 NOTICE TO USER



 This control product is to be used only in accordance with the directions on this label. It is an

 offence under the Pest Control Products Act to use a control product under unsafe conditions.



 NATURE OF RESTRICTION: This product is to be used only in the manner authorized, consult

 local pesticide regulatory authorities about use permits which may be required.



 RESTRICTED USES



 For the control of water weeds such as Coontail (Ceratophyllum sp), Duckweed (Lemna sp),

 Canada Water Weed (Elodea, Anacharis sp), Pondweeds (Potamogeton sp), and Water

 Milfoil (Myriophyllum sp) in still or slow flowing water of farm dugouts, farm ponds, farm

 ditches, lakes and canals, apply REWARD at 18.3 L/ha (1 ha = 10,000 m2 or 100 m x 100 m).

 1.9 litres of REWARD will treat a farm dugout 25 m x 50 m. Milfoil may be controlled at 9.2

 L/ha in the early stages of growth. For the control of growing weeds in 1.5 m of water or less,

 use 18.3 L/ha of REWARD. For the control of growing weeds in more than 1.5 m of water,

 apply 25-29.2 L/ha of REWARD.



 Algae: Cladophora, Spirogyra, and Pithophora sp. will be temporarily controlled at the above

 rates. Repeat treatments may be required for full season control of these species. REWARD

 will not control Chara (Stonewort, Muskgrass). REWARD, after suitable dilution with clean

 water, may be injected below the water surface, sprayed over the water surface or poured

 directly onto the surface while moving over the surface in a boat, or may be applied from the

 banks of small bodies of water.



 To inject below the water surface, a suction type of boat bailer is mounted on the cavitation

 plate of an outboard motor and the end of the inlet tube inserted into a solution containing 1 part

 REWARD diluted with at least 10 parts of clean water. Make lines of travel at regular intervals

 through the water (3 m or less apart) over the area to be treated until the whole area has

 received a uniform application.



 For Surface application, dilute 1 part REWARD with at least 4 parts clean water and spray

 over water surface, pour directly onto water surface or apply from the banks of small bodies of

 water.



 Timing of Application: Apply only after weeds are visible and in an active stage of growth

 which is normally sometime in late May through June as growth is dependent on water

 temperatures. Application should be made to actively growing weeds before they become so

 thick that they make application difficult. Application to dense growth of mature weeds will

 not give satisfactory control.

Approved Pamphlet REWARD 26271 06-02-22                                                   Page 3 of 7









 Repeat treatments may be required if weed growth reappears. For temporary control of water

 weeds growing above the surface of the water, such as waterlilies, uniformly spray with

 REWARD at 9.2 to 26.7 L in 1700 to 2200 L of water per hectare to thoroughly wet the foliage.

 Use AGRAL® 90 at 1 L per 1000 L of water. For the control of cattails, bulrushes and grass, use

 GRAMOXONE®.



 LIMITATIONS



 In some provinces of Canada permits are required before chemicals such as REWARD can be

 added to water. Consult local authorities before applying REWARD to ascertain whether such a

 permit is required in your area. Do not use treated water for at least 24 hours after treatment for

 swimming and animal consumption. For human consumption and irrigation do not use for at

 least 5 days after treatment. To protect the fish in small lakes and ponds with a dense weed

 growth, treat not more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the area at one time, otherwise the dying weeds over a

 large area will cause a serious loss of oxygen which may injure or kill the fish. Do not apply to

 muddy water and do not agitate water excessively during 1 or 2 days after treatment or the

 effectiveness of the chemical will be reduced. Use clean water for diluting the chemical.



 Do not use wetting agents for water treatment, except as specified. Avoid application or drift

 onto crops, ornamental plants, lawns, grazing areas or other desirable growth. Do not apply

 through mist blowers.



 It is important to thoroughly wash equipment after spraying - use a detergent or wetting agent

 (AGRAL 90 at 60 mL per 100 L of water), flush and spray out, then thoroughly rinse with clean

 water. When possible, the equipment should be filled with clean water and left overnight.

 Spray out before storing equipment or using for other materials.





