labels, revised glyphosate and glufosinate tank mix instructions, revised
max yearly rate restriction for corn to match approved labels, and other
miscellaneous updates.
Product Name: HM-1821-A Herbicide
EPA Registration Number: 5905-641
Application Date: June 16, 2022
Case Number: 480159
Dear Jayne Walz:
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable.
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency.
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records.
This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final
printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the
Page 2 of 2
EPA Reg. No. 5905-641
Case Number 480159
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently
approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3.
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the
Agency. If the website contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the
product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A)
and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or
misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label,
claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). Therefore,
should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or
misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the
product will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
with FIFRA section 6.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, 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 or
rinsate. Do not apply where/when conditions could favor runoff.
Reporting Ecological Incidents:
To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 901-
761-0050.
Ground Water Advisory
S-metolachlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result
of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow.
Tolpyralate has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater.
It may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the
water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory
This product has the potential to contaminate surface water through ground spray drift and runoff of
rain water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff
for several months or more after application. Conditions that contribute to this potential include
poorly drained or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently
flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or
ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with
vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
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 loading of this
product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement: This product is toxic to plants and may adversely
impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to
the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions
intended to minimize spray drift.
Mixing/Loading/Application Instructions
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back siphoning into wells, spills, or
improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates. Check valves or antisiphoning
devices must be used on mixing equipment. This product may not be mixed/loaded or used within
50 ft. of wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve
mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application
equipment or containers within 50 ft. 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 wash water, and rain water that may fall on the
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 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 roof of sufficient size to
completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment
capacity of 100% 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.

conditions or other factors that favor poor or slow growth can weaken crop seedlings. HM-1821-A
Herbicide used under these conditions can result in crop injury.
Use Restrictions
1. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
2. Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
3. Do not use aerial application to apply HM-1821-A Herbicide.
4. Do not contaminate irrigation water used for non-labeled crops or water used for domestic
purposes.
5. Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this
product to non-target areas.
Use Precautions
1. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
a. 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.
b. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces
or frozen or snow-covered soils.
c. Do not use tail water from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat
nontarget crops, unless at least ½ inch of rainfall has occurred between application
and the first irrigation.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, HM-1821-A Herbicide is a combination of S-metolachlor and
Tolpyralate (Group 15 and 27 herbicides). Any weed population may contain or develop plants
naturally resistant to HM-1821-A Herbicide and other Group 15 and 27 herbicides. The resistant
biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same
field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of HM-1821-A Herbicide or other Group 15 and 27 herbicides within a
growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that
control the same weeds in a field.
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where
information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone
partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-
prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are
unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
x Identify weeds present in the field through scouting and field history and understand their
biology. The weed-control program should consider all of the weeds present.
x Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications of herbicides with differing
mechanisms of action.
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting
and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that
considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding
rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the
weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
x Plant into weed-free fields and keep fields as weed-free as possible.
x Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by managing field borders.
6
Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
x Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their
growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective.
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a
weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control
is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same
species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by
an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing
or tillage. Prevent field-to-field and within-field movement of resistant weed seeds to other
fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and
planting clean seed.
x To the extent possible do not allow weed escapes to produce seeds, roots or tubers.
Manage weed seeds at harvest and post-harvest to prevent a buildup of the weed
seedbank.
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product,
discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide
with a different mode of action, if available, and/or use non-chemical means to remove
escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for
specific crops and weed biotypes.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Helena Agri-Enterprises,
LLC representatives at 901-761-0050 or at www.helenaagri.com.
Apply this herbicide at the correct timing and rate needed to control the most difficult weed in the
field.
Use a broad-spectrum soil-applied herbicide with a mechanism of action that differs from this
product as a foundation in a weed-control program. Do not use more than two applications of this
or any other herbicide with the same mechanism of action within a single growing season unless
mixed with an herbicide with another mechanism of action with an overlapping spectrum for the
difficult-to-control weeds.
To the extent possible, use a diversified approach toward weed management. Whenever possible
incorporate multiple weed-control practices such as mechanical cultivation, biological management
practices, and crop rotation.
If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different MOA or use non-
chemical methods to remove escapes.
Integrated Pest (Weed)
Management
HM-1821-A Herbicide may be integrated into an overall weed and pest management strategy.
Practices known to reduce weed development (till- age, crop competition) and herbicide use (weed
scouting, proper application timing, banding and rotations) should be followed wherever possible.
Consult local agricultural and weed authorities for additional Integrated Pest Management
strategies established for your area.
Ground Application
Spray nozzles should be uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and should provide accurate
and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
7
Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
S572) to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens
in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser.
Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief
periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by
running on full agitation prior to spraying.
Preemergence Applications
Apply HM-1821-A Herbicide preemergence with a carrier volume of 10-80 gal/A.
Postemergence Applications
Good weed coverage is essential for optimum weed control. Apply in a spray volume of 10-30
gal/A. When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum spray volume of 20 gal/A. Flat fan nozzles are
recommended for optimum postemergence coverage. Do not use floodjet or venturi type nozzles or
controlled droplet application equipment for postemergence applications. Use only clean water as
the carrier when applying HM-1821-A Herbicide after crop emergence.
Aerial Application
Do not use aerial application to apply HM-1821-A Herbicide.
Chemigation Application
Do not use chemigation application to apply HM-1821-A Herbicide.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT DIRECTIONS
Ground Boom Applications
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarse
droplets (ASABE S572).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Boomless Ground Applications
x Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572) for all applications.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not appl
y during temperature inversions.
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF
NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that
provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for
drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental
conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a 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.
8
Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers.
Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature 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 applications 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.”
Boom-less Ground Applications
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
Applications After Corn Has
Emerged
When applying HM-1821-A Herbicide postemergence to corn, add either a nonionic surfactant
(NIS) or crop oil concentrate (COC). When using a NIS, add at 0.25% v/v (1 qt./100 gal.). When
using a COC, add at a rate of 1% v/v (1 gal/100 gal.) or the equivalent of 1 gal/100 gal. The use of
COC will provide more consistent weed control than an NIS but may also result in temporary crop
injury.
In addition to NIS or COC, a nitrogen-based adjuvant may also be added to increase consistency of
weed control. The use of nitrogen-based adjuvants (AMS or UAN) will increase the risk of crop
injury and can result in temporary crop injury.
Do not use methylated seed oil (MSO) with HM-1821-A Herbicide when applied alone to emerged
field corn, or when HM-1821-A Herbicide is applied as a postemergence tank mixture with other
products.
Applications Prior to Corn
Emergence
Any of the adjuvants may be used at a preemergence or preplant timing, i.e. where the corn crop
has not yet emerged, to increase burndown activity on existing weeds.
Either water or liquid fertilizers, excluding suspension fertilizers, may be used as carriers for
preemergence applications. If fluid fertilizers are used, a compatibility test must be done. Even if
HM-1821-A Herbicide is physically compatible with a fluid fertilizer, constant agitation is necessary
9
Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
to maintain a uniform mixture during application. Use only clean water as the carrier when applying
HM-1821-A Herbicide after crop emergence.
The spray tank must be clean, thoroughly rinsed, and decontaminated before adding either HM-
1821-A Herbicide alone or with tank-mix partners. If water is used as the carrier, use clean water.
HM-1821-A Herbicide may be tank mixed with other herbicides registered for weed control in
field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn. Read and follow all label directions for each product. It is the
pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations, and directions for use on all product labels
involved in the tank mixture. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and
precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Do not tank mix HM-1821-A
Herbicide with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer solution, or adjuvant not recommended on
the label without testing compatibility, as poor mixing may result. It is recommended that the
compatibility of any tank-mix combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual
tank mixing.
Use the Following Mixing Instructions for Adding HM-1821-A Herbicide to the Spray Tank
1. Only use sprayers in good operating condition with adequate agitation. Ensure the sprayer
is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to use of HM-1821-A
Herbicide.
2. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water and engage agitator. Agitation
must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying procedure.
3. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, begin to add the mixture components
4. If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is used, continue agitation until completely dispersed.
5. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, add it slowly to the tank. Mixing
and compatibility may be improved when a wettable powder or dry flowable is diluted with
water before adding to the tank. Agitate during the procedure.
6. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly to the tank.
7. Add HM-1821-A Herbicide slowly to the tank.
8. Add any other liquid tank-mix products next with emulsifiable concentrates last.
9. Add an adjuvant last, if needed.
10. Complete filling the sprayer tank and continue agitation.
11. Apply as soon as possible after spray mixture is prepared. Do not leave mixture in spray
tank overnight without agitation.
If HM-1821-A Herbicide is added to the spray tank via induction, compatibility may be
compromised. If an induction tank (or similar equipment) is used, add each product separately and
allow each to disperse into the spray tank before adding the next product. For best tank-mix
compatibility, rinse the induction tank with water before adding each component.
It is recommended that HM-1821-A Herbicide not be added to the spray tank via in-line injection.
Compatibility Test
A compatibility test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of HM-1821-A
Herbicide with fertilizer carriers or other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume of
25 gal/A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.
Nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers, excluding suspension fertilizers, may replace all or
part of the water in the spray. Because liquid fertilizers vary, even within the same analysis, always
check compatibility with pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common
with mixtures of fertilizer and pesticides.

Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
Compatibility Test Procedure
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of two 1 qt jars with tight lids. Use the
same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the
temperature the tank mix will be applied.
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use
(¼ tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pt./100 gal spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based
on label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately as described in the
Mixing Procedures section of this label. After each addition, shake or stir gently to
thoroughly mix.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let
the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates,
gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility.
5. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two
jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as
long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods
of improving compatibility: (a) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before addition, or (b) add
half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other half to the emulsifiable
concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still
observed, do not use the mixture.
After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the
Storage and Disposal section in this label.
Cleaning Equipment After Application
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than field corn.
Mix only as much spray solution as needed.
Equipment Cleaning
Procedure
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal of household ammonia per 25 gal of water. Many
commercial spray tank cleaners may be used.
3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to
wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not
available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the
cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the
sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible
deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
5. Remove boom end caps and flush dead space areas, with water, then replace caps.
6. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-5 in an appropriate manner, according to all local State and
federal regulations.
7. Repeat steps 2-6.
8. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia solution
after completing the above procedures.
9. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
HM-1821-A Herbicide applied as directed in this label will control or suppress the weeds listed in
Tables 1 and 2. Optimum weed control will be obtained if HM-1821-A Herbicide is applied
according to all label directions.
If a significant rainfall does not occur within 7 days after a preemergence application, weed control
may be decreased.
When weeds are stressed or not actively growing due to drought, heat, lack of fertility, flooding, or
prolonged cool temperatures, postemergence control can be reduced or delayed.

CORN: Field Corn, Seed Corn, Sweet Corn and Yellow Popcorn
Apply HM-1821-A Herbicide for preemergence control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds
in field corn, seed corn, sweet corn and yellow popcorn. HM-1821-A Herbicide may also be applied
early postemergence for the control of broadleaf weeds in field corn and seed corn. Do not apply
HM-1821-A Herbicide to yellow popcorn or sweet corn after the crop has emerged, or crop injury
may occur. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for a list or weeds controlled or partially controlled by HM-
1821-A Herbicide.
HM-1821-A Herbicide Application Timings
Burndown for Reduced Tillage Situations
In reduced or no-till corn and before the crop has emerged, HM-1821-A Herbicide can be applied
alone or in tank mixture with paraquat dichloride; diquat dibromide; glyphosate; glyphosate-
isopropylammonium; glyphosate, ammonium salt; glycine, N-(phosphonomethyl)-, diammonium
salt; glycine, N-(phosphonomethyl)-potassium salt; nonanoic acid; dithiopyr; or other registered
herbicides for burndown of existing weeds. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for specific weeds controlled
by HM-1821-A Herbicide. Read and follow all product labels for specific use directions and
information on weeds controlled. Refer to the ADDITIVES and TANK MIX sections on this label for
additional recommendations.
Early Preplant and Preemergence
Apply HM-1821-A Herbicide early preplant (up to 14 days prior to planting) or preemergence to field
corn, seed corn, sweet corn, and yellow popcorn.
Early Postemergence
Apply HM-1821-A Herbicide to field or seed corn after emergence until the plants reach 20 inches
in height or up to the V6 stage of corn growth. Target applications to corn that is less than 12
inches tall for improved coverage and best overall performance. Use only clean water as the carrier
when applying HM-1821-A Herbicide after crop emergence. Do not apply postemergence in liquid
fertilizer or severe crop injury maywill occur. Do not apply HM-1821-A Herbicide to emerged yellow
popcorn or sweet corn, or severe crop injury may occur. Refer to the ADDITIVES section on this
label for burndown adjuvant recommendations.
Timing to Weeds
Apply HM-1821-A Herbicide when susceptible weeds are young and actively growing, but before
they exceed 3 inches in height. Treat heavy infestations of weeds before they become too
competitive with the crop, especially where soil moisture and/or fertility are limited. HM-1821-A
Herbicide provides weed control via foliar and root absorption. For later-emerging weeds, a second
application or a timely cultivation is required. Applications made to weeds larger than the size
indicated on this label or to weeds under stress may result in unsatisfactory control.

HM-1821-A Herbicide Programs in Glyphosate Resistant Corn
HM-1821-A Herbicide may be applied early postemergence at 1.4 qt/A (1.30 lbs. S-metolachlor/A;
0.035 lb. tolpyralate/A) in tank mixture with a solo glyphosate product (e.g. Touchdown® or
Roundup® brands) that is registered for use over-the-top in glyphosate resistant field corn (e.g.
Roundup Ready or Agrisure® GT Corn). To minimize weed competition with the crop, target the
application of this mixture to weeds in the 1 to 2 inch range. If the glyphosate product has a built-in
adjuvant system (i.e. the product label does not ask for additional adjuvant), only spray-grade
ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5 lbs./100 gal. or a water-conditioning agent should at least be
added to this mixture. If the glyphosate product label calls for an additional adjuvant in addition to
AMS, add a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 0.25% v/v may also be added and AMS to this spray
mixture. Do not add urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), crop oil concentrate (COC), or methylated seed
oil (MSO) type adjuvants to these mixtures, or crop injury may occur. Use caution if applying HM-
1821-A with methylated seed oil (MSO), MSO-containing adjuvants, or crop oil concentrates
(COC), as crop injury may occur with some corn hybrids or during environmental conditions which
favor crop sensitivity. Follow all directions for use and restrictions on the glyphosate product label.
Alternatively, HM-1821-A Herbicide may be applied preemergence at 1.4 qt/A (1.30 lbs. S-
metolachlor/A; 0.035 lb. tolpyralate/A) as part of a two-pass weed control system when followed by
a postemergence application of a glyphosate-based product in glyphosate resistant corn (e.g.
Roundup Ready or Agrisure GT Corn). When used in this way, HM-1821-A Herbicide will provide
reduced competition of the weeds listed in Table 1 for a period of 30 or more days, thus improving
the timing, flexibility, and effectiveness of the glyphosate-based product application. Follow all
directions for use and restrictions on the glyphosate product label.
HM-1821-A Herbicide may be applied preemergence at 0.75-1.0 qt/A (0.70-0.93 lbs. S-
metolachlor/A; 0.019-0.025 lb. tolpyralate/A) as part of a two-pass weed control system when
followed by Halex™ GT (S-metolachlor, mesotrione, and glyphosate, EPA Reg. No. 100-1282) in
glyphosate resistant corn (e.g. Roundup Ready or Agrisure GT Corn). Apply HM-1821-A
Herbicide at 0.75 qt/A (0.70 lbs. S-metolachlor/A; 0.019 lb. tolpyralate/A) on soils with <3% OM and
1.0 qt/A (0.93 lbs. S-metolachlor/A; 0.025 lb. tolpyralate/A) on soils with >3% OM. Follow all
directions for use and restrictions on each product label.
HM-1821-A Herbicide Programs in
Glufosinate-Resistant Corn
HM-1821-A Herbicide may be applied early postemergence at 1.4 qt/A (1.30 lbs. S-metolachlor/A;
0.035 lb. tolpyralate/A) in tank mixture with glufosinate and applied over-the-top in field corn
designated as glufosinate-resistant. To minimize weed competition with the crop, target the
application of this mixture to weeds in the 1 to 2 inch range. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) or a water
conditioning agent may be added as a spray adjuvant as directed on the glufosinate label.
However, AMS should be the only adjuvant added to this tank mixture. Do not add urea ammonium
nitrate (UAN), crop oil concentrate (COC), non-ionic surfactants (NIS), or methylated seed oil
18
Filename: HM-1821-A Herbicide (5905-641) AD 012623081126 STK
(MSO) type adjuvants to these mixtures, or crop injury may occur. Use caution if applying HM-
1821-A with non-ionic surfactant (NIS), methylated seed oil (MSO), MSO-containing adjuvants, or
crop oil concentrates (COC), as crop injury may occur with some corn hybrids or during
environmental conditions which favor crop sensitivity. Follow all directions for use and restrictions
on the glufosinate product label.
Alternatively, HM-1821-A Herbicide may be applied pre-emergence at 1.4 qt/A (1.30 lbs. S-
metolachlor/A; 0.035 lb. tolpyralate/A) as part of a two-pass weed control system when followed by
a postemergence application of glufosinate in field corn designated as glufosinate-resistant. When
used in this way, HM-1821-A Herbicide will provide reduced competition of the weeds listed in
Table 1 for a period of 30 or more days, thus improving the timing flexibility and effectiveness of the
glufosinate application. Follow all directions for use and restrictions on the glufosinate product
label.
Restrictions for all Corn Uses
