Plant seed to a ma~imum depth of 2 inches. Seeding can be dune 
immediately or it may be delayed up to 2 wecks*. To avoid re­
moving SUTAN+ A 6-E from the row (with loss of wepd control in 
the row), do not move or shape soil after treatment, such as by 
planting in deep furrows. 
* For Wild Cane - See Special Recommendations. 
CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWIUG APPLICATION ----------------------------------------
Should weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will 
generally result in better weed control. When cultivating for any 
reason, it should be shallow, i.e., no more than 1/2 the depth the 
herbicide was incorporated or injected. A sequential application 
of 2,4-0 or BANVEl*4E may be necessary to control weeds resistant 
to SUTAN+ A 6-E. 
~nder circumstances when a poor stand of corn is obtained after 
SUTAN+ A 6-E treatment (caused by flooding, disease, etc.) 
corn can be planted again withollt working the field.

RECOMMENDATIONS ---------------
For all uses, cultivation is recommended in addition to SUTAN+ A 
6-E treatment in fields with moderate to heavy infestations 
of wild cane, nutgrass, sandbur, johnsongrass seedlings, rhizome 
bermudagrass, Texas panicum or volunteer sorghum.

wild cane. On continuous corn acreage with high cane seed 
population, rotation to another crop is recommended. 
Suppression of wild cane may br improved if all the following 
practices are followed: 
1. FaIlor Spring Moldboard Plow. 
2. Before application, the soil should be well worked with a 
disc and dry enough to permit good soil mixing of the 
herbicide (incorporation). All trash should be worked into 
the soil. 
3. Delay application until soil warms to a constant 55 degrees 
or greater temperature. Plant immediately. 
4. Incorporate thoroughly. Use recommended incorporation 
equipment and procedures tound on this label. 
5. Cultivate immediately if wild cane emerges. Cultivation 
should be shallower than the depth used when incorporating 
the herbicide.

b:r-Jusr-oefore-pfanrlng-at the rate of 5-1/3 to 8 pints per 
acre. Use the higher rates of SUTAN+ A 6-E on medium (medium 
fine textured-silt loam, clay loam, etc.) soils, fine (fine 
textured-clay) soils, for rhizome johnsongrass suppression, 
rhizome bermudagrass, or for heavy infestations. Disc a second 
time at right angles to the first. Cultivate at least once, 
perferably twice. 
Johnsongrass: Using a program of plowing and discing followed by 
~UTAN+-A-b:t will give good control of seedlings and greatly 
reduce competition from plants coming from rhizomes. 
In some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals 
during fall and winter can be done. If this cannot be done, start 
with fall plowing followed by several discings in the spring before 
planting. The discing cuts rhizomes into small pieces and brings 
them to the surface, where botl, the weather and SUTAN+ A 6-E 
will kill or weaken them. 
Rhizome Bermudagrass: The rhizomes and stolons of bermudagrass 
musf-be-,uf-up-fhoroughly so that four or less nodes remain on a 
strand. For control of bermudagrass, the disc must be set to cut 
6 inches deep.

*AATREX is the registered Trademark of Ciba-Geigy Corporation 
A tank mix combination of SUTAN+ A 6-E and ATRAZINE can be 
applied and mixed into the soil before planting for weed control 
in corn. This combination will control a broader spectrum of 
weeds than will either material used alone. In addition, potential 
hazard of ATRAZINE residues affecting certain succeeding crops 
is reduced because a lower rate of ATRAZINE can be used when it 
is combined with SUTAN+ A 6-E than when it is used alone.

SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE TANK MIX DIRECTIONS 12. 
The herbicides must be incorporated into the soil immediately after 
application to prevent loss of the SUTA~+ A 6-E. Whenever possible, 
application and incorporation should be done in the same operation. 
Apply the herbicides to soil dry enough to permit good soil 
mixing. 
See Appendix I for Soil Mixing (incorporation) before Planting 
Direct;ons. 
