2.3 User Safety Requirements
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
laundry.
2.4 Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (WPS
(40 CFR 170.607(d-e))), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as
specified in the WPS.
2.5 User Safety Recommendations
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• 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. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
2.6 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
wash water or rinsate.
2.6.1 Groundwater Advisory
S-metolachlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a
result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
2.6.2 Surface Water Advisory
S-metolachlor and mesotrione may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This
6
product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
several weeks or months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip
between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds,
streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of S-metolachlor from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
2.6.3 Non-Target Organism Advisory
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage habitat of non-target
organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and
habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Lumax Flexi may be used preemergence and postemergence in the culture of field corn,
seed corn and sugarcane. Lumax Flexi may also be used in the culture of sweet corn, yellow
popcorn or grain sorghum but the application must be made prior to crop emergence, (i.e.,
preplant or preemergence) or severe crop injury may occur.
Lumax Flexi may be used in all tillage systems including reduced and no-till systems. The
highest levels of in-crop residual weed control will be obtained when applications are made
as close to planting as possible.
Applied according to use directions and under normal growing conditions, Lumax Flexi will
not harm the treated crop. During germination and early stages of growth, environmental
conditions or other factors that favor poor or slow growth can weaken crop seedlings. Lumax
Flexi used under these conditions can result in crop injury.
Lumax Flexi is a combination of the herbicides mesotrione and S-metolachlor plus the
safener benoxacor. Determine the soil type and organic matter of the soil on which the
application is to be made prior to application. The use rate of Lumax Flexi is based on soil
type and percent soil organic matter.
Lumax Flexi can be used for management of the weed species listed in Section 8.0.
3.1 Weed Resistance Management
Lumax Flexi is a combination of S-metolachlor (Group 15) and mesotrione (Group 27).
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf weed species with resistance to triazines,
ALS, PPO, Glycine (glyphosate) and HPPD herbicides are known to exist. If biotypes of
weeds resistant to triazines, ALS, PPO and glycine inhibitors are present in the field, this
herbicide should control them if they are listed in Section 8.0.
To reduce the risk of weeds developing resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides, implement
a program including both preemergence and/or postemergence herbicides that provides
effective control of all weeds using multiple modes of action. This includes scouting fields
before application to ensure the herbicide will be appropriate for the weeds present. Scout
fields and eliminate weed escapes. If suspected weed resistance is observed against a
particular weed species, contact your Syngenta or retailer representative or call Syngenta
Customer Service (1-800-334-9481). Lack of weed control is not necessarily an indicator of
weed resistance.
9
Consider weed resistance management strategies that include two or more modes of action
where a minimum of two modes of action are effective at controlling the target weed when
either are applied alone.
Read and follow all label directions.
Lumax Flexi Herbicide contains two herbicide active ingredients and two modes of action and
can be an effective component of a weed resistance management strategy.
3.1.1 Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed Management
Scout and know your field
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field history.
An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance management
strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all weeds present.
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and growth
stage. Always apply this herbicide at the labeled rate and correct timing for the weeds
present in the field.
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control,
harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for control of
emerged weeds.
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to leaving
fields.
Difficult to control weeds
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that allow the
use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different management practices.
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad spectrum
preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence herbicide applications.
Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action effective on the target weeds in
sequential applications.
Do not overuse the technology
• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the same mode
of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode
of action which provides overlapping spectrum for difficult to control weeds.
Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
10
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds.
o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
o Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected
ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of
action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production.
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers or
stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed
management and control weeds postharvest to prevent seed production.
Resistant Weeds
• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to
determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product are present in
your area.
• Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple modes of action.
Premixes 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 resistant biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at
the labeled timing, and tank-mix with an additional different mode of action product so
there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
Applications with Lumax Flexi alone or in tank mixtures are permitted only by ground
applications. Preplant, preemergence and postemergence applications are allowed as
specified in Section 9.0 unless restricted in Section 7.0. Refer to Section 4.5 for use of
Lumax Flexi with dry bulk fertilizers.
4.2 Application Equipment
• Configure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area
and minimize potential for spray drift.
• To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use.
• For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment
manufacturers and/or state recommendations.
• All ground equipment must be properly maintained.
• Spray nozzles should be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and should provide
accurate and uniform application.
11
• Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to avoid drift yet provide
good coverage.
• Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser.
• Flat fan nozzles of 80○ or 110○ are recommended for optimum postemergence coverage.
• Do not use flood-jet or venturi type nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for
postemergence applications.
