DIRECTIONS FOR USE

MIXING AND SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
It is essential that the sprayer be properly calibrated before making application.
Spray Pressure – 150 to 275 kPa; for lentils, peas, and processing peas use 275 kPa only.
Spray Volume – refer to appropriate crop section for water volume.
Use screens no finer than 0.3 mm (50 mesh) in nozzle and in-line strainers (felt filters, or smaller screens will become clogged). A 16 mesh screen is recommended for the filter on the inlet side of the pump.
Nozzle tips should be no finer than 6502, 8002 or TK 2.
Do not use airblast or other high pressure spray equipment to apply SQUADRON.

VIGOROUS, CONTINUOUS AGITATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR PROPER MIXING THROUGHOUT FILLING AND SPRAYING OPERATIONS.
Return line agitation is not sufficient. Sparge tube, jet or mechanical agitation is required. Agitation should be sufficient to create a rippling or rolling action on the surface. A pump must be of sufficient capacity to provide adequate volume through the by-pass and/or jet agitation system to provide sufficient agitation even while the booms are operating. The sprayer should be checked frequently during application to be sure it is working properly and delivering a uniform spray pattern. Avoid overlaps that will increase dosages above those recommended.

DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Before mixing SQUADRON and its labelled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely clean and free of rust or corrosion. To ensure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides, flush lines with clean water or recommended detergents. Use an approved method for disposing of rinse water.
Refer to the other product label for pertinent recommendations regarding mixing procedures. The proper mixing sequence for SQUADRON and recommended tank mixtures is as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with water.
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application.
3. Add recommended amount of SQUADRON.
4. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products refer to these product labels for specific mixing instructions.
5. Fill the spray tank with water to the desired level.
6. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add these products near end of filling the spray tank.
7. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty.
SQUADRON and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed out immediately. Do not allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect how long the mixture can stand before application.

NOTE: If spraying and agitation is stopped before the spray tank is empty, the suspended material will settle to the bottom of the tank. When spraying must be interrupted, it is recommended to maintain agitation until spraying resumes. If agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, follow these steps to resume spraying:
1. Remove main filter.
2. Mechanically mix spray solution (i.e., paddle) prior to restarting pump. Ensure that loose sediment is moved out to the sump area.
3. Start agitation on full.
4. Paddle corners of the tank.
5. Reinstall main filter.

At the end of each spray day, rinse out the tank and sprayer lines with water.

RE-ENTRY INTERVAL
Do not enter or allow re-entry into treated areas until 12 hours after application. Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, workers may enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.
It is recommended that this product not be applied in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only handlers wearing personal protective equipment may be in the area during application.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, SQUADRON is a Group 5 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to SQUADRON and other Group 5 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 SQUADRON or other Group 5 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 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 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 ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Canada, Ltd. at 1 855-264-6262

SOIL TYPES AND RESTRICTIONS
The recommended use rates of SQUADRON are dependent upon soil texture and organic matter content of the soil being treated. Rate tables in this label refer to the following three soil texture groups: Coarse, medium and fine. If you are not sure how to classify your soil, contact your ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Canada, Ltd. representative, Soils & Crops Advisor, or other knowledgeable person. The following chart includes a complete listing of soil textures included in each of the soil texture groupings:

COARSE: Loamy sand, Sandy loam
MEDIUM: Loam, Silt loam, Silt, Sandy clay loam, Sandy clay
FINE: Silty clay loam, Silty clay, Clay loam, Clay

On variable soils with coarse sandy areas, some crop injury may occur on the sandy areas if the rate used is for the finer soil type.
Sandy loam and silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions.
Do not use this product on MUCK soils. If SQUADRON is applied to MUCK soils, subsequent crops may be injured.
Do not use on coarse soils with less than 2% organic matter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PREPLANT SURFACE OR BURN-DOWN
In conservation tillage, minimum-tillage, ridge-tillage, strip-tillage, or no-tillage crop production systems. SQUADRON alone or in combination with recommended tank mixes may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 30 days before planting. If possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the soil surface during planting, as weed control may be reduced. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move SQUADRON into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate.

