DIRECTIONS FOR USE

4.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 
Do not apply this product using aerial spray equipment except under conditions as specified within this booklet. Observe buffer zones specified in section 5.3. AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540, a water soluble liquid, mixes readily with water for application as a foliage spray for the control or destruction of most herbaceous plants. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water in accordance with the booklet instructions. This herbicide moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days but on most perennial weeds may not occur until 7 to 10 days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather at treatment time may slow down activity of this product and delay visual effects of control. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Delay application until vegetation has emerged to the stages described for control of such vegetation under the “Annual and Perennial Weed Control” (section 7.0 and 8.0) to provide adequate leaf surface to receive the spray. Unemerged plants arising from underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the spray and will continue to grow. For this reason best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity. Always use the higher rate of this product per hectare within the recommended range when weed growth is heavy or dense, or weeds are growing in an undisturbed (non-cultivated) area. Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage, as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust. This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control follow a label approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. Rainfall occurring within 60 minutes of treatment may result in reduced weed control. Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Do not mix with any surfactant, pesticide, herbicide oils or any other material other than water unless specified in this booklet. For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of run-off.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 is a Group 9 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 and other Group 9 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 AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 or other Group 9 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 weedmanagement recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. 
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Albaugh at 1-800-247-8013.

NOTE: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this booklet may result in injury to persons, animals or crops, or other unintended consequences. Keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination.

5.2 MIXING AND APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

MIXING WITH WATER 
For ground or industrial type sprayers, fill the spray tank with one-half the required amount of water. Add the proper amount of herbicide, see “Weed Control” (sections 7.1 and 8.1) and mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the liquid solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing hose from tank immediately will avoid back siphoning into water source. Use of mechanical agitators may cause excessive foaming. Bypass lines should terminate at the bottom of the tank. For use in knapsack sprayers, it is suggested that the proper amount of this herbicide be mixed with water in a larger container. Fill sprayer with the mixed solution.

TANK MIXING PROCEDURE
The following steps should be followed when adding tank mix partners, using a herbicide loading system or adding product directly into the tank: 
1. Fill spray tank 3/4 full of water. 
2. Start agitation and run for entire mixing and spraying operation. 
3. Add required amount of the tank mix partner. 
4. Flush herbicide loading tank and herbicide containers with water. 
5. If using a herbicide loading system – ensure that the loading tank and lines to the pump are empty and flushed out with water before adding tank mix partner. 
6. Add required amount of AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540. 
7. Flush herbicide loading tank and herbicide containers with water. 
8. If using a herbicide loading system – ensure that the loading tank and lines to the pump are flushed with water and empty before starting spray operation. Always start and end the mixing and spraying operation with a clean system.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SURFACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38412 may prevent corrosion.

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 non-target 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 fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray dift. Do no spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure.

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. 103317 CrushR 540 (EngFr 10L) BK 8/17/15 1:34 PM Page 8 9 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 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.

Product Specific Precautions 
Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call Agri Star Canada Customer Service 1-800-247-8013 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.

8.2 SPECIAL NOTES FOR PERENNIAL WEED CONTROL

8.2.1 QUACKGRASS 
For season-long control on fall tilled ground: Apply 1.67 litres per hectare of this product in spring prior to seeding. Apply in 50 to 100 litres per hectare of clean water as described in the preceding table. Delay application until the majority of quackgass plants have 4 to 5 green leaves. This stage usually occurs 1 to 4 weeks later on fall tilled ground than on undisturbed ground. Reduced control may result on ground tilled deeper than 15 centimetres. 
NOTE: This treatment will provide season-long control of quackgrass on fall tilled ground. Reduced control will be experienced versus this product on non-fall tilled ground. Repeat treatments may be necessary. 
Applications on forages should be followed by tillage 3 days or later and should be made when good growing conditions exist. If a frost has occurred, wait several days to determine if the quackgrass has recovered. Quackgrass can be treated after a mild frost provided there are 3 to 4 green leaves actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall.

