Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray drift . Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may be used as drinking water . Atrazine has been found in ground water . Users are advised not to apply atrazine 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 . Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material . This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates . Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark . Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas . Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas . Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters . GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use . This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow . SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater . This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water . This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after application . A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of acetochlor from runoff water and sediment . Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours .

3 SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Mandatory Spray Drift Management Ground Boom Applications • Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy . • For all applications, applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser spray droplet size (ASABE S572) . • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site . • Do not apply during temperature inversions . • User must maintain a 15 foot (4 .6 meter) in-field downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of streams and rivers, as well as high-tide line for all estuarine/marine environments . Boom-less Ground Applications: • Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572) for all applications . • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site . • Do not apply during temperature inversions . • User must maintain a 15 foot (4 .6 meter) in-field downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of streams and rivers, as well as 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 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 . • BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom Use the lo west boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage . For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce . • SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can r educe 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 dr y 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 gener ally 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 . • Boom-less Ground Applications: Setting nozzles at the lo west effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift . DO NOT aerially apply this product unless otherwise directed by approved supplemental labeling in possession of the user at the time of application . 5.1 Use Restrictions Use on Miscanthus and other perennial bioenergy crops is prohibited . Not for Sale, Sale Into, Distribution and/or Use in Nassau and Suffolk Counties of New York State . Not for use in the states of Hawaii or Alaska, or in the U . S . territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U . S . Virgin Islands, and the North Mariana Islands) .

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 . 6.0 WEED RESIST ANCE MANAGEMENT GROUP GROUP 5 15 HERBICIDE HERBICIDE ATRAZINE ACETOCHLOR For resistance management, please note that DEGREE XTRA HERBICIDE contains both a Group 5 Atrazine and a Group 15 Acetochlor herbicide . Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 5 and/ or Group 15 herbicides . The resistant individuals may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same fields . Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed . To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of DEGREE XTRA HERBICIDE or other Group 5 or Group 15 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 including 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 Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937) . You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance . 7.0 SOIL TEXTURE Applicators should evaluate soil conditions carefully to assure that they choose the correct label rate . The recommended use rates of this product and the other herbicides labeled for use in tank mixtures with this product 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 complete listing of soil textures included in each of these three soil textural groups: SOIL TEXTURAL GROUP SOIL TEXTURE COARSE sand, loamy sand, sandy loam MEDIUM loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay loam FINE silty clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, clay Refer to the above table to determine the corresponding soil textural group for the soil to be treated . 8.0 MIXING, SPRAYING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Direct contact or exposure to this product or spray mixtures of this product should be minimized .

