PRODUCT INFORMATION

Carfentramax is emulsion oil in water formulation. Carfentramax is to be mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops for sucker control, for burndown prior to planting, as a harvest aid and to defoliate/desiccate labeled crops. Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds. Carfentramax is a contact herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation. Extremes in environmental conditions including temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the activity of Carfentramax, symptoms may be accelerated under moist conditions. Weed control may be reduced when weeds are hardened off by drought and become less susceptible to Carfentramax. Carfentramax is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid significant crop response, applications are advised not to be made within 6 to 8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Environmental conditions and with certain spray tank additives may increase herbicidal symptoms on the crop.

TANK MIXTURES

Carfentramax may be tank-mixed with other registered herbicides for controlling broader spectrum weeds. Refer to this and other product’s labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and restrictions. Follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank mix partner. When preparing a new tank mix conduct an appropriate compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar) prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. Rapid precipitation of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and must not be applied. Provided the jar test indicates the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Fill the tank one fourth full with water. With the agitator operating, add the labeled amounts of ingredients using the following order: dry granules first and liquid suspensions (flowables) second. As the agitation continues and the tank is filled with water add emulsifiable concentrate products third followed by the addition of water-soluble products. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

MIXING INFORMATION

Mixing and Loading Instructions Start by filling the tank with ¾ of the desired volume of clean water and, with agitation, add the proper amount of Carfentramax. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired volume. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep materials in solution during both mixing and application and until the spray tank has been emptied. For tank mixtures, follow your local extension guidelines for mixing order. General guidelines are: add dry materials first and agitate until mixed; then EW or water soluble liquids; then EC formulations; then, add adjuvants last. Ensure the compatibility of other products and/or liquid fertilizers with Carfentramax before mixing them together in the spray tank.

Mixing Precautions

Avoid the overnight storage of Carfentramax spray mixtures. If spray solution is stored overnight or longer, thoroughly agitate spray mixture before applying the solution.

Mixing Restrictions

• DO NOT premix Carfentramax spray solutions in nurse tanks. Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used.

• DO NOT use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solution to alter the pH range as appropriate.
