Attached is a copy of the Motif label; the soybean section is on page 15 and reads as follows:

MOTIF FOR SOYBEANS – LABEL LANGUAGE ( LibertyLink GT27 Soybeans for pre-emergence only)
 
Mesotrione tolerant varieties ONLY. Motif can only be applied pre-emergence and only to soybeans that are identified as mesotrione tolerant. Applications to soybeans that are not mesotrione tolerant will result in significant crop injury. For a list of mesotrione tolerant soybean varieties, contact your Seed provider.
 
Pre-emergence Application: For pre-emergence control of the weeds listed in Table 2, apply Motif prior to soybean emergence at a rate of 6.0 fl oz/A. Use the higher rate for longer residual control. This product may be tank mixed with other registered soybean herbicides such as Dual Magnum®, Dual II Magnum, and Prefix®. Refer to the tank mix partner label and follow all precautions and restrictions.
 
If weeds are emerged at the time of application, add either a non-ionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt./100 gallons (0.25% v/v) or a crop oil concentrate (COC) at 1 gallon/100 gallons (1% v/v). In addition to NIS or COC, it is also recommended to add either ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 8.5-17 lbs./100 gallon (or equivalent).
 
Restrictions
•          Do not apply  more than 6.0 fl oz/A per soybean crop per year.
•          Do not make more than one application of Motif per year.
•          Do not apply Motif to emerged soybeans.
•          Do not graze or feed soybean forage or hay to livestock.
 
At this time, UPL anticipates that they will have initial supply of Motif to cover approximately a half million soybean acres for the 2022 growing season.
