GENERAL INFORMATION

Avenza A Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds in spring wheat, winter wheat and spring barley. Avenza A Herbicide is mixed with water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray.
Avenza A Herbicide MUST be applied early postemergence, to the main flush of actively growing broadleaved weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Avenza A Herbicide by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. See “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” section of this label for complete use details.
Avenza A Herbicide stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 2 weeks after application, depending upon growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect are dependent on weed sensitivity, weed size, crop competition, growing conditions at and following treatment, and spray coverage.

MODE OF ACTION

Avenza A Herbicide contains a Group 2 and a 4 mode of action herbicide. The Group 2 mode of action herbicide inhibits the production of the ALS enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids required for plant growth. The Group 4 mode of action herbicide disrupts normal plant growth regulation resulting in death of susceptible plants.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS

Sensitive Plants
Do not apply Avenza A Herbicide directly to, or otherwise permit it to come in direct contact with susceptible crops or desirable plants including alfalfa, edible beans, canola, flowers and ornamentals, lentils, lettuce, peas, potatoes, radishes, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, tomatoes or tobacco.

Non-Target Sites
Do not apply where proximity of susceptible crops or other desirable plants is likely to result in exposure to spray or spray drift. See Environmental Precautions section of the label.

Crop Rotation
Fields previously treated with Avenza A Herbicide can be seeded the following year to alfalfa, barley, canola, corn, dry common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), fababean, flax, lentils, mustard (brown, oriental and/or yellow) oats, peas, potatoes (except seed potatoes), soybeans, sunflower or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed.

Tank Mixtures
This product may be tank mixed with a fertilizer, a supplement, or 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 Corteva Agriscience Canada Company at 1-800-667-3852 or www.corteva.ca for information before applying any tank mix that is not specifically recommended on this label.
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 all product labels.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR CROP DAMAGE. DO NOT APPLY TO CROPS UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUMES.
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.

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 S572.1) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Aerial application
DO NOT apply using aerial application equipment.

Crops
Spring wheat, winter wheat and spring barley

Application Rate
For control of a wide spectrum of broadleaved weeds, apply a uniform spray containing 1.0 L/ha of Avenza A Herbicide in a minimum of 50 L of water per hectare to thoroughly cover the weeds. Apply to actively growing wheat and barley from the 2 leaf expanded to just prior to flag leaf emergence. Apply when weeds are actively growing. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds.

Pre-Harvest/Grazing Intervals
1. Do not cut the treated crop for hay or graze treated crop within 7 days after application.
2. Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application.
