Product Information Saflufenacil CS herbicide provides rate-dependent residual preemergence broadleaf weed control (refer to Table 1 for list) . It can be used in field corn (grain, seed, silage), fallow, and postharvest croplands . Saflufenacil CS does not control grass weeds and must be used sequentially or tank mixed with a grass herbicide for a complete weed control program . Residual preemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS must be activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation before weed seedling emergence . When Saflufenacil CS is not activated, a labeled postemer- gence herbicide or cultivation may be needed to control weed escapes .

6 Mode of Action Saflufenacil CS herbicide is a potent inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen- oxidase belonging to herbicide mode of action Group 14  (WSSA) . Saflufenacil CS is rapidly absorbed by roots and foliage . Following inhibition of protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, plant death is the result of membrane damage . Under active growing conditions, sus- ceptible 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 . Herbicide Resistance Management While weed resistance to Group 14 herbicides are rela- tively infrequent, populations of resistant biotypes are known to exist . The frequency of resistant biotypes may increase if Group 14 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary control of the targeted species . If resistant biotypes dominate the weed population, it may result in partial or total loss of control by other Group 14 herbicides . Weeds resistant to Group 14 herbicides may be effectively managed using herbicide(s) from a different group . To aid in the prevention of developing resistant weeds, the following herbicide resistance management principles should be followed where practicable: • Resistance management should be part of a diversified weed control strategy that integrates chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics . Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertilizer placement, and optimum seeding rate/row spacing . Start with clean fields using tillage or an effective burndown herbicide program . These practices encourage crop growth and improve competitiveness against weeds . • Clean equipment before moving to a different field to avoid spread of resistant weeds . • Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weeds species and weed sizes present . • Always follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage specifications . • Use sequential programs with preemergence herbicides that provide soil residual control of weeds to reduce early season weed competition and allow for timely in-crop postemergence herbicide applications . • DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed control during the growing season . • Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of action more than twice a season . • Use tank mixes or premixes with other herbicides pos - sessing different sites of action that are also effective on the target weeds . • Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas where weed control was ineffective . • Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif - ferent site of action or use a mechanical control measure . Weed escapes should not be allowed to repro- duce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively . • Contact your Saflufenacil CS supplier and/or your local BASF representative to report weed escapes . • Consult your local BASF representative, local or state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or crop advisors, or other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if you suspect resistant weeds . • Suspected herbicide-resistance 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 on non-controlled plants of a partic - ular weed species; or
• surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species . Crop Tolerance Crops listed on this label are tolerant to Saflufenacil CS when applied according to label directions and under nor - mal environmental conditions . Crop injury may occur under stressful growing conditions (e .g . mechanical injury, low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme hot or cold weather, widely fluctuating temperatures, excessive mois- ture, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought) . Application Instructions Saflufenacil CS may be applied before or after crop emergence . Application Rates Application rates of Saflufenacil CS may vary depending on soil texture and organic matter . Refer to Table 2 for soil texture groups used in this label . Table 2. Soil Texture Groups Coarse Medium Fine Sand Loamy sand Sandy loam Silt Silt loam Loam Sandy clay loam Sandy clay Silty clay Silty clay loam Clay loam Clay Refer to the Crop-specific Information section for spe- cific application rate, timing, and restrictions and limitations by crop and use pattern .

