|
||
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Simazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may be used as drinking
|
||
water. Simazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised not to apply simazine to sand and
|
||
loamy sand soils where the water table (ground water) is close to the surface and where these soils are
|
||
very permeable; i.e., well-drained.
|
||
Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the
|
||
location of ground water.
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water
|
||
is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff and drift from treated areas may
|
||
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
|
||
equipment washwater.
|
||
Product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded
|
||
lakes and reservoirs. Product must not be applied within 66 feet of points where field surface water runoff
|
||
enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or within 200 feet of natural or impounded lakes and
|
||
reservoirs. If this product is applied to highly erodible land, the 66-foot buffer or setback from runoff entry
|
||
points must be planted to crop, or seeded with grass or other suitable crop.
|
||
Product must not be mixed or loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage
|
||
wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or
|
||
from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet of any well are prohibited,
|
||
unless conducted on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may
|
||
be positioned on or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any
|
||
product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or washwater, and rain water that may fall
|
||
on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or from the pad which means the pad
|
||
must be self-contained. The pad shall be sloped to facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of
|
||
sufficient capacity to contain at a minimum of 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
|
||
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude
|
||
|
||
Page 3 of 25
|
||
|
||
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment of 100% of the capacity of the
|
||
largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment capacities as described above
|
||
shall be maintained at all times. The above-specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to
|
||
vehicles when delivering pesticide to the mixing/loading sites.
|
||
Additional State imposed requirements regarding well-head setbacks and operational area containment
|
||
must be observed.
|
||
One of the following restrictions must be used in applying simazine to tile-outletted terraced fields containing
|
||
standpipes:
|
||
• Do not apply within 66 feet of standpipes in tile-outletted terraced fields.
|
||
• Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field and immediately incorporate it to a depth of 2
|
||
to 3 inches in the entire field.
|
||
• Apply this product to the entire tile-outletted terraced field under a no-till practice only when a high crop
|
||
residue management practice is practiced. High crop residue management is described as a crop
|
||
management practice where little or no crop residue is removed from the field during and after crop
|
||
harvest.
|
||

|
||
USE INFORMATION
|
||
IMPORTANT: Read the entire “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” and the “WARRANTY—CONDITIONS OF SALE”
|
||
before using this product.
|
||
This product is a herbicide that should be applied before weeds emerge or following removal of weed
|
||
growth. It controls a wide variety of annual Broadleaf and Grass weeds when used at selective rates in
|
||
agricultural and ornamental crops. Where a range of application rates is given, use the lower rate on
|
||
Coarser textured soil and soil lower in organic matter; use the higher rate on Finer textured soil and soil
|
||
higher in organic matter.
|
||
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may result.
|
||
This product enters weeds mainly through their roots; moisture is needed to move it into the root zone. Very
|
||
dry soil conditions and lack of rainfall following application may necessitate shallow cultivation or rotary
|
||
hoeing. This product is non-corrosive to equipment and nonflammable.
|
||
USE SITE RESTRICTION
|
||
Not for use in the States of Alaska, Hawaii or in the U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, North
|
||
Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S Virgin Islands).
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 5 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may
|
||
contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 5 mode of action herbicides.
|
||
The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the
|
||
same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 5 herbicides within a growing season sequence or
|
||
among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information
|
||
on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate
|
||
that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult
|
||
your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient
|
||
is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
|
||
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
|
||
mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer
|
||
application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive
|
||
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
|
||
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed
|
||
species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved
|
||
SIMAZINE GROUP 5 HERBICIDE
|
||
|
||
Page 5 of 25
|
||
|
||
on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3)
|
||
surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected,
|
||
prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group
|
||
or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds
|
||
to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and
|
||
planting clean seed.
|
||
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use
|
||
of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of
|
||
action, if available.
|
||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
|
||
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed
|
||
biotypes.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company
|
||
representatives at (901) 774-4370.
|
||
CHEMIGATION
|
||
Apply SIMAZINE 4F only through sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side [wheel] roll,
|
||
traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move or microsprinkler irrigation systems. 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 your State Extension Service Specialists,
|
||
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
|
||
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a
|
||
public water system unless the pest icide label-prescribed safety device s for public water systems are in
|
||
place.
