Environmental Hazards
Simazine can travel (seep or leach) through soil and can enter ground water which may
be used as drinking water. Simazine has been found in ground water. Users are advised
not to apply simazine 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
4
local agricultural agencies can provide further information on the type of soil in your area
and the location of ground water.
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas
where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
Runoff and drift from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring
areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water.
Product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet of intermittent streams and rivers,
natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. Product must not be applied within 66 feet of
points where agricultural field (nurseries, Christmas tree plantings, and turf grasses for
sod farms) surface water runoff enters perennial or intermittent streams and rivers or
within 200 feet of natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. If this product is applied to
highly erodible land, the 66 foot buffer or setback from runoff entry points must be planted
to crop, or seeded with grass or other suitable crop.
Product must not be mixed or loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including
abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sink holes. Operations that involve mixing, loading,
rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment
or containers within 50 ft. of any well are prohibited, unless conducted on an impervious
pad constructed to withstand the weight of the heaviest load that may be positioned on
or moved across the pad. Such a pad shall be designed and maintained to contain any
product spills or equipment leaks, container or equipment rinse or wash water, and rain
water that may fall on the pad. Surface water shall not be allowed to either flow over or
from the pad which means the pad must be self -contained. The pad shall be sloped to
facilitate material removal. An unroofed pad shall be of sufficient capacity to contain at a
minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment
on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof of sufficient size to completely exclude
precipitation from contact with the pad shall have a minimum containment of 100% of the
capacity of the largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad.
Containment capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-
specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when delivering
pesticide to the mixing/loading sites.
Additional State imposed requirements regarding well -head setbacks and operational
area containment must be observed.
One of the following restrictions must be used in applying simazine to tile- outletted
terraced fields containing standpipes:
• Do not apply within 66 feet of standpipes in tile-outletted terraced fields.
• Apply this product to the entire tile- outletted terraced field and immediately
incorporate it to a depth of 2-3 inches in the entire field.
• Apply this product to the entire tile- outletted terraced field under a no- till practice
only when a high crop residue management practice is practiced. High crop
5
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.
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.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Aerial application is prohibited.
When tank mixing or sequentially applying simazine or products containing simazine, the
total pounds of simazine applied must not exceed the specific maximum rate per calendar
year as noted in the use directions.
Apply Princep 4L herbicide before weeds em erge or after removal of weed growth.
Princep 4L controls a wide variety of annual broadleaf and grass weeds when used at
selective rates in agricultural crops.
Where a range of application rates is given, use the low rate on coarse-textured soil and
soil lower in organic matter; use the high rate on fine- textured soil and soil higher in
organic matter.
Since Princep 4L enters weeds mainly through their roots, moisture is needed to move it
into the root zone. Very dry soil conditions following application may necessitate shallow
cultivation or rotary hoeing.
Princep 4L is nonflammable.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
SIMAZINE GROUP 5 HERBICIDE
Simazine, the active ingredient in this product, is a Group 5 herbicide based on the
mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America. Any
weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to Group 5 herbicides. Such
resistant weed plants may not be effectively managed using Group 5 herbicides but
may be effectively managed utilizing another herbicide alone or in mixtures from a
different group and/or by using cultural or mechanical practices. However, an herbicide
mode of action classification by itself may not adequately address specific weeds that
are resistant to specific herbicides. Consult your local company representative, state
cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to
determine appropriate actions for treating specific resistant weeds.
Scout and know your field
• Know weed species present in the field to be treated through scouting and field
history. An understanding of weed biology is useful in designing a resistance
management strategy. Ensure the weed management program will control all
weeds present.
• Fields should be scouted prior to application to determine species present and
growth stage. Always apply this herbicide at the full labeled rate and correct
timing for the weeds present in the field.
Utilize non-herbicidal practices to add diversity
• Use diversified management tactics such as cover crops, mechanical weed
control, harvest weed seed control, and crop rotation as appropriate.
Use good agronomic practices, start clean and stay clean
• Use good agronomic practices that enhance crop competitiveness.
• Plant into weed-free fields utilizing tillage or an effective burndown herbicide for
control of emerged weeds.
• Sanitize farm equipment to avoid spreading seed or vegetative propagules prior
to leaving fields.
