Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json).

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, or 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. Apply this product only as directed
|
||
on the label.
|
||
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils
|
||
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground
|
||
water contamination.
|
||
Movement by surface runoff or through soil
|
||
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff. Do not apply to impervious
|
||
substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces in areas with high potential
|
||
for ground water contamination. Ground water contamination may occur in areas
|
||
where soils are permeable or coarse and ground water is near the surface. Do not
|
||
apply to soils classified as sand with less than 3% organic matter and where ground
|
||
water depth is shallow. To minimize the possibility of ground water contamination,
|
||
carefully follow application rate recommendations as affected by soil type in the
|
||
general information section of this label.
|
||
Movement by water erosion of treated soil
|
||
Do not apply or incorporate this product through any type of irrigation equipment nor
|
||
by flood or furrow irrigation. Ensure treated areas have received at least one-half
|
||
inch rainfall (or irrigation) before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of other
|
||
fields.
|
||
Point source contamination
|
||
To prevent point source contamination, do not mix or load this pesticide product
|
||
within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes,
|
||
perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and
|
||
reservoirs. Do not apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. 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 as described below. 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 sufficient capacity to contain all product
|
||
spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment wash waters, and rainwater that
|
||
may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering
|
||
pesticide shipments to the mixing/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: a) back siphoning into wells,
|
||
b) spills or c) improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
|
||
Check valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment.
|
||
Endangered Species Concerns
|
||
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or otherwise harm an endangered
|
||
species or adversely modify their habitat is a violation of federal law.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
DIFLEXX® Herbicide:
|
||
• is a selective herbicide for the control of annual broadleaf weeds and control/
|
||
suppression of many biennial and perennial broadleaf weeds in corn (field corn,
|
||
field corn grown for silage, white corn, seed corn, popcorn), and fallow croplands.
|
||
• is formulated as a suspension concentrate containing 4 pounds acid equivalent
|
||
of 3,6-dichloro-o-anisic acid (diglycolamine salt) and the new corn safener
|
||
Cyprosulfamide.
|
||
• is readily absorbed by leaves, shoots and roots, translocates throughout the plant,
|
||
and accumulates in sensitive plant’s growing points.
|
||
• controls weeds by affecting cell wall plasticity and nucleic acid metabolism
|
||
leading to uncontrolled cell division and growth, ultimately causing vascular tissue
|
||
destruction and plant death.
|
||
• controls many broadleaf weed species which have developed herbicide resistance
|
||
to glyphosate, triazine, PPO, ALS and HPPD chemistries.
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide:
|
||
• may be used in either conventional, conservation or no-till crop management systems.
|
||
• may be applied to actively growing weeds using either broadcast, band or spot
|
||
spray applications
|
||
• may be applied using water as a carrier.
|
||
• may be applied preplant, preemergence or post emergence.
|
||
• may be applied at use rates of 6-64 fl oz/acre depending on crop, weed growth
|
||
stages and weeds to be controlled/suppressed.
|
||
o General rate information can be found in the APPLICATION RATES section of
|
||
this label. Detailed rate information by crop can be found in the SPECIFIC USE
|
||
DIRECTIONS section of this label.
|
||
• may be tank mixed with adjuvants (refer to Spray Additives section of this label).
|
||
• must be applied in a manner which minimizes/avoids herbicide drift to sensitive plants.
|
||
o using coarse sprays (volume median diameter of 400 microns or more). Select
|
||
nozzles that are designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles
|
||
(less than 200 microns).
|
||
o keeping spray pressure at or below 20 psi and spray volume at or above 20
|
||
gallons per acre (for ground broadcast applications), unless otherwise required
|
||
by the manufacturer of drift-reducing nozzles. Consult your spray nozzle
|
||
supplier concerning the choice of drift-reducing nozzles.
|
||
o using agriculturally-approved drift reducing additives.
|
||
• must be applied in a manner such that weeds are thoroughly covered with spray.
|
||
Ground Application (Banding)
|
||
When applying DIFLEXX Herbicide by banding, determine the amount of herbicide
|
||
and water volume needed using the following formula:
|
||
band width (inches)
|
||
row width (inches)
|
||
X broadcast rate per acre = banding rate per acre
|
||
band width (inches)
|
||
row width (inches)
|
||
X broadcast spray volume = banding spray volume
|
||
per acre per acre
|
||
Ground Application (Broadcast)
|
||
• Ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
|
||
the appropriate carriers and spray additives.
|
||
• Use 3 - 50 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance.
|
||
Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation.

