GENERAL INFORMATION
Liquid Lightning herbicide can be applied postemergence (including spike stage) on CLEARFIELD corn hybrids. Apply only on selected field corn hybrids (CLEARFIELD corn) warranted by the seed company to possess resistance/tolerance to direct application of certain imidazolinone herbicides. DO NOT apply
Liquid Lightning to corn hybrids that lack resistance/tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides. Contact your seed supplier, chemical dealer or BASF to obtain information regarding CLEARFIELD corn hybrids. Liquid Lightning kills weeds by root and/or foliar uptake and rapid translocation to the growing points. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum Liquid Lightning activity. When adequate soU moisture is present, Liquid Lightning will provide'residual control of susceptible germinating weeds; activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and the location of its root system in the soil.
Use of Liquid Lightning in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in most situations. However, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible. Under some conditions (such as heavy texture soil, high organic matter, low pH or low rainfall) Liquid Lightning may cause injury to subsequent planted crops. See ROTATIONAL CROPS section ofthis label for recommended rotation intervals to sensitive crops.
Crops growing under stressful environmental conditions can exhibit various injury symptoms that may be more pronounced if herbicides are used. Corn plants treated with Liquid Lightning may exhibit yellowing on new growth. Such effects occur infrequently and are temporary. Normal growth and appearance should resume within 1 to 2 weeks. Naturally occurring olutypes* of some of the weeds listed : on this label may not be effectively controlled by this and/or
other products with the ALS/ AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode of action. Other herbicides with the ALS/AHAS enzyme-inhibiting mode of action include the imidazolinones (e.g. Pursuit herbicide, ScepterlB herbicide, etc.), the sulfonylureas (e.g. Accent, Basis, Classic, Concert, Permit, Pinnacle, etc.) the sulfonamides
(e.g. Broadstrike!!>, etc.) and the pyrimidyl benzoates (e,g. Staple, etc.). If naturally occurring biotypes are present in a field which are resistant to this herbicide, Liquid Lightning should be tank mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of action to ensure control.
*A weed biotype is a naturally occurring individual within a given species that has a slightly different, but distinctgenetic makeup from other plants. Replanting: If replanting is necessary in a field previously treated with Liquid Lightning, the field may be replanted only to CLEARFIELD corn. Rework the soil no deeper than the treated zone. DO NOT apply a second treatment of Liquid Lightning.
