DG AGt make a gFGURG appliGatioR of RIiiSiOURCE:wi\AIR 14 days afaR aarial Bppliaaoon. 

ENVIRONMENTAl CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

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

this label. Applying Resource under condillons that do not promote active weed growth will reduce herbicide' 

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

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

to herbicidal action. Resource Is mosl effective when applied under sunny conditions at temperatures above 

7QoF. 

RAINFASTNESS 

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

hour of application or efficacy may be reduced. 

ADDITIVES 

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

mixture. Either a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil, which contains at least 15% emulslfiersand 80% 

all. may be used when applying Resource. Certain tank mixes require the use ofa non-Ionic surfactant Nonionic surfactantmustcontaln at 1&35t80% active ingredient and must be EPA approved for use on food crops. 

Mixing and compatibility qualities should be verified by a jar test 

A spraygrade,nitrOg80 source (either ammonium sulfate at2.0t02.5Ibs./A or 28 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 

to 2 qts.lA) may be added to the spray mixture along With either crop all concentrate. methylated seed oil or 

non-ionic surfactant toenhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source does not replaoothe need for 

crop 011 concentrate. methylated seed oil. or non-ionic surfactant. 

JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

Ajar leslshould be performed before mixing commercial quantities of ReSOUtreYAlen using R&souroeforthe 

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

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

be used in the spray tank mixing operation. 

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

3. Add 6 ml (1 tsp.) of the crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil to the quart jar. gently mix. If a nonIonic surfactant is being used in a tank mix. add 2.5 ml (0.3 tsp.) of the non-ionic surfactant in place of the 

all. 

4. If nitrogen is being used, add 16 ml {1 tbsp. orO.5 oz.}of the 28 to 32% nitrogen source to the quart jar. If 

ammonium sulfate Is being used, add 19 gms AMS to the quart jar in place of the 2810 32% nitrogen. 

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

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

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

conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: 

a) Layer of 011 or globules on the mixture's surface. 

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

c) Clobbering: Thicl<.ning texture (coogulate<l) like gelatin.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Fitl spray tank with wafer 1/3 to 1/2 of desired levefwith dean water. 

2. While agitating, add the required amount of Resource. Agitation should CreC1te a ripptingorrolrog action on 

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

followed by drY formulations, flowables, emulslflable concentrates and then solutions. Prepare no more 

- spray mixture' than is required ror the immediate spray operation. 

3, Add any required adjuvants. 

4. Add any required nitrogen $Ource, unless ammonium sulfate{AMS) is being used, IfAMS is being usedas 

the nitrogen source. it should be added after water SOluble bagS and before dry pesticides. 

5. Fill spray tank to desired level with water. Agitation should conlinue until spray solution has been apprl8d. 

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

the spray solutfon for 12 hours.. 

APPUCATION EQUIPMENT 

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

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

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

spray nozzle manufacturerforthe type and size of nozzle being used, Improper use of the selected spray nozzle 

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

Refer to the manufacturer's spray chart for nozzle $E!lection and operating informatiOn. Special attention should 

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

BROADCAST APPliCATION 

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

with flat ran (Includl~g split-nozzle systems whlol1..,,,,y in opPO$ne directions) Of hollow cone nOZZl .. designed 

to denver the desired spray pressure and spray volume. 00 NOT USE flood nazztes. Thorough weed colIi!'r3QE! 

is required for optimum control. Spray noules should be centered at a maximum of20 inch spacing to provide 

adequate coverage. 

CARRIER VOLUME AND SPRAY PRESSURE

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

must be observed: 

• Do not apply during low~level inversion conditions, when winds are gusty or under any other condition which 

favors drift 

• Do not spraywtlen dr1ftls possible or when wind velocity is more than 10 mph, 

• Drift may causedamage to any vegetation contacted towhich application is not intended. To preventlnjuf)'

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

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

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

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

dia:phra9m~type nozzles to avoid unwanted disch3l'ge of spray solution . 

DO not angle nozzles forward Into the air stream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle 

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear afthe aircraft. at an angfe between 00 and 1st' 

downward. 00 not place nozzles on the outer 25% of the Wings or raters. 

AdJuvants and DrIft Control AdditivesRefer totank mix partners label for adjuvant recommendation. Driftoontrol additives may be used. When a

appearing on the additive label, 

APPLICAnON AND CULTIVATION 

Do not cultivate priorto orduring application. Do not generate excessivedustwflile spraying. Excesslvelydusty 

conditiOns may interfere with the coverage of the weed leaf surface by the spray solutIOn. A timely cultivation 

approximately one week after applicatIOn will assist In weed control.

CROP FAILURE 

If the crop treated with Resource is lost due to a catastrophe, such as hail or otherfonns of Inciementweather, 

refer to crop Rotational Restrictions below. 

ROTATIONAl. RESTRICTIONS 

1. Do not roIate 10 crops other than soybeall$ or field com within 30 days after last R.sourco Herbicide 

application. 

2. Do ROt FWM to lFA8!1 gr:afRe for at IMSt 120 GlBYG after I$at applieatWA of RESOURCE Hem_e. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

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

herbicides in varioUs mode of action cJaS&eS. Resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed 

population W lhe same etass of chemistry/mode of action herbicides are used repeatedly In the sarna field or 

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

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

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

also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed, 

TO DELAY HEREICIDE RESISTANCE 

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

• Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that Includes scouting, record keeping, and 

consideration of cultivation practices, water management, weed free crop seed, crop rotation, and other 

chemical or ""ltural practices. 

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

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

management andlor IPM recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. 

• For further infonnation contact Valent U.S.A. Corporation at the foHowlng toll free number 1-800-682-

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN COTTON 

GENERAL INFORMATlOII 

• 00 not .pply this product through any type of irrigation svotem. 

