Environmental Hazards For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Groundwater Advisory. Saflufenacil and pyroxasulfone have properties and characteristics associated with chemi- cals detected in groundwater. These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are perme- able, particularly where the water table is shallow. Dimethenamid-P has properties that may result in ground- water contamination. Application in areas where soils are permeable or coarse and groundwater is near the surface could result in groundwater contamination. FIRST AID If in eyes • Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. • Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes; then continue rinsing. • Call a poison control center for treatment advice. If swallowed • Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. • DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor. • Have a person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. • DO NOT give anything to an unconscious person. If on skin • Take off contaminated clothing. • Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If inhaled • Move person to fresh air. • If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance; then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth to mouth, if possible. • Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. HOTLINE NUMBER Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment. You may also contact BASF Corporation for emergency medical treatment information: 1-800-832-HELP (4357).

3 Surface Water Advisory. DO NOT apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to inter- tidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwa ter or rinsate. This product may impact surface water due to runoff of rainwa- ter. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential load- ing of this chemical from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applica- tion when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source contamination, DO NOT mix or load this or any other pes- ticide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermit- tent 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 dike mixing/loading areas described as follows. Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi- cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or container leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mix- ing and/or loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. Care must be taken when using this product to prevent: • Back-siphoning into wells • Spills • Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixes, or rinsates Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all mixing equipment. Movement Dissolved in Runoff or Through Soil. DO NOT apply under conditions that favor runoff. DO NOT apply to impervious substrates including paved or highly compacted surfaces or frozen soils. Groundwater contamination may occur in areas where soils are perme- able or coarse and groundwater is near the surface. To minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination, carefully follow application rate specifications as affected by soil type in the Application Instructions section of this label. DO NOT apply if all 3 criteria exist:

1. Coarse soils classified as sand (does not include loamy sand or sandy loam)
2. Less than 3% organic matter (as determined by soil tests, if not known)
3. Where depth to groundwater is 30 feet or less Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil. DO NOT apply or incorporate this product by flood or furrow irriga- tion. Ensure treated areas have received at least 1/2 inch of rainfall before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of other fields. Endangered Species Protection Requirements This product may have effects on federally listed threat- ened or endangered plant species or their critical habitat. When using this product, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the county or parish in which you are applying the pes- ticide. To determine whether your county or parish has a Bulletin, and to obtain that Bulletin, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/, or call 1-844-447-3813 no more than 6 months before using this product.

Product Information Verdict® Trio Powered by Kixor® herbicide (henceforth in this label referred to as Verdict Trio) is a selective resid- ual preemergence herbicide for controlling most annual grass weeds, annual broadleaf weeds, and sedges in field corn, popcorn, processing sweet corn, and soybean (refer to Table 1 for a list of weeds controlled preemergence). Residual preemergence application of Verdict Trio must be activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irri- gation before weed seedling emergence. When Verdict Trio is not activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation may be needed to control weed escapes. Verdict Trio also provides contact burndown of many broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 2 for a list of weeds con- trolled by a burndown application). An adjuvant (refer to Additives section for details) is required with Verdict Trio for optimum broadleaf burndown activity. Burndown appli- cation of Verdict Trio must be made when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing. Burndown activity may be slowed or reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather conditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use higher spray volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees) may improve penetration of denser weed canopies. Tank mixes with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone, paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Verdict Trio.

See the Herbicide Resistance Management section for practices to manage and minimize the impact of resistant weeds (e.g. tank mixes or alternation with other herbicide modes of action, crop rotation, and mechanical control).

