|
|
7) NOTE: Because of its importance, the Agency recommends that the Storage and
|
|
Disposal information be contained in a box.
|
|
8) Please note that marketing claims made on the pesticide label must be substantiated by
|
|
data maintained in your files. If data supporting marketing claims made on the product
|
|
label is not available, then those claims must be removed.
|
|
9) Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company's website on your label, then
|
|
please be aware that the website becomes labeling under the FIFRA, and is subject to
|
|
review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be
|
|
misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(l)(E). 40 CFR
|
|
156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In
|
|
addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product's label, claims
|
|
made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved through the
|
|
registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention
|
|
that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing
|
|
from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred to the EPA's Office of
|
|
Enforcement and Compliance.
|
|
Products shipped after 18 months from the date on this notice or the next printing of the
|
|
label whichever occurs first, must bear the new revised label. If these conditions are not
|
|
complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA. Your
|
|
release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. This label
|
|
supersedes all previously accepted labels. You must submit one copy of the final printed label
|
|
before the product is released for shipment. One copy of the label stamped "Accepted with
|
|

Environmental Hazards
|
|
Do not apply directly to water, 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 wash water or rinsate.
|
|
Ground Water Advisory
|
|
The active ingredient in Medal has the potential 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.
|
|
|
|
f f 6 SI
|
|

|
|
Surface Water Advisory
|
|
The active ingredient in Medal has the potential to contaminate surface water through
|
|
ground spray drift. Under some conditions, the active ingredient 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
|
|
overlaying 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 overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
|
|
Mixing/Loading Instructions
|
|
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 mixed/loaded 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
|
|
withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across
|
|
the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spills or
|
|
equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash water, and rain water that may
|
|
fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad,
|
|
which means the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate
|
|
material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a
|
|
minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
|
|
equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely
|
|
exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment
|
|
capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application
|
|
equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained
|
|
at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to
|
|
vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
|
Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of each product used in tank
|
|
mixtures. Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is
|
|
registered. Refer to and follow the label for each tank mix product used for
|
|
precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions.
|
|
Medal is a selective herbicide recommended as a preplant surface-applied, preplant
|
|
incorporated, or preemergence treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for control of most
|
|
annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in corn (all types), cotton, peanuts, pod
|
|
crops, potatoes, safflowers, grain or forage sorghum, and soybeans.
|
|
Restriction: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings.
|
|
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil containing this
|
|
product to nontarget areas.
|
|
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
2. Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted
|
|
surfaces.
|
|
3. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat
|
|
nontarget crops, unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has occurred between
|
|
application and the first irrigation.
|
|
Where directions specify a Medal tank mixture with AAtrex® formulations, other brands
|
|
of atrazine may be used. Follow the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the
|
|
AAtrex or respective atrazine product label if other brands of atrazine are used.
|
|
Note: Certain states may have established rate limitations for atrazine within specific
|
|
geographical areas. Consult your state lead pesticide control agency for additional
|
|
information. It is a violation of this label to deviate from state use regulations.
|
|
If Medal is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the
|
|
depth of incorporation.
|
|
Dry weather following preemergence application of Medal or a tank mixture may reduce
|
|
effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
|
|
|
|
f f 10 §
|
|
(0
|
|
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, 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.
|
|
Precaution: Injury may occur following the use of Medal under abnormally high soil
|
|
moisture conditions during early development of the crop.
|
|
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 Sandy clay loam
|
|
Loamy sand Silt loam Silty clay loam
|
|
Sandy loam Silt Clay loam
|
|
Sandy clay
|
|
Silty clay
|
|
Clay
|
|
Within rate ranges in the rate tables and elsewhere on this label, use the lower rate on
|
|
soils relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter; use the higher rate on soils
|
|
relatively fine-textured or high in organic matter.
|
|
Note: Medal may be applied preemergence alone, or in combination with tank mix
|
|
partners 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.
|
|
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. Dispose of cleaning
|
|
solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with
|
|
any other materials, or crop damage or clogging of the application device may result.

|
*See Product Information section. Control of these weeds can be erratic, due
|
|
partially to variable weather conditions. Control may be improved by following these
|
|
suggested procedures:
|
|
1. Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds. If Medal
|
|
is to be applied preplant incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate
|
|
Medal if uniform 2-inch incorporation is achieved as recommended under
|
|
Application Procedures.
|
|
2. Plant crop into moist soil immediately after tillage. If Medal is to be used
|
|
preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting.
|
|
3. If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply %-1 inch of
|
|
water. Use lower water volume (14 inch) on coarse-textured soils and higher

