||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This product is toxic to non-target plants. Do not apply
|
||
directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or
|
||
to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
|
||
contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of
|
||
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in
|
||
wind. Follow precautions for use to avoid wind spray drift.
|
||
This product has a high potential for runoff after application.
|
||
Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are
|
||
more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. 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
|
||
for contamination of water from runoff. Runoff of this product
|
||
will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
|
||
forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control
|
||
practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface
|
||
water contamination.
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated
|
||
with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of this
|
||
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water
|
||
contamination.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a
|
||
manner inconsistent with its labeling.
|
||
Read entire label before using this product.
|
||
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 same area during application. For
|
||
any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the
|
||
agency responsible for pesticides.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||

||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
DiFlexx® DUO is a selective preemergence and postemergence
|
||
herbicide for the control of annual broadleaf weeds; control
|
||
and/or suppression of many biennial/perennial broadleaf
|
||
weeds and control of annual grasses found in corn (field
|
||
corn, seed corn, popcorn and corn grown for silage) and for
|
||
postharvest burndown weed control. Weed growth ceases
|
||
within hours after DiFlexx DUO is applied. Symptoms on
|
||
susceptible weed species include epinastic-like symptoms
|
||
on stems and leaves with tissues turning yellow and bleached
|
||
in color and soon becoming necrotic. Plant death generally
|
||
occurs within 7 to 14 days after application.
|
||
WEED CONTROL INFORMATION
|
||
DiFlexx DUO applied postemergence at recommended rates
|
||
of 24-40 fluid ounces per acre will effectively control a broad
|
||
array of important annual broadleaf weeds and grasses,
|
||
including biotypes resistant to glyphosate-, triazine-, auxin-,
|
||
HPPD-, benzoic-, and ALS-inhibiting herbicides (Tables 1-2).
|
||
Best control of annual broadleaf weeds is achieved when
|
||
weeds are less than 6” in height and actively growing while
|
||
the best control of annual grasses is achieved prior to tillering
|
||
and when grasses are actively growing. In corn, the addition
|
||
of atrazine at a minimum 0.5 lb ai/A will improve control of
|
||
annual broadleaf weeds and increase the speed, spectrum,
|
||
and consistency of grass control. DiFlexx DUO applied
|
||
postemergence at 24-40 fluid ounces per acre will also
|
||
control or suppress many biennial/perennial broadleaf weeds
|
||
(Tables 3-4). As a preemergence application, DiFlexx DUO
|
||
will provide suppression/control of certain annual broadleaf
|
||
and grass weeds (Table 5) but will generally not provide
|
||
season-long residual weed control. Preemergence applications
|
||
of DiFlexx DUO should always be either tank mixed with
|
||
additional registered residual preemergence herbicides (see
|
||
Preemergence tank mix section) or be followed by a planned
|
||
postemergence herbicide application program for improved
|
||
weed control. Always follow the most restrictive use rates and
|
||
use instructions listed on the labeling of all tank mix partners.

|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Cultivation can help remove suppressed weeds or multiple flushing weeds. However, cultivation
|
||
should not be performed within 7 days of an application of DiFlexx DUO as this could decrease
|
||
effectiveness of weed control due to disruption of herbicide translocation in the plant.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
DiFlexx DUO is a Group 4 and Group 27 herbicide. 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.
|
||
• Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management.
|
||
• Rotate Herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide tolerant traits and or use HT trait stacks
|
||
for more efficient rotations.
|
||
• Rotate and tankmix modes of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple MOAs during both
|
||
the growing season and from year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single MOA.
|
||
• Know your weeds, know your field. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult to
|
||
control weeds or dense weed populations.
|
||
• Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can
|
||
control emerged weeds prior to planting.
|
||
• Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, a preemergence or early
|
||
postemergence soil – applied residual herbicide should be used.
|
||
• Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, correct timing, full-use rates and
|
||
appropriate spray volumes.
|
||
• Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide application, row wicking, cultivation, hand
|
||
removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed production and improve weed
|
||
management.
|
||
• Zero Tolerance – reduce the weed 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.