Resource is a selective herbicide fordefOtiation of eotton. Good coverage of actively gn:r.mng cotton is essential 

for maximum defoliation. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE Al'PLIEO TO COTTON 

• A:J a broadcast treat.:ment, do not apply more than a fl. oz./A of Resource in a single apptk:ation or more 

than til tM of 14'1. ozJA to cotton In a singte growing season. 

• 00 not appty Resource If ram is expected within 1 hour of appltcatkm; otherwise:. unsatisfactory 

defoUatiOO,.may result 

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

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply R&$0W'G6 and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercia! sprayers . 

Thorough coverage Is reqUired (or optimum defoliation. Special attention should be given to preparing and 

operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of cotton leaf surfaces. Avoid the use of air induction 

nozzlu 

Use Resourooon a broadcast basis in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre 3f!d a spray pressure of 40 to 

50 PSI measured attha spray nozzle, For best results, Uft a minimum of15to2O GPAofwater and a spray 

pressure of 50 PSI, measur0ci at the nome if cotton density Is moderate to heavy. 

AERIAL Al'PLICATlOII 

To obtain SBUsfactory cotton defoliation with aerial apptlcation of Resource, use as part of a labeled tank mix. 

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

must be observed: 

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

to adjacent __ vegetation. appropriate buffer zoo .. must be malntained. 

• Dc not apply this product within 40 feet of non-lllfll"t ptants including non-targot crops. 

• 00 not apply this product within 70 feet of strea:ms, wetlands, marshes. ponds, lakes, and reservoirs . 

Volun1e and Pressure 

Use Resource in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre and a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSt AppUcations at/e$s 

than 5 gaUons per acre will provide inadequate defoliation. The hlgher gallonage apptications generally afford 

mote conSistent defolIation. 

Nozzle and Hozzte Orientation 

Use nozzJes that produce ftat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drtp type nozzles such asdlaphragm type 

nozzles to avoid unwanted discharge of spray $elution. The nozzles must be directed towards the rear of the 

aircraft, at an angle between 0 and 15 degrees downward. do not place noz:zJes on the outer 25% of tile wing or 

rotor. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Do not allow spray from ground Of aerial equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops. The 

Interaction of many equipment and _ther r._ factors determine tho pc1mltial for spray drill The 

applicator and the grower are responsIble for considering all factors involved in minimiZing drift potential. 

Tffl> _no •• rial drill reductlon advisory Inlormatloo mtl$t be foll..-d to avoid off-target drill 

movement from aerial appHcattons to agricWturai field crops. 

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

extreme cautiOn must be used under aH conditions. 

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

or rotor. 

3. Nozzles must alWays point backward paralle! with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 

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

4. 00 not app1y under conditions Involving possible drift to food. forage or other plantings that might be 

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

S. When making tank mixture applicatiOn follow !he most restrictive labe! dIrections, Indudlng 

application buffer zones, of each product in the mixture. 

Importance 01 Droplet Sizl> 

The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufflcient """"rage and 

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

potential for off target movement of spray particles. Droplet size for both ground and air appltcaUons should 

be In the "medium' size category as defined In the August 1999 ASAE S572 publlcad<>n enlitled, 'Spray 

Nozzle ClassiflC!ld<>n by Droplet Spectra'. Rerer to that publication for additional information. Regardless of 

dfOpf&t size, if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target 

movement Wm occur. (see Wind, Temperature and Humktlty, and Temperature InversiOn sections of this 

label) . 

Controlling Droplet size 

Volume: use Resource In 5 to 10 galfens of water per acre. Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medium 

droplets to apply the highest practical spray volume, Applications at less than 5 gallons per acre wm provide 

inadequate defoliation. The higher gallonage application generally provides more consistent defonatlon. 

Pressure: use a maximum spray pressure of 40 PSt Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the 

nozzle and do not excaed the manufacture(s recommended pressure. Higher pressure reduces <iropIet size 

and does not improve canopy penetration, When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzJes 

instead oflncreasil1g-pressure. 

Number of nozzles; use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 

Nozzle orientation: orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream will 

produce larger droplets than other orientations. Signtflcant deflection of the nome from the horiZontal win 

reduce droplet size and increase dlift potential, 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended appticatioo. 00 not use air inducting or flood 

type nozzles. 

Boom length: for some use patterns redudng the effective boom length to less than 314 of the wingspan or 

rotor length may futther reduce drift wrthout reducing swath width, 

Appfication: appUcations 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 appfications are made With a cross wind, the swath win be displaced downwind, Therefore, on the up 

and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for thls diSplacement by adjusting the 

path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, With increasing drift potential (higher 

wind, smal!erdrops, etc.). 

Wind 

Variable wind speeds With changing directions may pose the largest potential for dlift damage In areas that 

are adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potentia! i. _t between wind speed' of 2 to a mph. 

However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type detennine drift potential at any giVen 

speed. Application Iihould be __ below 2 mph dua to va_ wind direction and high inversion 

potential. Note: tocal terraln can influence wind patterns. EvefY applicator should be famlflar wilh IocaJ wind

Temperature and HumkUty 

When making applications in low relative hUf11k:lily, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 

compensate for evaporatton but they stiU should remain within the medium droplet size category. Droplet 

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

Temperature Inversions 

Do not spray at times when spray partictes may be entrained Into a temperature Inversion layer, If inversion 

conditions 8f& suspected, consult wt1h local weather services before making an application. Applications 

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

restrict vertical air mixing. Which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated doue!. This 

cloud can move In unpredictable directions due to the fight variable winds common during inversions. 

