A. General Information
Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of
each product used in tank mixtures. Tank mixtures are per
mitted only in those states where the tank mix partner i~
registered.
Medal is a selective herbicide recommended as a p~eplant
surface-applied, preplant incorporated, or preemergence
treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for control of most
annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in :,onbearing
citrus, corn, cotton, nonbearing grapes, peanl ~s, pod
crops, potatoes, safflowers, grain or forage sorghum,
soybeans, stone fruits, and tree nuts.
Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plant
ings.
Where directions specify a Medal tank mixture with AAtrex
formulations, other brands of atrazine may be used. Follow
the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the AAtrex
or respective atrazine product label, if other brands of
atrazine are used.
~: Certain states may have Established rate limitations
for atr&zine 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 Medal is incorporated, any supplemental tillac;e before
plar.ting must not exceed the depth of in~orporation.
Dry weather following preemergence application of Medal or
a ta:.k mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivatp. if
weeds develop.
Wilere reference is made to weeds partially controlled, par
tial control can e:.ther mean erratic control frcm good to
poor, Qr consistent control at a level below that generally
considered acceptable for commercial weed control.
Precaution: Injury may occur following the use of Hedal
under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during eariy
development of the crop.

1. Soil Textures and Herbicide Rates
Where rates are based on coarse-, medium-, or fine-textured
so.~s, it is understood that soil textural classes are gen
erally categorized as follows:
Coarse
Sand
Loamy sand
Sandy loam
Medium
Loam
Silt
Silt loam
Fine
Silty clay loam
Sandy clay loam
Silty clay
Sandy clay
Clay loam

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 fir.e-textured or high in organic
matter.
Note: Medal 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 man
ner. Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with
any oU,er materials, or crop damage or clogging of the
applic~tion device may result.
j 2. Mixing Instructic~
Medal Alone: Mix Medal with water or fluid fertiljzer and
apply as a spray. Fill the spray tank 1/2-3/4 full with
water or fluid fertilizer, add t~~ proper amount of Medal,
then add the rest of the water or ~luid fertilizer. Fro
vide sufficient agitation during m:."ing and application to
maintain a uniform emulsion.

Prowl*, Pursuit, AAtrex + Princep, Scepter, Sencor,
Sonalan, Starfire, or Treflan, fluid fertilizers may re
place all or part of the water as carrier, except in the
AAtrex postemergence and the Banvel postemergence tank
mixes. For tank mixtures with AAtrex, see additional mix
ing instructions on the AAtrex label. F~r 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
Bladex, Cotoran, and with AAtrex or Princep plus Prowl
under the appropriate tank mixture section.
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 ~ay improve compatibility
in some instances. The following test assumes a spray vol
ume of 25 gals. per acre. For other spray volumes, make
appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibil
ity using this procedure:
1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars
with tight lids.
2. To ~ 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 pts.
per 100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
3. To ~th jars, add the appropriate amount of herbi
cide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them
separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next,
and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addi
tion, shake nr stir gently to thoroughly mix. The
appropriate amount of herbicides for this test fol- .
lows:
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per
acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to
each jar.

)
4.
-7-
Liqyid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per
acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 mil
liliters to each jar.
Note: For Medal tank mixtures with AAtrex + Princep,
use 1/3-1/2 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 each jar ten times to mix. Let the mix
tures stand 15 minutes and then look for separntion,
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 mix
ture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture
separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can
be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the
mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods
of improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbi
cide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add 1/2 of
the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the
other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable
herbicide before addition to the mixture. If incom
patibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
3. Application Procedyres
Application Timing
Medal 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-Apv~: For minimum-tillage or
no-tillage systems only, Medal alone and some Medal
tank mixtures may be applied up to 45 dAYs before
planting certain crops. Use only split applications
for treatments made 30-45 day~ before planting, with
2/3 the recommended broadcast rate for the crop and
soil te>:ture 1pplied initiall.y and the remaining 1/3'
at planting. Treatments less than 30 days before:
planting ~ay be made either as a split or a single'
application. Refe= to individual crop to determine if
early preplnnt surface application is recommended.:' 'J:£'
weeds are present at the time of treatment, apply in a,
tank mixture combination with a contact herbicide tfo~:
example, Gramoxone Extra or Roundup). Observe direc-'
tions for use, precautions, and restrictions on th~ , '.
label of the contact herbicide. To the extent possi-'
ble, do not move treated soil out of the row or move: - ,
untreated soil to the surface during planting, or weed
control will be diminished.

(2) Preplant Incorporated: Apply Medal 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 a period of dry weather after application
is expected. If crop will be planted on beds, apply
and incorporate Medal after bed formation unless
specified otherwise.
(3) Preemergence: Apply Medal during planting (behind the
planter) or after planting, but before weeds or crops
emerge.
Special Application Procedures
(1) California Only (Corn. Safflower. Pod CrQps) :
Preplant Incorporated: Broadcast Medal to the
soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or
similar implement set to till 4-6 inches deep.
For more thorough incorporation, till the soil in
tW0 different directions (cross-till). Crops may
be planted on flat surface or on beds. Caution
should be used when forming the beds that only
soil from the Medal treated zone is used (i.e.,
untreated soil should not be brought to soil sur
face). If the application is made to preformed
beds, incorporate Medal with a tillage implement
set to till 2~4 inches deep. Care should be
taken during tilling to keep the tilled (Medal
treated) soil on the beds. Preemergence: Apply
Medal after planting. water with sprinkler or
flood irrigation within 7-10 days.
(2) Fall Application (only in WI. MN. NO. SO. and
North of Route 20 in the states of IL. IA. and
NEt. Following crop harvest, apply to corn or
soybean stubble after October 15, but before
ground freezes. Use on medium and fine soils
with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will
be planted to corn or soybeans the next spring.
Ground may be tilled before or after applicatiou.
Do not exceed a 2- to 3-inch incorporation dep~~'
if tilled after treatment. Note~ If making a
fall application, do not make a subsequent appli-
cation of Medal in the spring. .

Low Carrier Application (For Broadcast Ground Application
Only)
Use spra¥ers such as Ag-Chem RoGato~, Hag~ John Deere
Hi-Cycle, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot , or Willmar
Air Ridee that provide accurate and uniform application.
Only water may be used as a carrier. Screens in suction
and in-line strainers should be 50-mesh. Manufacturers may
require that tip screens as fine as 100-mesh be used with
some nozzles. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain up
to 35-40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient
agitation in tank to keep mixture in s~spension. Use a
minimum of 5 gals. of spray mixture per acre. Maximum re~
ommended sprayer speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly
with clean ~aLc~ immediately after each use.
~: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift
and increase application accuracy. Care should be taken
when using automatic rate controlling devices to spray the
material within the rated working pressure and flow ranges
of the nozzles selected. Nozzle screens should be used
when recommended by the manufacturer. All nozzles should
be placed on 20-inch centers, except flooding types which
should be placed on 40-inch centers. When Flat Fan type
nozzles are used, angles of 80° or 110 0 are recommended.
Always read and follow the manufacturer's directions for
optimum setup and performance of their nozzles or tips.
Aerial A9plication: Apply Medal in water alone or in tank
mixtures with AAtrex, Lorox, Lexone, or Sencor in a minimum
total volume of 2 gals. per acre by aircraft. Medal may
also be applied in combination with Prowl, Balan, or
Treflan. Avoid application under conditions where uniform
coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift
may occur. In order to assure that spray will be control
lable within the target area when used according to label
directions, make applicatitr.s at a maximum height of
10 ft., 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 nontarget plants, apply
Medal alone or Medal + AAtrex by aircraft at a minimum
upwind distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants, or app).1
Medal + Lexone, Sencor, or Lorox at a minimum upwind dis-'
tance of 300 ft. from sensitive plants.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and lo~d-.
ers should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged;
contact with skin, and should wash thcroughly before eating,
and at the end of each day's operation.