ROTATIONAL CROPS
|
|
Do not rotate to food or feed crops other than those listed below.
|
|
Medal Alone: (1) If crop treated with Medal alone is lost, any crop on this label may be
|
|
replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast application of Medal. If the
|
|
original application was banded and the second crop is planted in the untreated row
|
|
middles, a second banded treatment may be applied. (2) Barley, oats, rye, or wheat
|
|
may be planted 4 Yz months following treatment; alfalfa may be planted 4 months
|
|
following application. Tomatoes may be planted 6 months following application. (3) Any
|
|
crop on this label, in addition to root crops, tobacco, barley, buckwheat, milo, oats, rice,
|
|
rye, wheat, cabbage, or peppers, may be planted in the spring following treatment.
|
|
Clover may be seeded 9 months following application. Do not graze or feed forage or
|
|
fodder from cotton to livestock. (4) Following a lay-by treatment or multiple treatments
|
|
applied the previous season, any crop on this label, in addition to tobacco, cabbage, or
|
|
peppers, may be planted in the spring.
|
|
Medal Tank Mixtures: For Rotational Crops restrictions for Medal used in tank
|
|
mixtures, refer to the statements/restrictions above for Medal and to the respective
|
|
product labels of any mixing partner(s) for additional statements/restrictions.
|
|
Important Notes: To avoid injury to rotational alfalfa or clover, (1) Do not apply more
|
|
than 1.9 Ibs. active ingredient per acre (2.0 pts. of Medal) preemergence (including
|
|
preplant surface incorporated, postplant incorporated, etc.), and (2) Do not make lay-by
|
|
or other posterhergent applications of Medal.
|
|
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
|
Application Timing
|
|
Medal alone or in some tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides may be applied for
|
|
weed control in certain crops at various times. Refer to the given crop section of the
|
|
label to determine if application timings listed below are recommended.
|
|
Preplant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, Medal
|
|
alone and some Medal tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 days before planting
|
|
certain crops. Use only split applications for treatments made 30-45 days before
|
|
planting, with 2/3 the recommended broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture applied
|
|
initially and the remaining 1/3 at planting. Treatments less than 30 days before planting
|
|
may be made either as a split or a single application. Refer to individual crop to
|
|
determine if early preplant surface application is recommended. If weeds are present at
|
|
the time of treatment, apply in a tank mixture combination with a contact herbicide (for
|
|
example, Gramoxone Inteon® or Roundup®). Observe directions for use, precautions,
|
|
|
|
and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. To the extent possible, do not
|
|
move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface during planting, or
|
|
weed control will be diminished.
|
|
Preplant Incorporated: Apply Medal 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 Medal
|
|
after bed formation, unless specified otherwise.
|
|
Preemergence: Apply Medal during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but
|
|
before weeds or crops emerge.
|
|
Postemergence: Medal may be applied postemergence to corn, up to 40 inches tall.
|
|
Medal will not provide postemergence weed control so it must be applied to a weed-free
|
|
soil surface or in combination with products that provide postemergence control of weed
|
|
species present at the time of application. Use only where allowed in crop specific
|
|
directions for use.
|
|
Special Application Procedures
|
|
CA Only (Corn, Safflowers, Pod Crops): Preplant Incorporated: Broadcast Medal
|
|
alone or with tank mix partners listed on this label 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). Crops may be planted on
|
|
flat surface or on beds. Caution should be used when forming the beds that only soil
|
|
from the Medal-treated zone is used (i.e., untreated soil should not be brought to soil
|
|
surface). If the application is made to preformed beds, incorporate Medal with a tillage
|
|
implement set to till 2-4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the
|
|
tilled (Medal-treated) soil on the beds. Preemergence: Apply Medal after planting.
|
|
Water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7-10 days.
|
|
Fall Application (Only in IA, MN, ND, SD, Wl, and portions of NE and IL - See
|
|
specific instructions in the Corn, Soybeans, and Pod Crops sections of this label
|
|
for timing of application and other information): Do not apply to frozen ground.
|
|
Use on medium and fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted
|
|
to corn or soybeans the next spring. Ground may be tilled before or after application.
|
|
Do not exceed a 2 to 3-inch incorporation depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a
|
|
spring application is made, the total rate of the fall plus spring applications must not
|
|
exceed the maximum total rate for the specific crop, or illegal residues may result.
|
|
Ground Application: Apply Medal alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a
|
|
minimum of 10 gals, of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified.
|
|
|
|
C -12-
|
|
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For Medal tank mixtures
|
|
with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no
|
|
finer than 50-mesh. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after use.
|
|
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula:
|
|
Band width in inches x Broadcast rate per acre _ Amount needed per acre
|
|
Row width in inches of field

SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
|
LOW CARRIER APPLICATION
|
|
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 5.0 gals, of spray mixture per acre. Maximum
|
|
recommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water
|
|
immediately after each use.
|
|
Note: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and increase application
|
|
accuracy. Care should be taken when using automatic rate controlling devices to spray
|
|
the material within the rated working pressure and flow ranges of the nozzles selected.
|
|
Nozzle screens should be used 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 80° or 110° are
|
|
recommended. Always read and follow the manufacturer's directions for optimum setup
|
|
and performance of their nozzles or tips.
|
|
|
|
-13-
|
|
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
|
Apply Medal in water alone or in tank mixtures with AAtrex, Lexone®, Lorox®, or
|
|
Sencor® in a minimum total volume of 2.0 gals./A by aircraft. Medal may also be
|
|
applied by air in combination with Balan®, Prowl®, or Treflan®. 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 controllable 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 Medal alone or Medal +
|
|
AAtrex by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or
|
|
apply Medal + Lexone, Lorox, or Sencor at a minimum upwind distance of 300 ft. from
|
|
sensitive plants.
|
|
Aerial Drift Management
|
|
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The
|
|
interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for
|
|
spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these
|
|
factors when making decisions.
|
|
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 outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the
|
|
length of the wingspan or rotor.
|
|
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be
|
|
pointed downward 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
|
|
|
|
-14-
|
|
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 3/4 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 ft. 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 downward.
|
|
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate
|
|
for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment
|
|
distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
|
|
|
|
(1 %\-15-
|
|
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 inversions. 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 continue 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, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from
|
|
the sensitive areas).
|
|
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation
|
|
of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin.
|
|
CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
|
Medal alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides 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. Medal
|
|
also may be applied postemergence to the crop and preemergence to weeds in crops
|
|
|
|
r -16-
|
|
where postemergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow all restrictions
|
|
(height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply this product only through a
|
|
center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this product through any other type of
|
|
irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the
|
|
crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions
|
|
about calibration, you should contact State Extension specialists, equipment
|
|
manufacturers, or other experts. 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 appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-
|
|
source contamination from backflow.
|
|
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 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.
|
|
|
|
-17-
|
|
8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part water to 1 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 %-1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (1/2 inch) on coarse-
|
|
textured soils and the higher volume (1 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.
|
|
Precaution for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not
|
|
overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution
|
|
patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result.
|
|
DRY BULK GRANULAR FERTILIZERS
|
|
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with Medal alone or
|
|
selected Medal tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant
|
|
surface application which are used to control weeds in crops on the Medal label and are
|
|
not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers.
|
|
When applying Medal or Medal mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all
|
|
directions for use and precautions on the respective product labels, regarding target
|
|
crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including timing of application),
|
|
and rotational crops.
|
|
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.
|
|
Prepare the herbicide/fertilizer mixtures by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other
|
|
commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Nozzles used to spray Medal and Medal
|
|
mixtures onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform spray coverage. Care
|
|
should be taken to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying
|
|
the walls of the blender.
|
|
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material, such as
|
|
Agsorb® or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials,
|
|
to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture. Absorptive materials should be added only 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. Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive
|
|
material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight.
|
|
|
|
-18-
|
|
Calculate amounts of Medal, AAtrex, AAtrex + Princep®, Balance® PRO, Princep,
|
|
Sencor, Lexone, or Sonalan® by the following formula:
|
|
2,000 pts./A of liquid pts. of liquid or
|
|
Ibs. of fertilizer per acre X or flowable product = flowable product per
|
|
ton of fertilizer
|
|
2,000 x Ibs. of dry _ Ibs. of dry product
|
|
Ibs. of fertilizer per acre product per ton of fertilizer
|
|
Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application (Medal Alone): 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 Medal with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1.0-4.0 pts./gal. of Medal.
|
|
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) Mixtures of Medal and Aromatic 200 must be used 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 Medal 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.
|
|
Restrictions: To avoid potential for explosion, (1) Do not impregnate Medal or Medal
|
|
mixtures on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in
|
|
blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use Medal or Medal mixtures on straight
|
|
limestone, since absorption will not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone
|
|
can be impregnated.
|
|
Application
|
|
Apply 200-700 Ibs. of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. For best results, apply
|
|
the mixture uniformly 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 also result in unsatisfactory 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.
|
|
|
|
-19-
|
|
Restriction: To avoid crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on crops
|
|
where bedding occurs.
|
|
VARIABLE-RATE APPLICATION
|
|
Variable-Rate Broadcast Ground Application for Corn and Soybeans
|
|
Variable-rate technologies may be used for more precise applications. Two additive
|
|
factors have been determined for use in applications using variable-rate technologies.
|
|
One of these factors (A) is directly related to soil texture and the other (B) is related to
|
|
percent organic matter (OM) and soil texture. When these two factors are added
|
|
together, the resulting application rate will be more precise for a soil of a given soil
|
|
texture and organic matter content. Use the formulas below to assure a more precise
|
|
rate for any given area within a field.