10 Mode of Action Verdict® Trio herbicide contains three active herbicide ingredients. Saflufenacil is a potent inhibitor of protoporphyrin- ogenoxidase belonging to herbicide mode- of-action Group 14 (WSSA)/Group E (HRAC). Dimethenamid-P is a chloroacetamide belonging to the her- bicide mode-of- action Group 15 (WSSA)/Group K 3 (HRAC). Pyroxasulfone is a potent inhibitor of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis, also belonging to herbi- cide mode-of-action Group 15 (WSSA) /Group K 3 (HRAC). Saflufenacil is rapidly absorbed by roots and foli- age. Following inhibition of the protoporphyrinogen- oxidase, plant death is the result of membrane damage. Under active growing conditions, susceptible emerging weed seedlings usually develop chlorotic and necrotic inju- ry symptoms within hours and die within a few days. Susceptible germinating weed seeds usually die as they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence. Dimethenamid-P and pyroxasulfone are root-and-shoot inhibitors that control susceptible weed seedlings before or soon after they emerge from the soil. Herbicide Resistance Management For resistance management, Verdict Trio contains both a Group 14/Group E herbicide and Group 15/Group K3 herbicides. Any weed population may contain plants natu- rally resistant to Group 14 and/or Group 15 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistant-management strat- egies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance consider: • Avoiding the consecutive use of herbicides that have a similar target-site-of-action on the same weed species. • Using tank mixes or premixes with herbicides from different target-site-of-action groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern. • Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM (Integrated Pest Management) program including cultural and mechanical methods. • Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field effi- cacy, and control of escapes with effective alternative herbicides or mechanical methods. • Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their biology. The weed- control program needs to consider all of the weeds present. • Scout fields prior to application to identify the weed spe- cies present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. • Scout fields after application to verify the treatment was effective. • Suspected herbicide-resistance weeds may be identified by these indicators:

1. Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if con- trol is achieved on adjacent weeds;
2. A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a partic- ular weed species; and
3. Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. • If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with a herbicide with a different MOA and/or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production. • Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your BASF representative. • Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management directions for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. Crop Response No crop injury is expected when Verdict Trio is applied according to label directions as a preplant to pre- emergence treatment and under normal environ mental conditions. Crop injury may occur when application is made under stressful growing conditions (e.g. drought or excessive moisture for normal crop development, extreme hot or cold temperatures, seedling disease, low soil fertility, high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or other pesticide injury. Severe crop injury will result if Verdict Trio is applied postemergence (over the top) to corn or soybean. Application Instructions Verdict Trio may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence to field corn, popcorn, pro- cessing sweet corn, and soybean. Apply Verdict Trio only before crop emergence. Rainfastness - Verdict Trio is rainfast 1 hour after appli- cation. Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation occurs within 1 hour of application. Application Rate Application rates of Verdict Trio for residual pre- emergence weed control may vary depending on soil texture and organic matter. Refer to Table 3 for soil texture groups used in this label. Table 3.

Refer to the Crop-specific Information section for specific applica- tion instructions (timings, rates, restrictions and precautions) by crop. Preplant Surface Application. Apply Verdict Trio alone or in tank mix within 30 days of planting. If weeds are pres- ent at the time of application, use additional weed control methods, for example a tank mix with an appropriate postemergence herbicide(s), to control emerged weeds. Burndown control of emerged grass weeds or additional broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix with another herbicide. Preplant Incorporated (PPI) Application. Incorporate Verdict Trio into the upper (1 to 2 inches) soil surface within 14 days of planting. Deeper incorporation may increase the potential for crop injury and also may result in reduced weed control. Use appropriate equipment for uni- form shallow incorporation, including a field cultivator, harrow, rolling cultivator, or finishing disc. Preemergence Surface Application. After planting and before crop emergence, apply a uniform broadcast treat- ment to the soil surface. Apply Verdict Trio only to a uniform seedbed which is firm and free of clods, cracks, excess trash (previous crop residue), and weed growth. If weeds are present, apply Verdict Trio in a tank mix with an appro priate postemergence herbicide, for example a glyphosate-containing product. Burndown control of emerged grass weeds or additional broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix with another herbicide. Fall/Winter Application for controlling weeds germi- nating in the fall, or winter weeds. Verdict Trio may be broadcast surface applied in the fall after crop harvest. DO NOT apply to frozen or snow-covered soil. Tillage oper- ations may be conducted before or after applying Verdict Trio. If tillage is used following an application, tillage must be shallow (no more than 2-inches deep) to uniformly incorporate the herbicide into the upper soil surface. Application Methods and Equipment Verdict Trio may be applied by aerial or ground applica- tion or by chemigation application via sprinkler irrigation. Thorough spray coverage is required for optimum weed control and can be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray volume selection. Use and configure application equipment to provide an adequate spray volume, an accu- rate and uniform distribution of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust equipment to maintain continuous agitation during spraying with good mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that increase rates above the use rates specified in this label. Verdict Trio may be applied using water or sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray carrier. Additionally, Verdict Trio may be impregnated on and applied with dry bulk fertilizer. Aerial Spray Carrier Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre. 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. Ground Spray Carrier Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per treated acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer per treated acre. Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is essential for burndown applica- tions and higher spray vol umes may be necessary for better performance.

12 Mandatory Spray Drift Management Aerial Applications

• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater applica- tion height is necessary for pilot safety.
• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wing- span for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Ground Applications
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. Buffer Restrictions Aerial Applications To avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas, applicators must maintain a 120-foot buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of nontarget terrestrial habitats (including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands). Ground Applications To avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas, applicators must maintain a 60-foot buffer between the application area and the closest downwind edge of nontarget terrestrial habitats (including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and crop lands). Spray Drift Advisories The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray drift. Be aware of nearby nontarget sites and environmen- tal 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 Volume. Increasing the spray volume so that larger drop- lets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. Pressure. Use the lowest spray pressure recommended 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 recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles must be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. Boom Height - Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. Release Height - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. 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 Inversion 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. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

13 Chemigation Application via Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Verdict® Trio herbicide may be applied as a chemigation treatment through sprinkler irrigation systems. Apply this product ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation system of the following type: center pivot, end tow, hand move, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, or solid set. DO NOT apply this product through any other type of sprinkler irriga- tion system. Application may be made alone or in tank mixes with other herbicides on this label registered for use in specified sprinkler irrigation systems. Application must be made within specific crop stage timings and product use rates given in the container directions for use label. Uniform distribution of Verdict Trio-treated irrigation water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. For calibration questions, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Proper calibration is the responsibility of the applicator. The system must be calibrated (with water only) to ensure the amount of Verdict Trio applied corresponds to the speci- fied rate. Apply Verdict Trio in volume minimums of 0.33 to 0.67 inches of water using the lower volume for coarse-texture soils and the higher volume for fine-texture soils. Applications made in high volumes of water (more than 1 inch) may result in reduced weed control. Meter herbicide dilution into irrigation water through the entire time of water application for center pivot and lateral move systems. For solid-set and hand-move irrigation systems, apply Verdict Trio through the system at the beginning of the set; then follow with additional water to reach volume minimums as listed by soil type. To increase calibration accuracy of injection metering equipment, dilute Verdict Trio in a minimum of 3 parts water to 1 part Verdict Trio. Maintain agitation in injection nurse tanks to keep a uniform herbicide suspension during application. Restrictions for chemigation:

1. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
2. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments if the need arise.
4. Tail water (runoff water) from chemigation that contains Verdict Trio must be recirculated and/or contained in the field in a cistern or holding reservoir from the initial application and/or used only on adjacent, approved crops for which Verdict Trio is registered for this type of application.
5. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a func- tional check valve, vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow. In addition, systems must use a metering pump, like a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and con- structed of materials compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
7. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain function- al interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesti- cide distribution is adversely affected.
8. The irrigation line or water pump must include a func- tional pressure switch that will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems:
9. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
10. Chemigation systems connected to public water sys- tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesti- cide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system may be discharged into a reservoir tank before pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the out- let end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
11. All chemigation systems connected to public water sys- tems must also follow restrictions listed in the preceding section. Ground Application (dry bulk fertilizer) Verdict Trio may be impregnated or coated onto dry bulk granular fertilizer carriers for residual soil surface applica- tion. Impregnation or coating may be conducted by in-plant bulk or on-board systems. Perform the mixing operation in well-ventilated areas. Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer and herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application because of high humidity, high urea concentration, or low fertilizer use rate. Slowly add the drying agent to the blend until a flowable mixture is obtained. Drying agents are not recommended for use with on-board impregnation systems.

14 Under some conditions, fertilizer impregnated with Verdict® Trio herbicide may clog air tubes or deflector plates on pneumatic application systems. Mineral oil may be added to Verdict Trio before blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging. DO NOT use drying agents when miner- al oil is used. To avoid separation of Verdict Trio and mineral oil mixes in cold temperatures, keep mixture heat- ed or agitated before blending with fertilizer. Mineral oil may be used at in-plant blending stations or on-board injection systems. Generally, fertilizer application rates of at least 200 lbs to 700 lbs per acre of herbicide and fertilizer blend provide adequate distribution or coverage for Verdict Trio across the soil surface. Apply uniformly to the soil to prevent pos- sible crop injury and offer satisfactory weed control. Impregnat ed fertilizer spread at 1/2 rate and overlapped for a full rate offer a more uniform distribution. Use shallow (less than 2 inches) incorporation for improved weed con- trol. Deeper incorporation dilutes the herbicide layer near the soil surface and may result in unsatisfactory weed control. To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertiliz- er applications: fl ozs herbicide per acre x 2000 = fl ozs herbicide per ton of fertilizerpounds fertilizer per acre Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the equipment before and after applying this product. Additives For optimum burndown activity with Verdict Trio, an adju- vant system must be used that includes the following: Adjuvant Rate Methylated seed oil (MSO)1 1 gal/100 gals (1% v/v)2 PLUS PLUS Ammonium sulfate (AMS) or Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) 8.5 to 17.0 lbs/100 gals (1% to 2% w/v) or 1.25 to 2.5 gals/100 gals (1.25% to 2.5% v/v) 1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methylated seed oil. Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than 60% methylated seed oil. 2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (less than 12.5 gallons/A) aerial or ground applications. When fluid fertilizer is used as the spray carrier, add 1 pint/A of MSO for optimum burndown activity. The use of AMS fertilizer is highly recommended when mixing Verdict Trio with glyphosate-based herbicides. DO NOT use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for MSO or poor performance on broadleaf weeds will occur. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. Tank Mixing Information It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limita- tions and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive direc- tions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Verdict Trio may be tank mixed or applied sequentially with other herbicide products registered for use in any labeled crop found in this label for a broader spectrum of residual weed control and/or control of emerged weeds. Refer to the tank mix product labels to confirm that the respective tank mix products are registered for use on the labeled crop. Read and follow tank mix product labels for application instructions, use restrictions and precau tions, and rotational cropping guidance. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.

1. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature.
2. Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order section using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use rate per acre.
3. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between com- ponent additions.
4. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
5. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution must not have free oil on the surface, or fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compati- ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then com- patible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank. Ammonium thiosulfate (ATS): BASF recommends using a compatability agent when tank mixing ammonium thiosulfate fertilizers with Verdict Trio or Verdict Trio tank mixtures.

15 Mixing Order Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and applica- tion until spraying is completed.

1. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.
3. 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.
4. Water-soluble additives (including dry and liquid fer- tilizers AMS or UAN)
5. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions

• Add Verdict ® Trio herbicide at this point in the mix- ing process)

6. Water-soluble products
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (including MSO adjuvants)
8. Remaining quantity of water If the spray mixture is allowed to settle for any period of time, thorough agitation is essential to resuspend spray mixture before spraying is resumed. Continue agitation while spraying. Use Restrictions • Maximum use rate - Refer to Crop-specific Information section for the maximum application use rates of Verdict Trio in each crop. • If additional saflufenacil, dimethenamid-P , or pyroxasulfone are applied from other product sources, refer to the Crop-specific Restrictions section for each crop use for the maximum cumulative amount per year for each active ingredient. • DO NOT apply Verdict Trio after crop emergence because severe crop injury will occur. • DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. • Verdict Trio is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State. Crop Rotation Intervals • Use Table 5 to determine the proper interval between Verdict Trio application and the planting of rotational crops.

Use the longer interval within listed ranges for indicated crops grown on coarse-texture soils with organic matter less than 2.0%. 5 Cover crops (winter, spring) may be planted after application of Verdict Trio, either inter-seeded into the current crop before harvest or after harvest of the current crop. Depending on the sensitivity of the sown cover crop to Verdict Trio, stand establishment may be reduced. If cover crops are sown for conservation purposes less than 4 months after Verdict Trio application, DO NOT harvest as a food or feed crop, and DO NOT allow livestock to graze cover crops.

17 Emergency Replanting Intervals • Field corn, popcorn, and sweet corn (according to appli- cation rates in Crop-specific Information) may be replanted immediately after crop failure (because of envi- ronmental factors, including drought, frost, hail, etc.). • Soybean (according to the application rates in Crop-specific Information ) may be replanted (accord- ing to the intervals in the chart following) after crop failure (because of environmental factors including drought, frost, hail, etc).

Crop-specific Information Read product information, mixing, application, weeds con- trolled, and adjuvant instructions in preceding sections of the label. Depending on specific crop application directions, Verdict Trio may be applied for residual control of germi- nating weed seedlings before planting (preplant) or after planting but before crop emergence (preemergence) (refer to Table 1 for list of weeds controlled) or burndown con- trol of emerged broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds controlled). Thorough spray coverage is required for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or varia- tions in weed size can prevent adequate spray coverage. Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring (e.g. horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov- erage and optimize burndown activity. Field Corn (grain, seed, silage), Popcorn, and Sweet Corn Verdict Trio may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence to corn. Corn in this label refers to field corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage), popcorn, and sweet corn (processing varieties only, not including sweet corn grown for seed or fresh market vari- eties). Before applying Verdict Trio to seed corn, processing sweet corn, or popcorn, verify the selectivity of Verdict Trio on your inbred line or hybrid with your local seed company (supplier) to help avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids. Application Rate Apply Verdict Trio in corn at the residual rates provided in Table 6, and in popcorn and processing sweet corn at residual rates in Table 7. Table 6.

18 Application Timing Fall Application For use only in Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin Verdict® Trio herbicide may be broadcast surface applied in the fall to control weeds in conventional, mini- mum tillage, or no-till corn production systems planted the following spring. Apply from 21 to 28 fluid ounces of Verdict Trio per acre to medium-texture and fine-texture soils with more than 2.5% organic matter. Fall applications must be made after October 1. Broadcast surface apply Verdict Trio in the fall after crop harvest when soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are sustained at less than 55º F and before the ground freez- es. Tillage operations may be conducted before or after applying Verdict Trio. When following an application, tillage must be no more than 2-inches to 3-inches deep to uniformly incorporate the herbicide into the upper soil sur- face. When a sequential application program (fall application followed by spring application of Verdict Trio) is used, the maximum combined rate of Verdict Trio that may be applied is 28 fluid ounces per acre per year. Early Preplant Surface Application (within 15 to 30 days of planting) Use application rates in Table 6 when making early pre- plant surface applications, using the highest application rate for a given soil texture. Early preplant surface applica- tions are not advised on coarse soils, in areas where average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches, or for popcorn or processing sweet corn. Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part of a split application program where applications are made as part of the application timings described in this label. However, the cumulative total of sequential application rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a given soil texture. Preplant Surface and Preplant Incorporated Application (within 14 days of planting) Apply Verdict Trio at use rates specified in Table 6 and Table 7 as a broadcast spray to the soil surface or incor- porated before planting on all soil types. Preemergence Surface Application Apply Verdict Trio at use rates specified in Table 6 and Table 7 as a broadcast spray to the soil surface after planting and before crop emergence. Verdict Trio must be applied before crop emergence or injury will occur. Burndown plus Residual Weed Control In addition to residual weed control at any of the applica- tion timings previously described, Verdict Trio also provides burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in Table 2. An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for details) is required for optimum burndown activity. Burndown control of emerged grass weeds or additional broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix with another herbicide (like glyphosate). Residual preemergence application rates of Verdict Trio can follow a fall or early preplant burndown application of Sharpen ® herbicide. However, DO NOT apply more than the annual maximum cumulative amount per acre of saflufenacil from all product sources. A minimum of 14 days is required between Verdict Trio and Sharpen applications. Burndown Weed Control Only If limited or no residual broadleaf weed control is desired, Verdict Trio can be applied at 5.5 fl ozs/A (all soil types) with an adjuvant system any time before corn emergence for burndown of broadleaf weeds listed in Table 2. A burn- down application of Verdict Trio can be followed by residual rates of Verdict Trio (Table 6) or Sharpen. Sep- arate sequential applications by at least 14 days. However, DO NOT apply more than the annual maximum cumulative amount per acre of saflufenacil from all product sources. Enhanced Burndown in Seed Corn. Apply Verdict Trio preplant surface or preemergence at 5.5 to 11 fl ozs/A with an adjuvant system for enhanced burndown broadleaf weed control in seed corn before crop emergence. DO NOT apply more than 5.5 fl ozs/A on coarse soils. A sequential application of Verdict Trio may be made with a minimum of 30 days between applications. DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of 21 fl ozs/A of Verdict Trio per year in seed corn. Crop-specific Restrictions • DO NOT apply Verdict Trio after corn emergence or severe crop injury will occur. • DO NOT apply Verdict Trio where an at-planting appli- cation of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticide(s) is planned and/or has occurred because severe injury may result. Verdict Trio may be applied with all other classes of at-planting insecticides including neonicotinoids and pyrethoids. EXCEPTION: Verdict Trio may be applied when Aztec ® 2.1% Granular Insecticide , AZTEC® 4.67 G granular insecticide , or SmartChoiceTM 5G granular insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or infurrow. • DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of 28 fl ozs/A of Verdict Trio per year. • Maximum number of applications per year: 2 • Separate sequential applications by at least 14 days. • If additional saflufenacil is applied from other product sources, DO NOT apply more than the following maxi- mum cumulative amount of saflufenacil per year in corn: 0.134 lb ai/A on all soils. • If additional dimethenamid-P is applied from other prod- uct sources, DO NOT apply more than the following maximum cumulative amount of dimethenamid-P per year in corn: 1.125 lbs ai/A on all soils.

19 • If additional pyroxasulfone is applied from other product sources, DO NOT apply more than the following maxi- mum cumulative amounts of pyroxasulfone per year in corn: 0.146 lb ai/A on coarse soils, 0.159 lb ai/A on medi- um soils, and 0.213 lb ai/A on fine soils. • DO NOT harvest sweet corn ears for human consump- tion less than 37 days after application of Verdict ® Trio herbicide. • Corn, popcorn, or sweet corn forage and silage must not be harvested, fed, or grazed sooner than 80 days after application. • There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre- plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence application of Verdict Trio and the harvest of field corn grain, popcorn, and seed corn. Corn forage, stover, and sweet corn cannery waste may be fed to livestock after harvest. Crop-specific Precautions • Verdict Trio application may result in delayed corn emergence and stunting under certain environmental conditions including cool temperatures, excessive rain- fall/irrigation, and/or persistent wet soil conditions occurring after application. • Ensure the corn seed row is closed. Soil conditions that cause poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result in delayed corn emergence or stunting. • Verdict Trio applied to processing sweet corn planted at a depth of 1/2 inch or less may result in crop injury. Fallow Verdict Trio may be used as a burndown treatment to control broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the fallow period following crop harvest and before the follow- ing crop is planted. Application Rate and Timing Apply Verdict Trio as a broadcast burndown spray at 5.5 to 11 fl ozs/A plus recommended adjuvants (refer to Additives section for details). For best product perfor- mance, apply Verdict Trio when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds controlled). Thorough coverage of existing weeds is essential and higher spray volumes may be needed for best performance. Sequential applications may be made with a minimum of 14 days between applications; DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount of 28 fl ozs/A of Verdict Trio per year. For residual weed control, Verdict Trio may be applied at 11 to 28 fl ozs/A. Specific rotational crop intervals must be observed between an application of Verdict Trio and planting of the following crop (see Crop Rotation Intervals section for crop rotation restrictions). Soybean Verdict Trio may be applied in the fall and/or in the spring as a preplant or preemergence burndown application in conventional and reduced-till or no-till soybean for broad- leaf weed control. An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for details) is required for optimum burndown activity. Under high soil moisture and/or cool conditions, Verdict Trio application may cause temporary stunting or leaf chlorosis/necrosis of soybean. Soybean normally out- grows these symptoms within 10 to 14 days. Not for use in soybean in California. Application Rate and Timing Fall Application Apply Verdict Trio at 5.5 to 11 fl ozs/A for burndown broadleaf weed control after the prior crop is harvested. For residual weed control, Verdict Trio may be applied up to 17.0 fl ozs/A. Application must be made before first kill- ing frost. Fall application can be made to all soil types. Spring Application For all spring applications of Verdict Trio, refer to Soybean Planting Interval information for minimum planting intervals. Apply Verdict Trio early preplant through preemergence at 5.5 fl ozs/A for burndown broadleaf weed control before crop emergence. Apply Verdict Trio early preplant at 8.5 to 11 fl ozs/A for burndown plus residual weed control. Sequential Application Apply Verdict Trio following a fall or early preplant burn- down application of Sharpen® herbicide OR Verdict Trio (at 5.5 to 11 fl ozs/A). However, DO NOT apply more than the annual maximum cumulative amount per acre of saflufenacil from all product sources; see Crop- specific Restrictions section. A minimum of 30 days and 60 days is required between product applica- tions totaling 0.043 lb ai/A and 0.066 lb ai/A of saflufenacil, respectively. Soybean Planting Interval Depending on Verdict Trio use rate, soil texture, and organic matter, an interval between Verdict Trio applica- tion and plant ing may be required (see Table 8 and Table 9). This interval must be observed before planting soybean or crop injury may occur.
