Do not allow sprays to drift on to adjacent desirable plants.
Observe all cautions and limitations on labeling of all
products used in mixtures.
Ground Water: Flufenacet is known to leach through soil
into ground water under certain conditions as a result of
label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in ground--water contamination.
Surface Waler: Flufenacet residues can contaminate
surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions,
they also have high potential for runoff into surface water
(primarily via dissolution in runoff water or erOSion), for
several to many months post-application. These include
poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward
adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas
over-laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with
infield canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter
strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain
to surface water.
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of
any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells),
sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and
natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback
does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned
wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked
mixing I loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing
of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are
prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad
constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that
may be posijioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad
shall be designed and maintained to contain any product
spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or
washwater, and rainwater that may fall on- the pad. Surface
water shall not be aHowed to either flow over or from the
pad, which means the pad must be self contained. The pad
shall be sloped to facilijate material removal. An unroofed
pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum
110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by
a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation
from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment
capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pestiCide
container or application equipment on the pad. Containment
capacities as described above shall be maintained at all
times. The above specific minimum containment capacities
do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments
to the mixing floading sije. States may have in effect
additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and
operational containment.
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent
back siphoning in wefls, spills or improper disposal of excess
pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
Tile Terraced Fields Containing Standpipes
To ensure the protection of surface water from run-off
through standpipes and tile outlets in terraced fields,
one of the following options may be used:
Do not apply this product within 66 feet of standpipes in

GENERAL INFORMATION
AXIOM AT is a selective herbicide for control of many
important annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in field com
and com grown for silage. AXIOM AT is formulated as a 75%
water dispersible granule (OF). AXIOM AT may be used in
either conventional, conservation or no-tillage crop
management systems and may be applied preplant surface,
preplant incorporated (mix into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of
soil) and preemergence. AXIOM AT will provide its most
effective weed control when applied and subsequently
moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or
mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence. AXIOM AT has
multiple modes of actions: inhibition of protein synthesis/cell
division and inhibition of photosynthesis.
AXIOM AT may be applied using either water or sprayable
grade fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier or may be impregnated
on dry bulk fertilizer.
AXIOM AT may be applied either alone or in tank mix
combination with additional herbicides. When tank mixing,
always observe all precautionary statements and limilations
on labeling of all products.
GENERAL USE RESTRICTIONS
AXIOM AT is intended for use on field corn for grain or
silage. Do not use on popcorn or sweetcorn.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation
system.
Do not apply aerially.
Do not apply more than 3.951 pounds AXIOM AT per use
season.
Do not apply AXIOM AT or AXIOM AT tank mixtures when
environmental conditions may favor drift to non-target sites.
This product may not be applied within 66 feet of the points
where field surface water run-off enters perennial or
intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 feet around
natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is
applied to highly erodible land, the 66 foot buffer or set-back
from run-off points must be planted to crop or seeded with
grass or other suitable crop.
Avoid spray overlap, as crop damage may result.
If the com crop treated with AXIOM AT is lost, only com may
be replanted immediately. QQ!1Ql make a second
application of AXIOM AT.

RATE SELECTION/SOIL TEXTURE
The recommended rates of AXIOM AT are defined by texture
and organic matter content of the soil being treated. Unless
a specific soil texture is mentioned, rate tables throughout
this label refer to the following three soil texture groups:
coarse, medium and fine. If you a[1l not sure how to classify
your soil, contact your Bayer Corporation representative, the
Cooperative Extension Service or other knowledgeable
person. The following chart includes a complete listing of

AXIOM AT is a dry ftowable herbici~ that must be mixed in
water or sprayable fluid fertilizer. AXIOM AT can be directly
added to water, or 28-0·0 or 32·0-0 liquid fertilizers.
Compatibility of AXIOM AT with its labeled tank mix products,
or other liquid carriers should always be predetermined prior
to spraying. Refer to the COMPATIBILITY TEST (Appendix
I) of this label to determine product compatibility in fluid
fertilizer carriers.
Before mixing AXIOM AT and its labeled tank mixtures,
examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely
free of rust and corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of
any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush the
lines with dean water or recommended detergents after the
last application. Use an approved method for disposing of
rinsate.
For optimal spray tank mixing convenience and efficiency,
AXIOM AT is recommended to be added to the spray tank
via an eductor system. /
The proper mixing sequence for AXIOM AT and
recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid
carrier is as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse.ta~k 114 full with the
appropriate liquid carrier. .. .
2. SIart the recirculation and agitation system and
conIiooe throughout mixing and application.
3. If the compatibility test indicates the need of a
co ....... bility agent, add the recommended amount to
the spray tank.
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it: ~~...;,. J

sprayable grade fertilizer.
7. If tank mixing with suspension concentrates, add the
product to the spray tank.
8. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates, add the
products to the spray tank.
9. If tank mixing with Gramoxone Extra®, a glyphosate
containing product, Touchdown®, or soluble
concentrates, add the products to the spray tank.
10.lf mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, add them after
all other products have been mixed.
11. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the
appropriate liquid carrier.
12. Continue agitation during transport and application until
the spray tank is empty.
AXIOM AT and all registered mixtures should be kept
agitated once mixed and then sprayed out immediately. Do
not allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time.
Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of
the mixture may affect how long the mixture may stand
before application.
DRY FERTILIZER CARRIERS:
AXIOM AT may be impregnated or coated on dry bulk
fertilizers for application. Refer to Appendix II of this label for
details.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPRAYER APPLICATION
Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the
sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply
AXIOM AT and the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10
gallons of total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom
equipment. Use a pump with capacity to maintain 30 to 40
psi at the nozzles, maintain adequate in-tank agitation to
keep the spray mixture in suspension and provide a
minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Application must be
made at a sufficient spray pressure and volume to provide
accurate and uniform application of spray particles to a given
area without causing spray drift to non-target areas. If mixed
with other labeled herbicides, the spray volume may be no
less than the minimum volume recommended by the tank
mix product or 10 gallons, whichever is greater. The use of
screens to protect the pump and nozzles is recommended.
Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be
16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the
recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between
the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles.
Refer to the nozzle manufacturer for additional
recommendations. Agitate thoroughly before and during
application with either bypass or mechanical agitation. Rinse
the sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after
each use.
Band Treatment: AXIOM AT and the labeled tank mixtures
may be applied as a band treatment. Use the following
formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band
treatments:
Band width in inches X Broadcast rate :: Band rate
Row width in inches per acre per acre
DRY FERTILIZER APPLICATION
Apply using a minimum of 200 Ib of dry fertilizer per acre.
See Appendix II for additional details.

APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMINGS
AXIOM AT may be applied alone, or in tank mixtures or
sequentially with certain other registered and recommended
herbicides. Applications may be made preplant surface,
preplant incorporated or preemergence. Do not apply when
environmental conditions favor drill
Preplant Surface: For use in conservation, minimum or ne­
tillage crop production systems, AXIOM AT alone or as a
recommended tank mixture may be applied as a broadcast
spray up to 45 days before planting corn. If earty preplant
applications are used (15 to 45 days before planting), use
the highest recommended label rate for the specific soil type
(Table 1). Early preplant applications are not recommended
for those areas with coarse textured soils or in areas
receiving in excess of 40 inches annual precipitation
(rainfallflrrigation). A split application is recommended for
applications made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, where 2/3
of the rate is applied initially and the remaining 113 is applied
at planting. Treatments made less than 30 days before
planting may use either a single or split application. If weeds
are present at the time of application, AXIOM AT may be
tankmixed with a recommended nOnselective herbicide such
as Gramoxone Extra, Touchdown, or a glyphosate-containing
product. Observe directions for use, precautions and
restrictions on the label of the nonselective herbicide. If
possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move
untreated soil to the soil surface during planting, as weed
control may be reduced.
Preplant Incorporation: Apply AXIOM AT alone or in tank
mixed combinations with other recommended herbicides as
a broadcast spray and incorporate into the upper 1 to 2
inches of the soil surface up to 14 days before planting.
Avoid deep incorporation since reduced weed control and/or
crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which
provide uniform, shallow incorporation (Example- field
cultivator, finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.)
Preemergence: AXIOM AT alone and its recommended tank
mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a broadcast
spray or band application after planting of the crop but prior
to weed or crop emergence. Ensure that the seed furrow is
closed prior to herbicide application or crop injury may result.
If weeds are present at the time of application, apply AXIOM
AT with a nonselective herbicide s",ch as Gramoxone Extra,
Touchdown, or a glyphosate-contatning product. Observe
directions for use, precautions and restrictions on the label of
the nonselective herbicide. Rainfall and/or overhead
sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move AXIOM AT into the
upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. Dry
weather conditions following application may reduce weed
control. If adequate moisture is not received "",tHin 7, to 1 0
days after application and weeds begin to emerge 'flom the
soil, a light rotary hoeing or shallow incorporatjdn !,nc\ deeper
than 112 inch deep) will improve performance and minimize
crop damage. Excessive rainfali;ur)i~rf{~tion after)
application may reduce weed control arId/or in~IPF.!'e.crop

• Due to extended periods of germination and/or dry weather conditions control of these weeds may be erratic,and may require
cultivation or an appropriate postemergence herbicide application for control of late season escapes. -, ,
Certain biotypes may have developed resistance to triazine herbicides. If weed resistance is known or suspected, use in combinatio
or sequence with a registered non-triazine herbicide.
, Suppressed growth (partial control)
Following many years of atrazine use (one of the active ingredients in AXIOM AT) and products chemically related to
atrazine, certain biotypes of weeds listed as being controlled by the atrazine portion of the product have been reported to
develop resistance. Where resistant weed populations are known or suspected to occur, AXIOM AT is recommended to be
used in combination qr in sequence with registered herbicides which do not contain triazines. Consult with your local state
Agricultural Extension Service for specific recommendations.
USE RATES
AXIOM AT may be applied~alone or in tank mixture with
additional registered herbicides to provide control of annual
grasses and.broadleaf weeds. Application rates may vary
according to crop management system, application timing
and soil texture grouping, Rates for applying AXIOM AT
alone are located in Tables 1 and 2.

CROP ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
In the event of a crop failure, only corn can be replanted
immediately. If the original AXIOM AT treatment was
broadcast, do not make a second application of AXIOM AT.
If the original application was banded and the second crop is
planted in the row middles, a second band application may
be applied. Corn, sorghum, and soybeans may be planted
the year following treatment. Injury may occur to soybeans
planted the year following AXIOM AT application on soils
having a calcareous surface layer. Do not plant sugar beets,
tobacco, vegetables, spring-seeded grains or small-seeded
legumes and grasses the year following application as injury
may occur.

APPENDIX I
COMPATIBILITY TEST
A compatibility test is highly recommended for all
applications with liquid fertilizers. Prior to mixing products in
the spray tank, small quantities of each product can be
mixed in proportionate quantities to evaluate compatibilities.
The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per
acre. If other spray volumes are to be used, adjust the
appropriate amounts of ingredients. To check for
compatibility, use the following procedure:
1. Add two inches of the liquid carrier (water or liquid
fertilizer) to a one-quart jar fitted with a tight lid.
2. Add the appropriate amount of herbicide. If more than one
product is used, the recommended mix sequence is the
dry herbicide first, flowables next and emulsified
concentrates last. For dry herbicides. add 1-1/2 level
teaspoons/pound/acre use rate and for liquids add 1/2
teaspoon/pinUacre use rate.
3. Add one pint of the liquid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer)
to the jar. Place the lid on the iar and gently shake the iar
for one minute. Place the jar on a level surface and let it
stand for 30 minutes.
4. Reagitate the mixture and observe for signs of phase
separation, flakes, particles, gels, precipitates, etc., that
would prevent the mixture from being a sprayable solution.
If none of these conditions occur, the mix is compatible.
5. If incompatible, use of a compatibility agent is
recommended. Rerun the above test but first add a
compatibility agent (1/4 teaspoon is equal to a use rate of
2 pints/100 gallons spray mix) and gently shake the iar
prior to adding herbicides.
6. If the mixture is now compatible, a compatibility agent
should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended
rate.
7.lf the components of the solution are still incompatible, the
mixture should not be attempted for use in the spray tank.
B. Contact your Bayer representative for further
recommendations on testing spray solution compatibilities.

APPENDIX"
IMPREGNATION AND APPLICATION ON DRY
FERTILIZER
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with AXIOM
AT for applications to com and soylteans. Follow all AXIOM
AT label recommendations, special instructions and
precautions. All state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer
blending, impregnating and labeling must also be followed.
Rates: Select the recommended AXIOM AT use rate per
acre from the crop section of this label and determine the
quantity of dry bulk fertilizer to be applied per acre (use a
minimum of 200 pounds and a maximum of 450 pounds per
acre). Use the equation below to determine the amount of
AXIOM AT needed per ton of fertilizer applied.
Ibs AXIOM AT X 2000 = Ibs AXIOM AT
per Acre Ibs fertilizer per Acre per ton fertilizer
(1 Ib = 16 ounces AXIOM AT)
Impregnation: AXIOM AT may be i]11pregnated on many
commonly used dry fertilizers but slmuld not be impregnated
on ammonium nitrate, fertilizers containing ammonium
nitrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate or powder
limestone.
To impregnate AXIOM AT on bulk fertilizer, use a closed
rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer
blender equipped with suijable spray equipment. Mix
AXIOM AT with sufficient water to form a sprayable slurry <.
mixture. Spray nozzles must be directed to provide uniform
fertilizer coverage while avoiding spray contact with mi~i~g /
equipment. Nonuniform impregnation can cause crop Injury
or unsatisfactory performance.
Spray the herbicide mixture onto the fertilizer after blending
has started. If necessary, include a suitable drying agent to
ensure a spreadable herbicide impregnated fertilizer. If the
fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use diesel fuel or
other suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation.
Apply the treated fertilizer immediately after impregnation to
avoid lump formation and spreading difficulties.
Application: Accurate calibration of fertilizer application
equipment and uniform fertilizer dis.tribution is essential for
satisfactory weed control. Air flaw 6r auger metered
application equipment is preferred (one pass application). If
other equipment is used, the recommended application
method is to apply one-haH the recommended rate and
overlap 50 percent or to double apply by splitting the middles
to obtain the best distribution pattern.
