V-10142 Ag Herbicide is a Group 2 herbici de. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to V-10142 Ag and other Group 2 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 2 herbicides may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 2 her bicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primar y method of control for target ed species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of t hose species by V-10142 Ag or other Group 2 herbicides.

To delay herbicide resistance consider:

• Avoiding the consecutive use of V-10142 Ag or other target site of action Group 2 herbicides that might have a similar ta rget site of action, on the same weed species.

• Using tank mixtures or premix es with herbicides from differ ent target site of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action and are both effectiv e at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.

• Basing herbicide selection on an Integrat ed Pest Management (IPM) program that includes scouting, record keeping, and consi deration of cultivation practices, water management, weed free crop seed, crop rotati on, and other chemical or cultural control practices.

• Monitoring treated weed population for resistance development and reporting suspected resistance.

• Contacting your local ext ension specialist, certif ied crop advisors and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistanc e management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.

..7 GENERAL INFORMATION

V-10142 Ag is a selective herbicide which pr ovides contact and residual control of susceptible weeds in labeled crops. V-10142 Ag inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which plants require to produce three key amino acids. Nutsedge and other susceptible weeds usually stop growing within 7 to 14 days after treatment, and turn yellow or brown within 21 days after treatment. Plant death typically occurs by 21 to 28 days after
treatment.

V-10142 Ag is absorbed by plant foliage and r oots. Plant uptake and performance of V-10142 Ag is influenced by environmental c onditions, cultural practices and spray
coverage.

For postemergence application, applying V-10142 Ag to actively growing weeds optimizes control and/or suppression of susceptible weeds . Factors such as weed species present, size of weeds at application, environmental c onditions and other factors which affect plant metabolism may affect the length of residual ac tivity and the degree of control provided by V-10142 Ag.

Restrictions and Limitations

• Do not apply more than 6.4 oz/A (0.3 lb ai /A) of V-10142 Ag during a single application.

• Do not apply more than 6.4 oz/A (0.3 lb ai/A) of V-10142 Ag during a single calendar
year.

• After application of V-10142 Ag, temporary yello wing or stunting of the crop may occur.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag when weather conditi ons favor drift fr om treated areas.

• For aerial application, do not apply V-10142 Ag Herbicide within 1/4 mile of emerged cotton or non-STS soybeans.

• For ground application, do not apply V-10142 Ag Herbicide within 100 feet of emerged non-target crops.

• Do not apply to rice fields if fields are used for the aquaculture of edible fish and/or
crustaceans.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag during low-level inversion conditions, including fog.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag to stressed crops or weeds. Stress conditions include, but are not limited to, soil moisture above field capac ity, drought, temperatures below or above those known to be conducive for healthy growth, low fertility, carryover from a previous pesticide application or conditions/fact ors that decrease plant metabolism.

• When applying V-10142 Ag by air (to rice on ly), observe “Spray Drift Management” instructions and precautions lis ted under “Aerial Application”.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag using airblast spray equipment.

• Follow V-10142 Ag label directions in “Sprayer Cleanout” section.

• Water drained from V-10142 Ag treated fields must not be used to irrigate other crops.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag to second crop (stubble/ratoon) rice.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag in tank mix combin ation or sequential ap plication programs with other soil residual acetol actate synthase (ALS) inhibiti ng herbicides on tomatoes or
peppers.8 • Do not apply V-10142 Ag to a crop that has received or will receive a soil applied organophosphate insecticide.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag within 21 days before, or 7 days after, a foliar organophosphate insectic ide application.

• After application of V-10142 Ag follow all normal agricultural cultural practices, including cultivation, and ensure that adequate soil moistu re is maintained either by rainfall or irrigation.

• Weed biotypes that exhibit resistance or to lerance to herbicides that inhibit the ALS enzyme may also exhibit resistanc e or tolerance to V-10142 Ag.

