`
`ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
`AND BIOLOGICALACTIVITY
`
`ASSURE II is a systemic herbicide that is rapidly absorbed by
`treated foliage and translocated to the roots and other growing
`points ofthe plant. When affected, younger plant tissues become
`chlorotic/necrotic and eventually die, leaving treated plants
`stunted and noncompetitive. In general, these symptomsarefirst
`
`observed within 7 to 14 daysafter application depending on the
`grass species treated and the environmental conditions.
`The degree of control and duration ofthe effect ofASSURE II
`depend upon the rate used, weed spectrum, weed size and
`variability, growing conditions at and following treatment, soil
`moisture, precipitation, tank mixtures, and spray
`adjuvantused.
`Conditions conduciveto healthy, actively growing plants
`optimize the performance ofASSURE II. Unacceptable control
`may occur ifASSURE II is applied to grasses stressed from :
`* abnormal weather (excessive heat or cold, or widely
`fluctuating temperatures),
`* hail damage,
`* drought,
`* water saturated soils,
`* mechanical injury, or
`* prior herbicide injury.
`Grasses under these conditions are often less sensitive to
`herbicide activity. Delay application until the stress passes and
`weeds and crop resume growth.
`Before making applications AssureII to crops previously under
`stress, or injured from other pesticide applications, the crop
`needsto be fully recovered and growing vigorously.
`ASSURE II is rainfast 1 hour after application.
`
`APPLICATION INFORMATION
`
`Agricultural Uses
`DuPont ASSURE®II Herbicideis a selective postemergence
`herbicide that controls annual and perennial grassesin canola,
`crambe,cotton, dry beans, dry and succulent peas, lentils, mint
`(spearmint and peppermint), snap beans, soybeans, sugarbeets,
`and noncrop areas. ASSURE II does not control sedges or
`broadleafweeds. Applied at recommendedrates and timings,
`ASSURE II controls the grasses listed in the “Weeds Controlled
`and Rate Selection” chart. See PRECAUTIONSfor seasonal
`
`use limits, and harvest intervals for the specific crop.
`
`Pre-plant Burndown
`DuPont ASSURE II Herbicide may be applied as an early
`preplant burndown treatmentfor the control of small
`foxtails, fall panicum, barnyardgrass, volunteer corn,
`shattercane, and wild proso millet prior to planting crops
`includedin this label, or supplementallabels.
`Apply ASSURE II as directed below using 2.5 to 5.0 ounces per
`acre. Applications must be made before grasses begin to tiller.

