features such as ponds, streams and springs will reduce the potential
loading of Metolachlor from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this
product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall or
irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Mixing௘/௘Loading Instructions
Care must be taken when using this product to prevent back-siphoning
into wells, spills, or improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray
mixtures, or rinsates.
Check-valves or antisiphoning devices must be used on all mixing
and௘/௘or irrigation equipment.
This product may not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of perennial
or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and
reservoirs. This product may not be mixed௘/௘loaded or used within 5
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 wash water,
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 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or
application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of

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
shipments to the mixing௘/௘loading site.
NON-TARGET ORGANISMS ADVISORY
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage
and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in
areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat
of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to
minimize spray drift.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Observe all use 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.
Me-Too-Lachlor II is a herbicide recommended as a pre-plant surface-
applied, pre-plant incorporated, or pre-emergence treatment in water
or fluid f ertilizer f or c ontrol o f m ost a nnual g rasses a nd certain
broadleaf weeds in Field corn and Popcorn.
Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. Do not
apply under conditions which favor runoff o r w ind e rosion o f 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
compacted surfaces.
3) Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of
treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least one-half inch
of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
Where directions on this label specify, this product in tank-mixture
with Atrazine formulations may be used. Follow the rates,
recommendations, and limitations on the Atrazine product label.
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 this product is incorporated,
any supplemental tillage before planting must not exceed the depth of
incorporation.
Dry weather following pre-emergence application of this product or a
tank-mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control
can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent
control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for
commercial weed control.
Use Precautions: Injury may occur following the use of this product
under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during early
development of the crop. Do not use on Peat or Muck soils. Do not
graze or feed forage from treated areas for 30 days following
application.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
This Product Alone: Mix this product with water or fluid fertilizer
and apply as a spray. Fill the spray tank one-half to three-quarters
full with water or fluid fertilizer, add the proper amount of this
product, 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 one-fourth full with water, and
start agitation; add 2,4-D, Atrazine, Banvel
®, Linuron, Marksan ®,
Prowl®, Simazine or Atrazine + Simazine, and allow it to become
dispersed; then add this product, then add Gramoxone ® Extra,
Landmaster ® BW, or Glyphosate if these products are being
used; and finally the rest of the water. For tank-mixtures with
Atrazine, Banvel, Linuron, Marksman, Prowl*, Simazine or
Atrazine + Simazine, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of
the water as carrier, except in the Atrazine post-emergence
and the Banvel post-emergence tank-mixes. For tank-mixtures
with Atrazine, see additional mixing instructions on the Atrazine
label. For each mixture, check compatibility with fluid fertilizer,
as described in Appendix A of this label, 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 Atrazine or
Simazine + Prowl under the appropriate tank-mixture section. For
directions on how to conduct a compatibility test, see Appendix A.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
For resistance management, this product is a Group 15 mode of
action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
naturally resistant to this product and other Group 15 mode of action
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with
the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers
on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers
of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training,
decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also
contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the
statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) and restricted-entry interval.
The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that
are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas
during the Restricted-Entry Interval (REI) of 12 hours.
Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated,
the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances,
allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no
contact with anything that has been treated. PPE required for
early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker
Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything
that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is:
• Coveralls
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate or viton
• Shoes plus socks
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 3 3/29/2021 1:46:41 PM
population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same
field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be
followed.
ME-TOO-LACHLOR V PAGE 2 of 9
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 4 3/29/2021 1:46:41 PM
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following
steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 15 mode of
action herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control
the same weeds in a field.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact
Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370.

Do not use a sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other
materials, or crop damage or clogging of the application device
may result.
2 ) APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Application Timing
This product alone or in some tank-mixtures with other labeled
herbicides may be applied for weed control in Field corn and
Popcorn at various times. Refer to the given crop section of
the label to determine if application timings listed below are
recommended.
A ) Pre-plant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage
systems only, this product alone and some tank-mixtures of
this product may be applied up to 45 days before planting.
