for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
Engineering Control Statements
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets
the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the-handler PPE requirements may be reduced or
modified as specified in the WPS.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using
-the toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly
and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of
gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change
into clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water. Do not apply
directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Do not allow this material to drift onto neighboring crops or
noncrop areas or use in a manner or at a time other than in accordance with label
directions because animal, plant or crop injury, illegal residues, or other undesirable
results may occur.
Norflurazon can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions,
norflurazon may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via
dissolution in runoff water) for several months post-application. These include poorly
draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters,
frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water, areas with
in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from adjacent
surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage systems
that drain to surface water.
This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions
as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.

USE PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
2. Follow directions for each geographic region, soil type, and crop. Applications in
geographic regions not specifically mentioned should follow directions for use for
mid-South, Southeast, and TX (east of 1-35).
3. Do not graze or feed cotton forage. Do not graze or harvest soybean forage or
hay within 90 days of last Zorial Rapid 80 application.
Multiple Applications
Multiple or sequential applications can be made in certain geographic areas, but the
total quantity of Zorial Rapid 80 applied in a year must not exceed the broadcast rate in
pounds per acre for a given soil type. Follow Special Directions for each geographic
region, soil type, and crop.
Read mixing, application, and specific crop sections for additional recommendations·
and precautions.
Mixing Instructions
Zorial Rapid 80 may be tank mixed with other herbicides and liquid fertilizer. Herbicides
that may be tank mixed with Zorial Rapid 80 are listed in each crop section. All tank mix
products must be approved for use on the respective crop.

If herb,icide(s) do not ball-up or forll1 flakes, sludge, gels, oily films, layers, or other
precipitates, then the tested spray mix is compatible. Incompatibility in any of the above
described forms will occur within 5 minutes after mixing.
If components are incompatible, the use of a compatibility agent approved for
agricultural use on the respective crop is recommended. Rerun the above compatibility
test with a suitable compatibility agent C/4 teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pts.l100 gals. of
spray carrier).
Clean and calibrate the sprayer. Add Zorial Rapid 80 to the spray tank already filled
with 1/4 the required volume of the water. This will eliminate or minimize foaming.
Maintain agitation while filling and spraying. If a bypass line is used, discharge at the
bottom of the tank to minimize foaming.
Do not allow Zorial Rapid 80 spray mixture to remain in the spray tank overnight
because settling could occur and resuspension would be difficult.
Begin adding wettable powders, flowable liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, and
surfactants after the spray tank is 3/4 full. Continue agitation during the addition of all
the materials and while filling and spraying.
Products should be added to the spray tank in the following order:
1. Wettable powders and water-dispersible granules. Wettable powders should be
premixed in a small amount of water. Water-dispersible granules should be
added during filling. Allow both to disperse before other products are added.
The order of addition is not important.
2. Flowable liquids
3. Emulsifiable concentrates
4. Surfactants

Note: In addition, Zorial Rapid 80 may not always be compatible with other
formulations of dinitroaniline (DNA) herbicides. Always predetermine tank mix
compatibility by mixing small proportional quantities in a quart jar or other small
container. If after vigorous shaking there are large flakes, gel, sludge, or other signs of
incompatibility, do not spray the combination. Always follow the order of addition given
. in the Mixing Instructions section of this label.
Application Equipment
Ground Application: Apply the recommended rate of Zorial Rapid 80 in 10 or more
gals. of water per acre. Apply accurately with a fixed-boom sprayer. Equip sprayer with
fan-jet nozzle tips or equivalent for broadcast application. Use nozzle tips which
provide uniform coverage for band applications. Use screen size 50-mesh or larger.
Be sure to calculate the correct amount of product per acre for band applications. Use
the following formulas to determine the appropriate rate and volume per treated acre
needed for band applications:

The solution should be mixed to the maximum label rate and at no point on the field
should the solution be applied at a concentration any higher than this rate.
Aerial Application: Apply the recommended rate of Zorial Rapid 80 in 5 or more gals.
of water per acre. To minimize drift, use Zorial Rapid 80 with a drift control agent such
as Nalco-Trol®.
Aerial Drift Management
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The
interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for
spray drift. The applicator is responsible for conSidering all these factors when making
decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift
movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do
not apply to forestry applications, public health uses, or to applications using dry
formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed % the
length of the wingspan or rotor.
-10-
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be
pointed downward more than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in
the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below.
Aerial Drift Reduction AdviSOry Information
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift
management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage
and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see
Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume.
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For
many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform
coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the
airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended
practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase
drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With
most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets'. Consider using
low-drift nozzles. Solid 'stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest
droplets and the lowest drift.
Boom Length
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the
wingspaf) or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
-11-
Application Height
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10ft. above the top of the
largest plants, unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making
applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward.
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate
for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment
distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph .. However, many factors,
including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed.
Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high
inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger
droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when
conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is
high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable
directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature
inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common
on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground
fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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.

