PRODUCT INFORMATION
VENTURE L Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of a broad range of annual and perennial grasses in broadleaf crops.
VENTURE L Herbicide does not control broadleaf weeds, fescue and bluegrass species or sedges including nutsedge.
VENTURE L is a systemic herbicide which is translocated from the treated foliage to the growing points of leaves, shoots, roots or rhizomes.
Although the growth of grasses ceases soon after application, the process of killing the foliage, rhizomes and the entire plant may take up to several weeks. VENTURE L Herbicide activity is not affected by rainfall if it commences two hours after application. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
VENTURE L Herbicide is to be used only on the crops listed on label. A plantback interval of 12 months is required for all crops other than those listed on the VENTURE L Herbicide label.
DO NOT use in greenhouses.
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 cleasning of equipment of 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) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply by air.

VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L TANK MIX IN CANOLA, FLAX AND SOYBEANS
A tank mix combination of VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L may be used at lower rates of each product than either product used alone to control annual grasses including wild oat, green foxtail, volunteer spring wheat and volunteer spring barley in canola, flax and soybean.
Weed Timing: The VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L tank mix will control green foxtail at a wider window of growth stages than VENTURE L Herbicide alone. Apply when the green foxtail is in the 2 to 5 (total leaves on main shoot plus tillers) leaf stage. Refer to the TIME OF APPLICATION under the DIRECTIONS FOR USE on this label for the proper timing for wild oat, volunteer spring wheat and volunteer spring barley. Application made to annual grasses that have tillered and are under moisture and/or temperature stress will not provide acceptable control.
Canola, Flax and Soybeans: Use 0.40 L/ha of VENTURE L Herbicide tank mixed with 0.54 L/ha of Sethoxydim 184 g/L. For 40 hectares, this is approximately 16 L (2 x 8 L) of VENTURE L and 21.6 L (2.5 x 8.9 L) of Sethoxydim 184 g/L. One of the adjuvants, Merge, Assist or Charge, must be added to the spray solution as directed in the ADJUVANTS section below. See MIXING INSTRUCTIONS and SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS sections.
Reduced Rates of VENTURE L Herbicide and Sethoxydim 184 g/L in Canola: In vigorous stands of Canola and Triazine Tolerant Canola, a reduced rate of VENTURE L Herbicide (0.32 L/ha) and Sethoxydim 184 g/L (0.43 L/ha) may be used when the infestations of wild oats, green foxtail, volunteer wheat and volunteer barley are light to moderate. For 50 hectares, this is approximately 16 L (2 x 8 L) of VENTURE L Herbicide and 21.6 L (2.5 x 8.9 L) of Sethoxydim 184 g/L. One of the adjuvants, Merge, Assist or Charge, must be added to the spray solution as directed in the ADJUVANTS section below.
BROADLEAF WEEDS: VENTURE L Herbicide or VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L tank mix will not control broadleaf weeds. Therefore, a recommended herbicide for control of broadleaf weeds should be applied separately unless a tank mix is otherwise recommended on this label. Do not apply VENTURE L Herbicide following a broadleaf postemergent herbicide. Where VENTURE L is to be used in sequence with a postemergent broadleaf herbicide, other than Muster, apply VENTURE L first and wait at least 3 days before applying the other herbicide. Where Muster is to be used in sequence with VENTURE L Herbicide, apply Muster first and wait at least 4 days before applying VENTURE L Herbicide; this sequence will avoid crop injury. Consult the other product labels for application and precautionary statements.

VENTURE L Herbicide TANK MIXED WITH BROADLEAF HERBICIDES
1. Read and strictly follow the precautions and use directions on the label of the broadleaf weed herbicide to be used.
2. Rates of use and timing of application should be as indicated on each product label in the tank mix.
3. Timing of the application to grass weeds should coincide with the optimum treatment stage of both the grass and broadleaf weeds as indicated on each product label or else control may be lessened.
4. See MIXING INSTRUCTIONS, ADJUVANTS and SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS sections.

Avoid spraying flax in hot, humid conditions or crop injury may result. Tank mixes of Buctril M or MCPA Ester may often antagonize the activity of VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L. The following adjuvant or adjuvant combinations, Merge, Assist + Merge, Charge + Merge, must be used as directed in the ADJUVANTS section below.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS (For all tank mixes as directed): Thoroughly clean the sprayer by flushing the system with water containing detergent. Fill the tank about half full of clean water and start the agitation system.
Add the required amount of VENTURE L Herbicide and agitate for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the required amount of Sethoxydim 184 g/L (when used) and continue agitation for 2 to 3 minutes. Next add the broadleaf weed herbicide, except for Muster or Ally.
For Muster or Ally, add the required amount and agitate for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then add the required amount of VENTURE L Herbicide or VENTURE L Herbicide + Sethoxydim 184 g/L and continue agitation for 2 to 3 minutes.
Lastly, add the adjuvant Merge or one of the adjuvant combinations Assist + Merge or Charge + Merge as directed in the ADJUVANTS section. Continue to agitate and fill the rest of the tank with clean water.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS: A sprayer equipped with standard flat fan nozzles is recommended. Nozzles may be angled forward 45o to enhance spray coverage on weeds. The use of flood jet or hollow cone nozzles is not recommended because of uneven and inadequate spray coverage. Ensure thorough and uniform coverage of the entire leaf area of the target plants. Apply VENTURE L Herbicide and tank mixtures in 50 to 200 L of water per hectare and use a pressure of 200 to 300 kPa. Higher pressures (up to 425 kPa) are recommended for applications to dense weed infestations or to dense crop canopies to ensure thorough coverage. When band spraying, use a proportionately smaller sprayer volume per hectare. Use ground sprayers only.