Use only split applications for treatments made 30 to 45 days
before planting, with two-thirds the recommended broadcast
rate for the crop and soil texture applied initially and the
remaining one-third at planting. Treatments less than 30 days
before planting may be made either as a split or a single
application. If weeds are present at the time of treatment,
apply in a tank-mixture combination with a contact herbicide
(for example, Gramoxone Extra or Glyphosate). Observe
directions for use, 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 planting, or weed control will be diminished.
B ) Pre-plant Incorporated: Apply this product 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 Field corn and Popcorn will
be planted on beds, apply and incorporate this product after
bed formation, unless specified otherwise.
C ) Pre-emergence: Apply this product during planting (behind
the planter) or after planting, but before weeds or Field corn
and Popcorn emerge.
3 ) Special Application Procedures
A) CA Only (Field corn and Popcorn)—Pre-plant Incorporated:
Broadcast this product alone or with tank-mix partners listed
on this label to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk
or similar implement set to till 4 to 6 inches deep. For more
thorough incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions
(cross-till). Field corn and Popcorn may be planted on flat
surface or on beds. Caution should be used when forming the
beds that only soil from this products treated zone is used
(i.e., untreated soil should not be brought to soil surface).
If the application is made to preformed beds, incorporate
this product with a tillage implement set to till 2 to 4 inches
deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the tilled
(this product treated) soil on the beds.
B) Pre-emergence: Apply this product after planting. Water
with sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7 to 10 days.
C) Fall Application (Only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and
portions of NE and IL - see specific instructions for
timing of application and other information): Do not apply
to frozen ground. Use on Medium and Fine soils with greater
than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted to Field corn
or Popcorn the next Spring. Ground may be tilled before or
after application. Do not exceed a 2 to 3 inch incorporation
depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a Spring application is
made, the total rate of the Fall plus Spring applications must
not exceed the maximum total rate for the specific crop, or
illegal residues may result.
D) Ground Application: Apply this product alone or in tank-
mixtures by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons
of spray mixture per acre, unless otherwise specified.
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application.
For tank-mixtures of this product 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.

2 ) WEEDS PARTIALLY CONTROLLED*:
*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:
A) Use 2 to 2.67 pints per acre or the pre-plant surface-
applied rates for this product alone or in tank-mixture,
if allowed, when making pre-plant incorporated or pre-
emergence applications.
B) Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and
emerged weeds. If this product is to be applied pre-plant
incorporated, this tillage may be used to incorporate this
product if uniform 2 inch incorporation is achieved as
recommended under “APPLICATION PROCEDURES” .
C) Plant Field corn and Popcorn into moist soil immediately
after tillage. If this product is to be used pre-emergence,
apply at planting or immediately after planting.
D) If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application.
Apply one-half to 1 inch of water. Use lower water volume
(one-half inch) on Coarse-textured soils and higher volume
(1 inch) on Fine-textured soils . Also, refer to the section
on “ CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION” for
this method of applying this product.
E) If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within
2 days after planting and application, weed control may
be decreased. Under these conditions, a uniform, shallow
cultivation is recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
**For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints
per acre and apply pre-emergence.
***For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints
per acre and apply through a center pivot irrigation system.
3 ) ROTATIONAL CROPS
This Product Alone:
A) If crop treated with this product alone is lost, either Field corn
or Popcorn may be replanted immediately. Do not make a
second broadcast application of this product. If the original
application was banded and the second crop is planted in
the untreated row middles, a second banded treatment may
be applied.
B) Barley, Oats, Rye, or Wheat may be planted 4.5 months
following treatment; Alfalfa may be planted 4 months following
application. Tomatoes may be planted 6 months following
application.

CORN (FIELD, POP) — THIS PRODUCT ALONE
Apply this product either pre-plant surface, pre-plant incorporated or
pre-emergence using the appropriate rate specified below.
1 ) PRE-PLANT SURFACE-APPLIED
Refer to instructions for use of this product alone under
“APPLICATION PROCEDURES”.
