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

Dear Mr. Marchione:
|
||
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. This approval
|
||
does not affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to
|
||
be subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you
|
||
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c),
|
||
you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months from
|
||
the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this
|
||
new revised labeling or subse quently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under
|
||
FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the Agency. If
|
||
the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or
|
||
distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list s examples of statements
|
||
EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced

||
EPA Reg. No. 352-773
|
||
Decision No. 479274
|
||
|
||
on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims
|
||
approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to
|
||
our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing
|
||
from the EPA approved registration, the webs ite will be referred to the EPA’ s Office of
|
||
Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with
|
||
FIFRA section 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 washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
DO NOT apply where/when conditions could favor runoff.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Nicosulfuron is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label
|
||
use. 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 surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly
|
||
draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for
|
||
reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained
|
||
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as
|
||
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of this product from runoff water and
|
||
sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
|
||
is expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
|
||
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion
|
||
usually have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other
|
||
factors which can affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing
|
||
winds, vegetative cover, site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if
|
||
prevailing local conditions may be expected to result in off-site movement.
|
||
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Accent Q herbicide is a water-dispersible granule used at a rate of 0.45 - 1.8 ounces (0.015 - 0.061 lb ai)
|
||
per acre for selective postemergence grass weed control in field corn grown for grain, seed or silage,
|
||
popcorn and sweet corn.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q can be tank mixed with a variety of herbicides to improve burndown and for residual control.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q provides weed control via foliar absorption. Accent Q only controls those weeds that have
|
||
emerged. For later-emerging weeds, a second application or a timely cultivation is required.
|
||
|
||
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
|
||
Accent Q provides best results when applied to young, actively growing weeds. Applications made during
|
||
warm, moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture both before and after application
|
||
maximizes performance.
|
||
|
||
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing
|
||
conditions before and after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection.
|
||
|
||
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that are under stress may result in incomplete
|
||
control. Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under stress from:
|
||
abnormally hot or cold weather
|
||
environmental conditions including drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage or frost
|
||
disease, insect or nematode injury
|
||
prior herbicide or carryover from a previous year’s herbicide application
|
||
|
||
Severe stress from conditions preceding or immediately following application may also result in crop injury
|
||
or poor weed control. Stress affects all weeds, but especially weeds including woolly cupgrass, green and
|
||
yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet. If the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay application until
|
||
stress passes and both weeds and corn resume active growth.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds, reducing weed competition within as little as 6
|
||
hours after application. Susceptible plants are controlled in 7–21 days.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q is rainfast in 4 hours.

|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 12
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
DO NOT contaminate any body of water.
|
||
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with
|
||
corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods and soil type.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be applied to corn previously treated with chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin, tebupirimphos +
|
||
cyfluthrin, tefluthrin insecticides or other non-organophosphate soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of Accent Q if there is a prolonged period of cold weather
|
||
and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
|
||
|
||
Dry, dusty field conditions may result in reduced control in wheel track areas.
|
||
|
||
Prevent drift or spray onto desirable plants.
|
||
|
||
Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use (See Sprayer Cleanup section of this
|
||
label).
|
||
|
||
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens.
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Accent Q contains nicosulfuron and is a Group 2 herbicide based on the mode of action classification of
|
||
the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally
|
||
resistant to nicosulfuron and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed
|
||
population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management
|
||
strategies must be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
Rotate the use of nicosulfuron or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
|
||
among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
Use burndown herbicides, soil-applied herbicides, and sequential applications utilizing other
|
||
modes of action.
|
||
Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where
|
||
information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone
|
||
partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone
|
||
partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to
|
||
which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and
|
||
uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or
|
||
other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer
|
||
application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive
|
||
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
Apply full rates of this product for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified size
|
||
(ideally 4 inches or less).
|
||
Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other herbicides modes of action as a
|
||
foundation for an effective weed control program.
