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 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 washwater. Product must not be mixed or loaded within 50 feet or intermittent streams and rivers, natural or impounded lakes and reservoirs. Product must not be applied within 66 feet of points where field 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 of other suitable crops. Product must not be mixed or loaded, or used within 50 feet of all wells, including abandoned wells, drainage wells, and sinkholes. Operations that involve mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing of this product into or from pesticide handling or application equipment or containers within 50 feet 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 washwater, and rain water that may fall on the pad. Surface water

Page 4 of 19
forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS. For Christmas trees, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 48 hours. For all other crops and use patterns, do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours. Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the WPS, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, shoes plus socks and waterproof gloves. NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the WPS for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Do not enter or allow others (including children or pets) to enter treated areas until sprays have dried. USE INFORMATION IMPORTANT: Read the entire “DIRECTIONS FOR USE” and the “WARRANTY—CONDITIONS OF SALE” before using this product. Apply this herbicide before weeds emerge or after removal of weed growth. This product controls a wide variety of annual Broadleaf and Grass weeds when used at selective rates in agricultural crops and ornamental plantings. Where a range of application rates is given, use the low rate on coarser textured soil and soil lower in organic matter; use the high rate on finer textured soil and soil higher in organic matter. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result. Since this product enters weeds mainly through their roots, moisture is needed to move it into the root zone. Very dry soil conditions and lack of rainfall following application may necessitate shallow cultivation. This product is noncorrosive to equipment, non-flammable and has low electrical conductivity. USE SITE RESTRICTION Not for use in the States of Alaska, Hawaii or in the U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam North Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S Virgin Islands). WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, this product is a Group 5 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 5 mode of action herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: xRotate the use of this product or other Group 5 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. xUse tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. xAdopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. xScout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at SIMAZINE GROUP 5 HERBICIDE
Page 5 of 19
the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields and planting clean seed. xIf a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. xContact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. xFor further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370.

Be certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and 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 gallons of spray mixture per acre. Use a pump with capacity to 1) maintain 15 to 45 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 provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10 gallons per minute per 100 gallon 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 suction side of 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 manufacturer’s 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 USE RESTRICTIONS x Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns are restricted to spot treatment only for the following uses: Berry and Small fruits (Blackberries, Blueberries, Cranberries, Grapes, Loganberries, Lowbush blueberries, Raspberries); Citrus (Grapefruit, Lemons, Oranges); Nursery Ornamentals; Pome fruits (Apples, Pears); Stone fruits (Cherries [sweet, tart], Nectarines, Peaches, Plums); Tree Nuts
Page 6 of 19
(Almonds, Filberts, Macadamia nuts, Pecans, Walnuts); Tropical and Subtropical fruits (Avocados, Olives); Sweet corn. x Applications made by mechanically pressurized handguns to Strawberries are restricted to either spot treatment only OR mixers/loaders/applicators ar e required to wear shoes, socks, coveralls worn over long sleeve shirts and long pants, and waterproof gloves. x Aerial Application - Application by air is prohibited. MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT SPRAY DRIFT GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS: x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. x User must maintain a 15 foot (4.6 m) in-field downwind buffer (in the direction in which the wind is blowing) from the edge of streams and rivers as well as the high-tide line for all estuarine/marine environments. 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 po tential 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 designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce 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 to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS Take precautions to minimize spray drift. 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 one-fourth 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) Pour product directly from bag into tank. 6) Continue filling tank until 90% full. Increase agitation, if necessary, to maintain surface action. 7) Add tank mix herbicide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended. 8) Finish filling tank. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of materials. 9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent buildup of emulsifiable concentrate residue from possible tank mix herbicides. 10) If an emulsifiable concentrate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent. 11) Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after use by flushing system with water containing a detergent. COMPATIBILITY TEST: To determine the tank mix compatibility of this product with liquid fertilizer, crop oil, spreaders or 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 same 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 the following procedure:
- Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart glass jars with tight lids.
- To one of the jars, add one-fourth teaspoon of a compatibility agent approved for this use (one-fourth teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pt./100 gal. of spray). Cap and shake until mixed. Examples of compatibility agents include Compex ®, MIX™, and Unite®.
- 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): Dry Herbicides: For each pound per acre, add 1.5 tsp. to each jar. Fluff up wettable powder products before measuring. Liquid Herbicides: For each pint per acre, add 0.5 tsp. to each jar. For a spray volume other than 25 gallons per acre, change the teaspoons added to each jar as follows: 25 gallons × number of teaspoons given above = teaspoons to desired gallons of spray volume per acre add to each jar
- After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten. Shake jars vigorously for one minute. Let the mixtures stand for 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 two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture probably 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 additions, or (b) add one-half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If still incompatible, do not use the materials mixed in the same spray tank. PERENNIAL CROP REPLANTING To avoid crop injury, observe the following precautions:
