Always predetermine the compatibility of Micro-Tech or labeled tank IIIixtures of Micro-Tech with water carrier or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. See the "STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST" section in this label to determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier. NOTE: Micro-Tech and all tank mixtures listed in the "DIRECTION FOR USE" section may be applied in sprayable fluid fertilizers. Mix Micro-Tech or labeled tanlt mixture of Micro-Tech with the appropriate carrier as follows: 1. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port. 2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with the appropriate carrier. (Micro-Tech C 1992-1) 6 (4/27/92) ------------------- '/ 3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank. Use only compatibility agents, cleared by FDA for this use. Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the selected compatibility agent label. Check for adequate agitation. 4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with water and add it slowly through the screen into the tank. continue agitation. 5. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water and added to the tank in diluted form. 6. Add Micro-Tech slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form. 7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If Gramoxone™ Extra is used, add the required amount near the end of the filling process. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Carefully select prcper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist. Check for even distribution of spray droplets. To reduce loss of the chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at nozzle pressures below 40 psi. ™Gramoxone is ~ trademark of ICI Americas Inc. STANDARD SPRAYABLB FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TBST Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical vaiue. This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test using small quantities of the components is suggested to provide compatibility potential. The test follows: A. Materials Required For A compatibility Test (Micro-Tech C 1992-1) 7 (4/27/92 ) I ' I, 7 1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and "without") . 2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mI.) pipette or graduated cylinder is desirable). 3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested. 4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed. 5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension, if this assistance is needed.) B. Procedure 1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar marked "with" and "without". Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer To Two Quart Jars. WITH WITHOUT 2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix. (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.) To Jar Marked "With" Add Compatibility Agent And Shake to Mix. WITH WITHOUT 3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s) listed in the following tables. If more than one is used, add them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and liquid last. Shake gently five to ten seconds after each addition. WITH HERBICIDE Wettable Powders or Dry Flowables (Micro-Tech C 1992-1) Add Herbicide(s) To Both Jars ~1d Shake to Mix. WITHOUT Amount to Be Added Per Pint Of Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer (Assuming Volume is 25 gallA) Level RATE/A TEAspoons 1 lb. == 1.5 2 lb. == 3 3 lb. = 4.5 4 lb. = 6 5 lb. = 7.5 8 023C'OO~S (4/21/92) ) HERBICIDE Emulsif iable Concentrates or Flowables or Liquids or solutions RATE/A 1 pint 1 quart 2 quarts 3 quarts 1 gallon 5 quarts i I '".} Level TEAspoons Milliliters = 0.5 or 2.4 = 1 or 4.7 = 2 or 9.5 = 3 or 14.2 = 4 or 19.0 = 5 or 23.8 This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre. For changes in spray volume or herbicide concentration, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test. Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 teaspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer. C. Observations and Decisions 1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are compatible. 2. If a compatibility agent is necessary. Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily particles in the solution. If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar "with" the compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank. If incompatibility as descibed above occurs in the jar "without" the adjuvant but not in the jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended. Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour. If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, .commercial application is possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers. If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in th·, foregoing test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank. APPLICATION INFORMATION (Kicro-Tech C 1992-1) 9 (4/27/92) II 'I , . APPLICATION SYSTEMS Ground Broadcast Treatment-Apply this product and the labeled tank mixtures in 15 or more gallons of solution per acre using broadcast boom equipment.

Do not apply during p~riods of gusty winds, when winds are in excess of 15 mph or when other conditions favoring drift exist. Band Treatment-Apply a broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre. To determine these: Band width in inches Row width in inches Band width in inches Row width in inches x x Broadcast RATE per acre Broadcast VOLUME per acre = = Band RATE per acre Band VOLUME per acre Aerial-pixed wing; helicopter-Apply the recommended rates of this product or approved tank mixtures in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. AVOID DRIFT-DO NO~ APPLY DURING INVERSION CONDITIONS, WHEN WINDS ARE GUSTY, OR UND~R ANY OTHER CONDITION WHICH WILL ALLOW DRIFT. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle configurations which dispense spray or fine spray droplets. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use mechanical marking systems only, HUMAN FLAGGERS PROHIBITED! Application with Dry Bulk Pertilizer-The herbicide-dry fertilizer impregnation process (In-Plant and On-Board systems) must be completed only by commercial fertilizer or chemical dealerships properly equipped for this procedure. Contact Monsanto Company for additional information regarding recommended equipment and methods for herbicide-fertilizer impregnation ap9lications. Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated with Micro-Tech or the tank mixtures of Micro-Tech plus atrazine or Micro-Tech plus Bladex on corn. Micro-Tech and these tank mixtures must be applied with 200 to 450 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and shallowly incorporated within 7 days prior to planting. On medium and fine­ textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, Le., reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, applications can be made up to 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide-fertilizer mixture intc the soil. On coarse textured soils, applications can be made up to 14 days prior to planting.

APPLICATION TIMING AND METHODS Early Preplant Surface-This product and some labeled tank mixtures of this product may be applied in no-till and other conservation tillage systems before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before planting =ertain crops. Split applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to planting, with 60 percent of the recommended broadcast rate applied initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Applications made less than 30 days prior to planting can be made either as a split or as a single application. Refer to the individual crop to determine if early preplant application is recommended. If weeds are present at the time of application, apply this product in tank mixture with an appropriate contact herbicide. Observe direction for use, precautions and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. During the planting operation, be careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be reduced. Preplant Incorporation-This product and many of the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed into the soil, using shallow incorporation equipment, any time within 7 days prior to planting. Refer to the crop to be treated in the "DIRECTIONS .FOR USE" section of this label to determine if preplant incorporation is recommended. Apply the recommended treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast application. Precipitation or irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide treatments into contact with germinating weed seedlings. The amount of precipitation or irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance. NOTE: Do not incorporate unless specifically recommended in this label for the crop and herbicide treatment selected. Incorporation of this product and its labeled tank mixtures on coarse soil types may reduce length of weed control due to (Hicro-Tech C 1992-1) 13 02R[·003~ (4/27/92) ! , , ' ""' . ~ I! ? leaching with rainfall or irrigation. Incorporation is not) recommended on coarse soils in the southeastern states. i-Pass Incorporation (Surface Blend™): Shallowly incorporate (Surface Blend) the treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Equipment should be operated at manufacturer's designed speed for incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design, including any drag attachments, must be adequate to avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. soil conditions, including moisture content and crop residue levels, must be suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing with the equipment used for l-pass incorporation. contact Monsanto Company for additional information regard~.ng recommended equipment and methods for Surface Blend application. 2-Pass Incorporation: When 2-pass incorporation is used, shallowly incorporate the herbicide treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil with equipment set to work the soil NO DEEPER THAN 4 INCHES. The second pass must be made at an angle to and no deeper than the first pass to ensure proper distribution of the herbicide treatment in the soil. Pre emergence Surface Application-This product and all labeled tank mixtures may be applied to the soil surface after planting and prior to either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of last preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after treatment, or if treatment is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move ~he herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone. The amount of precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inches is normally adequate. Performance is improved when moisture is received witbin 7 days after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or excessive rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control. CUltivation Information-Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grass~s emerge. If CUltivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment. If a band application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to throw soil into the row, covering the band. THsurface Blend is a trademark of Monsanto Company.
