Product Overview
Interline Herbicide is a broad-spectrum, non-selective herbicide containing glufosinate-ammonium. It effectively controls annual and perennial weeds in crops, offering preplant, preemergence, and postemergence application flexibility as a Group 10 herbicide.
1.1 Key Components of Interline Herbicide
Interline Herbicide’s key component is glufosinate-ammonium, a Group 10 herbicide that inhibits glutamine synthetase, disrupting amino acid synthesis in weeds. This active ingredient provides broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds.
Formulated as a water-soluble herbicide, Interline is applied as a spray solution, making it versatile for preplant, preemergence, and postemergence use. Its supplemental labels and EPA registration (No. 70506-310) ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, while its compatibility with tank mixing enhances weed management strategies.
As a non-selective herbicide, Interline effectively targets a wide range of weeds without discriminating between species, making it suitable for various agricultural settings and crop systems. Its mode of action ensures rapid weed control, supporting efficient crop production and yield protection.
1.2 Usage Patterns and Applications
Interline Herbicide is designed for versatile application across various stages of crop management. It is primarily used for preplant and preemergence weed control, effectively preventing weeds from establishing in fields.
Additionally, Interline can be applied postemergence, targeting existing weeds that compete with crops for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it suitable for controlling both annual and perennial species.
Approved for use on crops like Camelina and hops, Interline is a valuable tool in managing weeds in diverse agricultural settings. Its usage patterns align with integrated pest management strategies, ensuring efficient weed control while maintaining crop health and productivity.
1.3 Active Ingredients and Mode of Action
Interline Herbicide contains the active ingredient glufosinate-ammonium, classified as a Group 10 herbicide. It functions as a glutamine synthetase inhibitor, disrupting amino acid synthesis in plants.
This disruption leads to a rapid accumulation of toxic levels of ammonia within plant tissues, causing cellular dysfunction and ultimately plant death. The herbicide is effective against a wide range of annual and perennial weeds.
Visible effects, such as leaf yellowing and necrosis, occur within days of application. Interline’s mode of action makes it a critical tool for managing glyphosate-resistant weeds, ensuring effective control when applied correctly.

Application Guidelines
Interline Herbicide can be applied preplant, preemergence, or postemergence, ensuring thorough coverage for effective weed control. Always follow label instructions for specific crop and timing guidelines.
3.1 Preplant and Preemergence Instructions
Interline Herbicide can be applied preplant or preemergence to control weeds before crop emergence. For preplant use, apply to the soil surface and incorporate if required. Ensure soil is properly prepared and free of debris. The recommended rate varies by soil type and weed pressure, typically ranging from 1 to 2 pints per acre. Preemergence application should occur before weed germination, ensuring thorough coverage. Soil moisture is critical for activation, so apply when rainfall or irrigation is expected. Avoid application to cracked or sandy soils to minimize leaching risks. Tank mixing with other herbicides is allowed if compatible, but always follow label guidelines. For best results, apply during cooler parts of the day to reduce drift potential. Always adhere to label instructions for specific crop and soil conditions to ensure efficacy and safety.
3.2 Postemergence Application Recommendations
Interline Herbicide is highly effective for postemergence weed control, targeting actively growing annual and perennial weeds. Apply when weeds are small (2-4 inches tall) for optimal results. Use 1 to 2 pints per acre, adjusting based on weed size and type. Ensure thorough coverage using flat fan or hollow cone nozzles to maximize efficacy. Avoid application during extreme temperatures or high winds to prevent drift. Apply in 15-30 gallons of water per acre for ground equipment and 5-10 gallons per acre for aerial applications. For glufosinate-tolerant crops, apply as an over-the-top treatment. Do not apply to stressed crops or during adverse weather conditions. Always follow label guidelines for specific crop and weed recommendations to ensure effective weed control and minimize crop injury. Proper timing and application technique are critical for achieving desired results.
3.3 Tank Mixing and Compatibility
Interline Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides to enhance weed control, but compatibility must be verified. Ensure no label restrictions exist for co-application. Conduct a jar test to confirm compatibility before mixing. Maintain recommended water volume and avoid exceeding labeled rates. For optimal performance, follow specific guidelines for each tank mix partner. Do not mix with products containing conflicting labels or prohibited combinations. Maintain agitation to prevent settling. Adhere to label instructions for safe and effective tank mixing. Always test compatibility and ensure proper equipment setup to avoid issues during application. Proper tank mixing ensures effective weed management while maintaining crop safety. Follow all label recommendations to achieve desired results without compromising product performance or crop tolerance.

Resistance Management
Interline Herbicide is a Group 10 herbicide. To prevent resistance, rotate with herbicides of different modes of action and use integrated weed management practices.
5.1 Strategies to Prevent Herbicide Resistance
To prevent herbicide resistance, rotate Interline Herbicide with herbicides of different modes of action. Use integrated weed management practices, including cultural and mechanical methods. Scout fields regularly to identify and control resistant weed populations early. Apply the recommended dosage and timing to ensure effective weed control. Avoid consecutive applications of glufosinate-ammonium and incorporate non-chemical strategies like tillage or crop rotation. Clean equipment between fields to prevent cross-contamination of weed seeds. Monitor for herbicide-resistant weeds and report suspect cases. Use tank mixtures with other herbicides, if labeled, to delay resistance development; Always follow label instructions and maintain good agricultural practices to minimize resistance risks.
