PRODUCT INFORMATION
Flufenacet 500 SC is a selective herbicide for control of many annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in field corn, white corn, corn
grown for silage, field corn grow n for seed, sweet corn, and soybean. Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied preplant surface, prepl ant
incorporated (mix into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of soil), preemergence, and early postemergence. Flufenacet 500 SC will provide its most
effective weed control when applied and subseq uently moved into the soil by rainfall, sp rinkler irrigation or mechanical tillag e prior to
weed emergence. Flufenacet 500 SC controls weeds by inhibition of very long chain fatty acids.
Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied using either water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier.
Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied either alone or in tank mix combination with additional herbicides. When tank mixing, always
observe all precautionary statements and limitations on labeling of all products.
Dry weather following preemergence application of Flufenacet 500 SC or recommended tank mixtures may reduce effectiveness.
Cultivate if weeds develop.
USE RESTRICTIONS
Flufenacet 500 SC is for use on field corn, white corn, corn grown for silage, field corn grown for seed, sweet corn, and soybean. Do not
use on popcorn.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

containment capacities do not apply to v ehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing / loading site. States may h ave in
effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray
mixtures or rinsates.
SPRAY DRIFT
1. When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
2. Applicators are required to use Medium droplet size (ASABE SS72.l).
3. Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
4. Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
The interaction of many equipm ent and weather-related factors determines the potential for spra y drift. The applicator is
responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift pote ntial is to apply large drople ts. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of se nsitive species nearby, the environmental
conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. 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 sections
of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest prac tical spray volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
larger droplets.
x Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for th e nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does
not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER- CAPACITY NOZZLE
INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
x Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
BOOM HEIGHT
Setting the boom at the lowest referenced height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets
to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
WIND
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many
factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator sh ould be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affe ct
spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temper ature inversions restrict vertic al air mixing, which causes small
suspended droplets to remain close to th e ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with lim ited 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 smoke from a ground so urce or an aircraft smoke
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, wh
ile
smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify
that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