Difficult to control weeds
• Fields with difficult to control weeds should be planted in rotation with crops that
allow the use of herbicides with an alternative mode of action or different
management practices.
• Difficult to control weeds may require sequential applications, such as a broad
spectrum preemergence herbicide followed by one or more postemergence
herbicide applications. Utilize herbicides containing different modes of action
effective on the target weeds in sequential applications.
11
Do not overuse the technology
• Do not use more than two applications of this or any other herbicide with the
same mode of action in a single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide
with a different mode of action which provides overlapping spectrum for the
difficult to control weeds.
Scout and inspect fields following application
• Prevent an influx of weeds into the field by controlling weeds in field borders.
• Scout fields after application to verify that the treatment was effective.
• Suspected- herbicide resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators
• Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at
the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
• A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
and
• Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
• Report non-performance of this product to your Syngenta retailer, Syngenta
representative, or call 1-866-Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). If resistance is
suspected ensure weed escapes are controlled using an herbicide with an
effective mode of action and/or use non-chemical means to prevent further seed
production.
Prevent weed escapes before, during, and after harvest
• Do not allow weed escapes to produce seed or vegetative structures such as
tubers or stolons which contribute to spread and survival. Consider harvest
weed seed management and control weeds post-harvest to prevent seed
production.
Resistant Weeds
Contact your local Syngenta representative, retailer, crop advisor or extension agent to
determine if weeds resistant to this mode of action are present in your area. If resistant
biotypes have been reported, use the full labeled rate of this product, apply at the labeled
timing, and tank-mix with a different mode of action product so there are multiple effective
modes of application for each suspected resistant weed.
12
PERENNIAL CROP REPLANTING
If replanting perennial crops, do not apply Princep 4L in the year preceding planting these
crops, unless otherwise stated on this label, or crop injury may occur.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Ground boom applications: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles
that provide accurate and uniform applicati on. 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 20 gal of spray mixture per acre.
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35- 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 prov ide propeller shear action for
dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10
gal/minute/100 gal. tank size circulated through a correctly 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 coarser screens between the pump and boom,
and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturers recommendations.
For band applications, calculate 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 of field
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer,
but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser 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
13
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 design ed for the intended application.
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce spray drift.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce 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 dry 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 generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need t o be familiar with local wind patterns
and terrain that could affect spray drift.
14
Handheld Technology Applications
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
APPLICATION THROUGH MICRO-SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (FOR
USE ON CITRUS ONLY IN CALIFORNIA)
Princep 4L may be applied only through micro-sprinkler 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 non-uniform
distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should
contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other
experts. Do not connect any irrigation system used for pesticide application to a
public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public
water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the irrigation 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.
Irrigation System Operating Instructions
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-
closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection
pump.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut
off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. 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.
6. Systems must use a metering device, 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.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
Micro-Sprinkler Application Instructions
Princep 4L must be applied on the schedule specified in the specific crop use
recommendations on the product label and not according to the irrigation schedule.
15
Princep 4L has not been sufficiently tested when applied through micro-sprinkler
irrigation systems to assure consistent product performance for all labeled uses. The
following calibration and application techniques are provided for user reference, but do
not constitute a warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler or drip irrigation
equipment. Users must check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential
use restrictions before applying any agricultural chemical through micro-sprinkler
irrigation equipment.
General Instructions
1. Each run of the irrigation system must be calibrated separately to determine
the time it takes water to move through the system and to make sure all
emitters in the system are putting out the same amount of water.
2. Only pressure injection or venturi equipment is recommended.
3. Determine the area to be treated in each irrigation run.
4. Measure the output of each of the emitters closest to and farthest from
the injector site.
5. For calibration, substitute a concentrated detergent (such as Wisk) or a
soluble fertilizer for the Princep 4L in the injector tank. The detergent will
bubble as it leaves the emitters. The time period over which bubbles occur
should be checked for both the closest and farthest emitters. If these times
are not within 2 minutes of each other, adjust the dilution ratio and/or the
injection rate.
6. If a soluble fertilizer is used, measure the time intervals with a salt bridge.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Before starting to calibrate, operate the system until all the emitters are
putting out at equal flow rates or until the system is operating at full
pressure.
2. Make up an indicator solution of detergent or fertilizer, using the same ratio to
be used when mixing Princep 4L.
3. Set the injector to apply the indicator solution at the injection rate to be used
in the actual Princep 4L application.
4. Attach a 5-inch length of flexible tubing over the emitter closest to the
injection point, another length over the emitter farthest away. Both emitters
should be monitored to determine the time intervals that the indicator
solutions are observed.
5. Begin injecting the indicator solution. Direct the flow from the tubes at the
emitters into a small container. Begin timing when the indicator solution is
first detected, stop timing when the indicator solutions are no longer
detected.
6. If the period of detection of the indicator solution between the 2 emitters are
within 2 minutes of each other, comparable coverage will be obtained. If they
are not, make adjustments by increasing the dilution ratio, using more water
per part of Princep 4L, or adjust the injector to a slower flow rate.
16
7. Once the system is calibrated, dilute the needed amount of Princep 4L with
water in the mix tank using a minimum of 15 parts water to 1 part Princep 4L
in the solution tank.
8. Do not begin to inject Princep 4L into the system until all emitters are
producing equal flow rates, or until the system is at full pressure.
9. Inject the Princep 4L into the system at the beginning of the irrigation set in
½-1 inch of irrigation water. Do not apply in excess of 1 inch of water.
MIXING PROCEDURES
All Uses: (1) Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials, or
crop injury or sprayer clogging may result. (2) Fill tank ¼ full with clean water, nitrogen
solution, or complete fluid fertilizer. (3) Start agitation. (4) Be certain that the agitation
system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface.
(5) If any dry herbicides are being tank mixed, add them to the tank and allow them to
become thoroughly suspended. (6) Then pour Princep 4L directly from jug into tank. (7)
Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation if necessary to maintain surface
action. (8) Add other liquid tank mix herbicide(s) after this product is thoroughly
suspended. (9) Finish filling tank. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials. (10)
Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent buildup of emulsifiable
concentrate residue from possible tank mix herbicides. (11) If an emulsifiable concentrate
film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent.
(12) Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water
containing a detergent.
Compatibility test: To determine the tank mix compatibility of Princep 4L with l iquid
fertilizer, crop oil, spreaders, or other recommended pesticides, use this test method.
Nitrogen solutions or complete fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the water in the
spray in corn. Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the s ame analysis, check
compatibility each time before use. Be especially careful when using complete
suspension or fluid fertilizers, as serious compatibility problems are more apt to occur.
Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. Check
compatibility using this procedure:
1. Add 1 pt of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt glass jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp. of a compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ tsp.
is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gal spray). Cap and shake until mixed. Examples of
compatibility agents include Compex® and Unite®.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more than one
herbicide is used, add them separately with dry herbicides first, flowables next, and
emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, cap and shake until thoroughly
mixed. The appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows (assuming a
spray volume of 25 gal/A):
17
Dry herbicides: For each pound per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons to each
jar. Fluff up wettable powder products before
measuring.
Liquid herbicides: For each pint per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon to each jar.
For a spray volume other than 25 gal /A, change the teaspoons added to each jar
as follows:
25 gal X no. teaspoons given above = teaspoons to add
desired gal spray volume per acre to each jar
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten. Shake jars vigorously one
minute. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large
flakes, precipitates, grease, gels, medium to 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 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed
readily, the mixture can probably be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
the mixtures ar e incompatible, test the following methods of improving
compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add ½
of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other ½ to the emulsifiable
concentrate or flowable herbicid e before addition to the mixture. If still
incompatible, do not use the materials mixed in the same spray tank.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
Princep 4L applied as directed in this label will control or partially control the weeds
listed in Table 1. Optimal weed control can be obtained if Princep 4L is applied
according to all label use directions.
Princep 4L will not control emerged weeds so applications must be made to a weed-
free soil surface or in tank mixture with products that provide postemergence control
of weeds present at the time of application.
Dry weather following application of Princep 4L may reduce residual weed control
effectiveness.
Refer to the crop sections on this label for specific rates and use directions.

Apply the Princep 4L rate given under the appropriate crop on this label plus 2.67-5.33 lb
of Surflan 75W or 2-4 qt of Surflan A.S. in 20-40 gal of water per acre. Refer to the Surflan
75W or Surflan A.S. label for complete tank mix directions. Observe all precautions and
limitations on the Princep 4L and Surflan labels.
FIELD CROPS
CORN (FIELD, POP AND SWEET)
[Not for use on popcorn in CA.]
