GENERAL INFORMATION PURSUIT/dimethenamid is a selective herbicide for control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in soybeans and IMI-Corn. PURSUlT/dimethenamid kills weeds by root and/or foliage uptake and rapid translocation to thc growing points. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum PURSUIT/dimethenamid activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, PURSUIT/dimethenamid will provide residual control of susceptible gcnninating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil. Apply PURSUIT/dimethenamid herbicide on soyheans or on selected liek! corn hybrids (IMI-Corn) warranted by the sec(1 company to possess resistance/tolerance to direct application of PURSUIT herbiCide. DO NOT apply PURSUIT/wmethenamid to corn hybrids which lack genetiC resistanccltolerance to PURSUIT herbicide. Contact your seed supplier, chemical dealer or American Cyanamid to obtain information regarding 1M I-Corn hybrids. PURSUIT/dimethenamid herbicide can be applied preplant incorporated, preplant, preemergence or early postemergence to IMI-Corn hybrids up to X" tall. PURSUIT/dimethenamid can be applied preplant incorporated, preplan, or carly postcmergence to soybeans up to the third trifoliate stage. PURSUIT/dimethenamill provides effective wee(t control in conventional and reduc<:d tillage (conservation tillage, minimuIll tillage), and no·till systems. 'nlis product will provide most effective weed control when applied (by groumt or aerial application) ]!l([ subsequently incorporated into the SOlI hy rainfall, sprinkler iITigatinn. or mechanical tillage prior to weed sce(1l ing emergence from soil. ) Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions can exhibit v.mous injury symptoms which may be more pronounced if hcrhicides are used. Corn plants treated with PURSUIT/dimethenamid may cxhihit yellowing on new growth. Normal growth and appearance should resumc \ViUlin I to 2 weeks. Occasionally, soybean intcrmxle shortening may occur following PURSUIT/diIllelhcnamid application,. TIlesc cffccts occur infrcquently and are temporary. Normal growth and appearance ~houlll resume within 1 to 2 weeks. If extreme conditions of high rainfall and extended peri OtIs of water saturated soil occur during soyhean germination or early seedling developmcnt, PURSUIT/(IimeUlenamid use may result in temporary growth suppression. These cffects will not affect crop yields. Usc of P'\ TRSlJlT/dimctlienamitl herhicitle in accordance WiUl label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, v.mous environmental and agronomic factors make it impossihle to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop inJury is always possible.
Following Ole use of this product ami chemicnlly relnted prOOllcts with the snme m(xle of action, naturally uccUiTing hi()types· of some of the wec(1s listed on this lal'd cannot he controlled hy this and related products. 'I1lis product should he tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered hcrhicide having a different mode of action to ensure control of resistant hiotypes. • A weed biotype is ~l naturally occurring individual within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinct, genetic makeup from other individuals. Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with PURSUIT/dimethcnamid, the field may be replanted to soyheans or IMI-Corn. Rework the soil no deeper than the treated zone. Do not apply a second treatment of PURSUITldimethenamid. USE RATE (1 PINT PER ACRE) Apply I'URSUIT/dimetllenamid herbicide at a broadcast rate of I pint per acre for all methods of \ application: pn:plallt incorporated, preplant surface, preemergence or early postcmergence (up to g" tall , corn; up to tile third trifoliate stage of soybean). At this broadcast rate, one gallon of PURSUlT/dimethenarnid will treat 8 acres of soybeans or IMJ-Corn.

Maintain agitation while spl:lying to ensure a lIIli/(>nn spray mixture. ('ostemergence Applications of ('URSUIT/dimethenamid require the addition of an adjuvant and a liqaid fertilizer solution. I. ADJUVANTS SlJRFACTANTS: Use a non-ionic surfact:mt containing at least 80% active ingredient Apply the surfactant at the ratc of I quart per 100 gallons. An organa-silicone surfacl<'lTIt may be used in place of a non-ionic surfactant. OR CROP OIL CONCENTRATE: Instead of a surfactant, a petroleum or vegetable seed hased <';1 concentrate (such as SUN-IT HTM) may be used. SUN-IT II is recommended when weeds arc under moisture or temperature stress. Use SUN-IT II or other methylated seed oils at the ratc of 1.5 to 2 pints per acre (use the higher mte when weeds arc at the maximum label size). or use a crop oil concentrate at 2 pints per acre. AND II. LIQUID FERTILIZER SOLUTION Recommended mtrogen based fertilizers include liquid fertilizers (such as 28%N. 32'YoN or ()-34-0) at the rate of 1-2 quarts per acre Use the higher rate when weeds arc under moisture or temperature stress. Instead of a liquiJ feltilizer. spray grade ammonium sulfate may be used at the rate of 2':; lb. per acre. Tank-Mix Combinations With Other Herbicides When tank-mixing PURSUIT/dimethenamid with recommended herbicides, add the other herbicides :md adjuy,mts in the following order while agitating.