Environmental Conditions an d Biological Performance V-10142 Ag should be used as an integral part of a weed control program in conjunction with a resistance management strategy (see “R esistance Management” statement in this label). The mode of action is t he inhibition of the ALS enzyme. V-10142 Ag will, in most cases, prevent the emergence of susceptible weeds if application is made to a clean wellprepared seedbed. In some instances, susceptib le weeds may germinate and emerge after application, but then growth ceases. The weed becomes chlorotic and either dies within 7 to 21 days or remains green but significant ly stunted and noncompetitive. For optimum results from an application made prior to the emergence of su sceptible weeds, rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move V-10142 Ag into the soil. Applications to emerged susceptible weeds should be made when we eds are actively growing, have adequate soil moisture, are 1 to 3 inches in height and are not stressed due to environmental/biological/soil conditions [s uch as drought, extreme (high or low) temperatures, inadequate soil fertility, diseases or insects]. Susceptible weeds larger than 1 to 3 inches in height may not be adequately controll ed. If cultivation is necessary to control unsusceptible weeds or for susceptible weeds that were larger than the recommended size at application, delay cultivati on for at least 7 days after t he application. Cultivation made either 1 to 7 days prior to a postemergence application, or sooner than 7 days after an application, may result in unacceptable or partial weed control.

Rainfastness For postemergence applications V-10142 Ag is rainfast 6 hours after application.

Soil Characteristics Soil pH, temperature and moisture affect th e degradation of V-10142 Ag. Soil pH above 7, low temperatures and lack of moisture (less than 18 inches of rainfall, or irrigation, in the first six months after application) will dec rease the degradation rate of V-10142 Ag. In cropping systems that employ drip irrigation the rotational interval may need to be extended. These conditions also affect soil microbial populations, and increase the persistence of V-10142 Ag in the soil. Persist ence of V-10142 Ag in the soil increases the potential for rotational crop injury and yield reduction.

Adjuvants When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Valent recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Associati on certified adjuvant. For applications of V-10142 Ag that require a surfactant or other adjuvant, refer to t he Valent Bulletin, “Approved Surfactants for Use with V-10142 Ag”.9 Mixing and Spraying Equipm ent Preparation and Cleanup Precaution : Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia. Remove all traces of liquid fertilizer containing any form of ammonia or ammonium before adding any chlorine source such as chlorine bleach.

Prior to using V-10142 Ag thoroughly drai n, clean and rinse all mixing and spraying equipment that will come in contact wit h V-10142 Ag. Follow the cleanup procedures recommended by the manufacturer of the previously sprayed pr oduct. Failure to remove all deposits of previously sprayed products may re sult in collection of V-10142 Ag residues and inhibit cleanup of mixing and spraying equi pment after V-10142 Ag use. Failure to remove all deposits of previously sprayed produc ts may also result in reduced efficacy of V-10142 Ag and/or crop injury.

Mixing Instructions 1. Fill the tank one-half full of clean water. 2. Begin agitation. 3. Buffer spray water if pH is below 7. If f oaming is anticipated, add defoamer prior to the addition of the surfactant. Do not use products that reduce the pH of the spray solution as they may reduce weed control. 4. Add the required am ount of V-10142 Ag. 5. Add the surfactant if the applicat ion is to be made a fter weed emergence. 6. Add tank mix partner (i f any) in the following order: a. Water soluble packets (preferably added before the surfactant). b. Water dispersible granules/wettable powder c. Soluble powders/UAN d. Suspension concentrate e. Emulsifiable concentrate 7. Fill the remainder of the tank. 8. Mix only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. V-10142 Ag must be applied within 12 hours of mixing.

Application Equipment Application equipment should be clean and functi oning properly. Proper sprayer calibration is required. Nozzles should be spaced to provide even, complete coverage and calibration should frequently be checked for accuracy. Select nozzles that deliver the recommended gallonage. Use the pressure range recommended by the manufacturer for the selected nozzle.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT

• Aerial application refers to rice only.

Do not allow spray from ground or aerial e quipment to drift onto adjacent land or
crops . The interaction of many equipment a nd weather related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all factors involved in mini mizing drift potential.10 When drift may be a problem, do ever ything possible to reduce spray drift. The following aerial drift reduction adv isory information must be followed to avoid off target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 1. Do not spray if wind speed is greater t han 8 mph or less than 2 mph. If sensitive crops or plants are downwind, extreme c aution must be used under all conditions. 2. The distance between t he outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. 4. Do not apply under conditions involving pos sible drift to food, forage or other plantings that might be dam aged or the crops t hereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. 5. When making tank mixture applications follo w the most restrictive label directions, including application buffer zones, of each product in the mixture. 6. Nozzles should be at a minimum of 10 inc hes below the trailing edge of the wing on a fixed wing aircraft to prevent spray particles from bei ng released into turbulent air.

Importance of Droplet Size The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets t hat provide sufficient coverage and control. Use nozzle types and nozzle arrangements that will provide maximum coverage and minimize the potential fo r off target movement of spray particles. Droplet size for both ground and air applications mu st be in the “medium” size category as defined in the August 1999 ASAE S572 publication entitled, “Spray Nozzle Classification by Drop Spectra”. Refer to that publication for a dditional information. Re gardless of droplet size, if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target movement will occur. (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections in this label).

Controlling Droplet Size Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medium droplets to apply the highest practical spray volume.

Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle and do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended pressu re. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetrati on. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.

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

Nozzle orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards parallel to the air-stream will produce la rger droplets than ot her orientations. Significant deflection from t he horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.11 Nozzle type: Use a nozzle type that is designed fo r the intended app lication. Do not use air inducting or flood type nozzles.

Boom length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingsp an or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

Application: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plant s unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowe st height that is safe reduce s exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.

Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusti ng the path of the aircraft upwi nd. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potentia l (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).

Wind Variable wind speeds with chang ing directions may pose the largest potential for drift damage if crops other than rice ar e adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 8 mph. Howe ver, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine dri ft potential at any given speed. Application must be avoided if wind speed is 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 pattern s and how they affect drift.

Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative hum idity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for ev aporation, but they still should remain within the medium droplet size category. Droplet evaporation is most seve re when conditions are both hot and dry.

Temperature Inversions Do not spray at times when spray particles may be entrained into a temperature inversion layer. If inversion conditions are suspect ed, consult with local weather services before making an application. Applications must not occur during temperature inversion, because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatur es with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Sm oke that layers and moves laterally in a connected cloud (u nder low wind conditions) i ndicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards and rapidly dissi pates indicates good vertical air mixing.12 Sensitive Areas The pesticide must only be applied when the potent ial for drift to adjacent sensitive areas ( e.g. , residential areas, bodies of water, kn own habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal ( e.g. , when wind is blowing aw ay from the sensitive areas).

Sprayer Cleanout Residual amounts of herbicide in/on mixing or spraying equipment may have an adverse effect on subsequently sprayed crops. Thor oughly drain, clean and rinse all mixing and spraying equipment (including tanks, boom s, hoses, strainers, screens and nozzles) immediately after use. Use the following procedure: 1. Remove all physical residue. 2. Thoroughly drain and rinse tanks, booms and hoses with clean water. 3. Fill the tank one-half full of clean water and use a spraying/mixing tank cleaner that does not contain chlorine. Let agitate/re-circ ulate according to the directions of the cleaner manufacturer. Thoroughly flush the boom and hoses before draining. 4. Rinse all hoses, tanks, nozzles, stra iners and booms with clean water to remove the tank cleaner. Follow the directions prov ided by the tank cleaner manufacturer. 5. Fill the tank half full of clean water and add one (1) gallon of 3% active household ammonia for every 100 gallons of water the tank will hold. Fill the remainder of the tank with clean water and allow the solution to agitate/recirculate for 15 minutes. Thoroughly flush the ammonia cleaning solution through the boom, nozzles, screens and strainers before draining the tank. 6. Remove the strainers, nozzles and screens and clean separately in a solution of one part 3% active household ammonia to 100 parts water. 7. Replace the strainer(s), nozzles and screens. 8. Repeat step 5. 9. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean wa ter and flush the water through the boom, nozzles and hoses in order to re move the traces of ammonia. 10. Dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.13 ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS The following rotational intervals are recommended fo r crop safety. Crop injury may result if the specified intervals are not followed. The rotational interval should be extended 6 to 8 months if either drought condi tions and/or extended periods of cool conditions occur after application. These conditions and/or failure to use conventional tillage and cultivation cultural practices increases the persist ence of V-10142 Ag in the soil and therefore increases the potential for rotational crop in jury and yield reduction. In cropping systems that employ drip irrigation, the rota tional interval may need to be extended.

### DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN PE PPERS (BELL AND NON BELL)

Specific Use Instructions

• Movement of soil may influence resi dual activity and/or crop response.

• Use a higher rate if there is a field histor y of nutsedge or if weed pressure is normally heavy.

• A rainfall event or overhead irrigation supplying 1/2 to 1 inch of water no sooner than 12 hours, but not more than 5 days after applicat ion, is necessary to activate V-10142 Ag and carry it into the soil solution.

• When weeds are emerged at time of applicati on (1 to 3 inches in height), use an approved surfactant as specified (see Adjuvant section in this label).

Restrictions and Limitations

• Do not apply more than 6.4 oz of V-10142 Ag per acre per year.

• Make only one application per year.

• Make application to field grown peppers only.

• Apply to well established peppers (at least 10 inches tall).

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag by air on peppers.

APPLICATION RATES FOR USE ON PEPPERS (Bell and Non Bell)

V-10142 Ag Rates PHI Special Instructions

Row Middle, Plastic Mulc h or Bare Soil Culture A row middle (between the rows) application may be made at any time during the cropping season (up to 21 days before harvest), as long as the peppers are well established and at least 10 inches tall.

• Avoid contact with the pepper crop. When application is being made to peppers grown in plastic mulch culture, equi pment must be adjusted to prevent the spray from contacting the plastic. 4 to 6.4 oz/A (0.19 to 0.3 lb ai/A) 21 days

Directed Spray A post-directed application (under the rows) may be made at any time during the cropping season (up to 21 days before harvest), as long as the peppers are well established and at least 10 inches tall.

• Avoid contact with the pepper fruit and direct application to the pepper plant.

• Application must be directed toward the pepper stem, no higher than 2 inches from the soil surface.

• Refer to Table 1 for preemergence weeds controlled and weeds suppressed.

• Refer to Table 2 for postemergence w eeds controlled and weeds suppressed.15 Ground Application For row middle application, determine the area to be sprayed and calculate the amount of V-10142 Ag and water needed based on a broadcast total spray volume of 20 to 40 gallons of water per acre and a V-10142 Ag rate of 4.27 to 6.4 oz/A (0.2 to 0.3 lb ai/A). For example, if the rows are 36 inches and 18 in ches between the rows is the area to be sprayed at the rate of 6.4 oz/A (0.3 lb ai/A), the V10142 Ag calculation is:

Band Width in Inches

Row Width in Inches X Rate per Broadcast Acre = Amount V-10142 Ag Needed per Acre for Row Middle Application

Example: 18” x 6.4 oz/A = 3.2 oz/A for row middle application 36”

If the broadcast water volume selected is 30 gallons per acre, the calculation is:

Specific Use Instructions

• Movement of soil may influence resi dual activity and/or crop response.

• Use a higher rate if there is a field histor y of nutsedge or if weed pressure is normally heavy.

• A rainfall event or overhead irrigation supplyi ng 1/2 to 1 inch of water no sooner than 12 hours, but not more than 5 days after applic ation, is necessary to activate V-10142 Ag and carry it into the soil solution.

• When weeds are emerged at time of applicati on (1 to 3 inches in height), use an approved surfactant as specified (see adjuvant section in this label).

Restrictions and Limitations

• Do not apply more than 6.4 oz of V-10142 Ag per acre per year.

• Make only one application per year.

• Make application to field grown tomatoes only.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag by air on tomatoes.16 APPLICATION RATES FOR USE IN TOMATO

V-10142 Ag Rates PHI Special Instructions

Pre-Transplant, Non-Plastic Mulch Culture

• Apply V-10142 Ag pre-tr ansplant to a prepared weed-free planting bed.

• Transplanting may begin 1 day after application.

Pre-Transplant Under Plastic Mulch

• Apply V-10142 Ag after t he last tillage operation and just prior to the installation of plastic mulch (weeds not emerged).

