DE LAY -SCHEDULE INFORMATION 



After applying some herbicides on corn, you'll have to wait awhile before the crop 

 can be cut for silage. Here's a rundown: 



AAtrex --OK for silage corn. AAtrex can also be used for grain and forage sorghum and 

 sorghum-sudan hybrids. Do not graze treated areas or feed treated forage to livestock 

 for 21 days after application. 



Ramrod - -OK for silage corn. Do not graze or feed sorghum (milo) forage or silage from 

 treated fields to dairy animals. 



Ramrod/atrazine mixture - -same as for Ramrod. 



Lasso - -Wait 12 weeks after treatment before harvesting immature corn forage or feeding 

 it to cattle. 



Randox-T --OK for silage corn. (Silage com not listed on Randox label.) 



Sutan --OK for silage corn. 



Knoxweed --OK for silage corn. 



Londax - -Restriction for nonuse on silage corn has apparently been lifted. 



There are inconsistencies between labels that may be difficult to interpret. Some 

 labels specifically state the corn types on which a herbicide may be used- -such as 

 hybrid seed corn, field corn, sweet corn, silage corn, and popcorn. Other labels 

 are vague, and may simply say that "corn" or "field corn" includes a broader classi- 

 fication. Read the fine print carefully for possible restrictions and limitations. 



CAUTION: BEFORE USING PESTICIDES, READ AND HEED THE LABEL.
