ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
washwaters or rinsate. Apply this product only as directed on the label.
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.
Groundwater Advisory:
Topramezone is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural
use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permea ble, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in groundwater contamination.
Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
table is shallow. Acetochlor demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected
in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground water
is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Surface Water Advisory:
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as a high potential for reaching both surface
water and aquatic sediment via runoff for several mont hs 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 topramezone and its transformation products 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.
Acetochlor has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff erosion.
Use practices to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product can only
be used in accordance with the Directions for Use on this label or in a separately published AMVAC Supplemental
Labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirement specific to your State or Tribe,
consult the State/Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

A. PRODUCT INFORMATION
215-18 is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) herbicide that provides systemic control or partial control of many
emerged broadleaf weeds and grasses combined with soil re sidual weed control in field corn (grown for grain,
silage, or seed) and popcorn. Use this product on conventional and herbicide-resistant corn hybrids. AMVAC has
not tested all inbred field corn lines for tolerance to this product. Before using this product, refer to seed company
recommendations for use on inbred lines of field corn. This product contains two modes of action.
Susceptible weeds will stop growing soon after application while complete control of weeds may take several
more days, depending on growing conditions, and weed species and size. When applied broadcast to emerged
weeds as directed, this product will control or partially control the broadleaf weeds listed in TABLE 1 and the grass
weeds listed in TABLE 2.
215-18 may be tank-mixed with other corn herbicides to provide both broader spectrum and residual weed
control. Refer to Tank Mixes in the Crop Use Directions. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all
products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Applications of 215-18 must also include recommended spray additives. Refer to Additives and Mixing Order for
directions in this label.

