INFORMATION Axiom® DF Herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of many an nual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in winter wheat and fall seeded triticale, perennial grasses grown for seed, timothy grown for seed or hay, field corn, corn grown for silage, and soybeans.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY Axiom DF Herbicide controls weeds by interfering with seed germination and seedling development. Axiom DF Herbicide contains two different active ingredients with different modes of action for weed control. Flufenacet is an oxyacetamide, (Group 15) which inhibits very long chain fatty acids and metribuzin is a triazinone, (Group 5) a PSII Site A inhibitor. Axiom DF Herbicide acts primarily as a shoot inhibitor on susceptible weeds. It is important for best weed control results to have Axiom DF Herbicide in place and activated with moisture prior to weed emergence.

USE RESTRICTIONS Axiom DF Herbicide is for use on soybeans, field corn, corn gr own for silage, grasses grown for seed, timothy grown for seed or hay, winter wheat, fall seeded triticale and field corn grown for seed. DO NOT apply to popcorn or sweet corn. DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. DO NOT apply aerially. DO NOT use flood irrigation to apply, activate, or incorporate Axiom DF Herbicide. DO NOT apply more than 23 oz Axiom DF Herbicide (0.78 lb ai/A flufenacet, 0.19 lb ai/A metribuzin) per acre per year in corn, 13 oz (0.44 lb ai/A flufenacet,0.11 lb ai/A metribuzin) per acre per year in soybeans or annual grasse s grown for seed, and 10 oz(0.3 4 lb ai/A flufenacet,0.08 lb ai/A metribuzin) per acre per year in winter wheat or timothy grown for seed or hay. DO NOT apply more than 13 oz of Axiom DF Herbicide (0.44 lb ai/A flufenacet,0.11 lb ai/A metrib uzin) per acre per season for perennial grasses grown for seed w ith a maximum of 2 seasons per year. For all metribuzin products used, DO NOT apply more than a total of 1 lb ai/A per year of metribuzin. Field corn seed should be planted a minimum of 1-1/2 inches deep and soybean seed should be planted a minimum of 1 inch deep. If any crop treated with Axiom DF Herbicide is lost, field corn or soybeans may be replanted immediately. DO NOT make a second application of Axiom DF Herbicide.

This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lake s and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capp ed or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equ ipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conduc ted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any pro duct spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water sha ll not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means th e pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to cont ain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a ro of of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation fro m contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or applicatio n equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. This product must be used in a manner, which will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.

SPRAY DRIFT

1. When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
2. Applicators are required to use Medium droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
3. DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
4. DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES

The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors det ermines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply la rge droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and contro l. 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 DRIF T IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.

Controlling Droplet Size x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. x Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for th e 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. x Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.

BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest referenced 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 APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affe ct 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.

5

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperat ure 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.

POLLINATOR ADVISORY STATEMENT This product contains an herbicide, therefore follow all label directions and precautions to minimize potential off-target exp osure in order to prevent effects to non-target plants adjacent to th e treated site which may serve as habitat or forage for pollinat ors, including monarch butterflies (and larvae), birds, and bats.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT AXIOM DF Herbicide is a Group 15 Herbicide (inhibition of very long chain fatty acids) and Group 5 Herbicide (Photosystem II Inhibitor). A given weed population may contain or develop resistance to a herbicide after repeated use. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed to mitigate or delay resistance. The following Integrated Weed Management Techniques are effective in reducing problems with herbicide resistant weed biotypes. It is best to use multiple practices to manage or delay resistance, as no single strategy is likely to be totally effective.

