ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

For terrestrial uses, except for uses under the forest canopy, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash-water or rinsate.

Exposure to OUST® XP HERBICIDE can injure or kill plants. Damage to susceptible plants can occur when soil particles are blown or washed off target onto cropland.

Sulfometuron-methyl is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of sulfometuron-methyl from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove PPE immedi-ately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If no such in-structions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS

Aerial Applications:

• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is nec-essary for pilot safety.

• Applicators are required to use an Extremely Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.

• 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 Boom Applications:

• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or target veg-etation unless making an industrial turf application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the crop or target vegetation.

• Applicators are required to use an Extremely Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS (continued)

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES

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.

THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND EN-

VIRONMENTAL 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.

2.625"

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.

NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY

This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift Management section of this label.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

OUST XP HERBICIDE is a dispersible granule that is mixed in water and applied as a spray or impregnated on dry, bulk fertilizer.

OUST XP HERBICIDE controls many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in forestry and noncrop sites.

OUST XP HERBICIDE may be used for general weed control on terrestrial noncrop sites and for selective weed control in certain types of unimproved turf grasses on these same sites. OUST XP HERBICIDE may also be used for selective weed control in forest site preparation and in the release of certain conifers and hardwoods. OUST XP HERBICIDE can be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use in forestry and noncrop sites; when tank mixing, use the most restrictive limitations from the labeling of both products. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow

2.625" the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

When applied as spray, OUST XP HERBICIDE controls weeds by both preemergence and postemergence activity. When applied on dry fertilizer, OUST XP HERBICIDE controls weeds by preemergence activity. When applied on dry fertilizer, the best results are obtained when the application is made before weed emergence. The best results are obtained when the application is made before or during the early stages of weed growth before weeds develop an established root system. The best results are obtained when the application is made before or during the early stages of weed growth before weeds develop an established root system.

Moisture is required to move OUST XP HERBICIDE into the root zone of weeds for preemergence control.

This product may be applied on forestry and non-agricultural sites that contain areas of temporary surface water caused by col-lection of water between planting beds, in equipment ruts, or in other depressions created by management activities. It is per-missible to treat intermittently flooded low lying sites, seasonal 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 such as lakes, reservoirs, ponds, streams and canals.

A drift control agent may be used at the manufacturer's listed rate in the application of OUST XP HERBICIDE. OUST XP HERBICIDE is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile and does not freeze.

For best postemergence results, apply OUST XP HERBICIDE to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed species, weed size at application, and soil texture. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:

• weed spectrum and infestation intensity

• weed size at application

• environmental conditions at and following treatment

• soil pH, soil moisture, and soil organic matter Use a high rate on established plants and on fine-textured soils and a lower rate on smaller weeds and coarse-textured soils.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

When applied as a spray, OUST XP HERBICIDE is absorbed by both the roots and foliage of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of susceptible weeds. When applied on dry fertilizer, OUST XP HERBICIDE is absorbed primarily by the roots. 2 to 3 weeks after

2.625" application to weeds, leaf growth slows, and the growing points turn reddish-purple. Within 4 to 6 weeks of application, leaf veins and leaves become discolored, and the growing points subsequently die.

Warm, moist conditions following application accelerate the herbicidal activity of OUST XP HERBICIDE; cold, dry conditions delay the herbicidal activity. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought stress are less susceptible to OUST XP HERBICIDE. Moisture is needed to move OUST XP HERBICIDE into the soil for preemergence weed control.

INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT

This product may be considered for use on public, private, and tribal lands to treat certain weed species infestations that have been determined to be invasive, consistent with the Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds (FICMNEW) National Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) System for invasive plants. Effective EDRR systems ad-dress invasions by eradicating the invader where possible, and controlling them when the invasive species is too established to be feasibly eradicated. Once an EDRR assessment has been completed and action is recommended, a Rapid Response needs to be taken to quickly contain, deny reproduction, and if possible eliminate the invader. Consult your appropriate state extension service, forest service, or regional multidisciplinary invasive species management coordination team to determine the appropriate Rapid Response provisions and allowed treatments in your area.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

OUST XP HERBICIDE contains the active ingredient sulfometuron-methyl which is a Group 2 Herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected.

Follow the best management practices listed below to delay the development of herbicide resistant weeds.

• Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. Fields should be scouted after application to verify that the treatment was effective.

• Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed-control program should consider all of the weeds present.

• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:

Oust XP 3 lb 85834355B 180308AV2 etl 050619 w crops.qxp_Oust XP 3 lb 85834355B 180308AV2 etl 050619 w crops 5/6/19 12:21 PM Page 9

2.625" o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;

o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.

• Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective mechanisms of actions for each target weed.

• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your Bayer distributor, Bayer representative or call 1-800-331-2867.

• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a different mechanism of action and/or use non-chemical means to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.

• Use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation.

• To the extent possible, do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots, or tubers.

• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing mechanisms of action.

• Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weeds in the field.

• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this product as a foundation in a weed-control program.

• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of action within a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the dif-ficult-to-control weeds.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and ge-netic 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 de-

PREPARING FOR USE - SITE SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS

Understanding the risks associated with the application is essential to aid in preventing off-site injury to desirable vegetation and agricultural crops. The risk of off-site movement both during and after application may be affected by a number of site specific factors such as the nature, texture, and stability of the soil, the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, drainage patterns, and other local physical and environmental conditions. A careful evaluation of the potential for off-site movement from the intended application site, including movement of treated soil by wind or water erosion, must be made prior to using OUST XP HERBICIDE. This evaluation is particularly critical where desirable vegetation or crops are grown on neighboring land for which the use of OUST XP HERBICIDE is not labeled. If prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement and cause damage to neighboring desirable vegetation or agricultural crops, do not apply OUST

XP HERBICIDE.

Before applying OUST XP HERBICIDE the user must read and understand all label directions, precautions and restrictions com-pletely, including these requirements for a site specific evaluation. If you do not understand any of the instructions or precautions on the label, or are unable to make a site specific evaluation yourself, consult your local agricultural dealer, cooperative extension service, land managers, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities familiar with the area to be treated. If you still have questions regarding the need for site specific considerations, please call 1-800-331-2867.

FERTILIZER IMPREGNATION

OUST XP HERBICIDE may be used to impregnate or coat dry bulk fertilizer to be applied on forested areas. Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated with OUST XP HERBICIDE for application in the establishment of loblolly and slash pine.

IMPREGNATION

To impregnate the fertilizer, use a system consisting of a conveyor or closed drum used to blend dry bulk fertilizer. Some fertilizers such as potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate and triple super phosphate are not compatible with OUST XP HERBICIDE. Diammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, 16-16-16 and 24-4-4 have been successfully used. Do not use OUST XP HERBICIDE on lime-stone.

If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use a suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation. Dusty fertilizer may result in poor distribution and excessive risk of drift during application. The dry fertilizer must be properly impregnated and uniformly applied to avoid potential tree injury/mortality and poor weed control.

Consult the Application Rates section of this label for the appropriate rate of OUST XP HERBICIDE to be used per acre. Apply this amount of OUST XP HERBICIDE to the volume of fertilizer to be applied per acre. To impregnate dry bulk fertilizer, mix the amount of OUST XP HERBICIDE as prescribed above in a sufficient quantity of water to uniformly coat the desired amount of fertilizer.

Suspensions of OUST XP HERBICIDE will require thorough agitation. Direct the spray nozzles to deliver a fine spray of the mixture toward the fertilizer for uniform coverage. The use of a colorant or dye may be beneficial to visually determine the uniformity of impregnation.

Impregnation of OUST XP HERBICIDE to dry bulk fertilizer may vary. If absorption of the impregnating spray by the fertilizer is not adequate, the use of an absorptive powder or additive, such as MicroCel E (Celite Corporation) or HiSill - 233 (PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.) may be required to produce a dry, free-flowing mixture.

Apply impregnated fertilizer as soon as possible after impregnation for optimum performance. Impregnated fertilizer may become lumpy and difficult to apply following storage. Uniform and precise application of the fertilizer impregnated with OUST XP HER- BICIDE is essential for satisfactory weed control and to minimize tree injury.

Low rates of OUST XP HERBICIDE can kill or severely injure most crops. Following an OUST XP HERBICIDE application, the use of spray equipment to apply other pesticides to crops on which OUST XP HERBICIDE is not registered may result in their damage.

The most effective way to reduce this crop damage potential is to use dedicated mixing and application equipment.

BROADCAST APPLICATION

Applications may be made by ground or air (helicopter or fixed wing aircraft).

Accurate calibration of the application equipment is essential for uniform distribution on the soil surface. Overlaps or skips be-tween adjoining swaths or non-uniform distribution of impregnated fertilizer within the swath will deliver poor results and may result in tree injury or mortality.

HARDWOODS

Hardwood Site Preparation Application Before Transplanting Apply 3 to 4.25 ounces per acre on sites where northern red oak, white oak, chestnut oak, American sycamore, ash (white or green), red maple, sweetgum, or yellow poplar are to be planted. Make all applications before transplanting.

