GENERAL INFORMATION
This herbicide controls many annual broadleaf and grass weeds in com, sorghum, sugarcane,
and certain other crops specified on this label. This product may be applied before or after
weeds emerge.
Following many years of continuous use of this product and chemically related products,
biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label have been reported which cannot be
effectively controlled by this and related herbicides. Where this is known or suspected, and
weeds controlled by this product are expected to be present along with resistant biotypes, we
recommend the use of this product in combinations or in sequence with other registered
herbicides which are not triazines. If only resistant biotypes are expected to be present, use a
) registered non-triazine herbicide. Consult with your state Agricultural Extension Service for
specific recommendations.
Since this product acts mainly through root absorption, its effectiveness depends on moisture to
move it into the root zone. If weeds develop, a shallow cultivation or rotary hoeing will
generally result in better weed control.
This product is noncorrosive to equipment and metal surfaces, nonflammable, and has low
electrical conductivity.
Avoid using near adjacent desirable plants or in greenhouses, or injury may occur.
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury
may result.
6
Where the use directions give a range of rates, use the lower rate on coarse-textured soil and soil
low in organic matter; use the higher rate on fine-textured soil and soil high in organic matter.
Do not apply this product in combination with other herbicides or oils, exc."t as specifically
described on the label.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Ground Application: Use conventional ground sprayers equipped with nozzles that provide
accurate and uniform applicatiop. Be certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and are the
same size. Calibrate sprayer beibre use and recalibrate at the start of each season and when
changing carriers. Unless otherwise specified, use a minimum of 10 gals. of spray mixture/ A
for all preplant incorporated, preplant surface, preemergence, and postemergence applications
(with or without oil or surfactant) with ground equipment.
) Use a pump with capacity to:
1. Maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles.
2. Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension.
3. To provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all times. Use centrifugal pumps which provide
propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a
minimum of 10 gals./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 0" coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where
required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
) For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows:
Band width in inches
Row width in inches
x broadcast rate
per acre
= amount needed
pre acre of field
Aerial Application: Use aerial application only where broadcast applications are specified.
Apply in a minimum of 1 gal. of water for each lIb. of Atrazine 90DF applied per acre. For
postemergence treatments on com and sorghum, apply recommended rate in a minimum of 2
gals. of water per acre. Avoid applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray
mist and prolonged contact with skin.
7
Application in Water or Liquid Fertilizer: Nitrogen solution or complete liquid fertilizer may
replace all or part of the water as a carrier for preemergence, preplant incorporated, or preplant
surface ground application on com and sorghum. Check the compatibility.f this product with
liquid fertilizer and/ or nitrogen solution as shown below before use. Do not apply in nitrogen
solution or complete liquid fertilizer after com or sorghum emerges or crop injury may occur.
,
Compatibility Test: Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same ~alysis, always
check compatibility with herbicide(s) each time before use. Be especially careful when using
complete suspension or fluid feI;tilizers as serious compatibility problems are more likely to
occur. Commercial application ~quipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal./ A. For other spray volumes, make
appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure:
1. Add 1 pt. of fertilizer to each of two l-qt. jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent~proved for this
) use, such as Compex® or Unite® (1/4 tsp. in 1 pt. is equivalent to 2 pts. per 100 gals. of
spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.
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, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of
herbicide for this test follows:
Dry herbicides - For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level tsp. to each jar.
Liquid herbicides - For each pint to be applied per acre add 0.5 tsp. (2.5 mi.) to each jar.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let
the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels,
heavy oil film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility
agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates
but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
) the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A)
slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water before addition, or (B) add 1/2 of the compatibility agent
to the fertilizer and the other 1/2 to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before
addition to the mixture. If incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
Applications in Water plus Emulsifiable Oil or Oil Concentrate: Adding emulsifiable oil
(petroleum-derived, petroleum-derived oil concentrate, or single or mixed crop derived oil
concentrate) to postemergence water-based sprays in com and sorghum may improve weed
control. However, under certain conditions, the use of either type of oil may seriously injure the
crop. To minimize this possibility, observe the following directions:
Use one of the following properly emulsified:
1. A suitable oil concentrate containing at least 1 %, but not more than 20%, suitable emulsifier
or surfactant blend.
