DIRECTIONS FOR USE II is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

"Ally" should be used only in accordance with recommendations on this label or in separate published Du Pont recommendations available through local dealers.

Du Pont will not be responsible for losses cr damages resulting from the use of this product in any manner not specifically recommended by Du Pont. User assumes all risks associated with such nonrecommended use.

CEREAL AND CRP USE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION Du Pont "Ally" Herbicide is reco:nmended for use on wheat and barley in CO.ID. KS. MN. MT, NE, NM, ND, OK, SD. TX, UT and WY. Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado: Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Rio Grande and Saquache.

"Ally" is recommended for use on land primarily dedicated to the production of wheat (including durum) and barley. Rotation options are provided for certain other rrops such as oats, proso millet, dryland grain sorghum, dryland com, soybeans, flax, sunflower, safflower, alfalfa, hay and dry beans. In areas 10" . ,; a short growing season, prolonged periods of low soil temperature and low annual rainfall. .. Ally" can remain in the soil for 34 months or more and cause severe injury to certain crops other than those listed in the "CerealCrop Rotation Guidelines" section of this label. Reld and follow the "CerealCrop ROlation Guidelines" section for the specific rotation inlervals. Before using "Ally", carefully consider your crop rotation plans and oplions. For maximum rotational flexibility. do nott"at all your wheat or barley acres with "Ally".

"Ally" is a 6O'k active ingredient herbicide formulaled as a dry f10wable granule to be mixed in water and applied for use as a uniform broadcast spray for selective weed control in wheat (including durum). barley and in grasses on acreage enrolled in the C~P. "Aloy" may be applied by air or with ground spray equipment. II is noncorrosi·.'p., nonflammable. nonvolatile and does not freeze.

For application to wheat or barley, "Ally" should be applied postemergence to actively growing broadleaf wee!!s. Herbicitl~ "ombinations may be required for ~,aain weeds as indic. .: under ''Tank Mixtures for Resistant Weed Management" or ''Tank Mixtures" in the "Weed Control in Whelt and Barley" section.

"Ally" rapidly inhibits growth of susceptible weeds; however. typical symptoms (discoloration) <.f dying weeds may not be noticeable for I to 3 weeks afler application dependinlon crowing condi:ions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist eonditiOl's following treatment enhance the activity of ".\lIy", while cold, dry conditions delay activity. Weeds hardened·off by cold weather or drought stress may not be fully controlled or suppre'sed and regrowth may occur. Snow or rainfall received within 4 hoo'f' after appli. cation can reduce the level of weed control.

Degree of control and duration of effect depend on: weed spectrum and density; weed size and variability; growing conditions prior to, at and following time of application; amount of precipitation, an<! spray coverage. With adequate rainfall for soil activation. short-term residual control of the more sensitive species may be obtained for a few weeks after application.

INFORMATION ON RESISTANT WEEDS Narunlly-occurrinl weed biotypes· resistant to this product are known to exist. To delay the development of resbtant biotypes. spray ~ Ally" only in tank mixtures with broadleaf herbicides having a different mode of action··. such as: 2,4-D, Banvel' I "Banvel" SGF. Buctril'. Bronate', Curtail" Curtail M'. MCPA, Du Pont Karmex· DF Herbicide or Du Pont Lexone· DF Herbicide a r specified in the "Tank Mixtures for Resistant Weed Management" section of this label.

Note: Because these resistant biotypes are known to be present, accurate record keeping of pesticides applied to individual fields is advisa!;le in order to obtain infonnation on the spread and dispersal of the resisLlnt biotypes.

• Biotypes are naturally·occurring individuals of the species which have a slightly different genetic makeup. Resistant biotypes may look exactly the same as suscept;ble biotypes. Herbicide·resistant biotypes are able to :;urvive a use rate several times higher than needed to control suscep· tible biotypes. These resistant biotypes will not be controlled by "Ally" H~rbicide or other herbicides that have the same mode of action such as Amber'. Du Pont Express' Herbicide, Du Pont Gleano, FC Herbicide and Du Pont Hannony" Extra Herbicide.

•• Mode of action is the cI-emical interaction that inlCITUp" a biological proce5S necessary for plant growth and dC"e1-opmenl.

GRAZING "Ally" has 110 grazing restrictions.

MAXIMUM USE RATE AND SOIL PH LIMITATION In CO, !D. Western KS an;! Western NE (west of HIghway 183). MN, MT, NM, ND, OK Panhandle, TX Panhandle. SD, UT and WY, the maximurr. crop use rate is 1/10 ounce per acre (011 A) in a 22·month period.

In Central KS, Central NE, Central OK and • orth Central ~. !he maximllm crop use rate is 1/10 011 A in a I <'-month period.

Do not use "Ally" on soils with a pH greater than 7.9 as the extended soil residuallCtivity could adversely affect crop rotation 0pIi0ns beyond normll intervlls and. under certain conditions, CIUse injury to whelt and barley.

Note: Prior 10 usinl "Ally", tUt soil samples It 0-4" depth and determir.~ the soil pH. Soil pH is to be determined by laboratory analysis usinlthe 1'1 soil to water suspension method on representative soil ~mples taken at 0-4" depth. Representative soil sampling requires the collection of soil samples fmm each disllncttopographical area in a flCld, for namrle, hilh'lJI~, hillsides and low areas. This means that sevenl soil umples must be taken and analyze'; separately

in order to obtain a correct assessment of the soil pH varia " ~ in a given field. Consult Ir ;al extension publica

tions for additional information 01 recommended soil

sampling procedures.

WEED CONTROL IN WHEAT AND BARLEY

For best weed control or weed suppression, apply "Ally"

postemerlCnce to weeds when environmental conditions

favor active growth of broadleaf weeds and when crop

canopy will allow thorough coverage of target wee': •.

Unless otherwise directed, always include a surfactant.

For best weed control performance, use "Ally" in a tank mix with 2,4-0 (ester formulations perform best). This tank mix

works best where weed biolypes resistant to "Ally",

"Amber", "Glean" FC, "Harmony" Extra or "Express"

) Herbicides are not suspected or known to ""cur.

)

Where resislant weed biotypes, such as kochia and Russian

thistle. are suspected (land which has had 2 or more

previous applications of "Glean" FC or is immediately adjacenl to land where "Glean" FC has been used 2 or more

times) or known to be present, select the most effective tank mix partner labeled for the control of kochia and/or Russian

thistle and adjust Ihe rate so th~t it alone will control the resistant biotype(s).

Note: If resistant biotypes are present. degree of control

will depend solely on Ihe effeclivene" of Il}e tank mix partner.

Determine crop rolalion plans according 10 "Cereal Crop Rolalion Guidelines" section of Ihis label.

SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS

Annual Ryegrass (OK, TX): To obtain the best results, a sequential treatment of "Glean" FC in the fall followed by "Ally" in the spring is recommended. Apply "Glean" FC at 112 oli A preemergenc _ to ryegrass. 112 to I" of rainfall is needed to move "Glean" FC into the weed root zone prior to ryegrass emergence. Remove grazing canle during wet (muddy) field conditions to avoid disturbing the herbicide barrier. Immediately after completion of wheat grazing, apply ··.\lIy" with a surfactant or with a liquid nitrogen fenilizer topdressing application. For fields IlOI grazed, apply the sequential application of "Ally" as soon as ryegrass stans to grow after winter dormancy. Do not add a surfactant to liquid nitrogen fenilizer plus "Ally" combinations.ln mixing "Ally" with liquid fenilizer, slurry "Ally" in water, then thoroughly mix the slurry into the fenilizer. Run a tank mix compatibility test before mixing "Ally" in fenilizer solution. 00 NOT use with fenilizers having a pH of 3.0 or less. as rapid product degradation car. occur. The addition of 2,4-D is not recommended for annual ryegrass suppression.

Blue Mustard, Flixweed and Tansymustard (10, MN, MT, NO, SO, UT and WY): For best results, apply "Ally" tank mixtures with 2,4· D or MCPA postemergence to mustards, but before bloom.

Canada Thistle and Sowthistle: Apply either "Ally" plus surfactant or "Ally" plus 2.4-D or MCPA in the spring after majority of thistles have emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6" elongating stems) and activc!y growing. An application will inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compe.c with th" crop.

Sunnower (common/volunteer): Apply either "Ally" plus surfactant or "Ally" plus 2.4-D or MCPA after the Iol3jority of sunflowers have emerged. arc r to 4" tall and are actively growing. Thorough co,erage is imponant. Usc minimum spray volumes of 3 gal by air and 5 gal by ground.

Corn Cromwell and Prostrate Knotweed: Apply "Ally" plus surfactant when weeds arc actively growing, no larger than 2" tall and crop canopy will allow thorough coverage. The addition of 2,4·D or MCPA mayor may not improve the results.

Wild Buckwheat: For best results. apply "Ally" plus 2.4-D or "Ally" plus MCPA "'hen plants have no more than 3 t;ue leaves (not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing. delay treatment until environmental conditions favoring active weed growth are present. Thorough coverage is important.

Do not usc on soils with pH greater than 7.9 (for example, highly calcareous soils) as extended soil residual activity could adversely affect minimum rotation intervals for all crops.

Wherever "Ally" is used on land previously treated with "Glean" FC, read the rotational guidolines on both labels and follow the one with the longes' interval stated fur your situation.

Wherever land has been or wi', be treated with "Ally", "Amber" and "Assen", plant only wlleat or barley urtil a bioassay (see "Bioas.;ay" se(lion of label) demonSL'"3tes that "'her crops can be successfui:y grown. On land that is frequently rotated to crops other than wlleat or barley. do not usr "Ally" wllerever "Assrn" has been or will be used. The additive effect of soil residues from these treatments has not been determined and crop rotation guidelines and minimum rotation intervals are not known; injury to rotational crops may occur.

Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be uloCd to irrigate crops other than wlleat and barley.

Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoff may occur.

Do not apply to snow ·covered ground.

Varieties of wlleat and barley differ in their tolerance to IIerbiddes. When using "Ally" for the first time on a panic· ular variety. limit initial usc to one II Ol container. If no

symptoms of crop injury occur within 14 days after treatment, balance of acreage can be treated.

Do not apply "Ally" to wheat or barley that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought,low fenility, water saturated soil, disease or insect damage, as crop injury may result. Severe winter stress, drought, disease or insect damage followinl application also ma~' result in crop injury,

Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cool weather (daily hip temperatures less than SO degrees F) or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or soon after treatment, lemporary discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. Risk of injury is greatest when crop is in the 2-5 leaf stage.

Tank mixtures of"Ally" and organophosphate insecticides (such as methyl or ethyl parathion or "Oi-Syston", etc.) may cause temporary discoloration or crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when there arc wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or soon after treatment.

The combined treatment effects of "Ally" postemergence preceded by preemergence wild oat herbicides may cause crop injury to spring wheat when crop stress (s lil crusting. planting too deep. prolonged cold weather or drought) causes poor seedling vigor.

To prevent cold weather related crop injury, aVOId making applications during winter months when weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe.

8

Do not apply to wheat or barley undersown with legume~ or grasses, as injury to th~ forage may result.

To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion, do not apply to powdery dry or ligllt sand} soils until they have been stabiliz.:d by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage or other cultural practices. Injury tn adjacent crops may occur wilen treated soil is blown O:1to land used to produce crops otller than cerell grains.

For ground applications applied to weeds when dry. dusty fteld ~onditions exist. control of weeds in wheel track areas may be reduced. The addilion of2.4-D or MCPA should improve weed control under these conditions.

