SURPASS II 6-E/ATkAZINE tank mix dil o?ctions 7 "
SURPASS A 6-E PLUS ATRAZINE TAN' MIX COMBINATION
A tank mix combination of SURPS Ii 6-~ and ATRAZINE call be
applied and mixed into the soil before planting for weed control
in corn. This COl bination will control a broader spectrum of
weeds than will either material used alone. In addition, potential
hazard of ATRAZINE residues affecting certain succeeding crops
is reduced because a lower rate of ATRAZIE can be used when it
is combined with SRPASS A 6-E than when it is used alone.
Follow all use precautions and warnings that appear on the ATRAZINE
label, supplementary ATRAZINE literature, and elsewhere en this
label.
Make only one application per crop. After treatment with the
SURPASS A 6-E/ATRALINE combination, do not plant any crop except
corn until the following year or injury may occur.
When applied as directed, the SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE tank

excessive agitation. Che
" . " • • < .. • L • " SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE tank mix directions The herbicides must be incorporated into the soil immediately after application to prevent loss of the SURPASS A 6-E, 9, Whenever possible, application and incorporation should be done in the same operation. If there ~ust be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation of the herbicide when application and incorporation are done in separate operations, SURPASS A 6-E must be applied to a dry soil surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) that is free from dew and Incidental moisture. If the delay in incor oration is more than one hour. it is recomlnended that the hi her rates of SURPASS A 6-E 5-1/3 to 8 ints per acre e used. Never de ay comp etion of Incorporation more than four hours. Apply the herbicides to well-worked soil, dry enough to permit good soil mixing (incorporation). See Appendix 1 for soil mixing (incorporation) before planting directions. IMPORTANT; Thorough mixing of SURPASS A 6-E in the soil is necessary. The soil must be in good tilth. Improper discing or poor tilth (large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control. PLANT IrIG Do not plant seed deeper than 2 inches. For SURPASS A 6-E/ ATRAZINE application made before planting, seeding can be done immediately, or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To avoid remov ing SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE from the row (with loss of weed control in the row), do not move or shape soil after treatment, such as by planting in deep furrows. If it is necessary to work the soil following appl ication and incorporation, but befol'e planting, do not work the soil deeper than the depth the herbicides were incorporated • Do not use on milo or sorghum • Do not use on corn seed stock (Breeders, fJundation, or Increase). DOSAGE RECOMMENDATIONS All rates are expressed as pints of SURPASS A 6-E combined with pounds of ATRAZINE 80W or quarts of ATRAZINE 4L per broadcast acre. NOTE; The SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE tank mix combination is not recommended on corn gr'own in Ari zona or in the ten southern California counties • For all uses cultivation is recommended in addition to the SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAlINE treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestations of wild cane, nutgrass, quackgrass, sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, fall panicum or wild prosQ millet. IMPORTANT: Limit use on sweet corn to 5-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E per acre, except in the Pacific Northwest where up to 8 pints per acre may be applied. .'

SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) Fluid Fertilizer Tank Mix
The SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) cobination can be combined
with fluid fertilizers for applications made before planting.
However. the phySical compatibility with these fluid fertilizers
must be deternlined before combining in the spray tank. and even
though found to be copatible, constant agitation is necessary
to keep SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX evenly mixed with the fluid
fertilizer during application.
Refer to Appendix IV regarding the procedure for testing the
compatibility of SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX combination with fluid
fertilizers,
For sequential application of SURPASS A 6-E preplant incorporated
followed by BLAOEX (SOW of 4L) pre-emergence, consult the
appropriate application directions on the respective product
labels. Follow the dosage recommendations given below.
REcomENDATIONS
For all uses, cultivation is recommended in addition to the
SURPASS A 6-E/BLADEX treatment in fields with moderate to heavy
infestations of wild cane, nutgrass, quacgrass, sandbur. johnson
grass seedlings, fall panicum or wild proso millet.
BLADEX in combination with SURPASS A 6-E is not recommended
for use on coarse or medium textured soils containing less than
1% organic matter. Use the lower rate of BLAOEX on coarse to
medium textured soils containing 1% organic matter and above •
Use the higher rate of BLADEX on fine (fine textured-clay) soils
with 3% organic matter and above •
SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX can be applied either as a tank mix
combination and incorporated into the soil or apply SURPASS A
6-E preplant incorporated followed by BLADE X pre-emergence.
If BLADEX is surface-applied on top of a preplant application
of SURPASS A 6-E. a rotary hoeing or shallow cultivation
is recommended if rainfall or sprinkler irrigation has not
occurred within about 10 days after the application of BLAEX.
Broadcast Rate Per Acre (Conventional Sprays)
IMPORTANT: Limit use on sweet corn to 5-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E
per acre, except in the Pacific Northwest where up to 8 pints
per acre may be applied.

SURPASS A 6-E 1 5.
for control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds: Use 4 to
5-1/3 pints of SURPASS A 6-E and 2 to 2-1/2 pounds of BLADEX
BOW or 3 to 4 pints BLADEX 4L per acre. Use the higher rates of
SURPASS A 6-E on medium (medium fine textured-silt loaln, clay
loal etc.) to fine (fine textured-clay) soils and for control of
sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, fall panicum and witchgrass.
For partial control (suppression) of wild cane and for control of
nutsed e nut rass and wild prosQ nillet in addition to
the broad ear weeds and annua grasses listed}: Use 5-1/3
'fCl!r pi nts of SURPASS A 6-E and 2 to 2-17rpOu-llds BLADE X
BOW or 3 to 4 pllltS BLADEX 4L per acre. Use the higher
rates of SURPASS A 6-E on medium (silt loam, clay loam,
etc.) soils fine (clay) soils, and for heavy infestations.
For partial control (suppression) of quackgrass: Use B pints
SURPASS A 6-E and 2 to 2-1/2 pounds BLADEX BOW or 3 to 4 pints
BLADEX 4L per acre.
Johnsrngrass: Using a prograln of plowing and discing followed by
SURPASS A 6-£ and BLADEX will give good control of seedlings and
greatly reduce competition from plants coning from rhizomes.
In some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals
during fall and winter is recolnmended. If this cannot be done,
start with fall plowing followed by several discings in the spring
before planting. The disciny cuts rhizomes illtu small pieces and
brings them to the surface, where both the weather and SURPASS A
6-E will kill or weaken them.
NEXT, Apply and disc-incorporate SURPASS A 6-E just before
prJnting at the rate of 8 pints plus 2 to 2-1/2 pounds of
SLADEX BOW or 3 to 4 pints of SLADEX 4L per acre. Disc a
second time at right angles to the first. Cultivate at
least once, preferably twice.
PLANTING
Do not plant seed deeper than 2 inches. For a SURPASS A 6-E/
BLADEX application made before planting, seeding can be done
immediately or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To avoid
removing SURPASS A 6-E/BLADEX from the rOw (with loss
of weed control in the row), do not move or shape soil after
treatment, such as by planting in deep furrows. If it is
necessary to work the soil following application and incorporation,
but before planting, it should be shallow, i.e., no more
than 1/2 the depth the herbicide was incorporated.
CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION
Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will
generally result in better weed contro~. When cultivating for
dlly reason, it should be shallo~, i.e .. no more than l/? the
depth the herbicide was incorporated.

