2.2 Environmental Hazards
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, or 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 wash water.
Acetochlor demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the ground water is shallow, may result in ground
water contamination.
Flumetsulam and clopyralid are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this product where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow may result in leaching to ground water.
Caution should be exercised when handling this product at mixing and loading sites to
prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or
transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the
mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent
groundwater contamination.
Acetochlor has properties that may result in surface water contamination via
dissolved runoff and runoff erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the
potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE

use alone or in tank mix combinations for control or partial control of grasses and broadleaf
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 10 of 27
weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. [Insert brand name] may
provide postemergence activity on susceptible broadleaf weeds up to 2 inches tall that are
present at application but will not provide postemergence activity on emerged grass weeds.
If grass and broadleaf weeds are present at the time of application, best results will be
achieved by tank mixing a herbicide such as a Roundup agricultural herbicide, dicamba or
2,4-D.
4.1 Use Restrictions
Not for Sale, Sale Into, Distribution and/or Use in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York
State.
On the following soil types, do not apply this product within 50 feet of any well where the
depth to ground water is 30 feet or less: sands with less than 3 percent organic matter;
loamy sands with less than 2 percent organic matter; or sandy loams with less than 1
percent organic matter. See the figure for additional clarification.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment.
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including
abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams
and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 11 of 27
apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to
impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or
from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any
well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand
the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad.
Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or
equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that
may fall on pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the
pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to
facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain
a minimum of 110 percent of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size
to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum
containment capacity of 100 percent of the capacity of the largest pesticide container
or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above
shall be maintained at all times. The above specified minimum containment
capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the
mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding
wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
Product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills
or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing
this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or
wind erosion:
Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for
wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
rainfall or irrigation.
Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted
surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils.
Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to
treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between
application and the first irrigation.
Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray
drift to non-target areas:
Use low-pressure application equipment capable of producing a large droplet
spray. Do not use nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by
using sufficient spray volume to ensure adequate coverage with large droplet size
sprays.
Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition
(approximately 3 to 10 miles per hour). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds
15 miles per hour. Avoid application when gusts approach 15 miles per hour.
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 12 of 27
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to
sensitive areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high
temperatures. Do not apply during inversion conditions.
Do not use liquid fertilizers as the carrier for applications of [insert brand name] after the
crop has emerged or crop injury may occur.
Uneven application or uneven incorporation of [insert brand name] can result in erratic
weed control or crop injury. Over application may result in crop injury or rotational crop
damage from soil residue.
Maximum Application Rates: The total cumulative maximum application amount of
[insert brand name] on corn is 3.5 pints per acre per crop year.
Do not exceed 3.0 pints per acre in a single application.
Use of this product not consistent with this label may result in injury to persons,
animals or crops, or other unintended consequences.
Restrictions and Precautions for Soil Application (Not Applicable to Postemergence
Application)
Corn Planting Depth: Plant at a minimum depth of at least 1½ inches.
Do not apply to areas where the soil pH is greater than 7.8 as this may result in increased
crop injury.
Do not apply to a soil containing greater than 5% organic matter if the soil pH is below 5.9,
as reduced weed control will result.
Use of [insert brand name] in soil-applied treatments on soils with less than 1.5% organic
matter (O.M.) may result in crop injury. Apply as a soil-treatment to fields which have less
than 1.5% O.M. only if the risk of crop injury is acceptable.
If any herbicide with ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibition mode of action was applied the
previous year, apply [insert brand name] to corn only if the rotational restrictions applicable
to corn for the preceding product has been met.
Adverse Weather Conditions
Extended cold, wet conditions (soil temperatures below 50ºF and excessive rainfall with wet
soil conditions), following application of this product to herbicide tolerant corn, which persist
during germination and/or early crop development may result in crop injury. Injury
symptoms, which include yellowing of leaves and/or crop stunting, are usually temporary
and affected corn plants usually recover without affecting yield.
Dry weather following preplant surface or preemergence applications of [insert brand name]
may reduce effectiveness. If sufficient activating rainfall or overhead irrigation does not
occur within 7 to 10 days of application, rotary hoe, harrow, or shallowly cultivate to
incorporate the herbicide lightly into the soil. Use a preplant incorporated application when
a period of dry weather is predicted after application.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas.
Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply
during air temperature inversion conditions.
Soil Insecticide Advisories for Soil Applications of [insert brand name]
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 13 of 27
Soil-applied organophosphate insecticides (except terbufos or phorate, see below) should
only be applied in a T-band or a band to avoid potential crop injury.
Do not use terbufos (Counter)) or phorate (Thimet) insecticides.
Soil insecticides from other classes of chemistry may be applied in-furrow, T-banded, or
banded.
Soil Insecticide Advisories for Postemergence Applications of [insert brand name]
Do not apply [insert brand name] postemergence if corn was previously treated with
terbufos (Counter) or phorate (Thimet) insecticides, as severe crop injury may result.
Postemergence applications of [insert brand name] to corn previously treated with T-band,
band, or in-furrow applications of other organophosphate insecticides such as Lorsban
®,
Aztec, or Fortress insecticides may cause temporary crop injury.
Foliar Insecticide Advisories for Postemergence Applications of [insert brand
name]
Do not tank mix this product with foliar postemergence organophosphate insecticides as
severe crop injury may result. To avoid crop injury, apply the foliar organophosphate
insecticide treatment at least 10 days before or 10 days after the application of [insert
brand name].
[insert brand name] may be tank mixed with non-organophosphate foliar insecticides,
provided they are labeled for use with postemergence corn herbicides.
Other Precautions and Restrictions
Do not apply [insert brand name] to sweet corn or popcorn.
Hybrid Seed Production: Corn inbred lines grown for hybrid seed production may be
injured by [insert brand name]. Inbred lines should be thoroughly tested for crop tolerance
before treating large acreage. While growers are not prohibited from using [insert brand
name] on seed corn, it is not recommended.
Preharvest interval: An interval of at least 85 days is required between application of
[insert brand name] and field corn harvested for grain.
Avoid all direct or indirect contact with non-target plants. Do not apply near
desirable vegetation. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants
under conditions of application to minimize potential exposure.
Crop Residues from Treated Areas: Crop residues from treated areas cannot be used for
composting or mulching on ground where susceptible crops may be grown the following
season. To promote herbicide decomposition, plant material should be evenly incorporated
or burned. Adequate moisture is also required to promote breakdown of plant residues,
which contain clopyralid.
Do not move treated soil. Avoid situations where soil particles may blow into areas
where susceptible crops are grown. The hazard of movement of this product on dust is
reduced if treated fields are irrigated or if rain occurs shortly after application.
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 14 of 27
Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing
[insert brand name] to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to
runoff or wind erosion:
- Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for
wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be wetted by
rainfall or irrigation.
- Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces
or frozen or snow covered ground.
- Do not apply to soils when saturated with water.
- Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift to non-target sites. Spray
drift of [insert brand name] to emerged soybeans or other sensitive crops or soil to
which soybeans or other sensitive crops will be planted during the same growing
season may cause crop injury.
Sprayer Cleanup
To avoid injury to or exposure of non-target crops, thoroughly clean and drain spray
equipment used to apply [insert brand name] after use. Cleaning should occur as soon as
possible after application of [insert brand name]. Spray equipment should be cleaned after
use with [insert brand name] by the following procedure:
1. Drain any remaining [insert brand name] from the spray tank and dispose of according
to label disposal instructions.
2. Hose down the interior surfaces of the tank. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with
clean water for 10 minutes. Fill the tank with water and re-circulate for 15 minutes.
Spray part of the mixture through the hoses, boom, and nozzles and drain the tank. All
rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines.
3. Fill the tank with water and re-circulate for 15 minutes. For optimum cleaning, a tank
cleaner such as liquid ammonia (1 gallon per 100 gallons of water) or other commercial
tank cleaner is recommended in the second rinse if the spray equipment will be used on
crops other than field corn. Spray part of the mixture through the hoses, boom, and
nozzles and drain the tank. All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with local,
state, and federal guidelines.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately.
5. If the spray equipment will be used on crops other than field corn, repeat steps 1 and 2
again and thoroughly wash the spray mixture from the outside of spray tank and the
boom.

6.0 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Group 15 2 4 HERBICIDE
This product contains acetochlor, a Group 15 herbicide, flumetsulam, a Group 2 herbicide,
and clopyralid, a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population can contain plants naturally
resistant to Group 15, 2, or 4 herbicides. Weed species resistant to Group 15, 2, or 4
herbicides may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group, or
by using other cultural or mechanical practices.
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 16 of 27
General principles of herbicide resistance management
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide modes-
of-action with overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or
mixtures.
2. Use the full recommended herbicide rate and proper application timing for the
hardest to control weed species present in the field.
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved.
Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
x Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown
treatment or tillage in combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as
appropriate.
x Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where
appropriate.
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness
x Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible.
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular
weed to your Monsanto representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.

8.2 Sprayer Compatibility
Always predetermine the compatibility of this product or labeled mixtures of this product
with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities
in advance. See the “Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test” section in this
label to determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures specified
for use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier. Do not use liquid fertilizers as the carrier for
applications of [insert brand name] after the crop has emerged or crop injury may occur.
Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the appropriate carrier as
follows:
1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with appropriate carrier.
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of
undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier
already in the tank. Use only compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use. Read
and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements and all other information
appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for adequate agitation.
4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make slurry with water, and
add it slowly through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
5. If a flowable formation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and
compatibility may be improved when flowable is premixed one part flowable with one
part water and added slowly to the tank in diluted form.
6. Add this product slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may
be improved when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the
tank in diluted form.
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 18 of 27
7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If a Roundup® agricultural herbicide or a
Gramoxone brand herbicide is used, add the required amount near the end of the filling
process. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into
the water source.
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed.
NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is
required to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in
nozzle or line strainers should be 50-mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid
spraying a fine mist. Check for even distribution of spray droplets. To reduce loss of
the chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at nozzle pressures below 40 psi.
8.3 Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the
components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This
may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using
small quantities of the components is suggested to provide compatibility potential. The test
follows:
A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test
1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and "without").
2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mL) pipette or graduated
cylinder is desirable).
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed.
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop
protection chemical in suspension, if this assistance is needed).
B. Procedure
1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier
to each jar marked "with" and "without".
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars.
WITH WITHOUT
2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable
compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 TEAspoon in one
pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.)
To Jar Marked “With”
Add Compatibility Agent
And Shake to Mix

3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one is used, add
them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables
second and liquid last. Shake gently five to ten seconds after each addition.

This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the maximum
labeled rate of herbicide. For changes in spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate
changes in the ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of
compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2
milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer)
per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.
C. Observations and Decisions
1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large
flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically
mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily particles in the solution.
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 20 of 27
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the compatibility
agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the
same spray tank.
If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the
jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended.
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour. If the
separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial
application is possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after
standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the
top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers.
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to
use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not
compatible without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water
before adding to the spray tank.
9.0 APPLICATION SYSTEMS

dribble, pneumatic (air flow) or spin. When using spin applicators, fertilizers impregnated
with this product or tank mixtures of this product with other herbicides must be spread at
half-rate and overlapped 100 percent to obtain full rate and uniform distribution. Non-
uniform spreading of the fertilizer-herbicide mixture may result in unsatisfactory weed
control or crop injury.
10.0 APPLICATION TIMING, METHODS, AND RATES
[Insert brand name] may be used in conventional, reduced and no-till systems and may be
applied early preplant, preplant and preemergence, and postemergence in conventional field
corn, silage corn, and corn containing Roundup Ready® 2 Technology including Roundup
Ready Corn 2, until the corn reaches 11 inches in height.
Preplant and preemergence applications of [Insert brand name] herbicide should occur as
close as possible to planting and prior to weed emergence for optimum weed control.
Postemergence applications may be made from prior to weed emergence up to 1 to 2 inch
weeds. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply this product in a tank mixture
with a product labeled to control emerged weeds. Observe directions for use, precautions
and restrictions on the label of the tank mixture product. During the planting operation, be
careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as
weed control may be reduced.
