GENERAL INFORMATION AVENGE SG is a selective herbicide for the postemergence control of wild oats in barley and wheat. See the section DIRECTIONS FOR USE for varietal restrictions.
If broad leaf weeds must also be controlled in these crops, AVENGE SG may be tank mixed with certain broadleaf herbicides which are listed under the HOW TO USE AVENGE SG PLUS BROADLEAF HERBICIDES section. AVENGE sa alone or in combination can be applied postemergence by ground equipment or aircraft...
Maximum control of wild oats in barley and wheat with AVENGE SG alone, or in combination, is obtained when temperature, moisture, fertility and cultural practices provide favorable conditions for plant growth. When applied under poor conditions for plant growth such as cold/wet or hot/dry weather or low soil fertility, AVENGE SO can produce yellowing or slight tip bum of barley or wheat. However, recovery is rapid when good growth conditions return. A slight reduction of yield may result under conditions described above.
Observe all cautions and limitations. on this label and the labels of products used in tank mixtures with A VENOE SO. The use of A VENOE SO not consistent with this label can result in injury to crops, animals or persons. Keep containers closed to avoid spills and contamination.
WHERE TO USE AVENGE SG: AVENOE SG alone or in combination can be applied to:

WHEN TO USE AVENGE SG: AVENGE SGor AVENGE SGlbroadleaftankmix combinations are to be applied when the majority of wild oat plants are in the 3- to 5-true leaf stage of growth (tillering). The timing of AVENGE SG application to wild oats frequently coincides with barley in the 2- to 7-leaf stage, spring- seeded wheat in the 5- to 6-leaf stage, and fall-seeded wheat in the 4-leaf to tillered stage of growth. To achieve maximum control, the growth stage of wild oats in each field to be treated should be examined frequently to determine the 3- to 5-true leaf stage (tillering) for proper timing of AVENGE SG application. Density of wild oats per square foot should also be determined to select the correct AVENGE SG application rate.

GENERAL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
AVENGESG
A NON-IONIC SURFACTANT CONTAINING AT LEAST 80% NON-IONIC SURFACTANT
MUST BE USED WITH AVENGE SG HERBICIDE. Use a surfactant registered for application to growing crops. Add 4 pints non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons (0.5% vol.lvol.) of final spray tank volume. Use of crop oil concentrates is not recommended, except as may· be described in separately published recommendations from Amvac Chemical Corporation. DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.
VIGOROUS AGITATION OF THE ENTIRE TANK INCLUDING THE TANK BOTTOM IS REQUIRED TO RAPIDLY DISSOLVE THE WATER SOLUBLE GRANULES OF AVENGE SG HERBICIDE. Poor agitation and dead spots in the tank will retard rapid and thorough dissolving of AVENGE SG herbicide.
PREMIXING INSTRUCTIONS (if tank agitation is inadequate) Premix the desired amount of AVENGE SG in clean water in a clean polyethylene plastic bucket. Use polyethylene plastic or stainless steel stirring rod or wateflpressure to mix until the granules of AVENGE SG dissolve. DO NOT allow premix solution to contact skin or clothing. Add premix solution into the spray tank as described in Mixing Instructions. Thoroughly rinse all of the AVENGESG into the spray tank.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG ALONE
- Fill tank three-quarters full with clean, filtered water. Start vigorous agitation that thoroughly mixes the entire tank, including the tank bottom.
- Add AVENGE SG to the partially filled tank while agitating.
- Continue filling the tank with clean water while maintaining agitation.
- After the AVENGE SG is dissolved and the tank is full, add the non-ionic surfactant to the tank at a rate of 4 pints surfactant per 100 gallons (0.5% vol./vol.) of final spray solution (See section above for brands requiring greater percentage surfactant).
- Allow mixture to agitate and recycle for at least five minutes before spraying.
- Agitation must be continued until spraying is complete.
HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG PLUS BROADLEAF HERBICIDES
- Fill tank three-quarters full with clean, filtered water. Start vigorous agitation that thoroughly mixes the entire tank, including the tank bottom.
- Add the broadleaf herbicide first to the partially fIlled tank while agitating. Add the broadleaf herbicide(s) before adding AVENGE SG when using the ASSERT/AVENGE SG or ASSERT
538-20070822rl Avenge SO Wild Oat Herbicide Page 6 of
( (^) (
SG/AVENGE SG tank mix. NOTE: TO PREVENT MIXING PROBLEMS, TANK MIX PARTNERS MUST BE THOROUGHLY MIXED BEFORE ADDING AVENGE SG.
- When the broad leaf herbicide is thoroughly mixed, add the AVENGE SG to the partially filled tank while continuing agitation.
- Continue filling the tank with clean water while maintaining agitation.
- After the AVENGE SG is dissolved and thoroughly mixed with the tank mix partners, and the tank is full, add the non-ionic surfactant at a rate of 4 pints per 100 gallons (0.5% vol.lvol.) final spray solution (See section above for brands requiring greater percentage surfactant).
- Allow mixture to agitate and recycle for at least five minutes before spraying.
- Agitation must be continued until spraying is completed.
HOW TO MIX AVENGE SG PLUS ASSERT OR ASSERT SG HERBICIDES Follow mixing instructions on the ASSERT or ASSERT SG labels.
NOTE: DO NOT MAKE MORE THAN ONE APPLICATION OF AVENGE SG PER GROWING SEASON. DO NOT GRAZE TREATED FIELDS OR CUT TREATED FORAGE FOR SILAGE OR HAY. BARLEY OR WHEAT CAN .BE REPLANTED IF LOSS OF CROP OCCURS. AFTER HARVEST, BARLEY AND WHEAT GRAIN AND STRAW FROM TREATED FIELDS CAN BE FED TO LIVESTOCK. ROTATION TO OTHER CROPS CAN BE MADE THE FOLLOWING YEAR, EXCEPT WHERE LIMITED BY TANK MIX PARTNER LABEL RESTRICTION.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Stability of AVENGE SG is not affected by exposure to cold temperature. DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. Open dumping is prohibited. DO NOT reuse empty container. PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide. or Environmental Control Agency, or the hazardous waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER DISPOSAL FOR A BAG ATTACHED IN A BOX: Completely empty contents of bag into application equipment. Then dispose of container in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. CONTAINER DISPOSAL FOR REMOVAL BAG IN A BOX: Completely empty contents of bag into application equipment. Then dispose of bag in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. Cardboard boxes may be offered for recycling if allowed by state and local authorities. CONTAINER DISPOSAL FOR PLASTIC: Triple .rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning.
