) ) -4- GENERAL INFORMATION PROZINE controls many annual broadleaf and grass weeds in corn and sorghum. It may be applied before or after weeds emerge. The effectiveness of this product depends on moisture to move ~t into the root zone. If weeds develop, a shallow cult:ivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed control. Unusually cold, excessively wet, or hot .::.nd dry conditions that delay germinat:ion or extend germination over a long period of time can reduce weed control. Seedling diseases, cold weather, excessive moisture, deep planting, low or high soil pH, high soil salt concentration, or drought can weaken seedlhgs and plants and increase the possibility of crop damage from this herbicide. Under these conditions, crop yields can be reduced. Application in Ilater or Liquid Fertilizer: Nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer may replace all or part of the w::·ter as a carrier for preemergence use on corn. Check the compatibility of this product: with liquid fertilizer and/or nit:rogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in nitrogen solutio:"! or complete liquid fertilizer after corn emerges. To determine the compatibility of PROZINE with liquid fertilizer, pour the product into a small container of liquid fertilizer in the proportions shown' below. For different spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. For each pound of PROZINE to be applied per acre, add I heaping teaspoon of the product to one pint of liquid fertilizer solution (assuming a volume of 2S gallons per acre). After thorough mixing, let stand 5 minutes. If the herbicide/fertilizer combination remains mixed,'or can be remixed readily, make a slurry with the herbicide before adding fertilizer and use the mixture only if this test shows it is compatible. Use of PROZI.' 70DF herbicide in accordance with label directions ,1s expected to result in normal growth of rotational crops in 1I0st situatioN,'; however, various environmental and agronollic factors lIake it impossib19, ,t.o elillinate all risks associated with the use of his product a.14" 'Jherefcr'e ,: rotational crop injury is always possible. '. . ROTATIONAL CROPS: (I) n., not rotate to any crop except corn cr sorghUII until the following year, as injury may occur. (2) In the Hilth Plair.E .:.ni interllountain areas of the Ilest where rainfall is sparse ami Eorratic or where irrigation is required, use only when corn or sorghum 1$ to foll.ow corn or sorghUII or when a crop of untreated corn or sorghUII is to prpr.Ae other rotational crops. (3) Injury lIay occur to soybeans planted in n~~~~­ central and northwest Iowa, south-central and southwest Minnesota, nortto.Ht tiebraska, southeast South Dakota, and other areas the year following "ppliclltion on soils having a calcareous surface layer. (4) Do not plant sugarbeets, tobacco, vegetablea (including dry beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small-seeded legumes and grasses the year following application as injury lIay occur.

• .. ,. ·5· APPLICATION PROC!DuaJS CROUND APPLICATION: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzlea are uniformly spaced and are the same size. Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at the start of each aeason and When changing carriera. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre for preemergence and postemergence applications with ground equipment. Use a pump with capacity to (I) maintain 3S-40 psi at nozzles, (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension, and (3) '"to provlde a minimum of 20, bypass at all times. Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a mini.um of 10 gallons per minute per 100 gallons tank size circulated through a correctly positioned sparger tub. or jets. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles froll clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be l6-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use SO-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and bOOll, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer's recommendations. AERIAL APPLICATION: Apply in a minilDUDl of S gallons of water per acre., Avoid aplication to humans, animals, or non-target areas. FlagDIen and loaders should avoid inhala::ion of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin and should wash thoroughly before eating and at the end of each day's operation. MIXING PROCE~ORES • ALL USES: Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials. or crop injury or sprayer clogging may result. Fill tank 1/4 full with clean water, nitrosen solution, or complete liquid fertilizer. Start agitation. Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. Pour product directly froll container into tank. Let It wet and settle into solution. Continue fUling tank untll 90, full. Increase agitation if necessary to maintain surface action. Finish fUllng tank. Kaintaln agll:atlon to avoid separation of materials. Clean sprhy .. r thoroughly igqediately after use by flushing system with water containing a detergent. \ BESt AVAIUBLE COPY I • ). I .'

) ) • -7- CORR - PIELD AND SV!!'l' CEH!JtAL IRSTl.UCTIOIS PROZINE is most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall or overhead irrigation ia received within 7 days after application. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction or germination before rain or irrigation, use shallow tillage (such as rotary hoe), and make certain corn seeds are below the tilled area. For maximum effectiveness, wait at least 7 to 10 daya before cultivating early postemergence treatments. Pield Corn CroWD in Hinimua Tillage Systems PROZINE may be used in Lield corn in lIi,imum tillage systems where adequate tillage is practiced to provide a seedbed without living vegetation and which allows for good seed coverage. The use of no-till planters in minimum tilage corn under conditions which do not allow good soil coverage of the corn seed can result in reduced crop stand or injury if PROZINE contacts the, germinating corn seed. Check equipment to ensure good seed coverage. Apply in 20 or more gallons of spray solution per acre. PREEMERGENCE (Surface Treatment After Planting) Apply PROZINE preemergence after planting. but before weeds or crop emerge. Apply in water or liqid fertilizer with ground equipment or in water with aircraft. Refer to section on application in water or liquid fertilizer for liquid fertilizer compatibility determinations. DO NOT INCORPORATE or serious corn injury will result. EARLY POSTEMERGENCE Apply PROZINE after corn emergence, but no later than when corn is in the 4- leaf stage of growth and when weeds are no more than I inch high, excepl Z~r Texas panicWi which must be no larger than the I to " 1"ell.f s tllge. losUaer'tJnca app'11catf.ODs to corn auat " _de "fora ceQ' t.acbes '12 f

For best results, treat.ents should be incorporated as soon as possible after application but incorporation must be completed within 7 day. after application. If adequate lIOisture is not received within 7 day. after aPllication, PROZINE must be incorporated with a sweep­ type or rolling cultivator. Under situations of low rainfall or soil lIOisture, when deep germinating weeds such as shattercane or field sandbur are anticipated, mechanical incorporation will provide best results. If cultivation is needed after application and incorporation, the depth of cut should be no deeper than the d&pth of cut used to incorporate. DO NOT APPLY PROZINE in field corn or grain sorghUIII more than once per crop season. WEEDS CONTROLLED: When applied as directed, shattercane (SorghUIII bicolor) and wild proso millet (Panicum miliaceUIII) in addition to the WEED SPECIES CONTROLLED previously listed. , ADDITIONAL HERBICIDE APPLICATION: Postemergence incorporated applications of PROZINE can be applied in field corn or grain sorghUIII previously treated with herbicides registered for use in field corn or grain sorghum.