|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Uneven Spray Coverage: To avoid uneven spray coverage, DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide should not be applied during periods of gusty wind or when wind is in
|
||
excess of 15 mph.
|
||
• Off-Target Movement: DIFLEXX Herbicide may cause injury to desirable trees
|
||
and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals,
|
||
peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, and other broadleaf
|
||
plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage. These plants are most
|
||
sensitive to DIFLEXX Herbicide during their development or growing stage.
|
||
• Disturbing Soil After Application: Disturbing DIFLEXX Herbicide (e.g. tillage
|
||
or cultivating) treated areas within 7 days following an application may reduce
|
||
herbicide uptake, translocation and weed control.
|
||
• Rainfast Period: Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after post
|
||
emergence applications may reduce the effectiveness of DIFLEXX Herbicide.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product is a Group 4 herbicide. A given weed population may contain or
|
||
develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance-
|
||
management strategies should be followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The
|
||
following Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing
|
||
problems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices
|
||
to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective.
|
||
• Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.

COPY AREA
|
||
• Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits and/or
|
||
use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotation.
|
||
• Use multiple herbicide sites of action. Use tank mix partners and multiple
|
||
SOAs during both the growing season and from year to year to reduce the
|
||
selection pressure of a single SOA.
|
||
• Know your weeds, know your fields. Closely monitor problematic areas with
|
||
difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations.
|
||
• Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide
|
||
program can control emerged weeds prior to planting.
|
||
• Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, pre-
|
||
emergence or early post-emergence soil-applied residual herbicides should be
|
||
used when possible.
|
||
• Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, including timing, full
|
||
use-rates and appropriate spray volumes.
|
||
• Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking,
|
||
cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed
|
||
production and improve weed management.
|
||
• Zero tolerance – reduce the seed bank. Do not allow surviving weeds to set
|
||
seed, which will help decrease weed populations from year to year and prevent
|
||
major weed shifts.
|
||
• Clean equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their
|
||
seeds.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisory and /or Bayer
|
||
CropScience representative (1-844-RRXtend) for additional resistance
|
||
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed
|
||
Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC)
|
||

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The
|
||
interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential
|
||
for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all
|
||
these factors when making decisions.
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered
|
||
in the following Drift Reduction Advisory. [This information is advisory in nature and
|
||
does not supersede mandatory label requirements.]
|
||
Drift Reduction Advisory
|
||
Information on Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best
|
||
drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient
|
||
coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not
|
||
prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental
|
||
conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size
|
||
• 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 recommended pressures.
|
||
For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher
|
||
flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
• Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform
|
||
coverage.

