APPENDIX I 
[PTAM PLUS 6-E WITH FLUID FERTILIZERS 
The following procedure is suggested for determining whether 
EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be combined with a specific fluid fertili_er 
for spray tank application. 
Material Required: 
1. EPTAM PLUS 6-E. 
2. Fluid fertilizer to be used. 
3. Adjuvant for fertilizer tank mix: Compex*, Sponto 168-0*, 
Unite* or equivalent. The a~juvant which provides 
the best emulsification depends on the specific fertilizer 
under consideration. 
4. Two one-quart, wide-mouth glass jars with lid or stopper. 
S. Measuring spoons (a 2S mL pipette or graduated cylinder 
provides more accurate measurement). 
6. Measuring cup, 8 oz. (237 mL). 
*Compex, Kalo Laboratories Inc, Kansas City, Kansas 
Sponto 168-0, Witco Chemical Company, Houston, Texas 
Unite. Hopkins Agricultural Chemical Co •• Madison. Wisconsin 
Procedure: 
1. Pour a pint (about 473 mL) 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. Add the EPTAM PLUS 6-E to both jars (see next rate table). 
4. Close both jars with lid or stopper and mix the contents by 
turning the jars upside down ten times. 
5. Inspect the surface and body of the mixtures -
(A) Immediately after completing the jar inversion~. 
(B) After allowing the jars to stand quietly for 30 mi~utes. 
(C) And then again after turning the jars upside down 10 
times.

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 useQ. 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 
agitat i on. 
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 powders in a 
little water in a pail before adding them to the spray 
tank will improve the compatibility of the final mixtures 
with EPTAM PLUS 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.

APPENDIX! I 
EPTAM PLUS 6-E IMPREGNATION ON ORY BULK FERTILIZERS 
CAUTION: EPTAM PLUS 6-E alone or in combination with other 
herbicides must not be impregnated on ammonium nitrate, sodium 
nitrate or putassium nitrate. Such mixtures may cause explosion 
and fire. 
All individual state regulations relating to bulk dry fertilizer 
blending, registration, labeling and application are the responsi­
bility of the individual and/or company selling the fertilizer and 
EPTAM PLUS 6-E mixture. 
EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be impregnated on many dry bulk fertilizers 
(1) and applied and incorporated in the soil before planting for 
the control of grass and broadleaf weeds. 
All EPTAM PLUS 6-E supplementary literature instructions and label 
recommendations regarding rates per acre, soil incorporation, 
application, cautions, general use precautions and other direc­
tions must be followed. 
Test results have shown that EPTAM PLUS 6-E on bulk dry 
fertilizers gives weed control equal to EPTAM PLUS 6-E applied 
as a spray in water or liquid fertilizer. However, uniform 
impregnation of EPTAM PLUS 6-E on dry fertilizer particles and 
uniform application in the field are necessary to assure good 
results. 
A minimum of 200 pound~ ~nd a maximum of 700 pounds of approved 
fertilizer ingredients\lJ impregn~ted with EPTAM PLUS 6-E 
at the recommended rate must be applied per acre. 
For impregnating EPTAM PLUS 6-E on dry fertilizers, use a closed 
rotary-drum mixer or a similar type of closed blender equipped 
with suitable spray equipment. The spray nozzle (or nozzles) 
should be positioned inside of the mixer to provide uniform spray 
coverage of the tumbling fertilizer. The EPTAM PLUS 6-E should 
be sprayed uniformly onto the fertilizer using a fine spray pattern. 
The physical properties of fertilizers vary, particularly in liquid 
absorptive capacity. When absorptivity is sufficient, ~jnlple 
spray impregnation of the fertilizer with EPTAM PLUS 6-[ provides 
a satisfactory, dry mixture. 
If the absorptive capacity is not adequate, use of a highly absr~,tive 
powder is required to provide a dry, free-flowing mixture. 
Hicrocel E (Johns-Manville Products Corp.) is the recommerded 
absorbent powder. It should be added separately and uniformly to 
the prepared EPTAM PLUS 6-E fertilizer mixture, in a qua~t:ty 
that is sufficient to provide a suitably free-flowing ml~t~re. 
Generally less than 21 by weight of Microcel E is requile'.

The amount of £PTAM PLUS 6-E actually required in the manufacture 
of individual fertilizer mixtyr~s should be determined carefully 
for each production operation(2). This is necessary to ensure 
that the amount of EPTAM PLUS 6-£ actually contained in the 
mixture applied to the soil represents the correct rate of use. 
Bulk fertilizer impregnated with EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be applied 
immediatel~. NOT STOREO. All bulk containers should be tightly 
covered whIle the product is being transported and applied to 
reduce chances of EPTAM PLUS 6-E loss via volatilizati01.