Tank mix applications of "Ally" plus "Asse"'" may cause temporary crop discoloration/stunting or injury wilen heavy rainfall occurs shonly after appl :ation.

Preplant or preemergenc~ applications of 2,4-0 or herbicides containing 2,4-0 made within two weeks of planting spring cereals may cause crop injury when used in conjunclion with early poslemergence applications of "Ally". Under these conditions, delay "Ally" treatmenl unlil crop tillering has begun.

With any chemical, follow labeling instruction and w..-nings carefully.

.. . . . WEED CONTROL IN PASTURES

GENERAL INFORMAnON

Du Pont" Ally" Herbicide is formulated as a dry flowable granule to be mixed in water and applied as a spray for selective weed control in grasses grown in pastures and rangeland.

"Ally" rapidly inhibits growth of susceptible weeds: however, typic.1 symptoms (discoloralion) of dyin, weeds may no! be noIiceable for I to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Wann, moist conditions following treatment enhance the activity of" Ally"; cold, dry conditions delay activity. Wee':s hardened off by cold weather or drought sbess may oot be fully controlled or suppressed and regrowth may occur. Rainfall received within 4 hours after application can reduce the level of weed control.

) Degree of control and duration of effect depend on: weed spectrum iIJId density; · ... eed siu; growing conditions prior to. at and following time of application; amounl of precipitation, and spray coverage. With adequate rainfall for soil activation. shon·term residual control of the more sensitive specie, may be obtained for a few weeks after application.

Do not exceed a single application per year.

Do not apply" Ally" through any type of irrigation system.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Do not use on lawns. golf courses. athletic fields. commercial sod operations. or other high mainterldnce. fine rurfgras. areas.

Do not use on gr."es grown for seed.

Injury to or loss of subsequen'ly sprayed crops n.ay result from failure to obser,e the following procedures:

"Ally" must b< cleaned from application equipment according to cleanup procedures described in the SPRA YER CLEANUP section of this label. prior to spraying crops other than grasses grown in pastures. rangeland. wheet. barley. or Conservation Reserve Program acres.

GRASS SELECTIVITY

Bermudagrass. bluegrass. orchard grass, bromegr aSS.

timothy and native grasses such as bluestems and grama have demonstrated good tolerance to "Ally".

Note: 8ermudagrass should be established for 60 days. bluegrass, brorncgrass. orchardgrass. and timothy should be established for 6 months, and fescue should be eSllIblished for 24 months at time of application or injury may resulL

Applications of" Ally" to fescue may cause temporary 'tunting ..,i! yellowing of the grass IS well as seedhead ,uppres· 100. 'These symptoms may be minimized by: maki~g dpplicdtion later in the spring or in the fall. using lowest recommended rate for target weed, using 1/16 to 118% vlv surfactant (112 to I pinVIOO gallons), and/or tank-mixing "Ally" and 2.4-0.

Ff'uowing "Ally" application. a reduction in production of the Ii"t .:uning may result primarily due to scedhead suppression.

9

Applications of"Ally"lO timodty should be made after greenup in the spring. The timodty should be 4 - 6 inches IlII1 at application.

Do no! apply "Ally" 10 ryegrass (Italian or perennial) pastures

as injury 10 or loss of pasture may resulL

8rOlldleaf pasture species, such IS alfalfa and the clovers, are highly sensitive 10 MAlly" and will be severely srunced or killed by appIicIIion of MAlly".

APPUCATION VOLUMES

GROUND: Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre for weed control in improved pasrures.

AERIAL: Use orifICe discs, cores and nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for cptimum spray distribution

and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 GPA. For higher density pasture grasses and/or weeds use nigher spray volume. Do not

apply during inversion conditions, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions ",ill favor poor coverage and/or drift.

Note: Aerial application of" Ally" is restricted to the stales of CO, ID, KS. MN, MO, ND, !'lE. NM. OK. OR. SO. TX. UT. WA and WY.

Note: See ··Spray Preparation, Additives, Product

Measurements, Surfactant and Liquid Feniliur" section of label for funhcr information.

GRAZING

"Ally" has no grazing restriclion.

WEED CONTROL, RATES, AND TIMING OF APPLICATION

Pensacola bahiagrass (Paspalum noIatum) control in rstablisheel bermudagrass:

Apply "Ally" al3110 ounce ofprodoct per acre plus surfactant.

Apply after green-up in t1.c spring but before bahiag"'ss scedhead formation. Application should be made when adequate moisrure is available '0 en!tance grass growth.

"Ally" is very effective for rtmoval of bahiagrass from

bennudagrass pasrures. In highly infested pasrures. use of "Ally" can result in areas that may be bare ofusetul forage unlil

the bermudagrass has the time to recolcnize the area. Therefore. in areas where heavy bahiagrass infestations exisl, it is strongly advised that "Ally" noI be applied to an entire farm or ranch in

one year, but that ft!!tments be spread out over a period of years. Fertilization (particularly with nitrogen and potassium)

and/or replantina. may accelerale the process of recolonization by bermudagrass.

Under heavy bahiagrass pre5.'Ufe,CrazinC pressure or adverse weather conditions (heal and drought), some reJfOW'h rooy occur.

Note: Ally should no! be u;cd for the conl'lll of common or Argentine balriagrass. ··Ally" should not be applied in liquid

fertilizer .a\utions for Pensacola bahiagrass control as poor

control and/or reJfOWth may occur.

SPRAY PREPARATION, ADDmVES, PRODUCTM£ASUREMEN7S,SURFACTA~7 AND LIQUID FERnUZER Spny Prepantlon: Pour the proper amount of MAlly" inlO the necessary volume of water in the sPl ay tank with the agitator running. Cootinuous agitation is required for a uniform suspension and application. "Ally" must be added first to the spray tank followed by any other tank mix chemicals or surfaclants.

Use 'pray preparation of "Ally" within 24 hours cr product degradation may occur. If spray preparation is left standing without agitation, thoroughly agitate before reusing.

Additins: Do not use with spray additives Ihat lower the pH of the spray solution below pH 3.0. as rapid prodUCI degradation can occur.

Produ .. t Measurement: The "AI!y" volumetric measuring cylinder is to be used as a guide, since the degree of accuracy varies by plus or minus 1.5%. For more precise measurement. use scales calibrated in ounces.

Surfaclant: Unless directed otherwise, use a surfaclanl of at least 80% active ingredient and add it as the laSI ingre· dient at the rale of I to 2 quam per 100 gal of spray volume on winler ""heal or 112 to I quart on spring wheat. spring or winter barley, durum spring ""heat and Wampum varielY of spring wheat. Antifoaming agenls may be needed. DO NOT use liquid fenilizer in addition to or as a substitute for a surfactanl. Pastures only - If applying in liquid nitrogen fertilizer. see "Liquid N C ... rwr" sectiOll of this label.

Note: If applying "Ally" to fescue pastures, use 1/2to I pint surfactanlilOO gallons (1116 to 1/8% v/v).

Liquid FertDlzer: Slurry "Ally" in water; then thoroughly mix the slurry il'to the liquid fenilizer. DO NOT add a surfactant. Ru •• a tank mix compatibility test before mix in!! "Ally" in fenilizer solution. DO NOT u~ with fenilizers having I pH of 3.0 or less as rapid product deJradation can occur.

Notr: When "Ally" is applied using liquid nitrogen fenilizcr solution as spray carrier; early. temporary, crop yellowing and stunting may occur.

Notr: Since the presence of tank·mix panners can inlerfere with the dispersion of "Ally", when multiple tank loads of the same tank mix are being prepared, preslurry "Ally" in a drdicated container of clean water prior 10 adding to the tank.

CAI1TION. AVOID SPRAY DRIFT Follow these practices to minimize drift

Do not allow spray from either ground or aerial equiprnentto drift OntO adjacent crops or land, as even small amcunts can injure susceptible plants. W'hen spraying near adjacent, sen;itive crops or plants, do everything possible to reduce spray drift. This includes:

Stop spraying if wind speed becomes excessive. DO NOT JPRA Y IF WIND SPEED IS 10 MPH OR GREATER. Spray drift can occur at wind speeds less than 10 MPH. If sensit.ve crops or rlants are downwind, extreme caution must be uscd even in relativel;' low wind conditions! DO NOT SPRAY IF WINDS ARE GUSTY.

High temperatu,es, drought and low relative humidity increase the possibility of harmful spray drift. EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN THE:;E CONDI· TIONS ARE PRESENT AND SENSITIVE CROPS OR PLANTS ARE NEARBY, REGARDLESS OF WIND SPEED.

Do lIot apply when a temperature in,."i"n .xi'K An inversion is characterized by low air movement a~d an increase in air temperature with an irx:rease in altitude. In humid regions. a fog or mist may form. An inverSIon may be detected by producing a smoke column and checking f(>r a layering effecl. Smoke-producing devices on aircraft are recommended. If net sure whether inversion conditions are present. consult ",·ith local weather scn ices before makmg an application.

Drift from aerial or ground e~uipment may be funher reduced by:

Using large droplet size sprays to minimize drift. DO NOT APPLY WITH HOLLOW·CONE INSECTICIDE NOZZLES ON GROUND EQUIPMEr-IT. Do not use nozzles that produce small droplets. such as Sprayfoil' or airblast·type nozzles. Nozzles should be oriented at an angle betwern straight down and straight back for ground applications.

for aerial applications, orient nozzles straight back along the windstream using straight stream orifICes (such as disk with no swirl plate). If usinC noed-type IK'ZZles on aircraft, orient lhem 50 spray is produced in direction of the airstream. Use the lowest nt:mber of nozzles practical with the large.t orifICe size per nozzle 10 obtain minimum of I GPA. Application height sbuld not uceed 1/2 length of wing span, to minimize drifl polential. Boom length must not exceed 213 of wing 'pan,

Increasing volume of 'pray 01 .. per aUe (fnr uample, mimmum ~ GPA by air, 10 GPA by gruund) by u"ng higher now·rale nonie"

Reducing pressure (PSI). DO NOT EXCEED 40 PSI when applying "Ally-. (Vehicle speed must also be reduced 10 maintain spray mix volume per acre). Consult manufacturer's catalogs for drlails on corrcct talibration.

Apply as close to targct plants as possible whilc still maintaining a 1000 spray pattern.

Note: Do not allow spray 10 drift onlO adjacent crops, or onto qricullllrllllnd scheduled to be planted to crops other thall wheat, baricy, passes pown on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres or grasses grown in pastures and rangeland, as injury to the crop may occur. Extreme care must be taken I' prevent drift onto susceptible nontargct plants or nontarget land.

~ize, soil texture, drainage, turnaround areas, eroded k,~olls or alkaline spots when selecting the sites that are most representative of the soil conditions in the flCki.

E\:n in small flCkis, more than one test strip is required to accurately determine whether it is safe to rotate to a crop not listed on the label. On large fields, several test strips will be needed in order to obIain relia I)Ie results based on the field v.mbles melllioned above.

2. Plant the test strips perpendiculllr to the direction in which the field was sprayed. Each strip should be long enough to cross the width of several spray swathes. A large test strip area is more reliable than a small one. Suggested size is 114 to li2 acre per test ~trip.

SPRAYER CLEANUP AT "':!1; END or TIlE DAY

It is recommelllkd that during periods when multiple loads of "Ally" will be applied. at the end of each liay of spraying rinse the interior of the tank with fresh water, then partially fill the tank and flu~h the boom and hoses. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits which can accumu· late in the application equipment.
