RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, CADENCE NXT HERBICIDE contains a Group 15 herbicide. Any weed
population may contain or develo p plants naturally resistant to CADENCE NXT HERBICIDE and other
Group 15 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used
repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of CADENCE NXT HERBICIDE or other Group 15 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 di fferent group if such use is permitted; where
information on resistance in target weed specie s is available use the less resistance-prone
partner at a rate that will control the target weeds equally as well as the more resistance- prone
partner. Consult your local extension service or ce rtified 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, biological and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor we ed populations for earl y signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include:
o Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose
applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds.
o A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species.
o 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 mechanic al method such as 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 ce rtified 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 suspecte d resistance contact Loveland Products, Inc.
retailer, representative or call 1-888-574-2878.

Weed Resistance Management Guidelines
Acetochlor, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 15 herbicide based on the mode of action
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population can contain plants
naturally resistant to Group 15 herbicides. Such re sistant weed plants may not be effectively managed
using Group 15 herbicides but may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different
Group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices. However, any herbicide mode of action
classification by itself may not adequately address specific weeds that are resistant to specific herbicides.
Consult your Loveland Products, Inc. representative, state cooperative extension service, professional
consultants, or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant
weeds.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets
in accordance with the most current version of the American Society of Agriculture & Biological
Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
8
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
x 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.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
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.
Best Management Practices
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations
resistant to one or more herbicides is recommended. A diversified weed management program may
include the use of multiple herbicides with different modes of action and overlapping weed spectrum with
or without tillage operations and/or other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using full
labeled rates and following directions for use is important to delay the selection for resistance. Scouting
after a herbicide application is important because it can facilitate the early identification of weed shifts
9
and/or weed resistance and thus provide direction on future weed management practices. One of the
best ways to contain resistant populations is to implement measures to avoid allowing weeds to
reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively. Cleaning equipment between sites and avoiding
movement of plant material between sites will greatly aid in retarding the spread of resistant weed seed.
General principles of herbicide resistance management
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide modes-of-action with
overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
2. Use the full recommended herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest to control
weed species present in the field.
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved. Avoid allowing
weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
x Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or tillage in
combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
x Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness
x Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible.
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your
Loveland Products, Inc. representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
Application Directions - Corn
Carriers and Spray Volume
Liquids: Either water or liquid fertilizers such as solutions, slurries, or suspensions may be used as liquid
carriers. If fluid fertilizers are used, a physical compatibility test with these must be done before
combining in the spray tank. See Appendix I for details of the compatibility testing procedure. Even if
Cadence NXT Herbicide is physically compatible with a fluid fertilizer, constant agitation is necessary to
maintain a uniform mixture during application.
Apply in a minimum broadcast spray volume of 10 gallons per acre using boom equipment for ground
applications. Use low pressure nozzles designed for application of herbicides. Use sufficient operating
pressure to produce the desired spray pattern for the nozzle (15 to 40 psi) and follow manufacturer's
instructions for nozzle spacing and operating height to ensure uniform spray distribution at the soil
surface. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens, if needed.
Dry Bulk Fertilizer: Cadence NXT Herbicide may be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer and applied as the
fertilizer is spread. Use at least 200 lb of dry bulk fertilizer per acre. See Appendix II for more details
including which fertilizers are compatible.
Adding to Spray Tank
The spray tank must be clean, thoroughly rinsed, and decontaminated before adding either Cadence NXT
Herbicide alone or in tank mix combinations. If water is used as the carrier, use clean water. All return
lines to the spray tank must discharge below the liquid level.
Used Alone: If Cadence NXT Herbicide is used alone, add the specified amount to the spray tank before
the tank is half filled, then add the rest of the water or flui d fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation to ensure
thorough mixing and to maintain a uniform spray mixture during application.
10
Tank Mixed: If a tank mixture is used, it is recommended that a small-scale test of compatibility be done
before actual tank mixing. See Appendix I for details on the procedure for such a test.
