acetochlor + mesotrione (Harness Max)
Rate 1.12 to 1.92 lb ai/A Acetochlor + 0.096 to 0.18 lb ai/A Mesotrione (40-75 fl oz/A Harness Max)
Time Apply preplant, preemergence, or postemergence to field corn, seed corn, and yellow popcorn.
Remarks Harness Max is a premixture of acetochlor (HG 15) and mesotrione (HG 27). Postemergence applications can be made to corn up to 11 inches in height. Harness Max will provide excellent control of annual small-seeded broadleaf and grass weeds as well as postemergence control of some large-seeded broadleaf weeds. Use lower rate on coarse soils and lower organic matter (sand, sandy loams), higher rate on fine soils (silt loam, clays, silts) and soils high in organic matter. Consult label for compatible herbicide tankmix partners and adjuvants. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone in order to control weeds that have not emerged. The amount of moisture required for maximum activity depends on existing soil moisture, soil type, and organic matter content, but 0.5 to 0.75 inch is normally adequate.
Caution Do not apply to within 50 ft of any well where the depth of ground water is 30 ft or less. Field corn, seed corn, yellow popcorn, or grain sorghum can be planted immediately after application; wheat (4 months); alfalfa, peanuts, soybean, cotton (10 months); barley, rye, oats, millet (the spring following application); cucurbits, dry beans, peas, sugar beets and all other rotational crops (18 months). Refer to the label for all rotational restrictions. Do not apply to white popcorn, sweet corn, or ornamental (Indian) corn. Do not exceed a maximum of 3 lb ai/A of acetochlor from any product or combination of products containing acetochlor per year. Do not exceed a maximum of 0.24 ai/A of mesotrione from any product or combination of products containing mesotrione per year. Do not exceed a maximum of 0.19 lb ai/A of mesotrione applied postemergence from any product or combination of products containing mesotrione per year. Do not make more than 2 applications of this product per year (preemergence followed by postemergence or two postemergence applications are allowed). Only one postemergence application may be made if Harness Max has been used preemergence. Applications must be at least 14 days apart. Mixing Harness Max with organophosphate or carbamate insecticide will result in severe corn injury.
Allow a minimum of 60 days before harvesting forage, grain, or stover or feeding corn forage to livestock

atrazine (Aatrex 4L and several other trade names)
Rate 1.6 to 2 lb ai/A (2.5 lb ai/A maximum rate of product per season)
Time Apply preplant, preemergence, or postemergence when weeds are less than 1.5 inches tall.
Remarks Use lower rate on coarse soils (sand, sandy loams), higher rate on fine soils (silt loam, clays, silts) and soils high in organic matter. Overhead moisture required for maximum activity. East of the Cascades, postemergence applications may be made under sprinkler irrigation. Emerged annual grasses, such as barnyardgrass and green foxtail, are not adequately controlled when soil surface is dry at application and/or grasses are past the two-leaf stage. East of the Cascades, where rill irrigated, incorporate 2 inches deep before planting. If applying postemergence, control is enhanced by adding a nonionic adjuvant or a crop oil concentrate to the mix.
Caution A restricted-use herbicide. Plant only corn during the season of treatment. West of the Cascades, crops other than corn can be planted the year after treatment at 2 lb ai/A or less. East of the Cascades, do not plant any crop other than corn the year after treatment. Some populations of redroot pigweed, groundsel, kochia, and lambsquarters have evolved resistance to atrazine. Combine other herbicides with atrazine if these species are present. Do not graze treated area or feed treated forage to livestock for 21 days after application. After harvesting a treated crop, plow and thoroughly till the soil in the fall or spring to minimize possible injury to rotational spring-seeded crops.

