ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
For terrestrial uses, 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 wash water or rinsate.
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY
Mesotrione and S-metolachlor are known to leach through soil into groundwater under
certain conditions as a result of label use. These chemical may leach into groundwater
if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 4
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
This product may impact surface water through ground spray drift and due to runoff of
rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground
water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via
runoff for several months or more after application.
A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is
applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of mesotrione and S-metolachlor from runoff water and sediment.
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation
is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this
products contribution to surface water contamination.
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.
Reporting Ecological Incidents
To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals,
call 1-800-888-8372.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Halex® GT Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for contact followed by
residual control of weeds in Glyphosate Tolerant (GT) field corn. Halex GT is also a
preemergence herbicide for control of weeds in grain sorghum. Halex GT is a
combination of the herbicides glyphosate, mesotrione and S-metolachlor.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 7
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
To reduce the risk of weeds developing resistance to HPPD inhibitors, do not apply
other postemergence HPPD inhibitor herbicides (e.g., Callisto, Impact®, or Laudis®) in
the same season or on the same field where Halex GT Herbicide has been applied
Consider weed resistance management strategies that include two or more modes of
action where a minimum of two modes of action are effective at controlling the target
weed when either are applied alone.
Read and follow all label directions.
Halex GT Herbicide contains three herbicide active ingredients and three modes of
action and can be an effective component of a weed resistance management strategy.
Triazine and Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) Resistance
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf and grass weed species with
resistance to triazine or ALS herbicides are known to exist. If weed biotypes resistant to
triazine or ALS inhibitors are present in the field, Halex GT Herbicide will control them if
they are listed in Table 1.
Glyphosate Resistance
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to glyphosate may exist through
normal genetic variability in any weed population. The repeated use of herbicides with
the same mode of action is known to lead, under certain conditions, to a selection of
resistant weeds. Certain agronomic practices reduce the likelihood that resistant weed
populations will develop and integrated strategies are known to manage such problem
weeds.
Glyphosate is one of the active ingredients in Halex GT Herbicide, so glyphosate
resistance management is critical. Halex GT Herbicide will control broadleaf weeds that
are showing increased tolerance or resistance to glyphosate. When applying Halex GT
Herbicide to broadleaf weeds that are suspected or known to be resistant to glyphosate,
tank mix with atrazine or dicamba to provide an additional mode of action. Follow all
label directions and restrictions for the atrazine product tank mixed with Halex GT
Herbicide.
Halex GT Herbicide will not provide control of emerged grasses that are resistant to
glyphosate. For control of glyphosate resistant grass weeds, a weed control program
that includes a preemergence grass herbicide will reduce the dependence on
glyphosate.
The Best Weed Management practice includes the diversification of glyphosate-
dependent weed control programs with alternative mode of action herbicides or cultural
practices.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 8
a. In Roundup Ready (RR™) corn and RR soybean systems do not use more than
two applications of a glyphosate based herbicide over a two-year period.
Diversify with alternative mode of action herbicides and/or cultural practices.
b. In RR cotton, a maximum of three applications of a glyphosate based herbicide
may be used if employing in-crop cultivation and/or residual herbicides.
c. Use alternative (non-glyphosate) burndown and/or residual herbicides for RR
crops likely to require more than one application of glyphosate.
d. To help manage RR resistant volunteers rotate RR crops with conventional or
non-RR crops.
Principles of Herbicide Resistant Weed Management
Scout and know your field
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all
weeds present.
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and
growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct timing
for the weeds present in the field.
• Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed control,
harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
• Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for
control of emerged weeds.
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior to
leaving fields.
Difficult to control weeds
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that
allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different
management practices.
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence
herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action
effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
Do not overuse the technology
• Do not use this or any other herbicide with the same mode of action in a single
growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different mode of action which
provides overlapping spectrum for the difficult to control weeds.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 9
• Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
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; and
o Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is suspected
ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an effective mode of
action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed production.
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as tubers
or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest weed seed
management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed production.
Resistant Weeds
• Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent
to determine if weeds resistant to modes of action contained in this product are
present in your area.
• Do not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by multiple modes of action.
Premixes are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some
weeds may be controlled by only one of the active ingredients in this product.
