ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS 
Mixers and loaders supporting aerial applications are required to use closed systems. The closed system 
must be used in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for 
agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240( d)( 4)]. When using the closed system, the mixers and loaders 
PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements 
listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the 
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 
User Safety Recommendations 
Users should: 
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or 
l1sing tobacco. 
• Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the 
mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. 
Ground Water Advisory: 
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of 
agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water 
table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. 
Surface Water Advisory: 
Metolachlor can contaminate surface water through ground spray drift. Under some conditions, 
metolachlor may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in 
runoff water), for several months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with 
readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying 
extremely shallow ground water, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not 
separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas over-laying tile drainage 
systems that drain to surface water. 
Mixiug/Loading Instructions: 
2

Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning into wells, spills, or improper 
disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsates. 
Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing and/or irrigation equipment. 
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 ft. of perennial or intermittent streams and rivers, 
natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. This product may not be mixedlloaded or used within 50 ft. of 
all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, 
loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or 
containers within 50 ft. of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to

GENERAL INFORMATION 
Metolachlor 8E Plus is a herbicide recommended as a preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or 
pre emergence treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for the control of most annual grasses and certain 
broadleaf weeds in field and pop com. 
When referring to weed control, partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or 
consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. 
PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS 
I. Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of each product used in tank mixes. Tank 
mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered. 
2. Do not apply under conditions that favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this product to 
non-target areas. 
3. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion: 
Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. 
Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. 
Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces. 
Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target 
crops unless at least y, inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. 
4. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may 
result. Avoid drift to sensitive non-target plants, such as soybeans, during application or injury may 
occur. 
5. Where a single formulation for AAtrex® or Princep® is listed in this label, other formulations may be 
substituted, using the following formula: 
I lb. of AAtrex®Nine-O or Princep Caliber 90® = 1.8 pts. of AAtrex® 4L or Princep® 4L 
Follow the rates, recommendations, mixing instructions and limitations on the label of the specific 
product used. Broadleaf weed control may be affected if AAtrex® IS applied at rates lower than those 
recommended on this label. Refer to the AAtrex® label for weeds controlled at the reduced rates. 
6. Certain states may have established rate limitations for atrazine within specific geographical areas. 
Consult your state lead pestlcide control agency for additlonal information. It is a violation of this 
label to deviate from state use regulations. 
7. If tank mixtures of atrazine or products containing atrazine are applied, the following maximum 
broadcast atrazme application rates must be observed: 
4