42015-18 herbicide minimum use rate of 30 fl oz/A is required for grass weeds listed as C=Control. When rates
below 30 fl oz/A are applied, a tank mixture of 215-18 herbicide and glyphosate is recommended.
52015-18 herbicide use rate of 40 fl oz/A is required for control of this grass weed.
1. Mode of Action
215-18 contains the active ingredients topramezone (HPPD inhibitor, Group 27) and acetochlor (very long chain
fatty acid inhibitor, Group 15). Topramezone is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is translocated to the
growing points of sensitive weeds, and controls weeds by inhibiting carotenoid biosynthesis. Temperatures and
moisture conditions which favor active plant growth and development are important for optimum topramezone
activity. Acetochlor is a root and shoot growth inhibitor that controls susceptible weed germinating seedlings
before or shortly after they emerge from soil. Acetochlor requires adequate soil moisture for optimum activity
and provides residual control of sensitive weeds. If an activating rainfall does not occur within 7 days following
application of 215-18, degree of residual weed control will be affected.
RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that 215-18 contains a Group 27 (Topramezone) and a Group 15
(Acetochlor) herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants resistant to Group 27 and Group 15 herbicides.
The resistant individuals may quickly dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in
the same fields. Follow appropriate resistance-management strategies.
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 9 of 22
To delay herbicide resistance, take as many as possible of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of 215-18 or other Group 27 or 15 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
growing seasons with different effective herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from different effective herbicide groups if such use is permitted at rates
that will control the target weed(s). Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are
unsure as to which active ingredient to use.
x Adopt a diversified weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation. Consider tillage (or other mechanical control
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates, precision fertilizer application methods and timings to
favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (e.g., weed-competitive crops or varieties or cover crops) and
other management practices.
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistant individuals.
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading
patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled
individuals of the same species. Prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an effective
alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent
movement of weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
between fields and planting clean crop seed.
x If a weed population continues to survive after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different effective mode of action (MOA),
if available.
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or AMVAC representative for additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific
crops and weed biotypes.
Also, for more information on Weed Resistance Management, visit the Herbicide
Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) on the web at http://www.hracglobal.com.
x For further information or to report suspected herbicide resistance, contact AMVAC at 1-888-462-6822.
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 10 of 22
2. Best Management Practices
Apply herbicides using proper application techniques, including application timing and appropriate spray volumes
for thorough coverage of weeds. Use full rates of 215-18 and any additional herbicides in tank mixtures, or when
using herbicidal and crop rotation strategies. In addition, the following practices should be followed:
x Use cultural (e.g., crop rotation) and mechanical (e.g., tillage) weed management tactics.
x Use crops with herbicide-resistant (HR) traits and/ or HR trait stacks for more efficient crop and MOA
rotation.
x Correctly identify weeds and know where the weeds are in your fields.
x Start with clean fields. Tillage or a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to
planting.
x Clean equipment to prevent the spread of weeds seeds.
x Use residual herbicides in pre-emergence and early post-emergence applications.
x Scout fields soon after herbicide application to identify escaped weeds, population shifts, and herbicide
resistant biotypes.
x Closely monitor problem areas in fields with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations.
x Control weed escapes by spot herbicide applications, rope wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds,
or other techniques to stop weed seed production and the accumulation of seeds in the soil bank.
Stopping weed seed development will decrease we ed populations from year to year and help prevent
major weed shifts.
3. Insecticide Information
215-18 does not cause interaction with soil-applied insecticides. It may be used sequentially with soil-applied
insecticides or in combination with foliar-applied insecticides registered for use in corn. Follow the directions for
use on the insecticide label.
B. ADDITIVES
Postemergence applications of 215-18 require the addition of an adjuvant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to
achieve optimum weed control. AMVAC recommends the use of a product which has been reviewed and approved
by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) Adjuvant Certification Committee.
ADJUVANTS:
x 215-18 alone Use methylated seed oil (MSO) at 1-2 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25% to 0.5% v/v) or high
surfactant methylated oil concentrate (HSMOC) at 1-2 pt/100 gallons of water (0.125% to 0.25% v/v). Use
a higher rate of adjuvant during periods of hot, dry weather and during periods of moisture stress. The
use of oil-based adjuvants increases the potential for leaf burn necrosis following application, however,
corn development and yield are not affected.
OR
x Tank Mixtures with 215-18 Use nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt/100 gal lons of water (0.25% v/v). NIS
is recommended when tank-mixing 215-18 with glyphosate-containing herbicides. Oil-based adjuvants
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 11 of 22
(MSO, HSMOC) may be used in tank mixtures with 215-18, however, use of these adjuvants can cause leaf
burn necrosis within a few days after treatment. Corn development and yield are not affected.
AND
NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE:
Add spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 to 2.5 poundslb/A or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN, 28-34%) at
1.25 to 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of water (1.25% to 2.5% v/v). Use higher rates during periods of hot, dry weather
and during periods of moisture stress. A liquid AMS product which delivers an equivalent amount of ammonium
sulfate per acre may be used. Commercial liquid solutions of AMS contain approximately 3.4 poundslb of
AMS/gallon.
C. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Tank-Mixing Information
215-18 may be applied in tank-mix combinations with labeled rates of other products labeled for the application
method and timing to corn. The tank-mix partner must be used in accordance with the label restrictions and
precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Do not mix 215-18 with any product prohibited for tank
mixtures. Refer to the specific crop section for rates and other restrictions.
215-18 is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding 215-18 to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank
is thoroughly clean, particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure corn was previously used.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the restrictions, precautions and directions for use on all included product labels. Users must follow the
most restrictive directions and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
215-18 is recommended to be used sequentially or tank mixed with other herbicides as part of a complete weed
control program. Tank-mix recommendations are for use only in states where the sequential or tank-mix product
and application site is registered. Refer to Crop Use Directions for more details and for specific tank-mix
restrictions. Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Directions for Use on all products included in any
tank-mix. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Do not use liquid fertilizer as a carrier for
postemergence applications of 215-18. Use only water as a carrier.

3. Compatibility Testing for Components
If mixing 215-18 with pesticide products not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture
prior to mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 15 gallons per
acre/A. For other spray volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows:
a. Place 20 fl oz of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1-
quart jar.
b. For each pound of a dry tank-mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons tspn to the jar.
c. For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank-mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.75 teaspoontspn to the jar.
d. For each 16 fl oz of 215-18 to be applied per acre, add 0.75 teaspoon tspn to the jar.
e. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten securely. Invert 10 times to mix.
f. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for
separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility.
If the tank-mix partners are not compatible, do not use the mixture in a spray tank.
g. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage
and Disposal section of this label.
D. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
215-18 must be applied to both emerged weeds and corn. Apply as a broadcast application to provide control of
emerged weeds as well as residual control of susceptible, emerging weed seedlings. Apply 215-18 by ground and
refer to Crop-specific Information section for application restrictions.
Make postemergence applications of 215-18 when weeds do not exceed size shown in TABLES 1 and 2 and are
actively growing. An adjuvant is required for best performance on emerged weeds; refer to Additives section for
details. Depending on growing conditions, emerged, susceptible weeds may take 14 to 21 days for complete
control. Herbicidal activity on emerged weeds may be delayed or reduced under extended cloudy and/or cooler
weather conditions, or when weeds are under drought and/or heat stress conditions.
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 13 of 22
215-18 should be applied a minimum of one hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation.
215-18 provides soil residual control of susceptible weeds. If activating rainfall is not received within 7 days after
application, residual weed control may be reduced.
Avoid disturbing (e.g., cultivation) treated areas for at least 7 days following an application of 215-18 to allow
maximum herbicide absorption and weed control. Avoid deep cultivation that will move dormant weed seeds
upward in the soil where seeds can germinate.
The applicator is responsible for any loss or damage that results from spraying 215-18 in a manner other than
recommended in this label.
Restrictions: If native plant communities exist within 30 feet downwind of the application, a 30-foot downwind
spray buffer must be maintained between the application and those native plant communities. The applicator
must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances regarding spraying.
1. Ground Application Methods and Equipment
Apply 215-18 with properly calibrated ground equipment in a minimum of 10 or more15 gallons of water per acre.
Use water volumes of greater than 15 gallons or more per acre per/A when treating larger weeds and/or dense
weed infestations. Slower application speeds generally result in more uniform coverage of targeted area and
better performance.
2. Cleaning Spray Equipment
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, clean all equipment using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner
according to the manufacturers directions. Triple rinse tanks and spray booms before and after applying this
product.
After using 215-18 triple rinse the spray equipment, including use of a commercial tank cleaner, before using the
equipment for a new application. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and
boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide disposal directions on this label.
3. Spray Coverage
Thoroughly cover emerged weeds with spray droplets to achieve optimum and consistent control. Dense leaf
canopies can prevent adequate spray coverage resulting in poor weed control. Use nozzles and pressures that
generate medium to coarse size spray droplets (250-400 microns). Use spray volumes which ensure coverage of
emerged weeds with 215-18 to maximize performance. Avoid using nozzles that produce very coarse, extremely
coarse or ultra-coarse spray droplets, as this will result in unsatisfactory weed control.
4. Spray Drift Restrictions
APPLICATORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT AND ADJACENT TO THE APPLICATION SITE.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift to adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation. Spray droplets
intercepted by susceptible plants from drift may caus e plant injury. Make applications when wind speeds are
approximately between 2 and 10 mph to avoid spray drift from treated areas. Do not apply when winds are gusty,
during temperature inversions, or when conditions will favor movement of spray particles away from the desired
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 14 of 22
spray target. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Consider using
agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives in accordance with product labels.
Ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers. Wind
speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
Sensitive Areas: Apply the pesticide when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
bodies of water, and known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g.,
when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Do not apply where possible drift to unprotected persons, or to food, forage, or crops that might be damaged and
thus rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
x User must only apply with the release height recom mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarse [PJ1] droplets in
accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
x 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 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
a. 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.
b. Pressure - Use the lowest spray pre ssure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume
and droplet size.
c. Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed
to reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level directly above the crop canopy and have minimal bounce.
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.
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 15 of 22
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Te mperature 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 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 spee d. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURIN G GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
E. RESTRICTIONS
x Do Not apply more than 40 fl oz of 215-18 per acre per year.
x Do Not apply 215-18 to corn which is greater than 11 inches in height.
x Do Not use liquid fertilizer as a carrier for postemergence applications.
x Do Not graze or feed treated corn forage, silage, fodder, or grain for at least 45 days after an application
of this product.
1. Rotational Crop Restrictions
The following rotational crops may be planted after uniformly applying 215-18 at labeled application rates. Do not
plant earlier than the specified interval, as crop injury may occur. Avoid over-applications by minimizing overlaps
of spray swaths and by switching off spray boom when turning (end rows). In the event of a crop loss due to
weather or other causes, any corn type can be replanted at any time following an application of 215-18. If 215-
18 was tank-mixed with other herbicides, the label replanting restrictions for these herbicides must be followed.

