Applications & Uses

Product Use Rate

  CORN (FIELD, POP AND SWEET) (NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA)

WEEDS IN CROP RATE PER ACRE DIRECTIONS
Preplant 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 pints To control emerged broadleaf weed seedlings or existing cover crops prior to planting corn, apply 7 to 14 days before planting. Do not use on light, sandy soil, or where soil moisture is inadequate for normal weed growth. Use high rate for control of less susceptible weeds or cover crops such as alfalfa.
Preemergence 2 to 3 pints To control broadleaf weeds, apply 3-5 days after planting but before corn emerges. Use high rate on soil high in organic matter. Do not use on light, sandy soil, or where soil moisture is inadequate for normal weed growth.
Postemergence Annual broadleaf weeds Perennial broadleaf weeds 2/3 to 1 pint Avoid spraying just after the first corn leaves unfold, as injury may occur. Apply when weeds are small and corn is less than 8 inches tall (to top of canopy). If corn more than 8 inches tall must be sprayed, use drop pipes.
1 to 1-1/3 pints Spray when weeds are in the bud to bloom stage. If corn is more than 8 inches tall, use drop pipes to keep spray off corn leaves. Do not spray in tassel to dent stage. 2,4-D may make corn brittle. Winds or cultivation may cause stalk breakage while brittle
Preharvest 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 pints After the dent stage to suppress weeds that interfere with harvest, such as bindweed, cocklebur, dogbane, jimsonweed, ragweed, sunflower and velvetleaf, and to decrease production of weed seeds, spray with air or ground equipment. The high rate will be needed for weeds under stress. NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA.

CORN RESTRICTIONS:

• Preplant or Pre-emergence: Make no more than one application per crop cycle.

• Preplant or Pre-emergence: Do not apply more than 2-3/4 pints per acre per application.

• Postemergence: Make no more than one application per crop cycle.

• Postemergence: Do not apply more than 1-1/3 pints per acre per application.

• Minimum spray interval between applications for sweet corn is 21 days.

• Preharvest (Field and Pop only):

• Make no more than one application per crop cycle.

• Do not apply more than 4-1/4 pints per acre per application.

• Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application.

• Corn (Field and Pop) Pre-Harvest Interval is 7 days.

• Corn (Sweet) Pre-Harvest Interval is 45 days.

SOYBEANS (PREPLANT ONLY) (NOT FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA)

WEEDS IN CROP RATE PER ACRE DIRECTIONS
Annual and Perennial broadleaf weeds to 1-1/3 pts. Apply not less than 7 days prior to planting soybeans, when weeds are small and actively growing. Use the higher rate on larger weeds and when perennials are present. Some weeds may require repeat treatment for adequate control (See GENERAL WEED LIST on label)
1-1/3 to 2-2/3 pts. Apply not less than 15 days prior to planting soybeans, when weeds are actively growing. Some weeds may require repeat treatment for adequate control (See GENERAL WEED LIST on label).

  In addition to those weeds found on the GENERAL WEED LIST on the label, D-638TM will suppress or control the following broadleaf weeds frequently encountered in reduced tillage soybean production systems: bullnettle, smallflowered bittercress, Carolina geranium, smallflowered buttercup, common and rough cinquefoil, red clover (partially controlled), horseweed or marestail, mousetail, wild mustard, field pennycress, cutleaf evening primrose, common purslane, speedwell and Virginia copperleaf. After applying, plant soybean seed as deep as practical or at least 1-1/2 to 2 inches deep. Adjust the planter press wheel, if necessary, to ensure that planted seed is completely covered.

SOYBEAN (Preplant) RESTRICTIONS

• Pre-plant (2 application option):

- Do not apply more than 1-1/3 pints per acre per preplant application.

- Do not apply within 15 days of planting soybeans.

• Pre-plant (single application option):

- Do not apply more than 2-2/3 pints per acre.

- Do not apply within 30 days of planting soybeans.

• Do not apply prior to planting soybeans if you are not prepared to accept the results of soybean injury including possible loss of stand and yield.

• Do not mow or cultivate weeds prior to treating with this product as poor control may result.

• Do not feed treated hay, forage, or fodder or graze treated soybeans to livestock.

• Do not feed or graze treated cover crops to livestock.

• Do not replant fields treated with this product in the same growing season with crops other than those labeled for 2,4-D preplant use.