Refer to the Crop-specific Information section for specific application instructions (timings, rates, restrictions and precautions) by crop . Preplant Surface Application. Apply Saflufenacil CS alone or in tank mix within 30 days of planting . If weeds are present at the time of application, use additional weed control methods, for example a tank mix with an appropri - ate postemergence herbicide(s), to control emerged weeds . Preplant Incorporated (PPI) Application. Incorporate Saflufenacil CS into the upper (1 to 2 inches) soil surface within 14 days of planting . Deeper incorporation may increase the potential for crop injury and also may result in reduced weed control . Use appropriate equipment for uni- form shallow incorporation, including a field cultivator, harrow, rolling cultivator, or finishing disc . Preemergence Surface Application. After planting and before crop emergence, apply a uniform broadcast treat- ment to the soil surface . Apply Saflufenacil CS only to a uniform seedbed which is firm and free of clods, cracks, excess trash (previous crop residue), and weed growth . If weeds are present, apply Saflufenacil CS in a tank mix with an appropriate postemergence herbicide, for example a glyphosate-containing product . Early Postemergence Application. Saflufenacil CS must be applied and activated before weed seedling emer- gence or in a tank mixture that controls emerged weeds . Saflufenacil CS will not control emerged weeds . Weeds that are already emerged at the time of application must be controlled with cultivation, tank mix or sequential appli - cation of another herbicide labeled for postemergence control of the target weeds in the crop . Application Methods and Equipment Saflufenacil CS may be applied by ground or air . Thor- ough spray coverage is required for optimum broadleaf weed control and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection . Use and configure application equipment for adequate spray volume, accurate and uniform distribution of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas . Adjust equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation . Avoid overlaps that will increase rates above use rates specified in this label . Saflufenacil CS may be applied using water or sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray carrier . Addi- tionally, Saflufenacil CS may be impregnated on and applied with dry bulk fertilizer . Aerial Application Requirements - Helicopter Water Volume. Use 15 or more gallons of water per acre . Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial appli - cation with helicopter: 1 . The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 75 to 80% of rotor blade diameter . 2 . Use Accu-FloTM .028 nozzles or larger . DO NOT use nozzles producing a smaller droplet size than Accu-Flo  .028 . 3 . Orient nozzles so spray is released parallel to the airstream . 4 . Without compromising aircraft safety, applications should be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the target vegetative canopy . 5 . DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver - sions or stable atmospheric conditions . 6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 50-foot buffer between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensi- tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands) . Aerial Application Requirements - Fixed-wing Aircraft Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre for weed control application . 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 . 2 . Use low-drift nozzles (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 point 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 when wind speed is greater than 10 miles per hour, during periods of temperature inver - sions or stable atmospheric conditions .

8 6 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 160-foot buffer between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensi- tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands) . Ground Application Requirements Spray Carrier Volume. Use 5 or more gallons of water per treated acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer per treated acre for weed control application . Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground application: 1 . Apply this product using nozzles which deliver medium-to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASABE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manu- facturer’s catalogs . Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burndown 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 . 2 . 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 inversions or stable atmospheric conditions . 3 . Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by maintaining a 75-foot buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive ter- restrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands) . Ground Application (dry bulk fertilizer) Saflufenacil CS herbicide may be impregnated or coat- ed onto dry bulk granular fertilizer carriers for residual soil surface application . Impregnation or coating may be con- ducted by in-plant bulk or on-board systems . Perform the mixing operation in well-ventilated areas . Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer and herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application because of high humidity, high urea concentration, or low fertilizer use rate . Slowly add the drying agent to the blend until a flowable mixture is obtained . Drying agents are not recommended for use with on-board impregnation systems . Under some conditions, fertilizer impregnated with Saflufenacil CS may clog air tubes or deflector plates on pneumatic application systems . Mineral oil may be added to Saflufenacil CS before blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging . DO NOT use drying agents when mineral oil is used . To avoid separation of Saflufenacil CS and mineral oil mixes in cold temperatures, keep mixture heated or agi- tate before blending with fertilizer . Mineral oil may be used with in-plant blending stations or on-board injection systems . Generally, fertilizer application rates of at least 200 lbs to 700 lbs per acre of herbicide and fertilizer blend provide adequate distribution or coverage of Saflufenacil CS across the soil surface . Refer to Table 5 in this label for use rates of Saflufenacil CS to be applied on per acre basis when impregnated with fertilizer to create the dry bulk fertilizer blend for application . Application must be made uniformly to the soil to prevent possible crop injury and offer satisfactory weed control . Impregnated fertilizer spread at half rate and overlapped for a full rate offers a more uniform distribution . A shallow (less than 2 inches) incorporation is desirable for improved weed control . Deeper incorporation dilutes the herbicide layer near the soil surface and may result in unsatisfactory weed control . To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertiliz- er application: fl ozs herbicide per acre x 2000 = fl ozs herbicide per ton of fertilizerpounds fertilizer per acre Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by 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 Advisories The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray drift . Be aware of nearby nontarget sites and environmen- tal 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 Volume. Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop- lets 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 .