10.1 Fall and Spring Early Preplant Surface Application
[Insert brand name] herbicide may be applied in the fall or early spring at 2.0-3.0 pints per
acre.
10.2 Fall Applications
Following soybean harvest, apply to soybean stubble after October 15, when the sustained
soil temperature at 4-inch depth is less than 50 degrees F, but before ground freezes. Use
on medium and fine textured soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter. Only corn may be
planted the following spring. Ground may be tilled before or after application. Do not exceed
2-inch incorporation depth if tilled after application. If a spring application is made, the
total rate of the fall plus spring application of [insert brand name] must not exceed 3.5 pints
per acre.
10.3 Spring Early Preplant Applications
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 23 of 27
On medium and fine textured soils [insert brand name] may be applied 21 or more days
prior to planting. If the application is made less than 21 days prior to planting, please refer
to the use rate table below for specific product rate.
10.4 Preplant Incorporation Application
[insert brand name] may be mixed into the top 2 inches of the soil using shallow
incorporation equipment any time within 14 days prior to planting. Apply the specified
treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast application. Equipment should be operated
at manufacturer's designed speed for incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and
distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design including any drag
attachments must be adequate to avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced
weed control. Soil conditions, including moisture content and crop residue levels, must be
suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing. Do not mix [insert brand name] deeper than
2 inches into the soil and avoid moving or shaping soil after incorporation.
10.5 Preemergence Surface Application
[Insert brand name] and may be applied to the soil surface after planting and prior to either
crop or weed emergence. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation of at least 0.25 inch
is required after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination
zone. If rain or sprinkler irrigation does not occur within 7 days after application, rotary hoe
or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance. High intensity or excessive
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control. Incorporation equipment
should be run at a shallow depth to avoid disturbance of germinating corn seed. Erratic
weed control resulting from exposure of untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or
reshaped after incorporation.
10.6 Postemergence Surface Application
[Insert brand name] may be applied postemergence until corn reaches 11 inches in height.
Application may be made prior to or after weed seedling emergence. If weeds are emerged
at application, apply a labeled postemergence herbicide with this product to control the
emerged weeds. Read and follow all restrictions and directions on all product labels.
[Insert brand name] will provide limited activity on emerged susceptible broadleaf weeds up
to 2 inches tall but will not control emerged grass weeds present at application listed in the
Weeds Controlled section of this label. If grass and broadleaf weeds have emerged, best
results will be achieved by tank mixing a Roundup agricultural brand product labeled for
control of emerged weeds. [Insert brand name] will provide soil residual control of the
grass and broadleaf weeds listed in the Weeds Controlled section of this label.
Sprinkler Irrigation: Do not apply [insert brand name] herbicide by sprinkler
irrigation. Use a sprinkler system only to incorporate [insert brand name] after
application. After [insert brand name] has been applied, a sprinkler irrigation system set to
deliver 0.25 to 0.75 inch of water per acre may be used to incorporate the product. Using
more than 0.75 inch of water could result in reduced performance. On sandy soil low in
organic matter, use no more than 0.5 inch of water. Do not use flood irrigation to apply or
incorporate [insert brand name].
10.7 Cultivation Information
Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge.
Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is
Reg. No. 524-614 Revised Master Labeling Minor changes notified - Submitted: 27-July-2015 Page 24 of 27
necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize
lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment. If a
band application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to
throw soil into the row covering the band
10.8 Application Rates for [Insert brand name] in Conventional and Herbicide
Tolerant Field Corn and Silage Corn
[Insert brand name] may be used in conventional, reduced and no-till systems. Optimal
weed control will be obtained when applications are made as close as possible to planting
corn but before weeds emerge. However, applications may be made from 30 days prior to
planting through 11-inch tall corn.
In reduced or no-till systems, it is recommended that a burndown herbicide, such as a
Roundup agricultural herbicide, dicamba, or 2,4-D be tank mixed with [insert brand name]
if emerged weeds are present at application. [Insert brand name] may be used at rates
from 1.5 to 3.0 pints per acre. Use rates in the higher end of the rate range for soil type,
