User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the
toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and
put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves
before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing.
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
-4-
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
volume (1 inch) on fine-textured soils. Also, refer to the section on Center Pivot
Irrigation Application for this method of applying Medal.
4. If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days after planting
and application, weed control may be decreased. Under these conditions, a
uniform, shallow cultivation is recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
**For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 1.33 pts./A and apply
preemergence.
***For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 1.33 pts./A and apply through a
center pivot irrigation system.
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
For information on applying in lower volumes of carrier, see Low Carrier Application
section.
For application by air or through center pivot systems, see Aerial Drift Management
and Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information sections.
For information on impregnating dry fertilizer, see Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizer section.
For information on application using variable-rate technologies, see Variable-Rate
Application section.
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.
For directions on how to conduct a compatibility test, see Compatibility Test section.
f -21-
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.
-24-
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.

4L combined) and on fine soils (1.67-2.0 pts./A of Medal + 4.0 pts./A of AAtrex 4L or
4.0-5.0 pts./A of Princep 4L, or AAtrex 4L + Princep 4L combined) in minimum-tillage
and no-tillage systems in CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, SD, TN, Wl,
and WY. Apply the tank mixtures as a split or single treatment in those states and as
indicated in the Medal Alone - Preplant Surface-Applied section of the label for corn.
On coarse soils, apply 1.33 pts./A of Medal and 3.2 pts./A of AAtrex 4L or Princep 4L, or
AAtrex 4L + Princep 4L combined.
Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Follow instructions for use of Medal alone
under Application Procedures. Apply Medal + AAtrex or Princep, or Medal + AAtrex +
Princep, using the appropriate rates from Table 1.
Restriction: Do not apply more than the labeled rate for a given soil texture per year,
either as a split or single treatment, or illegal residues may result.
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
of triazine herbicide recommended in combination with Medal for corn grown on
a given soil texture. Follow with a post-directed application of Evik® SOW at 2.5
-28-
Ibs./A. Refer to the Evik SOW label for specific directions for the post-directed
application.
3. Apply Eradicane® or Sutan® (or equivalent EPIC or butylate formulations) at
labeled rates preplant incorporated, followed by a preemergence application of
Medal at 1.0-1.33 pts./A. Do not use Eradicane or Sutan on soils where rapid
degradation has been shown to occur. Make the preemergence application
during or after planting, but before weeds and corn emerge.
Precaution: When following the application regimes in numbers 1-3 above, a shallow
cultivation may be needed after the preemergence or postemergence application to help
control any late emerging shattercane or wild proso millet plants.
Note: Do not exceed a total of 1.9 Ibs. a.i./A (2.0 pts. of Medal) in the preplant
incorporated plus preemergence application on soils with less than 6% organic matter,

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.

TANK MIXTURE OF MEDAL WITH AATREX OR PRINCEP, OR AATREX + PRINCEP
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.
-34-
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
of Medal may be applied. Medal can be used in combinations with Balance PRO at
rates up to 2.0 pts./A on fine textured soils if the soil organic matter content is 3% or
greater.
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.

COTTON - MEDAL ALONE
Application: Apply Medal preemergence only in Area 1* at the rate of 0.5-1.0 pt./A on
sandy loams, 0.66-1.33 pts./A on medium soils, or 1.0-1.33 pts./A on fine soils. Apply
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
previous preplant or preemergence Medal application as shown in the following table.

Notes: For best control of yellow nutsedge and suppression of seedling johnsongrass,
apply Medal preplant incorporated, preemergence, or postemergence to cotton and
preemergence to weeds at the maximum rate for the soil texture, whether applied alone
or in combinations. Do not apply more than a total of 2.0 pts./A on coarse soils or 2.6
pts./A of Medal on medium and fine soils during a growing season. These treatments
may be applied over previous registered herbicide treatments.
Restrictions: To avoid crop injury, (1) Do not apply Medal on sand or loamy sand soils,
or in areas where water is likely to "pond" over the bed; (2) To avoid concentration in
the seed furrow, do not make broadcast applications of Medal 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; (3) In furrow-planted cotton, to avoid concentration in the furrow and
potential injury, do not apply Medal postemergence until after first "knifing" or cultivation
to level soil surface. (4) Do not apply over-the-top in fluid fertilizer or any other
adjuvant, surfactant, oil, or other pesticide not recommended in the cotton section of this
label, or injury may occur; and (5) Do not apply on Taloka silt loam. (6) Do not use in
Gaines County, TX.
Restriction: Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or illegal
residues may result.

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. ,

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.

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.
