GENERAL INFORMATION

Fluro Star Max Herbicide is a selective postemergent herbicide for the control of annual broadleaved weeds in spring wheat, durum wheat, winter wheat, spring barley and oats, not underseeded with legumes. Fluro Star Max Herbicide offers a novel mode of action for controlling hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds such as kochia (including ALS resistant biotypes) and cleavers. Fluro Star Max Herbicide will also provide suppression of hempnettle, wild buckwheat and chickweed.

MODE OF ACTION

Fluro Star Max Herbicide is a systemic auxin-type herbicide and moves within the plant for control of exposed and underground plant tissues. The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of weeds include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS

Sensitive Plants
Do not apply Fluro Star Max 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 Fluro Star Max Herbicide can be seeded the following year to alfalfa, barley, canola, corn, dry beans, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, potatoes, rye, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed.

Tank Mixtures
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 Albaugh, LLC at 1-800-247-8013 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by Albaugh, LLC.

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) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural
Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.

Application Timing
Apply to actively growing spring wheat, durum wheat, spring barley and oats from the 2-leaf crop growth stage up to and including initiation of stem elongation. Apply to winter wheat in the spring from the 3 tiller stage to just before the flag leaf stage. Apply when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at and following time of application may reduce weed control and increase the risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control. Fluro Star Max Herbicide applications are rainfast within 1 hour after application. Under conditions of low crop and high weed density, control may be reduced.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Ground Application
Using ground equipment, apply Fluro Star Max Herbicide alone or with tank mix partners as a broadcast treatment. Apply Fluro Star Max Herbicide alone at the recommended rates in a spray volume of 50-100 L water/ha. When tank mixing refer to the label of the tank mix partner label for additional instructions, water volumes, precautions and weeds controlled.

Aerial Application
DO NOT use human flaggers.
Use Fluro Star Max Herbicide alone or tank mixed with a product registered for aerial application as a broadcast treatment. Apply the recommended rates of Fluro Star Max Herbicide and tank mix partner as indicated elsewhere on this label. Apply in a spray volume of 30-50 L water/ha. Refer to the tank mix partner label for additional instructions, precautions and weeds controlled. 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. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate swath marking devices.

Use Precautions
Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even 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.