Temperature inversions are characteriZed by increasing temperatures With altitude and are common on 

nights with IitrUted cloUd cover and light to no wind, They begin to form as the stJn sets and otten continue 

into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog 1$ not present. inversions 

can also be identified by the movement of smoke frOm a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. 

Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a connected cloud (under tow wind conditions) iodicates an 

inversion, while smoKe that moves upwards and rapidly dissipates Indicates good vertJcaI air mixing . 

SOndive Areas 

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

resldantial areas. bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non4arget 

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

no not apply during 1oW~levellnverslon condttions, when winds are gusty or under any other condition that 

favors drlft Do no spray when drift is possible orwnen wind vebdty Is less than 2 or more than 10 mph. 

Oliff: may cause damage' to any vegetation conlacted to which application is not intended. To prevent injury

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Resource Herbicide Is a selective herbicide for postemergence control of susceptible broadlea(weeds In field 

corn and soybeans, 

GENERAl,. RESTRICTIONS AND UMITATIONS 

Do not apply Ihls product through any typo of irrIgaUon system. 

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

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

For baa! results, Resell"", should be applied to actively growtng_ within the growth stages Indicated In this 

label. 'APplyIng Rosourco under condltlona that do not promote acUve weed growth will reduce horblclde 

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

extremes' In temperature, dlsease or loW humidity. Weeds under stress tend to become Jess susceptible to 

herbicide! acUon. Resell"", Is most ._when eppllsd under sunnycondltlona .t~ above 7ffF. 

RAlNFASTNESS 

RHOUrot'J is rainfast one hour after appbtlon. Applications should not be made if rain Is expected within one 

hour of appllcaUon or efficacy may be reduced . 

ADDITIIIES 

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

Elther. crop olI concentrate Of mathylsted seed 011. which contains at teast 15% emulslfle!S and 80% olI. maybe 

used when applying Resource. Certain tank mixes requirethe use of a non-ionk; surfactant Norrionic surfactant 

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

ccmpaUbility qualltlea should be verified by. Jar test 

A spray grade nitrogen sou"'" (either ammcnlum ,,"~ate at 2.0 to 2.51bsJA Of 26 to 32% nitrogen solution at 1 

to 2 qtsJA) may be added to tho spray mixture .Iongwlth either crop 011 ccncentrate. methylsted seed oil or nonionic surfactant to enhance weed control. The addition of a nitrogen source dons not nsp/ace tho need for crop 

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

JAR TEST TO DETERMINE COMPATIBlLITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

Ajar teat'hoold be performed before mlxlngcomm"'cial quantJttea of ROSOl/_when using ReselllCB for tho 

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

1, Add 1 pt. of the water to a qusrtjar. The water should be from the same source and temperature aswUt be 

used in the $pray tank mixing operation. 

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

3. Add 6 ml (1 Isp.) of tho crop off ccncenJrate Of mathylsted seed all to tho quartJ.r. gerUy mix. If a non-IonIc 

surfactant Is being used In 8 tank mix, add 2.5 ml (0.3 tap,) of the non-ionic surfactant in place of the oU. 

4. tt nitrogen Is being used. add 18 ml (1 tbsp. or 0.5 Oz.) of tho 28 to 32% nitrogen ,",urceto tho quertjar.lf 

ammonium su~ate Is being uaed. edd 19 gm. AMS to tho quart jar In place of tho 28 to 32% nitrogen. 

Ammonium Buffam should be added to the jar before the Resource In step 2. 

5. Place cap on Jar. invert 10 times, let stand (Of 15 minutes. evaluate. 

6. An Ideal tank mix ccmblnation will be unWorm and fr .. of suspended par1lctea. If any of tho foIJowIng 

conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: 

0) Loyer of olI or globules on the mixture's surface. 

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

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

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

1, FlU spray tank with water 1/310112 of desired level with clean water. 

2. While agitating. add the required amounl of Resouroo. Agitation should cre.le. rtppling orrolHng action on 

the water surface. If I8nk mixing Rasourc& with other labeled pesllcldes, add water soIubla bags firsl. 

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

spray mixture than is required for the Immediate spray operation. 

3. Add any required adjuvants. 

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

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

5. FHI spray lank to desired lavel with weier. Agltation should continue unlil spray solution has been appllad. 

6, MIx only the amount of spray solution that can be applied the dayof mixing. Resourcewlll remaIn active In 

the spray solution for 12 hours. 

APPUCATION EQUIPMENT 

ApplIcation equipment should be clean and In good repair. Nozzl .. should be unWorm~ spaced on boom and 

frequently cI1ecked for accuracy. Ground spaed should not exceed 10 mph 10 provkIa proper spray coverage. 

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

spraynozzle manufacturer for the type and size of nozzle being used.lmproperuse of the selected spraynozzfe 

will edv ..... ~ affect the spraypaltem, prevenl proper coverage of wead leaf surface. and red_weed conlrol • 

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

be giVen to preparing and operating the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of weed foliage, 

BROADCAST APPUCATION 

Apply R96OUI'C8 and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayers 

equipped with flal fan (Including split-nozzle systems which spray in opposUe directions) or hotiow cone_ 

designed 10 dellverlhedeslrsd spraypre .. ureand sprayvolume. DO NOT USE flood nozzles. Thoroughwead 

coversge Is requinsd for optimum control. Spray nozzles should be centered ala maximum of 20 Inch spacing to 

provide adequate coverage, 

CARRlERVOLUMEAND SPRAY PRESSURE 

Use Resource on a btoadcast basis in a minimum of 15 galS. of water per acre and a spray pressure of 35 to 60 

PSI measured al the spray no_. If weed populetlons are moderate 10 heavy andlorweeds ere approaching 

maximum label size andforcrop canopy is dense. use a minimum of 20 GPA ofwater and a spray'presS,W'e of 

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

poslemergence herblckla application . 

