ABOUT XTENDIMAX™ WITH VAPORGRIP™ TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE

 

XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE  controls broadleaf weeds in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend™ soybeans and XtendFlex™ soybeans, cereals, field corn, reduced tillage (prior to seeding and reduced tillage fallow), pastures and rangeland grasses, crop-free land (summerfallow and stubble), red fescue, canary seed (Phalaris canariensis), seedling grasses grown for seed and forage, and low bush blueberries.

 

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

1. XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE should not be applied on or near desirable trees or plants.
2. Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE when air temperature is between 10 and 25°C. Do not apply when there is a risk of severe fall in night temperature after use.
3. 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.
4. Do not treat areas where movement of the chemical into the soil or surface washing may bring XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE into contact with roots of desirable plants.
5. Crop damage can occur if XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is applied at any time other than the recommended crop stage.

NOTE: Crops growing under stress from adverse environmental conditions such as excess moisture, drought, disease, etc., may suffer a further setback and exhibit more pronounced injury symptoms if XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is applied. However, the crop injury that may occur is usually offset by the weed control obtained.

6. Unless otherwise specified, do not use additives such as oil, wetting agents, emulsifiers, detergents, spreaders, sticking agents, or dispersing agents with XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE on crops.
7. If XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is tank-mixed with another product, such as 2,4-D, consult that product’s label for additional safety precautions, restrictions, application rates, timings and additional weeds controlled.
8. Ensure that spray equipment used to apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is properly cleaned before re-using to apply any other chemicals. See section on suggested procedure for cleaning spray equipment.

SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS

 

XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly non-Roundup Ready 2 Xtend™ Soybeans and XtendFlex™ Soybeans, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, tobacco, and other broadleaf plants especially in their developmental and growing stage. Follow these precautions when spraying in the vicinity of sensitive crops:

 

1. Treat when wind is 5 to 15 km/h. Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when weather conditions may cause drift from target areas to adjacent sensitive crops. Leave an adequate buffer zone between treatment areas and sensitive plants.
2. Use coarse sprays since they are less likely to drift than fine sprays. Select nozzles which minimize amounts of the fine spray particles. Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressure, and use high flow rate (large orifice) nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.
3. Do not spray when the temperature is expected to exceed 30°C.
4. Avoid spraying under conditions of high humidity or fog.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS

 

Toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants.  Observe buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

 

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) Coarse classification.  Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

 

Surface Runoff

To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to, heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured or low in organic matter such as clay).

 

Potential contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including an untreated vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.

 

Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecast.

 

Leaching

The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.

 

Buffer Zones

Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone:  hand-held or backpack sprayer, spot treatment and inter-row hooded sprayer.

 

For application to rights-of-way, buffer zones for protection of sensitive terrestrial habitats are not required; however, the best available application strategies to minimize off-site drift, including meteorological conditions (e.g. wind direction, low wind speed) and spray equipment

(e.g. coarse droplet sizes, minimizing height above canopy), should be used.  Applicators must, however, observe the specified buffer zones for protection of sensitive aquatic habitats.

 

The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, rangelands, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats. 

 

When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture.

Equipment – DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT TO ROUNDUP READY 2 XTEND SOYBEANS  AND XTENDFLEX SOYBEANS USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT.

Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE to weeds < 10 cm.

Water Volume – apply this product in a minimum of 100 Liters of spray solution per hectare. 

Spray Drift Management

Do not allow herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation because severe injury or destruction to desirable broadleaf plants could result. The following drift management requirements must be followed to ensure application accuracy from ground application onto agricultural field crops.

 

Controlling Droplet Size

The most effective way to reduce spray drift potential is to apply large droplets (coarser spray qualities) that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if the application is made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see the “Wind Speed and Direction”, “Temperature and Humidity” and “Temperature Inversions” sections of this label).

• Nozzle type. Use only spray nozzles that produce Extremely Coarse to Ultra Coarse spray qualities and minimal amounts of fine spray droplets as defined by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S-572.1). Do not use conventional flat fan nozzles that produce Medium or Fine spray qualities.

Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations to determine the proper operating pressure,  nozzle spacing and ground speed that will deliver Extremely Coarse to Ultra Coarse spray qualities at spray volumes of at least 100 L/ha.

 

• Spray Pressure. Adjust pressure for selected nozzles according to the nozzle manufacturer to maintain Extremely Coarse to Ultra Coarse spray qualities. Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. Use sufficient spray pressure with air induction nozzles to ensure a good spray pattern, while maintaining Extremely Coarse to Ultra Coarse sprays; use at least 200 kPa to ensure proper pattern overlap and check this visually. Confirm that sprayer rate controller hardware (if so equipped) does not increase pressure above the range that produces the correct spray quality. Calibrate the flow rate for the selected nozzles on the equipment used to apply this product.