|
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
Medal Alone: Mix Medal with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as a spray. Fill the
|
|
spray tank Yz-*A full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of Medal, 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 % full with water, and start agitation; add 2,4-D,
|
|
AAtrex, Balance PRO, Balan, Banvel®, Basagran®, Butoxone®, Butyrac®, Canopy®,
|
|
Caparol® 4L, Command®, Cotoran®, Eptam®, Gemini®, Lexone, Liberty® Herbicide,
|
|
Liberty ATZ Herbicide, Lorox, Lorox Plus®, Marksman®, MSMA, Preview®, Princep,
|
|
Prowl, Pursuit®, AAtrex + Princep, Scepter, Sencor, Sonalan, Starfire®, orTreflan®,
|
|
and allow it to become dispersed; then add Medal; then add Gramoxone Inteon,
|
|
Landmaster BW, or Roundup (glyphosate products) if these products are being used;
|
|
and finally the rest of the water. For tank mixtures with AAtrex, Balance PRO, Banvel,
|
|
Canopy, Caparol 4L, Command, Cotoran*, Eptam, Gemini, Lexone, Lorox, Lorox Plus,
|
|
Marksman, Preview, Princep, Prowl*, Pursuit, AAtrex + Princep, Scepter, Sencor,
|
|
Sonalan, Starfire, or Treflan, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as
|
|
carrier, except in the AAtrex postemergence and the Banvel postemergence tank mixes.
|
|
For tank mixtures with AAtrex, see additional mixing instructions on the AAtrex label.
|
|
For each mixture, check compatibility with fluid fertilizer, as described below, before
|
|
mixing in spray tank. For all tank mixtures, agitate during mixing and application to
|
|
maintain a uniform suspension.
|
|
*See Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with Cotoran and with AAtrex or
|
|
Princep + Prowl under the appropriate tank mixture section.

