INFORMATION
Read all label directions before using.
Rhythm Herbicide is a herbicide that may be applied preplant, preemergence in Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 and/or postemergence in all regions for control and suppression of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges in soybeans. Soybean plants are tolerant to Rhythm Herbicide when applied according to labeled rates and uses. Rhythm Herbicide is generally most effective and consistent when used postemergence, working through contact action. Therefore, emerged weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Some bronzing,
crinkling, or spotting of soybean leaves may occur following postemergence applications, but soybeans soon outgrow these effects and develop normally. Optimum broad-spectrum weed control is achieved by postemergence applications of Rhythm Herbicide to young actively growing broadleaf weeds that are not under stress from moisture, temperature, and low soil fertility, mechanical or chemical injury. Certain germinating broadleaf and grass weeds and sedges may be controlled or suppressed by soil residual activity from either preplant, preemergence or postemergence applications if rainfall occurs shortly after application. The extent and consistency of soil activity is dependent upon soil type, ground cover at time of application, amount of rainfall and the rate of Rhythm Herbicide used.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
TIMING:
Best broad-spectrum postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds is obtained when Rhythm Herbicide is applied early to actively growing weeds. This usually occurs 14 to 28 days after planting. Refer to the weed tables for specific recommendations on weed growth stages, rates, and regions.

SPRAY ADDITIVES:
Only spray additives cleared for use on growing crops under 40 CFR 180.1001 may be used in spray mixture.
For best broad-spectrum postemergence control of susceptible broadleaf weeds in Regions 2, 3, 4 and 5 (see Regional Use Maps), Rhythm Herbicide should be used with 1.0-2.5% v/v liquid nitrogen (28% or similar) or a minimum of 8.5 Ibs. ammonium sulfate per 100 gals. of spray volume. For Postemergence Applications Always Add One of the Following: except in tank mix with products prohibiting spray additives - (See Tank Mix Directions for Use).

CROP OIL CONCENTRATE (COC):
Use a nonphytotoxic COC or a once-refined vegetable oil concentrate (VOC, MSO) containing 15-20% approved emulsifier at 0.5-1 % (1-2 pts. per 25 gals.) of finished spray volume. COC can improve weed control but may slightly reduce crop tolerance.

NONIONIC SURFACTANT (NIS):
Use NIS containing at least 75% surface active agent at 0.25-0.5% (1/2-1 pt. per 25 gals.) of the finished spray volume (Region 1 and East of Interstates 79 and 77 for Regions 2 and 3).

OTHER ADJUVANTS:
Adjuvants other than COC or NIS may be used providing the product meets the following criteria:
1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
2. Is nonphytotoxic to the target crop.
3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)
4. Is supported locally for use with Rhythm Herbicide on the target crop through proven field trials and through university and extension recommendations.
NOTE: No adjuvants are needed for preplant or preemergence applications unless Rhythm Herbicide is being used in a burndown.

Recommended Mixing Order:
1. Half required amount of water, begin agitation. *
2. Dry pesticide formulations.
3. Rhythm Herbicide.
4. Liquid pesticide formulation. **
5. Adjuvant (MSO, COC or NIS) and fertilizer.
*Compatibility agent, 1 gal./500 gals. of water or 0.2% v/v, may be added as needed.
**Tank mixing with glyphosate formulations containing more than 4 pounds glyphosate active ingredient per gallon may result in precipitate forming. If precipitate forms in spray tank, add ammonia (household) to the spray tank at a concentration of 2% of the total tank volume to remove precipitate.

GROUND APPLICATION:
Use sufficient spray volume and pressure to ensure complete coverage of the target. A minimum spray volume of 15 gals./A and 30 60 psi at the nozzle tip is recommended. On large weeds and/or dense foliage, use 60 psi and a minimum of 20 gals./A to ensure coverage of weed foliage. Use only hollow cone or flat fan nozzles. The sprayer must be calibrated to provide the proper volume and rate per acre. In addition, the boom and nozzle height must be adjusted to provide complete coverage of the target.
DO NOT USE FLOOD TYPE OR OTHER SPRAY NOZZLES, WHICH DELIVER COARSE, LARGE-DROPLET SPRAYS.
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH ANY TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