• Nozzles may be angled forward 45° to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better
coverage with postemergence application.
• Use a pump that can maintain the manufacturers recommended pressure at the nozzles
and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed.
• Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles as long as
adequate coverage is maintained.
• Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for
brief periods of time.
• If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by
running on full agitation prior to spraying.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
• Good weed coverage is essential for optimum postemergence weed control.
• Boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications must be based on the height of the
crop at least 15 inches above the crop canopy, but only high enough to give uniform
coverage.
• For preemergence applications, apply in a spray volume of 10-80 gal/A.
• For early postemergence applications, apply in a spray volume of 10-30 gal/A. When
weed foliage is dense, use a minimum spray volume of 20 gal/A.
4.4 Mixing Directions
1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning
solution in a responsible manner. If water is used as the carrier, use clean water. Do not
use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with other materials, or crop damage or sprayer
clogging of the application device may occur.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.
3. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
4. Agitate the spray solution before and during application.
5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a
previously treated area.
4.4.1 Lumax Flexi Alone
1. For preemergence applications, either clean water or liquid fertilizer, excluding
suspension fertilizers, may be used as carriers. If liquid fertilizer is used, conduct a
compatibility test to ensure mixture compatibility.
2. For postemergence applications, use only clean water as the carrier.
12
3. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform mixture.
4. Even if Lumax Flexi is physically compatible with a liquid fertilizer, constant agitation is
necessary to maintain a uniform mixture during application.
5. Fill the spray tank ½ full with clean water or liquid fertilizer and add AMS (if used) while
continuing agitation
6. Add the specified amount of Lumax Flexi to the spray tank when the tank is half full of the
carrier.
7. Add an adjuvant, if needed.
8. Complete filling the spray tank and continue agitation.
4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions
• It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for use
on all specified product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most
restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture.
• Tank mixes of Lumax Flexi with other pesticides, fertilizers, or any other additives not
specifically labelled for use with Lumax Flexi may result in tank mix incompatibility or
unsatisfactory performance. In such cases, always check tank mix compatibility by
conducting a jar test according to guidance in Section 4.4.3 before actual tank mixing.
4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility
• Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt container with lid by adding water or other intended
carrier such a liquid fertilizer to the jar.
• Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticides(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative
proportions based on specified label rates. Add tank-mix components separately in the
order described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or
stir gently to thoroughly mix.
• After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10
times to mix.
• After mixing, let the mixture stand 1530 minutes and then examine for signs of
incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily
film on the jar.
• If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and can
be used.
• If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the specified
label rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar. If
incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, do not use the mixture.
• After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with
the storage and disposal section, Section 10.0, of this label.

4.4.4 Lumax Flexi in Tank Mixtures
1. Fill the spray tank or premix tank half full with clean water or liquid fertilizer.
2. Use only clean water as the carrier if applying Lumax Flexi after crop emergence.
3. Begin tank agitation and continue constantly throughout mixing and spraying.
4. Prepare the components and add in the following order:
a) If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is used, add slowly while continuing agitation until
completely dispersed.
b) If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with water and
add it slowly through the screen into the tank. Agitate during the procedure.
c) Mixing and compatibility may be improved when a dry flowable is diluted with water
before adding to the tank.
d) If a liquid formulation (excluding EC) is used, add slowly through screen into the tank.
e) Add Lumax Flexi.
f) Add any other tank mix products next with emulsifiable concentrate (EC) products
added last.
g) Add an adjuvant last, if needed.
5. Complete filling the spray tank and continue agitation.
6. Apply as soon as possible after spray mixture is prepared.
7. Do not leave mixture in spray tank overnight without agitation or unattended.
If Lumax Flexi is added to the spray tank via induction, compatibility may be compromised. If
an induction tank (or similar equipment) is used, add each product separately and allow each
to disperse into the spray tank before adding the next product. For best tank-mix
compatibility, rinse the induction tank with water before adding each component.
To avoid mixing issues, do not add Lumax Flexi to the spray tank via in-line injection.
4.4.5 Spray Additives
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the
standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant
certification program is recommended.
• Where Lumax Flexi is applied prior to crop emergence, add a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at
0.25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal), crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal) or
methylated seed oil (MSO) at 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal) for increased burndown activity.
• Where Lumax Flexi is applied after the crop has emerged, add a non-ionic surfactant
(NIS) at 0.25% v/v (1 qt/100 gal).
• The use of crop oil concentrate (COC) applied to the emerged crop may result in
temporary crop injury. In severe cases, injury can persist and result in crop stunting.