`

`Non-Agricultural Uses
`
`Non-Crop Areas
`
`ASSURE II is recommended for postemergence control of
`certain grasses on noncropsites such as fence rows,
`roadsides, equipment storage areas, and other similar areas.
`
`Makea single application ofASSURE II at a rate of 12 to
`16 ouncesperacre to actively growing grasses.
`
`Non-Crop Areas- to aid in establishment of Wildflowers
`Since ASSURE II controls manygrasses but not most
`broadleafplants, it may be used to enhance establishment
`and growth of certain broadleafplants on non-cropsites
`(that is, plants identified as “wildflowers” such as indian
`blanket, cone flowers, bachelor button, dwarf cornflower,
`coreopsis, white yarrow, oxeye daisy, dames-rocket, blue
`flax, eveningprimrose, blackeyed-susan, marigolds,
`impatiens, bluebonnet, indian paintbrush, verbena,
`gaillardia, chrysanthemum,catchfly and scarlet
`pimpernel).
`Forthis use refer to use rates in the Weeds Controlled
`area ofthis label, and not the rates in the NON-CROP
`Section above.
`
`Application Timing
`
`Crop and Non-Crop Uses
`Apply ASSURE II to young,actively growing grasses
`according to the rate chart that follows.Ifa field is to be
`irrigated, apply ASSURE IIafter the irrigation. Applications
`madeto grassesthat are larger thanthe sizeslisted in the
`rate charts or to grasses understress mayresult in unsatis-
`factory control.
`
`Pre-Plant Burndown
`
`ASSURE IJ Alone: Application ofASSURE II may be
`madeat any time after emergenceofgrasses up to planting.
`
`ASSURE II + CANOPY/CANOPYXL: A tank mix of
`ASSURE II plus CANOPY or CANOPY XL maybe
`applied after emergence ofgrasses, up to and including the
`planting of soybeans (refer to CANOPY/CANOPY XL
`labeling for application timing).
`
`ASSURE II + CANOPY/CANOPYXL + 2, 4-D (LVE):
`This three-way tank mix must be applied a minimum of7 to
`30 days prior to soybean planting. The rate of 2,4-D (LVE)
`will determine the minimum interval prior to planting.
`Refer to the 2,4-D (LVE), CANOPY and CANOPY XL
`labeling for application information.
`
`ASSURE II + 2,4-D (LVE): A tank mix ofASSURE II plus
`2,4-D (LVE) may be madeany time after emergence of
`grasses, but must be applied a minimum of7 to 30 days
`prior to planting of soybeans. The rate of 2,4-D (LVE) will
`determine the minimum interval priorto planting. Refer to
`the 2,4-D (LVE)label for information on the preplant
`interval.
`
`SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS
`
`Donot exceed the maximum userate per acre per year, as
`specified for the specific crop (see Precautions section:
`Seasonaluse limits).
`
`Annual Grasses
`
`In the event of a subsequentflush of grass, or regrowth of
`previously treated grass occurs, a second application of
`ASSURE II may beapplied. Select the appropriate rate for
`the grassy weed from the “Weeds Controlled - Rate
`selection”chart.
`
`Perennial Grasses
`
`If perennial grasses regrow, reapply ASSURE IIat 6-7
`ounces of product per acre. Application timing should be as
`follows: bermudagrass (3”tall or up to 6” runners), rhizome
`johnsongrass (6”-10”), quackgrass (4”-8”), wirestem muhly
`(4”-8”).
`
`SPRAYADDITIVES
`
`ALWAYS INCLUDE A SPRAY ADJUVANT WITH
`APPLICATIONS OF ASSURE II.
`
`Note: For additional information, refer to the DuPontbulletin
`“Approved Adjuvants for Use with DuPont Row Crop
`and Cereal Herbicides”.
`
`Avoid products that do not accurately list their contents
`on the product label.
`Crop Oil Concentrates
`¢ Petroleum-based crop oil concentrates containing a minimum
`of 80% oils and 15% emulsifiers/surfactants is recommended,
`andis the preferred adjuvant in arid areas.
`¢ Because they may not perform as well as petroleum-based
`crop oil concentrates, methylated seed oils are not the
`preferred adjuvant.
`¢ Apply at 1 gal ofproduct per 100 gal of spray solution
`(1.0% v/v).
`Note - In Soybeans up to 2 gals ofproductper 100 gal of spray
`solution (2.0 % v/v) may be used based onlocal
`recommendations.
`
`- For Aerial application apply 2 qts ofproduct per 100 gal
`of spray solution (0.5 % v/v).
`
`Nonionic surfactants
`
`¢ Use only adjuvants containing a minimum concentration of
`50% actual nonionic surfactant.
`
`¢ Apply at 1 qt ofproduct per 100 gal of spray solution
`(0.25% v/v).
`
`Fertilizers
`
`e An ammonium nitrogenfertilizer such as 28-0-0 (2-4 qt/A) or
`sprayable grade ammonium sulfate (21-0-0 at 2 - 4 Ib/A) may
`be added to the spray mix, but is not required to optimize
`performanceofthis product.
`¢ Fertilizers will not replace the need for nonionic surfactant or
`crop oil concentrate.

