Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
DIFLEXX® Duo is a selective preemergence and postemergence herbicide for the contr ol of annual broadleaf weeds; control and/or
|
||
suppression of many biennial/perennial broadleaf we eds and control of annual grasses found in corn (field corn, seed corn, popc orn
|
||
and corn grown for silage) and for postharvest burndown weed cont rol. Weed growth ceases within hours after DIFLEXX Duo is
|
||
applied. Symptoms on susceptible weed species include epinastic-like symptoms on stems and leaves with tissues turning yellow and
|
||
bleached in color and soon becoming necrotic. Plant death generally occurs within 7 to 14 days after application.
|
||
WEED CONTROL INFORMATION
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo applied postemergence at recommended rates of 24-40 fluid ounces per acre will effectively control a broad array of
|
||
important annual broadleaf weeds and grasses, including biotypes re sistant to glyphosate-, triazine-, auxin-, HPPD-, benzoic- , and
|
||
ALS-inhibiting herbicides (Tables 1-2). Be st control of annual broadleaf weeds is ac hieved when weeds are less than 6” in height
|
||
and actively growing while the best control of annual grasses is achieved prior to tillering and when grasses are actively growing. In
|
||
corn, the addition of atrazine at a minimum 0.5 lb ai/A will improve control of annual broadleaf weeds and increase the speed,
|
||
spectrum, and consistency of grass control. DIFLEXX Duo applied postemergence at 24-40 fluid ounces per acre will also control or
|
||
suppress many biennial/perennial broadleaf weeds (Tables 3-4). As a preemergence applic ation, LAUDIX FLEXX Herbicide will
|
||
provide suppression/control of certain annual broadleaf and grass weeds (Table 5) but will generally not provide season-long re sidual
|
||
weed control. Preemergence applications of DIFLEXX Duo s hould always be either tank mixed with additional registered residua l
|
||
preemergence herbicides (see Pr eemergence tank mix section) or be follow ed by a planned postemergence herbicide application
|
||
program for improved weed control. Always follow the most restrictive use rates and use instructions listed on the labeling of all tank
|
||
mix partners.

|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation can help remove suppressed weeds or multiple flushing weeds. However, cultivation should not be performed within 7
|
||
days of an application of DIFLEXX Duo as this could decreas e effectiveness of weed control due to disruption of herbicide
|
||
translocation in the plant.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo is a Group 4 and Group 27 herbicide. A given w eed population may contain or develop resistance to a herbicide afte r
|
||
repeated use. Appropriate resi stance-management strategies should be followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The following
|
||
Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing pr oblems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use
|
||
multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective.
|
||
Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.
|
||
Rotate Herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide tolerant traits and or use HT trait stacks for more efficient
|
||
rotations.
|
||
Rotate and tankmix modes of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple MOAs during both the growing season and
|
||
from year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single MOA.
|
||
Know your weeds, know your field. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult to control weeds or dense weed
|
||
populations.
|
||
Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbic ide program can control emerged weeds prior
|
||
to planting.
|
||
Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, a pre-em ergence or early post-emergence soil –
|
||
applied residual herbicide should be used.
|
||
Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, correct timing, full-use rates and appropriate spray volumes.
|
||
Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide application, row wicking, cultivation, hand removal of weeds or other
|
||
techniques to stop weed seed produc tion and improve weed management.
|
||
Zero Tolerance – reduce the weed seed bank. Do not allow surviv ing weeds to set seed, which will help decrease
|
||
weed populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts.
|
||
Clean Equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide resistant weeds and seeds.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist, ce rtified crop advisory and /or Bayer CropScience representative for additional resist ance
|
||
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance

|
||
The interval between application and planting rotational crops is s hown in Table 6. If a corn crop has been destroyed by hail o r other
|
||
means soon after a DIFLEXX Duo application, field corn, seed co rn, popcorn and corn grown for silage may be replanted immediate ly.
|
||
Other crops may be replanted at the intervals specified in Table 6. Planting rota tional crops at intervals less than those spec ified in
|
||
Table 6 may result in crop injury. Moisture is essential for the degradation of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather prevail s, use
|
||
cultivation to allow herbicide contact with moist soiI.