'7/~ 
If no atrazine was applied prior to com emergence, apply a maximum of 2 Ib ail A broadcast. If a 
postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application, the total atrazine 
applied may not exceed 2.5 Ib ail A per calendar year. 
2.0 Ib ail A as a single preemergence application on soils that are not highly erodible or on highly 
erodible soils if at least 30% of the soil is covered with plant residues; or 1.6 Ib ail A as a single 
preemergence application on highly erodible soils if <30% of the surface is covered with plant 
residues; or 2.0 Ib ail A if only applied preemergence. 
Ifno atrazine was applied prior to com emergence, apply a maximum of2 Ib ai/A broadcast. 
8. megal residues may result if Metolachlor 8E Plus is applied at more than the labeled application rate 
for a given soil texture per year either as a single or split treatment. In field and pop com, 
Metolachlor 8E Plus may be applied up to 2.75 pts.! A as either a preplant surface, preplant 
incorporated, or preemergence treatment on soils having an organic matter content between 6% and 
20% or up to 2.0 pts.! A on any soil for extended residual control and where severe stands of problem 
weeds are expected. Metolachlor 8E Plus may be applied preemergence alone, or in combination 
with tank mix partners as specified on this label, following preplant incorporated herbicides when 
used according to their label recommendations, provided that such use is not prohibited on the 
respective labels. The duration of weed control in com may be extended by applying a maximum rate 
of 2.0 pts.! A of Metolachlor 8E Plus after com emergence but before com plants reach 40 inches in 
height, following any preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence herbicide 
application, including Metolachlor 8E Plus. During anyone crop year, the maximum metolachlor 
rate applied to com should not exceed 4.0 pts.!A (3.9Ibs. a.i.!A), depending on soil texture. 
9. If Metolachlor 8E Plus is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the 
depth of incorporation. 
10. Effectiveness may be reduced if dry weather follows pre emergence application of Metolach10r 8E 
Plus or a tank mixture. Cultivate if weeds develop. 
11. For applications to com with Meto1achlor 8E Plus only, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas 
for 30 days following application, or possible illegal residues may result. When making applications 
of Metolachlor 8E Plus in tank mix with atrazine products, do not graze or feed forage from treated 
areas for 60 days following application or possible illegal residues may result. 
12. When making center pivot irrigation applications - where sprinkler distribution patterns do not 
overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns 
overlap excessively, crop injury may result. 
13. To avoid rotational alfalfa or clover injury: (1) Do not apply more than 2.0 Ibs. a.i. of me to lac hI or per 
acre (2.0 pts. of Metolachlor 8E Plus) preemergence (including preplant surface, preplant 
incorporated, postplant incorporated, and (2) Do not make lay-by or other postemergent applications 
of Metolachlor 8E Plus. 
14. Do not apply combinations containing Gramoxone® Extra in suspension-type liquid fertilizers, 
because the activity of paraquat will be reduced. 
15. Do not use Metolachlor 8E Plus on peat or muck soils. 
SOIL TEXTURES AND HERBICIDE RATES 
Where rates are based on coarse, medium, or fine-textured soils, it is understood that soil textural classes 
are generally categorized as follows: 
Coarse Medium Fine 
Sand Loam Silty clay loam I Sandy clay 
Loamy sand Silt Sandy clay loam I Clay loam 
5

I Sandy loam I Silt loam I Silty clay I Clay 
When a range of rates is provided in rate tables and elsewhere on this label, use the lower rate on soils 
relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter and use the higher rate on soils relatively fine-textured 
or high in organic matter. 
Clean sprayer or other application device thoroughly before using. Dispose of the cleaning solution in a 
responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer or other application equipment that is contaminated with any 
other materials or crop damage or clogging of the application device may result. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
Metolachlor 8E Plus Alone: Mix Metolachlor 8E Plus with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as a spray. 
Fill a spray tank 1, - % full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the recommended amount of Me to lac hi or 8E 
Plus, then add the rest of the water Or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and 
application to maintain a uniform emulsion. 
Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank 1, full with water and start agitation; add 2,4-D, AAtrex®, Banvel® or 
Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Basagran®, Lorox®, Marksman®, Princep®, Prowl®, or AAtrex® + Princep® 
and allow it to become dispersed; then add Metolachlor 8E Plus; then add Gramoxone® Extra, 
Landmaster® BW, Roundup® or Gly Star'" Original; then add the rest of the water. 
For tank mixtures with AAtrex®, Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt, Lorox'", Marksman®, 
Princep'", Prowl'"', or AAtrex® + Princep®, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as carrier, 
except in the AAtrex® postemergence and the Banvel® or Albaugh Dicamba DMA Salt postemergence 
tank mixes. When mixing with AAtrex®, refer to notes 5, 6, 7 and II under the PRECAUTIONS AND 
RESTRICTIONS section of this label and the AAtrex® label. Check the compatibility with fluid 
fertilizers for each tank mixture as described below before mixing in the spray tank. For all tank 
mixtures, agitate during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension. 
'See· Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with AAtrex'" or Princep® + Prowl"' under the 
appropriate tank mixture section of this label. 
Compatibility Test 
A jar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Metolachlor 8E Plus with other 
pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals.lA. For other spray volumes, make 
appropriate changes in the ingredients. 
Note: Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray. 
Because liquid fertilizers vary, even WIthin the same analysis, always check compatibility with 
pesticide(s) before use. Incompatibility of tank mixtures is more common with suspensions of fertilizer 
and pesticides. 
Check compatibility by following the procedure below: 
I. Add 1 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids. Note: Use the 
same source of water that will be used for the tank mix and conduct the test at the temperature the 
tank mix will be applied. 
2. To one of the jars. add \':. tsp. or 1.2 milliliters ofa compatibility agent approved for food use, such as 
Compex or Unite (1/4 tsp. IS equivalent to 2 pts.1I 00 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) in their relative proportions based on 
recommended label rates. If more than one pesticide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides 
first, then flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to 
mix thoroughly. 
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, invert each jar 10 times to mix. Allow the 
mixture to stand 15-30 mmutes and then look for separation, large flakes. precipitates. gels. heavy 
6

oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed 
in the spray mixture by comparing the 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, 
the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the 
following methods of improving compatibility: (a) slurry the dry pesticide(s) in water before 
addition, or (b) add Y, of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other y, to the 
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is 
still observed, do not use the mixture. 
5. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the 
Storage and Disposal section of this label. 
APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
Application Timing - Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in tank mixtures with herbicides labeled for use on 
field and pop com may be applied at various times for weed control. See directions below for specific 
application timing. 
Preplallt Surface-Applied: Minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in 
some tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 days before planting com. For treatments made 30-45 days 
before planting, apply Metolachlor 8E Plus as a split application. Treatments made less than 30 days 
before planting may be made either as a split or a single application. For a split application, apply 2/3 the 
recommended broadcast rate of Metolachlor 8E Plus for the appropriate soil texture initially and the 
remaining 1/3 applied at planting. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a tank mixture 
combination with a contact herbicide such as Gramoxone" Extra, Roundup" or Gly Star'M Original. 
Observe the directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on the label of the tank mix partner. Weed 
control will be diminished if treated soil is moved out of the row or untreated soil is moved to the surface 
during planting. 
Preplant Incorporated: Apply Metolachlor 8E Plus to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of 
soil within 14 days before planting, using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar implement 
capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow 
irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If crop will be planted on 
beds, apply and incorporate Metolachlor 8E Plus after bed formation, unless otherwise specified in this 
label (Refer to Special Application Procedures CA Only - Pre plant Incorporated (Field and Pop 
Corn) section below). 
Preemergence: Apply Metolachlor 8E Plus during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but 
before weed or crop emergence. 
SPECIAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
CA Only - Preplalll Incorporated (Field and Pop Com): Broadcast Metolachlor 8E Plus to the soil and 
thoroughly incorporate with a disk or similar implement set to till 4-6 inches deep. For more thorough 
incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions (cross-till). Com may be planted on flat surface or on 
beds. Use caution when forming beds so that only soil from the Metolachlor 8E Plus treated zone is used, 
avoid bringing untreated soil to the surface. If application is made to preformed beds, incorporate 
Metolachlor 8E Plus with a tillage implement set to till 2-4 inches deep. Use care during tilling to keep 
the tilled (Metolachlor 8E Plus treated soil) on the beds. 
Preemergence: Apply Metolachlor 8E Plus after planting and water with sprinkler or flood irrigation 
within 7-10 days. 
Fall Application (Only in lA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and portions of NE and IL - see specific instructions 
in the Corn section of this label for application timing and other information): Use on medium and 
fine soils containing greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted to com or soybeans the next 
spring. Do not apply when ground is frozen. Ground may be tilled before or after application. Do not 
7

