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 II has the potential to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in
-4- 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 II 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 drained 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.

C r <?(is -7- l To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result. Note: It is illegal to sell, use or distribute this product within, or into, Nassau County or Suffolk County, New York. 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 II is a 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. When tank mixing or sequentially applying atrazine or products containing atrazine to corn or sorghum do not exceed an application rate of 2.0 pounds active ingredient of atrazine per acre for any single application and the total pounds of atrazine applied (Ib. a.i. per acre) must not exceed 2.5 pounds active ingredient per acre per year. 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:
- Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
- Do not apply to impervious substrates, such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
- Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat nontarget crops, unless at least 1/4 inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. Where directions specify a Medal II 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.
-8- 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 II is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the depth of incorporation. Dry weather following an application of Medal II or a tank mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop. 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. 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 lowerVate 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 II 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.

Weeds Partially Controlled: common purslane, eclipta, Florida beggarweed**, hairy nightshade, sandbur, seedling johnsongrass, shattercane, Texas panicum***, volunteer sorghum, wild proso millet, and woolly cupgrass. *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:
- In corn, use 2.0-2.5 pts./A or the preplant surface-applied rates for Medal II alone or in tank mixture, if allowed, when making preplant incorporated or preemergence applications.
- Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds. If Medal II is to be applied preplant incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate Medal II if uniform 2-inch incorporation is achieved as recommended under Application Procedures.
- Plant crop into moist soil immediately after tillage. If Medal II is to be used preemergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting.
- If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply 1/2-1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (1/2 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 II.
-10- 5. 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 II Alone: (1) If crop treated with Medal II alone is lost, any crop on this label may be replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast application of Medal II. 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 1/2 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, peppers, stone fruits, or tree nuts, may be planted in the spring. Medal II Tank Mixtures: For Rotational Crops restrictions for Medal II used in tank mixtures, refer to the statements/restrictions above for Medal II 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 II) preemergence (including preplant surface, preplant incorporated, postplant incorporated, etc.), and (2) Do not make lay-by or other postemergent applications of Medal II. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Application Timing Medal II 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.
-11- Preplant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, Medal II alone and some Medal II 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 II to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of soil within 14 days before planting, using a finishing disk, narrow, 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 II after bed formation, unless specified otherwise. Preemergence: Apply Medal II during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or crops emerge. Postemergence: Medal II may be applied postemergence to corn, up to 40 inches tall. Medal II 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 II 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 ll-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 II with a tillage implement set to till 2-4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the tilled (Medal ll-treated) soil on the beds. Preemergence: Apply Medal II after planting. Water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7-10 days. Fall Application (Only in IA, MM, 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
-12- 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 II alone or in tank mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gals, of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For Medal II 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 _ amount needed row width in inches per acre per acre 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 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.
-13- 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. AERIAL APPLICATION Apply Medal II 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 II may also be applied by air in combination with Balan®, Prowl®, or Treflan®. See specific tank mixture sections for directions. 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 II alone or Medal II + AAtrex by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or apply Medal II + Lexone, Lorox, or Sencor at a minimum upwind distance of 300 ft. from sensitive plants. AERIAL DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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.
- The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- 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 must be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below.
-14- Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. 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 upwind 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.).
C ( -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. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is greatest 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 APPLICATIONS Medal II 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 II also may be applied postemergence to the crop and preemergence to weeds in crops 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
-16- 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
- 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.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick- closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- 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.
- The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
- 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.
-17- 9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 10. Apply in %-1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (Vz 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 II alone or selected Medal II tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant surface application which are used to control weeds in crops on the Medal II label and are not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. When applying Medal II or Medal II 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 II and Medal II 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.
o -18- Calculate amounts of Medal II, 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 X or flowable product = flow/able product per acre ton of fertilizer 2.000 Ibs./A of dry Ibs. of dry product Ibs. of fertilizer per X product = per ton of fertilizer acre Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application (Medal II 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 II with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1.0-4.0 pts./gal. of Medal II. 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 II 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 II 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 II or Medal II mixtures on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use Medal II or Medal II 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. Nonuniform 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
r -19- 21 allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. 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. Formulas* for Preplant Surface-Applied, Preplant Incorporated, Preemergence, and Early Preplant Applications Refer to specific instructions regarding these applications in the Application Procedures section of this label, as well as the appropriate crop section.