4 All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful bioassay after a DIFLEXX Duo application.. Refer to t he
|
||
“Field/small scale bioassay” section.
|
||
COVER CROPS
|
||
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or ins ect suppression, etc., following harvest of corn in
|
||
the fall is increasing. Planting of cover cr ops in fields treated with DIFLEXX Duo is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed
|
||
by livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically cont rolled with burndown herbicides in the spring.
|
||
Cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after application of DI FLEXX Duo. However, all potential cover crops have not bee n
|
||
evaluated for tolerance to DIFLEXX Duo and significant injury may oc cur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete a successful f ield/
|
||
small scale bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance to the prior DIFLEXX Duo application. Refer to the “Fie ld/ Small
|
||
Scale Bioassay” section. If used in tank mixtures with other herbicides, always follow the most restrictive label.
|
||
FIELD/SMALL SCALE BIOASSAY
|
||
A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those specified in the “Rotational C rop
|
||
Restrictions” section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioas say, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow the following
|
||
season in a field previously treated with DIFLEXX Duo. The test strip should be placed in a controlled area and should include low
|
||
areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH . Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop( s) grown
|
||
in the test strips can be grown safely in the areas previously treated with DIFLEXX Duo.
|
||
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the DIFLEXX Duo - treated field (see exam ple
|
||
above for types of soil in the sample) and place the soil into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water
|
||
and place the container in a warm, sunny area to allow germination and gr owth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover crop over a
|
||
three to four week period. If the cover crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the D IFLEXX
|
||
Duo -treated field should be tolerable.

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Spray drift may result in injury to non-tar get crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply when wind speed is great er than
|
||
10 MPH or during periods of tem perature inversions. DO NOT apply when weather conditions, wind speed or wind direction may caus e
|
||
spray drift to non-target areas.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
Only apply this product when the potential for drift to adjacent s ensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, know n habitat for
|
||
threatened or endangered species, non-ta rget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensi tive
|
||
areas).
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related
|
||
factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factor s when
|
||
making decisions.
|
||
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotect ed persons, or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be
|
||
damaged, as crops thereof may be rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption.
|
||
Information on Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply lar ge droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest
|
||
droplets that still provide sufficient weed coverage and contr ol. Applying larger droplets will r educe drift potential, but wil l not prevent
|
||
drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (s ee Wind, Temperature and Humidity, a nd
|
||
Temperature Inversion sections below).
|
||
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDI UM
|
||
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver
|
||
COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest prac tical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
|
||
larger droplets.
|
||
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s reco mmended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure
|
||
produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
Number of nozzles - Use t he minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
|
||
produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozz les oriented straight bac k produce the largest
|
||
droplets and the lowest drift.
|
||
Application Height
|
||
For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no mo re than 15 inches above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
||
determine drift potential at any given speed. NOTE: Local te rrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be fami liar with
|
||
local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet
|
||
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high
|
||
temperatures.
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
Temperature Inversion
|
||
Do not make applications into areas of temper ature inversion. Temperature inversion restricts vertical air mixing, which causes small
|
||
suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This c loud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds
|
||
common during inversion. Temperature inversion is characterized by an increas ing temperature with altitude and is common on nig hts
|
||
with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. It begins to form as the sun sets and often continues into the morning. Its pres ence can
|
||
be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inver sion can also be identified by the mo vement of smoke from a ground
|
||
source. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentra ted cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke
|
||
that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
.
