INSTRUCTIONS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR
CROP DAMAGE. USUAL OR STANDARD SEEDING PRACTICES MAY NOT SUFFICE. READ ALL
DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING.
WARNINGS
Application
鈥? Do not apply Treflan E.C. to peat or muck soil, or soils which contain more than 15% organic matter.
鈥? Do not apply to fields spread with manure within the last 12 months. After this period, ensure the
manure has been thoroughly disintegrated and mixed into the soil to a depth of 10 to 15 cm.
鈥? If the swath or stubble is removed by burning, cultivate once to remove the charcoal layer from the soil
surface prior to Treflan E.C. application.
鈥? Application to soils subject to prolonged periods of flooding may result in accelerated herbicide
breakdown. Additionally, application to wet soils or soils in poor working condition could result in
reduced weed control. See Land Preparation section of this label for further precautions.
鈥? Do not apply to soils with less than 2% organic matter. Application to eroded knolls or grey-wooded
soils with highly variable texture or organic matter may result in reduced crop stand, delayed
development or reduced yields in either the treated crop or rotational crop.
鈥? Apply uniformly at the recommended rates. Over-application caused by overlapping, improper
calibration or uneven application may reduce crop stands in the treated crop or rotational crop.
鈥? DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
鈥? To avoid potential injury to future wheat rotational crops, growers should avoid applying trifluralin and/or
ethalfluralin on the same land at an oilseed/special crop/barley rate for two consecutive crops.
Crop Year
鈥? Applied and incorporated according to directions, Treflan E.C. will not harm the treated or rotational
crop. However, seedling disease, deep planting, excessive moisture, high salt concentration, soil
compaction or drought may weaken crop seedlings and increase the risk of injury, which may result in
delayed crop development or reduced yields.
鈥? To reduce the possibility of injury to the treated crop, use good quality certified seed. Seed shallow into
a warm, moist firm seedbed using recommended agronomic practices which will promote rapid and
even crop germination and emergence.
鈥?
page 5
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
鈥? Each crop has a specific seeding depth requirement, and seeding deeper than recommended can
increase the potential risk of damage to the seedling. Refer to industry or government extension
published documents which outline recommended seeding practices/depths for each crop.
鈥? CAUTION: Do not graze the treated immature crops or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data
available to support such use.
Rotational Crop
鈥? Applied and incorporated according to label directions, Treflan E.C. will not harm rotational crops.
However, seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high salt concentrations,
soil compaction or drought may weaken seedlings and increase the risk of injury, which may result in
delayed crop development or reduced yields.
鈥? As a precaution, oats, sugar beets and small-seeded grasses such as timothy, canaryseed grass and
creeping red fescue should not be grown in rotation following a crop treated with Treflan E.C.
鈥? The persistence of Treflan E.C. is influenced by soil moisture and the majority of breakdown occurs
during the growing season. If drought or extended dry periods were present in the previous year, higher
levels of Treflan E.C. may be present in the soil. To reduce the possibility of injury to rotational crops,
seed shallow into a warm moist seedbed using recommended agronomic practices and seeding depths.
As an additional safety precaution seeding rate may be increased slightly (10%).
鈥? Western Canada Only - Do not seed wheat as a rotational crop on land if trifluralin and/or ethalfluralin
has been used at an oilseed/special crop/barley rate for two consecutive crops.
鈥? Western Canada Only - Do not direct seed (zero till) a rotational crop into standing stubble on land that
has been treated with trifluralin or ethalfluralin for the previous crop. A cultivation prior to seeding of the
rotational crop is strongly recommended to help aerate the soil and promote seedbed conditions which
will enhance seed germination.
鈥? When seeding a rotational crop, use good quality certified seed. Seed shallow into a warm, moist firm
seedbed using recommended agronomic practices which will promote rapid and even crop germination
and emergence. Avoid deep seeding, loose seedbeds and seeding into cold soils.
鈥? Each crop has a specific seeding depth requirement and seeding deeper than recommended can
increase the potential risk of damage to the seedling. Refer to industry or government extension
published documents which outline recommended seeding practices/depths for each crop.
