Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
WARNING. Causes substantial but temporary eye injury.
Harmful if swallowed. DO NOT get in eyes or on clothing.
Avoid contact with skin. Prolonged or frequently repeated
skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some
 individuals.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Shoes plus socks
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, butyl
rubber ≥ 14 mils, or nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils. Replace
gloves after 8 hours of use (either continuous or intermit-
tent). Thoroughly rinse gloves with water between
intermittent uses.
• Protective eyewear (face shield, goggles, or safety
 glasses)
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other
absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily
contaminated with this product’s concentrate. DO NOT
reuse them.
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air-
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in
the WPS.
IMPORTANT:When reduced PPE is worn because a
closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all
PPE specified above for applicators and other handlers
and have such PPE immediately available for use in an
emergency, including a spill or equipment breakdown.
Environmental Hazards
For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas
where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water
when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Groundwater Advisory. Saflufenacil has properties and
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where
the water table is shallow. Dimethenamid-P has properties
that may result in groundwater contamination. Application
in areas where soils are permeable or coarse and ground-
water is near the surface could result in groundwater
contamination.
Surface Water Advisory. This product may impact sur-
face water due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after han-
dling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using
tobacco, or using the toilet.

Note to Physician: Contains petroleum distillate. Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia.

for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater.
This product is classified as having high potential for reach-
ing surface water via runoff for several weeks after
application. A level, well-maintained buffer strip between
areas to which this product is applied and surface water
features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce
the potential loading of this chemical from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoid-
ing application when rainfall is forecast to occur within
48 hours.
Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source
contamination, DO NOT mix or load this or any other pes-
ticide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned
wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermit-
tent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes
and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly
capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to
impervious pad or dike mixing/loading areas described as
follows.
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the
pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface
water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be
maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container
or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi-
cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or
container leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that
may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not
apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mix-
ing and/or loading site. States may have in effect additional
requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational
containment.
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:
• Back-siphoning into wells
• Spills
• Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixes, or
rinsates
Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all
mixing equipment.
Movement Dissolved in Runoff or Through Soil.
DO NOT apply under conditions that favor runoff.
DO NOT apply to impervious substrates including paved
or highly compacted surfaces or frozen soils. Groundwater
contamination may occur in areas where soils are perme-
able or coarse and groundwater is near the surface. To
minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination,
carefully follow application rate specifications as affected by
soil type in the Application Instructions section of this
label. DO NOT apply if all 3 criteria exist:
1. Coarse soils classified as sand (does not include loamy
sand or sandy loam)
2. Less than 3% organic matter (as determined by soil
tests, if not known)
3. Where depth to groundwater is 30 feet or less
Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil. DO NOT
apply or incorporate this product by flood or furrow irriga-
tion. Ensure treated areas have received at least 1/2 inch of
rainfall before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of
other fields.

Product Information
Verdict® herbicide is a selective residual preemergence
herbicide for controlling most annual grass weeds, annual
broadleaf weeds, and sedges in field corn, popcorn, pro-
cessing sweet corn, grain sorghum, and soybean (refer to
Table 1 for a list of weeds controlled preemergence).
Residual preemergence application of Verdict must be
activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation
before weed seedling emergence. When Verdict is not
activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation
may be needed to control weed escapes.
Verdict also provides contact burndown of many broadleaf
weeds (refer to Table 2 for a list of weeds controlled by a
burndown application). An adjuvant (refer to Additives
section for details) is required with Verdict for optimum
broadleaf burndown activity. Burndown application of
Verdict should be made when broadleaf weeds are small
and actively growing. Burndown activity may be slowed or
reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather con-
ditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other
stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations
and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use a higher application
rate within an application rate range and/or higher spray
volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees) may
improve penetration of denser weed canopies.
Tank mixes with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone,
paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Verdict.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued)
Container Handling (continued)
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining
 contents into application equipment or mix tank and con-
tinue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
Hold container upside down over application equipment
or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal.
Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container
and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain
for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide
only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose.
Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the
responsibility of the person disposing of the container.
Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller.
Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before
final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this
container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the
container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or
recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or
pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec-
tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more
times.
When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all
openings that have been opened during use; return the
container to the point of purchase or to a designated
location. This container must only be refilled with a pesti-
cide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage
including cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn out threads
and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and
before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is
damaged or leaking. If the container is damaged, or leak-
ing, or obsolete and not returned to the point of purchase
or to a designated location, triple rinse emptied container
and offer for recycling, if available, or dispose of container
in compliance with state and local regulations.

 saflufenacil, a potent inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen-
oxidase belonging to herbicide mode-of-action
Group 14 (WSSA)/Group E (HRAC), and dimethenamid-P ,
a chloroacetamide belonging to the herbicide
mode-of-action Group 15/Group K
3. Saflufenacil is rapidly
absorbed by roots and foliage. Following inhibition of the
 protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, plant death is the result of
membrane damage. Under active growing conditions, sus-
ceptible emerging weed seedlings usually develop chlorotic
and necrotic injury symptoms within hours and die within a
few days. Susceptible germinating weed seeds usually die
as they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence.
Dimethenamid-P is a root-and-shoot inhibitor that controls
susceptible weed seedlings before or soon after they
emerge from the soil.
Herbicide Resistance Management
While weed resistance to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase -
inhibiting herbicides is relatively infrequent, populations of
resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance manage-
ment 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. Consult your local BASF representative, state
cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or
other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if
you suspect resistant weeds. Herbicide resistance manage-
ment practices should be considered and include:
Chemical Control
1. Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi-
cide program.
2. DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for
weed control.
3. Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage
specifications.
4. Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of
action more than twice a season.
5. Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other
herbicides possessing different sites of action that are
also effective on the target weeds.
6. Use crop rotation so crop competition, tillage, or herbi-
cides with alternative modes of action can be used to
control weed escapes. 
Scouting and Containment
1. Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas
where weed control was ineffective.
2. 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
reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
3. Contact your Verdict supplier and/or your local BASF
representative to report weed escapes.
4. Clean equipment before moving to a different field to
avoid spread of resistant weeds.
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies
to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one
or more herbicides is recommended.
Crop Tolerance
Field corn, popcorn, processing sweet corn,
grain sorghum, and soybean are tolerant to Verdict when
applied according to label directions as a preplant to
 preemergence treatment and under normal environmental
conditions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing
conditions (e.g. low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme
hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high
soil salt concentration, or drought).
Severe crop injury will result if Verdict is applied
 postemergence (over the top) to corn, sorghum, or
 soybean.
Application Instructions
Verdict may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorpo-
rated, or preemergence to field corn, popcorn, processing
sweet corn, grain sorghum, and soybean. Apply Verdict
only before crop emergence.
Rainfastness - Verdict is rainfast 1 hour after application.
Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation
occurs within 1 hour of application.
Application Rate
Application rates of Verdict for residual preemergence
weed control may vary depending on soil texture and
organic matter. Refer to Table 3 for soil texture groups
used in this label.
Table 3. Soil Texture Groups
Refer to the Crop-specific Information section for spe-
cific application directions and the restrictions and
precautions by crop use and pattern.
Application Methods and Equipment
Verdict may be applied by ground or air. Thorough spray
coverage is important for optimum weed control and can
be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray vol-
ume selection.
Use and configure application equipment to provide an
adequate spray volume, an accurate and uniform distribu-
tion of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid
spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust equipment to main-
tain continuous agitation during spraying with good
mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that
increase rates above the use rates specified in this label.