`

`Rhizome Johnsongrass- Southern States
`For control of rhizome johnsongrassin the states of
`Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland,
`Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, a
`reduced rate ofASSURE II maybeusedif applied in a
`sequential application program as follows:
`1. Apply ASSURE II at 5 ounces per acre when
`johnsongrassis 10”-24”tall.
`2. Apply ASSURE II a second time at 5 ounces per acre
`when johnsongrass regrowth is 6”-10”tall.
`Do not apply ASSURE II in a tank mix with postemergence
`broadleaf herbicides when using this reducedrate,
`sequential application program.
`
`TANK MIXES
`
`Refer to the labels ofall tank mix products for information
`regarding use information (suchasrates, timing, application
`information, and sprayer cleanup) and product precautions
`andrestrictions (especially adjuvants - ASSURE II requires
`the use of an adjuvant). The mostrestrictive provisions
`apply. If those recommendations conflict with this label, do
`not tank mix the herbicide with ASSURE II.
`
`DuPont also recommendsthat you first consult your state
`experimentstation, university, or extension agent,
`Agricultural dealer, or DuPont representative as to the
`potential for any adverse interactions (resulting in
`unacceptable grass control and/or crop injury) before using
`newherbicide, insecticide and fungicide mixtures. If no
`information is available, limit the initial use ofASSURE II
`and the new herbicide, insecticide or fungicide product to a
`small area.
`
`Alwaysconducta jar test to evaluate physical compatibility
`before applying a particular mixture to cropsfor thefirst
`time.
`
`Application With Insecticides and Fungicides
`ASSURE II may be tank mixed with postemergence
`insecticides registered for use in the specific crop (such as
`DuPont ASANA® XL Insecticide, DuPont LANNATE®
`Insecticide, DuPont LANNATE®LV Insecticide, DuPont
`VYDATE® C-LV Insecticide, and DuPont VYDATE® L
`Insecticide).
`ASSURE II maybe tank mixed with postemergence
`fungicides and bactericides (such as DuPont BENLATE®
`Fungicide, and Copper containing products) registered for
`use in the specific crop.
`
`Application With Broadleaf Herbicides
`Forbest results, apply ASSURE II alone or in sequence with
`a broadleaf herbicide(s). Tank mixes ofASSURE II with
`postemergence broadleaf herbicides have shown some
`reduction in control of most grass species andfailure to
`control certain grass species normally controlled by
`ASSURE II used alone. Activity of the postemergence
`broadleaf herbicide in the tank mixtureis not affected.
`
`Split Applications with Postemergence
`Broadleaf Herbicides
`
`Applying ASSURE II immediately priorto or following
`an application of a postemergence broadleaf herbicide
`may reduce control of some grasses. For best results, follow
`these recommendations when makingsplit applications:
`¢ Apply postemergence broadleafherbicidesat least
`24 hours after applying ASSURE II.
`e Apply ASSURE II whengrass begins to develop new
`leaves (generally 7 days after the postemergence
`broadleaf herbicide application) in fields treated with a
`postemergence broadleaf herbicide.
`
`Dry Beans - Tank Mixes Basagrarn’
`When tank mixing ASSURE II with “Basagran”, annual
`grass antagonism can be minimized by increasing the
`recommendedrate ofASSURE II by 2 ounces. Perennial
`grasses may require a sequential application for acceptable
`control.
`
`Soybeans- Tank Mixes with Postemergence
`Broadleaf Herbicides
`
`ASSURE II can be tank mixed with postemergent soybean
`broadleaf herbicides such as DuPont CLASSIC® Herbicide,
`CLASSIC + PINNACLE, DuPont CONCERT®Herbicide,
`DuPont CONCERT? SP Herbicide, DuPont PINNACLE®
`Herbicide, DuPont RELIANCE™STS®Herbicide and
`DuPont SYNCHRONY?STS® Herbicide or “Basagran” for
`use on soybeans to control broadleaf weeds and selected
`grasses.

`treat plants on a spray-to-wet basis to ensure good
`coverage.
`
`CULTIVATION
`
`A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed
`weeds, weeds that were beyond the maximum size at
`application, or weeds that emerge after an application of
`ASSURE IL.
`
`Cultivation up to 7 days before the postemergence
`application ofASSURE II may decrease weed control by
`pruning weedroots, placing the weeds understress, or
`covering the weeds with soil and preventing coverage by
`ASSURE II.
`
`To allow ASSURE IIto fully control treated weeds,
`cultivation is not recommended for 7 days after application.
`Optimum timing for cultivation is 7 - 14 days after a
`postemergence application ofASSURE II.
`
`CROP ROTATION
`
`Do notrotate to crops other than Canola ,Cotton, Crambe,
`Dry Beans, Lentils, Mint (Spearmint and Peppermint), Peas
`(Dry and Succulent Peas), Snap Beans, Soybeans, or
`Sugarbeets within 120 days after application.
`
`GRAZING
`
`Donot graze livestock in treated areas. In addition, do not
`feed forage, hay, or straw from treated areasto livestock.
`
`APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
`¢ See SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENTsection for
`additional information and precautions.
`Ground Application
`BroadcastApplication
`Useflat fan or hollow cone nozzles at 25-60 psi.
`¢ Do notuse flood, rain drop, whirl chamber, or any other
`nozzle types that produce coarse, large spray droplets. In
`addition, do not use controlled droplet applicator (CDA)
`type nozzles as poor weed control or excessive spray drift
`mayresult.
`¢ Use a minimum of 10 gal of water per acre in nonarid
`areas.
`
`Use a minimum of 15 gal of water per acre in arid areas.
`Do not exceed 40 gal of water per acre.
`Increase spray volume and pressure as weed or crop
`density and size increase.
`
`BandApplication
`Because band application equipment sprays a narrower
`area than broadcast application equipment, calibrate
`equipment to use proportionately less spray solution.
`To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band
`applicator not to exceed the labeled rate.
`Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
`nozzle type, nozzle orientation, distance of the nozzles
`from the crop and weeds, spray volumes,calibration, and
`spray pressure.
`For additional information on row banders see DuPont
`bulletin, “Application Accuracy - Row Banders”.
`
`Aerial Application
`¢ Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum
`spray distribution and maximum coverage.
`¢ Use a minimum of 3 gal of water per acre in nonarid
`areas.
`
`¢ Use a minimum of 5 gal of water per acre in arid areas.
`
`MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
`
`1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
`
`2. While agitating, add the required amount ofASSURE II.
`IfASSURE II and a tank mix partnerare to be applied
`together, consult the tank mix partner label for
`information on which should be added first (normally
`granules and powdersare addedfirst).
`3. Continue agitation until the ASSURE IIis fully dispersed,
`at least 5 minutes.
`
`4. Once the ASSURE II is fully dispersed, maintain
`agitation and continue filling tank with water.
`5. Asthe tank isfilling, add the required volumeof spray
`additives, always add these to the spray tank last.
`6. Apply ASSURE II spray mixture within a reasonable
`period of time of mixing to avoid product degradation
`(24 to 48 hrs). If the spray mixture stands for any period
`of time, thoroughly re-agitate before using.