See the “STANDARD SPRAYABLE FLUID FERTILIZER COMPATIBILITY TEST” section in this label to determine the compatibility of this product and the labeled tank mixtures recommended for use with sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier . Mix this product or labeled tank mixtures of this product with the appropriate carrier as follows: 1 . Place a 20- to 35-mesh scr een or wetting basket over filling port . 2 . Through the scr een, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with appropriate carrier . 3 . If a compatibility agent is necessar y to improve mixing or to prevent the formation of undesirable and unsprayable gels or precipitates, while agitating add it to the carrier already in the tank . Use only compatibility agents cleared by FDA for this use . Read and follow all directions for use, cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the selected compatibility agent label . Check for adequate agitation . 4 . If a wettable po wder or dry flowable formulation is used, make a slurry with water, and add it slowly through the screen into the tank . Continue agitation . 5 . If a flo wable formulation is used, add slowly through screen into the tank . Mixing and compatibility may be improved when flowable is premixed one part flowable with one part water and added slowly to the tank in diluted form . 6 . Add this product slo wly through the screen into the tank . Mixing and compatibility may be improved when this product is prediluted with two parts of water and added to the tank in diluted form . 7 . Complete filling the spr ayer tank with carrier . If a Roundup ® agricultural herbicide or Gramoxone TM brand herbicide is used, add the required amount near the end of the filling process . Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the water source . Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed . NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at any time, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed . Keep bypass line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming . Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no finer than 50-mesh . Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist . Check for even distribution of spray droplets . For best results with ground application, use flat-fan or whirl-chamber nozzle . To reduce loss of chemical due to drift of a fine mist, apply at pressures less than 40 psi . 8.3 Standard Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer Compatibility T est Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value . This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers . A simple test using small quantities of the components is suggested to provide compatibility potential . The test follows: A. Materials Required For A Compatibility Test 1 . T wo one-quart jars with lid or stopper (marked “with” and “without”) . 2 . TEAspoons (for a mor e exacting test, a five to ten milliliter (mL) pipette or graduated cylinder is desirable) . 3 . Spr ayable fluid fertilizer to be tested . 4 . The herbicide c hemicals to be mixed . 5 . A compatibility agent (the purpose of the adjuv ant is to help keep the fertilizer and crop protection chemical in suspension, if this assistance is needed) . 7.125” 6.875” 6.495” COPY AREA COPY AREA 6.625”
5 B. Procedure 1 . Add one pint of the spr ayable fluid fertilizer that will be used or other herbicide carrier to each jar marked “with” and “without” . Add One Pint Liquid Fertilizer To Two Quart Jars 2 . T o the jar marked “with”, add 1/4 TEAspoon or 1 . 2 milliliters of a suitable compatibility agent; shake gently for five to ten seconds to mix . (1/4 TEAspoon in one pint is the equivalent of two pints per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer . ) To Jar Marked “WITH” Add Compatibility Agent And Shake To Mix 3 . T o each jar add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s) . If more than one is used, add them separately with the wettable powders or dry flowables added first, flowables second and liquid last . Shake gently five to ten seconds after each addition . Add Herbicide(s) To Both Jars and Shake to Mix Amount to be Added per Pint of Sprayable Fluid Fertilizer (Assuming Volume is 25 Gallons/Acre) HERBICIDE RATE/ACRE Level TEAspoons Wettable 1 pound = 1 .5 Powders 2 pounds = 3 .0 or 3 pounds = 4 .5 Dry Flowables 4 pounds = 6 .0 5 pounds = 7 .5 HERBICIDE RATE/ACRE Level TEAspoons Milliliters Emulsifiable 1 pint = 0 .5 or 2 .4 Concentrates or 1 quart = 1 .0 or 4 .7 Flowables or 2 quarts = 2 .0 or 9 .5 Liquids or 3 quarts = 3 .0 or 14 .2 Solutions 1 gallon = 4 .0 or 19 .0 5 quarts = 5 .0 or 23 .8 This compatibility test is designed for 25 gallons of spray per acre with the maximum labeled rate of herbicide . For changes in spray volume or herbicide rate, make appropriate changes in the ingredients of the test . Regardless of spray volume, the amount of compatibility agent should be equal to two or three pints (two pints = 1/4 TEAspoon or 1 .2 milliliters, three pints = 3/8 TEAspoon or 1 .8 milliliters per pint of sprayable fluid fertilizer) per 100 gallons of liquid fertilizer . C. Obser vations and Decisions 1 . If the herbicide(s) and the spr ayable fluid fertilizer are compatible . 2 . If a compatibility agent is necessar y . Five minutes after the final addition and mixing, observe both jars for the formation of large flakes, sludge, gels or other precipitates . Observe if the herbicide(s) cannot be physically mixed with the liquid fertilizer but remains as small oily particles in the solution . If incompatibility in any form described above occurs in the jar “with” the compatibility agent added, the liquid fertilizer and the herbicide(s) should not be used together in the same spray tank . If incompatibility as described above occurs in the jar “without” the adjuvant but not in the jar “with” adjuvant, the use of a compatibility adjuvant is recommended . Both jars should be allowed to stand and be observed periodically for one-half hour . If the separate layers of liquid fertilizer and additives can be resuspended by shaking, commercial application is possible . An emulsifiable concentrate normally will go to the top after standing; wettable powders will either settle to the bottom of the tank or jar, or float to the top, depending upon the density of the fertilizers . If the herbicide(s) is compatible with fluid fertilizer in the foregoing test without having to use a compatibility agent, fluid fertilizer may be used for the premixing . If it is not compatible without the compatibility agent, the herbicide(s) should be premixed with water before adding to the spray tank . 9.0 APPLIC ATION SYSTEMS 9.1 Ground Broadcast Treatment Apply this product and the labeled tank mixtures in 10 or more gallons of solution per acre using broadcast boom equipment . The carrier may be either water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as specified for the crop to be treated in the “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” section of this label . 9.2 Ground Band Treatment Apply a broadcast equivalent rate and volume per acre . To determine these: Band width in inches X Broadcast RATE per acre = Band RATE per acreRow width in inches Band width in inches X Broadcast VOLUME per acre = Band VOLUME per acreRow width in inches 10.0 APPLIC ATION TIMING AND METHODS 10.1 Early Preplant Surface Application This product and some labeled tank mixtures of this product may be applied in no-till and other conservation tillage systems before weeds emerge and up to 45 days before planting field corn or silage corn . Split applications can be made 30 to 45 days prior to planting with 60 percent of the recommended 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 as a single application . If weeds are present at the time of application, apply this product in tank mixture with an appropriate 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 . 10.2 Preplant Incorporation Application This product and many of the labeled tank mixtures may be mixed into the upper 1-inch of soil using shallow incorporation equipment any time within 14 days prior to planting . Apply the recommended treatment rate to the soil surface as a broadcast application . Either existing soil moisture or subsequent precipitation or irrigation is required to bring incorporated herbicide treatments into contact with germinating weed seedlings . Irrigation within 10 days following application may improve weed control . If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate immediately to improve performance but only cultivate if rainfall or irrigation does not occur within 10 to 14 days after application . 10.3 Preemergence Surface Application This product and all labeled tank mixtures 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 mixture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/2 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 . 10.4 Postemergence Surface Application This product and certain tank mixtures may be applied postemergence until corn reaches 11 inches in height or grain sorghum reaches 11 inches (5 to 6 leaf stage) in height . Application must be made prior to weed seedling emergence or in a tank mixture that controls emerged weeds . Read and follow all restrictions and directions on tank mix product labels . Refer to the specific treatment intended in the “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” section of the label to determine if postemergence applications to corn or grain sorghum are recommended and determine the proper weed and crop growth stage limitations . Precipitation or overhead sprinkler irrigation is required after application to move the herbicide treatment into the weed germination zone to control weeds that have not emerged . The amount of precipitation or irrigation required depends on existing soil moisture, soil type and percent organic matter content, but 1/2 to 3/4 inch is normally adequate . If weeds emerge after treatment, rotary hoe or shallowly cultivate to improve performance . Do not apply postemergence to sweet corn . NOTE: Postemergence application of this product in liquid fertilizer carriers can result in crop injury . Some leaf burn may occur on corn . DO NOT apply if air temperatures are expected to reach 85 degrees F within 24 hours after application . Surfactants, crop oil or other additives are not recommended unless specified in the tank mix instructions . If applying postemergence in liquid fertilizer carriers, APPLY TO FIELD CORN ONLY . 10.5 Cultivation Information Delay cultivation after application for as long as possible unless weeds or grasses emerge . Shallowly cultivate or rotary hoe immediately if weeds or grasses emerge . If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting or compaction, set equipment shallow and minimize lateral soil movement to avoid dilution or displacement of the herbicide treatment . If a band application is used and weeds have emerged in the treated band, set cultivator to throw soil into the row covering the band . 11.0 WEEDS CONTROLLED When applied as directed under conditions described, this product alone will CONTROL the following weeds: 7.125” 6.875” 6.495” COPY AREA COPY AREA 6.625”

