2 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Non-Target Organism Advisory This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. Drift or runoff may adversely affect non-target plants. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organism in neighboring areas. 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 when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do not use the same spray equipment for other purposes unless thoroughly cleaned. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes. BALANCE® FLEXX Herbicide contains isoxaflutole which is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. Isoxaflutole residues can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions, isoxaflutole residues may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in runoff water) for several weeks after application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with in field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water. In fields having sands, loamy sands, and sandy loam soils, special care must should be taken not to over-irrigate since substantial over-irrigation promotes the leaching of chemicals. This pesticide is toxic to some plants at very low concentrations. Non-target plants may be adversely affected if the pesticide is allowed to drift from areas of application. Exposure to isoxaflutole residues may injure or kill susceptible plants. Symptoms of phytotoxicity as a result of exposure to isoxaflutole include whitening or chlorosis of the foliage of affected plants. Cotton is particularly susceptible to isoxaflutole; therefore, exposure of cotton to isoxaflutole residues may affect cotton yield. To prevent damage to crops and other desirable plants, read and follow all directions and precautions on this label before using. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent 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 properly diked mixing/loading areas. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal.

4 PRODUCT INFORMATION BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide: • is a selective herbicide for control of important broadleaf and grass weeds infesting field corn, seed corn and corn grown for silage. • is formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC) containing 2 pounds isoxaflutole active ingredient per gallon. Contains the active ingredient isoxaflutole which is an HPPD inhibitor mode of action that controls weeds by inhibiting enzymes that are essential to the protection of chlorophyll in plant leaves. • is effective in controlling glyphosate-, triazine-, PPO-, ALS- and auxin- herbicide resistant populations of weed species. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide: • may be used in either conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till crop management systems. • may be applied either preplant [surface applied or incorporated (less than 2” deep)], preemergence, or early postemergence. • will provide its most effective weed control when applied and subsequently moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence. • may be tank mixed or applied in sequential applications with other herbicides to control additional weeds. • may be applied using either water carrier or sprayable grade fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier. • may be applied by ground application only. Aerial application is not permitted. • may be applied as either a broadcast spray or as a band application. NOTE: Thoroughly mix contents before use and application. Recirculate or mix the product for at least 5 minutes prior to each use. For large containers, 15 gallons containers or more, mix the product with the built-in mixer for 5-10 minutes before each use. Refer to the SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS section of this label for additional application information specific from each registered use of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. Ground Application (Banding) Banding herbicide application equipment must be carefully calibrated to prevent crop exposure to concentrations of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide that exceed the labeled rate for the soil type. It is critical to insure that the calibrated band width equates to actual band width realized in field applications. Bands actually delivered at a width narrower than targeted will concentrate the product and increase the risk for crop response. Even flat spray tip nozzles and a band width of no less than 12” must be used. Apply a broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. The following equations may be used to make the required calculations as follows: band width (inches) * broadcast rate per acre = banding rate per acrerow width (inches) band width (inches) * broadcast spray volume per acre = banding spray volume per acrerow width (inches) Ground Application (Broadcast) Apply BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide either alone or in tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Keep the spray boom at the lowest possible spray height above the target surface. Refer to nozzle manufacturers specifications for proper nozzle, pressure setting, and sprayer speed for optimum product performance and minimal spray drift. Uneven application, sprayers not properly calibrated, or improper incorporation may decrease the level of weed control and/or increase the level of adverse crop response. Maintain constant ground speed while applying product to ensure proper distribution. DO NOT overlap spray patterns beyond equipment manufacturers specifications as excessive rates may result in adverse crop responses and potential stand loss. Maintain adequate agitation at all times, including momentary stops.

Refer to the specific use directions and restrictions in each specific crop section. HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is a Group 27 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide and other Group 27 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies need to be followed. To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide or other Group 27 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. • 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. • Scout before and after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (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 plants 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 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 Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

7 SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Mandatory Spray Drift Requirements DO NOT aerially apply this product. Ground Applications • Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size (ASAE S572.3). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. Boom-less Ground Applications: • Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASAE S572.3) for all applications. • 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. • 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 patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. • Boom-less Ground Applications: Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. • Handheld Technology Applications: Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

8 COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS Compatibility If BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is to be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers or other pesticides, compatibility needs to be tested prior to mixing. To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, DO NOT use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow all parts of the label of each tank-mix product. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direc tions 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. Order of Mixing BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be used with other specified pesticides, fertilizers, and micronutrients. The proper mixing procedure for BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide, with water or liquid fertilizer as a carrier:

  1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 of the required volume of water or liquid fertilizer prior to the addition of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide.
  2. Add the proper amount of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide, then add the rest of the water or liquid fertilizer to the desired level.
  3. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform spray mixture during application.
  4. If BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is applied in a tank mixture with other pesticides, add BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide to the spray tank first and ensure it is thoroughly dispersed before adding other pesticides.
  5. Continue to fill the tank with carrier to the desired volume while agitating. Continue agitation during application to ensure a uniform spray mixture. RE-SUSPENDING SC PRODUCTS IN SPRAY SOLUTION Like other suspension concentrates (SCs), BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide will settle if left standing without agitation. If the spray solution is allowed to settle for one hour or more, reagitate the spray solution for a minimum of 10 minutes before application. Equipment Cleanup Procedures To avoid injury or exposure to non-target crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment, including pumps, nozzles, lines and screens with a good quality tank cleaner, on an approved rise pad or on the field site where an approved crop is to be grown. Mix only as much cleaning solution as needed.
  6. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
  7. Use a pressure washer with a high quality commercial spray tank cleaner in water to clean the inside of the spray tank. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
  8. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
  9. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner.
  10. Repeat steps 2-4.
  11. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedures.
  12. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
  13. For cleanup, use an approved rinse pad or the field site where an approved crop is to be grown. ROTATIONAL CROPS Rotational crops vary in their crop response to low concentrations of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide remaining in the soil. The amount of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide that may be present in the soil depends on soil moisture, soil temp, application rate, elapsed time since application, and other environmental factors. When BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is used in combination with other products, always follow the most restrictive rotational crop requirements. The following rotational crops may be planted after applying BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide:

9 Crop Geography Rotational Interval (months) Minimum Precipitation Requirement1 Corn (Field) All 0 None Wheat, Triticale, Cereal and rye All 4 Soybeans, Barley, Sweet corn, Popcorn, Potato, Grain Sorghum, and Sunflower All 6 Alfalfa, Cotton, Rice All 10 15 inches of cumulative precipitation from application to planting of rotational crop.2 Sugar beets East of the Mississippi River Peanut All 11 Tobacco All 12 Sugar beets West of the Mississippi River 18 All other crops3 All 1 The amount of cumulative precipitation required before planting a rotational crop is in addition to the required rotational interval given in months. 2 Furrow or flood irrigation not to be included in total. No more than 7 inches of overhead irrigation included in total. 3 All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful bioassay after a BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section. In the event of crop failure: If the corn crop treated with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is lost, only field corn and corn grown for silage may be replanted immediately. DO NOT make an additional application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. Cover Crops Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect suppression , etc., following harvest of corn in the Fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops in fields treated with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed by livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically controlled with burndown herbicides in the spring. Many cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated for sensitivity to BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete a successful field/ home bioassay to provide an indication of the level of sensitivity to the prior BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide application. Refer to the “Field/Small Scale Bioassay” section. If used in tank mixtures with other herbicides, always follow the most restrictive label. Field/Small Scale Bioassay A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those specified in the “Rotational Crop Restrictions” section of this label. To conduct an effective field bioassay, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow the following season in a field previously treated with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. The test strip must be placed in a controlled area and include low areas and knolls, and include variations in soil including type and pH. Crop response to the bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in the areas previously treated with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide- treated field (see example above for types of soil in the sample) and place the soil into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place the container in a warm, sunny area to allow germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of the cover crop over a three to four week period. If the cover crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide-treated field must be acceptable.

10 WEEDS CONTROLLED BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide applied as directed in this label will control or suppress the weeds listed below.

The degree of weed control will vary with weed size, density, spray coverage, and/or growing conditions. SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS CORN (Field Corn, Seed Corn and Corn Grown for Silage) BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be used in either conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till crop management systems and may be applied either preplant or preplant incorporated (less than 2” deep), preemergence, or early postemergence. BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide treatments are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall is received within 14 days after application. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction, or weed germination before rain occurs, use shallow tillage including rotary hoe to lightly incorporate BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. Make certain corn seeds are below the tilled area. If treated soil is moved during tillage practices in such a way that the herbicide barrier is no longer intact, weeds may emerge from areas where treated soil has been removed. DO NOT incorporate with a drag harrow after planting.

