PRODUCT INFORMATION
Broadhead Herbicide is for selective control of susceptible grasses and broadleaf weeds in dry seeded and water-seeded rice production. Broadhead Herbicide is to be mixed with adjuvants and other herbicides applied to rice. Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively growing weeds up to 4 inches in height under favorable environmental conditions. Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity; and soil conditions such as soil type and mOisture; and cultural practices may affect the activity of Broadhead Herbicide. When Broadhead Herbicide is applied to the soil, soil moisture is essential, as well as for residual activity for foliar applications. Do not let fields to become dry. If fields do become dry, flush irrigate fields to reactivate Broadhead Herbicide before weeds are 1 inch tall.

Mixing and Loading Instructions
Fill the tank one-third (1/3) full with water. Start the agitation. Different formulation types should be added in the following order: dry flowables(OF), wettable powders (WP), aqueous suspensions (AS), flowables (F), liquids (L), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and spray adjuvants. Allow each product type to completely disperse before adding another. Continue agitation and fill tank to three-fourths (3/4) full, add the correct quantity of Broadhead Herbicide and mix thoroughly. Finally, add any solution (S) formulations or spray adjuvant, agitate and finishfilling. Maintain agitation during filling and during application. If spraying and agitation must be stopped before the tank is empty,suspended materials may settle to the bottom. It is important to resuspend all of the settled material before continuing application. Carefully follow all mixing instructions for each material added to the tank. Initial dispersion of dry or flowable formulations can be improvedby mixing with a small amount of water (slurrying) and pouring the slurry through a 20 to 35 mesh wetting screen in the top of the spray tank. Line screens in the tank should be no finer than 50 mesh (100 mesh is finer than 50 mesh).
Make sure Broadhead Herbicide is thoroughly mixed before application or before adding another product to the spray tank.
Use the Broadhead Herbicide spray mixture immediately after mixing.
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time with the Broadhead Herbicide spray mixture remaining in the tank.
Do not premix Broadhead Herbicide spray solutions in nurse tanks.
If Broadhead Herbicide is tank mixed with other herbicides, all additional directions, restrictions and precautions for the tank mixture herbicides must be followed.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Some weeds are known to develop resistance to herbicides that have been used. repeatedly. While the development of herbicide resistance is well understood, it is not easily predicted. Therefore herbicides should be used in conjunction with the resistance management strategies in the area. Consult the local or State agricultural advisors for details. If herbicide resistance should develop in the area, this product used alone may not continue to provide sufficient levels of weed control. If the reduced levels of control cannot be attributed to improper application techniques, improper use rates, improper application timing, unfavorable weather conditions or abnormally high weed pressure, a resistant strain of weeds may have developed. To reduce the potential for weed resistance use this product in a rotation program with other classes of chemistry and modes of action. Always apply this product at the listed rates and in accordance with the use directions. Do not use less than listed label rates alone or in tank mixtures. Do not use reduced rates of the tank mix partner. For optimum performance, scout fields carefully and begin applications when weeds are smaller rather than larger. If resistance is suspected, contact the local or State agricultural advisors.
