t • [PTAM PLUS 6-E 29. APPENDIX I [PTAM PLUS 6-E WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS The following procedure is suggested for determining whether EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be combined with a specific fluid fertili_er for spray tank application. Material Required:

1. EPTAM PLUS 6-E.
2. Fluid fertilizer to be used.
3. Adjuvant for fertilizer tank mix: Compex*, Sponto 168-0*, Unite* or equivalent. The a~juvant which provides the best emulsification depends on the specific fertilizer under consideration.
4. Two one-quart, wide-mouth glass jars with lid or stopper. S. Measuring spoons (a 2S mL pipette or graduated cylinder provides more accurate measurement).
5. Measuring cup, 8 oz. (237 mL). *Compex, Kalo Laboratories Inc, Kansas City, Kansas Sponto 168-0, Witco Chemical Company, Houston, Texas Unite. Hopkins Agricultural Chemical Co •• Madison. Wisconsin Procedure:
6. Pour a pint (about 473 mL) of the fluid fertilizer into each of the quart jars.
7. Add adjuvant to one of the jars and mix (see next rate table).
8. Add the EPTAM PLUS 6-E to both jars (see next rate table).
9. Close both jars with lid or stopper and mix the contents by turning the jars upside down ten times.
10. Inspect the surface and body of the mixtures - (A) Immediately after completing the jar inversion~. (B) After allowing the jars to stand quietly for 30 mi~utes. (C) And then again after turning the jars upside down 10 times. ", 1 I I

• ---------.-1 EPTAr~ PLUS 6·E 30. If a uniform mix cannot be made, the mixture should not be used. If either mixture remains uniform for 30 minutes, the combination may be useQ. Should either mixture separate after 30 minutes, but readily remix uniformly with ten jar inversions, the mixture can be used if adequate agitation is Maintained in the tank. If the mixture with adjuvant is satisfactory, but the one without adjuvant is not, be sure to use the adjuvant in the spray tank. Add the adjuvant first at a rate of 3 pints per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer; foaming can be minimized by using moderate agitat i on. If nondispersible oil, sludge or clumps of solids form in the mixtures, the combination should not be used. NOTE 1: For some combinations, premixing wettable powders in a little water in a pail before adding them to the spray tank will improve the compatibility of the final mixtures with EPTAM PLUS 6·E. This technique can be tested in the small·scale jar test by premixing the wettable powder in one·eighth (1/8) cup of water prior to addition to the pint of fluid fertilizer.

EPTAM PLUS 6-E 31. APPENDIX! I EPTAM PLUS 6-E IMPREGNATION ON ORY BULK FERTILIZERS CAUTION: EPTAM PLUS 6-E alone or in combination with other herbicides must not be impregnated on ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate or putassium nitrate. Such mixtures may cause explosion and fire. All individual state regulations relating to bulk dry fertilizer blending, registration, labeling and application are the responsi­ bility of the individual and/or company selling the fertilizer and EPTAM PLUS 6-E mixture. EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be impregnated on many dry bulk fertilizers (1) and applied and incorporated in the soil before planting for the control of grass and broadleaf weeds. All EPTAM PLUS 6-E supplementary literature instructions and label recommendations regarding rates per acre, soil incorporation, application, cautions, general use precautions and other direc­ tions must be followed. Test results have shown that EPTAM PLUS 6-E on bulk dry fertilizers gives weed control equal to EPTAM PLUS 6-E applied as a spray in water or liquid fertilizer. However, uniform impregnation of EPTAM PLUS 6-E on dry fertilizer particles and uniform application in the field are necessary to assure good results. A minimum of 200 pound~ nd a maximum of 700 pounds of approved fertilizer ingredients\lJ impregnted with EPTAM PLUS 6-E at the recommended rate must be applied per acre. For impregnating EPTAM PLUS 6-E on dry fertilizers, use a closed rotary-drum mixer or a similar type of closed blender equipped with suitable spray equipment. The spray nozzle (or nozzles) should be positioned inside of the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage of the tumbling fertilizer. The EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be sprayed uniformly onto the fertilizer using a fine spray pattern. The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particularly in liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient, jnlple spray impregnation of the fertilizer with EPTAM PLUS 6-[ provides a satisfactory, dry mixture. If the absorptive capacity is not adequate, use of a highly absr,tive powder is required to provide a dry, free-flowing mixture. Hicrocel E (Johns-Manville Products Corp.) is the recommerded absorbent powder. It should be added separately and uniformly to the prepared EPTAM PLUS 6-E fertilizer mixture, in a quat:ty that is sufficient to provide a suitably free-flowing mlt~re. Generally less than 21 by weight of Microcel E is requile'. " . -, 1 J 1 I I

