Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

|
||
Dear Karen da Silva:
|
||
The amended labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
This approval does not affect any terms or conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You
|
||
continue to be subject to existing terms or conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with
|
||
them.
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all previously
|
||
accepted labeling. You must submit one (1) copy of the final printed labeling before you release this product
|
||
for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this
|
||
product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
|
||
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling.
|
||
“To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR § 152.3.
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped "Accepted Only Indicated Revisions Reviewed"
|
||
and is enclosed for your records.
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your company’s website on your label, then please be aware that
|
||
the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by EPA. If the website is false or
|
||
misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution of the product is unlawful
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements the EPA may consider
|
||
false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims
|
||
made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process.
|
||
Therefore, should the EPA find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains statements or claims
|
||
substantially differing from statements or claims made in connection with obtaining a FIFRA section 3
|
||
registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
|
||
Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not
|
||
complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
|
||
If you have questions, please contact Elizabeth Andrews via email at andrews.elizabeth@epa.gov.

|
||
clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking,
|

|
||
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
|
||
USERS SHOULD:
|
||
Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pestici de gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on
|
||
clean clothing.
|
||
Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
|
||
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing
|
||
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Nicosulfuron is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label
|
||
use. Nicosulfuron may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 8
|
||
|
||
|
||
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 including
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
|
||
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through
|
||
drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your
|
||
State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP, which contains the active ingredients nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron, 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:
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 12
|
||
|
||
Scout fields before application to ensure herbici des 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 rela tively 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 esc apes 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 company
|
||
representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
Contact your company representative, crop adviso r, or extension agent to find out if suspected
|
||
resistant weeds to these MOAs have been found in your region. DO NOT assume that each listed
|
||
weed is being controlled by multiple sites of action. Products with multiple active ingredients are
|
||
intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be controlled by
|
||
only one of the active ingredients in this product.
|
||
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 pl ants 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 herbic ides 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
|
||
single growing season 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, 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 befor e 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 consultants 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:
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 13
|
||
|
||
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 crop s and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicat ors are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wi ngspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
Applicators must use one-half swath displacem ent 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 crop s and target weeds, applicators are required to use
|
||
a Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicat ors 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 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.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
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
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 14
|
||
|
||
release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height
|
||
is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY
|
||
|
||
TIMING TO CROP STAGE
|
||
|
||
Apply Steadfast XP to corn that is up to 20 inches tall and exhibiting up to and including 6 leaf-collars
|
||
(V6). DO NOT apply to corn taller than 20 inches or exhibiting more than 6 leaf collars, whichever is more
|
||
restrictive. Some State and corn hybrid restrictions apply (see below). Not all Steadfast XP tank mixtures
|
||
may be applied to corn that is beyond 12" tall. Consult TANK MIX APPLICATIONS for more information.
|
||
|
||
While Steadfast XP 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.
|
||
|
||
Apply Steadfast XP to field corn hybrids with a relative maturity (RM) rating of 77 days or more, including
|
||
"food grade" (yellow dent, hard endosperm), waxy and oil corn. Not all field corn hybrids of less than 77
|
||
days RM, not all white corn hybrids nor Hi-Lysine hybrids have been tested for crop safety, nor does
|
||
Corteva Agriscience have access to all seed company data. Consequently, injury arising from the use of
|
||
Steadfast XP on these types of corn is the responsibility of the user. Consult with your seed supplier
|
||
before applying Steadfast XP to any of these corn types. Applications of Steadfast XP to corn hybrids of
|
||
77-88 CRM need to be limited to corn that is 12” tall or less than or equal to 5-leaf collars (V5), whichever
|
||
is most restrictive. In addition, the application of tank mixtures with dicamba-containing herbicides to 77-
|
||
88 CRM corn must contain no more than 0.125 lb ai dicamba. Seed company publications indicate
|
||
“Warning,” “Crop Response Warning,” or “Sensitive” notations for the use of some ALS herbicides on corn
|
||
hybrids of 77 CRM or higher. As noted in the seed company publications, all sulfonylurea herbicides,
|
||
including Steadfast XP, must be used with caution on these hybrids. Consult with your local sales
|
||
representative or the Label Web Site for any additional supplemental labeling information relative to
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
potential corn hybrid sensitivity to Steadfast XP.
|
||
|
||
Limit Steadfast XP applications to corn that is up to 12” tall or up to and including 5 leaf collars (V5),
|
||
whichever is most restrictive, in the states of KS, OK and TX.
|
||
|
||
TIMING TO WEEDS
|
||
|
||
Apply Steadfast XP when grasses are young and actively growing, but before they exceed the sizes listed
|
||
on this label.
|
||
Applications made to weeds at growth stages greater than those listed below may result in
|
||
incomplete control. Grass competition due to incomplete control may reduce yields.
|
||
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activi ty. Rainfall within 5 to 7 days after application will
|
||
enhance Steadfast XP residual activity.
|
||
|
||
If an activating rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (>0.5 inch) is not received within 5-7 days after application,
|
||
follow with a cultivation or with a sequential application of Accent Q herbicide, if needed. See
|
||
CULTIVATION or SEQUENTIAL ACCENT Q APPLICATIONS.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION RATE
|
||
|
||
Apply Steadfast XP at a rate of 1.25 ounce (0.023 lb nicosulfuron + 0.012 lb rimsulfuron) per acre for

As weeds mature, their sensitivity to Steadfast XP decreases. Grassy weeds growing under stress due to
|
||
drought or other environmental factors may become mature (more than 3 tillers) before they reach the
|
||
size listed, in which case their susceptibility to Steadfast XP may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
|
||
Applications of Steadfast XP must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In
|
||
addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner
|
||
labeling. Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvant system for
|
||
Steadfast XP. Consult local Corteva Agriscience fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior
|
||
to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with Steadfast XP, select adjuvants
|
||
authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR
|
||
1001).
|
||
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
|
||
MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gall on per 100 gallons spray solution) if specifically
|
||
noted on adjuvant product labeling.
|
||
Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high qualit y, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed
|
||
oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons sp ray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
|
||
Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonion ic surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance
|
||
(HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 17
|
||
|
||
Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), including 28%N or 32%N, or 2
|
||
pounds/acre of a spray-grade 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 dos es 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, othe r adjuvant types may be used if they provide the
|
||
same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by Corteva Agriscience Product
|
||
Management. Consult separate company technical bulletins for detailed information before using
|
||
adjuvant types not specified on this label.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Steadfast XP.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the Steadfast XP is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the Steadfast XP is fully dispersed, main tain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
Thoroughly mix Steadfast XP with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add the required spray ad juvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer).
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settli ng will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate
|
||
before using.
|
||
7. Apply Steadfast XP spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If Steadfast XP and a tank mix partner are to be appl ied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the Steadfast XP
|
||
in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with
|
||
the dissolution of the Steadfast XP.
|
||
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING PREEMERGENCE

Tank Mixtures with Dicamba-based products
|
||
|
||
In situations where the use of crop oil concentrate with growth regulator herbicides is not desirable (e.g.
|
||
extremely cold weather), Steadfast XP may be tank mixed with dicamba + a nonionic surfactant at 0.25%
|
||
v/v (1 quart/100 gallons spray solution) in place of crop oil concentrate, but overall weed control may be
|
||
reduced.
|
||
|
||
Limit tank mixture applications of Steadfast XP with herbicides containing dicamba to corn that is up to
|
||
12” tall or up to and including 5 leaf collars (V5), whichever is most restrictive, except for the states east of
|
||
the line formed by the western borders of MI, IN, KY, TN, and MS, and except where noted in local
|
||
Corteva Agriscience Technical Bulletins. In these states, the upper corn size limits are 20” tall or up to
|
||
and including 6 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures with Prosulfuron + Primisulfuron-methyl
|
||
Steadfast XP may be tank mixed with 0.5 ounces (0.004 lb ai prosulfuron + 0.013 lb ai primisulfuron-
|
||
methyl) of “Spirit”” herbicide for additional control of velvetleaf, common and giant ragweed,
|
||
lambsquarters, ivyleaf morningglory, Pennsylvania smartweed, and sunflower. Applications must be
|
||
made to emerged field corn before the corn is 12” tall or is exhibiting 6 leaf collars, whichever is most
|
||
restrictive.
|
||
|
||
For Additional Control of Crabgrass and Later Emerging Grasses
|
||
Steadfast XP may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of preemergence grass herbicides labeled for
|
||
early postemergence application to field corn for increased residual activity of later-emerging flushes of
|
||
grasses including smooth and large crabgrass. Application must be made before the crabgrass emerges
|
||
and before other grass weeds on the Steadfast XP label exceed their labeled sizes.
|
||
|
||
For Additional Control of Broadleaf Weeds
|
||
Steadfast XP may be tank mixed with 0.5 to 0.75 fluid ounces per acre of topramezone (2.8 lb ai per
|
||
gallon) plus atrazine at 0.375 to 1.5 pounds active per acre for improved control of several broadleaf
|
||
weeds including waterhemp, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, and velvetleaf. When applying
|
||
mixtures of Steadfast XP plus topramezone at 0.5 fluid ounces per acre, the use of methylated seed oil is
|
||
advised. Refer to the topramezone product label for additional information regarding application timing,
|
||
tank mixtures, adjuvants, and rotational crops.
|
||
|
||
The use of a nonionic surfactant is advised in place of crop oil concentrate for tank mixtures with
|
||
preemergence grass herbicides where applications are made early postemergence to small weeds.
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 20
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing Steadfast XP with preemergence herbicides that restrict the use of ammonium nitrogen
|
||
fertilizer adjuvants and applications are made early-postemergence to small weeds, follow restrictions on
|
||
the tank mix partner label and/or omit the fertilizer adjuvants.
|
||
|
||
When tank mixing Steadfast XP with emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulated preemergence grass
|
||
herbicides, DO NOT add mesotrione herbicide to the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
When other formulations of preemergence grass herbicides including CINCH® ATZ or CINCH® ATZ Lite
|
||
are tank mixed with Steadfast XP + mesotrione, limit preemergence herbicide rates to no more than 2/3x
|
||
full preemergence rates, always add nonionic surfactant in place of crop oil concentrate, and limit
|
||
broadleaf weed sizes to less than or equal to 4” tall.
|
||
|
||
Tank mixes of Steadfast XP and preemergence grass herbicides must be broadcast applied
|
||
postemergence to field corn before the crop exceeds the heights listed on the preemergence grass
|
||
herbicide label. Refer to WHEN TO APPLY-POSTEMERGENCE and the preemergence grass herbicide
|
||
label for complete postemergence application information, rates, and restrictions.
|
||
|
||
Tank mixtures with Insecticides
|
||
Steadfast XP herbicide may be tank mixed with pyrethroid or carbamate insecticides including
|
||
LANNATE® insecticides.
|
||
|
||
To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply the products indicated below at least seven days before or
|
||
three days after the application of Steadfast XP.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT tank mix Steadfast XP with bentazon or severe crop injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT tank mix Steadfast XP with 2,4-D-containing products as severe grass control antagonism may
|
||
occur.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT tank mix Steadfast XP with foliar-applied organophosphate insecticides including chlorpyrifos,
|
||
malathion, etc., as severe crop injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT tank mix Steadfast XP with other acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicides unless the
|
||
mixture is specified on Steadfast XP labels or fact sheets, as severe crop injury may occur.
|
||
|
||
Other than the exceptions noted, and in addition to the tank mix partners and rates indicated above,
|
||
Steadfast XP may be tank mixed or followed with sequential applications of other products registered for
|
||
use in field corn. Steadfast XP may be applied in tank mix combinations with full or reduced rates of other
|
||
products provided:
|
||
|
||
The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use
|
||
restrictions as
|
||
Steadfast XP.
|
||
The tank mixture is not specifically prohi bited on the label of the tank mix product.
|
||
The tank mix combination is compatible as deter mined by a “jar test” described in the TANK MIX
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING section below.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixing Precautions:
|
||
Weed control and crop response with tank mixtures no t specified in this label are the responsibility of
|
||
the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product.
|
||
Read and follow all applicable use directions, prec autions, and limitations specified on the respective
|
||
product labels and fact sheets.
|
||
A corn plant's predisposition to develop fused tiss ue emerging from the whorl (rattail) after the V11
|
||
stage may increase when a product containing dicamba is applied to small corn under early stressful
|
||
conditions. Be aware of this when applying tank mixes with dicamba to small corn (V3 stage or
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 21
|
||
|
||
smaller) under stressful conditions. See ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS for a description of these
|
||
stressful conditions.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Steadfast XP and other 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 film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible, and the
|
||
tank mix combination must not be used.
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS WITH ACCENT Q
|
||
|
||
Apply Accent
|
||
® Q herbicide 14 or more days after Steadfast XP applications to control grasses that may
|
||
emerge later in the year. Refer to the Accent Q label for grass species controlled, proper size of weeds,
|
||
rates, corn sizes, and other information. When following a Steadfast XP application, DO NOT use more
|
||
than 0.66 oz (0.031 lb ai) Accent Q per acre.
|
||
|
||
A sequential application of Accent Q will affect crop rotation intervals to certain sensitive crops, including
|
||
sugarbeets. For maximum crop rotation flexibility, consult the CROP ROTATION section before applying
|
||
Accent Q to fields previously treated with Steadfast XP.
|
||
|
||
CULTIVATION
|
||
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, or weeds that emerge after an
|
||
application of Steadfast XP in the absence of an activating rainfall.
|
||
|
||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7–14 days after Steadfast XP application or upon seeing the
|
||
establishment of new weeds.
|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP 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, activating rainfall, weed spectrum, weed
|
||
size, growing conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection.
|
||
|
||
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. Rainfall within 5-7 days will enhance Steadfast XP
|
||
residual activity. A timely cultivation may be required for maximum weed control without an activating rain.
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP 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, wa ter-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 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.
|
||
|
||
Q5Z / Steadfast XP / Amendment with edits / 03-12-24 Page 22
|
||
|
||
|
||
If the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until stress passes and both weeds and
|
||
corn resume active growth.
|
||
|
||
Apply Steadfast XP when minimum nighttime temperatures are above 40°F and the maximum daytime
|
||
temperatures are below 92°F to maximize performance and minimize the potential for crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Applications made during or immediately following periods of large day/night temperature fluctuations or
|
||
where daytime temperatures DO NOT exceed 50°F may decrease weed control and increase the
|
||
potential for crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP 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.
|
||
|
||
Ground application of Steadfast XP to dry, dusty fields may reduce weed control in wheel track areas.
|
||
|
||
SOIL INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Before using Steadfast XP, ensure that it is compatible with any other insecticides previously applied to
|
||
the corn crop.
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies
|
||
with field corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||
|
||
Steadfast XP may be applied to corn previously treated with chlorethoxyfos, chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin,
|
||
tebupirimphos + cyfluthrin, tefluthrin insecticides or non- organophosphate (OP) soil insecticides
|
||
regardless of soil type.
|
||
|
||
|
||
DO NOT APPLY Steadfast XP to corn previously treated with terbufos.
|
||
Applications of Steadfast XP to corn previously treated with chlorpyrifos or phorate may cause
|
||
unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
|
||
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of Steadfast XP remaining in the soil.
|
||
Steadfast XP dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||
|
||
The amount of Steadfast XP which may be present in the soil depends on 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.
|
||
|
||
For fields treated with sequential applications of Steadfast XP and Accent Q herbicide, consult the crop
|
||
rotation intervals listed on the Accent and Steadfast XP labels. Use the most restrictive recrop interval
|
||
from either label.
|
||
|
||
The following rotational intervals must be observed when using Steadfast XP:

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Broadcast Application
|
||
|
||
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the
|
||
best performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered stands of weeds
|
||
|
||
Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into the
|
||
corn plant whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop
|
||
injury.
|
||
|
||
Band Application
|
||
For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture. To avoid crop injury, 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.