Loss of weed control will result from any delay in incorporation 
if SUTAN+ A 6-E is applied to a moist soil surface. 
If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation of 
the herbicides when application and incorporation are done in 
separate operations, SUTAN+ A 6-E must be applied to a dry soil 
surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) and free from dew and incidental 
moisture. 
IMPORTANT: --------- Thorough mixing of SUTAN+ A 6-E in the soil is 
necessary. 
poor tilth 
The soil must be in good tilth. Improper discing or 
(large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control. 
£~~I~~_~LY~I_~~~L~~~~~_~~~~L£~IL~~ 
Apply SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L) with irrigation water 
before planting (see PLANTING), or immediately after planting 
before either corn or weeds emerge. It is important that applica­
tion be done immediately after the last tillage operation since 
poor results will occur if the weeds have germinated before 
application of the herbicide. Meter the pre-mixed SUTAN+ A 6-EI 
ATRAZINE into the irrigation water during the entire period. 
Apply in 1/2 to 1 inch of water or sufficient water to penetrate 
the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 inches. Good agitation of the 
pre-mixed SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE shuuld be maintained during the 
entire application period. See Appendix III for tank mixing 
directions for SUTAN+ A 6-E with ATRAZINE. 
USE PRECAUTIONS: ---------------
A. Apply the product only through center pivot irrigation systems 
containing anti-siphon and check vdlves which will prevent 
water source contamination and overflow of the slurry tank 
and containing interlocking controls between the metering device 
and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off. 
B. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into the 
main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing.

------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation 
water may result in decreased product performance by removing 
the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. 
D. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connec­
tions or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform 
distribution or when lines containing the product must be 
dismantled and drained. 
~~~!!l!!!!! 
00 not plant seed deeper than 2 inches. For a SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE application made before planting, seeding can be done 
immediately, or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To avoid removing 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE from the row (with loss of weed control 
in the row), do not move or shape soil after treatment, such as 
by planting in deep furrows. If it is necessary to work the 
soil following application and incorporation but before planting, 
do not work the soil deeper than the depth the herbicides were 
incorporated. 
RECOMMENDATIONS ---------------
NOTE: The SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE tank mix combination is not 
recommended on corn grown in Arizona or in the ten Southermost 
California counties. 
For all uses, CUltivation is recommended in addition to the 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE treatment in fields with moderate to 
heavy infestations of wild cane, nutgrass, sandbur, johnsongrass 
seedlings, rhizome bermudagrass, Texas panicum or volunteer 
sorghum.

lhe SUIAn+ A 6-E/BLADEX (BOW or 4L) combination can be combined 
with fluid fertilizers for applications made before planting. 
However, the physical compatibility with these fluid fertilizers 
must be determined before combining in the spray tank, and even 
though found to be compatible, constant agitation is necessary to 
keep the SUTAH+ A 6-E/BLAOEX evenly mixed with the fluid 
ferti lizer during application.

SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX CDMBINATION 20. 
For partial control (suppression) of i';l~ Cane and for control of 
the broadleaf weeds and annual grasses listed: When app ied and 
incorporated lmlllediately before planting.S1iTAtl+ A 6-E at the 
rate of 8 pi nts and 2 to 2-1/2 pounds BLI! EX 80-11 or 3 to 4 
pints BLADEX 4-L per acre will reduce com~etition from wild 
cane. On continuous corn acreage with higd cane seed population, 
rotation to another crop is recommended. 
NOTE: See preceding SUTAN+ A 6-E section for wild cane 
supplemental cultUral and tillage pri:ctices. 
For control of Johnsongrass and Bermudagrass (in addition to 
the broadleaf weeds and annual grasse5 listed): Apply and disc­
incorporate SUTAN+ A 6-E just before planting at the rate of 
5-1/3 to 8 pints plus 2 to 2-1/2 pounds of SLADE X 80W or 3 to 4 
pints SLADEX 4L per acre. Use the higher rate of SUTAN+ A 6-E 
on medium (medium fine textured-silt loam, clay loam etc.) 
soils, fine (fine-textured clay) soils, for rhizome j~hnsongrass 
suppression or for heavy infestations. Disc a second time at 
right angles to the first. Cultivate at least once, preferably 
twice. 
Johnsongrass: Using a program of plowing and discing followed by 
SUTAN+ A 6-E will give good control of seedlings and greatly 
reduce competition from plants coming from rhizomes. 
In some areas discing 2 to 3 times spaced at 4 to 6 week intervals 
during Fall and Winter can be done. If this cannot be done, start 
with fall plowing followed by several discings in the spring before 
planting. The discing cuts rhizomes into small pieces and brings 
them to the surface, where both the weather and SUTAN+ A 6-E 
will kill or weaken them. 
Rhizome Bermudagrass: The rhizomes and stolons of bermudagrass 
must be cut up thoroughly so that four or less nodes remain on a 
strand. For control of bermudagrass, the disc must be set to cut 6 
inches deep. 
For Suppression of Hemp Dogbane: For early and mid-season 
suppression, use 8 pints of SUTAN+ A 6-E and 2 to 2-1/2 
pounds BLADEX 80W or 3 to 4 pints BLADEX 4L per acre. Cultivation 
or application of a post-emergence herbicide recommended for 
hemp dogbane may aid in extending control beyond mid-season. 
NOTE: BLADEX in combination with SUTAN+ A 6-E is not 
recommended for use on coarse or medium textured soils 
containing less than l~ organic matter. Use the lower 
rate of BLADEX on coarse to medium textured soils containing 
l~ organic matter and above. Use the higher rate of 
BLADEX on fine (fine textured-clay) soils with 3~ organic 
matter and above.

SUTANt A 6-E/BLADEX COMBINATION 21. 
SUTANt A 6-E/BLADEX can be applied either as a tank mix 
combination and incorporated into the soil or apply SU1AN+ A 6-E 
preplant incorporated followed by BLADEX pre-emergence. If 
BLAOEX is surfaceapplied on top of ~ preplant application of 
SUTAN+ A 6-E, a rotary hoeing or shallow CUltivation is 
recommended if rainfall or sprinkler irrigation has not occured 
within about 10 days after the application of BLADEX. 
FALL APPLICATION: For use only in Minnesota, Northern Iowa 
(North of Interstate 80), Northeast Nebraska (North of Inter­
state 80 and East of State Highway 14), South Dakota (East of 
Missouri River), Wisconsin, and Northern Illinois (North of 
Interstate SO). Apply and incorporate S pints SUTAN+ A 6-E 
and 2-1/2 pounds BLAOEX SOW or 2 quarts BLADEX 4L per acre in 
the late Fall before the ground freezes. 
See Appendix IV for directions on use of dry bulk fertilizer applied 
in the Fall with this combination. 
NOTE: Do not use Fall application for suppression of wild cane. 
PLANT JNG 
00 not plant seed deeper than 2 inches for a SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX 
application made before planting. Seeding can be done immediately 
or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To avoid removing SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
BLADEX from the row (with loss of weed control in the row), do 
not move or shape soil after treatment, such as by planting in 
deep furrows. If it is necessary to work the soil following 
application and incorporation, but before planting, it should be 
shallow, i.e., no more than 1/2 the depth the herbicide was 
incorporated. 
CULTURAL PRACTICES FOLLOWING APPLICATION 
Should wepds develop, a shallow cultivation or 
will generally result in better weed control. 
for any reason, it should be shallow, i.e., no 
depth the herbicide was incorporated.

3-WAY TANK MIX DIRECTIONS 
A tank mix combination for SUTAN+ A ~-E, ATRAZINE (SOW or 4L) 
and BLADE X (SOW or 4L) can be applied and mixed into the soil 
before planting for weed control in corn. This combination will 
con~rol a broader spectrum of weeds than will any of these materials 
used alone. In addition, potential hazard of ATRAZINE residues 
affecting certain succeeding crops is reduced because a lower 
rate of ATRAZINE can be used when it is combined with SUTAN+ A 6-EI 
BLADEX than when it is used alone.

SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE/BLADEX TANK MIX 24. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
The SUTAN. A 6-E/ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L)/BLADEX (BOW or 4L) 
combination can be mixed with water or combined with fluid 
(solution, slurry or suspension) fertilizers and applied as a 
spray. 
TANK MIX DIRECTIONS: See Appendix III. 
Application and Incorporation Directions: 
For a tank mix application, apply the recommended dosage (see 
RECOMMENDATIONS) in 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre, (use the 
higher gallonage in arid areas) using a properly calibrated, 
low-pressure type nOlzle (flood, fan or swirl chamber), on boom­
type sprayer having good, but not excessive agitation. Check 
frequently during application to be sure the nozzles are free from 
clogging and are delivering a uniform pattern. Read directions on 
the ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L) and BLADEX (BOW or 4L) labels concerning 
nozzle and screen sizes. 
The tank mix must be incorporated into the soil immediately after 
application to prevent loss of the SUTAN+ A 6-E. Whenever 
possible, application and incorporation should be done in the 
same operation. Apply the herbicides to soil dry enough to 
permit good soil mixing. 
See Appendix I for Soil Mixing (incorporation) before Planting 
Directions. 
Loss of weed control will result from any delay in incorporation 
if SUTAN+ A 6-E is applied to a moist soil surface. 
If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation of 
the herbicides when application and incorporation are done in 
separate operations, SUTAN+ A 6-E must be applied to a dry 
soil surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) and free from dew and 
incidental moisture. 
If the dela in incor oration is more than one hour, it is recom­
mended that the hi her rates of SUTAN+ A 6-E 5-1/3 to B ints 
e used. Never de a incor oratlon more 
ours. 
IMPORTANT: Thorough mixing of SUTAN+ A 6-E in the soil is 
necessary. The soil must be in good tilth. Improper discing or 
poor tilth (large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control. 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L)/BLADEX (BOW or 4L) FLUID 
FERTILIZER TANK MIX 
The SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE {BOW or 4L)/BLADEX (BOW or 4L) 
3-way combination can be combined with fluid fertilizers for 
applications made before planting. However, the physical com-
patibility with these fertilizers must be determined before . 
combining in the spray tank, and even though found to be compatlble, 
constant agitation is necessary to keep the SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE/BLADEX evenly mixed with the fluid fertilizer during 
application.

fluid fertilizers. 
IMPREGNATION ON DRY BULK FERTILIZERS 
Dry bulk fertilizers (except single superphosphate, treble 
superphosphate and nitrate fertilizers) may be impregnated or 
coated with SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (SOW or 4L)/BLADEX (SOW 
or 4L). However, uniform distribution of SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE (SOW or 4L)/BLADEX (SOW or 4L) on fertilizer particles 
and uniform application are necessary to assure good results. 
See Appendix IV for information and directions for impregnation 
and use of these combinations. 
PLANTING 
Do not plant seed deeper than 2 incnes for a SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
ATRAZINE/BLADEX application made before planting. Seeding can 
be done immediately or it may be delayed up to 2 weeks. To 
avoid removing SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE/BLADEX from the row 
(with loss of weed control in the row), do not move or shape 
soils after treatment, such as by planting in deep furrows. If 
it is necessary to work the soil following application and 
incorporation, but before planting, it should be shallow, i.e., 
no more than 1/2 the depth the herbicide was incorporated.

SUTAN+ A 6-E INCORPORATIOU DIRECTIONS 28. 
APPENDIX I 
SOIL MIXING (INCORPORATION) BEFORE PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
The following equipment commonly is used for soil mixing 
(incorporation) before planting. 