exceed a 2 to 3-inch incorporation depth if tilled after treatment. If a spring application is made, the total 
rate of the fall applications and spring applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for com or 
illegal residues may result. Refer to note 8 in the PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS section of this 
label for metolachlor application rate limitations. 
Ground Application: Apply Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a 
minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre, unless specified otherwise. 
Use only sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For Metolachlor 8E Plus tank mixtures 
with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50-
mesh. Thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water immediately after use. 
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula: 
bandwidth in inches 
row width in inches 
Low Carrier Application 
x broadcast 
rate per acre 
amount needed 
per acre of field 
For Broadcast Ground Application Only: Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator", Hagie, John Deere 
Hi-Cycle™, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot~", or Willmar Air Ride", that provide accurate and uniform 
application. Only water may be used as a carrier. Screens in suction and in-line strainers should be 
50-mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine as 100-mesh be used with some nozzles. 
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain up to 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient 
agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of spray mixture per acre. 
The maximum recommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Thoroughly rinse sprayer with clean water 
immediately following each use. 
In order to reduce drift and increase app\ication accuracy, low pressure nozzles are recommended. Use 
care ;.vhen using automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the rated working pressure 
and flow ranges of the nozzles selected. Use nozzle screens when recommended by the manufacturer. 
All nozzles should be placed on 20-inch centers, except flooding types which should be placed on 40-inch 
centers. When Flat Fan-type nozzles are used, angles of 800 or 1100 are recommended. Read and follow 
the manufacturer's directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips. 
Aerial Application 
Metolachlor 8E Plus may be applied alone or in tank mixtures with AAtrex" or Lorox" in a minimum 
spray volume of 2 gals.! A by aircraft. Metolachlor 8E Plus may also be applied by air in combination 
with Prowl". Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where 
excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure that spray will be controlled within the target area 
when used according to label directions, make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft., using low-drift 
nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict application to periods when wind speed does not 
exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants, apply 
Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or Metolachlor 8E Plus + AAtrex" by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance 
of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or apply Metolachlor 8E Plus + Lorox" at a minimum upwind distance of 
300 ft. from sensitive plants. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and 
prolonged contact with skin. See the FIRST AID section of this label in the event of inadvertent exposure. 
Aerial Drift Management 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the grower. The 
interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The 
applicator and grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. 
8

11/ .;x,p 
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from 
aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, 
public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed ,/, the length of the wingspan or 
rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backwards parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards 
more than 45 degrees. 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. The applicator should be familiar 
with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information 
section below. 
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information: 
Information on Droplet Size 
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management 
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger 
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under 
unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature 
Inversions). 
Controlling Droplet Size 
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with 
higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 
• 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 flow rate 
nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces 
larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 
horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. 
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle 
types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream 
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 
Boom Length 
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan or rotor length 
may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. 
Application Height 
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless 
a greater height IS required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe 
reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 
Swath Adjustment 
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the 
up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adj usting 
the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential 
(higher wind, smaller drops, etc.) 
9

Wind 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet 
size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided 
below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. 
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind 
patterns and how they affect spray drift. 
Temperature and Humidity 
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to 
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 
Temperature Inversions 
Applications should 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 
mverslOns. 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 contmue 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. 
Sensitive Areas 
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. 
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is 
minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION 
Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides specified on this label, which are 
registered for center pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water preemergence (after planting, 
but before weeds or crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. Only apply this product through a 
center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. 
Crop injury, ineffectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform 
distribution of treated water. Users should contact State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, 
or other experts for questions regarding calibration. Do not connect an irrigation system (including 
greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label 
prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the 
chemigation system and responsible for its operatIOn, or under the supervision of the responsible person, 
shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 
Operating Instructions 
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain 
appropnately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from back 
flow. 
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to 
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated 
valve located on the intake side of the Injection pump and connected to the system interlock to 
10

