ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Do not apply where/when conditions could favor runoff.
Ground Water Advisory Nicosulfuron is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater 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 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 or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
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 area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray drift Management section of this label.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. Refer to booklet under “Agricultural Use Requirements” in the Directions for Use section for information about this statement.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
AccentACCENT® SC herbicide is a suspension concentrate used at a rate 6 - 24 fluid ounces (0.015 - 0.062 lb ai) per acre for selective postemergence grass weed control in field corn grown for seed or grain, popcorn and sweet corn, and 12 - 24 fluid ounces (0.031 - 0.062 lb ai) per acre in grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait.
Always shake well before use.
RESTRICTIONS
Aerial application is not permitted in New York and California.
Do not apply AccentACCENT® SC to corn or grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait that exhibits herbicide injury from previous applications made to the current or preceding crop.
Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution for postemergence applications.
Injury or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
• Do not apply AccentACCENT® SC or drain or flush application equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contract with their roots.
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 11
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, or tennis courts. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. • Do not contaminate any body of water. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
PRECAUTIONS
AccentACCENT® SC may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods, and soil type.
AccentACCENT ® SC may be applied to corn previously treated with “Fortress” (AI:chlorethoxyfos Reg. No. 59807-19), “Smartchoice” (AI: bifenthrin + chlorethoxyfos: Reg. No. 5481-561,5481-579), “Aztec” (AI: cyfluthrin + phostebupirim; Reg. Nos 5481-577, 5481-9028, 5481-9030), or “Force” (AI: tefluthrin; Reg. Nos, 100-1075, 100-1253, 100-1625) insecticides, or other non-organophosphate soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
It is possible that pollen-mediated gene flow from grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait to weedy relatives, including johnsongrass or shattercane, may contribute to the development of resistance to ALS herbicides in these biotypes.
Temporary yellowing and reduction in height of grain sorghum hybrids containing the INZEN™ trait may occur following a postemergence application of AccentACCENT ® SC. Crop responses may be more pronounced when conditions exist that result in slowed crop growth, including but not limited, to cloudy, cool, or wet conditions. Normal growth and appearance will resume when normal growing conditions return.
Adherence to the DuPont Corteva Agriscience Stewardship program and Best Management Practices is necessary to reduce the risk of the development of resistance to ALS herbicides in weedy relatives.
Crop injury may occur following an application of AccentACCENT® SC if there is a prolonged period of cold weather and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
Prevent drift or spray onto desirable plants.
Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use (See Sprayer cleanup section of this label).
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
AccentACCENT ® SC, which contains the active ingredient nicosulfuron is a group 2 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:
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 12
• 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 this product 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 DuPont company representative, local retailer, or county extension agent. • Contact your DuPont company 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 2 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 2 herbicides. • Avoid making more than two applications of this product and any other group 2 herbicides within a year unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to- control weeds. • Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such as 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.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultant or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest / crop systems in your area.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • 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). • The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters. • Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. • Ground boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a turf, pasture, or rangeland application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground. • 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 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 drift potential 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
•x 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.
•x Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
•x Spray Nozzle- Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft • Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 14
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
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 should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. 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.
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 Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).

The combined dosage of sequential applications cannot exceed 24 fluid ounces (0.063 pounds of nicosulfuron active ingredient) per acre of AccentACCENT® SC in corn.
When tank mixing with other products that contain nicosulfuron, do not apply more than 1.0 ounce (0.062 lb) of nicosulfuron in corn per year.
Do not tank mix AccentACCENT ® SC with products containing bentazon or severe crop injury may occur.
Do not tank mix AccentACCENT® SC with foliar- applied organophosphate insecticides including chlorpyrifos, malathion, etc., as severe crop injury may occur. To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply these products at least 7 days before or 3 days after the application of AccentACCENT® SC.
Do not apply AccentACCENT® SC within 45 days of crop emergence where the organophosphate insecticide, terbufos (including "Counter" brands) was applied since corn crop injury may occur. Applications made to corn previously treated with chlorpyrifos or other similar organophosphate insecticides may result in unacceptable crop injury. Any crop injury or yield loss resulting from these applications are the responsibility of the grower.
Do not make a late application of AccentACCENT ® SC to field corn grown for grain or silage that is taller than 36 inches or that exhibits 10 or more collars (V10), whichever is more restrictive.
Do not apply AccentACCENT® SC to any white popcorn inbred, or white popcorn hybrid.
Do not apply AccentACCENT® SC to sweet corn taller than 18 inches or which exhibits 6 or more leaf collars (V6).
Do not graze, feed forage, grain or fodder (stover) from corn treated areas to livestock within 30 days of an AccentACCENT ® SC application.
FIELD CORN GROWN FOR GRAIN OR SILAGE
Timing to Crop AccentACCENT® SC may be used on field corn, high lysine, waxy, white or other food grade corn hybrids.
AccentACCENT® SC may be broadcast to corn up to 20" tall (free standing) or that is exhibiting up to and including 6 leaf collars (V6), whichever is more restrictive.
While AccentACCENT® SC has a wide application window, research has shown best results are obtained when applications are made early postemergence when corn and weeds are small. Target applications to corn that is less than 12” tall for best overall performance.
Timing to Weeds Apply AccentACCENT ® SC when grasses are young and actively growing, but before they exceed the sizes indicated in the table Weeds controlled with 12 fluid ounces (0.031 lb ai) AccentACCENT® SC. Treat heavy infestations of weeds before they become too competitive with the crop, especially where soil moisture and/or fertility are limited. AccentACCENT® SC provides weed control via foliar absorption. AccentACCENT® SC only controls those weeds that have emerged. For later-emerging weeds, a second application or a timely cultivation is required. Applications made to weeds larger than the size indicated on this label or to weeds under stress may result in unsatisfactory control. Refer to LATE APPLICATIONS.
LATE APPLICATIONS IN FIELD CORN GROWN FOR GRAIN OR SILAGE AccentACCENT ® SC may be applied to field corn as a directed postemergence application on corn that is taller than 20” or which has more than 6 collars (whichever occurs first).
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 16
• For corn 20” to 36” tall, apply AccentACCENT® SC with drop nozzles only and avoid spraying into the whorl of cornstalks.
• Do not apply to corn that is taller than 36" or that exhibits 10 or more collars (V10), whichever is most restrictive.
Applications made to weeds larger than those listed on this label may vary from complete control to suppression. Level of control will depend on the weed species, stage of growth, and environmental conditions.
Choices must be made between the risks that arise from applications made beyond the proper time for AccentACCENT ® SC use, and the effects of season long grass competition and/or harvest complications. These choices must balance risks from improperly timed AccentACCENT® SC use that include, but are not limited to:
• Yield loss due to competition: Research indicates competition from foxtail exceeding 4 inches in height may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and other annual grasses that exceed the sizes stated on the label increases the risk of yield losses due to prolonged competition with the crop even though control may be acceptable.
• Incomplete control of grasses beyond labeled size: Applications to grasses that exceed the labeled sizes can result in reduced control. This incomplete control may reduce corn yield.
• Incomplete grass control due to herbicide stress: Grasses under stress from previous herbicide applications may not be actively growing and susceptible to AccentACCENT ® SC.
• Ear malformation: Applications of AccentACCENT® SC on corn that has 7 to 10 collars (V7 to V10) increases the potential for ear malformation (pinching). This risk may be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, by using drop nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply AccentACCENT® SC into the corn whorl.
APPLICATION RATE
Optimum control of the weeds listed can be achieved with 12 fluid ounces (0.031 lb ai) of AccentACCENT® SC. Weeds that exceed the listed weed sizes by up to 50% may be partially controlled with rates between 12 and 24 fluid ounces (0.031 and 0.062 lb ai) of AccentACCENT® SC per acre.
AccentACCENT® SC may be applied at 6 - 12 fluid ounces (0.015 – 0.031 lb ai) for limited control of certain small grass weeds. See the table for reduced rates under ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS for details.

GRAIN SORGHUM CONTAINING INZEN™ TRAIT
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Apply AccentACCENT ® SC herbicide to grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait for postemergence control of certain annual and perennial grass and annual broadleaf weeds.
These application directions are specific for AccentACCENT ® SC applied to grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait. Do not use AccentACCENT® SC on grain sorghum that does not contain the INZEN™ trait as severe injury or death will occur.
It is possible that pollen-mediated gene flow from grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait to weedy relatives, including shattercane and johnsongrass, may contribute to the development of resistance to ALS herbicides in these species. Plant into fields in which emerged weeds have been controlled by tillage or nonselective herbicides, including glyphosate. Manage johnsongrass and shattercane growth in road ditches, fence rows and nearby places so their flowering does not coincide with the INZEN™ sorghum trait flowering. Do not use AccentACCENT ® SC on grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait in fields known to have ALS-resistant shattercane or johnsongrass. Adherence to the DuPont Corteva Agriscience Stewardship program, including completion of the certification program and following the Best Management Practices is necessary to reduce the risk of the development of resistance to ALS herbicides in weedy relatives.

resistance program; therefore, it is very important to perform the following activities.
The following steps are provided to aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product:
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed sizes present.
• Apply the maximum specified labeled use rates of AccentACCENT® SC for the most difficult to control weeds in the field at the specified time (correct weed size) or when applications are made under challenging environmental conditions to minimize weed escapes.
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in weed species.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product on a weed species listed in the “Weeds Controlled” section to your DuPont Corteva Agriscience retailer, representative or 1-800-258-3033.
• If resistance is suspected in a weed species listed in the “Weeds Controlled” section or to johnsongrass or shattercane, treat the weed escapes with an herbicide having a mode of action other than group 2 and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as practicable, with the goal of preventing further seed production. Report suspected resistance to your DuPont Corteva Agriscience retailer, representative or 1-800-258-3033.
• 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 practical: • Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other modes of action as a foundation in a weed control program. • Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative modes of action. • Rotate the use of this product with non-group 2 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. • Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds. • Avoid using any other group 2 herbicide within a single growing season unless in conjunction with another mode of action herbicide with overlapping spectrum. • Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
Contact the local agricultural extension service, DuPont company representative, agricultural retailer or crop consultant for further guidance on weed control practices as needed.
APPLICATION RATE
Apply 12 to 24 fluid ounces AccentACCENT ® SC (0.031 to 0.062 lb ai) by ground or by air per acre per application to grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ trait.
APPLICATION TIMING TO CROP
Apply AccentACCENT ® SC to emerged grain sorghum containing the INZEN™ herbicide tolerance trait that is up to 20 inches tall. Applications made to 4-20 inch tall grain sorghum (approximately five leaf stage (growth stage 2) to flag leaf visible (growth stage 4)) are advised for best crop resiliency. Do not apply to grain sorghum taller than 20 inches.
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 23
APPLICATION TIMING TO WEEDS
Apply AccentACCENT® SC when grasses are young and actively growing, but before they exceed the sizes indicated in the table WEEDS CONTROLLED IN INZEN™ TRAIT GRAIN SORGHUM with 12 fluid ounces (0.031 lb ai) AccentACCENT® SC. Treat heavy infestations of weeds before they become too competitive with the crop, especially where soil moisture and/or fertility are limited. AccentACCENT® SC provides weed control via foliar absorption.
AccentACCENT® SC only controls those weeds that have emerged. For later-emerging weeds, a second application or a timely cultivation is required. Applications made to weeds larger than the size indicated on this label or to weeds under stress may result in unsatisfactory control.
As weeds mature, their sensitivity to AccentACCENT® SC decreases. As grassy weeds become mature (more than 3 tillers), they may not reach the size listed below, due to drought or other environmental factors. Treat grassy weeds that are maturing rapidly before they reach the stages listed in the table Weeds controlled with 12 fluid ounces (0.031 lb ai) AccentACCENT® SC.
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS
In the event that a subsequent flush of weeds, or a regrowth of previously treated weeds occur, a second application of AccentACCENT ® SC may be applied.

dicamba if this potential for injury is not acceptable. Do not tank mix with “Huskie” brands (AI: pyrasulfotole + bromoxynil) as significant grass antagonism, and crop injury can result. Refer to the labels of all tank mix products for information regarding use information (including rates, timing, application information, and sprayer cleanup), product precautions and restrictions. The most restrictive language on either label shall apply. If those instructions conflict with this label, do not tank mix the herbicide with AccentACCENT ® SC.
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.
CULTIVATION
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds or weeds that emerge after an application of AccentACCENT ® SC.
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7–14 days after AccentACCENT® SC application or upon seeing the establishment of new weeds.
GRAZING / PREHARVEST INTERVALS FOR GRAIN SORGHUM CONTAINING INZEN™ TRAIT
Forage may be cut, and livestock may be grazed once the crop has reached the mature forage stage (soft dough growth stage 7). Grain and stover may be harvested once the crop has reached the mature grain stage (physiological maturity growth stage 9).
CROP ROTATION
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of AccentACCENT ® SC remaining in the soil. AccentACCENT® SC dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
The amount of AccentACCENT® SC which may be present in the soil depends on application rate, soil pH and organic matter content, elapsed time since application, crop production practices, and environmental factors.
Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry weather prevails between application and rotational crop planting. Consult your local DuPont company representative for additional guidelines.
Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis using the 1:1 soil:water suspension method on representative soil samples taken at 0–4" depth. Soil pH varies within fields; therefore, base recropping on the highest soil pH within each field. Consult local extension publications for soil sampling procedures.
The following rotational intervals must be observed when using AccentACCENT ® SC at a maximum of 24 fluid ounces (0.062 lb ai):

GROUND APPLICATION
Broadcast Application
• Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (15 GPA) for best performance. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre (GPA) for light, scattered stands of weeds.
• Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
Band Application For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture, and carefully calibrate the band applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Aerial application is not permitted in New York and California.
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a minimum of 3 GPA.
SPRAY ADJUVANTS FOR USE IN FIELD CORN GROWN FOR GRAIN & SEED, POPCORN, & SWEET CORN
AccentACCENT ® SC contains a proprietary adjuvant system that aids in the control of many difficult weed species. In certain arid climates, the use of additional adjuvants may be required for optimal weed control. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Consult local DuPont company fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with AccentACCENT® SC, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products, products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001). 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.
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) - Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
• Apply up to 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) under arid conditions.
• MSO adjuvants may be used up to 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallons per 100 gallons spray solution) if specifically noted on adjuvant product labeling or if specified on local DuPont Corteva Agriscience product literature or service policies.
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 28
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
• Apply up to 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) under arid conditions.
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 28%N or 32%N, or 2 pounds/acre of a spraygrade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre UAN or 4 pounds/acre AMS under arid conditions.
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
Special Adjuvant Types
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by DuPont Corteva Agriscience Product Management. Consult separate DuPont company technical bulletins for detailed information before using adjuvant types not specified on this label.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Select a spray volume that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. If tank mixing with other herbicides, always consult the label of the tank mix partner(s) for minimum spray volume requirements and apply the tank mixture using a water volume as directed for all products.
-
Always start with a clean and empty sprayer tank.
-
Fill the tank with clean water one half of the required spray volume.
-
With the agitator running, add the required amount of AccentACCENT ® SC. Continue to agitate for a minimum of 5 minutes to ensure that AccentACCENT® SC is completely dispersed.
-
If tank mixing AccentACCENT® SC with another herbicide, follow this mixing order: dry flowables and soluble granules, followed by liquids, then oil dispersions (OD) or emulsifiable concentrates (EC). Maintain continuous agitation.
-
Add the rest of the water.
-
If required for the tank mixture, add the appropriate adjuvant. If an antifoam agent is required, add last.
-
Continue agitation sufficient enough to maintain a uniform spray solution.
-
Refer to the tank mix sections of this booklet for mixing order and other mixing instructions.
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of AccentACCENT ® SC and other
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 29
pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible. Do not use the tank mix combination.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
AccentACCENT ® SC provides best results when applied to young, actively growing weeds. Applications made during warm, moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture both before and after application maximizes performance.
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection.
AccentACCENT ® SC is rainfast in 4 hours.
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that are under stress may result in incomplete control. Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under stress from:
• abnormally hot or cold weather
• environmental conditions including drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage, or frost
• disease, insect, or nematode injury
• prior herbicide or carryover from a previous year’s herbicide application
Severe stress from conditions preceding or immediately following application may also result in crop injury or poor weed control.
Stress affects all weeds, but especially weeds including woolly cupgrass, green and yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet.
AccentACCENT ® SC rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds, reducing weed competition within as little as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7–21 days.
Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix AccentACCENT® SC with other products that contain the same active ingredients as AccentACCENT® SC (nicosulfuron) unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the maximum rate that may be used.
If the crop or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until stress passes and both weeds and crop resume active growth.
SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using AccentACCENT ® SC and then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application equipment before applying AccentACCENT® SC. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows.
Immediately following applications of AccentACCENT® SC, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury.
Note:
V93 / Accent SC / MSTR / Notification with edits / 11-18-22 Page 30
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying AccentACCENT® SC, read and follow label directions for proper rinsate disposal of the product previously sprayed.
• Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of AccentACCENT® SC, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit overnight.
Cleanup Procedure
-
Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
-
Partially fill 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 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 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
-
Repeat Step 2.
-
Remove the nozzles, screens and the end caps of sprayer booms and clean separately in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and water.
-
Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses and boom.
- Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner may be used.
