inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean 
clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. 
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon 
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean 
clothing.
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or 
 aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in 
the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pes-
ticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE 
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in 
the WPS. Pilots must use cockpits in a manner that meets 
the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard 
(WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)].
Environmental Hazards
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 washwater or rinsates. This chemical is 
known to leach through soil into groundwater under cer-
tain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this 
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly 
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater 
 contamination.
Ground and Surface Water Protection
Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source 
con tamination, DO NOT mix/load this pesticide product 
within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and 
drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams 
and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. 
DO NOT apply pesticide product within 50 feet of wells. 
This setback does not apply to properly capped or 
plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervi-
ous pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas as 
described below.
Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed 
within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted 
on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight 
of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the 
pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface 
water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be 
maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container 
or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi-
cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or

uct 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 direc-
tions intended to minimize spray drift.
Endangered Species 
The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or other-
wise harm an endangered species or adversely modify 
their habitat is a violation of federal law.
To ensure the protection of known populations of threat-
ened and endangered plants when applying Distinct
® 
herbicide to pasture, rangeland, and noncropland sites:
1. Federal agencies must follow NEPA regulations to 
ensure protection of threatened and endangered plants.
2. State agencies must work with the Fish and Wildlife 
 Service or the Service’s designated state conservation 
agency to ensure protection of threatened and endan-
gered plants.
3. Other organizations or individuals must operate under a 
Habitat Conservation Plan if threatened or endangered 
plants are known to be present on the land to be 
 treated.
Apply Distinct only when the potential for drift to known 
populations of threatened or endangered plant species is 
minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive 
area).

Product Information
Distinct ® herbicide is a selective postemergence herbi-
cide for the control of annual and biennial broadleaf weeds 
and control or suppression of many perennial broadleaf 
weeds in field corn, popcorn, sweet corn, between-crop 
application, Conservation Reserve Program land, 
 noncropland sites, pasture, hay, and rangeland sites. 
Examples of noncropland sites include, but are not limited 
to: railroad, utility, pipeline and highway rights-of-way; rail-
road crossings, utility plant sites, petroleum tank farms, 
pumping installations, nonagricultural fencerows, and 
 airports.
Distinct provides suppression of annual grass weeds at 
appropriate rates. Emerged grass up to 3-inches tall will 
stop growing but may remain green for weeks after appli-
cation. Regrowth of grass is limited when crop canopies 
over row middles.
Distinct may be applied sequentially or tank mixed with a 
grass herbicide for a complete weed control program; refer 
to Tank Mixing Information .
Use of this product in certain portions of Oregon and 
Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004, Order for 
Injunctive Relief in Washington Toxics Coalition, et. al. v. EP, 
C01-0132C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please refer 
to http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc/index.html.
Mode of Action
Distinct is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is 
translocated to the growing points of sensitive weeds to 
provide postemergence control of emerged weeds as well 
as moderate residual control of germinating weeds. 
 Distinct controls weeds by auxin transport inhibition and 
auxin agonist modes of action. In addition, Distinct can 
complement the activity of other auxin-like herbicides such 
as clopyralid, picloram, and triclopyr.

5
Weeds treated with Distinct ® herbicide will typically dis-
play symptoms within several hours and be controlled in 
3 to 7 days. Control of larger annual, biennial, or perennial 
weeds may require additional time. Treated weeds will stop 
growing soon after application. Broadleaf weeds will dis-
play epinastic twisting and crinkling symptoms before 
becoming necrotic.
Weed Resistance Management
While weed resistance to herbicides is infrequent, popula-
tions of resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance 
management should be part of a diversified weed control 
strategy that integrates multiple options including chemi-
cal, cultural, and mechanical (tillage) control tactics. 
Cultural control tactics include crop rotation, proper fertiliz-
er placement, optimum seeding rate/row spacing, and 
timely tillage.
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to 
this product, follow these steps where practical:
• Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi-
cide program.
• DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for weed 
control during the growing season.
• Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and 
rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed 
sizes present.
• Apply full labeled rates of Distinct for the most 
 difficult-to-control weed in the field at the specified time 
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
• Use of preemergence herbicides that provide soil residu-
al control of broadleaf and grass weeds is recommended 
to reduce early season weed competition and allow for 
more timely in-crop postemergence herbicide 
applications.
• Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of 
action more than twice a season.
• Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or 
shifts in weed species.
• Report any incidence of non-performance of this product 
against a particular weed species to your BASF retailer, 
representative.
• If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a 
herbicide having a different mode of action and/or use 
non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as is practi-
cal, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
• For more information about weeds that are known to be 
resistant to dicamba go to 
www.Resistance-Information.BASF.US .
Additionally, follow as many of these herbicide resistance 
management practices as is practical:
• Use a broad spectrum soil-applied herbicide with other 
modes of action as a foundation in a weed control 
program.
• Utilize sequential applications of effective herbicides with 
alternative modes of action.
• Rotate the use of this product with herbicides having a 
different mode of action.
• Avoid making more than two applications of Distinct 
and any other Group 4 or Group 19 herbicides within a 
single growing season unless mixed with another site of 
action with an overlapping spectrum for the difficult-to- 
control weeds.
• Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or 
extension agent for find out if suspected resistant weeds 
to these sites of action have been found in your region. 
DO NOT assume that each listed weed is being con-
trolled by multiple mechanisms of action. Co-formulated 
active ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum 
of weed control. Some weeds may be controlled by only 
one of the active ingredients in this product.
• Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, such 
as mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops and 
weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed 
control program.
• Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before 
and after leaving fields suspected to contain resistant 
weeds.
• Manage weeds in and around fields during and after har-
vest to reduce weed seed production.
• Contact the local agricultural extension service, BASF 
representative, ag retailer or crop consultant for further 
guidance on weed control practices as needed.
Crop Tolerance
Labeled crops are generally very tolerant to Distinct appli-
cation. Temporary injury may occur under conditions of 
crop stress or rapid growth. Crop stress can be caused by 
drought, poor fertility, other pesticides (i.e. other herbi-
cides), or foliar damage because of hail, wind, or insects. 
Injury can be avoided by agronomic practices that pro-
mote good crop growth and minimize stress conditions, 
especially combinations of stress factors. Crop leaning 
may occur during periods of rapid growth but is usually 
temporary and dissipates within 7 days without subse-
quent yield reduction.
Crops growing under stress conditions such as drought, 
poor fertility, or foliar damage because of hail, wind, or 
insects can exhibit various injury symptoms that may be 
more pronounced if herbicides are applied.
Coverage
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf 
canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate 
spray coverage.
Cultivation
Avoid disturbing (e.g. tillage or cultivating) treated areas for 
at least 7 days following application to allow best herbicide 
uptake, translocation, and weed control.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean application equipment thoroughly using a strong 
detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the 
manufacturer’s directions. Triple rinse the equipment 
before and after applying this product.

Application Instructions
Best product performance is obtained when Distinct ® 
herbicide is applied to actively growing weeds. Distinct 
may be applied as a ground broadcast or spot spray appli-
cation or as an aerial application (only as directed) at a rate 
of 4 to 8 ounces per acre plus spray additive (see Spray 
 Additives). DO NOT make aerial application to corn. To 
avoid uneven spray coverage, DO NOT apply Distinct 
during periods of gusty winds or when wind speed 
exceeds 10 mph.
Weeds treated with Distinct will typically display symp-
toms within several hours and be controlled in 3 to 7 days. 
Treated weeds will stop growing soon after application. 
Broadleaf weeds will display epinastic twisting and crin-
kling symptoms before becoming necrotic. Suppressed 
grass weeds may display some epinasty and remain stunt-
ed and green.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
Use 2 or more gallons of water per acre. Select nozzles 
designed to produce a minimal amount of fine spray 
 particles.
The actual minimum spray volume per acre is determined 
by the spray equipment used. Use adequate spray volume 
to provide accurate and uniform distribution of spray 
 particles over the treated area and to avoid spray drift. 
Make aerial application at the lowest safe height to reduce 
exposing the spray to evaporation and wind.
Ground Application Methods and 
Equipment
Distinct, a wettable granule formulation, can be applied 
using water as the spray carrier.
Water Volume. Select an appropriate spray volume that 
ensures adequate coverage of the target weed species. 
Use higher water volumes when treating dense or tall veg-
etation. DO NOT apply less than 3 gallons of spray volume 
per acre.
Application Equipment. Use ground application equip-
ment that will provide good spray coverage of weed 
foliage. Exercise preventive measures to avoid drift onto 
nontarget areas.
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser 
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind 
at the downwind edge of the field.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles 
per hour at the application site. If the wind speed is 
greater than 10 miles per hour, the boom length must 
be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft 
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. 
Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of 
the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of 
the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet 
above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica-
tion height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind 
at the downwind edge of the field. DO NOT apply 
during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recom-
mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet 
above the products applied in ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser 
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles 
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications:
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser 
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles 
per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING 
OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY 
NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL 
CONDITIONS.
Importance of Droplet Size
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large 
droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest 
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray 
drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are 
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental 
conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom 
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger 
droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the 
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a

