Environmental Hazards information. to 1") is not received within 7 to 10 days after the Gauntlet treatment, a shal-
low cultivation may be needed to obtain desired weed control. When suffi-
CAUTION cient moisture is received after dry conditions, Gauntlet will provide control
of susceptible germinating weeds.
Gauntlet exhibits excellent crop safety. Poor growing conditions, such as
excessive moisture, cool temperatures, and soil compaction or the pres-
ence of various pathogens may impact seedling vigor. Under these con-
ditions, the active ingredients in Gauntlet, like other soil-applied herbi-
cides, can contribute to crop response. However, these early symptoms
are short-lived. Early crop response has not resulted in yield reductions
in research trials.
Observe all instructions, crop restrictions, mixing directions, application pre-
cautions, replanting directions, rotational crop guidelines and other label
information of each product when tank mixing with Gauntlet.

RUNOFF AND WIND EROSION PRECAUTIONS Gauntlet tank mixtures immediately after mixing. Do not store tank mixtures.
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of
soil containing Gauntlet to non-target areas. To prevent off-site
movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
鈥? Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface
should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
鈥? Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly com-
pacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered ground.
鈥? Do not apply to soils when saturated with water.
鈥? Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated
fields to treat non target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has
occurred between application and the first irrigation.
