Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
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). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

|
||
g.
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs, in a manner that meets the
|
||
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides
|
||
(40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified
|
||
as specified in the WPS.
|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is
|
||
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate
|
||
water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
|
||
GROUNDWATER ADVISORY
|
||
The active ingredients, S-metolachlor and mesotrione, are known to leach through soil
|
||
into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. These chemicals
|
||
may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
-4-
|
||
SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
|
||
The product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water or through
|
||
ground spray drift. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
|
||
groundwater. 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 S-metolachlor and mesotrione 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.
|
||
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.
|
||
Mixing/Loading Instructions
|
||
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back siphoning into wells, spills,
|
||
or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.
|
||
Check valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on mixing equipment.
|
||
This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within 50 ft. of wells, including
|
||
abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing,
|
||
loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
|
||
equipment or containers within 50 ft. of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an
|
||
impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be
|
||
positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained
|
||
to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash
|
||
water, and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to
|
||
either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad
|
||
shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient
|
||
capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container
|
||
or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to
|
||
completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum
|
||
|
||
-5-
|
||
containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
|
||
application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be
|
||
maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not
|
||
apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Zemax is used in field corn and seed corn for preemergence and early postemergence
|
||
control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds.
|
||
Zemax is also used in yellow popcorn, sweet corn and grain sorghum for preemergence
|
||
control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds.
|
||
See Tables 1 and 2 for a list of weeds controlled. This product must be used prior to
|
||
weed emergence to effectively control most grass weeds.
|
||
Applied according to use directions and under normal growing conditions, Zemax will
|
||
not harm the treated crop. During germination and early stages of growth,
|
||
environmental conditions or other factors that favor poor or slow growth can weaken
|
||
crop seedlings. Zemax used under these conditions can result in crop injury.
|
||
Use Restrictions and Precautions
|
||
1. Do not apply this product thro ugh any type of irrigation system.
|
||
2. Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
|
||
3. Do not use aerial application to apply Zemax.
|
||
4. Do not contaminate irrigation water used for non-labeled crops or water used for
|
||
domestic purposes.
|
||
5. Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil
|
||
containing this product to non-target areas.
|
||
6. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
a. Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable
|
||
for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be
|
||
settled by rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
b. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted
|
||
surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils.
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANGEMENT
|
||
Zemax is a combination of mesotrione and S-metolachlor (Group 15 and 27 Herbicides)
|
||
and can be an effective component of a weed resistance management strategy.
|
||
Naturally occurring biotypes of certain broadleaf weed species with resistance to
|
||
triazines, ALS, PPO, Glycine (glyphosate) and HPPD herbicides are known to exist. If
|
||
|
||
-10-
|
||
biotypes of weeds resistant to triazines, ALS, PPO and glycine inhibitors are present in
|
||
the field, this herbicide should control them if they are listed in Tables 1 and 2.
|
||
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 su ch 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 more than two applications of 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.
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
-11-
|
||
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at
|
||
the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
|
||
and
|
||
• 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
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 the nozzles 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.
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or
|
||
coarser droplet size in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological
|
||
Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572.3).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or
|
||
coarser.
|
||
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped
|
||
for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend
|
||
the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.
|
||
Preemergence Applications
|
||
Apply Zemax preemergence with a carrier volume of 10-80 gals./A.
|
||
Postemergence Applications
|
||
Apply in a spray volume of 10-30 gals./A. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum
|
||
spray volume of 20 gals/A. Flat fan nozzles are recommended for optimum
|
||
postemergence coverage. Do not use floodjet or venturi type nozzles or controlled
|
||
droplet application equipment for postemergence applications. Use only clean water as
|
||
the carrier when applying Zemax after crop emergence.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Do not use aerial application to apply Zemax.

|
||
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 potential is to apply larger 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
|
||
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
|
||
minimal bounce.
|
||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
|
||
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for
|
||
spray drift.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
x 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
|
||
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to
|
||
reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
x Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
|
||
x 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
|
||
|
||
-14-
|
||
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.
|
||
x Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
x Drift potential generally increases with wind speed.
|
||
x AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could
|
||
affect spray drift.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
x Zemax herbicide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent
|
||
sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for
|
||
threatened or endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind
|
||
is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
|
||
ADDITIVES
|
||
Applications After Corn Has Emerged
|
||
When applying Zemax postemergence to corn, add either a non-ionic surfactant (NIS)
|
||
or crop oil concentrate (COC). When using a NIS, add at 0.25% v/v (1 qt./100 gals.).
|
||
When using a COC, add at a rate of 1% v/v (1 gal./100 gals.) or the equivalent of 1
|
||
gal./100 gals. The use of COC will provide more consistent weed control than an NIS
|
||
but may also result in temporary crop injury.
|
||
In addition to NIS or COC, a nitrogen based adjuvant may also be added to increase
|
||
consistency of weed control. The use of nitrogen based adjuvants (AMS or UAN) will
|
||
increase the risk of crop injury and can result in temporary crop injury.
|
||
Do not use methylated seed oil (MSO) with Zemax when applied alone to emerged field
|
||
corn, or when Zemax is applied as a postemergence tank mixture with other products.
|
||
Applications Prior to Corn Emergence
|
||
Any of the adjuvants may be used at a preemergence or preplant timing, i.e. where the
|
||
corn crop has not yet emerged, to increase burndown activity on existing weeds.
|
||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
Either water or liquid fertilizers excluding suspension fertilizers may be used as carriers
|
||
for preemergence applications. If fluid fertilizers are used, a compatibility test must be
|
||
done. Even if Zemax is physically compatible with a fluid fertilizer, constant agitation is
|
||
necessary to maintain a uniform mixture during application. Use only clean water as the
|
||
|
||
-15-
|
||
carrier when applying Zemax after crop emergence.
|
||
The spray tank must be clean, thoroughly rinsed and decontaminated before adding
|
||
either Zemax alone or with tank-mix partners. If water is used as the carrier, use clean
|
||
water.
|
||
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. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This
|
||
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such
|
||
mixing. Do not tank mix Zemax with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution,
|
||
or adjuvant not recommended on the label without testing compatibility, as poor mixing
|
||
may result. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank-mix combination be
|
||
tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing.
|
||
Use the Following Mixing Instructions for Adding Zemax to the Spray Tank
|
||
1. Only use sprayers in good operating condition with adequate agitation. Ensure
|
||
the sprayer is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior
|
||
to use of Zemax.
|
||
2. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water and engage agitator.
|
||
Agitation must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying
|
||
procedure.
|
||
3. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, begin to add the mixture
|
||
components
|
||
4. If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is used, continue agitation until completely
|
||
dispersed.
|
||
5. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, add it slowly to the tank.
|
||
Mixing and compatibility may be improved when a wettable powder or dry
|
||
flowable is diluted with water before adding to the tank. Agitate during the
|
||
procedure.
|
||
6. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly to the tank.
|
||
7. Add Zemax slowly to the tank.
|
||
8. Add any other liquid tank-mix products next with emulsifiable concentrates last.
|
||
9. Add an adjuvant last, if needed.
|
||
10. Complete filling the sprayer tank and continue agitation.
|
||
|
||
-16-
|
||
11. Apply as soon as possible after spray mixture is prepared. Do not leave mixture
|
||
in spray tank overnight without agitation.
|
||
If Zemax is added to the spray tank via induction, compatibility may be compromised. If
|
||
an induction tank (or similar equipment) is used, add each product separately and allow
|
||
each to disperse into the spray tank before adding the next product. For best tank-mix
|
||
compatibility, rinse the induction tank with water before adding each component.
|
||
It is recommended that Zemax not be added to the spray tank via in-line injection.
