PRODUCT INFORMATION

Acuron GT Herbicide is a systemic, postemergence herbicide for the control of weeds in glyphosate-resistant fi eld corn. Acuron GT Herbicide is a combination of the herbicides S-metolachlor, glyphosate, mesotrione and bicyclopyrone. Acuron GT Herbicide is specifi cally formulated for postemergence use in glyphosate-resistant fi eld corn. This product does not contain the safener benoxacor, therefore, Acuron GT Herbicide is not recommended for preplant or preemergence applications. Following a postemergence application of Acuron GT Herbicide, susceptible weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease growth soon after application, but complete death of weeds may take up to 2 weeks. Also, Acuron GT Herbicide is absorbed by the roots and shoots of weeds, prior to emergence in the soil, which provides approximately 3-4 weeks of residual control of newly emerging susceptible weeds, with a minimum activating rainfall or overhead irrigation. Glyphosate works by targeting an enzyme that is essential for plant growth.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

4.1 Methods of Application Applications with Acuron GT Herbicide alone or in tank mixtures are permitted by ground only, as specifi ed below and in Section 9.0. Apply as a postemergence treatment for weed control in glyphosate-resistant fi eld corn only.

Application Equipment

• Confi gure spray equipment to provide accurate and uniform coverage of the target area and minimize potential for spray drift. • To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. • For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment manufacturers and/or state recommendations. • All application equipment must be properly maintained. • For ground applications: o Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. o Do not use fl ood jet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for applications of Acuron GT Herbicide. o Nozzles may be angled forward or backward 45° to enhance penetration of the crop and provide better coverage. o Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 50-mesh or coarser. o Use a pump that can maintain a pressure of at least 35-40 psi at the nozzles (check nozzle manufacturer’s instructions) and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. o Lower pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles.

Application Volume and Spray Coverage

• Good weed coverage is essential for optimum weed control. • Ensure that spray nozzles are uniformly spaced, the same size and type, and provide accurate and uniform application. • Apply Acuron GT Herbicide in a spray volume of 10-30 gal/A. • When weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 15 gal/A. • Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if spraying is stopped for brief periods. • If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying.

Mixing Directions

1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Dispose of the cleaning solution in a responsible manner. 2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. 3. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use. 4. Agitate the spray solution before and during application. 5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. 6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area
