ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS F9387-1 HERBICIDE (referred to below as F9387-1) is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. Groundwater Advisory This chemical and its degradation products have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Surface Water Advisory This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of F9387-1 from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Non-target Organism Advisory This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms., including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift.

Physical/Chemical Hazards

DO NOT use or store near heat or open flame.

PRODUCT INFORMATION F9387-1 herbicide contains two active ingredients possessing both contact and systemic activity that can be applied Post emergence for selective control of broadleaf weeds in field corn, seed corn, yellow pop-corn, sweet corn. DO NOT apply to White Popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn. When applied as POST application it may take 2 to 15 days to kill the weeds on the list. The product is absorbed through the soil and /or by the weed foliage. For effective control of grasses, F9387-1 can be tank mixed with other POST grass herbicides to provide broader spectrum weed control in corn. F9387-1 application can also be combined with a burndown herbicide, prior to planting, to provide added burndown and residual weed control in field corn, seed corn, yellow popcorn, and sweet corn. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direction for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

WEED RESITANCE MANAGEMENT F9387-1 contains both a Group 14 (fluthiacet-methyl) and a Group 27 (mesotrione) herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance. The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance

management program. To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should: • Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present • Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage. • Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches). • Apply full rates of F9387-1 for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes. • Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species. • Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively. • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. • Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple effective sites of actions for each target weed. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 14 and Group 27 and/or use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. • Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators: • Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; • A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and • Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is practical: • Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control program. • Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action. • Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 14/Group 27 herbicides. • Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program. • Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness. • Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds. • Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Misuse Statement It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR WEED CONTROL, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. Utilize a sprayer equipped with the appropriate nozzles providing optimum spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating pressures. Utilize nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray droplets to avoid spray drift. Apply a minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray solution per acre by ground. If a dense crop and or weed canopy is present use a minimum of 15 gallons per acre of finished spray volume by ground application. For best results apply F9387-1 with medium spray droplets. The sprayer must be properly calibrated to deliver the appropriate volume of herbicide solution. Be aware that overlaps and slower ground speeds while starting, stopping or turning while spraying may result in excessive application and subsequent crop response. Mix the amount which will be used for spraying on that day. Restrictions • DO NOT exceed 3.15 fl oz of F9387-1 /A (0.0053 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl + 0.0931 lb ai/A mesotrione) in a single postemergence application. • DO NOT apply more than a total of 5.25 fl oz of F9387-1/A (0.0089 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl + 0.155 lb ai/A mesotrione) per year including preplant burndown and labeled postemergence applications to corn. • DO NOT exceed 2 applications of F9387-1 per year. • DO NOT apply more than 0.0089 lb ai/A of fluthiacet-methyl or 0.24 lb ai/A of mesotrione per year including all preplant or postemergence herbicides containing these active ingredients. • DO NOT make the second application of F9387-1 within 14 days of the first application. • DO NOT harvest or feed forage within 45 days after application. • DO NOT harvest or feed grain or stover (fodder) within 70 days after application. • DO NOT harvest or feed sweet corn forage or ears within 40 days after application. • DO NOT include nitrogen based adjuvants (UAN or AMS) when making postemergence applications of F9387-1 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn. • DO NOT apply F9387-1 to white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn. • DO NOT apply to corn that is more than 12 inches in height if atrazine is mixed with F9387-1 • DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. • DO NOT use aerial application to apply F9387-1. • DO NOT harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application. • DO NOT apply this product with suspension fertilizers as the carrier. • DO NOT apply product postemergence in a tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate grass herbicides, unless specifically addressed under one of the tank mix sections of this label, or injury may occur. Precautions

1. Avoid drift onto adjacent crops.
2. Severe corn injury may occur if F9387-1 is applied postemergence to corn that was treated with Counter® (EPA Reg. No. 5481-562, Terbufos) or Lorsban® (Lorsban® 15G Granular Insecticide (62719-34), Lorsban 50W in Water Soluble Packets Insecticide (62719-221), Lorsban® Advanced Insecticide (62719-591), Lorsban®-4E insecticide (62719-220), Chlorpyrifos) in-furrow at planting, which may result in corn crop yield loss.
3. Severe corn injury may occur if F9387-1 is applied foliar postemergence in a tank mix with any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide which may result in corn crop yield loss.
4. Severe corn injury may occur if any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide is applied foliar postemergence within 7 days before or 7 days after F9387-1 application, which may result in corn crop yield loss.
5. DO NOT cultivate corn within 7 days before or after a F9387-1 application as weed control from the F9387-1 application may be reduced.

