ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean 

high water mark. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from areas treated. Do not contaminate water 

when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinseate. Do not use the same spray equipment for other purposes 

unless thoroughly cleaned. 

 

Do not allow sprays to drift onto adjacent desirable plants. Drift or runoff may adversely affect non-target plants. 

GROUND WATER ADVISORY 

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of 

this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in 

ground water contamination. 

Amicarbazone and its major degradates are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain 

conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the 

water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. 

SURFACE WATER LABEL ADVISORIES 

This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff 

several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone 

to product runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which 

this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential 

for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications 

when rainfall is forecasted to occur with 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s 

contribution to surface water contamination.

product.

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of important annual broadleaf weeds in field corn 

and corn grown for silage. 

Amicarbazone DF is a selective, postemergence herbicide that may be used for the control of certain weeds in 

established turfgrasses. It also has preemergence activity on certain weed species at rates of 5.0 to 10.0 oz 

Amicarbazone DF/A. 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is formulated as a 70 % dry flowable (DF) herbicide. Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is 

for use in either conventional, conservation or no-tillage crop management systems and is for application to 

preplant surface, for preplant incorporation (mixed into the top 1 to 2 inch layer of soil), pre-emergence and postemergence. Amicarbazone DF Herbicide will provide its most effective weed control when applied and 

subsequently moved into the soil by rainfall, sprinkler irrigation or mechanical tillage prior to weed emergence. 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide’s mode of action is inhibition of photosynthesis at photosystem II. 

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide either alone, in tank mix combinations with, or sequentially prior to or after 

additional herbicides. When tank mixing, always observe all precautionary statements and limitations on labeling 

of all products. 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide can be appied using either water or sprayable grade fluid fertilizer as a liquid carrier, 

or by impregnating on dry bulk fertilizer. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

For resistance management, Amicarbazone DF is an Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) Group C1

Herbicide, a photosynthesis II inhibitor (Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) Group 5). Amicarbazone DF 

Herbicide is an actolactate synthase (ALS) inhibiting herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop 

plants naturally resistant to a herbicidal mode of action. Resistant biotypes can eventually dominate the weed 

population if herbicides with an identical mode of action are used repeatedly on the same site. If this happens, 

control of resistant biotypes will not occur unless a herbicide with a different mode of action is utilized. Whenever 

possible, tank mix or rotate the use of Amicarbazone DF with herbicides that have a different mode of action. 

Amicarbazone DF will not control triazine-resistant (atrazine, simazine, metribuzin) and diuron-resistant weeds. 

Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as 

enhanced metabolism, may also exist. The use of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide should conform to resistance 

management strategies established for the use area. Consult with your chemical dealer, consultant, extension 

turfgrass specialist or agricultural advisor for resistance management strategies for your area. 

Read the entire DIRECTIONS FOR USE before using Amicarbazone DF Herbicide

USE PRECAUTIONS FOR TURF 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF where annual bluegrass is maintained as a desirable turf.

 Use on turfgrass species other than those listed in the Cool-Season Turfgrasses and Warm-season 

Turfgrasses tables may result in unacceptable injury. 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF newly established (within six months) turfgrasses, unless otherwise 

directed on this label. 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF within 4 weeks of cutting or lifting of sod. 

 Do not replant any crop to treated areas other than turfgrasses for a period of 12 months after the last 

application. 

 Do not apply when turfgrasses are under stress (may weaken sod root systems if applied within 4 

weeks of cutting or lifting sod). 

 Allow at least 1 week between last application and overseeding with winter grasses. 

 Apply to actively-growing weed populations. 

CORN 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is intended for use on field corn or corn grown for silage. Do not use on popcorn, 

sweetcorn, high oil corn hybrids or corn grown for seed. 

Planting depth 

Corn seed should be planted a minimum of 1-1/2 inches deep and must be completely covered with soil or 

reduced crop stand or injury may occur. 

APPLICATION 

For use on medium and fine textured soil types only. 

Do not use Amicarbazone DF Herbicide on coarse-textured soils. 

Do not apply more than one application per season. 

Effect of variable soils on use rate 

The proper use rate of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is affected by several soil factors, including soil texture, 

organic matter and soil pH. Soils which contain variations in one or more of these factors in a given area are 

termed variable soils and may be more likely to incur localized corn injury symptoms from an application of 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide especially in those localized areas containing a more coarse soil texture, a lower 

organic matter and/or a higher pH (alkaline/calcareous) soil than other areas of the same field. The user is 

responsible for selecting the rate of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide that is appropriate for all soils in the area of 

application. 