COMPATIBILITY TEST
|
|
Ajar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Medal with
|
|
other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals./A. 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.
|
|
Test Procedure
|
|
1. Add 1.0 pt. of carrier (fertilizer or water) to each of 2 one qt. 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 of a compatibility agent approved
|
|
for this use, such as Compex or Unite (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2.0 pts./100 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 pesticides first, flowables next, and
|
|
emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to
|
|
thoroughly mix.
|
|
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times
|
|
to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15-30 minutes and then look for separation, large
|
|
flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of
|
|
incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray
|
|
mixture by comparing the two 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 Yz
|
|
the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other 1/4 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 in this label.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
|
|
CORN (ALL TYPES) - MEDAL ALONE
|
|
Apply Medal, either preplant surface, preplan! incorporated, preemergence, or lay-by,
|
|
using the appropriate rate specified below.
|
|
PREPLANT SURFACE-APPLIED
|
|
Refer to instructions for use of Medal alone under Application Procedures.
|
|
Fall Application:
|
|
1. Apply after September 30 in ND, SD, MN, Wl, and north of Route 30 in IA.
|
|
2. Apply after October 15 north of Route 91 in NE and south of Route 30 in IA.
|
|
3. Apply after October 31 north of Route 136 in IL.
|
|
In all locations, apply to crop stubble after harvest when the sustained soil temperature
|
|
at a 4-inch depth is less than 55°F and falling. In minimum-till or no-tillage systems on
|
|
soils having greater than 2.5% organic matter, use 1.67-2.0 pts./A on medium-textured
|
|
and 2.0 pts./A on fine-textured soils. Do not apply to frozen ground. A tillage operation
|
|
may precede the application. A fall and/or a spring tillage may follow application, but do
|
|
not exceed an incorporation depth greater than 2-3 inches. Minimize furrow and ridge
|
|
formation in the tillage operations. Note: If a spring application is made, the total rate
|
|
of the fall plus spring applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for corn, or
|
|
illegal residues may result.
|
|
Use on medium- and fine-textured soils with minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems in
|
|
CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, SO, TN, Wl, and WY. Apply 2/3 the
|
|
recommended rate of Medal (1.67 pts./A on medium soils and 2.0 pts./A on fine soils)
|
|
as a split treatment 30-45 days before planting and the remainder at planting.
|
|
Applications made less than 30 days prior to planting may be as either a split or single
|
|
treatment. Apply 1.33 pts./A on coarse soils not more than 2 weeks prior to planting.
|
|
Note: If a spring application is made, the total rate of the fall plus spring application
|
|
must not exceed the maximum total rate for corn, or illegal residues may result.
|
|
On medium- and fine-textured soils with minimum- or no-tillage systems in CT, DE, MA,
|
|
MD, ME, Ml, NH, NY, OH, PA, Rl, VA, VT, and WV, preplant surface applications may
|
|
be applied following the directions for use above. If the amount of rainfall results in
|
|
unsatisfactory length of weed control following the earlier treatment, a postemergence
|
|
application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide may be
|
|
used, i.e., AAtrex, Beacon®, Bicep MAGNUM®, Bicep II MAGNUM®, Exceed®,
|
|
Accent®, Banvel, Basagran, bromoxynil (Brominal® or Buctril®), or 2,4-D. If the
|
|
postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used preplant surface-applied, do not
|
|
|
|
( -23-
|
|
exceed the total labeled rate for corn on a given soil texture. Observe all directions for
|
|
use, precautions, and limitations on the label of the postemergent herbicide.
|
|
PREPLAN! INCORPORATED OR PREEMERGENCE
|
|
Follow instructions for use of Medal alone under Application Procedures. On coarse
|
|
soils, apply 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal if organic matter content is less than 3%, or
|
|
1.33 pts./A if organic matter content is 3% or greater. On medium soils, apply 1.33-
|
|
1.67 pts./A of Medal. On fine soils, apply 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal if organic matter
|
|
content is less than 3%, or 1.67-2.0 pts./A if organic matter content is 3% or greater.
|
|
POSTEMERGENCE OR LAY-BY
|
|
To extend the duration of weed control in corn, a maximum rate of 2.0 pts./A of Medal
|
|
may be applied after corn emergence until the corn plants reach 40 inches in height,
|
|
following any preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
|
|
herbicide application, including Medal. For best results, applications should be made to
|
|
soil free of emerged weeds and directed toward the base of corn plants in excess of 5
|
|
inches tall. The total Medal rate applied on corn during any one crop year should not
|
|
exceed 3.9 pts./A, depending on soil texture.
|
|
Note for all applications to corn: To avoid possible illegal residues: (1) do not graze
|
|
or feed forage from treated areas for 30 days following application and (2) do not
|
|
harvest sweet corn early from treated areas for 30 days following application.
|
|
PROBLEM WEED CONTROL DIRECTIONS
|
|
Shattercane, Wild Proso Millet, Woolly Cupgrass, and Eclipta - Partial Control:
|
|
For more consistent partial control of shattercane, wild proso millet, woolly cupgrass, or
|
|
eclipta, apply 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal preplant incorporated followed by 1.0-1.33 pts./A
|
|
of Medal preemergence. Make the preemergence application during or after planting^
|
|
but before weeds and corn emerge. Apply the 1.33 pts./A rate of Medal when a heavy
|
|
infestation of shattercane, wild proso millet, woolly cupgrass, or eclipta is expected. A
|
|
shallow cultivation may be needed to control any late emerging weeds.
|
|
Woolly Cupgrass and Wild Proso Millet Control Program: For control of these
|
|
species, use the following 3-step program: (1) Apply Medal early preplant, preplant
|
|
incorporated, or preemergence at 1.67 pts./A on medium soils and 2.0 pts./A on fine-
|
|
textured soils, up to the maximum label rate. Lightly incorporate with a rotary hoe if
|
|
rainfall does not occur within 5-7 days; (2) Apply a postemergence tank mix of Beacon
|
|
at 0.38 oz./A or Exceed at 1 packet per 4 acres plus Accent SP at 0.33 oz./A plus 1.0 qt.
|
|
of crop oil concentrate plus 1.0 gal./A of 28% nitrogen, or the equivalent amount of
|
|
ammonium sulfate, when grasses are 2-3 inches tall and the corn is at least 4 inches
|
|
tall; and (3) Cultivate 14-21 days after the postemergence application.
|
|
|

|
|
MEDAL FOUNDATION PROGRAMS FOR PLANNED TWO-PASS WEED CONTROL
|
|
SYSTEMS IN ROUNDUP READY® AND GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT CORN
|
|
Medal may be applied preplan! incorporated or preemergence in Roundup Ready or
|
|
glyphosate tolerant corn at rates down to 1.0 pts./A on all soils when followed by a
|
|
planned postemergence application of an approved glyphosate based product-
|
|
examples include Touchdown and Roundup UltraMax. Follow all other directions for
|
|
use, precautions and restrictions listed for Medal on this label. The glyphosate product
|
|
must be registered for postemergence applications in Roundup Ready or glyphosate
|
|
tolerant corn and be applied according to the weed and crop timings, methods,
|
|
precautions and restrictions listed on the glyphosate containing product label. When
|
|
used in this way, Medal will provide reduced competition of the weeds listed as
|
|
controlled in the Product Information section of this label for a period of 30 or more
|
|
days, thus improving the timing flexibility and effectiveness of the glyphosate based
|
|
product application.
|
|
Restrictions and Precautions: (1) Do not apply more than the labeled application rate
|
|
for a given soil texture per year, either as a single or split treatment, or illegal residues
|
|
may result. (2) In corn, Medal may be used up to 2.6 pts./A as either a preplant surface,
|
|
preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment on soils having an organic matter
|
|
content between 6% and 20%. (3) In the event of escape of annual weeds following a
|
|
preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment of Medal, follow
|
|
with a postemergence application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass
|
|
weed herbicide, i.e., AAtrex, Beacon, Bicep, Exceed, Accent, Banvel, Basagran,
|
|
Brominal, Buctril, or 2,4-D. If the postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used
|
|
in the earlier treatment, do not exceed the total labeled rate for corn on a given soil
|
|
texture. (4) Brominal or Buctril may be applied postemergence alone or in tank mix
|
|
combination with AAtrex. Do not exceed 1.2 Ibs. a.i./A of AAtrex in tank mix
|
|
combination with Brominal or Buctril postemergence. Refer to the AAtrex, Brominal,
|
|
and Buctril labels for specific rates and precautions. (5) Do not use Medal on peat or
|
|
muck soils.
|
|
CORN - MEDAL COMBINATIONS
|
|
Medal in any tank mixture for corn may be applied in water or fluid fertilizer before corn
|
|
emerges. Use only water as a carrier when Medal is applied after corn emergence.
|
|
Restrictions: For all applications to corn: (1) do not graze or feed forage from treated
|
|
areas for 30 days following application, or possible illegal residues may result and (2) do
|
|
not harvest sweet corn ears from treated areas for 30 days following application.
|
|
IMPORTANT: FOR TANK MIXTURES WITH AATREX (OR OTHER BRANDS OF
|
|
ATRAZINE) - If applying Medal in tank mixture with AAtrex, all the restrictions
|
|
and rate limitations on the AAtrex label must be followed if more
|
|
restrictive/protective than those on this label. In addition, if AAtrex is/must be
|
|
|
|
-25-
|
|
applied at rates lower than those specified on this label, broadleaf weed control
|
|
may be affected. Refer to the AAtrex label for weeds controlled at the reduced
|
|
rates.