|
||
Compatibility Test
|
||
A compatibility test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of
|
||
Zemax with fertilizer carriers or other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray
|
||
volume of 25 gals./A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the
|
||
ingredients.
|
||
Nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers, excluding suspension fertilizers, may
|
||
replace all or part of the water in the spray. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within
|
||
the same analysis, always check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use.
|
||
Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with mixtures of fertilizer and
|
||
pesticides.
|
||
Compatibility Test Procedure
|
||
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of two 1 qt. jars with tight lids.
|
||
Use the same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the
|
||
test at the temperature the tank mix will be applied.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved
|
||
for this use (¼ tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pts./100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently
|
||
to mix.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative
|
||
proportions based on recommended label rates. If more than one pesticide is
|
||
used, add them separately as described in the Mixing Procedures section of this
|
||
label. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times
|
||
to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large
|
||
flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of
|
||
incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray
|
||
mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be
|
||
remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
|
||
the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving
|
||
compatibility: (a) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add ½
|
||
|
||
-17-
|
||
the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other ½ to the
|
||
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If
|
||
incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
|
||
5. After compatibility testing is complete , dispose of any pesticide wastes in
|
||
accordance with the Storage and Disposal section in this label.
|
||
Cleaning Equipment After Application
|
||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than
|
||
field corn. Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
|
||
Equipment Cleaning Procedure
|
||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal. of household ammonia per 25 gals. of water.
|
||
Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
|
||
3. 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 recirculate the
|
||
cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed
|
||
from the spraying system.
|
||
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning
|
||
solution.
|
||
5. Remove boom end caps and flush dead space areas, with water, then replace
|
||
caps.
|
||
6. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-5 in an appropriate manner, according to all local
|
||
State and federal regulations.
|
||
7. Repeat steps 2-6.
|
||
8. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia
|
||
solution after completing the above procedures.
|
||
9. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||
|
||

|
||
WEEDS CONTROLLED
|
||
Zemax applied as directed in this label will control or suppress the weeds listed in
|
||
Tables 1 and 2. Optimum weed control will be obtained if Zemax is applied according to
|
||
all label directions.
|
||
If a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after a preemergence application,
|
||
weed control may be decreased.
|
||
When weeds are stressed or not actively growing due to drought, heat, lack of fertility,
|
||
flooding, or prolonged cool temperatures, postemergence control can be reduced or
|
||
delayed.

CORN USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
Apply Zemax for preemergence control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds in
|
||
field corn, seed corn, sweet corn and yellow popcorn. Zemax may also be applied early
|
||
postemergence for the control of broadleaf weeds in field corn and seed corn. Do not
|
||
apply Zemax to yellow popcorn or sweet corn after the crop has emerged, or crop injury
|
||
may occur. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for a list or weeds controlled or partially controlled
|
||
by Zemax.
|
||
Zemax Application Timings
|
||
Burndown for Reduced Tillage Situations
|
||
In reduced or no-till corn and before the crop has emerged, Zemax can be applied alone
|
||
or in tank mixture with Gramoxone Inteon, Touchdown brands, Roundup brands or
|
||
other registered herbicide for burndown of existing weeds. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for
|
||
specific weeds controlled by Zemax. Read and follow all product labels for specific use
|
||
directions and information on weeds controlled. Refer to the ADDITIVES and TANK
|
||
MIX sections on this label for additional recommendations.
|
||
Early Preplant and Preemergence
|
||
Zemax may be applied early preplant (up to 14 days prior to planting) or preemergence
|
||
in field corn, seed corn, sweet corn and yellow popcorn.
|
||
Postemergence
|
||
Zemax may be applied in field or seed corn after emergence until the plants reach 30
|
||
inches in height or up to the 8-leaf stage of corn growth. Use only clean water as the
|
||
carrier when applying Zemax after crop emergence. Do not apply postemergence in
|
||
liquid fertilizer or severe crop injury will occur. Do not apply Zemax to emerged yellow
|
||
popcorn or sweet corn, or severe crop injury may occur. Refer to the ADDITIVES
|
||
section on this label for burndown adjuvant recommendations.