BAND APPUCATION 

When bending. use proporllona~ lass water and Resource peraere. Banding equipment should be edjusted to 

provide maximum coverage of weeds In the roN, A minimum of two nozzles per row Is required to provide 

optimum coverage of weed foUage. 

AERIAL APPUCATION 

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

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

must be obselVed: 

• 00 not apply more than a fl. oz.lA by air In a single application. 

Carrier Volume and Spray Pressure 

Use Resource in 7 to 10 gelsJAofwaterforspring bumd<wm programs. Use RosoulOOln5to 10 gatsJAof 

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

higher gal&onage appllcaUons generally result in more consistent performance. 

Nozzle and Nozzle OrtIantatlon 

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

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

Use nozzles whk!h produce nat or hollow cone spray patterns. Use non-drip type nozzles, such as 

8 

35 
• 

• 

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

Do not angle nozzle. forward Into the air ._m and do not Incr .... spray voIum. by IncraaaIng nozzle 

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the aircraft, at an angle between 00 and 15° 

downward. 

Adjuvants and Drift Control Addlllvos 

Refer to tank mix parlne(slabel foradjuvant recommendation. Drln COOIroI additives may be ""ad. When. 

drift COOIroIaddltivels uoad. read and carefully oboe!ve the cautionary stalements and all other Inlonnatlon 

appearing on the additive label. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

Do notaHaw_from ground or •• rlal equipment to d~ftontoadjacent land orerope. The 

Int8ractton of many equipment and waether relaiad lectors determine the potential for spray drift. The 

appficator and the grower are responsible for considering all factors Involved in minimizing drift potential. 

The following a.rlal drift reduction edvlsory Information must be followed to avoid oft-larget drift 

movOment from aerial applications to agricultural fIaId crops. 

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

extreme caution must be used under au conditions. 

2. The distance of the ouler most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 314 the length of the wingspan 

orrolor. 

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

more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulaJlons. they should be obseIved. 

4. Do not apply under condHtons Invotvlng posslbIe drift to food, forage or 0_ plantings thet might be 

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

S. When making tank mixture appliCations follow the most restrictiVe label directions, inciudlng 

application buffer zones, of each product In the mixture. 

ImpotIance of Droplet Size 

The best drift mansgement strategy is to apply thelargesl droplets that provide SuffiCient ooverage and 

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

~I for off target movement of spray ps~las. Droplet size for both ground and air applications should 

be In the 'medium" size category as defined In the August 1999 NSAE 8572 pubticatIon entIUed, 'Sprsy 

Nozzle ClassIIlcatton by Droplet Spectra". Refer to that publication for edd~lon.llnform.tIon. Regardless of 

droplet size, K applicattons are mode Impropa~ or under unfavorable environmental conditions off target 

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

label). 

ConiroHing Droplet stze 

Vofume for aerial application: use Resource In 7 to 10 galsiA of water for spring bumdown programs and 5 

to 10 galsJA of water for defoliation. 

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

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

Applications at minimum recommended volume may provlde inadequate results. The higher gatlonage 

application generally provides more consistent performance. 

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

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

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

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

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

Nozz:Ie orientation: orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwardS, paranal to the airstream will 

produce larger droplets than other orientations. Signiflcant deflection of the nozz1e from the horizontal will 

9

• 

reduce droplet sIze and Increase drift potential. 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type that 15 designed for the Intended application. Do not use air Inducting or flood 

type nozzl ... 

Application: applications should not be made at. height greater than 10 feet above tha top of tho largest 

planw unles$ 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. 

Swatb AdJuotmont 

When appfications are made with a cross wind. the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up 

and downwind edges of the field, the eppIica10r must compensate for this displacement by adjusting tha 

peth of the ator.H upwind. Swath adjustment dlstanca should Increa .. , with Increasing drlft potantlal {higher 

wind. smaner drops, etc.}. 

Wind 

Variable wInd speeds with changIng directions may pose the largest potential for drift damage in areas that 

are adjacent to tho field to be sprayed. Drift potential I. lowest between wind speads of 2 to 8 mph. 

However. many factors, including droplet sIze and equipment type determine drift potential at any given 

speed, APPlicatIon should be avoIded bekm 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high Inversion 

potential. Note: Local terrain can lnnuence wind patterns, Every applicator should be faromar with Jocal wind 

patterns and how they affect drift 

Temperature and Humidity 

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

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

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

Temperature Inversions 

Do not spray at times when spray particles may be entrained 1010 a temperatura Inversion layer. If inversion 

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

should not occur during temperature fnversion, because drift potential is hIgh. Temperature inversions 

restrict vertical air mixIng, which CSUS&S sman, suspended d«>P'ets to remain In a concentrated cloud. This 

cloud can move In unpredictable dlreot1ons due to tho light varlabla winds common during Inversions. 

Temperature inversions are characterized by Increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on 

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

into the morning. TheIr presence can be indk:ated 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 III connected cloud (undet low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, while smoke that moves upwards and rapidly dissipates lndfcates gOOd vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

TIle pooIicide should onlY be applied when tbe p_l for drift 10 adjaoenl""nslIlve areas (8,g" 

residential areast bodies ofwtlter, known habitat for threatened or endangered specie$, non4:arget 

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

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

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

Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which application Is not intended. To prevent Injury 

to adjacent desirable vegetation. appropriate buffer zones must be maintained. 

Do not apply this product wtthin 40 feet of non-target plants lnoludlng non-target crops. 

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

10 

37 
Nozzle and Nozz!e Orientation 

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

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

rotor. 

