PRODUCT INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
Shafen Star is a selective herbicide which may be applied pre-plant, pre-emergence or post-emergence for control or suppression of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges in cotton, dry beans, potatoes, snap beans, and soybeans.

Post-Emergence Applications
Shafen Star is generally most effective and consistent when used post-emergence, working through contact action. Therefore, emerged weeds must have thorough spray coverage for effective control. Some bronzing, crinkling, or spotting of soybean leaves may occur following a post-emergent application, but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. Optimum weed control is achieved by post-emergent applications of Shafen Star to young actively growing broadleaf weeds that are not under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury.

Pre-Plant Surface and Pre-Emergence Applications
Certain germinating broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges may be controlled or suppressed by soil residual activity from either pre-plant, pre-emergent or post-emergent applications if rainfall occurs shortly after application. The extent and consistency of soil activity is dependent upon soil characteristics,  ground cover, amount of rainfall following application and the rate of Shafen Star used.

Information on Weed Resistance
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf species with resistance to this herbicide and related products (same mode of action) are known to exist. Selection of resistant biotypes, through repeated use of these herbicides, may result in control failures. If poor performance cannot be attributed to adverse weather conditions or improper application methods, a resistant biotype may be present. In such a case, additional treatments with this herbicide or similar mode of action products are not recommended. Consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for assistance.

PRECAUTIONS
• Thoroughly clean the spray system with water and a commercial tank cleaner before and after each use. 
• Tank-mixes of Shafen Star with other pesticides, fertilizers or any other additives except as specified on this label or other approved Sharda USA LLC supplemental labels may result in tank-mix incompatibility, unsatisfactory performance and/or unsatisfactory crop injury. 
• Apply post-emergence to actively growing weeds. Avoid applying Shafen Star to weeds or soybeans which are under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, as reduced weed control and/or increased crop injury may result. 
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths, as injury may occur to rotational crops
