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
|
||

||
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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
management or IPM recommendation. Also for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide Resistance

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

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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
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.

|
||
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

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,
|

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.