|
||
• Clean Equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide resistant weeds and seeds.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisory and /or Bayer CropScience
|
||
representative (1-844-RRXtend) for additional resistance management or IPM recommendation.
|
||

|
||
ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS
|
||
The interval between application and planting rotational crops is shown in Table 6. If a corn
|
||
crop has been destroyed by hail or other means soon after a DiFlexx DUO application, field corn,
|
||
seed corn, popcorn and corn grown for silage may be replanted immediately. Other crops may
|
||
be replanted at the intervals specified in Table 6. Planting rotational crops at intervals less than
|
||
those specified in Table 6 may result in crop injury. Moisture is essential for the degradation
|
||
of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather prevails, use cultivation to allow herbicide contact with
|
||
moist soiI.

dry beans must total 20 inches. Furrow or flood irrigation cannot be included in the total. The
|
||
amount of cumulative precipitation required before planting a rotational crop is in addition to
|

the required rotational interval given in months.
|
||
2 Thorough tillage should follow the crop in which DiFlexx DUO was used and precede the rotation
|
||
to sugar beets.
|
||
3 This plantback interval requires that onion crops be grown under irrigated conditions. The
|
||
plantback interval for non-irrigated onion is 18 months
|
||
4 All other crops may be seeded only after the completion of a successful bioassay after a DiFlexx
|
||
DUO application. Refer to the “Field/small scale bioassay” section.
|
||
COVER CROPS
|
||
Use of cover crops as a means of soil improvement, erosion control, weed and/or insect
|
||
suppression, etc., following harvest of corn in the fall is increasing. Planting of cover crops
|
||
in fields treated with DiFlexx DUO is allowed as long as these cover crops are not grazed by
|
||
livestock nor harvested for food. Cover crops are to be tilled under or chemically controlled
|
||
with burndown herbicides in the spring. Cover crops can be planted within 90-120 days after
|
||
application of DiFlexx DUO. However, all potential cover crops have not been evaluated for
|
||
tolerance to DiFlexx DUO and significant injury may occur. Prior to seeding a cover crop, complete
|
||
a successful field/ small scale bioassay to provide an indication of the level of tolerance to the
|
||
prior DiFlexx DUO application. Refer to the “Field/ Small Scale Bioassay” section. If used in tank
|
||
mixtures with other herbicides, always follow the most restrictive label.
|
||
FIELD/SMALL SCALE BIOASSAY
|
||
A field/ small scale bioassay must be completed before rotating to a cover crop other than those
|
||
specified in the “Rotational Crop Restrictions” section of this label. To conduct an effective field
|
||
bioassay, grow strips of the crop(s) you intend to grow the following season in a field previously
|
||
treated with DiFlexx DUO. The test strip should be placed in a controlled area and should include
|
||
low areas and knolls, and include variations in soil such as type and pH. Crop response to the
|
||
bioassay will determine if the crop(s) grown in the test strips can be grown safely in the areas
|
||
previously treated with DiFlexx DUO.
|
||
For an effective small scale bioassay, collect uniform samples of all soil types from the
|
||
DiFlexx DUO - treated field (see example above for types of soil in the sample) and place the
|
||
soil into a sturdy container. Plant the desired cover crop into the soil, apply water and place the
|
||
container in a warm, sunny area to allow germination and growth of the crop. Monitor growth of
|
||
the cover crop over a three to four week period. If the cover crop emerges and grows normally,
|
||
the risk to establish and grow the cover crop in the DiFlexx DUO -treated field should be tolerable.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Spray drift may result in injury to non-target crops or vegetation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT
|
||
apply when wind speed is greater than 10 MPH or during periods of temperature inversions.
|
||
DO NOT apply when weather conditions, wind speed or wind direction may cause spray drift
|
||
to non-target areas.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
Only apply this product when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential
|
||
areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is
|
||
minimal (e.g. when wind is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from sensitive areas).
