 14 days. Gross necropsies_ ere perfonned on all animals. 

All animals survived and gained body weight during the study. Dermal irritation (erythema and 

desquamation) was noted at four female dose sites between Days 1 and 9. No other clinical signs 

were noted for any animal over the course of~e study. No gross abnonnalities were noted at 

necropsy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a primary eye irritation study (MRlD 47601108),0.1 mL of 

Obtain EC (Fluroxypyr I-methylheptyl ester - 45.5%; Lot No. 08-143-001; pale yellow liquid; 

stable in methanol) of was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three young adult 

female New Zealand White rabbits (source: Robinson Services, Inc., Clemmons, NC). The 

untreated eye served as a control. Prior to instillation, 2-3 drops of ocular anesthetic (Tetracaine 

Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution, 0.5%) were placed into both the treated and the control eye 

of each animal. Ocular irritation was evaluated using a high-intensity white light in accordance 

with Draize et al (1944) at 1,24,48 and 72 hours and at 4 days post-instillation. The time 

interval with the highest mean score (Maxim'l.l..t;n Mean Total Score - MMTS) for all rabbits was 

used to classify the test material by the sys~e~ of Kay and Calandra (1962). 

Corneal opacity (score 1) was observed in 113 eyes at 24 and 48 hours. Iritis (score 1) was 

observed in 3/3 eyes from one hour to 48 houTs. Conjunctival redness (score 2) was observed in 

3/3 eyes at one hour and in 2/3 eyes at 24 and 48 hours. Conjunctival discharge (score 2 and 3) 

was observed in 3/3 eyes at one hour and in 2/3 eyes at 24 and 48 hours. All ocular irritation was 

resolved by Day 4. The MMTS of Obtain EC:was 15.7, recorded one hour after test material 

instillation. " 

In this study, the formulation was mildly irritating to the eye. Obtain EC is classified as 

EPA Toxicity Category In for primary eye irritation. 

This study is classified as Acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirement for a primary eye

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a dermal sensitization study (MRID 4760 II 06) with 30 young 

adult male Hartley albino guinea pigs (body weight: 377-493 g; source: Elm Hill Breeding Labs, 

Chelmsford, MA) were tested using the Buehler Method. Once a week for three weeks, fourtenths of a milliliter of the undiluted test material was topically applied to twenty guinea pigs 

using an occlusive 25 mm Hill Top Chamber. The chambers were secured in place and wrapped 

with non-allergenic adhesive tape. After a 6-hoill exposure period, the chambers were removed 

and the test sites gently cleansed of any resid'l:l~ test material. Approximately 24 and 48 hours 

after each induction application, readings were made oflocal reactions (erythema). Twentyeight days after the first induction dose, four-tenths of a milliliter of a 50% w/w mixture of the 

test material in mineral oil [highest non-irritating concentration (HNIC)] was applied to a naIve 

site on the right side of each animal as a challknge dose. These sites were evaluated for a 

sensitization response (erythema) approximat~ly 24 and 48 hours after the challenge application. 

A naIve control group (ten animals) was maintained under the same conditions and treated with 

the test material at challenge only. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after each induction and 

challenge dose, the animals were scored for erythema. 

From Pages 13 and 14 of the study: 

Induction Phase - Test Animals (100% test substance): Very faint to faint erythema (0.5-1) was 

noted for all test sites during the induction phase. 

Historical Positive Control Animals (100% ofHCA): Very faint to faint erythema (0.5-1) was 

noted for all positive control sites during the induction phase. 

Challenge Phase - Test Animals (50% w/w mixture of the test substance in distilled water): Very 

faint erythema (0.5) was noted at seven of nineteen test sites 24 hours after challenge. Very faint 

erythema (0.5) was observed at eight sites at 48 hours. 

Naive Control Animals (50% w/w mixture of the test substance in distilled water): Very faint 

erythema (0.5) was noted for three often naive control sites 24 hours after challenge. Similar 

irritation persisted at one site through 48 hours.

Footnotes 

A. This consideration does not apply to PRIA applications that include a request to 

approve an inert in the fee category. For these PRIA actions, information needs to be 

submitted to enable the Agency to review the inert approval request and will be a subject 

of the 21 day content screen. For other types of actions and for fragrances, the answer is 

only for the Agency's information and current policies, processes, and procedures should 

be consulted. This worksheet will be updated in the future to be consistent with current 

policies. 

If brand, trade, or proprietary names are being used for some inert ingredients listed on 

the eSF, alternate names or additional information on the nature of the ingredient(s) 

should be provided to allow the Agency to detennine whether the inert has been 

approved. 

B. A policy on documentation 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 R301 or 

A53l. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

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

C. Refer to the list of data requirements. Biopesticide applicants were 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.

From: :::hae~ ~Lti:)D;v;s;on Re: Alternate CSF #1 Dated 4/23/10; EPA Decision #: 443594 

As part of a label amendment action cited above, the registrant submitted an Alternate CSF #1 dated 

4/23/10 to support uses being added to the end-use product label from the technical source label. The 

review of the proposed Alternate CSF #1 was submitted as a Notification to the Agency (EPA Decision #: 

433221), and has not yet been processed. 

Shyam Mathur/TRB Chemistry Team Leader was asked to review the Alternate CSF #1 dated 4/23/10 for 

acceptability. The determination was made that the alternate formula is acceptable. Since the review 

ofthe CSF has not been completed, it will need to be closed by the reviewer as a separate action.