Apply a maximum of 2 qt Princep 4L per acre (2.0 lb ai/A) as a single preemergence
application on soils that are not highly erodible or on highly erodible soils, as defined by
the Natural Resources Conservation Service, if at least 30% of the soil is covered with
plant residues. If a second treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application,
the total simazine applied may not exceed 2.5 lb ai/A per calendar year.
If the soil is highly erodible and covered with <30% plant residues, apply a maximum of
1.6 lb ai/acre as a single preemergence applicat ion. For highly erodible soils and is
covered with <30% plant residue, do not apply more than one application of Princep 4L
and not more than 1.6 lb ai/A (1.6 qt/A).
Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for field corn: 60 days
Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for popcorn: 60 days
Pre-grazing/pre-harvest interval for sweet corn: 45 days
Nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer may replace all or part of the water in the
spray. Determine the physical compatibility of Princep 4L with fertilizer before use. Refer
to the Product Information section of this label for a compatibility test procedure. Do
not apply after corn has emerged, as there is danger of liquid fertilizer causing crop injury.
Use a minimum of 10 gal of spray mixture per acre.
30
Preemergence: Apply before weeds and corn emerge. Use the specified rate as stated
above.
Preplant: Broadcast in the spring at the specified rate as stated above. If soil is tilled
or worked after application, avoid deep incorporation of Princep 4L. Best results will be
obtained when Princep 4L is applied within 2 weeks before planting. Under dry weather
conditions, preplant applications may give better weed control than preemergence. If
weeds develop, particularly under relatively dry conditions, a shallow cultivation will
generally result in better weed control.
Winter Annual Broadleaf Control Preemergence Fall Application
For preemergence control of winter annual weeds, such as common chickweed, henbit,
shepherdspurse, tansymustard, wild mustard, annual bluegrass, downy brome, and
others, broadcast 1 qt/A of Princep 4L after harvest of the preceding crop and prior to
weed emergence on land to be planted to corn the following year. A tillage operation may
precede the application. Do not apply to frozen ground. If Princep 4L is used in the fall
corn weed control program, do not exceed 1.5 qt of Princep 4L preemergence in the
spring.
Restrictions:
1. Do not apply more than 2.5 qt of Princep 4L per acre of corn per calendar year.
2. Do not plant any crop except corn until the following year.
3. Do not graze or harvest field corn or popcorn for 60 days following application.
4. Do not graze or harvest sweet corn for 45 days following application.
5. Do not apply Princep 4L preplant incorporated for weed control in corn in the High
Plains and Intermountain areas of the West (including central and western KS,
western NE, western OK, and the Panhandle of TX) where rainfall is sparse and
erratic or where irrigation is required.
6. Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans), spring-
seeded small grains, or small -seeded legumes and grasses the year following
Princep 4L application.
7. Applications made to sweet corn by mechanically pressurized handguns are
restricted to spot treatment only.
Precautions:
1. Following harvest, plow and thoroughly till the soil in fall or spring to minimize
possible injury to spring-seeded rotational crops, regardless of the rate used.
2. In the High Plains and Intermountain areas of the West where rainfall is sparse
and erratic or where irrigation is required, use Princep 4L only when corn is to
follow corn or when a crop of untreated corn is to precede other rotational crops.
3. Injury may occur to soybeans planted in north- central and northwest IA, south -
central and southwest MN, northeast NE, southeast SD, and other areas the year
following application on soils having a calcareous surface layer.
31
Tank Mixtures on Corn
AAtrex® or other solo atrazine containing products: Use Princep 4L in a preplant or
preemergence tank mixture with AAtrex brands or other solo atrazine containing products
for control of many annual weeds, including carpetweed, crabgrass, fall panicum, foxtail,
lambsquarters, morningglory, pigweed, ragweed, and velvetleaf.
When tank mixing or sequentially applying simazine and/or atrazine or products
containing either activ e ingredient to corn, the total pounds of simazine and/or atrazine
applied must not exceed 2.5 lb ai/acre per calendar year.
Refer to the AAtrex or other solo atrazine containing product label for complete directions
and use 1 qt/A of Princep 4L for each 1 lb/A of AAtrex. Also refer to the AAtrex or other
solo atrazine containing product label and the Corn section of this label for precautions
and restrictions.