• Do not use methylated seed oil (MSO) or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) with Lumax Flexi
when applied alone to the emerged crop, or when Lumax Flexi is applied as a
postemergence tank mixture with other products, unless directed for a specific tank-mix
on this label or as part of a supplemental Lumax Flexi label.
• In addition to NIS, a spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5-17 lb/100 gallons of
spray solution may also be used.
14
• When using liquid AMS products, use a rate that delivers an AMS equivalent of 8.5-17
lb/100 gallons of spray solution.
4.5 Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers
Lumax Flexi may be impregnated or coated onto dry bulk fertilizers including ammonium
phosphate-sulfate, ammonium sulfate (AMS), diammonium phosphate (DAP),
monoammonium phosphate (MAP), potash (potassium chloride), potassium sulfate, urea, or
blends of these dry bulk fertilizer types.
When applying Lumax Flexi on dry bulk fertilizer, follow all directions for use and precautions
on the product label regarding target crops, application rate, timing of application and all
precautions and restrictions.
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration,
labeling, and application are the responsibility of the mixer and applicator.
4.5.1 Preparation of Herbicide/Fertilizer Mixtures
• Prepare the fertilizer/herbicide mixture by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other
commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender.
• Nozzles used to spray Lumax Flexi onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform
spray coverage.
• Care must be taken to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer and avoid spraying the
walls of the blender.
• If the fertilizer/herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application, adding a drying agent is
advised.
• Add the drying agent slowly to the fertilizer/herbicide blend until the mixture is suitable for
uniform application.
• The amount of drying agent needed will depend on fertilizer type, Lumax Flexi application
rate and amount of fertilizer used.
• Apply the fertilizer/herbicide blend immediately following impregnation.
4.5.2 Precautions
• TO AVOID POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION: Do not impregnate Lumax Flexi onto
ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate either alone or in blends with other
fertilizers.
• Do not impregnate Lumax Flexi onto single super phosphate or triple superphosphate
fertilizers.
• Do not impregnate Lumax Flexi on straight unadulterated agricultural limestone, since
absorption will not be achieved.
15
4.5.3 Application of Herbicide/Fertilizer Mixtures
• Apply a minimum of 200 lb of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated with Lumax Flexi at the
specified broadcast rate per acre.
• For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment
immediately after blending.
• Uniform application of the blended fertilizer/herbicide mixture is essential to prevent
possible crop injury and achieve weed control. Non-uniform application will result in
unsatisfactory weed control.
• In areas where tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the blended
fertilizer/herbicide mixture is advised for improved weed control.
Calculate amount of Lumax Flexi needed by the following formula:
2,000 X qt/A of = qt of Lumax Flexi
lb of fertilizers per acre Lumax Flexi ton of fertilizer
4.5.4 Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application
• Lumax Flexi may be applied through pneumatic applicators, whether the
fertilizer/herbicide mixture is blender-mixed or on-board fertilizer impregnation system.
• Lumax Flexi must not be mixed with any other liquid or dry material in on-board fertilizer
impregnation system tanks.
• Use high quality fertilizer with a minimum of fines when applying Lumax Flexi with on-
board impregnation equipment.
• Drying agents are not advised for use with on-board impregnation systems.
4.6 Sprayer Cleanout
Cleaning Equipment After Application
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than field
corn. Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
Equipment Cleaning Procedure
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal of household ammonia per 25 gal of water. Many
commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care
to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not
available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the
cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the
sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Remove
all visible deposits from the spraying system.
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-4 in an appropriate manner.
6. Repeat steps 2-5.
7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution
16
after completing the above procedures.
8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
5.0 REPLANT AND ROTATIONAL CROPS
Follow the crop replant/rotational intervals shown below. If Lumax Flexi is tank mixed with
other products, follow the most restrictive products crop rotation interval. The
replant/rotational interval is the time between the last application of Lumax Flexi and planting
of the replant/rotational crop.

6.0 COVER CROPS
A cover crop can be an important tool for the overall farm cropping system. Cover crops are
planted for conservation purposes, soil erosion control, soil health improvement, water quality
improvement and weed management. A cover crop can be a single crop or a combination of
crops, including grasses and/or broadleaf crops.
After harvest of a Lumax Flexi treated crop, planting of a cover crop is allowed provided the
cover crop is not grazed or fed to livestock nor harvested for food. Terminate the cover crop
through natural causes such as frost or intentional termination by herbicide application,
crimping, rolling, tillage or cutting.
