DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide is a preemergent herbicide which is mixed (incorporated) into the soil to provide long-lasting control of many annual grasses and broadleaved weeds. Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide controls susceptible weeds by killing seedlings as they germinate. It does not control established weeds.
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.
Discard clothing or other absorbent materials that have been heaving contaminated with this product.
DO NOT reuse them.
Users should remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands), estuaries or marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
To minimize the release of trifluralin into the environment due to volatilization, trifluralin should only be applied on cool mornings and evenings when air temperatures are 15°C or lower. To further reduce volatilization to the atmosphere, incorporation into the soil should occur concurrently with application.
Field sprayer application
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural
Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply by air.
Land Preparation
Cultivate to destroy existing weeds and ensure that large clods are broken before Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide application. When applying to stubble fields, chop and thoroughly mix crop residues into soil to a depth of 10 cm. Disc type implements provide the best results. Swath windrows should be evenly spread before cultivation to avoid strips of concentrated trash cover. Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide should not be sprayed on a soil surface with more than 25% trash cover. To avoid concentrating wild oat seeds below the treated layer, do not plow (moldboard) land prior to Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide application. If a swath has been removed by burning, cultivate once to remove the charcoal layer prior to application of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide.
Application
Add the recommended amount of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide to clean water in the spray tank during the filling operation and agitate thoroughly. Apply with at least 100 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) using any properly calibrated low-pressure herbicide sprayer that will apply the spray uniformly. Check the sprayer daily to ensure proper calibration and uniform application over the field. Apply Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide to soil surface and incorporate in the same operation if possible. Ensure that large clods are broken.
Do not delay incorporation more than 24 hours after application. When applied as directed, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide will not harm the treated crop or crops that follow in rotation; however, an over-application caused by overlapping, letting the sprayer run in one spot, improper calibration, non-uniform application, etc., may reduce stands of treated crops or crops that follow in rotation.
Incorporation
To incorporate, work Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide into the soil in two different directions. Use a tandem disc, discer or field (vibrashank type) cultivator set to work 8 to 10 cm deep for the first incorporation. A field cultivator (vibrashank type) is defined as an implement with 3 or 4 rows of sweeps spaced at intervals of 20 cm or less and staggered so that no soil is left unturned. The second incorporation should be a discing or cultivation in a cross direction at the same depth any time prior to planting.
Operate disc implements 7 to 10 km/hr and cultivators at 10 to 13 km/hr. Failure to operate implements at recommended speeds may result in erratic weed control due to poor distribution of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide in the soil. (Deep tillage cultivator not recommended).
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide should not be incorporated with a field cultivator when the soil is crusted, lumpy or too wet for good mixing action.
Disc type implements are preferred on stubble to ensure a 10 cm depth of operation.
Incorporation with implements set to cut less than 8 cm deep or more than 10 cm deep may result in erratic weed control, crop damage or rotational crop damage.
Rod weeders, harrows, deep tillage cultivators, chisel plows or hoe drills will not properly incorporate Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR USE IN PRAIRIE PROVINCES
Spring Application
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide can be applied immediately prior to planting or up to three weeks before planting.
Summer Application
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide can be applied to summerfallow between June 1 and September 1 for weed control in canola or flax the following year. Apply the summer rate and incorporate as above. Not recommended for sand and sandy loam soils.
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. The second incorporation (and subsequent incorporations) may be done whenever necessary to destroy resistant weed growth during the remainder of the fallow season. Shallow tillage (5 to 8 cm) is necessary in the spring prior to planting (refer to Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation).
Fall Application
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide can be applied in the fall between September 1 and prior to soil freeze-up for weed control the following year. Apply fall rates and incorporate as above. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. It is preferred to do both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm) in the spring prior to planting. However, one incorporation may be done in the fall and the second in the spring at the time of seedbed preparation, provided both operations are done at the recommended depth (refer to Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation).
Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation
Spring tillage following summer or fall application of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide should be done prior to seeding when the soil is warm enough to promote germination. Use a disc or field cultivator (vibrashank) set to cut at 5 to 8 cm deep. For optimum weed control in soils with heavy wild oat populations prework early in the spring with a shallow cultivation to promote weed seed germination, followed by a 5 to 8 cm deep cultivation prior to seeding to destroy existing green growth. Avoid transplanting weed seedlings; seed into a weed-free seedbed using accepted cultural practices. Avoid excessive compaction of the soil layer treated with Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide. Any operation that results in a more shallow or compacted treated layer may allow weeds to emerge. This compaction may result from tractor wheel tracks, implement wheels, drill press wheels or other field operations done after incorporation. Soils are more susceptible to compaction when they are moist.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLAX AND LENTILS
1. Both incorporations of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide must be done in the season of application prior to seeding flax in the spring.
2. The seedbed should be shallowly tilled (5 to 8 cm) and packed just prior to seeding in the spring to ensure a firm seedbed and accurate depth of planting.
3. Seeding should be done with a press drill or hoe drill. Seed into a moist seedbed no more than 4 cm deep.
4. Do not seed flax early in May when soil conditions are cold. Seeding should generally not be prior to May 15.
5. Refer to Warning statement regarding stresses that can lead to crop injury or yield reduction.

USE OF TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR OILSEED AND SPECIAL CROPS

APPLICATION OF TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may be mixed with liquid nitrogen fertilizer (e.g., 28-0-0) for application either preplant soil incorporated or postplant incorporated. Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may also be mixed with Avadex BW4 Herbicide and liquid fertilizer for postplant incorporated application in wheat or barley. All label recommendations of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide regarding rates per hectare, approved crops, incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special precautions must be followed.
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide should be poured directly into the liquid fertilizer, mixed thoroughly and applied as soon as possible. Constant agitation is needed until application is complete. Apply the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide/fertilizer mixture with properly calibrated equipment suitable for liquid fertilizer application. Ensure that the material is applied uniformly to the soil surface. Follow normal incorporation procedures for Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide
Small quantities of liquid fertilizer and herbicide should be tested for compatibility prior to tank-mixing. Use the compatibility test as follows:
1. Put 500 mL of liquid fertilizer into a 1 L jar.
2. Add 10 mL of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide
3. Close jar and shake well.
4. The herbicide and fertilizer are compatible if the herbicide remains in suspension after five minutes. If the herbicide settles out quickly but goes into suspension easily upon shaking, the mixture may be used provided constant agitation is utilized.
5. A compatibility test is also recommended when there is a change in fertilizer supplies, fertilizer formulations and climatic temperatures.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE IMPREGNATED/COATED ONTO DRY GRANULAR FERTILIZER
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide. Application should be made as soon as possible after blending. All Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide label recommendations regarding rates per hectare, approved crops, incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special precautions must be followed.
To obtain commercially acceptable weed control with Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide impregnated on fertilizer, the following minimum rates of fertilizer must be used:
Spring Application 330 kg/ha Fall Application 250 kg/ha
Mix and blend dry fertilizer and Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide in any commonly used dry fertilizer blender. Ensure that uniform spray coverage is obtained. Sufficient blending/mixing time should be allowed to obtain uniform coverage of dry fertilizer with Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide
Spread the fertilizer/Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide mixture with a properly calibrated granular fertilizer applicator. Be certain the blended material is applied uniformly to the soil surface. The first incorporation should be completed as soon as possible (within 24 hours) after fertilizer application. It is recommended to delay the second incorporation for a period of at least six days to ensure optimum dissipation of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide within the soil.
CAUTION: Any commonly used dry fertilizer can be used for the impregnation of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide
except ammonium nitrate. Use with nitrate fertilizers may cause explosion and fire.
NOTE: Compliance with the Fertilizer Act and Regulations (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) is the responsibility of the individual/company selling the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide/fertilizer mixture.

USE OF TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR SOYBEANS
For Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide on soybeans refer to Use of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide for Oilseed and Special Crops. A tank-mix combination of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide plus Sencor Herbicide 6 may be used for weed control in soybeans.
NOTE: Do not plant soybean varieties Ace, Apache, Baron, DAC Eramosa, Maple Amber, Maple Ridge, Nottawa, OAC Eramosa or Portage on areas treated with Sencor Herbicide as unacceptable injury may result.