Weed Resistance
Populations of green foxtail tolerant to trifluralin have developed in a number of fields in Western Canada
with a long history of repeated trifluralin use. Trifluralin or ethalfluralin containing products (i.e., Advance*
10G, Treflan E.C., Heritage**, Triflurex1, Rival2, Fortress3 and Edge*) will not control trifluralin tolerant
green foxtail. To delay selection or reduce the spread of trifluralin tolerant green foxtail, avoid the use of
these products repeatedly in the same field or use a separate herbicide application for control of trifluralin
tolerant green foxtail. As a preventative measure, Dow AgroSciences strongly recommends rotating the
use of herbicides that have different modes of action. Consult provincial extension personnel for more
information.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Treflan E.C. is a preemergent herbicide which is mixed (incorporated) into the soil to provide long-lasting
control of many annual grasses and broadleaved weeds. Treflan E.C. controls susceptible weeds by
killing seedlings as they germinate. It does not control established weeds.
Land Preparation
Cultivate to destroy existing weeds and ensure that large clods are broken before Treflan E.C.
application. When applying to stubble fields, chop and thoroughly mix crop residues into soil to a depth of
10 cm. Disc type implements provide the best results. Swath windrows should be evenly spread before
page 6
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
cultivation to avoid strips of concentrated trash cover. Treflan E.C. should not be sprayed on a soil
surface with more than 25% trash cover. To avoid concentrating wild oat seeds below the treated layer,
do not plow (moldboard) land prior to Treflan E.C. application. If a swath has been removed by burning,
cultivate once to remove the charcoal layer prior to application of Treflan E.C.
Application
鈥? Add the recommended amount of Treflan E.C. to clean water in the spray tank during the filling
operation and agitate thoroughly. Apply with at least 100 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) using
any properly calibrated low-pressure herbicide sprayer that will apply the spray uniformly. Check the
sprayer daily to ensure proper calibration and uniform application over the field. Apply Treflan E.C. to
soil surface and incorporate in the same operation if possible. Ensure that large clods are broken.
鈥? Do not delay incorporation more than 24 hours after application. When applied as directed, Treflan E.C.
will not harm the treated crop or crops that follow in rotation; however, an over-application caused by
overlapping, letting the sprayer run in one spot, improper calibration, non-uniform application, etc., may
reduce stands of treated crops or crops that follow in rotation.
Incorporation
鈥? To incorporate, work Treflan E.C. into the soil in two different directions. Use a tandem disc, discer or
field (vibrashank type) cultivator set to work 8 to 10 cm deep for the first incorporation. A field cultivator
(vibrashank type) is defined as an implement with 3 or 4 rows of sweeps spaced at intervals of 20 cm or
less and staggered so that no soil is left unturned. The second incorporation should be a discing or
cultivation in a cross direction at the same depth any time prior to planting.
鈥? Operate disc implements 7 to 10 km/hr and cultivators at 10 to 13 km/hr. Failure to operate implements
at recommended speeds may result in erratic weed control due to poor distribution of Treflan E.C. in the
soil. (Deep tillage cultivator not recommended).
鈥? Treflan E.C. should not be incorporated with a field cultivator when the soil is crusted, lumpy or too wet
for good mixing action.
鈥? Disc type implements are preferred on stubble to ensure a 10 cm depth of operation.
鈥? Incorporation with implements set to cut less than 8 cm deep or more than 10 cm deep may result in
erratic weed control, crop damage or rotational crop damage.
鈥? Rod weeders, harrows, deep tillage cultivators, chisel plows or hoe drills will not properly incorporate

Treflan E.C. will not control trifluralin tolerant green foxtail. See specific recommendations in WARNINGS
section of the label under the subheading Weed Resistance.
NOTE: When used as directed, Treflan E.C. will provide commercially acceptable control of the above
weeds. Some wild oats and wild buckwheat may escape the herbicide action of Treflan E.C. but will be
retarded in growth and will provide little competition to the crop.
Spring Application
Treflan E.C. can be applied immediately prior to planting or up to three weeks before planting.
Summer Application
Treflan E.C. can be applied to summerfallow between June 1 and September 1 for weed control in canola
or flax the following year. Apply the summer rate and incorporate as above. Not recommended for sand
and sandy loam soils.
Treflan E.C. must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions.
The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. The second incorporation (and
subsequent incorporations) may be done whenever necessary to destroy resistant weed growth during
the remainder of the fallow season. Shallow tillage (5 to 8 cm) is necessary in the spring prior to planting
(refer to Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation).
