Directions for Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying. NOT FOR SALE, USE OR DISTRIBUTION IN NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES IN NEW YORK STATE. 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
Stanza Herbicide is a selective herbicide for broadleaf weed control in field corn, including high oil and waxy varieties and field corn grown for ensilage. Stanza Herbicide may be applied as a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, or postemergence treatment. Soil surface treatments may be applied with water, liquid fertilizer, or impregnated on dry fertilizer. Postemergence treatments should be applied with water. Absorption of Stanza Herbicide occurs from both shoot and root uptake. Susceptible weeds exposed to Stanza Herbicide stop growing and either die or remain non-competitive with the crop. Stanza Herbicide provides residual control of weeds that may emerge after application. Adequate soil moisture is necessary for optimal activation because uptake and translocation of Stanza Herbicide involves uptake by emerging shoots and/or roots. Use directions in supplemental labeling may supersede directions or limitations in this labeling.

Use Precautions and Restrictions
Handling Precautions if Product is Packaged in Water Soluble Packets: Do not remove water soluble packet from overpack except for immediate use. Do not allow water soluble packet to come into contact with water prior to use. Do not handle water soluble packet with wet hands or wet gloves. Carefully reseal package containing unopened water soluble packets and protect package from moisture.
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 washwater, 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.
Product must be used in a manner that will prevent back-siphoning in wells, spills or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures or rinsates.

Application Precautions
• Uneven application or uneven incorporation of Stanza Herbicide can result in erratic weed control or crop injury. Over application may result in crop injury or rotational crop damage from soil residue.

Adverse Weather Conditions
• Soil Application Only: Extended cold, wet conditions (soil temperatures below 50ºF and excessive rainfall with wet soil conditions), following soil application of Stanza Herbicide to field corn, which persist during germination and/or early crop development may result in crop injury. Injury symptoms, which include yellowing of leaves and/or crop stunting, are usually temporary and affected corn plants usually recover without affecting yield.
• When applications are made under adverse (dry or cold) conditions or when large weeds or less susceptible species are treated, only weed suppression may be observed. Weed suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population, size, and/or vigor) as compared to an untreated area. Degree of control can be increased by applying Stanza Herbicide under favorable growing conditions (i.e., adequate moisture and temperature), and by using a higher rate in the specified rate range.
• Dry weather following preplant surface or preemergence applications of Stanza Herbicide may reduce effectiveness. If sufficient activating rainfall or overhead irrigation does not occur within 7 to 10 days of application, rotary hoe, harrow, or shallowly cultivate to incorporate the herbicide lightly into the soil. Use a preplant incorporated application when a period of dry weather is predicted after application.
• Avoid application when air temperature is near freezing or when freezing conditions are expected for several days following application.
• Postemergence application of Stanza Herbicide to corn that is stressed or damaged by conditions such as cold weather, hot weather (>90ºF), hail, drought, water saturated soil, disease, or insects may cause crop injury
