General Information
This herbicide controls many annual broadleaf and grass weeds in
corn, sorghum, sugarcane, pineapple, and certain oher crops
specified on this label. It is also effective in nancrop areas
and industrial sites for control of most annual dnd many peren
nial broadleaf and grass weeds. This product may be applied

matter.
Note: CIBA-GEiGY does not recommend applications in combination
with other herbicides or oils, except as specifically described
on the label or in literature published by CIBA-GEIGY.
~lication Procedures
Ground application: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped
with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be
certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and are the same size.-.,,,",,-::c.:.:, ... oo_ .. '''''-.----..... -
Following many years· of continuous use of-thi-s..:.p.r.oo.uct-and
chemically related products, biotypes of some of the eeds
listed on this label have been reported which cannot be
effectively controlled by this and r.elated herbicides. Where
this is known or suspected, we recommend the use of this product
in combination with other registered herbicides which are not
triazines. Consult with your state Agricultural Extension
Service for specific recommendations.
Since this product acts mainly through root absorption, its
effectiveness depends on moisture to move it into the root zone.
If weeds develop, a shallow cultivatio or rotary hoeing will
generally result in better weed control.
This product is nonflammable.
Avoid using near adjacent desirable plants or in greenhouses, or
injury may occur.
WherE the use directions give a range of rates, use the lower
rate on coarse-textured soil and soil low in organic matter; use
the higher rate on fine-textur

turer's recommendations.
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre
as follows:
band width in inches
row width in inches x broadcast rate
per acre
amount needed
per acre of field
Aerial application: Use aerial application only where broadcast
applications are specified. Apply in a minimu~ of 1 qt of water
for each quart of AAtrex 5L applied per acre. For postemergence
treatments on corn and sorghum, apply recommended rate in a
minimum of 2 gal of water/A. Avoid applications under condi
tions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where exces
sive spray drift may occur.
Avoid ar~'lication to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders
should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with
skin. and should wash thoroughly before eating and at the end of
each day's operation.
Application in water or liquid fertilizer: Nitrogen solution or
complete liquid fertilizer may replace all or part of the water
as a carrier for preemergence, preplant incorporated, or pre
plant surface ground application on corn and sorghum. Check the
compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer and/or
nitrogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in
nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer after corn or
sorghum emerges, except as noted under Lay-by treatment for
corn, or crop injury may occur.

To determine. the compati.bi.lity·.of. i'vItrex 5L, 'alone "or in tank
mixtures, wi th fluid fe·tt: ilJ zer, ·.pour the products into a small
container of fluid 'fertilizer in the proportions shown helow.
For different spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate
changes in the ingredients.
For each pint uf AAtrex 5L or other liquid or flowable product to
!Je imize this possibility,
observe the following directions.
Use a crop oil containing 1-2% suitable emulsifier, or a suitable
crop oil concentrate containing not more than 20% emulsifier apgJ. i
product to one pint of fluid fertilizer (assuming a volume of 25
gal/A) .
For each pound of dry product to be applied per acre, add 1 level
teaspoon or 5 milliliters of the product to one pint of fluid
fertilizer (assuming a volume of 25 gal/A).
After thorough mixing, let stand for 5 minutes. If the
herbicide/fertilizer combination remains mixed, or can be remixed
readily, the mixture is compatible and can be sprayed. If it is
not compatible, make a water slurry with the herbicide before
adding fertilizer and use the mixture only if this test shows it
is compat i ble.
Application in water plus emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate:
Adding emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate to postemergence
water-based sprays on corn and sorghum may improve weed control.

Mixing procedures - all uses: (1) Be sure sprayer is clean and
not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or
sprayer clogging may result. (2) Fill tank 1/4 full with clean
water, nitrogen solution, or complete liquid fertilizer.
(3) Start agitation. (4) Be certain that the agitation system
is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on
the liquid surface. (5) Pour product directly from container

Center pivot sprinkler application:
Preemergence or postemergence: Apply AAtrex 5L alone, or in
tank mixtures with other herbicides on this label which are
registered for center pivot application, with irrigation water.
Apply either after planting before crop and weeds emerge, or
after crop emergence, but before lay-by (20-30 inches) and
bfore weeds exceed 1.5 inches in height. Apply at rates
recommended on this label. Prepare mixture with a minimum of
1 part water to 1 part product. Injecting a larger volume of a
more dilute slurry per hour will assure more accurate
calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient
agitation to keep herbicide in suspension. Meter slurry into
irrigation water during entire period. Apply in 1/2-1 inch of
water. Use the lower water volume on coarser textured soils,
the higher volume on finer textured soils. More than 1 inch of
water may reduce weed control by moving herbicide below the
effective zone in the sntl. Inject dilute slurry into system
through a positive displacement pump.
Refer to supplemental literature published by CIBA-'GEIGY for
mOre information on calibrating.
Precautions: (1) ply only through irrigation systems con
taining anti-siphon and check valves to prevent contamination of
well during shtdown and overflow of solution tank. (2) Inject
ahead of any right angle turn in the main line to insure ade
guate mixing. (3) Chemical injection P"mps and water pumps must
have interlocking controls to insure simllitaneous shutoff.
iil Application when drift may occur from windy conditions, when
system joints and connections are leaking, or when nozzles are
not providing uniform distribution may cause crop injury.
121 Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap suffi
ciently, unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler
distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injurv may
result.

Broadleaf control: Broadcast 1.9 pt/A plus emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate before pigweed and lambsquarters reach 6 inches in height and before all other weeds reach 4 inches in height. A cultivation may be necessary if all weeds are not controlled or if weeds regrow. Precautions for applications with emulsifiable oil or oil concen trate in water: (1) Do not apply when crop is under stress from prolonged cold, wet weather, poor fertility, or other factors, or when crop is wet and succulent from recent rainfall, or cro? injury may occur. (2) Inbred lines or any breeding stock may be severely injured by applications with emulsifiable oil or oil concentrate. (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 and oil concentrate carefully. Oil contaminated with even a small amount of water may not emulsify properly when added to the tank. (5) Do not make more than one application per season except as recommended for control of yellow nutsedge, quackqrass, and Canada thistle.