• Transplanting may begin 1 day after application.

Direct Seeded

• A postemergence “over the top application” of V-10142 Ag may be made to well-established tomatoes (4 to 5 leaf stage of development).

• Application may be made through the early bloom stage.

Post Transplant

• A postemergence “over the top” application of V-10142 Ag may be made from 3 to 5 days after transplanting through the ear ly bloom stage, if a pre-transplant applicat ion was NOT made. 4 to 6.4 oz/A (0.19 to 0.3 lb ai/A) 21 days

Directed Spray, Transplanted or Direct Seeded

• A directed spray of V-10142 Ag may be made to transplanted (non-plastic mulch culture) or direct seeded tomatoes after they are well established (4 to 5 leaf stage of development), if a pretransplant application was not made. The spray should cover the soil surface (from the crop row to the row middle) if possible.

• Refer to Table 1 for preemergence weeds controlled and weeds suppressed.

• Refer to Table 2 for postemergence w eeds controlled and weeds suppressed.

Ground Application Apply V-10142 Ag in 20 to 40 gallons of water per acre and ensure thorough, uniform coverage. For banded application, use proportionately less water and V-10142 Ag.17 Table 1. Preemergence Weeds Controlle d and Weeds Suppressed by V-10142 Ag

### DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN RICE

Specific Use Instructions

• Use the higher rate if there is a field histor y of nutsedge or if weed pressure is normally heavy.

• A rainfall event supplying 1/2 to 1 inch of water no sooner than 12 hours, but not more than 5 days after application is necessary to activate V-10142 Ag and carry it into the soil solution.

• When weeds are emerged at time of applicati on (1 to 3 inches in height), use an approved surfactant as specified (see Adjuvant section in this label).

• At the time of application to dry broadcast seeded or water-seeded rice, the seed and roots must be covered with soil and the plan t must be living entirel y off of the root system.

• When application is made post-flood, the flood wa ter must be lowered so that at least 70% of the weed surface is above the flood wate r. Bring the field to normal flood level 3 to 4 days after application.

• When application is made to non-flooded fields, flood the fields as soon as the rice will tolerate a flood, but not sooner than 24 hours after application.

Restrictions and Limitations

• Do not apply to second crop (stubble/ratoon) rice.

• Fields with a history of weed resistance to ALS-inhibiting her bicides may exhibit resistance to V-10142 Ag.

• Do not apply V-10142 Ag to stressed rice.

• For aerial application, do not apply V-10142 Ag within 1/4 mile of emerged cotton or non-STS soybeans.

• For ground application, do not apply V-10142 Ag within 100 feet of emerged non-target
crops.

• Do not apply to rice fields if fields are used for the aquaculture of edible fish and/or
crustaceans.

• Do not drain the field for 7 days after application when making a postemergence application to a flooded field.

• Do not apply more than 6.4 oz of V-10142 Ag per acre per year.

• At the time of application to broadcast dry-seeded or water-seeded rice, the seed and roots must be covered with soil and the plant must be living entirely off the root system.

• For tank mix applications with propanil containi ng products, read and follow the entire label of each product to be used in the tank mix.

• Do not apply an organophos phate insecticide withi n 21 days before, or 7 days after, an application of V-10142 Ag.

.

• Refer to Table 3 for preemergence weeds controlled by V-10142 Ag.

• Refer to Table 4 for postemergence weeds controlled by V-10142 Ag.20 Aerial Application - Rice Only Uniformly apply V-10142 Ag by aircraft in no less than 10 gallons of water per acre total spray volume. Inadequate coverage will result in unacceptable weed control and/or weed regrowth. Any factor, such as reduced spra y volume, which adversely affects coverage and/or canopy penetration will have a negative effect on the performance of V-10142 Ag. Use nozzle arrangements that provide maximu m coverage and minimize potential for off target movement of spray particles. Droplet si ze should be in the “medium” size category as defined in the August 1999 ASAE S572 publicati on entitled, “Spray Nozzle Classification by Droplet Spectra”. Refer to that publication for additional information.

Ground Application Apply V-10142 Ag in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre and ensure thorough, uniform coverage.