PREPLANT INCORPORATION
Refer to the tank-mix partner label for proper incorporation instructions. Avoid deep incorporation since reduced weed control and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which provide uniform, shallow incorporation (example: finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.). a single incorporation is satisfactory, however a second incorporation will generally improve herbicide soil blending and improves weed control (particularly on coarse soils).

PREEMERGENCE APPLICATION
SQUADRON alone, or in the recommended tank mixes, may be applied to the soil surface as a broadcast spray after planting of the crop, but prior to weed or crop emergence. Preemergence application may be made in all tillage systems (conventional, conservation, minimum, ridge, etc.). Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move SQUADRON into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days after application and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1.25 cm deep) will improve performance, minimize crop damage, activate chemical and prevent soil crusting. Dry weather conditions as well as excessive rainfall or irrigation following application may reduce weed control. Do not apply heavy irrigation immediately after application.

EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
Do not tank mix with liquid fertilizers, oils, oil concentrates, or surfactants when applying postemergence because severe crop injury may occur. Do not harvest within 60 days of postemergence application unless otherwise indicated. Thorough spray coverage on weed foliage is essential for adequate control with postemergent applications.

SPLIT APPLICATION (POTATOES ONLY)
If a split application is desired, the chemical may be applied preemergence and postemergence. Avoid soil incorporation. Do not apply more than 1.5 kg/ha total per growing season. Do not harvest within 60 days of postemergence application unless otherwise indicated.

BAND APPLICATION
If a band application is desired, the chemical may be applied preemergence and postemergence as described above by using proportionally less SQUADRON per hectare. Weeds between treated bands should be removed by cultivating, as needed, using protective fenders to keep freshly turned soil off treated bands.
Band width in centimetres x Broadcast rate/ha = Band rate/ha
Row width in centimetre 

SOYBEANS
EASTERN CANADA

Apply specified dosage as preemergence broadcast spray in 150 to 300 L of water per hectare and as preplant incorporated in at least 100 L of water per hectare. Applications of SQUADRON made at rates above those recommended may result in burning, yellowing or stunting of the crop. If heavy rains occur soon after application, plant injury may result, especially in poorly drained areas where water may stand for several days. Soybean seeds must be planted at least 4 cm below the soil surface. VARIETIES: Do not use SQUADRON on AC Brant, Apache, Baron, Eramosa, Maple Amber, Maple Ridge, IA 1003 or S- 240. Consult your ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Canada, Ltd. representative, chemical dealer, or your seed supplier for information on the tolerance of soybean varieties, prior to SQUADRON use. 
DO NOT USE SQUADRON ON SANDY SOILS OR ON COARSE SOILS WITH LESS THAN 2% ORGANIC MATTER. Do not apply more than once per season regardless of method of application.

(1) In NO or MINIMUM TILLAGE, under adverse conditions (drought), and for improved burndown of small emerged annual weeds, the following additives may be applied with the recommended treatments:
crop oil concentrate (Assist) at 1% v/v
non-ionic surfactant at 0.1% v/v
crop oil, 28-0-0, or 10-34-0 at 5% v/v (only for tank mixtures with the herbicides Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum +/- glyphosate Herbicide)
(2) The rate of SQUADRON depends on soil organic matter levels. See rates for SQUADRON alone.
(3) When broadleaf weed populations are low, rates of SQUADRON may be reduced by 25%.
(4) In NO or MINIMUM TILLAGE, DO NOT USE this tank mixture on coarse soils.
(5) Use the higher rate when weeds are dense and/or soils with high organic matter (over 4%) and at the heavy end of the soil texture class.
(6) Including nightshade: Eastern black nightshade and American nightshade are controlled with tank mixture including Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum only.
(7) Within the application rate range, use the higher rate of SQUADRON and Broadstrike Dual Herbicide only if there is a combination of the following: heavy plant residues on soil surface, heavy weed pressure, and soil of more than 4% organic matter
(8) Except tank mixtures that include Axiom DF Herbicide or Frontier Herbicide.
(9) Some perennial weeds, such as quackgrass, may not be controlled with these rates of Roundup, Touchdown, Glyfos, Credit, or Vantage. Consult the Roundup, Touchdown, Glyfos, Credit, Vantage or Renegade herbicide labels regarding perennial weeds controlled.
(10) Apply this tank mixture after planting, but no later than 3 days prior to crop emergence.

 

POTATOES
EASTERN CANADA, COASTAL BRITISH COLUMBIA, AND UNDER IRRIGATED CONDITIONS IN ALBERTA

Apply specified dosage in 100 to 300 L of water per hectare, depending on equipment and local practices. Do not use on the varieties Belleisle or Tobique. Consult your chemical dealer or your seed supplier for information on the tolerance of newly released potato varieties, prior to SQUADRON use. Do not harvest within 60 days of application. If a hilling is done before emergence, allow time for the soil to settle or crust before application. This will help reduce loose treated soil from moving off the hill to the bottom of the trench and leaving untreated areas on the side of the hills. For best results it is also recommended that hilling following application be delayed as long as possible before foliage fills in the rows. Supplemental row cultivation on potatoes may also be helpful to improve weed control. The higher rates are recommended for longer season potatoes or where longer control is required and where weed infestations are heavy.

SQUADRON IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER HERBICIDES
Refer to the other product label for pertinent recommendations, directions for use, restrictions, precautions, and any additional weeds not specified on this label. Unless prohibited on this or other product labels, apply as a broadcast or band application.

(1) Apply immediately after planting or after hilling. Avoid soil incorporation. If a hilling is done before emergence, allow time for the soil to settle or crust before application. This will help reduce loose treated soil from moving off the hill to the bottom of the trench and leaving untreated areas on the sides of the hills. For best results it is also recommended that hilling following application be delayed as long as possible before foliage fills the rows.
(2) Do not use tank mixes with Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum on the variety Superior or on sandy or coarse textured soils low in organic matter. Do not apply tank mixes with Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum at ground crack or if potatoes have emerged. Do not use tank mixes with Dual Magnum or Dual II Magnum on muck, peat or high organic matter soils.
(3) The 560 g/ha rate of SQUADRON has provided effective annual broadleaf weed control in full season potatoes in Atlantic Canada. Higher rates are recommended for longer season potatoes or where longer control is required and where weed infestations are heavy.

(1) Apply specified dosage per hectare as a broadcast postemergence spray over the tops of potatoes when they are less than 10 cm high. Not all potato varieties have been tested for tolerance to SQUADRON. Some potato varieties (such as early maturing, red-skinned, Atlantic, Eramosa, Shepody) can be sensitive to and injured by an application of SQUADRON (such as yellowing/necrosis of leaf veins or leaf margins, stunting, and possible delay in harvest). First use of SQUADRON on a potato variety must be limited to a small test area to ensure risk or level of potential injury is acceptable to the grower prior to adoption as a general field practice. Sensitivity to or injury after a postemergent application of SQUADRON is typically visible in the test area within 5 days after application. Temporary yellowing or leaf burn may occur, especially if crop is under stress from poor growing conditions such as periods of cool, wet, and cloudy weather. Avoid postemergence application under these conditions.
(2) Spray before weeds are 4 cm high. Use high rates for grasses or dense broadleaf weeds.
(3) Do not harvest within 90 days of application.
(4) Apply to actively growing annual grasses at the full 2-leaf to 5-leaf stages. For green and yellow foxtail, apply at full 2-leaf to 4-leaf stage.
(5) Apply to actively growing plants that have 3 to 5 fully developed leaves.

