For control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds: Use 4 to b-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E and 1-1/4 to 2* pounds of ATRAZINE 8014 or 1 to 1-1/2* quarts ATRAZINE 4L per acre. Usc the higher rate of SURPASS A 6-E on loedium (silt loam, clay loam, etc.) to finc (clay) soils and for control of sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, fall panitum and witchgrass For artial control of SU~PASS A 6-E and - I to 2* pounds A RAZINE 1-1/2 quarts ATRAZINE 4L per acre. Use 8 pints 8014 0 r 1 to Johnsongrass: Using a program of plowing and discing followed by SURPASS A 6-E and ATRAZINE will give good control of seedlings and greatly reduce competition from plants coming from rhizomes. In Some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals during fall and winter is recommended. If this cannot be done, start ~ith fall plowing f0110wed by several discing in the spring before planting. The discing cuts rhizomes into small pieces and bring them to tile surface, where both the weather and SURPASS A 6-£ will kill or weaken them. NEXT, Apply and disc-incorporate SURPASS A 6-E just before planting at the rate of 8 pints plus 1-1/4 to 2* pounds of ATRAZINE 8014 or 1 to 1-1/2* quarts of ATRAZINE 4L per acre. Disc a second time at right angles to the first. Cultivdte at least once, preferably twice • *Use the higher rate of ATRAZINE on soils with over 51 organic matter • CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed control. When cultivating for any reason, it should be shallow, i.e., no more than 1/2 the depth the herbicides were incorporated. For all uses cultivation is recommended in addition to the SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestatations of wild cane, nutgrass, quackgrass, sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, fall panicum or wild proso millet. -. ,.

The SURPASS A 6-E/RLADEX (BOW or 4L) conbination can be mixed
with water or cOlnbined with fluid (solution. slurry. or suspension)
fertilizers and applied as a spray.
TANK MIX DIRECTIONS: Sec Appendix II
Application and Incorporation Directions:
For a tank mix applicdLion. apply the recolnmended dosage (see
RECOMMENllATIONS) in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre. (use tbe
higher gallonage in arid areas) using a properly calibrated. low­
pressure type nozzle (flood. fan or swirl chamber) on boom-type
sprayer having good agitation. Check frequently during application
to be sure the nozzles are free fro~ clogging and are delivering
a uniform spray pattern. Read directions on the BLADEX (BOW or
4l) label concerning nozzle and screen sizes.
The tank mix must be incorporated into the soil immediately after
application to prevent loss of the SURPASS A 6-E. Whenever
possible. application and incorporation should be done in the same
operation. If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in
incorporation of the herbicide when application and incorporation
are done in separate operations. SURPASS A 6-E must be applied
to a dry soi I surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) that is free from
dew and incidental moisture. If the delay in incorporation
is more than one hour. it is recommended that the hi her rates
of SURP -1 to plnts er acre be use. Never
de of incorporation more t an four hours.
Apply the herbicides to worked soil dry enough to permit good
mixing.

SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) Fluid Fertilizer Tank Mix The SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) cobination can be combined with fluid fertilizers for applications made before planting. However. the phySical compatibility with these fluid fertilizers must be deternlined before combining in the spray tank. and even though found to be copatible, constant agitation is necessary to keep SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX evenly mixed with the fluid fertilizer during application. Refer to Appendix IV regarding the procedure for testing the compatibility of SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX combination with fluid fertilizers, For sequential application of SURPASS A 6-E preplant incorporated followed by BLAOEX (SOW of 4L) pre-emergence, consult the appropriate application directions on the respective product labels. Follow the dosage recommendations given below. REcomENDATIONS For all uses, cultivation is recommended in addition to the SURPASS A 6-E/BLADEX treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestations of wild cane, nutgrass, quacgrass, sandbur. johnson­ grass seedlings, fall panicum or wild proso millet. BLADEX in combination with SURPASS A 6-E is not recommended for use on coarse or medium textured soils containing less than 1% organic matter. Use the lower rate of BLAOEX on coarse to medium textured soils containing 1% organic matter and above • Use the higher rate of BLADEX on fine (fine textured-clay) soils with 3% organic matter and above • SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX can be applied either as a tank mix combination and incorporated into the soil or apply SURPASS A 6-E preplant incorporated followed by BLADE X pre-emergence. If BLADEX is surface-applied on top of a preplant application of SURPASS A 6-E. a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation is recommended if rainfall or sprinkler irrigation has not occurred within about 10 days after the application of BLAEX. Broadcast Rate Per Acre (Conventional Sprays) IMPORTANT: Limit use on sweet corn to 5-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E per acre, except in the Pacific Northwest where up to 8 pints per acre may be applied. • " .

Johnsrngrass: Using a prograln of plowing and discing followed by SURPASS A 6-£ and BLADEX will give good control of seedlings and greatly reduce competition from plants coning from rhizomes. In some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals during fall and winter is recolnmended. If this cannot be done, start with fall plowing followed by several discings in the spring before planting. The disciny cuts rhizomes illtu small pieces and brings them to the surface, where both the weather and SURPASS A 6-E will kill or weaken them. NEXT, Apply and disc-incorporate SURPASS A 6-E just before prJnting at the rate of 8 pints plus 2 to 2-1/2 pounds of SLADEX BOW or 3 to 4 pints of SLADEX 4L per acre.

For a SURPASS A 6-E/ BLADEX application made before planting, seeding can be done immediately or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To avoid removing SURPASS A 6-E/BLADEX from the rOw (with loss of weed control in the row), do not move or shape soil after treatment, such as by planting in deep furrows. If it is necessary to work the soil following application and incorporation, but before planting, it should be shallow, i.e., no more than 1/2 the depth the herbicide was incorporated. CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed contro~.

Horizontal action: set to cut 4 to 6 inches dee~. b. Vertical action: set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep. Tandem Discs (Recomnlended on all soil types): Set to cut to a depth of 4 to 6 inches, operated at 4 to 6 mph followed by a spiked-tooth harrow or sOlne other leveling device which extends beyond the ends of the discs. For more thorough mixing (for control or suppression of deep-g~rminatin9 grasses-wild cane, wild oats, seedl:ng johnsongrass, nutsedge and wild proso millet), disc in two different directions. When discing the second time, the disc should be reset to cut no deeper than 4 to 6 inches. Field Cultivator (Recommended on lighter soils in ood tilth: Use 3 to 4 rows of sweeps spaced at Inch or ess lnterva s and staggered 50 that no soil is left unturned, followed by a spited-tooth harrow pulled behind the cultivator. Do not use chisel plows for incorporation. Set the cultivator to cut 4 to 6 inches deep, operated at 5 mph or more. The field cultivator should not be used alone as an incorporation tool where control or surpression of deep-germinating weeds such as nutgrass, wild proso millet, johnsongrass seedlings, wild cane or wild oats is desired. For control of these weeds, use a disc alone for at least one of the passes over the fleld. " .J

Existing stands of perennial weedS cust be turned under and chopped up thoroughly before tredtlent. Ctlltivation is suggested in addition to SURPASS A 6-E treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infetation. GENERAL PRECAUTIU:IS Read all label directions before using. Applied according to directions and nder normal growing conditions, SURPASS A 6-E will not harm the treated crop. During the germination and early stages of growth, extended periods of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plJnt disease attck, carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil-applied systemic insecticides, inlproperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may create adnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. SURPASS A 6-E used under these abnormal conditions could result in crop injury. When applied according to directions and when conditions exist for normal plant growth through the season, no harmful residues of SURPASS A 6-E should remain beyond harvest. In the Suutheastern U.S., when SURPASS A 6-E is used for weed control in silage corn, do not seed small seeded grains after corn harvest until Septemer. Do not use on milo or sorghum. Do not use on corn seed stoc (Breeders, Foundation, or Increase) • SURPASS A 6-E is recommended for use on IDineral soils only (soils containing less than 101 organic tlatter) • Do not contaminate irrigation water (used for crops other thrln corn) or water used for domestic purposes. DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF SURPASS A 6-E IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE THIS PROUUCT IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABEL • SU"PASS A 6-E is a selective herbicide which is mixed (incorp- ordted) or injected into the soil for control of weeds listed on this label. SURPASS A 6-E controls annual weeds as their seeds germinate by interfering with normal germindtion and seedling develop­ ment. It does not control established weeds. All weed growth and crop stUbble should be thoroughly worked into the soil before treatlnent. Impregnt ion ,.,( d" .

APPLICATION AND SOIL '"CORPORATION DIRECTIONS Application Directions Pour the recolnmended amount of SURPASS A 6-E into the spray tank during the filling operations. Apply ill 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre using a properly calibrated, low-pressure (20-40 psi) booln type sprayer having good agitation (use the higher gallonage in arid areas). The soil should be well-worked and dry enough to perlnit good soil mixing (incorporation). Incorporation Directions SURPASS A 6-E must be incorporated into the soil immediately to prevellt loss of the herbicide. Whenever possible, application and incorporation should be done in the same operation. If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation of the herbicide when application and incorporation are done in separate operations, SURPASS A 6-E must be applied to d dry soil surfdce (at least 1/2 inch deep) that is free from dew and inci­ dental moisture. If the delay in incorporation is more than one hour, it is recommended that the higher rates of SURPASS A 6-E 5-1/3 to 8 pints per acre be used. Never delay completion of ',ncorporation more than See Appendix I for soil mixing (incorporation) before planting directions • IMPORTANT: Thorough mlxlng for SURPASS A 6-E in the soil is necessary. The soil must be in good tilth. I~proper discing or poor tilth (large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control. SOl LIN J E C T , 0 tl Coulters and injector shanks must be spaced 3-1/2 inches apart. The two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-3/4 to 2 inches on either side of it. Mount injectors in staggered positions to avoid trash buildup. Set injectors to inject SURPASS A 6-E 3 inches below the soil surface. The width of the band in which weed control is desired will determine the number of injectors required per row. (Example: Four injectors spaced 3-1/2 inches apart give a 14 inch band). A broadcast application Cdn be made by increasing the number of shankS. Seal injector openings by using a roller or chain dray ueiJiliu Lire injectors. Appiy the recommended rate of SURPASS A 6-E in 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre.

It is important that application and incorporation be done immediately after the last tillage operation since poor results will occur if the weeds t,dve germinated before application of the herbicide. Meter the SURPASS A 6-E into the irrigation water during the entire period. Apply in 1/2 to 1 inch of water or sufficient water to peetrate the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 inches. If diluted. SURPASS A 6-E should be mixed at a volue ratio of no more than 1 part SURPASS A 6-E to 4 parts of water. Good aqitation should be nlaintained during the entire application period. Use Precautions A. Apply the product only throllgh central pivot irrigation systelns containing anti-siphon and check valves which will prevent water source contamination and overflow of the slurry tank and containing interlocing controls between the metering device and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off • B. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. c. Application of more than label recomended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decrased product performance by removing the chemical from the lone of effectiveness. D. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product must be dismantled and drained. PLANTItIG Plant corn seed to a maximum depth of 2 inches. Plant within 2 weeks after preplant application. To avoid relnoving SURPASS A 6-E from the row (with ioss of weed control in the row), do not move or shape soil after treatment, such as by planting in deep furrows.