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the
|
||
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should
|
||
the need arise.
|
||
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption
|
||
if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals
|
||
daily at least 60 days out of the year.
|
||
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone
|
||
backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of
|
||
pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be
|
||
discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break
|
||
(air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least
|
||
twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
|
||
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normallyclosed, 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.
|
||
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water
|
||
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
|
||
Page 6 of 25
|
||
|
||
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
|
||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of
|
||
being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
Information regarding agitation, time of pesticide application during water application and mixing
|
||
instructions is included in Sprinkler Chemigation statements.
|
||
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. The pesticide
|
||
injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
|
||
back toward the injection pump.
|
||
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.
|
||
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
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.
|
||
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
|
||
pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of
|
||
being fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
PRE-EMERGENCE OR POST-EMERGENCE: Apply this product alone or in tank mixtures with other
|
||
herbicides on this label which are registered for center pivot application with irrigation water. Apply either
|
||
after planting, before crop and weeds emerge, or after crop emergence, but before lay-by (20 to 30 inches)
|
||
and before weeds exceed 12 inches in height. Apply at rates specified on this label. Prepare mixture with
|
||
minimum of 1 part water to 1 part product. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute slurry per hour will
|
||
assure more accurate calibration of metering equipment. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep herbicide in
|
||
suspension. Meter slurry into irrigation water during entire period. Apply in 0.5 to 1 inch of water. Use the
|
||
lower water volume on Coarser textured soils, the higher volume on Finer textured soils. More than 1 inch
|
||
of water may reduce weed control by moving herbicide below the effective zone in the soil. Inject dilute
|
||
slurry into system through positive displacement pump.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS:
|
||
x Apply only through irrigation systems containing anti-siphon and check valves to prevent contamination
|
||
of well during shutdown and overflow of solution.
|
||
x Inject ahead of any right angle turn in the main line to ensure adequate mixing.
|
||
x Chemical injection pumps and water pumps must have interlocking controls to ensure simultaneous
|
||
shutoff.
|
||
x Application when drift may occur from windy conditions, when system joints and connections are leaking
|
||
or when nozzles are not providing uniform distribution may cause crop injury.
|
||
x Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result.
|
||
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide accurate
|
||
and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and the same size. Calibrate sprayer
|
||
before use and recalibrate at the start of each season and when changing carriers. Unless otherwise
|
||
specified, use a minimum of 20 gallons of spray mixture per acre.
|
||
Use a pump with capacity to: 1) maintain 15 to 45 psi at nozzles, 2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to
|
||
keep mixture in suspension, and 3) to provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Use centrifugal pumps
|
||
which provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a
|
||
minimum of 10 gallons per minute per 100 gallon tank size circulated through a correctly positioned sparger
|
||
tube or jets.
|
||
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side
|
||
of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or
|
||
coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle
|
||
manufacturer’s recommendations.
|
||
For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows:
|
||
band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed
|
||
row width in inches per acre
|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS:
|
||
x Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns are restricted to spot treatment only for the
|
||
following uses: Berry and Small fruits (Blackberries, Blueberries, Cranberries, Grapes, Loganberries,
|
||
Lowbush blueberries, Raspberries); Citrus (Grapefruit, Lemons, Oranges); Nursery Ornamentals; Pome
|
||
fruits (Apples, Pears); Stone fruits (Cherries [Sweet, Tart], Nectarines, Peaches, Plums); Tree Nuts
|
||
(Almonds, Filberts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Walnuts); Tropical and Subtropical fruits (Avocados,
|
||
Olives); Sweet corn.
|
||
x Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns to Strawberries are restricted to either spot
|
||
treatment only OR mixers/loaders/applicators are required to wear coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and
|
||
long pants, gloves, shoes, and socks.
|
||

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
|
||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
x User must maintain a 15 foot (4.6 m) in-field downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing)
|
||
from the edge of streams and rivers as well as the high-tide line for all estuarine/marine environments.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control.
|
||
While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the po tential for drift will be greater if applications are made
|
||
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
• Volume- Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest
|
||
practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a
|
||
higher flow rate.