\.' ". 
"-:" 
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either 
automatically or manually shut down. 
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 
injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water 
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely 
affected. 
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm 
pump or piston pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with 
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part of water to I part herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into 
the center pivot system. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually 
provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the 
herbicide in suspension. 
9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 
10. Apply in Y2 - 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (112 inch) on coarse-textured soils and the 
higher volume (J inch) on fine-textured soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may reduce 
weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil. 
Refer to note 12 in the PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS section of this label for precautions 
associated with center pivot irrigation applications. 
IMPREGNATING DRY FERTILIZERS 
Metolachlor 8E Plus may be used to impregnate many dry bulk granular fertilizers alone or in selected 
Metolachlor 8E Plus tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant surface 
application which are used to control weeds In com on the Metolachlor 8E Plus label and are not 
prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
Impregnation of bulk fertilizer with atrazine is restricted to commercial facilities. On-farm fertilizer 
impregnation is prohibited. No more than 500 tons of dry bulk fertilizer can be impregnated per day. No 
single facility may impregnate fertilizer with this product for more than 30 days per calendar year. 
Follow all directions for use and precautionary language on the respective product labels regarding target 
crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including application timing), and rotational crop 
restrictions when applying Metolachlor 8E Plus alone or in mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and 
application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the herbicide/fertilizer mixture. 
The herbicide/fertilizer mixture maybe prepared by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other 
commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Ensure nozzles used to spray Metolachlor 8E Plus or 
Metolachlor 8E Plus mixtures onto the fertilizer are placed to provide uniform spray coverage. Use care 
to avoid spraying the walls of the blender. Spray should be directed only onto the fertilizer. 
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, a highly absorptive material such as Agsorb® or Celatom 
MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials may be added to obtain a dry, free­
flowing mixture. Only add absorptive materials after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the 
fertilizer mixture. Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a 
size similar to that of the fertilizer material being used. In general, less than 2% by weight of absorptive 
material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight. 
Calculate the amounts of Metolachlor 8E Plus, AAtrex®, Princep® or AAtrex® + Princep') by the 
following formula: 
11

2000 X pts.! A of liquid or = pts. of liquid or flowable

Plleumatic (Compressed Air) Applicatioll (Metolachlor 8E Plus Alolle): High humidity, high urea 
concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixture to build up or plug 
the distributor head, air tubes, or nozzle deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix Metolachlor 8E 
Plus with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1-4 pts.!gal. of Metolachlor 8E Plus. Aromatic 200 is a 
noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer 
blender or through direct injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when using Aromatic 200. 
Notes: (1) Use mixtures of Metolachlor 8E Plus and Aromatic 200 on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or 
crop injury may result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying 
applications. (2) When impregnating Metolachlor 8E Plus in a blender before application, a drier mixture 
can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb FG or drying agents 
of 6/30 particle size are recommended. (3) Drying agents are not recommended for use with On-The-Go 
impregnation equipment. 
Precautions: To avoid the potential for explosion, (1) Do not impregnate Metolachlor 8E Plus or 
Metolachlor 8E Plus mixtures on ammonium, potassium, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with 
other fertilizers. (2) Do not use Metolachlor 8E Plus or Metolachlor 8E Plus mixtures on straight 
limestone, since absorption will not be achieved. Limestone containing fertilizer blends can be 
impregnated. 
Applicatioll: Apply 200-700 Ibs. of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. To ensure best results, 
uniformly apply the mixture to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. 
Uniform application of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop injury. Non­
uniform application may result in less than satisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional tillage 
is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mixture into the soil may improve weed control. On fine or 
medium textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or in 
some conventional till situations, make applications approximately 30 days before planting to allow 
moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse textured soils, make 
applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. 
Precaution: Crop injury may be avoided by not using the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops where 
bedding occurs.

incorporated, followed by 1.0-1.33 pts.! A of Metolachlor 8E Plus preemergence. The 
preemergence application should be made during or after planting, but before weeds and com 
emerge. 
(2) Apply Metolachlor 8E Plus at 1.33 pts.! A alone or in tank mixture with up to 2.0 lbs. a.i.I A of 
AAtrex'" or Princep"', preplant incorporated. For a given soil texture, do not exceed the total rate 
of triazine herbicide recommended in combination with Metolachlor 8E Plus. Follow the 
preplant incorporated application with a post-directed application of Evik'" 80W at 2.5 lbs.! A. 
Refer to the Evik'" 80W label for specific directions for the post-directed application. 
(3) Apply a preplant incorporated treatment of Eradicane'" or Sutan'" (or equivalent EPTC or butylate 
formulations) at labeled rates, followed by a preemergence application of Metolachlor 8E Plus at 
1.0-1.33 pts.!A. Do not use Eradicane® or Sutan'" on soils where rapid degradation has been 
shown to occur. The preemergence application should be made during or after planting, but 
before weeds and com emerge. 
A shallow cultivation may be needed after the preemergence or postemergence application to help 
control any late emerging shattercane or wild proso millet.