Center Pivot Irrigation ~plication: Medal 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.
Apply this product only through a center pivot irrigation
system. Do not apply this product through any other type
of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness,
or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from
non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
questions about calibration, you should contact State
Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, or ot~er
experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including
greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a
public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed
safety devices for public water systems are in place. A
person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and respon
sible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Qperating Instructions
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve,
vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropri
ately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent
water-source contamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a func
tional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to pre
vent 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 prevent fluid
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually
shut down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking con
trols to automatically shut off the pesticide inje~-~
tion pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a fur.c
tional pressure switch which will stop the water p~p
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point
where pesticide distribution is adversely affecteq: , :
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive'
displacement injection pump (e. g., diaphragm pump :or' , ,
piston pump) effectively designed and constructed of
materials that are compatible with pesticides and
capable of being fitted with a system intel'lock.
'3EST AVA:LAILECOP'

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 herbicide(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 suspen
sion.
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 (1/2 inch) on coarser-textured soils and the
higher volume (1 inch) on finer-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 patterns do not overlap sufficiently. unac
ceptable weed control may result. Where sprinkler distri
but ion patterns overlap excesRiyely. crop injury may
&esult.
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizers
Many dry bulk granular fertili4~rs may be impregnated or
coated with Medal alone or selected Medal tank mixtures
which are registered for preplant incorporated or preplant
surface application which are used to control weeds in
crops on the Medal label and are not prohibited from use on
dry bulk granular fertilizers.
When applying Medal or Medal mixtures w;.th dry bulk granu
lar fertilizers, follow all directions for use and precau
tjons 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 blending, registration, labeling, and
application are the responsibility of the individual ar •. ti/ol.·
company selling the herbicide/fertilizer 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 Medal and Mea~i·:
mixtures onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uni
form spray coverage. Care should bE< taken to aim the sp:o:a~'.
directly onto the fertilizer only and to avoid spraying tne
walls of the blender.
BEST AVAJLAILE COPl

If the herbicide/fertilizer mixture is too wet, add a
highly absorptive material, such as Agsorbe or Celatom
MP-79®, or similar granular clay or diatomaceous earth
materials, to obtain a dry free-flowing mixture. Absorp
tive materials should be added only after the herbicide has
been thoroughly blended int.~ +-.he fertilizer mixture. Best
application results will be c~~ained by using a granule of
6/30 particle size or of a size similar to that of the fer
tilizer 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 Medal, AAtrex, AAtrex + Princep,
Bladex, Princep, Sencor, Lexone, or Sonalan by the follow
ing formula:

Pneumatic (Compressed Air) APplication (Medal Alone): High
humidity, high urea concentrations, low fertilizer use
rates, and dusty fertilizer may cause fertilizer mixture to
build up or plug the distributor head. air tubes, or nozzle
deflector plates. To minimize buildup, premix Medal with
Exxon Aromatic 200 at a rate of 1-4 pts./gal. of Medal.
Aromatic 200 is a noncombustible/nonflammable petroleum
product. Aromatic 200 may be used in either a fertilizer
blender or through direct inject~on systems. Drying agents
should not be used when using Aromatic 200.
Notes: (1) Mixtures of Medal and Aromatic 200 must be used
on dry fertilizer only. Poor results or crop injury may.
result if these mixtures are used in water or liquid fer-'
tilizer solutions for spraying applications. (2) When
impregnating Medal in a blender before application, a drier
mixture can be attained by substituting a drying agent for,
Aromatic 200. The use of Agsorb FG or drying agents of;"
6/30 particle size are recommended. (3) Drying agents are ,
not recommended for use with On-The-Go impregnation equip~,;
ment.

Precautions: To avoid potential for explosion. II) Do not
impregnate Medal or Medal mixtures on ammonium nitrate.
potassium nitrate. or sodium nitrate. either alone or in
blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use Medal or
Medal mixtures on straight limestone. since absorption will
not be achieved .. Fertilizer blends containing limestone
can be impregnated.
APplication
Apply 200-700 pounds of the herhicide/fertilizer mixture
per acre. For best results, appl~ the mixture uniformly to
the soil with properly calibrated equipment immediately
after blending. Uniform application of the herbi
cide/fertilizer mixture is essential to prevent possible
crop injury. Non-uniform application may also result in
unsatisfactory weed control. In areas where conventional
tillage is practiced, a shallow incorporation of the mix
ture into the soil may improve weed contI:ol. On fine- or
medium-textured soils in areas where soil incorporation is
not planned, i.e., reduced tillage situations or in some
conventional till situations, make applications approxi
mately 30 days before planting to allow moisture to move
the herbicide/fertilizer mixture into the soil. On
coarse-textured soils, make applications approximately 14
days prior to planting.
Precaution: To avoid crop injury. do not use the herbi
cide/fertilizer mixture on crops where bedding occurs.
