PRODUCT INFORMATION
TripleFLEX II Herbicide is a unique combination of the herbicides
acetochlor, flumetsulam, and clopyralid that control weeds by
interfering with normal germination and seedling development.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide is designed for use on conventional and
herbicide tolerant field corn and silage corn, such as Liberty Link®
field and silage corn, and including Corn with Roundup Ready
2 Technology including Roundup Ready Corn 2. It may be applied
to the soil surface or incorporated into the top 1-2 inches of soil. It
is specified for use alone or in tank mix combinations for control or
partial control of grasses and broadleaf weeds listed in the “WEEDS
CONTROLLED” section of this label. TripleFLEX II Herbicide may
provide postemergence activity on susceptible broadleaf weeds up
to 2 inches tall that are present at application but will not provide
postemergence activity on emerged grass weeds. If grass and
broadleaf weeds are present at the time of application, best results
will be achieved by tank mixing a herbicide such as a Roundup
agricultural herbicide, dicamba or 2,4-D.
Use Restrictions
Not for Sale, Sale Into, Distribution and/or Use in Nassau and Suffolk
Counties of New York State.
On the following soil types, do not apply this product within 50 feet
of any well where the depth to ground water is 30 feet or less: sands
with less than 3 percent organic matter; loamy sands with less than
2 percent organic matter; or sandy loams with less than 1 percent
organic matter. See the figure for additional clarification.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of
irrigation system.
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment.
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of any
wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink
holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or
impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to
properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to
impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this
product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment
or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless
conducted 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 product spills or equipment leaks, container or
equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on pad.
Surface water shall 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 contain a minimum of 110 percent
of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient
size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the
pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100 percent
of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above
shall be maintained at all times. The above specified 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.
Product must be used in a manner which will prevent back
siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide,
spray mixtures or rinsates.
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of
soil containing this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site
movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions
are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil
surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly
compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered soils.
Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of
treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of
rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To
minimize spray drift to non-target areas:
Use low-pressure application equipment capable of producing a
large droplet spray. Do not use nozzles that produce a fine droplet
spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray volume to ensure
adequate coverage with large droplet size sprays.
Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the
target surface.

Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product
deposition (approximately 3 to 10 miles per hour). Do not apply
when wind velocity exceeds 15 miles per hour. Avoid application
when gusts approach 15 miles per hour.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of
spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid spraying during conditions
of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during
inversion conditions.
Do not use liquid fertilizers as the carrier for applications of
TripleFLEX II Herbicide after the crop has emerged or crop injury
may occur.
Uneven application or uneven incorporation of TripleFLEX II
Herbicide can result in erratic weed control or crop injury. Over
application may result in crop injury or rotational crop damage from
soil residue.
Maximum Application Rates: The total cumulative maximum
application amount of TripleFLEX II Herbicide on corn is 3.5 pints
per acre per crop year.
Do not exceed 3.0 pints per acre in a single application.
Use of this product not consistent with this label may result in injury
to persons, animals or crops, or other unintended consequences.
Restrictions and Precautions for Soil Application (Not Applicable to
Postemergence Application)
Corn Planting Depth: Plant at a minimum depth of at least
1½ inches.
Do not apply to areas where the soil pH is greater than 7.8 as this
may result in increased crop injury.
Do not apply to a soil containing greater than 5% organic matter if
the soil pH is below 5.9, as reduced weed control will result.
Use of TripleFLEX II Herbicide in soil-applied treatments on soils with
less than 1.5% organic matter (O.M.) may result in crop injury. Apply
as a soil-treatment to fields which have less than 1.5% O.M. only if
the risk of crop injury is acceptable.
If any herbicide with ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibition mode of
action was applied the previous year, apply TripleFLEX II Herbicide
to corn only if the rotational restrictions applicable to corn for the
preceding product has been met.
Adverse Weather Conditions
Extended cold, wet conditions (soil temperatures below 50ºF and
excessive rainfall with wet soil conditions), following application
of this product to herbicide tolerant corn, which persist during
germination and/or early crop development may result in crop
injury. Injury symptoms, which include yellowing of leaves
and/or crop stunting, are usually temporary and affected corn plants
usually recover without affecting yield.
Dry weather following preplant surface or preemergence
applications of TripleFLEX II Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. If
sufficient activating rainfall or overhead irrigation does not occur
within 7 to 10 days of application, rotary hoe, harrow, or shallowly
cultivate to incorporate the herbicide lightly into the soil. Use a
preplant incorporated application when a period of dry weather is
predicted after application.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of
spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of
low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during air
temperature inversion conditions.
Soil Insecticide Advisories for Soil Applications of TripleFLEX II
Herbicide
Soil-applied organophosphate insecticides (except terbufos or
phorate, see below) should only be applied in a T-band or a band to
avoid potential crop injury.
Do not use terbufos (Counter) or phorate (Thimet) insecticides.
Soil insecticides from other classes of chemistry may be applied
in-furrow, T-banded, or banded.
Soil Insecticide Advisories for Postemergence Applications of
TripleFLEX II Herbicide
Do not apply TripleFLEX II Herbicide postemergence if corn was
previously treated with terbufos (Counter) or phorate (Thimet)
insecticides, as severe crop injury may result.
Postemergence applications of TripleFLEX II Herbicide to corn
previously treated with T-band, band, or in-furrow applications of
other organophosphate insecticides such as Lorsban ®, Aztec, or
Fortress insecticides may cause temporary crop injury.
Foliar Insecticide Advisories for Postemergence Applications of
TripleFLEX II Herbicide
Do not tank mix this product with foliar postemergence
organophosphate insecticides as severe crop injury may result.
To avoid crop injury, apply the foliar organophosphate insecticide
treatment at least 10 days before or 10 days after the application of
TripleFLEX II Herbicide.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be tank mixed with non-
organophosphate foliar insecticides, provided they are labeled for
use with postemergence corn herbicides.
Other Precautions and Restrictions
Do not apply TripleFLEX II Herbicide to sweet corn or popcorn.
Hybrid Seed Production: Corn inbred lines grown for hybrid seed
production may be injured by TripleFLEX II Herbicide. Inbred lines
should be thoroughly tested for crop tolerance before treating large
acreage. While growers are not prohibited from using TripleFLEX II
Herbicide on seed corn, it is not recommended.
Preharvest interval: An interval of at least 85 days is required
between application of TripleFLEX II Herbicide and field corn
harvested for grain.
Avoid all direct or indirect contact with non-target plants. Do not
apply near desirable vegetation. Allow adequate distance between
target area and desirable plants under conditions of application to
minimize potential exposure.
Crop Residues from Treated Areas: Crop residues from treated
areas cannot be used for composting or mulching on ground
where susceptible crops may be grown the following season. To
promote herbicide decomposition, plant material should be evenly
incorporated or burned. Adequate moisture is also required to
promote breakdown of plant residues, which contain clopyralid.
Do not move treated soil. Avoid situations where soil particles may
blow into areas where susceptible crops are grown. The hazard of
movement of this product on dust is reduced if treated fields are
irrigated or if rain occurs shortly after application.
Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion
of soil containing TripleFLEX II Herbicide to non-target areas. To
prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions
are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil
surface should first be wetted by rainfall or irrigation.
• Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly
compacted surfaces or frozen or snow covered ground.
• Do not apply to soils when saturated with water.
• Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift to
non-target sites. Spray drift of TripleFLEX II Herbicide to
emerged soybeans or other sensitive crops or soil to which
soybeans or other sensitive crops will be planted during the
same growing season may cause crop injury.
Sprayer Cleanup
To avoid injury to or exposure of non-target crops, thoroughly clean
and drain spray equipment used to apply TripleFLEX II Herbicide after
use. Cleaning should occur as soon as possible after application of
TripleFLEX II Herbicide. Spray equipment should be cleaned after
use with TripleFLEX II Herbicide by the following procedure:
1. Drain any remaining TripleFLEX II Herbicide from the spray tank
and dispose of according to label disposal instructions.
2. Hose down the interior surfaces of the tank. Flush tank, hoses,
boom, and nozzles with clean water for 10 minutes. Fill the
tank with water and re-circulate for 15 minutes. Spray part of
the mixture through the hoses, boom, and nozzles and drain the
tank. All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with
local, state, and federal guidelines.
3. Fill the tank with water and re-circulate for 15 minutes. For
optimum cleaning, a tank cleaner such as liquid ammonia
(1 gallon per 100 gallons of water) or other commercial tank
cleaner is recommended in the second rinse if the spray
equipment will be used on crops other than field corn. Spray
part of the mixture through the hoses, boom, and nozzles
and drain the tank. All rinse water must be disposed of in
compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines.
4. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately.
5. If the spray equipment will be used on crops other than field
corn, repeat steps 1 and 2 again and thoroughly wash the spray
mixture from the outside of spray tank and the boom.

Field Bioassay Instructions: In fields previously treated with
this product, plant short test rows of the intended rotational crop
across the original direction of application in a manner to sample
field conditions such as soil texture, soil pH, drainage, and any
other variable that could affect the seed bed of the new crop. Field
bioassay at any time between harvest of the treated crop and the
planting of the rotational crop. Observe the test crop for herbicidal
activity, such as poor stand (effect on seed germination) chlorosis
(yellowing), and necrosis (dead leaves or shoots), or stunting
(reduced growth). If herbicidal symptoms do not occur, the test crop
can be grown. If there is apparent herbicidal activity, do not plant
the field to the test rotational crop; plant only a labeled crop or crop
listed in the table above for which the rotational interval has clearly
been met.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
This product contains acetochlor, a Group 15 herbicide,
flumetsulam, a Group 2 herbicide, and clopyralid, a Group
4 herbicide. Any weed population can contain plants naturally
resistant to Group 15, 2, or 4 herbicides. Weed species resistant to
Group 15, 2, or 4 herbicides may be effectively managed utilizing
another herbicide from a different Group, or by using other cultural
or mechanical practices.
General Principles of Herbicide Resistance Management
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple
herbicide modes-of-action with overlapping weed spectrums in
rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
2. Use the full recommended herbicide rate and proper application
timing for the hardest to control weed species present in the
field.
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has
been achieved. Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to
proliferate vegetatively.
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
• Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using
a burndown treatment or tillage in combination with a
preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
• Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation,
where appropriate.
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop
competitiveness.
• Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as
possible.
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product
on a particular weed to your Bayer CropScience LP representative,
local retailer, or county extension agent.

fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance.
See the “Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test”
section in this label to determine the compatibility of this product
and the labeled tank mixtures specified for use with sprayable
fluid fertilizer carrier. Do not use liquid fertilizers as the carrier for
applications of TripleFLEX II Herbicide after the crop has emerged
or crop injury may occur.
Mix this product or labeled tank mixture of this product with the
appropriate carrier as follows:
1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with
appropriate carrier.
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to
prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or
precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the
tank. Use only compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use.
Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements and
all other information appearing on the selected compatibility
agent label. Check for adequate agitation.
4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make
slurry with water, and add it slowly through the screen into the
tank. Continue agitation.

NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough
agitation is required to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is
resumed.
Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming.
Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be 50-mesh. Carefully
select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for even
distribution of spray droplets. To reduce loss of the chemical due to
drift of a fine mist, apply at nozzle pressures below 40 psi.
Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility Test
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable
fluid fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to
make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to
certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test
using small quantities of the components is suggested to provide
compatibility potential. The test follows:
A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test
1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked “with” and
“without”).
2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mL)
pipette or graduated cylinder is desirable).
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed.
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help
keep the fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension,
if this assistance is needed).
B. Procedure
1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or
other herbicide carrier to each jar marked “with” and “without”.
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars.
2. To the jar marked “with”, add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a
suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds
to mix. (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints
per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.)
To Jar Marked “WITH”
Add Compatibility Agent
And Shake to Mix
3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If
more than one is used, add them separately with the wettable
powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and
liquid last. Shake gently five to ten seconds after each addition.

Liquids or 3 quarts = 3.0 or 14.2
Solutions 1 gallon = 4.0 or 19.0
5 quarts = 5.0 or 23.8
This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per
acre with the maximum labeled rate of herbicide. For changes in
spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the
ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount
of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints
(two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or
1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons
of liquid fertilizer.
C. Observations and Decisions
1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars
for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates.
Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the
liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily particles in the solution.
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar
“with” the compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the
herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank.
If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar “without” the
adjuvant but not in the jar “with” adjuvant, the use of a compatibility
adjuvant is recommended.
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically
for one-half hour. If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and
additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application
is possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top
after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom
of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density
of the fertilizers.
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing
test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer
may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the
compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water
before adding to the spray tank.

Application With Dry Bulk Fertilizer
The herbicide-fertilizer impregnation process must be completed
only by commercial fertilizer or chemical dealerships properly
equipped for this procedure. Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated
with this product or the tank mixtures of this product. Follow
all directions for use and precautions on the respective tank
mix product labels regarding use rates, soil texture, application
methods, and rotational restrictions. This product and these tank
mixtures must be applied with a minimum of 200 pounds of dry
bulk fertilizer per acre and shallowly incorporated within 14 days
prior to planting. On medium- and fine-textured soils in areas where
soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or
in some conventional tillage situations, applications can be made
up to 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move the
herbicide-fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured soils,
applications can be made up to 14 days prior to planting. The
herbicide must be applied as specified in this label for the crop,
weed and soil type treated. Refer to the table for broadcast rate
per acre to determine the application rate per acre for the herbicide
treatment to be applied.

Inject the herbicide into the drum over a minimum of a 2-minute
period and allow at least 2 additional minutes mixing time to ensure
uniformity. The nozzle used to spray the herbicide treatment must
be placed inside the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage of the
tumbling fertilizer. TripleFLEX II Herbicide may also be impregnated
on dry bulk fertilizer in the field while the fertilizer is being spread
using a pneumatic applicator equipped to impregnate herbicides.
If the dry fertilizer used has inadequate absorptive capacity, use a
higher absorptive material such as Agsorb or Micro-Cel, to provide
a free-flowing mixture.

NOTE: DO NOT impregnate this product or tank mixtures of this
product with other herbicides on fertilizers containing ammonium
nitrate, potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate.
Precaution: To avoid potential for explosion, do not impregnate
TripleFLEX II Herbicide on ammonium sorbate nitrate, potassium
nitrate, or sodium nitrate fertilizer or fertilizer blends. Do not
impregnate on a single (0-20-0) or triple (0-46-0) super phosphate.
Do not attempt to impregnate TripleFLEX II Herbicide on agricultural
limestone as the herbicide will not be adequately absorbed.
Spread the herbicide-dry fertilizer mixture uniformly with a properly
calibrated applicator: dribble, pneumatic (air flow) or spin. When
using spin applicators, fertilizers impregnated with this product
or tank mixtures of this product with other herbicides must be
spread at half-rate and overlapped 100 percent to obtain full rate
and uniform distribution. Non-uniform spreading of the fertilizer-
herbicide mixture may result in unsatisfactory weed control or crop
injury.
APPLICATION TIMING, METHODS, AND RATES
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be used in conventional, reduced and
no-till systems and may be applied early preplant, preplant and
preemergence, and postemergence in conventional field corn, silage
corn, and corn containing Roundup Ready® 2 Technology including
Roundup Ready Corn 2, until the corn reaches 11 inches in height.
Preplant and preemergence applications of TripleFLEX II Herbicide
should occur as close as possible to planting and prior to weed
emergence for optimum weed control.
Postemergence applications may be made from prior to weed
emergence up to 1 to 2 inch weeds. If weeds are present at the
time of application, apply this product in a tank mixture with a
product labeled to control emerged weeds. Observe directions for
use, precautions and restrictions on the label of the tank mixture
product. During the planting operation, be careful not to move
untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as
weed control may be reduced.
Fall and Spring Early Preplant Surface Application
TripleFLEX II herbicide may be applied in the fall or early spring at
2.0-3.0 pints per acre.
Fall Applications
Following soybean harvest, apply to soybean stubble after October
15, when the sustained soil temperature at 4-inch depth is less than
50 degrees F , but before ground freezes. Use on medium and fine
textured soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter. Only corn may
be planted the following spring. Ground may be tilled before or after
application. Do not exceed 2-inch incorporation depth if tilled after
application. If a spring application is made, the total rate of the fall
plus spring application of TripleFLEX II Herbicide must not exceed
3.5 pints per acre.
Spring Early Preplant Applications
On medium and fine textured soils TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be applied
21 or more days prior to planting. If the application is made less than
21 days prior to planting, please refer to the use rate table below
for specific product rate.
Preplant Incorporation Application
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be mixed into the top 2 inches of
the soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time within
14 days prior to planting. Apply the specified treatment rate to
the soil surface as a broadcast application. Equipment should be
operated at manufacturer’s designed speed for incorporation to
ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the herbicide treatment
in the soil. Equipment design including any drag attachments must
be adequate to avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or
reduced weed control. Soil conditions, including moisture content
and crop residue levels, must be suitable to allow thorough and
uniform mixing. Do not mix TripleFLEX II Herbicide deeper than
2 inches into the soil and avoid moving or shaping soil after
incorporation.
Preemergence Surface Application
TripleFLEX II Herbicide and may be applied to the soil surface after
planting and prior to either crop or weed emergence. Precipitation
or overhead sprinkler irrigation of at least 0.25 inch is required
after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed
germination zone. If rain or sprinkler irrigation does not occur
within 7 days after application, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate
immediately to improve performance. High intensity or excessive
rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control.
Incorporation equipment should be run at a shallow depth to avoid
disturbance of germinating corn seed. Erratic weed control resulting
from exposure of untreated soil may occur if surface soil is moved
or reshaped after incorporation.
Postemergence Surface Application
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be applied postemergence until corn reaches
11 inches in height. Application may be made prior to or after weed
seedling emergence. If weeds are emerged at application, apply a
labeled postemergence herbicide with this product to control the
emerged weeds. Read and follow all restrictions and directions on
all product labels.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide will provide limited activity on emerged
susceptible broadleaf weeds up to 2 inches tall but will not control
emerged grass weeds present at application listed in the Weeds
Controlled section of this label. If grass and broadleaf weeds have
emerged, best results will be achieved by tank mixing a Roundup
agricultural brand product labeled for control of emerged weeds.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide will provide soil residual control of the grass
and broadleaf weeds listed in the Weeds Controlled section of this
label.
Sprinkler Irrigation: Do not apply TripleFLEX II Herbicide by
sprinkler irrigation. Use a sprinkler system only to incorporate
TripleFLEX II Herbicide after application. After TripleFLEX II Herbicide
has been applied, a sprinkler irrigation system set to deliver
0.25 to 0.75 inch of water per acre may be used to incorporate the
product. Using more than 0.75 inch of water could result in reduced
performance. On sandy soil low in organic matter, use no more than
0.5 inch of water. Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate
TripleFLEX II Herbicide.
Cultivation Information
Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless
weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe
immediately if weeds or grasses emerge. If cultivation is necessary
because of soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and
minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of
the herbicide treatment. If a band application is used and weeds
have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to throw soil into
the row covering the band.
Application Rates for TripleFLEX II Herbicide in Conventional and
Herbicide Tolerant Field Corn and Silage Corn
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be used in conventional, reduced
and no-till systems. Optimal weed control will be obtained when
applications are made as close as possible to planting corn but
before weeds emerge. However, applications may be made from
30 days prior to planting through 11-inch tall corn.
In reduced or no-till systems, it is recommended that
a burndown herbicide, such as a Roundup agricultural
herbicide, dicamba, or 2,4-D be tank mixed with TripleFLEX
II Herbicide if emerged weeds are present at application.
TripleFLEX II Herbicide may be used at rates from 1.5 to
3.0 pints per acre. Use rates in the higher end of the rate range for
soil type, for longer residual activity. Apply 2.0-3.0 pints per acre in
fall or spring early preplant applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to fish. 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 wash water.
Acetochlor demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
ground water is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Flumetsulam and clopyralid are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this product where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow may result in leaching to ground water.
Caution should be exercised when handling this product at mixing and loading sites to prevent
contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this
pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an
impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
Acetochlor has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and
runoff erosion. Practices should be followed to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or
runoff erosion.