AI'I'LICATION INFORMATION SOIL AI'I'LICATIONS PURSlJlT/dimethenamid provides effective weed control in conser ,e systems designed to meet conservation compliance requirements. PURSUIT/dimethcnalTIl'lpplied prior to planting (up to 30 days prior to planting) or at planting in conventional, mi' um till or no-till production systems. PURSUIT/dimetJlenamid can be applied as an early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment in soybeans and IMI-Com. The application method of choice will depend on the anticipated weed spectmm and the preference of the applicator. Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. Rainfall or overhead irrigation is necessary to move PURSUIT/dimcthenamid into the weed germination zone if incorporation equipment is not used. TIle amount of rainfall or in'igation required following application depends on existing soil moisture, soil texture and organic matter content. Sufficient water to moisten the soil to a depth of 2 inches is nomlally adequate. If adequate moisture is not received within '7 days after treatment, a cultivation is recommended to control escaped weeds. When adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, PURS UIT/dimcthenamid will provide residual control of susceptible genninating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil. In earlv preplant applications (15-30 days prior to planting) or on fine textured soils or soils with greater than 3'Yo organic matter or in areas where average annual rainfall ( or rainfall + irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches. the grower lIIay tank-lIIix with Frontier T" herbicide (up to 12 ounces). A bumdown tank-mix partner such as RoundupTM or Gmmoxone Extra™ may be used when we~ds are present at the time of application prior to crop emergence Refer to the respective labels for rates, methods of application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions, and precautions. PURSUlT/dimethen:unid controls weeds by uptake by weed roots and translocation to the growing points "Ill'll' it stops wee'.! growth. Susceptible weeds may emerge. growth \ill stop Clnd the weeds will either die or are not competitive with the crop Preplant Incorporated Applications ) Apply PURSlJlT/dimethenanlid and incorporate thoroughly to a depth of I to 2 inches. Use a harrow, field cultivator, rolling cultivator. finishing disk. or other implement capablc of giving unifonn shallow IIlcorporation. If crops arc planted on beds. apply and incorporate after bed fonnation using PTO-driven equipment or a rolling cultivator When applied to beds. maintain PlJRSUIT/dimethenanlid in the ,urface I to 2 inches of the finished beds.

Broadcast apply PURSUIT/diIllethenamill to the soil surface after planting amI het()rc crop emergence.
Rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or shallow mechanical incoqXlration after application is required to move this
rnxluct into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. If adequate rainfall or inigation dnes not
occur anti weed s(etlling emergence begins, a shaBow cultivation or rotary hoeing will improve
pcrfonllancc.
NO-TILL OR REDUCED TILLAGE
For use in minimum tillage or no-tillage production, application of PURSUIT/dimethenamid may be made up to
30 days prior to planting, during or after planting. To ensure thorough coverage, use a minimum of 20 gallons
of water per acre. Use higher gallonage for fields with dense vegetation or heavy crop residues. Adjust the
hoom height to ensure proper coverage of weed foliage (according to the manufactures recommendation). The
nozzle spacing on the hoom should be 20 inches. Use only standard flat-fan nozzle tips. Use ground equipment
only.
In early preplant applications (15-30 days prior to planting) or on fine textured soils or soils with greater than
3'70 organic matter or in arcas where average annual rainfall ( or rainfall + irrigation) typically exceeds 40
inches, the grower may tank-mix with Frontier™ (ur> to 12 ounces). A burndown tank-mix partner such as
RounllupTM or Gramoxone Extra™ may be used when weeds are present at the time of application prior to crop
emergence. Refer to the respective labels for rates, methods of application, proper timing, wee(l controlled,
restrictions, and precautions. Use ground equipment only.
EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
PURSUIT/dimethenamitl is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage as well as in conventional
pmduction systems. Apply PURSUITlclimethenamid herbicide to IMI-corn up to 8" tall and/or to soybeans
up to the third trifoliate stage. Apply PURSUIT/climethenamic before weeds exceed a height of 3", unless
othclwisc indicated (sec Weed Control Tahles). Apply I'URSUIT/dimcthcnamid to crops anti weeds that
arL' actively glowing.
An adjuvant (either a surfactant or a crop oil concentrate) and a liquid fertilil.er must he atldc(j to the spray
s)lutlun It)!" optilllulli weed ()ntml activity. See the ADDITIVE section under MIXIN(i INSTRUCTIONS
for specitic instmctions.
When PURSUIT/tlimcthenamid is applictl postemcrgence, ahsorption will occur through hoth the ronts al;11
fOliage. Suscertihlc wectls stop growing allll either tlie or are not competitive with thc crop.
I'URSUIT/tlimcthenamid nnt only controls many existing bl'( dleaf amI grass wC(ls when applictl early
rostcmcrgencc, it also provides control of susceptihle weeds til' lIlay emerge ~ftcr application.
"or maximum weet! control, cultivate 7 - 10 days It)lIowing a postemergence PlJRSUlT/dimethenamid
application. '1l1is timely cultivation will enhance residual wee'! control, especially under dry conditions.
If air temperatures reach or stay helow 40° for 10 or more hours, delay a PURSUlT/tlimethenarnid
application for 4X hours from the time temperatures increase aoove 40° or until weeds are actively
growing. Unusually cool temperatures (4()0 or less) reduce photosynthesis and transpiration. 'lllis reduces
the uptake and translocation (and effecti veness) of PURSlJlT/dimethenamid in weeds.
I'URSlJITltlimctllcnamid should he applied a minilTlum of one hour before rainfall or overhead ilTigation.

injnry to sensitive vari'.:ties.
Usc of PURSUIT/dimethen;unid herbicide in accordance with bbe! directions is expected to result in
nonnal growth of rotational crops in most sitdations, however, various environmental ;md agronomic
t1ctors make it impossible to eliminate all ris:':s associated with the usc of this product and, therefore,
rotational crop injury is always possible.