APPLICATION AND CULTIVATION 

Do riot cultivate prior tocr during appllCatipn. Donotgenerateexcessive dustwhlle spraying. ExceS$Nelydusty 

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

approximately one week after application wiI! assist in weed conlrol. 

SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS 

A sequential application Of Resource can be made after a minimum of 14 days have passed follow!ng the fll'St 

application of Reoource to control new flushes of susceptible weeds in field com and :soybeans. 

CROP FAILURE 

!fthe crop treated with Resource is lost due to a catastrophe, such as hall or other forms ofinclement weather, 

refer to crop Rotational Restrictions below. 

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS 

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

• 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

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

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

population if the same class of <:herni&tryfmode of action herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or 

in success'lVe years. These resistant biotypes may not be adequatelY controlled by herbicides In a mode of 

actiOn class for which resletance: has developed, A gradual or total Joss of weed control may occur over 

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

al$O exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be follOWed. 

TO OELAY HERBICIDE RESISTANCE 

• Avokl the use of herblcldes that have a slmllar target site mode of action in ronsecutfve years. 

• Herbicide Use should be based on en Integrated Pest Management (!PM) program that includes 

scoutlng. record keeping, and oonsideratlon of cultfyatlon practices, water management. weed free crop 

seed, crop rotation, and other chemica! or cultura! practices. 

• Monitor treated weed poplllation for resistance development and report suspected resistance, 

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

management and/or IPM recommendations for specifK: crops and weed biotypes. 

• For further Information contact Valent U.SA Corporation al the following toll free number 1-800-682-

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN SPRING IIURNDOWN PROGRAMS (prior 10 crop emergence in _on, 

rmkl corn and soybean) 

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

emerged weeds prior to crop emergence. The addition of Resource to bumdown herbicides sw::h as 

giyphosate and 2,4·D has been shown to Increase the sp&ed of control of many weeds as weD as increase 

overal! bumdown.of Caronna geranium, cutleaf evening primrose and smartweeds. Refer to glyphosate 

and/or 2,4-0 !abels for weeds controlled and rotational restrictions.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN 

• Do not use Resource on popcorn or sweet com. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPUED TO FIELD CORN 

• 00 not apply Resource to rIGId com before the 2wJeafor after the 10wleaf stage. 

• 00 not appfy more than 6 fL o1..IA of Resource in a single broadcast application or more than a total of 8 

fl. oz./A to field -com during a single growing season. 

• As a directed spray using drop nozzles, do not apply more than a total of 8 fl. oz./Aof Resource to fiekl com 

In a single application or during a single -growing season. 

• Do not g'raze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resouro6 applicatron. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

ResoUT'C9can be used on ftald com grown for commercial seed production. However, do not apply Rssourc&to 

seed corn without first verirying with your seed corn supplier the Resource selectivity on yOur inbred line, This 

precaution wlU help avoId potential injury on sensitive varietles, Use on inbred Unes or other genetic material 

used in a breeding program 15 done at the sofa risk of the user. 

TIMING TO FIELD CORN 

Resource may be applied to field corn fram the 2wleaf through the 1 Owleaf stage, Determine the-leaf stage of com 

by counting only those leaves with leaf collars vi$ibie. A temporary crop response may b& qbserved following a 

pestemergence broadcast application of Resource. Com quickly outgrows all initial herbicide effects. When 

Resource is used as directed, com yields win not be adversely affected. 

TIMING TO WEEDS 

ldentll'yweed species as early es possible, Recommend~ rates, weed species and maximum weed heights for 

effective control with Resource as ai stand aiooe broadcast or drop nozzle application are Indicated in TabJe 1. 

Recommended tank miXes are listed in Table 2. 

DROP NOZZLE APPLICATIONS 

Drop riozzle application should be made after corn has reached a suffICient height for the spray to bedlrected 

beneath the com leaves or when CQm leaves prevent proper spray coverage of wetKfs. When making a drop 

nozzle application. the rate of crop 011 concentrate should be 1 ~JA. Since the actMty of ReSOUfW is enhanced 

when the 1 qUA rate of crop oU concentrate is used. care must be taken to minimize exposure of,com leaves to 

the spray, Do not apply Resource directly intc the com whcrl when maklng a post directed application .

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Rosource HertJic!deisa selective herbicide forpostomergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds Infield 

com and soybeans, 

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND UMITATIONS 

Do not apply (his product through any type of irrigation system, 

00 not make more than two applications per acre per season, 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE 

For best results, ReS!JV(ceshould be applied 10 actively growing weeds within the growth stages indicated in 

this labet Applying Resource under conditions that do not promote active weed growth will reduCe herbicide 

effectiveness. Do not apply Reso/JfC6 when the crop or weeds are under stress due to drought, excessive 

water, extremes in temperature, disease ot Iowhumidity. Weeds under &tress lend to become lass susceptible 

to herbicidal action. ReSOUrce is most effective when applied under stJnny conditions attemp$ratures above 

7ifF, 

RAlNFASTNESS 

Resouroo is ralnfastone hour after application. Applicatlonsshould 091 be made if rain is expected within one 

hour of application or efficacy may be reduced, 

ADDITIVES 

Control of weeds by ResoufCO requires the addition of an agronomically approved adjuvant to the spray 

mixture, Eith8( a crop oil concentrate or methylated seed otl, which contains at least 15% emulsifiers and 80% 

oR. may be used when applying Resourte. Certain tank mixes require the use of a non-Ionic surfactant Nonionic surfactant must contain at least 80% actrve ingredient and must be EPA approved fur use on food crops, 

Mixing and compatlbility qUalities shoulCi be verified by a Jar. test. 

