RT 3 Herbicide

Herbicide
RT 3® herbicide contains up to 50 percent higher glyphosate concentration than most generics to control more acres per gallon. RT 3 herbicide has shown reliable, consistent performance on tough-to-control weeds, such as non-glyphosate resistant Russian thistle and kochia.

Use and Mixing

The instructions for use and mixing described below are from the Environmental Protection Agency approved Federal Label. Always read and follow label instructions. Not all products are registered for use in every state.

      MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
      Tank-Mixing Procedure: Always predetermine the compatibility of all tank-mix products together in the carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Mix only the quantity of spray solution that will be applied that day. Application of tank-mix solutions that are allowed to stand overnight could result in reduced weed control. Prepare tank mixtures of this product as follows: 1. Place a 20 to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over the filling port of the tank. 2. Through the screen, fill the tank one-half full with water and start gentle agitation. 3. If ammonium sulfate is to be added, add it slowly through the screen into the tank and continue adding water into the tank through the screen. If dry ammonium sulfate is being used, ensure that it is completely dissolved in the tank before adding other products. 4. If a wettable powder is to be added, first prepare a slurry of it with water and add it SLOWLY through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 5. If a flowable formulation is to be added, premix one part flowable with one part water and add the diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 6. If an emulsifiable concentrate formulation is to be added, premix one part emulsifiable concentrate with two parts water and add the diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank while continuing gentle agitation. 7. Continue filling the tank with water through the screen and add the required amount of this product near the end of the filling process. 8. Add individual tank-mix components to the tank in the following order: wettable powders, flowables, emulsifiable concentrates, drift control additives, water soluble liquids (this product). Maintain gentle agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed out. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, agitate thoroughly to re-suspend the mixture before resuming application. Keep by-pass and return lines on or near the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. A 50-mesh nozzle screen or line strainer on the spray equipment is adequate.
      Reentry PPE
      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, wear: coveralls, socks and shoes, and waterproof gloves.
      PPE
      Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Mixers, Loaders, Applicators and Other Handlers, when handling this concentrated product or its application solutions of 30 percent concentration or greater, must wear: long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes, and waterproof gloves. Applicators, when handling only spray solutions where concentration is 30 percent of this product or less, must wear: long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). If there are no instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft 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. IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
      Tankmix Compatibility
      Mixing with Water: PERFORMANCE OF THIS PRODUCT CAN BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED IF WATER CONTAINING SOIL SEDIMENT IS USED AS CARRIER. DO NOT MIX THIS PRODUCT WITH WATER FROM PONDS OR DITCHES THAT IS VISIBLY MUDDY OR MURKY. This product mixes readily with water. Mix spray solutions of this product as follows. Begin filling the mixing tank or spray tank with clean water. Add the required amount of this product near the end of the filling process and mix gently. Foaming of the spray solution can occur during mixing. To prevent or minimize foaming, mix gently, terminate bypass and return lines at the bottom of the tank and, if necessary, add an appropriate anti-foam or defoaming agent to the spray solution. Tank Mixtures: This product does not provide residual weed control. This product may be tank-mixed with other herbicides to provide residual weed control in the soil, a broader weed control spectrum, or an alternate mechanism of action. Some tank-mix products have the potential to cause crop injury under certain conditions, at certain growth stages and/or under other circumstances. Read the label of all products to be used in the tank mixture prior to use to determine the potential for crop injury. Tank mixtures with other herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, micronutrients or foliar fertilizers could result in reduced weed control or crop injury. Bayer CropScience has not tested all tank-mix product formulations for compatibility, antagonism or reduction in product performance. To the extent consistent with applicable law, buyer and all users are responsible for any and all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of mixtures of this product with herbicides or other materials that are not expressly specified on this label, or on separate Supplemental Labeling or Fact Sheets published for this product. When a tank-mix with a generic active ingredient, such as 2,4-D, atrazine, dicamba, diuron, pendimethalin, or any other product or material, is listed on this label, it is the responsibility of the pesticide user to ensure that the intended use is included on the label of each product added to the mix. Refer to all individual product labels, supplemental labeling and Fact Sheets for all products in the tank mixture and observe all precautions and limitations on the label, including any application timing restrictions, soil restrictions, minimum re-cropping intervals and/or crop rotation restrictions. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. For optimal overall weed control, apply tank mixtures with this product at a minimum spray volume rate of 10 gallons per acre.
