ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Cyanazine and atrazine are pesticides which can move (seep or travel) through soil and can contaminate groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Cyanazine an3 atrazine have been found in groundwater as a result of agricultural use. Users are advised not to apply cyanazinc where the water table (grolmdwater) is close to the surface and ..'hcrc the soils are very permeab]p (i.c., we1l-drained soils such as lOaJllY snnds). Your local agricultural aecncics can pt'ovide furthel." information on the type of soil in yO\J.r area and the locution of groundwat{'l.".

• 3 - Atrazine is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or wetlands. Do not apply ",-here runoff is likely to occur. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water by cleaning or equipment of disposal of wastes. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL STORAGE: Do not contaminate water, food. or feed b) storage or disposal. Po not use or store around the home environment. Avoid contact with water. In case of spill or leak, soak,.o with sand, earth or synthetic absorbent (do not use alkaline gbsorbents) and dispose of wastes in compliance with local, State and Federal regulations. PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: lIastes resulting from the use of this product may be dispvsed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.

If burned, stay out ot smoke. GENERAL INFORl!ATION BLADEX/Atrazinp (2: 1) BOil Herbicide is a selective preemergence helChicid,· p1ckage mix for the control of annual grasses and broadleaved weeds in field corn. The control of grasses is improved with this package mix. Consult your local Agricultural Extension Agent for help in determining soil type, organic matter content. and the most appropriate herbicirle rate for local conditions. lIhen BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOil Herbicid<! is used as directed on this label. the user can only plant field corn or rotate from corn to corn or sorghwn the following year.

• 4 - As a prcemcrgence herbicide BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOw is activ(> mainly through the roots, and therefore its effect on weeds is dependent on adequate rainfall to move the herbicide into the root zone. A ~otary hoeing or shallow cultivation is recommended if a rainfall or sprinkler irrigation has not occurred '.r1ithin about ten days after application of Bl.ADEX/Atrazine (2: 1) 80.1. 1-1oisture should be sufficient to wet the top 1. 1/2 to 2 inches of soi 1 or make the soil too wet to cultivate; for most soils one-half inch of moisture sufficient. Under conditions which delay weed germination, such as low temperatures, lack f soil surface moisture, or when germination extends OVer a long period. che effectiveness of the herbicide may be impaired. Rotary hoeing or a shallow cultivation may be of benefit under these circumstances. If the corn i::> cultivated. tillage should be shallow to minimize herbicide dilution in the soil. Should the corn stand be lost due to adverse weather conditions t the field can be replanted the same season to corn or sorghum. BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW is not effective when used preemergence on peat or muck soils. Do not use BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80w on sands or loamy sands (soils consisting of more than 70% and) containing less than 1% orBanic matter. BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW should be applied only once per crop season. Observe all cautions and limitations of labeling of all producLs used in mixtures. The effectivenpss of any combinations is generally dependent on weed spectrum, soil texture and soil organic matter content. APPLiCATION DIRECTIONS Generl Hixing and Spraying Directions Be sure the sprayer tank, boom and nozzles have been thoroughly flushd , . ..'ith clean water, if another pesticide has been used pn:,'.'iously. Sufficient jet or mechanical aeitat.ion should bp. provided during tlw filling operation and during application. Fill the spray tank at least one-half full of clean water and "'hile pump and agitator are running, add th(! recommended .,mount of BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) SOW to the tank, then fill with water to the desired level. (BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) BOW Herbicide can be premixed 8S a slurry before adding to the tank.) Allow the pump to run several minutes before application to ensure propel suspension and mixing of BLADEX/Atrazine (2: 1) SOW. If BLADEX/Atrazine (2: l) BOW is allowed to stand in a spray tank or nurse tank for an extended period (several hours or overnight), provide good agitation for several minutes before application to ensure proper suspension and mixing.

• 5 - Apply with flat fan (even flat fan or band application) or flooding nozzle in conjunction with 50-mesh nozzle screens and in-line screens. Cal"efully follow the nozzle manufacturer's recommendation for correct nozzle height. positioning and spacing. Check for uniform distribution or spray droplets. Apply at pressures of 20-40 psi to reduce chemical loss due to fine mist drift. Check nozzles, pressure, and output regularly to assure proper calibration and application. Apply the spray solution containing BUIDEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80w evenly to the soil surface using 15-30 gallons per acre for ground application. A rotary hoeing is recommended for those applications of BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W which are not incorporated at time of treatment or which do not receive adequate rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within about 10 deys after application. Preemergence, Preplant or Preplant Incorporated Apply BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W immediaLely before planting, at planting, or after planting, but before the crop has emerged. The removal of treated soil from seed row prior to or during planting operation may reduc(> the effectiveness of this product in the ro~ where preplant applications are used. Use BlADEX/Atrazine (2.1) SOW at 1.5 to 5 pounds per acre in broadcast treatments. (For band application, use proportionately less.) Adjust the rate of application for a given soil as closely as possible to the optimum rate given in table Preemergence, Preplant or Preplant Incorporated Broadcast Application R~tes of BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W on Gorn. BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) may be applied preemergence with liquid fertilizers. To apply 8U1DEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W with liquid fertilizer fill the spray tank at least one half full of liquid fertilizer and add the recommended amount of I'.LAl)EX/Atrazine (2: 1) 80W to the tank, then fill with liquid fertilizer to the desired level. 8LADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W must be premixed in water as a slurry before being added to the fertilizer. Sufficient jet or mechanical agitation should be provided dJring the filling operation and during application. If the fertilizer requirement is less than 15 gallons per acre, add sufficient water to increase the volume of the mixture to assure adequate volume for even distribution to the soil surface. If incorporation of preplant application of the fertilizer mixture is desired, use power cultivation equipment set for 2-3 inch depth, or a tandem disc set to penetrate 2-4 inches "hUe operating at 4-6 mph. Do not store BLADEX/Atrazine (2:1) 80W with liquid fertilizer in the sprayer or nurse tank.

• 6 - Check to assure the compatibility of BUDEX/Atrazine (2: 1) 8011 wi~h the liquid fertilizer prior to mixing in the spray tank. The follo\o,'ing j.:a test is a good indicator of compatibility. Mix proportionate quantities as indicated in a one pint jar. Invert jar ten times. Let stand 1/2 hour. If any separation or agglomeration has occurred, again invert jar ten times. If the mixture resuspends, commercial application is possible.