Spray overlaps produce areas of overapplication which may increase the potential for crop damage.

Effect of adverse weather 

Following an application of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide extended periods of cool/cold, wet conditions (cool/cold 

daytime/nighttime temperatures, periods of high rainfall, etc.) during corn seed germination and/or early crop 

development period may result in temporary crop injury. 

In the event of crop failure 

If the corn crop treated with Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is lost, only corn may be replanted immediately. Do not 

apply more than 10.25 oz/A of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide per season.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

LIQUID CARRIERS

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide that must be mixed in water or sprayable fluid fertilizer. 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide can be directly added to water, or to 28-0-0 or 32-0-0 liquid fertilizers. Compatibility 

of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide with its labeled tank mix products in other liquid carriers should always be 

predetermined prior to spraying. Refer to the SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST of this 

label to determine product compatibility in fluid carriers. 

Before mixing Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and its labeled tank mixtures, examine the spray equipment, making 

sure it is completely free of rust and corrosion. Be sure the equipment is free of any residues from previously used 

pesticides. Flush the lines with clean water or recommended detergents after the last application. Use an 

approved method for disposing of rinsate. 

The proper mixing sequence for Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and recommended tank mixtures with the 

appropriate liquid carrier is as follows: 

1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier. 

2. Start the recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application. 

3. If the compatibility test indicates the need for a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount to the 

spray tank. 

4. If ammonium sulfate is to be used, add it now. 

5. Add the recommended quantity of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide to the spray tank. Slowly add 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide if water or sprayable grade nitrogen fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) are the 

carriers; for other sprayable grade fertilizers first check compatibility and then either mix directly or 

preslurry first in water depending on the results of the compatibility test. 

6. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products in water as the carrier, these may be 

added now. If tank-mixing these products in a sprayable grade fertilizer carrier, first preslurry these 

products with water and then slowly add them to the sprayable grade fertilizer carrier. 

7. If tank mixing with suspension concentrates, add the products to the spray tank. 

8. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank. 

9. If tank mixing witha glyphosate containing product, or other soluble concentrates, add the products to the 

spray tank. 

10. If mixing any additional spray adjuvants in the mixture, add them after all other products have been 

mixed. 

11. Fill the spray tank to the desired level with the appropriate liquid carrier. 

12. Continue agitation during transport and application until the spray tank is empty. 

 Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed out 

immediately. Do not allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. Water quality, pH, temperature and/or 

other components of the mixture affect how long the mixture may stand before application. 

DRY FERTILIZER CARRIERS 

Impregnate or coat Amicarbazone DF Herbicide on dry bulk fertilizers before application. 

Sprayer Cleanup

To avoid injury or exposure to non-target crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment, including 

pumps, nozzles, lines and screens with a good quality tank cleaner, on an approved rinse pad or on a field site 

where an approved crop is grown. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION 

SPRAYER APPLICATION

Ground Broadcast Treatment 

Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and 

the labeled tank mixtures in a minimum of 10 gal of total spray volume/A using broadcast boom equipment. 

Application must be made at a sufficient spray pressure and volume to provide accurate and uniform application 

of spray particles to a given area without causing spray drift to non-target areas. If mixed with other labeled 

herbicides, the spray volume may be no less than the minimum volume recommended by any tank mix product 

Page 6 of 21
used or 10 gal, whichever is greater. Use appropriately sized mesh screens and in-line strainers. Agitate 

thoroughly before and during application with either bypass or mechanical agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly 

with clean water immediately after each use. 

APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMINGS

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide either alone or in recommended tank mixtures in conventional, conservation or 

no-till crop management systems as a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, pre-emergence or post-emergence 

application. Do not apply when environmental conditions favor drift. 

Early post-emergence application may not be made if pre-emergence applications have been made in the spring. 

For season long broad spectrum weed control Amicarbazone DF Herbicide is recommended to be tank mixed or 

used in sequence with a grass herbicide. 

Preplant Surface 

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide alone or as a recommended tank mixture as a broadcast spray before planting 

corn. Amicarbazone DF Herbicide applications made greater than 15 days prior to planting require an appropriate 

sequential herbicide application to maintain commercially acceptable weed control throughout the season. If 

possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the soil surface during planting, since 

weed control may be reduced. 

