Subject: Label Notification for Pesticide Registration Notice 2007~4 
(Storage & Disposal Changes) 
Dear Registrant: 
The Agency is in receipt of your Application(s) for Pesticide Notification under 
Pesticide Registration Notice (PRN) 2007-4 dated August 5, 2009 for: 
EPA Registration 100-774 "EXCEED CUSTOMPAK HERBICIDE" 
The Registration Division (RD) has conducted a review of this request for applicability 
under PRN 2007-4 and finds that the label change(s) requested falls within the scope of 
PRN 2007-4. The label has been date-stamped "Notification" and will be placed in our 
records. 
Please be reminded that 40 CFR Part 156.l40(a)(4) requires that a batch code, lot 
number, or other code identifying the batch of the pesticide distributed and sold be placed on 
nonrefillable containers. The code may appear either on the label (and can be added by non­
notificationlPR Notice 98-10) or durably marked on the container itself. 
If you have any questions, please contact me directly at 703-305-6249 or Owen F. 
Beeder of my staff at 703-308-8899.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
Exceed is a selective herbicide applied after emergence of both crop and weeds for the 
control of weeds in field corn (grown for grain, silage, or seed; including white corn), 
and popcorn. Exceed consists of water-dispersible granules which must be thoroughly 
mixed in water and applied as a spray. 
Refer to Table 1 for a listing of weeds controlled. The degree of weed control resulting 
from application of Exceed is dependent upon weed species, weed size at application, 
environmental conditions, amount of Exceed applied, and growing conditions. Weed 
control is better when weeds have emerged, ample soil moisture exists, and weeds are 
actively growing, than when the soil is dry and weeds are under stress from lack of 
moisture. 
Exceed provides control or partial control of many annual and perennial weeds. When 
reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control means significant activity 
but not always at a level generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. 
If grasses are expected, a preemergence grass herbicide (such as Dual II MAGNUM®, 
. Bicep Lite II MAGNUM®, or Bicep II MAGNUM® preemergence) should be applied. 
Growth of susceptible weeds is inhibited soon after application of Exceed. The leaves 
of susceptible plants turn yellow, red, or brown after several days, followed by death of 
the growing pOint. Complete plant death occurs 1-3 weeks after application, depending 
upon weed species and growing conditions. Weeds not completely killed by Exceed 
are often stunted and are less competitive to the crop. 
Exceed contains two active ingredients: primisulfuron and prosulfuron. If a 
combination of adverse environmental conditions occurs, the degradation of prosulfuron 
in soil is slowed down. These conditions include: shorter than normal growing season, 
low soil temperatures for extended periods during growing season, unusually dry soil, 
lack of rainfall/irrigation following application of Exceed, soil pH 7.8 or greater, or 
compacted soils. The rotational section of this label addresses these conditions. If 
Exceed was applied in a season where several of the above conditions occurred, 
mitigating measures such as deep tillage, planting crops under optimal growing· 
conditions, or planting varieties with enhanced tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides 
(such as STS® soybeans) should be considered when rotating to broadleaf crops, such 
as soybeans or cotton. 
This herbicide controls weeds by inhibiting a biochemical process which produces 
certain essential amino acids necessary for plant growth. The inhibited enzyme system 
is acetolactate synthase (ALS). Occurrence of ALS-resistant weed biotypes can be 
prevented or delayed by using this product in sequence or in tank mixtures with other 
herbicides having a different mode of action, and by using some form of mechanical 
control or a herbicide with a different mode of action to control weed escapes before

-7-
they set seed. Both modes of action should provide acceptable control of the specific 
weed if applied alone at the rates used in tank mixture. 
Exceed applied in accordance with this label rarely causes corn injury. When injury 
occurs, it is generally of short duration and yield potential is not affected. 
Restrictions: (1) Do not graze or feed forage from Exceed-treated crops to livestock 
until 30 days after application. (2) Do not harvest silage until 40 days after application. 
(3) Do not harvest grain until 60 days after application. (4) Do not apply more than one 
application of Exceed in the cropping season. (5) Complete all Exceed applications 
before corn exceeds 30 inches (2.5 ft.) in height and before tassel emergence .. 
Precautions 
Follow these precautions to reduce chances of crop injury and/or to avoid reduced 
weed control: 
1. Exceed should not be applied if corn is under severe stress due to drought, cold 
weather, hail, flooding, water-logged soils, compacted soil, disease, insect 
damage, nutrient deficiency (especially low nitrogen levels), or other causes. If 
Exceed is applied when nighttime low temperatures are below 40°F, or the sum 
of the daytime high temperature plus the nighttime low temperature is below 
110°F, corn injury may occur. Also, avoid application of Exceed to corn which is 
stressed from dense populations of weeds which are taller than the optimum 
heights listed in Table 1. Applications of Exceed may result in reduced weed 
control if weeds are under severe stress from drought or if weeds are taller than 
the optimum heights listed in Table 1. 
2. A. If a "normal" or IT* corn hybrid (not an IR* or IMR* hybrid) is planted and 
Dyfonate®, Lorsban®, Thimet®, or other organophosphate insecticide is 
applied at planting or before applying Exceed, temporary injury may occur 
following the Exceed application. Do not apply Exceed if this corn crop 
was treated with Counter® 15G (any application method) or Counter® 
CR® applied in-furrow at planting or over the row at cultivation, as severe 
crop injury may occur. Application of Exceed to corn treated with Counter 
CR applied in a surface band or T-band at planting time, may result in 
crop injury. Syngenta will not be held responsible for losses or damage 
resulting from such use. 
*IT - Corn with enhanced imidazolinone herbicide tolerance. 
*IR/*IMR - Corn with enhanced imidazolinone herbicide resistance. 
B. If an IR or IMR corn hybrid is planted, organophosphate insecticides, 
including Counter, can be applied at any time according to label directions 
without increasing the likelihood of injury to those hybrids after Exceed

-8-
c 
has been applied. The interaction between organophosphate insecticides 
and Exceed is completely overcome by corn hybrids with IR or IMR 
designations, but not by IT hybrids; i.e., IT hybrids should be considered 
like "normal" hybrids with regard to this interaction. 
3. Do not make a foliar postemergence or soil application of any organophosphate 
insecticide within 10 days before or 7 days after an Exceed application, or severe 
crop injury may occur. 
4. Exceed should be applied postemergence to field corn between 4 and 30 inches 
in height. Corn plants less than 4 inches tall are more susceptible to herbicide 
injury. To ensure good spray coverage of the weeds and avoid potential injury, 
applications made after the field corn is 20 inches tall, or exhibits more than 6 
collars (V6), whichever comes first, should be directed using drop nozzles. If 
rotating to an Exceed sensitive broadleaf crop (Le., soybeans, cotton) the 
next season, do not make applications of Exceed after June 30 to allow for 
ample opportunity for prosulfuron degradation. 
5. Exceed can be applied to all field corn hybrids, except a few that are classified 
by Syngenta as potentially susceptible to injury following Exceed application. 
Consult your chemical dealer or Syngenta representative for a current listing of 
field corn hybrids classified as "potentially susceptible" to Exceed. 
6. Field Corn Grown for Seed: Exceed may be broadcast or applied with drop 
nozzles to field corn grown for seed from a minimum of 4" up to 20" tall (free­
standing), or corn that exhibits 6 or fewer collars (V6), whichever occurs first. 
Drop nozzles must be used when the inbred plants are between 20 and 30 
inches tall and before tassel emergence. Using drop nozzles provides ~he 
greatest crop safety when applying Exceed on seed corn. However, Syngenta 
recommends that you thoroughly test the specific inbred for its sensitivity to 
Exceed before treating large acreages, particularly if you choose to make a 
broadcast application. Not all, inbred lines have been tested for sensitivity to 
Exceed, nor does Syngenta have access to all seed company data. Further, 
Syngenta is not responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of 
Exceed on field corn grown for seed. 
7. Popcorn: Exceed can be applied directed to popcorn; however, not all popcorn 
hybrids have been tested for sensitivity to Exceed. Therefore, popcorn hybrids 
must be thoroughly tested for potential sensitivity to Exceed before treating large 
acreages. To avoid crop injury, popcorn shOUld not be sprayed with either over­
the-top applications of Exceed or hooded sprayers; i.e., only directed 
applications using drop nozzles when the popcorn plants are between 10 and 30 
inches tall, and before tassel emergence. 
8. Do not use Exceed on sweet corn or ornamental (Indian) corn.

