PRODUCT INFORMATION
PERMIT is a dry flowable formulation that selectively controls certain broadleaf weeds and nutsedges in selected crops. PERMIT is effective both preemergence and postemergence. PERMIT can be absorbed through roots, shoots and foliage and is translocated within the plant.

WEED RESISTANCE STATEMENT
Weeds can develop resistance to herbicides. Some weed biotypes have inherent resistance to certain herbicides. Also, repeated use of herbicides with similar modes of action can result in the development of resistance in weed populations. PERMIT, a member of the sulfonylurea family, is an ALS enzyme inhibiting herbicide. To minimize the potential for resistance development and/or to control resistant weed biotypes, use a variety of cultural, mechanical, and chemical weed control tactics. Rotate with herbicides having different modes of action (e.g. non-ALS/AHAS materials). Contact your professional crop advisor, local cooperative extension specialist, or Gowan Company representative for additional information.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUCTIONS
Ground Applications:
PERMIT can be applied as a broadcast or band application. For band applications, use proportionally less spray mixture based on the area actually sprayed. Do not concentrate the band. Consult the “Application Instructions” section of this label for the rates and procedures that are appropriate for yourgrowing region.
Apply PERMIT in a spray volume that ensures thorough and uniform coverage. Use of 15 or more gallons of water per acre is labeled unless otherwise directed in the “Application Instructions” section. Choose nozzles that provide optimum spray distribution and coverage to the target weed at the appropriate pressure (psi). Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps, and spray drift during application. Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Follow the clean-up procedures on the labels of applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the 6 steps outlined in the “Sprayer Tank Cleanout” section below.

Aerial Applications:
Apply this product or approved tank mixtures with properly calibrated equipment in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre. Thoroughly clean equipment prior to mixing spray solution. Avoid streaking, skips, overlaps, and spray drift during applications.

USE PRECAUTIONS
Excessive amounts of water (greater than 1 inch) from rainfall or sprinkler irrigation soon after a preemergent application may cause crop injury. This potential injury can be enhanced if seeding depth is too shallow. Avoid applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 4 hours. Avoid using overhead sprinkler irrigation within 4 hours after application of PERMIT. PERMIT can cause injury or crop failure under cool and wet growing conditions that delay early seedling emergence, vigor or growth. Be especially cautious during the first planting of the season when these conditions are likely to occur. Use of soil or foliar-applied systemic organophosphate insecticides on PERMIT treated crops may increase the potential for crop injury and/or the severity of the crop injury. Avoid spray drift outside of targeted area. PERMIT may be applied to labeled crops (including cultivars and/or hybrids of these) and used according to labeled directions. Not all hybrids/varieties have been tested for sensitivity to PERMIT. For untested varieties, a small amount of the field should be sprayed to determine potential sensitivity to its use. Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after PERMIT use and prior to spraying another crop. Temporary yellowing or stunting of the crop may occur following PERMIT applications. Under certain environmental conditions, PERMIT applied over-the-top of a blooming crop may result in some bloom loss. Use of PERMIT without an adjuvant can result in reduced efficacy.

USE RESTRICTIONS
Do not apply PERMIT using air assisted (air blast) field crop sprayers.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not apply PERMIT if the crop or target weeds are under stress due to drought, water saturated soils, low fertility (especially low nitrogen levels) or other poor growing conditions.
Do not make more than the maximum number of applications per year for each crop.
