GENERAL INFORMATION Read all label directions before using. FLEXSTAR is a selective postemergence herbicide for control of broad leaf weeds in soybeans. Soybean plants are tolerant to FLEXSTAR when applied at recommended rates. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of soybean leaves may occur, but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. . -FLEXSTAR is effective through contact action, therefore weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray, Optimum weed control is achieved when young actively growing weeds are treated that are not under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury. Secondary flushes of certain weeds may be controlled by soil residual activity if rainfall occurs shortly after application. The extent of soil activity is dependent upon soil type, ground cover at time of application, amount of rainfall and the rate of FLEXSTAR used. • : ( I , ". , . . , .. 1 <" , . , < , < .. ~ .. . •• . .

141 1,,}-f Page B FLEXSTAR Booklet FLEX390B.RSD 5119/97 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS TIMING: Best control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when FLEXSTAR is applied early to actively growing weeds. This usually occurs 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed tables for specific recommendations on weed growth stages, rates, and regions. SPRAY ADDITIVES: FLEXSTAR is formulated with an optimized surfactant system for herbicidal performance. In Regions 2, 3 and 4 (see Regional Use Map), FLEXSTAR should be used with a minimum of 1.0% of liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) or a minimum of 4 pounds ammonium sulfate per 100 gallons of spray volume. The use of FLEXSTAR with additional adjuvants, such as crop oil concentrate or nonionic surfactant can improve performance on larger and/or more difficult to control weeds or during drought stress or when spray volume exceeds 20 gallons per acre. ' Under certain conditions temporary crop injury may result. GUIDELINES FOR USING ADDITIONAL ADJUVANTS: Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under40 CFR 180.1001 may be used. Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Use NIS containing at least 75% surface active agent at 0.25% (1/2 pint per 25 gallons) of the finished spray volume. Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Use a non phytotoxic COC or a once refined vegetable oil concentrate (VOC, MSO) containing 15-20% approved emulsifier at 0.5% (1 pint per 25 gallons) of finished spray volume. Other Adjuvants - Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the product meets the following criteria:

1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
2. Is non phytotoxiC to the target crop.
3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
4. Is supported locally for use with FLEXSTAR on the target crop through proven field trials and through university and extension recommendations. Tankmixes: If a product tankmixed with FLEXSTAR requires a cropoil concentrate or nonionic surfactant, use the lowest recommended adjuvant rate for the tankmix product. (See Tankmix Application section for further details.) Recommended Mixing Order:
5. Half required amount of water, begin agitation.*
6. Dry pestiCide formulations.
7. FLEXSTAR herbicide.
8. Liquid pestiCide formulation.
9. Adjuvant (COC or NIS) and fertilizer. '", , , , . , ~ ~ c • , . .. . ~ ," . . ' *Compatibilityagent, 1 gallon/500 gallons of water or 0.2% vlv, may be added as neede'd.: .. ' ... " , . , «

/$ 1 ( Page 9 FLEXSTAR Booklet FLEX390B.RSD 5119197 GROUND APPLICATION: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target weeds. A spray volume of 10-20 gallons per acre and 30-60 psi at the nozzle tip is recommended. When weed foliage is dense, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage. Use only hollow cone or flat fan nozzles. The sprayer must be calibrated to provide the proper volume and rate per acre. In addition, the boom and nozzle height must be adjusted to provide complete coverage of all weeds. DO NOT USE FLOOD TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLES, WHICH DELIVER COARSE, LARGE DROPLET SPRAYS. DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM. BAND APPLICATIONS: Thorough weed coverage is important for control. Best coverage is obtained with a minimum of two n=les, one directed to each side of the planted row. Application with a single nozzle directed over the top of the row is not recommended. Cultivation of untreated areas may be needed following band applications. When making band applications and cultivating in the same operation, position nozzles in advance of the cultivation device. This will reduce dust in the spray area. Dust can intercept spray, reducing weed coverage, resulting in less than adequate weed control. Calculate the amount of herbicide and water volume needed. for band treatment by the following formulas: ElSlnd idth in inches X broadcast rate = Band herbicide rate row width in inches per acre per acre Baod width in ios;,hes X broadcast volume = Band water volume row width in inches per acre per acre AERIAL APPLICATION: Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target weeds. A minimum of 5 gallons per acre of spray mixture should be applied with a maximum of 40 PSI pressure. When broadleaf weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre to ensure coverage of weed foliage. CULTIVATION: Cultivation prior to application is not recommended. Cultivation may put weds under stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying FLEXSTAR may assist weed control. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS • The maximum rates specified for applications are inclusive of ALL products containing ... fomesafen. < < • A maximum of 3 pints of FLEXSTAR herbicide (or a maximum ofO.3751 ai/A:offon\e~afen from any product containing fomesafen) may be applied per acre per year!1i :egio :1.

Avoid applying FLEXSTAR to weeds or soybeans which are under stress from moisture, temperature, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, as reduced weed control andlor increased crop injury may result. . . • Avoid overlapping spray sweths, as injury may coeur to rotational crops. • Avoid drift to all other crops and nontarget areas. Crops other than soybeans may be severely injured by drift. Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. be not make ground or aerial application during temperature inversions. • To provide adequate coverage, it is recommended that ground speed not exceed 10 MPH during application. • Do not graze treated areas or harvest for forage or hay. ,"" , , " , .

Consult Use Rate Table for maximum rate in each region. For full-season broad-spectrum annual grass control, FUSILAO OX or FUSION"' herbicide should be used alone or in tankmix with FLEXSTAR. Consult tankmix section. Bamyardgrass Broadleaf Signalgrass Crabgrass Foxtail Giant Green Yellow Goosegrass Johnsongrass, Seedling Panicum, Fall Panicum, Texas Suppression of Perennial Weeds: Use of FLEXSTAR at rates of 2 to 3 pints/acre will aid in suppressing the above-ground portions of the weeds listed below until crop canopy can assist in suppression. Perennial weeds continue to regrow from underground rootstocks even if above-ground foliage is temporarily controlled or retarded. Even though FLEXSTAR and crop competition can suppress perennial weeds for a growing season, the rootstocks will continue to live and reestablishment will occur in subsequent years.