Fill the spray tank 1/2-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of Medal II, then add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform emulsion. Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full with water, and start agitation; add 2,4-D, AAtrex, Balan, Balance Pro, Banvel®, Basagran®, Canopy®, Caparol® 4L, Command®, Cotoran®, Eptam®, Gemini®, Lexone, Liberty® Herbicide, Liberty ATZ Herbicide, Lorox, Lorox Plus®, Marksman®, Preview®, Princep, Prowl, Pursuit®, AAtrex + Princep, Scepter®, Sencor, Sonalan, or Treflan, and allow it to become dispersed; then add Medal II; 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, 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. COMPATIBILITY TEST Ajar test is recommended before tank mixing to ensure compatibility of Medal II with other pesticides. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals./A. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients.
-21- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 1/4 the compatibility agent to the fertilizer or water and the other !4 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable pesticide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
- 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 II ALONE Apply Medal II, either preplant surface, preplant incorporated, preemergence, postemergence, or lay-by, using the appropriate rate specified below. PREPLANT SURFACE APPLIED Refer to instructions for use of Medal II alone under Application Procedures.
r -22- Fall Application:
- Apply after September 30 in ND, SD, MN, Wl, and north of Route 30 in IA.
- Apply after October 15 north of Route 91 in NE and south of Route 30 in IA.
- 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, SD, TN, Wl, and WY. Apply 2/3 the recommended rate of Medal II (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 before planting. 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 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. PREPLANT INCORPORATED OR PREEMERGENCE Follow instructions for use of Medal II alone under Application Procedures. On coarse soils, apply 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal II 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 II. On fine soils, apply 1.33-1.67 pts./A of Medal II 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 LAYBY To extend the duration of weed control in corn, a maximum rate of 2.0 pts./A of Medal II may be applied after corn emergence until the corn plants reach 40 inches in height,
r-23- following any preplant surface-applied, preplan! incorporated, or preemergence herbicide application, including Medal II. 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 II rate applied on corn during any one crop year should not exceed 3.9 pts./A. 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 ears from treated areas for 30 days following last 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 2.0-2.5 pts./A as a single application; or apply 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal II preplant incorporated followed by 1.0-1.33 pts./A of Medal II preemergence; however, do not apply more than a total of 2.5 pts./A. Make the preemergence application during or after planting, but before weeds and corn emerge. Apply the 1.33 pts./A rate of Medal II 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 II 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 II PROGRAMS FOR PLANNED TWO-PASS WEED CONTROL SYSTEMS IN ROUNDUP READY® AND GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT CORN Medal II may be applied preplant 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 II 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 II 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
-24- 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 II may be used up to 2.5 pts./A as either a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment on soils having an organic matter content between 6% and 20% or up to 2.0 pts./A on any soil for extended residual control and where severe stands of problem weeds are expected. (3) In the event of escape of annual weeds following a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment of Medal II, follow with a postemergence application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide, i.e., AAtrex, Beacon, Bicep MAGNUM, Bicep II MAGNUM, Bicep Lite II® MAGNUM, Exceed, Accent, Banvel, Basagran, Brominal, Buctril, or 2,4-D. If the postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used in the earlier treatment, i.e., AAtrex, 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 II on peat or muck soils. CORN - MEDAL II COMBINATIONS Medal II 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 II 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. (3) The total Medal II rate applied on corn during any one crop year must not exceed 3.9 pts./A. IMPORTANT: FOR TANK MIXTURES WITH AATREX (OR OTHER BRANDS OF ATRAZINE) - If applying Medal II 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 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.

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.
-30- 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 II. Tank mixtures of Medal II + AAtrex may be applied following use of any registered preplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence corn herbicide, including Medal II + AAtrex. Note: The total Medal II 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.

On medium soils, apply 1.33 pts./A of Medal II 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 II 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 II + 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 II. TANK MIXTURE WITH AATREX; OR AATREX + 2,4-D;OR AATREX + 2,4-D + 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 II applied in combination with AAtrex will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply Medal II + 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 Weedar64, Weedar64A, 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.
r r -34- 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 II + Marksman will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply Medal II + 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 II + 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. 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 II 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 II 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 II has no adverse crop response warnings or use restrictions. Listed below are compensating rate options for combinations of Medal II and Balance PRO, i.e. higher rates of Medal II are combined with lower rates of Balance PRO, and visa versa. Select a rate option for Medal II plus Balance PRO by weighing the intensity of problem weed pressure (population presence and density) and your acceptance for
-35- 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 tolerance 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 II 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 at a lower given rate, or unacceptable control may result. Follow all other directions for use, rate limitations, precautions and restrictions on both the Medal II and Balance PRO product labels. Medal II Plus Balance PRO Tank Mix Rate Options When Applied Pre-plant (Incorporated or Surface Applied) Up to 7 Days 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 II 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 II 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 Medal II may be applied. Medal II can be used in combinations with Balance PRO at rates up to 1.67 pts./A on medium textured soils. For fine textured soils, where 1.5 oz./A of Balance PRO is used, rates as low as 1.33 pts./A of Medal II 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 II 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 II 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 II may be applied. Medal II 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 II 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

r -72- Ground Water Advisory The active ingredient in Medal II 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 II 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 drained 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.