8.2.2 SURFACTANT INFORMATION 
The following is a list of approved surfactants for use with AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 for control of quackgrass: Agral 90,Companion, Ag Surf 
Always refer to surfactant label for specific instructions regarding use of that product.

8.2.3 CANADA THISTLE 
Control of Canada 
Thistle at the rosette stage: To ensure the proper timing of application the following steps must be followed: 
1. Conduct summerfallow tillage as usual and perform the last tillage operation between July 15th and August 1st. 
2. Allow the thistles to regrow for a minimum of 5 weeks until they are a minimum of 15 centimetres in diameter and in the rosette stage of growth.
NOTE: Canada thistle can be treated after a mild frost provided the leaves are still green and actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall.
AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 PLUS BANVEL II TANK MIXTURES 
For control of Canada thistle (and perennial sow thistle) in summerfallow or in postharvest stubble, apply 1.13 litres per hectare AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 plus 1.25 litres per hectare Banvel II in 100-200 litres per hectare of clean water. In addition, add 350 millilitres per hectare of a non-ionic surfactant registered for use with this product, such as Agral 90, Ag-Surf or Companion. For best results in summerfallow, cultivate in the spring and apply when the majority of thistles are 15 centimetres to 25 centimetres tall and before the bud stage. Cultivate 3 weeks after application. In postharvest stubble, apply this tank mixture to actively growing thistles at least 2 weeks prior to a damaging frost. 
NOTE: Grow only cereals, canola (including rapeseed), soybeans, field corn, sweet corn, or white beans after application of this tank mixture. If application is made after September 1st, or if soil moisture levels are extremely low after application, crop injury may occur in the spring following application. WEED APPLICATION: COMMENTS GROWTH STAGE RATE (L/ha) WATER VOLUME (L/ha) Foxtail Barley Seedling to heading 1.67-3.33 50-100 Allow a minimum of 1 day after treatment before tillage or seeding. Use higher rates for larger, more established plants, heavy infestations or if plants are stressed. Other Perennials (see listing section 6.2) Early heading or early bud stage 4.67-8 100-300 Allow 7 or more days after treatment before tillage.

8.2.4 TOADFLAX 
Control of Toadflax in a Summerfallow Vegetative Stage 
To ensure the proper timing of application, the following steps must be followed: 
1. Conduct summerfallow tillage as usual and perform the last tillage operation between July 10th to July 21st. 
2. Allow toadflax to regrow for a minimum of 4 to 5 weeks until they are minimum of 15 centimetres tall and at a lush green vegetative stage. 
NOTE: Toadflax can be treated after a mild frost provided the leaves are still green and actively growing at the time of application. Do not apply after the first damaging frost.

8.2.5 DANDELION 
Applications should be made up to and including bloom for best results. Follow-up control measures should be used to manage new dandelions germinating from seed to maintain control throughout the season.

8.2.6 ALFALFA CONTROL WITH 2,4-D TANK MIX 
The addition of 2,4-D may improve alfalfa control in situations where control may be more difficult to obtain, such as in minimum tillage systems where populations are heavy, and with spring applications. For fall control of established stands of alfalfa, apply 1.67 to 3.33 litres per hectare AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 and 1.2 to 2.4 litres per hectare of any 500 grams per litre 2,4-D amine or low volatile ester formulation in 100 to 200 litres of water per hectare. (Adjust product rates accordingly for other 2,4-D formulations). For spring applications, use only the low rate of 2,4-D (i.e., 1.2 litres per hectare) and 1.67 to 3.33 litres per hectare AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540. Only cereal crops not underseeded to legumes may be planted following spring applications of this tank mix, and a 14 day interval between application and planting is required. Use the higher AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 rates when perennial grasses are prevalent.

