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

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
manufacturers directions. Triple rinse the equipment
before and after applying this product.
6
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.

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.

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.