Shattercane and Wild Proso Millet- Partial Control
|
|
For more consistent partial control of shattercane or wild proso millet, where Medal is
|
|
applied in tank mixture or sequentially with other registered corn herbicides, the
|
|
following applications may be made:
|
|
1. Apply 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal + 2.0 Ibs. a.i./A of AAtrex or Princep preplant
|
|
incorporated, followed by 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal preemergence. Make the
|
|
preemergence application during or after planting, but before weeds and corn
|
|
emerge.
|
|
2. Apply Medal at 1.33 pts./A alone or in tank mix combination with up to 2.0 Ibs.
|
|
a.i./A of AAtrex or Princep, preplant incorporated. Do not exceed the total rate
|

|
|
Medal + 1.8 Ibs./A of AAtrex Nine-O on medium soils, or 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal +
|
|
1.8-2.2 Ibs./A** of AAtrex Nine-O on fine soils. Apply this tank mixture before grass and
|
|
broadleaf weeds pass the 2-leaf stage and before corn exceeds 5 inches in height.
|
|
Application to weeds larger than the 2-leaf stage will generally result in unsatisfactory
|
|
control.
|
|
Lay-by: Apply to corn plants not more than 12 inches tall. Applications to corn in
|
|
excess of 5 inches should be directed to the base of the corn plants; whereas,
|
|
applications to corn plants less than 5 inches tall may be made over the top.
|
|
Occasionally, some corn leaf burn may result, but this should not affect later growth or
|
|
yield. Do not apply this postemergence tank mixture in fluid fertilizer, or severe crop
|
|
injury may occur.
|
|
*When using AAtrex 4L, use equivalent rates. One Ib. of AAtrex Nine-O = 1.8 pts. of
|
|
AAtrex 4L.
|
|
**For better control of cocklebur, morningglory, velvetleaf, and yellow nutsedge on fine-
|
|
textured soils above 3% organic matter, apply 2.2 Ibs./A of AAtrex Nine-O, or
|
|
equivalent rate of AAtrex 4L, with 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal.
|
|
|
|
r c 53 -31-
|
|
Tank mixtures of Medal + AAtrex may be applied following use of any registered
|
|
preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence corn herbicide,
|
|
including Medal + AAtrex.
|
|
Note: The total Medal rate should not exceed 3.9 pts., nor the AAtrex rate more than
|
|
2.5 Ibs. a.i./A during any one crop year, or illegal residues may result. Refer to the
|
|
AAtrex label for geographic, soil-texture, and rotational restrictions.
|
|
TANK MIXTURE WITH BANVEL
|
|
Preemergence: Use this tank mixture only on field corn which is flat-planted (no
|
|
furrows) in CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, MN, NE, OH, SD, and Wl.
|
|
In addition to the weeds controlled by Medal alone, Medal + Banvel, applied
|
|
preemergence, also controls lambsquarters, ragweed, smartweed, cocklebur*,
|
|
jimsonweed*, morningglory*, and velvetleaf*.
|
|
*Partially controlled.
|
|
Apply Medal + Banvel preemergence. Broadcast 1.0 pt./A of Banvel with 1.33 pts./A of
|
|
Medal on medium soils, or with 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal on fine soils. Do not apply on
|
|
coarse soils or on soils with less than 2.5% organic matter. Apply this tank mixture to
|
|
the soil surface at planting or after planting, but before corn emerges. Plant corn at
|
|
least 1.5 inches deep and apply behind planting equipment, avoiding incorporation by
|
|
the planter wheel or other seed covering device. Do not incorporate before corn
|
|
emergence. If it is necessary to rotary hoe to break the soil crust, do not disturb the soil
|
|
more than Vz inch deep.
|
|
Postemergence for Control of Pigweed (Mid-Atlantic states, including DE, MD, PA,
|
|
VA, and WV): Apply 1.0-1.5 pts. of Medal + 0.5-1.0 pt./A of Banvel or 1.0-2.0 pts./A of
|
|
Banvel II by ground equipment when pigweed plants are less than 3 inches tall and
|
|
before corn exceeds 5 inches in height in a minimum of 20 gals, of spray per acre. Use
|
|
the lower rate on coarse-textured and low organic matter soils. Use the higher rate on
|
|
fine-textured and high organic matter soils.
|
|
Restrictions and Precautions: (1) Avoid drift to sensitive nontarget plants, such as
|
|
soybeans, during application, or injury may occur. (2) Do not apply with aircraft.
|