Horizontal action: set to cut 4 to 6 inches dee~. b. Vertical action: set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep. Tandem Discs (Recomnlended on all soil types): Set to cut to a depth of 4 to 6 inches, operated at 4 to 6 mph followed by a spiked-tooth harrow or sOlne other leveling device which extends beyond the ends of the discs. For more thorough mixing (for control or suppression of deep-g~rminatin9 grasses-wild cane, wild oats, seedl:ng johnsongrass, nutsedge and wild proso millet), disc in two different directions. When discing the second time, the disc should be reset to cut no deeper than 4 to 6 inches. Field Cultivator (Recommended on lighter soils in ood tilth: Use 3 to 4 rows of sweeps spaced at Inch or ess lnterva s and staggered 50 that no soil is left unturned, followed by a spited-tooth harrow pulled behind the cultivator. Do not use chisel plows for incorporation. Set the cultivator to cut 4 to 6 inches deep, operated at 5 mph or more. The field cultivator should not be used alone as an incorporation tool where control or surpression of deep-germinating weeds such as nutgrass, wild proso millet, johnsongrass seedlings, wild cane or wild oats is desired. For control of these weeds, use a disc alone for at least one of the passes over the fleld. " .J

For impregnating the pesticides on dry fertilizers, use a
closed rotary-drum type mixer equipped with suitable spraying
equipnent. The spray nozzles Should be positioned inside of
the mixer to provide uniform spray coverage of the tumbling
fertilizer. The SURPASS A 6-:. should be sprayed uniformly
onto the fertilizer using a fine spray pattern. For the
SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE combination product, the ATRAZINE
(BOW or 4L) can be added and Iixed in the
proper use ratio te prepare a unifor slurry for joint spray

The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particulary in
liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient,

If the absorptivity is not adequate, use of a highly absorpti
powder is required to provide a dry, free-flowirl9 mixture.
Microcel E (Johns-Hdnsville "roducts Corporation) is the
reconended absorbent powder. It should De added separately
and uniformly to the prepared pesticide-fertilizer mixture, in
a quantity that is sufficient to provide a suitably free-flowing
mixture. Generally. less tllan 21 by weight of Microcel E is
requi red.
The amount of SURPASS A 6-£ or SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE
(SOW or 41) actually required in the manufacture of individual
fertilizer mixtures should be deternined carefully for each
production operation (3). This is necessary to ensure that
the amounts at SURPASS A 6-E and ATRAZIE actually contained
in the mixture applied to the soil represent the correct
rates of use.
Bulk fertilizers impregnated with SURPASS A 6-E or SURPASS A
6-E/ATRALINE (BOW or 4L) should be pplied inmediatell.
NOT STORED. All bulk containers should be tightly covered
while the products are being transported and applied to
reduce chances of SURPASS A 6-E loss via volatilization.
Do not combine SURPASS A 6-E plus ATRZI~~ (BOW or 4L) with

Existing stands of perennial weedS cust be turned under and chopped up
thoroughly before tredtlent. Ctlltivation is suggested in addition to
SURPASS A 6-E treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infetation.
GENERAL PRECAUTIU:IS
Read all label directions before using.
Applied according to directions and nder normal growing conditions,
SURPASS A 6-E will not harm the treated crop. During the germination
and early stages of growth, extended periods of unusually cold
and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plJnt disease attck,
carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil-applied systemic
insecticides, inlproperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides may
create adnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. SURPASS A 6-E
used under these abnormal conditions could result in crop injury.
When applied according to directions and when conditions exist for
normal plant growth through the season, no harmful residues of
SURPASS A 6-E should remain beyond harvest. In the Suutheastern
U.S., when SURPASS A 6-E is used for weed control in silage
corn, do not seed small seeded grains after corn harvest until
Septemer.
Do not use on milo or sorghum. Do not use on corn seed stoc
(Breeders, Foundation, or Increase) •
SURPASS A 6-E is recommended for use on IDineral soils only (soils
containing less than 101 organic tlatter) •
Do not contaminate irrigation water (used for crops other thrln
corn) or water used for domestic purposes.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF SURPASS A 6-E
IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE THIS PROUUCT IN A MANNER
INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABEL •
SU"PASS A 6-E is a selective herbicide which is mixed (incorp-
ordted) or injected into the soil for control of weeds listed on
this label. SURPASS A 6-E controls annual weeds as their seeds
germinate by interfering with normal germindtion and seedling develop
ment. It does not control established weeds. All weed growth and
crop stUbble should be thoroughly worked into the soil before treatlnent.
Impregnt ion ,.,( d" . I I bulk fert i 1 izers
Dry bulk fertilizer may be ilnpregnated With SURPAS A 6-E (except
nitrdte fertilizers) and appl ied as the fertilizer is spredd.

