PRODUCT INFORMATION

LONGBOW EC, an emulsifiable concentrate formulation, is designed to be combined with water and/or liquid fertilizer and adjuvants. The product can be applied to labeled crops and non-crop areas for selective postemergence control of broadleaf weeds, sucker control, burndown prior to planting, a harvest aid and to defoliate/desiccate labeled crops.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

Nufarm advises the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area. For best results apply to actively growing weeds. LONGBOW EC is a contact herbicide and is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. Evidence of desiccation may be seen within a few hours of application however temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect timing. Moisture may accelerate activity. Efficacy may be reduced when weeds are hardened off by drought and become less susceptible. Avoid application within 6 to 8 hours of rain, irrigation or when heavy dew is present on the crop. Environmental conditions and certain spray tank additives may increase herbicidal symptoms on the crop.

TANK MIXTURES

Tank mix LONGBOW EC with other registered herbicides to control a broader spectrum of weeds. Refer to product’s labels for mixing instructions, precautions, and restrictions and follow the most restrictive instructions for each tank mix partner. When preparing a new tank mix conduct a compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all ingredients in a test container prior to tank mixing with other products. Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for five to ten minutes. If mixture precipitates and fails to re-suspend when shaken this indicates the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied. Provided the jar test shows the mixture to be compatible, prepare the tank mixture as follows: Fill the tank one 9 fourth full with water. With the agitator operating, add the specified 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Mixing and Loading Instructions • Fill the tank with ¾ of the desired volume of clean water and, with agitation, add the appropriate amount of LONGBOW EC.

• While maintaining agitation, fill remaining volume with water.

• Continue agitation keeping 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 LONGBOW EC before mixing them together in the spray tank.)

• It is not advised to hold the spray mixture overnight. If spray solution is stored overnight or longer, completely agitate spray mixture before application. Premixing LONGBOW EC spray solutions in nurse tanks is not advised. Maintain continuous and adequate spray solution agitation until all the spray solution has been used. Do not use with tank additives that alter 10 the pH of the spray solution below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solutions if necessary to maintain the pH between 5-8.