WITH GRAMOXONE INTEON, LANDMASTER BW, OR ROUNDUP FOR MINIMUM-
|
|
TILLAGE OR NO-TILLAGE SYSTEMS
|
|
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where corn is planted directly into a cover crop,
|
|
stale seedbed, established sod, or previous crop residues, the contact herbicides
|
|
Gramoxone Inteon, Landmaster BW, or Roundup should be tank mixed with Medal,
|
|
Medal + AAtrex, Medal + Princep, or Medal + AAtrex + Princep. See Comment No. 7
|
|
|
|
-33-
|
|
following Chart 1. The Medal + AAtrex or Princep, or Medal + AAtrex + Princep portion
|
|
of the tank mixture provides preemergence control of the weeds listed on this label in
|
|
the tank mixture section for Medal + AAtrex or Princep, or Medal + AAtrex + Princep
|
|
- Preplant Surface, Preplant Incorporated, or Preemergence.
|
|
Application: Apply before, during, or after planting, but before the corn emerges, at the
|
|
rates specified below. Add Gramoxone Inteon, Landmaster BW, or Roundup at the
|
|
following broadcast rates:
|
|
Gramoxone Inteon: 1.5-2.0, 2.0-2.5, or 2.5-3.0 pts./A to 1 -3, 3-6, or 6-inch tall weeds,
|
|
respectively. Apply surfactant at 1.0 or 2.0 pts./100 gals, of spray mixture with 75% or
|
|
greater or 50-74% nonionic active ingredient, respectively. This treatment will not
|
|
control weeds taller than 6 inches.
|
|
Restriction: Do not apply combinations containing Gramoxone Inteon in suspension-
|
|
type liquid fertilizers, because the activity of paraquat will be reduced.
|
|
Landmaster BW: 27-54 oz./A depending on weed species and size. See the
|
|
Landmaster BW label for weeds controlled, recommended rates for specific weeds, and
|
|
other information concerning use.
|
|
Roundup: See the Roundup or Roundup RT label for weeds controlled, recommended
|
|
rates, and other use directions.
|
|
Apply in 20-60 gals, of water or fluid fertilizer per acre with ground equipment.
|
|
On coarse soils, apply 1.0 pt./A of Medal with 1.3 Ibs. of AAtrex Nine-O* or Princep
|
|
Caliber 90*, or with 0.7 Ib. of AAtrex Nine-O** + 0.7 Ib. of Princep Caliber 90**. On
|
|
medium soils, apply 1.33 pts./A of Medal with 1.8 Ibs. of AAtrex Nine-O or Princep
|
|
Caliber 90, or with 0.9 Ib. of AAtrex Nine-O + 0.9 Ib. of Princep Caliber 90. On fine
|
|
soils***, apply 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal with 1.8-2.2 Ibs. of AAtrex Nine-O or Princep
|
|
Caliber 90, or with 0.9-1.1 Ibs. of AAtrex Nine-O + 0.9-1.1 Ibs. of Princep Caliber 90.
|
|
*Use Princep in preference to AAtrex when heavy infestations of crabgrass or fall
|
|
panicum are expected.
|
|
**When using the tank mixture of Medal + AAtrex Nine-O + Princep Caliber 90, use
|
|
equal rates of AAtrex and Princep as shown when heavy broadleaf weed infestations
|
|
are expected. When heavy infestations of crabgrass or fall panicum are expected,
|
|
use a 1:2 ratio of AAtrex + Princep instead of the 1:1 ratio given. (Example: Total
|
|
AAtrex Nine-O + Princep Caliber 90 = 1.8 Ibs./A, use 0.6 Ib. of AAtrex + 1.2 Ibs. of
|
|
Princep, respectively.) Refer to Comment No. 2 following Chart 1 for AAtrex 4L and
|
|
Princep 4L conversions.
|
|
***For cocklebur, yellow nutsedge, and velvetleaf control on fine-textured soils above
|
|
3% organic matter, apply 2.25 Ibs./A of AAtrex Nine-O, or equivalent rate of AAtrex
|
|
4L, or the same total amount of AAtrex + Princep, with 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal.

TANK MIXTURE WITH AATREX; OR AATREX + 2,4-D; OR AATREX + 2,4-0 +
|
|
BANVEL FOR MINIMUM-TILLAGE OR NO-TILLAGE SYSTEMS
|
|
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where corn is planted directly into a cover crop,
|
|
stale seedbed, established sod, or previous crop residues, Medal applied in combination
|
|
with AAtrex will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply Medal + AAtrex before,
|
|
during, or after planting, but before corn emerges, according to the rates in Table 1
|
|
Where heavy crop residues exist, add 0.8-1.6 pts./A of an appropriately labeled 3.8 Ibs.
|
|
a.i./gal. of 2,4-D amine (such as Weedar 64, Weedar 64A, DMA-4 Herbicide,
|
|
Weedone® 638, or Formula 40) to the spray tank last and apply in a minimum of 25
|
|
gals, of carrier per acre.
|
|
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied before corn
|
|
emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds, and therefore are recommended
|
|
instead of water. Add X-77 surfactant at 1.0-2.0 qts./100 gals, of diluted spray, or
|
|
another appropriate surfactant at its recommended rate, or add crop oil concentrate plus
|
|
28% liquid nitrogen (or equivalent). Apply before weeds exceed 3 inches in height. If
|
|
alfalfa is present, add Banvel to the spray mixture at 0.33-0.5 pt./A and apply before
|
|
alfalfa exceeds 6 inches in height.
|
|
For fields with existing sod grasses (e.g., bromegrass, orchardgrass, rye, or timothy),
|
|
when existing weeds exceed 3 inches in height or when very dry conditions exist, add
|
|
Gramoxone Inteon at the rate of 2.5 pts./A in place of or in addition to 2,4-D as indicated
|
|
above. Do not apply Gramoxone Inteon in suspension-type liquid fertilizer. Observe all
|
|
directions for use, precautions, and limitations on the respective product labels when
|
|
applying these products in tank mix combination. Use Balance PRO combinations only
|
|
on field corn.
|
|
TANK MIXTURE WITH MARKSMAN IN CONSERVATION TILLAGE - FIELD AND
|
|
SILAGE CORN
|
|
In conservation tillage systems where corn is planted directly into a cover crop or
|
|
previous crop residue, Medal + Marksman will kill most emerged small annual weeds.
|
|
Apply Medal + Marksman before, during, or after planting, but before corn emergence
|
|
on medium and fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter. For fields with existing
|
|
vegetation exceeding 3 inches in height or when very dry conditions exist, add
|
|
Gramoxone Inteon at its standard rate. Medal + Marksman may be applied
|
|
postemergence to corn less than 3 inches tall and before weedy grasses exceed the 2-
|
|
leaf stage.
|
|
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied before corn
|
|
emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds. Do not apply Gramoxone Inteon in
|
|
suspension-type liquid fertilizer or use on emerged corn.
|
|
|
|
r si si-35-
|
|
Refer to the Marksman label and follow all directions, limitations, precautions, and
|
|
information regarding application and use in corn.
|
|
TANK MIXTURE WITH BALANCE PRO - FIELD CORN ONLY
|
|
Medal and Balance PRO have a complementary crop response and weed control profile
|
|
which allows various tank mix rate combinations to be considered. The addition of
|
|
Balance PRO will improve the control of certain problem weeds, including Texas
|
|
panicum, woolly cupgrass, and wild proso millet. Medal improves both the duration and
|
|
spectrum of annual grass and small seeded broadleaf weed control, in particular foxtails
|
|
(yellow foxtail), witchgrass, and yellow nutsedge.
|
|
To reduce the risk of an adverse crop response, the Balance PRO label does not allow
|
|
applications to coarse textured soils with less than 1.5% organic matter and warns
|
|
about applications to all soils with less than 1.5% organic matter or with pH greater than
|
|
7.5, as well as applications made to areas in fields with clay knolls, eroded hillsides, and
|
|
exposed subsoil. Medal has no adverse crop response warnings or use restrictions.
|
|
Listed below are compensating rate options for combinations of Medal and Balance
|
|
PRO, i.e. higher rates of Medal are combined with lower rates of Balance PRO, and
|
|
visa versa. Select a rate option for Medal plus Balance PRO by weighing the intensity
|
|
of problem weed pressure (population presence and density) and your acceptance for
|
|
risk of an adverse crop response. For example, where Texas panicum, woolly
|
|
cupgrass, or wild proso millet are a primary target weed, use a tank mix combination
|
|
with a higher Balance PRO rate for the given soil type. Where your acceptance of an
|
|
adverse crop response risk is low and/or a more general weed spectrum is targeted
|
|
(especially yellow foxtail, witchgrass or yellow nutsedge), use a tank mix combination
|
|
with a higher Medal rate for the given soil type. Where a target weed is listed as
|
|
controlled on both product labels, a tank mix combination option including intermediate
|
|
rates of both products may be used. Where a target weed is listed as controlled on only
|
|
one product label, do not apply a rate of that product below what is recommended for
|
|
that, weed on the individual product label, or unacceptable control may result. Follow all
|
|
other directions for use, rate limitations, precautions and restrictions on both the Medal
|
|
and Balance PRO product labels.
|
|
Medal plus Balance PRO tank mix rate options when applied pre-plant (incorporated or
|
|
surface applied) up to 7 day before planting or preemergence in field corn:
|
|
For coarse textured soils, where 1.5 or 1.88 oz./A of Balance PRO is used, 1.0-1.33
|
|
pts./A of Medal may be applied. Do not use Balance PRO on coarse textured soils with
|
|
less than 1.5% organic matter.
|
|
For medium textured soils, where 1.5 oz./A of Balance PRO is used, rates as low as
|
|
1.33 pts./A of Medal may be applied. Where 1.88 or 2.25 oz./A of Balance PRO is
|
|
used, rates as low as 1.0 pts./A of Dual II Magnum may be applied. Medal can be used
|
|
in combinations with Balance PRO at rates up to 1.67 pts./A on medium textured soils.
|
|
|
|
( S? 81-36-
|
|
For fine textured soils, where 1.5 oz./A of Balance PRO is used, rates as low as 1.33
|
|
pts./A of Medal may be applied if the soil organic matter is less than 3% - if the soil
|
|
organic matter content is 3% or greater, 1.67 pts./A of Medal should be applied. Where
|
|
1.88 or 2.25 oz./A of Balance PRO is used, rates as low as 1.33 pts./A of Medal may be
|
|
applied. Where 3.0 oz./A or more of Balance PRO are used, rates as low as 1.0 pts./A
|