Verdict® herbicide may be applied using water or
sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray car-
rier. Additionally, Verdict may be impregnated on and
applied with dry bulk fertilizer.
Aerial Application Requirements
Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre.
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial
 applications: 
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or
90% of rotor blade diameter.
2. Use low-drift nozzles (straight-stream nozzles, D-8 or
larger). DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet
spray.
3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
airstream and never be pointed downward more than
45 degrees.
4. Without compromising aircraft safety, application must
be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop
canopy or tallest plants.
5. DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversions
or stable atmospheric conditions.
6. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
maintaining a 120-feet 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 3 or more gallons of water
per acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid fertilizer
per acre. Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is
essential for burndown applications and higher spray vol-
umes may be necessary for better performance.
Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the
potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground
applications: 
1. Apply this product using nozzles that deliver medium-
to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASAE
standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s
catalogs. Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burn-
down applications while flood-jet type nozzles are
recommended for residual soil surface applications.
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 nontar-
get areas). DO NOT apply during periods of temperature
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
3. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by
maintaining a 60-feet 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)
Verdict may be impregnated or coated onto dry bulk gran-
ular fertilizer carriers for residual soil surface application.
Impregnation or coating may be conducted 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 Verdict
may clog air tubes or deflector plates on pneumatic appli-
cation systems. Mineral oil may be added to Verdict
before blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging. DO NOT
use drying agents when mineral oil is used. To avoid sepa-
ration of Verdict and mineral oil mixes in cold
temperatures, keep mixture heated or agitated before
blending with fertilizer. Mineral oil may be used at 
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 for Verdict across the
soil surface. Apply uniformly to the soil to prevent possible
crop injury and offer satisfactory weed control. Impregnat -
ed fertilizer spread at 1/2 rate and overlapped for a full rate
offer a more uniform distribution. Use shallow (less than
2 inches) incorporation for improved weed control. Deeper
incorporation dilutes the herbicide layer near the soil sur-
face and may result in unsatisfactory weed control.
To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertilizer
applications:
Chemigation Application via Sprinkler
Irrigation Systems
Verdict may be applied as a chemigation treatment
through sprinkler irrigation systems. Apply this product
ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation system of the following
type: center pivot, end tow, hand move, lateral move,
side (wheel) roll, or solid set. DO NOT apply this product
through any other type of sprinkler irrigation system.
Application may be made alone or in tank mixes with other
herbicides on this label registered for use in specified sprin-
kler irrigation systems. Application must be made within
specific crop stage timings and product use rates given in
the container directions for use label.

Uniform distribution of Verdict® herbicide-treated irrigation
water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is
required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide
effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. For
calibration questions, contact State Extension Service spe-
cialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
Proper calibration is the responsibility of the applicator. The
system must be calibrated (with water only) to ensure the
amount of Verdict applied corresponds to the specified
rate. Apply Verdict in volume minimums of 0.33 to
0.67 inches of water using the lower volume for coarse-
texture soils and the higher volume for fine-texture soils.
Applications made in high volumes of water (more than
1 inch) may result in reduced weed control. 
Meter herbicide dilution into irrigation water through the
entire time of water application for center pivot and lateral
move systems. For solid-set and hand-move irrigation
 systems, apply Verdict through the system at the begin-
ning of the set; then follow with additional water to reach
volume minimums as listed by soil type. To increase cali-
bration accuracy of injection metering equipment, dilute
Verdict in a minimum of 3 parts water to 1 part Verdict.
Maintain agitation in injection nurse tanks to keep a uniform
herbicide suspension during application.
Restrictions for chemigation:
1. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the
area intended for treatment.
2. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide
application to a public water system unless the pesticide
label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of
the responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
4. Tail water (runoff water) from chemigation that contains
Verdict must be recirculated and/or contained in the
field in a cistern or holding reservoir from the initial appli-
cation and/or used only on adjacent, approved crops for
which Verdict is registered for this type of application.
5. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-
al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must also
contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump
and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down.
6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a func-
tional check valve, vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure
drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to
prevent water-source contamination from backflow. In
addition, systems must use a metering pump, like a
positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted
with a system interlock.
7. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain function-
al interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor
stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesti-
cide distribution is adversely affected.
8. The irrigation line or water pump must include a
functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point
where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Chemigation systems connected to public water
 systems:
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to
the public of piped water for human consumption if such
system has at least 15 service connections or regularly
serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least
60 days out of the year.
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water
systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure
zone backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equiva-
lent in the water supply line upstream from the point of
pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the
water from the public water system should be
discharged into a reservoir tank before pesticide intro-
duction. There shall be a complete physical break (air
gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top
or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the
inside diameter of the fill pipe.
3. All chemigation systems connected to public water sys-
tems must also follow restrictions listed in the preceding
section.
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 Management
It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at
the application site, especially onto nontarget areas. The
interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica-
tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions. 
The applicator must be familiar with and take into account
the information covered in the following spray drift reduc-
tion advisory information. 
Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to
reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that
provide sufficient coverage and control.
Volume. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s
specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure
produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are
12

needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing
 pressure.
Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of nozzles
that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type designed for the intended
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
produce larger droplets.
Swath Adjustment. When applications are made with a
crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind.
Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field,
the applicator must compensate for this displacement by
adjusting the path of the application equipment
(e.g. aircraft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance
should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind,
smaller droplets, etc.).
Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 to
10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment type, determine drift potential at any given
speed. If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the
applicator must determine if:
1. Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or
2. Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle
height.
DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature
inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. 
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Wind Erosion. Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy
soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under
these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
rainfall or irrigation.
Additives
For optimum burndown activity with Verdict® herbicide,
an adjuvant system must be used that includes the
 following:
1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methylated seed oil.
Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than
60% methylated seed oil.
2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (less than
12.5 gallons/A) aerial or ground applications.
When fluid fertilizer is used as the spray carrier, add
1 pint/A of MSO for optimum burndown activity.
The use of AMS fertilizer is highly recommended when mix-
ing Verdict with glyphosate-based herbicides.
DO NOT use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for
COC or MSO, or poor performance on broadleaf weeds
will occur.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and
Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
Tank Mixing Information
Verdict may be tank mixed with one or more registered
herbicide products according to the specific tank mixing
instructions in this label and respective product labels.
Refer to the Crop-specific Information for tank mixing
details. 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 pre-
cautions 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.
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 the
Mixing Order section using 2 teaspoons for each
pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use rate
per acre.
3. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo-
nent 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.
Mixing Order
Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and applica-
tion 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.

while spraying.
Use Restrictions
• Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to Crop-specific
Information section for the maximum cumulative
amount of Verdict® herbicide per cropping season. A
cropping season is defined as the period following
 harvest of the preceding crop through the harvest of the
planned or current crop.
• If additional dimethenamid-P is applied, DO NOT apply
more than a maximum cumulative amount of 0.98 lb ai/A
dimethenamid-P per cropping season in grain sorghum,
and DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
amount of 1.125 lbs ai/A dimethenamid-P per cropping
season in field corn, popcorn, processing sweet corn,
and soybean. 
• DO NOT apply Verdict after crop emergence because
severe crop injury will occur.
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for
domestic purposes.
• Verdict is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau
and Suffolk counties in New York State.
Crop Rotation Intervals
Use the following table to determine the proper interval
between Verdict application and the planting of rotational
crops.
1 DO NOT include time when the soil is frozen.
2 Edible bean refers to blackeyed pea, crowder pea, cowpea, and
 southern pea. Use the Other Crops rotational crop planting interval for
beans not specifically listed in this table.
3 The planting interval for these crops and rates is further defined in the
respective Crop-specific Information section of this label. Use the
longer interval within listed ranges for indicated crops grown on coarse-
texture soils with organic matter less than 2.0%.
4 Cover crops (winter, spring) may be planted after application of Verdict,
either inter-seeded into the current crop before harvest or after harvest of
the current crop. Depending on the sensitivity of the sown cover crop to
Verdict, stand establishment may be reduced. If cover crops are sown
for conservation purposes less than 4 months after Verdict application,
DO NOT harvest as a food or feed crop, and DO NOT allow livestock to
graze cover crops.

Emergency Replanting Intervals
• Field corn, popcorn, sweet corn, and grain sorghum
(according to application rates in Crop-specific
Information) may be replanted immediately after crop
failure (because of environmental factors, including
drought, frost, hail, etc.).
• Soybean (according to the application rates in Crop-
specific Information) may be replanted (according to
the intervals in the chart following) after crop failure
(because of environmental factors including drought,
frost, hail, etc).
Replanting Intervals to Soybean Following Crop
Failure
• Determine the rotational crop interval for tank mix prod-
ucts and follow the most restrictive interval of all products
applied.
Crop-specific Information
This section provides directions for Verdict in specific
crops. Read product information, mixing, application,
weeds controlled, and adjuvant instructions in preceding
sections of the label. Read and follow tank mix product
labels for restrictions, precautions, instructions, and rota-
tional crop restrictions.
Depending on specific crop application directions, Verdict
may be applied for residual control of germinating weed
seedlings before planting (preplant) or after planting but
before crop emergence (preemergence) (refer to Table 1
for list of weeds controlled) or burndown control of
emerged broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds
controlled).
Thorough spray coverage is required for control of
emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or varia-
tions in weed size can prevent adequate spray coverage.
Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring 
(e.g. horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray
coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons
of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov-
erage and optimize burndown activity. 
Field Corn (grain, seed, silage), 
Popcorn, and Sweet Corn
Verdict may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorpo-
rated, or preemergence to corn. Corn in this label refers to
field corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage), popcorn, and
sweet corn (processing varieties only, not including sweet
corn grown for seed or fresh market varieties). Before
applying Verdict to seed corn, processing sweet corn, or
popcorn, verify the selectivity of Verdict on your inbred line
or hybrid with your local seed company (supplier) to help
avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids.
Application Rate
Verdict can be applied as part of a one-pass or planned
sequential (two-pass) weed control program. A one-pass
weed control program should be used where no cultivation
or postemergence herbicide application is anticipated.
One-pass application rates for Verdict when applied alone,
in tank mix, or sequentially are provided in Table 4 for field
corn and Table 5 for popcorn and processing sweet corn.
Table 4. Residual Preemergence Rates of Verdict in
Field Corn
1 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
2 Use on coarse soils with less than 1.5% organic matter may result in
crop injury.
Table 5. Residual Preemergence Rates of Verdict in
Popcorn and Processing Sweet Corn
1 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
Verdict use rates applied as the residual component of a
planned sequential (two-pass) program (see Table 6 and
Table 7) will provide control or suppression of listed weeds
(Table 1) through early-to-mid season. For full-season
weed control, apply a labeled postemergence treatment of
Status
® herbicide plus glyphosate as the sequential com-
ponent (this applies to field and popcorn, not sweet corn).

2 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
Application Timing
Fall Application
For use only in Iowa, Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin
Verdict may be applied in the fall to control weeds in con-
ventional, minimum tillage, or no-till corn production
systems planted the following spring. Apply from 20.0 to
25.0 fluid ounces of Verdict per acre to medium-texture
and fine-texture soils with more than 2.5% organic matter.
Fall applications must be made after October 1.
Broadcast surface apply Verdict in the fall after crop har-
vest when soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are
sustained at less than 55º F and before the ground freezes.
Tillage operations may be conducted before or after apply-
ing Verdict. When following an application, tillage should
be no more than 2-inches to 3-inches deep to uniformly
incorporate the herbicide into the upper soil surface. When
a sequential application program (fall application followed
by spring application of Verdict) is used, the maximum
combined rate of Verdict that may be applied is 25.0 fluid
ounces per acre per crop season.
Early Preplant Surface Application 
(15 to 30 days before planting)
Use application rates in Table 4 when making early
preplant surface applications, using the highest application
rate for a given soil texture. Early preplant surface applica-
tions are not recommended on coarse soils, in areas where
average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typically
exceeds 40 inches, or for popcorn or processing sweet
corn. Cultivation or a labeled postemergence herbicide
application may still be required under certain conditions
for complete weed control.
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 Application
(up to 14 days before planting)
Verdict can be applied at use rates specified in Table 4,
Table 5, Table 6, or Table 7 to the soil surface or incorpo-
rated up to 14 days before planting on all soil types. For
preplant incorporated applications, apply Verdict and
incorporate into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches). Use
a harrow, rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other
implement for uniform shallow incorporation. Avoid deeper
incorporation or reduced weed control may result.
Preemergence Surface Application
Apply Verdict at use rates specified in Table 4, Table 5,
Table 6, or Table 7 as a broadcast treatment to the soil
surface after planting and before crop emergence. Verdict
must be applied before crop emergence or injury will occur.
Burndown plus Residual Weed Control
In addition to residual weed control at any of the applica-
tion timings previously described, Verdict also provides
burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in Table 2.
An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for details)
is required for optimum burndown activity. Burndown con-
trol of emerged grass weeds or additional broadleaf weeds
not listed on the label requires a tank mix with another her-
bicide (like glyphosate).
Residual preemergence application rates of Verdict can
follow a fall or early preplant burndown application of

• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
amount of 0.134 lb per acre of saflufenacil from all prod-
uct sources per cropping season.
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict per cropping season.
• Corn, popcorn, or sweet corn forage and silage must not
be harvested, fed, or grazed sooner than 80 days after
 application.
• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre-
plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
application of Verdict and the harvest of field corn grain,
popcorn, seed corn, and sweet corn ears. Corn forage,
stover, and sweet corn cannery waste may be fed to live-
stock after harvest. 
Crop-specific Precautions
• Verdict application may result in delayed corn
emergence and stunting under certain environmental
conditions including cool temperatures, excessive rain-
fall/irrigation, and/or persistent 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.
• Verdict applied to processing sweet corn planted at a
depth of 1/2 inch or less may result in crop injury.
Tank Mixes
Verdict may be tank mixed* or applied sequentially with
one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide
products:
• Clarity
® herbicide
• Sharpen® herbicide
• Status® herbicide
• Zidua® herbicide
• atrazine
• glyphosate (e.g. Roundup
® herbicide)
NOTE: Refer to tank mix product labels to confirm the
respective tank mix products are registered for use on spe-
cific corn types; not all corn products are registered for use
on seed corn, popcorn, and processing sweet corn.
* Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for additional
instructions.
Fallow
Verdict may be used as a burndown treatment to control
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
Apply Verdict as a broadcast burndown spray at 5.0 to
10.0 fl ozs/A plus recommended adjuvants (refer to
Additives section for details). For best product
performance, apply Verdict when broadleaf weeds are
small and actively growing (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds
controlled). Thorough coverage of existing weeds is essen-
tial and higher spray volumes may be needed for best
 performance.
Sequential applications may be made with a minimum of
14 days between applications; DO NOT apply more than a
maximum cumulative amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict
per cropping season.
For residual weed control, Verdict may be applied at
10.0 to 25.0 fl ozs/A. 
Specific rotational crop intervals must be observed
between an application of Verdict and planting of the
 following crop (see Crop Rotation Intervals section for
crop rotation restrictions).
Tank Mixes
Broad-spectrum burndown control of grass weeds and/or
additional broadleaf weeds requires a tank mix with anoth-
er herbicide. Verdict may be tank mixed* or applied
sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the fol-
lowing herbicide products:
• Clarity
• Distinct
® herbicide
• glyphosate (e.g. Roundup)
* Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for additional

Grain Sorghum
Verdict® herbicide may be applied preplant surface, pre-
plant incorporated, or preemergence to grain sorghum. All
Verdict applications must only be made to sorghum seed
that has been properly treated by the seed company with
an approved chloroacetamide herbicide safener or severe
injury may occur.
Under high soil moisture and/or cool conditions, Verdict
application may cause temporary stunting or leaf wrapping
of grain sorghum. Grain sorghum normally outgrows these
symptoms within 10 to 14 days.
Application Rate
Application rates for Verdict in grain sorghum depend on
use pattern.
See Table 8 for application rates in grain sorghum for
Verdict when applied alone, in tank mix, or sequentially.
Table 8. Residual Rates of Verdict in Grain Sorghum
1 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
For grain sorghum grown in Nebraska and
South Dakota, see Table 9 for application rates for
Verdict when applied alone, in tank mix, or sequentially.
Table 9. Residual Rates1 of Verdict in Grain Sorghum
in Nebraska and South Dakota
1 Application rates in Table 9 eliminate early season weed interference.
Full-season weed control requires a labeled tank mix partner, sequential
postemergence herbicide application, and/or cultivation.
2 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
Application Use Rate for Tank Mix Program
For grain sorghum grown in all states, apply Verdict at
10.0 fl ozs/A in a tank mix with other dimethenamid-P-
 containing herbicides; see Table 10 for use rates.
Table 10. Use Rates for Dimethenamid-P when Tank
Mixed with Verdict in Grain Sorghum