• If resistant biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product,
apply at the labeled timing, and tank-mix with an additional different mode of action
product so there are multiple effective modes of application for each suspected
resistant weed.
Following a postemergence application of Halex GT Herbicide, susceptible weeds take
up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease growth soon after application.
Halex GT Herbicide is also absorbed through the soil and/or by the foliage of emerged
weeds. Complete death of the weeds may take up to 2 weeks.
When applied to glyphosate-tolerant corn, Halex GT Herbicide provides 3-4 weeks of
residual control of newly emerging susceptible weeds (see Table 1) through root and
shoot absorption.
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this
product to nontarget areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion,
avoid treating powdery dry or light soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion.
Under these conditions, ensure that the soil surface is settled by rainfall or irrigation
first. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted
surfaces. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to
treat nontarget crops unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between application
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 10
and the first irrigation.
USE RESTRICTIONS
1. Do not cultivate corn within 7 days before or after a Halex GT Herbicide
application as weed control from the Halex GT Herbicide application may be
reduced.
2. Do not apply Halex GT Herbicide through any type of irrigation system.
3. Do not apply Halex GT Herbicide with suspension fertilizers.
4. Do not apply Halex GT Herbicide to glyphosate-tolerant corn with urea
ammonium nitrate (UAN) as the carrier.
5. Do not apply more than 4 pt of Halex GT Herbicide per acre per year to
glyphosate-tolerant corn.
6. Do not apply more than 6 pt of Halex GT Herbicide per acre per year to grain
sorghum.
7. Do not apply Halex GT Herbicide to ground that has been or will be treated with
Callisto® in the same season.
USE PRECAUTIONS
1. Halex GT Herbicide can be applied postemergence to Glyphosate Tolerant (e.g.
Roundup Ready®, Agrisure™ GT) corn only. An application of Halex GT
Herbicide to a corn hybrid that is not Glyphosate Tolerant will result in crop
death.
2. When weeds are stressed due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or
prolonged cool temperatures, control can be reduced or delayed since the weeds
are not actively growing. Weed escapes or re-growth may occur when
application is made under prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control
will be obtained if an application of Halex GT Herbicide is made following label
directions when weeds are actively growing.
3. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is not received within 7-10 days after the
postemergence application, residual weed control will be reduced.
4. Avoid drift onto adjacent crops. Severe damage or destruction may be caused
by contact of Halex GT Herbicide to any vegetation (including leaves, green
stems, exposed non-woody roots, or fruit) of crops, trees, and other desirable
plants to which treatment is not intended.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 11
5. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if Halex GT Herbicide is
applied postemergence to corn crops that were treated with Counter®, Lorsban®
or other organophosphate containing soil insecticides.
6. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if Halex GT Herbicide is
applied foliar postemergence in a tank mix with any organophosphate or
carbamate insecticide.
7. Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any foliar organophosphate
or carbamate insecticide is applied postemergence within 7 days before or 7
days after Halex GT Herbicide application.
8. Severe corn injury may occur if Halex GT Herbicide is applied postemergence in
a tank mix with emulsifiable concentrate (EC formulation) products.
9. Halex GT Herbicide may be applied with pyrethroid insecticides such as
Warrior®.
10. Circulation before dispensing is required.
11. To avoid contamination, ensure that the spray system is thoroughly cleaned with
water and a commercial tank cleaner before and after each use.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
For best results, apply Halex GT Herbicide to actively growing weeds. For the best
protection of the corn crops yield potential, apply Halex GT Herbicide before the weeds
exceed 4 inches in height or length. Susceptible weeds which emerge soon after an
application of Halex GT Herbicide will be controlled for an additional 3-4 weeks.

were applied the year prior to planting peas and snap beans.
2Do not plant peas or snap beans on sand, sandy loam or loamy sand soils in
Minnesota or Wisconsin.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Refer to the CROP USE DIRECTIONS section for specific crop instructions. and listed
tank mixes.
For Ground Applications:
Flat fan (of 80 or 110) or Turbo Tee Jet nozzles will provide optimum coverage. Do
not use flood jet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for applications of
Halex GT Herbicide.
Nozzles may be angled forward or backward 45 to enhance penetration of the crop and
provide better coverage. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the
sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser.