All possible cover crops or cover crop combinations have not been tested for tolerance to this
product. Before planting the cover crop, determine the level of tolerance for the intended
cover crops by conducting a field bioassay. Refer to Section 6.1 for instructions on how to
conduct a field bioassay.
6.1 Field Bioassay for Cover Crops
A field bioassay is a method of determining if herbicide residues are present in the soil at
concentrations high enough to adversely affect crop growth.
Conduct the field bioassay by planting several strips of the desired cover crop across the field
which has been previously treated with Lumax Flexi. Plant the cover crop strips
perpendicular to the direction of the product application. Locate the strips so that all the
different field conditions are encountered, including differences in field terrain, soil texture,
organic matter, pH, and drainage.
If the cover crop does not show adverse effects such as crop injury and/or stand reduction,
the field can be planted to this cover crop. If injury and/or stand reduction are visible, wait
two to four weeks for further herbicide degradation to occur and repeat the bioassay.
Alternatively, select a different cover crop and repeat the bioassay. Only plant cover crops
that show acceptable tolerance in the field bioassay.
7.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
7.1 Use Restrictions
• DO NOT sell, use or distribute this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in the State of
New York.
• DO NOT apply this product within 50 ft of wells, including abandoned wells, drainage
wells, and sink holes.
• DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• DO NOT use aerial application to apply Lumax Flexi.
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation water used for crops or water used for domestic purposes.
• DO NOT use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
18
7.2 Use Precautions
• Avoid making applications 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:
o Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for
wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
rainfall or irrigation.
o Avoid making applications to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly
compacted surfaces.
o Avoid the use of tail water from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to
treat non-target crops, unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between
application and the first irrigation.
• Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, Lumax Flexi will
not harm the treated crop. During germination and early stages of growth, extended
periods of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plant disease attack,
carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil applied systemic insecticides,
improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may weaken crop seedlings. Lumax Flexi
used under these conditions could result in crop injury.
7.3 Mandatory Spray Drift Management
7.3.1 Ground Boom Applications
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser
droplets (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
7.4 Spray Drift Advisories
• THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
• BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVRIONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
7.4.1 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.
19
7.4.2 Controlling Droplet Size
• 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.
7.4.3 Boom Height
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
7.4.4 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.
7.4.5 Temperature and Humidity
• When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects
of evaporation.
7.4.6 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.
7.4.7 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.

• C = Control, PC = Partial Control
• If irrigation or a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after a preplant or preemergence
application, weed control may be decreased. If irrigation is available, apply ½ to 1 inch of water.
If irrigation is not available, a uniform shallow cultivation is advised as soon as weeds emerge or
apply an appropriately labeled herbicide to control emerged weeds.
• Should weeds develop after application, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result
in improved weed control. If Lumax Flexi was incorporated, cultivate less than half the depth of
incorporation.
• If cultivation is necessary due to soil crusting, compaction, or escaped weeds, adjust equipment
to run shallow and minimize soil movement. This will decrease the possibility of diluting or
moving the herbicide from the weed control zone.

Apply Lumax Flexi as the soil applied part
of a two-pass weed control program when
followed by a postemergence application of
a glyphosate based mixture.
Glyphosate applied alone is not an effective
resistance management strategy. Apply
glyphosate in combination with other
herbicides such that multiple effective sites
of action are delivered against the target
weeds.
When used in this way, Lumax Flexi will
provide reduced competition of the weeds
listed in Section 8.1 for a period of
approximately 30 days, thus improving the

followed by a postemergence application of
a glufosinate based mixture.
Glufosinate applied alone is not an effective
resistance management strategy. Apply
glufosinate in combination with other
herbicides such that multiple effective sites
of action are delivered against the target
weeds.
When used in this way, Lumax Flexi will
provide reduced competition of the weeds
listed in Section 8.1 for a period of 30 or
more days, thus improving the timing
flexibility and effectiveness of the
glufosinate based mixture.
Refer to Section 4.4.5 for prior to crop
emergence additive recommendations.

of a two-pass weed control program when
followed by a postemergence application of
Halex GT or Acuron GT.
Refer to Section 4.4.5 for prior to crop
emergence for additive recommendations.
Halex GT or Acuron GT applications require
the use of a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at
0.25-0.5% v/v. In addition to NIS, add a
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at
8.5 to 17 lb/100 gallons of spray solution.
Tank-Mix Options:
1. Refer to Section 9.1.2 for tank-mix options.
2. This product will not provide consistent control of emerged grass weeds. For control of emerged grass
weeds a grass herbicide tank mix may be required.