2. Petroleum derived oil containing at least 1 % suitable emulsifier.
Note: In the event of a compatibility problem when mixing oil with this product and water, a
compatibility agent such as Compex or Unite should be used. Any of the above oils
contaminated with water or other materials can cause compatibility probleI!'ls andlor crop
injury.
MIXING PROCEDURES - ALL USES
1. Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or
sprayer clogging may resultd~
2. Fill tank 114 full with clean~ater, nitrogen solution, or complete liquid 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. Pour product directly from bag into tank. _
) 6. Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation if necessary to mamtain surface
action.
7. Add emulsifiable oil, oil concentrate, or tank mix herbicide(s) after this product is
thoroughly suspended.
8. Finish filling tank.
9. Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent buildup of oil or
emulsifiable concentrate residue. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials.
10. If an oil or emulsifiable concentrate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with
strong detergent solution or solvent.
8
11. Oean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water containing a
detergent.
ROTATIONAL CROP - ALL USES
) 1. Do not rotate to any crop except com or sorghum until the following year, or injury may
occur.
2. If applied after June 10, do not rotate with crops other than com or sorgnum the next year,
or crop injury may occur.
3. In the High Plains and Intermountain areas of the West where rainfall is sparse and erratic
or where irrigation is required, use only when com or sorghum is to follow com or sorghum
or when a crop of untreated com or sorghum is to precede other rotational crops.
4. In eastern parts of the Dakotas, KS, western MN, and NE, do not rotate to soybeans if the
rate applied to com or sorghum was more than 2.2 lbs.j A or equivalent band application
rate, or soybean injury may occur.
5. Injury may occur to soybeans planted the year following application on soils having a
calcareous surface layer.
6. Do not plant sugar beets, tobacco, vegetables (including dry beans), spring-seeded small
grains, or small-seeded legumes and grasses the year following application, or injury may
occur.

Preplant Surface-Applied (Broadleaf and Grass Control): Use on medium and fine-textured
soils with minimum tillage or no tillage systems only in CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO, MT,
NO, NE, SO, WI and WY. Apply the recommended rate of Atrazine 900F shown in Table 3 up
to 45 days prior to planting. If an ur.satisfactory length of weed control results from adverse
environmental conditions following early treatment, a follow-up application of an
appropriately labeled herbicide may be used. If the follow-up treatment includes atrazine, do
) not exceed the labeled rate for com indicated in Table 1. Under dry conditions, irrigation after
application is recommended to move Atrazine 900F into the soil.
If weeds are present at time of treatment, apply in a tank mix combination with a contact
herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra or Roundup). Observe directions for use, precautions,
and restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide.
Note: To the extent possible, do not move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to
the surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished.
Preplant Incorporated (Broadleaf and Grass Control): Broadcast in spring after plowing at rate
shown in Table 3. Apply before, during, or after final seedbed preparation. If soil is tilled or
worked after application, avoid deep incorporation. For best results, apply within two weeks
prior to planting.
Preemergence or At-Planting (Broadleaf and Grass Control): Apply during or shortly after
planting, but prior to weed or crop emergence at rate shown in Table 3.
15
Postemergence (Broadleaf and Grass Control): Apply at rate shown in Table 3 before weeds
exceed 1.5 inches height and before sorghum exceeds 12 inches in height.
l TABLE 3 - BROADLEAF AND GRASS WEED CONTROL IN SORGHUM 1,2
For All Soil Applications Prior To Crop Emergence:
• On Highly Erodible Soils (i§ defined by SCS)
If conservation tillage is practiced, leaving at least 30% of the soil covered with plant
residues at planting, apply a maximum of 2.2Ibs.j A as a broadcast spray.