Fall Application
Treflan E.C. can be applied in the fall between September 1 and prior to soil freeze-up for weed control
the following year. Apply fall rates and incorporate as above. The initial incorporation must be done within
24 hours after application. It is preferred to do both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm)
in the spring prior to planting. However, one incorporation may be done in the fall and the second in the
spring at the time of seedbed preparation, provided both operations are done at the recommended depth
(refer to Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation).
Spring Tillage for Seedbed Preparation
Spring tillage following summer or fall application of Treflan E.C. should be done prior to seeding when
the soil is warm enough to promote germination. Use a disc or field cultivator (vibrashank) set to cut at 5
to 8 cm deep. For optimum weed control in soils with heavy wild oat populations prework early in the
spring with a shallow cultivation to promote weed seed germination, followed by a 5 to 8 cm deep
cultivation prior to seeding to destroy existing green growth. Avoid transplanting weed seedlings; seed
into a weed-free seedbed using accepted cultural practices. Avoid excessive compaction of the soil layer
treated with Treflan E.C. Any operation that results in a more shallow or compacted treated layer may
allow weeds to emerge. This compaction may result from tractor wheel tracks, implement wheels, drill
press wheels or other field operations done after incorporation. Soils are more susceptible to compaction
when they are moist.
page 8
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLAX AND LENTILS
1. Both incorporations of Treflan E.C. must be done in the season of application prior to seeding flax in the
spring.
2. The seedbed should be shallowly tilled (5 to 8 cm) and packed just prior to seeding in the spring to
ensure a firm seedbed and accurate depth of planting.
3. Seeding should be done with a press drill or hoe drill. Seed into a moist seedbed no more than 4 cm
deep.
4. Do not seed flax early in May when soil conditions are cold. Seeding should generally not be prior to
May 15.
5. Refer to Warning statement regarding stresses that can lead to crop injury or yield reduction.

APPLICATION OF TREFLAN E.C. WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS
Treflan E.C. may be mixed with liquid nitrogen fertilizer (e.g., 28-0-0) for application either preplant soil
incorporated or postplant incorporated. Treflan E.C. may also be mixed with Avadex BW4 and liquid
fertilizer for postplant incorporated application in wheat or barley. All label recommendations of Treflan
E.C. regarding rates per hectare, approved crops, incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special
precautions must be followed.
Treflan E.C. should be poured directly into the liquid fertilizer, mixed thoroughly and applied as soon as
possible. Constant agitation is needed until application is complete. Apply the Treflan E.C./fertilizer
mixture with properly calibrated equipment suitable for liquid fertilizer application. Ensure that the material
is applied uniformly to the soil surface. Follow normal incorporation procedures for Treflan E.C.
Small quantities of liquid fertilizer and herbicide should be tested for compatibility prior to tank-mixing.
Use the compatibility test as follows:
1. Put 500 mL of liquid fertilizer into a 1 L jar.
2. Add 10 mL of Treflan E.C.
3. Close jar and shake well.
4. The herbicide and fertilizer are compatible if the herbicide remains in suspension after five minutes. If
the herbicide settles out quickly but goes into suspension easily upon shaking, the mixture may be used
provided constant agitation is utilized.
5. A compatibility test is also recommended when there is a change in fertilizer supplies, fertilizer
formulations and climatic temperatures.

TREFLAN E.C. IMPREGNATED/COATED ONTO DRY GRANULAR FERTILIZER
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with Treflan E.C. Application should be made as soon as
possible after blending. All Treflan E.C. label recommendations regarding rates per hectare, approved
crops, incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special precautions must be followed.
To obtain commercially acceptable weed control with Treflan E.C. impregnated on fertilizer, the following
minimum rates of fertilizer must be used:
Spring Application 330 kg/ha
Fall Application 250 kg/ha
Mix and blend dry fertilizer and Treflan E.C. in any commonly used dry fertilizer blender. Ensure that
uniform spray coverage is obtained. Sufficient blending/mixing time should be allowed to obtain uniform
coverage of dry fertilizer with Treflan E.C.
Spread the fertilizer/Treflan E.C. mixture with a properly calibrated granular fertilizer applicator. Be certain
the blended material is applied uniformly to the soil surface. The first incorporation should be completed
as soon as possible (within 24 hours) after fertilizer application. It is recommended to delay the second
incorporation for a period of at least six days to ensure optimum dissipation of Treflan E.C. within the
soil.
CAUTION: Any commonly used dry fertilizer can be used for the impregnation of Treflan E.C. except
ammonium nitrate. Use with nitrate fertilizers may cause explosion and fire.
NOTE: Compliance with the Fertilizer Act and Regulations (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) is the
responsibility of the individual/company selling the Treflan E.C./fertilizer mixture.

It is important to follow the correct sequence when mixing Treflan E.C. and Sencor in the spray
tank.
The following steps are essential when combining Treflan E.C. with Sencor:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While continuing to fill the spray tank and with the agitation and recirculating system operating, slowly
add the full amount of Sencor for that tankload.
3. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with clean water, while maintaining constant agitation of the
mixture.
4. After the full amount of Sencor is thoroughly mixed, add the calculated amount of Treflan E.C. to the
tank and agitate thoroughly.
5. To avoid any compatibility problems, spray immediately. Continuous agitation is required until the
mixture is sprayed out. Do not allow the sprayer to stand without agitation or settling will occur and
vigorous mixing with a paddle will be necessary to remix the chemical in the spray tank.
Use the Rinse, Drain and Disposal Procedure section instructions to ensure all contents are removed
from containers prior to disposal.
Spray Application
Apply the tank-mix of Treflan E.C. and Sencor to the soil surface and incorporate in the same operation, if
possible. Do not delay first incorporation more than 24 hours after application. Apply the tank-mix in at
least 100 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) using any properly calibrated low-pressure herbicide
sprayer that will apply the spray uniformly. Application may be made with any properly calibrated
commercial tractor-drawn or self-propelled field sprayer equipped with the following:
1. Nozzle tips no finer than 6502, 8002 or TK2 with nozzle screens no finer than 0.3 mm (50 mesh).
2. A 0.3 mm or larger line strainer(s) or screen.
3. A pump of sufficient capacity to provide adequate volume through the by-pass and/or jet agitation
system to provide a uniform spray mixture even while the booms are operating.
NOTE: Felt filters, small nozzle tips or smaller screens will become clogged.
Sprayer Clean-up
Spray equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to remove remaining traces of herbicide that might injure
other crops to be sprayed. Drain any remaining spray solution of Sencor and Treflan E.C. from the spray
tank and discard in non-crop areas away from water supplies. Rinse the spray tank and refill with water,
adding a heavy-duty detergent at the rate of 250 mL/100 L of water. Recycle this mixture through the
page 12
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
equipment for 5 minutes and spray out. Repeat this procedure twice. Fill the spray tank with clean water,
recycle for 5 minutes and spray out. Clean pump and nozzle screens thoroughly. Wash away any spray
mixture from the outside of the spray tank, nozzles or spray rig.
Incorporation
Refer to General Information for Oilseed and Special Crops.
NOTE: Treflan E.C. and Sencor can be applied in the fall prior to soil freeze-up for weed control the
following year. Apply fall rates and incorporate as above. The initial incorporation must be done within 24
hours after application. It is preferred to do both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm) in
the spring prior to planting. However, one incorporation may be done in the fall and the second in the
spring at the time of seedbed preparation, provided both operations are done at the recommended depth
(refer to Spring Tillage and Seedbed Preparation).
Spring Tillage and Seedbed Preparation
Spring tillage following fall application of Treflan E.C. and Sencor should be done when the soil is warm
enough to promote germination. Use a disc or vibrashank cultivator operated at 5 to 8 cm deep. Avoid
transplanting weed seedlings. Seed into a weed-free seedbed using accepted cultural practices.

NOTE:
1. On variable soils with light sandy areas, some injury may occur on the sandy areas if the rate used is
for the heavier soil type in the field.
2. Do not use on soils with less than 2% organic matter.
3. On soils with 10% organic matter and higher, broadleaved weed control may not be adequate.
4. Uneven application or improper soil incorporation of Treflan E.C. and Sencor may result in erratic weed
control or crop injury depending on rate used.
page 14
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
5. Stress conditions such as seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high salt
concentration or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from
Treflan E.C. and Sencor. Temporary lightening in colour may occur on the margins of cotyledons and a
slight delay in crop development may be observed. This is quickly outgrown and usually has no lasting
effect.
