PRODUCT INFORMATION
Mixing: It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended us e.
Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Whe n
using this product, make sure the sprayer is completely clean, fr ee of rust or corrosion which occurs from winter storage. Exam ine
strainers and screens to be sure the sprayer is clean from previously used pesticides.
Keep any tank mix containing this product agitated and sprayed out immediately. Do not allow tank mixes to stand for prolonged
periods of time.
The proper mixing procedure for Metribuzin 75 alone or in tank mix combinations with other herbicides is:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water.
2. Add specified rate of this product while recirculating and with agitator running.
3. Follow the triple rinse procedure described under “Storage And Disposal” to insure that all product is removed from the contain er.
4. Mix thoroughly and add clean water to fill spray tank to desired level.
5. Add the other herbicide to tank last and agitate thoroughly.
6. Continue agitation during application and until sprayer tank is empty.
Soil Texture: As used on this label, “coarse soils” are loamy sand or sandy loam soils. “Medium soils” are loam, silt loam, sil t, sandy
clay, or sandy clay loam. “Fine soils” are silty clay, silty clay loam, clay, or clay loam. Silty clay loam soils are transitio nal soils and
may be classified as medium textured soils in some regions of the U.S.
PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS
x Do not rotate any crop not listed on this label for 18 months following application.
x Do not allow sprays to drift on to adjacent desirable plants.
x Do not use on other crops grown for food or forage.
x For all uses: Low-pressure, high-volume hand-wand equipment is prohibited.
CHEMIGATION
This product may be used for application through sprinkler irrigation equipment to potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes, and asparagus as
directed on this label. Refer to the crop sections of this l abel for rates, weeds controlled or suppressed, restrictions and sp ecial
precautions.
Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, or solid set) irrigation systems. 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 nonuniform distribution of treated water.
Calibration: (Center Pivot and Self-Propelled Lateral Move Systems): Sprinkler irrigation systems must be accurately calibrated
for application of this product. Greater accuracy in calibration (and distribution) will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more
dilute mixture of product and water per hour. Follow the step s below to calibrate center pivot and lateral move systems:
1. Determine number of minutes required to make 1 complete re volution while applying 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water per acre.
4
[METRIBUZIN 75
EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
2. With the system at operating pressure determine the exact nu mber of minutes required to inject 1.0 gallon of water.
3. Divide the time required for 1 revolution (step 1) by the time required to inject 1.0 gallon (step 2). This gives total gallons
of product-water mixture to be added to nurse tank.
4. Add required amount of water to nurse tank and start the agit ation system. Then add this product at the appropriate rate
(see Broadcast Applications) to the nurse tank.
Example: If 20 hours (1200 minutes) were required for 1 revolution and if 2 minutes were required to inject 1.0 gallon, then a total
of 600 gallons of product-water mixture are required (1200/2=600) ; to treat 135 acres at 0.6 pound per acre, 90.5 pounds of thi s
product are required.
If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unle ss
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 the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
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.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid b ack
toward the injection pump.
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.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to au tomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump
motor stops.
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.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed
and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Maintain continuous agitation in the injection nurse tanks during the herbicide application, sufficient to keep herbicide in su spension.
Apply specified dosage in 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water (1/4 to 1/2 inch of water on sandy soils) per acre as a continuous injection in center
pivot and lateral move systems or in the last 15 to 30 minutes of set in permanent solid set sprinkler systems. Application of more
than the quantity of irrigation water listed on this label may result in decreased product performance by removing the chemical from
the zone of effectiveness. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently unacceptable weed control may resu lt.
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop injury may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed
through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure that lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide,
an indicator dye may be injected into the lines to mark the end of the application period.
Use a minimum of 1 part water to 1 part herbicide for injection. The use of a larger volume of water will insure greater accura cy and
more uniform distribution.
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and we ather-
related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factor s 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
5
[METRIBUZIN 75
EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
formulations.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
3. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
4. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the 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, Temper ature
and Humidity and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
larger droplets.
x Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s specified 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.
x Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
x 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.
x 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. Soli d stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest
droplets and the lowest drift.
Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 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 dropl ets 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 increa sing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind 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 directions an d
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.
