Product Information
Accolade Herbicide is a selective product for broadleaf weed control in field corn and soybeans. Apply Accolade Herbicide as a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment in corn and soybeans. Apply Accolade Herbicide with water, liquid fertilizer, or impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer.

Absorption of Accolade Herbicide
occurs through both shoot and root uptake. Susceptible weeds exposed to Accolade Herbicide stop growing and either die or remain non-competitive with the crop. Accolade Herbicide provides residual control of weeds that may emerge after application. Because uptake and translocation of Accolade Herbicide involves uptake by both roots and/or shoots, adequate soil moisture is necessary for optimal herbicidal activity. When applications are made under adverse (dry or cold) conditions, or when less susceptible species are treated, reduced activity may be observed and weeds may be suppressed and not controlled. Weed suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population, size, and/or vigor) as compared to an untreated area. Improve the level of control by applying Accolade Herbicide under favorable growing conditions (i.e., adequate moisture and warmer temperature) and by using a higher rate in the rate range. Use directions in supplemental labeling may supersede directions or limitations in this labeling.

Use Precautions and Restrictions
Do not mix or load this product within 50 feet of any wells (including abandoned wells and drainage wells), sink holes, perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to impervious pad or properly diked mixing/loading areas.
Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet 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. Design the pad and maintain it to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rainwater that may fall on the pad.
Do not allow surface water to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self contained. Slope the pad to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad will have the 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.
Maintain containment capacities at all times. These minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. States may have in effect additional requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational containment.
• Do not apply this product in Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York State.
• Do not aerially apply this product in New York State.
• Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not apply more than a total of 1.4 oz of Accolade Herbicide (0.07 lb active ingredient flumetsulam) per acre per growing season.
• Do not apply more than a cumulative total of 0.07 lb active ingredient flumetsulam per year if using in sequential or tank mix applications with other products.
• Preharvest Interval: Do not apply within 85 days before field corn and soybean harvest.
• Preharvest Interval: Do not apply within 45 days of field corn forage harvest.
• Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product.
• Use this product in a manner that prevents back siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
• Avoid all direct or indirect contact with non-target plants. Do not apply near desirable vegetation. Allow adequate distance between target area and desirable plants to minimize exposure.
• Uneven application or uneven incorporation of Accolade Herbicide can result in erratic weed control or crop injury.
• This product can be mixed in accordance with the most restrictive label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. See Mixing Directions.
• Do not graze or feed treated soybean forage, hay or straw to livestock.
• Do not apply Accolade Herbicide to sweet corn and popcorn.

Adverse Weather Conditions
• Extended cold, wet conditions (soil temperature below 50°F and excessive rainfall with wet soil conditions) following preemergence
application of Accolade Herbicide to field corn which persist during germination and early crop development may result in crop injury. Injury symptoms, including yellowing of leaves and/or crop stunting, are usually temporary and affected corn plants usually recover without affecting yield.
• Dry weather following preplant surface or preemergence applications of Accolade Herbicide may reduce the product’s effectiveness. If sufficient activating rainfall or overhead irrigation does not occur within 7 to 10 days following application, incorporate the herbicide lightly into the soil using a rotary hoe, harrow, or shallow cultivation. Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or when dry weather is expected following application.
• Do not apply when air temperature is near freezing or when freezing conditions are expected for several days following application.
Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing Accolade Herbicide to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
• Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, settle the soil surface first by rainfall or irrigation.

Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces, or frozen or snow covered ground.
• Do not apply to soils when saturated with water.
• Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.

Handling Precautions for Water Soluble Packets
Do not remove water soluble packet from overpack except for immediate use. Do not allow water soluble packet to come into contact with water prior to use. Do not handle water soluble packet with wet hands or wet gloves. Do not open water soluble packets. Do not remove packets from overwrap except to ad the intact packet directly into the spray tank. Do not split packets. Partial use of packets is not allowed. Carefully reseal package containing unopened water soluble packets and protect package from moisture.
