PRODUCT INFORMATION
Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the selective control of wild oats, volunteer tame oats, green foxtail, yellow foxtail, barnyard grass and Persian Darnel in spring wheat, durum wheat, winter wheat, barley, triticale, spring rye, winter rye, and selected forage grasses (except timothy) grown for seed only.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
Only one application per season is permitted. Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature, application equipment and sprayer settings.

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 ASAE 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) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distributions along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wingspan or rotorspan.

Buffer zones: 
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, rangelands, riparian areas and shrublands).

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. NOTE: Applicators may recalculate a site-specific buffer zone by combining information on current weather conditions and spray configuration for the following applications: all airblast applications, and for field and aerial applications which specify the following droplet size category wording on the product label: ‘DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) [Fine or Medium or Coarse] classification. To access the Buffer Zone Calculator, please visit the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.

RATE OF USE: 
Apply Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide at 0.5 L/ha in 50-100 L/ha of water. 
Note: Always add NUFARM TRALKOXYDIM ADJUVANT to the spray solution at a rate of 0.5 L per 100 L of water (0.5% v/v). The incorrect NUFARM TRALKOXYDIM ADJUVANT rate can result in unacceptable weed control or crop injury. See MIXING and SPRAYING INSTRUCTION sections. Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide can be used on the following crops:

CEREAL CROPS: 
(Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat, Winter Wheat, Barley, Triticale, Spring Rye and Winter Rye) Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide can be used in all varieties of spring wheat (including Canada Western red spring, amber durum, soft white spring, extra strong and Canada prairie spring), red winter wheat, all 2 or 6 row varieties of barley (malting and feed varieties), all varieties of triticale, spring rye and winter rye. 

Note: Tillered cereal crops may incur injury if applications are made within 48 hours of freezing temperatures. Non-tillering cereal crops which are exposed to temperatures of 4 C or less up to 48 hours before or after application may incur injury. Tank mixing Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide with a broadleaf weed herbicide under adverse conditions may increase severity of crop injury. Crops under stress from foliar diseases or low fertility are more susceptible to injury from Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide. 

Early crop injury may be observed, but yield should not be reduced. 
Do not use in tame oat crops. Avoid drift onto tame oat and corn crops. 
Do not replant treated areas to tame oats or corn for at least 4 weeks after application.

In Eastern Canada Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is to be used only for the control of wild oats in spring wheat, winter wheat, durum wheat, barley and all varieties of triticale and spring and winter rye.

MINIMUM INTERVAL TO HARVEST: 
Immature cereal crops may be grazed or cut for hay 16 days after treatment. Grain may be harvested 60 days after treatment. Mature straw may be fed to livestock. Do not feed or graze underseeded forage crops in the year of treatment, sufficient data are not available to support this use.

CEREAL CROPS UNDERSEEDED TO FORAGE LEGUMES: 
alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil, sainfoin and clovers. 

Note: Do not tankmix Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide with any broadleaf herbicides when applying to cereal crops underseeded to forage legumes, as the forages may be injured or killed.

WEEDS CONTROLLED: 
Apply Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide to actively growing weeds for best results. Weeds emerging after application of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide will not be controlled.

Weed Control Notes: 
Perennial grasses such as quack grass will not be controlled. Susceptible grassy weeds treated with Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide cease growth soon after application, however, complete die-back of the weeds could take up to 2 weeks. When grass weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the grasses are not actively growing. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur when application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is delayed until the stress conditions have ended and weeds are once again actively growing.
The herbicidal activity of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide can be negatively affected if water containing high concentrations (>400 ppm) of bicarbonate ions is used as a diluent. Water from deep wells is more likely to contain high concentrations of bicarbonate ions. Ammonium sulfate at 9 to 18 kg per 1000 litres of spray solution, can be used to counteract this antagonistic effect. Use only granular or liquid ammonium sulfate formulations which do not contain additional wetters or surfactants.
Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is not affected by rain falling one hour or more after application.

TANK MIXES OF NUFARM TRALKOXYDIM HERBICIDE WITH BROADLEAF WEED HERBICIDES: 
Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide alone will not control broadleaf weeds. For broad spectrum control of both annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide can be tank mixed with a variety of broadleaf weed herbicides. Refer to the following table for details and additional guidance. Read the appropriate broadleaf herbicide label for information on broadleaf weeds controlled. 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 Nufarm Agriculture Inc. at 1-800-868-5444 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 Nufarm Agriculture Inc.

Tank Mixing Notes: 
Read and strictly adhere to the use directions and precautions on the label of the product(s) that is/are being tank mixed with Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide. Also note all environmental restrictions and guidance such as rain fastness and maximum spraying temperatures on the label of the other product(s) being tank mixed. 
Do not tank mix with amine formulations of 2,4-D or with amine formulations of MCPA or with any other herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution or Adjuvant not recommended on the label as poor grass control and/or unacceptable crop injury may result.
With reduced water volumes, tank mixes with Badge, Logic M, Buctril M, Mextrol 450, Thrasher Thumper, Leader, Bromotril 240 EC, Brotex or Pardner may result in some initial injury in the form of "tip burn". This injury, however, will not have any adverse effect on crop maturity or yield. Do not tank mix Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide with broadleaf herbicides when applying to cereal crops underseeded to forage legumes as the forages may be injured or killed. Tank mixes with ATTAIN or PRESTIGE may cause temporary crop injury if applied before the 4- leaf stage, however, yield will not normally be affected. These tank mixes may provide a lower level of wild oat control than Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide alone. Temporary crop injury may occur with registered tank mixes, in particular 2,4-D Ester/dichlorprop products, under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffering from stress due to inadequate or abnormally high moisture levels, or extreme temperatures.
Barley may be injured with tank mixes of 2,4-D Ester/dichlorprop and Badge plus MCPA. Herbicides not listed on this label for tank mixing with Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide may be applied separately in sequence. Always apply Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide first and allow at least 7 days after the application of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide before applying the other herbicide. Herbicides labelled for tank mixing with Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide may also be applied sequentially, either before or after application of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide.

TANK MIXES OF NUFARM TRALKOXYDIM HERBICIDE WITH INSECTICIDES: 
Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide alone or in combination with LOGIC M, BADGE, BUCTRIL M, MEXTROL 450, BROTEX 240, BROMOTRIL, PARDNER or KORIL can be tank mixed with MATADOR 120EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide or DECIS Flowable for one pass weed and insect control. Always add MATADOR 120EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide or DECIS Flowable to the spray tank after the herbicides but before adding NUFARM TRALKOXYDIM ADJUVANT.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: 
Follow the mixing instructions below for adding Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide to the spray tank.
1. Only use sprayers in good running condition with high agitation. Ensure the sprayer and pre-mix tank is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide. Use only clean water for the spray solution. Ensure that all inline strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Screens of 80 mesh size or finer should not be used.
2. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water, and engage agitator. Agitation must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure.
3. When the sprayer or premix tank is three quarters full of water, add Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide. If more than 1 case of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is to be used, add the Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide from all cases prior to adding tank mixed products or Nufarm Tralkoxydim Adjuvant.
4. If tank mixing, add the recommended product(s) next.
5. Lastly, add Nufarm Tralkoxydim Adjuvant, and then continue to fill tank to desired level with water.

GROUND SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS: 
1. Apply in a spray volume of 50-100 L/ha at a pressure of 275 kPa to ensure proper dispersion, spraying characteristics and performance of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide.
2. Flat fan nozzles of 80o or 110o are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment. Nozzles may be angled forward 45o to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Screens of 80 mesh or finer should not be used.
3. Always ensure that agitation is continued until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. Do not begin spraying until fully resuspended. Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide must be sprayed within the same day of mixing.
4. When spraying is completed and prior to using other products, ensure the sprayer tank is thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide residues. Using a pressure washer and the addition of a detergent or AGRAL 90 to the rinse water will enhance removal of residues.

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 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 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.

AERIAL SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS: 
1. Apply in a spray volume of 30 to 45 L/ha at a pressure of 140-275 kPa to ensure proper dispersion, spraying characteristics and performance of Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide.
2. Flat fan nozzles of 80 or 110 are recommended for optimum coverage. Do not use floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50 mesh or coarser. Screens of 80 mesh size or finer should not be used.
3. Always ensure that agitation is continued until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide must be sprayed within the same day of mixing.
4. Do not apply Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide if the wind is more than 13 km/h. This will avoid spray drift onto non-target areas.
5. Do not spray Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide if tame oats are present in adjacent, downwind fields.
6. When spraying is completed and prior to using other products, ensure the sprayer tank is thoroughly rinsed with clean water to remove any remaining Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide residues. Using a pressure washer and the addition of a detergent or AGRAL 90 to the rinse water will enhance removal of residues.
7. DO NOT APPLY within 50 m of non-crop areas. This includes fish-bearing waters, wetlands (potholes, sloughs etc.) and wildlife habitat (hedgerows, rights of way, etc.).

Resistance-Management Recommendations 
For resistance management, Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide and other Group 1 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 Nufarm Tralkoxydim Herbicide or other Group 1 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. To delay resistance, the less resistance-prone partner should control the target weed(s) as effectively as the more resistance-prone partner.
Herbicide use should be based on an integrated weed management program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (for example, higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favour the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
Monitor weed populations after herbicide application for signs of resistance development (for example, only one weed species on the herbicide label not controlled). If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area if possible by an alternative herbicide from a different group. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
Have suspected resistant weed seeds tested by a qualified laboratory to confirm resistance and identify alternative herbicide options. Contact your local extension specialist.