|
||
• Nozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel
|
||
to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the
|
||
recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet
|
||
size and increase drift potential.
|
||
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle that is designed for the intended application. With
|
||
most nozzles types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider
|
||
using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the
|
||
largest droplets and the lowest drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce
|
||
larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe
|
||
when conditions are both hot and dry.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Applications should not occur during a local, low level temperature inversion because
|
||
drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which
|
||
causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud
|
||
can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during
|
||
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures
|
||
with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
|
||
wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their
|
||
presence can be indicated by ground fog: however, if fog is not present, inversions
|
||
can also be identified by the movement of the smoke from a ground source. 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.
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many
|
||
factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any
|
||
given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind
|
||
direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind
|
||
patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they
|
||
affect spray drift.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent areas (e.g.,
|
||
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species,
|
||
non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per
|
||
acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust
|
||
accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add
|
||
components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order Instructions section using 2
|
||
teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of label rate per acre. Always cap
|
||
the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions. When the components have
|
||
all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for
|
||
uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor
|
||
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray
|
||
solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable
|
||
compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as
|
||
directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in
|
||
the same tank.
|
||
Unless otherwise prohibited on this label or the label of an intended tank mix product,
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide may be applied in combinations with any pesticide registered for
|
||
the same crop, timing and method of application. See the SPECIFIC CROP USE
|
||
RECOMMENDATIONS section for more details. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility
|
||
to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the
|
||
applicable restrictions, limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in

statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Order of Mixing
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide may be used with other pesticides, fertilizers, and
|
||
micronutrients. The proper mixing procedure for DIFLEXX Herbicide alone or in
|
||
tank mix combinations with other pesticides is:
|
||
1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of
|
||
clean water.
|
||
2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application
|
||
3. Inductor. If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has
|
||
been added.
|
||
4. Products in PVA bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags
|
||
into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have been dissolved
|
||
and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
|
||
5. Add DIFLEXX Herbicide and other water-dispersible products (dry flowables,
|
||
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspoemulsions)
|
||
6. Water-soluble products.
|
||
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable).
|
||
8. Water-soluble additives.
|
||
9. Remaining quantity of water.
|
||
Maintain constant agitation during 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, by using a strong
|
||
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions,
|
||
and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after spraying this product.
|
||
ROTATIONAL CROPS
|
||
The interval between application and planting rotational crops is given below.
|
||
Always exclude counting days when the ground is frozen. Planting at intervals
|
||
less than specified below may result in crop injury. Moisture is essential for the
|
||
degradations of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather prevails, use cultivation to allow
|
||
herbicide contact with moist soil.
|
||
• Planting/replanting restrictions for DIFLEXX Herbicide applications of 24
|
||
fluid ounces per acre or less: Corn can be replanted immediately following an
|
||
application of DIFLEXX Herbicide (care should be taken that corn seed does not
|
||
come into direct contact with the herbicide). The rotation interval to soybean varies
|
||
by DIFLEXX Herbicide rate. For DIFLEXX Herbicide rates of 12 fluid ounces per
|
||
acre or less, the rotational interval for soybeans is 30 days; for DIFLEXX Herbicide
|
||
rates from 13 - 24 fluid ounces per acre, the soybean rotational interval is 60 days.
|
||
The rotational interval is 60 days for barley, cotton, oat, sorghum, and wheat and
|
||
120 days for all other crops.
|
||
• Planting/replanting restrictions for DIFLEXX Herbicide applications of more
|
||
than 24 fluid ounces and up to 64 fluid ounces per acre: Corn, sorghum,
|
||
cotton (east of Rocky Mountains) and all other crops grown in areas with 30” or
|
||
more of annual rainfall may be planted 120 days or more after application. Barley,
|
||
oat, wheat and other grass seedlings grown east of the Mississippi River may be
|
||
planted 60, 90 and 120 days following DIFLEXX Herbicide application rates of
|
||
24-32, 33-48, and 49-64 fluid ounces/acre, respectively. Barley, oat, wheat and
|
||
other grass seedlings grown west of the Mississippi River may be planted 60, 90,
|
||
135 and 180 days following DIFLEXX Herbicide application rates of 16, 17-32,
|
||
33-48, and 49-64 fluid ounces/acre, respectively. For all other crops in areas with
|
||
less than 30” of annual rainfall, the interval between application and planting is
|
||
180 days or more.