7
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle 
with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and 
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for 
the intended application. Consider using nozzles 
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce 
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the 
airflow in flight.
Boom Height – Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with 
the crop and have minimal bounce.
Boom-less Ground Applications
Setting the release height at the lowest effective height will 
help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
Release Height – Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray 
drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the 
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of 
the spray on the target area.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use 
larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Tem-
perature 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 applica-
tions during temperature inversions.
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID 
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND 
CONDITIONS.
Spray Additives
Adjuvants must be used with Distinct ® herbicide for 
 consistent weed control.
Nonionic Surfactant
(all uses)
Use 1 quart (0.25% volume/volume [v/v]) of an 80% active 
nonionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water.
Nitrogen Source
(field corn, popcorn, sweet corn, between-crop 
application)
For best results under most conditions, combine a nonion-
ic surfactant (NIS) with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). Use 
a minimum of 5 quarts UAN (28% to 34% nitrogen) per 
100 gallons. Spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) 
(21% nitrogen) may be substituted for UAN at a minimum 
of 5 lbs/100 gallons spray mix. Use high-quality AMS 
(spray grade) to avoid plugging nozzles. When using AMS, 
dissolve Distinct in the tank before adding AMS. Because 
most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to galvanized 
steel, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, rinse the 
entire spray system with water soon after use.
Methylated Seed Oil
(CRP, noncropland, pasture, and rangeland)
Methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentrate may be 
used at the rate of 1.5 to 2 pints/A. When using spray vol-
umes greater than 30 gallons/A, mix methylated seed oil 
(MSO) or vegetable-based seed oil concentrates at 1% of 
the total spray volume. Methylated seed oils may aid in 
deposition and uptake of Distinct for hard-to-control 
perennials, waxy leaf species, or when plants are under 
moisture or temperature stress.
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Add components in the following sequence using 
2 teaspoons for each pound of dry product or 1 teaspoon 
for each pint of liquid product of specified label rate per 
acre. EXAMPLE: 1 teaspoon per 8 ozs/A Distinct rate.
1. Water - For 20 gallons/A spray volume, use 3.3 cups 
(800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates 
accordingly. Use only water from the intended source at 
the source temperature.
2. Products in PVA bags - Cap the jar and invert 
10 cycles.
3. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable 
powders, suspension concentrates, or 
 suspo-emulsions) - Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles.
4. Water-soluble products such as Distinct - Cap the 
jar and invert 10 cycles.
5. Emulsifiable concentrates - Cap the jar and invert 
10 cycles.
6. Water-soluble additives (i.e. AMS, NIS, or UAN when 
applicable) - Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles.
7. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
8. Evaluate solution for uniformity and stability. The spray 
solution should not have free oil on the surface, or fine 
particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clab-
bered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, 
repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suit-
able compatibility agent. If the solution is then 
compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on 
its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix 
the ingredients in the same tank.

Mixing Order
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer 
tank 1/2 full of clean water.*
2. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained 
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait 
until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and 
the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before 
 continuing.
3. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable 
powders, suspension concentrates, or 
suspo- emulsions)
4. Water-soluble products such as Distinct
® 
herbicide
5. Emulsifiable concentrates
6. Water-soluble additives (NIS, AMS, or UAN when 
applicable)
7. Remaining quantity of water
Maintain constant agitation during application. For more 
information, refer to Tank Mixing Information .
* User may fill the spray tank from a nurse tank containing an AMS prod-
uct dissolved in water. For this method, thoroughly dissolve the AMS 
product before adding Distinct. Distinct must be thoroughly dissolved 
before adding additional products or additives. Verify that the AMS pre-
mix water alternative is compatible with other tank mix components.
Tank Mixing Information
Use Distinct sequentially or tank mix with other herbicides 
as part of a complete weed control program. Tank mix rec-
ommendations are for use only in states where the 
sequential or tank mix product and application site are reg-
istered. Refer to Table 1 and Crop-specific Information 
for more details and for specific tank mix restrictions. Local 
agricultural authorities may be a source of information 
when using other than BASF-recommended tank mixes. 
Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations 
and Directions For Use on all products involved in tank 
mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes.
Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop 
injury may result from mixing Distinct with other pesti-
cides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), 
additives, or fertilizers.

Crop-specific Information
Corn
Field Corn grown for Grain, Seed, or Silage, 
and Popcorn
Before applying Distinct to popcorn or seed corn, verify 
the selectivity of Distinct on the inbred line or popcorn 
hybrid with your local seed corn company to help avoid 
potential injury to sensitive lines.
Refer to Sweet Corn section for use on sweet corn.
Application Rate and Timing
DO NOT apply by air to corn.
Distinct can be applied at the rates and growth stages 
listed in Table 3 in all tillage systems (e.g. conventional, 
no-till, reduced tillage).
• Preplant Application in Reduced or No-till Corn - 
Distinct can be applied up to 7 days before planting 
corn at 4 to 6 ozs/A. When planting into a legume sod 
(e.g. alfalfa or clover), apply Distinct at 6 to 8 ozs/A after 
4 to 6 inches of regrowth. Allow at least 15 days before 
planting if using more than 6 ozs/A. Adjuvants must be 
used with Distinct for consistent weed control. DO NOT 
use crop oil with Distinct after crop emergence or crop 
injury may result.
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always pre- 
slurry Distinct in water before adding to fertilizer 
solutions. Add the Distinct slurry to the final complete 
fertilizer mixture. DO NOT add Distinct during the fertil-
izer mixing process. Always use good agitation while 
adding the Distinct slurry to liquid fertilizers; maintain 
good agitation until sprayed. Conduct a compatibility test 
with all components when using liquid fertilizers as a car-
rier for Distinct. Use of sprayable fluid fertilizer as the 
carrier is not recommended for application of Distinct 
made after corn emergence.
• Very Early Postemergence (spike through 4-inch corn 
stage) - Apply Distinct at 4 ozs/A.
• Early Postemergence (4-inch to 10-inch corn stage) - 
Apply Distinct at 6 to 8 ozs/A to provide knockdown 
and residual control through corn canopy closure. Apply 
Distinct early postemergence to minimize weed compe-
tition and maximize corn yield potential.
• Mid-postemergence (10-inch to 24-inch corn stage) - 
Apply Distinct at 4 ozs/A.
• Late Postemergence (Rescue) Application with 
Drop Nozzles - Apply Distinct at 4 ozs/A to corn 
24-inches to 36-inches tall when using drop nozzles. 
DO NOT apply when corn is within 15 days of tassel 
emergence. Avoid direct spray application into the whorl 
of corn plants or crop injury may occur.

10
• Split Application - Split applications of Distinct ® 
 herbicide may be made during a growing season. 
DO NOT exceed a total of 10 ozs of Distinct per treated 
acre per crop year. Allow a minimum of 15 days between 
sequential applications of Distinct.

Field Corn Tank Mixes and Sequential Uses
In addition to control of many broadleaf weed species, 
 Distinct offers herbistatic suppression of several annual 
grass weeds that may enhance overall control of your 
grass herbicide program. For commercial control of grass, 
use Distinct as a sequential postemergence treatment 
following a preemergence grass herbicide 
(e.g. G-Max Lite
TM herbicide, Outlook® herbicide) or in 
tank mix combination with a postemergence grass herbi-
cide (e.g. Accent
® herbicide, Option® herbicide).
Corn Tank Mix Restrictions and Limitations
Distinct may be applied sequentially or in tank mixes with 
other herbicides registered for use in corn (including herbi-
cides registered for use in corn hybrids tolerant to 
glyphosate, glufosinate, and imidazolinone) with the follow-
ing limitations:
• When tank mixing Distinct for use on popcorn, ensure 
the tank mix partner is registered for use in popcorn.
• When tank mixing Option, MSO at the rate of 1.5 pints/A 
may be used in place of NIS.
• DO NOT use Distinct postemergence in tank mixes 
with plant growth regulating herbicides such as those 
products that contain dicamba; 2,4-D; or clopyralid 
(e.g. Banvel
® herbicide, Celebrity ® Plus herbicide, 
 Clarity ® herbicide, Hornet® herbicide, NorthStar ® 
 herbicide, Shotgun® herbicide, Weedone® 64 
 herbicide). Additionally, separate sequential treatments 
with these products by at least 15 days.
• DO NOT use tank mixes with emulsifiable concentrate 
(EC) formulations of chloroaceteamide grass herbicides 
(e.g. Dual II Magnum
® herbicide, Harness® 
 herbicide, Outlook, Surpass® herbicide) after corn 
emergence.
• Distinct may be used sequentially with all soil-applied 
insecticides or used sequentially or in tank mixes with 
foliar-applied insecticides with the following limitations: 
DO NOT use Distinct in foliar-applied tank mixes with 
Ambush
® EC insecticide or Lorsban® insecticide. 
However, sequential treatments with these products may 
be used if applications are separated by at least 7 days.
Sweet Corn
Use in sweet corn not permitted in California unless other-
wise directed by supplemental labeling.
DO NOT apply by air to sweet corn.
Apply 2 to 4 ozs/A of Distinct for suppression of broadleaf 
weeds listed in Table 4. Apply when weeds are less than 
3-inches tall and when sweet corn is from 4-inches to 
24-inches tall. For improved spray coverage of weeds and 
to minimize risk of crop injury, use drop nozzles that direct 
the spray away from the whorls and beneath the leaves of 
sweet corn greater than 10-inches tall. Use only a nonionic 
surfactant at a rate of 0.25% v/v (1 quart/100 gallons) as 
the spray additive when applying this product on sweet 
corn.
Sweet Corn Restrictions and Limitations
• DO NOT apply by air to sweet corn.
• DO NOT apply to sweet corn without first verifying the 
selectivity of Distinct on your specific hybrid with your 
local seed supplier.
• DO NOT use Distinct on sweet corn grown for seed 
 production.
• If sequential applications are used, applications must be 
separated by a minimum of 2 weeks and must not 
exceed a total of 6 ozs/A per season. Sweet corn ears or 
forage may be harvested at 32 or more days after 
 application.
• DO NOT apply within 72 days of dry grain or stover 
 harvest.
Tank Mixes
Distinct may be tank mixed with atrazine or Basagran® 
herbicide for improved broadleaf weed control in sweet 
corn. DO NOT tank mix with other herbicides or insecti-
cides when using Distinct in sweet corn.