|
||
• Pressure- Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle- Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
|
||
reduce drift.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
|
||
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an
|
||
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
|
||
generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
|
||
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

||
MIXING PROCEDURES
|
||
All Uses: 1) Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or
|
||
sprayer clogging may result. 2) Fill tank one-fourth full with clean water, nitrogen solution or complete fluid
|
||
fertilizer. 3) Start agitation. 4) Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling
|
||
or rolling action on the liquid surface. 5) If any dry herbicides are being tank-mixed, add them to the tank
|
||
and allow them to become thoroughly suspended. 6) Then pour this product directly from jug into tank. 7)
|
||
Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation if necessary to maintain surface action. 8) Add other
|
||
liquid tank mix herbicide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended. 9) Finish filling tank. Maintain
|
||
agitation to avoid separation of materials. 10) Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to
|
||
prevent buildup of emulsifiable concentrate residue from possible tank mix herbicides. 11) If an emulsifiable
|
||
concentrate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent. 12)
|
||
Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water containing a detergent.
|
||
Compatibility Test: To determine the tank mix compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer, crop oil,
|
||
spreaders, or other recommended pesticides, use this test method. Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid
|
||
fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the spray in Corn. Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even
|
||
within the same analysis, check compatibility each time before use. Be especially careful when using
|
||
complete suspension or fluid fertilizers as serious compatibility problems are more apt to occur.
|
||
Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. Check compatibility using
|
||
this procedure:
|
||
1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart glass jars with tight lids.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add one-fourth teaspoon of a compatibility agent approved for this use (one-fourth
|
||
teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pints per 100 gallons of spray). Cap and shake until mixed. Examples of
|
||
compatibility agents include Compex
|
||
®, MIX™, and Unite®.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them
|
||
separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition,
|
||
cap and shake until thoroughly mixed. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows
|
||
(assuming a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre):
|
||
Dry herbicides: For each pound per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to each jar. Fluff up wettable powder
|
||
products before measuring.
|
||
Liquid Herbicides: For each pint per acre, add one-half teaspoon to each jar.
|
||
For a spray volume other than 25 gallons per acre, change the teaspoons added to each jar as follows:
|
||
JDOORQVɯQXPEHURIWHDVSRRQVJLYHQDERYH= teaspoons to add to each jar
|
||
desired gallons of spray volume per acre
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten. Shake jars vigorously one minute. Let the mixtures
|
||
stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, grease, gels, medium to heavy
|
||
oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the
|
||
spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the
|
||
mixture can probably be sprayed as long as good agitation is used.
|
||
If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: A) Slurry the dry
|
||
herbicide(s) in water before addition, or B) Add one-half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the
|
||
other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If still
|
||
incompatible, do not use the materials mixed in the same spray tank.
|
||

|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Simazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may be used as drinking
|
||
water. Simazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised not to apply simazine to sand and
|
||
loamy sand soils where the water table (ground water) is close to the surface and where these soils are
|
||
very permeable; i.e., well-drained. Your local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the
|
||
type of soil in your area and the location of ground water.
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. To protect the environment, do not apply pesticide to enter
|
||
or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm
|
||
weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow
|
||
or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over treated area will help avoid
|
||
run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
|
||
USE INFORMATION
|
||
Restriction: For use only on Warm Season Turfgrass (e.g., Bermudagrass, Centipedegrass, St.
|
||
Augustinegrass and Zoysiagrass).
|
||
Important: Read the entire “ DIRECTIONS FOR USE ” and the “ WARRANTY—CONDITIONS OF SALE ”
|
||
before using this product.
|
||
This product is a herbicide that should be applied before weeds emerge or following removal of weed
|
||
growth. It controls a wide variety of annual Broadleaf and Grass weeds when used at selective rates in
|
||
agricultural and ornamental crops. Where a range of application rates is given, use the lower rate on
|
||
Coarser textured soil and soil lower in organic matter; use the higher rate on Finer textured soil and soil
|
||
higher in organic matter.
|
||
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may result.
|
||
This product enters weeds mainly through their roots; moisture is needed to move it into the root zone. Very
|
||
dry soil conditions and lack of rainfall following application may necessitate watering. This product is non-
|
||
corrosive to equipment and nonflammable.