IMPORTANT: Rotation crops such as onions, celery, peppers, cole crops, lettuce and spinach, sugar
beets, table beets and turnips, pumpkin and squash, cucumbers and melons, tobacco and canola (non-
triazine tolerant) are sensitive to Sencor and may be injured if planted in soil treated with Sencor during
the year of application and following crop year. After harvest, tillage practices that provide thorough
mixing of the soil may be helpful in reducing the chance of injury to succeeding crops.
As a precaution, oats, sugar beets and small-seeded annual grasses such as timothy, canaryseed grass
and creeping red fescue should not be grown in rotation following a crop treated with Treflan E.C.
USE OF TREFLAN E.C. ON WHEAT AND BARLEY: POSTPLANT INCORPORATED (HARROWED IN

Weeds Controlled
wild millet (green鈾? and yellow foxtail)
鈾?
Treflan E.C. will not control trifluralin tolerant green foxtail. See specific recommendations in
WARNINGS section of the label under the subheading Weed Resistance.
Mode of Action
Treflan E.C. is applied and incorporated in the soil in the spring after planting and prior to the emergence
of the wheat and barley for the control of wild millet (green and yellow foxtail). Weed control is achieved
by establishing a shallow (2 cm), treated layer of Treflan E.C. near the soil surface. Within this layer,
Treflan E.C. controls weed seeds by killing them as they germinate. Generally, the majority of wild millet
seeds germinate from this depth. However, in some years due to climatic conditions, wild millet may
germinate from a deeper depth. Consequently, deep-seeded wild millet seeds germinating below the
Treflan E.C. layer may not be controlled. Crop safety is maintained since the wheat and barley seeds are
located in the untreated soil beneath the layer of Treflan E.C.
Land Preparation
Plant your wheat and barley as you normally do. Wheat and barley should be seeded to a depth of 5 to 8
cm in a well-tilled seedbed.

1. Add the recommended amount of Treflan E.C. to clean water in the spray tank during the filling
operation and agitate thoroughly. Apply at least 100 L/ha of water (broadcast basis) using any properly
calibrated low-pressure herbicide sprayer. Check the sprayer daily to ensure proper calibration and
uniform application.
2. Apply Treflan E.C. as soon as possible after seeding and before crop emerges.
3. Apply Treflan E.C. to soil surface which is free of trash or was fallowed the previous year. Treflan E.C.
should not be sprayed or incorporated when the soil is crusted, lumpy or too wet for good mixing action.
page 15
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
4. Application and the first incorporation should be done in the same operation if possible. Incorporate to a
shallow depth with diamond harrows or tyne harrows in two different directions at speeds of 8 to 11
km/hr. Both incorporations must be done within 24 hours of application of Treflan E.C. Uneven
incorporation may result in some wild millet escapes in the bottom of furrows left by the last row of the
harrows if the depth of the Treflan treated layer in these troughs is not sufficient to prevent emergence
of wild millet. To obtain a more uniform layer of treated soil, operate tyne harrows inclined at least 45
degrees backwards and harrow at a speed which minimizes the amount of soil ridging by the harrows.
CAUTION: Wheat or barley may be injured if seeded through a treated layer or into a deeply-incorporated
layer of Treflan E.C. Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, Treflan E.C.
will not adversely affect wheat or barley. Seedling disease, cold weather, improper seeding depth,
excessive moisture, high salt concentration or drought may weaken crop seedlings and increase the
possibility of damage from Treflan E.C. Under these conditions, delayed crop development or reduced
yields may result. This treatment of Treflan E.C. may not provide adequate control of weeds other than
wild millet (green foxtail and yellow foxtail).

鈥? Treflan E.C. should not be applied to turnips and mustard on sandy and sandy loam soils.
鈥? Direct-seeded cole crops have exhibited marginal tolerance to recommended rates of Treflan E.C.
Stunting or reduced stand may occur.
鈥? For strawberries, Treflan E.C. should be applied prior to planting transplants.
鈥? With ornamentals and established woody nursery stock, spray the soil and incorporate as closely as
possible to plants without causing damage to roots.
鈥? Treflan E.C. should not be applied on ornamental ground covers such as Ajuga, Myrtle and
Pachysandra, as injury may result.
鈥? Unless otherwise directed, use the general rates of Treflan E.C. Apply and incorporate immediately
prior to or up to 3 weeks before planting.
