Uptake and Translocation Flumetsulam and s-metolachlor are absorbed by both roots and shoots of germinating broadleaf weeds. S-metolachlor is absorbed by germinating grasses mainly through the shoot just above the seed.
Basis of Selectivity 

Selectivity of flumetsulam in soybeans is based on metabolism. Basis of selectivity of s-metolachlor is not established.

Application Methods Surface preplant, preplant incorporated or preemergence.
Residual Activity The most significant means of dissipation of both s-metolachlor and flumetsulam is microbial degradation. Provides season-long residual control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Rotational crops are winter wheat, spring wheat, spring barley, soybeans, common beans (dry, snap), lima beans, peas, field corn, seed corn.
Unique Characteristics Can be applied up to 21 days before planting. Rainfall within 7 - 10 days is required for maximum activity of a preemergence application.

Suspension concentrate formulation separates into two phases over time. Shake container well before using.