A) Fall Application (Apply after September 30 in MN, ND,
SD, WI and north of Route 30 in IA; Apply after October
15 north of Route 91 in NE and south of Route 30 in IA;
Apply after October 31 north of Route 136 in IL):
In all locations, apply to crop stubble after harvest when the
sustained soil 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 1.67 to
2 pints per acre on Medium-textured and 2 pints per acre
on Fine-textured soils . Do not apply to frozen ground. A
tillage operation may precede the application. A Fall and ௘/௘or
a Spring tillage may follow application, but do not exceed
an incorporation depth greater than 2 to 3 inches. Minimize
furrow and ridge formation in the tillage operations. Note: If
a Spring application is made, the total rate of the Fall plus
Spring applications must not exceed the maximum total rate
for Corn, or illegal residues may result.
B) Us e on Medium and Fine-textured soils with minimum-tillage
or no-tillage systems in CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO,
MT, ND, NE, SD, TN, WI, and WY. Apply two-thirds of the
recommended rate of this product (1.67 pts. ௘/௘A on Medium
soils and 2 pts. ௘/௘Ao n Fine soils ) as a split treatment 30
to 45 days before planting and the remainder at planting.
Applications made less than 30 days prior to planting may
be as either a split or single treatment. Apply 1.33 pints per
acre on Coarse soils not more than 2 weeks prior to planting.
C) O n Medium and Fine-textured soils with minimum- or no-
tillage systems in CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, MI, NH, NY, OH,
PA, RI, VA, VT, and WV, pre-plant 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 post-emergence
application of an appropriately labeled broadleaf and ௘/௘or grass
weed herbicide may be used, i.e., Accent
®, Atrazine, Banvel,
Basagran, Beacon ®, Bicep ®, Bromoxynil (Brominal ® or Buctril ®),
Exceed®, or 2,4-D. If the post-emergence treatment includes
the herbicide used pre-plant surface-applied, do not exceed
the total labeled rate for Field corn and Popcorn on a given
soil texture. Observe all directions for use, use precautions,
and limitations on the label of the post-emergent herbicide.
2 ) PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED OR PRE-EMERGENCE
Follow instructions for use of this product alone under Application
Procedures . On Coarse soils , apply 1 to 1.33 pints per acre of
this product if organic matter content is less than 3%, or 1.33
pints per acre if organic matter content is 3% or greater. On
Medium soils , apply 1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product.
On Fine soils , apply 1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product
if organic matter content is less than 3%, or 1.67 to 2 pints per
acre if organic matter content is 3% or greater.
Lay-by: To extend the duration of weed control in Field corn
and Popcorn, a maximum rate of 2 pints per acre of this product
may be applied after Corn emergence until the Corn plants reach
40 inches in height, following any pre-plant surface-applied,
pre-plant incorporated, or pre-emergence herbicide application,
including this product. For best results, applications should be
made to soil free of emerged weeds and directed towards the
base of Corn plants in excess of 5 inches tall. The total rate
of this product applied on Field corn and Popcorn during any
one crop year should not exceed 4 pints per acre, depending
on soil texture.

illegal residues, do not graze or feed forage from treated areas for
30 days following application. Do not use on Peat or Muck soils .
Shattercane, Wild Proso Millet, Woolly Cupgrass, and Eclipta —
Partial Control: For more consistent partial control of Shattercane,
Wild proso millet, Woolly cupgrass, or Eclipta, apply 2 to 2.55
pints per acre as a single application; or apply 1 to 1.33 pints
per acre of this product pre-plant incorporated followed by 1
to 1.33 pints per acre of this product pre-emergence; however,
do not apply more than a total of 2.55 pints per acre. Make the
pre-emergence application during or after planting, but before
weeds and Corn emerge. Apply the 1.33 pints per acre rate
of this product 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.
Woolly Cupgrass and Wild Proso Millet Control Program:
For control of these species, use the following 3 step program:
1 ) Apply this product early pre-plant, pre-plant incorporated,
or pre-emergence at 1.67 pints per acre on Medium soils
and 2 pints per acre on Fine-textured soils up to the maximum
label rate. Lightly incorporate with a rotary hoe if rainfall
does not occur within 5 to 7 days.
2 ) Apply a post-emergence tank-mix of Beacon at 0.38 ounce
per acre or Exceed at 1 packet per 4 acres plus Accent SP
at 0.33 ounce per acre plus 1 quart of crop oil concentrate
plus 1 gallon per acre of 28% nitrogen, or the equivalent
amount of ammonium sulfate, when grasses are 2 to 3 inches
tall and the Field corn and Popcorn is at least 4 inches tall.
