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 SURP~S~ 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 ATRAZI~E can be used when it 
is combined with S~RPASS 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 
mi xture wi 11 control these weeds:

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
combination can be 
uid solut10n, slurry, or 
a spray, or e 1mpregnated 
Dry bulk fertilizer ma be impregnated with SURPASS A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE BOW or 4L except nitrate fertilizers) and applied as 
t e ert1 lZer 1S spread. See Appendix III for information and 
directions regarding impregnation and use of these combinations • 
SURPASS A 6-E/ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L) combination can be combined 
with fluid fertilizers for applications made before planting. 
However, the physical compatibility with these fluid fertilizers 
must be determined before combining in the spray tank, and 
even though found to be compatible, constant ag1tat10n is necessary 
to ke~e the SURPASS A 6-E/ATHAZINE evenly mixed with the fluid 
fertil1zer dur1ng appl1cation. Refer to Appendlx Iv regarding 
the procedure for testlng the compatibility of SURPASS A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE combination with fluid fertilizers • 
See Appendix II for Tank Mix Directions. 
APPLICATION AND SOIL InCORPORATiOn DIR[CTIDNS 
SPRAY APPLICATION AND MECHANICAL INCORPORATION 
Apply the recommended dosage in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre 
(use the higher gallonage in arid areas), USing a properly calibrated, 
low-pressure (20-40 psi) boom-type sprayer having good, but not 
excessive agitation. Che~k frequently during application to be 
sure nOllles are free from clogging and are delivt·ring a uniform 
spray pattern. Read directions on the ATRAZINE l.bel concerning 
nozzle and screen Slzes.

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 G-E/ATRAZINE tdnk mIx directions 10. 
For control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds: Use 4 to 
b-1/3 pints SURPASS A 6-E and 1-1/4 to 2* pounds of ATRAZINE 8014 
or 1 to 1-1/2* quarts ATRAZINE 4L per acre. Usc the higher rate 
of SURPASS A 6-E on loedium (silt loam, clay loam, etc.) to finc 
(clay) soils and for control of sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, 
fall panitum and witchgrass 
For artial control 
of SU~PASS A 6-E and - I to 2* pounds A RAZINE 
1-1/2 quarts ATRAZINE 4L per acre. 
Use 8 pints 
8014 0 r 1 to 
Johnsongrass: Using a program of plowing and discing followed 
by SURPASS A 6-E and ATRAZINE will give good control of 
seedlings and greatly reduce competition from plants coming from 
rhizomes. 
In Some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals 
during fall and winter is recommended. If this cannot be done, 
start \~ith fall plowing f0110wed by several discing in the spring 
before planting. The discing cuts rhizomes into small pieces 
and bring them to tile surface, where both the weather and SURPASS A 
6-£ will kill or weaken them. 
NEXT, Apply and disc-incorporate SURPASS A 6-E just before 
planting at the rate of 8 pints plus 1-1/4 to 2* pounds of ATRAZINE 
8014 or 1 to 1-1/2* quarts of ATRAZINE 4L per acre. Disc a second 
time at right angles to the first. Cultivdte at least once, 
preferably twice • 
*Use the higher rate of ATRAZINE on soils with over 51 organic 
matter • 
CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION 
Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will 
generally result in better weed control. When cultivating for any 
reason, it should be shallow, i.e., no more than 1/2 the depth the 
herbicides were incorporated. 
For all uses cultivation is recommended in addition to the SURPASS A 
6-E/ATRAZINE treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestatations 
of wild cane, nutgrass, quackgrass, sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, 
fall panicum or wild proso millet.

DIRECTIONS FO~ USE 
The SURPASS A 6-E/RLADEX (BOW or 4L) conbination can be mixed 
with water or cOlnbined with fluid (solution. slurry. or suspension) 
fertilizers and applied as a spray. 
TANK MIX DIRECTIONS: Sec Appendix II 
Application and Incorporation Directions: 
For a tank mix applicdLion. apply the recolnmended dosage (see 
RECOMMENllATIONS) in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre. (use tbe 
higher gallonage in arid areas) using a properly calibrated. low­
pressure type nozzle (flood. fan or swirl chamber) on boom-type 
sprayer having good agitation. Check frequently during application 
to be sure the nozzles are free fro~ clogging and are delivering 
a uniform spray pattern. Read directions on the BLADEX (BOW or 
4l) label concerning nozzle and screen sizes. 
The tank mix must be incorporated into the soil immediately after 
application to prevent loss of the SURPASS A 6-E. 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 a dry soi I surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) that is free from 
dew and incidental moisture. If the delay in incorporation 
is more than one hour. it is recommended that the hi her rates 
of SURP -1 to plnts er acre be use. Never 
de of incorporation more t an four hours. 
Apply the herbicides to worked soil dry enough to permit good 
mixing.

IMPORTANT: Thorough mixing of SURPASS A 6-E in the soil is 
necessary. The soi 1 ,"ust bo? in good ti ltll. Improper discing 
or poor tilth (large clods) may res~lt in unsatisfactory control. 
SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) Fluid Fertilizer Tank Mix 
The SURPASS A 6-E/BLAOEX (SOW or 4L) co~bination 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 co~patible, 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. 
REcom~ENDATIONS 
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, quac~grass, 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 BLA~EX. 
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.