 

• Spray Volume. Apply this product in a minimum of 100 Liters of spray solution per hectare. Use a higher spray volume when treating dense vegetation. Higher spray volumes also allow the use of larger nozzle orifices (sizes) which produce coarser spray droplets.

 

• Equipment Ground Speed. Select a ground speed under 25 km/h that will deliver the desired spray volume while maintaining the desired spray pressure. Slower speeds generally result in more uniform spray coverage and deposition on the target area.

 

• Spray boom Height. Spray at the appropriate boom height based on nozzle selection and nozzle spacing (should not be more than 50 cm above target pest or crop canopy). Set boom to lowest effective height over the target pest or crop canopy based on equipment manufacturer’s directions. Automated boom height controllers are recommended with large booms to better maintain optimum nozzle to canopy height. Excessive boom height will increase the potential for spray drift.

 

Temperature and Humidity

When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.

 

Temperature Inversions.

Do not apply during a temperature inversion because off-target movement potential is high.

• During a temperature inversion, the atmosphere is very stable and vertical air mixing is restricted, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions.

• Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on evenings, nights, and early mornings with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. After sunset, air at the earth’s surface cools and air is trapped by warmer air above it. Inversions begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.

• Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

• The inversion will dissipate with increased winds (above 5 km/h) or after sunrise when the surface air begins to warm.

 

Wind Speed and Direction

• Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 5 to 15 km/h.

• If the wind speed is 5 km/h or less and fog is present, indicating a temperature inversion, do not apply this product.

• If fog is not present, conduct a smoke test. Smoke that moves upward confirms there is no inversion present whereas smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud, indicates a temperature inversion exists. Do not apply this product during a temperature inversion. Wait until the wind speed is greater than 5 km/h to ensure that any inversion has lifted.

• Do not spray this product when the wind is blowing in the direction of a sensitive area at a wind speed greater than 15 km/h.

• For XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE wind speed and direction restrictions see below table:

 

Wind speed	Application conditions and restrictions
<5 km/h	Do not apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE if temperature inversion exists.
5-15 km/h	Optimum XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE application conditions.
>15 km/h	DO NOT apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE.

NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift.

Additives and tank mixes

 

• Nozzle selection is one of the most important parameters for drift reduction. A drift reduction additive may be used with this product to further reduce fine droplets.

 

• Not all drift reduction additives are compatible with every nozzle type and pesticide /

adjuvant combination. Check with the additive manufacturer to insure that the drift additive

will work properly with the spray nozzle, spray pressure and your specific spray solution. Read and carefully observe all precautions, limitations and all other information on the

 product label.

 

• A quality nonionic surfactant (NIS) of at least 70% active may be added to the spray solution at 0.25 % v/v. Read and carefully observe all caution statements and other information on the surfactant label.

 

• Do not add acidifying buffering agents, acidic pH adjusting agents or adjuvants other than agriculturally approved NIS to the spray solution. Do not add ammonium sulfate (AMS), AMS-containing adjuvants, water conditioners, or sprayable fluid fertilizers.

 

• Do not use crop oil concentrates (COC) and methylated seed oils (MSO) as adjuvants when this product is applied with glyphosate-based agricultural herbicides. When XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is used with another herbicide that requires the use of a COC or MSO adjuvant follow the label instructions of that product.

 

• In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury.  The user should contact Bayer CropScience at 1-888-283-6847 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label.

 

• Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE or tank mixtures with XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE at a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha.

Sensitive Areas

This product should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for species at risk, or sensitive crop plants) is minimal (e.g. when the wind is blowing away from sensitive areas). Applicators should survey the surrounding area before making an application of this product.

 

Failure to follow the requirements in this label, could result in severe injury or destruction to desirable sensitive crops and trees, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, and other broadleaf plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage.

 

Application Awareness

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

 

The interaction of equipment and weather related factors must be monitored to maximize performance and on-target spray deposition. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making a spray decision.

 

Proper spray system equipment cleanout

Minute quantities of dicamba may cause injury to non-Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans and XtendFlex soybeans and other sensitive crops (see the “Sensitive Areas” section of this label for a listing of sensitive crops).

Clean equipment immediately after using this product, using a triple rinse procedure as follows:

 

1.     After spraying, drain the sprayer (including boom and lines) immediately. Do not allow the spray solution to remain in the spray boom lines overnight prior to flushing.

2.     Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.

3.     Inspect and clean all strainers, screens and filters.

4.     Prepare a cleaning solution with a commercial detergent or sprayer cleaner or ammonia according to the manufacturer’s directions.

5.     Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly re-circulate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.