3 ) Cultivate 14 to 21 days after the post-emergence application.
Notes:
1 ) Do not apply more than the labeled application rate for a given
soil texture per year, either as a single or split treatment, or
illegal residues may result.
2 ) In Field corn and Popcorn, this product may be used up to
2.75 pints per acre as either a pre-plant surface, pre-plant
incorporated, or pre-emergence treatment on soils having
an organic matter content between 6% and 20% or up to 2
pints per acre on any soil for extended residual control and
where severe stands of problem weeds are expected.
3 ) In the event of escape of annual weeds following a pre-plant
surface, pre-plant incorporated, or pre-emergence treatment
of this product, follow with a post-emergence application of an
appropriately labeled broadleaf and ௘/௘or grass weed herbicide,
i.e., Accent, Atrazine, Banvel, Basagran, Beacon, Bicep,
Brominal, Buctril, Exceed, or 2,4-D. If the post-emergence
treatment includes the herbicide used in earlier treatment,
i.e., Atrazine, do not exceed the total labeled rate for Field
corn and Popcorn on a given soil texture.

+ Atrazine + Simazine. See Comment No. 7 following Chart 1.
This product + Atrazine or Simazine, or this product + Atrazine
+ Simazine portion of the tank-mixture provides pre-emergence
control of the weeds listed on this label in the tank-mixture section
for “TANK-MIXTURE WITH ATRAZINE OR SIMAZINE, OR
ATRAZINE + SIMAZINE — PRE-PLANT SURFACE, PRE- PLANT
INCORPORATED OR PRE-EMERGENCE”.
Application: Apply before, during, or after planting, but before
the Field corn and Popcorn emerges, at the rates specified
below. Add Gramoxone Extra, Landmaster BW, or Glyphosate
at the following broadcast rates:
Gramoxone Extra: 1.5 to 2, 2 to 2.5, or 2.5 to 3 pints per
acre to 1 to 3, 3 to 6, or 6 inch tall weeds, respectively. Apply
surfactant at 1 or 2 pints per 100 gallons of spray mixture with
75% or greater or 50 to 74% non-ionic 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 because the activity of paraquat
will be reduced.
Landmaster BW: 27 to 54 ounces per acre depending on weed
species and size. See the Landmaster BW label for weeds
controlled, recommended rates for specific weeds, and other
information concerning use.
Glyphosate: See the Glyphosate or Roundup RT label
for weeds controlled, recommended rates, and other use
precaution directions.
Apply in 20 to 60 gallons of water or fluid fertilizer per acre
with ground equipment.
On Coarse soils, apply 1 pint per acre of this product with
1.3 pounds of Atrazine 90DF* or Simazine 90DF*, or with 0.7 pound
of Atrazine 90DF** + 0.7 pound of Simazine 90DF**. On Medium
soils, apply 1.33 pints per acre of this product with 1.8 pounds of
Atrazine 90DF or Simazine 90DF, or with 0.9 pound of Atrazine
90DF + 0.9 pound of Simazine 90DF. On Fine soils***, apply 1.33 to
1.67 pints per acre of this product with 1.8 to 2.2 pounds of Atrazine
90DF or Simazine 90DF, or with 0.9 to 1.1 pounds of Atrazine 90DF
+ 0.9 to 1.1 pounds of Simazine 90DF.
*Use Simazine in preference to Atrazine when heavy infestations of
Crabgrass or Fall panicum are expected.
**When using the tank-mixture of this product + Atrazine 90DF +
Simazine 90DF, use equal rates of Atrazine and Simazine as shown
when heavy broadleaf weed infestations are expected. When heavy
infestations of Crabgrass or Fall panicum are expected, use a 1:2
ratio of Atrazine + Simazine, instead of the 1:1 ratio given. (Example:
Total Atrazine 90DF + Simazine 90DF = 1.8 lbs. ௘/௘A, use 0.6 lb.
of Atrazine + 1.2 lbs. of Simazine, respectively.) Refer to Comment
No. 2 following Chart 1 for Atrazine 4L and Simazine 4L conversions.