|
||
Scout before and after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of
|
||
resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 13
|
||
|
||
1. failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
2. a spreading patch of non-controlled pl ants of a particular weed species;
|
||
3. surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is
|
||
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide
|
||
from a different group or by a mechanical method including hoeing or tillage. Prevent
|
||
movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage
|
||
equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||
|
||
If a weed pest population continues to progress or resistance is suspected after treatment with
|
||
this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or
|
||
herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide
|
||
resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific
|
||
crops and weed biotypes.
|
||
|
||
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Corteva Agriscience, LLC at 800-258-
|
||
3033.
|
||
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include
|
||
biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and
|
||
practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||
monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult
|
||
your state cooperative extension service, professional consultant or other qualified authorities to
|
||
determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest / crop systems in your
|
||
area.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greate
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
For applications prior to the emergence of crop s and target weeds, applicators are required to use a
|
||
Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicat ors are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wi ngspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
Applicators must use one-half swath displacem ent upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
|
||
ground or crop canopy.
|
||
For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a
|
||
Coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
For all other applications, applicators are require d to use a Medium or coarser droplet size
|
||
(ASABE S572.1).
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY
|
||
NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target
|
||
pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use
|
||
the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider
|
||
using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For
|
||
ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT release
|
||
spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary
|
||
for pilot safety.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that
|
||
the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The
|
||
presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source
|
||
or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind pa tterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 15
|
||
|
||
used, read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If
|
||
using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will
|
||
function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the
|
||
Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA).
|
||
|
||
FIELD CORN GROWN FOR GRAIN OR SILAGE
|
||
|
||
Timing to Crop
|
||
|
||
Accent Q is registered for use on field corn, high lysine, waxy, white or other food grade corn hybrids.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be broadcast to corn up to 20" tall (free standing) or that is exhibiting up to and including 6
|
||
leaf collars (V6), whichever is more restrictive.
|
||
|
||
While Accent Q has a wide application window, research has shown best results are obtained when
|
||
applications are made early postemergence when corn and weeds are small. Target applications to corn
|
||
that is less than 12” tall for best overall performance.
|
||
|
||
Timing to Weeds
|
||
|
||
Apply Accent Q when grasses are young and actively growing, but before they exceed the sizes indicated
|
||
in “Weeds Controlled” table with 0.9 ounces (0.031 lb ai) Accent Q per acre. Treat heavy infestations of
|
||
weeds before they become too competitive with the crop, especially where soil moisture and/or fertility
|
||
are limited. Accent Q provides weed control via foliar absorption. Accent Q only controls those weeds that
|
||
have emerged. For later-emerging weeds, a second application or a timely cultivation is required.
|
||
Applications made to weeds larger than the size indicated on this label or to weeds under stress may
|
||
result in unsatisfactory control. Refer to LATE APPLICATIONS.
|
||
|
||
On glyphosate-resistant corn, glyphosate products, including ABUNDIT
|
||
® Edge, may be applied with
|
||
Accent Q after weeds emerge but before they reach the maximum size listed on the glyphosate herbicide
|
||
label.
|
||
|
||
On glufosinate-resistant corn, glufosinate products may be applied with Accent Q after weeds emerge but
|
||
before they reach the maximum size listed on the glufosinate herbicide label.
|
||
|
||
LATE APPLICATIONS IN FIELD CORN GROWN FOR GRAIN OR SILAGE
|
||
Accent Q may be applied to field corn as a directed postemergence application on corn that is taller than
|
||
20” or which has more than 6 collars (whichever occurs first).
|
||
For corn 20” to 36” tall, apply Accent Q with drop nozzles only and avoid spraying into the whorl
|
||
of cornstalks.
|
||
DO NOT apply to corn that is taller than 36" or that exhibits 10 or more collars (V10), whichever is
|
||
most restrictive.
|
||
|
||
Applications made to weeds larger than those listed on this label may vary from complete control to
|
||
suppression. Level of control will depend on the weed species, stage of growth, and environmental
|
||
conditions.
|
||
|
||
Choices must be made between the risks that arise from applications made beyond the proper time for
|
||
Accent Q use and the effects of season long grass competition and/or harvest complications. These
|
||
choices must balance risks from improperly timed Accent Q use that include, but are not limited to:
|
||
Yield loss due to competition: Research indica tes competition from foxtail exceeding 4 inches in
|
||
height may reduce corn yields. Applications to foxtail and other annual grasses that exceed the sizes
|
||
stated on the label increases the risk of yield loss due to prolonged competition with the crop even
|
||
though control may be acceptable.