Sensitive Areas
This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive
areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or
endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from
the sensitive areas).
Application Methods
Preplantlncorporated Application (PPI) and Preplant Applications (PPA) for
cotton: Apply Zorial Rapid 80 at the recommended rate prior to planting. Incorporate
PPI applications within one week after application and not deeper than 2-3 inches.
Preemergence Surface Applications (PRE) for cotton, soybeans, and peanuts:
Apply Zorial Rapid 80 at the recommended rate prior to the emergence of the crop and
weeds. Do not apply when the crop is at or near emergence (soil cracking). Emerged
weeds must be controlled by tillage prior to application or tank mixing with a
postemergence herbicide, such as Gramoxone® or Roundup®.
Split Application - The Zorial SpliPM for cotton and soybeans: First apply 112 of the
Zorial Rapid 80 rate preplant incorporated, then apply the remaining 112 of the Zorial
Rapid 80 rate preemergence surface as recommended above.
The soil surface should be free of clods and existing weeds prior to Zorial Rapid 80
application. Use tillage or a postemergence herbicide to control emerged weeds.
Dry Bulk Fertilizer/Zorial Rapid 80 Blends for Use in Cotton
Zorial Rapid 80 may be coated onto dry bulk granular fertilizers for fall or spring early
preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence applications. Coating may be
conducted by either an in-plant bulk system or the on-board system. Individuals or
agents selling Zorial Rapid 80 in dry bulk fertilizer blends are responsible for following
all state and local regulations regarding fertilizer/herbicide blending. Rate
recommendations, restrictions, and weeds controlled are the same as for the sprayable
product. .
Slurry the desired amount of Zorial Rapid 80 in an adequate amount of water (3 pts.
water per lb. of Zorial Rapid 80) required to uniformly cover the fertilizer particle. Apply
slurry to fertilizer, using any closed rotary-drum mixer or other commonly used dry
fertilizer blender. Spray nozzles must be positioned to provide uniform coverage of
Zorial Rapid 80 onto fertilizer during mixing.
Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer/herbicide blend is too wet
for uniform application due to high humidity, high urea concentration, and/or low
fertilizer use rate. Slowly add the drying agent to the blend until a flowable mixture is
obtained. Drying agents are not recommended for use with on-board systems.
-13-
Apply 200-750 Ibs. of fertilizer/herbicide blend per acre. Application must be made
uniformly to the soil to prevent possible crop injury and to assure satisfactory weed
control. Coated fertilizer spread at 112 rate and overlapped to obtain a full rate will
insure a more uniform distribution. A shallow (1 to 2-inch) incorporation is desirable for
improved weed control. Deeper incorporation may result in unsatisfactory weed control.
Formula to determine herbicide used per ton of fertilizer:
Ibs. of product per acre
Ibs. of fertilizer per acre
Geographic Information
x 2000 = Ibs. of herbicide
per ton of fertilizer.

If the cotton, peanut, or soybean plant is stressed during early development, application
of Zorial Rapid 80 at the label rate may result in temporary bleaching or chlorosis of the
leaves from which the plant will recover. Do not apply in areas with poor drainage.
Replacement and Rotational Crops
For 16 months following the last Zorial Rapid 80 application, treated acreage must only
be rotated to alfalfa, cotton, soybeans, or peanuts. Visual symptoms of injury (loss of
pigment [whitening] in the leaf veins) and stand reduction may occur in rotational crops
of soybeans or peanuts in TX (west of 1-35), southwest OK, and NM planted within 16
months following the last Zorial Rapid 80 application. In AZ, treated acreage must only
be rotated to cotton.
Peanuts can be planted as a replacement crop (e.g., following hail damage) 30 days
after the last Zorial Rapid 80 application. Soybeans can be planted as a replacement
crop 45 days after the last Zorial Rapid 80 application. In areas of the mid-South,
-16-
Southeast, and TX (east of 1-35), a light reworking of the soil is recommended to
remove existing plant material and maintain herbicidal activity. Zorial Rapid 80 treated
acreage may be planted to a cover crop to control soil erosion. Cover crops should be
plowed under and not grazed or harvested for 16 months following the last application
of Zorial Rapid 80. Small grain cover crops should be broadcast planted rather than
drilled to reduce risk of injury.
If replanting to cotton, peanuts, or soybeans is necessary, a light reworking of the
topsoil will retain the herbicidal activity of Zorial Rapid 80. In AZ replanting will mean
irrigating up, so irrigation must be every other furrow.
SPECIFIC COTTON DIRECTIONS
Zorial Rapid 80 can be used for weed control in all cotton producing states, except CA.
The specific Directions for Use of Zorial Rapid 80 are given below for each geographic
region of use (see Replacement and Rotational Crops for description of geographic

injury and obtain optimum weed control with Zorial Rapid 80 in conservation tillage
programs:
1. Do not use in TX (west of 1-35), southwest OK, and NM in conservation tillage
programs where the soil is greater than 65% sand.
2. Use a postemergence herbicide, such as Gramoxone or Roundup, prior to
application of Zorial Rapid 80 or tank mix Zorial Rapid 80 with these products to
control emerged weeds.
3. Any cover crop must be killed, using an appropriate postemergence herbicide
prior to planting. Poor weed control may result if the cover crop is incompletely
killed or excessive plant debris is present when Zorial Rapid 80 is applied.
4. Cotton seed should be planted at least 1 inch deep using a planter having a
bubble or ripple-type coulter with a straight leading edge and press wheel (a
fluted coulter should not be used). The seed must be covered with at least 1
inch of soil following the planter press wheel. Avoid situations where water will
pond over the seed row. Crop injury will occur if seed is not adequately covered
with soil or water ponds over the seed row.

SPECIFIC PEANUT DIRECTIONS
Zorial Rapid 80 can be used for weed control in peanuts in the states of AL, FL, GA,
MS, NC, NM, OK, SC, TX, and VA.
Zorial Rapid 80 will control certain grass and broad leaf weeds when applied
preemergence at planting (see the Weeds Controlled section). Only one application
per crop is allowed in peanuts and this application must be made at planting. Zorial
Rapid 80 must be applied and incorporated by tillage, irrigation, or rainfall before weeds
germinate.
For use only in the states of AL, FL, GA, MS, NC, NM, OK, SC, TX, and VA on runner
type.or Virginia-type peanut cultivars, including 'Florunner', 'GK-T, 'GA-Runner',
'Southern Runner', 'NC 1', 'VA 938', 'NC 9', 'NC-V11', 'VA-C 92R', 'AgraTech VC-1',
and 'NC 1 ~C'.
Do not use Zorial Rapid 80 iri other states or on spanish peanut cultivars. Crop
tolerance of cultivars not listed on this label may not be acceptable.

Use the higher recommended rate when Zorial Rapid 80 is used alone or on fine­
textured soils, or where populations of susceptible weeds are very heavy. Use of rates
higher than 0.5 lb. Zorial Rapid 80 west of the Mississippi River will result in crop injury
and is not recommended.'
Apply as a preemergence surface application immediately after planting and before
weeds or crop emerge.
Use Precautions
• Do not use on peanuts that were treated preplant incorporated with Vernam®, as
crop injury will result. .00 not apply Zorial Rapid 80 when peanuts are near cracking,
at cracking, or emerged, as crop injury may result. Make only one application per
year.
-25- )
• Crop injury may result from the use of Zorial Rapid 80 following Dual when used on
very coarse-textured soils, such as sand.
• Delaying applications. of postemergence herbicides, such as Starfire®, may be
advisable if severe crop whitening is observed (greater than 50%). 'Do not apply in
areas with poor drainage.
Temporary whitening of the peanut leaves may occur. If the peanut plant is not
stressed by adverse environmental factors or diseases, this· whitening generally
dissipates within 4-6 weeks after planting. Early season whitening of peanuts from
Zorial Rapid 80 does not result in significant crop stunting, stand reduction, or yield
loss, if the plants are not stressed by environmental conditions, improper cultural
practices, or diseases. High levels of seedling disease, adverse environmental stress,
or improper application may result in increased levels of crop whitening or injury.
Sequential Applications/Tank Mixes in Peanuts
Read and follow all label directions for other herbicides listed below used in either
sequential applications or as tank mix partners with Zorial Rapid 80 for specific rate
recommendations, application timing, and precautions.
Application of Zorial Rapid 80 to freshly tilled soil will give optim~m weed control with
crop safety. However, if weeds are emerged at the time of application, use a suitable
burndown agent, such as Starfire (paraquat), to control emerged weeds. The burndown
herbicide may be applied prior to or tank mixed with the Zorial Rapid 80 treatment.
Zorial Rapid 80 is especially useful for control of Florida beggarweed when in weed
control programs that utilize cultivation or both preemergence and postemergence
herbicides.
Zorial Rapid 80 can be applied as a sequential overlay treatmentfollowing apreplant
incorporated application of Balan® OF, Sonalan® HFP, Prowl, or Dual. Do not apply
Zorial Rapid 80 to peanuts that have been treated with Vernam because of increased
potential for crop injury. Zorial Rapid 80 tank mixes with Lasso and Dual will increase
preemergence control of the "difficult to control species," such as Florida beggarweed
,and yellow nutsedge, and will broaden the spectrum of species controlled. Zorial Rapid
, 80 may be applied as a preemergence tank mix with Lasso and/or Dual.
Under most conditions, a burndown application of Starfire (or tank mixes of Starfire and
Basagran and/or 2,4-DB) applied early postemergence will improve residual control of
Florida beggarweed obtained with Zorial Rapid 80 by removing Florida beggarweeds
that germinated or emerged prior to the activation of Zorial Rapid 80. Sequential
applications of Classic, Pursuit®, and Butoxone® (2,4-DB) may be used following Zorial
Rapid 80 to control tolerant weeds. .

SPECIFIC ALFALFA DIRECTIONS
Zorial Rapid 80 can be used for weed control in alfalfa in the states of AL, AR, AZ, CA,
FL, GA, 10, LA, MS, NC, NM, NV, OK, OR, SC, TN, TX, WA, and the portions of CO,
KS, and MO south of 1-70. .
Use Precautions
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Zorial Rapid 80 is only recommended for preemergent weed control in established
alfalfa; do not apply to seedling alfalfa until it has emerged and been actively growing
for 5 months. .
Do not apply Zorial Rapid 80 within 28 days of harvest.
Soil disturbances, such as rodentburrowing and fire ant mounding, may result in
temporary bleaching or reduced growth in alfalfa treated with Zorial Rapid 80.
Do not apply to alfalfa planted with small grain or grass companion cover, unless injury
to the companion crop is acceptable. Alfalfa seed germinating after Zorial Rapid 80 is
activated in the soil will not become established.
Application Timing and Rates
Zorial Rapid 80 may be applied to healthy stands of established alfalfa at 1.25 Ibs./A;
do not apply to seedling alfalfa until it has emerged and been actively growing for 5
months. An additional 1.25 Ibs.lA may be applied later in the first crop year to extend
late season weed control. .
Application in each of the following crop years may be made at 1.25-2.5 Ibs./A,
depending upon weed pressure, soil texture, and cultural practices:
• Use the lower rate on coarse soils (sand, loamy sand, sandy loam) and when low
populations of easily controlled annual weeds are expected.
• Use the higher rate on medium- to fine-textured soils (sandy clay through clay) and­
when heavier weed pressure is expected. The 2.5 lb. maximum annual rate may be
applied in a single application or in split applications.
Do not apply more than 2.5 Ibs./A per calendar year.
Incorporation by rainfall, irrigation, or tillage (for example, by spring tine, disk, or spike
tooth harrow) is necessary to activate Zorial Rapid 80 in soil before weed seeds
germinate and emerge. A minimum of 112-1 .inch of rainfall or irrigation is necessary to
incorporate Zorial Rapid 80.
-27-
Application may be made during dormancy, as long as soil is not frozen or in actively
growing stands. On nondormant alfalfa, application should always follow mowing and
removal of hay to ensure spray reaches the soil surface. In nonirrigated areas which
have less than 15 inches annual moisture (rainfall and snow combined) or less than 4
inches spring rainfall, fall or winter applications are recommended. Fall or winter
applications are necessary for control of winter annual weeds.
Zorial Rapid 80 will not control emerged weeds. Established weeds or weeds that
emerge before activation may be controlled with postemergent herbicides that bear
labeling for use in the culture of alfalfa.
Tank Mixes
Zorial Rapid 80 may be tank mixed with any of the following products that bear labeling