S-metolachlor + atrazine + bicyclopyrone + mesotrione (Acuron)
Rate 2.15 to 2.58 lb ai/A (2.5 to 3 quarts/A Acuron)
Time Apply either preemergence or post emergence to field and silage corn; preemerge only to yellow popcorn.
Remarks Acuron is a combination of the herbicides atrazine, bicyclopyrone, mesotrione and S-metolachlor plus the safener benoxacor. Rate is dependent on soil organic matter. When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine with Acuron to corn, do not exceed an application rate of 2.0 lb active ingredient of atrazine per acre for any single application and the total pounds of atrazine applied (lb ai/A) must not exceed 2.5 lb active ingredient per acre per year. When applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, Acuron will not harm the treated crop. During germination and early stages of growth, extended periods of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plant disease attack, carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil applied systemic insecticides, or improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides, may weaken crop seedlings. Acuron used under these conditions could result in crop injury. Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. Dry weather following preemergence application of Acuron or an Acuron tank mixture may reduce effectiveness. If possible, cultivate if weeds develop. Applying Acuron postemergence to corn that has received an at-plant application of Counter insecticide can result in severe corn injury. Temporary corn injury may occur if Acuron is applied to emerged corn where organophosphate insecticides other than Counter were applied at planting. Postemergence (emerged corn) applications of any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide within 7 days before or 7 days after a Acuron application may result in severe corn injury.
Caution Restricted Use Herbicide (groundwater and surface water concerns) Grazing Restriction: To avoid possible illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 45 days following application. Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Corn (for grain, seed, or silage) may be treated up to 12 inches tall. Do not harvest forage within 60 days after application. Do not apply more than 3.0 quarts of Acuron per acre per growing year. Do not use aerial application to apply Acuron. Do not apply Acuron to sweet corn or yellow popcorn after the crop has emerged or severe crop injury may occur. Do not use Acuron on any crop other than corn (for grain, seed, or silage), sweet corn (preemergence applications only) or yellow popcorn (preemergence applications only). Do not use Acuron in the culture of white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn or injury may occur. Do not contaminate irrigation water used for crops or water used for domestic purposes. Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with other materials, or crop damage or sprayer clogging of the application device may occur. If crop treated only with Acuron is lost, corn (field, seed, silage), sweetcorn, yellow popcorn, can be replanted immediately. Small grain cereals including wheat, barley and rye can be planted 4 months after application. Dry bean and potato can be planted 10 months and all other crops after 18 months.

Time Apply either preemergence or post emergence.
Remarks Coyote is a combination of the herbicides S-metolachlor and mesotrione plus the safener benoxacor. Rate is dependent on soil organic matter. If organic matter is below 3% use 2.0 quarts per acre of Coyote. Apply Coyote for pre-emergence control of many annual grass and broadleaf weeds in field corn, seed corn, sweet corn and yellow popcorn. Coyote may also be applied post-emergent for the control of broadleaf weeds in field corn and seed corn. Do not apply Coyote to yellow popcorn or sweet corn after the crop has emerged, or crop injury may occur. If organic matter is greater than or equal to 3% use 2.4 quarts/A of Coyote. Poor weed control may result if Coyote is applied on soils with greater than 10% organic matter.
Caution Do not apply more than 2.4 quarts of Coyote per growing season. Do not apply Coyote to corn that is greater than 30 inches tall or corn that is larger than the 8-leaf stage of growth. Do not graze or feed corn forage from treated areas for 45 days following post-emergence application. Do not harvest corn for forage, grain, or stover within 45 days after a postemergence application of Coyote. Do not make post-emergence applications of Coyote in a tank mix with any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide, or severe corn injury may occur. Coyote applied post-emergence to corn that has received an at-planting application of Counter® or other organophosphate insecticide can result in severe corn injury. Environmental conditions that favor poor or slow corn growth will increase the risk or severity of the corn injury. Post-emergence corn applications of any organophosphate or carbamate insecticide within 7 days before or 7 days after a Coyote application can result in severe corn injury. Environmental conditions that favor poor or slow corn growth will increase the risk or severity of the corn injury. Consult label for complete crop rotation list.

simazine (Princep 4L)
Rate 2.0 lb ai/A (2 quarts/A Simazine 4L)
Time Apply as a single preemergence application on soils that are not highly erodible (consult label for details). Total simazine applied may not exceed 2.5 lb ai/A per calendar year.
Remarks If the soil is highly erodible and covered with <30% plant residues, apply a maximum of 1.6 lb ai/A as a single application. Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for corn is 60 days. For preemergence application must be made before weeds and corn emergence as specified on the label. Preplant application should be broadcast in the spring after plowing at the specified rate on the label depending on plant residue cover. Apply before, during, or after final seedbed preparation. If soil is tilled or worked after application, avoid deep incorporation. Best results will be obtained when simazine is applied within 2 weeks before planting. Under dry weather conditions, preplant applications may give better weed control that preemergence. If weeds develop, particularly under relatively dry conditions, a shallow cultivation will generally result in better weed control. Simazine may be tank mixed with other herbicides as specified on the label.
Caution Do not plant any crop except corn until the following year, or injury may occur. Following harvest, plow and thoroughly till the soil in fall or spring to minimize possible injury to spring-seeded rotational crops, regardless of the rate used. Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetable (including dry beans), spring seeded small grain, or small-seeded legumes and grasses the year following application, or injury may occur. Consult label for detailed information and other crop rotation restrictions.
