|
Section 4: Environmental Precautions |
· Toxic to aquatic organisms, non-target terrestrial plants and some terrestrial invertebrates. This product contains aromatic petroleum distillates which are toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe buffer zones specified under Section 10.
· Toxic to beneficial parasitic arthropods. Minimize spray drift to reduce harmful effects on beneficial arthropods in habitats next to the application site, such as hedgerows and woodland.
· To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
· As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
· DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
· Do not apply to land where tail water will be used to irrigate crop land. Do not contaminate irrigation water.
· Avoid spray drift onto susceptible plants (e.g., Tame Oats, flowers, trees or shrubs) and non-target areas.
· USE ONLY FOR RECOMMENDED PURPOSES AND AT RECOMMENDED RATES.
|

Section 7: Crops, Weeds, Rates, Timing and Cautions |
|
CROP |
RECOMMENDED STAGE |
|
Spring Wheat Durum Wheat Spring Barley |
1-6 leaves on main stem plus 3 tillers (Zadoks 11-16, 23) |
Cautions:
· Do not apply to Tame Oats as crop damage will occur.
· Durum Wheat: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. This condition is temporary and should not affect yield. This injury is more likely to occur when PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not tank mixed or when applied past the recommended leaf stage. Early application is important to maintain crop safety.
· Spring Barley: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. Such injury symptoms are more frequent and often more pronounced in Spring Barley than in Durum Wheat. This injury is most likely to occur when PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not tank mixed or when applications are made under certain stress conditions, such as cold and moist conditions or when applications are made past the 6-leaf, 3 tiller stage. Applications of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide on Spring Barley should be avoided 2-3 days prior to or following cold temperatures (3°C or lower).
· Do not apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to any field more often than once per year.
|
Annual Grassy Weeds |
Recommended Stage |
|
Wild Oats |
1- to 6-leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller) |
|
Green Foxtail (Wild Millet) |
1- to 6-leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller) |
|
Yellow Foxtail |
1- to 6-leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller) |
|
Barnyard Grass |
1- to 6-leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller) |
Rates:
1. For control of Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail and Barnyard Grass, apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide at 1.02 L/ha.
2. Under low Wild Oat infestations, and when applying PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide alone in Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat, apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide at 890 mL/ha.
3. For Green Foxtail control only, apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide at 510 mL/ha.
Timing:
· Apply to emerged, actively growing weeds, according to the weed stages listed.
· Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, early application will result in improved grassy weed control.
· If application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not possible due to uneven weed germination, or differential germination of weeds and crops, consult your local weed specialist or the provincial weed control recommendations for the best alternate method of weed control.
· If another pesticide has already been applied, wait 7 days before applying PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide, or following application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide, a 4 day interval is required before applying another pesticide, except for those recommended on this label.
· Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled.
· Note: Treatment at the 3- to 4-leaf stage of crops and weeds usually combines maximum crop tolerance and weed susceptibility. Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, earlier application will result in improved grassy weed control.
Cautions:
· Application beyond the 6-leaf stage in Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat or Spring Barley may result in injury.
· Application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide must take place within the leaf stages outlined for all weeds on this label. Late application will result in reduced weed control.
· During periods of stress, plants are not actively growing. When daytime temperatures before or after application are very hot, combined with very dry conditions and low humidity, plants are under stress. Application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide during these periods may result in reduced weed control (and/or crop injury).
· Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by severe weather conditions, frost, low fertility, drought, water-saturated soil, disease or insect damage, as crop injury may result.
|
Section 8: Tank Mixes |
DO NOT tank mix PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide with herbicides, containing the following active ingredients:
florasulam (e.g., Frontline XL Herbicide)
This product may be tank mixed with registered pest control products, whose labels also allow tank mixing, provided the entirety of both labels, including Directions For Use, Precautions, Restrictions, Environmental Precautions, and Spray Buffer Zones are followed for each product. In cases where these requirements differ between the tank mix partner labels, the most restrictive label must be followed. Do not tank mix products containing the same active ingredient unless specifically listed on this label.
In some cases, tank mixing pest control products can result in reduced pesticide efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Bayer CropScience Inc. at 1-888-283-6847 or www.cropscience.bayer.ca for information before applying any tank mix that is not specifically recommended on this label.
Bayer CropScience Inc. has not fully assessed performance (efficacy) and/or crop tolerance (phytotoxicity) of all potential tank-mixes under all environmental conditions or for all crop varieties. Tank-mixes that are not specifically listed on this label should be tested on a small area first, under local conditions and using standard practices, to confirm the tank-mix is suitable for widespread application.
To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test.

· Apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to perennial ryegrass or meadow bromegrass when at the 2- to 4-leaf stage, to seedling tall fescue when at the 2- to 6-leaf stage, and to established tall fescue prior to the shot blade stage and when wild oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail and barnyard grass are at the 1- to 6-leaf stage (up to emergence of 3rd tiller). · For ground application, apply in a minimum water volume of 55 litres per hectare, at a pressure of 275 kPa, or 310 kPa if using check valves, and at a ground speed of 6-8 kph. · For aerial application, apply in no less than 35 litres of water per hectare at a pressure no less than 300 kPa. · Do not apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to any field more often than once per year. · Do not graze the treated perennial ryegrass or cut for straw within 65 days of application. · Do not graze the treated meadow bromegrass or tall fescue or cut for hay within 25 days of application. · CAUTION: Initial crop injury may be observed after application, but this is temporary and should not affect yield. This injury is most likely to occur when applications are made under stress conditions or when applications are made past the recommended leaf stage. Severe crop injury will occur as a result of spray overlap. AVOID SPRAYER OVERLAP. · Refer to Sections 7 and 10 for additional use information and cautions. |

Section 10: Application Instructions and Cautions |
Application Instructions:
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60cm or less above the crop or ground.
Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at a flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.

When tank mixes are permitted, consult the labels of the tank mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) spray buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank mix partners.
The spray buffer zones for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Spray Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pesticides portion of the Canada.ca website.
GROUND APPLICATION.
· Application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide should be made using a minimum of 55-110 litres of water per hectare, at a pressure of 275 kPa, or 310 kPa if using check valves, and at a ground speed of 6-8 kph.
· When tank mixing PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide with a tank mix partner, ensure you read the tank mix partner label for minimum water recommendations.
· The use of 80° or 110° flat fan nozzles is recommended for optimum spray coverage.
· Do not use flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment or Sprafoil® equipment.
· Application of the spray at a 45° angle forward and higher water volumes will result in better spray coverage and penetration of the crop canopy.
· Uniform, thorough coverage is important to obtain consistent weed control. Higher water volumes should be used under dense crop and weed canopies to ensure thorough coverage of the target weeds.
· Avoid overlapping; shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to prevent crop injury from over-application.
· Do not apply if rain is expected within 1 hour of spraying. If tank mixing, consult the tank mix partner label and respect the most restrictive interval.
AIR APPLICATION
· Apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide alone or in tank mixes (ONLY with the recommended tank mix partners that are registered for aerial use) in no less than 35 litres of water per hectare at a pressure no less than 300 kPa.
· Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
· Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
· Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
Aerial Use Precautions
· Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call Bayer CropScience Inc. at 1-888-283-6847 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.
· Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.
· Do not apply to terrain where there is a potential for surface run-off to enter aquatic systems.
· Do not apply if rain is expected within 1 hour after spraying. If tank mixing, consult the tank mix partner label and respect the most restrictive interval.
Aerial Application Operator Precautions
· Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted.
· It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
· The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label.
· All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.

Section 11: Mixing Instructions |
1. Ensure that the spray tank, lines and filter are thoroughly clean.
2. Fill the tank half-full with clean water and start agitation or bypass system.
3. If a tank mix partner is to be used, refer to the sections on tank mix combinations with PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide. Add the tank mix partner FIRST prior to adding PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide.
4. Slowly add the correct amount of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to the spray tank. Agitate thoroughly.
5. Triple rinse the emptied containers into the spray tank.
6. Add the remaining amount of water while agitation continues. Spray out immediately. Spray mixture should not be left in tank overnight.
7. When mixing second and subsequent tank-fulls, ensure that the tank is half-full of clean water prior to adding herbicide, and follow steps 2-6.
8. Thoroughly clean nozzles, screens and the spray tank by flushing with a water/detergent mixture after using PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide or before using any other pesticide.
9. Do not tank mix with any other chemical additives, surfactants or fertilizers unless recommended on this label.

Section 12: Sprayer Cleanup |
Clean Up Before You Spray:
· Prior to using PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide ensure that the spray tank, lines and filter are thoroughly clean.
· All traces of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide must be removed before equipment can be used on Rye, Flax, or broadleaf crops.
Clean Up After You Spray:
· When using tank mixes, consult the tank mix partner label for additional cleanup instructions.
· Drain or flush equipment and containers away from wells, water sources, and desirable vegetation. To avoid subsequent injury to other crops, immediately after spraying and before spraying other crops, thoroughly remove all traces of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide from mixing and spray equipment by flushing with a water/detergent mixture.

Section 13: Resistance Management Recommendations |
For resistance management, PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide and other Group 1 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance:
· Where possible, rotate the use of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide or other Group 1 herbicides within a growing season (sequence) or among growing season with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
· Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(s) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.
· Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
· Monitor weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group.
· Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment and planting clean seed.
· Have suspected resistant weed seeds tested by a qualified laboratory to confirm resistance and identify alternative herbicide options.
· Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
· For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your local Bayer representative, or call Bayer CropScience toll-free at 1-888-283-6847.

Section 14: Livestock Feeding and Pre-Harvest Intervals |
· Do not graze the treated wheat or barley or cut for hay within 25 days of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide application, or harvest for grain within 65 days of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide application.
· Do not graze the treated perennial ryegrass or cut for straw within 65 days of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide application.
· Do not graze the treated meadow bromegrass or tall fescue or cut for hay within 25 days of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide application.
