A. GENERAL INFORMATION 
Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of each product 
used in tank mixtures. Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states 
where the tank-mix partner is registered. 
Dual BE is a selective herbicide recommended as a preplant surface­
applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence treatment in water or 
fluid fertilizer for control of most annual grasses and certain broad leaf 
weeds in com (all types), cotton, peanuts, pod crops, potatoes, safflow­
ers, grain or forage sorghum, and soybeans. 
Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. 
Do not apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil 
containing this product to non-target areas. 
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion, 
1. Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are 
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface 
should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation. 
2. Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly com­
pacted surfaces. 
3. Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of treated 
fields to treat non-target crops unless at least 1/2 inch of rainfall has 
occurred between application and the first irrigation. 
Where directions specify a Dual BE tank mixture with AAtrex formulations, 
other brands of atrazine may be used. Follow the rates, recommenda­
tions, and limitations on the AAtrex or respective atrazine product label, if 
other brands of atrazine are used. 
Note: Certain states may have established rate limitations for atrazine 
within specific geographical areas. Consult your state lead pesticide 
control agency for additional information. It is a violation of this label to 
deviate from state use regulations. 
If Dual BE is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting must 
not exceed the depth of incorporation. 
Dry weather following preemergence application of Dual BE or iJ, trtr:ll<": 
mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop. ' 
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial cormtil can 
either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent control at a 
level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial weed

control. 
Precaution: Injury may occur following the use of Dual BE under abnor­
mally high soil moisture conditions during early development of the crop. 
1. SOIL TEXTURES AND HERBICIDE RATES 
Where rates are based on coarse-, medium-, or fine-textured soils, it is 
understood that soil textural classes are generally categorized as follows: 
Coarse 
Sand 
Loamy sand 
Sandy loam 
Medium 
Loam 
Silt loam 
Silt 
Fine 
Sandy clay loam 
Silty clay loam 
Clay loam 
Sandy clay 
Silty clay 
Clay 
Within rate ranges in the rate tables and elsewhere on this label, use the 
lower rate on soils relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter; use 
the higher rate on soils relatively fine-textured or high in organic matter. 
Note: Dual 8E may be applied preemergence alone, or in combination 
with tank-mix partners specified on this label, following preplant 
incorporated herbicides when used according to their label 
recommendations, provided that such use is not prohibited on the 
respective labels. 
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using. 
Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a 
sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, or crop 
damage or clogging of the application device may result. 
2. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
Dual BE Alone: Mix Dual 8E with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as a 
spray. Fill the spray tank '12-3/. full with water or lIuid fertilizer, add the 
proper amount of Dual 8E, then add the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. 
Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to maintain a 
uniform emulsion. 
Tank Mixtures: Fill the spray tank '/4 full with water, and start agitation; 
add 2,4-0, AAtrex, Balan, Banvel, Basagran, Bladex*, Broadstrike + Dual, .. 
Butoxone, Butyrac, Canopy, Caparol 4L, Command, Cotoran, Eptam,

replace all or part of the water as carrier, except in the AAtrex postemer­
gence and the Banvel postemergence tank mixes. For tank mixtures with 
AAtrex, see additional mixing instructions on the AAtrex label. For each 
mixture, check compatibility with fluid fertilizer, as described below, before 
mixing in spray tank. For all tank mixtures, agitate during mixing and 
application to maintain a uniform suspension. 
'See Special Mixing Instructions for tank mixtures with Cotoran, 
Bladex, Extrazine II, and with AAtrex or Princep + Prowl under the 
appropriate tank mixture section. 
For directions on how to conduct a compatibility test, see Appendix A. 
3. APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
Application Timing 
Dual BE alone or in some tank mixtures with other labeled herbicides may 
be applied for weed control in certain crops at various times. Refer to the 
given crop section of the label to determine if application timings listed 
below are recommended. 
1. Preplant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage 
systems only, Dual BE alone and some Dual BE tank mixtures may 
be applied up to 45 days before planting certain crops. Use only 
split applications for treatments made 30-45 days before planting, 
with 213 the recommended broadcast rate for the crop and soil tex­
ture applied initially and the remaining '13 at planting. Treatments 
less than 30 days before planting may be made either as a split or a 
single application. Refer to individual crop to determine if early pre­
plant surface application is recommended. If weeds are present at 
the time of treatment, apply in a tank-mixture combination with a 
contact herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra or Roundup). 
Observe directions for use, precautions, and restrictions on the label 
of the contact herbicide. To the extent possible, do not move treated 
soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the surface during-plant­
ing, or weed control will be diminished. 
2. Preplant Incorporated: Apply Dual BE to the soil and incorporate 
into the top 2 inches of soil within 14 days before planting, using a 
finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar implement capable 
of providing uniform 2-inch incorporation. Use a pre plant 
incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or when H 1"1p,~iod 
of dry weather after application is expected. If crop will be plahted 
on beds, apply and incorporate Dual BE after bed formation, .:Jr,i~ss 
specified otherwise. . . : : 
3. Preemergence: Apply Dual BE during planting (behind the planter) 
or after planting, but before \I\'Seds or crops emerge.

Special Application Procedures 
1. CA Only (Corn, Safflowers, Pod Crops): Preplant Incorporated: 
Broadcast Dual BE alone or with approved tank mix partners to the 
soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or similar implement set 
to 1:11 4-6 inches deep. For more thorough incorporation, till the soil 
in 2 different directions (cross-till). Crops may be planted on flat sur­
facs Of on beds. Caution should be used when forming the beds 
tha: only soil from the Dual 8E-treated zone is used (i.e., untreated 
soil should not be brought to soil surface). If the application is made 
to ~reformed beds, incorporate Dual BE with a tillage implement set 
to til 2-4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep 
the tilled (Dual BE-treated) soil on the beds. Preemergence: Apply 
Dual 8E after planting. Water with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 
7-1D days. 
2. Fall Application (Only in lA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and portions of NE 
and IL - See specific instructions in the Corn, Soybeans, and 
Pod Crops sections of this label for timing of application and 
other information): Do not apply to frozen ground. Use on medi­
um and fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be 
planted to com or soybeans the next spring. Ground may be tilled 
before or after application. Do not exceed a 2 to 3-inch incorpora­
tion depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a spring application is 
mace, the total rate of the fall plus spring applications must not 
exceed the maximum total rate for the specific crop, or illegal 
resdues may result. 
Ground Application: Apply Dual BE alone or in tank mixtures by ground 
equipment in a minimum of 10 gals. of spray mixture per acre, unless 
otherwise specified. 
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For Dual BE 
tank miXTUres with wettable powder or dry flowable formulations, screens 
and strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh. Rinse sprayer thoroughly 
with clean water immediately after use. 
Calculate the amount of herbicide needed for band treatment by the 
formula: 
band width in inches, broadcast rate 
row width in inches X per acre = 
amount needed 
per acre of 
field

'See General Information section. Control of these weeds can be 
erratic, due partially to variable weather conditions. Control may be 
improved by following these suggested procedures: 
1. Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged 
weeds. If Dual BE is to be applied preplant incorporated, this tillage 
may be used to incorporate Dual BE if uniform 2-inch incor;:or;::ion 
is achieved as recommended under Application Procedu.-es. 
2. Plant crop into moist soil immediately after tillage. If Dual BE. is to .

In all locations, apply t:> crop stubble after harvest 
when the sustained scil temperature at a 4-inch 
depth is less than 55'F and falling. In minimum-till or 
no-tillage systems on soils having greater than 2.5% 
organic matter, use 2.5-3.0 pts.!A on medium-tex­
tured and 3.0 ptsJA or. fine-textured soils. Do not 
apply to frozen ground. A tillage operation may pre­
cede the application. A fall andlor a spring tillage 
may follow application. but do not exceed an incorpo­
ration depth greater than 2-3 inches. Minimize furrow 
and ridge formation in the tillage operations. Note: I: 
a spring application is made, the total rate of the fall 
plus spring applications must not exceed the maxi­
mum total rate for com. or illegal residues may result. -
Use on medium- and fine-textured soils with mini­
mum-tillage or no-tillage systems in CO, lA, IL, IN, 
KS, KY, MN, MO, MT, ND. NE, SO, TN, WI, and WY. 
Apply 2/3 the recommended rate of Dual BE (2.5 
pts.!A on medium soils and 3.0 pts.!A on fine soils) as 
a split treatment 30-45 days before planting and the 
remainder at planting. Applications made less thai I 
30 days prior to planting may be as either a split o~ 
single treatment. Apply 2.0 pts.!A on coarse soils not 
more than 2 weeks prior to planting.

NY, OH, PA, RI, VA, VT, and WV, preplant surface 
applications may be applied following the directions 
for use above. If the amount of rainfall results in 
unsatisfactory length of weed control following the 
earlier treatment, a postemergence application of an 
appropriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed 
herbicide may be used, i.e., AAtrex, Beacon®, 
Bicep®, Exceed®, Accent®, Banvel, Basagran, 
bromoxynil (Brominal® or Buctril®), or 2,4-D. If the 
postemergence treatment includes the herbicide used 
preplant surface-applied, do not exceed the total 
labeled rate for com on a given soil texture. Observe 
all directions for use, precautions, and limitations on 
the label of the postemergent herbicide. 
2. Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence 
Follow instructions for use of Dual 8E alone under Application 
Procedures. On coarse soils, apply 1.5-2.0 pts.!A of Dual 8E IT 
organic matter content is less than 3%, or 2.0 pts.lA if organic mar"r 
content is 3% or greater. On medium soils, apply 2.0-2.5 pts.lA of 
Dua18E. On fine soils, apply 2.0-2.5 pts.lA of Dual 8E if organic 
matter content is less than 3%, or 2.5-3.0 pts.lA if organic matter 
content is 3% or greater. 
Lay-by: To extend the duration of weed control in com, a maximu'l 
rate of 3.0 pts.lA of Dual 8E may be applied after com emergence 
until the com plants reach 40 inches in height, following any prepl"-1t 
surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence herbicide 
application, including Dual 8E. For best results, applications shoul: 
be made to soil free of emerged weeds and directed towards the 
base of com plants in excess of 5 inches tall. The total Dual 8E ra:" 
applied on com during anyone crop year should not exceed 6.0 
pts.lA, depending on soil texture. 
Note for all applications to corn: To avoid possible illegal 
residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for 30 
days following application. 
Shattercane, Wild Proso Millet, Woolly Cupgrass, and Eclipta -
Partial Control: For more consistent partial control of shattercane. 
wild proso millet, woolly cupgrass, or eciipta, apply 1.5-2.0 pts.lA of 
Dual 8E preplant incorporated followed by 1.5-2.0 pts.lA of Dual 8E 
preemergence. Make the preemergence application during or after 
planting, but before weeds and com emerge. Apply the 2.0 ptsJA 
rate of Dual 8E when a heavy infestation of shattercane, wild proso 
millet, woolly cupgrass, or eclipta is expected. A shallow cultivation 
may be needed to control any late emerging weeds.

) 
) 
-17 -
Woolly Cupgrass and Wild Proso Millet Control Program: For 
c~ntrol of these species, use the following 3-step program: (1) Apply 
CJal BE early preplant, preplant incorporated, or preemergence at 
25 pts.lA on medium soils and 3.0 pts.lA on fine-textured soils up to 
It-'! maximum label rate. Lightly incorporate with a rotary hoe if rain­
kl does not occur within 5-7 days; (2) Apply a postemergence tank 
rr x of Beacon at 0.3B oz.lA or Exceed at 1 packet per 4 acres plus 
I-.xent SP at 0.33 oz.lA plus 1.0 ql. of crop oil concentrate plus 1.0 
g~I.!A of 2B~~ nitrogen, or the equivalent amount of ammonium sul­
f,,:e, when the grasses are 2-3 inches tall and the corn is at least 4 
ir,:hes tall; and (3) Cultivate 14-21 days after the postemergence 
a:plication. 
Notes: (1) Do not apply more than the labeled application rate for a 
g'/en soil texture per year, either as a single or split treatment, or 
jJI"gal residues may result. (2) In corn, Dual BE may be used up to 
4) pts.lA as either a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or pre­
e':1ergence treatment on soils having an organic matter content 
b"tween 6% and 20%. (3) In the event of escape of annual weeds 
fe· :owing a preplant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence 
tr"atment of Dual BE, follow with a postemergence application of an 
a:propriately labeled broadleaf and/or grass weed herbicide, i.e., 
A.!.,trex, Beacon, Bicep, Exceed, Accent, Banvel, Basagran, 
B-:>minal, Buctril, or 2,4-0. If the postemergence treatment includes 
tr.: herbicide used in the earlier treatment, do not exceed the total 
Ia:eled rate for corn on a given soil texture. (4) Brominal or Buctril 
rr.",y be applied postemergence alone or in tank-mix combination 
w~h AAtrex. Do not exceed 1.2 Ibs. a.i.lA of AAtrex in tank-mix 
ccrnbination with Brominal or Buctril postemergence. Refer to the 
A.!.,trex, Brominal, and Buctril labels for specific rates and 
pr:cautions. (5) Do not use Dual 8E on peat or muck soils. 
D. CORN - DUAL BE COMBINATIONS 
Dual 8E in any tank mixture for corn (except Dual BE + AAtrex postemer­
gence and Dual BE + Banvel postemergence) may be applied in water or 
fluid fer.ilizer. Use only water in the Dual BE + AAtrex or the Dual BE + 
Banvel :lostemergence tank mixes. 
Note: For all applications to corn, do not graze or feed forage from treat­
ed are2S for 30 days following application, or possible illegal residues 
may re::ult. 
IMPORTANT: FOR TANK MIXTURES WITH AATREX (OR OTHER 
BRANDS OF ATRAZINE) - If applying Dual 8E in tank mixture with 
AAtrex. all the restrictions and rate limitations on the AAtrex label 
must be followed if more restrictive/protective than those on this 
label. In addition, if AAtrex is/must be applied at rates lower than 
those re<:ommended on this label, broadleaf weed control may be 
affected. Refer to the AAtrex label for weeds controlled at the 
reduced rates.

1. Special Mixing Instructions for Dual BE and Bladex or Extrazine 
II Tank Mix 
(1) Fill the spray tank 1/4 full with water and start agitation. (2) Add a 
compatibility agent, such as Compex® or Unite®, at 2.0-3.0 pts.l100 
gals. of spray mixture. (3) Add the Bladex or Extrazine II and allow 
it to disperse. (4) Add other herbicides registered for tank mix with 
Bladex or Extrazine II (including Dual 8E) in the following order: dry 
flow abies and wettable powders first, then flowables, then emulsifi­
able concentrates. Add contact herbicides like Gramoxone Extra 
and Roundup last. (5) Allow each herbicide to fully disperse before 
adding the rest of the water or fluid fertilizer. 
Agitate during mixing and application to maintain a uniform suspen­
sion. Tank mixtures with Bladex or Extrazine II should not stand 
without agitation. Apply all the prepared spray solution during the 
spraying operation. Do not prepare more than is needed. 
If fluid fertilizers are used as carriers, check the compatibility of tank 
mixtures containing Bladex or Extrazine II. Refer to Appendix A: 
Compatibility Test. 
2. Special Mixing Instructions for Dual BE + AAtrex or Princep and 
Prowl 
(1) Fill the spray tank 1/4 full with water or fluid fertilizer and start 
agitation. (2) To aid compatibility, add a compatibility agent, such as 
Unite or X-77®, at 4.0 pts.!100 gals. of spray mixture. (3) Then add 
the AAtrex or Princep and allow it to become dispersed. (4) Then 
) add Dual 8E and Prowl 4E. (5) Add the rest of the water. 
3. Although a single formulation for AAtrex or Princep is listed in the 
rate tables, other formulations may be substituted, using the follow­
ing formula:

4L combined. 
Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Follow instructions for use of 
Dual BE alone under Application Procedures. Apply Dual 8E + AAtrex 
or Princep, or Dual BE + AAtrex + Princep, using the appropriate rates 
from Table 1. 
Note: Do not apply more than the labeled rate for a given soil texture per 
year, either as a split or single treatment, or illegal residues may result. 
Shattercane and Wild Proso Millet - Partial Control 
For more consistent partial control of shattercane or wild proso millet, 
where Dual BE is applied in tank mixture or sequentially with other 
registered corn herbicides, the following applications may be made: 
1. Apply 1.5-2.0 pts.!A of Dual BE + 2.0 Ibs. a.i.lA of AAtrex or Princep 
preplant incorporated, followed by 1.5-2.0 pts.!A of Dual BE pre­
emergence. Make the preemergence application during or after 
planting, but before weeds and corn emerge. 
2. Apply Dual BE at 2.0 pts.!A alone or in tank-mix combination with up 
to 2.0 Ibs. a.i. of AAtrex, Princep, Bladex, or Extrazine II preplant 
incorporated. Do not exceed the total rate of triazine herbicide rec­
ommended in combination with Dual 8E for corn grown on a given 
soil texture. Follow with a post-directed application of Evik® BOW at 
2.5 Ibs.!A. Refer to the Evik BOW label for specific directions for the 
post-directed application. 
3. Apply Eradicane® or Sutan® (or equivalent EPTe or butylate 
formulations) at labeled rates preplan! incorporated, followed by a 
preemergence application of Dual 8E at 1.5-2.0 pts.!A. Do no! use 
Eradicane or Sutan on soils where rapid degradation has been 
shown to occur. Make the preemergence application during or after 
planting, but before weeds and corn emerge. 
4. For partial control of wild proso millet only, apply Dual BE preemer­
gence at 1.5-2.0 pts.!A, followed by a postemergence application of 
Prowl + Bladex at labeled rates. Refer to the Prowl and Bladex 
labels for application instructions. Postemergence applications of 
Prowl and Bladex may cause corn injury.

Lay-by: Apply to com plants not more than 12 inches tall. Applications 
to com in excess of 5 inches should be directed to the base 0.1 the com 
plants; whereas, applications to com plants less than 5 inches tall may be 
made over the top. Occasionally, some com leaf bum may result, but this 
should not affect later growth or yield. Do not apply this postemergence

5. TANK MIXTURE WITH BANVEL 
Preemergence: Use this tank mixture only on field corn which is flat­
planted (no furrows) in CO, lA, IL, IN, KS, MN, NE, OH, SD, and WI. 
In addition to the weeds controlled by Dual 8E alone, Dual 8E + Banvel, 
applied preemergence, also controls lambsquarters, ragweed, 
smartweed, cocklebur', jimsonweed', momingglory', and velvetleaf'. 
'Partially controlled. 
Apply Dual 8E + Banvel preemergence. Broadcast 1.0 pt./A of Banvel 
with 2.0 pts.lA of Dual 8E on medium soils, or with 2.0-2.5 pts.lA of Dual 
8E on fine soils. Do not apply on coarse soils or on soils with less than 
2.5% organic malter. Apply this tank mixture to the soil surface at planti­
ng or after planting, but before corn emerges. Plant com at least 1.5 
inches deep and apply behind planting equipment, avoiding incorporation 
by the planter wheel or other seed covering device. Do not incorporate 
before corn emergence. If it is necessary to rotary hoe to break the soil 
crust, do not disturb the soil more than '12 inch deep. 
Postemergence for Control of Pigweed (Mid-Atlantic states, including 
DE, MD, PA, VA, and WV): Apply 1.5-2.25 pts. of Dual 8E + 0.5-1.0 pt./A 
of Banvel or 1.0-2.0 ptsJA of Banvel II by ground equipment when pig­
weed plants are less than 3 inches tall and before com exceeds 5 inches 
in height in a minimum of 20 gals. of spray per acre. Use the lower rate 
on coarse-textured and low organic matter soils. Use the higher rate on 
fine-textured and high organic matter soils. 
Precautions: (1) Avoid drift to sensitive non-target plants, such as_ 
soybeans, during application, or injury may occur. (2) Do not apply with 
aircraft.

Preplant Incorporated (NM, OK, and TX Only): Apply to the soil and 
incorporate into the top inch of soil immediately before planting, at 
planting, or after planting. but before crop or weeds emerge. Use a 
rolling cUltivator or similar implement to uniformly incorporate not more 
than 1 inch deep. Use a preplant incorporated application if furrow 
irrigation is used or when a period of dry weather after application is 
expected. Where furrow irrigation is used, wet the top of the bed for best 
results. If the crop is to be planted on beds, apply and incorporate after 
bed formation. Cotton should be planted below the zone of incorporation; 
i.e., at least 1 inch on fine soils and 1.5 inches on coarse and medium 
soils. If incorporated prior to planting, use a planter that will result in a 
minimum of soil disturbance.

-34-
Note: For best control of yellow nutsedge and suppression of seedling 
johnsongrass, apply Dual BE preplant incorporated at the maximum rate 
for the soil texture, whether applied alone or mixed with Caparol 4L. 
Preemergence: Apply to the soil surface at planting or after planting but 
before weeds or crop emerge. 
Postemergence: Apply Dual BE broadcast over-the-top or directed to the 
soil surface, according to the rate and cotton height limitations listed 
below by state. Application before weeds emerge or after clean cultiva­
tion to remove existing weeds is necessary since Dual BE will not control 
emerged weeds. Dual BE postemergence may be applied over any previ­
ous registered herbicide treatment. In sprinkler-irrigated areas, sprinkler 
irrigate after application with '12-1 inch water ('12 inch on coarse-textured 
soils to 1 inch on fine-textured soils) to incorporate Dual BE. In furrow­
irrigated areas, apply Dual BE, incorporate with a rolling cultivator or simi­
lar implement that provides uniform shallow incorporation (2 inches or 
less), and then irrigate. In non-irrigated areas, if at least '12 inch of rainfall 
does not occur within 10 days after application, CUltivate with a rolling cul­
tivator or similar implement that provides uniform shallow incorporation of 
Dual BE. 
VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, and AL: Apply Dual BE at 1.5-2.0 pts.!A when cot­
ton is 3-12 inches tall. 
TN, AR, MS, MO, and LA: Apply Dual BE at 0.75-2.0 pts.!A when cotton 
is 3-12 inches tall. 
TX, OK, NM, AZ, CA, and Clay Soils in AR: Apply Dual BE at 1.5-2.0 
pts.!A when cotton is 3-12 inches tall, but before August 1. 
Multiple Applications: Where weed pressure is heavy, difficult to control 
species are expected, or reinfestation may occur, and a weed control pro­
gram is used, multiple applications of Dual BE are effective when used as 
part of the weed control program. Apply as a preplant incorporated or 
preemergence treatment and follow with an application postemergeiice to 
cotton before weeds emerge or after clean cultivation to remove existing 
weeds, since Dual BE will not control emerged weeds. Cotton should be 
at least 3 inches tall at the postemergence timing. Apply Dual BE poste­
mergence over a previous preplant or preemergence Dual application as 
shown in the following table.

irrigated areas, if at least ,j, inch of rainfall does not occu~ within 10 days 
after application, cultivate with a rolling cultivator or similar implement that 
provides uniform shallow incorporation of Dual BE. 
Note: For best control of yellow nutsedge and suppressk:ln of seedling 
johnsongrass, apply Dual BE preplant incorporated, pree;nergence, or 
postemergence to cotton and preemergence to weeds at the maximum 
rate for the soil texture, whether applied alone or in comtinations. Do not 
apply more than a total of 3.0 pts.!A on coarse soils or 4.J pts.!A of Dual 
BE on medium and fine soils during a growing season. Tnese treatments 
may be applied over previous registered herbicide treatments. 
Precautions: To avoid crop injury, (1) Do not apply Dual BE on sand or 
loamy sand soils, or in areas where water is likely to apor:d" over the bed; 
(2) To avoid concentration in the seed furrow, do not make broadcast 
applications of Dual BE to cotton planted in furrows more than 2 inches 
deep. Band applications may be made to cotton planted in furrows deep­
er than 2 inches, but band width should not exceed the !Math of the bot­
tom of the furrow; (3) In furrow-planted cotton, to avoid concentration in 
the furrow and potential injury, do not apply Dual BE postemergence until 
after first "knifing" or cultivation to level soil sutface. (4) Do not apply 
over-the-top in fluid fertilizer or any other adjuvant, surfad.ant, oil, or other 
pesticide not recommended in the cotton section of this label, or injury 
may occur; (5) Do not apply on Taloka silt loam. (6) Do n:Jt use in Gaines 
County. TX. 
Note: Do not graze or feed forage or fodder from cotton to livestock, or 
illegal residues may result.

used as a carrier :')r Dual BE, either alone or in combination with Caparol 
4L, mix only the a'Tlount that will be sprayed in one operation. These 
mixtures should n~t be allowed to stand without agitation. Only water 
may be used as a carrier for postemergence-directed application. 
In addition to thos'! weeds controlled by Dual BE alone, Dual BE + 
Caparol 4L, applied preplant incorporated or preemergence, also controls 
the following weecs: iunglerice, wild oats, annual morningglory, ground­
cherry, hairy nightshade, lambsquarters, malva, mustard, prickly sida 
(teaweed), purslare, ragweed, and shallow-germinating seedlings of 
cocklebur and cof:geweed. As a postemergence-directed application, 
Caparol provides :::ostemergence control and residual control of weeds on 
its label, while Dual BE provides residual control of weed species on its 
label. Dual BE wi)! not control emerged weeds. 
Preplant Incorporated or Preemergence: Apply Dual 8E + Caparol 4L, 
either preplant inc~rporated or preemergence, using the appropriate rate 
from Table 5. Cot')n should be planted below the zone of incorporation; 
i.e., at least 1.0 inch on fine soils and 1.5 inches on coarse and medium 
soils. If incorpora:9d before planting, use a planter that will result in a 
minimum of soil disturbance.

Refer to the Caparol 4L label for further instructions and limitations. 
2. TANK MIXTURE WITH COTORAN OF 
Dual 8E may be applied in tank mixture with Cotoran OF preemergence 
for control of those weeds controlled by Dual BE alone and those as listed 
on the Cotoran OF label. This combination will also control spotted 
spurge, hyssop spurge, nodding spurge, and prostrate spurge. Apply to 
the soil surface at planting or after planting, but before weeds or crop 
emerge, using the appropriate rates from Table 6. The tank mixture may 
be applied postemergence to colton, but preemergence to weeds, or it 
may be applied postemergence to both cotton and broadleaf weeds for 
control of weeds on the Cotoran label. Apply as a directed, semi-direct­
ed, or over-the-top spray. Dual 8E will not control emerged weeds, but 
will provide preemergence control of species on its label. 
Mixing Instructions: Incompatibility may occur when tank-mixing Dual 
8E and Cotoran OF. To help overcome this condition, fill the spray tank 1/, 
full with water or fluid fertilizer and start agitation, add the Cotoran OF and 
allow it to become dispersed. Add X-77 at 0.5% volume/volume final 
spray (4.0 pts.l100 gals.), then add the Dual 8E and finally the rest of the 
water or fluid fertilizer. Agitate during mixing and application to maintain a 
uniform suspension. Do not use fluid fertilizer as a carrier for postemer­
gence applications.

Postemergence: This tank mixture may be applied postemergence to 
cotton, but preemergence to weeds or postemergence to both cotton and 
weeds for control of weeds on the Cotoran label. Apply as a directed. 
semi-directed, or over-the-top spray. Dual BE will not control emerged 
weeds, but will provide preemergence control of species on its label. 
Apply when cotton is in the 3 to 12-inch stage. Where rate ranges are 
given for Cotoran OF, use the higher rate when applying postemergence 
to weeds that are 2 inches or less. These treatments may be applied 
over previous registered treatments, including Dual BE, provided the max­
imum label rate of any product is not exceeded. 
Precautions: (1) Do not apply Dual BE + Cotoran on sand or loamy sand 
soils, or in areas where water is likely to "pond" over the bed, or crop 
injury may occur. (2) To avoid concentration in the seed furrow, do not 
make broadcast applications of Dual BE + Cotoran to cotton planted in 
furrows more than 2 inches deep. Band applications may be made to 
cotton planted in furrows deeper than 2 inches, but band width should not 
exceed the width of the bottom of the furrow. (3) The use of Cotoran fol­
lowing the use of a systemic insecticide at planting may result in crop 
injury. (4) Do not use on Taloka silt loam, or crop injury may occur. 
(5) Do not use in Gaines County, TX.

In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where cotton is planted directly 
into a cover crop, stale seedbed, or previous crop residues, the contact 
herbicides Gramoxone Extra or Roundup may be added to a tank mix of 
either Dual 8E or Dual 8E + Cotoran. When used as directed, the 
Gramoxone Extra portion of the tank mixture controls most emerged 
weeds and suppresses many perennial weeds. Roundup combinations 
will control emerged annual and perennial wee<:ls when applied as direct­
ed on the Roundup label. The Dual 8E and Dual 8E + Cotoran portion of 
the tank mixture provides preemergence control of the weeds listed on 
this label in the Dual 8E and Dual 8E + Cotoran sections, respectively. 
Refer to the label of each product used in combination and observe the 
planting details, information regarding application, geographical restric­
tions, and all other precautions and limitations. Refer to Mixing 
Instructions under the Tank Mixture with Cotoran OF section. 
Application: Apply before, during, or after planting. but before the cotton 
emerges, at the rates specified below. Apply Dual 8E at 1.25-1.5 pts.lA 
on sandy loams, medium-, and fine-textured soils. Refer to Table 6 for 
the Cotoran DF rates. 
Add Gramoxone Extra or Roundup at the following broadcast rates: 
Gramoxone Extra: 1.5-2.0,2.0-2.5, or 2.5-3.0 pts.lA to 1-3, 
3-6, or 6-inch tall weeds, respectively. Apply surfactartt at 
1.0 or 2.0 pts.l100 gals. of spray mixture with 75% or 
greater or 50-74% nonionic active ingredient, respectively. 
This treatment will not control weeds taller than 6 inches. 
Note: Do not apply combinations containing Gramoxone 
Extra in suspension-type liquid fertilizers, as the activity of 
paraquat will be reduced. 
Roundup: See the Roundup label for weeds controlled, 
recommended rates, and other use directions. 
Note: Do not apply Dual 8E + Cotoran 4L + Roundup in 
tank mixture because of compatibility problems.

K. POTATOES - DUAL BE ALONE 
Apply Dual BE, either incorporated, preemergence, or after hilling/lay-by, 
according to directions specified below for control of weeds listed under 
the General Information section. Within a rate range, use the lower rate 
on soils relatively coarse-textured or low in organic matter; use the higher 
rate on soils relatively fine-textured or high in organic matter. 
Effectiveness will be reduced if later cultural practices expose untreated 
soil. 
Incorporated: Apply Dual BE at 1.5-3.0 pts.lA to the soil and incorporate 
into the top 3 inches before planting, using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling 
cultivator, or similar implement. Planting and later cultural practices 
should not bring untreated soil to the surface. Postplant incorporated 
application may be made any time after planting to drag-off, but before 
potato emergence. Use an implement that evenly distributes Dual BE in 
the top 2 inches of soil. Do not damage potato seed pieces, or sprouts 
with incorporation equipment. 
Preemergence: Apply Dual BE at 1.5-3:0 pts.lA, either after planting as a 
preemergence, delayed preemergence, after drag-off or hilling treatment, 
but before weeds emerge. Up to 4.0 pts.lA of Dual BE alone may be 
used where soil organic matter is between 6% and 20%. 
After Hilling/Lay-by: Apply 2.5 pts.! A of Dual 8E after hilling/at lay-by to 
control Dual 8E-sensitive species for remainder of the growing season. 
This application will not control emerged weeds. It may be applied over a 
previous Dual 8E application, but do not apply more than 5.5 pts.lA of 
Dual 8E in a single crop season. 
Precautions: (1) Do not use on muck or peat soils. If cool, wet soil condi­
tions occur after application, Dual BE may delay maturity and/or reduce 
yield of Superior and other early maturing potato varieties. To avoid crop 
injury, (2) Do not use on sweet potatoes or yams; (3) Do not apply both 
as a preemergence and an incorporated treatment; and (4) Do not use in 
Kern County, CA. 
Note: Potatoes treated with Dual BE should not be harvested within 60 
days after the at-planting to drag-off application, or within 40 days after a 
lay-by application, or illegal residues may result.

S. APPENDICES

-74-
APPENDIX A: COMPATIBILITY TEST 
Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, always 
check compatibility with herbicide(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 equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The 
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gals.! A. For other spray 
volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compati­
bility using this procedure: 
1. Add 1.0 pI. of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt. jars with tight lids. 
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility 
agent approved for this use, such as Compex or Unite (1/4 tsp. is 
equivalent to 2.0 pts.!100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. 
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, flow abies next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each 
addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate 
amount of herbicides for this test follows: 
4. 
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 
level teaspoons to each jar. 
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 
teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar. 
Note: For Dual 8E tank mixtures with AAtrex + Princep, use 110-112 
the amount of AAtrex specified above and the remainder as Princep, 
depending on whether the 1:2 or 1: 1 ratio of AAtrex to Princep is to 
be applied. 
After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert \3ach 
jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look 
for separation, large flakes, precipitates, 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 2 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 following methods of improving compatibility: 
(A) slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (8) add '12 
of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other '12 to the 
emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the 
mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.

APPENDIX C: AERIAL APPLICATION 
Apply Dual BE in water alone or in tank mixtures with AAtrex, Lexone, 
Lorox, or Sencor in a minimum total volume of 2.0 gals.!A by aircraft. 
Dual BE may also be applied by air in combination with Balan, Prowl, or 
Trellan. Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage can­
not be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. In order to 
assure that spray will be controllable within the target area when used 
according to label directions, make applications at a maximum height of 
10ft., using low-drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and 
restrict application to periods when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. 
To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive non-target 
plants, apply Dual BE alone or Dual BE + AAtrex by aircraft at a minimum 
upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or apply Dual BE + 
Lexone, Lorox, or Sencor at a minimum upwind distance of 300 ft. from 
sensitive plants. 
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should 
avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. 
Aerial Drift Management 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the appli­
cator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors 
determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are 
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 outer most nozzles on the boom must not 
exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and 
never be pointed downwards 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 informa­
tion 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 noz­
zles 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 orienta­
tions and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from hor­
izontal 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 pattems, reducing the effective boom length to less than 
3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reduc­
ing swath width. 
Application Height 
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet 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

) 
) 
-78-
applicator must compensate for this displacement by acjusting the path of 
the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should :nc,ease, with 
increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller dr:)!JS, etc.). 
Wind 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2- ~ 0 fn::lh. However, 
many factors, including droplet size and equiprr,ent type determine drift 
potential at any given speed. Application shoulc: be avcded below 2 mph 
due to variable wind direction and high inversion potental. Note: Local 
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every appil:.ator sr·")ul·d be familiar 
with local wind patterns and how they affect spr~y draft 
Temperature and Humidity 
When making applications in low relative humid-:y. set l::l equipment to 
produce larger droplets to compensate for evap:ration. Droplet 
evaporation is most severe when conditions are joth hct and dry. 
Temperature Inversions 
Applications should not occur during a temperaLre inve-sion because 
drift potential is high. Temperature inversions re,strict vertical air mixing, 
which causes small suspended droplets to rem2.11 irn a con·centrated 
cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable dir~jons jue to the light 
variable winds common during inversions. Tem:erature inversions are 
characterized by increasing temperatures with 2.-:itu,de 2."ld are common 
on nights with limited cloud cover and light to nc wind. Ihey begin to 
form as the sun sets and often continue into the -ncmin;. 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 c ground source or 
an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers 3.J1d mC"les laterally in a 
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) ndicates an inversion, 
while smoke that moves upward and rapidly disspa:tes ndicates good 
vertical air mixing. 
Sensitive Areas 
The pesticide should only be applied when the p:>tential for drift to 
adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known 
habitat for threatened or endangered species, noo-target crops) is 
minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the s.ensi:ive areas).

APPENDIX D: CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION 
Dual BE alone or in tank mixture with other herbicides on this label, which 
are registered for center pivot application, may be applied in irrigation 
water preemergence (after planting, but before weeds or crop emerge) at 
rates recommended on this label. Dual BE also may be applied 
postemergence to the crop and preemergence to weeds in crops where 
postemergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow all restric­
tions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply this prod­
uct only through a center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply this prod­
uct through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effec­
tiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uni­
form distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, 
you should contact State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, 
or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including green­
house systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system 
unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water sys­
tems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system, 
and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsi­
ble person. shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments 
should the need arise. 
Operating Instructions 
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief 
valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation 
pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow. 
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, 
quick-closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the 
injection pump. 
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, 
normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side 
of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to. pre­
vent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irriga­
tion system is either automatically or manually shut down. 
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to 
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water 
pump motor stops. 
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure 
switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water 
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is 
adversely affected. 
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive 
displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump or piston

) 
) 
-eo-
pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are 
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system 
interlock. 
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended 
for treatment. 
8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part of water to 1 part herbi­
cide(s) and inject this mixture into the center pivot system. Injecting 
a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually provide 
more accurate calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient 
agitation to keep the herbicide in suspension. 
9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water application. 
10. Apply in 1/2-1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume (112 inch) on 
coarse-textured soils and the higher volume (1 inch) on fine-textured 
soils. More than 1 inch of water at application may reduce weed 
control by moving the herbicide below the effective zone in the soil, 
Precaution for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution pat­
terns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result. 
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may 
result.

APPENDIX E: DRY BULK GRANULAR FERTILIZERS 
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with Dual 
8E alone or selected Dual 8E tank mixtures which are registered for pre­
plant incorporated or preplant surface application which are used to con­
trol weeds in crops on the Dual 8E label and are not prohibited from use 
on dry bulk granular fertilizers. 
When applying Dual 8E or Dual 8E mixtures with dry bulk granular fertiliz­
ers, follow all directions for use and precautions on the respective product 
labels, regarding target crops, rates per acre, soil texture, application 
methods (including timing of application), and rotational crops. 
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk granular fertilizer blend­
ing, registration, labeling, and application are the responsibility of the indi­
vidual and/or company selling the herbicidelfertilizer mixture. 
Prepare the herbicide/fertilizer mixtures by using any closed drum, belt, 
ribbon, or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Nozzles used 
to spray Dual 8E and Dual 8E mixtures onto the fertilizer must be placed 
to provide u·niform spray coverage. Care should be taken to aim the 
spray directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying the walls of the 
blender. 
If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a highly absorptive materi­
al, such as Agsorb® or Celatom MP-79®, or similar granular clay or 
diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, free-flowing mixture. 
Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has been 
thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. Best application results will 
be obtained by using a granule of 6/30 particle size or of a size similar to 
that of the fertilizer material being used. Generally, less than 2% by 
weight of absorptive material will be needed. Avoid using more than 5% 
absorptive material by weight. 
Calculate amounts of Dual 8E, AAtrex, AAtrex + Princep, Bladex, _ 
Extrazine II, Princep, Sencor, Lexone, or Son alan by the following 
formula:

air ,-:Jes, or nozzle deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix Dual BE 
witr =xxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1.0-4.0 pts./gal. of Dual BE. 
Aro:-atic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum product. 
Aro- atic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct 
inje:~:on systems. Drying agents should not be used when using 
Aro-atic 200. 
Not:s: (1) Mixtures of Dual BE and Aromatis 200 must be used on dry 
fertii.zer only. Poor results or crop injury mal result if these mixtures are 
use: in water or liquid fertilizer solutions for spraying applications. 
(2).',nen impregnating Dual BE in a blender before application, a drier 
mix:_re can be attained by substituting a drying agent for Aromatic 200. 
ThE _se of Agsorb FG or drying agents of 6/30 particle size are recom­
merced. (3) Drying agents are not recc,mmended for use with the On­
The-3o impregnation equipment. 
Pre::"utions: To avoid potential for explosion. (1) 00 not impregnate Dual 
BE :,- Dual BE mixtures on ammonium nitrate. potassium nitrate, or sodi­
um - trate, either alone or in blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use 
DU2 BE or Dual BE mixtures on straight limestone, since absorption will 
not :e achieved. Fertilizer blends contalining limestone can be impregnat­
ed. 
App:ication 
App'" 200-700 Ibs. of the herbicide/fertilizer mixture per acre. For best 
resu:s. apply the mixture uniformly to the so:! with properly calibrated 
eqUl:ment immediately after blending. Unifcrm application of the 
herbcide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible crop injury. 
Non-.;niform application may also result in unsatisfactory weed control. In 
are2:5 where conventional tillage is practiced. a shallow incorporation of 
the :-ixture into the soil may improve weed control. On fine- or medium­
textc-ed soils in areas where soil incorporation is not planned, Le., 
redLJ:ed tillage situations or in some conventional till situations, make 
appi,;ations approximately 30 days befo.re planting to allow moisture to 
rno\'" the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On coarse-textured 
soils make applications approximately 14 days prior to planting. 
Prec=ution: To avoid crop injury, do not use the herbicide/fertilizer mixture 
on =ps where bedding occurs.

APPENDIX F: VARIABLE-RATE APPLICATION 
Variable-Rate Broadcast Ground Application for Corn and Soybeans: 
Variable-rate technologies may be used for more precise applicallons. 
Two additive factors have been determined for use in applications using 
variable-rate technologies. One of these factors (A) is directly related to 
soil texture and the other (8) is related to percent organic matter (OM) 
and soil texture. When these two factors are added together, the result­
ing application rate will be more precise for a soil of a given soil texture 
and organic matter content. Use the formulas below to assure a more 
precise rate for any given area within a field.
