2 USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughl y 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 Simazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter groundwater which may be used as drinking water. Simazine has been found in groundwater. Users are advised not to apply simazine to sand and loamy sand soils where the water table (groundwater) is close to the surface and where these soils are very permeable, i.e., well-drained. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location of groundwater.

Product must not be mixed/loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any product spill or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad, which means that the pad must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain a minimum of 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. 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 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 or loading sites.

Additional state-imposed requirements regarding well-head setbacks and operational area containment must be observed.

Product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of intermittent streams or rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. Product must not be applied within 66 feet of the points where field surface water runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 ft. of natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is applied to highly erodible land, the 66 foot buffer or setback from runoff points must be planted to crop or seeded with grass or other suitable crop.

This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or t o intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.

One of the following restrictions must be used in applying simazine to tile-outletted terraced fields containing standpipes: x Do not apply within 66 feet of standpipes in tile-outletted terraced fields. x Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field and immediately incorporate it to a depth of 2-3 inches in the entire field. x Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field under a no-till practice only when a high crop residue management practice is practiced. High crop residue management is described as a crop management practice where little or no crop residue is removed from the field during and after crop harvest.

NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY: This product is toxic to pl ants 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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION SIMAZINE 4L is a herbicide that should be applied before weeds emerge or following removal of weed growth. It controls a wide variety of annual broadleaf and grass weeds when used at selective rates in agricultural crops and ornamental plantings. When used at higher, non-selective rates in crop areas, it also controls many perennial broadleaf and grass weeds. Since SIMAZINE 4L enters weeds mainly through their roots, rainfall or irrigation is needed to move it into the root zone. Very dry conditions and lack of rainfall following application may necessitate shallow cultivation.

Simazine controls most annual broadleaf and grass weeds such as:

Alyssum Knawel (German Moss) Annual Bluegrass Lambsquarters Annual Morningglory Nightshade Annual Ryegrass Pepperweed Barnyardgrass (Watergrass) Pigweed Burclover Pineappleweed Carelessweed Prickly Lettuce C a r p e t w e e d P u r s l a n e Common Chickweed Ragweed Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.) Rattail Fescue Downy Brome (Cheat) Redmaids Fall Panicum Russian Thistle Fiddleneck Shepherdspurse F i l a r e e S i g n a l g r a s s (Brachiaria spp.) Fireweed Silver Hairgrass Fivehook Bassia Smartweed Flora's Paintbrush Spanish Needles Florida Pusley Speedwell Foxtails Tansymustard

4 Goosegrass Wild Mustard Groundsel Wild Oats H e n b i t W i t c h g r a s s Junglerice Yellow Flower Pepperweed

Where a range of application rates is given, use the low rate on coarser textured soil and soil lower in organic matter; use the high rate on finer textured soil and soil higher in organic matter.

SIMAZINE 4L is a flowable formulation to be mixed with water and applied as a spray. Add SIMAZINE 4L to the spray tank during or after filling. Sufficient hydraulic (jet) or mechanical agitation should be provided during mixing and application to keep the material in suspension.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING MANY YEARS OF CONTINUOUS USE OF SIMAZINE AND CHEMICALLY RELATED PRODUCTS, BIOTYPES OF SOME OF THE WEEDS LISTED ON THIS LABEL HAVE BEEN REPORTED WHICH CANNOT BE EFFECTIVELY CONTROLLED BY THIS AND RELATED HERBICIDES. WHERE THIS IS KNOWN OR SUSPECTED AND WEEDS CONTROLLED BY THIS PRODUCT ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT ALONG WITH RESISTANT BIOT YPES, 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.

For resistance management, SIMAZINE 4L contains a Group 5 herbicide – simazine. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to SIMAZINE 4L and other Group 5 herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.

To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of SIMAZINE 4L or other Group 5 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. x 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. x 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. x Fields should be scouted prior to application to identify the weed species present and their growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. x 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. x 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. x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for pesticide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative.

TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TEST Compatibility test: To determine the tank mix compatibility of SI MAZINE 4L with liquid fertiliz er, crop oil, spreaders, or recommended pesticides, use this test method. Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray in corn. Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, check compatibility each time before use. Be especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid fertilizers as serious compatibility problems are more apt to occur. Commercial application equipment may improve compatib ility in some instances. Check compatibility using this procedure:

1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart glass jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars add ¼ teaspoon of a compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pints per 100 gallons spray). Cap and shake until mixed. Examples of compatibility agents include Complex® and Unite®. (NOTE: Complex and Unite are not registered for use in California.)
3. 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, cap and shake until thoroughly mixed. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows (assuming a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre):

5

Dry herbicides: For each pound per acre add 1.5 teaspoons to each jar. Fluff up wettable powder products before measuring.

Liquid herbicides: For each pint per acre add 0.5 teaspoons to each jar.

For a spray volume other than 25 gallons per acre, change the teaspoons added to each jar as follows:

25 gallons x no. teaspoons given above = teaspoons to add desired gallons spray volume per acre to each jar

4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten. Shake jars vigorously one minute. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, grease, gels, medium to 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 probably 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 ½ of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other ½ to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If still incompatible, do not use the materials mixed in the same spray tank.

EQUIPMENT GROUND APPLICATION: Use conventional spray equipment with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Screens in nozzles as well as those in suction and inline strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Use hydraulic or mechanical agitation during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspension. If hydraulic agitation is used, the pump should also provide sufficient agitation in the tank to keep the mixture in suspension. Wash sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after use.

Add SIMAZINE 4L directly to the spray tank partially filled with clear water. Add any tank mix ingredients, and then add remainder of water. Provide constant agitation during mixing to keep mixture in suspension. Agitation should not be so violent as to cause air bubbles to form in the mixture. For ground application where the amount of water is not specified, apply SIMAZINE 4L in 20- 40 gals. of water per acre.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Ground Boom Applications: x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. x User must maintain a 15 foot (4.6 meter) in-field downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of streams and rivers, as well as high-tide line for all estuarine/marine environments.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may result.

Importance of Droplet Size: An effective way to reduce spry 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 x 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. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Boom Height - Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

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.

6 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.

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.

Handheld Technology Application Take precautions to minimize drift.

FRUIT AND NUT CROPS Apply the spray to the orchard or vineyard floor, avoiding contact with fruit, foliage, or stems. Make application only to orchards or groves where trees have been established one year or more. Make only one application per year, except as noted otherwise. Recommended rates are based on broadcast treatment. For band applications around trees in fruit and nut plantings, reduce the broadcast rate of SIMAZINE 4L and water per acre in proportion to the areas actually sprayed. Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns are restricted to spot treatment only for the following uses: Citrus (Grapefruit, Orange, Lemons); Pome Fruit (Apples, Pears); Stone Fruits (Cherries [sweet, tart], Peaches, Plums, Nectarines); Tree Nuts (Pecans, Walnuts, Filberts, Almonds, Macadamia Nuts); Berry and Small Fruit (Blueberries, Blackberries, Loganberries, Raspberries, Grapes, Lowbush blueberries); and Tropical and Sub-tropical Fruits (Avocado, Olive).

Refer to the Surflan 75W or Surflan A.S. label for complete tank mix directions and observe all precautions and limitations on all labels in tank mix.

FIELD CROPS CORN: Nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as a carrier for SIMAZINE 4L. Do not apply after corn has emerged as there is danger of liquid fertilizers causing crop injury. Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns are restricted to spot treatment only for sweet corn.

Preemergence: Apply before weeds and corn emerge. Apply a maximum of 2 qts per acre as a single preemergence application on soils that are not highly erodible or on highly erodible soils, as defined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, if at least 30% of the soil is covered with plant residues. If a second treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application, the total simazine applied may not exceed 2.5 qts. per acre per calendar year. Apply a maximum of 1.6 qts per acre as a single preemergence application on highly erodible soils if <30% of the soil is covered with plant residues.

Preplant: Apply in the spring after plowing at the appropriate rate in the table below. Apply before, during or after final seedbed preparation. If soil is tilled or worked after application, avoid deep incorporation of SIMAZINE 4L. Best results will be obtained when SIMAZINE 4L is applied within 2 weeks before planting. Under dry weather conditions, preplant applications may give better weed control.

Soil Texture Broadcast rate per acre Coarse-textured soil: Sand, silt, and loam that is low in organic matter 2 qts. Medium-textured soil: Soil containing a moderate amount of clay and organic matter 2.4 qts. Fine-textured soil: Loam that is high in organic matter and clay (including dark prairie soils of Corn Belt) 2.5 qts. Organic soil: Peat, muck and high organic clay 2.5 qts.

To control quackgrass: Apply 3-4 qts. per acre in the fall. Plow two to three weeks later, or if erosion is a problem, delay plowing until spring. Do not plant any crop except corn in the spring following treatment. Do not graze treated areas. If weeds develop, particularly under relatively dry conditions, a shallow cultivation will generally result in better weed control.

Winter Annual Weed Control – Preemergence Fall Application For preemergence control of winter annual weeds, such as common chickweed, henbit, shepherds purse, tansy mustard, wild mustard, annual bluegrass, downy brome, and others, broadcast 1 quart per acre of SIMAZINE 4L after harvest of the preceding crop and prior to weed emergence on land to be planted only to corn the following year. A tillage operation may precede the application. Do not apply to frozen ground. If SIMAZINE 4L is used in a fall corn weed control program, do not exceed 1.5 quarts of SIMAZINE 4L preemergence the following spring.

Precautions: 1) Do not apply more than 2.5 qts. of SIMAZINE 4L to corn in any one year. 2) Land treated with SIMAZINE 4L should not be planted to any crop except corn until the following year as injury may occur. 3) After harvest of a treated crop, plow and thoroughly till the soil in fall or spring to minimize possible injury to spring-seeded rotational crop, regardless of the rate used. 4) If more than 2.5 qts. of SIMAZINE 4L is used per acre (or equivalent rate in a band), a crop of untreated corn should precede the next rotational crop. 5) Do not apply SIMAZINE 4L preplant incorporated in corn in the High Plains and intermountain areas of the West (including central and western Kansas, western Nebraska, western Oklahoma, and the panhandle of Texas) where rainfall is sparse and erratic or where irrigation is required. 6) In the High Plains and intermountain areas of the West where rainfall is sparse and erratic or wher e irrigation is required, use SIMAZINE 4L to control weeds in corn only when corn is to follow corn, or a crop of untreated corn is to precede another rotational crop. 7) In western Minnesota and eastern parts of the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas, do not plant soybeans following corn treated with SIMAZINE 4L if more than 2 qts. of SIMAZINE 4L per acre (or equivalent rate in a band) were applied, as injury may occur. 8) Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans), spring-seeded small grains, or small seeded legumes and grasses the year after SIMAZINE 4L application, as injury may occur. 9) Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for field corn: 60 days. 10) Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for sweet corn: 45 days.

SIMAZINE 4L PLUS ATRAZINE 4L* TANK MIX COMBINATION FOR WEED CONTROL IN CORN: The tank mix combination of SIMAZINE 4L plus ATRAZINE 4L may be applied either before, during or after planting corn but before weeds emerge to control early germinating annual weeds and late competing grasses. One application will control most annual broadleaf and grass weeds including fall panicum, crabgrass, barnyardgrass, foxtail, velvetleaf, carpetweed, morningglory, lambsquarters, pigweed and ragweed. Preplant Application: Apply the tank mixture as a broadcast treatment in the spring after plowing either before, during or after final seedbed preparation. If soil is tilled or worked after application, avoid deep incorporati on of SIMAZINE 4L plus ATRAZINE 4L. Best results will be obtained when the tank mix is applied within two weeks before planting. Preemergence Application: Apply the tank mixture du ring or shortly after planting but prior to crop and weed emergence.

*NOTE: Tank mix with Atrazine 4L is not registered for use in California.
