PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS 
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS 
CAUTI·ON 
Harmful if swallowed. 
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. 
Avoid breathing spray mist. 
Wash thoroughly after use. 
Avoid contamination of feed and food. 
W.Otz¥tR HzoTttn~tJ LANC,U.~ -
2. 
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: Do not contaminate water to be used 
on susceptlble crops or for domestic purposes. 
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS 
Read all label directions before using. 
EPTAM should be used only for recommended purposes and at 
recommended rates. DO NOT OVERDOSE. 
EPTAM i.s recommended for use on m~neral soils only. 
For incorporated applications, use equipment which has been 
proven to incorporate thoroughly to the recommended depth. 
In irrigated areas, do not apply EPTAM prior to preirrigation. 
Do not tank mix this product with insecticides or fungicides. 
When properly applied and weather conditions exist for normal 
plant growth through the season, EPTAM will not harm the treated 
crop nor should harmful soil residues remain beyond harvest. 
However, during germination and early growth, extended periods 
of unusually cold and wet or hot and dry weather, insect, 
nematode. or plant disease attack the use of certain soil 
applied systemiC insecticides, highly saline or alkaline soil 
conditions, improperly placed fertilizers or soil insecticides 
may create abnormal conditions that weaken crop seedlings. 
Also some of these abnormal conditions may weaken established 
crops: alfalfa. almond.s, etc. EPTAM used under these abnor­
mal conditions could result in crop injury.

3. 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a ~ee .......J~~_ 
mannerinconsJ\tent with its label'ing.l ~ .J,.n ... w;;,..., 
- .... "'~ ::c~>e.2.T wo~Kelt 'Pa.onal'o;./ ~Gt.L~ - \:> EPTAM 6-E is a selective herbicide which for most uses must 
be mixed (incorporated) •. or inject~d subsurface ,into the sOil. 
or applied in the irrigation water for control of weeds listed 
on this label. EPTAM controls weeds by.interfering with nor­
mal germination and seedling development. It does not control 
established weeds. 
INCORPORATION 
l APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: 
.' 
,) 
Pour the recommended amount of EPTAM 6-E into the spray tank 
during the filling operations. App13 in 10 to 50 gallons of 
water per acre using a properly calibrated. low-pressure sprayer 
having good agitation. The soil should be well worked and 
dry enough to permit good soil mixing (incorporation). 
EPTAM ~ay be combined with solution. slurry or suspension 
fertilizers. However. physical compatibility with these fluid 
fertilizers must be determined before combining in the spray 
tank. See special literature giving directions for these 
co~bina~ions. Even though found to be compatible. constant 
agitation is necessary to keep the EPTAM evenly mixed with 
the fluid fertilizer. 
For all band applications. reduce dosage proportionately de­
pending upon the row spacing and band width to be treated.' 
INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS: 
EPTAM must be incorporated into the soil immediately to pre­
vent loss of the herbicide. Whenever possible. application 
and incorporation should be done in the same operation. 
SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) BEFORE PLANTING: 
Use power driven CUltivation equipment set to cut to a depth 
of 2 to 3 inches OR tandem discs set to cut to a depth of 
4 to 6 inches. operated at 4 to 6 mph followed by a spiked­
tooth harrow or some other leveling device which extends be­
yond the ends of the discs. For more thorough mixing (for 
perennial grasses and in heavier soils) disc in two different 
di rections (cross disc).

