How to treat each type of area 9

Corn

Target pest	Location	Rate	Unit	Label notes
Preplant Annual and perennial broadleaf seedlings and existing cover crops	Outdoor	1 pint	pint	Planting of corn must be delayed a minimum of 7 days after application at rates from 1 to 2 pints per acre, or 14 days at rates from 1 to 2 pints per acre.
Preemergence Broadleaf and annual grasses	Outdoor	2.1	pints	Do not use on sandy soils or unacceptable crop injury may result.
Postemergence Annual broadleaf weeds	Outdoor	1/2	pint	Apply when corn is less than 8 inches tall, but avoid crop injury due to late defoliation. Sweet corn: minimize injury by following rate limits.
Perennial broadleaf weeds	Outdoor	3/4 to 1	pint	Apply when weeds are in bud stage. Sweet corn: follow specific rate limits.

Soybeans

Target pest	Location	Rate	Unit	Label notes
