- Use Directions
CORN
Metolachlor + MesoATZ™ may be used as a preemergence application for control of most annual grass and broadleaf weeds in field corn, field corn seed, field silage corn, sweet corn, and yellow popcorn. This product may also be applied as an early postemergence for the control of broadleaf weeds in field corn, field corn seed, and field silage corn. Do not make applications of this product to emerged sweet corn or yellow popcorn, or severe adverse crop response or crop injury will result.
- Product Use Rate
USE RATE:
• Use 3.0 qts. of this product per acre, if soil organic matter content is less than 3%.
• Use 3.5 qts. of this product per acre, if soil organic matter content is 3% or greater.
• DO NOT make applications to field corn taller than 12 inches, or apply greater than 3.5 qts./A per year.
• This product is not recommended on soils that have greater than 10% organic matter, or poor weed control may occur
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS – ALONE
Early Pre-Plant: Make applications of this product up to 14 days before planting.
Preemergence Surface: Do not exceed 3.5 qts. of this product per season. Make applications to the soil surface as a broadcast or banded application.
Banded Preemergence: Make applications of this product in a 10-to15- inch band after corn planting but before corn has emerged.
Band Applications: Using row and band width measurements in inches, calculate the amount of product to be applied per acre as follows:
Band width (inches) Row width (inches) x Rate/acre for a broadcast treatment = Amount needed per acre
Early Postemergence: Make applications of this product after field corn has emerged. See the Additives section of this label for specific recommendation if using an adjuvant. Do not apply early post-emergence to field corn in liquid fertilizer or severe adverse crop response or crop injury may result. Make applications of this product to small broadleaf weeds (no greater than 5 inches tall) and before the field corn reaches 12 inches in height. Field corn leaf burn may result, but this will not affect later crop growth or yield. Do not make applications of this product to sweet corn or yellow popcorn that has emerged or severe adverse crop response or crop injury may result.
This product will not provide consistent control of grass weeds that have emerged. A tank mix with another herbicide may be required for control of emerged weed grasses (Refer to the Tank Mix section of the label.) If applications of metolachlor or s-metolachlor, and atrazine (either alone or in combinations) have been made prior to an application of this product, limit the amount of Metolachlor + MesoATZ™ as an early post-application to no greater than a total of 2.5 lbs. of active ingredient of atrazine or 3.75 lbs. of metolachlor active ingredient per acre, or illegal crop residues may result.
Split Application: Split applications of this product may be made in field corn, field corn seed, and field silage corn. For a split application program, make applications of 1.5 - 2.0 qts./A of this product before crop had emerged, followed by a second application at a rate of 1.25 - 1.75 qts./A as a post- application after corn has emerged. The total amount of this product applied in the split application program must not exceed 3.0 qts./A in soils with less than 3% soil organic matter and must not exceed 3.5 qts./A in soils with greater than 3% organic matter. Reference the Early Postemergence section above for additional information on post-emergence applications.
Product Applications - Tank Mixtures Use of Spray Adjuvants in Tank Mixtures
Used as a pre-emergence herbicide, prior to weed emergence, spray adjuvants make little or no impact on product performance. Where weeds have emerged and the corn has not, an adjuvant may be used with this product applied alone or applied in tank mixture as a burndown application with a tank mix partner burndown herbicide as directed on the individual tank mix partner label(s). Use only adjuvants approved for agricultural crop use. Refer to the Additives/Adjuvants section of the product label for additional information and directions.
Reduced Tillage Burndown Combinations: In reduced or no-till corn and prior to crop emergence, tank mixtures with products containing paraquat dichloride or glyphosate will burndown weeds that have emerged. For optimum results, tank mix applications of Metolachlor + MesoATZ™ plus paraquat dichloride or glyphosate should be made to weeds that are 1 to 6 inches in height. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Refer to the paraquat dichloride or glyphosate or glyphosate product label for additional information on weeds controlled, directions for use, restrictions and precautions.
Applications Prior to Crop Emergence: Pre-Emergence Tank Mixtures
The tank mix products listed in the table below may be used in conventional, reduced, or no-till cropping systems and be applied using the same methods and same application timings as this product unless otherwise directed in the tank mix partner label. Follow all tank mix product labels for directions for use and restrictions. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Be sure to conduct a compatibility test to prior application. Tank mixtures with 2,4-D may be made, but extreme care should be taken to ensure compatibility before mixing a load or making an application. 2,4-D products vary greatly with regard to compatibility and should be checked during every application where a water or carrier source, water or carrier temperature, product source, or tank mixture recipe is altered.