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 DIFLEXX 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
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide. However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated
|
||
for tolerance to DIFLEXX Herbicide and significant injury may occur. Prior to
|
||
seeding a cover crop, complete a successful field/small scale bioassay to provide
|
||
an indication of the level of tolerance to the prior DIFLEXX 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 crop other than
|
||
those specified in the Rotational Crop section of this label. To conduct an effective
|
||
field bioassay, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow in the following season
|
||
in a field previously treated with DIFLEXX Herbicide. The test strip should be placed
|
||
in a controlled area and should include low areas and knolls, and include variations
|
||
in soil such as 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 DIFLEXX Herbicide.
|
||
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types
|
||
from the DIFLEXX 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 crop emerges and grows normally, the risk to establish
|
||
and grow the cover crop in the DIFLEXX Herbicide-treated field should be tolerable.
|
||
APPLICATION RATES
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide will control/suppress many annual, biennial and perennial
|
||
broadleaf weeds at rates ranging from 6 to 32 fluid ounces per acre. Small,
|
||
actively growing annual weeds (1-3 inches tall) or small rosette growth stage
|
||
biennial weeds (1-3 inch diameter) are generally more easily controlled/
|
||
suppressed than larger annual/biennial weeds or perennial weeds. For the list of
|
||
weeds controlled/suppressed by DIFLEXX Herbicide, refer to the WEEDS
|
||
CONTROLLED section of this label. For specific use rates recommendations per

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
CORN (Field, Pop, Seed, and Silage)
|
||
USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide can be applied pre-plant, pre-emergence, and post-emergence
|
||
in corn for all tillage systems (e.g. no-tillage, reduced tillage and conventional).
|
||
Plant corn at least 1 1/2 inches deep. Corn seed must be completely covered with
|
||
soil and furrow firmed.
|
||
In rare instances, applications of DIFLEXX Herbicide during periods of rapid corn
|
||
growth may result in temporary leaning of the crop. Corn will usually become erect
|
||
within 3-7 days. Cultivation should be delayed until after corn is growing normally to
|
||
avoid potential stalk breakage.
|
||
Before applying DIFLEXX Herbicide to seed corn or popcorn, verify the selectivity of
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide on the inbred line or hybrid with your local seed corn or popcorn
|
||
company (supplier). This precaution will help avoid potential injury to sensitive lines.
|
||
APPLICATION RATE
|
||
Do not apply more than 16 fluid ounces (0.5 lb dicamba ae) per acre per application
|
||
and a total of 24 fluid ounces (0.75 lb dicamba ae) per acre per year. Apply a
|
||
maximum of two applications per growing season. Sequential applications must
|
||
be separated by two (2) weeks or more.
|
||
Preplant and Preemergence Applications in No Tillage, Reduced Tillage and
|
||
Conventional Corn
|
||
Apply from 8 - 16 fluid ounces per acre of DIFLEXX Herbicide. Use the higher rates
|
||
in the rate range on soils high in organic matter or under certain weed conditions
|
||
(See higher rate recommendations listed under the Post-emergence Application
|
||
in All Tillage Systems section.
|
||
Post-emergence Application in All Tillage Systems
|
||
Apply from 6 - 16 fluid ounces per acre of DIFLEXX Herbicide. Use higher rates in
|
||
this range when one or more of the following situations are present:
|
||
• Weeds with known resistance (ALS, PPO, glyphosate, triazine, HPPD, etc.) to
|
||
herbicides in tank mix with DIFLEXX Herbicide
|
||
• Weeds not controlled by tank mix partners
|
||
• Heavy weed populations
|
||
• Biennial/perennial weeds listed on the label
|
||
• Annual weeds taller than 6”
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide at rates below 8 fluid ounces per acre will provide control/
|
||
suppression of certain broadleaf weeds but should be applied in tank mixture with
|
||
additional effective postemergence herbicides for improved weed control.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
Preplant and Preemergence Applications in No Tillage, Reduced Tillage and
|
||
Conventional Corn
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide can be applied up to 14 days before, during or after planting
|
||
a corn crop. DIFLEXX Herbicide will control emerged labeled weeds and provide
|
||
residual control of many weeds. When additional residual control is desired, a
|
||
tank mixture with residual herbicides such as Corvus ®, Balance® Flexx, atrazine
|
||
or other registered residual herbicides may be used. COC or MSO at 1%v/v are
|
||
recommended for burndown of labeled weeds 6” or less in height. When weeds
|
||
are greater than 6” in height or weeds not controlled by DIFLEXX Herbicide are
|
||
present, the addition of a burndown herbicide (e.g., glyphosate) is recommended.
|
||
Observe directions for use, precautions and restrictions, and adjuvants on the
|
||
label of the residual or burndown tank mixed herbicides.

