HELEIIA BRAND ATRAZWE HERBICIDE will control mos.t annual broad1eaf

and grass weeds in corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and certain other crops.

It is also effective for control of most annual and many perennial

·broadleaf and grass weeds in noncrop areas and industrial sites.

HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE may be applied before or after weeds emerge.

Since HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE acts mainly through root· absorption, its

effectiveness depends on rainfall or irrigation to move it into root

zone. Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing

will generally result in better weed control.

HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE is a wettable powder that should be mixed with

water and applied as a spray. MaKe a slurry by adding HELENA BRAND

ATRAZINE to water. Pour the slurry into the spray tank during or

after filling. Sufficient hydraulic (jet) or mechanical agitation

must be provided during mixing and application to keep the material

in suspension.

Wash sprayer thoroughly after use.

Care should be taken to avoid using HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE where

adjacent desirab)e trees, shrubs, or plants might be injured.

Store HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE in a dry place.

In each case where a range of rates is given, the lower rate ~hould

be used on light soils and soils low in organic matter; the higher

rate should be used on heavy soils and soils high in organic matter.

GROUND APPLICATION: For uniform distribution in broadcast applications,

TeeJet 8003 or 8004 fan type or similar nozzles with openings of equal

or greater size should be used. For band applications, use TeeJet

8003-E or 8004-E or similar type nozzles. Screens in nozzles as well as those

in suction and in-line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh size.

A suitable pump with capacity to deliver 10-12 gpm should be used and

operating pressure should be 35-40 psi. Use 20-40 gals. of water

per acre to assure even coverage unless otherwise specified.

AERIAL APPLICATION: Use only where broadcast· app-l ications a~· specified.

Apply a minimum of 1 gallon of water for each"]" lb. to 1 1/2 lbs. of

HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE to be applied per acre.

Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage canr.ot be

obtained or where excessive-spray drift may occur .

. (flSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING - Avoid appl ication directly to humil'ols

or animals.

"For combining with HELENA BRAND ATRf.ZINE, use a crop oil desigriatl!d for

use with Atrazine containing at least 1 percent suitable efI'Iuls-ifier

Several oils of this type are on the market. Oils contaminated Iith Iater 0" other materials can cause compatibility problems and or crop injury, Observe all cautions and 111"ltations on labeling of all pro­ ducts used in mixtures. ,-IIOCEDURES: 1) Thoroughly clean sprayer prior to use. 00 not use sprayer contaminated with 2.4-0 or other materials as corn damage or sprayer clogging may result. 2) In a separate container, make a thin slurry of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE in water. thoroughly wetting the Atrazine. J) Fill the spray tank with water. allowing for the addition of the HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE. 4) With the agitation system in operation. add the Atrazine slurry. 5) Add the emulsifiable oil last, 6) Empty the tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent a buildup of oil in the tank. Keep the agitation system in operation to avoid separation of the oil from -the water in the spray mixture still remaining in the tank. 7) If an oil film starts to build up in the tank drain the tank and clean out with a strong detergent solution or solvent. 8) Clean the sprayer THOROUGHLY immediately after use by flushing the system with watpr containing a detergent. NOTE: 1) Do not use oil in Atrazine sprays when corn is under stress from prolonged cold, wet weather. poor fertility, or other factors, or ~hen corn is wet and succulent from recent rainfall as crop injury may occur. 2) Do not use oil in sprays when treating inbred lines or any breeding stock as .injury may occur. 3) Adding other insecticides. herbicides. liquid fertilizers. or other materials is not reconmended Ii th Atrazine and emulSifiable oil in water because they may cause compatibility problems or crop injury. 4) Store and handle emulsifiable oil carefully. Oil contaminated with even a small amount of water may not emulsify properly when added to the tank. 5) Do not make more than one application of HELENA BRAND ATRAZINE and emulsifiable oil in water per season. NORTHERN NUTGRASS OR YELLOW NUTS EDGE (Cyperus esculentus) CONTROL: Broadcast 5 lbs. per acre preplant. pre-emergence. or post-emergence before nutgrass is more than 1 1/2 Inches high. If applied before nutgrass begins growth, cultiVate within 2-3 weeks. If applied after nutgrass has emerged. cultivate within 10-14 days. The maximum application rate of corn is 3 Ihs. a.i. (3-3/4 lb. ATRAZINE BOW) per acre per calendar year. Application for quackgrass supprssln . in corn are restricted to a spring application only. No fall applications are permitted. QUACKGRASS CONTROL ON LAND GOING INTO CORN PRODUCTION: SplJ-t aplic"t iO:l: Broadcast 1-3/4 Ibs. per acre in the spring and plow 1-3 weeks latr.

PRECAUTIONS: I) Do not apply more than 3.75 lbs. of ATRAZINF. B:JW to corn in anyone year. Z) Land treated with ATRAZINE BOW should nL': be planted to any crop except corn until the following year or injury m"y orcur. 3) Following harvest of a treated crop. plow (moldboard or diskplow) und thoroughly till the soil in the fall or spring to minimize possible injury 7 NF to rotational spring-seeded crops, reg"rdless of the rate used. 4) If ATRA,.I .