Preplant Incorporation 

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide alone or in combination with recommended tank mixes as a broadcast spray 

and incorporate into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Avoid deep incorporation since reduced weed control 

and/or crop injury may result. Incorporate with implements which provide uniform, shallow incorporation 

(Example: finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, field cultivator, etc.) 

Preemergence 

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide alone or in recommended tank mixes to the soil surface during planting 

(behind the planter after furrow closure) or after planting of the crop but prior to weed or crop emergence. Ensure 

that the seed furrow is closed prior to herbicide application or crop injury may result. Rainfall and/or overhead 

sprinkler irrigation is necessary to move Amicarbazone DF Herbicide into the upper soil surface where weed 

seeds germinate. Dry weather conditions following application may reduce weed control. If adequate moisture is 

not received within 7 to 10 days after application and weeds begin to emerge from the soil, a light rotary hoeing or 

shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/2 inch deep) will improve performance. Excessive rainfall or irrigation 

after application may reduce weed control and / or increase crop damage. 

Early Post-emergence 

Tank-mix Amicarbazone DF Herbicide with various recommended herbicides to enhance control of broadleaf 

weeds when applied early post-emergence. Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide after emergence through the 10-

leaf collar stage (V10). Consult the tank-mix partner label for weeds controlled and maximum weed sizes at 

applications. Consult the tank-mix partner label for the appropriate crop stage and size at application; make the 

application within the most restrictive labeled timing between Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and any selected tankmix partner. (See Tank Mix and Sequential Herbicide Combinations section of this label.) 

Use of an adjuvant is recommended only when the tank-mixing partner requires its inclusion. When an adjuvant is 

to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association 

(CPDA) certified adjuvant. Do not use crop oil concentrate (COC), methylated seed oils (MSO), or any adjuvant 

containing vegetable or petroleum oils with Amicarbazone DF Herbicide post-emergence or crop injury may 

occur. The maximum seasonal rate for early post-emergence treatment is 0.25 lb ai/A. 

Special Applications 

Fall Application (for use only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, north of Route 20 in NE, north of Route 136 in IL, and north 

of Interstate 70 in OH): Following harvest of crops in the fall, Amicarbazone DF Herbicide may be soil applied into 

crop stubble after October 15, when the sustained soil temperature at the four-inch soil depth is less than 50o

 F, 

but before the ground is frozen. Apply at 5.0 to 10.25 oz/A. This application is limited to only medium- and finetextured soils and which will be planted to corn the following spring. Till the soil before or after application with 

incorporation depth no more than two inches following herbicide application. If a spring application of 

Page 7 of 21
Amicarbazone DF Herbicide follows the fall application, the total Amicarbazone DF Herbicide rate for both 

applications must not exceed 10.25 oz/A. 

Winter Weed Control (for use in KS, OK, TX) 

For control of winter weeds only. Following harvest of any previous crops in the fall, apply Amicarbazone DF 

Herbicide into crop stubble soil. Apply at 5.0 to 10.25 oz/A. Apply the maximum rate alone or in an approved tankmix combination labeled for similar use. Apply the lower rates in an approved tank-mix combination only. Make 

applications from November up to within 30 days of planting corn the following spring. If weeds are emerged at 

the time of application, refer to the following “Burndown” section of this label for instructions on appropriate 

adjuvants and tank-mix combinations for control of emerged weeds. 

Use normal weed control programs in the following corn crop. Till the soil before or after application with 

incorporation depth no more than two inches following herbicide application. If a spring application of 

Amicarbazone DF Herbicide follows the fall application, the total Amicarbazone DF Herbicide rate for both 

applications must not exceed 10.25 oz/A. Do not plant any crop other than corn or illegal residues may result. 

Preplant / Pre-emergence Burndown 

If weeds are present at the time of treatment, a tank-mixture of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide with crop oil 

concentrate or methylated seed oil is recommended for burndown control of labeled weeds less than 3 inches in 

height or diameter. If weeds are greater than 3 inches in height or diameter, or there are weeds present that are 

not controlled by Amicarbazone DF Herbicide, the addition of a nonselective herbicide such as Roundup®

, 

Gramoxone®

 Extra, TouchdownTM or other glyphosate-containing product is recommended. For additional 

broadleaf weed control of giant ragweed or other difficult-to-control species, add a recommended formulation of 

2,4-D and/or atrazine. Observe directions for use, precautions and restrictions on the labels of all products 

selected for a burndown tank-mixture. Burndown tank-mixtures containing atrazine will result in the burndown of 

labeled broadleaf weeds less than 6 inches in height.