Apply Halex GT Herbicide in a spray volume of 10-30 gal/A. Use a pump that can
maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi at the nozzles (check nozzle manufacturers
instructions) and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 16
Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When
weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 15 gal/A.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if spraying
is stopped for brief periods. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes,
resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
For Aerial Applications:
Halex GT may be applied aerially for postemergence weed control in Glyphosate
Tolerant corn and preplant or preemergence weed control in grain sorghum only in the
following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Aerial applications must be made in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre.
MIXING PROCEDURES
Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions
which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive
of label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed any label dosage rates. This
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
mixing. Do not tank mix Halex GT Herbicide with any other insecticide, fungicide,
fertilizer solution, or adjuvant not listed on the label without testing compatibility, as poor
mixing may result. Test the compatibility of any tank-mix combination on a small scale
such as a jar test before actual tank mixing.
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 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.
Follow the mixing instructions for adding Halex GT Herbicide to the spray tank:
Only use sprayers in good running condition with good agitation. Ensure the sprayer is
cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to Halex GT
Herbicide. Use only clean water for the spray solution. Ensure that all in-line strainer
and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser. Avoid using screens finer
than 50-mesh.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 17
When adding products to the spray tank, make sure each product is added separately
and thoroughly agitated before adding the next product. If using an induction tank, add
only one product at a time. For example, add water, then add atrazine to the induction
tank and transfer to spray tank, rinse induction tank with water, then add Halex GT.
1. Fill tank ½ full of clean water and start agitation.
2. Add ammonium sulfate (AMS).
3. Add nonionic surfactant (NIS).
4. Add atrazine make sure atrazine is fully dispersed before other products are
added to the mix.
5. Add fungicide (if applicable).
6. Add Halex GT.
7. Add EC products (e.g. insecticides) last. Be aware that adding any EC type
product will increase the risk for crop injury.
8. Fill tank with water to the desired level.
ADJUVANTS
For postemergence applications to Glyphosate Tolerant (GT) corn or burndown
applications to grain sorghum, add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1-2 qt/100 gallons of
water (0.25-0.5% v/v) to the spray solution. Use the higher rate of NIS when weeds are
growing under stress conditions (e.g. cool temperatures, dry weather, etc.).
In addition to NIS add spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5-17.0 lb/100 gallons
of water. When using liquid AMS products, use a rate that delivers an AMS equivalent
of 8.5-17.0 lb/100 gallons of water.
The use of Halex GT Herbicide with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) instead of
ammonium sulfate (AMS) will result in postemergence glyphosate-tolerant corn injury
and reduced grass weed control.
CLEANING EQUIPMENT AFTER APPLICATION
For best results, quantifiably pattern test each specific aerial application vehicle used for
aerial application of Halex GT initially and every year thereafter.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 18
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than
Glyphosate Tolerant corn or grain sorghum. Mix only as much spray solution as
needed.
Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
1. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gallon of household ammonia per 25 gal of
water. Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
2. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution.
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 re-circulate the
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. Remove all visible deposits from the
spraying system.
3. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning
solution.
4. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner.
5. Repeat steps 2-5.
6. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia
solution after completing the above procedures.
7. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or
vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot
safety.
• Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural &
Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
• If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed
is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement
upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the
windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the
wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for
helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan
for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 3 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
• Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural &
Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boomless Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural &
Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 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
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
• Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
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.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 21
• 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.
Boomless 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.
CROP USE DIRECTIONS GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT FIELD CORN
Halex GT Herbicide may be applied postemergence only in Glyphosate Tolerant (e.g.
Roundup Ready, Agrisure GT) corn for control of the weeds listed in Table 1.
When Glyphosate Tolerant corn is grown under no-till conditions, control all emerged
weeds at the time of corn planting with a glyphosate or paraquat based herbicide
program. Following a burndown weed control application and after Glyphosate Tolerant
corn emergence, Halex GT Herbicide can be applied postemergence to control the
weeds listed in Table 1.
PREEMERGENCE
Halex GT Herbicide is specifically formulated for postemergence in crop use and does
not contain a corn safener. Therefore, Halex GT Herbicide is not labeled for early
preplant or preemergence applications.
