inches tall. Do not apply to corn taller than 12 inches 
or exhibiting 6 leaf collars, whichever is the more 
restrictive. 
Apply ACCENT GOLD® to field com hybrids with a Relative 
Maturity (RM) rating of 88 days or more. Not all Hi-Lysine, or 
white corn, nor field com hybrids of less than 88 day RM have 
been tested, nor does DuPont have access to all seed company 
data. Consequently, injury arising from the use of ACCENT 
GOLD® on these types of com is the responsibility of the user. 
Consult with your seed supplier before applying ACCENT 
GOLD® to any of these com types. 
Do not apply to field corn grown for seed, to popcorn or to 
sweetcOtn. 
TIMING TO WEEDS

young and actively growing, but before they exceed the sizes 
listed on this label. 
• Applications to weeds at growth stages greater than those 
listed below may result in incomplete control. 
• Adequate soil moisture is required for residual activity. 
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 5 days after application 
will enhance ACCENT GOLD® residual activity. 
If an activating rainfall or sprinlder irrigation (>0.5 inch or to 
wet the soil to 2") is not received within 5 days after 
application, follow with a shallow cultivarion or with a 
sequential application of DuPont ACCENT® herbicide, if 
needed- See Cultivation or Sequential ACCENT® 
Applications.

SPRAY ADJUVANTS 
Applications of ACCENT GOLD® must include crop oil 
concentrate. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is 
recommended. More infonnation on adjuvant selection may be 
found in the bulletin "Approved Adjuvants for Use With DuPont 
Row Crop and Cereal Herbicides." 
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) 
• Apply at rate (concentration) of 1% vlv (I gal per 100 gal 
spray solution). 
• Under arid conditions such as those found in the High Plains, 
apply at rate (concentration) of2% vlv (2 gaVl00 gal spray 
solution). 
• The crop oil concentrate must be high quality, petroleum or 
vegetable seed oil-based product (methylated seed oil is 
considered a vegetable seed-based oil). Petroleum based oils 
must contain at least 14% emulsifierslsutfactants. 
Ammonium Nitrogen Ferti/izer 
An ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is recommended in addition to 
the crop oil concentrate. 
• Always use a high-quality ammonium nitrogen fertilizer such 
as 28-0-0 (at 24 qUaere) or 10-34-0 or 11-37-0 (at 1-2 qUacre) 
or spray grade ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) at 24lb/acre. Use 
the higher rate under arid or droughty conditions. 
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizers without a crop oil 
concentrate. 
• Liquid nitrogen fertilizers should not be used as the total 
carrier solution. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger 
strainer screens. 
I. Fill the tank 114 to 113 full of water. 
2. While agitating, add the required amount of 
ACCENT GOLD®. 
3. Continue agitation until the ACCENT GOLD® is fully 
dispersed, at least 5 minutes. 
4. Once the ACCENT GOLD® is fully dispersed, maintain 
agitation and continue filling tank with water. 
ACCENT GOLD® should be thoroughly mixed with water 
before adding any other material. 
5. As the tank is filling, add the desired tank mix partners and 
then add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate or 
nitrogen fertilizer). 
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. 
If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 
7. Apply ACCENT GOLD® spray mixture within 4 hours of 
mixing to avoid product degradation. If spray mixture will 
not be applied within 4 hours and either 28-0-0 or ammonium 
sulfate was used as the nitrogen source, either add I qUaere 
of 10-34-0 or 11-37-0, or a commercial tank buffer that will 
raise the tank pH to 7.0. If 10-34-0 or 11-37-0 was used as 
the liquid nitrogen source, do not add additional fertilizer or 
buffer solution to the spray tank. 
8. If ACCENT GOLD® is applied in multiple loads, consider 
pre-slurrying the ACCENT GOLD® in clean water prior to 
adding to the next load. This prevents the crop oil concentrate 
from intetfering with dissolution of ACCENT GOLD®.

Proper Handling Instructions 
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any 
wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink 
holes. perennial or intennittent streams and rivers, and 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

Additional Infonnation 
• A com plant's predisposition to develop fused tissue emerging 
from the whorl (rattaiJ) after the V-II stage may increase 
when a product containing dicarnba ("Banvel", "Clarity", 
"Marksman") is applied to small com under early stressful 
conditions. Be aware of this when applying tank mixes with 
dicarnba to small com (V-3 s!age or smaller) under stressful 
conditions. See ENVIRONMENTAL CONDmONS for a 
description of these stressful conditions. 
ACCENT GOLD® may also be tank mixed with DuPont 
ASANA® XL or DuPont LANNATE® insecticides. 
ACCENT GOLD® should not be tank mixed with DuPont 
BLADEX® herbicide, "Basagran" and "Laddok" or severe crop 
injwy may occur. 
ACCENT GOLD® should not be tank mixed with 2,4-D -
containing products as severe grass control antagonism may 
occur. 
ACCENT GOLD®.should not be tank mixed with foliar-applied 
organophosphate insecticides such as ''Lorsban'', malathion, 
parathion, etc., as severe crop injury may occur. 
To avoid crop injwy or antagonism, apply these products at least 
seven days before or 3 days after the application of ACCENT 
GOLD®. 
. APPLICATION INFORMATION 
4 
Many crops are highly sensitive to ACCENT GOLD®. All 
direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops 
other than field com should be avoided. See Spray Drift 
section. 
GROUND APPLICATION 
Ensure that spray equipment is set up to avoid applying an 
excessive rate directly over the rows and into the com plant 
whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing and turning 
while spraying may result in crop injury. 
Broadcast Application 
• Use a minimum of 15 gal. of water per acre (15 GPA) for 
best performance. 
• Use flat fan or Spraying Systems Turbo F100djet nozzles 
at 20-40 PSI. 
• Increase both spray volume and pressure as weed density 
and size increase.

• Do not use flood, hollow cone, rain drop, whirl chamber, 
controlled droplet applicator (CDA) nozzles or air assisted 
sprayers. Unacceptable crop injury, excessive spray drift, 
or poor weed control may result. 
• For proper spray coverage, adjust the boom and nozzle 
height according to manufacturers' specifications. 
Band Application 
• For band applications, use proportionately less spray 
mixture. 
• To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band 
applicator to not exceed the labeled rate. 
• Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for 
nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles 
from the crop and weeds, spray volumes, calibration and 
spray pressure. 
CHEMIGATION 
DuPont ACCENT GOLD® should not be applied through 
any type of irrigation system. 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS 
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY 
ACCENT GOLD® is rainfast in six hours. 
ACCENT GOLD® rapidly inhibits the growth of 
susceptible weeds, reducing weed competition within as 
little as 6 hours after application. Susceptible plants are 
controlled in 7-21 days. 
The degree and duration of control depend on spray 
coverage. activating rainfall, weed spectrum, weed size, 
growing conditions before and after treatment, soil 
moisture, and adjuvant selection. 
Adequate soil moisture is required for optimum activity. 
Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 5 days will enhance 
ACCENT GOLD® residual activity. A timely cultivation 
may be required for maximum weed control without an 
activating rain. 
Treating weeds that exceed maximum label height or that 
are under stress may result in incomplete control. 
• Poor weed control or crop injury may result from 
applications made to plants under stress from: 
• abnormally hot or cold weather 
• environmental conditions such as drought, water­
saturated soils, hail damage, or frost 
• disease, insect, or nematode injury 
• prior herbicide. or carry-over from a previous year's 
herbicide application 
If the com or weeds are under stress, delay application until 
stress passes and both weeds and com resume active 
growth. If weeds or com are beyond the maximum size 
listed on this label, an application of ACCENT Herbicide 
should be made. See the Accent label for tank mix partner 
infonnation. 
Applications should be made when minimum nighttime 
temperatures are above 40°F and the maximum daytime 
temperatures are below 92°F to maximize performance and 
minimize the potential for crop injury. 
Applications made during or immediately following periods 
of large day/night temperature fluctuations or where 
daytime temperatures do not exceed 50°F may decrease 
weed control and increase the potential for crop injury.

Note: 
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying ACCENT 
GOLD®, read and follow label directions for proper rinsate 
disposal of the product previously sprayed. 
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an 
extended period to apply multiple loads of ACCENT 
GOLD®, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of 
each day of spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow 
to sit overnight. 
Cleanup Procedure 
I. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior 
surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean 
water for a minimum of 10 min. 
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gal of 
household ammonia" (containing 3% active) for every 
100 gal of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then 
flush the cleaning solution through the hoses, boom, and 
nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and 
allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 min. Again, 
flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning 
solution, then drain the tank. 
3. Repeat Step 2. 
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a 
bucket containing the cleaning agent and water. 
5. Thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water for a 
minimum of 5 min, flushing the water through the hoses 
and boom. 
·Equiva]ent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia Solulion or a tank 
cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea Herbicides. A 
Guide to Equipment Cleanout," may be used. 
CROP ROTATION 
Rotational crops vary in their response to low 
concentrations of ACCENT GOLD® .remaining in the soil. 
The amount of ACCENT GOLD® which may be present in 
the soil depends on soil pH and organic matter content, 
elapsed time since application, crop production practices, 
and environmental factors . 
6 
The following rotational intervals should be observed when 
using ACCENT GOLD®: 
Crop Interval in Months 
Field Corn Anytime 
Seed corn. Popcorn 10.5 
Winter Cereals 4 
Spring Cereals 8 
Grain Sorghum 12 
Soybeans', Dry Beans' 10.5 
Alfalfa" 10.5 
Peas, potatoes, sunflower, sweet corn 18 
All Other Crops' 26 and field bioassay·· 
t For low moisture (less than 15 inches annual rainfall) and low 
organic matter (less than 2%) areas, dry beans and soybeans 
should not be planted until 18 months after treatment. 
i Rotation to sugarbeets, canola and all other crops requires a 26-
month rotation interval and a successful bioassay. 
**Field Bioassay Instructions: Using typical tillage, seeding 
practices and timings for the particular crop, plant several 
strips of the desired crop variety across the field previously 
treated with ACCENT GOLD®. Plant the strips perpendicular 
to the direction ACCENT GOLD® was applied. The strips 
should also be located so that different field conditions are 
encountered, including differences in soil texture, pH and 
drainage. If the crop does not show visible symptoms of injury, 
or stand reduction, the field can be seeded with the test crop in 
the growing season following the bioassay. If visible injury, 
stand reduction, or yield reduction occurs, the test crop should 
not be seeded, and the bioassay must be repeated the next 
growing season. 
ttExcept where the soil pH is greater than 8, in which case the 
interval is 12 months. 
• For tank mixes, follow the most restrictive provisions of 
tile tankmix components. 
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related 
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator 
is responsible for considering all these factors when making 
application decisions. 
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 
THE APPLICATOR. 
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply 
large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift 
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that 
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of 
sensitive species nearby. the environmental conditions, and 
pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift 
control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS 
REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT 
PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE 
IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind. 
Temperature and Humidity. and Temperature Inversions 
sections of this label.

Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques 
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest 
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows 
produce larger droplets. 
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended 
for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and 
does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN mGHER 
FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A mGHER­
CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING 
PRESSURE. 
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the 
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower 
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low­
drift nozzles. 
BOOM HEIGHT 
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) 
which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of 
droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, 
the boom should remain level with the crop and have 
minimal bounce. 
WIND 
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph 
(due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, 
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type 
determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID 
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDmONS. 
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 hot and dry conditions, set up 
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of 
evaporation. 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. 
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing. which 
causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the 
ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. 
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with 
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to 
form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. 
Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if 
fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the 
movement of smoke from a ground 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. 
SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the 
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the 
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and 
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

RESISTANCE 
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of 
action are used repeatedly over several years to control the 
same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring 
resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide 
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. 
Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be 
expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be 
necessary to retreat the problem area using a product 
affecting a different site of action . 
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the 
proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide resistant 
weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural 
practices within and between crop seasons such as using a 
combination oftillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners 
andlor sequential herbicide applications that have a different 
site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed 
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes. If applicable, 
see the Weeds Controlled section of this label for additional 
information on managing herbicide resistant weed biotypes. 
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied 
to individual fields to help obtain information on the spread 
and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your 
agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, andlor appropriate 
state agricultural extension service representative for 
specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide 
recommendations available in your area. 
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT 
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest 
Management (IPM) program that can include biological, 
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing 
economic pest damage. !PM principles and practices 
include field scouting or other detection methods, correct 
target pest identification, population monitoring, and 
treating when target pest populations reach locally 
determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative 
extension service, professional consultants or other qualified 
authorities to determine appropriate action treatment 
threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in 
your area