POLLINATOR ADVISORY STATEMENT
This product contains an herbicide, therefore follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exposure
in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to the treate d site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinat ors,
including monarch butterflies (and larvae), birds, and bats.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Flufenacet 500 SC FLOWABLE HERBICIDE is a Group 15 Herbicide (inhibition of very long chain fatty acids). 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.
x Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.
x Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits and/or use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotation.
x Use multiple herbicide sites of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple SOAs during both the growing season and from
year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single SOA.
x Know your weeds, know your fields. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed
populations. User should scout before and after application.
x Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to
planting.
x Stay clean use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, pre-emergence or early post-emergence soil-applied
residual herbicides should be used when possible.
x Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, including timing, full use-rates and appropriate spray volumes.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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 for additional resistance
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee (HRAC) on the web at http://www.hracglobal.com.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
LIQUID CARRIERS:
Flufenacet 500 SC is a flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable fluid fertilizer. Compatibility of Flufenacet 500 SC or
its labeled tank mix products with these liquid carriers should always be determined prior to spraying. Refer to the SPRAYABLE FLUID
FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST (Appendix I) of this label to determine product compatibility in fluid fertilizer carriers.
Before mixing Flufenacet 500 SC and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely clean and free
of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipmen t is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clean w ater or
recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate.
For optimum spray tank mixing and efficacy, Flufenacet 500 SC is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an eductor system.
The proper mixing sequence for Flufenacet 500 SC and recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid carrier is as follows:
1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier.
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and co ntinue throughout mixing and application.
3. If the compatibility test in dicates the need of a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount of compatibility agent to the spray
tank.
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now.
5. Next add the specified quantity of Flufen acet 500 SC through the eductor or to the spray tank [slowly add Flufenacet 500 SC if water
or sprayable grade nitrogen fert ilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) are the carriers; for other sprayable grade fertilizers first check co mpatibility
and then either mix directly or preslurry in water depending in the results of the compatibility test].
6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or dry flo wable products in water, they may be added now.
If tank mixing these products in a sprayable fertilizer carrier, first make a slurry of the products with water and then add t he slurry
slowly to the spray tank.
7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank.
8. If tank mixing with Gramoxone Extra® , a glyphosate- contai ning product or Touchdown®, add the products to the spray tank.
9. If mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, ad d them after all other products have been mixed.
10. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier.
11. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty.
Flufenacet 500 SC and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. Do not allow mixtures
to stand for prolonged periods of time. Wa ter quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect how l ong the
mixture may stand before application.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
SPRAYER APPLICATION
Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply Flufenacet 500 SC and
the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom equipment. Use a pump with
capacity to maintain 30 to 40 psi at the nozzles, maintain adequate in-tank agitation to keep the spray mixture in suspension and provide
a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. If mixed with other labeled herbicides, the spray volume may be no less than the minimum volume
specified by the tank mix product or 10 gallons, whichever is greater. The use of screens to protect the pump and nozzles is recommended.
Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-
mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Refer to the nozzle manufacturer for additional
recommendations. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanic al agitation. Rinse the spray er
thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use.
Band Treatment: Flufenacet 500 SC and the labeled tank mixtures may be applied as a band treatment. Use the following formula to
calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatments:
Band width in inches X Broadcast rate = Band rate
Row width in inches per acre per acre
APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMING
Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied ei ther alone or in tank mixtures with or sequen tially with certain other registered and recomm ended
herbicides. Applications may be made preplant surface, preplant incorporated or preemergence. Flufenacet 500 SC may be used i n
either a single or split application program.
Preplant Surface: For use in conservation, minimum or no- tillage crop pr oduction systems, Flufenacet 500 SC alone or as a
recommended tank mixture may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 45 days before planting in corn and 14 days be fore planting in
soybeans. A split application is recommended for applications made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, where 2/3 of the highest recommended
broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture is applied initially and the remaining 1/3 is applied at planting. Treatments made less than 30
days before planting may use either a single or split application. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply the Flufenacet 500
SC treatment in tank mixture with a recomm ended nonselective foliar herbicide. If possibl e, do not move treated soil out of the row or
move untreated soil to the soil surface prior to or during planting, as weed control may be reduced.
Preplant Incorporation: Apply Flufenacet 500 SC alone or in combination with recommended tank -mixes as a broadcast spray and
incorporate into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil surface up to 14 days before planting. Avoid deep incorporation since red uced weed
control and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which provide uniform, shallow incorporation (example -finishing disk,
harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.)
Preemergence: Flufenacet 500 SC alone and its recommended tank mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a broadcast spray or
band application after planting of the crop but prior to weed or crop emergence. If we eds are present at the time of applicati on, apply
Flufenacet 500 SC with a nonselective foliar herbicide. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move Flufenacet 500
SC into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. Dry weather conditions following application may reduce weed control. If
adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days after applications and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or
shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/2 inch deep) will improve performance and minimize crop damage. Excessive rainfall or irrigation
after application may reduce weed control.
Early Postemergence: When used as an early postemergence treatment, Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied once per use season alone
or in combination with or sequentially wi th certain herbicides. Use of an adjuvant is recommended in some applications. Refer t o crop
sections of the label for specific information.
Special Applications: Fall Application (for use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Route 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north
of Interstate 70 in OH):
Following harvest of crops in the fall, Fluf enacet 500 SC may be applied to crop stub ble after October 15, when the sustained s oil
temperature at the four-inch soil depth is less than 50°F, but before the ground is frozen. This application is limited to only medium- and
fine-textured soils with an organic matter of 2.5% or greater and which will be planted to corn the following spring. The soil may be tilled
before or after application with incorporation depth no more than two to three inches following herbicide application. If a spring application
of Flufenacet 500 SC follows the fall application, the total Flufenacet 500 SC rate for both applications must not exceed 24 fluid ounces.
8
CORN (Field, Seed, and Sweet)
Flufenacet 500 SC flowable herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of most annual grasses and selected annual broadleaf weeds in
corn. A single or split applic ation program may be used and the product may be applied alone or in tank-mix combination with certain
registered herbicides. The following types of applications are allowed: preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, and early
postemergence. Most effective weed control will occur when the applied product is move d into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler i rrigation or
mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence from the soil.
For post-emergent use, the REI is 23 days. Exception: You may en ter or allow workers to enter treated areas to scout 3 days fol lowing
application as long as the worker wears long pants, long sleeved shirt, and shoes plus socks.
Special Precautions: Field seed corn inbred lines and sweet corn varieties may vary in their response to Flufenacet 500 SC. Do not
apply Flufenacet 500 SC to inbreds without first verifying with your local seed corn company (supplier) the Flufenacet 500 SC selectivity
on your inbred line.

FLUFENACET 500 SC USE RATES IN FALL, PREPLANT SURFACE, PREPLANT INCORPORATED,
PREEMERGENCE, AND EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
For FALL Application ( For use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Rout e 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north of
Interstate 70 in OH):
After October 15, when the sustained soil temperature at the four inch soil depth is less than 50°F, Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied to
remaining crop stubble following ha rvest. In conservation, minimum and no-tillage systems on soils having 2.5% organic matter or
greater, apply Flufenacet 500 SC at 22 to 24 fluid oz/A on medium textur ed soils and 24 fluid oz/A on fine textured soils. Apply before
the ground is frozen. The soil may be till ed before or after applicatio n with an incorporation depth no more than two to three inches
following the fall application. Minimize furrow and ridge formation in the tillag e operations after application of Flufenacet 500 SC. If a
9
spring application is made, the total rate of both fall and spring must not exceed the maximum total rate for corn, or illegal residues may
occur.
For CONVENTIONAL Tillage Systems With Applications Made TW O WEEKS OR LESS Preplant Surface, Preplant Incorporated
or Preemergence:
Specified Flufenacet 500 SC use rates are located in Table 1.
Rates are based on soil texture and organic matter and are for applications made within two weeks of planting and until corn emergence.
Do not use on peat or muck soils (soils with 20% or more organic matter.