Water Carrier
Allow time for complete dispersion/mixing before adding another product to the spray mixture. Add
products to the tank mixture in the following order:
x To start, add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray tank. Begin agitation.
x Products in water soluble packaging. Important: Allow time for complete dispersion.
x Wettable powders or dry flowables (slurry if specified by tank mix product label)
x Liquid flowables
x Cadence NXT Herbicide or other emulsifiable concentrates
x Suspension concentrates
x Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or ammonium sulphate (AMS), if required
x Compatibility agent if needed
x Soluble liquids such as glyphosate, paraquat, 2,4-D amine
x Crop oil concentrate (COC) or nonionic surfactant (NIS), if required
x Finish filling spray tank to required spray volume
Liquid Fertilizer Carrier
Allow time for complete dispersion/mixing before adding another product to the spray mixture. Add
products to the tank mixture in the following order:
x To start, add one-half of the required amount of liquid fertilizer to the spray tank. Begin agitation.
x Compatibility agent if needed
x Products in water soluble packaging. Important: Prod ucts in water soluble packaging must be premixed
with water (slurried) prior to addition to the spray tank.
x Wettable powders or dry flowables (slurry if specified by tank mix product label)
x Liquid flowables
x Cadence NXT Herbicide or other emulsifiable concentrates
x Suspension concentrates
x Ammonium sulphate (AMS), if tank mixing with glyphosate.
x Soluble liquids such as glyphosate, paraquat, or 2,4-D amine
x Crop oil concentrate (COC) or nonionic surfactant (NIS), if required
x Finish filling spray tank to required spray volume.
Note: For all tank mixtures, maintain agitation during mixing and throughout application to ensure spray
mixture remains uniformly suspended.
Application Timing and Methods
For the optimum period of effective weed control during the time most critical to corn production, preplant
application of Cadence NXT Herbicide herbicide should occur as close as possible to planting.
Preemergence applications should occur as close as possible to planting, but prior to weed emergence;
this product will not control emerged weeds present at application. Postemergence applications should
occur prior to weed emergence or in tank mix comb ination with a product that controls emerged weeds.
Note: Do not apply Cadence NXT Herbicide to sweet corn as an early postemergence application.
Early Preplant Surface: On medium and fine textured soils (see Table 1) Cadence NXT Herbicide and
certain tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 days before planting field corn or silage corn. Split
applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to planting with 60 percent of the specified broadcast rate
applied initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Applications made less than 30 days
prior to planting can be made either as a split or as a single application. If weeds are present at the time
of application, apply this product in a tank mixture with an appropriate contact herbicide. Observe
directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. During the planting
operation, be careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as
11
weed control may be reduced.
Preplant Incorporation: Cadence NXT Herbicide and certain tank mixes may be mechanically
incorporated into the top 2 inches of the soil with field cultivators, discs, or spring tooth harrows any time
up to 14 days prior to planting. Improper incorporatio n, excessive crop residues, or poor soil tilth may
result in erratic, streaked, or otherwise unsatisfactory weed control. Do not mix Cadence NXT Herbicide
deeper than 2 inches into the soil and avoid moving or shaping soil after incorporation, as weed control
may be reduced.
Preemergence Surface: Cadence NXT Herbicide and certain tank mixes may be applied to the soil
surface as a broadcast or banded application. Precipitation or sprinkler i rrigation of at least 0.25 inch is
required to bring Cadence NXT Herbicide into contact with germinating seeds. If rain or sprinkler
irrigation does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control may be improved by using a rotary
hoe or similar equipment to incorporate the herbicide. Incorporation equipment should be run at a
shallow depth to avoid disturbance of germinating corn seed. Erratic weed control resulting from
exposure of untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or reshaped after incorporation.
Postplant-Preemergence: Cadence NXT Herbicide may be applied after planting but prior to corn
emergence. If rain or sprinkler irrigation does not o ccur within 7 days after application, weed control may
be improved by using a rotary hoe or similar equipment to shallowly incorporate the herbicide.
Incorporation equipment should be run at a shallow depth to prevent disturbance of the germinating corn.
Erratic weed control resulting from exposure of untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or
reshaped during incorporation.
