DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Read the entire label. Use strictly in accordance with Precautionary Statements and Directions and with applicable state and federal regulations. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other people, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the state or tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

IMPORTANT
Injury to or loss of desirable trees, vegetation, and/or adjacent sensitive crops may result from failure to observe the following: Avoid all direct or indirect contact with crops other than rice or land scheduled to be planted with crops other than rice due to the potential for sensitivity to the active ingredient in STRADA® PRO.

USE INFORMATION
STRADA PRO is a systemic herbicide formulated as a water dispersible granule suitable for selective postemergence weed control. When applied according to label directions, it is effective in the control of several annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and sedges. To achieve the best control, apply STRADA PRO to young, actively growing weeds. This stage usually corresponds to a rice growth stage between 2 and 4 leaves. Mix STRADA PRO at the specified rates with water, and apply as a foliar spray by ground or air application to water-seeded or dry-seeded rice. Efficacy may depend on the following parameters:
• Weed size at application
• Growing and environmental conditions (e.g. soil moisture, relative humidity, and temperature) prior to and following treatment
• Soil pH, texture, and organic matter content
• Water management
STRADA PRO contains Group 2 herbicides which are members of the sulfonylurea herbicides.
STRADA PRO inhibits the plant enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) which is also known as acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS). Inhibition of this enzyme blocks branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis of valine, leucine, and isoleucine which leads to plant death. STRADA PRO is particularly efficient by foliar uptake. Once inside the target weed, it is translocated by xylem and phloem. Soon after STRADA PRO is applied, growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited, and the plants are no longer competitive with rice. Typically, weed leaves turn yellow, then reddish; and within 10 to 20 days, depending on weed size, species, and growing conditions, the stem and roots die. Treated target weeds may stay green but are stunted and not competitive with the crop.

RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
• Rainfast within 6 hours.
• Do not make more than 1 application per year.
• Do not use air assisted (air blast) sprayers to apply this product.
• After applying to foliage, allow 30 days before grazing domestic livestock, harvesting forage, or harvesting silage.
• Do not apply within 48 days of harvest in all states except in California; it is 69 days.
• Do not enter treated fields until 12 hours after application (REI = 12 hours).
• Use of an approved agricultural surfactant or adjuvant is necessary for STRADA PRO.
• Do not apply more than 2.5 ounces of STRADA PRO per acre per year (equivalent to 0.066 lb ai orthosulfamuron and 0.0186 lb ai halosulfuron-methyl per acre) or 1 bottle of product (2.6 lbs) per 16.6 acres. The maximum use rate for orthosulfamuron is 0.066 lb ai and halosulfuron-methyl is 0.062 lb ai per acre per year.
• The entire contents of this container must be emptied into the spray tank and applied to the intended site or properly disposed.
• Poor weed control may result from application of STRADA PRO made to plants under stress from abnormally hot or cold weather; environmental conditions such as drought, hail damage, hydrogen sulphide; or prior herbicide applications.
• Do not apply where runoff or irrigation water may flow directly onto agricultural land other than rice fields.
• Do not apply STRADA PRO directly or indirectly to crops other than rice.
• Application of STRADA PRO to fields which have been levelled (except water levelling) within 12 months prior to application may result in rice injury in areas that have been cut or filled.
• Do not allow tank mixtures containing STRADA PRO to sit overnight.
• Chemigation or applications through any type of irrigation system is not allowed.
