Wash thoroughly after use. Avoid contamination of feed and food. W.Otz¥tR HzoTttntJ LANC,U. - 2. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Do not contaminate water to be used on susceptlble crops or for domestic purposes. GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Read all label directions before using. EPTAM should be used only for recommended purposes and at recommended rates. DO NOT OVERDOSE. EPTAM i.s recommended for use on m~neral soils only. For incorporated applications, use equipment which has been proven to incorporate thoroughly to the recommended depth. In irrigated areas, do not apply EPTAM prior to preirrigation. Do not tank mix this product with insecticides or fungicides. When properly applied and weather conditions exist for normal plant growth through the season, EPTAM will not harm the treated crop nor should harmful soil residues remain beyond harvest. However, during germination and early growth, extended periods of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect, nematode. or plant disease attack the use of certain soil applied systemiC insecticides, highly saline or alkaline soil conditions, improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may create abnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. Also some of these abnormal conditions may weaken established crops: alfalfa. almond.s, etc. EPTAM used under these abnor­ mal conditions could result in crop injury.

• .... "'~ ::c~>e.2.T woKelt 'Pa.onal'o;./ Gt.L - :> EPTAM 6-E is a selective herbicide which for most uses must be mixed (incorporated) •. or injectd subsurface ,into the sOil. or applied in the irrigation water for control of weeds listed on this label. EPTAM controls weeds by.interfering with nor­ mal germination and seedling development. It does not control established weeds. INCORPORATION l APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: .' ,) Pour the recommended amount of EPTAM 6-E into the spray tank during the filling operations. App13 in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre using a properly calibrated. low-pressure sprayer having good agitation. The soil should be well worked and dry enough to permit good soil mixing (incorporation). EPTAM ay be combined with solution. slurry or suspension fertilizers. However. physical compatibility with these fluid fertilizers must be determined before combining in the spray tank. See special literature giving directions for these cobina~ions. Even though found to be compatible. constant agitation is necessary to keep the EPTAM evenly mixed with the fluid fertilizer. For all band applications. reduce dosage proportionately de­ pending upon the row spacing and band width to be treated.' INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS: EPTAM must be incorporated into the soil immediately to pre­ vent loss of the herbicide. Whenever possible. application and incorporation should be done in the same operation. SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) BEFORE PLANTING: Use power driven CUltivation equipment set to cut to a depth of 2 to 3 inches OR tandem discs set to cut to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. operated at 4 to 6 mph followed by a spiked­ tooth harrow or some other leveling device which extends be­ yond the ends of the discs. For more thorough mixing (for perennial grasses and in heavier soils) disc in two different di rections (cross disc).

INSERT ) )

· . EPTAM 6-E Booklet 4. INCORORATION AT OR AFTER PLANTING: Use power driven cultivation equipmerit set to cut to a depth of 2 to 3 inches OR on light soils only, ground driven tillers (rolling cultivators, rotary hoe. ,row wheels, etc.) set to cut to a depth of 1-1/2 inches and operated at 6 to 8 mph. When incorporating after planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed ot seedling. SUBSURFACE APPLICATfoN - AT PLANTING OR POST EMERGENCE Apply EPTAM 6-E in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. , Special equipment designed for subsurfaGe application MUST } be used. Injector and sweep units must be ri gidly mounted on the planter or cultivation unit. When using sweeps at planting they must be mounted ahead of the planters. SOIL INJECTION: Injector sanks must be spaced 2-1/2 to 3 inches apart and mounted in staggered positions to avoid trash buildup. Set shanks to inject EPTAM 1-1/2 to 3 inches below the soil surface. The width of the band in which weed control is desired will determine the number and spacing of injector shanks required per row. (Example: Four injector shanks spaced 3 inches apart give a 12-inch band). A broadcast ap­ plication can be made by increasing the number of shanks. The two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches on either side of it, EXCEPT IN COTTON WHERE THE DIS­ TANCE MUST BE 4 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. AND SUGAR BEETS WHERE THE DISTANCE MUST BE 2-3/4 INCHES ON EITHER .J SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. COVERED SWEEPS: Set the sweeps to run below the soil surface deep enough to cover the EPTAM with 2 to 3 inches of soil. Calibrate by measuring the spray band width at the back of the sweep. not the sweep width. For broadcast application stagger sweeps on double tool bar so they overlap sufficiently to allow spray bands to meet. NOTE: When applying with either injectors or sweeps, EPTAM must be applied deep enough to allow 2 to 3 inches of soil to remain over the treatment after the planting operations. PLANTING DIRECTIONS For pre-plant applications. seeding should be done as soon as possible after treatment to obtain a maximum period of weed control.

_PTAM 6-E Booklet IRRIGATION APPLICATION - POST-LANTING AND EstABLISHED CROPS 5. Meter EPTAM 6-E into the irrigtipn water using a metering device that will introduce a constant flow into the water. For flood, furrow, or sprinkler irrigation meter the EPTAM into the water during the entire etiod OR. for sprinkler irrigation, the EPTAM may be metered into suffident water to pentrate to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Time this EPTAM application to insure that proper penerati,on of the herbicide corresponds with the end of the irrigation period. Flush the lines and then turn the wat.er off promptly. Consult "RECOM­ MENDATIONS· on this label for proper timing of application for each crop for which irrigation application is recommended. Tailwater (run off water) from flood or furrow irrigation should be recirculated or used only on other corps which are registered for this type of application. CULTURAL PRACTICES FoLLOWING AppLiCAtION EPTAM is not persistent in the soil and susceptible weeds germin­ ating later during the growing season may not be controlled. Shallow cultivation or post emergence herbicides may be neces­ sary to control these susceptible weeds that escape control by EPTAM, as well as those weeds not susceptible to EPTAM. Do not cultivate deeper than the depth of the herbicide incorp­ oration. Where t01erant broadleaf weeds are a problem, re­ commended post emergence materials may also be applied. WEEDS CONTROLLED EPTAM will not control establiShed weeds.

" tPIAM b-t BOOklet I ::! • COTTON: Non-irrigated Areas Only - Cotton is susceptible to injury :from EPTAM. Follow DIRECTIONS 'FOR USE carefully to avoid crop injury. Before any application is made, the appli­ cator should familiarize himself with the subsurface concept of weed control in cotton. Applicat{on ust be made with specially designed subsuface sweps or injector shans. With the sweep equipment, one sweep is placed on each side of the row so that two bands of EPTAM are applied subsurface and 4 inches to each side of the cotton row. For injector shanks, the first injector to each side of the row should be 4 inches from the drill with additional shanks spaced 2-1/2 to 3 inches apart. Set the blade or injectors so that the EPTAM is placed 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the soil surface. For weed control in the drill a pre-emergence herbicide may be applied as an 8-inch band surface treatment to the drill row zone, or a directed contact spray, herbicidal oil or flame may be applied later. EPTAM MUST NOT BE APPLIED CLOSER THAN 4 INCHES TO THE COTTON DRILL. AT PLANTING TIME TREATMENT: For all soil types, apply by lnjector unlts or sweeps at the rate of 1/4 gallon EPTAM 6-E per broadcast acre. OR APPLICATION AFTER STAND IS ESTABLISHED: Apply 1/3 gallon EPTAM 6-E per broadcast acre. Use specially designed injector units or sweeps for application. If incorpo'rated application is to be made, use power driven rotary tillers set to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Apply after cotton has 2 to 4 leaves. Do not apply after first bolls open.