7 12.2.1 Roundup Agricultural Herbicides Annual Weeds Apply a Roundup agricultural herbicide in these tank mixtures at the proper rate for the weed per the label instructions . Perennial Weeds At normal application rates in minimum tillage systems, perennial weeds may not be at the proper stage of growth for control . Use of full labeled rates of Roundup agricultural herbicides, in the mixtures above and under these conditions will provide top kill and reduce competition from emerged perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds . USE OF THIS MIXTURE FOR BERMUDAGRASS OR JOHNSONGRASS CONTROL IS NOT RECOMMENDED . NOTE: When using these tank mixtures, do not exceed labeled maximum rates . Ammonium Sulfate The addition of ammonium sulfate in the spray solution may increase the performance of Roundup agricultural herbicide tank mixtures on emerged annual weeds under adverse growing conditions . When using ammonium sulfate, add 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water . Ammonium sulfate should be added to the water in the spray tank and completely dissolved prior to adding the herbicide or surfactant . Do not mix ammonium sulfate in fluid fertilizer solutions . The equivalent rate of ammonium sulfate in a liquid formulation may also be used . If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with agitation . Adding too quickly may clog outlet lines . Nozzle tip plugging may result from the use of low quality ammonium sulfate . To determine quality, perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water and agitate for one minute . If undissolved sediment is observed, predissolve the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior to adding to the spray tank . Surfactants Nonionic surfactants that are labeled for use with herbicides may be used with some Roundup agricultural herbicides, check specific label for restrictions . Do not reduce rates of Roundup agricultural herbicides when adding surfactant . Use 0 .5 percent surfactant concentration (2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) when using surfactants that contain at least 50 percent active ingredient or a 1 percent surfactant concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution) for those surfactants containing less than 50 percent active ingredient . Read and carefully observe surfactant cautionary statements and other information appearing on the surfactant label . 12.2.2 Gramoxone Brand Herbicides When used as directed, Gramoxone brand herbicides in a labeled tank mixture control many emerged annual weeds and suppresses many emerged perennial weeds . Broadcast Treatment Apply Gramoxone brand herbicides in these tank mixtures immediately before, during or after planting but BEFORE CROP EMERGENCE . As density of stubble, crop residue or weeds increase, spray gallonage should be increased within the application rate range for complete coverage .

Environmental Hazards NON-TARGET ORGANISM ADVISORY STATEMENT: 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 . Atrazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may be used as drinking water . Atrazine has been found in ground water . Users are advised not to apply atrazine 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 . Ground water contamination may be reduced by diking and flooring of permanent liquid bulk storage sites with an impermeable material . This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates . Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark . Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas . Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas . Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters . GROUNDWATER ADVISORY: Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use . This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow . SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater . This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water . This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after application . A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of acetochlor from runoff water and sediment . Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours .
