Following many years of continuous use of this product and chem­
ically related products, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on 
this label hav·· been reported which cannot be effectively con­
trolled by this and related herbi~ides. Where this is known or 
suspected and weeds controlled by this product are expected to be 
present along with resistant biotypes, we recommend the use of 
this product in registered combinations or in sequence with other 
registered herbicides which are not triazines. If only resistant 
biotypes are expected to be present, use a registered non­
triazine herbicide. Consult with your State Agricultural 
Extension Service for specific recommendations. 
When applied before weeds emerge, Igran DF enters weeds through 
their roots after gp.rmination. Preemergence effectiveness de­
penes, therefore, on rainfall or irrigation to move Igran OF into 
the soil. Very dry soil conditions may necessitate a shallow 
cUltivation. When applied to emerged weeds, Igran OF provides 
foliar kn?ckdown of existing weeds and residual control of later 
germinating weeds. 
In each case where a range of rates is given, the lower rate 
should be used on relatively coarse-textured soils or soils low 
in organic matte~; the higher rate shoulr be used on relatively 
fine-textured soils or soils high in organic matter. 
For Igran alone preemergence on winter wheat or sorghum, 
nonpressurized liquid fertilizer may replace all or part of the 
water as carrier for ground application. 
TO avoid ~9ray drift, do not apply under windy co~ditions. Avoid 
spray ove,lap bec~use crop injury may result. 
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS 
LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR PERFORMANCE, AND/OR ILLEGAL 
RESIDUES.

Application Procedures 
Ground application: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped 
with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be 
certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and are the same size. 
Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at the start of each 
season and when changing carriers. Unless vtherwise srecified, 
use a minimum of 20 gal of spray mixture/A for all preplant 
incorporated, preplant surface, preemergence, and postemergence 
applications (with or without oil or surfactant) with ground 
equipment. 
Use a pump with capacity to (Ii maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles, 
and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in 
suspension. Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear 
action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should 
provide a minimum of 20 gai/minute/IOO gal tank size circulated 
through a correctly positioned sparger tube or jets. 
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from 
clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should 
be 16-mesh or coarsec. Do not place a screen in the recircula­
tion llne. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and 
boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manu­
facturer's recommendations. 
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as 
follows: 
band width in inches 
row width in inches x broadcast rate 
per acre '" amount needed 
per acre of field 
Aerial application: Use aerial application only where broadcast 
applications are specified. Apply in a minimum of 5 gal of 
water. Avoid applications under conditions where uniform,.colo'er­
age cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may::'tf~t"ur. 
In order to assure that spray will be controllable within .t~e :,.,,:,,:, 
target area when used according to label directions, make " '51'P1i- :, ",'" 
cations at a maximum height of lQ ft., using low drift nozzles at ',,' 
a maximum pressure of 40 psi, dlld restrict application to;:-pet,iods ",' 
when wind speed doe.'! not exceed 10 mph. To assure that st>.r~Y" ' 
will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget pIQnt~, 
apply Igran OF alone, or in combination with Milogard., by ~ir- ",." 
craft at a minimum upwind distance of 300 ft. from sensiti~e, 
plants, or apply Igriln OF + AAtrex. and Igran OF + AAtrex·"'·'.' 
paraquat at a minimu'l upwind distance of 500 ft. from sens1t!~e 
plants. For additiolal precautions, see Precautionary st£l6e.ments 
sect ion at the end 0' the label.

Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders 
should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with 
skin, and should wash thoroughly before eating and at the end of 
each day's operation. 
A fertilizer: Nitrogen solution or 
rep ace aTl or part of the water 
as a carrier for preemergence, preplant incorporated, or preplant 
surface ground apvlication on corn and sorghum. Check the 
compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer and/or 
nitrogen solution as shown below before use. 
Compatibility Test: Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even 
within the same analysis, always check compatibility with herbi­
cide(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 equip­
ment may improve compatibility in some instances. The following 
test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals. per acre. For other 
spray volumes, make appropriate changes in .he ingredients. 
Check compatibility using this procedure: 
1) Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart j,rs with 
tight lids. 
2) To one of the jars add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a 
compatibility agent apl -oved for this use, such as Compex. or 
Unite. (1/4 tsp. is equ~valent to 2 pts. per 100 gals. 
spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
3) To both jars add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If 
morc than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry 
herbicides first, flowables ne~t, and emulsifiable concen­
trates last. After each additior., shake or stir gently to 
thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for 
this test follows: 
Dry herbicides: 
Liquid herbicides: 
For each pound to be applied pef afre, 
add 1.5 level teaspoons to each:~a~. 
For each pint to be 
0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 
jar.

4) After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and 
invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 
minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipi­
tates, 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 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 foll~wing methods of 
improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbicide(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 incompatibility is still observed, do not use 
the mixture. 
Application in water plus emulsifiable oi or oil concentrate: 
Addlng emulsifiable oil (petroleum derived, petroleum-derived oil 
concentrate, or single or mixed crop-derived oil concentrate) to 
postemergence water-based sprays in fallow may improve weed con­
t rol. 
Use one of the following properly emulsified: 
1. A suitable oil concentrate containing at least 1% but not 
more than 20% suitable emuls'fier or surfactant blend. 
2. Petroleum-derived oil containlP~ at least 1% suitable emulsi­
fier. 
cr, Note: In the event of a compatibility problem when mixing oil 
with Igran DF and water, a compatibility agent such as 
Compex or Unite should be used. Any of the above oils 
contaminated with water or other materials can cause 
compatibility problems. 
Mixing procedures - all uses: (1l Be sure sprayer is cle~n wnd

Precautions: 1) TO avoid illegal residues or crop injury, fields 
on which Igran OF has been applied should not be plQntpd to any 
era other than wheat or barle for 9 months followin( J"Llica-
tlon. W eat growlng on t In y covere or expose <Llb.~(»r--
areas (clay knobs), are more susceptible to yellowing from appli­
cations of Igran OF. This yellowing is usually temporary. 
Note: To avoid illegal residues, do not feed green forage or 
graze treated areas to livestock for six months following 
application. 
Grain Sorghum 
Igran OF may be aprlied alone or in tank mix combination with 
either AAtre; or Milogard prior to planting with shallow in­
corporation, at planting time, or immediately following planting, 
but before weeds and sorghum emerqe. Igran OF may also be 
applied in tank mix combination with AAtrex anJ paraquat where 
grain sorghum will be planted directly lnto cover crop, estab­
lished sad, or in previous crop residues. Apply during or after 
planting, but before sorghum emerges. Do not apply to emerqed 
sorghum. When applying preplant with shallow incorporation, 
apply within 7 weeks of plantinq and incorporate into the tcp 1-2 
inches of soil using a rolling cultivator, rotary hoe, spike­
tooth harrow, or similar implement. For sorghum planted on beds, 
apply and incorporate after bed formation. 
Precautions: 1) In case of be 
replanted Into SOl prev10usly treate WIt Igran OF or Igran 
combinations. 2) Do not apply a second broadcast application, or

Winter Weed .Control in Texas: For postemergence control of 
winter weeds onl
1, such as henbit (purple top), seedling dock, 
and annual thlst e on fall bedded land in the Texas Gulf Coast 
and 81acklands of Texas, apply 0.75 to 1 lb. of Igran OF per 
acre, postemergence to the weeds in the fall or winter to land 
that will be planted to sorghum the following spring. For best 
results, add a suitable surfactant, such as X-77, at the rate of 
0.5% of the spray volume, an emulsifiable oil at the rate of 1.0% 
of the spray volume, or an oil concentrate at the rate of 1 qt. 
per acre. 
Nor~al programs of weed control may be used in the following 
SO! Ihum crop, 
Note: To avoid illegal residues or crop injury, do not plant any 
crop except grain sorghum the spring following this treatment. 
Precautions: 19ran OF alone and Igran OF combinations - 1) To 
avoid crop injury, apply only on sorghum planted after the mini­
mum soil tern erature has reached 60°F or more for at least three 
consecutIve ays. Do not walt more than two days after plant-
~~) apply. 00 noe apply over emerged sorghum, or crop injury 
may occur. 3) Rainfall or overhead irri ation at the time of 
iorghum emergence an untl t e sorg urn IS Inc .es ta may 
cause injury to sorghum. 4) 00 not apply to millets, sudan-
sor hum h brids, or sor hum breedin stocks, or in'ur rna occur. 
App lcations may resu t In crop InJury w en rna e to sorg urn 
growing on alkali soils, ci'\liche outcroppings, or where cuts, 
fills, or erosion have ex osed calcareous subsoil. 6) To avoid 
concentratIon 0 er lCI e In t.e see urrow, 0 not make a 
broadcast applIcation to sorghum planted in furrows dpo,er than 
two inches. Width of the band should not exceed the width of the 
bottom of the furrow. 7) 00 not apply a second applIcation to 
the same crop, or injury may occur. 
~otp (1gran OF alone and Igran OF combillations): To avoid • 
illegal l:esidues, do not graze or feed forage from treatetl'l:t'reas.

Suggestions for Crop Rotation: 
Following Igran DF Alone: 
1) Sorghum atubble should be plowed (disk or moldboard) prior to 
planting the next crop. 
2) Rot at ional crops may be plant ed as follc.ws: 
4 months: winter wheat 
7 months or longer: all other crops -, 
following normal agricultural practices and planting dates. 
Following Igran OF + AAtrex and Igran OF + AAtrex + paraquat: 
1) Land treated with Igran OF + AAtrex should not be planted to 
any crop' xcept corn or sorghum until the following year, or 
injury may occur. 2) If applied after June 10, do not rotate 
with crl ps ~Ither than corn or sorghum the next year, or injury 
may occur. 3) Injury may occur to soybeans planted in north 
c~ntral ac,d northwest Iowa, sottth central and southwest 
Minnesota, sOllth2ast South Oakc,ta, and northeast Nebraska the 
year follo~ing an application on soils having a calcareous sur­
face layer. 4) 00 not plant sugar beets, ~obacco, vegetables 
(including dry beans), spring-seeded legumes, and g~asses the 
following year, or injury may occur. 
Following Igran DF + Milogard: 
Sorghum, cot ton, or corn may be planted 12 months after applica­
tion. All other crops may be planted 18 months after applica-
t ion. 
When applying Igran combinations, see the General Information 
section, caution statements, and precautions listed on the 
AAtrex and Milogard labels for further information.

Tank Mixtures for Wheat-Sorghum-Fallow 
If weeds are present at time of application (in late July or 
August following wheat harvest), Igran OF may be tar~ mixed with 
AAtrex to control existing annual weeds. Broadcast 2-2.5 Ibs. of 
Igran DF plus 6 pts. of AAtr~x 4L (4LC) (or 3.75 Ibs. of AAtrex 
sow, or 3.3 Ibs. of A~trex Nine-O) per acre. Add 1-2 pts. of a 
non:.onic surfactant (such as X-77) per 100 gals.-of spray mix­
ture Add Igran DF to the spray tank fIrst and thoroughly mix 
with the water. Then add the AAtrex, followed by the surfactant. 
Use the 2.5 lb. rate of Igran OF if weeds are 4-6 inches tall. 
This mixture will not control weeds taller than 6 inches. Plant 
sorghum into the wheat stubble the following spring with minimum 
dlsturbance of the SOlI. ~se ~ surface planter or a planter 
leaving a shallow furrow. If ~eeds are present at the time of 
sorghum planting, remove them with a sweep plow or other suitable 
implement before planting. Ref2r to the AAtrex label for further 
directions, precautions, and limltations. 
Note: To avoid illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage 
f~om treated areas.