TANK MIXTURES FOR POSTEMERGENCE SALVAGE WEED CONTROL IN FIELD
|
|
CORN ONLY
|
|
For postemergence control of weeds in specific types of field corn, the Medal
|
|
combinations listed below may be used. Full season weed control from early preplant,
|
|
preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatments can lead to maximum yield potential
|
|
under competition-free conditions. However, if control of emerged weeds is needed, a
|
|
postemergence program listed below can be applied to provide residual control for the
|
|
remainder of the season.
|
|
Restrictions: (1) Follow all label directions, instructions, precautions, and limitations
|
|
for each product used. (2) Do not use fluid fertilizer with these mixtures or corn injury
|
|
may occur. (3) For each tank mixture with Medal, apply only to the specific field corn
|
|
type specified on the tank mix product label. (4) In-row weed control may be reduced
|
|
because of lack of coverage when applied to corn over 4 inches tall.

Medal preplant incorporated or preemergence in Area 2** at 1.0 pt./A on sandy loams,
|
|
1.0-1.33 pts./A on medium soils, or 1.33 pts./A on fine soils. Apply Medal
|
|
postemergence to cotton and preemergence to weeds at 0.5-1.33 pts./A, according to
|
|
the state rate limitations in the following Postemergence section. Do not use on
|
|
sands and loamy sand.
|
|
*Area 1 = AR, KS, LA, MS, TN, and Bootheel of MO
|
|
**Area 2 = NM, OK, and TX
|
|
Preplant Incorporated (NM, OK, and TX Only): Apply to the soil and incorporate into
|
|
the top inch of soil immediately before planting, at planting, or after planting, but before
|
|
crop or weeds emerge. Use a rolling cultivator or similar implement to uniformly
|
|
incorporate not more than 1 inch deep. Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow
|
|
irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. Where
|
|
|
|
-39-
|
|
furrow irrigation is used, wet the top of the bed for best results. If the crop is to be
|
|
planted on beds, apply and incorporate after bed formation. Cotton should be planted
|
|
below the zone of incorporation; i.e., at least 1 inch on fine soils and 1.5 inches on
|
|
coarse and medium soils. If incorporated prior to planting, use a planter that will result
|
|
in a minimum of soil disturbance.
|
|
Note: For best control of yellow nutsedge and suppression of seedling johnsongrass,
|
|
apply Medal preplant incorporated at the maximum rate for the soil texture, whether
|
|
applied alone or mixed with Caparol 4L.
|
|
Preemergence: Apply to the soil surface at planting or after planting, but before weeds
|
|
or crop emerge.
|
|
Postemergence: Apply Medal broadcast over-the-top or directed to the soil surface
|
|
according to the rate and cotton height limitations listed below by state. Application
|
|
before weeds emerge or after clean cultivation to remove existing weeds is necessary
|
|
since Medal will not control emerged weeds. Medal postemergence may be applied
|
|
over any previous registered herbicide treatment. In sprinkler-irrigated areas, sprinkler
|
|
irrigate after application with !4-1 inch of water (Vz inch on coarse-textured soils to 1 inch
|
|
on fine-textured soils) to incorporate Medal. In furrow-irrigated areas, apply Medal,
|
|
incorporate with a rolling cultivator or similar implement that provides uniform shallow
|
|
incorporation (2 inches or less), and then irrigate. In non-irrigated areas, if at least Yz
|
|
inch of rainfall does not occur within 10 days after application, cultivate with a rolling
|
|
cultivator or similar implement that provides uniform shallow incorporation of Medal.
|
|
VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and AL: Apply Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A when cotton is 3-12
|
|
inches tall.
|
|
TN, AR, KS, MS, MO, and LA: Apply Medal at 0.5-1.33 pts./A when cotton is 3-12
|
|
inches tall.
|
|
TX, OK, NM, AZ, CA, and Clay Soils in AR: Apply Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A when
|
|
cotton is 3-12 inches tall, but before August 1.
|
|
Multiple Applications: Where weed pressure is heavy, difficult-to-control species are
|
|
expected, or reinfestation may occur, and a weed control program is used, multiple
|
|
applications of Medal are effective when used as part of the weed control program.
|
|
Apply as a preplant incorporated or preemergence treatment and follow with an
|
|
application postemergence to cotton before weeds emerge or after clean cultivation to
|
|
remove existing weeds, since Medal will not control emerged weeds. Cotton should be
|
|
at least 3 inches tall at the postemergence timing. Apply Medal postemergence over a