Resistance Management:
1. Refer to Section 3.1.
Precautions:
1. On soils with greater than 10% organic matter, Lumax Flexi activity may be affected resulting in reduced
or poor weed control.
2. If irrigation or a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after a preplant or preemergence
application, weed control may be decreased.
3. When Lumax Flexi is used as a preemergence herbicide, and before weeds have emerged, spray
adjuvants have little or no influence on performance.
4. Early postemergence application may result in occasional corn leaf bleaching or burn, but this will not
affect later growth or corn yield.
5. Applying Lumax Flexi postemergence to corn that has received an at-plant application of Counter
insecticide can result in severe corn injury.
26
6. Temporary corn injury may occur if Lumax Flexi is applied to emerged corn where organophosphate
insecticides other than Counter were applied at planting.
7. Postemergence (emerged corn) applications of any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide within 7

field corn designated as glyphosate resistant. Application
to corn that is not glyphosate resistant will result in crop
death.
To minimize weed competition with the crop, target the
application of this mixture to weeds less than 3 inches in
height.
If the glyphosate product has a built-in adjuvant system
(i.e., the product label does not ask for additional
adjuvant), only spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at
8.5-17 lb/100 gal of spray solution may be added to this
mixture. If the glyphosate product label calls for an
adjuvant in addition to AMS, add a non-ionic surfactant
(NIS) at 0.25% v/v and AMS to this spray mixture. When
tank-mixing, follow the most restrictive additive tank-
mix products label language.
Do not add urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), crop oil
concentrate (COC), or methylated seed oil (MSO) type
adjuvants to these mixtures, or crop injury may occur.

TANK-MIX USE RESTRICTIONS
1) Do not make postemergence (emerged corn) applications of Lumax Flexi in a tank mix with any
organophosphate or carbamate insecticide, or severe corn injury may occur.
2) Do not add urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), crop oil concentrate (COC), or methylated seed oil (MSO)
type adjuvants to tank mixtures with glyphosate for early postemergence application in glyphosate
tolerant corn or with Liberty in glufosinate tolerant corn, or crop injury may occur.
3) For all tank mixtures, refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates,
approved uses, rotational restrictions and a list of weeds controlled. Follow the most restrictive label.
4) When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with Lumax Flexi to
corn, do not exceed an application rate of 2.0 lb ai/A for any single application and the total atrazine
applied must not exceed 2.5 lb ai/A per year.

9.2 Grain Sorghum
9.2.1 Preplant or Preemergence
Crops (including cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these)
Grain Sorghum
Application
Timing Rate Use Directions
Preplant
nonincorporated
and
Preemergence
Apply at the following rate
on fine and medium soil
textures only:
2.25 qt/A
Apply preemergence or preplant non-incorporated up
to 21 days before planting for weed control in sorghum
that was seed-treated with a safener that provides
tolerance to S-metolachlor (e.g., Concep® III). For a
listing of weeds controlled or partially controlled, refer
to Section 8.0.
If Lumax Flexi is applied prior to sorghum planting,
minimize disturbance of herbicide treated soil barrier
during the planting process. If treated soil is moved,
there is an increased potential for weed escapes.
Lumax Flexi may also be applied as a split application
to sorghum. For a split application program, apply ½
the use rate as a non-incorporated early pre-plant
treatment followed by a second application at one half
the use rate as a non-incorporated pre-plant or pre-
emergence application. The total amount of Lumax
Flexi applied in the split application program cannot
exceed 2.25 qt/A.
Refer to Section 4.4.5 for prior to crop emergence for
additive recommendations.
For Weed Control:
1. Refer to Section 8.0 for list of weeds controlled or partially controlled.
Tank-Mix Application Options:
1. Refer to Section 9.2.2 for tank-mix options.
Resistance Management:
1. Refer to Section 3.1.
USE PRECAUTIONS
1. Applying Lumax Flexi less than 7 days before sorghum planting will increase the risk of crop injury,
especially if irrigation or rainfall is received following application. Injury symptoms include temporary
bleaching of newly emerging sorghum leaves. Applying Lumax Flexi more than 7 days (but not more than
21 days) prior to planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
2. Off-target direct or in-direct applications of Lumax Flexi onto sorghum foliage can result in crop injury
including temporary bleaching. If crop injury does occur, newly emerging leaves following application are
typically unaffected.
USE RESTRICTIONS
1) Refer to Section 7.1 for additional product use restrictions.