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 for m 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 a nd
rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas: This product 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, no n-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from
the sensitive areas).

[METRIBUZIN 75
EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
Application of This Product with Herbicide Spray Equipment
Use a standard low-pressure (20 to 40 psi) herbicide boom sprayer equipped with suitable nozzles and screens no finer than 50-mesh in
nozzle and in-line strainers. Agitate thoroughly before and during application with bypass agitation.
Low pressure and high volume hand wand equipment is prohibited.
Ground Application: Apply the proper rate of this product in a minimum of 10.0 to 40.0 gallons of spray mixture per acre broadcast.
Banded Application: Use proportionally less of this product per acre in a band versus a broadcast application. For band application use
0.25 to 1.0 gallon of spray mix per inch of band width regardless of row spacing.
Examples: (1) To treat a 15-inch band on rows 30 inches apart, use 1/2 of the broadcast rate of this product. (2) To treat a 14-inch
band on rows 42 inches apart, use 1/3 of the broadcast rate of this product.
Aerial Application: Where permitted, apply specified rate in a minimum of 2.0 to 10.0 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Do not apply
aerially when wind speed is greater than 10 mph.
Note: Do not apply aerially when this product is tank mixed with Intrro®.
For All Applications of Metribuzin 75: Sprayer must be accurately calibrated before applying this product. Check sprayer during
application to be sure it is working properly and delivering a uniform spray pattern. As the volume of spray mixture decreases per
acre, the importance of accurate calibration and uniform application increases. Avoid over application, misapplication, and boom and
spray swath overlapping that will increase spray dosage. (Crop injury may occur as a result.) Avoid spray skips and gaps which allow
weeds to grow in untreated soil. Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift and/or when sensitive or cool season cr ops,
such as cole crops, onions, peas, or strawberries are present in adjacent fields or in areas where wheat is growing in coarse textured
soils.
Sprayer Cleanup: Spray equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to remove remaining traces of herbicide that might injure other crops
to be sprayed. Drain any remaining spray solution of this produc t from the spray tank and dispose of according to label disposa l
instructions. Rinse the spray tank and refill with water, adding a heavy-duty detergent at the rate of 1 cup per 20.0 gallons o f water.
Recycle this mixture through the equipment for 5 minutes and spray out. Repeat this procedure twice. Fill the spray tank with c lean
water, recycle for 5 minutes, and spray out. Clean pump and nozzle screens thoroughly. Wash away any spray mixture from the
outside of spray tank, nozzles or spray rig. All rinse water must be disposed of in compliance with local, state, and Federal guidelines.
Application of Metribuzin 75 in Fluid Fertilizers
This product may be applied in fluid fertilizer solutions to alfalfa and soybeans by following the appropriate mixing procedure s and
compatibility check. When using tank mix combinations, be sure all components are compatible.
Make compatibility checks of this product and tank mix combinations which include this product for each batch of fluid fertiliz er
because of the variability of these fertilizers.
Compatibility Check:
1. Pre-mix 2.0 teaspoonfuls of this product with 8.0 teaspoonfuls of water (1:4 ratio) in a quart jar by adding the water first an d
follow with this product. Mix thoroughly. If a second herbicide is to be used, double the amount of water (1:8 ratio) and add t he
second herbicide after mixing this product first.
2. Then pour 1.0 pint of fluid fertilizer into the quart jar and shake well.
3. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
ONLY USE THIS COMPATIBILITY CHECK WHEN MIXING WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS.
Interpretation of Results: If the solution in the jar appears to be uniform, without signs of agglomeration, or without a separ ation of
an oily film on top of the fertilizer, the mixture may be used . If not, repeat the compatibility check using twice the amount o f water or
add a compatibility agent to the water. If separation occurs, but the mixture can be resuspended by shaking, then application i s
possible with good agitation in the spray tank.
Tank Mixing Guidelines:
1. Add the required amount of water and compatibility agent (if re quired) to the tank. Start agitation system while adding this
product and follow by adding the fluid fertilizer and agitate.