If the soil coverage with plant residue is less than 30% at planting, a maximum of 1.8
lbs./ A may be applied.
) • On Soils Not Highly Erodible
Apply 2.2Ibs.j A as a broadcast spray.
For Postemergence Application:
If no atrazine was applied prior to sorghum emergence, apply a maximum of 2.2Ibs.j A
broadcast. If a postemergence treatment is required following an earlier herbicide application,
the total atrazine applied may not exceed 2.5 lbs. active ingredient (2.8 lbs. of this product) per
acre per calendar year.
100 not apply preplant surface or preplant incorporated in AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, NM,
OK, SC, TN, or TX. Do not apply preemergence in NM, OK, or TX, except in northeast OK and
the TX Gulf Coast and Blacklands areas.
2Where there are state/local requirements regarding atrazine use (including lower maximum
rates and/ or greater set-backs) which are different from the label, the more
) restrictive/protective requirements must be followed. Certain states may have established rate
limitations within specific geographical areas. Consult your state lead pesticide control agency
for additional information. It is a violation of this label to deviate from state use regulations.
In case of planting failure, sorghum or com may be replanted. Do not make a second broadcast
application or injury may occur. If originally applied in a band and sorghum or com is
replanted in untreated row middles, this product may be applied in a band to the second
planting provided the maximum application rate of 2.5 lbs. aij A atrazine per calendar year is
not exceeded.
Preemergence Broadleaf Weed Control in Furrow Irrigated Bedded Sorghum (AZ and CA
only): For preemergence control of many broadleaf weeds, broadcast 0.9-1.3Ibs.j A after bed
preparation, during or after planting, but before sorghum and weeds emerge and before the
first furrow irrigation. Follow with several regular irrigations, making sure to thoroughly wet
all soil.
16
Use Precautions for Preemergence Application to Furrow Irrigated Bedded Sorghum (AZ and
CA only): To avoid possible sorghum injury, do not use on sand or loamy sand soil or on
sorghum planted in furrows. Application to sorghum growing on alkali soits or where cuts,
fills, or erosion have exposed calcareous or alkali subsoils may cause crop injury. In case of crop
failure, do not replant sorghum for 8 months following application. Com may be planted
immediately. ji'
Postemergence Broadleaf Weed Control with Emulsifiable Oil or Oil Concentrate in Water:

ponderosa pine, Scotch pine, slash pine, blue spruce and Sitka spruce): Broacjcast 2.2-4.4 lbs. in
a minimum of 5 gals. of water per acre by air or 10 gals. by ground, before weeds are 1.5 inches
tall. Apply to established trees between fall and early spring while trees are dormant. For new
transplants, apply during or soW after transplanting. For applications prior to transplanting,
allow sufficient precipitation to activate Atrazine 90DF before transplanting. In areas where
spring and summer rainfall is inadequate to activate Atrazine 9ODF, apply during fall prior to
spring transplanting.

gals. by ground, between fall and early spring while trees are dormant and before quackgrass is
more than 1.5 inches in height.
Use Precautions:
1. In areas west of the Rocky Mountains (except the Great Basin) grazing may begin 7 months
after a fall application, or 3 months after a winter or spring application.
2. To prevent illegal residues, do not graze treated areas of the Great Basin or areas east of the
Rocky Mountains.
3. Temporary injury to trees may occur following use of Atrazine 90DF on coarse textured soil.
4. To avoid crop injury, do not apply to seedbeds.
5. Also apply only once per year.
Aerial Application: In order to assure that spray will be controllable within the target area
when used according to label directions, make applications at a maximum height of 10 ft. above
vegetation, using low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi, and restrict application to
periods when wind speeds do not exceed 10 mph. To assure that spray will not adversely affect
adjacent sensitive nontarget plants, apply Atrazine 90DF by aircraft at a minimum upwind
distance of 400 ft. from sensitive plants.
