Liberty Corn Herbicide - 2012 Product Guide
1. Herbicide Recommendations for LibertyLinkCorn
Weed Control Program
1st Post Application
(Emergence to 10 days or
when weeds are no more
than 3 to 4 inches)
2nd Post Application
Post corn emergence Liberty at 22 fl oz/A
plus residual herbicide
If needed, Liberty at
22 fl oz/A or, if sequential
applications planned,
apply 10 days after
first application
1. 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. Residual herbicides applied at burndown, pre-emergence
and/or tankmixed in the first 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. Do not apply within 60 days of harvesting corn forage or 70 days of
harvesting corn grain and corn fodder.
d. Consult product label for full use directions, tankmix partners and restrictions.
