Engineering Controls Statement When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or cockpits in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark, except as specified on this label for application to rice. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. GROUND WATER ADVISORY Sodium acifluorfen is known to leach through soil to groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable (sandy or sandy/loamy soils) and water tables are shallow could result in contamination of groundwater. Use of irrigated water in such areas will increase the likelihood of groundwater contamination. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other people, either directly or through drift. Only handlers wearing PPE may be in the treatment area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. This pesticide is toxic to vascular plants and should be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run-off precautions on this label to minimize off-site exposures. All applicable directions, restrictions, precautions and Conditions of Sale and Warranty are to be followed. This labeling must be in the user’s possession during application. Page 3 of 17 AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170.

It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 48 hours. The following PPE is required for early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water Coveralls over long sleeved shirt and long pants Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material Chemical resistant footwear plus socks Chemical resistant headgear if overhead exposure Protective eyewear Notify workers of pesticide application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated areas. I. GENERAL INFORMATION Avalanche® Ultra herbicide is intended for selective postemergence control of certain broadleaf weeds and grasses in peanuts, soybeans, strawberries, and rice. Crop Tolerance All listed crops are tolerant to Avalanche® Ultra at all stages of growth listed. Leaf speckling may occur, but plants generally outgrow this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is not reduced. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial spray cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product.

Herbicide Resistance Avalanche® Ultra is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Avalanche® Ultra and other Group 14 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 14 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Avalanche® Ultra or other Group 14 herbicides. To delay herbicide resistance consider: • Avoiding the consecutive use of Avalanche® Ultra or other target site of action Group 14 herbicides that have a similar target site of action, on the same weed species. • Using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern. • Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM program. • Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