TRANSPLANTED TOMATOES (GROWN FOR PROCESSING ONLY)
EASTERN CANADA

Apply specified dosage in 150 to 300 L of water per hectare, depending on equipment and local practices.
Do not apply to direct seeded tomatoes. Do not apply more than a total of 1.0 kg/ha of SQUADRON to COARSE SOILS, 1.5 kg/ha to MEDIUM SOILS, or 1.8 kg/ha to FINE SOILS per crop season. Do not apply the above mentioned total amounts of SQUADRON for each soil type within a time span of less than 35 days. Allow at least 14 days between applications. Avoid application when tomatoes are under stress. Crop injury or delayed maturity may result from postemergence applications if tomatoes are growing under stress conditions such as periods of drought, flooding, or cool, wet or cloudy weather before application or at time of application. Stress can be expected if temperatures have been below 15°C or above 30°C. Three days of sunny weather should follow cloudy, cool weather before spraying SQUADRON postemergence. Varieties differ in tolerance to SQUADRON. Newly introduced varieties with unknown tolerance to SQUADRON should only be treated in a small test area to determine tolerance.

SQUADRON IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER HERBICIDES

NOTE: For best season long control of annual grasses and annual broadleaf weeds apply a tank mix of SQUADRON with Treflan E.C. Herbicide and preplant incorporate into the soil before transplanting tomatoes. Then follow up with a directed postemergence application of SQUADRON when weed escapes are less than 2.5 cm in height and transplants are well established (3 weeks after transplanting).
Transplants must have recovered from transplant shock and new growth should be evident. This follow up SQUADRON application is usually timed for early July but should not be applied any earlier than 21 days after transplanting tomatoes or no later than 60 days before harvest. SQUADRON spray should be directed onto any emerged weeds in a manner to minimize application to crop plants. The total rate of two applications of SQUADRON should not exceed the maximum total of SQUADRON for each soil type.
Do not mix or apply other pesticides to tomatoes within 24 hours of SQUADRON application. If weed pressure is light to medium, it may not be necessary to apply SQUADRON twice. Shallow cultivation may also be used to complete the control of any weeds not normally controlled by SQUADRON.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS and USE LIMITATIONS
Apply specified dosage as a banded spray to the soil surface directed to the base of blueberry bushes in a spray volume of 150–300 L water/ha.
Apply preemergence to the weeds.
Do not apply more than once per season.
Do not use on soils with less than 2% organic matter.
Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move SQUADRON into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate.
DO NOT apply if heavy rainfall (more than 1") is expected shortly after application.
DO NOT apply excessive irrigation (more than 1") after application.
If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days after application and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1.25 cm deep) will improve performance, minimize crop damage, activate chemical and prevent soil crusting.
Dry weather conditions as well as excessive rainfall or irrigation following application may reduce weed control.
Weeds between treated bands should be removed by cultivating, as needed, using protective fenders to keep freshly turned soil off treated bands

SOIL TYPES AND RESTRICTIONS
The recommended use rates of SQUADRON are dependent upon soil texture and organic matter content of the soil being treated. Rate tables in this label refer to the following three soil texture groups: coarse, medium, and fine. If you are not sure how to classify your soil, contact your ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Canada, Ltd. representative, Soils & Crops Advisor, or other knowledgeable person. The following chart includes a complete listing of soil textures included in each of the soil texture groupings:

COARSE: Loamy sand, Sandy loam
MEDIUM: Loam, Silt loam, Silt, Sandy clay loam, Sandy clay
FINE: Silty clay loam, Silty clay, Clay loam, Clay

On variable soils with coarse sandy areas, some crop injury may occur on the sandy areas if the rate used
is for the finer soil type. Sandy loam and silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified
as medium textured soils in some regions. Do not use this product on MUCK soils. If SQUADRON is
applied to MUCK soils, subsequent crops may be injured. Do not use on coarse soils with less than 2%
organic matter.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PREPLANT INCORPORATION (FALL AND SPRING APPLICATIONS)

Cultivate to destroy existing weeds before SQUADRON plus tank-mix partner application. When applying to stubble field, chop and thoroughly mix crop residue into soil to a depth of 10–15 cm. Disc type implements provide the best results. To avoid concentration of wild oat seed below the treated layer, do not plow (moldboard).

SQUADRON tank mixes may be applied as a broadcast spray and incorporated into the soil in two different directions (see table below for specific instructions).

SQUADRON in combination with recommended tank mix may be applied in the spring or the fall. First incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. For fall application, the second incorporation may be done in the spring at the time of seedbed preparation. It is preferred to do both incorporations in the fall followed by shallow tillage (disc or vibrashank cultivator operated at 5–8 cm deep) in the spring prior to planting.

Incorporation with implements set to cut less than 8 cm deep or more than 10 cm deep may result in erratic weed control or crop damage.

Uneven application or improper incorporation of SQUADRON and tank-mix partner can result in erratic weed control or crop injury depending on rate used.

Stress conditions such as seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or drought may weaken seedlings and increase the possibility of crop damage from the herbicides. Temporary lightening in colour may occur on the margin of leaves or cotyledons and a slight delay in crop development may be observed. This is quickly outgrown and usually has no lasting effect.

IMPLEMENT: Tandem disk or discer
WORKING DEPTH: 8–10 cm
TRACTOR SPEED: 7–10 km/hr.
REMARKS: Preferred on stubble

IMPLEMENT: Vibrashank cultivator
WORKING DEPTH: 8–10 cm
TRACTOR SPEED: 10–13 km/hr.
REMARKS: Do not use if soil is crusted, lumpy, or too wet for good mixing action.

NOT RECOMENDED IMPLEMENTS: 
Deep tillage cultivator, Rod weeder, Harrows, Chisel plow, Hoe drills

POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
Crop must be planted at least 5 cm below the soil surface. Do not use in crop underseeded with forage. Do not apply more than once per season. Do not tank mix with other pesticides, wetting agents, or surfactants. To improve coverage the spray boom may be rotated forward by 45°. Activity on weeds may not be noticeable for 7 to 10 days after application. SQUADRON may be applied when crop is wet with dew, but weed control may be reduced if there is rainfall within 6 hours after application. Temporary (7– 10 days) lightening in crop colour and occasional slight reduction in crop height may be observed, especially if frost or abnormally high temperatures occur within 1 to 2 days of application. If frost occurs, allow 4 to 5 days for crop to recover before applying SQUADRON. Activity on weeds and crop tolerance may be reduced if SQUADRON is applied later than specified crop stages. Allow a 4 to 5 day interval between application of SQUADRON and other pesticides such as wild oat herbicides.

SPRING BARLEY and SPRING WHEAT
WESTERN CANADA

Apply specified dosage as postemergence broadcast spray in 80 to 100 L of water per hectare. Do not graze or feed treated crop to livestock within 30 days of application. Do not harvest for grain within 60 days of application. Do not use on soils containing less than 3% organic matter. Application made before heavy rainfall or irrigation (3 cm or more) on these low organic matter soils may cause crop injury ranging from leaf burn to stand reduction. Use higher rate on barley for the best residual control of chickweed and hempnettle or when weed infestation is dense.

DRYLAND WINTER WHEAT
WESTERN CANADA

Use on Norstar variety only. Apply specified dosage as postemergence broadcast spray in at least 100 L of water per hectare in late fall (October or November). Apply after the crop has commenced tillering and initiated development of secondary roots. This is usually after the 3-leaf stage. To achieve this stage, the wheat would normally need to be planted no later than September 15th. Crop injury may occur if secondary roots have not developed at time of application. Before applying SQUADRON, examine plants to determine if secondary rooting has occurred, even though plants have tillered. For best results, apply before weeds are 3 cm tall or have 3 cm rosettes. Do not apply on irrigated wheat as crop injury may occur. Do not tank mix SQUADRON with other pesticides or liquid fertilizers. Activities on weeds may not be noticeable until the following spring when growth starts. Do not plant any crop for at least 12 months after application. Weed control may be reduced if winter wheat is planted into unworked spring wheat stubble. Temporary chlorosis may occur after application of SQUADRON to winter wheat, especially if heavy frost occurs.

