PRODUCT INFORMATION 

SYN-A16003 is a systemic preemergence and postemergence herbicide for the 

selective contact and residual control of broadleaf weeds in field corn, seed corn, silage 

corn, yellow popcorn and sweet corn. When used preemergence, weeds take up the 

product through the soil during emergence. Dry conditions following application may 

reduce the preemergence activity of SYN-A16003. If an activating rain (0.25 inches) is 

not received within 7-10 days after a preemergence application, where appropriate, 

rotary hoeing is suggested to activate the herbicide. When used postemergence, 

susceptible weeds take up the herbicide through the treated foliage and cease growth 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 7 

soon after application. Complete death of the weeds may take up to 2 weeks. The 

product is absorbed through the soil and/or by the foliage of emerged weeds. 

SYN-A16003 can also be used in combination with a burndown herbicide, prior to 

planting, to provide added burndown and residual weed control in field corn, seed corn, 

silage corn, yellow popcorn, and sweet corn. 

SYN-A16003 USE PRECAUTIONS 

x Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if SYN-A16003 is applied 

postemergence to corn that was treated with Counter® or Lorsban®. 

x Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if SYN-A16003 is applied foliar 

postemergence to corn in a tank mix with any organophosphate or carbamate 

insecticide.

x Severe corn injury resulting in yield loss may occur if any organophosphate or 

carbamate insecticide is applied foliar postemergence within 7 days before or 7 days 

after SYN-A16003 application. 

x Cultivation of corn within 7 days before or after a SYN-A16003 application may 

reduce weed control. 

SYN-A16003 USE RESTRICTIONS 

x Do not apply more than a total of 3.4 fl oz (0.045 lb bicyclopyrone active ingredient) 

of SYN-A16003 per acre per year. 

x Do not make more than 1 postemergence application and not more than 2 total 

applications of SYN-A16003 per year. Do not make the second application of SYNA16003 within 14 days of the first application. 

x Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system 

x Do not use aerial application to apply SYN-A16003

x Do not apply SYN-A16003 to white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn. 

x Do not apply SYN-A16003 postemergence in a tank mix with emulsifiable 

concentrate grass herbicides, unless specifically addressed under one of the tank 

mix sections of this label, or injury may occur. 

x Do not apply postemergence with suspension fertilizers as the carrier. 

x Do not feed or harvest forage or sweet corn ears within 45 days after application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

SYN-A16003 is a Group 27 Herbicide (contains the active ingredient bicyclopyrone). 

Naturally occurring biotypes of certain weed species with resistance to triazines, ALS, 

PPO, Glycine (glyphosate) and HPPD herbicides are known to exist. If biotypes of 

weeds resistant to triazines, ALS, PPO and glycine inhibitors are present in the field, 

this herbicide should control them if they are listed in Tables 1 and 2.

To reduce the risk of weeds developing resistance to HPPD inhibitors, implement a 

program including both preemergence and/or postemergence herbicides that provide 

effective control of all weeds using multiple modes of action. This includes scouting 

fields before application to ensure the herbicide will be appropriate for the weeds 

present. Scout fields and eliminate weed escapes. If suspected weed resistance is 

observed against a particular weed species contact your Syngenta or retailer 

representative or call Syngenta Customer Service (1-800-334-9481). Lack of weed 

control is not necessarily an indicator of weed resistance. 

Consider weed resistance management strategies that includes two or more modes of 

action where a minimum of two modes of action are effective at controlling the target 

weed when either are applied alone.

Read and follow all label directions. 

INTEGRATED PEST (WEED) MANAGEMENT 

SYN-A16003 should be integrated into an overall weed and pest management strategy 

whenever the use of a herbicide is required. Practices known to reduce weed 

development (tillage, crop competition) and herbicide use (weed scouting, proper 

application timing, banding) should be followed wherever possible. Consult local 

agricultural and weed authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION 

PREEMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION 

Apply SYN-A16003 preemergence with a carrier volume of 10-60 gal/A. 

Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced; the same size and type, and must provide 

accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse 

droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Apply in a spray volume of 10-60 

gal/A using water or liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) as the carrier. Use 

a pump that can maintain the manufacturer’s recommended pressure at the nozzles 

and provide proper agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower 

pressures may be used with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 9 

Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped 

for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend 

the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. 

POSTEMERGENCE GROUND APPLICATION 

Spray nozzles must be uniformly spaced; the same size and type, and must provide 

accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that provide medium to coarse 

droplet size to provide good coverage and avoid drift. Good weed coverage is essential 

for optimum weed control. Boom height for broadcast over-the-top applications must be 

based on the height of the crop – at least 15 inches above the crop canopy. 