2. If a second herbicide is to be used, follow as above in 1, but use twice the amount of water. Start agitation, add Metribuzin 7 5
7
[METRIBUZIN 75
EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
and follow by adding the second herbicide, and then continue filling the tank with fluid fertilizer.
3. Maintain continuous agitation to assure uniform spray mixture until the tank is emptied.
Commercial Impregnation and Application of Metribuzin 75 on Dry Bulk Fertilizer
Dry bulk fertilizer may be impregnated or coated with this product for application to established alfalfa and to soybeans. All directions,
cautions, and special precautions on this label must be followed along with state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer b lending,
impregnating and labeling.
Impregnation: To impregnate, use a system consisting of a belt, conveyor , or closed drum which is used for dry bulk fertilizer
blending. Any commonly used fertilizer can be impregnated with this product except ammonium nitrate, or fertilizers containing
ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or sodium nitrate. Do not use on powder limestone.
Apply using a minimum of 200 pounds dry bulk fertilizer per acre and up to a maximum of 450 pounds per acre. To impregnate or
coat dry bulk fertilizer, mix this product with sufficient water to form a sprayable slurry. The delivery nozzles must be direc ted to
deliver a fine spray toward the fertilizer for thorough coverage while avoiding spray contact with mixing equipment. Uniform
impregnation of this product to dry bulk fertilizer will vary and if the absorptivity is not adequate, an absorptive powder may be added
to produce a dry, free-flowing mixture. Micro-Cel® E is the recommended absorbent powder. When another herbicide is used with
this product, mix and impregnate immediately.
Apply immediately after impregnation unless experience has shown that impregnated fertilizer can be stored without becoming lumpy
and difficult to spread.
Rates: Select the specified rate of this product per acre from the appropriate section of this label and refer to the formula below t o
determine the amount of this product which is to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fertilizer based on the amount of fertilizer which
will be distributed on 1 acre.
Lb Metribuzin 75 x 2000 Lb Fertilizer = Lb Metribuzin 75
Acre Acre Ton of Fertilizer
Application: Uniform application is essential for satisfactory weed control. Accurate calibration of fertilizer application equipment is
essential for uniform distribution to the soil surface. Apply 1/2 the specified rate and overlap 50% or double apply by splitti ng the
middles to obtain the best distribution pattern.
If fertilizer materials are excessively dusty, use diesel oil or other suitable additive to reduce dust prior to impregnation, as dusty
fertilizer will result in poor distribution during application. Crop injury and/or poor weed control may occur where the impreg nated
fertilizer is not uniformly applied.
Incorporation and Combination Uses: When this product is to be used in combination with another herbicide, follow directions on
this label for combinations, rates, crops, incorporation, and special precautions.

Extended Split-Shot Application
(Includes No-till, Reduced-till, Ridge-till, Strip-till, Mulch-till)
An early preplant (surface-applied or shallow incorporated) application of this product tank mixed with either Dual Magnum or I ntrro, followed
by a preemergence surface application of this product tank mixed with Dual Magnum or Intrro after planting but prior to soybean emergence,
will control more broadleaf and grass weeds in soybeans than either herbicide used alone.
An Extended Split-Shot application will decrease the need for tillage and/or contact herbicides for the control of existing veg etation prior to
planting, while providing residual control of weeds after planting.
When an Extended Split-Shot application of this product with Dual Magnum or Intrro is used, the preplant tank mix combination m ay be
applied 15 to 30 days prior to planting soybeans. Follow directions on the label accompanying the product for Split-Shot applic ations from 0
to 14 days before planting.
Where a rate range is specified, use the higher rate (a) in fields with a history of severe weed pressure, (b) when the time be tween early
preplant tank mix and preemergence overlay applications approaches the maximum 30 days, (c) when the organic matter content of the soil
is at the upper end of the indicated range, (d) when heavy crop residues are present on the soil surface, and/or (e) when the e arly preplant
tank mix application is shallow incorporated (e.g. use 2.0 to 2.5 quarts Intrro in the early preplant tank mix when surface app lied and use
2.5 to 3.0 quarts Intrro when the tank mix is to be lightly incorporated).
When weeds exceed 1 to 1-1/2 inches in height or diameter at application, use a contact herbicide, such as glyphosate (Makaze®) or
Gramoxone Inteon™.