***For Cocklebur, Yellow nutsedge, and Velvetleaf control on Fine-textured
soils above 3% organic matter, apply 2.25 pounds per acre of Atrazine 90DF,
or equivalent rate of Atrazine 4L, or the same total amount of Atrazine +
Simazine, with 1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product.
TANK-MIXTURE WITH ATRAZINE; OR ATRAZINE + 2,4-D; OR
ATRAZINE + 2,4-D + BANVEL FOR MINIMUM-TILLAGE OR NO-
TILLAGE SYSTEMS
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where Field corn and
Popcorn is planted directly into a cover crop, stale seedbed,
established sod, or previous crop residues, this product applied in
combination with Atrazine will kill most emerged small annual
weeds. Apply this product + Atrazine before, during, or after planting,
but before Field corn and Popcorn emerges, according to the rates
in Table 1.
Where heavy crop residues exist, add 0.8 to 1.6 pints per acre
of an appropriately labeled 3.8 pounds a.i. per gallons of 2,4-D
amine (such as Weedar
® 64, Weedar 64A, DMA-4 Herbicide,
or Formula 40) to the spray tank last and apply in a minimum
of 25 gallons of carrier per acre.
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers,
applied before Corn emergence, enhance burndown of existing
weeds, and therefore, are recommended instead of water. Add
X-77 surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of diluted spray,
or another appropriate surfactant at its recommended rate, or
add crop oil concentrate plus 28% liquid nitrogen (or equivalent).
Apply before weeds exceed 3 inches in height. If Alfalfa is
present, add Banvel to the spray mixture at 0.33 to 0.5 pint
per acre and apply before Alfalfa exceeds 6 inches in height.
For fields with existing sod grasses (e.g., Bromegrass, Orchardgrass,
Rye, or Timothy), when existing weeds exceed 3 inches in
height or when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone Extra
at the rate of 2.5 pints per acre in place of or in addition to 2,4-
D, as indicated above. Do not apply Gramoxone Extra in
suspension-type liquid fertilizer. Observe all directions for use,
use precautions, and limitations on the respective product labels
when applying these products in tank-mix combination.
TANK-MIXTURE WITH MARKSMAN IN CONSERVATION TILLAGE
— FIELD CORN
In conservation tillage systems where Field corn is planted directly
into a cover crop or previous crop residue, this product
+ Marksman will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply this
product + Marksman before, during, or after planting, but before
Corn emergence on Medium and Fine soils with greater than 2.5%
organic matter. For fields with existing vegetation exceeding 3
inches in height or when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone
Extra at its standard rate. This product + Marksman may be applied
post-emergence to Field corn less than 3 inches tall and before
weedy grasses exceed the 2 leaf stage.
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied
before Corn emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds. Do
not apply Gramoxone Extra in suspension-type liquid fertilizer or use
on
emerged Corn.
Refer to the Marksman label and follow all directions, limitations, use
precautions, and information regarding application and use in Field
Corn.

APPENDICES
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 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes,
make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility
using this procedure:
1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight
lids.
2. To one of the jars, add one-quarter teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters
of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex
or Unite (one-quarter tsp. is equivalent to 2 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, flowables next, and emulsifiable
concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently
to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of herbicides for
this test follows:
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 one-half teaspoon or 2.5 mi lliliters to each jar.
Note: For this product in tank-mixtures with Atrazine + Simazine,
use one-third to one-half the amount of Atrazine specified above
and the remainder as Simazine, depending on whether the 1:2
or 1:1 ratio of Atrazine to Simazine is to be applied.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert
each 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 (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 incompatibility is
still observed, do not use the mixture.
APPENDIX B: LOW CARRIER APPLICATION
For Broadcast Ground Application Only
Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator ®, Hagie, John Deere
Hi-Cycle™, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot™, or Willmar
Air Ride ®, 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 to 40 psi at
the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep
mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of spray
mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer speed is 15
mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately
after each use.
Note: 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° are recommended. Always read and follow the
manufacturers directions for optimum setup and performance
of their nozzles or tips.
