! I *Cultivation is suggested in addition to the VERNAM lO-G treatments in fields with moderate or heavy infestations of wild cane. The above listed broadleaf weeds will be controlled only if treatment is made when conditions are favorable for weed seed germination and growth. PERENNIAL WEEDS: Yellow Nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) Purple Nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) 3 c ,j Existing stands of nutgrass must be turned under and chopped up thoroughly before treatment. For nutgrass control VERMAN lO-G must be thoroughly mixed into the soil prior to planting. cultivation is suggested in addition to VERMAN lO-G treatment in fields with moderate or heavy nutgrass infestations. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS VERMAM lO-G should be used only for recommended purposes and at recommended rates (do not overdose). Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, YERMAN lO-G will not harm the treated crop. Malformation of the primary leaves is not unusual. This condition is only temporary and will not affect yields. During germination and early stages of growth, extended periods of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plant disease attack, the use of certain soil-applied systemic insecticides, imprope,rly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may create abnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. YERMAN lO-G used under these· abnormal condi tions co,€-~ result· in crop inj w;"" VERMAN lOG is recommended for use on mineral soils only. Do not contaminate irrigation water or water used for domestic purposes. Do not mix VERMAN lO-G with insecticides or fungicides. VRNAM10G.doc 6/28/93 /D

I I 4 DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF VERNAM lO-G It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. VERNAM lO-G is a selective herbicide which is mixed (incorporated) into the soil, except where note~ under RECOMMENDATIONS, for control of weeds listed on this l~bel. VERNAM lO-G controls annual weeds as their seeds germinate by interfering with normal germination and seedling development. It does. not control established weeds. All weed growth and crop stubble should be thoroughly worked into the soil before treatment. VRNAMIOG.doc 6/28/93

f 5 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS The soil should be well worked and dry enough to permit good soil mixing (incorporation). Use granular applicators designed to hcondle herbicide granules. Calibrate the applicator according to the manufacturer's directions prior to use and check frequently during application to be sure equipment is working properly and distributing the granules uniformly. Avoid overlaps that will increase dosage above recommended limits. When using certain broadcast applicators, a splash pan is needed to spread the granules and avoid concentration of the material in narrow bands. Broadcast applications before planting may be made by airplane. INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS with soil incorporation applications, VERNAM 10-G must be mixed (incorporated) into the soil immediately (within minutes) after application to prevent loss of herbicide. Whenever possible, application and incurporation should be done in the same operation. SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) BEFORE PLANTING: Use power-driven CUltivation equipment set to cut to a depth of 2 to 3 inches OR a tandem disc set to cut to a depth of 4 to 6 inches operated at 4 to 6 mph, followed by a spike-tooth harrow or some other leveling device which extends beyond the ends of the disc. For thorough mixing, disc in two different directions (cross disc). Prior to the second discing, raise the disc to prevent cutting deeper than 4 to 6 inches. SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) AFTER PLANTING: Use po\tr-driven CUltivation equipment set to cut to <'. depth of 2 i.nches OR on d' ~ D I J light soils only, Iground-dren ·tille~~ (rolling .. cultivators, .~ .. \ rotary hoe, row heels, etc) set to cut to a depth of 1-1/2 . .; inches an~ oper~ted at 6 to 8 mph. When incorporating after planting, carF. must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or seedlings. Adjust tines or blades of incorporation equipment so they are noe directly over the drill row. PLANTING - SOYBEANS, PEANUTS Do not plant seed deeper than 2 inches. For VERNAM 10-G applications made before planting, seeding can be done immediately or it may be delayed up to 10 days. If it is necessary to wo~~ the soil following application and incorpor­ ation, but before planting, do not work the soil deeper than the depth the herbicide was incorporated. To avoid removing VERNAM 10-G 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. VRNAMIOG.doc 6/2S/93

", 6 RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations are given in terms of broadcast (over-all) rates VERNAM 10-G per acre. For band or row applications, reduce broadcast rates proportionately depending on band width to be treated and row spacing. PEANUTS: VERNAM 10-G may be applied before planting, or immediately after planting. When incorporatL g after planting, care must bE> taken not to disturb the seed. Broadcast Rates Per Acre--20 pounds on sandy (light) soils, 25 pounds on sandy loam to clay loam (medil.:m to heavy) soils. SOYBEANS: For Soybeans Grown in Midwestern, rorth Central and Northeastern states: VERNAM 10-G may be applied before planting by broad­ casting 20 pounds on sandy (light) soils, or 25 pounds on sandy loam to clay loam (medium to heavy) soils. VERNAM 10-G may also be applied at planting or immediately after planting by broadcasting 20 pounds on sandy (light) soils, 25 pounds on sandy loam to clay loam (medium to heavy) soils, and 30 pounds on clay (heavy) soils. WhE'. incorporating after planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or seedlings. For Soybeans Grown In The Southeastern States including North Carolina, South carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Eastern Tennessee (Tenn. River East): VERNAM 10-G may be applied before planting or immediately after planting. For appliations made before planting, do not plant in' deep furrows or .. woe shanks or other devices ahead of plantdr· which bring up untreated soil to·"" , .. "- . the surfac;;e. For furrow planted soybeans, apply VERNAM lO-G immediately after planting in bands over the row and incorporate with row wheels only. When incorporating after planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or seedlings. Broadcast Rates Per Acre--20 pounds on sandy (light) soils and 25 pounds on sandy loam to clay loam (medium to heavy) soils. In The Midwest and North Central States Only: VERNAM 10-G may also be applied to the soil surface immediately after planting I without mixing it into the soi: by broadcasting 30 pounds on sandy (light) to clay (heavy) soils. This application method will not control nutgrass, Johnsongrass from seed, wild cane or velvetleaf. Also, rainfall of at least one-half inch in one rain is necessary to carry the chemical down to the germinating weed seeds. One or more light rains are not sufficient. Poor weed control will result if sufficient rain does not occur within 7 d~ys after application. If sufficient rainfall does not occur, OR if weeds have emerged, rotary hoeing or standard CUltivation should be done before weeds become well established. VRNAMIOG.doc 6/28/93

, I 7 For Soybeans Grown in the outhwestern States Including Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Western Tennessee (Tenn. River West): VERNAM lO-G may be applied before planting. When incorporating at or after planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or seedlings. Broadcast Rates Per Acre--20 pounds on sandy (light) soils, 25 pounds on sandy loam to clay loam (medium to heavy) soils and 30 pounds on clay (very heavy) soils. NOTE: If beds are made prior to planting soybeans, VERNAM lO-G may be applied 1n a band immediately ahead of the bedding discs set to cover the VERNAM lO-G with 3 to 4 inches of soil. If bed levelers are used before planting soybeans, make the beds higher to compensate for leveling, so 2 to 3 inches of soil remains over the treatment after the planting operation is done. CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION VERN} 10-G is not persistent in the soil, and susceptible ceds germinatig later during the growing season may not be controlled. Shallow cUltivation may be necessary to control these late-germinating weeds. Do not cUltivate deeper than the depth of the herbicide incorporation. Recommended preemergence or post­ emergence herbicides may be applied over the top of preplant incorporated applications of VERNAM lO-G when necessary to control weeds resistant to VERNAM IO-G.
