GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

TOUCHDOWN 450 is a non-volatile, non-selective, water-soluble liquid herbicide absorbed by plant foliage and green stems, moving through the plant from contact to root system. Effects may take 3 to 7 days (annual weeds) or 2 to 3 weeks (perennial weeds) to appear, especially in cool, cloudy conditions. Control is only for emerged weeds, with no residual control. Apply to weeds with at least one true leaf (broadleaf) or two leaves (grasses). Use before sowing any crop except transplanting tomato seedlings. No withholding period for grazing, but delay grazing one day after treatment of annual weeds, or 7 days if perennial weeds are present. Do not allow grazing near naturally toxic plants until treated plants brown.

Weeds should be actively growing; avoid treatment under poor conditions like drought or frost. Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce effectiveness. Avoid spraying wet plants or in low light. Heavy rain within 2 hours may necessitate repeat treatment. Avoid contact with desirable plants, as severe injury may result.

Crop Establishment

Recommended for controlling emerged weeds prior to crop establishment. Suitable cultivation/sowing operations are required. Favorable seed bed conditions allow early sowing. In heavy weed growth situations, delay sowing until weed decay allows proper seed bed formation. Incorporating vegetation into the seed bed may delay crop emergence.

Mixing

Readily mixes with water. Do not use water containing soil or hard water. Do not mix, store, or apply in galvanized or unlined steel containers/tanks. Use stainless steel, plastic, or lined containers. Use solutions promptly and rinse equipment thoroughly after use.

Tank Mixtures/Compatibility

May be tank mixed with specified herbicides, insecticides, and additives. Follow label directions for all tank mix products. Ensure proper mixing order and test mixtures before use.

Application

Non-selective translocated herbicide; contact or slight drift may cause severe injury or destruction to crops and desirable plants. Use medium or coarse spray quality nozzles. Adjust application for environmental conditions, target size, and density. Aerial application permitted in certain situations.

Resistant Weeds Warning

Member of Glycines group; Group M herbicide. Resistance may develop in weed populations. Syngenta accepts no liability for resistant weed control failure.

PROTECTION

Avoid contact with crops, desirable plants, and trees to prevent injury or destruction. Avoid application under conditions or from equipment causing drift onto nearby susceptible plants or pastures.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

Avoid contaminating water sources. Do not apply to weeds growing in or over water. Avoid spraying across open bodies of water.