West—For hybrid poplar west of the Cascade mountains, apply 1/2 to 1 1/4 ounces per acre. Use 1 to 1 1/4 ounces per acre for heavy weed infestations and where maximum residual control is desired. Use 1/2 to 3/4 ounce per acre for light weed infes-tations or where small diameter cuttings are to be planted. Allow a minimum of 3 days between application and planting. Limit the first use to a small area to determine the selectivity of OUST XP HERBICIDE on specific clones. OUST XP HERBICIDE must be activated by rainfall or overhead irrigation before weeds become well established. Use of OUST XP HERBICIDE may cause tem-porary chlorosis (yellowing) or a small reduction in tree height during the year of use.

Hardwood Release Application After Transplanting Apply 1 to 4 ounces per acre in stands of American sycamore, ash (white or green), bald cypress, oaks (such as chestnut, northern red, southern red, overcup, pin, swamp chestnut, cherry bark, water, white, pin, etc.), red maple, sweetgum, or yellow poplar.

Apply OUST XP HERBICIDE before hardwood tree seedlings or transplants break dormancy (bud swell stage). Applications made over the top after the trees have broken dormancy may injure or kill the trees.

West—For hybrid poplar west of the Cascade mountains, apply 1/2 to 1 1/4 ounces per acre. Use 1 to 1 1/4 ounces per acre for heavy weed infestations and where maximum residual control is desired. Use 0.5 to 0.75 ounce per acre for light weed in-

Apply when the trees are dormant and avoid contact of the spray with green buds or tissue as injury to the trees may result. Avoid applications during the period when the hybrid poplar are actively growing; from bud-swell in the spring to leaf drop in the fall. Limit the first use to a small area to determine the selectivity of OUST XP HERBICIDE on specific clones. OUST XP HERBICIDE must be activated by rainfall or overhead irrigation before weeds become well established. Use of OUST XP HER- BICIDE may cause temporary chlorosis (yellowing) or a small reduction in tree height during the year of use.

Lake States—For hybrid poplar in the Lake States, apply at the rate of 1 to 2 ounces per acre in the fall or early winter. When late winter or early spring applications are made use 1 ounce per acre. Apply when the trees are dormant and avoid contact of the spray with green buds or tissue as injury to the trees may result. Avoid applications during the period when the hybrid poplar are actively growing; from bud-swell in the spring to leaf drop in the fall. Apply only to trees which have been established for a minimum of 1 year. Limit the first use to a small area to determine the selectivity of OUST XP HERBICIDE on specific clones. Use of OUST XP HERBICIDE may cause temporary chlorosis (yellowing) or a small reduction in tree height during the year of use.

Natural Hardwood Regeneration OUST XP HERBICIDE is labeled for herbaceous weed control in commercial reforestation areas where hardwood seedling regen-eration is desired following shelterwood seed cuts. Apply 2 to 4.25 ounces per acre using appropriate ground equipment. For control of striped maple and beech, tank mix with 1 to 2 quarts per acre of glyphosate. For best results, apply from late summer to mid- fall. Note that hardwood seedlings present at the time of application may be severely injured or killed.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS NON-CROP SITES

Kochia, Russian Thistle, and Prickly Lettuce Since biotypes of kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are known to be resistant to OUST XP HERBICIDE, tank mixture combinations with herbicides having different modes of action, such as diuron, HYVAR® X HERBICIDE or KROVAR® I DF HERBICIDE, must be used. In areas where resistance is known to exist, these weeds should be treated postemergence with other herbicides registered for their control, such as 2,4-D or dicamba. Do not allow kochia, Russian thistle, or prickly lettuce to form mature seed.

TANK MIX COMBINATIONS

To improve preemergence to early postemergence control of weeds and grasses, add 2 to 6 ounces of OUST XP HERBICIDE per acre to the labeled rates of the following herbicides: HYVAR X HERBICIDE, KROVAR I DF HERBICIDE, VELPAR® L VU HERBICIDE, VELPAR® DF VU HERBICIDE, ESCORT® XP HERBICIDE (do not use in California), TELAR® XP HERBICIDE, diuron, glyphosate, dicamba, or 2,4-D.

Apply OUST XP HERBICIDE plus a companion herbicide at the rates and timing as shown on package labels for target weeds.

For application method and other use specifications, use the most restrictive directions for the intended combination. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable re-strictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Do not tank mix OUST XP HERBICIDE with HYVAR X-L HERBICIDE.

UNDER ASPHALT AND CONCRETE PAVEMENT

Application Information OUST XP HERBICIDE can be used to control weeds under asphalt and concrete pavement, including that used in parking lots, highway shoulders, median strips, roadways, and other industrial sites.

OUST XP HERBICIDE will not control tubers, rhizomes, woody vegetation such as small trees, brush or woody vines.

OUST XP HERBICIDE must only be used in an area that has been prepared according to good construction practices. Use sufficient water to ensure uniform coverage, generally 100 gallons per acre. Agitate the tank continuously to keep OUST XP HERBICIDE in suspension.