Rainfastness F9387-1 requires a minimum of 1 hour rain-free period after application for best results when applied postemergence. Cultivation DO NOT cultivate immediately prior to post-emergence application. Cultivation may put weeds under stress, reducing weed control. Timely cultivation 1-3 weeks after applying F9387-1 may assist weed control.

POSTEMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and must provide accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Good coverage of foliage is essential for optimum weed control. Boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications must be based on the height of the crop - at least 18 inches above the crop canopy. Apply in a spray volume of 10-30 gals./A. Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi at the nozzles and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 15 gals. Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110° are advised for optimum postemergence coverage. DO NOT use floodjet nozzles, extremely coarse droplet nozzles, or controlled droplet application equipment for postemergence applications. Nozzles may be angled forward 45° to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. Ensure that all in- line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.

Adjuvant Requirements An adjuvant or a product containing an adjuvant is required with F9387-1 for maximum consistent performance. Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 may be used in spray mixture.

Postemergence Applications to Field Corn and Seed Corn Add crop oil concentrate (COC) to the Postemergence application at the rate of 0.5 to 1.0 gal./100 gals. of water (0.5% to 1.0% v/v). The use of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt./100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v) instead of COC is allowed, but the weed control achieved with COC is consistently better than NIS. The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend adjuvants for postemergence applications of F9387-1 may cause severe crop injury. In addition to COC, always add spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray solution at a rate of 2.5% (v/v) or AMS at 8.5 lb./100 gals. of spray solution, except if precluded elsewhere on this label. If F9387-1 is being tank mixed with another registered herbicide in this situation, refer to the tank mix partner label for adjuvant precautions and restrictions and follow the most restrictive requirements. DO NOT use liquid fertilizer as the total carrier solution except for preplant burndown applications.

Postemergence Applications to Sweet Corn and Yellow Popcorn DO NOT add UAN or AMS when making postemergence applications of F9387-1 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn, or severe crop injury may occur. For postemergence applications to yellow popcorn and sweet corn , use nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt./100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v) to minimize the risk of crop injury. A COC may be used, and will increase the level of weed control achieved, especially under dry growing conditions, but the risk of crop injury is increased. For optimum control, the addition of atrazine is advised wherever rotational or local atrazine restrictions allow.

Mixing F9387-1 Alone

1. Add 1/4-1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the required amount of F9387-1 to the spray tank. Continue agitation in the spray tank and allow product to fully and uniformly disperse.
3. Add the spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the rest of the water.
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

Mixing F9387-1 in Tank Mixtures with Other Pesticides F9387-1 is compatible with most commonly used herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. Follow WALE (Wettable/dry, Agitate, Liquids, and Emulsifiable Concentrates) mixing guidelines. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflicts with this F9387-1 label, DO NOT use in a tank mixture with F9387-1.

Tank Mixing Steps

1. Add 1/4 -1/2 of the required amount of clean water to the spray or mixing tank.

2. While maintaining agitation, continue filling the spray tank. When the tank is 3/4 full, add any dry formulation tank mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse.

3. Add the required amount of F9387-1 to the spray tank while maintaining agitation. After the product has completely and uniformly dispersed into the tank mix, add any other liquid tank mix partners and allow them to completely and uniformly disperse.

4. Add the proper amount of spray adjuvant and continue agitation while adding the remaining water.

5. Complete filling the tank with clean water and maintain sufficient agitation at all times to insure surface action until the mixture is uniform.

6. After use, thoroughly clean the sprayer according to this label (see Cleaning Spray Equipment) and any tank mix partner labels. Compatibility Test A jar test is advised before mixing to ensure F9387-1 compatibility with tank mix partners and adjuvants. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredient rates.

7. Add 1.0 pt. of water to each of 2 one-quart jars. Note: Use the same source of water and the other components in the compatibility test that will actually be tank mixed and applied. It is important that all components are mixed at a temperature similar to the temperature of those used for the actual application.

8. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.

9. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Finally, add the appropriate amount of any adjuvants that will be used. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows: Dry Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.4 tsp. to each jar. Liquid Herbicides and Adjuvants: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp. or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.

10. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15- 30 minutes and look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility. a. Slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or b. Add 1/2 the compatibility agent to the water and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, DO NOT use the mixture. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes according to the Storage and Disposal section of this label.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Ground Boom Applications: • Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS Take precautions to minimize spray drift

DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA). CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS Immediate: Corn (field, seed, sweet corn and pop) Following harvest of corn the following crops may be planted immediately: Asparagus, cranberry, flex, millet(pearl), grasses grown for seed (Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue), oats, rhubarb, sorghum (grain and sweet), and sugarcane. Following harvest of corn and not less than 4 months after application of F9387-1, the following crops may be planted: Small grains including wheat, barley, and rye. Following harvest of corn and not less than 10 months after application of F9387-1, the following crops may be planted: Alfalfa, blueberry, canola, cotton, lingonberry, peanuts, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, okra and rice can be planted back the following season. If F9387-1 is applied postemergence following a mesotrione-containing preemergence herbicide, only corn (field, seed and pop) or grain sorghum may be replanted the year following application or severe crop injury may occur. Following harvest of corn and not less than 18 months after application of F9387-1, the following crops may be planted: Sugar beets, dry beans, snap beans, cucurbits, red clover, and all other rotational crops may be replanted 18 months after application of F9387-1. REPLANTING INSTRUCTIONS If replanting is necessary in fields previously treated with F9387-1, the field may be replanted to Corn (field, seed and pop). If tank-mix combinations were used, refer to product labels for any additional replanting instructions. SPRAYER EQUIPMENT CLEAN-OUT Many pesticides are very active at low rates, especially to sensitive crops. Residues left in mixing equipment, spray tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after spraying F9387-1 and before using the sprayer equipment for any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with F9387-1 as required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning can be achieved if the spray system is cleaned immediately following the application.

1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a high-pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse. Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in the ammonia solution of Step 2.

2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of clean water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.

3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in the spray tank, hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.

4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip) separately in an ammonia solution.

5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and guidelines.

6. DO NOT apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.

7. If the sprayer sets overnight or for any extended period of time with F9387-1 spray solution, the spray tank needs to be agitated and purge the spray boom and nozzles before beginning any application.

8. Small quantities of F9387-1 remaining in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, could be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects due to inadequately cleaned equipment.

9. When F9387-1 has been tank mixed refer to the label of the product used previously or tank mixed with F9387- 1 for cleaning instructions.

10. DO NOT drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants.

11. DO NOT contaminate any body of water including irrigation water that may be used on other crops.

WEEDS CONTROLLED F9387-1 Application Alone At the rates and weed size listed, F9387-1 controls or suppresses the weeds listed in Table 1 when the product is applied alone. Weeds larger than the size indicated in Table 1 may only be partially controlled. For best postemergence results, apply F9387-1 to actively growing weeds. Dry weather following application of F9387-1 may reduce residual weed control effectiveness. F9387-1 applied alone or in mixture with atrazine will not provide consistent or effective control of weeds identified as resistant to postemergence group 27 herbicides. Table 1.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS CORN (Includes field corn, seed corn, sweet corn and yellow popcorn) Timing and Method of Application: Preplant Burndown Apply F9387-1 Herbicide from 2 to 3.75 fl oz/A (0.0034 – 0.0063 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl + 0.0591 – 0.111 lb ai/A mesotrione) with other registered burndown herbicides in water or liquid fertilizers as a burn-down treatment to control or suppress weeds prior to planting. For improved broadleaf weed control with limited residual control prior to planting corn and before corn emergence, apply F9387-1 in tank mixes with Aim® (EPA Reg. No. 279-3241,Carfentrazone-ethyl), paraquat, glyphosate, glufosinate, dicamba, Sharpen ® (EPA Reg. No. 7969-278, Saflufenacil), and 2,4-D. Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled. Always use the most restrictive label language when applied in a tank mix. For optimum performance make applications to actively growing weeds. Postemergence Application Use Rate: Apply F9387-1 at 2.5 to 3.15 fl oz/A (0.0042 – 0.0053 lb ai/A fluthiacet-methyl + 0.074 – 0.0931 lb ai/A mesotrione) Refer to weed table 1 for specific use rate requirements. F9387-1 may be applied broadcast postemergence up to the V8 growth stage (or 30 inches tall). The spray boom must be maintained at a minimum of 18 inches above the crop canopy to ensure uniform spray delivery and avoid concentrating spray in corn whorls. For optimum performance, make application to actively growing weeds <5 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Application after weeds have reached the listed maximum height for control could result in commercially unacceptable weed control. F9387-1 herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for use in corn to improve weed spectrum or general weed control unless restricted under the corn crop section. Refer to seed company requirements for use on field corn inbred lines. Special adjuvant restrictions must be followed for postemergence applications of F9387-1 in yellow popcorn or sweet corn (see the spray adjuvant recommendation in the Directions For Use Section). Postemergence applications (after crop emergence) of F9387-1 may cause crop bleaching, leaf speckling in field corn, yellow popcorn and sweet corn hybrids. Crop bleaching, leaf speckling is typically transitory and has no effect on final yield or quality. However, herbicide sensitivity in yellow popcorn and sweet corn varies widely, and all yellow popcorn and sweet corn hybrids have not been tested. Contact your popcorn or sweet corn company, Field man, or University Specialist about hybrid requirements before making a postemergence application of F9387-1 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn.
