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
Action Committee (HRAC) on the web at http://www.hracglobal.com.

ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS
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.

beans must total 20 inches. Furrow or flood irrigation cannot be included in th e total. The amount of cumulative
precipitation required before planting a rotational crop is in addition to the required rotational interval given in
months.
2 Thorough tillage should follow the crop in which DIFLEXX D uo was used and precede the rotation to sugar beets.
3 This plantback interval requires that onion crops be grown under irrigated conditions. The plantback interval for non-irrigate d onion
is 18 months
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 manufacturers 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 manufacturers 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 manufacturers 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.
12
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 users 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 users 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 users responsibility to ensure that all products in the lis ted mixtures are registered for the intended us e. Users must

13
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.
Always follow the directions of the most restrictive label.
14
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
 If applying DIFLEXX Duo postharvest, only corn (field, seed and pop) may be planted immediately. Refer to the ROTATIONAL
CROP section of this label for specific crop rotation intervals.
Post Harvest Specific Restrictions
 DO NOT apply more than two (2) applications of DIFLEXX Duo per use season
 DO NOT exceed a maximum seasonal cumulative amount of 78 fluid ounces per acre of DIFLEXX Duo per use season
 DO NOT graze livestock or harvest corn forage within 45 days of application.
Tank Mixture Recommandations