Power-Driven Cultivation Equipment (recommended on all soil 
types previousr;y-primary tilled): All PTO driven cultivation 
tools must be adjusted so as to have a tillage action speed 
(originating from internal gears and/or tractor gear) synchronized 
to the tractor's forward speed so that thorough soil mixing is 
obtained. 
a. Horizontal action: set to cut 4 to 6 inches 
deep. 
b. Vertical action: set to cut 3 to 4 inches 
dep.p. 
Tandem discs (recomlnended on all soil types): 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 beyond the ends 
of the discs. For more thorough mixing (for control of deep­
germinating grasses - wild cane, seedling johnsongrass and nut­
sedge), disc in two different directions. When discing the 
second time, the disc should be reset to cut no deeper than 4 to 
6 inches. 
Field cultivator (recommended on lighter soils in good tilth): 
Use 3 to 4 rows of sweeps spaced at 7 inch or less intervals and 
staggered so that no soil is left unturned, followed by a spiked­
tooth harrow pulled behind the cultivator. Do not use chisel plows 
for incorpor'ation. Set the cultivator to cut 4 to 6 inches deep, 
operated at 5 mph or more. The field cultivator should not be 
used alone as an incorporation tool where control of deep-germinating 
weeds such as nutgrass, johnsongrass seedlings or wild cane is 
desired. For control of these weeds, use a disc for at least one 
of the passes over the field.

Procedure For Testing The Compatibility Of SUTAN+ A 6-E 
With Fluid Fertilizer 
APPENDIX II 
PROCEDURE FOR TESTING THE COMPATIBILITY OF SUTAN+ A 6-E or 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L) or SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX 
(80W or 4L) or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (80W or 4L)/BLADEX 
(80W or 4L) with fluid fertilizers. 
The following procedure is suggested for determining whether the 
above herbicide combinations may be combined with a specific 
fluid fertilizer for spray tank application. 
MATERIALS REQUIRED: 
1. A. SUTAN+ A 6-E 
B. or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (SOW or 4L) combination 
C. or SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX (SOW or 4L) combination. 
O. or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE (80W or 4L)/BLAOEX (80W or 4L) 
combination. 
2. Fluid fertilizer to be used. 
3. Tank mix adjuvants for fluid fertilizer combinations: 
Compex*, Sponto 168-0*, Unite* or equivalent. The 
adjuvant which provides the best compatibility depends on 
the specific fertilizer involved. 
29. 
*Compex, Kalo Laboratories Inc., Kansas City, Missouri; Sponto 
168-0, Witco Chemical Company, Houston, Texas; Unite, Hopkins 
Agricultural Chemical Company, Madison, Wisconsin. 
4. Two one-quart, wide-mouth glass jars with lids. 
5. Measuring spoons; a graduated pipette or cylinder will provide 
more accurate measurement; 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, 
I teaspoon equals approximately 5 milliliters. 
6. I~easuri ng cup, 8 oz. (237ml). 
PROCEDURE: (See Note I ) : 
I . Pour a pint (473 m I ) of the fluid fertilizer into each of 
the quart jars. 
2. Add adjuvant to one of the jars and mix (see next rate table). 
3. 
4. 
Add the SUTAN+ A 6-E or the desired combination of 
herbicides to both jars (see next four rate tables). The 
order of addition should be: wettable powders first with

Procedure For Testing The Compatibility Of SUTAN+ A 6-E 
With Fluid Fertilizers -" Continued 
5. Inspect the surface and body of the mixtures -
(A) Immediately after completing the jar inversions. 
(B) After allowing the jars to stand quietly for 30 minutes. 
(C) And then again after turning the jars upside down 10 
time s. 
30. 
If a uniform mix cannot be made, the mixture should not be used. 
If either mixture remains uniform for 30 minutes, the combination 
may be used. Should either mixture separate after 30 minutes, 
but readily remix uniformly with ten jar inversions, the mixture 
can be used if adequate agitation is maintained in the tank. If 
the mixture with adjuvant is satisfactory, but the one without 
adjuvant is not, be sure to use the adjuvant in the spray tank. 
Add the adjuvant first at a rate of 3 pints per 100 gallons of 
fluid fertilizer; foaming can be minimized by using moderate 
agitation. 
If nondispersible oil, sludge or clumps of solids form in the 
mixtures, the combination should not be used. 
NOTE 1: For some combinations, premixing wettable pow1ers in a 
little water in a pail before adding them to the spray 
tank will improve the compatibility of the final mixtures 
with SUTAN+ A 6-E. This technique can be tested in 
the small-scale jar test by premixing the wettable 
powder in one-eighth (1/8) cup of water prior to addition 
to the pint of fluid fertilizer.

APPENDI X II I 
Tank Mix Directions 
Proper care must be used in preparing combination tank mixtures 
to avoid incompatiblity problems. Small-scale tests should be 
made to establish that the mixtures are compatible (refer to 
Appendix II for general test procedures). 
1) Fill the spray tank at least 2/3 full of the appropriate carrier. 
Be sure the tank is clean and not contaminated with 2,4-D, oil 
residue or other materials. 
2) Start agitation and continue moderate agitation throughout 
mixing and application. 
3) Add, mix and disperse wettable powders first, flowable products 
next and SUTAN+ A 6-E last. For some combinations, premixing 
wettable powders in a little water in a pail before adding 
them to the spray tank will improve the compatibility of the 
final mixtures with SUTAN+ A 6-E.

SUTAN+ A 6-E/ TANK MIX DIRECTIONS - Continued 33. 
4) Add the ATRAlINE and BLADEX products individually to the spray 
tank in proper order (step 3); make sure each product is 
thoroughly wetted and dispersed prior to addition of the next 
product. In particular, AATREX NINE-O should be thoroughly 
mixed and dispersed prior to SUTA~+ A 6-£ addition. 
5) Add the SUlAN+ A 6-E to the tank at least 2/3 full of 
carrier and mix; if AlRAZINE or SLADEK are being used in the 
tank mix, they should be thoroughly mixed in the carrier 
prior to adding SUTAN+ A 6-l. 
6) Complete filling the tank with the carrier; mix thoroughly, 
and maintain moderate agitation to provide a uniform mix 
during application. 
7) The tank-mix combination should not be left in the spray 
tank for prolonged periods; batches should be mixed and 
applied the same day. 
Do not use excessive agitation because it may cause the AlRAliNE 
or BLADEX to settle out and set up in the spray tank. All return 
lines to the tank must discharge below liquid level.

CAUTION: SUTAN+ A 6-E alone or in combination with other 
herbicides must not be impregnated on ammonium 
nitrate, potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate 
fertilizers. Such mixtures may cause explosion 
and fire. 
All individual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer 
blending, registration, labeling and application are the respon­
sibility of the individual and/or company selling the SUTAN+ A 6-E. 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAlINE, SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ 
ATRAliNE/BlADEX fertilizer mixtures. 
SUTAN+ A 6-E alone and in combination with ATRAZINE and/or 
BLADEX may be impregnated on many dry bulk fertilizers (1) (2) 
and applied and incorporated into the soil either in the Fall 
before the ground freezes or before planting for the control of 
certain grassy weeds by SUTAN+ A 6-E and many grassy and 
broadleaf weeds by the SUlAN+ A 6-E/ATRAlINE, SUTAN+ A 6-E/

However, uniforCl il:lpreynation of th"! pestiCides on the dry fertilizer 
particles and unifurm dpplication in the field are necessary to 
assure good results. 
A minimum of 200 po~nds and a maximum of 700 pounds of approved 
fertilizer ingredients (1) (2) impregnated with the appropriate 
amount of SUTAN+ A 6-E alone or in combination with ATRAZINE 
(BOW or 4L) and/or BLADEX (SOli or 4L) must be applied per acre. 
For impregnating the pesticides on dry fertilizers, use a closed 
rotary-drum type mixer equipped with suitable spraying equipment. 
The spray nozzles should be positioned inside of the mixer to 
provide uniform spray coverage of the tumbling fertilizer. The 
SUTAN+ A 6-E should be sprayed uniformly onto the fertilizer 
using a fine spray pattern. For the SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE, 
SUTAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE/BLADEX combination 
product, the ATRAZINE (BOW or 4L) and/or BLADEX (BOW or 4L) can 
be added and mixed uniformly with the fertilizer prior to the 
SUTAN+ A 6-E addition, or alternatively. the SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE 
(BOH or 4L), S'ITAN+ A 6-E/BLADEX (BOW or 4L) or SUTAN+ A 6-E/ATRAZINE 
(BOW or 4L)/BLAOEX (BOW or 4L) can be mixed in the proper use 
ratio to prepare a uniform slurry for joint spray impregnation. 
The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particulary in 
liquid absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient, 
simple spray impregnation of the fertilizer with SUTAN+ A 6-[ 
provides a satisfactory dry mixture. 
If the absorptivity is not adequate, use of a highly absorptive 
powder is required to provide a dry, free-flowing mixture. 
, 
Hicrocel E (Johns-Hansville Products Corporation) is the recommended " 
absorbent powder. It should be added separately and uniformly 
to the prepared pesticide-fertilizer mixture, in a quantity that 
is sufficient to provide a suitably free-flowing mixture. Generally, I 
less than 2S by weighl of Hicrocel E is required. !

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS ------------------------
Read all label directions before using. 
Applied according to directions and under normal growing conditions, 
SUTAN+ A 6-£ will not ~arm the treated crop. During germination

and early stages of growth, extended periods of unusua!ly cold 
and wet or hot and dry weather, insect or plant disease attack, 
carryover pesticide residues, the use of certain soil-applied 
systelnic insecticides, improperly placed fertilizers or soil 
insecticides may create abnormal conditiors that weaken crop 
seedlings. SUTAN+ A 6-E used under these abnormal conditions 
could result in crop injury. 
When applied according to directions and when conditions exist 
for norlnal plant growth through the season, no harmful residues 
of SUTAN+ A 6-E should remain beyond harvest. In the Southeastern 
U.S., when SUTAN+ A 6-[ is used for weed control in silage corn, 
do not seed small seeded grains after corn harvest until September. 
Do not use on milo or sorghum. Do not use on corn seed stock 
(Breeders, Foundation, or Increase). 
SUTAN+ A 6-E is recomlnended for use on mineral soils only (soils 
containing less thar 10% organic matter). 
Do not contaminate irrigation water (used for crops other than 
corn) or water used for domestic purposes. 
Do not contaminate food or feed. 
Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store near seeds, 
fertilizers, or foodstuffs. 
Do not use in Arizona at elevations below 2,500 feet or in 
the ten Southernmost California counties (except Kern County 
where field and silage corn may be treated). 
In irrigated areas, do not apply SUTANt A 6-E before pre-irrigation. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF SUTAN+ A 6-E ----------------------------------
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner 
inconsistent with its labeling. 
SUTAN+ A 6-E is a selective herbicide which is mixed (incorporated) 
or injected into the soil for control of weeds listed on this 
label. SUTAN+ A 6-E controls annual grasses as their seeds 
germinate by interfering with normal germination and seedling 
development. It does not control established weeds. 
£~~~i~~~i~~_~i~~_~L~i~_~~c~ili~~c~ 
SUTAN+ A 6-E may be combined with fluid (solution, slurry, or 
suspension) fertilizers. ~~~e~~~~_~~t~i~al-c~m~~~i~iLi~t~~i~~­

cOlnbinations. Even though found to be compatible, constant 
agitation is necessary to keep the SUTAN+ A 6-E evenly mixed 
with the fluid fertilizer during application.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
l~e~~a~~~i~~_~~_~~t_~~~~_~~~ti~i~~~~_ 
Dry bulk fertilizers (except nitrate fertilizers) may be impregnated 
or coated with SUTAH+ A 6-E. However, uniform djstributi~n of 
SUTAN+ A 6-E on fertilizer particles and uniform applica~ion are 
necessary to assure good results. See Appendix IV for information 
and directions regarding impregnation and use for the~e combinations.

Pour the recommended amount of SUTA~+ A 6-E into the spray tank 
during the filling operations. Apply in 10 to 50 gallons of water 
per acre using a properly calibrated, low-pressure type nozzle 
(flood, fan or swirl chamber) on boom type sprayer having good 
agitation (use the higher gallonage in arid areas). The soil 
should be dry enough to perlnit good soil mixing (incorporation). 
INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS -------------------------
See Appendix I for soil mixing (incorporation) before planting 
directions. 
SUTAN+ A 6-E must be incorporated into the soil immediately to 
prevent loss of the herbicide. Whenever possible, application and 
incorporation should be done in the same operation. 
Lo;s of weed control will result from any delay in incorporation 
if SUTAN+ A 6-E is applied to a moist soil surface. 
If there must be a delay (less than four hours) in incorporation of 
the herbicide when application and incorporation are done in 
separate operations, SUTAN+ A 6-E must be applied to a dry soil 
surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) and free from dew and incidental 
moisture. 
IMPORTANT: Thorough mIxIng of SUJAN+ A 6-E in the soil is necessary. 
The-sofr-must be in good tilth. Improper discing or poor tilth 
(large clods) may result in unsatisfactory control.

SUTAN+ A 6-E 6. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
£~~~~~_~i~~t_~~~i~~l~~_~~~li~~ti~~ 
Apply SUTAN+ A 6-E with irrigation water before planting (see 
PLANTING), or immediately after planting before either corn or 
weeds emerge. It is important that application be done immediately 
after the last tillage operation since poor results will occur if 
the weeds have gerlninated before application of the herbicide. 
Meter the SUTA"+ A 6-E into the irrigation water during the 
entire period. 
Apply in 1/2 to 1 inch of water or sufficient water to penetrate 
the soil to a depth of 5 to 7 inches. If diluted, SUTAN+ A 6-E 
should be mixed at a volume ratio of no more than 1 part SUTAN+ A 
6-E to 4 parts of water or fluid fertilizer. Good agitation should 
be maintained during the entire application period. 
USE PRECAUTIONS ---------------
A. Apply the product only through center pivot irrigation systems 
containing anti-siphon and check valves which will prevent 
water source contamination and overflow of the slurry tank and 
containing interlocking controls between the metering device 
and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off. 
B. Inject the product with a positive displacement pump into the 
main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. 
C. Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation 
water may result in decreased product performance by removing 
the chemical from the zone of effectiveness. 
o. 00 not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections 
or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution 
or when lines containing the product must be dismantled and 
drained. 
Special equipment designed for subsurface application Inust be used. 
Injector units ~Iust be rigidly mounted on, i~~~~!.~t!:.ll-afiead of, or 
i~~!:.~i~t~lt behlnd the planter unit. 
Soil Injectioll: Coulters and injector shanks must be spaced 3-1/2 
r~~~ii-a~a~£;- The two shanks adjacent to the drill row must be 1-
3/4 to 2 inches on either side of it. Mount injectors in staggered 
positions to avoid trash buildup. Set injectors to inject SUTAN+ A 
6-E 3 inches below the soil surface. The width of the band 
in which weed control is desired will determine the number of inj@ctors 
required per row. (Example: Four injectors spaced 3-1/2 inches 
apart give a 14 inch band). A broadcast applic~tion can be made 
by increasing the number of shanks. Seal inject openings by using 
a roller or chain drag behind the injectors. A~ y the recommended
