Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

As weeds mature, their sensitivity to STOUT® decreases.
|
||
Grassy weeds growing under stress due to drought or other
|
||
environmental factors may become mature (more than 3
|
||
tillers) before they reach the size listed, in which case their
|
||
susceptibility to STOUT® may be reduced.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Applications of STOUT® must include either a crop oil
|
||
concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition, an
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specif-'
|
||
ically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Crop oil
|
||
concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the
|
||
preferred adjuvant system for STOUT®. Consult local
|
||
DuPont fact sheets, technical bulletins, and service policies
|
||
3
|
||
prior to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is
|
||
tank mixed with STOUT®, select adjuvants authorized for
|
||
use with both products. Products must contain only EPA
|
||
exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or
|
||
Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1 % v/v (1 gallon per 100gallons spray solution) or
|
||
2% under arid conditions.
|
||
• MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallon per 100
|
||
gallons spray solution) if specifically noted on adjuvant·
|
||
product labeling.
|
||
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality,
|
||
petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed o~l with at
|
||
least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
• Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray
|
||
solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
|
||
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic
|
||
surfactant with a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB)
|
||
greater than 12.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate
|
||
(UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2 pounds/acre of a
|
||
spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre
|
||
UAN or 4 pounds/acre AMS under arid conditions.
|
||
• Do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier
|
||
solution.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that
|
||
provide the required amount of NIS, COC, MSO and/or
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature
|
||
for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
• In addition to the adjuvants specified above, other
|
||
adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same
|
||
functionality and have been evaluated and approved by
|
||
DuPont Product Management. Consult separate DuPont
|
||
technical bulletins for detailed information before using
|
||
adjuvant types not specified on this label.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 114 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of STOUT®.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the STOUT® is fully dispersed,
|
||
at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the STOUT® is fully dispersed, maintain agitation
|
||
and continue filling tank with water. Thoroughly mix
|
||
STOUT® with water before adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add the required spray adjuvants
|
||
(crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or ammonium
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer).
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will
|
||
occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before
|
||
using:
|
||
|
||
7. Apply DuPont™ STOUT® spray mixture within 24
|
||
hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If STOUT® and a tank mix partner are to be applied in
|
||
multiple loads, pre-slurry the STOUT® in clean water
|
||
prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix
|
||
partner from interfering with the dissolution of the
|
||
STOUT®.·
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY - SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS
|
||
FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF
|
||
PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES
|
||
STOUT® may be used as a sequential application in a planned
|
||
postemergence weed control program in com following a
|
||
reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide.
|
||
Apply a reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide prior to corn

|
||
Tank Mixtures with Atrazine
|
||
STOUT® may be tank mixed with 114 - 2 pounds a.i. atrazine*
|
||
for additional control of many broadleaf weeds, including:
|
||
Species Maximum weed height or diameter
|
||
Sicklepod 2 inches
|
||
Prickly sida 2 inches
|
||
Wild Radish 12 inches
|

|
||
Florida pusley 2 inches
|
||
*For best results add 0.25 - 2.0 quarts atrazine 4L OR 4 - 35 ounces
|
||
atrazine 90DF. Products containing atrazine are restricted use products.
|
||
STOUT® + atrazine tank mix may result in reduced control of
|
||
grasses (antagonism) if applied to grasses under low moisture
|
||
stress or to grasses exceeding the maximum labeled height.
|
||
Before applying STOUT® + atrazine tank mix, refer to the

Tank Mixtures with "Distinct" or Dicamba
|
||
STOUT® may be tank mixed with up to 2 ounces a.i. dicamba
|
||
(e.g. up to 4 fluid ounces/acre of "Clarity" or 2 ounces of
|
||
"Distinct") for additional control of many broadleaf weeds.
|
||
In situations where the use of crop oil concentrate with growth
|
||
regulator herbicides is not desirable (e.g. extremely cold
|
||
weather), STOUT® may be tank mixed with 2 ounces
|
||
"Distinct" + a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (l quart/IOO
|
||
gallons spray solution) in place of crop oil concentrate, but
|
||
overall weed control may be reduced.
|
||
Tank mixture applications of STOUT® with herbicides
|
||
containing dicamba (e.g. 1-2 ounces "Distinct" and 4 fluid
|
||
ounces "Clarity") should be limited to com that is up to 12" tall,
|
||
up to and including 5 leaf collars, whichever is most restrictive,
|
||
except for the states east of the line formed by the western
|
||
borders ofMl, IN, KY, TN, and MS, and except where noted in

weed infestation is heavy. Refer to the specific "Starane" label
|
||
for application timing and restrictions.
|
||
Tank Mixtures with Insecticides
|
||
STOUT® may be tank mixed with pyrethroid or carbamate
|
||
insecticides such as DuPont™ ASANA® XL or DuPont™
|
||
LANNATE® insecticides.
|
||
General Tank Mixture Information
|
||
Other than the exceptions noted, and in addition to the tank mix
|
||
partners and rates indicated above, STOUT® may be tank
|
||
mixed or followed with sequential applications of other products
|
||
registered for use in field com. STOUT® may be applied in tank
|
||
mix combinations with full or reduced rates of other products
|
||
provided:
|
||
• The tank mix product is labeled for the same timing, method
|
||
of application, adjuvants, and use restrictions as STOUT®.
|
||
• The tank mixture is not specifically prohibited on the label of
|
||
the tank mix product
|
||
|
||
• The tank mix combination is compatible as detennined by a
|
||
"jar test" described in the TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY
|
||
TESTING section below.
|
||
Tank Mixing Precautions:
|
||
• Weed control and crop response with tank mixtures not
|
||
specifically recommended in this label are the responsibility
|
||
of the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product.
|
||
• Read and follow all applicable use directions, precautions,
|
||
and limitations specified on the respective product labels and
|
||
fact sheets.
|
||
• Do not exceed labeled application rates. Do not tank mix
|
||
DuPont™ STOUT® with other products that contain the
|
||
same active ingredients as STOUT® unless the label of either
|
||
tank mix partner specifies the maximum rate that may be
|
||
used.
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of
|
||
STOUT® and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with
|
||
lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions.
|
||
Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe
|
||
the mixture for approximately 112 hour. If the mixture balls-up,
|
||
forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily film or layers, or other precip
|
||
itates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should
|
||
not be used.
|
||
SEQUENTIAL DUPONTTM ACCENT®
|
||
APPLICATIONS
|
||
Apply ACCENT® herbicide 14 or more days after STOUT®
|
||
applications to control grasses that may emerge later in the
|
||
season. Refer to the ACCENT® label for grass species
|
||
controlled, proper size of weeds, rates, com sizes, and other
|
||
information. When following a STOUT® application, do not
|
||
use more than 2/3 ounce ACCENT® per acre.
|
||
[\5111111;,
|
||
CULTIVATION
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed
|
||
weeds, or weeds that emerge after an application of STOUT®
|
||
in the absence of an activating rainfall.
|
||
Optimum timing for cultivation is 7-14 days after STOUT®
|
||
application or upon seeing the establishment of new weeds.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
|
||
AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
STOUT® provides best results when applied to young,
|
||
actively growing weeds. Applications made during warm,
|
||
moist conditions (70°F or more) and adequate soil moisture
|
||
both before and after application maximizes performance.
|
||
The degree and duration of control depend on spray coverage,
|
||
weed spectrum, weed size, growing conditions before and
|
||
after treatment, soil moisture, and adjuvant selection.
|
||
7
|
||
STOUT® is rainfast in 4 hours.
|
||
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 hemicide, or carryover from a previous year's hemicide
|
||
application
|
||
Stress from conditions immediately following application may
|
||
also result in crop injury or poor weed control. Stress affects all
|
||
weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass, green and
|
||
yellow foxtail, and wild proso millet
|
||
If the com or grass weeds are under stress, delay application
|
||
until stress passes and both weeds and com resume active
|
||
growth.
|
||
Apply STOUT® 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.
|
||
STOUT® 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.
|
||
Ground application of STOUT® to dry, dusty fields may reduce
|
||
weed control in wheel track areas.
|
||
SOIL INSECTICIDE
|
||
INTERACTION INFORMATION
|
||
~mti~;~:\~ll~I~~~i:j,~n~!M~~~r~~~~;7~~:~#~~~llii
|
||
STOUT® may interact with certain insecticides previously
|
||
applied to the crop. Crop response varies with field com type,
|
||
insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||
STOUT® may be applied to com previously treated with
|
||
"Fortress", "Aztec", or "Force" insecticides or non
|
||
organophosphate COP) soil insecticides regardless of soil type.
|
||
• DO NOT APPLY STOUT® to com previously treated with
|
||
"Counter" 15G or to com treated with "Counter" 20CR
|
||
infurrow or over the row at cultivation.
|
||
• Applications of STOUT® to com previously treated with
|
||
"Counter" 20 CR, "Lorsban", or "Thimet" may cause
|
||
unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4%
|
||
organic matter.
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of
|
||
STOUT® remaining in the soil. STOUT® dissipates rapidly in
|
||
warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||
|
||
The amount of DuPont™ STOUT® which may be present in
|
||
the soil depends on soil pH and organic matter content, elapsed
|
||
time since application, crop production practices, and environ
|
||
mental factors.
|
||
Injury to rotational crops may occur in high-pH, cold soils if dry
|
||
weather prevails between application and rotational crop
|
||
planting.
|
||
For fields treated with sequential applications of STOUT® and
|
||
DuPont™ ACCENT® herbicide, consult the crop rotation
|
||
intervals listed on the ACCENT® and STOUT® labels. Use the
|
||
most restrictive recrop interval from either label.
|
||
The following rotational intervals must be observed when using

|
||
injury.
|
||
**Except the sweet com varieties "Merit", "Carnival", and "Sweet Success", for
|

which the minimum time interval is 15 months.
|

||
"I\I\For soils with composite pH > 6.5 the rotational interval is 18 months except
|
||
on irrigated sites in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Texas, Michigan, and
|
||
Ohio, where precipitation following application must exceed 25" prior to
|
||
planting beets, where the interval is 10 months on soils with pH < 7.5. In
|
||
North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, the cumulative precipitation in the
|
||
18 months following application to soils >pH 6.5 must exceed 28" in order to
|

rotate to sugarbeets.
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
Many crops are highly sensitive to STOUT®. All direct or
|
||
indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than
|
||
field corn should be avoided (see also SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
MANAGEMENT).
|
||
For all application systems, use 50-mesh or larger strainer
|
||
screens.
|
||
Do not apply STOUT® through any type of irrigation
|
||
system.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Broadcast Application
|
||
Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to
|
||
ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the best
|
||
8
|
||
\\(K\~
|
||
performance. Use a minimum of 10 GPA for light, scattered
|
||
stands of weeds.
|
||
For best performance, select nozzles and pressure that
|
||
deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, as indicated, for example,
|
||
by ASAE Standard S572. Nozzles that deliver COARSE
|
||
spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray
|
||
volume is increased to maintain coverage on small weeds.
|
||
For optimal product performance and minimal spray drift,
|
||
adjust the spray boom to the lowest possible spray height
|
||
specified in manufacturers' specifications.
|
||
Ensur~ that equipment is set up to avoid applying an
|
||
excessive rate directly over·the rows and into the corn plant
|
||
whorl. Overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning
|
||
while spraying may result in crop injury.
|
||
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.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Aerial application is not permitted in the States of New York
|
||
and California.
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide
|
||
optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a
|
||
minimum of 3 GPA.
|
||
Do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds
|
||
are gusty, or when conditions favor poor coverage and/or
|
||
off-target spray movement.
|
||
SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous
|
||
pesticide deposits before using STOUT® and then properly
|
||
cleaned out following application. Clean all application
|
||
equipment before applying STOUT®. Follow the cleanup
|
||
procedures specified on the label of the product previously
|
||
sprayed. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure
|
||
that follows. Immediately following applications of STOUT®,
|
||
thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid
|
||
subsequent crop injury.
|
||
Note:
|
||
• When cleaning spray equipment before applying STOUT®,
|
||
read and follow label directions for proper rinsate disposal of
|
||
the product previously sprayed.
|
||
• Steam cleaning of aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any
|
||
visible pesticide deposits.
|
||
• When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an
|
||
extended period to apply multiple loads of STOUT®,
|
||
partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of
|
||
spraying, flush the boom and hoses, and allow to sit
|
||
ovemight.
|
||
|
||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior
|
||
surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom with clean
|
||
.water for a minimum of 5 min.
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon
|
||
of household ammonia* (containing 3% active) for every
|
||
100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water,
|
||
then flushJhe cleaning solution through the hoses, boom,
|
||
and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank
|
||
and allow to agiiate/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.
|
||
* Equivalent amounts of an alternate strength ammonia solution or a
|
||
tank cleaner recommended in the DuPont bulletin "Sulfonylurea
|
||
Herbicides, A GUide to Equipment Cleanout," may be used.
|
||
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 ENVIRON
|
||
MENTAL 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 specified for the
|
||
nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not
|
||
improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW
|
||
RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-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.
|
||
9
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of
|
||
nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform
|
||
coverage .
|
||
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray
|
||
is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will
|
||
produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream-nozzles (such as disc and core
|
||
with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce
|
||
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4
|
||
of the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift
|
||
potential.
|
||
• Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above
|
||
the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest
|
||
Management (lPM) program that can include biological,
|
||
cultuml, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic
|
||
pest damage. IPM 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.
|
||
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 biotypesmay 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 of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners
|
||
and/or 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.
|
||
It is advisable to keep accumte 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, and/or appropriate
|
||
state agricultural extension service representative for
|
||
specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide
|
||
recommendations available in your area.
|