8.2.7 ALL PERENNIAL WEEDS
Weed Stages: Weeds must be at the proper stage for effective control. Refer to “Perennial Weed Control with AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540” (section 8.1). 
Nozzle Type: For best results with conventional boom equipment apply this product with 50 to 300 litres per hectare of clean water using flat fan nozzles and no more pressure than 275 kPa. 
Rhizome Dormancy: Reduced control may result if rhizomes have become dormant. Dormancy may occur if soil fertility is low and/or the land has not been tilled for several years. 
Mowing Effects: Mowing prior to application will reduce effectiveness unless weeds are allowed to regrow to the proper stage before application. 
Tillage Effects: Fall or spring tillage prior to spring applications and tillage between harvesting and fall applications will reduce the effectiveness on perennial weeds. Follow-up tillage after application should be delayed 5 to 7 days for best results. See “Weed Control” tables (sections 7.1 and 8.1) for specific tillage interval for each weed. 
Rainfall Effects: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. 
Regrowth from Germinating Seeds: This product only controls emerged plants. Repeat treatments or other weed control measures may be required to control weeds regenerating from seeds or other underground parts. 
Frost Effects: Heavy frosts prior to application may reduce control. Do not apply after the first damaging frost in the fall.

9.6 FORAGES LEGUMES AND GRASSES 
This product may be applied for control of emerged weeds prior to emergence of forage legumes and grasses. If the forages are to be under-seeded with a cover crop, this product must be applied prior to planting the cover crop.

9.7 PASTURE RENOVATION 
Use this product to control or suppress existing vegetation for zero-tillage seeding of legumes into established sod for pasture renovation. Delay spraying until weed growth is at least 20 centimetres in height and a maximum number of seedlings or shoots have emerged. Application can be made immediately before, during or after seeding, but before crop emergence.

9.8 FORAGE SEED PRODUCTION 
For spot treatment control of perennial weed problems such as quackgrass and Canada thistle in seed fields, apply as directed to vegetation that is at least 20 to 25 centimetres in height but before emergence of seed head. The crop in the treated areas will be killed. Take care to avoid drift outside target areas for the same reason.

9.9 PREHARVEST TREATMENT CONTROL OF QUACKGRASS, CANADA THISTLE, MILKWEED, TOADFLAX AND DANDELION; SEASON-LONG CONTROL OF PERENNIAL SOW THISTLE, AND HARVEST MANAGEMENT 
For control of quackgrass, Canada thistle, common milkweed, toadflax and dandelion; and season-long control of perennial sow thistle, AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 can be applied prior to harvest of wheat, barley (including malting barley), oats, canola (rapeseed) (including Roundup Ready varieties), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), lentils, peas, dry beans, soybeans (including Roundup Ready varieties) and forages. DO NOT apply to crops if grown for seed production. This treatment may also provide harvest management benefits, by drying down crop and weed vegetative growth, for example, where late flushes of annual weeds, green vegetative crop growth, or late tillering may interfere with harvest operations. EXTREMELY COOL, WET AND/OR CLOUDY WEATHER CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE TIME OF APPLICATION AND THE ANTICIPATED HARVEST DATE MAY SLOW DOWN ACTIVITY OF THIS PRODUCT, THEREBY DELAYING CROP DRYDOWN AND HARVEST DATE. Preharvest treatment to Roundup Ready varieties of canola and soybean provides weed control only. AGRI STAR CRUSH’R 540 should be applied preharvest at 1.67 litres per hectare in 50 to 100 litres per hectare of clean water, by ground application only. Apply only when the crop has 30 percent or less grain moisture content. This stage typically occurs 7 to 14 days before harvest. For forage crops, apply this product at 1.67 to 3.33 litres per hectare 3 to 7 days prior to the last cut before rotation or forage renovation. Consult the table “Guidelines for Timing of Preharvest Applications” (section 9.9.1) for visual indicators of this stage in each crop. For the best weed control results, quackgrass should be actively growing and have at least 4 to 5 green leaves. Canada thistle and perennial sow thistle should be actively growing and at or beyond the bud stage for best results. Common milkweed should be at the bud to bloom stage and actively growing for best results. Applications for weed control (not for harvest management) must be made at the correct stage of both weed and crop growth. Apply only during the period 7 to 14 days (or 3 to 7 days for forage applications) before harvest to ensure best weed control and to maximize harvest management benefits. Earlier application may reduce crop yield and/or quality, and may lead to excess glyphosate residues in the crop. Overspray or drift to important wildlife habitats such as bodies of water, wetlands (e.g., sloughs), shelterbelts, woodlots and other cover on the edges of fields frequented by wildlife, should be avoided. Leave a 15 metre buffer zone between the last spray swath and the edge of any of these habitats. Do not expose or contaminate any body of water or non-target vegetation by direct application, spray drift, or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.