-9-
9. Do not irrigate within 4 hours after Exceed application. Rainfall or irrigation 
occurring within 4 hours after Exceed application may reduce weed control. 
10. Soil pH may vary greatly within a field; pH variations of 1 to 2 units are not 
uncommon. Soil sampling techniques for fertility recommendations often use 
composite soil samples taken over an entire field(s). Such sampling may not 
accurately reflect surface layer areas of high pH within a field. Subsampling, 
therefore, is recommended for areas expected to have pH values greater than 
the field average. Examples of where subsampling within fields may be required 
includ~: (1) areas where soil types differ within the field, and (2) where 
conditions may vary within the field such as: (a) areas where iron chlorosis 
occurs, (b) areas bordering limestone roads, (c) low areas subject to flooding, (d) 
eroded hillsides, (e) drainage tile lines, (f) areas amended with sludge, manure, 
or other materials which may alter soil pH, and (g) areas with visible calcareous 
deposits. Refer to Exception 4 regarding soil pH 7.B or higher. 
11. In areas where a rotation to soybeans or other broadleaf crops will occur, do not 
lime such that the resulting surface pH will be equal to or higher than 7.B. The 
use of Exceed is not recommended in corn fields where lime will be applied prior 
to planting corn or following harvest of the corn crop in the same year as the use 
of Exceed or prior to planting a broad leaf crop the following year unless the 
resulting soil pH is <7.B. If necessary to lime, thorough incorporation of the lime 
through tillage is suggested to reduce the potential for soil pH stratification. In 
areas where lime has not been incorporated into the soil through tillage, shallow 
soil sampling (Le., upper 2 inches) may be required to accurately measure the 
surface pH of the soil. Refer to Exception 4 regarding soil pH 7.B or higher. 
12. [)o not apply Exceed in tank mixture with any formulation of cyanazine (Bladex® 
or Extrazine® II), or severe crop injury may result. Do not apply Exceed in tank 
mixtures with Poast® or Poast Plus® herbicides, as grass control is often 
reduced significantly and/or crop injury may occur. 
13. Do not apply Exceed to corn that exhibits injury symptoms from a previous 
herbicide application or other causes. 
14. If Exceed is applied to johnsongrass, aphids and other insects infesting the 
johnsongrass may move to the corn crop. These insects may transmit viral 
diseases to the corn. Virus-resistant corn hybrids or control of the insects may 
be necessary to reduce the likelihood of disease development. 
15. If spot spraying, be careful to not overdose the treated areas. 
16. Observe all precautions and limitations on the label of each product used in tank 
mixtures with Exceed.

-10-
APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
Ground Spray Equipment: Spray noZzles should be uniformly spaced and of the 
same size, and should provide accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles 
which provide medium-coarse droplets to provide good coverage and minimize drift. 
To help assure accuracy, calibrate sprayer at the beginning of the season before use 
and recalibrate frequently. For ground application, use a minimum of 10 gals. of water 
per acre. Higher volumes (Le., at least 20 gals.lA) should be used for severe weed 
infestations to ensure adequate spray coverage. Always include crop oil concentrate or 
nonionic surfactant in the spray mixture (see the Mixing Procedures section which 
follows). 
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi pressure at the nozzles and (2) 
provide sufficient agitation within the tank to keep product in suspension. Lower spray 
pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction flat fan nozzles. A 
centrifugal pump which provides shear action for dispersing and mixing the product is 
recommended. The pump should provide a minimum of 20 gals.lminute/1 00 gals. tank 
size circulated through a correctly positioned sparger tube or jet agitators. If jet 
agitators are used, at least 2 agitators should be aligned on the bottom of the tank 
pointing toward each end. Agitation during both mixing and application is essential. ' 
Screens or strainers placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesQ or 
coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line unless a roller or piston pump is 
used for spraying the solution. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump 
and boom, and when required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer's 
recommendations. 
Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control 
results. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure 
that the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid large spray overlaps which result in excessive 
rates in the overlap areas, i.e., point rows, headlands, sprayer start-up zones, etc., and 
can increase the chance of direct crop injury or potential injury to rotational crops. Also, 
avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when 
excessive spray drift may occur. To reduce spray drift, do not apply under windy 
conditions. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable vegetation to 
prevent drift to nontarget areas. Avoid placing nozzles directly over the corn row 
and concentrating spray into the corn whorls. Boom height for broadcast over-the­
top application should be based upon the free-standing height of the crop, not height 
above the soil surface; and should be at least 15 inches above the crop canopy. If 
hooded sprayers are used, avoid spraying Exceed into the corn whorl and plug nozzles 
directly over the row. 
Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) of Exceed with crops 
other than those recommended for treatment on this label, since injury may 
occur.