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 16
|
||
|
||
Incomplete control of grasses beyond labeled size : Applications to grasses that exceed the labeled
|
||
sizes can result in reduced control. This incomplete control may reduce corn yield.
|
||
Incomplete grass control due to herbicide stress: Grasses under stress from previous herbicide
|
||
applications may not be actively growing and susceptible to Accent Q.
|
||
Ear malformation: Applications of Accent Q on corn that has 7 to 10 collars (V7 to V10) increases the
|
||
potential for ear malformation (pinching). This risk may be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, by
|
||
using drop nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply Accent Q into the corn whorl.
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION RATE
|
||
|
||
Optimum control of the weeds listed can be achieved with 0.9 ounces (0.031 lb ai) of Accent Q. Weeds
|
||
that exceed the listed weed sizes by up to 50% may be partially controlled with rates between 0.9 and 1.8
|
||
ounces (0.031 and 0.061 lb ai) of Accent Q per acre.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be applied at 0.45 - 0.9 ounces (0.015 – 0.031 lb ai) for limited control of certain small
|
||
grass weeds. See the table for reduced rates under ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS for details.
|
||
|
||
As weeds mature, their sensitivity to Accent Q decreases. As grassy weeds become mature (more than 3
|
||
tillers), they may not reach the size listed below, due to drought or other environmental factors. Treat
|
||
grassy weeds that are maturing rapidly before they reach the stages listed below.
|
||
|
||
When applied as directed, Accent Q will control the following weeds:
|
||

POPCORN, FIELD CORN GROWN FOR SEED AND SWEET CORN
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be broadcast or applied with drop nozzles to popcorn or field corn grown for seed that is
|
||
less than 20" tall (free-standing) or that exhibits up to and including 5 leaf-collars (V5), whichever is most
|
||
restrictive. DO NOT apply to corn that is taller than 20" or that exhibits more than 5 leaf-collars (V5),
|
||
whichever is more restrictive.
|
||
|
||
Many seed companies have tested seed corn inbreds or yellow popcorn hybrids for sensitivity to Accent
|
||
Q and have reported excellent safety. DO NOT apply Accent Q to any white popcorn inbred, or white
|
||
popcorn hybrid unless specifically approved by the seed company. This includes “White Dynamite”
|
||
popcorn.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be applied to certain sweet corn hybrids grown for fresh markets or under contract for
|
||
processing. Applications of Accent Q may be applied broadcast or with drop nozzles (post-directed) on
|
||
sweet corn up to 12 inches tall or up to and including 5 leaf-collars (V5). For sweet corn 12 - 18 inches
|
||
tall, apply only with drop nozzles. DO NOT apply to sweet corn taller than 18 inches or those which
|
||
exhibit 6 or more leaf- collars (V6) and make only one application of Accent Q per year.
|
||
|
||
Sweet corn hybrid sensitivity to Accent Q is highly variable, and not all hybrids have been tested for crop
|
||
safety.
|
||
|
||
Not all seed corn inbreds, popcorn or sweet corn hybrids have been tested, nor does Corteva Agriscience
|
||
have access to all seed company data. Consequently, to the extent consistent with the law, Corteva
|
||
Agriscience is not responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of Accent Q on field corn grown for
|
||
seed, popcorn or sweet corn. When tank mixing, check the tank mix partner label for uses and
|
||
instructions for use.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
|
||
Applications of Accent Q must include either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition,
|
||
an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling.
|
||
Crop oil concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvant system for activity on
|
||
difficult to control species including woolly cupgrass, quackgrass, sandbur and wirestem muhly. Consult
|
||
local company fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies prior to using other adjuvant systems.
|
||
If another herbicide is tank mixed with
|
||
Accent Q, select adjuvants authorized for use with both products.
|
||
Products must contain only EPA-exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read

|
||
|
||
For Additional Control of Later Emerging Grasses
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be tank mixed with preemergence grass herbicides labeled for early postemergence application
|
||
to field corn (including CINCH
|
||
®, CINCH® ATZ, CINCH® ATZ Lite, FulTime® NXT, Keystone® NXT, Keystone®
|
||
LA NXT, Resicore®, Resicore XL, SureStart® II, and Surpass® NXT) for added burndown and residual activity
|
||
on later-emerging flushes of grass.
|
||
|
||
The use of nonionic surfactant is advised in place of crop oil concentrate for tank mixtures with preemergence
|
||
grass herbicides where applications are made early postemergence to small grass weeds.
|
||
|
||
See SPRAY ADJUVANTS for adjuvant rate directions.
|
||
|
||
Tank mixes of Accent Q and preemergence grass herbicides must be broadcast applied postemergence to
|
||
field corn before the crop exceeds the heights listed on the preemergence grass herbicide label. Refer to
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY-POSTEMERGENCE and the preemergence grass herbicide label for complete
|
||
postemergence application information, rates, and restrictions. DO NOT use a tank mix partner product if its
|
||
label conflicts with this Accent Q label.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixtures with Insecticides
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be tank mixed with diamide, pyrethroid or carbamate insecticides including LANNATE
|
||
® SP
|
||
and LANNATE LV insecticides. See RESTRICTIONS and PRECAUTIONS sections for information on
|
||
use of Accent Q following a soil insecticide application. It is the pesticide user’s 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.
|
||
|
||
Other Tank Mixtures
|
||
|
||
Other than the exceptions noted, and in addition to the tank mix partners and rates indicated above, Accent Q
|
||
may be tank mixed or followed with sequential applications of other products registered for use in corn
|
||
provided:
|
||
The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method of application, adjuvants, and use restrictions
|
||
as Accent Q.
|
||
The tank mixture is not specifically prohi bited on the label of the tank mix product.
|
||
The tank mix combination is compatible as deter mined by a “jar test” described in the TANK MIX
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING section below.
|
||
|
||
To the extent consistent with applicable law, weed control and crop response with tank mixtures not
|
||
specifically advised in this label are the responsibility of the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product. It is
|
||
the pesticide user’s 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.
|
||
|
||
Tank Mixing Precaution
|
||
|
||
A corn plant’s predisposition to develop fused tissue emerging from the whorl (rattail) after the V11 stage may
|
||
increase when a product containing dicamba is applied to small corn under early stressful conditions. Be
|
||
aware of this when applying tank mixes with dicamba to small corn (V3 stage or smaller) under stressful
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 22
|
||
|
||
conditions.
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
Select a spray volume that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. If tank mixing with other
|
||
herbicides, always consult the label of the tank mix partner(s) for minimum spray volume requirements and
|
||
apply the tank mixture using a water volume advised for all products.
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the re quired amount of Accent Q.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the Accent Q is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the Accent Q is fully dispersed, main tain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
Thoroughly mix Accent Q with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. If tank mixing Accent Q with another herbicide, follow this mixing order: dry flowables and soluble
|
||
granules, followed by liquids, then oil dispersions (OD) or emulsifiable concentrates (EC). Maintain
|
||
continuous agitation.
|
||
6. As the tank is filling, add the required spray ad juvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer).
|
||
7. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settli ng will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate
|
||
before using.
|
||
8. Apply Accent Q spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
9. If Accent Q and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the Accent Q in clean
|
||
water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the
|
||
dissolution of the Accent Q.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Accent Q and other pesticides. Use a clear
|
||
glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the
|
||
mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 1/2 hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes,
|
||
sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination may
|
||
not be used.
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL ACCENT Q APPLICATIONS
|
||
|
||
Annual grasses may have more than one flush of emerging seedlings. Also, regrowth of treated annual
|
||
grasses may occur due to adverse environmental conditions following application. Perennial grasses may
|
||
regrow from underground stems or roots, depending upon environmental conditions. To control grasses under
|
||
these conditions, a sequential application of Accent Q may be necessary. The combined dosage of the
|
||
sequential applications cannot exceed 1.8 ounces (0.061 lb ai) per acre of Accent Q.
|
||
|
||
CULTIVATION
|
||
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds, or weeds that emerge after an application
|
||
of Accent Q.
|
||
|
||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7–14 days after Accent Q application or upon seeing the establishment of new
|
||
weeds.
|
||
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of Accent Q remaining in the soil. Accent Q
|
||
dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||
|
||
The amount of Accent Q which may be present in the soil depends on application rate, soil pH and organic
|
||
matter content, elapsed time since application, crop production practices, and environmental factors.
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 23
|
||
|
||
Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry weather prevails between application and
|
||
rotational crop planting. Consult your local Corteva Agriscience representative for additional guidelines.
|
||
|
||
Determine soil pH by laboratory analysis using the 1:1 soil:water suspension method on representative soil
|
||
samples taken at 0–4" depth. Soil pH varies within fields; therefore, base recropping on the highest soil pH
|
||
within each field. Consult local extension publications for advised soil sampling procedures.
|
||
|
||
Observe the following rotational intervals when using Accent Q at a maximum of 1.8 ounces (0.061 lb ai):

|
||
(0.048 lb ai) product per year. Corn treated with Accent Q must be grown to maturity and receive a minimum of 18 inches of irrigation
|
||
water before potatoes can be planted at this rotation interval. Injury to potatoes may occur if less than 18 inches of irrigation is used on the
|
||
previous corn crop. Accent Q may not be used in a tank mix or sequential application program with other ALS-inhibiting herbicides (Group
|
||

|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Many crops are highly sensitive to Accent Q. All direct or indirect contact (including spray drift) with crops other
|
||
than field corn need to be avoided (see also SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT).
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Broadcast Application
|
||
|
||
Use a minimum of 10 gallons water per acre. Under heavy weed pressure or dense crop foliage, increase
|
||
minimum spray volume to 15-25 gallons water per acre.
|
||
|
||
Ensure that equipment is set up to avoid applying an excessive rate directly over the rows and into the
|
||
corn plant whorl. This is most likely to occur when a nozzle is positioned directly above the row.
|
||
|
||
Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
|
||
Band Application
|
||
|
||
For band applications, use proportionately less spray mixture, and carefully calibrate the band applicator to not
|
||
exceed the labeled rate. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation,
|
||
distance of nozzles from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
|
||
Aerial application is not permitted in New York and California.
|
||
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a
|
||
minimum of 3 GPA.
|
||
|
||
SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
|
||
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using Accent Q and
|
||
|
||
V93 / Accent® Q / Amendment / 11-04-2024 Page 25
|
||
|
||
then properly cleaned out following application. Clean all application equipment before applying Accent Q.
|
||
Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed. If no cleanup
|
||
procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately following applications of Accent Q,
|
||
thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid subsequent crop injury.
|
||
|
||
When cleaning spray equipment before applying Accent Q, read and follow label directions for proper rinsate
|
||
disposal of the product previously sprayed.
|
||
|
||
Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
|
||
|
||
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of Accent Q,
|
||
partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to
|
||
sit overnight.
|
||
|
||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with
|
||
clean water for a minimum of 5 min.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia* (containing 3%
|
||
active) for every100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleaning solution
|
||
through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and allow to
|
||
agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning
|
||
solution, then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Repeat Step 2.
|
||
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separate ly in a bucket containing the cleaning agent and
|
||
water.
|
||
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the
|
||
hoses and boom.
|
||
* Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a tank cleaner may be used.

PRECAUTIONS
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop. Crop response varies with
|
||
corn type, insecticide used, insecticide application methods and soil type.
|
||
|
||
Accent Q may be applied to corn previously treated with chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin, tebupirimphos +
|
||
cyfluthrin, tefluthrin insecticides or other non-organophosphate soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
|
||
Crop injury may occur following an application of Accent Q if there is a prolonged period of cold weather
|
||
and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
|
||
