Some weeds, such as larnbsquarters, are more affected by ,tress 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. Conditions that are conducive to healthy, actively growing plants optimize the performance of CONCERT. • If rain is expe,ted within I hour. do nOi apply CONCERT. or weed control may be decreased. • Applications 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 • 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 soybeans resume growth. Severe stress from conditions immediately following application may also result in crop injury or poor weed COlotrol. • Applications during periods of hot and humid weather increase the risk of crop injury. Wilting, temporary leaf yellowing, reddened veins, andlor growth retardation of soybeans may follow application of CONCERT. The growth retardation is generally in the form of shortened internode si>acing. These effects will generally be most evident 5-1 days after application. The soybeans will recover quickly under favorable growing conditions. CONCERT rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible ·,>;eeds. reducing weed competition hours after application.

CULTIVATION A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, weeds that were beyond Ole maximum size at the t,me of application, or weeds that emerge after an applica tion of CONCERT. • Do nol cultivate before, during, or within 1 days after the application. Cultivalion may decrea,e weed control by pruning roots and placmg Ihe weed under stress. • The besl time 10 cultivale is approximalely 14 days afler applicalion.
) ) CROP ROTATION Rotational Crop Intervals for CONCERT The following rotational intervals must be observed whell using CONCERT: erO!! Rotational Interval In Monl!>s So;r:beans An;r:time Cereal Grains 3 R;r:e!lrass 3 Field Com" 9 Colton 9 Alfalfa 9 Clover 9 Dry Beans 9 Sor!lhum 9 Peanul 6 Rice 9 Tobacco !transl!lanQ 9 Tomato !transl!lanQ 9 • When using CONCERT Herbicide, the tenn "FIELD CORN" is defined to include only that corn grown for grain or silage, popcorn, and seed com relalive to the Rotational Crop Guidelines section of this label. Field Bioassay for Other Crops All ether 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 bioassay will detect small quantities of CONCERT that can remain in the soil and could potentially injure rotational crops. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of crop(s) intended for production the following year. The test strip should cross the whole field, including knolls and low areas. SPRAYER PREPARATION AND CLEANUP It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposiL' before using CONCERT, and then properly cleaned out following application. aean all applica tion equipment before applying CONCERT. Follow the cleanup procedurrs specified on the label of the product previ ously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, usc the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications of CONCERT, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid applicatiom to crops other than soybeans. NollS When cleaning spray eqUIpment before applying CONCERT, read and follow label directions for propel rins.te disposal of the r-oduct previously sprayed.

Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with dean water for a minimum of 5 minutes. 2. Partially fill the tanK with clean water and add One gallor. of household ammonia" (containing 3% active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution through the hoses. boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again. flush the hoses, boom. and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank. 3. Repeat Step 2. 4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean sepa lItely 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 amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution may be used, or a tank cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea Herbicides. A Guide to Equipment Cleanout. " SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making appli cation decisions. A VOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBJUfY OF THe APPUCA TOR. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is 10 apply large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby. the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFr POTENTIAL, BlIT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFr IF APPUCA nONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE E/Io'VI RONMENTAL CONDmONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity. and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. ContrOlling Droplet Size - General Techniques Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces dropkt size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RA 11'.5 ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER·CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. Nozzle Type - Use a nonle type that is designed for the intended application. With ITl<"t n07zle types, n"rmwer spray angles produce larger droplcl'. Consi,ler using low·drift nooks.
)
)
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
Number or Nozzles - Usc the minimum number of nozzles
with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation· Orienting nozzles so that the spray is
emitted backwards. parallel to the airsam will produce
larger droplets than other orientations.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core
with swrrl plate removed) oriented strnight back produce
larger droplers than other nozzle 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 IIlOIe than \0 ft above the
canopy increases the potential for spray drift
BOOM HEIGHT
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified)
which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure L
droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the
boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due
to inversion potenticl) or more than \0 mph. However. many
factors. including droplet size and equipment type determine
drift potential at any given wind speed. A VOID GUSTY OR
WINDLESS CONDmONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind panerns. Every appli·
cator should be familiar with local wind panems and how they
affect spray drift
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions. set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
Tmperature inversions restrict venical air mixing. which
causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground
and move laterally in a concentr .. ted cloud. Temperature
inversions arc characterized by increasing temperature with
altitude and arc common on nights with limited cloud cover
and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and
often continue into the morning. Their presence can be
indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inver
sions can also be identified 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 dissipares indicates good venical
air miXing.
SHIELDED SPRA YERS
Shielding the boom or individual nonles can reduce the
effects of wind. However, it is rhe responsibility of the appli·
calor to verify that the shields arc preventing drift ami not
interfering with uniform dCPo\llion of the pnKluc1.
INFORMATION ON RESISTANT WEEDS
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used
repeatedly over several years to control the sme weed
species in the same field, naturally. occurring resistant weed
biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
'These resistant weed biotypes may not be adequately
controlled. Cultural practices such as tillage, preventing
weed escapes from going to seed, and using helbicides with
different modes of action within and between crop seasons
can aid in delaying the proliferation and possible dominanc~
of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.

