PRODUCT INFORMATION

Sumter S brush control agent is a water-soluble liquid to be diluted with water and applied as a foliar spray for control and/or suppression of many woody species.

Sumter S may be applied for use in pine plantations and non-crop sites, including highway rights-of-way, industrial sites, railroad rights-of- way, storage areas, utility and pipeline rights-of-way.

This product may be applied in pine plantations and non-crop sites that contain areas of temporary surface water caused by collection of water between planting beds, in equipment ruts, or in other depressions created by management activities. It is permissible to treat intermittent drainage, intermittently flooded low-lying sites, seasonally dry flood plains and transitional areas between upland and lowland sites when no water is present. It is also permissible to treat marshes, swamps and bogs after water has receded, as well as seasonally dry flood deltas. DO NOT make applications to natural or man-made bodies of water, including lakes, reservoirs, ponds, streams and canals.

Sumter S is non-flammable and nonvolatile.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

A Sumter S spray directed to only part of susceptible brush species will provide control of the portion sprayed, resulting in a trimming effect. Treatment with Sumter S generally does not immediately affect deciduous woody plants; they retain normal foliage for the remainder of the growing season. Treated susceptible plants DO NOT produce foliage or grow the following spring. Coniferous species treated with Sumter S generally displays visible symptoms following application.

Effectiveness may be reduced if, following treatment, rainfall occurs on the same day.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, Sumter S is a Group 27 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Sumter S and other Group 27 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance- management strategies should be followed.

To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:

• Rotate the use of Sumter S or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.

• Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.

• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.

• Scout before and after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.

• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.

• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.

• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Atticus, LLC at (984) 465-4754 or at www.atticusllc.com.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.

• Mandatory Spray Drift Aerial Applications

• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.

• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1).

• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.

• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.

• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.

• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.

• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

Ground Applications

• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.

• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1).

• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.

• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

Boom-less Ground Applications:

• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.

• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.

• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

• Spray Drift Advisories

• THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.

• BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

• IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE

An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom

• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.

• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.

• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft

• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.

• BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

• RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.

• SHIELDED SPRAYERS

Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.

• TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

• TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS

Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.

• WIND

Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.

Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

• Boom-less Ground Applications:

Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.

• Handheld Technology Applications:

Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS – PINE PLANTATIONS AND NON-CROP SITES

• Cutting of treated stems of brush before they are completely dead may result in sprouting.

• Drift or spray mist contact with desirable trees, shrubs, or other plants may result in injury.

• Not registered for sale or use in California or Arizona.

CUT SURFACE APPLICATIONS

Sumter S may be used for controlling the re-sprouting of cut stumps of the plants listed in the “USE RATES AND PLANTS CONTROLLED” section. Control of re-sprouting in plants listed as “difficult to control” may not be as effective.

Sumter S may either be used undiluted or mixed with water. Use the method that is best suited for the particular application equipment. When mixing with water a ratio of no less than 1 part Sumter S to 1 part water on a volume basis must be used. Apply the undiluted or mixed solution to wet the area adjacent to the cambium and bark around the entire circumference and the sides of the cut stumps. The sides of the stumps must be wet down to the root collar area.

Apply with appropriate application equipment using low spray pressure. Applications can be made any time of the year, except during periods of heavy sap flow in the spring. Applications must be made soon after cutting, before the stump surface forms a layer of callous tissue (hardens off).

To prevent freezing of the spray solution, add ethylene glycol (commercial antifreeze) to the water used in preparing the spray solution. Add the antifreeze according to the manufacturer’s label for preventing freezing of water at the lowest expected ambient temperature. Sumter S will freeze at -11°F. A 1:1 aqueous dilution of Sumter S will freeze at 21°F.

A spray pattern indicator may be used in the spray solution to facilitate application. The user must check the compatibility of the spray indicator with the spray solution prior to using large quantities.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