DIRECTIONS FOR USE



Weed Control in Non-Crop Land and Chemical Mowing - Apply 2.3 to 4.5 litres in a minimum of

225 litres per hectare of water. Use the higher rate and higher water volumes for dense weed

growth. Maximum solution strength should not exceed 200 mL REWARD in 10 litres water.

Thoroughly wet all foliage. Avoid spray mist contacting the foliage or green bark of desirable plants.



REWARD will provide a rapid top-kill of weeds and grasses when applied as a foliar spray.

REWARD may be added to tank mixes of certain soil sterilants where immediate top-kill and long

term soil sterilization is required. The combined use with soil sterilants should be based on

previous experimental experience, and recommendations on the label of the residual herbicide.





PRODUCT INFORMATION



REWARD is a non-volatile fast acting herbicide for the control of water weeds and when used as

directed, presents no hazard to fish, other aquatic life or animals and humans making use of the

treated water within the limitations prescribed. Control of susceptible weeds generally occurs within

1 to 2 weeks.

Approved Pamphlet REWARD 26271 06-02-22                                                  Page 4 of 7





REWARD is inactivated upon contact with soil, mud or lake bottoms. Therefore, it has no residual

herbicidal effect.





FIRST AID



IN CASE OF POISONING, contact a physician or a poison control centre IMMEDIATELY. Take

container, label or product name and Pest Control Product Registration Number with you when

seeking medical attention.



If swallowed, induce vomiting. Get to nearest hospital FAST. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. If delay

unavoidable, administer fluids and induce further vomiting and contact a poison control centre.



If in eyes, flush with clean water for 15 minutes and get medical attention, even if no irritation

arises.



If on skin, wash thoroughly with water immediately. Remove contaminated clothing immediately;

wash separately from household laundry before re-use.





TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION



If swallowed, give stomach wash-out and test urine and gastric aspirate for diquat. If positive, give

up to 1 litre of adsorbent suspension (activated charcoal) mixed with a purgative (MgSO4, Na2SO4

or mannitol). Repeat administration of adsorbent suspension every 2 hours for first 24 hours and

every 4 hours for the next 24 hours, plus purgatives as required. Maintain and monitor electrolyte

and fluid status daily. Consider haemodialysis or haemoperfusion, using charcoal column. Delay

oxygen as long as possible.



If in eyes, treat symptomatically, using antibiotics and steroids as necessary.





PRECAUTIONS



EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO DIQUAT MAY CAUSE A HEALTH HAZARD. FOLLOWING THE

DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE EXPOSURE.



Wear long-sleeve liquid proof gloves, goggles, coveralls and a liquid proof apron while mixing and

loading. Most exposure to pesticides is by adsorption through skin, especially from the handling of

concentrated material at the time of mixing and loading. Since most of this exposure is on the

hands and forearms, use of long-sleeve liquid-proof gloves will reduce exposure substantially.

Rolling down the sleeve end of the glove will prevent drips of liquid from running down the glove

onto your arm.



When using large spray tanks, if the concentrate splashes onto the side of the tank and you

subsequently lean against the tank, the clothing and skin above the abdomen will be exposed to

REWARD concentrate. Use of a liquid proof apron will reduce this likelihood. If clothing becomes

contaminated, REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING IMMEDIATELY and wash separately from

other household laundry as soon as possible before re-use. Do not leave wet contaminated

clothing in contact with skin for extended periods. WASH SPLASHES of concentrate from skin and

eyes immediately (refer to FIRST AID section). REWARD is irritating to eyes. Always use goggles

and/or a face shield. AVOID WORKING IN SPRAY MIST. If necessary, wear an approved face

mask and eyeshield.



WASH hands and face thoroughly after spraying and before smoking or taking meals.



DO NOT CONTAMINATE feeds, foodstuffs or water supplies.

Resistance-Management Recommendations



For resistance management, REWARD is a Group 22 herbicide. Any weed population may contain

or develop plants naturally resistant to REWARD and other Group 22 herbicides. The resistant

biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same

field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual

chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management

strategies should be followed.



To delay herbicide resistance:



Where possible, rotate the use of REWARD or other Group 22 herbicides with different herbicide

groups that control the same weeds in a field.



Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted.



Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information

related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural,

biological and other chemical control practices.



Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development. Prevent movement of resistant weed

seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment and planting clean seed.



Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide

resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops
