COTTON GENERAL INFORMATION Command 3ME Herbicide may be applied, as a preemergent banded or broadcast treatment in conventional tillage or conservation tillage systems for the control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in cotton. Do not incorporate Command 3ME or use in a tank mixture with any herbicide that requires soil incorporation.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR COTTON

Off-Bile movement of spray drift or vapors 01 Comman(je 3ME __ can cause foliar whitening or yellowing of some plants. Prior to maklng applications. read and strictly follow all precau­tions and instructions In the GENERAL APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS and SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS sections. Addltlonal Precautions For Cotton Applications:

Do not apply at boom heights above 24 inches.

00 not apply with nozzles olher than flood. whirlchamber. or RairldroJ>- or similar tips thai produce coarse sprays.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANTING TIME APPLICATIONS Do not apply Command 3ME Herbicide to cotton unless either disulfoton or ph<.rate organophosphate insecticide is ap~lied in-furrow with the seed at planting time at a minimum of 0.75 pound per acre of active ingredient. Do not reduce the application rate of the organophosphate insecticide when Command 3ME herbicide is applied as a banded treatment. Failure to apply either disulfoton or phorale insecticides with Command in accordance with in-furrow label use directions can result in crop phytotoxicity (bleaching) and/or stand reduction. Combinations of at planting systemic granular carbamate and organophosphate insecticides In conjunction with Command may result il. injury to cotton. Crop injury may occur with higher Command rates on sandy soils. Diuron is not recommended at planting when Command is used as plant injury may result.

Refer to the insecticide product labels for appropria\~ in-furrow application directions and maximum use rates. Monitor application equipment to insure accurate and uniform placement of the insecticide

FOLLOWED BY POSTEMERGENCE TREATMENTS Postemergence herbicides approved for use on soybeans may be applied following treatments of Command 3ME alone or in tank mix combinations for control of emerged weeds as listed on the postemerg­ance product labels. Read and follow the precautionary sti'\temE:f'lIS, directions for use, rates of application and all other information appe.aring on the product labels.

DO NOT apply Classic, Pursuit Jr Scepter as a post emergence Irtlat­ment after Command 3ME plus Canopy, Preview, Pursuit Plus, Scepter, or Squadron in a tank mix treatment, unless the other product labels speCifically recommend such a treatment, as those other herbi.-cides share a common mode of action and may cumulatively cause injUry 10 soybeans or rOlational crops.

COMMAND 3ME HERBICIDE FOLLOWED BY ACIFLUORFEN (BLAZE~ 2L OR TACKLE-) HERBICIDE Following an application of Command 3ME or tank mixture with Command 3ME, a postemergence application of acifluorien will control the following emerged broadleaf weeds:

Broadleaf Weeds Black Nighlshade Cocklebur Hemp sesbania Pigweed (Redroo!) Pitted Moming-glory Purple Moonflower Wild Mustard

Apply acifluorfen at a rate of 1 pint per acre with .25% crop 011 concentrate to actively growing weeds al no more than the 4-leaf growth stage (do not count cotyledonary leaves but only the fully developed true leaves). This timing generally correlates to soybean growth stages of the first to third trifoliate leaves.

NOTE: Application of Command 3M E herbicide generally retards the development rate of weeds which may extend the period where acifluor­fen can be effectively applied.

Read and follow all precautions, restrictions, and warnings on all product labels.

COMMAND 3ME HERBICIDE FOLLOWED flY SCEPTER- HERBICIDE Following an application of Command 3ME or tank mixtures with Com­mand 3ME, a postemergence application of Scepter herbicide Will control the following emerged broadleaf weeds:

Broadleaf W~ Cocklebur, common Pigweed Wild Poinsettia

Apply Scepter after crop emergence but before weeds exceed a height of 12 inches (6 Inches for Wild POinsettia). Apply al a broadcast rate of 11:3 pint per acre. Apply when weeds are actively growing. CO NOT apply Scepter posterr,ergence when soybeans and weeds have been sub· jected to stress ,)nditions such as temperature and mOisture extremes. The total amount of Scepter must not exceed 113 pint per dcre P~I .;o .... ..::~"'n in northern areas or 2/3 pint per acre per season in southern areas as defined on the Scepter label. Squadron includes the same active ingredient as Scepter

For postemergence applications, the addition of a non ionic surfac­tant or crop oil concentrate is required. The non ionic surfactant should contain at least 80% active ingredient and should be applied at a rate 01 2 pint. per 100 gallon. 01 .pray mixture. Apply the crop oil concentrate (COC) at the rate stated on the COC label.

Read and tollow all precautionary statemsnts and restnctions, directions for use and all other information appearing on the Scepter label.