TREFLAN E.C. APPLICATION WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS
Treflan E.C. may be mixed with liquid nitrogen fertilizer (e.g., 28-0-0) for application preplant soil
incorporated. All Treflan E.C. label recommendations regarding rates per hectare, approved crops,
incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special precautions must be followed.
Treflan E.C. should be poured directly into the liquid fertilizer, mixed thoroughly and applied as soon as
possible. Constant agitation is needed until application is complete. Apply the Treflan E.C./fertilizer
mixture with a properly calibrated sprayer. Ensure that the material is applied uniformly to the soil surface.
Follow normal Treflan E.C. incorporation procedures.
Compatibility Test
Small quantities of liquid fertilizer and herbicide should be tested for compatibility prior to tank-mixing.
1. Put 500 mL of liquid fertilizer into a 1 L jar.
2. Add 10 mL of Treflan E.C.
3. Close jar and shake well.
4. The herbicide and fertilizer are compatible if the herbicide remains in suspension after five minutes. If
the herbicide settles out quickly but goes into suspension easily upon shaking, the mixture may be used
provided constant agitation is utilized.
5. A compatibility test is also recommended when there is a change in fertilizer supplies, fertilizer
formulations and climatic temperatures.

TREFLAN E.C. IMPREGNATED/COATED ONTO DRY GRANULAR FERTILIZER
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with Treflan E.C. Application should be made as soon as
possible after blending. All Treflan E.C. label recommendations regarding rates per hectare, approved
crops, incorporation, special instructions, cautions and special precautions must be followed.
A minimum of 300 kg/ha of dry bulk fertilizer impregnated/coated with Treflan E.C. at the recommended
rate must be applied. Mix and blend dry fertilizer and Treflan E.C. in any commonly used dry fertilizer
blender, providing uniform spray coverage is obtained. Sufficient blending/mixing time should be allowed
to ensure uniform coverage of dry fertilizer with Treflan E.C.
Spread the fertilizer/Treflan E.C. mixture with a properly calibrated granular fertilizer applicator. Be certain
the blended material is applied uniformly to the soil surface. The first incorporation should be completed
as soon as possible (within 24 hours) after fertilizer application. It is recommended to delay the second
incorporation for a period of at least three days to ensure optimum Treflan E.C. dissipation within the
soil.
CAUTION: Ammonium nitrate must not be impregnated with Treflan E.C. All other commonly used dry
fertilizers may be used for Treflan E.C. impregnation.
NOTE: Compliance with the Fertilizer Act and Regulations (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) is the
responsibility of the individual/company selling the Treflan E.C./fertilizer mixture.
TREFLAN E.C. FOR USE IN SOYBEANS
Treflan E.C. incorporated before planting soybeans will control most annual grasses and many
broadleaved weeds. To control more weeds, use Treflan E.C. in combination with the following:

鈥? Tank-mix combinations control all the weeds listed on the Treflan E.C. label plus many additional
broadleaved weeds including smartweed, velvetleaf, wild mustard and common ragweed.
鈥? Control of cocklebur may be erratic ranging from fair to excellent depending on soil temperature, time of
weed germination, depth of weed seed in the soil and the amount and timing of soil moisture.
Cultivation may improve control.
鈥? Tank-mixes of Treflan E.C. and Sencor/Lexone may be applied up to 10 days before planting.
鈥? Do not use on light soils with less than 2% organic matter.
鈥? Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, tank-mixed Treflan and
Sencor/Lexone will not reduce soybean yields.
鈥? However, Sencor/Lexone alone has limited crop tolerance and initial crop injury may occur under
certain conditions.
鈥? Over-application may result in stunting, crop injury or soil residue.
page 22
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
鈥? Uneven application or improper soil incorporation of the tank-mix can result in erratic weed control or
crop injury depending on rate used.
鈥? Seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high soil pH (above 7.5), high salt
concentration or drought may weaken soybean seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from
Treflan E.C. and Sencor/Lexone. Under these conditions, delayed crop development or reduced yields
may result.
鈥? On variable soils with light sandy areas, some injury may occur on sandy areas if the rate used is for
the heavier soil type in the field. Sandy loam and silty clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be
classified as medium textured soils in some regions.
鈥? Do not plant metribuzin-sensitive soybean varieties Ace, Apache, Baron, Maple Amber, Maple Ridge,
OAC Eramosa, IA 1003, S-240 or Nottawa on areas treated with Sencor/Lexone as unacceptable injury
may result.
