In U.:os case. it is important to resuspend all of the ml1terial in the bottom of the tank befor~ co:!! i ...... i'lg the spray application. A sparger og,1.6tor is particularly useful for this purpose. Sometimes it is more difficult to resuspend settled rnaterial than it is to suspend originally.

If a buildup of material on the walls of the spray tank is observed, wash the tank with soapy water bet ween fillings. Rinse and continue the spraying operation.

GENeRAL USE PRECAUTION; Application and Environmental Conditions: Applied according to directions and unde. normal growing conditions Commence EC will not harm the treated crop. Overapplicetion may result in crop injury or a soil residUe. Uneven application or improper soil incorporation. of Commence EC can result in erratic weed control or crop injury. Seedling disease, cold \ ... eather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high solt concentration or drought mey weaken crop seedlings and increase the possibility of damage from Commence EC. Under these conditions, delayed crop development or reduced yields may result. Applicotion to soils with pH of 6.0 or lower may result in undesirable soil residues onu greater potential for injury to rotational crops. Rotational Crop/Grazing and Feeding Restrictions: The following rotational crops may be planted nine (9) months after the application of Commence EC.

II'CORPORATIONOIRECTloN; General Directions: Use incorporation equipment that thoroughly mixes Commence EC into the top 2 to } inches of the final seedbed, or erretic weed control end/or crop injury may result. Incorporation eQuipment such 8S a disc will mix Commence EC approximately half as dp.cp 3S the equipment is set to operate. for example, a disc set to cut 4 inches deep will incorporate most of the Commence EC within the top 2 inches of soil. Incorporation: Application and immediate ir.corporalion to a depth of 2 to J inches is required unless the soil surface is dry. On dry soils, incorporation to a depth of 2 to 3 inches MUST be completed within J hours of Commence EC herbicide application. Soil must be in good tilth to allow for thorough mixing of the soil. Application to overly moist or wet soils will increase the potential for oU-site movement of Commence EC herbicide vapors and may result in poor soil incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. A second incorporation is necessary, this time running the eqlJipr:lcnt in a different direction from the first. Incorporate the Commence EC uniformly into the top 2 to J inches of the final seedbed. Commence EC may be applied up to J weeks prior to planting. Recommended Equipment Any recommended incorporation tool may be used alone or in combination with any other recommended tool . Disc: set to cut 4 to 6 inches deep and operate at 4 to 6 mph. Field Cultivator: set to cut J to 4 inches deep and operate at S mph or :nore. A field cultivator is defined as an implement with J to 4: ro ... ,s of sweeps, spaced at intervals of 7 inches or less and staggered 51) that no soil is left unturned. Chisel points should not be used. Combination Seedbed Conditioners: set to cut J to 4 inches d~ep and operate at a speed of at least S mph.

If the level of the qround cover is such that this cannot be done. till the soil prior to the application of CommenCe [C. Roughness: The soil surface should be smooth enough. to operate the sprayer and incorporation equipment efficiently ano at speeds which insure a IJnUorm application and incorporation of Commence EC.