FOR EARLY POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS:
FLUFENACET 500 SC use rates are located in Table 1.
FLUFENACET 500 SC alone and/or certain FLUFENACET 500 SC tank mixtures may be applied to corn from emergence through the
5th leaf collar growth stage. Begin leaf count with the first leaf (rounded tip). FLUFENACET 500 SC alone will not provide control of
emerged weeds. For control of emerged weeds, FLUFENACET 500 SC may be tank mixed with approved postemergence herbicides.
Read and follow all precautions/restrictions and directions on tank mix partner labels.
Corn treated with FLUFENACET 500 SC early postemergence may be harvested for forage (silage) 75 days or more after treatment.
Adjuvants for early postemergence:
The adjuvant types listed below may be utilized with FLUFENACET 500 SC.
UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) is commonly referred to as 28, 30, or 32%N. UAN can be used as an adjuvant in certain herbicide tank
mixtures with FLUFENACET 500 SC, or as a spray carrier for FLUFENACET 500 SC. Fluid fertilizers applied after crop emergence can
result in crop tissue “burn” symptoms. Using fluid fertilizer as a postemergence spray carrier to apply FLUFENACET 500 SC is not
recommended if fluid fertilizer burn is not considered acceptable.
10
Ammonium sulfate (spray grade) is recommended as an alternative to UAN as a spray solution adjuvant with certain tank mixture
partners.
When tank mixing FLUFENACET 500 SC with other herbicides be certain to select adjuvants recommended and compatible for use
with all herbicides included in the tank mixture.
FLUFENACET 500 SC TANK MIXTURES
Flufenacet 500 SC may be applied in tank mixture with certain herbicides to impr ove control of broadleaf weeds such as velvetle af,
common cocklebur and morningglory species. Mixtures may be us ed in either conventional, co nservation, minimum and no-tillage
systems. They may be applied with similar timings and methods as Flufenacet 500 SC al one unless specifically prohibited in the mix
partners product label. Three-way or multiple tank mixtures are permitted unless restricted by the product label. Refer to the individual
product labels for specified use rates, precautions and/or restrictions.
Herbicides recommended for tank mixtures with Flufenacet 500 SC include:
[Active ingredients and products added to the final printed label for tank-mixing may be selected from the following list:

SOYBEAN
Flufenacet 500 SC is a selective herbicide for control/suppression of most annual grasses in soybeans. Flufenacet 500 SC may b e
applied once per use season either alone, in tank mix combination with or sequentially with certain registered herbicides. The following
types of application are allowed: preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, and early postemergence. The preplant surface
and preplant incorporated treatments may be applied up to 14 days before planting. The most effective weed control will occur when the
applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence form the soil.
Do not graze or feed forage, hay or straw to livestock.
For post-emergent use, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 13 days.

APPENDIX I
SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST
A compatibility test is high ly recommended for all applications with liquid fertilizers. Prior to mixing products in the spray tank, small
quantities of each product can be mixed in proportionate quantities to evaluate compatibilities. The following test assumes a spray volume
of 25 gallons per acre. If other spray volumes are to be used, adjust the appropriate amounts of ingredients. To check for compatibility,
use the following procedure:
1. Add two inches of the liquid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) to a one-quart jar fitted with a tight lid.
2. Add the appropriate amount of herbicide. If more than one product is used, the recommended mix sequence is the dry herbicide
first, flowables next and emulsified concentrates last. For dry herbicides, add 1-1/2 level teaspoons/pound/acre use rate and for
liquids add 1/2 teaspoon/pint/acre use rate.
3. Add one pint of the li quid carrier (water or liquid fertilizer) to the jar. Place the lid on the jar and gently shake the jar for one minute.
Place the jar on a level surface and let it stand for 30 minutes.
4. Reagitate the mixture and observe the mi xture for signs of phase separation, flakes , particles, gels, precipitates, etc. If none of
these conditions occur, the mix is compatible.
5. If incompatible, use of a compatibility agent is recommended. Rerun the above test but first add a compatibility agent (1/4 teaspoon
is equal to a use rate of 2 pints/100 gallons spray mix) and gently shake the jar prior to adding herbicides.
6. If the mixture is now compatible, a compatibility agent should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate.
7. If the components of the solution are still incompatible, the mixture should not be attempted for use in the spray tank.
8. Contact your Bayer representative for further recomm endations on testing spray solution compatibilities.