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo may be applied either preplant/pr eemergence burndown, preem ergence or postemergence by ground equipment only.
|
||
DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo by air or through any type of irrigation system. Use application equipment that will provide uniform,
|
||
thorough spray coverage of weed foliage to achieve consistent weed control. DIFLEXX Duo mixtures should be sprayed within 24
|
||
hours of mixing to avoid product degradation. DIFLEXX Duo is r ain fast within 4 hours after application to most weed species.
|
||
WATER VOLUME AND NOZZLES
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo can be applied using a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre (unless a higher volume is specified for a tank-mix
|
||
partner). For weed control in dense weed populations or under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre is
|
||
recommended. Good coverage is essential to achieve optimum weed control.
|
||
Select nozzles and a spray pressure that deliver MEDIUM sp ray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in
|
||
accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver CO ARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided
|
||
spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of weeds. Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110 ° are recommended for
|
||
optimum postemergence coverage. Typically, flat-fan nozzles operated at 30-60 PSI will deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, providing
|
||
optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. Lower pressure operation and/or higher volume flat fan nozzles typically deliver
|
||
COARSE sprays. Refer to nozzle manufacturer catalogs.
|
||
Boom height should be based on the height of the crop – at least 15 inches above the crop canopy.
|
||
Air induction nozzles should be used at or near 80 psi to produce a medium droplet size.
|
||
Proper agitation should be maintained within the tank to keep the product dispersed.
|
||
See the Spray Drift Management section of this label fo r additional information on proper applic ation of DIFLEXX Duo.
|
||
DO NOT use nozzles that produce FINE (e.g. - Cone) or EXTRA COARSE (e.g. - Flood jet) spray droplets.
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING OF MIXTURES
|
||
If DIFLEXX Duo is to be tank mixed with other pesticides, com patibility must be tested prior to mixing. To test for compatibili ty, use a
|
||
small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated us e. If any
|
||
indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually o ccur within 5-
|
||
15 minutes after mixing. If the mixture balls -up, forms flakes, sludges, gels , oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible
|
||
and the tank mix combination should not be used.
|
||
SPRAY TANK MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo must be applied with clean and properly calibrated equipm ent. Prior to adding DIFLEXX Duo, ensure that the spray
|
||
tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned and that agitation system is properly working.
|
||
1. Fill spray tank with 50% of the required volume of water, and begin agitation.
|
||
2. Agitate the DIFLEXX Duo product cont ainer thoroughly by shaking, circulating or stirring prior to adding the herbicide into the
|
||
spray tank.
|
||
3. Add the appropriate amount of DIFLEXX D uo slowly to the spray tank or mixing system and ensure complete dispersion.
|
||
Maintain and ensure thorough dispersion and suffici ent agitation during both mixing and spraying.
|
||
4. If tank mixing with another pesticide, add the tank mix product next (except in the case of glyphosate which should be added
|
||
after the nitrogen fertilizer is dispersed).
|
||
5. Add nitrogen fertilizer.
|
||
6. Add the adjuvant.
|
||
7. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed.
|
||
|
||
10
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo is a suspension concentrate that requires the use of an external surfactant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to ach ieve
|
||
optimum weed control when applied postemergence or when applied preplant or preemergence if weeds are present. Agriculturally
|
||
approved drift reducing additives may also be used.
|
||
Surfactant
|
||
The use of a Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) or Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) is recommended when DIFLEXX Duo is used or when
|
||
alternative adjuvants are not otherwise spec ified on this label. MSO or COC can improve control of weeds under stress, in high
|
||
populations, in mixed grass and broadleaf weed populations, and under c onditions of low humidity. Use MSO or COC at 1 gallon pe r
|
||
100 gallons of water (1% v/v). The MSO or COC should contain at least 80% MSO or COC and 10% emulsifier or greater.
|
||
As an alternative to traditional MSO or COC surfactants, High Su rfactant oil Concentrates (HSOC) at recommended rates may be us ed
|
||
with DIFLEXX Duo. An HSOC is an emulsifiable oil based product containing 25-50% surfactant (wt/wt) in a minimum of 50% oil
|
||
(wt/wt). The oil concentrates in HSOC can be based on MSO or COC. MSO or COC based products are preferred with DIFLEXX Duo
|
||
particularly when used alone or with atrazine.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
Use 1.5 qt/A of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or 8.5-17 lbs. per 100 gallons of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AM S).
|
||
Use UAN under conditions of low relative humidity for greater weed control.
|
||
SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT PROCEDURES
|
||
(Cleaning Equipment after DIFLEXX Duo Application)
|
||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much cleaning soluti on as
|
||
needed.