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction
|
||
of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The
|
||
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making
|
||
decisions.
|
||
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons, or to food,
|
||
forage, or other plantings that might be damaged, as crops thereof may be rendered unfit for
|
||
sale, use or consumption.
|
||
Information on Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift
|
||
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that still provide sufficient weed coverage
|
||
and control. Applying larger droplets will reduce drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
|
||
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind,
|
||
Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversion sections below).
|
||
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Select nozzles
|
||
and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs
|
||
and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE spray droplets may
|
||
be used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain
|
||
coverage of weeds.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size
|
||
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles
|
||
with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
|
||
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many
|
||
nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed,
|
||
use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
• 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. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the
|
||
lowest drift.
|
||
Application Height
|
||
For ground boom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 15 inches above the ground
|
||
or crop canopy.

|
||
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph.
|
||
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment
|
||
type determine drift potential at any given speed. NOTE: Local
|
||
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should
|
||
be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray
|
||
drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in low relative humidity, set
|
||
up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate
|
||
for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when
|
||
conditions are both hot and dry. Avoid spraying during
|
||
conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
|
||
Temperature Inversion
|
||
Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversion.
|
||
Temperature inversion restricts vertical air mixing, which
|
||
causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
|
||
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to
|
||
the light variable winds common during inversion. Temperature
|
||
inversion is characterized by an increasing temperature with
|
||
altitude and is common on nights with limited cloud cover and
|
||
light to no wind. It begins to form as the sun sets and often
|
||
continues into the morning. Its presence can be indicated by
|
||
ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversion can also
|
||
be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source.
|
||
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.
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
DiFlexx DUO may be applied either preplant/preemergence
|
||
burndown, preemergence or postemergence by ground
|
||
equipment only. DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO by air or through
|
||
any type of irrigation system. Use application equipment that
|
||
will provide uniform, thorough spray coverage of weed foliage
|
||
to achieve consistent weed control. DiFlexx DUO mixtures
|
||
should be sprayed within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product
|
||
degradation. DiFlexx DUO is rain fast within 4 hours after
|
||
application to most weed species.
|
||
WATER VOLUME AND NOZZLES
|
||
DiFlexx DUO can be applied using a minimum of 10 gallons of
|
||
water per acre (unless a higher volume is specified for a tank-
|
||
mix partner). For weed control in dense weed populations or
|
||
under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water per
|
||
acre is recommended. Good coverage is essential to achieve
|
||
optimum weed control.
|
||
Select nozzles and a spray pressure that deliver MEDIUM
|
||
spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs
|
||
and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that
|
||
deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce spray
|
||
drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to
|
||
maintain coverage of weeds. Flat fan nozzles of 80° or 110°
|
||
are recommended for optimum postemergence coverage.
|
||
Typically, flat-fan nozzles operated at 30-60 PSI will deliver
|
||
MEDIUM spray droplets, providing optimum spray coverage and
|
||
canopy penetration. Lower pressure operation and/or higher
|
||
volume flat fan nozzles typically deliver COARSE sprays. Refer
|
||
to nozzle manufacturer catalogs.
|
||
• Boom height should be based on the height of the crop
|
||
– at least 15 inches above the crop canopy.
|
||
• Air induction nozzles should be used at or near 80 psi to
|
||
produce a medium droplet size.
|
||
• Proper agitation should be maintained within the tank to
|
||
keep the product dispersed.
|
||
• See the Spray Drift Management section of this label for
|
||
additional information on proper application of DiFlexx
|
||
DUO.
|
||
DO NOT use nozzles that produce FINE (e.g. - Cone) or EXTRA
|
||
COARSE (e.g. - Flood jet) spray droplets.
