GENERAL INFORMATION


Paradigm PRE plus glyphosate is registered for pre-seed weed control ahead of spring wheat, durum, winter wheat, spring barley and oats. Paradigm PRE is a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaf weeds such as chickweed, cleavers, lamb’s-quarters and wild buckwheat.
Paradigm PRE is mixed with water and applied as a uniform broadcast spray by ground application. It is non-corrosive, nonflammable, and nonvolatile.
Paradigm PRE must be applied early postemergence, to the main flush of actively growing broadleaf weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of
Paradigm PRE by allowing maximum foliar uptake and 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.


MODE OF ACTION


Paradigm PRE is a mixture of a systemic auxin-type herbicide (Group 4) and an ALS enzyme inhibitortype herbicide (Group 2). The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns and/or by inhibiting production of the enzyme essential for production of certain amino acids essential for plant growth.

Non-Target Sites
Do not apply where proximity of susceptible crops (e.g. flax and legumes) or other desirable plants is likely to result in exposure to spray or spray drift. See ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS section of this label.