COTTON - MEDAL COMBINATIONS
|
|
TANK MIXTURE WITH CAPAROL 4L
|
|
Medal tank mixtures with Caparol 4L may be applied preplant incorporated or
|
|
preemergence in water or fluid fertilizer. When fluid fertilizer is used as a carrier for
|
|
Medal, either alone or in combination with Caparol 4L, mix only the amount that will be
|
|
sprayed in one operation. These mixtures should not be allowed to stand without
|
|
agitation. Only water may be used as a carrier for postemergence-directed application.
|
|
In addition to those weeds controlled by Medal alone, Medal + Caparol 4L, applied
|
|
preplant incorporated or preemergence, also controls the following weeds: junglerice,
|
|
wild oats, annual morningglory, groundcherry, hairy nightshade, lambsquarters, malva,
|
|
mustard, prickly sida (teaweed), purslane, ragweed, and shallow-germinating seedlings
|
|
of cocklebur and coffeeweed. As a postemergence-directed application, Caparol
|
|
provides postemergence control and residual control of weeds on its label, while Medal
|
|
provides residual control of weed species on its label. Medal will not control emerged
|
|
weeds.
|
|
Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Apply Medal + Caparol 4L, either preplant
|
|
incorporated or preemergence, using the appropriate rate from Table 3. Cotton should
|
|
be planted below the zone of incorporation; i.e., at least 1.0 inch on fine soils and 1.5
|
|
inches on coarse and medium soils. If incorporated before planting, use a planter that
|
|
will result in a minimum of soil disturbance. ,

|
|
Precautions and Restrictions: (1) To avoid concentration in the seed furrow, do not
|
|
make broadcast applications of Medal + Caparol 4L to cotton planted in furrows more
|
|
than 2 inches deep. Band applications may be made to cotton planted in furrows
|
|
deeper than 2 inches, but band width should not exceed the width of the bottom of the
|
|
furrow. To avoid crop injury, (2) Do not apply on sand or loamy sand soils, or in areas
|
|
where water is likely to "pond" over the bed; (3) Do not apply in cut areas of newly
|
|
leveled fields, or in areas of excess salt; (4) Do not apply to glandless cotton varieties;
|
|
and (5) Do not apply on Taloka silt loam. (6) Do not use in Games County, TX.
|
|
Restriction: Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal

Refer to the Caparol 4L label for further instructions and limitations.
|
|
TANK MIXTURE WITH COTORAN DF
|
|
Medal may be applied in tank mixture with Cotoran DF preemergence for control of
|
|
those weeds controlled by Medal alone and those as listed on the Cotoran DF label.
|
|
This combination will also control spotted spurge, hyssop spurge, nodding spurge, and
|
|
prostrate spurge. Apply to the soil surface at planting or after planting, but before
|
|
weeds or crop emerge, using the appropriate rates from Table 4. The tank mixture may
|
|
be applied postemergence to cotton, but preemergence to weeds, or it may be applied
|
|
postemergence to both cotton and broadleaf weeds for control of weeds on the Cotoran
|
|
label. Apply as a directed, semi-directed, or over-the-top spray. Medal will not control
|
|
emerged weeds, but will provide preemergence control of species on its label.
|
|
Mixing Instructions: Incompatibility may occur when tank mixing Medal and Cotoran
|
|
DF. To help overcome this condition, fill the spray tank 1/4 full with water or fluid
|
|
fertilizer and start agitation, add the Cotoran DF and allow it to become dispersed. Add
|
|
X-77 at 0.5% volume/volume final spray (4.0 pts./100 gals.), then add the Medal and
|
|
finally the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Agitate during mixing and application to
|
|
maintain a uniform suspension. Do not use fluid fertilizer as a carrier for
|
|
postemergence applications.

TANK MIXTURE OF MEDAL OR MEDAL + COTORAN WITH GRAMOXONE INTEON
|
|
OR ROUNDUP FOR MINIMUM-TILLAGE OR NO-TILLAGE SYSTEMS
|
|
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where cotton is planted directly into a cover
|
|
crop, stale seedbed, or previous crop residues, the contact herbicides Gramoxone
|
|
Inteon or Roundup may be added to a tank mix of either Medal or Medal + Cotoran.
|
|
When used as directed, the Gramoxone Inteon portion of the tank mixture controls most
|
|
emerged weeds and suppresses many perennial weeds. Roundup combinations will
|
|
control emerged annual and perennial weeds when applied as directed on the Roundup
|
|
label. The Medal and Medal + Cotoran portion of the tank mixture provides
|
|
preemergence control of the weeds listed on this label in the Medal and Medal +
|
|
Cotoran sections, respectively.
|
|
Refer to the label of each product used in combination and observe the planting details,
|
|
information regarding application, geographical restrictions, and all other precautions
|
|
and limitations. Refer to Mixing Instructions under Tank Mixture with Cotoran DF

|
Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A may be tank mixed with glyphosate products at labeled rated
|
|
and applied from emergence up through the third trifoliate leaf stage of Roundup Ready
|
|
or glyphosate-tolerant soybeans. Medal alone will not control emerged weeds. Use this
|
|
treatment only on soybeans designated for use with glyphosate (e.g., Roundup Ready
|
|
or glyphosate-tolerant soybeans). The glyphosate product must be registered for
|
|
postemergence use in Roundup Ready or glyphosate-tolerant soybeans.
|
|
Tank Mixture with Pursuit
|
|
Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A may be tank mixed with Pursuit at labeled rates and applied

|
|
Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A may be tank mixed with glufosinate products at labeled rates
|
|
and applied from emergence up through the third trifoliage leaf stage of soybeans.
|
|
Medal alone will not control emerged weeds. Use this treatment only on soybeans
|
|
designated for use with glufosinate (e.g., Liberty Link).
|
|
Note: Follow the tank mix product label for adjuvant recommendations. The use of
|
|
COC or UAN with Medal may result in temporary crop injury. To avoid possible illegal
|
|

Ground Water Advisory
|
|
The active ingredient in Medal has the potential 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
|
|
The active ingredient in Medal has the potential to contaminate surface water through
|
|
ground spray drift. Under some conditions, the active ingredient 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
|
|
overlaying 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 overlaying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water.
|
|
