GENERAL INFORMATION

Prominex Herbicide is a postemergence herbicide for the control of hard-to-kill annual and perennial broadleaved weeds such as Canada thistle, chickweed, cleavers, hemp-nettle, kochia, lamb’s-quarters, redroot pigweed and wild buckwheat in spring wheat (including durum), winter wheat, and barley, not underseeded with legumes. Prominex Herbicide is mixed with water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray either by ground or aerial application.
Prominex Herbicide must be applied early postemergence, to the main flush of actively growing broadleaved weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Prominex Herbicide by allowing maximum foliar uptake and activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur.
For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. See DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of this label for complete use details.

MODE OF ACTION

Prominex Herbicide contains systemic auxin-type herbicides which move within the plant for control of plant tissues. Prominex Herbicide controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of weeds include stunting, epinasty (twisting of the stems), chlorosis and swollen nodes.

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) coarse 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) coarse 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.

SPRAY BUFFER ZONES
A spray buffer zone is NOT required for uses with hand-held application equipment on this label.
The spray 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), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.