POST-EMERGENCE BROADCAST APPLICATION 

Ground Application 

Apply broadcast applications with ground equipment only. For optimum weed control, apply when weeds are 

small and actively growing. Consult the tank mix partner label for weeds controlled and maximum weed sizes at 

application. Consult the tank-mix partner label for the appropriate crop stage and size at application, make the 

application within the most restrictive labeled timing between Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and any selected tankmix partner (see Tank Mix and Sequential Herbicide Combinations section of this label). 

Adjust nozzle height above crop and weed canopy to ensure uniform spray coverage. Increase carrier volume 

with increasing weed size and population density. For further precautions and additional instructions and 

recommendations, consult the tank mix Partner label. 

POST DIRECTED APPLICATION 

Tank-mix Amicarbazone DF Herbicide with various recommended herbicides to enhance control of broadleaf 

weeds when applied post directed to field corn. Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide through the 10-leaf collar 

stage (V10). Use drop nozzles and appropriate spacing to direct spray below the corn whorl and upper leaves. 

The top of the target weed canopy must be sufficiently below the whorl and upper leaves of the crop to permit 

adequate spray coverage. The height differential required between the crop and weed canopy will depend on the 

Page 10 of 21
specific equipment used. Consult the tank-mix partner label for weeds controlled and maximum weed sizes at 

application. Consult the tank-mix partner label for the appropriate crop stage and size at application. Make the 

application within the most restrictive labeled timing between Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and any selected tankmix parner (see Tank Mix and Sequential Herbicide Combinations section of this label). 

POST- EMERGENCE 

Application Timing

Use in combination with other broadleaf and/or grass and 

broadleaf post emergence herbicides at rates of the tank-mix

not use crop oil concentrate (COC), methylated seed oils (MSO), or any adjuvant containing 

vegetable or petroleum oils with Amicarbazone DF Herbicide post-emergence. When an adjuvant 

is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and 

Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

Special Precautions and Restrictions 

1. Do not make post-emergence applications using sprayable grade fluid fertilizers as the carrier because severe 

crop injury may occur. 

2. Do not apply when corn is under stress (see Stress statement section). 

Stress is any condition or combination of conditions, which impairs normal crop growth. Weather, disease, insect 

damage, fertility or other factors may cause stress. Applications made before or after the crop is under stress from 

these factors or from periods of prolonged cool, wet and cloudy weather, or widely fluctuating day and nighttime 

temperatures may result in temporary leaf burn, yellowing and/or stunting of the crop. Recovery from damage is 

generally rapid with no lasting effects on new growth. Under extreme stress, stand reductions may occur. 

Refer to the individual product labels for additional information concerning use rates, precautions and / or 

restrictions. 

TANK MIX AND SEQUENTIAL HERBICIDE COMBINATIONS 

Apply Amicarbazone DF Herbicide as a tank-mix or in sequence with additional herbicides to provide improved 

spectrum of weed control. Control of grassy weeds and additional control of certain hard-to-control broadleaf 

weeds such as morningglories, cocklebur and giant ragweed is provided with various tank mixtures, applied in 

either conventional, conservation or no-till crop management systems. Apply tank-mix partners with similar 

timings and methods as Amicarbazone DF Herbicide alone unless specifically prohibited in the tank-mix partner’s 

product label, or otherwise indicated on the Herbicide Recommended For Tank Mixture table. Three-way or 

multiple tank mixtures are permitted unless restricted by any tank-mix partner’s label. Refer to the individual 

product labels for recommended use rates (unless mentioned specifically on this label), precautions and 

restrictions. Do not tank-mix Amicarbazone DF Herbicide with SENCOR®

Page 13 of 21
Improper spray pattern overlaps produce areas of over-application and may increase the potential for turf 

damage. 

Mixing Instructions - Liquid Carriers 

Amicarbazone DF is a dry flowable formulation that must be mixed in water or sprayable liquid fertilizers. Liquid 

fertilizer may replace part or all of the water as carrier. The application of Amicarbazone DF using liquid fertilizer 

as the carrier may increase the herbicidal activity on certain weeds and decrease tolerance of desirable turfgrass 

species. This combination should be tested to determine safety of Amicarbazone DF and liquid fertilizer before 

treating large areas. 