APPENDIX C: AERIAL APPLICATION
Apply this product in water alone or in tank-mixtures with Atrazine,
or Linuron in a minimum total volume of 2 gallons per acre by
aircraft. This product may also be applied by air in combination
with Prowl. Avoid application under conditions where uniform
coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may
occur. To assure that spray will not adversely affect adjacent
sensitive non-target plants, apply this product alone or this
product + Atrazine by aircraft at a minimum upwind distance of
400 feet from sensitive plants, or apply this product + Linuron
at a minimum upwind distance of 300 feet from sensitive plants.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders
should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact
with skin.
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 potential 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for
setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles
should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop
and have minimal bounce.
ME-TOO-LACHLOR V PAGE 10 of 9
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the
manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that
deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all
applications.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the
ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
necessary for pilotsafety.
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
• If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use
one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
field. When the wind speed is between 11 to 15 miles per hour,
applicators must use three-fourths swath displacement upwind at
the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise,
the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-
wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 11 3/29/2021 1:46:42 PM
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
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.
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
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.
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce
the potential for spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
APPENDIX D: CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
This product alone in tank-mixture with other herbicides on this
label, which are registered for center pivot application, may be
applied in irrigation water pre-emergence (after planting, but
before weeds or crop emerge) at rates recommended on this
label. This product also may be applied post-emergence to the
Field corn crop or Popcorn crop and pre-emergence to weeds
in Field corn or Popcorn where post-emergence applications are
allowed on this label. Follow all restrictions (height, timing, rate,
etc.) to avoid illegal residues. 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 other 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 responsible for its operation, or under the supervision
of the responsible person, shall shut down the system and make
the 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 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 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
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 herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into the center pivot
system. Injecting a larger volume of 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.
1 0 . Apply in one-half to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water
volume (one-half 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.
Use Precautions: for center pivot applications: Where sprinkler
distribution patterns 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 this product alone or selected tank-mixtures of this product
which are registered for pre-plant incorporated or pre-plant
surface application which are used to control weeds in crops
on this product label and are not prohibited from use on dry
bulk granular fertilizers.
When applying this product or this product mixtures with dry bulk
granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use and use precautions
on the respective product labels regarding Field corn and Popcorn,
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 and ௘/௘or 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 this product and this product mixtures onto
the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform 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
material, 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 six-thirtieth 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 this product, Atrazine, Atrazine + Simazine or
Simazine by the following formula:
2,000
lbs. of fertilizer per acre x
pts.௘/௘A of liquid
or flowable
product
=
pints of liquid or
flowable product per
ton of fertilizer
2,000
lbs. of fertilizer per acre x lbs.௘/௘A of dry
product = pounds of dry product
per ton of fertilizer
Pneumatic (Compressed Air) Application (This Product 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 this product with Exxon Aromatic 200
at a rate of 1 to 4 pints per gallon of this product. Aromatic 200
is a noncombustible ௘/௘nonflammable petroleum product. Aromatic
200 may be used in either a fertilizer blender or through direct
injection systems. Drying agents should not be used when
using Aromatic 200.
ME-TOO-LACHLOR V PAGE 11 of 9
554SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 12 3/29/2021 1:46:42 PM
Notes: (1) Mixtures of this product 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 fertilizer
solutions for spraying applications. (2) When impregnating this
product 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 six-thirtieth particle size
are recommended. (3) Drying agents are not recommended for
use with the On-The-Go impregnation equipment.
Use Precautions: To avoid potential for explosion, (1) Do not
impregnate this product or this product mixtures on ammonium
nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate, either alone or in
blends with other fertilizers. (2) Do not use this product or this
product mixtures on straight limestone, since absorption will
not be achieved. Fertilizer blends containing limestone can be
impregnated.
Application
Apply 200 to 700 pounds of the herbicide ௘/௘fertilizer mixture per
acre. For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil
with properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending.
Uniform application of the herbicide ௘௘/௘௘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 mixture into the
soil may improve weed control. 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 approximately 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.
Use Precaution: To avoid crop injury, do not user the
herbicide௘/௘fertilizer mixture on Field corn and Popcorn where bedding
occurs.