APPENDIX I 
SOIL MIXING (Incorporation) BEFORE PL~~TING DIRECTIONS 
The following equipment cOI;;,nollly is used for soil mixing 
(incorporation) before planting. 
Power-Driven Cultivation Equipment (ReconGended on all soil 
types previ ous ly prllilary till ed): Ground speed ShOll 1 d ~ 
adjusted with all PTO driven cultivation tools to insure 
thorough soil mixing. 
a. 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

Tank Mix Directions 
1) Fill the spray tank at least 2/3 full of appropriate 
carrier. Be sure tank is clean and no: contanlinated 
with 2,4-0, oil residues or other ~aterials. 
2) Start agitation and continue ~oderace agitation 
throughout mixing. 
3) Premix the BLADEX or ATRAZINE making sure it is 
thoroughly wetted and dispersed in the tank prior 
to adding SURPASS A 6-E. 
4) Add the SURPASS A 6-E to the tank 2/3 full of carrier 
already mixed with BLADEX OR ATRAlINE. 
5) Complete filling the remaining portion of the tank 
with carrier; mix thoroughly, maint~in ~oderate 
agitation to provide a uniform mix during application. 
6) The tank mix combination should not be left in the spray 
tank for prolonged periods; batches should be mixed 
and appl ied th' same day. 
Do not use excessive agitation as it may cause the BLADEX or 
ATRAZINE to settle out and set up in the spray tank. All return 
lines to the tank must discharge below li~uid level.

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 I~ixed unifornly with the fertilizer 
prior to the SURPASS A 6-E addition, or alternatively, the 
SURPASS A 6-E/ATNAZI:;E (BOW or 4L) can be ~ixed 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, 
~Inlple spray impI·cYlldlion of the terti lizer with SURPASS A 6-E 
provides a satisfactory dry mixture.

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 
recon~ended 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 ATRAZI~E 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 ATR~ZI~~ (BOW or 4L) with

satisfactory, but the one without adjuvant is not, be sure 
to use the adjuvant in the spray tank. Add the adjuvant 
first at a rate of 3 pints per 100 gallons of fluid fertilizer; 
foaming can be minilnized by using moderate agitation. 
If nondispersible oil, sludge or clumps of solids form in the 
mixtures, the combination should not be used. 
NOTE 1: For Some combinations, premixing wettable powders in 
a little water in a pail before adding them to the 
spray tank wi 11 improve the cOr.lpat i bi 1 i ty of the

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 att~ck, 
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

Septem~er. 
Do not use on milo or sorghum. Do not use on corn seed stoc~

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.

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.

treat.ment 
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 pe~etrate 
the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 inches. If diluted. SURPASS A 6-E 
should be mixed at a volu~e 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 
prevent water source contamination and overflow of the slurry 
tank and containing interloc~ing controls between the metering 
device and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off • 
B. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into 
the main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate 
mixing. 
c. Application of more than label recom~ended quantities of 
irrigation water per acre may result in decr~ased product 
performance by removing the chemical from the lone of 
effectiveness. 
D. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system 
connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide 
uniform distribution or when lines containing the product 
must be dismantled and drained. 
PLANTItIG 
Plant corn seed to a maximum depth of 2 inches. Plant within 2 
weeks after preplant application. To avoid relnoving SURPASS A 
6-E from the row (with ioss of weed control in the row), do not 
move or shape soil after treatment, such as by planting in deep 
furrows.

DOSAGE RECOHMErlDATIOfiS 
All rates are expressed as pints of for~ulation per broadcast acre. 
For all uses cultivation is recoM~ended in addition to the SURPASS A 
6-E treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestations of 
wi11 cane, nutgrass, quackgrass, sandbur, johnsonyrass seedlings, 
fall panicum or wild proso millet. NOTE: SURPASS A 6-E is not 
recommended on corn grown in Arizona 01' in the ten sOl/thern 
California counties, 
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 
o SURPAS -E, usc the hig er rates on medium (silt 10al3, 
clay loam, etc.) soils, fine (clay) soils and for heavy infestations. 
For partial control (suppression) of quackqrass: Use 8 pints 
of SURPASS A 6-E. 
Johnsongrass: Using a program of plowing and discing followed 
by SURPASS A 6-E will give good control of seedlings and greatly 
reduce competition from plants Calling from rhilolnes • 
In some areas disciny 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week i~tervals 
during fall and winter can be done. If this cannot be done, start 
with fall plowing followed by several discirlgs in the spring before 
planting. The disclng cuts rhizol'les illtu small pieces and hriny' 
the'l to the surface, I-Ihere the weather will kill or "Ieaken theE:1. 
Next, dpply and disc-incorporate SU~PASS A 6-E Ju~t before 
planting ilt the rate of 8 pints per acre. DL;c d sec end time at 
right angles to the first. cultivate at least once I'rpferably 
twice.