INSERT 
) 
)

· . 
EPTAM 6-E Booklet 4. 
INCOR~ORATION AT OR AFTER PLANTING: 
Use power driven cultivation equipmerit set to cut to a depth 
of 2 to 3 inches OR on light soils only, ground driven tillers 
(rolling cultivators, rotary hoe. ,row wheels, etc.) set to 
cut to a depth of 1-1/2 inches and operated at 6 to 8 mph. 
When incorporating after planting, care must be taken not to 
disturb the crop seed ot seedling. 
SUBSURFACE APPLICATfoN -
AT PLANTING OR POST EMERGENCE 
Apply EPTAM 6-E in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. 
, Special equipment designed for subsurfaGe application MUST 
} be used. Injector and sweep units must be ri gidly mounted 
on the planter or cultivation unit. When using sweeps at 
planting they must be mounted ahead of the planters. 
SOIL INJECTION: Injector s~anks must be spaced 2-1/2 to 3 
inches apart and mounted in staggered positions to avoid trash 
buildup. Set shanks to inject EPTAM 1-1/2 to 3 inches below 
the soil surface. The width of the band in which weed control 
is desired will determine the number and spacing of injector 
shanks required per row. (Example: Four injector shanks 
spaced 3 inches apart give a 12-inch band). A broadcast ap­
plication can be made by increasing the number of shanks. 
The two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 
inches on either side of it, EXCEPT IN COTTON WHERE THE DIS­
TANCE MUST BE 4 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. AND 
SUGAR BEETS WHERE THE DISTANCE MUST BE 2-3/4 INCHES ON EITHER 
.J SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. 
COVERED SWEEPS: Set the sweeps to run below the soil surface 
deep enough to cover the EPTAM with 2 to 3 inches of soil. 
Calibrate by measuring the spray band width at the back of the 
sweep. not the sweep width. For broadcast application stagger 
sweeps on double tool bar so they overlap sufficiently to allow 
spray bands to meet. 
NOTE: When applying with either injectors or sweeps, EPTAM 
must be applied deep enough to allow 2 to 3 inches of soil 
to remain over the treatment after the planting operations. 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
For pre-plant applications. seeding should be done as soon as 
possible after treatment to obtain a maximum period of weed 
control.

IRRIGATION APPLICATION -
POST-~LANTING AND EstABLISHED CROPS 
5. 
Meter EPTAM 6-E into the irrig~tipn water using a metering 
device that will introduce a constant flow into the water. 
For flood, furrow, or sprinkler irrigation meter the EPTAM 
into the water during the entire ~etiod OR. for sprinkler 
irrigation, the EPTAM may be metered into suffident water 
to pen~trate to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Time this EPTAM 
application to insure that proper pene~rati,on of the herbicide 
corresponds with the end of the irrigation period. Flush the 
lines and then turn the wat.er off promptly. Consult "RECOM­
MENDATIONS· on this label for proper timing of application 
for each crop for which irrigation application is recommended. 
Tailwater (run off water) from flood or furrow irrigation 
should be recirculated or used only on other corps which are 
registered for this type of application. 
CULTURAL PRACTICES 
FoLLOWING AppLiCAtION 
EPTAM is not persistent in the soil and susceptible weeds germin­
ating later during the growing season may not be controlled. 
Shallow cultivation or post emergence herbicides may be neces­
sary to control these susceptible weeds that escape control 
by EPTAM, as well as those weeds not susceptible to EPTAM. 
Do not cultivate deeper than the depth of the herbicide incorp­
oration. Where t01erant broadleaf weeds are a problem, re­
commended post emergence materials may also be applied. 
WEEDS CONTROLLED 
EPTAM will not control establiShed weeds.

These recommendations are given as the broadcast (overall) 
rates of EPTAM 6-E per acre. For band treatment. use pro­
portionately less material per acredependtng upon· the wtdth 
of the band to be treated and the. crop row spact ng. Do not 
use band application on. rocky ground because thorough incor­
poration is not possible. 
ALFALFA. BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL CLOVERS, LESPEDEZA: Apply and 
lncorporate 1/2 to 2/3 gall-on EPTAM 6-E per acre just before 
planting. Temporary crop stunting and sealing of the first 
leaves will occur if conditions for germination and growth 
are not optimum. Do not use EPTAM if a grass or grain nurse 
crop is to be planted with the legume. 
OR ALFALFA (FOR CONTROL OF ANNUAL GRASSES GROWING FROM SEED 
ONLY): Apply and lncorporate 1/3 gallon EPTAM 6-E per acre 
just before planting. Temp~rary crop stunting and sealing 
of the first leaves will occur if conditions for germination 
and growth are not optimum • 
. AND/OR ALFALFA AND LADINO CLOVER: (Established stand) Meter 
1/3 to 1/2 gallon EPTAM 6-E per acre into the irrigation water 
applied to established stand prior to weed emergence. Do 
not apply within 45 days of harvesting or grazing Ladino clover. 
Do not apply within 14 days of harvesting or grazing alfalfa. 
(Use the lower rate on very light soils). 
BEANS, GREEN OR DRY: Do not use EPTAM on cowpeas (blackeye 
peas, blackeye beans). soybeans. lima beans or other flat~ 
podded beans except Romano. Under abnormal weather conditions. 
stunting may occur on Gratiot. Michlite. Sanilac and Seaway 
v-arieties. 
Apply and incorporate EPTAM 6-E just before planting. or at the 
time of last cultivation. In lighter soils apply and incor­
porate 1/2 gallon EPTAM 6-E per acre for Nutgrass. annual grass 
and broadleaf control. In heavier soils apply and incorporate 
2/3 gallon EPTAM 6-E per acre for Quackgrass. Nutgrass and 
Seedling Johnsongrass control. (Do not exceed 1/2 gallon 
EPTAM 6-E per acre on small white beans or green beans grown 
on lighter textured soils.) 
If applied before planting, rotary hoe lightly during or shortly 
after emergence of the beans to break any crust which occurs.

~PTAM 6-E Booklet 9. 
If applied at the time of last cultivation. apply as a directed 
spray to the soil before bean pods start to form. and do not 
feed or pasture vines to livestock until 45 days after appli­
cati on. 
CASTOR BEANS: Apply and incorporate 1/3 gallon EPTAM 6-E 
per acre lmmediately after planting. Use a rotary.hoe for 
incorporation. Early cultivation after 'EPTAM application 
enhances weed control. . .

COTTON: Non-irrigated Areas Only - Cotton is susceptible to 
injury :from EPTAM. Follow DIRECTIONS 'FOR USE carefully to 
avoid crop injury. Before any application is made, the appli­
cator should familiarize himself with the subsurface concept 
of weed control in cotton. Applicat{on ~ust be made with 
specially designed subsu~face swe~ps or injector shan~s. 
With the sweep equipment, one sweep is placed on each side 
of the row so that two bands of EPTAM are applied subsurface 
and 4 inches to each side of the cotton row. For injector 
shanks, the first injector to each side of the row should 
be 4 inches from the drill with additional shanks spaced 2-1/2 
to 3 inches apart. 
Set the blade or injectors so that the EPTAM is placed 1-1/2 
to 2 inches below the soil surface. For weed control in the 
drill a pre-emergence herbicide may be applied as an 8-inch 
band surface treatment to the drill row zone, or a directed 
contact spray, herbicidal oil or flame may be applied later. 
EPTAM MUST NOT BE APPLIED CLOSER THAN 4 INCHES TO THE COTTON 
DRILL. 
AT PLANTING TIME TREATMENT: For all soil types, apply 
by lnjector unlts or sweeps at the rate of 1/4 gallon 
EPTAM 6-E per broadcast acre. 
OR 
APPLICATION AFTER STAND IS ESTABLISHED: Apply 1/3 gallon 
EPTAM 6-E per broadcast acre. Use specially designed 
injector units or sweeps for application. If incorpo'rated 
application is to be made, use power driven rotary tillers 
set to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Apply after cotton has 
2 to 4 leaves. Do not apply after first bolls open. DO 
NOT APPLY CLOSER THAN 4 INCHES TO EITHER SIDE OF THE COTTON 
DRILL. 
NOTE: Tandem discs may be used for incorporation in t~~,
