Always predetermine the compatibility of Micro-Tech or labeled tank
IIIixtures of Micro-Tech with water carrier or sprayable fluid
fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in
advance. See the "STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY
TEST" section in this label to determine the compatibility of this
product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for use with
sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier.
NOTE: Micro-Tech and all tank mixtures listed in the "DIRECTION FOR
USE" section may be applied in sprayable fluid fertilizers.
Mix Micro-Tech or labeled tanlt mixture of Micro-Tech with the
appropriate carrier as follows:
1. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling
port.
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with
the appropriate carrier.
(Micro-Tech C 1992-1) 6 (4/27/92)
-------------------
'/
3. If a compatibility agent is necessary to improve mixing or to
prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or
precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in
the tank. Use only compatibility agents, cleared by FDA for
this use. Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary
statements and all other information appearing on the selected
compatibility agent label. Check for adequate agitation.
4. If a wettable powder or dry flowable formulation is used, make
a slurry with water and add it slowly through the screen into
the tank. continue agitation.
5. If a flowable formulation is used, add slowly through screen
into the tank. Mixing and compatibility may be improved when
flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water and
added to the tank in diluted form.
6. Add Micro-Tech slowly through the screen into the tank. Mixing
and compatibility may be improved when this product is
prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in
diluted form.
7. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. If Gramoxone™
Extra is used, add the required amount near the end of the
filling process. Remove hose from tank immediately after
filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source.
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank
are sprayed. NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any
time thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before
spraying is resumed.
Keep by-pass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming.
Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50
mesh. Carefully select prcper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist.
Check for even distribution of spray droplets. To reduce loss of
the chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at nozzle pressures
below 40 psi.

STANDARD SPRAYABLB FLUID
FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TBST
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid
fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to make their
combined use of practical vaiue. This may be due to certain
characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. A simple test
using small quantities of the components is suggested to provide
compatibility potential.
The test follows:
A. Materials Required For A compatibility Test
(Micro-Tech C 1992-1) 7 (4/27/92 )
I ' I, 7
1. Two one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked "with" and
"without") .
2. TEAspoons (for a more exacting test, a five to ten milliliter
(mI.) pipette or graduated cylinder is desirable).
3. Sprayable fluid fertilizer to be tested.
4. The herbicide chemicals to be mixed.
5. A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuvant is to help
keep the fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension,
if this assistance is needed.)
B. Procedure
1. Add one pint of the sprayable fluid fertilizer that will be
used or other herbicide carrier to each jar marked "with" and
"without".
Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer
To Two Quart Jars.
WITH WITHOUT
2. To the jar marked "with", add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters
of a suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten
seconds to mix. (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of
two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.)
To Jar Marked "With"
Add Compatibility Agent
And Shake to Mix.

3. To each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s) listed
in the following tables. If more than one is used, add them
separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added
first, flowables second and liquid last. Shake gently five to
ten seconds after each addition.

This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per
acre. For changes in spray volume or herbicide concentration, make
appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test. Regardless of
spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to
two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1.2 milliliters,
three pints = 3/8 teaspoon or 1.8 milliliters per pint of sprayable
fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer.
C. Observations and Decisions
1. If the herbicide(s) and the sprayable fluid fertilizer are
compatible.
2. If a compatibility agent is necessary.
Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars
for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other
precipitates. Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically
mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily
particles in the solution.
If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar
"with" the compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the
herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank.
If incompatibility as descibed above occurs in the jar "without"
the adjuvant but not in the jar "with" adjuvant, the use of a
compatibility adjuvant is recommended.
Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically
for one-half hour. If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and
additives can be resuspended by shaking, .commercial application is
possible. An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top
after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom
of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density
of the fertilizers.
If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in th·,
foregoing test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid
fertilizer may be used for the premixing. If it is not compatible
without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be
premixed with water before adding to the spray tank.

use nozzles or nozzle configurations which dispense spray or fine
spray droplets. Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and
do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure. Ensure
uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped
application, use mechanical marking systems only, HUMAN FLAGGERS
PROHIBITED!
Application with Dry Bulk Pertilizer-The herbicide-dry fertilizer
impregnation process (In-Plant and On-Board systems) must be
completed only by commercial fertilizer or chemical dealerships
properly equipped for this procedure. Contact Monsanto Company for
additional information regarding recommended equipment and methods
for herbicide-fertilizer impregnation ap9lications.
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated with Micro-Tech or the tank
mixtures of Micro-Tech plus atrazine or Micro-Tech plus Bladex on
corn. Micro-Tech and these tank mixtures must be applied with 200
to 450 pounds of dry bulk fertilizer per acre and shallowly
incorporated within 7 days prior to planting. On medium and fine
textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned,
Le., reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till
situations, applications can be made up to 30 days before planting
to allow moisture to move the herbicide-fertilizer mixture intc the
soil. On coarse textured soils, applications can be made up to 14
days prior to planting. The herbicide must be applied as

APPLICATION TIMING AND METHODS
Early Preplant Surface-This product and some labeled tank mixtures
of this product may be applied in no-till and other conservation
tillage systems before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before
planting =ertain crops. Split applications can be made 30 to 45
days prior to planting, with 60 percent of the recommended
broadcast rate applied initially and the remaining 40 percent
applied at planting. Applications made less than 30 days prior to
planting can be made either as a split or as a single application.
Refer to the individual crop to determine if early preplant
application is recommended. If weeds are present at the time of
application, apply this product in tank mixture with an appropriate
contact herbicide. Observe direction for use, precautions and
restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. During the
planting operation, be careful not to move untreated soil to the
surface or move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be
reduced.
Preplant Incorporation-This product and many of the labeled tank
mixtures may be mixed into the soil, using shallow incorporation
equipment, any time within 7 days prior to planting. Refer to the
crop to be treated in the "DIRECTIONS .FOR USE" section of this
label to determine if preplant incorporation is recommended. Apply
the recommended treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast
application. Precipitation or irrigation is required to bring
incorporated herbicide treatments into contact with germinating
weed seedlings. The amount of precipitation or irrigation required
depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic
matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. If weeds
emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate
immediately to improve performance.
NOTE: Do not incorporate unless specifically recommended in this
label for the crop and herbicide treatment selected.
Incorporation of this product and its labeled tank mixtures on
coarse soil types may reduce length of weed control due to

leaching with rainfall or irrigation. Incorporation is not)
recommended on coarse soils in the southeastern states.
i-Pass Incorporation (Surface Blend™): Shallowly incorporate
(Surface Blend) the treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the
soil. Equipment should be operated at manufacturer's designed speed
for incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the
herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design, including any
drag attachments, must be adequate to avoid soil ridging which may
result in streaked or reduced weed control. soil conditions,
including moisture content and crop residue levels, must be
suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing with the equipment
used for l-pass incorporation.
contact Monsanto Company for additional information regard~.ng
recommended equipment and methods for Surface Blend application.
2-Pass Incorporation: When 2-pass incorporation is used, shallowly
incorporate the herbicide treatment into the upper 1 to 2 inches of
the soil with equipment set to work the soil NO DEEPER THAN 4
INCHES. The second pass must be made at an angle to and no deeper
than the first pass to ensure proper distribution of the herbicide
treatment in the soil.
Pre emergence Surface Application-This product and all labeled tank
mixtures may be applied to the soil surface after planting and
prior to either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of last
preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after treatment, or if treatment
is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe
or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance.
Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after
application to move ~he herbicide treatment into the weed
germination zone. The amount of precipitation or overhead sprinkler
irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type
and percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inches is
normally adequate. Performance is improved when moisture is
received witbin 7 days after application and prior to weed
emergence. High intensity or excessive rainfall or excessive
irrigation after application may reduce control.
CUltivation Information-Delay cultivation after application for as
long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge. Shallowly
cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grass~s emerge. If
CUltivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction,
set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid
dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment. If a band
application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set
cultivator to throw soil into the row, covering the band.

restrictions on the label of the postemergence herbicide before
use of these products.
If emerged weeds exist at planting, the application of a contact
herbicide or tillage is recommended when possible to eliminate
existing weeds.

This tank mixture, when applied in a single application (alone or
in a 3-way combination with Bladex or Princep), split application
or as a sequential application to Bladex or Princep in early
preplant programs, will provide preemergence control or reduced
competition of listed annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.
If emerged weeds are present at the time of treatment Gramoxone
Extra or 2,4-0 should be added to the r~oduct according to the
directions for use on their respective product labels. If
unsatisfactory weed control occurs (due to excessively dry or
excessively wet conditions) following the earlier application, a
postemergence application of an appropriate labeled grass and/or
broadleaf weed herbicide may be used. If a postemergence
treatment includes the herbicide used early preplant, do not
exceed the labelled rate for corn on a given soil texture.
Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels for Micro
Tech, atrazine, Blade::, Princep, Gramoxone Extra, 2,4,-0 and
other post-emergence herbicides before use of these products.

*Use the lower rate where light weed infestation is exected and
the higher rate where heavy weed infestation is expected.
Use rates listed in this label when using the 4L formulation of
atrazine, Bladex or Princep. Use equivalent rates of the SOW or
90t dry flowable formulations of atrazine, Bladex or Princep. One
quart of the 4L formulation of atrazine, Bladex or Princep equals
1.25 pounds of the SOW and 1.1 pounds of the 90t dry flowable
formulations of atrazine, Bladex or Princep.
DO NOT use Bladex on coarse textured soils or soils of less than
1 percent organic matter.
Plant only corn, peanuts, sorghum (milo) or soybeans the year
following the use of this program. There is a possibility of crop
injury due to r.arryover of atrazine if soybeans are planted the
following year.
NOTE: Soil treated with Princep should not be planted to any crop
except corn for one year following treatment as crop injury
may occur. After harvest of the treated crop, plow and
thoroughly till the soil in the fall or spring to minimize
possible injury to spring seeded rotational crops.