POTATOES
Metribuzin 75 herbicide may be used in ground, aircraft or specified chemigation equipment as a preemergence and/or
postemergence application to potatoes. Early maturing smooth sk inned white and all red skinned varieties may be injured with
postemergence applica
tions. The varieties Atlantic, Bellchip, Centennial, Chipbelle and Shepody are sensitive to Metribuzin 75. Avoid
postemergence applications on these varieties. Preemergence applications on these varieties may cause crop injury under adverse weather
conditions, on coarse soils, under high soil pH, with higher rates per acre and with mechanical incorporation.
Ground Application: Metribuzin 75 may be used with ground spray equipment applied as a preemergence and/or postemergence
application for control of the listed grass and broadleaf weeds in potatoes. Apply as a uniform broadcast spray at 20.0 or more gallons
per acre.
Aerial Application: Metribuzin 75 may be applied in aerial spray equipment as a preemergence and/or postemergence application at
5.0 or more gallons per acre.
Chemigation: Metribuzin 75 may be applied preemergence and/or early postemergence to potatoes using center pivot, solid set ,
and lateral roll systems. Apply specified dosage in 1/4 to 3/4 inch of water per acre (1/4 to 1/2 inch on sandy soil) as a cont inuous
injection in self-propelled systems or apply in the last 15 to 30 minutes of the set in other systems. Be sure all the Metribuz in 75
pounds per acre has been flushed from the lines before shutting down the system.

FIELD CORN
Postemergence Application
Metribuzin 75 may be used for control of selected broadleaf weeds when applied as a tank mix combination with certain broadleaf
herbicides presently registered for post-emergence use in field corn. Herbicides which may be tank mixed with Metribuzin 75
include:
2,4-D Buctril® Laddok® S-12 Rifle
Atrazine
Basagran®
Buctril + atrazine (Premix)
Clarity
Pursuit*
Resource®
Rifle Plus
*Use only on Pursuit resistant/tolerant corn hybrids (IMI-Corn®).
Application: Metribuzin 75 may be applied to field corn after crop emer gence until just prior to tasseling. Broadcast applications
may be made with ground or aerial equipment. For optimum weed control, apply treatments when weeds are small and actively
growing, but before reaching the maximum heights listed in the Weeds Controlled table.
Postemergence Broadcast Application
Ground Application: Adjust nozzle height above crop and weed canopy to ensure uniform spray coverage. Increase gallonage with
increasing weed size and population density.
For tank mixes of Metribuzin 75 plus atrazine, Basagran, Laddok S-12, Buctril, Buctril + atrazine, Pursuit, Resource, or 2,4-D amine
formulations, use flat fan nozzles spaced a maximum of 20 inches apart. Best results are achieved using a minimum spray volume
of 10.0 gallons per acre and spray pressure from 20 to 40 psi.
37
[METRIBUZIN 75
EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
For Metribuzin 75 tank mixes with Clarity, Rifle, Rifle Plus, or 2,4-D low volatile ester formulations, use drift-reducing nozz les which
are specifically designed to produce coarse sprays and reduce the amount of driftable fines. Additional measures which will hel p
avoid potential drift to sensitive crops and plants include using a minimum spray volume of 20.0 gallons per acre and keeping s pray
pressures at or below 20 psi unless otherwise specified by the nozzle manufacturer.
For further precautions and additional instructions and recommendations, consult the tank mix partner’s label.
Aerial Application: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 3.0 gallons per ac re. For optimum spray coverage and distribution, use a
minimum of 5.0 gallons per acre and a maximum pressure of 40 psi. Use a boom and nozzle configuration which will provide a
uniform deposition pattern and coverage with low drift potential. Avoid overlaps to prevent potential crop injury. Do not apply near
sensitive crops or sensitive plants growing near the treated area. Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 10 mph or when
winds are moving toward sensitive crops or plants. To avoid dri ft hazards, applicator must follow the most restrictive labeling of the
products used in a tank mix. Refer to the appropriate tank mix partner’s label for further precautions and recommendations.