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING OF MIXTURES
|
||
If DiFlexx DUO is to be tank mixed with other pesticides,
|
||
compatibility must be tested prior to mixing. To test for
|
||
compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount
|
||
(0.5 to 1qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same
|
||
ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical
|
||
incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying.
|
||
Indications of incompatibility usually occur within 5-15 minutes
|
||
after mixing. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels,
|
||
oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and
|
||
the tank mix combination should not be used.
|
||
SPRAY TANK MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
DiFlexx DUO must be applied with clean and properly calibrated
|
||
equipment. Prior to adding DiFlexx DUO, ensure that the spray
|
||
tank, filters and nozzles have been thoroughly cleaned and that
|
||
agitation system is properly working.
|
||
1. Fill spray tank with 50% of the required volume of water,
|
||
and begin agitation.
|
||
2. Agitate the DiFlexx DUO product container thoroughly
|
||
by shaking, circulating or stirring prior to adding the
|
||
herbicide into the spray tank.
|
||
3. Add the appropriate amount of DiFlexx DUO slowly to
|
||
the spray tank or mixing system and ensure complete
|
||
dispersion. Maintain and ensure thorough dispersion and
|
||
sufficient agitation during both mixing and spraying.
|
||
4. If tank mixing with another pesticide, add the tank mix
|
||
product next.
|
||
5. Add the adjuvant.
|
||
6. Fill the spray tank with balance of water needed.
|
||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||
DiFlexx DUO is a suspension concentrate that requires the use
|
||
of an external surfactant to achieve optimum weed control
|
||
when applied postemergence or when applied preplant or
|
||
preemergence if weeds are present. Agriculturally approved
|
||
drift reducing additives may also be used.
|
||
Surfactant
|
||
The use of a Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) or Crop Oil Concentrate
|
||
(COC) is recommended when DiFlexx DUO is used or when
|
||
alternative adjuvants are not otherwise specified on this label.
|
||
MSO or COC can improve control of weeds under stress, in high
|
||
populations, in mixed grass and broadleaf weed populations,
|
||
and under conditions of low humidity. Use MSO or COC at
|
||
1 gallon per 100 gallons of water (1% v/v). The MSO or COC
|
||
should contain at least 80% MSO or COC and 10% emulsifier
|
||
or greater.
|
||
As an alternative to traditional MSO or COC surfactants, High
|
||
Surfactant oil Concentrates (HSOC) at recommended rates may
|
||
be used with DiFlexx DUO. An HSOC is an emulsifiable oil based
|
||
product containing 25-50% surfactant (wt/wt) in a minimum of
|
||
50% oil (wt/wt). The oil concentrates in HSOC can be based on
|
||
MSO or COC. MSO or COC based products are preferred with
|
||
DiFlexx DUO particularly when used alone or with atrazine.
|
||
SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT PROCEDURES
|
||
(Cleaning Equipment after DiFlexx DUO Application)
|
||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before
|
||
spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much cleaning
|
||
solution as needed.
|
||
1. Remove, dump and clean main sump and boom strainers
|
||
in a standard commercial tank cleaner solution.
|
||
2. Disassemble nozzle bodies including screens, gaskets,
|
||
and diaphragm caps and clean in a standard commercial
|
||
tank cleaner solution.
|
||
3. Rinse walls of tank and all surfaces of tank to remove
|
||
visible residue.
|
||
4. Reassemble nozzles and strainers.
|
||
5. Flush the system with clean water.
|
||
6. Add 25-50 gallons of water to spray tank. Add 1-2 gallons
|
||
of household bleach to spray tank (1 gallon bleach for
|
||
25 gallons water). Start agitation in the sprayer and
|
||
re-circulate the bleach-containing solution for 15 minutes.
|
||
7. Spray out the bleach-containing solution until the tank is
|
||
empty.
|
||
8. Rinse machine with clean water.
|
||
9. Dispose of all rinsate in an appropriate manner.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
|
||
• DiFlexx DUO mixtures should be sprayed within
|
||
24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
• DiFlexx DUO is rain fast within 4 hours after application
|
||
to most weed species.
|
||
• DiFlexx DUO Herbicide weed control may be reduced if:
|
||
o Rainfall occurs within 4 hours of application
|
||
o Weeds are dust covered or in the presence
|
||
of heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain at time of
|
||
application
|
||
• Weeds are stressed and not actively growing due to
|
||
drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or prolonged
|
||
cool temperatures at time of application
|
||
• Avoid drift of DiFlexx DUO onto adjacent crops.
|
||
• Refer to the Resistance Management section of this
|
||
label for specific precautions to help prevent weed
|
||
resistance to this product.
|
||
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE
|
||
• DO NOT apply when wind causes drift to off-site
|
||
vegetation as injury may occur. DiFlexx DUO delivered
|
||
via drift or tank contamination can cause severe
|
||
damage to other crops. Careful management of spray
|
||
drift and tank cleanout is required.
|
||
• DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO with liquid fertilizers as the
|
||
primary spray carrier. Only apply with water as the
|
||
primary spray carrier plus recommended adjuvants.
|
||
• DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO by air or through any type
|
||
of irrigation system.
|
||
SPECIFIC CROP USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
DiFlexx DUO can be applied by ground equipment for
|
||
preplant/preemergence burndown, preemergence or
|
||
postemergence weed control in field corn, seed corn, popcorn
|
||
and corn grown for silage. DiFlexx DUO is not for use on sweet
|
||
corn. Best results are obtained when the product is applied
|
||
postemergence to young, actively growing weeds. DiFlexx DUO
|
||
will affect weeds that are larger than the recommended height;
|
||
however it may result in incomplete weed control.
|
||
DiFlexx DUO should be a part of an integrated pest control
|
||
program that may include herbicides, insecticides and/or
|
||
fungicide applied prior to, in tank mix with, or following a
|
||
DiFlexx DUO application. When using tank mix or sequential
|
||
applications with DiFlexx DUO, always follow the companion
|
||
product label to determine specific use rates, application
|
||
timings and pests controlled. In addition, follow precautions
|
||
and restrictions including state and local use restrictions that
|
||
may apply to specific products. Always follow the directions of
|
||
the most restrictive label.
|
||
CORN Specific Precautions and Restrictions
|
||
• Corn (field seed, pop and silage) can be planted
|
||
immediately after an application of DiFlexx DUO. DO
|
||
NOT plant other rotational crops immediately following
|
||
DiFlexx DUO application. For all other crops refer to the
|
||
Rotational Crop Restrictions section of this label.
|
||
• Plant corn at least 1 ½ inches deep. Corn seed must be
|
||
completely covered with soil and furrow firmed.
|
||
• In rare instances, applications of DiFlexx DUO during
|
||
periods of rapid growth may result in temporary leaning
|
||
of the crop. Corn will usually become erect within
|
||
3 - 7 days. Cultivation should be delayed until after the
|
||
corn is growing normally to avoid potential stalk breakage.
|
||
• Seed Corn and Popcorn Only - Herbicide sensitivity in all
|
||
hybrids and inbreeds of seed corn and popcorn has not
|
||
been tested. Consult with your seed provider for advice
|
||
on hybrid/inbred tolerance before applying DiFlexx DUO.
|
||
If the tolerance of a hybrid/inbred is not known, apply
|
||
DiFlexx DUO to a small area to first determine if the
|
||
hybrid/inbred is tolerant prior to spraying large acreages
|
||
of that hybrid/inbred.
|
||
• DiFlexx DUO may be apply up to 40 fl oz/A per acre per
|
||
application.
|
||
• The maximum seasonal rate of DiFlexx DUO which can be
|
||
applied is 78 fl oz/A per use season.
|
||
• DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO to corn that exhibits injury
|
||
from previous herbicide applications.
|
||
• DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO with liquid fertilizers as the
|
||
primary spray carrier.
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than two (2) applications of DiFlexx
|
||
DUO per use season.
|
||
• DO NOT graze or harvest corn forage within 45 days
|
||
of the final DiFlexx DUO application. Corn grain and
|
||
stover may be harvested once the crop has reached the
|
||
ensilage (milk) stage.
