A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering pesticide shipments to the mixing/loading site. NON-TARGET ORGANISMS ADVISORY This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift. GENERAL INFORMATION Observe all use precautions and limitations on the labels of each product used in tank-mixtures. Tank-mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank-mix partner is registered. Me-Too-Lachlor II is a herbicide recommended as a pre-plant surface- applied, pre-plant incorporated, or pre-emergence treatment in water or fluid f ertilizer f or c ontrol o f m ost a nnual g rasses a nd certain broadleaf weeds in Field corn and Popcorn. Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff o r w ind e rosion o f soil containing this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
- Avoid treating Powdery dry or Light sand soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
- Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly compacted surfaces.
- Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least one-half inch of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation. Where directions on this label specify, this product in tank-mixture with Atrazine formulations may be used. Follow the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the Atrazine product label. Note: Certain states may have established rate limitations for Atrazine 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 this product is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the depth of incorporation. Dry weather following pre-emergence application of this product or a tank-mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop. Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed control. Use Precautions: Injury may occur following the use of this product under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during early development of the crop. Do not use on Peat or Muck soils. Do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 30 days following application. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS This Product Alone: Mix this product with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as a spray. Fill the spray tank one-half to three-quarters full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of this product, then add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform emulsion. Tank-Mixtures: Fill the spray tank one-fourth full with water, and start agitation; add 2,4-D, Atrazine, Banvel ®, Linuron, Marksan ®, Prowl®, Simazine or Atrazine + Simazine, and allow it to become dispersed; then add this product, then add Gramoxone ® Extra, Landmaster ® BW, or Glyphosate if these products are being used; and finally the rest of the water. For tank-mixtures with Atrazine, Banvel, Linuron, Marksman, Prowl*, Simazine or Atrazine + Simazine, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as carrier, except in the Atrazine post-emergence and the Banvel post-emergence tank-mixes. For tank-mixtures with Atrazine, see additional mixing instructions on the Atrazine label. For each mixture, check compatibility with fluid fertilizer, as described in Appendix A of this label, 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 Atrazine or Simazine + Prowl under the appropriate tank-mixture section.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE For resistance management, this product is a Group 15 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 15 mode of action herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the Restricted-Entry Interval (REI) of 12 hours. Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: • Coveralls • Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate or viton • Shoes plus socks

554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 4 3/29/2021 1:46:41 PM To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of this product or other Group 15 mode of action herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. • Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. • Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed- competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. • Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed. • If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. • For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370. 1 ) SOIL TEXTURES AND HERBICIDE RATES Where rates are based on Coarse, Medium or Fine-textured soils, it is understood that soil textural classes are generally categorized as follows: Coarse Medium Fine Sand Loamy sand Sandy loam Loam Silt loam Silt Sandy clay loam Silty clay loam Clay loam Sandy clay Silty clay 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 Fine-textured or high in organic matter. Note: This product may be applied pre-emergence alone, or in combination with tank-mix partners specified on this label, following pre-plant 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 manner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, or crop damage or clogging of the application device may result. 2 ) APPLICATION PROCEDURES Application Timing This product alone or in some tank-mixtures with other labeled herbicides may be applied for weed control in Field corn and Popcorn at various times. Refer to the given crop section of the label to determine if application timings listed below are recommended. A ) Pre-plant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems only, this product alone and some tank-mixtures of this product may be applied up to 45 days before planting. Use only split applications for treatments made 30 to 45 days before planting, with two-thirds the recommended broadcast rate for the crop and soil texture applied initially and the remaining one-third at planting. Treatments less than 30 days before planting may be made either as a split or a single application. If weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a tank-mixture combination with a contact herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra or Glyphosate). Observe directions for use, use precautions, and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. To the extent possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished. B ) Pre-plant Incorporated: Apply this product 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 Field corn and Popcorn will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate this product after bed formation, unless specified otherwise. C ) Pre-emergence: Apply this product during planting (behind the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or Field corn and Popcorn emerge. 3 ) Special Application Procedures A) CA Only (Field corn and Popcorn)—Pre-plant Incorporated: Broadcast this product alone or with tank-mix partners listed on this label to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or similar implement set to till 4 to 6 inches deep. For more thorough incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions (cross-till). Field corn and Popcorn may be planted on flat surface or on beds. Caution should be used when forming the beds that only soil from this product’s treated zone is used (i.e., untreated soil should not be brought to soil surface). If the application is made to preformed beds, incorporate this product with a tillage implement set to till 2 to 4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the tilled (this product treated) soil on the beds. B) Pre-emergence: Apply this product after planting. Water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7 to 10 days. C) Fall Application (Only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and portions of NE and IL - see specific instructions for timing of application and other information): Do not apply to frozen ground. Use on Medium and Fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted to Field corn or Popcorn the next Spring. Ground may be tilled before or after application. Do not exceed a 2 to 3 inch incorporation depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a Spring application is made, the total rate of the Fall plus Spring applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for the specific crop, or illegal residues may result. D) Ground Application: Apply this product alone or in tank- mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For tank-mixtures of this product with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after use. Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the formula. band width in inches broadcast rate amount needed row width in inches x per acre = per acre of field Note: For information on applying in lower volumes of carrier, see “LOW CARRIER APPLICATION” in Appendix B.

Control of these weeds can be erratic, due partially to variable weather conditions. Control may be improved by following these suggested procedures: A) Use 2 to 2.67 pints per acre or the pre-plant surface- applied rates for this product alone or in tank-mixture, if allowed, when making pre-plant incorporated or pre- emergence applications. B) Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged weeds. If this product is to be applied pre-plant incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate this product if uniform 2 inch incorporation is achieved as recommended under “APPLICATION PROCEDURES” . C) Plant Field corn and Popcorn into moist soil immediately after tillage. If this product is to be used pre-emergence, apply at planting or immediately after planting. D) If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply one-half to 1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (one-half inch) on Coarse-textured soils and higher volume (1 inch) on Fine-textured soils . Also, refer to the section on “ CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION” for this method of applying this product. E) If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days after planting and application, weed control may be decreased. Under these conditions, a uniform, shallow cultivation is recommended as soon as weeds emerge. For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre and apply pre-emergence. For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre and apply through a center pivot irrigation system. 3 ) ROTATIONAL CROPS This Product Alone: A) If crop treated with this product alone is lost, either Field corn or Popcorn may be replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast application of this product. If the original application was banded and the second crop is planted in the untreated row middles, a second banded treatment may be applied. B) Barley, Oats, Rye, or Wheat may be planted 4.5 months following treatment; Alfalfa may be planted 4 months following application. Tomatoes may be planted 6 months following application. C) Field corn and Popcorn, in addition to Barley, Buckwheat, Cabbage, Cotton, Peanuts, Pod crops, Potatoes, Safflower, Grain or Forage Sorghum, Soybeans, Milo, Oats, Peppers, Rice, Root crops, Rye, Tobacco, or Wheat may be planted in the next Spring following treatment. Clover may be seeded 9 months following application. Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from Cotton to livestock. D) Following a lay-by treatment or multiple treatments applied the previous season, Field corn and Popcorn in addition to Cabbage, Peppers or Tobacco may be planted in the Spring. All other rotational crops may be planted 12 months after a lay-by application. This Product In Tank-Mixtures: For Rotational Crop restrictions for this product used in tank- mixtures, refer to the statements /restrictions above for this product and to the respective product labels of any mixing partner(s) for additional statements/restrictions. Important Notes: To avoid injury to rotational Alfalfa or Clover: (1) Do not apply more than 2 pounds a.i. per acre (2 pts. of this product) pre-emergence (including pre-plant surface, pre-plant incorporated, post-plant incorporated, etc.), and (2) Do not make lay- by or other post-emergent applications of this product. CORN (FIELD, POP) — THIS PRODUCT ALONE Apply this product either pre-plant surface, pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence using the appropriate rate specified below. 1 ) PRE-PLANT SURFACE-APPLIED Refer to instructions for use of this product alone under “APPLICATION PROCEDURES”.

554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 10 3/29/2021 1:46:42 PM APPENDICES APPENDIX A: 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 may improve compatibility in some instances. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure:
- Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.
- To one of the jars, add one-quarter teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex or Unite (one-quarter tsp. is equivalent to 2 pts. /100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
- To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows: Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to each jar. Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add one-half teaspoon or 2.5 mi lliliters to each jar. Note: For this product in tank-mixtures with Atrazine + Simazine, use one-third to one-half the amount of Atrazine specified above and the remainder as Simazine, depending on whether the 1:2 or 1:1 ratio of Atrazine to Simazine is to be applied.
- After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, 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 mixture by comparing the 2 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 herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add one-half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture. APPENDIX B: LOW CARRIER APPLICATION For Broadcast Ground Application Only Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator ®, Hagie, John Deere Hi-Cycle™, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot™, or Willmar Air Ride ®, that provide accurate and uniform application. 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 to 40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after each use. Note: 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° are recommended. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s directions for optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips. APPENDIX C: AERIAL APPLICATION Apply this product in water alone or in tank-mixtures with Atrazine, or Linuron in a minimum total volume of 2 gallons per acre by aircraft. This product may also be applied by air in combination with Prowl. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive non-target plants, apply this product alone or this product + Atrazine by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of 400 feet from sensitive plants, or apply this product + Linuron at a minimum upwind distance of 300 feet from sensitive plants. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. ME-TOO-LACHLOR V PAGE 10 of 9 MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS: • User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS: • Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all applications. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions. AERIAL APPLICATIONS: • Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilotsafety. • Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641). • If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is between 11 to 15 miles per hour, applicators must use three-fourths swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed- wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 11 3/29/2021 1:46:42 PM RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS Take precautions to minimize spray drift. APPENDIX D: CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION This product alone in tank-mixture with other herbicides on this label, which are registered for center pivot application, may be applied in irrigation water pre-emergence (after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. This product also may be applied post-emergence to the Field corn crop or Popcorn crop and pre-emergence to weeds in Field corn or Popcorn where post-emergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow all restrictions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. 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 other 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 responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut down the system and make the necessary adjustments should the need arise. Operating Instructions 1 . The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow. 2 . The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to prevent 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 controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 5 . The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 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 interlock. 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 more dilute mixture per hour will usually provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide in suspension. 9 . Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 1 0 . Apply in one-half to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (one-half inch) on Coarse-textured soils and the higher volume (1 inch) on Fine-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. Use Precautions: for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result. APPENDIX E: DRY BULK GRANULAR FERTILIZERS Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with this product alone or selected tank-mixtures of this product which are registered for pre-plant incorporated or pre-plant surface application which are used to control weeds in crops on this product label and are not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers. When applying this product or this product mixtures with dry bulk granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use and use precautions on the respective product labels regarding Field corn and Popcorn, 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 and /or 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 this product and this product mixtures onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform spray coverage. Care should be taken to aim the spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying the walls of the blender. If the herbicide /fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive material, such as Agsorb ® or Celatom MP-79 ®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, free- flowing mixture. Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has been thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. Best application results will be obtained by using a granule of six-thirtieth particle size or of a size similar to that of the fertilizer 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 this product, Atrazine, Atrazine + Simazine or Simazine by the following formula: 2,000 lbs. of fertilizer per acre x pts./A of liquid or flowable product
pints of liquid or flowable product per ton of fertilizer 2,000 lbs. of fertilizer per acre x lbs./A of dry product = pounds of dry product per ton of fertilizer Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application (This Product 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 this product with Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1 to 4 pints per gallon of this product. Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible /nonflammable petroleum product. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when using Aromatic 200. ME-TOO-LACHLOR V PAGE 11 of 9
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 12 3/29/2021 1:46:42 PM Notes: (1) Mixtures of this product 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 fertilizer solutions for spraying applications. (2) When impregnating this product 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 six-thirtieth particle size are recommended. (3) Drying agents are not recommended for use with the On-The-Go impregnation equipment. Use Precautions: To avoid potential for explosion, (1) Do not impregnate this product or this product mixtures on ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use this product or this product mixtures on straight limestone, since absorption will not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated. Application Apply 200 to 700 pounds of the herbicide /fertilizer mixture per acre. For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. Uniform application of the herbicide /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 mixture into the soil may improve weed control. 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 approximately 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. Use Precaution: To avoid crop injury, do not user the herbicide/fertilizer mixture on Field corn and Popcorn where bedding occurs.