Apply in a spray volume of 10-30 gal/A using water as a carrier. Use a pump that can 

maintain the manufacturer’s recommended pressure at the nozzles and provide proper 

agitation within the tank to keep the product dispersed. Lower pressures may be used 

with extended range or drift reduction nozzles. When weed foliage is dense, use a 

minimum of 20 gal. 

Flat fan nozzles of 80q or 110q are recommended for optimum postemergence 

coverage. Do not use floodjet nozzles or controlled droplet application equipment for 

postemergence applications. 

Nozzles may be angled forward 45q to enhance penetration of the crop and provide 

better coverage. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer are 

50-mesh or coarser. 

Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped 

for brief periods of time. If the agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, resuspend 

the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. 

Cleaning Equipment after SYN-A16003 Application 

Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than 

corn. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. 

1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. 

2. Prepare a cleaning solution of 1 gal of household ammonia per 25 gal of water.

Many commercial spray tank cleaners may be used. 

3. Use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution.

Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a 

pressure washer is not available, completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning 

solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the 

tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 10 

cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed 

from the spraying system. 

4. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning 

solution. 

5. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner. 

6. Repeat steps 2-5. 

7. Remove nozzles, screens, and strainers and clean separately in the ammonia 

solution after completing the above procedures. 

8. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water. 

Aerial Prohibition 

Do not apply by air. 

SPRAY DRIFT 

Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift to nontarget areas. Drift may 

result in injury to adjacent crops and vegetation. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply 

when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions.

AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF 

THE APPLICATOR. 

The interaction of equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for 

spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making 

a decision. 

Information on Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce spray drift potential is to apply large droplets. Use 

only nozzles producing medium to coarse droplets. A combination of spray nozzles and 

appropriate pressure must be selected to provide ASABE standard S572.1 droplet size 

category of medium (DV0.5 of > 255 microns) or coarser than medium. Do not use 

nozzles producing fine droplets. 

Controlling Droplet Size 

x Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.

Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 11 

x Pressure – Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For 

many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow 

rates are needed, use higher rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 

x Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform 

coverage.

Non-Target Areas 

Do not apply this pesticide when the product may drift to non-target areas.(i.e. 

residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, 

non-target crops). 

Application Height 

Applications must be made at the lowest height above the target area that still provides 

uniform coverage of the target. Making applications at the lowest yet effective height 

reduces exposure of droplets to wind. 

Wind

Drift potential is lowest when wind speeds are 10 mph or less. However, many factors, 

including droplet size, pressure, and equipment type determine drift potential at any 

given wind speed. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. 

Leave a 25 foot buffer downwind of the application to avoid drift to non-target areas. 

Temperature Inversions 

Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is 

high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended 

droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable 

directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature 

inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common 

on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun 

sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground 

fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of 

smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and 

moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an 

inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates, indicates good 

vertical air mixing.

SPRAY ADDITIVES 

POSTEMERGENCE ADJUVANTS 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the 

standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant 

certification program is recommended. 

POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO CORN (FIELD, SEED OR SILAGE) 

For postemergence applications made after the crop has emerged, add crop oil 

concentrate (COC) to the spray solution at the rate of 1.0 gal/100 gal of water (1.0% 

v/v). The use of a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25% v/v) 

instead of COC is allowed, but the weed control achieved with COC is consistently 

better than NIS. The use of methylated seed oil (MSO) adjuvants or MSO blend 

adjuvants for postemergence applications of SYN-A16003 may cause severe crop 

injury to occur. Do not use MSO adjuvants for postemergence use unless 

directed for a specific tank mix under the SYN-A16003 TANK MIXTURES FOR 

CORN section of this label, or unless permitted by a supplemental SYN-A16003 

label. In addition to COC, always add spray grade UAN (e.g., 28-0-0) to the spray 

solution at a rate of 2.5% (v/v) or AMS at 8.5 lb/100 gal of spray solution, except if 

precluded elsewhere on this label or by a supplemental SYN-A16003 label. 

POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS TO YELLOW POPCORN AND SWEET CORN 

Do not add UAN or AMS when making postemergence applications of SYNA16003 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn, or severe crop injury may occur. 

