) -4- A. General Information Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of each product used in tank mixtures. Tank mixtures are per­ mitted only in those states where the tank mix partner i~ registered. Medal is a selective herbicide recommended as a p~eplant surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in :,onbearing citrus, corn, cotton, nonbearing grapes, peanl s, pod crops, potatoes, safflowers, grain or forage sorghum, soybeans, stone fruits, and tree nuts. Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plant­ ings. Where directions specify a Medal tank mixture with AAtrex formulations, other brands of atrazine may be used. Follow the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the AAtrex or respective atrazine product label, if other brands of atrazine are used. : Certain states may have Established rate limitations for atr&zine within specific geographical areas. Consult your state lead pesticide control agency for additional information. It is a violation of this label to deviate from state use regulations. If Medal is incorporated, any supplemental tillac;e before plar.ting must not exceed the depth of inorporation. Dry weather following preemergence application of Medal or a ta:.k mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivatp. if weeds develop. Wilere reference is made to weeds partially controlled, par­ tial control can e:.ther mean erratic control frcm good to poor, Qr consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. Precaution: Injury may occur following the use of Hedal under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during eariy development of the crop. BEST AVALAILE COP, 'J I r: I . ') '- . .... ,

1. Soil Textures and Herbicide Rates Where rates are based on coarse-, medium-, or fine-textured so.s, it is understood that soil textural classes are gen­ erally categorized as follows: Coarse Sand Loamy sand Sandy loam Medium Loam Silt Silt loam Fine Silty clay loam Sandy clay loam Silty clay Sandy clay Clay loam Clay Within rate ranges in the rate tables and elsewhere on this label, use the lower rate on soils relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter; use the higher rate on soils relatively fir.e-textured or high in organic matter. Note: Medal may be applied preemergence alone, or in combination with tank mix partners specified on this label, following preplant incorporated herbicides when used according to their label recommendations, provided that such use is not prohibited on the respective labels. Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible man­ ner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any oU,er materials, or crop damage or clogging of the appliction device may result. j 2. Mixing Instructic~ Medal Alone: Mix Medal with water or fluid fertiljzer and apply as a spray. Fill the spray tank 1/2-3/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer, add t~~ proper amount of Medal, then add the rest of the water or luid fertilizer. Fro­ vide sufficient agitation during m:."ing and application to maintain a uniform emulsion. l:a!lk Mixtures: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full with water" and start agitation; add 2,4-D, AAtrex., Balan., Banvel, Basagran., Bladex., Broadstrike+Dual, Butyrace, But ox­ onee, Canopye, Caparo:;'. 4L, Command., Cotoran., Eptame,;.

For tank mixtures with AAtrex, see additional mix­ ing instructions on the AAtrex label. F~r each mixture, check compatibility with fluid fertilizer, as described below, before mixing in spray tank. For all tank mixtures, agitate during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension. *See Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with Bladex, Cotoran, and with AAtrex or Princep plus Prowl under the appropriate tank mixture section. Compatibility Test: Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with herbicide/s) each time before use. Be especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid fertilizers as serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur. Commercial application equipment ~ay improve compatibility in some instances. The following test assumes a spray vol­ ume of 25 gals. per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibil­ ity using this procedure:

1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.
2. To ~ of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts. per 100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To th jars, add the appropriate amount of herbi­ cide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addi­ tion, shake nr stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test fol- . lows: Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to each jar. BEST AVALAILE COP,

-, ) 4. -7- Liqyid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 mil­ liliters to each jar. Note: For Medal tank mixtures with AAtrex + Princep, use 1/3-1/2 the amount of AAtrex specified above and the remainder as Princep, depending on whether the 1:2 or 1:1 ratio of AAtrex to Princep is to be applied. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mix­ tures stand 15 minutes and then look for separntion, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mix­ ture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbi­ cide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add 1/2 of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If incom­ patibility is still observed, do not use the mixture. 3. Application Procedyres Application Timing Medal alone or in some tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides may be applied for weed control in certain crops at various times. Refer to the given crop section of the label to determine if application timings listed below are recommended. (1) Preplant Surface-Apv~: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, Medal alone and some Medal tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 dAYs before planting certain crops. Use only split applications for treatments made 30-45 day~ before planting, with 2/3 the recommended broadcast rate for the crop and soil te>:ture 1pplied initiall.y and the remaining 1/3' at planting. Treatments less than 30 days before: planting ay be made either as a split or a single' application. Refe= to individual crop to determine if early preplnnt surface application is recommended.:' 'J:£' weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a, tank mixture combination with a contact herbicide tfo: example, Gramoxone Extra or Roundup). Observe direc-' tions for use, precautions, and restrictions on th~ , '. label of the contact herbicide. To the extent possi-' ble, do not move treated soil out of the row or move: - , untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished. 8EST AVA~LAILE COP, .

) -8- (2) Preplant Incorporated: Apply Medal to the soil and incorporate into the top 2 inches of soil within 14 days before planting using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar implement capable of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use a pre­ plant incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If crop will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate Medal after bed formation unless specified otherwise. (3) Preemergence: Apply Medal during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or crops emerge. Special Application Procedures (1) California Only (Corn. Safflower. Pod CrQps) : Preplant Incorporated: Broadcast Medal to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or similar implement set to till 4-6 inches deep. For more thorough incorporation, till the soil in tW0 different directions (cross-till). Crops may be planted on flat surface or on beds. Caution should be used when forming the beds that only soil from the Medal treated zone is used (i.e., untreated soil should not be brought to soil sur­ face). If the application is made to preformed beds, incorporate Medal with a tillage implement set to till 24 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the tilled (Medal treated) soil on the beds. Preemergence: Apply Medal after planting. water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7-10 days. (2) Fall Application (only in WI. MN. NO. SO. and North of Route 20 in the states of IL. IA. and NEt. Following crop harvest, apply to corn or soybean stubble after October 15, but before ground freezes. Use on medium and fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted to corn or soybeans the next spring. Ground may be tilled before or after applicatiou. Do not exceed a 2- to 3-inch incorporation dep~~' if tilled after treatment. Note If making a fall application, do not make a subsequent appli- cation of Medal in the spring. .

Only water may be used as a carrier. Screens in suction and in-line strainers should be 50-mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine as 100-mesh be used with some nozzles. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain up to 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in sspension. Use a minimum of 5 gals. of spray mixture per acre. Maximum re­ ommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean aLc immediately after each use. : Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and increase application accuracy. Care should be taken when using automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the rated working pressure and flow ranges of the nozzles selected. Nozzle screens should be used when recommended by the manufacturer. All nozzles should be placed on 20-inch centers, except flooding types which should be placed on 40-inch centers. When Flat Fan type nozzles are used, angles of 80° or 110 0 are recommended. Always read and follow the manufacturer's directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips. Aerial A9plication: Apply Medal in water alone or in tank mixtures with AAtrex, Lorox, Lexone, or Sencor in a minimum total volume of 2 gals. per acre by aircraft. Medal may also be applied in combination with Prowl, Balan, or Treflan. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to assure that spray will be control­ lable within the target area when used according to label directions, make applicatitr.s at a maximum height of 10 ft., using low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants, apply Medal alone or Medal + AAtrex by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or app).1 Medal + Lexone, Sencor, or Lorox at a minimum upwind dis-' tance of 300 ft. from sensitive plants. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and lod-. ers should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged; contact with skin, and should wash thcroughly before eating, and at the end of each day's operation.

) -11- Center Pivot Irrigation plication: Medal alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides on this label which are registered for center pivot application may be applied in irrigation water preemergence (after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. Apply this product only through a center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, or oter experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and respon­ sible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Qperating Instructions

1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropri­ ately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a func­ tional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to pre­ vent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking con­ trols to automatically shut off the pesticide inje~-~ tion pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a fur.c­ tional pressure switch which will stop the water p~p motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affecteq: , :
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive' displacement injection pump (e. g., diaphragm pump :or' , , piston pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system intel'lock. '3EST AVA:LAILECOP'

) 4. ) -12- 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part of water to 1 part herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into the center pivot system. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide in suspen­ sion. 9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 10. Apply in 1/2-1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (1/2 inch) on coarser-textured soils and the higher volume (1 inch) on finer-textured soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may reduce weed control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil. Precaution for center pivot applications; Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently. unac­ ceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distri but ion patterns overlap excesRiyely. crop injury may &esult. Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers Many dry bulk granular fertili4rs may be impregnated or coated with Medal alone or selected Medal tank mixtures which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant­ surface application which are used to control weeds in crops on the Medal label and are not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. When applying Medal or Medal mixtures w;.th dry bulk granu­ lar fertilizers, follow all directions for use and precau­ tjons on the respective product labels regarding target crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application methods (including timing of application), and rotational crops. All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blending, registration, labeling, and application are the responsibility of the individual ar •. ti/ol.· company selling the herbicide/fertilizer mixture. Prepare the herbicide/fertilizer mixtures by using any:· closed drum, belt, ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk· fertilizer blender. Nozzles used to spray Medal and Meai·: mixtures onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uni­ form spray coverage. Care should bE< taken to aim the sp:o:a~'. directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying tne walls of the blender. BEST AVAJLAILE COPl

) ) -13- If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material, such as Agsorbe or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry free-flowing mixture. Absorp­ tive materials should be added only after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended int.~ +-.he fertilizer mixture. Best application results will be c~~ained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a size similar to that of the fer­ tilizer material being used. Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight. Calculate amounts of Medal, AAtrex, AAtrex + Princep, Bladex, Princep, Sencor, Lexone, or Sonalan by the follow­ ing formula: 2.000 lbs. of fertilizer per acre 2.000 lbs. of fertilizer per acre ptS./A of liquid X or flowable product lbs./A of dry X product = pts. of liquid or = flowable product per ton of fertilizer lbs. of dry product per ton of fertilizer Pneumatic (Compressed Air) APplication (Medal Alone): High humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixture to build up or plug the distributor head. air tubes, or nozzle deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix Medal with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1-4 pts./gal. of Medal. Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct injecton systems. Drying agents should not be used when using Aromatic 200. Notes: (1) Mixtures of Medal and Aromatic 200 must be used on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop injury may. result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fer-' tilizer solutions for spraying applications. (2) When impregnating Medal in a blender before application, a drier mixture can be attained by substituting a drying agent for, Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb FG or drying agents of;" 6/30 particle size are recommended. (3) Drying agents are , not recommended for use with On-The-Go impregnation equip,; ment. BEST AVA~LA.LE COP,

) .. -14- Precautions: To avoid potential for explosion. II) Do not impregnate Medal or Medal mixtures on ammonium nitrate. potassium nitrate. or sodium nitrate. either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use Medal or Medal mixtures on straight limestone. since absorption will not be achieved .. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated. APplication Apply 200-700 pounds of the herhicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. For best results, appl~ the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. Uniform application of the herbi­ cide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop injury. Non-uniform application may also result in unsatisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mix­ ture into the soil may improve weed contI:ol. On fine- or medium-textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make applications approxi­ mately 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured soils, make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. Precaution: To avoid crop injury. do not use the herbi­ cide/fertilizer mixture on crops where bedding occurs. B.
