ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
CONCERT SP provides best poslemergence results when
applied to young. actively growing weeds_ Degree of
control and duration of effect depend on: application rate.
weed spectrum. weed size. growing conditions at and
following time of treatment. soil moisture. precipitation. and
spray adjuvants. Some weeds. such as lambsquarters. are
more affected by stress than others. Delay application until
streSS passes and weeds start to grow again_ Treating weeds
under stress or large weeds may result in only partial
control. Condilions that are conducive to healthy, actively
growing plants optimize Jle performance of CONCERT SP.
• If rain is expected within I hour. do Got apply CONCERT
SP. or weed control may be decreased.
• Applicalions made during or immediately following
periods of abnormally cold weather for soybeans may
result in less than satisfactory weed control.
• Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applica
tions made to plants under stress from
I
abnormal hot or cold weather.
• growing conditions such as drought or
water-saturated soil.
disease. or
nematode. insect. or prior herbicide injury.
Delay application until stress passes and weeds and
,oyocans resume growth. Severe stress from rnnditions
immediately following application may also result in crop
injury or poor weed control.
• Applications during periods of hot and humid we.!her
increase Ihe risk of crop injury
Wilting. temporary leaf yellowing. reddened veins. andlor
growth retardation of soybeans may follow application of
CONCERT SP. The growth retardation is generally in the
form of shone ned internode spacing. These effects will
generaily be most evident 5-7 days after application. The
soybeans will recover quickly under favorablr grnw;ng
conditions.

Field Bioassay for Other Crops
All other crops require a successful field bioassay.
The suggested interval before initiating a bioas"ay is
9 months. If the crop you want to plant docs not appear in the
table above. you must complete a successful field :>ioassay
during the season before planting. 111c field bioassay will detect
small quantities of CONCERT SP that can remain in the soil

rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
A steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks is recommended to
dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an
extended period to apply multiple loads of CONCERT SP,
partially fill ule tank with fresh water at U,e end of each day of
spraying, flush the boom and hoses. and allow 10 sit
overnight.
Cleanup Plocedure
I. Drain li'~ ;ank and thoroughl) hose down the interior
surfaces. Flush the tank. hosc:;, and boom with clean
water for a minimum of 5 minutes.
2. Partially till the tank with clean water and add one gallon
of household ammonia" (containing 3% active) for every
100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water,
then flush the c1euning solution through th~ hoses, boom,
and nozzles. Add more water to com-pletely fill the IlIlk
and allow 10 agitate/recirculate for al lea.<t 15 minutes.
Again, flush the hoses, Jy~:>m, and nozzles with the
cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
3. Repeat Step 2.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a
bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a
minimum of 5 minutes, flUShing the water through the
hoses and boom.
• Equivalent amounlS of an alternate strength ammonia solution
may be used, or a tank cleaner recomMended in the DuPont
bulletin "Sulfonylurea Herbicides. A Guide 10 Equipment

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
111c interaction of many equipment and weather -related factors
detennines the potential for spray drift The applicator is
responsible for considering all these factors when making appli
calion decisions.
AVOIDIl'<G SPRA Y DRH'T IS TilE RESPONSmn.ITY OF

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large
droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). 111c best drift managemenl
suategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
coverage and control. 111c presence of sensitive species nem,y,

Pressure - Usc the lower spmy pressures reconuncnded for
the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and docs not
improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW
RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY
N07ZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application. With mostnozzie types, IIdITower spmy
angles produce larger dropl~r~. C,.,o:cler using I"w-drift
noules.
Controlling Droplet Size· Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noules
with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting noules so that the spray is
emined backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce
larger droplets than other orientations.
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core
with swirl piate removed) oriented straight back produce
larger droplets than other noule types.
Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of
the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift
potential.
Application Height - Application more than lOft above the
canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
BOOM HEIGHT
Sening the boom at the lowest labeled height (If specified)
which provides unifoml coverage reduces the exposure of
droplets to evaporatiOlI and wind. For ground equipment. the
boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
boonce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due
10 inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
factors, including droplet size and equipmcnttype detennine
driti potential at any given wind speed. A VOID GUSTY OR
WINDLESS CONDmONS.
Note: Local terrain c;m influence wind pallems. Every appli
calor should be familiar With local wmd pallems and how they
affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications In hot and dry conditions, sci up
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
C"'lpordlion.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature mversion.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing. which
causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground

Inversions arc lharal:tcriled by increasing lempcmture with

SHIELDED SPRA YERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the
effeclS of wind. H:>wever, it is the responsibility of the appli
cator to verify that the shields arc preventing drift and not
interfering with unifonn deposition of the product.
INFORMATION ON RESISTANT WEEDS
(,~'I
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used
repeatedly over several years to control the same weed
species in the same field. naturally-occuning resistant ,·.·eed
biotypes may survive a correctly applicd herbicide
treatment, propagate. arid become dominant in that field.
These resistant weed biotypes may not be adequately
controlled. Cultural practices such .. nillage. preventing
weed escapes from going to seed. and using herbicides with
different modes of action within and belWeen crop seasons
can aid in delaying the proliferation and possible dominance
of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

F..NVIRONMENTAL CONDmON~ AND BIOLOGICAL ACflVTIY
CONCERT SP rapidly inhibits the growth of su.reptible weeds. reduc
ing weed competition hours after applic.tion. Leayes tum yellow 5-7
days after postemergenee applicalion. followed by death of the weed's
growing point. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21 days. Death of
leaf tissue will follow in some species, while others will remain green
but stunted and noncompetitive.
CONCERT SP proyides best postemergence results wh-, applied to
young. actiYely growing weeds. Degree of control and duration of effect
depend 011: application rate. weed spectrum. weed size. growing condi
tions at and following time of treatment. soil moisture. precipitation.
and spray adjuvants, Some weeds. such as lambsquarters, are more
affected by stress than others. Delay application until ',ress passes and
weeds sUirt to grow again. Treallng weeds under slress or large weeds
may resull in only partial control. Condilions Iba! are conduciye to
healthy. lctiyely growing plants optimize tbe performance of
CONCERTSP.
If rain is expected within I bour. do not apply CONCERT SP. or weed
conrrol may he decreased.
Applications made during or immediately following periods uf abnor
mally cold weather for soybeans moy resull in less than satlSfactory
weed conlrol.
Poor weed conlrol may result from applications made to plants under
stress from abnormal hot or cold weather, growing conditions such as
droughl or water· saturated soil. disease. or nematode. insect, or prior
herbicide if.jury. Delay application until slress passes and weeds and
soybeans resume growth. Severe stress from conditions immediately
following application may also resull poor weed control.
CULTIVATION
A timely cullivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds.
weeds that were beyond the maximum size :11 the time of application, or
weeds that emerge after an application of CONCERT SP.
Do not cultiyate before. during. or within 7 days after the application.
Cultiyation may decrease wccd control by pruning roots and placing
the weed under stress.
The best time to cultiyate is approximately 14 days after application.

defined to include only that com grown for ~rain or silage, popcorn. and
seed com relative to the Rotational Crop Guidelines seclion of this label.
"Field Rioassay for Other Crops. All other crops require a successful
field bIoassay. The suggested interval before initiating a bioassay is 9
months. If the crop you want to plant does not appear in the table above.
you must complete a successful field bioassay during the season before
planting. The field bio"-'5ay will detect small quantiti ... of CONCERT
SP that can remain in the soil and could potentially injure rotalional
crops. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip
of crop(,) intended for production the following year. The test strip
should cross the whole field. including Itnolls and low areas.
SPRAYER PREPARATION AND CLEANUP
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesti
cide deposits before wing CONCERT SP. and then properly cleaned out

('rccautioru:
A temporary crop response should be expected following an applica
tion of "Blaze,". Soybean leaves which are open at the time of "ppli
cation will show some bum, bronzing and specklir.g. Soybc'.ans will
quickly outgrow these herbicide effects.
Best results are obtained when applications are made to weeds and
soybeans which are young and actively growing. Applications made
whr.n the crop and weeds are under stress f!"om moisture. cold. heal,
high humidity, disease, insect pressure and prior herbicide stles:;
may result in excessive crop response and/or reduced weed control
effectiveness.
A tank mix 0' CCJNCER r 51' + "Blaze'-' has occasionally resulted in
~light reductions In control (ar.lagonism) of some broa1le1.f species
versus appli1.'3tien of CONCERT SP alone. This antagonism can be
largely overcome by making tank mix applications when the weeds
arc at the smaller end of the size range gi .cn and when applications
arc made under good growmg conditions and when weeds are free
from stress. Altematively, a sequential application program should
be considered.
CONCERT 51' + "Blaze," may be tank mixed with a po'teme'gence