9 Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft Adjust Nozzles Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles . Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles must 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 must 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 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 Inversion Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion . Tem- perature 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 . 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 . Additives Saflufenacil CS herbicide is formulated to provide opti- mal residual preemergence weed control . No additive is needed when Saflufenacil CS is applied alone . However, several herbicide tank mixes with Saflufenacil CS may require an adjuvant to improve burn- down of emerged weeds . Therefore, depending on the timing of application relative to crop emergence, the fol- lowing adjuvants may be used with Saflufenacil CS tank mixes: For applications made before crop emergence (i .e ., pre- plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence): non-ionic surfactant (NIS), crop oil concentrate (COC), methylated seed oil (MSO), urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) . For applications made after crop emergence (i .e ., early postemergence): NIS at 0 .25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal) optionally with a spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8 .5 to 17 lbs/100 gallons of water . If using liquid AMS product, use a rate that delivers an AMS equivalent of 8 .5 to 17 lbs/100 gallons of water . The use of COC may result in temporary crop injury . DO NOT add MSO or UAN to a Saflufenacil CS spray mix . 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 It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended use . Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limita - tions and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing . Users must follow the most restrictive direc- tions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture . Saflufenacil CS may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with other herbicide products registered for use in any labeled crop found in this label for a broader spectrum of residual weed control . Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the respective tank mix products are regis- tered for use on the labeled crop . Read and follow tank mix product labels for application instructions, use restrictions and precautions, and rotational cropping guidance . Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test . 1 . 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 . 2 . 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 . 3 . Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com- ponent additions . 4 . When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes . 5 . Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability . The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture . If the spray solution is not compati- ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent . If the solution is then com- patible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label . If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank .

10 Mixing Order Maintain agitation throughout mixing and application until spraying is completed . 1 . Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start agitation . 2 . Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added . 3 . 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 prod- uct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing . 4 . Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fer- tilizers AMS or UAN) 5 . Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions); add Saflufenacil CS herbicide now . 6 . Water-soluble products (including certain glyphosate formulated products) 7 . Emulsifiable concentrates (including MSO adjuvants) 8 . 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 . Use Restrictions • Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to Crop- specific Information section for maximum cropping seasonal application use rates for each crop and use pattern . A cropping season is defined as the period fol- lowing harvest of the preceding crop through the harvest of the planned or current crop . • DO NOT contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes . • DO NOT apply Saflufenacil CS through any type of irrigation system (e .g . chemigation) . • Saflufenacil CS is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State.

11 Crop Rotation and Emergency Replanting Intervals Refer to Table 4 for the proper interval between Saflufenacil CS herbicide application and planting of rotational crops or replanting after crop failure (because of environmental factors including drought, frost, or hail, etc .) . Determine the rota- tional crop interval for tank mix products and use the most restrictive interval of all products applied . Table 4.

• Interval is 0 months in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington . ** Cover crops (winter, spring) may be planted after application of Saflufenacil CS , either inter-seeded into the current crop before harvest or after harvest of the cur rent crop . Depending on the sensitivity of the sown cover crop to Saflufenacil CS , stand establishment may be reduced . If cover crops were sown less than 4 months after Saflufenacil CS application, DO NOT harvest cover crops as a food or feed crop, and DO NOT allow livestock to graze cover crops .