c: 
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
Aerial Application: Apply Exceed in water using a minimum spray volume of 3 gals.lA. 
Include a nonionic surfactant, i.e., X-77®, at 1 qt.l100 gals. of spray mix (0.25% 
volume/volume), or a good quality crop oil concentrate at no more than 2 pts.lA (see 
following Mixing Procedures). Avoid application under conditions where uniform 
coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur; Make 
applications at a maximum height of 10ft. above the corn with low-drift nozzles at a 
maximum pressure of 40 psi and do not spray if wind speed is 10 mph or greater to 
assure accurate Exceed application within the target area. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation 
of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. 
Do not apply Exceed by aerial application in New York state. 
Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift 
As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not 
allow spray to drift onto adjacent land or crops, as even small amounts may injure 
sensitive plants. When drift may be a problem, take steps to reduce spray drift, 
including: 
• Do not spray if wind speed is 10 mph or greater. Do not spray if winds are gusty. If 
sensitive crops or plants are downwind, extreme caution must be used under all 
conditions. 
• Use extreme caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures, 
drought, low relative humidity), especially when sensitive plants are located nearby. 
• Do not apply when a temperature inversion exists. If an inversion condition is 
suspected, consult with local weather services before making an application. 
• Further reductions in drift can be obtained by: 
1. Using nozzles that provide a uniform droplet size. Use nozzles that produce 
medium to coarse droplets (250-400 microns) that are less prone to result in 
spray drift. 
2. Use flat fan nozzles. For example, Turbo Teejet, XR® Teejet, RF Raindrop®, 
or similar "low pressure" nozzles are preferred. 
3. Recalibrate sprayer using reduced spray pressures and increased spray 
volumes to produce larger droplets when conditions favor drift.

( -12-
4. Applying as close to target .plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern 
for adequate coverage, while maintaining a minimum boom height of 15 
inches over the corn canopy for ground application. 
SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
Cleaning Equipment after Application 
Because most crops, other than corn, are extremely sensitive to low rates of Exceed, 
special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than 
those registered for use and on this label. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. 
Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using this procedure: 
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. 
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 50 gals. of 
water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used. Please request and 
read a copy of the Syngenta brochure "Clean It Up! A Guide To Cleaning Your 
. Sprayers" (SCP 175-00088-A 3/97) from your local Syngenta representative for 
more information about proper tank cleaning procedures. Do not use chlorine­
based cleaners such as Clorox®. 
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. 
Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If 
pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning 
solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the 
tan,k and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the 
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits rryust be removed 
from the spraying system. 
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles fo'r at least one minute with the cleaning 
solution. 
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner. Spray the cleaning 
solution on untreated corn or return to a rinsate tank for later use as make-up 
water for spraying corn or use other approved disposal. 
6. Repeat steps 2-5. 
7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia 
cleaning solution after completing the above procedures. 
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

