PRODUCT INFORMATION 
AUTHORITY ASSIST is a soluble concentrate formulation. AUTHORITY ASSIST is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer, or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and sprayed for selective preemergence or preplant incorporated weed control. When applied according to the instructions on this label, AUTHORITY ASSIST will control listed broadleaf and sedge weeds and provide grass suppression.
The mode of action of AUTHORITY ASSIST herbicide involves uptake by weed roots and shoots. Preemergence and preplant incorporated applications of AUTHORITY ASSIST herbicide require rainfall or irrigation to activate the herbicide. The amount of rainfall or irrigation required for activation following application depends on existing soil moisture, organic matter content and soil texture. AUTHORITY ASSIST must be activated by 0.5 to 1.0 inch of rainfall or irrigation water or erratic weed control will result. If adequate moisture (1/2" to 1") is not received within 7 to 1 0 days after the AUTHORITY ASSIST treatment, a shallow cultivation may be needed to aid in activation to obtain desired weed control. When sufficient moisture is received after dry conditions, AUTHORITY ASSIST herbicide will provide control of susceptible germinating weeds. Soil applications of AUTHORITY ASSIST must be made before crop seed germination to prevent injury to the emerging crop seedlings. When applications after planting are delayed, injury may occur if seeds are germinating or if they are located near the soil surface (cracking).
AUTHORITY ASSIST herbicide exhibits excellent crop safety. Poor growing conditions, such as excessive mOisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the presence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these conditions, the active ingredients in AUTHORITY ASSIST, like other soil-applied herbicides, can contribute to crop response. However, these early symptoms are short-lived. Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application precautions, replanting directions, rotational crop guidelines and other label infonmation of each product when tank mixing with AUTHORITY ASSIST.

Proper Handling Instructions
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