9.9.2 PREHARVEST AERIAL APPLICATION Refer to the general guidelines for aerial application in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 as well as specific instructions in this section.

9.11 TREE, VINE, BERRY AND OTHER CROPS 
This product is recommended for annual and perennial weed control in established vineyards or orchards, in blueberry, cranberry and strawberry, or for site preparation prior to transplanting tree and vine crops. Applications may be made with boom equipment, shielded sprayers, hand held and high volume orchard guns, or with wiper applicator equipment (orchards, vineyards, cranberry and strawberry only). See “Mixing and Application Equipment Information” (section 5.2) and the following table for specific information on the use of equipment. Repeat treatments may be necessary to control weeds originating from underground parts of untreated weeds or from seeds. This product does not provide residual or pre-emergent weed control. For subsequent weed control, follow a program using residual herbicides or use repeated applications of this product. Do not apply more than 23 litres of this product per hectare per year. EXTREME CARE MUST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE SOLUTION, SPRAY, DRIFT, OR MIST WITH FOLIAGE OR GREEN BARK OF TRUNK, BRANCHES, SUCKERS, FRUIT, CANES OF BLUEBERRY BUSHES, OR OTHER PARTS OF TREES OR VINES. CONTACT OF THIS PRODUCT WITH OTHER THAN MATURED BROWN BARK CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS CROP DAMAGE. Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed or cut and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended stage for treatment.

9.12 SELECTIVE EQUIPMENT WIPER APPLICATORS This product may be applied with a wiper applicator, after dilution and thorough mixing with water, to listed weeds in soy and dry beans, grapes, orchards, cranberries and strawberries. Applications must be made before initial pod set in soy and dry beans. (It may also be used in any industrial, tree planting and non-crop site specified on this label. See sections 9.10 and 10.1). A wiper applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed with an absorbent material containing the herbicide solution. Wiper applicators include either roller or wick devices which physically wipe appropriate concentrations or amounts of this product directly onto the weed. Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Performance may be improved by reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to insure adequate wiper saturation. Best results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions. AVOID CONTACT WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators used above desired vegetation should be adjusted so that wiper contact point is at least 5 centimetres above the desirable vegetation. Droplets or foam of the herbicide solution settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Applications should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 15 centimetres above the desirable vegetation. Best results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, severe infestations, or when the height of the weeds varies so that not all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat treatments may be necessary. See the “Weed Control” tables (sections 7.1 and 8.1) for recommended stage of growth for specific weeds. 
NOTES 
Maintain equipment in good operating condition. Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. 
Adjust height of applicator to insure proper contact with weeds. 
Keep wiping surfaces clean. 
Maintain recommended roller RPM on roller applicators while in use. 
Keep wiper material at proper degree of saturation with herbicide solution. 
DO NOT use wiper equipment when weeds are wet. 
DO NOT operate equipment at ground speeds below 4 and greater than 10 kilometres per hour. Weed control may be affected by speed of application equipment. As weed density increases, reduce equipment ground speed to insure good coverage of weeds. 
Be aware that on sloping ground the herbicide solution may migrate, causing dripping on the lower end and drying on the upper end of the wiper applicator. 
Variation in equipment design may affect weed control. With wiper applicators, the wiping material and its orientation must allow delivery of sufficient quantities of the recommended herbicide solution directly to the weed. 
Care must be taken with all types of wipers to insure that the absorbent material does not become over-saturated, causing the herbicide to drip onto desirable vegetation. 
With all equipment, drain and clean wiper parts immediately after using this product, by thoroughly flushing with water.

For Roller Applicators – Mix 0.33 to 0.67 litres of this product in 10 litres water to prepare a 3 to 7 percent solution. Roller speed should be maintained at 50 to 150 RPM. 
For Wick or other Wiper Applicators – Mix 0.57 litres of this product in 2 litres of water to prepare a 22 percent solution.
