2 Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals CAUTION. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Harmful if swallowed. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Protective eyewear such as face shield, goggles, or safety glasses • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves • Shoes plus socks Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. DO NOT reuse them. Engineering Controls When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air- craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. IMPORTANT:When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for applicators and other handlers and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown. Environmental Hazards For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Groundwater Advisory. This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. 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 sur- face water due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reach- ing surface water via runoff for several weeks after application. A level, well-maintained 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 chemical from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoid- ing application when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after han- dling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing.

3 Proper Handling Instructions. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of wells (including aban- doned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to prop- erly 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 applica- tion equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad con- structed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad must be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the 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 at a minimum 110% 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% 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 specific minimum containment capacity DOES 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. This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back-siphoning in wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide spray mixture. Endangered Species Protection Requirements This product may have effects on federally listed threatened or endangered plant species or their critical habitat. When using this product, you must follow the measures con- tained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the county or parish in which you are applying the pesti- cide. To determine whether your county or parish has a Bulletin, and to obtain that Bulletin, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/, or call 1-800-447-3813 no more than 6 months before using this product. Applicators must use Bulletins that are in effect in the month in which the pesticide will be applied. New Bulletins will generally be available from the above sources 6 months prior to their effective dates. Directions For Use It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man- ner inconsistent with its labeling. This labeling must be in the possession of the user at time of herbicide application. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact work- ers 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. Observe all directions, restrictions, and precautions in this label and the labels of products used in combination with Optill ® herbicide. Keep containers closed to avoid spills and contamination.

Product Information Optill® herbicide provides both contact burndown and residual preemergence broadleaf and grass weed control (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for lists of weeds controlled dependent on application rate). It can be used in Clearfield ® corn and specified legume vegetable crops including: chickpea (garbanzo bean), dry field peas, English peas, and soybean. Refer to Crop-specific Information section for use directions. Make burndown application of Optill when weeds are small and actively growing. An adjuvant is required with Optill for optimum burndown activity (refer to Additives section for details). Burndown activity may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather con- ditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees) may improve pen- etration of denser weed canopies. Residual preemergence application of Optill must be acti- vated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation before weed seedling emergence. When Optill is not acti- vated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation may be needed to control weed escapes. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. Open dumping is prohibited. Pesticide Storage DO NOT use or store near heat or open flame. Store in original container in a well-ventilated area separately from fertilizer, feed, or foodstuffs and away from other pesti- cides. Avoid cross-contamination with other pesticides. Groundwater contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material. Pesticide Disposal Wastes resulting from this product may be disposed of on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mix, or rinsate is a vio- lation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to label instructions, contact the state agency responsible for pesticide regulation or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. Container Handling Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recy- cling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by inciner- ation, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities. Triple rinse containers small enough to shake (capacity ≤50 pounds) as follows: Empty the remain- ing contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or mix tank. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Optill is rapidly absorbed by roots and foliage. Plant death is the result of membrane damage and inhibition of the production of branched chain amino acids. Under active growing conditions, susceptible emerged weeds usually develop chlorotic and necrotic injury symptoms within hours and die within a few days. Susceptible emerging weed seedlings usually die as they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence. Resistance Management While weed resistance to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase inhibiting herbicide is relatively infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase or acetohydroxyacid-synthase inhibiting herbicides are known to exist. Resistance management practices include:

1. Following labeled application rate and weed growth-stage
2. Avoiding repeated applications of herbicides with the same mode of action
3. Using tank mixes and sequential applications with other effective herbicides possessing different modes of action
4. Using crop rotation so that crop competition, tillage, or herbicides with alternative modes of action can be used to control weed escapes Crop Tolerance Crops are tolerant to Optill when applied according to label directions as a preplant to pre emergence treatment and under normal environmental conditions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions (e.g. seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought). Severe crop injury will result if Optill is applied postemergence (over the top) to any crop.