Post Directed Application
Metribuzin 75 in tank mix combinations with 2,4-D, Buctril or Rifle may be applied post directed to field corn. Use drop nozzle s and
appropriate spacing to direct spray below the corn whorl and upper leaves. The top of the target weed canopy must be sufficient ly
below the whorl and upper leaves of the crop to permit this application and provide adequate spray coverage. The height differe ntial
required between the crop and weed canopy will depend on the specific equipment used. Apply before tassel emergence. For further
precautions and additional recommendations, refer to the appropriate tank mix partner’s label.
Adjuvants
The adjuvant types listed below may be utilized with certain Metribuzin 75 tank mix combinations. Consult the tank mix section for
the appropriate adjuvant and rate. Use of other adjuvants or rates not listed on this label may result in severe leaf burn, crop stunting,
and/ or stand reduction. Use only adjuvants which are ex empt from tolerance requirements under 40 CFR 180.1-001.
UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) is commonly referred to as 28, 30, or 32% N.
Ammonium sulfate (spray grade) may be used as an alternative to UAN with certain tank mix combinations.
Non-ionic surfactants should contain at least 80% active ingredient.
DO NOT USE crop oil concentrate (COC) or any adjuvant containing vegetable or petroleum oils with any Metribuzin 75 tank mixtures
as severe leaf burn, crop stunting, and/or stand reductions may occur.
Rainfastness
Metribuzin 75 will not reduce rainfastness of the listed tank mix partners. Refer to the individual product labels for rainfast ness
recommendations.
Sprayer Cleanup
Refer to each tank mix partner’s label and the Sprayer Cleanup se ction of the Metribuzin 75 label for specific instructions on cleaning
spray equipment. Special attention should be given to the requir ed cleanup procedures for 2,4-D, Clarity, Rifle and Rifle Plus.
Restrictions:
x Do not use on corn grown for seed, sweet corn, popcorn, or white corn.
x Do not apply more than 0.25 pound active ingredient metribuzin (5.3 ounces Metribuzin 75) per acre per use season.
x Do not apply when field corn is under stress (see Stress statement below).
x Do not use aerial applications if sensitive crops or plants are growing in the vicinity of the area to be treated.
x Do not allow spray drift onto sensitive crops or plants.
x Do not use on sand, loamy sand or sandy loam soils that have less than 0.5% organic matter.
x Do not use on sand or loamy sand soils in Wash ington, Oregon or Idaho or crop injury may occur.
x Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in the tank mixtures.
Stress is any condition or combination of conditions which impairs normal crop growth. Weather, disease, insect damage, fertility ,
or other factors may cause stress. Applications made before or after the corn is under stress from these factors or from period s of
prolonged cool, wet , and cloudy weather or widely fluctuating day and nighttime temperatures, may result in temporary leaf burn,
yellowing and/ or stunting of the crop. Recovery from damage is generally rapid with no lasting effects on new growth. Under extreme
stress, stand reductions may occur.

WEEDS SUPPRESSED*:
Common chickweed Dog fennel (Mayweed) Henbit Shepherd’s-purse
Common lambsquarters Field pennycress Pigweed Wild mustard
*Suppression is a reduction in weed size and growth compared to a non-treated area in the same field. Metribuzin 75 used alone will not
control triazine-resistant weed species.
Broadcast Applications
Crop Metribuzin 75 Lb/A
Garbanzo beans 0.3 to 0.5
Apply specified dosage in a single preemergence application using 10.0 to 40.0 gal of
water/A with ground spray equipment. Apply before or after planting but before crop
emergence. Thorough incorporation, either by rainfall or by mechanical means, is essential
for weed suppression. Under dry conditions, incorporate Metribuzin 75 into the top 1 to 2
inches of soil with spike harrows, or similar shallow incorporation equipment, then cross
harrow to insure uniform soil incorporation. Where soil surface is moist at the time of
application and rain follows before weed emergence, a broadcast application should provide
adequate weed suppression.
Use on coarse-textured soils, sandy soils , or any soil with less than 1.5% organic matter will
likely cause crop injury. Use the higher rate on fine textured soils (high in clay or organic
matter) and in fields with a history of high weed populations.