11
Between-crop Application
Fall Application
Following crop harvest and before frost, apply 2 to 8 ozs/A 
of Distinct ® herbicide to control emerged broadleaf 
weeds. For best performance, apply Distinct when 
weeds are in the 2-leaf to 4-leaf stage or when rosettes are 
less than 2-inches across.
Any crop may be planted the following spring, 120 days 
after application in the fall. Refer to Restrictions and 
Limitations for details on crop rotation restrictions within 
120 days and maximum seasonal use rate.
Spring Application
Apply 2 to 4 ozs/A of Distinct to control emerged broad-
leaf weeds in the spring. For best performance, apply 
Distinct when weeds are in the 2-leaf to 4-leaf stage or 
when rosettes are less than 2-inches across.
Following a Distinct application and a minimum accumu-
lation of 1-inch rainfall or overhead irrigation, a 30-day 
waiting interval is required before planting alfalfa, cereal 
grain crops, corn, cotton, grain sorghum, and soybeans. A 
120-day waiting interval is required before planting all other 
crops.
• DO NOT make Distinct spring between-crop applica-
tion in geographic areas with average rainfall less than 
25 inches, or in California.
• DO NOT exceed 4 ozs/A in a spring between-crop 
 application.
• DO NOT exceed maximum rate per season when apply-
ing both fall and spring applications to site. See Table 2 
for maximum rate per season by crop or use site.
• DO NOT apply additional dicamba-containing products 
(e.g. Banvel
® herbicide, Clarity ® herbicide) in tank 
mixture or sequentially in the same spring season.
Site-specific Information
Rights-of-Way, Industrial Areas, 
and other Noncropland Sites
Distinct may be applied by ground and aerial application 
methods at 2 to 8 ozs/A for broadleaf weed control in 
roadside, utility, pipeline, and railroad rights-of-way, and 
other noncropland sites; see Table 4 for weed list. 
 Distinct may be applied alone or with suitable tank mixes 
to broaden or enhance weed control. See Table 1 for 
additional information on tank mixes. Distinct may be 
used for postemergence broadleaf weed control in non-
cropland sites where total vegetation control is desired.
DO NOT apply more than 10 ozs/A of Distinct per sea-
son in rights-of-way, industrial areas, and other 
noncropland sites.
Pasture and Rangeland
Pasture and rangeland grass treated with Distinct can be 
grazed immediately after application or harvested for live-
stock feed 7 days after application.
Distinct may be applied by ground and aerial application 
methods [Alternate Text: by ground and aerial application 
methods with aerial only permitted in the states of 
 Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, 
Utah, and Wyoming] at 2 to 8 ozs/A in pasture and range-
land sites for postemergence broadleaf weed control; 
see Table 4 for weed list. Distinct may be used alone or 
in combination with other pasture/rangeland labeled 
 herbicides to enhance control of perennial weeds or com-
plement the spectrum of weeds controlled. See Table 1 
for additional information on tank mixes.
DO NOT apply more than 8 ozs/A of Distinct per season 
in pasture and rangeland.
DO NOT apply Distinct to small grains grown for pasture 
or to newly seeded grass. Established grass growing 
under environmental stress can exhibit various injury 
symptoms that may be more pronounced if herbicides are 
applied. Distinct may injure bentgrass, buffalograss, car-
petgrass, St. Augustinegrass, and velvetgrass. Distinct 
will severely injure alfalfa, clover, lespedeza, vetch, wild 
winter peas, and other legumes.
For Use in Intensively Managed Forage 
Grass, such as Forage Grass Grown for 
Hay, in the states of Idaho, Montana, 
Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and 
Wyoming
Apply 2 to 4 ozs/A Distinct in forage grass for 
 postemergence broadleaf weed control. Distinct may be 
applied by ground and aerial application methods. Aerial 
application is only permitted in the states of 
 Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.
Distinct may be used alone or in combination with other 
pasture/rangeland-labeled herbicides to improve control of 
perennial weeds or complement the spectrum of weeds 
controlled. When tank mixed with 2,4-D, DO NOT use 
more than 1.5 pints/A of 2,4-D.
For improved consistency of weed control, only use non-
ionic surfactant at a rate of 1 quart of an 80% active NIS 
spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v).
DO NOT apply Distinct to forage grass during, 3 days 
before, or 3 days after a frost/freeze event because poten-
tial crop injury may occur.

12
Conservation Reserve Programs
Distinct ® herbicide may be applied by ground and aerial 
application methods [Alternate Text: by ground and aerial 
application methods with aerial only permitted in the states 
of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, 
Utah, and Wyoming] at 2 to 8 ozs/A in established grass 
stands in Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP) or federal 
Set-aside Programs for postemergence broadleaf weed 
control. Distinct may be used alone or in combination 
with other CRP-labeled herbicides to enhance control of 
perennial weeds or complement the spectrum of weeds 
controlled.
DO NOT apply more than 8 ozs/A of Distinct per season 
in CRP land.
DO NOT apply Distinct to newly seeded grass. Estab-
lished grass growing under environmental stress can 
exhibit various injury symptoms that may be more pro-
nounced if herbicides are applied. Distinct may injure 
bentgrass, buffalograss, carpetgrass, St. Augustinegrass, 
and velvetgrass. Distinct will severely injure alfalfa, clover, 
lespedeza, vetch, wild winter peas, and other legumes.
Weeds Controlled
Distinct will provide postemergence control of annual and 
biennial broadleaf weeds and control or suppression of 
many perennial broadleaf weeds including ALS-resistant
1 
and triazine-resistant biotypes. 
Distinct provides suppression of annual grass weeds at 
appropriate rates. Emerged grass up to 3-inches tall will 
stop growing but may remain green for weeks after appli-
cation. Regrowth of grass is limited when crop canopies 
over row middles.
1 ALS (acetolactate synthase)-resistant weeds include those weeds resis-
tant to the sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, and/or sulfonamide family of 
herbicides.
