HERBICIDE
Acetochlor, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 15 herbicide based on the mode of action
classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any weed population can contain plants
naturally resistant to Group 15 herbicides. Weed species resistant to Group 15 herbicides may be
effectively managed utilizing another herbicide from a different Group, or by using other cultural or
mechanical practices.

General principles of herbicide resistance management
1. Apply integrated weed management practices. Use multiple herbicide modes-of-
action with overlapping weed spectrums in rotation, sequences, or mixtures.
2. Use the full specified herbicide rate and proper application timing for the hardest
to control weed species present in the field.
3. Scout fields after herbicide application to ensure control has been achieved.
Avoid allowing weeds to reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.
4. Monitor site and clean equipment between sites.
For annual cropping situations also consider the following:
• Start with a clean field and control weeds early by using a burndown treatment or
tillage in combination with a preemergence residual herbicide as appropriate.
• Use cultural practices such as cultivation and crop rotation, where appropriate.
• Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop competitiveness
• Use new commercial seed that is as free of weed seed as possible.
Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your
Monsanto representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
SOIL TEXTURE
Applicators should evaluate soil and weed conditions carefully to assure that they choose the lowest
effective label rate.
The use rates of this product generally vary with soil texture. Unless soil texture is specifically named,
rate tables throughout this label refer to only three soil textural groups: coarse, medium and fine. The
following is a listing of the soil textures included in each of these three soil textural groups:
SOIL TEXTURAL GROUP
COARSE
MEDIUM
FINE
SOIL TEXTURE
sand, loamy sand, sandy loam

c
Ground Broadcast TreatmentDApply this product alone or with dry bulk fertilizer blended on-board a
pneumatic (air flow) applicator. Use broadcast applicators that can apply this product evenly. Do not
apply this product during periods of gusty winds or winds in excess of 15 miles per hour.
Application with Dry Bulk FertilizerDThe herbicide-fertilizer on-board blending process must be
completed only by commercial fertilizer or chemical dealerships properly equipped for this procedure.
The following is a partial list of the dry fertilizers which may be blended with this product.
Ammonium sulfate 21-0-0
Ammonium phosphate-sulfate 16-20-0
Diammonium phosphate 18-46-0
Potassium chloride 0-0-60
Potassium sulfate 0-0-52
Single super-phosphate 0-20-0
Treble super-phosphate 0-46-0
*Urea 46-0-0
*Some ureas may be phytotoxic when applied on corn. Use only ureas known to be safe to corn. Blends
suitable for use in soybeans, such as 0-26-26 are also approved for use with this product.
NOTE: DO NOT blend this product with fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate or
sodium nitrate.
Apply the herbicide-fertilizer blend uniformly with a properly calibrated pneumatic applicator. Non-uniform
application of the herbicide-fertilizer blend may result in unsatisfactory weed control or crop injury.
Band Treatment—This product may be applied with any standard granular applicator capable of
uniformly distributing a predetermined amount of granules to a desired area. Band treatments made at
seeding should only be applied behind the press wheel.
NOTES: Caution should be taken with seeding equipment so that any track (soil depression) made by the
planter press wheel is minimal. This will reduce concentration of granules in the press wheel track by
heavy rain which can result in crop injury. Soil tillage should not follow the use of band applications
unless it is adapted so as not to displace the band and hence reduce weed control in the band. In
reduced tillage systems, injury may occur if the planter slit is not properly closed during planting.
CALIBRATION AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Direct contact or exposure to this product should be minimized. The following instructions for
transfer, application, cleaning or repairing equipment should be followed in order to minimize this
exposure. Review the protective clothing requirements as listed in the "PRECAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS" section of this label and do not use this product until you have the necessary protective
clothing.
1000 Pound Containers
Open pouring from these containers can result in exposure from dust and is not recommended. This
product should be transferred from these containers to the tender unit or pneumatic (air flow) applicator
using only Monsanto authorized transfer systems. The transfer system should not be removed from the
container or disconnected until the container is emptied. Contact Monsanto Company regarding
recommended equipment.

product. An applicator that has not been properly calibrated may result in unsatisfactory weed control or
crop injury. For specific guidelines on calibrating your pneumatic applicator contact your pneumatic
applicator manufacturer.
It is important that the user calibrate each individual granular applicator before its use.
Calculate the amount of Harness 20G herbicide needed for band treatment as follows:
Band width Broadcast Band
in inches X Rate = Rate
Row width per acre per acre
in inches
For example: If 10 pounds per acre are used for broadcast treatment and you wish to treat a band of 14
inches wide in crop rows spaced 38 inches apart:
14 X 10 3.7 pounds of granules needed
38 ~ for the band treatment
NOTE: For application of this product do not rely on settings used for other granular herbicides.
It is important that the applicator be calibrated properly to deliver the desired amount of this product. To
calibrate, set the applicator and attach a bag over the spreader plate or remove the delivery tube and
attach a plastic nursing bottle over the spout. Operate at a constant speed on terrain to be planted. Four
to 5 miles per hour is suggested. For a 14-inch band, collect the granules for 500 linear feet (583 square
feet area) and measure the VOLUME or WEIGHT collected. Tap the plastic nursing bottle or other
measuring container gently to settle the granules when taking a reading.
Refer to the following table to determine the broadcast rate per acre for the amount collected. If
necessary adjust the application equipment so that each spout dispenses the proper amount.

APPLICATION TIMING AND METHODS
Fall Applications—This product may be applied following soybean harvest in the fall in the
following states: Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, south of Route 20 in
Nebraska, and north of Route 136 in Illinois.
Apply to soybean stubble after October 15, when the sustained soil temperature at 4-inch depth is less
than 50°F, but before ground freezes. Use on medium- and fine-textured soils with greater than 2.5
percent organic matter. Only corn may be planted the following spring. The ground may be tilled before
or after application. Do not exceed 2-inch incorporation depth if tilled after application. If a spring
application is made, the total rate of the fall plus spring application must not exceed the maximum labeled
rate for corn grown on that soil.
Early Preplant Surface—This product may be applied to no-till and other conservation tillage systems
before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before planting, with 60 percent of the broadcast rate applied
initially and the remaining 40 percent applied at planting. Applications made less than 30 days prior to
planting can be made either as a split or single application. If weeds are present at the time of application,
apply a contact herbicide. Observe directions for use, precautions and restrictions on the label of the
contact herbicide. During the planting operation be careful not to move untreated soil to the surface or
move treated soil out of the row, as weed control may be reduced.
Preplant Incorporation—This product may be mixed into the soil using shallow incorporation equipment
any time within 14 days prior to planting. Refer to the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" section of this label to
determine if preplant incorporation is recommended. Apply the product to the soil surface as a broadcast
application. Precipitation or irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide treatments into contact
with germinating weed seedlings. The amount of precipitation or irrigation required depends on existing
soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. If
weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe orshallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance.
Shallowly incorporate this product into the upper 1 to 2 inches of the soil. Equipment should be operated
at manufacturer's designed speed for the incorporation to ensure adequate mixing and distribution of the
herbicide treatment in the soil. Equipment design, including any drag attachments, must be adequate to
avoid soil ridging which may result in streaked or reduced weed control. Equipment should be set to work
the soil NO DEEPER THAN 4 INCHES. Soil conditions, including moisture content and crop residue
levels must be suitable to allow thorough and uniform mixing.
Preemergence Surface Application—This product may be applied to the soil surface after planting and
prior to either crop or weed emergence. Apply within 5 days of last preplant tillage. If weeds emerge after
treatment, or if treatment is applied more than 5 days after last preplant tillage, rotary hoe or shallowly
cultivate immediately to improve performance. Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required
after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone. The amount of
precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and
percent organic matter content, but 1/3 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate. Performance is improved when
moisture is received within 7 days after application and prior to weed emergence. High intensity or
excessive rainfall or excessive irrigation after application may reduce control.
CULTIVATION INFORMATION
If annual grass or broadleaf weed seedlings emerge,.rotary hoe immediately to improve weed control.