10 Application Instructions Apply Optill® herbicide before crop emergence only. Application Methods and Equipment Optill may be applied by ground or air. Thorough spray coverage is required for optimum weed control and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle and spray volume selection. Use and configure application equipment to provide an adequate spray volume, an accurate and uniform distribu- tion of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust equipment to main- tain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that increase rates above the use rates specified in this label. Optill may only be applied using water as the spray carrier. Aerial Application Requirements Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre. Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial application:

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter.
2. Use low-drift nozzles such as straight-stream nozzles (D-8 or larger). DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet spray.
3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees.
4. Without compromising aircraft safety, application should be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop canopy or tallest plants.
5. DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversion or stable atmospheric conditions.
6. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 26-feet buffer between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensi- tive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Ground Application Requirements Water Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water per treated acre for weed control application. Thorough spray cover- age is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or variations in size can prevent thor- ough spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) will also require thor- ough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray coverage and optimize burndown activity. Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground applications:
7. Apply this product using nozzles which deliver medium- to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASAE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs. Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burn- down applications while flood-jet type nozzles are recommended for residual soil surface application. Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target (i.e. weeds or soil surface). DO NOT use nozzles that produce fine (e.g. cone) spray droplets.
8. Apply this product only when the potential for drift to adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e.g. when the wind is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive areas). DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversion or stable atmospheric conditions.
9. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 13-feet buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive ter- restrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, and shrub lands). Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product. Spray Drift Management It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at the application site, especially onto nontarget areas. The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica- tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the following spray drift reduction advisory information. Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Volume. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s rec- ommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increas- ing pressure. Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Swath Adjustment. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind.

11 Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g. air- craft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.). Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if:

1. Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or
2. Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. 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. Additives For optimum burndown activity with Optill® herbicide, an adjuvant system must be used that includes the following: 1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methylated seed oil. Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than 60% methylated seed oil. 2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (< 12.5 gallons per acre) aerial or ground applications. Use of AMS fertilizer is highly recommended when mixing Optill with glyphosate-based herbicides. DO NOT use nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for MSO or poor performance on broadleaf weeds will occur. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. Tank Mixing Information Optill may be tank mixed with one or more registered herbicide products according to the specific tank mixing instructions in this label and respective product labels. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all prod- ucts in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Refer to Crop-specific Information section for details. Tank mixes with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone, paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Optill. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.
3. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.
4. Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of label rate per acre.
5. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo- nent additions.
6. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
7. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addi- tion of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank. Mixing Order Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and applica- tion until spraying is completed.
8. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start agitation.
9. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.
10. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
11. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fertil- izers such as AMS or UAN)
12. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions)
13. Water-soluble products
14. Emulsifiable concentrates (including MSO adjuvants)
15. Remaining quantity of water If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend the mix- ture before spraying is resumed. Continue agitation while spraying. Adjuvant Rate Methylated seed oil (MSO)1 1 gal/100 gals (1% v/v)2 PLUS PLUS Ammonium sulfate (AMS) or Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) 8.5 to 17 lbs/100 gals (1% to 2% w/v) or 1.25 to 2.5 gals/100 gals (1.25% to 2.5% v/v)

12 Use Restrictions • Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to the Crop - specific Information section for maximum cropping seasonal application use rates for each crop and use pat- tern. A cropping season is defined as the period following harvest of the preceding crop through the harvest of the planned or current crop. • DO NOT apply Optill ® herbicide after crop emergence. • DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. • DO NOT apply Optill through any type of irrigation sys- tem (e.g. chemigation). • Optill is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State. Use Precautions • Optill will cause severe crop injury if applied after crop emergence. • Full rate application of products containing chlorimuron ethyl, chloransulam-methyl, flumetsulam, imazaquin, or imazethapyr in the same year as Optill may increase the risk of injury to sensitive follow crops. Consult the respec- tive labels of these products for recommended uses of these products in combinations. • Only rotational crops harvested at maturity may be used for feed or food. • When organophosphate or carbamate insecticides are tank mixed with Optill, temporary injury may result to the treated crops. • Rainfastness - Optill is rainfast 1 hour after application. Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 1 hour of application. Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals Use Table 3 and its exceptions in the paragraphs following the table to determine the proper interval between Optill application and rotational crop planting to determine the acceptable planting interval for rotational crops as well as replanting after crop failure (because of environmental fac- tors such as drought, frost or hail, etc.). Determine the rotational crop interval for tank mix* products and use the most restrictive interval of all products applied.

• Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for further instructions. Table 3. Rotational Crop Planting and Emergency Replanting Intervals after application of Optill at 2.0 ozs/A a The planting interval for these crops and rates is further defined in the respective Crop-specific Information section of this label. Use the longer interval within listed ranges for indicated crops grown on coarse- textured soils with organic matter less than 2.0%. b Use the longest interval for rye grown in North Dakota and Minnesota north of Highway #210. c Following 40 months after an Optill application and before planting any crop not listed elsewhere in the Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals, a successful field bioassay must be completed. The field bioassay consists of a test strip of the intended rotational crop planted across the previously treated field and grown to maturity. The test strip should include low areas and knolls and include variations in soil such as type and pH. If no crop injury is evi- dent in the test strip, the intended rotational crop may be planted the following year. Sugar beet production can be reduced when grown in soil conditions with a pH less than 6.5. If the field is limed to adjust pH before planting rotational crops not listed in Rotational Crop Restrictions, Crop Rotation, and Emergency Replanting Intervals, apply the lime at least 12 months before planting the rotational crop. Use of Optill in accordance with label directions is expect- ed to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations. However, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated Crop Rotational Crop Interval (months after application) Clearfield® corn 0 Soybeans 0 to 1a Southern peas 1 Clearfield® wheat 3 Alfalfa Clover Edible beans and peas (other than Southern peas) Peanuts Wheat 4 Rye 4 to 18b Field corn and field corn grown for seed 8.5 Barley Tobacco Clearfield ® canola Clearfield® sunflower 9.5 Cotton Lettuce Oats Popcorn Safflower Sorghum Sunflower Sweet corn 18 Flax Potatoes 26 Other crops 40c

Exceptions to Crop Rotation Restrictions Barley (Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia only) Barley may be planted 4 months following an Optill ® herbicide application in these states. Corn inbred lines Corn inbred seed lines may be planted the year following an application of Optill. Growers are directed to contact the seed company for information and recommendations regarding the planting of corn grown for seed in fields treat- ed with Optill the previous year. Because growing conditions, environmental conditions and grower practices are beyond the control of BASF, all risks and conse- quences associated with planting seed corn inbreds into fields treated previously with Optill shall be assumed by the user. Sweet corn and popcorn varieties (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin only) Sweet corn and popcorn varieties may be planted the year following an application of Optill. Some sweet corn and popcorn varieties may be injured when planted at less than 18 months following an application of Optill. Before plant- ing sweet corn for processing, contact the processor company for information and recommendations regarding the tolerance of sweet corn varieties planned for fields treated with Optill the previous year. DO NOT plant fresh market sweet corn varieties before 18 months after Optill use. Before planting popcorn, contact the popcorn com- pany for information and recommendations regarding the tolerance of popcorn varieties planned for fields treated with Optill the previous year. Because growing conditions, environmental conditions, and grower practices are beyond the control of BASF to the extent consistent with applicable law, all risks and consequences associated with planting sweet corn or popcorn varieties into fields treated previous- ly with Optill shall be assumed by the user. Stunting and maturity delay or other adverse effects may result when sweet corn or popcorn are planted following Optill use. Certain vegetable crops (Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia only) The following crops may be planted 18 months following the last application of Optill: Bahiagrass, cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumber, Irish potato, onion, sweet pepper transplants, sweet potato transplants, tomato transplants and watermelon. Field corn and field corn grown for seed (Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) Plant 9.5 months after Optill application. Wheat Wheat may be planted 3 months following an Optill appli- cation in areas east of Interstate Highway I-35. When Optill is applied at no more than 1.5 ozs/A to edible legumes in the use areas described, the following rotational restrictions apply: Following an application of Optill, chick- peas and peas may be planted anytime, lentil may be planted 1 month, and barley may be planted 4 months. Crop-specific Information This section provides use directions for Optill in specific crops. Read product information, mixing, application, weeds controlled and adjuvant instructions in preceding sections of the label. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are regis- tered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Depending on specific crop application directions, Optill may be applied for burndown control of emerged weeds and/or residual control of germinating weeds (refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for lists of weeds controlled depen- dent on application rate) before planting (preplant/preseed) or after planting but before crop emergence. Depending on the time between Optill application and planting, a fol- lowup in-crop herbicide application may be needed for complete weed control throughout the growing season. Thorough spray coverage is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or variations in size can prevent adequate spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov- erage and optimize burndown activity. Clearfield® Corn Use Optill in Clearfield corn production only. Use in non-Clearfield corn or after corn emergence will result in crop injury. Application Method, Rate, and Timing Apply Optill at 2.0 ozs/A in a single application as a pre- plant burndown, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment in Clearfield corn (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled). Crop-specific Restrictions • Use only in Clearfield corn. • Not for use in Clearfield corn in California. • DO NOT apply Optill in North Dakota and Minnesota (north of Highway #210) in Clearfield corn. • DO NOT apply Optill after corn emergence.