x Rotate crops. Crop rotation diversifies weed management. x Rotate herbicide-tolerant traits. Alternate herbicide-tolerant (HT) traits and/or use HT trait stacks for more efficient rotation. x Use multiple herbicide sites of action. Use tankmix partners and multiple SOAs during both the growing season and from year to year to reduce the selection pressure of a single SOA. x Know your weeds, know your fields. Closely monitor problematic areas with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations. User should scout before and after application. x Start with clean fields. Effective tillage or the use of a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to planting. x Stay clean – use residual herbicides. Regardless of tillage system, pre-emergence or early post-emergence soil-applied residual herbicides should be used when possible. x Apply herbicides correctly. Ensure proper application, including timing, full use-rates and appropriate spray volumes. x Control weed escapes. Consider spot herbicide applications, row wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds or other techniques to stop weed seed production and improve weed management. x Zero tolerance – reduce the seed bank. DO NOT allow surviving weeds to set seed, which will help decrease weed populations from year to year and prevent major weed shifts. x Clean equipment. Prevent the spread of herbicide-resistant weeds and their seeds.

Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisory and /or Bayer CropScience representative for additional resistance management or IPM recommendation.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Always follow the label instructions of the tankmix partner as we ll as Axiom DF Herbicide. Com patibility of Axiom DF Herbicide or its labeled tank mix products should always be predetermined prior to spraying. Check the compatibility of Axiom DF Herbicide and t he tankmix partner(s) by mixing all components in the order specified in the Mixing Order section and water, in a small separate container to evaluate compatibility prior to adding them to the tank. Axiom DF Herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water. For optimal spray tank mixing convenience and effic iency, Axiom DF Herbicide is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an eductor system. Before mixing Axiom DF Herbicide and its labeled tank mix partners , examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely cl ean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clean water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate. This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lake s and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capp ed or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equ ipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless cond ucted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any pro duct spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water sha ll not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material

removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to cont ain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a ro of of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation fro m contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or applicatio n equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing / loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment. This product must be used in a manner, which will prevent back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates.

MIXING ORDER The proper mixing sequence for Axiom DF Herbicide and recommended tank mixtures with water carrier is as follows:

1. Fill sprayer tank to ¼ to ½ full with water. Start the agitation.
2. Slowly add required Axiom DF Herbicide through the eductor system or to the spray tank slowly while agitation is running.
3. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products, they may be added now.
4. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank now.
5. Complete addition of water to fill the sprayer tank.
6. Vigorously agitate spray tank contents for an additional 5 minutes prior to beginning application.
7. Maintain agitation until application of sprayer contents is complete.

Axiom DF Herbicide and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. Upon completion of application of each spray tank, check and clean 50 mesh in line filter(s). Repeat this step following each load. It is recommended to check individual nozzle filters every third tank load. DO NOT allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time, no more than 12 hours. APPLICATION INFORMATION Apply Axiom DF Herbicide alone or in combination with recommended tank mixes as a broadcast spray in 10 or more gallons of wate r per acre. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessa ry to move Axiom DF Herbicide into the upper soil surface whe re weed seeds germinate.

GROUND APPLICATION: Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied by ground equipment only. Apply as a broadcast spray by ground equipment in 10 or more gallons of water per acre.

Confirm that spray tank is equipped with a sparge tube agitator, mechanical agitation devices or jet agitator devices that are capable of providing vigorous agitation while mixing. Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatment to deliver the product(s) in at least 10 GPA of water.

The use of screens to protect the pump and nozzles is recommended. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16- mesh or coarser. Equip sprayer with 50 mesh in line filter(s) located between the pump discharge and the spray boom. This filter may be located prior to each spray boom section. If nozzle filters are used, use 50 mesh or coarser nozzle filters as recommended by n ozzle manufacturer. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line. Application must be made at a sufficient spray pressure and volume to provide accurate and uniform application of spray particles to a given area without causing spray drift to non-target areas.

Refer to the nozzle manufacturer for proper nozzle, pressure setting and sprayer speed for optimum product performance and minimal spray drift. Maintain consistent ground speed while applying product to ensure proper distribution. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanical agitation. Maintain adequate in-tank agitatio n to keep the spray mixture in suspension and provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times.

TANK CLEANUP PROCEDURE

1. Drain the tank completely, and then wash out tank , boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water and add ammonia (i.e., 3% domestic ammonia solution) at a dilution rate of 1% (i.e., 1 gallon of domestic ammonia for every 100 gallons of rinsate). Complete filling of the tank with water. Agitate/recirculate and flush through boom and hoses. Leave agitation on for 10 minutes. Drain tank completely.
3. Repeat step 2.
4. Remove nozzles and screens and soak them in a 1% ammonia solution. Inspect nozzles and screens and remove visible residues.
5. Flush tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
6. Inspect tank for visible residues. If present, repeat step 2.

AXIOM DF HERBICIDE USE IN WINTER WHEAT AND FALL SEEDED TRITICALE Axiom DF Herbicide may be used to control certain annual grass a nd broadleaf weeds when applied after the crop has fully germin ated to early postemergence in winter wheat. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied alone, in tankmix combination and in a sequential herbicide program with other registered herbicides.

CROP Plant wheat at a depth of 1 – 2 inches. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied after the crop has fully germinated up to a maximum of 2 leaves emerged. Application to the crop between spiking and 2 leaf is preferred in most areas however, in WA, OR, and ID only, as long as the wheat is planted at a depth of 1.5” or deeper, application may be made upon wheat germination or later up until 2 leaves have emerged.

For pre-emergent use in Wheat: The REI is 12 hours. For post-emergent use in Wheat: The REI is 2 days.

Excessive rainfall after application may cause crop injury to young seedlings.

Variety selection: Commonly grown varieties have shown excellent tolerance to Axiom DF Herbicide but tolerance of all varieties to Axiom DF Herbicide is not known and Axiom DF Herbicide may cause crop injury. You should consult with a local Cooperative Extension agent or Bayer CropScience representative for specific regional information. If a variety or hybrid has not been tested (especially newly released varieties), treat only a small area until tolerance is confirmed before treating large acreages.

AXIOM DF HERBICIDE USE RATES

Axiom DF Herbicide use rates are based on soil type. Select the appropriate rate from the following table: AXIOM DF HERBICIDE IN WINTER WHEAT AND TRITICALE Axiom DF Herbicide Broadcast Rates/A APPLICATION TIMINGS AND REMARKS Soil Texture Rate (oz of Axiom DF Herbicide/A)

Apply specified rate for soil type as a uniform broadcast spray using 10 or more gallons of water per acre.

DO NOT add crop oil concentrates, vegetable oils and/or petroleum oils to the tankmixture as crop injury may occur.

Crop Timing: Wheat at spiking – 2 leaf *

Weed Timing: Preemergence up to 1 leaf

Coarse Texture (Sand, Loamy sand and Sandy loam) 4 – 6 Medium Texture (Loam, Silt loam, Silt, Sandy clay loam and Sandy clay) 6 - 8 Fine Texture (Silty clay loam, Silty clay, Clay loam and Clay) 8 – 10

• In WA, OR, and ID only, as long as the wheat is planted at a depth of 1.5” or deeper, application may be made upon wheat germination or later up until 2 leaves have emerged.

WEED CONTROL

Axiom DF Herbicide is applied preemergence to the weeds for the control of many important annual grass and broadleaf species. For most thorough weed control results, Axiom DF Herbicide followed by a postemergence herbicide application is recommended. Axiom DF Herbicide is applied and subsequently moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation prior to weed emergence. Less than 1/2 inch of rainfall or irrigation within 2 weeks following application may result in reduced weed control. Weed control may be reduced if excessive straw from the previous crop is present at Axiom DF Herbicide application. If excessive straw is present, uniformly spread the straw across the field, and/or remove/burn the straw prior to application.

Best Management Practices:

1. Control any emerged weeds at or prior to planting by tillage or through the application of a nonselective herbicide
2. Make Axiom DF Herbicide applications prior to the 1-leaf stage of growth of the weed
3. Use the highest specified rate by soil type
4. Follow the Axiom DF Herbicide treatment with a postemergence application of a herbicide such as Osprey to control weeds that may emerge later

Partially controlled weeds will be stunted in growth and/or be reduced in number as compared to non-treated areas but performance may not be commercially acceptable. Weed control may vary from poor to excellent depending on soil characteristics, stage of growth at application and environmental conditions at and following application.

HERBICIDE TANKMIXES WITH AXIOM DF HERBICIDE To expand the spectrum of weed control of both annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, Axiom DF Herbicide may be tank mixed with other preemergence herbicides.

INFORMATION FOR AXIOM DF HERBICIDE USE in FIELD CORN, CORN GROWN FOR SILAGE AND SOYBEANS Axiom DF Herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of many annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in field corn, corn grown for silage, and soybeans. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied preplant surface, preplant inco rporated (mix into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of soil) and preemergence. Axiom DF Herbicide will provide its most effective weed control when applied and subsequently moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence. Axiom DF Herbicide controls weeds by interfering with seed germination and seedling development. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied using either water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied either alone or in tank mix combination with additional herbicides. When tank mixing, always observe all precautionary statements and limitations on labeling of all products. Dry weather following preemergence application of Axiom DF Herbicide or recommended tank mixtures may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop. For pre-emergent use in corn and soybeans: The REI is 12 hours. For post-emergent use in corn: The REI is 4 days for hand-set irrigation and 24 hours for all other activities. For post-emergent use in soybeans: The REI is 2 days.

RATE SELECTION/SOIL TEXTURE The specified rates of Axiom DF Herbicide are defined by texture and organic matter content of the soil being treated. Unless a specific soil texture is mentioned, rate tables throughout this label refer to the following three soil texture groups: coarse, medium and fine. If you are not sure how to classify your soil, contact your Bayer Crop Science representative, the Cooperative Extension Service or oth er knowledgeable person. The following chart includes a complete listing of soil textures included in each of the soil textures groupings:

COARSE MEDIUM FINE Sand Loamy sand Sandy loam Loam Silt loam Silt Sandy clay loam Sandy clay Silty clay loam Silty clay Clay loam Clay

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Liquid Carriers: Axiom DF Herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable fluid fertilizer. Compatibility of Axiom DF Herbicide or its labeled tank mix products with these liquid carriers shoul d always be predetermined prior to spraying. Refer to the SPRA YABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST (Appendix I) of this label to determine product compatibility in fluid fertilizer carriers. Before mixing Axiom DF Herbicide and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment making sure it is completely clean and free of rust or corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used pesticides. Flush lines with clea n water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an approved method for disposing of rinsate. For optimal spray tank mixing convenience and efficiency, Axiom DF Herbicide is recommended to be added to the spray tank via an eductor system. The proper mixing sequence for Axiom DF Herbicide and recommended tank mixtures with the appropriate liquid carrier is as follows:

1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier.
2. Start recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application.
3. If the compatibility test indicates the need of a compatib ility agent, add the recommended amount of compatibility agent to the spray tank.
4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now.
5. Next add the specified quantity of Axiom DF Herbicide through the eductor system or to the spray tank [slowly add Axiom DF Herbicide if water or sprayable grade nitrogen fertilizers (28- 0-0, 32-0-0) are the carriers; for other sprayable grade fertilizers first check compatibility and then either mix directly or preslurry first in water depending on the results of the compatibility test].
6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products in water as the carrier, they may be added now. If tank mixing these products in a sprayable grade fertilizer carrier, first pres lurry these products with water and then slowly add them to a ny sprayable grade fertilizer carrier.
7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank.
8. If tank mixing with a glyphosate- containing product or Touchdown ®, add the products to the spray tank.

17

9. If mixing spray adjuvants in the mixture, add them after all other products have been mixed.
10. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier.
11. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty. Axiom DF Herbicide and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed immediately. DO NOT allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or other components of the mixture may affect how long the mixture may stand before application.

APPLICATION INFORMATION SPRAYER APPLICATION Ground Broadcast Treatment: Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply Axiom DF Herbicide and the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gallons of total spray volume per acre using broadcast boom equipment. Use a pump with capacity to maintain 30 to 40 psi at the nozzles, maintain adequate in-tank agitation to keep the spray mixture in suspension and provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Application must be made at a sufficient spray pressure and volume to provide accurate an d uniform application of spray particles to a given area without causing spray drift to non-target areas. If mixed with other labeled herbicides, the spray volume may be no less than the minimum volume recommended by the tank mix product or 10 gallons, whichever is greater . The use of screens to protect the pump and nozzles is recommended . Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16- mesh or coarser. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Refer to the nozzle manufacture r for additional recommendations. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanical agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use. Band Treatment: Axiom DF Herbicide and the labeled tank mixtures may be applied as a band treatment. Use the following formula to calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatments: Band width in inches X Broadcast rate = Band rate Row width in inches per acre per acre

APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMING Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied either alone or in tank mixtures with or sequentially with certain other registered and recommended herbicides provided that, for tank mixes, the labeling for the other herbicide does not prohibit such mixing. Applications may be made preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence. Axiom DF Herbicide may be used in either a single or split application program. DO NOT apply when environmental conditions favor drift. Preplant Surface: For use in conservation, minimum or no- tillage crop production systems, Axiom DF Herbicide alone or as a recommended tank mixture may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 45 days before planting field corn and 14 days before planti ng soybeans. A sequential application is recommended for applications made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, where 2/3 of the highe st specified broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture is applied initially and the remaining 1/3 is applied at planting. Treatments made less than 30 days before planting may use either a single or a sequential application. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply the Axiom DF Herbicide treatment in tank mixture with a recommended nonselective herbicide such as a glyphosate-containing product or Touchdown. If possible, DO NOT move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the soil surface during planting, as weed control may be reduced. Preplant Incorporation: Apply Axiom DF Herbicide alone or in combination with recommended tank mixes as a broadcast spray and incorporate into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil surface up to 14 days before planting. Avoid deep incorporation since redu ced weed control and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements, which provide uniform, shallow incorporation (example -finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, etc.) Pre-emergence: Axiom DF Herbicide alone and its recommended tank mixes may be applied to the soil surface as a broadcast spray or band application after planting of the crop but prior to weed or crop emergence. If weeds are present at the time of applicatio n, apply Axiom DF Herbicide with a nonselective herbicide such as a glyphosate -containing product or Touchdown. Rainfall and/or overhead sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move Axiom DF Herbicide into the upper soil surface where weed seeds germinate. Dry weather conditions following application may reduce weed control. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days after applications and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/2 inch deep) will improve performance and minimize crop damage. Excessive rainfall or irrigation after application may reduce weed control. Special Applications: Fall Application (for use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Route 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north of Interstate 70 in OH): Following harvest of crops in the fall, Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied to crop stubble after October 15, when the sustained soil temperature at the four-inch soil depth is less than 50 oF, but before the ground is frozen. This application is limited to only medium- and fine-textured soils with an organic matter of 2.5% or greater a nd which will be planted to field corn the following spring. The soil may be tilled before or after application with incorporation depth no more than two to three inches following herbicide application. I f a spring application of Axiom DF Herbicide follows the fall application, the total Axiom DF Herbicide rate for both applications must not exceed 23 oz.

18

CORN (FIELD AND SEED AND SILAGE) Axiom DF Herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of most annual grasses and selected annual broadleaf weeds in field corn. A single or split application program may be used and the product may be applied alone or in tank-mix combination with certain registere d herbicides. The following types of applications are allowed: prepl ant surface, preplant incorporated and preemergence. Most eff ective weed control will occur when the applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence from the soil. For pre-emergent use in corn: The REI is 12 hours. For post-emergent use in corn: The REI is 4 days for hand-set irrigation and 24 hours for all other activities. Special Precautions (Field Seedcorn Inbreds): Field seedcorn inbred lines may vary in their response to Axiom DF Herbicide. DO NOT apply Axiom DF Herbicide to inbreds without first verifying with your local seedcorn company (supplier) the Axiom DF Herbicide selectivity on your inbred line. Application timing for Axiom DF Herbicide on field seedcorn inbreds are only preplant surface and preemergence. DO NOT apply preplant incorporated. DO NOT apply Axiom DF Herbicide on field seedcorn inbreds grown on coarse textured soils with less than 1.0% organic matter. WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED BY AXIOM DF HERBICIDE Axiom DF Herbicide applied at specified dosages and application timings will control many important annual grasses and broadlea f weeds.

SOYBEAN Axiom DF Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control/supp ression of annual grasses and selected broadleaf weeds in soybe ans. Axiom DF Herbicide may be applied once per year either alone or in tank mix combination with or sequentially with certain regis tered herbicides. The following types of application are allowed: preplan t surface, preplant incorporated and preemergence. The prepl ant surface and preplant incorporate treatments may be applied up to 14 days before planting. The most effective weed control will occur when the applied product is moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation, or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergenc e from the soil. DO NOT graze or feed forage, hay, or straw to livestock. For pre-emergent use in soybeans: The REI is 12 hours. For post-emergent use in soybeans: The REI is 2 days.

WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED BY AXIOM DF HERBICIDE Axiom DF Herbicide applied alone at the specified dosages and application timings will provide control of certain annual grasse s and broadleaf weeds.

WEEDS CONTROLLED1 ANNUAL GRASS WEEDS Barnyardgrass (Echinocloa crusgalli) Crabgrass, large (Digitaria sanguinalis) Crabgrass, smooth (Digitaria ischaemum) Foxtail, giant (Setaria faberi) Foxtail, green (Setaria viridis) Foxtail, yellow (Setaria glauca) Goosegrass (Eleusine indica) Lovegrass, India (Eragrostis sp) Panicum, fall (Panicum dichotomiflorum) ANNUAL BROADLEAF WEEDS Carpetweed (Mullugo verticillata) Galinsoga spp. (Galinsoga spp.) Purslane, common (Portulaca oleracea) Spurge, spotted (Euphorbia maculata) 1 Full season weed control will be achieved only on coarse textured soils using the maximum 13-ounce use rate. Use rates of 7 to 13 oz will provide only early season weed control on all other soil textures. To complement early season weed control, Axiom DF Herbicide is recommended for use in tank-mixture with or sequentially with other herbicides that provide additional control of these weeds species.

25

WEED SPECIES PARTIALLY CONTROLLED BY AXIOM DF HERBICIDE Axiom DF Herbicide will provide partial control or reduced compet ition for additional grass and broadleaf weeds. Reduced compet ition weeds will be stunted in growth and/or be of reduced population s as compared to non-treated areas but control will generally no t be commercially acceptable.

WEED SPECIES PARTIALLY CONTROLLED ANNUAL GRASS WEEDS Johnsongrass, seedling (Sorghum halepense) Panicum, browntop (Panicum fasciculatum) Sandbur, field (Cenchrus incertus) Signalgrass, broadleaf (Brachiaria platyphylla) Shattercane (Sorghum bicolor) Witchgrass (Panicum capillare) ANNUAL BROADLEAF WEEDS Beggarweed, Florida (Desmodium tortuosum) Jimsonweed (Datura stramonium) Lambsquarters, common (Chenopodium album) Mustard spp. (Brassica spp.) Pigweed spp. (Amaranthus spp.) Ragweed, common (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) Sida, prickly (Sida spinosa) Smartweed, Pennsylvania (Polygonum pensylvanicum) Waterhemp, common (Amaranthus rudis) Waterhemp, tall (Amaranthus tuberculatus) AXIOM DF HERBICIDE USE RATES The use rate for Axiom DF Herbicide applied alone, in tank- mi x combination with and/or sequentially with other herbicides for all application methods and timings is 7 to 13 oz per acre. The 13-ounce rate of Axiom DF Herb icide alone will provide full season control of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in coarse textured soils but will provide only early season weed control on medium and fine textured soils. Rates lower than 13 oz will provide only early season weed control on all soil textures. To complement thi s early season weed control, Axiom DF Herbicide should be used in tank -mixture or sequentially with other herbicides that provide addit ional control of these weed species.

AXIOM DF HERBICIDE TANK MIXTURES If a broader spectrum of weed control or improved residual activi ty is required, Axiom DF Herbicide may be tank mixed with cert ain recommended herbicides. Mixtures may be used in conventional, conservation, minimum, and no-tillage systems. They may be applie d with similar timings and methods as Axiom DF Herbicide alone unless specifically prohibited in the mix partner product label. Three-way or multiple tank mixtures are permitted unless restricted by the mix partner product labels. Refer to the individual product la bels for use rates, precautions, and/or restrictions.

CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS – ALL USES To ensure safety of rotational crops, the following rotational intervals must be followed:

Immediately Corn, Field Soybean 7 Days Wheat1, Winter Triticale1, Fall -seeded 1 month Potato 4 months Carrot Wheat, Spring Wheat2, Winter Triticale2, Fall -seeded 8 months Cotton 12 months Alfalfa Barley Bermudagrass Bluegrass Bromegrass Buckwheat Clover Fescue Millet, pearl Millet, prose Oats Popcorn Rice Rye Sorghum Teosinte

Wild Rice Other crops not listed (except root crops) 18 months Onions Sugarbeet Other root crops not listed 1 Where rates of 10 oz/A or less have been applied. 2 Where any other labeled rate of Axiom DF Herbicide greater than 10 oz/A has been applied. In the event of a crop failure after application of Axiom DF Herbicide, only the crops listed above can be planted, after waiting the directed period of time. DO NOT make a second application of Axiom DF Herbicide. In areas where a rotation to a desired crop is not specified, conduct a field bioassay as described in the FIELD BIOASSAY section of this label.

FIELD BIOASSAY A field bioassay must be conducted for crops not listed on this label and for crops listed on the label for which a shorter plant-back interval than listed is desired. To conduct a field bioassay, plant strips of the crop you want to grow the season following Axiom DF Herbicide application. Mon itor the crop for response to Axiom DF Herbicide treatment to determine if the crop can be grown safely in previously treated Axiom DF Herbicide areas. Regardless of the bioassay results, DO NOT plant any crop other than those listed closer than 4 months after an Axiom DF Herbicide application.

APPENDIX I SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST A compatibility test is highly recommended for all applications with liquid fertilizers. Prior to mixing products in the spray tank, small quantities of each product can be mixed in proportionate quantities to evaluate compatibilities. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. If other spray volumes are to be used, adjust the appropriate amounts of ingredients. To check for comp atibility, use the following procedure:

1. Add two inches of water to a one-quart jar fitted with a tight lid.
2. Add the appropriate amount of herbicide. If more than one product is used, the recommended mix sequence is the dry herbicide first, flowables next and emulsified concentrates last. For dry herbici des, add 1-1/2 level tsp/lb/A use rate and for liquids add 1/2 tsp/pt/A use rate.

27

3. Add one pint of the liquid fertilizer to the jar. Place the lid on the jar and gently shake the jar for one minute. Place th e jar on a level surface and let it stand for 30 minutes.
4. Observe the mixture for signs of separation, flakes, gels, precipitates, etc. If none of these conditions occur, the mix is compatible.
5. If incompatible, use of a compatibility agent is recommended. Rerun the above test but first add a compatibility agent (1/4 tsp is equal to a use rate of 2 pt/100 gal spray mix) and gently shake the jar prior to adding herbicides.
6. If the mixture is now compatible, a compatibility agent should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate.
7. If the mixture is still incompatible, the liquid fertilizer and herbicides should not be mixed together for use in the same spray tank.

28
