DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Stage of Wild Oat Growth AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat herbicide should give successful wild oat control during an extended period from the 3 - 4 leaf stage to the 5th leaf stage.

GROUND APPLICATION
Volume of spray per hectare:
A uniform spray of 100 litres per hectare which thoroughly covers the wild oat plants must be used. See chart for amounts of water to be added when a 20 litre pail of AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat herbicide is being used. See chart on this following pages for tips and tip pressures.

AERIAL APPLICATION
Apply AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat herbicide at the recommended rates in 20 - 50 litres water per hectare.
DO NOT apply when the wind velocity exceeds 15 km/h. Application should be made as close to the growing crop as feasible.
DO NOT permit spray drift to contaminate crops other than those being sprayed. It is recommended that a flagman be located at each end of the field or that an automatic mechanical flagging unit be attached to the aircraft to ensure uniform aerial application and to avoid overlapping. If flagmen, are present they should wear chemical resistant disposable coveralls, goggles or face shield and a respirator with appropriate filter. Caution should be exercised to prevent bystander exposure to spray.
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. T o avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
Use Precautions
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 any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in finer particles. Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.
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 casesw here 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.
Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-323-264-3910 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.

MIXING
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean, filtered water then add required quantity of AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide. Add additional water required.
Circulate the spray mixture in the tank for 5 minutes before spraying begins to ensure thorough mixing.

WAITING INTERVALS
For any broadleaf herbicide registered for tank-mixing with AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide, a waiting interval is not required between its application and the application of AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide.
Allow a minimum 5 day interval between the application of any other pesticide not registered for tank-mixing with AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide and the application of AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide.
Failure to observe this interval may result in poor wild oat control. A longer waiting interval may be required if any sign of crop stress is evident.

FOAMING
AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide may cause foaming in certain types of water. If this occurs agitation should be kept to a minimum and a silicone anti-foaming agent added, for example, HALT®.

SPRAYER INFORMATION
Flat fan spray tips are recommended over cone tips.
Pressure at nozzle tips should be 275 kPa, lower pressures may result in poor control.
Tilt spray boom forward 45º if flat fan nozzle tips are used.
Wash sprayer thoroughly after spraying has been completed.

HOW TO USE AVENGE 200-C DIFENZOQUAT LIQUID POST-EMERGENCE WILD OAT
HERBICIDE PLUS BROADLEAF HERBICIDES
Select the proper AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide application rate as described in the AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide RECOMMENDATIONS TABLE.
DO NOT apply AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide tank-mix combinations under stress conditions.
In order to assure optimum broadleaf weed control, follow label recommendations of the broadleaf herbicides used with AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide. Refer to the tankmix partner label for recommended rates.
When tank-mixing broadleaf herbicides use only on barley, canary grass and wheat, and apply only those listed below following the mixing instructions.
When tank-mixing follow the most restrictive precautions, directions and recropping/rotation limitations that appear on both products labels.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR TANK MIXES OTHER THAN DRY FLOWABLES
1. Fill tank one-half to three-quarters full with clean water and start agitating.
2. Add the broadleaf herbicide to the partially filled tank while agitating.
3. Add AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide when tank is three-quarters filled while agitating. Fill tank and agitate, or, recycle for at least five minutes before spraying.
4. Continue agitation until spraying is completed.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide is a Group 8 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide and other Group 8 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 AVENGE 200-C Difenzoquat Liquid Post-Emergence Wild Oat Herbicide or other Group 8 herbicides 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.
Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development.
Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment and planting clean seed.
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.