12 Application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide at less than listed rates for the appropriate soil will only provide suppression of sensitive weeds. RESTRICTIONS FOR USE • DO NOT apply more than 6.0 fluid ounces (0.094 lbs of a.i) of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide per acre in a single application or exceed the maximum labeled rate for any given soil type. • DO NOT apply more than 6.0 fluid ounces (0.094 lbs of a.i) per acre of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide per year or exceed the maximum labeled rate for any given soil type. • DO NOT apply more than two applications of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide per acre per year at reduced rates. • DO NOT exceed from all sources 0.094 pounds per acre of isoxaflutole per year in corn. • DO NOT exceed from all sources 0.20 pounds per acre per of cyprosulfamide per year in corn. • DO NOT apply tank-mixes of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide with organophosphate or carbamate insecticides to emerged corn. Foliar applications of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticides must not be made within 7 days of an application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide or crop injury may result. • Harvest of corn forage is permitted at 45 days or more after an early postemergence treatment of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE • Planting depth: Corn seed must be planted a minimum of 1 ½ inches deep and must be completely covered with soil and furrow firmed or reduced crop stand or injury may occur. • Effect of variable soils on use rate: The proper use rate of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide is affected by several soil factors, including soil texture, organic matter, and soil pH. Soils which contain variations in one or more of these factors in a given area are termed variable soils and may be more likely to incur localized corn injury symptoms from an application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. Characteristics of localized soil variants that are more likely to incur injury are a more coarse soil texture, a lower organic matter and/or a higher pH (alkaline/calcareous soil) than other areas of the same field and include, among others, clay knolls, eroded hill sides, and terracing with scraped exposed subsoil. The user is responsible for selecting the rate of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide that is appropriate for all soils in the area of application. • Effect of adverse weather: Following an application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide, extended periods of cool/cold, wet conditions (cool/cold daytime/nighttime temperatures, saturated soil conditions, recurring rainfall events, etc.) during corn seed germination and/or early crop development period may result in temporary crop injury. Injury symptoms may appear as leaf tissue bleaching (whitening) and/or crop stunting. Corn plants usually recover from this injury without affecting yield. • Corn hybrids and certain male pollinators: Corn hybrids and certain male pollinators within blended corn varieties vary in their response to BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. Not all hybrids or male pollinators within blended corn varieties have been tested for sensitivity to BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. You need to consult with your seed provider, your local Bayer CropScience representative, and/or other knowledgeable agricultural professionals for advice on sensitivity of hybrids or varieties containing male pollinator lines before applying BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide. If the sensitivity of a hybrid or variety containing a male pollinator line is not known, you must apply BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide to a small area to first determine if the hybrid is sensitive prior to spraying large acreages of that hybrid. APPLICATION TIMING Preplant Surface-Applied BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be applied up to 21 days before planting corn. BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be applied up to 30 days prior to planting when used in a planned sequential application program including BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide followed by postemergence applied herbicides appropriate for control of the target weeds. Refer to the label of the respective sequential partner for specific use directions. Split applications of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide can be made. It is specified that 60 percent of the listed broadcast rate (refer to APPLICATION RATE table) be applied 15 to 30 days prior to planting and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Total BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide applied may not exceed the listed rate for a preplant treatment on the predominate soil type in the field. Moving treated soil out of the row or moving untreated soil to the surface during planting may result in reduced weed control.

13 Preplant Incorporated BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be applied up to 21 days before planting field corn; up to 30 days prior to planting when used in a planned sequential application program including BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide followed by postemergence applied herbicides appropriate for control of the target weeds. Refer to all parts of the respective sequential partner label for specific use directions. Apply to the soil and uniformly incorporate in the top two inches of soil before planting using a finishing disc, field cultivator or similar implement capable of providing uniform two inch incorporation. DO NOT incorporate BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide deeper than 2” or weed control may be reduced. Preplant/Preemerge Burndown When weeds are present at the time of treatment and prior to corn emergence, a tank mixture of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide with COC or MSO is advised for burndown of labeled weeds 3” or less in height. When weeds are greater than 3” in height or weeds not controlled by BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide are present, the addition of a burndown herbicide (e.g., Diflexx ® Herbicide (dicamba, EPA# 264-1173), paraquat, glyphosate, or 2,4-D) is advised. If giant ragweed, common cocklebur, henbit, Pennsylvania smartweed, or purple deadnettle are present at the time of application, the addition of atrazine will improve control. Observe directions for use and precautions and restrictions on the label of the burndown herbicide. When mixing with liquid nitrogen fertilizer or certain glyphosate formulations, substitute a non-ionic surfactant for crop oil concentrate. Preemergence Apply BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide during planting (behind the planter after furrow closure) or after planting but before weeds or crop emerge. Failure to thoroughly close and firm the seed furrow may allow herbicide to directly contact the seed which can cause injury. Early Postemergence BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide, alone or in tank mixture with atrazine, may be applied to corn from spiking through the 2 leaf-collar growth stage (V2, the first leaf has a rounded tip). BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may not provide control of emerged weeds larger than a 1 true leaf stage. Tank-mixtures with other herbicides or adjuvants are not advised for early postemergence applications of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide as crop response symptoms including bleaching, leave edge necrosis, and stunting may result. DO NOT use COC, MSO, or a loaded glyphosate formulation with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide applied to emerged field corn. Early postemergence applications of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide must be made in water as the carrier. Sprayable fluid fertilizer as an herbicide carrier for early postemergence applications in corn can typically cause corn injury up to and including tissue burn (necrosis). Sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier is not advised for use with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide after crop emergence unless typical fertilizer burn symptoms on the crop are acceptable. DO NOT apply tank-mixes of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide with organophosphate or carbamate insecticides to emerged corn. Foliar applications of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticides must not be made within 7 days of an application of BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide or crop injury may result. TANK MIX INSTRUCTIONS It is the pesticides users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all products labels involved in tank mixing. users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide may be used in tank mixture with other herbicides for improved control of certain broadleaf and grass weeds in corn. Preplant/preemergence/early postemergence tank mixtures with BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide include but are not limited to those listed. Refer to and follow all parts of the label of each tank-mix partner. Tank-mix combinations may be used in either conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till cropping systems and applied at the same timings as BALANCE FLEXX Herbicide unless otherwise specified in the tank mix label. Multiple tank mixtures are allowed unless otherwise specified by the respective product labels. Check all tank-mix product labels for proper rates and compatibilities for multiple tank-mixes.