6.     Flush hoses, spray lines and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.

7.     Repeat above steps for two additional times to accomplish an effective triple rinse.

8.     Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.

9.     Appropriately dispose of rinsate from steps 1-7 in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.   

10.  Drain sump, filter and lines.

11.  Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

 

All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with municipal, provincial, and federal guidelines.

Treatment Notes

 

1.     Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE or XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE tank-mixes as broadcast ground treatments in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha. Use nozzles with larger orifices to promote coarser spray droplets. Adjust pressure for selected nozzles according to the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures.

 

2.     Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE in MON 87419 corn either Preplant, At-planting, Pre-emergence and/or Post-emergence up to 8-leaf stage or 76 cm in height of the crop, which ever comes first.

 

3.     XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE should be used in MON 87419 corn with other foundation residual corn herbicides with alternate sites of action.

 

4.     Keep spray mixture in suspension at all times. If mixture is allowed to settle, thoroughly agitate the mixture before spraying.

 

5.     Do not apply to seed corn or sweet corn.

 

6.     Unless otherwise specified, do not use additives such as oil, wetting agents, emulsifiers, detergents, spreaders, sticking agents, or dispersing agents on corn with XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE.

 

7.     Corn height refers to the crop as it stands, not leaf-extended. 

 

8.     For the best control of annuals, spray when they are actively growing and in the seedling stage (<10 cm). Poor results may occur if weeds are well advanced at the time of application.

 

9.     When applying XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE adjacent to sensitive crops, apply as a pre-emergent or early post-emergent treatment to avoid potential drift onto these sensitive crops.

 

10.  When tank mixes are permitted, read and observe all label directions, including rates and restrictions for each product used in the tank mix.  Follow the more stringent label precautionary measures for mixing, loading, and applying stated on both product labels.

 

XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE / LIQUID NITROGEN

Pre-emergent applications of XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE are generally compatible with most liquid nitrogen fertilizers.  To determine compatibility, mix all components of the finished spray in proportionate quantities in a small jar before mixing in the spray tank.  If the herbicides do not ball-up or form flakes, sludge, jelly, oily films or layers, or other precipitates within 5 minutes after mixing, the tested spray-mix is compatible.

Pre-Emergence Treatment Notes

• Apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE tank-mixes as broadcast ground treatments after planting but before weeds and corn emerge.
• Apply to medium to fine textured soils containing more than 2.5% organic matter.
• Do not use on sandy or sandy loam soils.
• Avoid direct chemical contact with the corn seed. If you plan to apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE prior to corn emergence, be sure to place the corn seeds 4 cm or more below the soil surface. If seeds are planted less than 4 cm below the soil surface, delay application of XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE until the spike stage.
• Do not incorporate. If applications are made during planting, apply XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE far enough behind the planting equipment to avoid incorporation by the planter wheel or other covering device. If soil crusting makes it necessary to use a rotary hoe after a pre-emergence treatment, delay hoeing the soil more than 1.3 cm deep.
• Always consult the tank mix partner label for further limitations and restrictions (especially re: soil type).

 

Post-Emergence Treatment

XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE or XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE tank-mixes can be applied as “overlay” to corn previously treated with any other broadleaf or grass herbicide. The 1.71 L/ha rate of XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE as “overlay” is particularly effective in controlling velvetleaf and providing extended residual control of other late germinating, deep rooted annuals.

Treatment Notes

1. XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE + Roundup brand agricultural products (glyphosate only) applications may be applied to emerged annual grass and annual broadleaf weeds in reduced tillage systems prior to seeding of spring wheat, spring barley, spring rye, winter wheat, oats, and field corn only.
2. Do not apply prior to seeding sweet corn.
3. Planting should follow soon after application since this tank-mix does not provide residual weed control.
4. Delayed planting following chemical application will allow weeds to emerge between application and crop emergence.
5. For field corn, apply to medium to fine textured soils containing more than 2.5% organic matter. Do not use on sandy or sandy loam soil.
6. Certain broadleaf crops such as sweet corn, lentils, peas, canola and flax can be injured by a pre-seeding application of this tank-mix and should not be planted after the use of this tank-mix.
7. Under certain stress conditions, such as drought, cool temperatures or where extremely hard water (> 700 ppm Ca + Mg) will be used, use 50 L/ha of water with this tank-mix to help improve results. However, the combination of low water volume and coarse sprays may reduce spray coverage.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

 

For resistance management, XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE and other Group 4 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 XTENDIMAX WITH VAPORGRIP TECHNOLOGY HERBICIDE or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season (sequence) or among growing seasons 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 when moving between fields, 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 Bayer CropScience at 1-888-283-6847 or at www.cropscience.bayer.ca.
