Herbicides
Registered Tank Mixes
Accent (13.5 g/acre) + Banvel II (0.24 L/acre) + 0.2% v/v non-ionic surfactant (Citowett Plus, Agral 90 or Ag-Surf).

Application Information
How to Apply:
Ground applications only.
Do not apply by air.
Water Volume:
40
L per acre.
Application Tips
Warm, moist conditions following application promote the activity of Accent, while cool and/or dry conditions
may reduce or delay activity. Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under
stress from abnormally hot or cold weather, environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail
damage or frost, disease, insect or nematode injury and prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year’s herbicide
application. Delay application until stress passes and both weeds and corn resume growth. If corn has been injured by
frost, wait 48-72 hours before applying Accent. Severe stress conditions immediately following application may also
result in crop injury or poor weed control. Do not apply a foliar organophosphorus insecticide within 7 days before or
after applying Accent.
How it Works
Accent is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by the foliage and translocated to the growing points of the plant.
Growth of susceptible plants stops shortly after application. Accent rapidly stops the growth of susceptible species;
typical symptoms usually appear within 5 - 7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application,
depending on the prevailing growing conditions.
Expected Results
Typical injury symptoms include yellowing, purpling and reddening of the newest leaves and usually appear within
5 - 7
days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application, depending upon the prevailing growing
conditions. Eventually the entire plant discolours and dies.
Restrictions
Rainfall:
A rain-free period of 2 - 4 hrs is needed after application.
Grazing:
Do not graze treated crops or cut for hay.
Pre-harvest Interval
:
Do not harvest field corn until 30 days and sweet corn for 40 days after application.
Re-cropping Restrictions:
Winter wheat may be seeded 4 months after application. Barley, corn, spring wheat,
canola, soybean, sorghum, white beans, red clover and alfalfa may be seeded 10 months after application. For all
other crops a field bioassay is recommended before planting. For all other crops including sugarbeets, a field bioassay
is recommended before planting. Do not plant sugarbeet until a field bioassay indicates it is safe to do so.
Environmental Precautions
Accent is toxic to terrestrial plants and aquatic organisms. Leave a buffer zone of at least 2 m between the downwind
point of direct application and the closest edge of sensitive terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Toxicity
Low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD
50
(
rats) = >5,000 mg/kg.
Storage
Store in a dry place. Keep water-soluble bags in original outer container or bag away from moisture.