|
||
1. Remove, dump and clean main sump and boom str ainers in a standard commercial tank cleaner solution.
|
||
2. Disassemble nozzle bodies including screens, gaskets, and diaphr agm caps and clean in a standard commercial tank cleaner
|
||
solution.
|
||
3. Rinse walls of tank and all surfaces of tank to remove visible residue.
|
||
4. Reassemble nozzles and strainers.
|
||
5. Flush the system with clean water.
|
||
6. Add 25-50 gallons of water to spray tank. Add 1-2 gallons of household bleach to spray tank (1 gallon bleach for 25 gallons
|
||
water). Start agitation in the sprayer and re-cir culate the bleach-containing solution for 15 minutes.
|
||
7. Spray out the bleach-containing s olution until the tank is empty.
|
||
8. Rinse machine with clean water.
|
||
9. Dispose of all rinsat e in an appropriate manner.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo mixtures should be sprayed within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo is rain fast within 4 hours after application to most weed species.
|
||
LUADIS FLEXX Herbicide weed control may be reduced if:
|
||
o Rainfall occurs within 4 hours of application
|
||
o Weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain at time of application
|
||
Weeds are stressed and not actively growing due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures at
|
||
time of application
|
||
Avoid drift of DIFLEXX Duo onto adjacent crops.
|
||
Refer to the Resistance Management section of this label for s pecific precautions to help prevent weed resistance to this
|
||
product.
|
||
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind causes drift to off-site vegetation as injury may occur. DIFLEXX Duo delivered via drift or tank
|
||
contamination can cause severe damage to ot her crops. Careful management of spray drift and tank cleanout is required.
|
||
DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo with liquid fertilizers as the primary spray carrier. Only apply with water as the primary spray
|
||
carrier plus recommended adjuvants.
|
||
DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo by air or through any type of irrigation system.

SPECIFIC CROP USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo can be applied by ground equipment for preplant/pr eemergence burndown, preemergence or postemergence weed
|
||
control in field corn, seed corn, popcorn and corn grown for silage. DIFLEXX Duo is not for use on sweet corn. Best results ar e
|
||
obtained when the product is applied postemergence to young, actively growing weeds. DIFLEXX Duo will affect weeds that are larger
|
||
than the recommended height; however it may result in incomplete weed control.
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo should be a part of an integrated pest control program that may include herbicides, insecticides and/or fungicide a pplied
|
||
prior to, in tank mix with, or following a DIFLEXX Duo applicat ion. When using tank mix or sequential applications with DIFLEX X Duo,
|
||
always follow the companion product label to determine specific us e rates, application timings and pests controlled. In addition, follow
|
||
precautions and restrictions including state and loc al use restrictions that may apply to s pecific products. Always follow the directions
|
||
of the most restrictive label.
|
||
CORN Specific Precautions and Restrictions
|
||
Corn (field seed, pop and silage) can be planted immediately a fter an application of DIFLEXX Duo. DO NOT plant other
|
||
rotational crops immediately following DIFLEXX Duo application. For all other crops refer to the Rotational Crop Restrictions
|
||
section of this label.
|
||
Plant corn at least 1 ½ inches deep. Corn seed mu st be completely covered with soil and furrow firmed.
|
||
In rare instances, applications of DIFL EXX Duo during periods of rapid growth may result in temporary leaning of the crop.
|
||
Corn will usually become erect within 3 - 7 days. Cultivation should be delayed until after the corn is growing normally to avo id
|
||
potential stalk breakage.
|
||
Seed Corn and Popcorn Only - Herbicide sensitivity in all hybrids and inbreeds of seed corn and popcorn has not been
|
||
tested. Consult with your seed provider for advice on hybr id/inbred tolerance before applying DIFL EXX Duo. If the tolerance of
|
||
a hybrid/inbred is not known, apply DIFLEXX Duo to a small area to first determine if the hybrid/inbred is tolerant prior to
|
||
spraying large acreages of that hybrid/inbred.
