For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

OSPREY Xtra Herbicide:

• Is intended for application as a foliar spray in fall-sown or winter wheat or fall-sown triticale for the control of annual grass and broadleaf weeds. Best weed control is obtained when OSPREY Xtra Herbicide is applied to young actively growing weeds in vigorously growing fall sown or winter wheat that will shade competitive weeds.

• Is absorbed through the foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting growth of susceptible weeds. Visual symptoms progress from yellowing to necrosis of the growing point and eventual plant death. Abnormal environmental conditions (excess soil moisture or drought, extreme cold weather) can influence crop tolerance and herbicidal activity and may cause temporary damage to the crop or reduce levels of weed control. This may result in weed stunting, rather than weed death. However, weed competition will be greatly reduced, and should permit normal crop development. Crop response may occur when frost occurs shortly after application to actively growing wheat.

• Is rainfast 4 hours after application to most weed species. Rainfall within 4 hours may result in reduced weed control.

USE RESTRICTIONS

• Do not apply OSPREY Xtra Herbicide to crops under sown with grass and legume species.

• Do not apply when wind causes drift to off-site vegetation as injury may occur. Small amounts of OSPREY Xtra Herbicide via drift or tank contamination can cause severe damage to crops other than wheat. Careful management of spray drift and tank cleanout is required.

• Buffer restrictions: A 25 foot buffer for ground applications, or a 200 foot buffer for aerial applications, must be maintained between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrub lands), sensitive freshwater habitats (including lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

• Do not apply in combination with Dicamba containing products as grass control will be reduced.

• Do not apply OSPREY Xtra Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.

• Do not drain or rinse equipment near desirable vegetation.

• Do not harvest wheat for grain or straw within 60 days after application in Montana, North Dakota, or South Dakota; and within 70 days in all other states.

• Do not apply OSPREY Xtra Herbicide within 30 days of harvesting or grazing wheat or triticale forage, and 60 days for hay, grain, and straw.

• Do not apply OSPREY Xtra Herbicide in tank mixture with malathion, mancozeb, Di-Syston or methyl parathion as unacceptable crop phytotoxicity may occur.

• Only make applications of OSPREY Xtra Herbicide in California from emergence to 2-tiller wheat (Feekes 5).

• Do not apply more than 0.053 pounds of mefenpyr-diethyl per acre per year.

• Do not make more than one application of OSPREY Xtra Herbicide per year.

• Do not apply more than 4.75 oz/acre of OSPREY Xtra Herbicide in one fall sown or winter wheat or fall sown triticale growing season. Refer to the specific use directions and restrictions in each Crop Subgroup table.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. The use of nozzles and spray pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572.1 are highly recommended for optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. Do not use flood-jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, or cone nozzles. Use of certain nozzle types, as described in the Spray Drift section of this label, may result in reduced coverage and weed control.

Ground Application

OSPREY Xtra Herbicide can be applied broadcast in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. For weed control in dense weed canopies, use 15 or more gallons of water per acre. Weed infestations should be treated before they become competitive with the crop. The use of 80-degree or 110-degree flat-fan nozzles is highly recommended for optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. Use a spray pressure of 35 to 40 pounds per square inch (measured at the nozzle). Use screens that are 50 mesh or larger. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Aerial Application

Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. OSPREY Xtra Herbicide should be applied in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per broadcast acre. The use of nozzles and spray pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572 are highly recommended for optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. DO NOT use raindrop nozzles. Aerial applications with this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the crop with low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