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION
|
||
Use Rates
|
||
Apply DiFlexx DUO postemergence at 24 - 40 fluid ounces per
|
||
acre per application. Always add the appropriate adjuvants to
|
||
the spray tank (see SPRAY ADDITIVES section of this label). Use
|
||
the higher application rates when one or more of the following
|
||
situations are present in the fields to be treated:
|
||
• Weeds present have suspected/confirmed resistance
|
||
to either Group 4 (Auxin) or Group 27 (HPPD)
|
||
mode-of-action herbicides.
|
||
• Heavy weed populations.
|
||
• Biennenial/perennial weeds listed on the label.
|
||
• Annual weeds taller than 6 inches.
|
||
Applications of DiFlexx DUO at rates less than recommended
|
||
rates may result in incomplete weed control and reduction in
|
||
residual activity.
|
||
Application Method, Timing and Number of Sprays
|
||
• Broadcast Application: DiFlexx DUO may be applied to
|
||
corn as a broadcast spray application from emergence
|
||
up to, but not including, the V7 stage of growth (seventh
|
||
leaf collar) or 36” tall, whichever occurs first.
|
||
• Directed Application : DiFlexx DUO should be applied
|
||
as a directed spray application when corn is from the
|
||
V7 thru V10 stages of growth (7-10 collars), up to 36”
|
||
tall, or up to 15 days prior to tassel, whichever occurs
|
||
first. Directed sprays should also be used if corn leaves
|
||
prevent proper spray coverage, sensitive crops are
|
||
grown nearby or when tank mixing with 2, 4-D.
|
||
• Sequential Application : A maximum of two (2)
|
||
applications of DiFlexx DUO may be applied per growing
|
||
season. Sequential applications must be separated by a
|
||
minimum of two (2) weeks.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Weed Control
|
||
To provide a broader spectrum of weed control in corn, DiFlexx
|
||
DUO may be applied in tank mixtures with but not limited to the
|
||
following herbicides:
|
||
• Atrazine
|
||
An application of DiFlexx DUO in combination with
|
||
atrazine at 0.5 lb ai/A will increase the speed of control,
|
||
weed spectrum and consistency of control. Do not use
|
||
atrazine if corn is greater than 12 inches tall.
|
||
• Glyphosate (including Roundup and Touchdown
|
||
branded products)
|
||
DiFlexx DUO can be tank mixed with glyphosate for use
|
||
on glyphosate-tolerant corn. DiFlexx DUO will enhance
|
||
control of broadleaf and glyphosate-resistant weeds,
|
||
and will reduce glyphosate induced weed shifts.
|
||
• If resistant weeds are present or suspected, the use
|
||
of an additional adjuvant may be necessary with
|
||
glyphosate. Under these circumstances, please refer to
|
||
the SPRAY ADDITIVE – Surfactant section of this label.
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s 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.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Insect Control
|
||
To provide weed and insect control in corn, DiFlexx DUO may
|
||
be used sequentially with all soil-applied insecticides or used
|
||
sequentially or in tank mix with most foliar-applied insecticides
|
||
including Baythroid ® XL, Oberon ®, and other registered foliar
|
||
insecticides. DO NOT apply DiFlexx DUO in tank mixtures with
|
||
Lorsban® /chlorpyrifos insecticide. If DiFlexx DUO is used
|
||
sequentially with foliar insecticides, applications should be
|
||
separated by at least 7 days.

|
||
of the following situations are present in the fields to be treated:
|
||
• Weeds present have suspected/confirmed resistance to
|
||
either Group 4 (Auxin) or Group 27 (HPPD)
|
||
modes-of-action herbicides.
|
||
• Heavy weed populations.
|
||
DiFlexx DUO will provide early season suppression/control
|
||
of certain broadleaf and grass weeds (see Table 5) but will
|
||
generally not provide season-long residual weed control.
|
||
Preplant/preemergence applications of DiFlexx DUO should
|
||
always be either tank mixed with additional registered
|
||
residual preemergence herbicides or be followed by a planned
|
||
postemergence herbicide application program.
|
||
Application Method, Timing and Number of Sprays
|
||
• Preplant/Preemergence Burndown: When weeds
|
||
are present at the time of treatment and prior to corn
|
||
emergence, a tank mixture of DiFlexx DUO with MOS or
|
||
COC is recommended for burndown of labeled weeds
|
||
6” or less in height. When weeds are greater than
|
||
6” in height or weeds not controlled by DiFlexx DUO
|
||
are present, the addition of a burndown herbicide such
|
||
as glyphosate is recommended. Addition of atrazine
|
||
will also provide improved weed control.
|
||
• Preemergence: Apply DiFlexx DUO during planting
|
||
(behind the planter after furrow closure) or after
|
||
planting, but before weeds emerge. Failure to
|
||
thoroughly close and firm the seed furrow may allow
|
||
herbicide to directly contact the seed which can cause
|
||
injury.
|
||
• Sequential Application: A maximum of two
|
||
(2) applications of DiFlexx DUO may be
|
||
applied per growing season. Sequential applications
|
||
must be separated by a minimum of two (2) weeks.
|
||
Tank Mixtures for Weed Control
|
||
DiFlexx DUO at 32 - 40 fluid ounces per acre may be used in a
|
||
tankmixture with atrazine to improve spectrum and consistency
|
||
of weed control wherever atrazine use is permitted and
|
||
appropriate. It may also be used with any additional registered
|
||
preemergence herbicide for use in corn. Always follow the
|
||
companion product label to determine specific use rates,
|
||
application timings and pests controlled. In addition, follow
|
||
precautions and restrictions including state and local use
|
||
restrictions that may apply to specific products. Always follow
|
||
the directions of the most restrictive label.
|
||
POST HARVEST BURNDOWN APPLICATION
|
||
DiFlexx DUO may be used as a postharvest burndown
|
||
treatment to control broadleaf weeds at any time of the
|
||
year following harvest of corn or before planting of the next
|
||
rotational crop. DiFlexx DUO will be especially effective against
|
||
broadleaf weed biotypes which have developed resistance to
|
||
glyphosate-, triazine-, ALS-inhibiting, auxin- and other
|
||
herbicide modes-of-action. Specific rotational crop intervals
|
||
must be observed between the postharvest application of
|
||
DiFlexx DUO and planting of the next rotated crop. Refer to
|
||
the ROTATIONAL CROP section of this label for specific crop
|
||
rotation intervals.
|
||
Application Rates and Timings
|
||
Apply DiFlexx DUO as a broadcast postemergence spray at
|
||
24-40 fluid ounces per acre plus recommended adjuvant
|
||
system (refer to the SPRAY ADDITIVES information section of
|
||
this label. Best weed control will be achieved when applications
|
||
are made to young, actively growing weeds (refer to the WEED
|
||
CONTROL TABLES 1-4 section for a complete listing of weeds
|
||
controlled/suppressed). Use the higher application rates when
|
||
one or more of the following situations are present in the fields
|
||
to be treated:
|
||
• Weeds present have suspected/confirmed resistance to
|
||
either Group 4 (Auxin) or Group 27 (HPPD)
|
||
modes-of-action herbicides.
|
||
• Heavy weed populations.
|
||
• Biennenial/perennial weeds listed on the label.
|
||
• Annual weeds taller than 6 inches.
|
||
Post Harvest Specific Precautions
|
||
• If applying DiFlexx DUO postharvest, only corn (field,
|
||
seed and pop) may be planted immediately. Refer to
|
||
the ROTATIONAL CROP section of this label for specific
|
||
crop rotation intervals.
|
||
Post Harvest Specific Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT apply more than two (2) applications of DiFlexx
|
||
DUO per use season.
|
||
• DO NOT exceed a maximum seasonal cumulative
|
||
amount of 78 fluid ounces per acre of DiFlexx DUO per
|
||
use season.
|
||
• DO NOT graze livestock or harvest corn forage within
|
||
45 days of application.
|
||
Tank Mixture Recommendations
|
||
Certain tank mixtures may aid in the performance of
|
||
DiFlexx DUO as a postharvest spray application. DiFlexx DUO at
|
||
24-40 fluid ounces per acre may be tank mixed with the
|
||
following herbicides or other registered postharvest herbicides
|
||
at their labeled use rates:
|
||

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This product is toxic to non-target plants. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface
|
||
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate
|
||
water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
|
||
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. Follow precautions for
|
||
use to avoid wind spray drift.
|
||
This product has a high potential for runoff after application. Poorly draining soils and soils
|
||
with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. 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
|
||
for contamination of water from runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
|
||
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control
|
||
practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination.
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where
|
||
the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.
