GENERAL INFORMATION

SCEPTER is a uniquely flexible broad-spectrum herbicide applied preplant incorporated, preemergence or postemergence

which !ray be in soybeans.

\..l",n SCEPTER is applied to the soil, susceptible weeds emeq;e, srors, and then the weeds either die or arc not competitive with the

growth crop.

~\en SCEPTER is applied postemergence, absorption occurs through both the foliage and roots. Susceptible "ceds stop growing and cither die or· are not competitive with the crop.

A timely cultivation may aid in the control of certain weeds or improve f,cneral weed control ·.,;hE.n adequate moisture is not received (lft~r

application. Cultivation should be shallow. Aftpr poste!rcrgpnce :rcatmcnts, wait at least 10 days ~cfore cultivating.

The mode of weed killing actiVity involves uptake of SCEPTER by '..;eed roots and/or foliage and rapid translations to growing points. Therefore, adequate soil moisture is important for opti.mum SCEPTER activity. For sllrface-applied treatments, rainfall or overllead irrigation is nccesf .. ary to move SCEPTER into the weed germination zone. The amount of rainfall or irrigation reqJired following application dependS on existing soil moisture. soil texture and organic matter content. Sufficient · ... ·i1t.er to ~cisten the soil to a depth of 2 inches is normally adequate. If adequate ~oisture is not received within 7 days after a surface-applied tr~atment, then a cultivation is recommended to control escaped weeds. 1.1",n adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, SCEPTER will provide res idual control of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established """ds "ill depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil.

A SCEPTER soil treatment followed by a SCFPTER postemergence treatment will control certain problem weeds (See SEQUENTIAL PROGRA!'1 section). Use s(,quential treatments in recommended states only.

Occasionally, internode shortening of soybean plants may be observed with SCEPTER applications. This has no effect on soybean yields.

There must be an interval of at least 90 days between the last SCEPTER application and soybean harvest. DO NOT graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay or straw to livestock.

PRECAUTIONS: Do not use on crops other than soybeans. Crops other than soybeans, such as cotton, corn and vegetables, may be injured by spray drift or other indirect contact with SCEPTER.

To avoid lnJury to sensitive crops from spray drift, follow all use directions and precauti"ns in SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS on pages 9 and 10.

To avoid injury to sensitive crops, spray equipment used for SCEPTER applications must be drained and thoroughly cleaned with water before being used to apply other products to these crops. See page 27 for ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS.

LIQUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY DETERMINATIONS

If a liquid fertilizer and nerbicide(s) mixture separates in the spray tank, clobGed equipment and uneven application can result, wbich can cause poor weed control ap.d crop injury. Always predetermine the compatibility of SCEPTER alone or with other herbicidc~ 'n the specific liquid fertilizer to be uspd according to the following dirccti0ns:

1. Add I pint fertilizer to 03ch of 2 one-quart jars.

2. Add 1/2 teaspoon of adjuvant to below.

one jar. See recommendpd adjuvants

~;OTE: Comprex-Kalo Laboratories Incorporated. Kansas City, MO; !:;ponyo 168 D­Witeo-Retzloff Chemical Company, Houston, TX; Unite-Hopkins Agricultural Chemical Company, Madison, WI; or other compatible adjuvants.

3. (a) When us ing SCEPTER alone, add to each jar the ~orrec t amount of SCEPTER as specified in the table below.

(b) When using SCEPTER tank mixtures, first add the specified quantity of PROWL, trifluralin, L3SS0 or Dual and then add th~ correct amount of SCEPTER.

Z.. Close both jars and shake thoroughly for 10 seconds. Let them st,>nd for 30 minutes and then observe the results. Look for signs of separation, an oily' layer of globules, sludge, flakes or other precipitates.

(a) If the mixture without adjuvant does not separate, use this mixture in your spray tank.

HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS

A soil treatment of SCEPTER is active against many grass species, but for maximum grass control SCEPTER should be tank mixed with PROWLe herbicide, trifluralin, Lasso or Dual. SCEPTER may also be applied as a sequenti.1l preemergence or postemergence treatment following application of one of the above grass herbicides.

For no-till uses, SCEPTF.R may be tank mixed with Gr<~moxone Super, Roundup or Bronco.

SCEPTER may be follow(>d by a postemergeTlce appl ication of Fusilade6 or Poast 7. DO NOT tank mix SCEPTF.R with post(>mergence grass herbicides.

SCEPTER may be used in combinatio'1 with a registered broadleaf herbicide for ~eeds not controlled by SCEPTER.

I-.'hen SCEPTER is used in combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective l"bel for rates, methods of application, proper timing, \.:<,eds controlled, limita~ions and precautions. Always use in accordance with the mor~ restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exce('dcd. SCEPTER c:iI1not be mixed with any product containing a labd prohibition against such mixing.

Soil Texture

Although the rate of SCEPTER does not vary with soil t~xture, the recommended rates of other herbicides used with this product gener~lly do vary with soil texture. Combination rate tables in this label refer to three soil texture groups: COARSE. MEDIUM, and FINE. The following table lists soil textures included in each of these three groups:

COARSE

sands loamy savis sandy loams

MEDIUM

sandy clay loams* sandy clays loams silt loams silts

silty clay loams* silty clays clay loams Clays

*Sometimes considered transitional soils and may be classified as either medium or fine textured soils.