POSTEMERGENCE HALEX GT HERBICIDE ALONE
Halex GT Herbicide may be applied at a rate of 3.6-4.0 pt/A from corn emergence up to
30 inches in height or the 8-leaf stage of corn growth. Apply Halex GT Herbicide to
actively growing weeds listed in Table 1. For the best protection of the corn crops yield
potential, apply Halex GT Herbicide before weeds exceed 4 inches in height, length or
diameter. Use the higher end of the Halex GT Herbicide use rate range (4.0 pt/A) when
weeds are stressed or weed populations are dense.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 22
Apply Halex GT Herbicide with a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) and ammonium sulfate
(AMS). See the ADJUVANTS section for specific adjuvant instructions.
Visible effects on annual weeds occur within 2-4 days after application; effects on
perennial weeds may take 7 days or longer. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following
treatment may slow activity.
Weeds susceptible to S-metolachlor or mesotrione which emerge soon after application
of Halex GT Herbicide will be controlled after they absorb the herbicides from the soil.
The active ingredients in Halex GT Herbicide are in adequate amounts to provide 3-4
weeks of residual weed control extending through crop canopy. If an activating rain
(0.25 inches) is not received within 7-10 days after the postemergence application,
residual weed control will be reduced.
Applying Halex GT Herbicide at rates less than 3.6 pt/A may result in incomplete weed
control, as well as less residual weed control. Using reduced rates of Halex GT
Herbicide also increases the risk for the development of weed resist biotypes. See the
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT section of this label for specific instructions.
HALEX GT HERBICIDE SEQUENTIAL WEED CONTROL
Halex GT Herbicide may be applied as the postemergence component of a two-pass
weed control program. Apply Zemax (1.6 qt/A maximum rate), Lexar (2.25 qt/A
maximum rate) or Lumax (2 qt/A maximum rate) preemergence and follow with a
postemergence application of Halex GT Herbicide at 3.6-4.0 pt/A. Do not reduce the
rate of Halex GT Herbicide when applied in a sequential program with these mesotrione
containing products.
Halex GT Herbicide can also be applied at a rate of 3.6-4.0 pt/A postemergence
following a preemergence application of Expert®, Bicep II Magnum®, Bicep Lite II
Magnum® and Dual II Magnum®.
Apply Halex GT Herbicide with a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) and ammonium sulfate
(AMS). See the ADJUVANTS section for specific adjuvant instructions.
HALEX GT HERBICIDE TANK MIX WITH AATREX® 4L OR AATREX® NINE-O®
In tank mix with AAtrex, apply Halex GT Herbicide at 3.6-4.0 pt/A. If weeds are more
than 4 inches tall, or for improved broadleaf weed control add AAtrex 4L or AAtrex
Nine-O. Atrazine rates above 0.5 lb ai/A may result in glyphosate antagonism and
reduced grass control.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 23
Apply the tank mix of Halex GT Herbicide plus AAtrex with a non-ionic surfactant (NIS)
and ammonium sulfate (AMS). See the ADJUVANTS section of this label for specific
instructions.
When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with
Halex GT Herbicide to Glyphosate Tolerant corn, do not exceed an application rate of
2.0 pounds active ingredient of atrazine per acre for any single application and the total
pounds of atrazine applied (lb ai per acre) must not exceed 2.5 pounds active ingredient
per acre per year.
If no atrazine was applied prior to corn emergence, apply a maximum of 2.0 lb ai/A
broadcast. If a postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide
application, the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 lb ai/A per calendar year.
Do not apply any atrazine formulation if the corn is greater than 12 inches tall.
HALEX GT HERBICIDE TANK MIX WITH NORTHSTAR® CUSTOMPAK,
CLARITY®, DISTINCT® OR STATUS® HERBICIDES
Tank mix Halex GT at 3.6 to 4 pt/A + Northstar CustomPak herbicide or Clarity herbicide
or Distinct herbicide or Status herbicide + nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt/100 gal +
spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) for improved control of difficult broadleaf weeds
as a postemergence application in GT corn. Refer to applicable tank mixture product
label for specific application rates, precautions and restrictions.
CORN USE RESTRICTIONS
1. Pre-Grazing Interval (PGI): Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 45
days following application.
2. Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Do not harvest forage, grain, or stover within 45 days
after application.
