FX Herbicide is a selective herbicide for postemergent control of annual broadleaved weeds including cleavers and certain ALS-resistant broadleaved weeds such as kochia in spring wheat, durum wheat, and spring barley. FX Herbicide will also suppress hemp-nettle, common chickweed and wild buckwheat.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FX Herbicide is a selective postemergent herbicide for the control of annual broadleaved weeds in spring wheat, durum wheat and spring barley, not underseeded with legumes. FX Herbicide offers a novel mode of action for controlling hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds such as kochia (including ALS resistant biotypes) and cleavers. FX Herbicide will also provide suppression of hempnettle, wild buckwheat and chickweed.

MODE OF ACTION
FX Herbicide is a systemic auxin-type herbicide and moves within the plant for control of exposed and underground plant tissues. The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of weeds include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes.

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.

FX HERBICIDE ALONE
Apply FX Herbicide for postemergent control of cleavers and kochia, including ALS resistant kochia and other broadleaved weeds infesting spring wheat, durum wheat and spring barley. See following table for weeds controlled/suppressed and applications rates.

NOTE: FX Herbicide activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12 C to 24 C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8 C or above 27 C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Application Timing
Apply to actively growing wheat and barley from the 2-leaf crop growth stage up to and including initiation of stem elongation. Apply when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Extreme growing conditions such as drought or near freezing temperature prior to, at and following time of application may reduce weed control and increase the risk of crop injury at all stages of growth. Foliage that is wet at the time of application may decrease control. FX Herbicide applications are rainfast within 1 hour after application. Under conditions of low crop and high weed density, control may be reduced.
