DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

PERMIT WG HERBICIDE is a wettable granule formulation that selectively controls certain broadleaf weeds and nutsedges in selected crops. PERMIT WG HERBICIDE is effective both preemergence and postemergence. PERMIT WG HERBICIDE can be absorbed through roots, shoots and foliage and is translocated within the plant. The level of weed control following PERMIT WG HERBICIDE application is dependent upon application rate, weed species and size at application time, and growing conditions.
For best results, applications should be made to actively growing weeds at the heights defined in the “USE RATE GUIDE” sections of this label. Heavy infestations should be treated early before the weeds become too competitive with the crop. When early post-emergence treatments are used (in corn), sequential applications may be required to control later weed flushes. Soon after PERMIT WG
HERBICIDE is applied, growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited, and susceptible weeds are no longer competitive with the crop. Following growth inhibition, the leaves and growing point begin to discolor.
Complete control typically occurs within 7 to 14 days depending on the weed size, species and growing conditions.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUCTIONS
APPLY BY GROUND EQUIPMENTONLY
 PERMIT WG HERBICIDE can be applied as a broadcast or band application. For band applications, use proportionally less spray mixture based on the area actually sprayed so that a full rate is not concentrated into the band. Consult the “Crop Recommendations” section of this label for the rates and procedures that are appropriate for your growing region.
 For best results, avoid applications when weeds are under drought, stress, disease, or insect damage. Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after application may also reduce effectiveness.
 Apply PERMIT WG HERBICIDE uniformly with properly calibrated ground equipment in 100 or more litres of water per hectare. Other water based spray carriers may be used for directed applications, avoiding contact with crop foliage. Select spray volumes that ensure thorough and uniform weed coverage. Choose nozzles which provide optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate pressure (psi). Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps and spray drift during applications.
 Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
 Avoid disturbing (e.g. cultivation) treated areas for at least 7 days following application.
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.
DO NOT apply by air.
Buffer zones:
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.
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, riparian areas and shrublands) and sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands).
