SPECIFIC USES – SOYBEANS
T
iming to Crop Stage
Timing to Weeds
• Apply CLASSIC® when weeds are young and actively
growing (after the first true leaves have expanded, but
before the weeds exceed the size indicated below).
• Applications made to weeds larger than the sizes
indicated below, or to weeds under stress may result in
unsatisfactory control (see the “Environmental Conditions
and Biological Activity” section).
Cultivation
Do not cultivate within 7 days of application. Cultivation
may put weeds under stress by pruning roots, thus
diminishing control.
Cultivation approximately 14 days after application will
help control suppressed weeds.
Rate
When applied as directed, CLASSIC® will control the
following weeds:
