GENERAL INFORMATION


Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds in spring wheat (including durum). Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide is mixed with water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray. It is non-corrosive, nonflammable, and nonvolatile.
Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide must be applied early postemergence, to the main flush of actively growing broadleaved weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. See “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” section of this label for complete use details.
Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 2 weeks after application, depending upon growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect are dependent on weed sensitivity, weed size, crop competition, growing conditions at and following treatment, and spray coverage.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR CROP DAMAGE. DO NOT APPLY TO CROPS UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUMES.

Application Directions
For control or suppression of a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds, apply Frontline 2,4-D XC A at a rate of 100 mL/ha, with Frontline 2,4-D XC B at a rate of 0.85 L/ha.

Mixing Instructions
1. Fill sprayer tank 3/4 full of water.
2. Start sprayer tank agitation.
3. Add the required amount of Frontline 2,4-D XC A, continue agitation.
4. Add the required amount of Frontline 2,4-D XC B, continue agitation.
5. Fill the sprayer tank with sufficient water to spray 100 L of spray mixture per hectare.

Application Timing
Apply to actively growing weeds in the 2-4 leaf stage. Apply when wheat is in the 3 leaf expanded to 6 leaf stage. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at or following time of application may reduce weed control and increase the risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Only weeds which are emerged at the time of application will be affected. If foliage is wet at the time of application control may be decreased. Under conditions of low crop and high weed density, control may be reduced. Maximum 1 application per year.

Pre-Harvest/Grazing Intervals
Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application.
Do not harvest as forage within 30 days after application.
Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.
Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application.

Crop Rotation
Fields previously treated with Frontline 2,4-D XC Herbicide can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, chickpeas, corn, field beans, flax, Juncea canola, lentils, mustard (brown, oriental and/or yellow), oats, peas, potatoes (except seed potatoes), soybeans, sunflowers, or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed.