Restrictions:
• Crop injury may result if crop is under stress conditions caused by cold weather, poor soil fertility, diseases , or insect damage.
• Do not use on clay knobs or poorly covered subsoils.
• Do not apply preemergence on shallow seedlings less than 2 inches deep.
• Do not graze or feed treated vines to livestock within 40 days after application.
Precautions:
• Crop injury may result if application if followed by heavy rain. Avoid application of more than 1/2 inch of irrigation within o ne month
after application of Metribuzin 75, or crop injury may occur.
• This treatment may cause some chlorosis or minor necrosis. Because garbanzo bean varieties may vary in their susceptibility to
Metribuzin 75, determine crop tolerance prior to adoption as a field scale practice to prevent possible injury.
LENTILS AND PEAS
(Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and North Dakota)
Metribuzin 75 herbicide may be used as a preemergence and postemergence application for the suppression of certain broadleaf

*Suppression is a reduction in weed size and growth compared to a non-treated area in the same field.
**Preemergence application only.
Preemergence Application: Make a single preemergence application of Metribuzin 75 at 0.25 to 0.5 pound per acre per crop year.
Apply in 10.0 or more gallons of water per acre with ground spray eq uipment or 5.0 or more gallons of water per acre with aerial
spray equipment. Apply Metribuzin 75 before or after planting. Thorough incorporation, either by rainfall or by mechanical mean s, is
essential for weed suppression. Under dry conditions, incorporate Metribuzin 75 into the top 1 to 2 inches of soil with spike h arrows,
or similar shallow incorporation equipment, then cross harrow to insure uniform soil incorporation. Where soil surface is moist at the
time of application and rain follows before weed emergence, a broadcast application should provide adequate weed suppression.
Use the higher rate on fine-textured soils (high in clay or organic matter) and in fields with a history of high weed populations.

EPA REG. NO. 34704-876]
Metribuzin 75 may be applied pre- or post plant incorporated as a tank mix combination with Far-Go® 4EC. Follow the Directions for
Use statements on both product labels.
Postemergence Application: One postemergence application may be made per season. Use 0.16 to 0.3 pound of Metribuzin 75 per
acre on lentils and spring peas. On winter peas, use 0.25 to 0.3 pound of Metribuzin 75 per acre. For suppression of Dog fennel,
use 0.3 pound Metribuzin 75 per acre. Apply specified dosage in 20.0 or more gallons of water per acre with ground spray equipment
or 5.0 or more gallons of water per acre with aerial spray equipment. Do not exceed 40 psi with ground spray equipment. Apply a s
a broadcast spray when weeds are small (less than 2 inches in height or diameter) and before crop is 6 inches tall.
Precautions:
• Temporary chlorosis of the crop may occur. There is an added risk of crop injury if a postemergence application is made
following a previous preemer - gence or post plant incorporated Metribuzin 75 application.
• Do not apply over very moist soils or wet crop foliage. Do not apply postemergence applications within 3 days after periods of
cool, wet, or cloudy weather or crop injury may occur.
• Do not apply within 24 hours of treatment with other pesticides.
• Crop injury may result if crop is under stress conditions caused by cold weather, low fertility, disease , or insect damage.
• Crop injury may also result if application is followed by heavy rain.
• Do not apply to “Estin” lentils.
• This treatment may cause some chlorosis or minor necrosis. Because lentil and pea varieties may vary in their susceptibility to
Metribuzin 75, determining crop tolerance prior to adoption as a field scale practice is suggested to prevent possible injury.
Restrictions (Lentils and Peas):
• Do not apply more than 0.6 pound Metribuzin 75 per acre per year.
• Do not use on coarse-textured soils, sandy soils , or soils with less than 1.5% organic matter.
• Do not use on clay knobs or poorly covered subsoils.
• Do not apply on shallow seedlings less than 2 inches deep (preemergence only).
• Pre-harvest Interval (PHI): Do not apply within 50 days of harvest of peas, or within 75 days of harvest of lentils.
• Do not graze or feed treated vines to livestock within 40 days after application.
Maintain continuous spray tank agitation to keep material in suspension. Avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while turni ng,
slowing, or stopping, or crop injury may occur.

