DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Cautions:
Do not apply to Tame Oats as crop damage will occur.
Durum Wheat: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. This condition is temporary and should not affect yield. This injury is more likely to occur when PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not tank mixed or when applied past the recommended leaf stage. Early application is important to maintain crop safety.
Spring Barley: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. Such injury symptoms are more frequent and often more pronounced in Spring Barley than in Durum Wheat. This injury is most likely to occur when PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not tank mixed or when applications are made under certain stress conditions, such as cold and moist conditions or when applications are made past the 6 leaf, 3 tiller stage. Applications of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide on Spring Barley should be avoided 2-3 days prior to or following cold temperatures (3C or lower).
Do not apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to any field more often than once per year.
Rates:
1. For control of Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail and Barnyard Grass, apply PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide at 1.02 L/ha.
2. Under low Wild Oat infestations, and when applying PUMA ADVANCE EC Herbicide alone in Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat, apply PUMA ADVANCE EC Herbicide at 890 mL/ha.
3. For Green Foxtail control only, apply PUMA ADVANCE EC Herbicide at 510 mL/ha.
Timing:
Apply to emerged, actively growing weeds, according to the weed stages listed.
Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, early application will result in improved grassy weed control.
If application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide is not possible due to uneven weed germination, or differential germination of weeds and crops, consult your local weed specialist or the provincial weed control recommendations for the best alternate method of weed control.
If another pesticide has already been applied, wait 7 days before applying PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide, or following application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide, a 4 day interval is required before applying another pesticide, except for those recommended on this label.
Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled.
Note: Treatment at the 3-4 leaf stage of crops and weeds usually combines maximum crop tolerance and weed susceptibility. Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, earlier application will result in improved grassy weed control.
Cautions:
Application beyond the 6 leaf stage in Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat or Spring Barley may result in injury.
Application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide must take place within the leaf stages outlined for all weeds on this label. Late application will result in reduced weed control.
During periods of stress, plants are not actively growing. When daytime temperatures before or after application are very hot, combined with very dry conditions and low humidity, plants are under stress. Application of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide during these periods may result in reduced weed control (and/or crop injury).
Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by severe weather conditions, frost, low fertility, drought, water-saturated soil, disease or insect damage, as crop injury may result.

TANK MIXES
For control of Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail, Barnyard Grass and broadleaf weeds, PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide can be tank mixed with the following tank mix partners. Always read and follow the use directions, environmental restrictions and use precautions on the PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide label, and the label of the product(s) being applied with PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide and follow the more stringent of the two.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that the spray tank, lines and filter are thoroughly clean.
2. Fill the tank half-full with clean water and start agitation or bypass system.
3. If a tank mix partner is to be used, refer to the sections on tank mix combinations with PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide. Add the tank mix partner FIRST prior to adding PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide.
4. Slowly add the correct amount of PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide to the spray tank. Agitate thoroughly.
5. Triple rinse the emptied containers into the spray tank.
6. Add the remaining amount of water while agitation continues. Spray out immediately. Spray mixture should not be left in tank overnight.
7. When mixing second and subsequent tank-fulls, ensure that the tank is half-full of clean water prior to adding herbicide, and follow steps 2-6.
8. Thoroughly clean nozzles, screens and the spray tank by flushing with a water/detergent mixture after using PUMA ADVANCE Herbicide or before using any other pesticide.
9. Do not tank mix with any other chemical additives, pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers unless recommended on this label.