12 Crop-specific Information Read product information, mixing, application, weeds con - trolled, and additive instructions in preceding sections of the label . Field Corn (grain, seed, silage) Saflufenacil CS herbicide may be applied preplant sur- face, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or early postemergence to corn for residual preemergence control of broadleaf weeds (Table 1) . Corn in this label refers to field corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage) . Before applying Saflufenacil CS to seed corn, verify the selectivity of Saflufenacil CS on your inbred line or hybrid with your local seed company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids . Application Rate Use Saflufenacil CS as a part of a weed control program in field corn either in combination or sequentially with other herbicides for a broader spectrum of weed control . Apply Saflufenacil CS in field corn at the residual rates provided in Table 5 . Table 5. Residual Rates of Saflufenacil CS in Field Corn Application Timing Use Rate1 by Soil Texture2 (fl ozs/A) Coarse Medium Fine Preplant Surface 5 .3 to 6 .6 [5 .3 to 15 .8] 6 .6 to 7 .9 [6 .6 to 15 .8] 6 .6 to 10 .5 [6 .6 to 15 .8] Preplant Incorporated Preemergence Early Postemergence 6 .6 to 7 .9 [6 .6 to 15 .8] 1 Application rates in Table 5 eliminate early season broadleaf weed in - terference until cultivation or a labeled postemergence herbicide is applied . 2 Refer to Table 2 for definition of soil texture groups . Text in brackets [ ] is alternate text. Application Timing Saflufenacil CS may be applied in a single application or in sequential applications . Early Preplant Surface Application (within 15 to 30 days of planting) Use application rates in Table 5 when making early pre- plant surface applications, using the highest application rate for a given soil texture . Early preplant surface applica- tions are not advised on coarse soils, or in areas where average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches . Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part of a split application program where applications are made as part of the application timings described in this label . However, the cumulative total of sequential application rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a given soil texture . Preplant Surface and Preplant Incorporated Applications (within 14 days of planting) Saflufenacil CS can be applied at use rates specified in Table 5 to the soil surface or incorporated up to 14 days before planting on all soil types . For preplant incorporated application, apply Saflufenacil CS and incorporate into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches) . Use a harrow, rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other implement capable of uniform shallow incorporation . Avoid deeper incorporation or reduced weed control may result . Preemergence Surface Application Apply Saflufenacil CS at use rates specified in Table 5 as a broadcast spray to the soil surface after planting and before crop emergence . Early Postemergence Application Apply Saflufenacil CS at use rates specified in Table 5 as a broadcast spray to field corn at spiking up to the V8 stage (visible eighth leaf collar) [ Alternate text: V3 stage (visible third leaf collar) or V4 stage (visible fourth leaf collar) or V5 stage (visible fifth leaf collar) or V6 stage (visible sixth leaf collar)] . Sequential Application If a sequential application program of Saflufenacil CS is used (e .g . preplant followed by preemeergence applica - tion, or preplant or preemergence followed by an early postemergence application), the maximum combined rate of Saflufenacil CS that may be applied in field corn per year is 15 .8 fl ozs/A (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) . Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply Saflufenacil CS to popcorn or sweet corn . • DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) in a single application . • DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) as a maxi- mum cumulative amount from sequential applications in field corn per cropping season . • DO NOT apply Saflufenacil CS where an at-planting application of an organophosphate (OP) or carbamate insecticide(s) is planned and/or has occurred because severe injury may result . Saflufenacil CS may be applied with all other classes of at-planting insecticides including neonicotinoid and pyrethroids . EXCEPTION: Saflufenacil CS may be applied when Aztec® 2.1% granular insecticide , Aztec® 4.67 G granular insecticide , or SmartChoice ® 5G granular insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or in-furrow .

13 • DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of 0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil per cropping sea- son in field corn from all product sources . • There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre - plant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or early postemergence application of Saflufenacil CS herbicide and the harvest of field corn . Corn forage and stover may be fed to livestock after harvest . Crop-specific Precautions • When applied before crop emergence, Saflufenacil CS use may result in delayed corn emergence and stunting under certain environmental conditions including cool temperatures, excessive rainfall/irrigation, and/or per- sistent wet soil conditions occurring after application . • Ensure the corn seed row is closed . Soil conditions that cause poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result in delayed corn emergence or stunting . • Application of this product with other postemergence or residual herbicides may increase the potential for crop injury after corn has emerged . • Early postemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS may result in crop response symptoms consisting of foli- ar spotting on emerged leaves . Use of an adjuvant can increase the level of foliar spotting on emerged leaves . Refer to Additives section for more details on adjuvants . • Tank mixing of Saflufenacil CS with Glufosinate formu- lations for early postemergence applications is NOT advised as corn injury could result . • Early postemergence applications of Saflufenacil CS should be made with water as the carrier . Sprayable fluid fertilizer as an herbicide carrier for early postemergence applications in corn can typically cause corn injury up to and including tissue burn (necrosis) . Sprayable fluid fertil- izer as a carrier is NOT advised for use with Saflufenacil CS after crop emergence unless typical fertilizer burn symptoms are acceptable . • Make applications of Saflufenacil CS promptly after preparing the spray mixture . Avoid use of spray solutions of Saflufenacil CS which have been allowed to stand or have been stored in application equipment or the mix tank for an extended period of time as corn injury could result . Fallow and Postharvest Croplands Saflufenacil CS may be used for residual control of broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the fallow period following crop harvest and before the following crop is planted . Application Rate and Timing Saflufenacil CS may be applied in a single application or in sequential applications . For residual broadleaf weed control, apply Saflufenacil CS at 5 .3 to 10 .5 fl ozs/A . Specific rotational crop planting intervals must be observed between application of Saflufenacil CS and planting of the following crop (see Table 4 for rotational crop planting intervals) . Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply more than 10 .5 fl ozs/A of Saflufenacil CS (0 .089 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) in a single application . • DO NOT apply more than 15 .8 fl ozs/A of Saflufenacil CS (0 .134 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) as a maxi- mum cumulative amount from sequential applications in fallow and postharvest croplands per cropping season . • Retreatment Interval (minimum) - 14 days