A spray grade nitrogen source (either ammonium oolfate at 2.0to 2.5Ibs.JA or28 to 32% nitroger'! solution at 1 

to 2 qt$.JA) may be added to the spray mixture along with either crop 011 concentrate, methylated $M(1 oil or 

non-ionic surfactant to enhance weed control. Theaddition of a nitrogen sourced09s not replace the need for 

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

JAR T_TO DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF ADJUVANTS AND RESOURCE 

A jartest should be performed before mixing commerciat quantftles of Resourcewhen using ResoUTC$ forthe 

firsttlme, when using new adjuvants, or when a new water source Is being used. 

1. Add 1 pt. ofUle watarto a quart jar, The water should be from the same source and temperature as. wl1l 

be used In the sprey tank mixing operation. 

2. Add 1 ml of Resouros to the quartjat, gently mix until product dissipates. 

3. Add 6 mt (t tsp.) of the crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil to,the quart jar, gently mix:. If a nonionic lIunac;tant Is being used In a tank mix, add 2.$ ml (0.3 tap,) of the non~ionlcsll1'fa¢tl:mtin place of the 

oil, 

4, tf nitrogen is beIng u&od, add 16 mI (1 tbSp, orO.S oz.) otthe 28 to 32% nitrogen source-to the quartJar.tf 

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

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

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

6. An ideattank mix combination wHI be uniform and free ofsuspended particles. tf any of the following 

.conditions are observed the choice of adjuvant should be questioned: 

Il) Layer of oil or glObUles on the mixture's surface. 

b) Ftoceulatlon: fine partleles in suspenston or as tt layer on the bottom of the jar. 

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

MIXJNG INSTRUCTIONS 

1., F!U spray lank wi1h water 1/3 to 1J2 of desired ieva! with dean water, 

2. While agitating, addttlo required amount of ReSOUIW, Agltatkm should create a rippling or roiling action on 

the wsw surface. If tank mixing Resource with other labeled pestk:ldes. add water soluble bags first. 

followed by dry formUlations, 1!owa:b!eG. emu!sifiable concentrates and then so!ution&. Prepare no more 

spray mixture than is required for the immediate spray operation. 

3. Add any required adjuvants. 

4. Add anyrequ!red nitrogen source, unless ammonium $Uffate (AMS) is being used. If AMS is being used as 

Ihe nitrogen source, It should be added after water soluble bags and before dry pcsflcfdes. 

5. Fill sPftlYtank to desired leve! with water. Agitation shoold continue until spray solution has been applied. 

6. Mix only the amount ofspray solution that can be applied the day of mixing. Resource w!l! remain active In 

the spray solution for 12 hours. 

APPUCATION EQUIPMENT 

Application equipment should be c!ean and in good repair. Nozzles shou!d be uniformly spaced on boom and 

frequenUy checked for accuracy. Ground speed should not exceed to mph to provide proper spray caverage. 

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

spray nozzle manufacturorforthe type and size ofnoulebelngused. !mproperuse of the selected spray nozzle 

will adversely affect the spray pattern, prevent proper coverage ofweed leaf surfa(;f:, and reduce weed control. 

'Referto the manufacturer's sprayehart fornouJe seiection and operating infonnation. Special attention should 

be given to preparing and operatfng tho spray equipment 10 assure proper coverage of weed foliage • 

. BROADCAST APPUCATION

CARRIER VOl-UME AND SPRAY PRESSURE 

Use Resource on a broadcast basls in a mln!mum of 15 gals. of water per aore and a spray pressure of 3510 

60 PSI measured atthe spray nozzfe. !fweed populations 3r$ moderate to heavy and/or weeds are approaching 

maximum labe! size and/or crop canopy Is dense. use ;9 minimum of 20 GPA of water and a spray pr$$$I.W of 40 

10 50 PSI. Nozzle selection should meet manufacturer's gallonage and pressure recommendation fur 

postemergenc$lmrb!cid& application. 

BAND APPUCATION 

When banding. use proportionalely!cu water and Resource per acre. Banding equipmentshou!d be adjusted to 

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

optimum wvorage or woad foUage. 

AERIAL APPL!CATJON 

To obtain satisfactory weed oootroI with aerial application of RO$Oun;e, U$@ as part of a labeled tank mix. 

Uniform coverage must be obtained. To obtain satisfactory application and avOid c.Itift. the following direcllons 

must be observed: 

• Do not apply during !ow.fevet inversion conditions, when winds are gusty Of under anyotllercondition which 

favors drift. 

• Do not spray when drift!s possible or when wind velocity Is rnoro Ihan 10 mph. 

• Drift may caUse damage to any vegetation contDeted lowhlch applicaUon is not intended. To prevenl Injury 

to adjacent desirable vegetation. appropriate buffor zones must be maintained. 

• Do not apply this product within 40 feet of non-target plants incWd!ng non-target crops.

Carrior Volume and spray Pressure 

Use R6SCWfOO In 7 to 10 gals.. ofwaterper acre and a maxlmum spray pressure of 40 PSI. Application at 

tess then 7 gals. per acre wUl provide inadequateconlrol. The hlgherQSllonage appllcationsganetally afford 

more consistent weed control. 

Nozzle and Nozzle Orientation 

Coarse sprays are less likely to dr1ft; therefore, donol use nozzles ornou.!e configurations which dispense 

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

Use nozzles which produce flat Or hollow cone spray pattems. Use non-drip type nozzles, such as 

diaphragm·type nozzles to avoid unwanlsd discharge of spray solution. 

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

pressure. The nozzles must be directed toward the rear of the mrcraft, at an angle batwecn fY' and 150 

downward. Do not place nozzles on the outer 25~ of the wings or roters. 

Adjuvants and Drift Control Additives 

Refer to tank mix partners label for adjUvant recommendation. Drift control additives may be used, When a 

driftcontrol additive Is used, r&ad and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other Information 

appearing 011 the additive label. 

APPUCATION AND CULTIVATION 

00 not cultivate prior to ordurlng appHcaHon. Do not generate excessive dust while spraying. Excessively dusty 

conditions may interfere with the coverage of the weed leaf surfaOO by the spray GOlution. A timely cut!!vation 

approximately one week after appUcalion will assist In weed control. 

SEQUENTIAL APPUCATIONS 

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

application of Resource to control new flushes of susceptible weeds In field com and soybeans. 

CROP FAILURE 

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

refer to crop RotMlonal Rnstric:tions below, 

ROTATIONAL RESTRiCTiONS 

1. Do not rotate to crops other than soybeans or field GOtn within 30 days after last ReSO(lfC& Herbiclde 

application. 

RESiSTANCE MANAGEMENT 

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

herbicides In various mode of action <:IHlles. ResIstant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed 

population If1;he same cfass of chemlstryfmocie of action herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or 

in suooe.ssive yoars. These resistant biotypes may not be ade4uate1y controlled by herbicides in a mode of 

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

Other roSiS{ance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action. such a& enhanced metabolism, may atso 

exist. Appropriate resistance managemont strategies should be followed. 

TO DELAYHERBfCIDE RESISTANCE 

• Avoid the use of herbtcldes that have a similar targErt site mode of action In consecutive years. 

• Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that Includes SCOUting, record keeplng, and 

consideration of cultivation practices, wavar management, weed free crop seed, crop rotation. and other 

chemical or cultural practlces. 

• Monitortr-eated weed population !'or resi$tance development end report suspected reslst3oce. 

• Contact your local exlension or crop expert (advisor) for any addlllonal pesticide resistance 

management andior IPM recommendations 'for specifiC crops and weed biotypes.

OIREcnONS FOR USE IN SPRJNG BURNDOWN. PROGRAMS (Prior to crop emergence in coHon, 

field com and soybean) 

Resource, at 2 10 4 n. o1../A. can be used in combination with labeled bumdown herbicides to help control 

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

glyphosate and 2,4~O has been shown to Increase the speed of control of many weeds as wall as increase 

overall bumdown of Carolina geranium, cutfeaf evening primfose and smartweeds. Refer to gfyphosate 

and/or 2,4-.0 labels for weeds controlled and rotational restrictions. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN 

.. Do not use ResofJt'Ce on popcorn or sweet com. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPLIED TO FlEW CORN 

• Do not apply Resource to field com before the 2-1eaf or after the 10-leaf stage • 

I 00 not apply more than 6 fl. ouA of Rosouroe in a singfe broadcast application or more than a total of 8 

fl. ozJA to fIefd com during a single growing season. 

• As a directed spray using drop nozzles, donotapplymorethan atota/ofS fl. ozJA of Resouroetofield com 

In a sIngle application or during a single growing season. 

• 00 not graze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after R9source application. 

GENERAlINFORMAnON 

Resource can be used on field corn grown for commercial seed production. However. do not apply RfiJ$OU(OO to 

seed com without first verifying with your seed com supplier the Resource selectivjty on your inbred Ilna. ThIs 

precaution will help avoid potential Injury on sensitive varieties. Use on Inbred lines or other genetic material 

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

TIMING TO FlEW CORN 

Resource may be applied to field com from the 2-1aaf through the 1 O-leat stage. Determine the leaf stage of com 

by counting oolythose leaves with leaf collars Visible. A temporary etop response may be obs&rved following a 

post&mergence broadcast application of Resource. Com quIckly outgrows an Initial herbicide effects. \Alhen 

ReSOUl'Cft is used as dIrected, com yields win not be adversely affected. 

nMING TO WEEDS 

Identify weed.specles as early as possible. Recommended rates, weed speclos and maximum weed helghts for 

effectlvo control with Resource as a stand atone broadcasl or drop nozzle application are Indicated in Table 1. 

Rooommended tank mlxu are listed in Table 2. 

DROP NOZZLE APPUCAnONS 

Drop noWe apPUcaUon should be made after com has reached a sufficient height for the spray to be dIrected 

beneath the com leaves or when com leaves prevent proper spray coverage of weeds. When making iii drop 

nou/o application, the rate of crop e»1 concentrate should be 1 qUA. SInce the activity of Resource Is enhanced 

when the 1 qUA rate of crop oj] concentrate Is used, earo must be taken to mInImize exposure of com 1eavesto 

/he spray. 00 not apply Resource directly jnto the com whorl when making a post directed appllcatlon.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN COTTON 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

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

Rosoun::eis a selective horbieidefor defoliation ofcoHon. Good coverage of aclively growing cotton is essential 

for maximum defoliation. 

USE RESTRICTIONS FOR RESOURCE APPUED TO COTTON 

• As a broadcast treatment. do not apply more than a fl. ozJA of Resource in a single appUcaUon or more 

than a tolal of 14 n. ozJA to cotton In a single growing season. 

ill Do not apply RS3OU«:e if rain is expected within 1 hour of application; otherwise. unsatisfactory 

defoliation may result. 

ill 00 not graze animals on green forage or use as feed fewer than 28 days after Resource application. 

GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply Resouroo and Resource tank mixes with ground equipment using standard commercial sprayer,. 

Thorough coverage Is required for optimum defolfation. Special attention should be given to preparing and 

opemtfng the spray equipment to assure proper coverage of cotton leaf surfaces. Avoid the use or aIr induction 

nozztes. 

Use Resource on a broadcast basis In a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre and a spray pressure of 40 to 

50 PSI m&&Sured at the- spray nozzle. For best results. use a minimum of 15 to 20 GPA of water nod a spray 

pressure of SO PSI, m&asured at the nozzh, If cotton density Is moderate to heavy. 

AERIAL APPliCATION 

To obtain satisfactory cotton defoliation with aerial application of Re;;ourco, use as part of a labeled tank mix. 

UnifOrm coverage must bo obtained. To obtain satisfactory application and avoid drfft. the following directions 

must be observed: 

• Drift may cause damage to any vegetation contacted to which application is not Intended. To preventlnjury 

to adjacent desirable vegetation, approprlate buffer zones ITI\Jst be maintained. 

• 00 not appfy thl$ product within 40 feet of non..targat plants including non-target crops. 

• 00 not apply this product within 70 feet of streams. wetlands, marshes, Ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. 

Volume and Presaura 

Use Resouroeln 6 to 10 gallons of water par acre and a maximum spray pressure of 40 ~SI.Applicationsat less 

than 5 galloo$ per acro will provide lIladaquate defolialion. The higher gallonage applications generally afford 

more consistent de-foliation.

Nozzte and Nozzle OrientatIon 

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

noules to avoid unwanted discharge of spray solution. The nozz:los must be directed towards the rear of the 

aircraft, atan angte between 0 and 15 degrees downward, do not place nozzles on the outer 25% of!fle wing or 

rotor. 

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 

00 not allow spray from ground or aerIal equipment to drift onto adjacent land or crops. The 

Interaction of many equipment snd weather related factors determIne the potential for spray drift. The 

applicator and the grower are responsible for consi~g all factors Involved in minimIzing drift potenlial. 

The following aerial drift reduction advisorytnformatlon must be followed to avoId off-target drIft 

movement from aerial applications to agricultural field creps.

4: 

5. 

Do not spray If wind spoed is greater than 10 mph. If sensitive crops Of plants are downwind, 

exlreme caution must be used under all conditions. 

The diStance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan 

or roto(, 

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

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

00 not apply under c:ondltions Involving possible drift to food. forage Of mhor plantings that might be 

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

When making tank mixture appJlcatlon follow the most restrictive label directJons, including 

8Pplica:tion buffer zones, of each product in the mIXture. 

ImportanC9 of Droplet Size 

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

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

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

be in the ~medium" size category as defined In the August 1999 ASAE 5572 publication entftIed. ~$pray 

Nozzle Classification by Droplet Spectra". Refer to that publication for addltionallnformation, Regardless of 

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

movement win occur. (~ Wind, Temperature aoo Humidity, and Temperature inversiOn sections of thIs 

label). 

Controlling Droplet size 

Volume: use Res04JfCe in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Use high flow rate nozzles that produce medIum 

droplets to apply the highest practical spray volume. ApplicationS at less than 5 gallons pet acre will provide 

inadequate defoliatlon, The higher gallonage appUcalion generally provides more consistent defofietion. 

Pressure: use a maxImum spray pressure of 40 PSI. Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the 

nozzie and do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended pr&s$ure. HIgher pressUf9 reduces droplet size 

and does not Improve caoopy penetration. When higher flow rates are nooded, use higher flow rate nozzles 

Instead of Increasing pressure. 

Number of nozzles: use the minimum number of nouJO$ that provide unIform coverage. 

Nozzle orienlation: orienting nozzles so that the spray Is released backwaros, paraJJeJ to the airstream will 

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

reduce droplet size and Increase drift polentlal. 

Nozzle type: use a nozzle type thaI Is designed for the intended appJlcaUon. Do not use aIr inducting or 

flood type nozzles. 

800m length: for somo use patterns reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or 

rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

• 

Appncation: applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feal above the top of the largest 

plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Maklng applications at the lowest heighllhat is 

safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wInd. 

SWath Adjustment 

1Nhen applications are made with a cross wind. the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up 

and downwind eelgl'tS of the flekf, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path 

ortha airCTaft ujWAnd. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (hlgher 

wind, smaller drops, atc.). 

Wind 

Variable: wind speeds with changing directions may pose the largest potential for drtft damage In areas that 

are adjacent to the field to be sprayed. Drift potential Is lowest betwoen wind speeds of 2 to 8 mph. 

However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given 

speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind directiOn and high inversion 

potential. Note: Local terrain can Influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind 

patterns and how they affect drift. 

Temperature and Humidity 

When making applications In low relative humidity. set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 

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

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

Temperature InversIons 

Do not spray at times when spray particfas may be entrained Into a temperature inversion layer. If inversion 

conditions are suspectOO. consult with k>cal weather services before making an application. Applications 

should not occur during temperature lnvemon. because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions 

restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small. suspended droplets to remain In a concentrated cloud. This 

cklud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during fnvecslons, 

Temperalure Inversions are characterized by Increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on 

nights Mth limited doud cover and light to no wind, They begin to form as the sun sets and often conl1nue 

into the morning. Thelr pmsence 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 \ayefS and moves laterally in a connected cloud (under loW wind conditions) Indicates an 

Inversion. while smoke that moves upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 

Sensitive Areas 

Tho pesticide should only be applied whon the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive aroas (e.g_, 

residential areas. botUe$ of water. known habitat for threatened Of endangered specl", non-target 

crops) i& minimal {e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive arcas}. 

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

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

Drift may causa damage to any vegetation contacted to which application is not intended. To prevent Injury 

to adjacent desirable vegetation. appropriate buffer zones must be maintained, 

Do. not apply this product within 40 fa$/. of norrtarget plants Including norr-target crops. 

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

Noul. and Nozzle Orientation 

Use nozzle types that are designed for the defoliation applications. The nozzle must be directed towards the 

rear of the aJrcraft. man angle between 0 and 15 degrees downward, do not place nozzles on the outer 25% 

of the wing or rotor.