1 Application rates in Table 10eliminate early season weed interference. 
2 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.
3 Refer to the Outlook® herbicide label for conversion of use rates to
fl ozs/A.
4 A tank mix with atrazine may also be applied. Refer to atrazine product
labels for additional details on use rates in grain sorghum. Full-season
weed control requires atrazine up to the maximum atrazine rate allowed
for the soil texture and/or field.
Application Timing
Early Preplant Surface Application
(15 to 30 days before planting)
Use application rates in Table 8, Table 9, and Table 10
when making early preplant surface applications, using the
highest application rate for a given soil texture. Early pre-
plant surface applications are not recommended on coarse
soils or in areas where average annual rainfall (or rainfall
plus irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches. Cultivation or a
labeled postemergence herbicide application may still be
required under certain conditions for complete weed
 control.
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 Application
(up to 14 days before planting)
Verdict can be applied at use rates specified in Table 8,
Table 9, and Table 10 to the soil surface or incorporated
up to 14 days before planting on all soil types. For preplant
incorporated applications, apply Verdict and incorporate
into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches). Use a harrow,
rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other implement for uni-
form shallow incorporation. Avoid deeper incorporation or
reduced weed control may result.
Preemergence Surface Application
Apply Verdict at use rates specified in Table 8, Table 9,
and Table 10 as a broadcast treatment to the soil surface
after planting and before crop emergence. Verdict must be
applied before crop emergence or injury will occur.

Burndown plus Residual Weed Control
In addition to residual weed control at any of the applica-
tion timings previously described, Verdict® herbicide also
provides burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in
Table 2. An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for
details) is required for optimum burndown activity.
Burndown control of emerged grass weeds or additional
broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix
with another herbicide (like glyphosate).
Residual preemergence application rates of Verdict can
follow a fall or early preplant burndown application of
Sharpen
® herbicide. However, DO NOT exceed the crop-
ping seasonal maximum cumulative amount of saflufenacil
per acre from all product sources. A minimum of 30 or
60 days is required between Verdict applications and
Sharpen applications (depending on Sharpen use rate;
see Sharpen product label).
Burndown Weed Control Only
Verdict can be applied at 5.0 to 10.0 fl ozs/A (all soil types)
with an adjuvant system (refer to the Additives section for
details) any time before sorghum emergence for burndown
of weeds listed in Table 2. A burndown application of
Verdict can be followed by residual rates of Verdict.
Sequential applications must be separated by at least
14 days. However, DO NOT apply more than the cropping
seasonal maximum cumulative amount per acre of
 saflufenacil from all product sources.
Crop-specific Restrictions
• DO NOT apply Verdict after grain sorghum emergence
or severe crop injury will occur.
• DO NOT apply Verdict where an at-planting application
of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticide(s) is
planned and/or has occurred or severe injury may result.
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
amount of 0.111 lb per acre of saflufenacil from all prod-
uct sources per cropping season.
• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative
amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict per cropping season.
• Verdict is not registered for use on sweet or forage
sorghum.

Soybean
Verdict may be applied in the fall and/or in the spring as a
preplant or preemergence burndown application in
conventional and reduced-till or no-till soybean for
broadleaf weed control. An adjuvant system (refer to
Additives section for details) is required for optimum burn-
down activity.
Under high soil moisture and/or cool conditions, Verdict
application may cause temporary stunting or leaf
 chlorosis/necrosis of soybean. Soybean normally outgrows
these symptoms within 10 to 14 days.
Not for use in soybean in California.
Application Rate and Timing
Fall Application
Apply Verdict at 5.0 to 10.0 fl ozs/A (0.022 to
0.044 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) for burndown broadleaf weed
control after the prior crop is harvested. For residual weed
control, Verdict may be applied up to 15.0 fl ozs/A.
Application must be made before first killing frost. Fall
application can be made to all soil types.
Spring Application
For all spring applications of Verdict, refer to Soybean
Planting Interval information for minimum planting
 intervals. 
Apply Verdict early preplant through preemergence at
5.0 fl ozs/A for burndown broadleaf weed control before