( 
-13-
Note: If the tank is equipped with the proper number of correctly mounted 360
0 
tank washing nozzles which are attached to a dedicated rinsing system, less 
cleaning solution than a full tank may be used. Use sufficient cleaning solution 
to thoroughly rinse all surfaces. Start the sprayer agitation and recirculate the 
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Flush the spray boom with the cleaning 
solution. Repeat the rinsing procedure 1-2 times. 
MIXING PROCEDURES 
IMPORTANT: Follow the correct mixing order on the label or the material may not 
mix properly. Poor mixing may result in crop injury or poor product performance. 
1. Make sure the spray tank is clean before using. If it is contaminated with other 
materials, mixing problems and/or clogging may occur, or injury to the crop may 
result. . 
2. Prepare no. more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. 
3. Fill the spray tank %-Y2 full with clean weiter and begin agitation. 
4. Make certain that the agitation system is working properly and· creates a rippling 
or rolling action on the water surface. Maintain agitation throughout the mixing 
and spraying process. 
5. Add all products packaged in water-soluble film to the tank at the same time. 
Allow the packets to completely dissolve and the contents of the packets to fully 
disperse into the mix water. Important: Water-soluble packets must always 
be the first material put into the spray tank after water. 
6. Maintain agitation and continue filling the spray tank. Add the appropriate 
amount of Exceed and allow the product to dissolve and completely disperse into 
the mix water. 
7. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 
full, add any tank-mix partners. Add any water-dispersible granule or other dry 
formulation first, and allow that material to disperse. Then add any emulsifiable 
liquid. formulation. 
8. Then add either (a) a high quality petroleum- or vegetable-based crop oil 
concentrate containing not less than 12% emulsifier at 1-4 pts.lA as specified on 
the oil adjuvant label, or (b) a good nonionic surfactant with a minimum of 80% of 
the constituents effective as a spray adjuvant at the rate of 1-2 qts.l100 gals. of 
spray mixture (0.25-0.5% v/v). In addition to crop oil concentrate or nonionic 
surfactant, liquid nitrogen' fertilizer (28-34%) at 0.5-1 gaUA or 2-4 Ibs.lA spray 
grade ammonium sulfate (or equivalent AMS liquid) may also be added to

-14-
enhance activity against certain weeds, e.g., velvetleaf. Liquid nitrogen should 
not be used as a substitute for crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant. Do 
not use liquid fertilizer as the total spray carrier. Do not use crop oil 
concentrate as the spray adjuvant or add liquid nitrogen when using Banvel® . 
(more than 2 oz./A), Buctril®, Buctril + atrazine, Clarity® (more than 2 oz./A), 
Marksman®, or 2,4-0 tank mixtures, Le., use only nonionic surfactant. 
9. Complete filling the tank, maintaining sufficient agitation at all times to ensure 
surface action until the spray tank mixture is uniform. 
10. An anti-foaming agent may be added to reduce excessive foaming if needed. 
11. Do not leave spray in the spray tank without continuous agitation. Always 
maintain agitation to avoid separation and build-up of undesirable residues on 
the walls of the spray tank. 
12. Make only sufficient spray mixture which can be used the day in which it will be 
sprayed; however, Exceed will remain active in the spray solution for at least 36 
hours. 
·CROP USE DIRECTIONS 
Corn - Exceed Applied Alone 
Exceed controls many weeds, including triazine-resistant biotypes, when applied 
postemergence in corn at the rate and timings recommended in Table 1. Applipations 
should be made to weeds in the optimum size range recommended; larger weeds may 
be only partially controlled. For optimum control, do not cultivate until approximately 7 
days after Exceed application, if cultivation is to be used. Deep cultivation (greater than 
4 inches) after application of Exceed may dilute the herbicide within the soil profile and 
reduce ·residual control. 
Exceed may be applied postemergence (over-the-top or directed) to field corn between 
4 and 30 inches in height (minimum of 10 inches and only directed applications for 
inbred lines and popcorn). To ensure good spray coverage of the weeds and avoid 
potential crop injury, applications made when the field corn is 20-30 inches tall or 
exhibits more than 6 collars (V6), whichever comes first, should be directed using drop 
nozzles. Since Exceed offers up to 4 weeks residual weed control, it is more important 
to time applications to the optimum weed heights listed in Table 1, rather than corn 
height. In drier climates (Le., the western Cornbelt), crop oil concentrate (COC) is the 
preferred additive, instead of noriionic surfactant, when applying Exceed alone. If 
weeds other than those listed in Table 1 are anticipated, apply an appropriately labeled 
preplant, preemergence, or postemergence herbicide or herbicide combination. Dual II 
MAGNUM, Bicep II MAGNUM, Bicep Lite II MAGNUM, Dual II MAGNUM + AAtrex® are

-15- ( 
examples of herbicide treatments that can precede Exceed application. Consult their 
respective labels for directions, precautions, and limitations before applying.