Pncautions
A lemporary crop response should be expecled following an applica
lion of "Reflex·· 2LC. Soybean leaves which are open at Ihe lime of
applicalion will show some bum. bronzing. crinkling and sponing.
Soybeans will quickly oUlgrow Ihese herbici.!e effecls.
Best results are obtained when applications are made to weeds and
soybeans which are young and actively growing. Applicalions made
when the crop and weeds are under stress from moisture. cold. heat,
high humidity. disease, insect pressure and prior herbicide stress
may result In excessive crop response and/or reduced weed control
effectiveness.
A lank mix of CONCERT + "Reflex·' 2LC has occasionally resulled
in slighl reduclions in conlrol (anlagonism) of some broad leaf species
vo"us applicalion of CONCERT alone. This antagonism can be
largely overcome by making lank mix applications when Ihe weeds
are al Ihe smaller end of Ihe size range given and when applications
arc made under good growing conditions and When weeds are free
from stress. Alternatively. a sequential application program should
he conidcrC"d.
CONCERT + ··Reflcx·· 2LC may he lank mixed wilh a po sIc mer·
gence grass herbIcide such as DuPonl ASSURE" II Herbicide.
However. tank mixing of a postemergence grass herbicide with poste·
mergence broadleaf herbicides such as CONCERT and ··Reflex" 2LC
may result In a rcdllc!ion of effectiveness of the polc01ergenC(.. grass
herbicide on some grass species (antagonism). Bcst results arc

HOW TO USE
Tank Mixes
DuPonl CONCERT Herbicide may be tank mixed wilh a «dueed rate of
"Cobra" for conlrol of easlem black nightshade and common waler
hemp and may also aid in control or suppression of other weed species
Refer to the "Cobra" label for other weeds which may be controlled or
suppressed and the maximum size at application.
Rate
Use CONCERT at a rale of 1/2 ounce per acre. Refer 10 Ihe CONCERT
label for the size and species of weeds conI rolled. To control small
nightshade (a maximum of 2" in hcighl). andlor common walerhemp (a
maximum of 4" in height). add "Cobra" at a rate of 4 to 6 fluid ounces
per acre. Usc the higher rate of "Cobra" for nightshade and waterhemp
at or ncar the maximum size.
Adjuvant.
) Nonionic surfactant or crop oil concentrate must be added to the tank
m,x. Usc as directed on the CONCERT label. If applying CONCERT

Sequential Application Program
Apply CONCERT as directed an the product label. If nightshade or
common w.terhemp emer,.es following an application of CONCERT.
"Cobra" maybe appl;ed at a reduced rate of 4 to 6 fluid ounces per aerc.
At this reduced rate nightshade must not exceeJ 2" in height and water
hemp must not exceed 4" in height. If these weeds exceed these si7.e5
or if other weeds are present, refer to the "Cobra" label for rate and use
rccommendations. To minimize crop response an interval of at least
seven days between applicatip.ns is recommended.
Refer to the "Cob,," label for recommend,d surfactant and fertilizer
adjuvants.
Precautions
A temporary crop response s
ould be expected following an aphca tion of "Cobra". Soybean leaves which are open at the time of appli cation will show some burn, bronzing and speckling. Trifoliate soyb...n leaves which have emrged but are unopened at the time of ,pplieation may appear cupped at the tip andlor crinkled along the edges of the leaf. Soybeans will quickly outgrow these herbicide effects. Bst resulls arc obtained when applications ale made to weeds and soybeans ·which are young and actively growing. Applic:llions made when the crop and weeds are under stress from moisf'Jrc, cold, heat, hIgh humidity, disease. insect pressure and prior herbicide stress may result in exccssive crop reponse andlor reduced weed contlol effectiveness.

made. "Pursuit"' may be applied at a rate of 2.0 ounces per acre ior
control of small. aClively growing eastern black nightshade that does not
exceed 2" in height. A minimum inlerval of 7 days between the
CONCERT application and follow-up "Pursuil" treatment is advised to
reduce the potential for crop injury and unsatisfactory weed control.
Soybeans should be frcc from stress and aClively growing when the
follow-up application is made. The soybean plants should have al leasl
one newly emerged fully expanded Irifoliate prior to the follow-up

HOW TO USE
DuPont CONCERT Ilerbicide may be tank mi.ed with "Blazer" for
control of broadleaf weeds not controlled by CONCERT applied alone
in soybeans. Refer to the "Blazer" label for other weeds which may be
controlled or suppressed and the maximum size at application.

label for the appropriate rate based on the weeds to be cont'olled and
their size at the time of application.
Adjuvants
Nonionic surfactant must be added to the tank mi. at a rate of 0.125 to
0.25% vlv (2 to 4 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution), Use as
directed on the CONCERT label,
Use of crop oil concentrate or vegetable origin oil is not recommended,
as severe crop injury may occur.

Precautions
A temporary crop response should be expected following an applica
tion of "Blazer". Soybean leaves which are open al the time of appli
cation will show some bum, bronzing and speckling. Soybeans will
quickly outgrow these herhicide effects.
Best results arc obtained when applicat!ons are made to weeds and soy
bear.s which arc young and actively growing, Applications made when
the crop and weeds are under stress from moisture, cold, heat, high
humidity, disease, insect pressure and prior herbicide stress may result
in excessive crop response and/or reduced weed control effectiveness.
A tank mix of CONCERT + "Blazer" has occasionally resulted in
slight reductions in control (antagonism) of some broad leaf species
"crsus application of CONCERT alone. This antagonism can be
largely overcome by making tank mix applications when the weeds
are at the smaller end of the size range given and when applications
are made under good growing conditions and when weeds are free
from stress. Alternatively, a sequential application program should
be considered.
CONCERT + "Blazer" may be tank mixed with a postemergence
grass herbicide such as DuPont ASSURE" II Herbicide. However,
tank mixing of a postemergence grass herbicide y.oith postemcrgencr.
broad leaf herbicides such as CONCERT and "Blazer" may result in a
reduction of effectiveness of the postemergence grass herbicide on
some grass species (antagonism). Best results are obtained if the
grass herbicide is applied in a sequential program one day before or
seven days following an application of the broad leaf herbicides.
Refer to the postemergence grass herbicide label for additional mfor
mation on antagonism.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Many crops are highly sensitive 10 CONCERT and CONCERT +
CLASSIC. All direct or indirect contacl (such as spray drift) with crops
o!bet than soybeans should be avoided.
GnMlnd AppUcatlOD:
Broadcasl Application
• Use 10-25 gallons of water per ICre.
• Use flat fan nozzles al 25-60 psi.
• Do not use flood, hollow cone, rain drop, whirl chamber, or con
trolled droplet applicator (CDA) Iype nozzles. Excessive spray drift,
or poor weed control may result.
For proper spray coverage, adjust the boom and nozzle height accord
ing to the specifications listed by the nozzle manufacturer.
Band Application
Fo, band application, use proportionately less spray mixture.
Carefully calibrate the band applicator to r.at exceed the labl-Ied rate.
Carefully follow the manufactures instructions for nozzle types (flat
fan nozzles preferred), nozzle orientation, distance of the nozzles from
the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration, and spray pressure.
For additional information on row banders, see DuPont bulletin.
"Application Accuracy Row Banders,"
.' 'rial Application
Use nozzle types and arrangemenls thaI will provide for optimum
spray distribution and maximum coverage at 5 to 10 GPA.
Do not apply during a temperature-inversion condition, when winds
are gusty, or when other conditions will favor poor coverage and/or
off·target spray movement.
Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDmONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
CONCERT rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds, reducmg
weed competition hours after application. Leaves tum yellow 5·7 days
after postemergence application, followed by death of Ihe weed's
growing poin'. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7-21 days. De"h of
leaf tissue will follow in some speci~s. while others will rer.!lin green
but stunled and noncompetitive.
CONCERT provides best postemergence results when applied to young,
actively growing weeds. Degree of control and duration of effect
depend on: application rale. weed spectrum. weed size, growing condi
tions at and following time of treatment. soil moisture. precipitation,
and spray adjuvants. Some weeds. such as h:mbsquarters. are more
affected by stress than others. Delay application until stress passes and
weeds start 10 grow again. Treating weeds under stress or large weeds
may result in only partial control. Conditions that are conducive to
healthy. actIvely growing plants optimize the performance of
CONCERT.
If rain is expected WIthin I h(lUf, do not apply CONCERT. or weed
control may be drcrr3co<"d
) . . ) _.
\
Applications made during or immediately following periods of abnor
mally cold weather for soybeans may result in less than sai:isfactory
weed control.
POOl weed control may r<.Sult from applications made to plants under
stress from abnormal hot or cold weather, growing conditions such as
drought or water-saturated soil, disease, or nemat'lde, insect, or prior
herbicide injury. Delay application until stress passes and weeds and
soybeans resume growth. Severe stress (rom conditions immediately
following application may also result poor weed control.
CULTIVATION
.\ timely cultivation may be necessary 10 conlrol suppressed weeds,
weeds that were beyond the maximum size al the time of application, or
weeds that emerge after an application of CONCERT.
• Do not cultivale before, during, or within 7 days after the application.
• Cultivation may decrease weed control by pruning roots and placing
lbe weed under stress.
The besl time to cultivale is approximalely 14 days afler application.

Field Bioassay··
" When using CONCERT Herbicide. the term "FIELD CORN" is
defined to include only that com grown for grain or silage, popcorn, and
seed com relative to the Rotauonal Crop Guidelines section of this label.
""Field Dioassay 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 bioassay will detect small quantities of CONCERT
that can remam in the soil and could potentially injure rotational crops.
A successful firld bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of
crop(s) intended for production the following year. The test strip should
cross the whole field, including knolls and low areas.
SPRAYER PREPARATION AND CLEANUP
It is important Ihat spray equipmenl is clean and free of previous pesti
cide deposits hefore using CONCERT, and then prop"rly cleaned out
following application. aean all application equipmenl before applying
CONCERT. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of lhe