2) Do not apply Lumax Flexi to sorghum that is grown on coarse textured soils (e.g., sandy loam,
loamy sand, sand).
3) Maximum Single Preemergence Application Rate: 2.25 qt/A
4) Minimum Application Interval for Split Applications: 14 days
5) Maximum Annual Rate: 2.25 qt/A/year
a. DO NOT exceed 1.68 lb ai/A/year of S-metolachlor-containing products.
b. DO NOT exceed 0.20 lb ai/A/year of mesotrione-containing products
31
6) DO NOT make more than two applications prior to crop emergence.
7) DO NOT make more than two applications per year.
8) Preharvest Interval (PHI): 75 days

TANK-MIX USE RESTRICTIONS
32
1) It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use.
Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
2) For all tank mixtures, refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions,
rates, approved uses, rotational restrictions and a list of weeds controlled. Follow the most restrictive
label.
3) When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with Lumax Flexi
to grain sorghum, do not exceed an application rate of 2.0 lb ai/A for any single application and the
total atrazine applied must not exceed 2.5 lb ai/A per year.
4) Atrazine Restrictions:
a. Apply a maximum of 2.0 lb ai/A as a single preemergence application on soils that are not
highly erodible or on highly erodible soils (as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation
Service) if at least 30% of the soil is covered with plant residues.
b. Apply a maximum of 1.6 lb ai/A as a single preemergence application on highly erodible (as
defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service) soils if <30% of the surface is
covered with plant residues; or 2.0 lb ai/A if only applied postemergence.
9.3 Sugarcane
9.3.1 Preplant, Preemergence and Postemergence
Crops (including cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these)
Sugarcane
Application
Timing Rate Use Directions
Preplant or
Preemergence
Apply at:
2.4 - 3.3 qt/A
Use the higher rate on soils
with higher organic matter
and/or for extended residual
control.
Apply by ground after planting of plant cane but
prior to crop emergence.
Application can also be made after harvest of ratoon
cane.
Refer to Section 4.4.5 for prior to crop emergence-
for additive recommendations.
Postemergence Apply at:
1.3 - 2.4 qt/A
Apply by ground as a broadcast over-the-top
application for the control of broadleaf weeds and
certain grasses. For best results, apply to actively
growing weeds.
Add either non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v or
a crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1% v/v with
postemergence applications of Lumax Flexi. Using
a crop oil concentrate will provide consistently better
weed control than NIS. In addition to NIS or COC, a
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5-17
lb/100 gallons of spray solution may also be added
to the spray solution.
For Weed Control:
1. Refer to Section 8.0 for list of weeds controlled or partially controlled.
Tank-Mix Application Options:
33
1. Refer to Section 9.3.2 for tank-mix options.
Resistance Management:
1. Refer to Section 3.1.
USE PRECAUTIONS
1. On soils with greater than 10% organic matter, Lumax Flexi residual activity can be affected resulting
in reduced weed control.
2. If irrigation or a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after a preemergence application,
weed control may be decreased. If irrigation is available, apply ½ to 1 inch of water. If irrigation is not
available, a uniform shallow cultivation is advised as soon as weeds emerge or apply an appropriately
labeled herbicide to control emerged weeds.
3. Temporary crop response (transient bleaching) from postemergence applications to sugarcane may
occur under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffering from stress. Sugarcane quickly
outgrows these effects and develops normally.
4. Postemergence application to weeds larger than specified in Section 8.0 will likely result in
incomplete control.
USE RESTRICTIONS
1) Refer to Section 7.1 for additional product use restrictions.
2) Maximum Single Preemergence Application Rate: 3.3 qt/A
3) Maximum Single Postemergence Application Rate: 2.4 qt/A
4) DO NOT make more than two applications of Lumax Flexi per year.
5) If a preemergence application of a mesotrione-containing product was made earlier in the season,
only one postemergence application of Lumax Flexi can be made.
6) If a preemergence application was made earlier in the season, not exceeding 3.3 qt/A, only 1.3
qt/A may be applied postemergence.
7) The total amount of Lumax Flexi applied (preemergence + postemergence) cannot exceed 4.6 qt/A
8) Minimum Application Interval for Split Applications: 14 days
9) Maximum Annual Rate: 4.6 qt/A/year
a. DO NOT exceed 3.34 lb ai/A/year of S-metolachlor-containing products.
b. DO NOT exceed 0.334 lb ai/A/year of mesotrione-containing products.
10) Preharvest Interval (PHI):
