GENERAL INFORMATION ATRAZINE 80 Herbicide will control most annual Sroadleaf and Grass weeds in Corn. Sorghum, Sugarcane and certain other crops as specified on this label. This product may be applied before or after weeds emerge. In each case where a range of rates is given, the lower rate should be used on Coarse textured soil and soils low in organic matter and the higher rate should be used on Fine textured soil and soils high in organic matter. Following many years of continuous use of this product and chemically related products, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label have been reported which cannot be effectively con trolled by this and related herbicides. Where this is known or sus pected and weeds controlled by this product are expected to be present along with resistant biotypes, we recommend the use of this product in combinations or in sequence with other registered herbicides which are not triazines. If only resistant biotypes are expected to be present, use a registered non-triazine herbicide. Consull with your State Ag ricultural Extension Service for specific recommendations Since this product acts mainly through root absorption, its effec tiveness depends on moisture to move it into the root zone. Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will generally result in better weed control This product is non-corrosive to equipment and metal surfaces, has low electrical conductivity and is non-flammable. AVOid using this product near adjacent desirable plants or in greenhouses or injury may occur. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray . overlap, as crop injury may result. . Note: The Seller does not recommend the use of this product in combination with other herbicides or oils except as specifically de scribed on the label or in literature published by the Seller. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAU TIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR WEED CONTROL, CROP iNJURY OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. 00 not apply this product through any type of irrigation system SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Avoiding spray at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
- The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed three fourths the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below. Aerial Drift Reduction AdviSOry Information Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature ·Inverslons). ContrOlling Droplet Size Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure· Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting .nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than three fourths of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc). Wind Drift potential is lowest between speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry ATRAZ1NE 80 Page 2 of 10
Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the· morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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. Sensitive Areas This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive area). 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 are 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 10 gallons of spray mixture per acre for all pre-plant incorporated, pre-plant surface. pre emergence and post-emergence applications (with or without oil surfac tant) with ground equipment. Use a pump with capacity to: 1) Maintain 35 to 40 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 dispers ing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10 gallons per minute per 100 gallon tank size circulated through a correctfy 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 Goarser screens between the pUI1lP and boom and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer's recommenda tions. For band application, calculate the amount to be applied per acre as follows· Band width in inches x broadcast rate amount needed Row width in inches per acre per acre in field Aerial Application: Use aerial application only where broadcast applications are specified. Apply in a minimum of 1 gallon of water for each pound of this product applied per acre. For post-emergence treat ments on Corn and Sorghum, apply recommended rate in a mini mum of 2 gallons of watE!r per acre. Avoid applications u.nder condi tions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where exces sive spray drift may occur. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and pro longed contact with skin. THIS PRODUCT IN WATER OR LIQUID FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS Nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water as a carrier for pre-emergence and pre-plant applications of this product on Corn and Sorghum. Check the com patibility of this product with liquid fertilizer and/or nitrogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer after Corn or Sorghum emerges, or crop injury may occur 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 compat ibility 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:
- Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids
- To one of the jars, add 0.25 teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a compat ibility agent approved for this use, such as Compexi' or Unitel> (0.25 teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pints per 100 gallons of spray) Shake or stir genlly to mix.
- To both jars add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbi cides first, flowables next and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appro priate 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 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
- After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten and invert each jar ten 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 two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be re-mixed 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 of the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbi cide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still ob served, do not use the mixture. THIS PRODUCT PLUS EMULSIFIABLE OIL OR OIL CONCENTRATE Adding emulsifiable oil (petroleum-derived, petroleum-derived oil concentrate or single or mixed crop-derived oil concentrate) to post emergence water-based sprays in Corn and Sorghum may improve weed control. However, under certain conditions, the use of either type of oil may seriously injure the crop. To minimize this possibil ity, observe the following directions Use one of the following properly emulsified:
- A suitable oil concentrate containing at least 1 % but not more than 20% suitable emulsifier or surfactant blend.
- Petroleum-derived oil containing at least 1% suitable emulsifier. Note: In the event of a compatibility problem when mixing oil with this product and water, a compatibility agent such as Compex or Unite should be used. Any of the above oils contaminated with water or other materials can cause compatibility problems andlor crop injury MIXING PROCEDURES (All Uses)
- Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materiats or crop injury or sprayer clogging may result
- Fill tank one-fourth full with clean water, nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer.