TREFLAN Liquid EC HERBICIDE PLUS SENCOR HERBICIDE (TANK-MIX): PREPLANT INCORPORATED
Treflan EC Herbicide may be applied in a tank-mix combination with Sencor Herbicide as a preplant incorporated broadcast application to soybeans for the control of many annual grasses and broadleaved weeds.
Weeds Controlled by Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide Plus Sencor Herbicide
Application
Select the proper rates of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor 500 F/75 DF Herbicide as shown based on soil type and percent organic matter. Follow all land preparation, mixing, spraying, incorporation directions and precautions on this label.
Mixing Sequence
It is important to follow the correct sequence when mixing Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide in the spray tank.
The following steps are essential when combining Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide with Sencor Herbicide:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While continuing to fill the spray tank and with the agitation and recirculating system operating, slowly add the full amount of Sencor Herbicide for that tankload.
3. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with clean water, while maintaining constant agitation of the mixture.
4. After the full amount of Sencor Herbicide is thoroughly mixed, add the calculated amount of Treflan
Liquid EC Herbicide to the tank and agitate thoroughly.
5. To avoid any compatibility problems, spray immediately. Continuous agitation is required until the mixture is sprayed out. Do not allow the sprayer to stand without agitation or settling will occur and vigorous mixing with a paddle will be necessary to remix the chemical in the spray tank.
Use the Rinse, Drain and Disposal Procedure section instructions to ensure all contents are removed from containers prior to disposal.
Spray Application
Apply the tank-mix of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide to the soil surface and incorporate in the same operation, if possible. Do not delay first incorporation more than 24 hours after application. Apply the tank-mix in at least 100 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) using any properly calibrated
low-pressure herbicide sprayer that will apply the spray uniformly. Application may be made with any
properly calibrated commercial tractor-drawn or self-propelled field sprayer equipped with the following:
1. Nozzle tips no finer than 6502, 8002 or TK2 with nozzle screens no finer than 0.3 mm (50 mesh).
2. A 0.3 mm or larger line strainer(s) or screen.
3. A pump of sufficient capacity to provide adequate volume through the by-pass and/or jet agitation system to provide a uniform spray mixture even while the booms are operating.
NOTE: Felt filters, small nozzle tips or smaller screens will become clogged.

Sprayer Clean-up
Spray equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to remove remaining traces of herbicide that might injure other crops to be sprayed. Drain any remaining spray solution of Sencor Herbicide and Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide from the spray tank and discard in non-crop areas away from water supplies. Rinse the spray tank and refill with water, adding a heavy-duty detergent at the rate of 250 mL/100 L of water. Recycle this mixture through the equipment for 5 minutes and spray out. Repeat this procedure twice. Fill the spray tank with clean water, recycle for 5 minutes and spray out. Clean pump and nozzle screens thoroughly. Wash away any spray mixture from the outside of the spray tank, nozzles or spray rig.
Incorporation
Refer to General Information for Oilseed and Special Crops.
NOTE: Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide can be applied in the fall prior to soil freeze-up for weed control the following year. Apply fall rates and incorporate as above. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. It is preferred to do both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm) in the spring prior to planting. However, one incorporation may be done in the fall and the second in the spring at the time of seedbed preparation, provided both operations are done at the recommended depth (refer to Spring Tillage and Seedbed Preparation).
Spring Tillage and Seedbed Preparation
Spring tillage following fall application of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide should be done when the soil is warm enough to promote germination. Use a disc or vibrashank cultivator operated at 5 to 8 cm deep. Avoid transplanting weed seedlings. Seed into a weed-free seedbed using accepted cultural practices.
IMPORTANT: Rotation crops such as onions, celery, peppers, cole crops, lettuce and spinach, sugar beets, table beets and turnips, pumpkin and squash, cucumbers and melons, tobacco and canola (non- triazine tolerant) are sensitive to Sencor Herbicide and may be injured if planted in soil treated with Sencor Herbicide during the year of application and following crop year. After harvest, tillage practices that provide thorough mixing of the soil may be helpful in reducing the chance of injury to succeeding crops.
As a precaution, oats, sugar beets and small-seeded annual grasses such as timothy, canaryseed grass and creeping red fescue should not be grown in rotation following a crop treated with Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide

USE OF TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE ON WHEAT AND BARLEY: POSTPLANT INCORPORATED (HARROWED IN AFTER SEEDING)
Mode of Action
Treflan Liqud EC Herbicide is applied and incorporated in the soil in the spring after planting and prior to the emergence of the wheat and barley for the control of wild millet (green and yellow foxtail). Weed control is achieved by establishing a shallow (2 cm), treated layer of Treflan Liqud EC Herbicide near the soil surface.
Within this layer, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide controls weed seeds by killing them as they germinate. Generally, the majority of wild millet seeds germinate from this depth. However, in some years due to climatic conditions, wild millet may germinate from a deeper depth. Consequently, deep-seeded wild millet seeds germinating below the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide layer may not be controlled. Crop safety is maintained since the wheat and barley seeds are located in the untreated soil beneath the layer of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide
Land Preparation
Plant your wheat and barley as you normally do. Wheat and barley should be seeded to a depth of 5 to 8 cm in a well-tilled seedbed.
Application and Incorporation
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide (Harrowed in After Seeding)
1. Add the recommended amount of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide to clean water in the spray tank during the filling operation and agitate thoroughly. Apply at least 100 L/ha of water (broadcast basis) using any properly calibrated low-pressure herbicide sprayer. Check the sprayer daily to ensure proper calibration and uniform application.
2. Apply Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide as soon as possible after seeding and before crop emerges.
3. Apply Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide to soil surface which is free of trash or was fallowed the previous year. Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide should not be sprayed or incorporated when the soil is crusted, lumpy or too wet for good mixing action.
4. Application and the first incorporation should be done in the same operation if possible. Incorporate to a shallow depth with diamond harrows or tyne harrows in two different directions at speeds of 8 to 11 km/hr. Both incorporations must be done within 24 hours of application of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide Uneven incorporation may result in some wild millet escapes in the bottom of furrows left by the last row of the harrows if the depth of the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide treated layer in these troughs is not sufficient to prevent emergence of wild millet. To obtain a more uniform layer of treated soil, operate tyne harrows inclined at least 45 degrees backwards and harrow at a speed which minimizes the amount of soil ridging by the harrows.
CAUTION: Wheat or barley may be injured if seeded through a treated layer or into a deeply-incorporated layer of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide. Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide will not adversely affect wheat or barley. Seedling disease, cold weather, improper seeding depth, excessive moisture, high salt concentration or drought may weaken crop seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide. Under these conditions, delayed crop development or reduced yields may result. This treatment of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may not provide adequate control of weeds other than wild millet (green foxtail and yellow foxtail).

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE PLUS AVADEX BW HERBICIDE (TANK-MIX): POSTPLANT INCORPORATED (HARROWED IN AFTER SEEDING)
Land Preparation
Seed crop before application. Seed wheat/barley to depth of 5 to 8 cm using conventional seeding implement.
Application and Incorporation
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide Plus Avadex BW Herbicide (Tank-Mix)
1. Apply and soil incorporate Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide plus Avadex BW Herbicide in a tank-mixed combination in the spring after planting and prior to emergence of wheat or barley.
2. Soil incorporate the mixture to a shallow depth (above the seed). Shallow incorporation may be accomplished with diamond harrows, tyne harrows or other similar implements operated twice over the treated area.
3. Application should be confined to fields which are trash-free or were fallowed during the previous year.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR USE IN SOYBEANS
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide incorporated before planting soybeans will control most annual grasses and many broadleaved weeds. To control more weeds, use Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide in combination with the following:

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE PLUS SENCOR HERBICIDE LEXONE7 HERBICIDE (TANK-MIX)
Tank-mix combinations control all the weeds listed on the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide label plus many additional broadleaved weeds including smartweed, velvetleaf, wild mustard and common ragweed.
Control of cocklebur may be erratic ranging from fair to excellent depending on soil temperature, time of weed germination, depth of weed seed in the soil and the amount and timing of soil moisture. Cultivation may improve control.
Tank-mixes of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide may be applied up to 10 days before planting.
Do not use on light soils with less than 2% organic matter.
Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, tank-mixed Treflan Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide will not reduce soybean yields.
However, Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide alone has limited crop tolerance and initial crop injury may occur under certain conditions.
Over-application may result in stunting, crop injury or soil residue.
Uneven application or improper soil incorporation of the tank-mix can result in erratic weed control or crop injury depending on rate used.
Seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high soil pH (above 7.5), high salt concentration or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide. Under these conditions, delayed crop development or reduced yields may result.
On variable soils with light sandy areas, some injury may occur on sandy areas if the rate used is for the heavier soil type in the field. Sandy loam and silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions.
Do not plant metribuzin-sensitive soybean varieties Ace, Apache, Baron, Maple Amber, Maple Ridge, OAC Eramosa, IA 1003, S-240 or Nottawa on areas treated with Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide as unacceptable injury may result.
Refer to the Sencor Herbicide and Lexone Herbicide labels for directions on use and special precautions. Do not use foliage from soybeans treated with the combination for forage.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE CORRECT SEQUENCE WHEN MIXING TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE AND SENCOR HERBICIDE /LEXONE HERBICIDE IN THE SPRAY TANK. THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE ESSENTIAL:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While continuing to fill the spray tank and with the agitation and recirculating system operating, slowly add the full amount of Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide for that tankload.
3. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with clean water, while maintaining constant agitation of the mixture.
4. After the full amount of Sencor Herbicide/Lexone Herbicide is thoroughly mixed, add the calculated amount of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide to the tank and agitate thoroughly.
5. Continuous agitation is required until the mixture is sprayed out. Do not allow the sprayer to stand without agitation or settling will occur and vigorous mixing with a paddle will be necessary to remix the chemical in the spray tank.
Variations in this mixing sequence may lead to incompatibilities.

NOTE: THIS TREATMENT FOR USE ONLY ON TRIAZINE TOLERANT CANOLA. NON-TRIAZINE TOLERANT CANOLA WILL BE KILLED BY THIS COMBINATION.
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may be applied in the spring for triazine tolerant canola. A postemergence triazine herbicide registered for this use may then be applied after crop emergence to control several additional weeds. Refer to individual labels of the postemergence herbicides for specific recommendations and follow warnings and precautions as stated.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR USE IN TOMATOES
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide, incorporated before planting tomatoes, will control most annual grasses and many broadleaved weeds. To control more weeds, use Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide in combination with Sencor
Herbicide for the following:

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE PLUS SENCOR HERBICIDE IN TRANSPLANTED TOMATOES (GROWN FOR PROCESSING ONLY)
A postemergence directed application of Sencor 500F Herbicide is used to control any weed escapes before they exceed 2.5 cm in height and 3 weeks or more after transplanting tomatoes. This should also leave a residual amount of Sencor 500F Herbicide to maintain season-long control.
This follow-up Sencor Herbicide application is usually timed for early July, but should not be applied earlier than 21 days after transplanting tomatoes or no later than 60 days before harvesting.
Refer to the Sencor 500F Herbicide label for additional instructions and precautions.
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may damage transplants weakened by any cause which may result in reduced crop yield. To prevent damage, plant only healthy transplants; do not plant when cool, wet or unfavourable growing conditions exist. Follow all application and incorporation directions exactly.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE USE FOR ASPARAGUS - ESTABLISHED THREE YEARS
Follow recommended soil preparation, application and incorporation procedures for Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide Apply to established asparagus in the early spring after ferns are removed but before spear extension from the crowns. Or apply after harvest in the late spring or early summer before ferning
begins.
CAUTION: Set implements so asparagus crowns are not injured during soil preparation and incorporation.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE FOR USE ON FALL CEREALS GROWN IN ROTATION WITH FLUE- CURED TOBACCO TO CONTROL LOOSE SILKY BENTGRASS
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide is applied and incorporated in the soil in the fall as soon as possible after planting and prior to the emergence of the fall cereal for the control of loose silky bentgrass. Weed control is achieved by establishing a shallow (2 cm) layer of Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide near the soil surface. Within this layer, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide controls loose silky bentgrass by stopping growth as the seeds germinate. Crop safety is maintained since the fall cereal seeds are located in the untreated soil beneath the Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide layer.
Application and Incorporation
Fall cereals should be seeded to a depth of 5 to 8 cm in a well-tilled seedbed. Apply Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide at a rate of 0.8 to 1.2 L/ha product in a minimum of 100 L/ha water with a properly calibrated herbicide sprayer. Use the 1.2 L/ha rate for heavy infestations of loose silky bentgrass. Apply Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide as soon as possible after seeding and before crop emerges, to soil surface which is free of trash. Incorporate to a shallow depth with diamond harrows or tyne harrows in two different directions at speeds of at least 8 km/hr. Both incorporations must be done within 24 hours of application.

TREFLAN LIQUID EC HERBICIDE USE FOR FIRST YEAR APPLE, APRICOT, CHERRY, PEACH, PLUM AND PEAR TREES
Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide applied and incorporated before transplanting fruit trees will control most annual grasses and many broadleaved weeds. For the control of additional weeds, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide may be tank-mixed with Sencor Herbicide. Do not apply more than one application per year.

BUFFER ZONES TO PROTECT SENSITIVE HABITATS
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.
When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide is a Group 3 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide and other Group 3 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 Treflan Liquid EC Herbicide or other Group 3 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.