Perennial weeds must be turned under and chopped up thoroughly 
prior to treatment. The underground rhizomes of quackgrass and 
the rhizomes and stolons of bermudagrass must be cut up thoroughly 
so that four or less nodes remain on a strand. For the suppression 
or control of quackgrass and ber~udagrass the disc must be set 
to cut 6 inches deep. Use 5-1/3 to 8 pints EPTAM PLUS 6-E per 
acre for quackgrass and 4-8 pints per acre for bermudagrass. 
The EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be incorporated by discing or applied 
in the irrigation water after the rhizomes and stolons have been 
cut up. Consult recommendations for crops on which these higher 
rates may be used. Nutsedge may not be controlled by water-run 
applications in heavier soils.

IM~REGNATION ON nRY FERTILIZER: 
- --
[PTAM PLUS 6-E may be impregnated on dry fertilizer for use, 
on registered crops. Ilowever. uniform distribution of the EPTAM 
PLUS 6-E on fertilizer particles and uniform application are 
necessary to assure good results. See AI'pendix II for information 
and directions on impregnation and uSe of these combinations. 
INCORPORATION DIRECTIONS: .------ --
EPTAM PLUS 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.

soil is left unturned, followed by a spiked-tooth harrow 
pulled behind the cUltivator. Do not use chisels plows to 
incorporate. Set the cultivator to cut 4 inches deep, operated 
at 5 mph or Inore. Run the equipment over the field twice, 
the second run at an angle to the first. 
Rotar Ground Driven or S ring-Tooth Cultivators (recommended 
on coarse texture SOl S ln good ti t on y). Set to penetrate 
to a depth of 4 to 6 inches and operated at 5 to 8 mph in two 
di fferent di rections. 
INCORPORATION AT OR AFTER PLANTING: Use power driven CUltivation 
equipment set to cut to a depth of 2 to 3 inches OR on coarse 
textured 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 B mph. When incorporating after 
planting, care must be taken not to disturb the crop seed or 
seedling. 
SUBSURFACE APPLICATION -
AT PLANTING OR POST EMERGENCE 
Apply EPTAM PLUS 6-E in 10 or more gallons of water per acre. 
Special equipment designed for subsurface application MUST be 
used. Injector and sweep units must be rigidly mounted on the 
planter or cultivation unit. When using sweeps at planting they 
must be mounted ahead of the planters. 
SOIL INJECTION - Injector shanks must be spaced 2-1/2 to 3 Inches 
apart and mounted In staggered positions to avoid trash buildup. 
Set shanks to inject EPTAM PLUS 6-E 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 application 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 DISTANCE 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 SIDE OF THE DRILL ROW. 
COVERED SWEEPS - Set the sweeps to run below the soil surf~~p 
deep enough to cover the EPTAM PLUS 6-E 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 applications 
stagger sweeps on double tool bar so they overlap sufficiently 
to allow spray bands to meet. 
NOTE: When applylnQ with either injectors or sweeps, EPThIi 
PLUS 6-E must be applied deep enough to allow 2 to 3 inche~ 
of soil to remain over the treatment after the planting o?pr~tions.

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 APPLICATIO~ -
POST-PLANTING AND ESTABLISHED CROPS 
Meter EPTAM PLUS 6-E into the irrigation water using a 
metering device that will introduce a constant flow into the 
water. For flood, furrow, or sprinkler irrigation meter the 
EPTAM PLUS 6-E into the water during the entire period OR, for 
sprinkler irrigation, the EPTAM PLUS 6-E may be metered into 
sufficient water to penetrate to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. 
Time this EPTAM PLUS 6-E application to insure that proper 
penetration of the herbicide corresponds with the end of the 
irrigation period. Flush the lines and then turn the water off 
promptly. Consult "RECOMMENDATIONS· on this label for proper 
timing of application for each crop for which irrigation application 
is recommended. 
Tailwater (runoff water) from flood or furrow irrigation should 
be recirculated or used only on other crops which are regis­
tered for this type of application. 
CULTURAL PRACTICES 
FOLLOWING 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. Pre-emergence 
or post-emergence herbicides may be necessary to control weeds 
resistant to EPTAM PLUS 6-E.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE - ORNAMENTAL SECTION 
Soil Preparatio~: The soil to be treated should be loose and 
free of clods. All weed growth should be removed or thoroughly 
worked into the soil before application. 
Application: The recommended rate of EPTAM PLUS 6-E should be 
applied as uniformly as possible. Apply to well-worked soil 
that is dry enough to permit thorough mixing with incorporation 
equipment. When treating around established plants, direct 
spray to soil surface for maximllm coverage; use one of ~~r following 
appropriate means of application: 
Low Pressure Herbicide Sprayer: For broadcast appliratio~ 
use 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre. For band application 
(in front of power tiller), use less water depending upon 
row spacing and width of band desired. Check pressure and 
nozzles frequently to assure uniform application. 
Hose Proportioner: Make sure pro; -tioner is workins pro~e~ly.
