PRODUCT INFORMATION
FOR HERBICIDE USE IN CORN AND SOYBEANS
Cadet is a preplant bumdown and postemergence herbicide for control of velvetleaf and other broad leaf weeds in soybeans, field corn, sweet com, and popcorn (includes field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn grown for seed). Cadet can be applied as a preplant burndown treatment alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizer before planting corn or soybeans or can be applied after emergence of the crop and broadleaf weeds. There is a wide application timing window for preplant and postemergence use in soybean and corn. For preplant and postemergence use in soybean the applicationwindow ranges from pre plant to the full flowering stage. For preplant and postemergence use in com, the application window ranges from preplant until the corn is 48 inches tall or prior to tasseling, whichever comes first. Refer to Table 2 for a list of the broadleaf weeds controlled.
Cadet will control velvetieaf up to 36 inches tall. Cadet will also control or partially control certain other annual broad leaf weeds. Partial control means significant activity but not always at a level generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. When tank mixed, Cadet may enhance the performance of other herbicides in the control of certain broadleaf weeds (see Table 2). Cadet does not control grasses. Therefore, if grasses are present at the time of application, Cadet should be mixed with an appropriate postemergence herbicide registered for grass control. The amount of Cadet to apply and the degree of weed control resulting from a Cadet application depend upon a variety of factors such as weeds present, stage of growth of the weeds, environmental conditions, and g rowing conditions. Weeds under stress because of lack of moisture, low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury, may not be controlled as well as actively growing weeds. Weed death or inhibition can be expected quickly - nomnally within 48 hours after application.
To be effective, Cadet must contact the weed foliage. Thorough coverage with the spray solution gives the most effective weed control. A large crop and/or weed canopy as well as a dense crop and/or weed canopy can prevent the spray from reaching smaller weeds resulting in reduced control of these smaller weeds.
Soybean and com are tolerant of Cadet when applied according to label directions.
Some bronzing, crinkling, or spotting of crop leaves may occur. Soybean and corn rapidly outgrow these effects and develop normally with no reduction in yield.

Grazing/Feeding and Harvesting Restrictions
Do not graze or feed treated soybean forage or hay to livestock.
Do not harvest or feed corn grain or stover (fodder) until 70 days after the last
application of Cadet Herbicide.
Do not harvest or feed field corn forage until 30 days after the last application of Cadet Herbicide.
Do not harvest or feed sweet com forage or ears until 40 days after the last application of Cadet Herbicide.

Proper Handling Instructions
This product may not be mixed or loaded 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. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash water, and rainwater that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means the pad must be self contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient 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. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The
above specific minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when 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 through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use flood irrigation to apply or incorporate this product. This product must be used in a manner which will prevent back siphoning into wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.