Zemax Programs in Glyphosate Tolerant Corn
|
||
Zemax may be applied early postemergence at a rate down to 1.6 qts./A in tank mixture
|
||
with a solo glyphosate product (e.g. Touchdown or Roundup brands) that is registered
|
||
for use over-the-top in glyphosate tolerant field corn (e.g. Roundup Ready or Agrisure®
|
||
GT Corn). To minimize weed competition with the crop, target the application of this
|
||
mixture to weeds in the 1 to 2 inch range. If the glyphosate product has a built-in
|
||
adjuvant system (i.e. the product label does not ask for additional adjuvant), only spray-
|
||
grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 lbs./100 gal. should be added to this mixture. If
|
||
the glyphosate product label calls for an adjuvant in addition to AMS, add a non-ionic
|
||
surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v and AMS to this spray mixture. Do not add urea
|
||
ammonium nitrate (UAN), crop oil concentrate (COC), or methylated seed oil (MSO)
|
||
type adjuvants to these mixtures, or crop injury may occur. Follow all directions for use
|
||
and restrictions on the glyphosate product label.
|
||
|
||
-24-
|
||
Alternatively, Zemax may be applied preemergence at a rate down to 1.6 qts./A as part
|
||
of a two-pass weed control system when followed by a postemergence application of a
|
||
glyphosate based product in glyphosate tolerant corn (e.g. Roundup Ready or Agrisure
|
||
GT Corn). When used in this way, Zemax will provide reduced competition of the
|
||
weeds listed in Table 1 for a period of 30 or more days, thus improving the timing
|
||
flexibility and effectiveness of the glyphosate based product application. Follow all
|
||
directions for use and restrictions on the glyphosate product label.
|
||
Zemax may be applied preemergence at 1.0-1.2 qts./A as part of a two-pass weed
|
||
control system when followed by Halex™ GT in glyphosate tolerant corn (e.g. Roundup
|
||
Ready or Agrisure GT Corn). Apply Zemax at 1.0 qt/A on soils with <3% OM and 1.2
|
||
qt/A on soils with >3% OM. Follow all directions for use and restrictions on each
|
||
product label.
|
||
Zemax Programs in LibertyLink Corn
|
||
Zemax may be applied early postemergence at a rate down to 1.6 qts./A in tank mixture
|
||
with Ignite and applied over-the-top in field corn designated as LibertyLink. To minimize
|
||
weed competition with the crop, target the application of this mixture to weeds in the 1
|
||
to 2 inch range. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be added as a spray adjuvant as
|
||
directed on the Ignite label. However, AMS should be the only adjuvant added to this
|
||
tank mixture. Do not add urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), crop oil concentrate (COC),
|
||
non-ionic surfactants (NIS), or methylated seed oil (MSO) type adjuvants to these
|
||
mixtures, or crop injury may occur. Follow all directions for use and restrictions on the
|
||
Ignite product label.
|
||
Alternatively, Zemax may be applied preemergence at a rate down to 1.6 qts./A as part
|
||
of a two-pass weed control system when followed by a postemergence application of
|
||
Ignite in field corn designated as LibertyLink. When used in this way, Zemax will
|
||
provide reduced competition of the weeds listed in Table 1 for a period of 30 or more
|
||
days, thus improving the timing flexibility and effectiveness of the Ignite application.
|
||
Follow all directions for use and restrictions on the Ignite product label.
|
||
Restrictions and Precautions for all Corn Uses
|
||
1. Do not apply more than 2.4 quarts per acre per year (0.198 lb mesotrione ai/A and
|
||
2.10 lb s-metolachlor/A).