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo may be apply up to 40 fl oz/A per acre per application.
|
||
The maximum seasonal rate of DIFLEXX Duo w hich can be applied is 78 fl oz/A per use season.
|
||
DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo to corn that exhibits injury from previous herbicide applications.
|
||
DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo with liquid fert ilizers as the primary spray carrier.
|
||
DO NOT apply more than two (2) applications of DIFLEXX Duo per use season
|
||
DO NOT graze or harvest corn forage within 45 days of the final DIFLEXX Duo application. Corn grain and stover may be
|
||
harvested once the crop has reached the ensilage (milk) stage.
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||
Use Rates
|
||
Apply DIFLEXX Duo postemergence at 24 - 40 fluid ounces per acre per application. Always add the appropriate adjuvants to the
|
||
spray tank (see SPRAY ADDITIVES section of this label). Use the higher application rates when one or more of the following situ ations
|
||
are present in the fields to be treated:
|
||
Weeds present have suspected/conf irmed resistance to either Group 4 (Au xin) or Group 27 (HPPD) mode-of-action
|
||
herbicides.
|
||
Heavy weed populations
|
||
Biennenial/perennial weeds listed on the label
|
||
Annual weeds taller than 6 inches
|
||
Applications of DIFLEXX Duo at rates less than recommended rate s may result in incomplete weed control and reduction in residua l
|
||
activity.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Application Method, Timing and Number of Sprays
|
||
Broadcast Application: DIFLEXX Duo may be applied to corn as a broadc ast spray application from emergence up to, but
|
||
not including, the V7 stage of growth (seventh leaf collar) or 36” tall, whichever occurs first.
|
||
Directed Application: DIFLEXX Duo should be applied as a directed spray applic ation when corn is from the V7 thru V10
|
||
stages of growth (7-10 collars), up to 36” tall, or up to 15 days prior to tassel, whichever occurs first. Directed sprays shou ld
|
||
also be used if corn leaves prevent proper sp ray coverage, sensitive crops are grown near by or when tank mixing with 2, 4-D.
|
||
Sequential Application: A maximum of two (2) applications of DIFLEXX Duo may be applied per growing season. Sequential
|
||
applications must be separated by a minimum of two (2) weeks.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Weed Control
|
||
To provide a broader spectrum of weed control in corn, DIFLEXX Duo may applied in tank mixtures with but not limited to the fol lowing
|
||
herbicides:
|
||
Atrazine
|
||
An application of DIFLEXX Duo in combination with atrazine at 0. 5 lb ai/A will increase the speed of control, weed spectrum
|
||
and consistency of control. Do not use atraz ine if corn is greater than 12 inches tall.
|
||
Liberty® 280 SL
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo can be tank mixed with Liberty® 280 SL Herbicide and used on corn seed designated as LibertyLink ®. Apply in
|
||
a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre . Do not use MSO/ESO or COC adjuvants in this mixture, only add AMS at 8.5
|
||
lbs/100 gallons (1.5 lb/A).
|
||
Glyphosate (including Roundup and Touchdown branded products)
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo can be tank mixed with glyphosate for use on gly phosate-tolerant corn. DIFLEXX Duo will enhance control of
|
||
broadleaf and glyphosate-resistant weeds, and w ill reduce glyphosate induced weed shifts.
|
||
If resistant weeds are present or sus pected, the use of an additional adjuvant may be necessary with glyphosate. Under these
|
||
circumstances, please refer to the SPRAY ADDITIVE – Surfactant section of this label.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the lis ted mixtures are registered for the intended us e. Users must
|
||
follow the most restrictive directions for use and prec autionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Insect Control
|
||
To provide weed and insect control in corn, DIFLEXX Duo ma y be used sequentially with all soil-applied insecticides or used
|
||
sequentially or in tank mix with most foliar-applied insecticides including Baythroid ® XL, Belt®, Oberon®, and other registered foliar
|
||
insecticides. DO NOT apply DIFLEXX Duo in tank mixtures with Lorsban® /chlorpyrifos insecticide. If DIFLEXX Duo is used
|
||
sequentially with foliar insecticides, applications should be separated by at least 7 days.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the lis ted mixtures are registered for the intended us e. Users must
|
||
follow the most restrictive directions for use and prec autionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Disease Control
|
||
To provide weed and disease control in corn, DIFLEXX Duo may be mixed with most foliar-applied fungicides including Stratego
|
||
YLD®, Proline® and Prosaro® and other registered fungicides.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the lis ted mixtures are registered for the intended us e. Users must
|
||
follow the most restrictive directions for use and prec autionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

|
||
PREPLANT/PREEMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||
Preplant/preemergence applications of DIFLEXX Duo may be made in either conventional, conservation tillage or no-till cropping
|
||
systems.