2. Use Restrictions
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground
water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground water is shallow,
may result in ground water contamination. On the following soil types, do not apply this product within 50 feet of
any well where the depth to ground water is 30 feet or less: sands with less than 3 percent organic matter; loamy
sands with less than 2 percent organic matter; or sandy loams with less than 1 percent organic matter. See the
figure for additional clarification.
This product must not be mixed or loaded or used within 50 feet of any
wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes,
perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes
and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged
abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked
mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this
product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or
containers within 50 feet 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 washwater, and rainwater 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 percent 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 containment capacity of 100 percent of the capacity
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 17 of 22
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 sites. States may have in effect additional requirements
regarding well head setbacks and operational area containment.
Do not flood irrigate to apply or incorporate this product.
Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of excess
pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system, unless otherwise directed by approved

these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen or
snow covered soils.
Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops
unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment, unless otherwise directed by approved
supplemental labeling in possession of the user at the time of application.
Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas:
Use low-pressure application equipm ent capable of producing a large droplet spray. Do not use nozzles
that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray vo lume to ensure adequate
coverage with large droplet size sprays.
Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 miles
per hour). Do not apply when wind velocity exce eds 15 miles per hour. Avoid application when gusts
approach 15 miles per hour.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid
spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during inversion
conditions.
Use of this product not consistent with this label may result in injury to ·persons, animals or crops, or other
unintended consequences.

F. CROP-SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
215-18 is for use in corn only. 215-18 may be applied for control of emerged weeds and residual control of
susceptible, emerging weed seedlings after crop planting. Target application to broadleaf and grass weeds which
do not exceed the maximum size shown in TABLES 1 and 2 under Product Information section.
1. Corn (field corn, seed corn, popcorn)
215-18 may be applied to field corn, seed corn and popcorn including both conventional and herbicide-resistant
hybrids of these corn types. Apply from corn emergence up to 11-inch tall corn.
215-18 may be used in tank mixtures or sequential applications with other products that are registered for use in
corn. If 215-18 is tank mixed with other herbicides, follow the label restrictions for the most restrictive of the tank-
mix products. Ensure that the respective tank-mix products are registered for use on the specific corn types being
treated, as not all corn products are registered on seed corn and popcorn.
2. Application Rates
215-18 application rate varies by soil texture and percent organic matter as specified in TABLE 3. Follow rate
ranges listed in this table for best control of emerged weeds and germinating weeds after application. Up to two
sequential applications of 215-18 may be made during a growing season. Applications must be separated by 14
days or more and must not exceed a cumulative total of 40 fl oz/A per year.

x Preharvest Interval (PHI) Do not make applications to field corn or popcorn within 45 days of corn
harvest (silage, fodder or grain).
4. Tank Mixes
215-18 may be tank mixed or applied sequentially to corn with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed
control and/or extend the length of residual control. Atra zine (Photosystem II inhibitor, Group 5 herbicide) is
known to enhance the activity of herbicides containing an HPPD-inhibitor (Group 27) such as 215-18. Atrazine may
be tank mixed with 215-18 at 0.25 to 0.5 lb active atrazine per acre for enhanced control of emerged broadleaf
and grass weeds. Higher rates of atrazine will provide additional residual weed control. To enhance control of
emerged grass weeds, 215-18 herbicide may be tank-mixed with glyphosate-containing herbicides. Follow
adjuvant recommendations specified in the ADDITIVES section of this label.
5. Sequential Uses
215-18 may be applied at rates specified in TABLE 3 as the second pass in a planned two-pass sequential program
in corn. If using other acetochlor-containing herbicides in a sequential program, do not apply more than 3 lb active
of acetochlor per acre during the season.
When applied in the second pass, reduced rates of Impact Core may be tank mixed with other postemergence
herbicides, including but not limited to, Impact, ImpactZ, Sinate, glyphosate and glufosinate for broader spectrum
control of emerged weeds.
If using other acetochlor-containing herbicides in a sequential program, do not apply more than 3 lb active of
acetochlor per acre during the season. If using other topramezone-containing herbicides in a sequential program,
do not apply more than 0.044 lb active of topramezone per acre during the season.
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 20 of 22
6. Crop Tolerance
Apply 215-18 during favorable growing conditions for optimum crop tolerance and weed control. Avoid making
applications during or following an extended period of cloudy days and cool night temperatures when crop is not
actively growing. Crops under stressful growing conditions are more likely to show injury response from any
herbicide application. Rarely, corn plants under stressful growing conditions and treated with 215-18 may show
transient leaf bleaching. Leaf burn necrosis can also occur under warm, humid conditions at application. Use of
additional herbicides and/or oil-based adjuvants in the tank mixture may increase potential for foliar burnnecrosis.
These symptoms are infrequent and temporary; crop growth and development are not affected.