(1 ) t EPTAM PLUS 6-E 32. The amount of £PTAM PLUS 6-E actually required in the manufacture of individual fertilizer mixtyrs should be determined carefully for each production operation(2). This is necessary to ensure that the amount of EPTAM PLUS 6-£ actually contained in the mixture applied to the soil represents the correct rate of use. Bulk fertilizer impregnated with EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be applied immediatel. NOT STOREO. All bulk containers should be tightly covered whIle the product is being transported and applied to reduce chances of EPTAM PLUS 6-E loss via volatilizati01.

Set the cultivator to cut 4 inches deep, operated at 5 mph or Inore. Run the equipment over the field twice, the second run at an angle to the first. Rotar Ground Driven or S ring-Tooth Cultivators (recommended on coarse texture SOl S ln good ti t on y). Set to penetrate to a depth of 4 to 6 inches and operated at 5 to 8 mph in two di fferent di rections. INCORPORATION AT OR AFTER PLANTING: Use power driven CUltivation equipment set to cut to a depth of 2 to 3 inches OR on coarse textured soils only, ground driven tillers (rolling cultivators, rotary hoe, row wheels, etc.) set to cut to a depth of 1-1/2 inches and operated at 6 to B mph. When incorporating after planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or seedling. SUBSURFACE APPLICATION - AT PLANTING OR POST EMERGENCE Apply EPTAM PLUS 6-E in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. Special equipment designed for subsurface application MUST be used. Injector and sweep units must be rigidly mounted on the planter or cultivation unit. When using sweeps at planting they must be mounted ahead of the planters. SOIL INJECTION - Injector shanks must be spaced 2-1/2 to 3 Inches apart and mounted In staggered positions to avoid trash buildup. Set shanks to inject EPTAM PLUS 6-E 2 to 3 Inches below the soil surface. The width of the band in which weed control is desired will determine the number and spacing of injector shanks required per row. (Example: Four injector shanks spaced 3 inches apart give a 12-inch band). A broadcast application can be made by increasing the number of shanks. The two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches on either side of it, EXCEPT IN COTTON WHERE THE DISTANCE MUST BE 4 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW, AND SUGAR BEETS WHERE THE DISTANCE MUST BE 2-3/4 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. COVERED SWEEPS - Set the sweeps to run below the soil surf~~p deep enough to cover the EPTAM PLUS 6-E with 2 to 3 inches of soil. Calibrate by measuring the spray band width at the back of the sweep, not the sweep width. For broadcast applications stagger sweeps on double tool bar so they overlap sufficiently to allow spray bands to meet. NOTE: When applylnQ with either injectors or sweeps, EPThIi PLUS 6-E must be applied deep enough to allow 2 to 3 inche~ of soil to remain over the treatment after the planting o?pr~tions. --.-.'- " . 1 I I

t f t l I I I I r L EPTAM PLUS 6-E 8. PLANTING DIRECTIONS For pre-plant applications, seeding should be done as soon as possible after treatment to obtain a maximum period of weed control. IRRIGATION APPLICATIO~ - POST-PLANTING AND ESTABLISHED CROPS Meter EPTAM PLUS 6-E into the irrigation water using a metering device that will introduce a constant flow into the water. For flood, furrow, or sprinkler irrigation meter the EPTAM PLUS 6-E into the water during the entire period OR, for sprinkler irrigation, the EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be metered into sufficient water to penetrate to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Time this EPTAM PLUS 6-E application to insure that proper penetration of the herbicide corresponds with the end of the irrigation period. Flush the lines and then turn the water off promptly. Consult "RECOMMENDATIONS· on this label for proper timing of application for each crop for which irrigation application is recommended. Tailwater (runoff water) from flood or furrow irrigation should be recirculated or used only on other crops which are regis­ tered for this type of application. 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 herbicide was incorporated or injected. Pre-emergence or post-emergence herbicides may be necessary to control weeds resistant to EPTAM PLUS 6-E. REGIONAL USE MAP CROP RECOMMENDATIONS All crop recommendations are given on a regional basis.

(Under normal use table beets are susceptible to injury froln EPTAM PLUS 6-E and when EPTAM PLUS 6-E is used the seeding rate should be increased 10 per cent. ) WALNUTS: After clean cultivation or prior to weed emergence on well established trees, meter 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre into the irrigation water during the entire irrigation period. RECOMMENDATIONS Western Region These recommendations are given as the broadcast (overall) rate of EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre. For band treatment, use proportionately less material per acre depending on the width of band to be treated and the crop row spacing. Do not use band application on rocky ground because thorough incorporation is not possible. ALFALFA*, BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL, CLOVERS, LESPEDEZA: Do not use [prAM pLus 6-E if a grass or graln nurse crop is to be planted with the legume. Do not use on white dutch clover. Apply and incorporate 2-2/3 to 5-1/3 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre just before planting. (Use the lower rate on very coars~ textured soils.) Temporary crop stunting and sealing of the first leaves will occur if conditions for germination and growth are not optimum (e.g. lack of moisture), and will be relieved by irrigation or adequate rainfall. OR ALFALFA*: Meter 2-2/3 to 4 pints [PTAM PLUS 6-E per acre into the irrigation water that is applied immediately after planting. (Use the lower rate on very coarse textured soils.) Do not use EPTAM PLUS 6-E pre-emergence on rill-irrigated (corrugated) alfalfa. *Alfalfa is sensitive to soil residues of Atrazine. Do not use [PTAM PLUS 6-E on alfalfa if Atrazine was applied within the previous 12 months. AND/OR ALFALFA (ESTABLISltED STANDS): Meter 2-2/3 to 4 pints [PTAM PLUS 6-E per acre into the irrigation water applirl tn established stands prior to weed emergence. Usr the lower rate on very coarse textured soils. Limit use to one applica:i: per cutting. However, up to 16-1/3 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre per year may be used if applied into the irrigation water. Do not apply within 14 days of harvesting or grazing alfalfa. . . • 1 •

Use the lower rate on very coarse textured soils. Do not apply within 45 days of harvesting or grazing. ALMODS: After making the last cultivation for the season, meter 3 to 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre into the irrigution water. Do not make more than 2 applications per season or exceed 8 pints per acre. Do not apply within 16 days of harvest. BEANS, GREEN OR DRY: Do not use EPTAM PLUS 6-E on Adzuki beans, cowpeas (blackeye peas, blackeye beans), soybeans, lima beans, mung beans, Garbanzo beans or other flat-podded beans except Romano. Under abnormal weather conditions stunting may occur on Gratiot, Michilite, Sanilac, Seafarer and Seaway varieties. PRE-PLAtn Apply and incorporate 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre just before planting. Rotary hoe lightly during or shortly after emergence of the beans to break any crust which occurs. OR Subsurface Application: Apply 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre pre-plant, just before planting or at planting. See DIRECTIONS FOR USE. OR Lay-By Incorporation: At time of last cultivation for the season, apply and incorporate 4 to 5-1/3 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre for grass and broadleaf control. Apply as a directed spray to the soil at the base of the plants before beans pods start to form. Do not feed or pasture vines to livestock until 45 days after appl ication. OR Lay-By Subsurface: Prior to application, a clean cuitivatlon must be made for all existing weed growth to be destryed. Ap?ly 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-[ per broadcast acre or in a band treat­ ment (using 2 shanks per row 5-1/2 inches apart, centered on the drill row with rows 3B inches apart) use 2 pin~s per acre.

WALNUTS: After clean cultivation or prior to weed emergence on well established trees, meter 4 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per acre into the irrigation water dur-ing the entire irrigation period. DIRECTIONS FOR USE - ORNAMENTAL SECTION Soil Preparatio~: The soil to be treated should be loose and free of clods. All weed growth should be removed or thoroughly worked into the soil before application. Application: The recommended rate of EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be applied as uniformly as possible. Apply to well-worked soil that is dry enough to permit thorough mixing with incorporation equipment. When treating around established plants, direct spray to soil surface for maximllm coverage; use one of r following appropriate means of application: Low Pressure Herbicide Sprayer: For broadcast appliratio use 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre. For band application (in front of power tiller), use less water depending upon row spacing and width of band desired. Check pressure and nozzles frequently to assure uniform application.
