Start Clean. Start with a clean, weed-free field by using an effective burndown application or conventional tillage. 2. Stay Clean. Be aggressive with early season weed management to avoid yield loss and weed escapes.

Post corn emergence Liberty at 22 fl oz/Aplus residual herbicide

If needed, Liberty at 22 fl oz/A or, if sequential applications planned, apply 10 days after fi rst application

1. Start Clean. Start with a clean, weed-free fi eld by using an effective burndown application or conventional tillage.

2. Stay Clean. Be aggressive with early season weed management to avoid yield loss and weed escapes. Residual herbicides applied at burndown, pre-emergence and/or tankmixed in the fi rst post application help ensure optimal weed management, particularly if environmental conditions delay timely post applications. Consider expected weed species and populations as well as environmental variables when selecting a residual herbicide.

4. Additives: Ammonium sulfate (AMS) can be used at a rate of 1.5 lb/A to 3 lb/A.

5. Maximum Seasonal Use Rate: 44 fl oz/A per growing season.

6. Additional Use Directions:a. Can be applied broadcast to LibertyLink corn from emergence to V7 growth stage (seven fully developed leaf collars).b. Should be applied when winds are less than 10 mph, and not during periods of temperature inversions.c.

• Nozzle recommendations:

- Spraying Systems: TeeJet® VisiFlo® Flat, XR TeeJet Extended Range Flat or Turbo TwinJet® Flat spray tips

- Greenleaf Technologies: TurboDrop® XL, TurboDrop TwinFan® or AirMix® spray tips

- Hypro: Guardian™, Variable Pressure™, Total Range™ or Albuz® AXI spray tips

- Delavan AgSpray: VariTarget™

Refer to nozzle manufacturers’ catalogs, tech sheets or websites for additional guidance.

• Apply Liberty at 15 GPA of water; increase water if dense weed canopy exists.