For postemergence applications to yellow popcorn and sweet corn, the use of a 

nonionic surfactant (NIS) instead of a crop oil concentrate (COC) is recommended, so 

as to minimize the risk of crop injury. A COC may be used, and will increase the level of 

weed control achieved, especially under dry growing conditions, but the risk of crop 

injury is increased significantly under lush growing conditions. For optimum control, the 

addition of atrazine is recommended wherever rotational or local atrazine restrictions 

allow. 

PREEMERGENCE ADJUVANTS 

For SYN-A16003 preplant or preemergence applications, and where weeds are present, 

the use of any adjuvant for agricultural use is permitted. In these situations, MSO type 

adjuvants are typically better than COC type adjuvants, which are typically better than 

NIS type adjuvants for enhancing weed control. UAN or AMS can be added and 

typically provides better weed control than not adding one of these. If SYN-A16003 is 

being tank mixed with another registered herbicide in this situation, refer to the tank mix 

partner label for adjuvant precautions and restrictions. 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 13 

MIXING PROCEDURES 

Refer to the Use Directions section of this label for recommended tank mixes. 

Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions 

which may differ from those outlined here. Use in accordance with the most restrictive 

of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. This 

product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such 

mixing. Do not tank mix SYN-A16003 with any other insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer 

solution, or adjuvant not recommended on the label without testing compatibility, as 

poor mixing may result. It is recommended that the compatibility of any tank mix 

combination be tested on a small scale such as a jar test before actual tank mixing. 

Follow the mixing instructions for adding SYN-A16003 to the spray tank: 

1. Only use sprayers in good running condition with good agitation. Ensure the 

sprayer is cleaned according to instructions on label of the product used prior to 

SYN-A16003. For postemergence applications, use only clean water for the 

spray solution. Ensure that all in-line strainer and nozzle screens in the sprayer 

are 50-mesh or coarser. Screens finer than 50-mesh should not be used. 

2. Liquid fertilizer (excluding suspension fertilizers) may be used as the carrier for 

preemergence applications. 

3. Begin to fill sprayer tank or premix tank with clean water and engage agitator. 

Agitation must be continued throughout the entire mixing and spraying 

procedure.

4. When the sprayer or premix tank is half full of water, add AMS and agitate until 

completely dispersed. 

5. Next add SYN-A16003 slowly and agitate until completely dissolved. Wait at 

least 1 minute after the last of the SYN-A16003 has been added to the tank to 

allow for complete dispersion. A longer agitation period may be required to 

disperse SYN-A16003 when using cold water from sources such as deep drilled 

wells.

6. If tank mixing, add the tank mix product next. 

7. Finally, add adjuvant and UAN, if needed, and then continue to fill tank to desired 

level with water. 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 14 

WEEDS CONTROLLED 

SYN-A16003 applied as directed in this label will control or partially control the weeds 

listed in Tables 1 and 2. 

Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean 

erratic control (good to poor) or consistent control at a level below that generally 

considered acceptable for commercial weed control. 

Apply SYN-A16003 before weeds exceed 4 inches in height. Under certain situations 

weeds can be controlled at larger than listed sizes, however to protect crop yield, 

manage weed resistance and provide consistent control, treat weeds before they 

exceed 4 inches in height. 

For best postemergence results, apply SYN-A16003 to actively growing weeds. Dry 

weather following preemergence application of SYN-A16003 may reduce residual weed 

control effectiveness. If irrigation is available, apply 1⁄2 to 1 inch of water after 

preemergence application. If irrigation is not available, a uniform shallow cultivation is 

recommended as soon as weeds emerge. 

SYN-A16003 applied alone or in mixture with atrazine will not provide consistent or

USE DIRECTIONS 

SYN-A16003 may be applied by ground for preemergence or postemergence weed 

control in field corn, seed corn, silage corn, yellow popcorn, and sweet corn. 

Refer to seed company recommendations for use on seed corn inbred lines. Special 

adjuvant restrictions must be followed for postemergence applications of SYN-A16003 

in yellow popcorn or sweet corn (see the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of this label). Do 

not apply SYN-A16003 to white popcorn or ornamental (Indian) corn. 

Postemergence applications (after crop emergence) of SYN-A16003 may cause crop 

bleaching in some yellow popcorn and sweet corn hybrids. Crop bleaching is typically 

transitory and has no effect on final yield or quality. However, herbicide sensitivity in 

yellow popcorn and sweet corn varies widely, and all yellow popcorn and sweet corn 

hybrids have not been tested. Contact your popcorn or sweet corn company, Fieldman, 

or University Specialist about hybrid recommendations before making a postemergence 

application of SYN-A16003 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn. Do not include nitrogen 

based adjuvants (UAN or AMS) when making postemergence applications of SYNA16003 to yellow popcorn or sweet corn. 

Temporary crop response (transient bleaching) from postemergence applications to 

corn may occur under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffering from 

stress. Corn quickly outgrows these effects and develops normally. 

Do not apply more than a total of 3.4 fl. oz. (0.045 lb bicyclopyrone active ingredient) of 

SYN-A16003 per acre per year. Do not make more than 2 applications of SYN-A16003 

per year. Do not exceed 3.4 fl. oz. (0.045 lb ai/A) in a single postemergence 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 19 

application. Do not make the second application of SYN-A16003 within 14 days of the 

first application. 

Apply SYN-A16003 for the control or partial control of broadleaf and grass weeds listed 

in Tables 1 and 2. Corn may be treated up to 30 inches tall or up to the 8-leaf stage of 

corn growth. Do not feed or harvest forage or sweet corn ears within 45 days after 

application. 

SYN-A16003 USED ALONE – POSTEMERGENCE

Apply SYN-A16003 at 3.4 fl. oz./A per application. Always add an appropriate adjuvant 

to the spray tank (see the SPRAY ADDITIVES section of this label). 

For best results, apply SYN-A16003 to actively growing weeds. For a list of weeds 

controlled see Table 1. Susceptible weeds which emerge soon after application of 

SYN-A16003 may be controlled after they absorb the herbicide from the soil. SYNA16003 will not control most grass weeds. 

Only one postemergence application may be made and do not exceed a total of 3.4 fl. 

oz./A (0.045 lb ai/A) of SYN-A16003 per year. 

If atrazine is mixed with SYN-A16003, do not apply to corn that is more than 12 inches 

in height. 

Corn may be treated up to 30 inches tall or up to the 8-leaf stage of corn growth. Do not 

harvest forage or sweet corn ears within 45 days after application. 

SYN-A16003 USED ALONE – PREEMERGENCE 

Apply SYN-A16003 alone at 3.4 fl. oz./A (0.045 lb ai/A) by ground sprayers in a spray 

volume of 10-30 gal of water (up to 80 gal if applied with liquid fertilizers) per acre for 

broadleaf weed control. For a list of weeds controlled, or partially controlled, refer to 

Table 2. SYN-A16003 may be tank mixed with preemergence grass herbicides for 

grass control. Refer to the tank mix section for a list of partners. 

SYN-A16003 TANK MIXTURES FOR CORN 

SYN-A16003 may be tank mixed with other registered herbicides for improved spectrum 

of weed control in burndown, preemergence or postemergence applications.

Additionally these tank mixtures can be used to include a different mode of action 

herbicide to help control or manage the development of resistant weed biotypes. 

Burndown Tank Mixtures in Corn

SYN-A16003 may be applied in tank mixture with other registered herbicides for 

burndown plus residual weed control. 
SYN-A16003 Herbicide 

Page 20 

For improved broadleaf weed control with limited residual control prior to planting corn 

and before corn emergence, apply SYN-A16003 at 3.4 fl. oz./A in tank mixes with 

Gramoxone® brands, Roundup® brands, Touchdown® brands, dicamba brands (e.g. 

Banvel®) and/or 2,4-D. Use the adjuvant system recommended by the burndown 

herbicide. Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, 

rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled. 

Preemergence Tank Mixtures in Corn

SYN-A16003 may be applied at a rate of 3.4 fl. oz./A in tank mixture with other 

registered herbicides for preemergence residual weed control.

SYN-A16003 may be tank mixed with AAtrex 4L or AAtrex® Nine-O, Bicep Lite II 

Magnum®, Bicep II Magnum®, Dual II Magnum®, Princep® 4L and Princep® Caliber 

90. Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, restrictions, rates, 

approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled. 

Postemergence Tank Mixtures in Corn

The tank mixtures with SYN-A16003 identified in Table 4 may be applied 

postemergence to corn (i.e., after corn has emerged). Unless specified otherwise on 

this label or a Syngenta supplemental label, do not apply SYN-A16003 at less than 3.4 

fl. oz./A.

Always add an appropriate adjuvant to the spray tank (see the SPRAY ADDITIVES

section of this label). Refer to individual product labels for precautionary statements, 

restrictions, rates, approved uses, and a list of weeds controlled. Not all of the tank mix 

pesticides listed are registered for corn (for grain, seed, or silage), yellow popcorn, or 

sweet corn.