3. Do not apply more than 4 pt per acre per year (0.1 lb ai/A mesotrione, 1.05 lb
ai/A s-metolachlor, and 1.05 lb ae/A glyphosate).
4. Do not make more than 1 application per year.
5. Do not make applications of Halex GT Herbicide past the 8-leaf stage of growth
(or >30 inches tall) in glyphosate-tolerant corn.
6. 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 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.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 24
CORN USE PRECAUTIONS
1. Temporary crop response (transient bleaching) from postemergence applications
to Glyphosate Tolerant corn may occur under extreme weather conditions or
when the crop is suffering from stress. Corn quickly outgrows these effects and
develops normally.
2. If additional glyphosate is tank mixed or applied sequentially with Halex GT
Herbicide as a postemergence treatment in Glyphosate Tolerant corn, refer to
the specific glyphosate label for in crop rate restrictions.
Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates,
approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled.
GRAIN SORGHUM USE DIRECTIONS
Halex GT can be applied preplant non-incorporated (up to 21 days before planting) up
through preemergence for weed control in sorghum. Halex GT will control the emerged
weeds listed in the Table 1 and will provide residual control of the weeds listed in Table
3.
The sorghum seed must be treated with a protectant that is effective for safening
S-metolachlor to sorghum. Applying Halex GT preplant or preemergence to sorghum
that is not seed protected for applications to S-metolachlor will result in crop death.
Applying Halex GT postemergence to sorghum will result in crop death.
Apply Halex GT as a broadcast non-incorporated spray at a rate of 4-6 pt/A beginning at
21 days before planting and up through planting but prior to sorghum emergence.
Applying Halex GT less than 7 days before sorghum planting will increase the risk of
crop injury, especially if irrigation or rainfall is received following the application. Injury
symptoms include temporary bleaching of newly emerging sorghum leaves or in
extreme conditions, stunting or partial stand loss. Applying Halex GT more than 7 days
(but not more than 21) prior to sorghum planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
If Halex GT is applied prior to planting, minimize disturbance of the herbicide treated soil
barrier during the planting process in order to lessen the potential for poor weed control
in the disturbed soil zone.
Halex GT Sorghum Split Application: Halex GT may also be applied as a split
application to grain sorghum. For a split application program, apply the first application
as a non-incorporated early preplant (7-21 days before planting) treatment followed by a
second Halex GT application as a preemergence application prior to sorghum
emergence. The total amount of Halex GT applied in the split application program
cannot exceed 6 pt/A per season.
Halex GT Herbicide
Page 25
For control of emerged weeds listed in Table 1, add a nonionic surfactant (NIS) type
adjuvant at a rate of 0.25 to 0.5% v/v (1-2 qt/100 gallons) to the spray solution. Use the
higher NIS rate of 0.5% v/v under adverse environmental conditions (high temperatures
and/or low humidity). In addition to NIS, a spray grade AMS at a rate of 8.5-17 lb/100
gallons of spray may be added to the solution for improved control of emerged weeds.
Halex GT can be applied sequentially or in tank mixture with other herbicides registered
for use in grain sorghum. Always refer to labels of the tank mix partners for use
directions, precautions and restrictions.
Restrictions:
1. Do not apply more than 6 pt per acre per year (s-metolachlor 1.57 ai lb/A +
mesotrione 0.16 lb ai/A + glyphosate 1.57 lb ae/A).
2. Do not apply Halex GT to sorghum grown on sandy soils (sand, sandy loam or
loamy sand).
3. Do not apply Halex GT to emerged grain sorghum or plant death will occur.
4. Do not use Halex GT in the production of forage sorghum, sweet sorghum
(sorgo), sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, or dual purpose sorghum.
5. Sorghum seed must be treated with Concep® III herbicide safener prior to
planting, or severe crop injury may occur.
WEEDS CONTROLLED IN GRAIN SORGHUM
When applied as directed in this label at 6 pt/A, Halex GT will provide preemergence
control or partial control the weeds listed in Table 3. Optimum weed control will be
obtained if Halex GT is applied according to all label directions.
If a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after application, weed control may
be decreased. If irrigation is available, apply ½ to 1 inch of water. If irrigation is not
available, a uniform shallow cultivation as soon as weeds emerge will provide improved
control.
