DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
Andros 2.0 Herbicide is a selective herbicide which may be applied preplant surface, preemergence and/or postemergence for control or partial control of broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges in cotton, dry beans, snap beans and soybeans.

Preplant Surface and Preemergence Applications
Certain germinating broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges can be controlled or partially controlled by soil residual activity from either preplant surface or preemergence applications of Andros 2.0 Herbicide. Moisture is necessary to activate Andros 2.0 Herbicide in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of Andros 2.0 Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. When adequate moisture is not received after a Andros 2.0 Herbicide application, weed control may be improved by overhead irrigation with at least a 1/4 inch of water.

Postemergence Applications
Andros 2.0 Herbicide is generally most effective when used postemergence, working through contact action. Therefore, emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Best broad-spectrum postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when Andros 2.0 Herbicide is applied early to actively growing weeds.
This usually occurs within 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed control tables for specific recommendations on weed growth stages and rates. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of labeled crop leaves may occur following postemergence applications, but labeled crops soon outgrow these effects and develop normally.

Soil Characteristics
Application of Andros 2.0 Herbicide to soils with high organic matter and/or high clay content may require higher rates than soils with low organic matter and/or low clay content.
Refer to the Andros 2.0 Herbicide Regional Use Map, weed control tables, and specific crop use sections for recommendations on use rates based on soil texture.
Environmental and Agronomic Conditions
Always apply Andros 2.0 Herbicide under favorable environmental conditions that promote active weed growth. Avoid applying Andros 2.0 Herbicide to weeds or labeled crops which are under stress from drought, extreme temperatures, excessive water, low humidity, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may result.

Rainfastness
Andros 2.0 Herbicide requires a 1 hour rain-free period for best results when applied postemergence.

Cultivation
Cultivation prior to postemergence application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weeds under stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying Andros 2.0 Herbicide may assist weed control.

Information on Weed Resistance
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf species with resistance to this herbicide and related products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides, may result in control failures.
If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional treatments with this herbicide or similar mode of action products are not recommended. Consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for assistance.

RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• A maximum of 1.5 pts. of Andros 2.0 Herbicide (or a maximum of 0.375 lb. a.i./Acre of fomesafen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre per year in Region 1 (see Regional Use Map).
• A maximum of 1.5 pts. of Andros 2.0 Herbicide (or a maximum of 0.375 lb. a.i./Acre of fomesafen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre in ALTERNATE years in Region 2 (see Regional Use Map).
• A maximum of 1.25 pts. of Andros 2.0 Herbicide (or a maximum of 0.313 lb. a.i./Acre of fomesafen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre in ALTERNATE years in Region 3 (see Regional Use Map).
• A maximum of 1 pt. of Andros 2.0 Herbicide (or a maximum of 0.25 lb. a.i./Acre of fomesafen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre in ALTERNATE years in Region 4 (see Regional Use Map).
• A maximum of 0.75 pt. of Andros 2.0 Herbicide (or a maximum of 0.1875 lb. a.i./Acre of fomesafen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre in ALTERNATE years in Region 5 (see Regional Use Map).
• Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner before and after each use.
• Tank mixes of Andros 2.0 Herbicide with other pesticides, fertilizers or any other additives except as specified on this label or other approved Rotam supplemental labels may result in tank mix incompatibility, unsatisfactory performance or unsatisfactory crop injury.
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths, as injury may occur to rotational crops.
• To provide adequate coverage, it is recommended that ground speed not exceed 10 mph during application.
• Avoid drift to all other crops and nontarget areas. Crops other than those labeled may be severely injured by drift. Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph.
• Do not make ground or aerial application during temperature inversions.
• Do not use on Potatoes in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York.

Replanting
If replanting is necessary in fields previously treated with Andros 2.0 Herbicide, the field may be replanted to cotton, dry beans, snap beans, soybeans or potatoes. During replanting, a minimum of tillage is recommended to preserve the herbicide barrier for effective weed control. Do not apply a second application of Andros 2.0 Herbicide or other fomesafen containing product as crop injury or illegal residues may occur in harvested crops. If tank mix combinations were used, refer to product labels for any additional replanting instructions.