Post-emergence Application in All Tillage Systems
|
||
Broadcast Spray Application: Apply DIFLEXX Herbicide as a broadcast spray
|
||
when corn is at spike through the V10 stage of growth (10 leaf collar) or 36” tall,
|
||
whichever occurs first. Early post emergence application is recommended for best
|
||
weed control (weeds less than 3” tall) and crop yield potential.
|
||
TANK MIX INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide should be a part of an integrated pest control program that may
|
||
include herbicides, insecticides and/or fungicides applied prior to, in tank mix with,
|
||
or following a DIFLEXX Herbicide application. When using tank mix or sequential
|
||
applications with DIFLEXX Herbicide, always follow the companion product label
|
||
to determine specific use rates, application timings and pest controlled. In addition,
|
||
follow precautions and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that
|
||
may apply to specific products. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that
|
||
all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable
|
||
restrictions, limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
|
||
statements of each product in the tank mixture.

|
||
USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide can be applied either postharvest in the fall, spring, or summer
|
||
during the fallow period or to crop stubble/set-aside acres. Apply DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide as a broadcast or spot treatment to emerged and actively growing
|
||
weeds after the crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost or in the fallow
|
||
cropland or crop stubble the following spring or summer.
|
||
See the ROTATIONAL CROP section of the label for the required interval between
|
||
application and planting to prevent crop injury.
|
||
APPLICATION RATE
|
||
Apply 4 - 32 fluid ounces of DIFLEXX Herbicide per acre. Refer to the APPLICATION
|
||
RATES and WEEDS CONTROLLED sections of this label to determine use rates
|
||
for specific targeted weed species.
|
||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||
For best performance, apply DIFLEXX Herbicide when annual weeds are less
|
||
than 3” tall, when biennial weeds are in the rosette stage and to perennial weed
|
||
regrowth in late summer or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment. The most
|
||
effective control of upright perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle and
|
||
Jerusalem artichoke occurs if DIFLEXX Herbicide is applied when the majority
|
||
of weeds have at least 4” - 6” regrowth or for weeds such as field bindweed and
|
||
hedge bindweed that are in or beyond the full bloom stage.
|
||
Avoid disturbing treated areas following application. Treatments may not kill
|
||
weeds that develop from seed or underground plant parts such as rhizomes or
|
||
bulblets, after the effective period for DIFLEXX Herbicide. For seedling control, a
|
||
follow-up program or other cultural practices could be instituted.
|
||
TANK MIX INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide should be a part of an integrated weed control program that
|
||
may include herbicides applied prior to, in tank mix with, or following a DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide application. When using tank mix or sequential applications with DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide, always follow the companion product label to determine specific use
|
||
rates by soil type, weed species, and weed or crop growth stage. In addition,
|
||
follow precautions and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that
|
||
may apply to specific products. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that
|
||
all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable
|
||
restrictions, limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
|
||
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
DIFLEXX Herbicide should be a part of an integrated weed control program. In
|
||
tank mixes with one or more herbicides, apply 4-16 fluid ounces of DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide per acre for control of annual weeds, or 16-32 fluid ounces of DIFLEXX
|
||
Herbicide for control of biennial and perennial weeds. These products may include
|
||
but are not limited to the following herbicides:
