PRODUCT INFORMATION
TACKLE herbicide provides burndown and residual control of many broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans. It can be applied to no-till soybeans as a burndown prior to planting. It may also be applied postemergence to Roundup Ready soybeans for season-long weed control. TACKLE is effective for control of difficult weeds common to no-till production. Occasionally, internode shortening and/or temporary yellowing of crop plants may occur following an application of TACKLE. These effects occur infrequently and are usually temporary. BURNDOWN WEED CONTROL (no-till soybeans and stale seedbed) Apply TACKLE for burndown of weeds in no-till soybeans. It may be applied prior to planting, or preemergence of any soybean variety (including Roundup Ready or non-Roundup Ready soybeans). Add 2,4-D or dicamba products to the spray tank for enhanced control of perennial weeds including marestail and hemp dogbane.

ROUNDUP READY SOYBEANS (glyphosate-resistant)
TACKLE may also be applied for postemergence weed control in Roundup Ready soybeans. Apply TACKLE for general weed burndown and season-long control of broadleaf and grass weeds.
For season-long control of grass weeds, apply an approved preemegence herbicide prior to planting soybeans. Several herbicides such as PROWL 3.3 EC, PROWL H2O, and DUALMAGNUM brands will also enhance control of waterhemp. A postemergence application of TACKLE will control many escape weeds and provide season-long control of most broadleaf and grass weeds. When mixing TACKLE herbicide with 2,4-D, dicamba products, or soybean preemergence herbicides, always use in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product can not be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. When organophosphate (such as chlorpyrifos) or carbamate insecticides are tank-mixed
with TACKLE, temporary injury may result to the treated crops. NOTE: DO NOT apply TACKLE postemergence to non-Roundup Ready soybeans.

ATTENTION
AVOID CONTACT OF TACKLE WITH FOLIAGE OF DESIRABLE PLANTS, BECAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR PLANT DEATH MAY RESULT. AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS.
DO NOT allow the herbicide solution to drift onto desirable vegetation. Very small amounts of drift may cause injury or death to desirable crops or plants. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product increases when winds are gusty. The risk of injury from this product increases when wind direction is constantly changing or during inversion conditions or other weather conditions that favor drift. Avoid applications using high spray pressure and high speed. These contribute to conditions that favor small spray droplets and drift.

RATES
BURNDOWN WEED CONTROL (no-till soybeans and stale seedbed)
Apply TACKLE at the rate of 2-4 pints per acre. (One gallon will treat 2-4 acres of soybeans at these rates.) ROUNDUP READY SOYBEANS (in crop postemergence weed control) To minimize weed competition to the soybeans, apply to weeds 1-4 inches in size. Apply TACKLE at the rate of 2-4 pints per acre. (One gallon will treat 2-4 acres of soybeans at these rates.)

TWO APPLICATIONS
Preplant burndown of TACKLE can be applied at the rate of 2 pints per acre, 0 – 3 weeks prior to planting, followed by applying TACKLE at the rate of 2 pints per acre POST application, 2 – 3 weeks after planting.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
POSTEMERGENCE
TACKLE herbicide is effective in controlling weeds in conservation tillage as well as in conventional production systems. Apply TACKLE as a postemergence treatment. Application timing should be based on weed size and not crop growth stage. Apply TACKLE to crops and weeds that are actively growing. A non-ionic surfactant and a nitrogen-based fertilizer must be added to the spray solution for optimum weed control activity. See the ADJUVANTS section under

MIXING
INSTRUCTIONS for specific instructions.
When TACKLE is applied postemergence, absorption will occur through both the roots and foliage. Susceptible weeds stop growing and either die or are not competitive with the crop. TACKLE not only controls many existing broadleaf and grass weeds when applied postemergence, it also provides control of susceptible weeds that may emerge after application.
For maximum weed control, cultivate 7-10 days following a postemergence TACKLE herbicide application. This timely cultivation will enhance residual weed control, especially under dry conditions. Apply TACKLE at a minimum of one hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation. Unusually cool temperatures (50° F or less) reduce photosynthesis and transpiration and thus reduce uptake, translocation, and efficacy of TACKLE in weeds. If air temperature has been below 50° F for 10 or more hours, delaying a TACKLE herbicide application for 48 hours after the temperature increases above 50° F will improve weed control and reduce crop response.

NO-TILL/MINIMUM TILLAGE AND DOUBLE CROP SOYBEANS
TACKLE controls existing weeds and provides residual control of several weeds when applied early postemergence to soybeans in no-till or minimum tillage and double crop soybean production systems. Apply either before or after emergence of the crop. (Refer to the WEEDS CONTROLLED chart for weeds controlled and weed size). The addition of PROWL 3.3 EC, PROWL H2O or DUAL MAGNUM brands, in a tank-mixture with TACKLE for burndown weed control, will provide season long control of grass and enhance control of waterhemp