Banding-Preemergence: Cadence NXT Herbicide may be applied in a 10- to 14-inch band after corn
planting but prior to emergence. If rain or sprink ler irrigation does not occur within 7 days after
application, weed control may be improved by shallow incorporation using a rotary hoe or similar
equipment. Do not disturb the germinating corn seed . Erratic weed control resulting from exposure of
untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved or reshaped during incorporation.
Early Postemergence: Cadence NXT Herbicide may be applied early postemergence to corn up to 11
inches tall. Application must be made prior to wee d seedling emergence or in a tank mixture with a
herbicide that controls the emerged weeds. Read an d follow restrictions and directions on tank mix
product labels.
DO NOT apply postemergence to sweet corn.
DO NOT make postemergence applications using sprayable liquid fertilizer as the carrier because severe
crop injury may occur.
Sprinkler Irrigation: Do not apply Cadence NXT Herbicide by sprinkler irrigation, unless otherwise
directed by approved supplemental labeling in the possession of the user at the time of application.
Use
a sprinkler systemto incorporate Cadence NXT Herbicide after application. After Cadence NXT Herbicide
has been applied, a sprinkler irrigation system set to deliver 0.25 to 0.75 inch of water per acre may be
used to incorporate the product. Using more than 0.75 inch of water could result in reduced performance.
On sandy soil low in organic matter, use no more than 0.5 inch of water. Do not use flood irrigation to
apply or incorporate Cadence NXT Herbicide.
Fall Application - For use only in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, north
of Route 91 in Nebraska, and north of Route 136 in Illinois. Following soybean harvest, apply to
soybean stubble after September 30, when the sustained soil temperature at 4-inch depth is less than
55
oF, but before ground freezes. Use on medium- and fi ne-textured soils with greater than 2.5% organic
matter. Only corn may be planted the following spring.
Ground may be tilled before or after application. Do not exceed 2-inch incorporation depth if tilled after
application.
12
If a spring application is made, the total rate of the fall plus spring application must not exceed the
maximum labeled rate for corn grown on that soil.
Cultivation
Cultivation should be delayed as long as possibl e. If weeds emerge, a shallow cultivation or rotary
hoeing will generally result in improved weed control. If Cadence NXT Herbicide was incorporated,
cultivate to a depth of less than half the depth of incorporation.
If cultivation is necessary due to soil crusting or compaction, adjust equipment to run shallow and
minimize soil movement. This will decrease the possibility of diluting or moving the herbicide from the
weed control zone.
Soil Texture and Organic Matter
The use rate of Cadence NXT Herbicide is determined by a combination of two factors, soil texture and
organic matter, which must be determined prior to application. Different soil textures are grouped into
three textural classes (coarse, medium, and fine) as outlined in Table 1. Soil texture and organic matter
content of the soil may be determined from soil survey information and/or by laboratory analysis and must
be known in order to select the proper rate from Table 2.

Use Rates for Reduced Tillage Systems or Early Preplant Applications in
Conventional Tillage Systems
Cadence NXT Herbicide may be used in reduced and no-till systems or as an early preplant application
(more than 14 days prior to planting) in conventional tillage systems. Single applications may occur up to
30 days before planting but prior to weed emergenc e; application on coarse soils should not be made
13
more than 14 days prior to planting. Optimal weed co ntrol will be obtained when applications are made
as close as possible to planting but before weeds emerge. Split applications of Cadence NXT Herbicide
may be used; apply 60% of the recommended rate pr ior to weed emergence and up to 45 days before
planting and the remaining 40% at or immediately following planting but before crop emergence. If weeds
are present at application, it is recommended that a burndown herbicide such as paraquat (Gramoxone),
glyphosate (Durango DMA), or 2,4-D be tank mixed with Cadence NXT Herbicide.

Weeds Controlled
Cadence NXT Herbicide, applied as directed in this label, will provide control or partial control of the
weeds listed in Table 4. Partially controlled weeds will be severely stunted, or experience reduced height,
vigor, or population compared to untreated areas. Dep ending on the infestation level or density, a follow-
up treatment with another registered herbicide may be needed to provide complete control.
Additional weeds may be controlled with tank mixes. See the Tank Mix Combinations section for
specified tank mix combinations and additional weeds controlled.

1. Use 3.0 to 3.4 pints per acre applied alone or in tank mixtures for best results. Control may be
erratic, especially under dry conditions. Control es caped weeds with cultivation or application of a
registered postemergence herbicide.
2. Use 3.0 to 3.4 pints per acre.
3. Use 2.5 to 3.4 pints per acre applied alone or in tank mixtures and apply preplant incorporated only
for control on medium- and fine-textured soils.
4. Best control is achieved when Cadence NXT Herbicide is applied within 5 days of planting and rainfall
occurs shortly after application or mechanical incorporation is used to activate the herbicide. If it does
not rain within 7 days of application, shallow cultivation will enhance activity. Excessive rainfall after
application may reduce control. Under adverse weather conditions and/or heavy infestations,
cultivation or application of a registered postemergence herbicide may be needed.
5. Use the higher rate in the application rate range.
Tank Mix Combinations
Additional weeds may be controlled with tank mixes of Cadence NXT Herbicide and other products
labeled for use on field corn, production seed corn, silage corn, sweet corn and popcorn. Tank mix
combinations may be used in conventional, reduced, or no-till systems and may be applied by the same
methods and at the same application timing as Cadence NXT Herbicide herbicide unless otherwise
specified in the tank mix product label.
Cadence NXT Herbicide may be tank mixed with any other herbicide labeled for use on corn provided the
compatibility of the tank mix is verified by a jar test and tank mixing with Cadence NXT Herbicide is not
prohibited by the label of the tank mix product. The compatibility of a tank mixture can be determined by
mixing the ingredients of the herbicide mixture in their relative proportions in a glass jar as described for
fluid fertilizer mixtures in Appendix I by substituting water for fluid fertilizer. Refer to the label of the tank
mix product for applicable use directions, precautions and limitations, including additional weeds
controlled. Do not exceed application rates on th e respective product labels. Do not tank mix with
another pesticide product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of
either tank mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used.
15
When tank mixing Cadence NXT Herbicide with atrazine, do not exceed the maximum allowable
rate of atrazine in your county or state. In some atrazine management areas, atrazine is more
restricted. Consult your county extension office or state university for further information.
For all applications, do not exceed the maximum rate of acetochlor as specified in the Maximum
Acetochlor Application Rate Per Calendar Year section of this label.
Use of Spray Adjuvants
Cadence NXT Herbicide is a preemergence herbicide for which spray adjuvants have little or no influence
on performance. However, several herbicides used in tank mixtures with Cadence NXT Herbicide require
use of adjuvants to aid in the burndown of emerged weeds. Use only those adjuvants recommended on
the label of the tank mix product and approved for use in growing crops. Surfactants and/or low rate
liquid fertilizers (28%, 30% or 32% UAN) or ammonium sulfate (AMS) adjuvants may be used with tank
mixes applied preplant or preemergence to the crop.

Appendix I
Procedure for Testing the Compatibility of Cadence NXT Herbicide and Tank Mixes with Fluid Fertilizers
Since fluid fertilizers vary, the following procedure is suggested for determining whether Cadence NXT Herbicide
herbicide may be combined with a specific fluid fertilizer for spray tank application.
Materials Needed:
• Cadence NXT Herbicide and any tank mix products
• Fluid fertilizer to be used
• Adjuvant for fertilizer tank mix: Use any adjuvant cl eared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 to
improve the compatibility of Cadence NXT Herbicide with fluid fertilizers. The adjuvant that provides the best
emulsification depends upon the specific fertilizer under consideration.
• Two 1 quart, wide mouth glass jars with lid or stopper
• Measuring spoons (a 25 ml pipette or graduated cylinder provides more accurate measurement)
• Measuring cup, 8 oz (257 ml)
Procedure:
1. Pour a pint (about 473 ml) of the flui d fertilizer into each of the quart jars.
2. Add Cadence NXT Herbicide and any tank mix combination to the jars. The order of addition is wettable
powders first with mixing, followed by flowables with mixing and the ECs last. The rate of wettable powders and
dry flowables is 1 1/2 teaspoon per pound of product per acre to be applied. ECs should be added at the rate of
1/2 teaspoon for each pint per acre to be applied. Premixing the wettable powders in 1 oz of water before
adding to the pint of fluid fertilizer will improve the compatibility of the final mixture.
3. Add 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) adjuvant to one of the jars, labe l it as "with," and mix. The rate of 1/2 teaspoon per pint
is equal to 3 pints of adjuvant per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer.
19
4. Close both jars with lids or stoppers and mix the contents by turning the jars upside down 10 times.
5. Inspect the surface and body of the mixtures-
(a) Immediately after completing the jar inversions
(b) After allowing the jars to stand undisturbed for 30 minutes
(c) And then again after turning the jars upside down 10 times after the 30 minute inspection
Evaluation:
If either mixture remains uniform for 30 minutes, the combination may be used. Should either mixture separate after
30 minutes, but readily remix uniformly with 10 jar inversions, the mixture can be used if adequate agitation is
maintained in the tank. If the mixture with adjuvant is satisfactory but the one without adjuvant is not, be sure to use
the adjuvant in the spray tank. Add the adjuvant first at a rate of 3 pints per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer. Foaming
may be minimized by using moderate agitation. If non- dispersible oil, sludge, or clumps of solids form in the
mixtures, the combination should not be used.
Appendix II
Dry Bulk Fertilizer Impregnation
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertil izer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the
responsibility of the individual and/or company selling Cadence NXT Herbicide, Surpass fertilizer mixtures.
When applying Cadence NXT Herbicide alone or in tank mixes with dry bulk fertilizers, follow all directions for use
and precautions on the respective tank mix product labels regarding use rates, soil texture, application methods,
and rotational restrictions. Use a minimum of 200 lb of dry bulk fertilizer per acre.

(1) Do not impregnate on fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate.
(2) Some ureas may be phytotoxic when high rates are applied to corn. Use only urea rates known to be
safe for corn application.
For impregnating pesticides on dry fertilizers, use suitable mixers equipped with suitable spraying
equipment. The spray nozzles should be positioned inside the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage
of the tumbling fertilizer. Cadence NXT Herbicide should be sprayed uniformly onto the fertilizer using a
fine spray pattern. Tank mix components may be ap plied as separate ingredients with powders and dry
flowables added first or they may be mixed in a slurry in the proper ratio and added jointly. Cadence NXT
Herbicide may also be impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer in the field while the fertilizer is being spread
using a pneumatic applicator equipped to impregnate herbicides.
The following table provides a reference to determine the amount of Cadence NXT Herbicide to be mixed
per ton of dry bulk fertilizer for a range of herbicide rates.

Cadence NXT Herbicide rate (pints/acre) X 2000 = Pints of Cadence NXT Herbicide
Pounds of fertilizer/acre per ton of fertilizer
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, use of a drying agent is required to provide a dry, free-flowing
mixture. For mixtures to be used in spinning-disc applicators, Micro-Cel E calcium silicate powder
(Manville, Filtration & Minerals) is recommended for use as a drying agent. Mixtures to be used in
pneumatic applicators should use Micro-Cel E or Agsorb 16/30 RVM-MS granular clay (Oil-Dri
Corporation). The drying agents should be ad ded separately and uniformly to the prepared
pesticide/fertilizer mixture, in a quantity that is sufficient to provide a suitable free-flowing mixture.
Generally, less than 2% Micro-Cel E or 5% Agsorb 16/30 RVM-MS by weight is required.
Precaution: To avoid potential for explosion, do not impregnate Cadence NXT Herbicide on ammonium
sorbate nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate fertilizer or fertilizer blends. Do not impregnate on a
single (0-20-0) or triple (0-46-0) super phosphate. Do not attempt to impregnate Cadence NXT Herbicide
on agricultural limestone as the herbicide will not be adequately absorbed.
21
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Do not store near oxidizing agents.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store only in original container in locked storage areas. If a spill occurs, visible
puddles or drops should be covered with a dry absorbent such as clay, sawdust, lime or soda ash. Sweep up
