PRODUCT INFORMATION
Legend NG Herbicide is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide with a built in adjuvant system for the selective control of wild oats, volunteer (tame) oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail, barnyard grass, Persian darnel and volunteer canary seed in all types of spring wheat and Durum wheat. Do not use Legend NG Herbicide on barley, as crop injury will occur. Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment except under conditions specified on this label.
Legend NG Herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control. Actively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by a browning and complete control three to five weeks after application.
Although Legend NG Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds, Legend NG Herbicide can be tank-mixed with a wide range of broadleaf herbicides to provide broad spectrum weed control in wheat. It can also be tank mixed with Decis Flowable Insecticide and MATADOR 120EC Insecticide to control grassy weeds and insects and with TILT 250E Fungicide to control grassy weeds and cereal leaf diseases. See section entitled “TANK MIXES OF Legend NG HERBICIDE WITH BROADLEAF WEED HERBICIDES, INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES” and refer to the appropriate Tank Mix section for ground and aerial application.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuarine/marine habitats.
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay.
Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.
Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
CROPS: Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat
Legend NG Herbicide can be used on all varieties of spring wheat and Durum wheat. Observe minimum interval to harvest of 60 days after treatment.
Do not apply on barley or any crop other than spring wheat or Durum wheat, as crop damage will result. Do not allow spray to drift to adjacent fields seeded to crops other than spring wheat or Durum wheat.
Do not treat wheat underseeded to forages. Observe a minimum of three (3) days before grazing livestock on crops treated with Legend NG Herbicide. For use directions specific to application by air, please refer to sections on aerial application. For aerial application precautions, please refer to the precautions section.

RATE OF USE FOR GROUND APPLICATION:
Apply the recommended rate of Legend NG Herbicide in a minimum of 50 to 100 L of water per hectare.
NOTE: Legend NG contains a built in adjuvant system. Do Not add SCORE Adjuvant, or any other Adjuvant to the Legend NG Herbicide mixture.

RATE OF USE FOR AERIAL APPLICATION:
Apply the recommended rate of Legend NG Herbicide in a minimum of 30 L of water per hectare according to the table.
NOTE: Legend NG contains a built in adjuvant system. Do Not add SCORE Adjuvant, or any other adjuvant to the Legend NG Herbicide mixture.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS - GROUND APPLICATION:
1. Clean spray tank and half fill with clean water. Start agitation or bypass system
2. If a broadleaf herbicide, insecticide or fungicide is to be used, add the product FIRST prior to adding Legend NG Herbicide and agitate for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add correct amount of Legend NG Herbicide.
4. Agitate for 3 – 5 minutes before adding remainder of water and then maintain constant agitation.
5. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again.
6. Use the spray suspension as soon as it is prepared.
7. If an oil film starts to build up in the tank, drain tank and then clean with a detergent.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS - GROUND APPLICATION:
1. Legend NG can be applied by ground or air. For aerial application instructions, refer to the section entitled “SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS - AERIAL APPLICATION” which follows this section.
2. Water Volume: 50 to 100 litres per hectare when applied alone and a minimum of 100L/ha when tank-mixed with broadleaf herbicides.
3. Spray Nozzles: 80 or 110 flat fan stainless steel nozzles are recommended for optimal spray coverage. Application of the spray mixture at a 45 angle in the direction of travel will result in improved spray coverage. Use 50 mesh nozzle screens. Do not use flood type nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, spray foils or hollow cone nozzles.
4. Pressure: 275-310 kPa.
5. Apply uniformly at 6-8 km/hr and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to prevent crop injury from an over application.
6. Do not contaminate streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, sloughs, irrigation water, vegetated ditch banks, and water used by livestock or for domestic purposes. Do not apply within 15 meters of a wetland area or any of the aforementioned bodies of water. 

AERIAL APPLICATION
Generic Aerial Application Label Instructions - Directions for Use
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 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 fine particles (mist). 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 cases where 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.