PRODUCTS: 
SQUADRON 
RATE PER HECTARE: 
375 g

(1) Not all potato varieties have been tested for tolerance to SQUADRON. Some potato varieties (such as early maturing, red-skinned, Atlantic, Eramosa) can be sensitive to and injured by an application of SQUADRON (such as yellowing/necrosis of leaf veins or leaf margins, stunting, and possible delay in harvest). First use of SQUADRON on a potato variety must be limited to a small test area to ensure risk or level of potential injury is acceptable to the grower prior to adoption as a general field practice. Sensitivity to or injury after a postemergent application of SQUADRON is typically visible in the test area within 5 days after application.

POTATOES–SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION
MANITOBA, SASKATCHEWAN, ALBERTA, AND INTERIOR BRITISH COLUMBIA

SQUADRON and Eptam 8-E Herbicide are recommended for application preemergence through sprinkler irrigation equipment to potatoes as directed on this label. Refer to the crop sections of this label for recommended rates, weeds controlled or suppressed, restrictions and special precautions.
Apply this product only through sprinkler (including centre pivot, lateral move, or solid set) irrigation systems, equipped with low pressure nozzles. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water.

CALIBRATION: (Centre Pivot and Self-Propelled Lateral Move Systems)

Sprinkler irrigation systems must deliver a uniform application of water and be accurately calibrated for application of SQUADRON. Greater accuracy in calibration (and distribution) will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of more dilute mixture of product and water per hour. Follow the steps below to calibrate centre pivot and lateral move systems:
1. Determine number of minutes required to make one complete revolution while applying 6 to 19 mm of water per hectare.
2. With the system at operating pressure determine the exact number of minutes required to inject 3.8 litres of water.
3. Divide the time required for one revolution (step 1) by the time required to inject 3.8 litres (step 2) and multiply by 3.8. This gives total litres of product–water mixture to be added to nurse tank.
4. Add required amount of water to nurse tank and start the agitation system. Then add sufficient SQUADRON at the recommended rate (See RECOMMENDED BROADCAST APPLICATION) to the nurse tank.

EXAMPLE: If 20 hours (1200 minutes) were required for one revolution and if 2 minutes were required to inject 3.8 litres then a total of 2280 litres of product–water mixture are required [(1200 ÷ 2) x 3.8 = 2280]; to treat 55 ha at 0.75 kg/ha, 41.25 kg of SQUADRON is required.

Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water system are in place. A person knowledgeable of the irrigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favours drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during the herbicide application, sufficient to
keep the herbicide in suspension.
Application of more than the quantity of irrigation water recommended on this label may result in decreased product performance by removing the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To insure that all lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, an indicator dye may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period.
Use a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide for injection. The use of a larger volume of water will insure greater accuracy and more uniform distribution. The run off water (tail water) from sprinkler irrigation should be recirculated.

SQUADRON Plus Eptam 8-E Tank Mix(1): Preemergence Through Sprinkler Irrigation System:

WEEDS CONTROLLED: Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds
PRODUCTS: 
SQUADRON plus Eptam 8-E
RATE PER HECTARE: 
SQUADRON: 375-750 g
Eptam 8-E: 4.25-5.5 L
REMARKS: PREEMERGENCE IN SPRINKLER IRRIGATION: Apply specified dosage in 8 to 19 mm of water per hectare as a continuous injection in centre pivot systems, or in the last 15 to 30 minutes of set in permanent solid set sprinkler systems or self-propelled wheel move systems. On sandy soil apply in 8 to 12 mm of water and use the lower rate of SQUADRON and Eptam 8-E Herbicide. Apply preemergence to crop and weeds. Use the higher rate for control of grass weeds or when broadleaf weeds are dense. Do not harvest within 60 days of application.

(1) Do not use on the varieties Belleisle or Tobique.
