DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. Applicators must not exceed labeled rates of this product. Refer to specific crop directions for use for maximum use rates. Calculate the 12 month period for the purpose of maximum use rates from when SAUSX-01 is first applied. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the Agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
SAUSX-01 is a soil-applied selective herbicide. It will control listed grasses, sedges and broadleaf weeds. SAUSX-01 is a flowable product that contains 4 pounds of active ingredient (sulfentrazone) per gallon.
The active ingredient sulfentrazone inhibits an enzyme required by plants in order to produce chlorophyll. Inhibiting this enzyme leads to the release of singlet oxygen (O) which then disrupts cellular membranes, resulting in cellular leakage and cellular death ultimately resulting in plant death.

SAUSX-01 has a selective mode of action because sulfentrazone has a greater affinity for the PRO IX enzyme in listed weed species as opposed to listed crops.
SAUSX-01 must be prepared and used in such a way so as to prevent the following:
• spills
• improper disposal of spray mixtures, rinsate or any excess pesticide
• back siphoning in wells

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product in one of the following ways:
• as a surface application, pre-emergence treatment (i.e. before crop and/or weed emergence)
• as a incorporated treatment prior to planting
• Post-plant application
• Over-the-top
• layby
For further detail, refer to the Crop Specific Use Directions below. When SAUSX-01 is used as an incorporated treatment, the product must be incorporated following a uniform surface application to a depth of 2 inches maximum. If it is incorporated to a greater depth, reduced control of target species may result. Applicators must ensure that there is no overlap between areas that have been treated with SAUSX-01 due to soil movement. Such an overlap could cause an adverse crop response

When SAUSX-01 is soil applied or applied as a post-plant treatment, the herbicidal action of the product must be activated by moisture. The amount of moisture required depends upon a number of factors including:
• soil type
• organic matter content
• tilth
• existing soil moisture at the time of treatment
For an effective application of SAUSX-01, 0.5 to 1 inch of irrigation or rainfall is required within 7 to 10 days following treatment. If that level of moisture is not received, shallow incorporation must be undertaken in order to obtain sufficient control of target species. Activating moisture can be delayed for 10-14 days, and sometimes longer, depending on the factors listed above. If activating moisture is delayed, however, control of listed species may be reduced, due to the growth of weeds during the delay. When SAUSX-01 has been activated, it will provide control of listed weed species. The level of control will depend on the size and type of weed species when SAUSX-01 is activated. The control of listed germinating weed species will be reduced when rain or irrigation follows a period of dry weather. Apply SAUSX-01 prior to the germination of crop seeds in order to avoid damage to emerging seedlings. Crop damage may occur where treatment is delayed if seeds are germinating, or are close to the soil surface.
If SAUSX-01 is applied by surface application and activation has not been triggered by rainfall, or irrigation' (172" to 1" moisture) within 10 days" of treatment, make a shallow incorporation"(less than 2") of the product so that germinating weed species can be controlled. Soil incorporation will also facilitate product activation with existing soil moisture. Where there is prolonged periods when rainfall/irrigation is not available, alternative weed control methods should be considered.
Follow Crop Specific Use Directions exactly and with care, particularly for post plant treatments. Lay-by/Over-the-top applications provide control of listed species through contact and residual control (depending on weed species).
Combining this product with a surfactant may improve control of listed species, but may also increase the risk of crop injury.
