DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in any manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Product Description: This product is a post-emergent, systemic herbicide for the control of many annual grasses and broadleaf weeds and suppression of perennial weeds in Roundup Ready corn. The product also provides residual control of selected broadleaf weeds. This product is applied to fallow fields and also postemergence to Roundup Ready corn from seedling emergence until the com reaches 12 inches in height.
Monsanto recomends that the product only be applied to corn hybrids designated as containing the Roundup Ready gene. Applying this product to corn hybrids which are not designated as Roundup Ready will result in severe crop injury and yield loss. The Roundup Ready designation indicates that the corn contains a patented gene which provides tolerance to this herbicide. Information on Roundup Ready corn may be obtained from your seed supplier or Monsamo Representative. The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field-type sprayers or aerial application after dilution and thorough mixing with water according to label instructions.

Time to Symptoms: This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow post-emergence activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
The preemergence activity of the product is through root absorption, its preemergence effectiveness depends on moisture to move it into the root zone.

Stage of Weeds: Annual weeds are easiest to control when they are small (2-4 inches tall). 'Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the recommended range when weed growth is heavy or dense.
Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage, as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust.
Cultural Considerations: Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the recommended stage for treatment.

Rainfastness: Heavy rainfall or sprinkler irrigation soon after application may wash this product off of the foliage reducing the level of control.