tomatoes until plants have reached the 5- to 6-leaf stage or severe crop injury may occur.
• Crop injury or delayed maturity may result from broadcast or directed spray applications if tomatoes are growing under stress
conditions such as periods of drought or cool, wet , and cloudy weather preceding application.
• For newly introduced tomato varieties with unknown tolerance to Me tribuzin 75, treat only a small area to determine if Metribuz in
75 can be used without injury to the crop.
CEREALS
(Spring and Winter Barley and Winter Wheat)
Metribuzin 75 herbicide may be used for control or suppression of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied postemergence
to spring and winter barley or winter wheat. Metribuzin 75 al one and several tank mixture treatments are recommended for use in
the following states: Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indian a, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington.
Mixing: See the “Product Information” section of this label for specific mixing procedures. When tank mixing, carefully follow the
instructions on this label. Refer to the other product labels registered for use in barley and winter wheat for additional use directions,
rates, weeds controlled and restrictions.
Application: Metribuzin 75 may be applied by aerial or ground application equipment. Use a minimum spray volume of 2.0 gpa by air and
10.0 gpa by ground. Uniform spray coverage is necessary to obtain optimum weed control and to minimize potential for crop injur y.
Do not exceed rates specified on this label. Do not apply Metribuzin 75 through any type of irrigation equipment. Apply Metribu zin
75 when the crop is healthy and actively growing. Metribuzin 75 may be applied more than once per crop season. Allow a minimum
of 21 days between applications if wheat is actively growing or allow 45 days between applications if wheat is growing in adver se
conditions, has entered dormancy or is stressed due to frost da mage, disease, drought or excessive moisture. Do not use on soil s
containing less than 0.75% organic matter. Do not apply more than a total of 10.66 ounces Metribuzin 75 (8.0 ounces active
ingredient) per acre per year. On irrigated cereals, do not apply more than 0.5 inch of water for the first irrigation, the max imum
amount for each additional irrigation must not exceed 1 inch. Allow a minimum of 14 days between the first irrigation and subsequent
irrigations.
Performance Factors: Weed control may not be observed for 2 to 4 weeks under normal growth conditions and for 4 to 6 weeks
under very dry conditions. Moisture (at least 1/2 inch) is requir ed within 2 to 3 weeks after application to move Metribuzin 75 into the
weed root zone. Lack of adequate moisture after application may result in poor or erratic weed control. Control or suppression of
listed weeds is dependent on weed size at time of application. Control or suppression may be reduced if broadleaf weeds are tal ler
than 1 inch or grasses have more than 2 leaves.
Tank Mixtures: Metribuzin 75 may be tank mixed with Ally®, Amber®, Finesse®, Glean® FC, Harmony Extra, 2,4-D, MCPA, Rifle,
Bromac® or Buctril herbicides. A nonionic surfactant containing at least 80% active ingredient may be used in Metribuzin 75 tan k
mixes with sulfonylurea herbicides (Ally, Amber, Finesse, Glean FC , and Harmony Extra). Do not use a crop oil concentrate or any
adjuvant containing vegetable or petroleum oils with any Metribuzin 75 mix as crop injury may result. Additional pesticides may also
be tank mixed with Metribuzin 75 unless specifically prohibited on the mix products’ label. In some instances, combinations with
organophosphate insecticides may cause temporary leaf yellowing and/or crop injury, especially when widely fluctuating day/nigh t
temperatures occur near application. Always refer to the other pr oduct labels registered for use on cereals for additional dire ctions,
rates and weed species controlled. Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures.

For Weed Control in a Wheat/Fallow/Wheat Rotation
(Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington Only)
Metribuzin 75 may be applied to provide weed control during the fallow period after wheat harvest or in the spring before winte r
wheat is planted. Winter wheat can be seeded 4 months (120 days) after spring application. Mechanical tillage or the application of
a contact herbicide may be required to control weeds germinating prior to seeding of winter wheat. Best results will be obtaine d
where straw and chaff are evenly distributed across the field.
For specific application information see the “Product Information” section in the front of this label.
Where weed growth is present at application time, Metribuzin 75 should be applied with Gramoxone Inteon or other contact herbicide.
