For Preemergence, pre-plant incorporated, pre-plant, burndown, and postemergence control or suppression of weeds in Soybeans

PRODUCT INFORMATION

• SYNchroNY Xp herbicide is a dispersible granule formulation which readily dissolves in water.
• SYNchroNY Xp may be used in conventional, no-till, or conservation tillage soybean production.
• SYNchroNY Xp may be used at various rates and by various use methods depending on geographical location in the use regions Northern, central and Southern.
• residual applications of SYNchroNY Xp require rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to activate the herbicide. degree of control and duration of effect depend on: rate used, weed spectrum, growing conditions at and following time of treatment, soil ph, texture, organic matter, moisture and precipitation.
• best residual control is obtained if SYNchroNY Xp is applied to moist soil and followed by rainfall or irrigation (~1”) before weeds germinate. Several small rainfalls of less than 1/4” each are not as beneficial as one large rainfall of 1/2-1”. on dry soil, more moisture is required for activation (1-2”) before weed emergence. if moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation should be made after emergence of the crop while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of dupont SYNchroNY Xp and should be avoided.

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
SYNchroNY Xp rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds. Following application of preplant or preemergence treatment, susceptible weeds may germinate and emerge, but growth then ceases and leaves become yellow and/or brown by 3-5 days after emergence. death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species while others will remain green but stunted and noncompetitive. SYNchroNY Xp will provide best results when applied postemergence to young, actively growing weeds. Leaves of susceptible plants yellow 3-5 days after application, followed, in controlled plants, by the death of the growing point. SYNchroNY Xp will provide complete control of susceptible weeds in 7-21 days. Suppressed plants may remain green but will be stunted and noncompetitive. degree of control depends on: weed spectrum; weed size (if weeds are large, use higher spray volume); growing conditions at and following treatment; soil moisture; precipitation; and spray adjuvants. Treating weeds under stress or large weeds may result in only partial control. Stress may be caused by:
• abnormal weather (hot or cold)
• mechanical injury from cultivation
• drought
• water-saturated soil
• disease
• insect injury
• prior herbicide injury

RESTRICTIONS
• do not graze treated fields or harvest for hay within 14 days after application.
• SYNchroNY Xp can be applied in tank mixtures with organophosate insecticides or at any time preceding or following an application of an organophosphate insecticide on any STS, STS/rr soybean variety or soybeans with boLT technology. Tank mixtures of SYNchroNY Xp plus organophosphate insecticides applied to STS, STS/rr soybean varieties or soybeans with boLT technology may result in minor transient crop response (i.e. stunting and/or chlorosis).
• do not apply SYNchroNY Xp within 14 days before or after an application of an organophosphate insecticide on any soybean variety that is not STS, STS/rr or soybeans with boLT technology, as severe crop injury may occur.
• do not apply more than a total of 0.82 ounces active ingredient chlorimuron ethyl per acre per year in the Northern and central region states or 1.07 ounces active ingredient chlorimuron ethyl per acre per year in the Southern region states.
This includes combinations of preemergence and postemergence applications of chlorimuron ethyl products.
• do not apply more than a total of 0.75 ounces active ingredient of thifensulfuron methyl per acre per year in all use regionsspecified on this label.
• 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.
• do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• do not use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
• do not apply to frozen or snow covered ground.
• do not cultivate within 7 days of application.
• do not tankmix “poast plus” with 0.375 oz/acre SYNchroNY®Xp unless the soybean is designated as an STS variety or soybeans with boLT technology.
• do not apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions could produce poor coverage and/or off-target spray movement.
• do not apply SYNchroNY Xp herbicide by air in the state of New York.
• do not apply SYNchroNY Xp if rain is expected within 1 hour or weed control may decrease.
• Many crops are sensitive to SYNchroNY Xp. Avoid all direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than soybeans.
• Thoroughly clean all application equipment immediately after use and prior to spraying crops other than soybeans. injury to or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
• do not apply SYNchroNY Xp or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas.

PRECAUTIONS
• calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
• ensure that all operation employees accurately measure pesticides.
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand and avoid overfilling of spray tank.
• When triple-rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
• Failure to remove even small amounts of dupont SYNchroNY Xp from application equipment may result in injury to subsequently sprayed crops.
• Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds during storage.
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
• Stress affects some weeds, such as pigweed, more than others. delay application until stress passes and weeds start to grow again.
• Severe stress (drought, disease, insect damage, or nutrient deficiency such as iron chlorosis) following application may also result in poor weed control.
• Applications made when the crop is under stress from moisture, cold, heat, high humidity, disease, insect pressure and prior herbicide stress may result in excessive crop response.
