for detailed information before using adjuvant types not
specified on this label.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
•
Use 2 qt/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate
(UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 lb/acre of a spray-
grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 qt/acre UAN or 4
lb/acre AMS under arid conditions.
CROP ROTATION
Wheat, barley, oat, triticale, soybeans and field corn may be
replanted anytime after the application of DuPont™
HARMONY® GT XP. Any other crop may be planted 45
days after the application of HARMONY® GT XP.
GRAZING
Do not graze or feed forage or hay from treated areas to
livestock (harvested straw may be used for bedding and/or
feed).
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray
solution below pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0, as rapid product
degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 - 8.0 allow
for optimum stability of HARMONY® GT XP.
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of HARMONY®
GT XP.
3. Continue agitation until the HARMONY® GT XP is fully
dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the HARMONY® GT XP is fully dispersed, maintain
agitation and continue filling tank with water.
HARMONY® GT XP should be thoroughly mixed with
water before adding any other material.
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then
add the required volume of spray adjuvant. Always add
spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. Do
not use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray
solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product degradation can
occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0 and higher allow for
optimum stability of HARMONY® GT XP.
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will
occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using.
7. Apply HARMONY® GT XP spray mixture within 24
hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
8. If HARMONY® GT XP and a tank mix partner are to be
applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the HARMONY® GT
XP in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will
prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the
dissolution of the HARMONY® GT XP.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
For specific application equipment, refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information
on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements,
nozzle heights above the target canopy, etc.
Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before
a
pplication. Select a spray volume and delivery system that
will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern
with minimum drift. Use higher spray volumes to obtain
better coverage when crop canopy is dense. Avoid swath
overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning,
slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to the crop. Do not
make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or
during weather conditions that might cause spray to drift onto
n
ontarget sites. For additional information on spray drift refer
to the "SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT" section of this
label. Continuous agitation is required to keep
HARMONY® GT XP herbicide in suspension.
SPRAYER CLEANUP
The spray equipment must be cleaned before HARMONY®
GT XP is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified
on the labels of the previously applied products. If no
directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined in the
"AFTER SPRAYING HARMONY® GT XP" section of this
label.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
It is recommended that during periods when multiple loads of
HARMONY® GT XP herbicide are applied, at the end of
each day of spraying the interior of the tank be rinsed with
fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses
flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide
deposits which can accumulate in the application equipment.
AFTER SPRAYING HARMONY® GT XP AND
BEFORE SPRAYING CROPS OTHER THAN
WHEAT, BARLEY, OAT, TRITICALE, FIELD
CORN AND SO
YBEANS
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly
clean all mixing and spray equipment immediately
following applications of HARMONY® GT XP as follows:
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses
with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any
visible deposits.
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household
ammonia* (contains 3% active ingredient) for every 100
gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the
cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill
the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank
and hoses for at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and
nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain
the tank.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
bucket containing cleaning agent and water.
4.
Repeat step 2.
5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution
may be applied back to the crop(s) recommended on this
label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If
other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for
rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given,
dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste
disposal facility.
* Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution
or a DuPont-approved cleaner can be used in the cleanout
