HOW TO USE ON DRYLAND WHEAT & BARLEY
Apply postemergence to the crcp when wheat/barley is well tillered (at
least 3 tillers) and has developed 2" secondary roots throughout the
entire field. A well develop~d secondary root syste~ and good crop vigor
is essential to minimize injury to wh~~t/barley. Application must be
made prior to jointing as crop injury may result.
For best weed control results:
Apply "Lexone" 4L before broadleaf weeds emerge or shortly after
emergence and before weeds are 2" taIlor across.
Use a fall treatment for winter annuals or a spring treatment for
summer annual b=oadleaf weeds. Avoid making treatments in
mid-winter in areas where severe winter weather can cause crop
stress.
Apply "Lexone" 4L before grasses emerge or shortly after emergence
and before the 3 to 5 leaf stage and use the higher dosage rates
listed.
Rainfall (1/2") within 2 to ) weeks after application is needed to move
"Lexone" 4L into the weed root zone. Lack of adequate rainfall af .er
application will result in poor control.
USE RATES
Make a single broadcast application postemergence to the crop as follows:

Do not use on gravelly or thinly covered or exposed subsoil areas (clay

Use the lower rates on coarse textured soils and the higher rates on
medium or fine textured soils having more than 1% organic matter. For
grass control, use the highest rate listed for your soil type.
IRRIGATED WHEAT/BARLEY
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to activate "Lexone" 4L. If
adequate rainfall (1/2" within 2 to 3 weeks after applicatior.) does not
occur, then activate via sprinkler irrigation. Do not apply more than
1/2" of water for the first irrigation after applica~ion. The maximum
amount for each additional irrigation should not exceed I".
3PECIFIC HERBICIDE COMBINATION
Winter Wheat, Sprin~nd Winter Barley
"Lexone" 4L may be tank mixed with "Igran" SOW for use on winte~ whebt
and winter barley, Do not use more than 1.0 Ibs./acre "Igran" HOW ir
tank mix. On winter wheat, spring barley, and winter barley, "i.,exone" tL
may be tank mixed with "Glean", 2,4-0, "Banvel", MCPA, "Bronate",
"Buctril", "Brominal Plus" or "Brominal", Refer to the other product
labels registered for this use for additional precautions, diL~r.tions,
rates, and weeds controlled.
- 5 -
"Lexone" 4L and "Igran" SOW (Winter wheat. winter barley) -
Pacific NW and utah
For added control of downy brome, apply "Lexone" 4L at 0.50 pints per
acre plus "Igran" SOW at 0.75 to 1. 00 pounds per acre. Follow
"Lexone" 4L timing of application recommendation. Do not use on spL"ing
barley or irrigated wheat/barley. Refer to "Igran" SOW label for
additional precautions and instructions.
How to Use for Reduced Tillaqe Fallow
Apply 0.67 to 1.5 pints "Lexone" 4L per acre as an after harvest
treatment prior to subsequent planting ~f winter wheat. Use the lower
rate on coarse textured soils and the t.igher rate on medium to fine
texture soil.
"Lexone" 4L can be applied in the fall after harvest at 1.0 to 1.5
pts./acre or in the spring at 0.67 to 1.0 pts./acre as new weed growth
begins.
If large weeds (larger than 2" taIlor across) are present, or weeds
other than those listed are present or anticipated, use a suitable
registered companion herbicide such as "Glean", "Paraquat", or
"Round-up". Refer 1:.0 labeling for these products for the additional use
instructions and precautions.
When using "Lexone" 4L and "Round-up" tank mix spray, volume should be
10 gpa.
Where spring application is appropriate in Colorado, Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming for
improved control of downy brame, Russian thistle, and tansy mustard, tank
mix 0.50 to 1.0 pints of "Lexone" 4L with 2 to 2.5 Ibs. "Igran" SOW per
acre.
Do not plant spring seeded cereals following "Lexone" 4L fall fallow
applications.
Do not apply "Lexone" 4L in the spring if "Lexone" 4L was used the
preceding fall or winter.
Recrop Intervals
Do not plant winter wheat within 6 months of treatment except ~n
Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming where winter wheat may be planted 4 months
after treatment of 0.50 to 1.0 pints "Lexone" 4L per acre.

Rotational Crop Interval
Do not plant crops (other than wheat as listed above) within 10 months of
treatment.
SPRAY PREPARATION
Mix the proper amount of "Lexone" 4L into the
in the spray tank with the agitator running.
fertilizer solutions should be added last.
crop (as listed)
necessary volume of water
other herbicides or
"Lexone" 4L may be mixed with liquid fertilizer. However, addition of
liquid fertilizer to "Lexone" 4L alone or in a three-way tank mix with
other herbicides increases the possibility of crop injury. Do not use
surfactant when using "Lexone" 4L i)"l combination with liquid fertilizer.
For application of "Lexone" 4L in liquid fertilizer, wherl"' the liquid
fertilizer is the carrier, slurry the "Lexone" 4L in water, then
thoroughly lnix the slurry into the liquid fertilizer.
fallow
"Lexone" 4L may be used in any combination listed above.
When using tank mixes with "Lexone" 4L, small quantities should be tested
for compatibility prior to use.
The use of mixtures with "Lexone" 4L increases the possibilities cf
injury or temporary yellowing to the crop, especially if 2" secondary
roots are not developed throughout the field.
APPLICATION
Apply "Lexone" 4L using properl:r calibrated air or ground equipment.
Uni~orm coverage is essential in ord~r to obtain optimum weed control
performance and minimize the potential for crop injUry. Use a minimum
spray volume of 3 gallons per acre by air or ground.
As injury to crop may result, avoid overlapping of spray swath. Shut off
spray booms while st:.:ting, turning, slowing I or stopping. C'mt.:i.rlUous
agitation is needed to keep "Lexone" 4L in suspension.
- 7 -
NOTE: Do not apply under conditions where excessive drift may occur.
Do not apply "Lexone" 4L alone or in combination to stressed
plants.
Do not treat fielrls where seed had been planted less than 1" deep.
Do not treat fields that have been severely grazed.
Do not graze treated fields for 14 days following treatment.
Do not apply more than once per crop or fallow period.
Because spring barley varieties may vary in their tolerance to
"Lexone" 4L. limit first use to a small area to determine varietal
response prior to adoption as a field practice.
Do not use on soils having a calcareous surface area or pH of 7.5
or higher as crop injury may result.
Do not apply when soil is frozen or crop is in winter dormancy.
Do not apply when soil is saturated with moisture.
Temporary yellowing or injury of the crop may occur, especially if
frost or snow occurs within a few days of application. Severe
winter stress, heaving, exposed root systems, disease, or insect
damage preceding or following application may increase crop
injury. winter wheat/barley varieties differ in their degree of
winter hardiness; severe injury ~ay result from treating
non-winter hardy varieties that will not withstand the combination
of winter and herbicide stress. If heavy rains occur soon after
application, injlry to the crop may result. Extended dry weather
following treatme,t may reduce weed control effectiveness.