The proper mixing sequence for Amicarbazone DF Herbicide and recommended tank mixtures with the 

appropriate liquid carrier is as follows: 

1. Fill the spray tank or nurse tank 1/4 full with the appropriate liquid carrier. 

2. Start the recirculation and agitation system and continue throughout mixing and application. 

3. If the compatibility test indicates the need for a compatibility agent, add the recommended amount to the 

spray tank. 

4. Add the recommended quantity of Amicarbazone DF Herbicide to the spray tank. 

5. If tank mixing with wettable powders or other dry flowable products in water as the carrier, these may be 

added now. 

6. If tank mixing with suspension concentrates, add the products to the spray tank. 

7. If tank mixing with emulsifiable concentrates or soluble products, add the products to the spray tank. 

8. If mixing any additional spray adjuvants in the mixture, add them after all other products have been 

mixed. 

9. Amicarbazone DF and all registered mixtures should be kept agitated once mixed and then sprayed out. 

10. Do not allow mixtures to stand for prolonged periods of time. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Arysta recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and 

Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant. 

Compatibility 

If Amicarbazone DF is to be tank-mixed with other herbicides, pesticides and liquid fertilizers not shown on this 

label, compatibility needs to be determined before mixing. A compatibility test can be conducted with the following 

method: 

1. In a small container (jar with lid), add 0.5 to 1.0 qt of the spray carrier. 

2. Add all ingredients of the tank-mix in the same ratio as the anticipated use into spray carrier. 

3. Vigorously shake the mixture and allow to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. 

4. Rapid precipitation, settling, changes in color, etc. and/or failure to resuspend indicates that the mixture is 

physically incompatible and should not be applied. 

5. If the mixture is physically compatible, the tank-mix should be tested to determine safety (no adverse 

turfgrass injury) before treating large areas. Observe treated areas for 2 to 3 weeks after application. If 

injury is not considered adverse, then the remaining turf area may be treated. 

Sprayer Equipment Clean-out 

After applying Amicarbazone DF the sprayer must be throughly cleaned with the following procedure: 

1. Drain the tank completely, then wash out tank, boom and hoses with clean water. 

2. Drain the tank again. 

3. Fill the tank half-full with water and add ammonia at a dilution rate of 1.0% v/v (i.e. one gallon household 

ammonia per 100 gal of rinsate). Completely fill tank with water. Operate the sprayer for 10 minutes to 

flush hoses, boom and nozzles. 

4. Drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush the hoses, boom and nozzles. 

Remove and clean spray tipes and screens separately. 

5. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in accordance with Federal, State and local 

guidelines. 

Do not drain or flush sprayer on or near desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water. 

Page 14 of 21
SPRAY APPLICATION 

Broadcast Treatment 

Accurately calibrate the sprayer prior to mixing the herbicide treatments. Apply Amicarbazone DF and the labeled 

tank mix partners in a minimum of 20 gal of total spray volume/A using broadcast boom equipment. Power 

sprayers equipped with a spray wand/gun may also be used for broadcast or spot application. Application must be 

made at a sufficient spray pressure and volume to provide accurate and uniform application of spray particles to a 

given area without causing spray drift to non-target areas. If mixed with other labeled herbicides, the spray 

volume may be no less than the minimum volume recommended by any tank mix product used or 20 gal, 

whichever is greater. Use appropriately sized mesh screens and in-line strainers. Agitate thoroughly before and 

during application with either bypass or mechanical agitation. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water 

immediately after each use. 

Spot Treatment 

Backpack and compression sprayers may be used for small turfgrass areas and spot treatments. Wands fitted 

with a flat fan nozzle tip should be held stationery at the proper height during application. A side-to-side or 

swinging arm motion may result in uneven spray coverage. 

APPLICATION METHODS AND TIMINGS 

Apply Amicarbazone DF postemergence to actively-growing broadleaf and grass weeds. A nonionic surfactant 

with at least 80% active ingredients should be added at 0.25% v/v (2.0 pt per 100 gal of spray mix) to the spray 

mix. 

Do not apply when environmental conditions favoring drift. 

Amicarbazone DF may be tank mixed with herbicides registered for use on turfgrass sites. See tank mix 

instructions listed under specific turfgrass species for more information.

TIMING AND RATES OF APPLICATION

Cool-Season Turfgrasses 

Annual bluegrass and broadleaf weed control in established creeping bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass, 

fine fescues, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass. 

Creeping Bentgrass-Putting Greens 

Creeping bentgrass (‘A1’, ‘A4’, G6, ‘L93’, ‘Crenshaw’ and ‘Penncross’) maintained at putting green clipping 

heights has demonstrated acceptable tolerance to Amicarbazone DF. Other creeping bentgrass cultivars may be 

tolerant; however, the end user is advised to do a tolerance test on a small area before spraying all the intended 

turfgrass areas. 

For annual bluegrass control, apply Amicarbazone DF in the spring months, two to four weeks after the 

resumption of active bentgrass growth, at 1.0 oz. Amicarbazone DF/A. Repeat the application at 7 day intervals 

for a maximum of up to 4 applications. Repeat applications should be made in a perpendicular direction to the 

previous application. 

 Apply amicarbazone at air temperatures ranging from 50 to 80° F. 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF to creeping bentgrass greens when the daytime air temperature is expected to 

exceed 80° F, or immediately before or after periods of higher air temperatures. 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF to creeping bentgrass greens in the summer or early fall months. 

 Do not apply Amicarbazone DF to creeping bentgrass greens exhibiting stress from adverse weather, pests, 

diseases, chemicals, mechanical injury or other related stress factors. 

Improper spray pattern overlaps produce areas of over-application and may increase the potential for turf 

damage. Additionally, all potential tank mixtures with fungicides, insecticides and other herbicides have not been 

evaluated and are not recommended by Arysta for use on putting greens. 

Amicarbazone DF is highly effective in controlling Poa annua. Applications to creeping bentgrass greens with high 

populations of Poa annua can result in a decrease of overall turf quality due to the elimination of Poa annua. 

Results from controlling Poa annua infestations may be mistaken as temporary injury to creeping bentgrass or by 

thinning of the turf. Creeping bentgrass will gradually fill in the resultant bare areas. Treated areas may be 

reseeded at 7 or more days after the last application of Amicarbazone DF. 

ARYSTA LIFESCIENCE NORTH AMERICA, LLC WARRANTY DISCLAIMER FOR USE OF AMICARBAZONE 

DF ON CREEPING BENTGRASS PUTTING GREENS. 

Amicarbazone DF can decrease overall putting green quality when used on creeping bentgrass putting greens 

with more than a 10% Poa annua infestation. Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC recommends that end users

Page 17 of 21
Kentucky Bluegrass, Fine Fescues, Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass 

For annual bluegrass control, Amicarbazone DF may be applied twice at 2.0 to 4.0 oz Amicarbazone DF/A at 14 

to 21 day intervals. 

Amicarbazone should not be applied to cool-season turfgrasses when the daytime air temperature is expected to 

exceed 85° F, or immediately before or after periods of high air temperatures. Application of Amicarbazone DF to 

cool season turfgrasses exhibiting stress from adverse weather, pests, diseases, chemicals, mechanical injury 

or other related stress factors may increase the potential for unacceptable injury. 

Perennial ryegrass and tall fescue may be seeded at 7 or more days after the last application of Amicarbazone 

DF. 

Amicarbazone DF may be tank-mixed with various recommended herbicides such as 2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba or 

two and three-way herbicides that contain mixtures of 2,4-D, MCPP, clopyralid, dicamba, fluroxypyr, or triclopyr to 

enhance control of emerged broadleaf weeds. 

Amicarbazone DF may also be tank-mixed with preemergence herbicides for residual control of crabgrass 

species and other summer annual weeds. 

Do not apply amicarbazone to perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, fine fescue or Kentucky bluegrass that has received 

an application of products that contain mefludide within the previous 3 months. 

Warm Season Turfgrasses 

Annual bluegrass and broadleaf weed control in established bahiagrass, bermudagrass, buffalograss, 

centipedegrass, kikuyugrass, seashore paspalum, St. Augustinegrass and zoysiagrass. 

Annual bluegrass and winter annual broadleaf weed control. 

Amicarbazone DF may be applied postemergence to tolerant warm-season turf at rates of 3.0 to 10.0 oz/A. 

Amicarbazone DF may be applied while warm-season turfgrasses are dormant or actively-growing. If practical, 

avoid applications during the early stages (less than 25% green-up) of spring transition. When using low rates or 

for difficult to control weeds, repeat applications at 3.0 to 5.0 oz/A can be made but the maximum rate per season 

must not exceed 10.0 oz of Amicarbazone DF/A. Repeat applications should be made 2 to 3 weeks after the initial 

application. 

Amicarbazone DF can be tank-mixed with labeled herbicides that contain contain metsulfuron, 2,4-D, dicamba or 

mixtures of 2,4-D, MCPP, clopyralid, dicamba, fluroxpyr, or triclopyr to enhance control of emerged broadleaf 

weeds. If sedge species are present on the site, Amicarbazone DF can be tank-mixed with herbicides labelded for 

control of sedges. Consult the tank-mix partner label for turfgrass species tolerance, weeds controlled and 

maximum weed sizes at applications. Follow the most restrictive labeled timing between Amicarbazone DF 

Herbicide and any tank-mix partner. 

Amicarbazone DF may also be tank-mixed with preemergence herbicides for residual control of crabgrass 

species and other summer annual weeds. 

Bermudagrass Tees and Fairways Fall-Overseeded with Perennial Ryegrass or Poa trivialis (Roughstalk 

Bluegrass) 

Amicarbazone DF may be applied at 5.0 to 10.0 oz/A one or more weeks before overseeding bermudagrass with 

either perennial ryegrass or Poa trivialis for control of emerged annual bluegrass. 

 

Page 18 of 21
AMICARBAZONE DF APPLIED TO SEEDLING OR ESTABLISHED POA TRIVALIS WILL RESULT IN 

SEVERE TURF INJURY. 

In early- to mid-spring months Amicarbazone DF at 2.0 to 4.0 oz/A may be used to control annual bluegrass and 

certain winter annual broadleaf weeds in bermudagrass overseeded the previous fall with perennial ryegrass. 

Make a second application two to three weeks after the first application. Delay the spring applications until 

perennial ryegrass is actively-growing and has recovered from winter-induced stress but no sooner than four 

months after seeding. Perennial ryegrass clipped at 0.5 to 0.75 inch has shown good tolerance to Amicarbazone 

DF at rates up to 4.0 oz/A. Temporary injury to perennial ryegrass may occur for 1 to 2 weeks after application. 

Amicarbazone should not be applied to perennial ryegrass when the daytime air temperature is expected to 

exceed 85° F, or immediately before or after periods of high air temperatures. Application of Amicarbazone DF to 

perennial ryegrass exhibiting stress from adverse weather, pests, diseases, chemicals, mechanical injury or 

other related stress factors may increase the potential for unacceptable injury. 

As there are numerous cultivars of perennial ryegrass as well as a wide range of clipping heights, end users are 

advised to determine perennial ryegrass tolerance on a small trial area on their site. Observe trial areas for two to 

three weeks after application. If injury is not considered adverse, then the remaining turf area may be treated. Do 

not apply Amicarbazone DF to emerged Poa trivialis unless the objective is suppress or remove it. 

Amicarbazone DF may be tank-mixed with various recommended herbicides such as 2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba or 

two and three-way herbicides that contain mixtures of 2,4-D, MCPP, clopyralid, dicamba, fluroxypyr, or triclopyr to 

enhance control of emerged broadleaf weeds. 

Amicarbazone DF may also be tank-mixed with preemergence herbicides for residual control of crabgrass 

species and other summer annual weeds. 

Do not apply Amicarbazone DF to perennial ryegrass that has received an application of products that contain 

mefludide within the previous 3 months unless severe injury and/or removal is acceptable. 

Crabgrass Species Control in St. Augustinegrass

Amicarbazone DF at 3.0 to 5.0 oz/A may be used for the control of emerged blanket crabgrass and other 

crabgrass species (with the exception of India crabgrass) in established St. Augustinegrass. Apply this rate on a 1 

to 3 week interval for up to three applications but do not exceed a maximum of 10.0 oz/A per year. St. 

Augustinegrass may be moderately injured by amicarbazone. Complete recovery will occur two to four weeks 

after the last application. 

Weed Control in Conifers in Nurseries and Field Plantings (including Christmas trees)

Amicarbazone DF can be used over-the-top or as a directed spray under the canopy in conifer nurseries and field 

plantings (including Christmas trees). Apply Amicarbazone DF at 4-10.0 oz/A to actively growing weeds listed 

above. Repeat applications may be made but do not exceed 10.0 oz/A per year.
