IMPORTANT
Injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water. Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide is a dry flowable granular formulation to be mixed in water and applied post-emergence to field corn in Eastern Canada for control of quackgrass and annual grasses. ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide is non-corrosive, non-flammable, non-volatile, and does not freeze. ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide is pre-packaged in water soluble bags; each water soluble bag treats 1 hectare.
The enclosed pouches of Accent 75 DF Herbicide are water-soluble. Do not allow pouches to become wet prior to use. Do not handle the individual pouches with wet hands or wet gloves. Always reseal the outer container or barrier bag to protect the remaining unused pouches.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Do not re-enter treated fields until 12 hours after application.
Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity (houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas) is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature, application equipment and sprayer settings.
Spray application:
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the ASAE medium classification.
DO NOT apply by air.

RATES AND TIMING
Apply one water soluble bag of ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide per hectare as a broadcast spray, with a recommended surfactant to corn and weeds according to the following chart.
Apply ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide from the 1 to 8 leaf stage (6 visible collars). The coleoptile (short, blunt leaf) is counted as the first leaf.
A corn leaf is counted as a full leaf when the next leaf is visible in the corn whorl. 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide rapidly stops growth of susceptible species; typical symptoms usually appear within 5-7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2-3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility.
Warm, moist conditions following application promote the activity of ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide, while cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled.
Rainfall within 2-4 hours after application of ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide may reduce weed control.
ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide is a foliar applied herbicide that will not give residual control of grass or broadleaf weed seedlings that may germinate after application. Weed control may be reduced if the corn canopy has closed in over the weeds, intercepting the spray.
Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under stress from:
- abnormally hot or cold weather
- environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage or frost
- disease, insect or nematode injury
- prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year's herbicide application.
Delay application until stress passes and both weeds and corn resume growth. If corn has been injured by frost, wait 48-72 hours before applying ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide. Severe stress conditions immediately following application may also result in crop injury or poor weed control.
Ensure that the boom is set at the proper height in relation to the corn plants to apply ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide accurately and uniformly, and to AVOID excessive application into the corn whorl.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill clean tank about 1/4 full with fresh water.
2. Turn on full agitation.
3. Add the proper amount of ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide to the water in the spray tank with the agitator running. Maintain full agitation until water soluble bags are completely dissolved and product is fully dispersed. Continuous agitation is required to keep the product in suspension.
4. After ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide has been well mixed and is in suspension add the proper amount of tank mix partner (if applicable) to the spray tank with the agitator running.
5. After all products have been well mixed and are in suspension, add a recommended adjuvant (see "Spray Adjuvants" section for a complete list and use rate).
6. If applicable, add 28% liquid urea ammonium nitrate (UAN).
7. Fill the remainder of the spray tank.
On repeat tank loads, ensure that the amount of spray solution left in the tank from the previous load is less than 10% of the volume about to be mixed.
Agitation is required for uniform mixing and application. The optimum water volume for ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide application is 140-190 litres of water per hectare (minimum of 100 litres of water per hectare). Use a spray pressure of 175 - 275 kPa. Flat fan nozzles are recommended. Use 50 mesh filter screens or larger. Use spray preparation of ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide within 24 hours or product degradation may occur resulting in a loss of weed control. Use vigorous agitation to thoroughly disperse spray mixtures that have been allowed to stand in the tank.
NOTE: ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide will degrade in acidic or highly alkaline water. Mix no more than can be used in one day. If spraying is interrupted, thoroughly re-agitate the spray mixture before resuming spraying.
NOTE: Do not mix the soluble bags with liquid fertilizers, substances that contain boron or substances that release free chlorine. Mixing the water soluble bags with any of these compounds will result in an insoluble substance in the tank.
In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact E.I du Pont Canada Company at 1-800-667-3925 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by E.I du Pont Canada Company.

REPLANTING TO OTHER CROPS
ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide is degraded by natural soil processes, and field tests have shown that the following crops may safely be planted at the prescribed interval following corn that has been treated with ACCENT 75 DF Herbicide.

CROP REPLANTING INTERVAL
Winter wheat - 4 months
Spring barley, Canola, Soybeans, White beans, Red Clover, Sorghum, Field Corn, Alfalfa - 10 months
For other crops, a field bioassay is recommended before planting. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the crop(s) intended for production the following year.