|
||
Use Rates
|
||
Apply DIFLEXX Duo at 32 - 40 fluid ounces per acre per applicat ion. Use the higher application rate when one or more of the fo llowing
|
||
situations are present in the fields to be treated:
|
||
Weeds present have suspected/confir med resistance to either Group 4 (Auxin) or Group 27 (HPPD) modes-of-action
|
||
herbicides.
|
||
Heavy weed populations
|
||
LAUDIX FLEXX Herbicide will provide early season suppression/control of certain broadleaf and grass weeds (see Table 5) but will
|
||
generally not provide season-long residual weed control. Preplant/preemergence applicat ions of DIFLEXX Duo should always be
|
||
either tank mixed with additional registered residual preemer gence herbicides or be followed by a planned postemergence herbici de
|
||
application program.
|
||
Application Method, Timing and Number of Sprays
|
||
Preplant/Preemergence Burndown: When weeds are present at the time of treat ment and prior to corn emergence, a tank
|
||
mixture of DIFLEXX Duo with MOS or COC is recommended for burndown of labeled weeds 6” or less in height. When
|
||
weeds are greater than 6” in height or weeds not controlled by DIFLEXX Duo are present, the addition of a burndown
|
||
herbicide such as glyphosate or Liberty is recommended. Addit ion of atrazine will also provide improved weed control.
|
||
Preemergence: Apply DIFLEXX Duo during planting (behind the planter afte r furrow closure) or after planting, but before
|
||
weeds emerge. Failure to thoroughly clos e and firm the seed furrow may allow herbicide to directly contact the seed which
|
||
can cause injury.
|
||
Sequential Application: A maximum of two (2) applications of DIFLEXX Duo may be applied per growing season. Sequential
|
||
applications must be separated by a minimum of two (2) weeks.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Weed Control
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo at 32 - 40 fluid ounces per acre may be used in a tank mixture with atrazine to improve spectrum and consistency of
|
||
weed control wherever atrazine use is permitted and appropriate. It may also be us ed with any additional registered preemergenc e
|
||
herbicide for use in corn. Always follow the companion produc t label to determine specific us e rates, application timings and pests
|
||
controlled. In addition, follow precautions and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that may apply to spec ific products.

POST HARVEST BURNDOWN APPLICATION
|
||
DIFLEXX Duo may be used as a postharvest burndown treatment to control broadleaf weeds at any time of the year following harvest
|
||
of corn or before planting of the next rotational crop. DIFL EXX Duo will be especially effective against broadleaf weed biotype s which
|
||
have developed resistance to glyphosate-, triazine-, ALS-inhibiting, aux in- and other herbicide modes-of- action. Specific rotational
|
||
crop intervals must be observed between t he postharvest application of DIFLEXX Duo and planting of the next rotated crop. Refer to
|
||
the ROTATIONAL CROP section of this label for specific crop rotation intervals.
|
||
Application Rates and Timings
|
||
Apply DIFLEXX Duo as a broadcast postemergence spray at 24-40 fluid ounces per acre plus recomm ended adjuvant system (refer to
|
||
the SPRAY ADDITIVES information section of this label. Best weed control will be achieved when applications are made to young,
|
||
actively growing weeds (refer to the WEED CONTROL TABLES 1-4 section for a complete listing of weeds controlled/suppressed).
|
||
Use the higher application rates when one or more of the follow ing situations are present in the fields to be treated:
|
||
Weeds present have suspected/confir med resistance to either Group 4 (Auxin) or Group 27 (HPPD) modes-of-action
|
||
herbicides.
|
||
Heavy weed populations
|
||
Biennenial/perennial weeds listed on the label
|
||
Annual weeds taller than 6 inches
|
||
Post Harvest Specific Precautions