|
||
2. Do not exceed 3.71 lb ai/A/year of s-metolachlor containing products
|
||
3. Do not exceed 0.24 lb ai/A/year of mesotrione containing products
|
||
4. Do not apply Zemax to corn that is greater than 30 inches tall or corn that is larger
|
||
than the 8-leaf stage of growth.
|
||
|
||
-25-
|
||
5. Do not graze or feed corn forage from treated areas for 45 days following
|
||
postemergence application.
|
||
6. Do not harvest corn for forage, grain, or stover within 45 days after a postemergence
|
||
application of Zemax.
|
||
7. Do not make postemergence applications of Zemax in a tank mix with any
|
||
organophosphate or carbamate insecticide, or severe corn injury may occur.
|
||
8. Zemax applied postemergence to corn that has received an at-planting application of
|
||
Counter® or other organophosphate insecticide can result in severe corn injury.
|
||
Environmental conditions that favor poor or slow corn growth will increase the risk or
|
||
severity of the corn injury.
|
||
9. Postemergence corn applications of any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide
|
||
within 7 days before or 7 days after a Zemax application can result in severe corn
|
||
injury. Environmental conditions that favor poor or slow corn growth will increase the
|
||
risk or severity of the corn injury.
|
||
GRAIN SORGHUM USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
Zemax can be applied preplant nonincorporated (up to 21 days before planting) up
|
||
through preemergence for weed control in sorghum that was seed-treated with a
|
||
safener that provides tolerance to S-metolachlor (e.g. Concep® III). For a listing of
|
||
weeds controlled or partially controlled, refer to Table 1.
|
||
Apply Zemax at a rate of 2.0 qts./A as a broadcast nonincorporated spray beginning at
|
||
21 days before planting and up through planting but prior to sorghum emergence.
|
||
Applying Zemax 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 Zemax more than 7 days
|
||
(but not more than 21) prior to sorghum planting will reduce the risk of crop injury.
|
||
If Zemax 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.
|
||
Zemax may also be applied as a split application to grain sorghum. For a split
|
||
application program, apply 1.0-1.25 qts./A of Zemax as a non-incorporated early
|
||
preplant (7-21 days before planting), followed by a second Zemax application at a rate
|
||
of 0.75-1.0 qts./A as a preemergence application prior to sorghum emergence. The
|
||
total amount of Zemax applied in the split application program cannot exceed 2.0 qts./A.
|
||
If weeds are present at the time of application, it is recommended that a nonionic
|
||
surfactant (NIS) type adjuvant at a rate of 0.25% v/v or a crop oil concentrate (COC) at
|
||
|
||
-26-
|
||
a rate of 1% v/v be added to the spray solution. In addition to COC or NIS, a spray
|
||
grade UAN at a rate of 2.5% v/v or AMS at a rate of 8.5 lbs./100 gals. of spray may be
|
||
added to the solution for improved control of emerged weeds. If weeds are not
|
||
emerged at the time of application, no additives are recommended.
|
||
Restrictions and Precautions for Grain Sorghum Uses
|
||
1. Do not apply more than 2.0 quarts per acre per year (1.75 s-metolachlor lb ai/A
|
||
and 0.165 lb ai/A mesotrione)
|
||
2. Do not exceed 1.68 lb ai/A/year of s-metolachlor containing products
|
||
3. Do not exceed 0.2 lb ai/A/year of mesotrione containing products
|
||
4. Do not apply Zemax to sorghum grown on sandy soils (sand, sandy loam, or
|
||
loamy sand).
|
||
5. Do not apply Zemax to emerged grain sorghum or severe injury will occur.
|
||
6. Do not use Zemax in the production of forage sorghum, sweet sorghum (sorgo),
|
||
sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, or dual-purpose sorghum.
|
||
7. Sorghum seed must be treated with a seed safener that provides tolerance to
|
||
S-metolachlor (e.g. Concep III) prior to planting, or severe crop injury may occur.
