PROHIBITIONS: Do not co~taminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Do not store under conditions which may adversely affect the contai~er or its ability to function properly. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, positioning of the container in storage, storage temperature, potential for crushing or damage due to stacking, and penetration of mOlsture.

STORAGE: Store in a safe manner. Store in original container only. Store in cool, dry place. Reduce stacking height where local conditls;,s, such as hu~idity or pallet overhang can affect package strength.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pe£ticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide and Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous'Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent witt. its labeling.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Atrazine BOW will control most annual broadleaf and grass weeds in corn, sorghum, sugarcane, plneapple and certain other crops. It 1S also effective for control of most annual and many perennial broadlea: and grass weeds in noncrop areas and industrial sites. Atrazine BOW may be applied before or af~er weeds emerge.

Since Atrazine BOW acts mainly through root absorption, its effectiveness '-' depends on rainfall or irrigation to move it into the root zone. Sho>.:]:::

weeds develo r a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in b, _ter weed control.

• • . ., Atrazine BOW is a wettable powder that should be mixed .\jj..t,4 wa~r"ar,d applied as a spray. Make a slurry by adding Atrazine &.P~ '0 water. PO:.lr the slurry into the spray tank during or after fil'lin;i. SMj~~~ent hydraulic (jet) o. mechanical agitation must be pl-ovidecr:ClU7ing ll1~xi:-,S and application to keep the material in suspension. '.. .: ••••

Wash sprayer thoroughly after use. . . ~ .. . .

Store Atrazine BOW in a dry pl~ce.

In each case where a range of rates is <J1ven, the lower rate should be used on 11ght soils and soils low 1n organic matter; the higher rate should be used on heavy soils and Salls high ~n organ1c matter.

GROUND APPLICATION: For uniform distrlbution in troadcast applications, TeeJet 8003 or 8004 fan type or similar nozzles w~th openings of equal or greater size should be used. For band applications, use TeeJet 8003-£ or 8004-£ or simllar type Ilozz.es. Sereer. in nozzles as well as those in suction and in-line strainers should be no finer thar 50 mesh size. A suitable pump with capacity to deliver 10-12 gpm shOUld be used and operating pressure should be 35-40 psi. Use 20-40 gals. of water per acre to assure eve, coverage unless otherwise specifieJ.

AERIAL APPLICATION: specified. Apply a l~ Ibs. of Atrazine

Use only wtere bro~dcast spplications arE IT.inir::um of 1 gallon of wat.er for each 1 lb., to 80W to be ap~lied per acr2.

Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING: Avoid application directly to humans 0;:' animals. Although it is unnec'=,sary for flagmen or loaders to ,,'ea:­protective clothing or equ1pment, care sh0uld be taken to avoid inha­lation of dust or spray misl, or prolonged contact witll skin. Flag~e~ and loaders should wash thorough:y ?efore eating and at the end of each day's operation.

Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk storage sites \Vith an impermeable material.

This product may not be mixed/loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes.

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

CORN: One application will control m0st an,ual broadleaf and grass v weeds such as barnyardgrass, witchgrass (Panicum capillare), yellow

foxtail, green foxtail, wild oats, large (hairy) crabgrass; giant foxtail, velvetleaf, morningglory, lambsquarters, pigweed, ragweed, nightshade, purslane, and mustard.

PROCEDURES: 1) Thoroughly clean sprayer prior to '-lse. Do not use sprayer contaminated with 2,4-D or other material~ as sorghum damag~ or splayer clogging may result. 2) In a separace container make a thin slurry of Atrazone BOW In water, t~oroughly wetting the Atrazlne. 3) Fill the spray tank with water, allowing for the addition of the Atrazine. 4) With the agitation system in operation, add th~ Atrazine 80W slurry. 5) Add the emulsifiable oil last. 6) Empty the tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent ~ buildup of oil :n the tank. Keep the agitation system in operation to avoid a separatlcn of the oil from the water in the spray mlxture still remaining in t~e tank. 7) If an oil film starts to bUild up in the tank, ':rain the tank and clean out with a strong detergent solutuion of solvent. 8) Clean the sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing the system with water containing a detergent. ,

NOTE: 1) Do not use oil in Atrazine 80W sprAys when sorghum is unde~ stress from prolonged cold, wet weather, poor fertility, or other factors or when sorghum is we~ and succulent from recent rainfall as crop injury may occur. 2) Do not use oil in Atrazine 80W sprays whe~ treating inbred lines or any breeding stock as injury may occur. 3) Adding other insecticides, herbicides. liquid fertilizers, or other materials is not recommended because they may cause compatibility problems or crop injury. 4) Store and handle emulsifiable oil carefully. Oil contaminated with even a small amount of water may not emulsify properly when added cO the tank. 5) Do not make more than one application of Atrazine 80W and emUlsifiable oil in water per season.

PRECAUTIONS: 1) Heavy rains immediately following application tene to result in excessive concantrations of herbicide in seed furrow, resulting in possible crop injury. Applications to furrow-planted sorghum should not be made until f~rrows are leveled (plowed in). Deep planter marks or seed furrows should be leveled before applicatlc; 2) Application made to sorghum growing under stress caused by minor element deficiency or to sorghum growing on highly calcareous soils ~~y result in crop injury. 3) Do not plant any rotational crops other thc~ those specified in the Suggestions for Rotational Crops section below for 18 months following application. 4) Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 21 days following application. ~) Following harvest of a treated crap, ploW (moldb0ard or disk plow) . and thoroughly till the soil in the fall or spring to minimize'rS~ib'e injury to rotational spring-seeded crops, regardless of:·eife:~ate·Jsc~.