2Certain biotypes of this weed species are known to be resistant to this and other ALS herbicides. Where 
these ALS-resistant biotypes are known to exist, an appropriate registered herbicide with another mode of

-17-
action active against that weed at the recommended use rate, should be used alone or in tank mixture with 
Exceed to control those biotypes. 
3Spray after true leaves have emerged; earlier applications may result in unacceptable control. 
4For optimum control of velvetieaf, especially when more than 6 inches tali, include nitrogen in the spray

Notes: (1) One CustomPak bottle of Exceed contains 20 oz. and treats 20 or 25 acres 
at the standard and tank-mix rates. (2) Volumetric measuring cylinders should be used 
only as a guide or as a container for weighing, as the degree of accuracy varies. For 
more precise measurement, scales which weigh in ounces and calibrated to at least 0.1 
oz. are recommended. (3) For band or spot applications, use proportionately less 
product. 
Corn - Exceed Applied in Tank Mixtures 
Exceed may be applied postemergence in various tank mixtures: (a) for improved 
control of weeds not fully controlled by Exceed alone; (b) to control weeds·which are 
larger than the optimum size range in Table 1; (c) to include a different mode of action 
herbicide to help prevent or manage· resistant weed biotypes or (d) to broaden the weed 
control spectrum (refer to Table 3). For all tank mixtures of Exceed with other 
herbicides, refer to both labels for weeds controlled and application information; and 
follow all restrictions and precautions on both labels. The tank mixtures in Table 3 
will control the weeds listed in that table when treated at the growth stages 
recommended, plus the weeds and weed sizes listed in Table 1.

-18-
Apply Exceed in tank mixtures at one of the recommended rates (refer to Tables 2 and 
3), and refer to the Mixing Procedures section of this label. 
Use the lower rate of Exceed recommended in Table 3 (0.8 oz'/A) when weeds are in 
the middle or shorter portion of the recommended size range and the infestation is light 
or moderate. Refer to the Rotational Crop section of the label. Use the higher rate of 
Exceed (1 oz'/A) when weeds are in the taller portion of the recommended size range 
or the infestation is heavy. 
If another herbicide application is desired following the use of Exceed, do not apply 
Exceed a second time; i.e., make only one application of Exceed during a cropping 
season. 
Waterhemp and Amaranth Control Program: Since common waterhemp, tall 
waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, smooth and red root pigweed are prolific seed producers, 
have a long germination period, ALS-resistant biotypes exist, and have become 
problem weeds in certain areas. The following 3-step program has provided good 
results for control of heavy infestations of these weeds: (1) Apply Bicep II MAGNUM, 
Bicep Lite II MAGNUM, or Dual II MAGNUM early preplant, preplant incorporated, or 
preemergence at the recommended rate for that soil. If weeds have emerged prior to 
the application of Bicep II MAGNUM, Bicep Lite II MAGNUM, or Dual II MAGNUM, 
control them with tillage or a burndown herbicide; (2) Apply a postemergence tank 
mixture of Exceed plus Banvel, Clarity, AAtrex (atrazine), or Marksman (refer to Table 3 
regarding timings, rates, and additives for these tank mixtures); and (3) If needed, 
cultivate 1-3 weeks after the postemergence application. In addition to controlling 
waterhemp and amaranth species, this program is also effective in controlling most 
other weeds common in corn. 
IMPORTANT: FOR TANK MIXTURES WITH AATREX (OR OTHER BRANDS OF 
ATRAZINE) - If applying Exceed in tank mixture with AAtrex (atrazine), all the 
restrictions and rate limitations on the AAtrex (atrazine) label must be followed, if 
more restrictive/protective than those on this label.

Crop Failure 
If corn treated with Exceed is lost due to a natural catastrophe, such as hail or frost, 
normal field corn may be replanted, but not until 4 weeks or more after application. An 
IR or IMR corn hybrid may be replanted immediately. For control of weeds in replanted 
corn, Exceed may not be applied a second time; i.e., only one application of Exceed 
may be applied during the cropping season. 
Rotational Crops 
The following crops may be planted at the intervals indicated following an application of
