Phantom 240 SL

GENERAL INFORMATION
Phantom 240 SL is a selective herbicide that can be applied as an early pre-plant, pre-plant incorporated, pre-emergent or post-emergent treatment in various crops. The application method depends upon the crop, anticipated weed spectrum and the preference of the applicator. With early pre-plant and pre-emergent treatments, susceptible weeds emerge, are present as stunted plants and then die. When Phantom 240 SL is applied post-emergence, absorption may occur through both the roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds stop growing and eventually die.

Eastern Canada Directions:
Use Phantom 240 SL at 312 mL (75 g active) – 420 mL (100 g active) in 400 L of water per hectare. See
appropriate rate tables for specific application rates for each crop.

NOTE: A NONIONIC SURFACTANT CONTAINING AT LEAST 80% ACTIVE INGREDIENT (e.g. AGRAL® 90, AG-SURF®) at the rate of 0.25% (v/v) MUST BE ADDED to the spray solution (2.5 L of surfactant per 1000 L of spray solution).

REGISTERED CROPS
Adzuki Beans
Alfalfa Grown for Seed Production
Dry Common Beans (black, Dutch brown, kidney, white, yellow eye and cranberry beans only)
Lima Beans (Ontario only)
Processing Peas
Snap Beans
Snow Peas
Soybeans

MOISTURE REQUIREMENTS
As with most soil-applied herbicides, pre-emergent applications of Phantom 240 SL require moisture for activation. Soil-applied Phantom 240 SL requires sufficient water within 7 days of application to moisten the soil to a depth of 5 cm for activation. If adequate moisture is not received within 7 to 10 days of application, perform a shallow inter-row cultivation 5-8 cm deep using a roller or S-tine cultivator to control escaped weeds until the field receives adequate moisture. For early pre-plant applications (soybeans only), more than 7-10 days may elapse before the receipt of adequate precipitation to activate the herbicide and reduce the risk of weed escapes. Growers preferring surface applications of herbicides may choose this type of application of Phantom 240 SL.

PLANT BACK RESTRICTIONS AND ROTATIONAL CROPS
In cases of crop failure, replant only soybeans, kidney beans, cranberry beans, Dutch brown beans, black beans, yellow eye beans, white beans, lima beans, adzuki beans and processing peas in the year of application. Winter wheat may also be re-planted in cases of crop failure or as a rotational crop 100 days following a Phantom 240 SL application. Soil preparation for re-planting should be no deeper than 10 cm.
Field corn, soybeans, winter wheat, spring wheat, spring barley, kidney beans, cranberry beans, Dutch brown beans, black beans, yellow eye beans, white beans, lima beans, adzuki beans and processing peas may be planted the season following a Phantom 240 SL application. Conduct a field bioassay (a test strip grown to maturity) the year BEFORE growing any other crop.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

CROP: SOYBEANS

Apply Phantom 240 SL as an early pre-plant, pre-plant incorporated, pre-emergent or postemergent treatment in soybeans.
For fields that contain weeds other than those listed in the “Weed Control in Soybeans: Phantom 240 SL Alone” table, tank mix for broad-spectrum weed control (see “Herbicide Tank Mix Options – Soybeans”). The choice of product for tank mixing will depend on the specific weed(s) to be controlled. Consult the labels of the tank mix products to determine which product will provide control of the specific weeds present in the field.

TIMING:
Early Pre-plant Application - Soybeans
Apply Phantom 240 SL up to 30 days before planting in conventional, reduced tillage or no-till soybeans. Phantom 240 SL alone may be applied as a surface application using this technique. Only one additional working of the soil to prepare the seedbed is recommended following the application. This final seedbed preparation should not work the soil deeper than 10 cm. Deeper tillage will result in reduced concentration of herbicide in the weed germination zone and reduction in weed control. DO NOT plow following the application.
RATE:
Early Pre-plant – Prior to Weed Emergence: 420 mL/ha
Early Pre-plant – to Emerged Weeds (before the weeds reach the 2 true leaf stage): 420 mL/ha + non-ionic surfactant. Nonionic surfactant MUST BE ADDED. Liquid fertilizer added to the spray solution will provide quicker burndown of weed
WATER VOLUME: 100-400 L/ha
SURFACTANT/ADJUVANT:
For Early Pre-plant – to Emerged Weeds: Non-ionic surfactant – 0.25% v/v (e.g. 2.5 L/1000 L of spray solution) Liquid fertilizer solution - 2 L/ha
WEEDS CONTROL: See “Weed Control in Soybeans” table above.
REMARK: Plant only soybeans during the season of application.
TANK MIX OPTIONS:
Phantom 240 SL may also be tank mixed with the herbicides listed in the “Herbicide Tank Mix Options – Soybeans” table. Always follow the most conservative rates, recommendations, precautions and restrictions on the tank mix labels. For the combined tank mix with ROUNDUP and FIRSTRATE, use the following:
Rates:
Phantom 240 SL – 312 mL/ha
ROUNDUP – 2.5 L/ha (0.900 kg ai/ha)
FIRSTRATE – 21 g/ha (0.0175 kg ai/ha)
Water Volume: 100-400 L/ha
Comments: This tank mix provides control of emerged weeds found on the ROUNDUP herbicide label and residual control of germinating weeds found on the Phantom 240 SL and FIRSTRATE herbicide labels. Temporary crop injury may occur, however, yield will not normally be affected. Avoid sprayer overlap. Severe crop injury will occur

TIMING:
Pre-plant Incorporated Application - Soybeans
Incorporate Phantom 240 SL evenly throughout the top 5 cm of the soil profile. Incorporation may be achieved with a double pass using discs or cultivator operated at 8 to 12 kph with the second pass at an angle to the first. Cultivators must have 3 or 4 rows of flexible sweeps staggered and spaced less than 15 cm apart followed by a drag or rolling basket to ensure no soil is left unturned.
RATE:
312 L/ha
WATER VOLUME: 100-400 L/ha
WEEDS CONTROL: See “Weed Control in Soybeans” table above.
REMARK: DO NOT apply Phantom 240 SL as a pre-plant incorporated application more than one year in sequence. Allow at least 24 months between pre-plant incorporated applications.
TANK MIX OPTIONS:
Soil Texture*:
Medium (loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay, sandy clay loam): 750
Heavy (silty clay, silty clay loam, clay and clay loam): 750
LEXONE 75 DF
Soil Texture*:
Medium (loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay, sandy clay loam): 540
Heavy (silty clay, silty clay loam, clay and clay loam): 640
*Do not use on light (loamy sand, sandy loam) textured soils. Do not use on soil with less than 2% organic matter.

TIMING:
Pre-emergent Application - Soybeans
Pre-emergent applications of Phantom 240 SL may be applied before the crop and weeds emerge.
RATE:
312 - 420 mL/ha
WATER VOLUME: 100-400 L/ha
WEEDS CONTROL: See “Weed Control in Soybeans” table above.
TANK MIX OPTIONS:
For fields that contain heavy infestations of common ragweed, old witchgrass, barnyard grass, lady’s-thumb or weeds other than those listed under “Phantom 240 SL Alone”, tank mixing may be required to provide broad-spectrum weed control (see “Herbicide Tank Mix Options – Soybeans” table). Follow the most conservative rates, recommendations, precautions and restrictions on the tank mix labels.

TIMING:
Early and Late Post-emergent Application - Soybeans
Apply Phantom 240 SL early post-emergent after the crop has emerged and before the weeds reach the 2 true leaf stage. Phantom 240 SL may also be applied late post-emergent after the crop has emerged for control of certain weed species up to the growth stages indicated in the “Weed Control in Soybeans: Phantom 240 SL Alone” table. To minimize weed competition with the crop, application should be made as early as possible after weed emergence.
RATE:
Early Post-emergent –(before the weeds reach the 2 true leaf stage): 312-420 mL/ha + non-ionic surfactant + liquid fertilizer
Late Post-emergent: 420 mL/ha + non-ionic surfactant + liquid Fertilizer.
WATER VOLUME: 100-400 L/ha
WEEDS CONTROL: See “Weed Control in Soybeans” table above.
REMARK:
Addition to the spray solution of a non-ionic surfactant plus liquid fertilizer is essential for postemergent application, improving uptake of the product by weeds resulting in improved herbicidal activity.
Avoid applications when weeds and/or crop are under growth stress. Stunting of the crop may result following post-emergence application. This condition is the result of stem inter-node shortening but will not result in yield reduction.
TANK MIX OPTIONS:
Phantom 240 SL may also be tank mixed with the herbicides listed in the “Herbicide Tank Mix Options – Soybeans” table. Always follow the most conservative rates, recommendations, precautions and restrictions on the tank mix labels.
Comments:
Use the 312 mL/ha rate of Phantom 240 SL when tank mixed with Basagran or Basagran Forte herbicide.
For Phantom 240 SL plus BASAGRAN herbicide, a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% (v/v) and fertilizer solution at the rate of 2 L/ha MUST BE ADDED to the spray solution.
For Phantom 240 SL plus BASAGRAN FORTE herbicide, only fertilizer solution MUST BE ADDED at the rate of 2 L/ha.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
For resistance management, Phantom 240 SL is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Phantom 240 SL and other Group 2 herbicides.
The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist.
Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of Phantom 240 SL or other Group 2 herbicides with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted.
Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development.
Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment and planting clean seed.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
For further information or to repo rt suspected resistance, contact Adama Agricultural Solutions Canada Ltd. at 855-264-6262.