cOllibinations. Even though found to be conpatible, constant
agitation is necessary to keep thp SURPASS A 6-[ evenly nlixe
with the fluid fertilizer duriny applicdtion.
APPLICATION AND SOIL '"CORPORATION DIRECTIONS
Application Directions
Pour the recolnmended amount of SURPASS A 6-E into the spray
tank during the filling operations. Apply ill 10 to 50 gallons
of water per acre using a properly calibrated, low-pressure
(20-40 psi) booln type sprayer having good agitation (use the
higher gallonage in arid areas). The soil should be well-worked
and dry enough to perlnit good soil mixing (incorporation).
Incorporation Directions
SURPASS A 6-E must be incorporated into the soil immediately
to prevellt loss of the herbicide. Whenever possible, application
and incorporation should be done in the same operation.
If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation
of the herbicide when application and incorporation are done in
separate operations, SURPASS A 6-E must be applied to d dry
soil surfdce (at least 1/2 inch deep) that is free from dew and inci
dental moisture. If the delay in incorporation is more than one
hour, it is recommended that the higher rates of SURPASS A 6-E
5-1/3 to 8 pints per acre be used. Never delay completion of
',ncorporation more than
See Appendix I for soil mixing (incorporation) before planting
directions •
IMPORTANT: Thorough mlxlng for SURPASS A 6-E in the soil is
necessary. The soil must be in good tilth. I~proper discing
or poor tilth (large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control.
SOl LIN J E C T , 0 tl
Coulters and injector shanks must be spaced 3-1/2 inches apart. The
two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-3/4 to 2 inches on
either side of it. Mount injectors in staggered positions to avoid
trash buildup. Set injectors to inject SURPASS A 6-E 3 inches
below the soil surface. The width of the band in which weed
control is desired will determine the number of injectors required
per row. (Example: Four injectors spaced 3-1/2 inches apart give
a 14 inch band). A broadcast application Cdn be made by increasing
the number of shankS. Seal injector openings by using a roller
or chain dray ueiJiliu Lire injectors. Appiy the recommended rate
of SURPASS A 6-E in 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre.

Apply SURPASS A 6-E with irrigation water before planting
(see planting). or immediately after planting before corn or
weeds emerge. It is important that application and incorporation
be done immediately after the last tillage operation since poor
results will occur if the weeds t,dve germinated before application
of the herbicide. Meter the SURPASS A 6-E into the irrigation
water during the entire period.
Apply in 1/2 to 1 inch of water or sufficient water to peetrate
the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 inches. If diluted. SURPASS A 6-E
should be mixed at a volue ratio of no more than 1 part SURPASS A
6-E to 4 parts of water. Good aqitation should be nlaintained
during the entire application period.
Use Precautions
A. Apply the product only throllgh central pivot irrigation
systelns containing anti-siphon and check valves which will

IMPORTANT: l.imit use on sweet corn to 5-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E
per acre except in the Pacific ;:orthwpst where up to 8 pints
per acre may be applied.
For control of most annual grasses and broadleaf weeds: Usc 4
to 5-1/3 pints of SURPAss A 6-E. Use the higher rate on medium
(sill loalll, clay 10all1, etc.) to fine (clay) soils and for control
of sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, fall paniculII and witchgrass •
For partial control (Sll pression) of wi Id cane and for control of
nutsed(e nut rass and wild roso millet: Use 5-1/3 to 8 pints
