Also provides suppression of several annual broadleaved weeds.

STORAGE
Keep Fortress herbicide bag closed to prevent spills and contamination. Avoid contamination of seed, feed and foodstuffs.

DISPOSAL
1. Triple- or pressure-rinse the empty container. Add the rinsings to the spray mixture in the tank.
2. Follow the provincial instruction for any required additional cleaning of the container prior to its disposal.
3. Make the empty container unsuitable for further use.
4. Dispose the container in accordance with provincial requirements.
5. For information on the disposal of unused, unwanted product, contact the manufacturer or the provincial regulatory agency. Contact the manufacturer and the Provincial Regulatory Agency in case of a spill, and for the cleanup of spills.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This granular herbicide is recommended for wild oat and wild millet (green and yellow foxtail) control in spring and durum wheat, spring barley, rapeseed (including canola), flax (not including low linolenic acid varieties) and mustard only.
This product will also provide suppression of the following annual broadleaved weed species: lamb’s quarters, kochia, redroot pigweed, Russian thistle and wild buckwheat. Other crops should not be treated with this product as injury may occur.
This product should be applied according to the recommendations on this label. See the "Directions For Use" section for additional information.
Application equipment must be properly calibrated. Application of an excessive rate of granular Fortress herbicide may injure the crop, whereas application of too low a rate may result in poor weed control. Before applying this product, be sure the soil is in good working condition. Clay soils may require additional tillage to obtain good tilth. Application to a field which is wet, lumpy, rough or ridged will result in reduced weed control and promote crop thinning. See the "Field Preparation" section for additional information.
The initial incorporation of this product into the soil must be completed within 24 hours after application, except for the Fall surface treatment. For Fall surface guidelines, see the “Fall Treatment (surface)” section of this label. The incorporation should not be deeper than 5 cm as deeper incorporation tends to dilute the product, thus decreasing weed control and increasing the risk of crop injury. See the "How To Incorporate" section for additional information.
When using granular Fortress herbicide, an untreated strip should be left for proof of results. Wild oat control may be evaluated by removing a surface 2.5 to 5 cm of soil at the time of germination to inspect the number of wild oats that were killed before emergence. This product is primarily absorbed by wild oat shoots from the treated layer of the soil. Wild oats are usually controlled before they emerge through the soil. Occasionally, and particularly under dry conditions and/or cool soil temperatures, some wild oats may emerge and reach the 3 to 4 leaf stage before dying. Wild Millet seedlings will generally be controlled as they germinate.
Rainfall of at least 1.5 cm within 2 weeks after seeding in the spring is required to ensure maximum performance.
Under conditions of prolonged cool soil temperatures at the time of germination, or extreme drought in spring, this product may not maintain the usual high standard of weed control.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DO NOT apply more than one application per year.
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
Discard clothing or other absorbent materials that have been heavily contaminated with the product. DO NOT reuse them.
Users should remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands), estuaries and marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
To minimize the release of trifluralin into the environment due to volatilization, trifluralin should only be applied on cool mornings and evenings when air temperatures are 15 C or lower. To further reduce volatilization to the atmosphere, incorporation into the soil should occur concurrently with application.
This product can be applied prior to the seeding of Spring and Durum wheat, spring barley, rapeseed (including canola), mustard and flax (not including low linolenic acid varieties).