鈥? Refer to the Sencor and Lexone labels for directions on use and special precautions. Do not use foliage
from soybeans treated with the combination for forage.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE CORRECT SEQUENCE WHEN MIXING TREFLAN E.C. AND
SENCOR/LEXONE IN THE SPRAY TANK. THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE ESSENTIAL:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While continuing to fill the spray tank and with the agitation and recirculating system operating, slowly
add the full amount of Sencor/Lexone for that tankload.
3. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with clean water, while maintaining constant agitation of the
mixture.
4. After the full amount of Sencor/Lexone is thoroughly mixed, add the calculated amount of Treflan E.C.
to the tank and agitate thoroughly.
5. Continuous agitation is required until the mixture is sprayed out. Do not allow the sprayer to stand
without agitation or settling will occur and vigorous mixing with a paddle will be necessary to remix the
chemical in the spray tank.
Variations in this mixing sequence may lead to incompatibilities.

TREFLAN E.C. FOR USE ON FALL CEREALS GROWN IN ROTATION WITH FLUE-CURED
TOBACCO TO CONTROL LOOSE SILKY BENTGRASS
POSTPLANT INCORPORATED (HARROWED IN AFTER SEEDING)
Crops Registered
winter wheat
fall rye
fall triticale
Treflan E.C. is applied and incorporated in the soil in the fall as soon as possible after planting and prior
to the emergence of the fall cereal for the control of loose silky bentgrass. Weed control is achieved by
establishing a shallow (2 cm) layer of Treflan E.C. near the soil surface. Within this layer, Treflan E.C.
controls loose silky bentgrass by stopping growth as the seeds germinate. Crop safety is maintained
since the fall cereal seeds are located in the untreated soil beneath the Treflan E.C. layer.
page 26
Treflan E.C. E 23933 Jul04f SPECIMEN
Application and Incorporation
Fall cereals should be seeded to a depth of 5 to 8 cm in a well-tilled seedbed. Apply Treflan E.C. at a rate
of 0.8 to 1.2 L/ha product in a minimum of 100 L/ha water with a properly calibrated herbicide sprayer.
Use the 1.2 L/ha rate for heavy infestations of loose silky bentgrass. Apply Treflan E.C. as soon as
possible after seeding and before crop emerges, to soil surface which is free of trash. Incorporate to a
shallow depth with diamond harrows or tyne harrows in two different directions at speeds of at least 8
km/hr. Both incorporations must be done within 24 hours of application.
TREFLAN E.C. USE FOR FIRST YEAR APPLE, APRICOT, CHERRY, PEACH, PLUM AND PEAR
TREES
Treflan E.C. applied and incorporated before transplanting fruit trees will control most annual grasses and
many broadleaved weeds. For the control of additional weeds, Treflan E.C. may be tank-mixed with
Sencor. Do not apply more than one application per year.

Mixing Sequence
It is important to follow the correct sequence when mixing Treflan E.C., Sencor and Dual in the
spray tank.
The following steps are essential when combining Treflan E.C. with Sencor and Dual:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. While continuing to fill the spray tank and with the agitation and recirculating system operating, slowly
add the full amount of Sencor for that tankload.
3. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with clean water, while maintaining constant agitation of the
mixture.
4. After the full amount of Sencor is thoroughly mixed, add the calculated amount of Treflan E.C. to the
tank and agitate thoroughly.
5. Add the calculated amount of Dual to the tank and agitate thoroughly.
6. To avoid any compatibility problems, spray immediately. Continuous agitation is required until the
mixture is sprayed out. Do not allow the sprayer to stand without agitation or settling will occur and
vigorous mixing with a paddle will be necessary to remix the chemical in the spray tank.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, Treflan E.C. is a Group 3 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or
develop plants naturally resistant to Treflan E.C. and other Group 3 herbicides. The resistant biotypes
may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other
resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as
enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be
followed.
To delay herbicide resistance:
鈥? Where possible, rotate the use of Treflan E.C. or other Group 3 herbicides with different herbicide
groups that control the same weeds in a field.
鈥? Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group when such use is permitted.
鈥? Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural,
biological and other chemical control practices.
鈥? Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development.
鈥? Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage
equipment and planting clean seed.
鈥? Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops
and weed biotypes.
鈥? For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at
1-800-667-3852 or at www.dowagro.ca.
