PRODUCT INFORMATION
NIMBLE is a water dispersible granular herbicide that is used for selective postemergence weed control in wheat (including durum), barley, oat, triticale and fallow. The best control is obtained when NIMBLE is applied to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate will depend on weed spectrum and size of weed at time of application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
• weed size at application
• environmental conditions at and following treatment. NIMBLE is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile and does not freeze. NIMBLE should be mixed, and completely dispersed in water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray.

RESISTANCE
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action. To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistance weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. See the Weeds Controlled section of this label for additional information on managing herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/ or appropriate state agricultural extension service representatives for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPECIFIC USE - FALLOW
Application Timing
NIMBLE may be used as a fallow treatment, in the spring through the fall when the majority of weeds have emerged and are actively growing.

Use Rate
Apply 0.3 to 0.6 oz NIMBLE per acre to fallow. Two applications of NIMBLE may be made provided the total amount applied does not exceed 1.0 oz per acre per crop season.
NIMBLE should be applied in combination with other suitable registered fallow herbicides such as GLYFOS plus 2,4-D, GLYFOS  or “Roundup” plus dicamba, “Banvel”/” Clarity,” 2,4-D, dicamba, “Banvel” or ”Clarity” (see TANK MIXTURES – FALLOW).
SPECIFIC USE – PRE-PLANT BURNDOWN

Application Timing:
NIMBLE may be used as a as a burndown treatment to wheat (including durum), barley and triticale to control emerged weeds prior to, or shortly after planting (prior to emergence). Make applications when the majority of weeds have emerged and are a actively growing. NIMBLE may also be used as a burndown treatment prior to planting other crops such as soybeans, corn, grain sorghum, rice and cotton. See “CROP ROTATION” for the minimum time interval required before planting other crops. Cotton Precaution: Seedling disease, nematodes, cold weather, deep planting (more than 2”), excessive moisture, high salt concentration, and/or drought may weaken cotton seedling and increase the possibility of crop injury. Cotton resumes normal growth once favorable growing conditions return.

Use Rate
Apply 0.3 to 0.6 oz NIMBLE per acre as a burndown treatment before planting all crops except cotton. Apply 0.3 to 0.5 NIMBLE per acre as a burndown treatment before planting cotton. NIMBLE should be applied in combination with other suitable registered burndown herbicides (see

TANK MIXTURES – PRE-PLANT BURNDOWN).
Sequential treatments of NIMBLE may be made provided the total amount of NIMBLE applied during one fallow/pre-plant cropland season does not exceed 1.0 ounce per acre; for example, 0.5 ounce in the fall followed by 0.5 ounce in the spring.
Use the higher end of the rate range when weed infestation is heavy or predominantly consists of those weeds listed under PARTIAL CONTROL or when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal.
Do not make more than one pre-plant or at-planting application of NIMBLE to field corn, rice, grain sorghum or soybeans per growing season.
DO NOT apply after planting cotton, field corn, grain sorghum or soybeans.

SPECIFIC USE - CEREALS

Application Timing:
NIMBLE may be used for selective postemergence weed control in cereals. Apply NIMBLE when all or most of the weeds have germinated. Annual broadleaf weeds should be past the cotyledon stage, actively growing, and less than 4” tall or wide. Rainfall immediately after treatment can wash NIMBLE off of weed foliage, resulting in reduced weed control. Several hours of dry weather are needed to allow NIMBLE to be sufficiently absorbed by weed foliage. Wheat (Including Durum), Barley, Winter Oat and Triticale - Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage, but before the flag leaf is visible. Spring Oat – Make applications after the crop is in the 3-leaf stage, but before jointing.
Do not use on “Ogle”, “Porter” or “Premier” varieties as crop injury can occur.

Use Rate
Do not use less than 0.3 ounce NIMBLE per acre.
Wheat (including Durum), Barley and Triticale
Apply 0.3 to 0.6 oz NIMBLE per acre to wheat (including durum), barley or triticale. Two applications of NIMBLE may be made provided the total amount applied does not exceed 1.0 oz per acre per crop season. Use 0.3 to 0.4 oz NIMBLE per acre for light infestation of the weeds listed under Weeds Controlled. Conditions at application should be optimum for effective treatment of these weeds. Use 0.5 oz NIMBLE per acre for heavy infestation of the weeds listed under WEEDS SUPPRESSED. Use 0.6 oz NIMBLE per acre for heavy infestation of the weeds listed under WEEDS SUPPRESSED when application timing and environmental conditions are marginal (refer to ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY for best performance).

Oat (Spring and Winter)
Apply 0.3 to 0.4 ounce NIMBLE per acre for control of the weeds listed in the WEEDS CONTROLLED table. Do not make more than one application of NIMBLE per crop season on oat.