`

`SPRAYER CLEANUP
`
`Notes:
`
`The spray equipment must be cleaned before ASSURE I] 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 After Spraying
`ASSURE IL.
`It is very important that any buildup of dried
`pesticide deposits which have accumulated in the
`application equipment be removedprior to spraying
`ASSURE IL. Steam-cleaning spray tanks to facilitate the
`removalof any caked deposits of previously applied
`products will help prevent accidental crop injury.
`
`At the End of the Day
`It is recommendedthat during periods when multiple loads
`ofASSURE II 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 ASSUREI! and Before
`Spraying Crops Other Than ThoseListed in
`the Crop Rotation Section
`
`To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops,
`thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
`immediately following applications ofASSURE II 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) 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. Removethe 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 Ammoniais used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may
`be applied back to the crop(s) recommended onthis label. Do
`not exceed the maximum labeled userate. If other cleaners
`are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal
`instructions. Ifno instructions are given, dispose ofthe rinsate
`onsite or at an approved waste disposal facility.
`*Equivalent amounts ofan alternate-strength ammonia
`solution or a DuPont-approved cleaner can be used in the
`cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual
`cleaner instructions. Consult your Ag dealer, applicator, or
`DuPontrepresentative for a listing of approved cleaners.
`
`1. CAUTION:Donotuse chlorine bleach with ammonia as
`dangerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an
`enclosedarea.
`
`2. Steam-cleaning spray tanks is recommended priorto
`performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate the
`removal of any caked deposits.
`3. When ASSURE II is tank mixed with otherpesticides, all
`cleanout procedures should be examined and the most
`rigorous procedure should be followed.
`4, In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout
`guidelines on subsequently applied products should be
`followedas per the individual labels.
`5. Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment
`frequently being switched between applications ofASSURE
`II and applications of other pesticides to ASSURE II-sensitive
`crops during the same spray season, it is recommendedthat a
`sprayer be dedicated to ASSURE II to further reduce the
`chanceofcrop injury.
`
`SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
`
`The interaction ofmany equipment and weather-related factors
`determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is
`responsible for consideringall these factors when making
`application decisions.
`AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
`THE APPLICATOR.
`
`IMPORTANCE OF DROPLETSIZE
`The mosteffective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large
`droplets (>150 - 200 microns). The best drift management
`strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
`coverage and control. The presenceofsensitive species nearby,
`the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how
`an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING
`LARGER DROPLETS REDUCESDRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT
`WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE
`MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE
`ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind,
`Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions
`sections ofthis label.
`
`Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
`¢ Volume- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
`practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
`produce larger droplets.
`Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended
`for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
`does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER
`FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED,USE A HIGHER-
`CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING
`PRESSURE.
`Nozzle Type- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
`intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
`spray angles producelarger droplets. Consider using low-
`drift nozzles.

`Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
`¢ Numberof Nozzles - Use the minimum numberof
`nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform
`coverage.
`Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray
`is emitted backwards,parallel to the airstream will
`produce larger droplets than other orientations.
`Nozzle Type- Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core
`with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce
`larger droplets than other nozzle types.
