PRODUCT INFORMATION
SLAM’R Herbicide is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide 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 SLAM’R Herbicide on barley, as crop injury will occur. Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment except under conditions specified on this label.
SLAM’R 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 SLAM’R Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds, SLAM’R 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 SLAM’R HERBICIDE WITH BROADLEAF WEED HERBICIDES, INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES” and refer to the appropriate Tank Mix section for ground and aerial application.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
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.
When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe regions of use specified on the most restrictive labels, and the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture.
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to: heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay.)
Avoid application of this product when heavy rain is forecast.
Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
CROPS: Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat
SLAM’R 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 SLAM’R 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.

Resistance-Management Recommendations
For resistance management, SLAM’R Herbicide is a Group 1 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to SLAM’R 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 SLAM’R Herbicide or other Group 1 herbicides within a growing season (sequence) or among growing seasons 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 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 or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact company representatives at 1-800-438-6071.
