NON-TARGET ORGANISMS ADVISORY
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage
and habitat of non-target organisms, including pollinators, in areas
adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of nontarget
organisms by following label directions intended to minimize spray
drift.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Observe all use precautions and limitations on the labels of each
product used in tank-mixtures. Tank-mixtures are permitted only in
those states where the tank-mix partner is registered.
Me-Too-Lachlor IV is a herbicide recommended as a pre-plant
surface-applied, pre-plant incorporated, or pre-emergence treatment
in water or fluid fertilizer for control of most annual grasses and certain
broadleaf weeds in Field corn and Popcorn.
Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. Do not
apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil
containing this product to non-target areas. To prevent off-site
movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
1) Avoid treating powdery dry or light sand soils when conditions are
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface
should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
2) Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly
compacted surfaces.
3) Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of
treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least one-half inch
of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
Where directions on this label specify, this product in tank-mixture
with Atrazine formulations may be used. Follow the rates,
recommendations, and limitations on the Atrazine product label.
Note: Certain states may have established rate limitations for
Atrazine 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.
If this product is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting
must not exceed the depth of incorporation.
Dry weather following pre-emergence application of this product or a
tank-mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control
can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent
control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for
commercial weed control.
Use Precautions: Injury may occur following the use of this product
under abnormally high soil moisture conditions during early
development of the crop. Do not use on Peat or Muck soils. Do not
graze or feed forage from treated areas for 30 days following
application.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
This Product Alone: Mix this product with water or fluid fertilizer and apply as
a spray. Fill the spray tank one-half to three-quarters full with water or fluid
fertilizer, add the proper amount of this product, then add the rest of the water
or fluid fertilizer. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to
maintain a uniform emulsion. Tank-Mixtures: Fill the spray tank one-fourth full
with water, and start agitation; add 2,4-D, Atrazine, Banvel ®, Linuron,
Marksman®, Prowl®, Simazine or Atrazine + Simazine, and allow it to become
dispersed; then add this product, then add Gramoxone ® Extra, Landmaster®
BW, or Glyphosate if these products are being used; and finally the rest of the
water. For tank-mixtures with Atrazine, Banvel, Linuron, Marksman, Prowl*,
Simazine or Atrazine + Simazine, fluid fertilizers may replace all or part of the
water as carrier, except in the Atrazine post-emergence and the Banvel post-
emergence tank-mixes. For tank-mixtures with Atrazine, see additional mixing
instructions on the Atrazine label. For each mixture, check compatibility with fluid
fertilizer, as described in Appendix A, before mixing in spray tank. For all tank-
mixtures, agitate during mixing and application to maintain a uniform
suspension.
*See Special Mixing Instructions for tank-mixtures with Atrazine or Simazine
+ Prowl under the appropriate tank-mixture section. For directions on how to
conduct a compatibility test, see Appendix A.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
For resistance management, this product is a Group 15 mode of
action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
naturally resistant to this product and other Group 15 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.
ME-TOO-LACHLOR IV PAGE 2 of 9
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 15 mode of action
herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds
in a field.
• Use 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. • Adopt 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
(weedcompetitive crops or varieties) and other management
practices. • Scout 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 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.
• If 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.
• Contact 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.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact
Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370.

pre-plant incorporated herbicides when used according to their label
recommendations, provided that such use is not prohibited on the
respective labels.
Thoroughly clean sprayer or other application device before using.
Dispose of cleaning solution in a responsible manner. Do not use a
sprayer or applicator contaminated with any other materials, or crop
damage or clogging of the application device may result.
2) APPLICATION PROCEDURES Application Timing
This product alone or in some tank-mixtures with other labeled
herbicides may be applied for weed control in Field corn and Popcorn
at various times. Refer to the given crop section of the label to
determine if application timings listed below are recommended.
A) Pre-plant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage
systems only, this product alone and some tank-mixtures of this
product may be applied up to 45 days before planting. Use only
split applications for treatments made 30 to 45 days before
planting, with two-thirds the recommended broadcast rate for the
crop and soil texture applied initially and the remaining one-third
at planting. Treatments less than 30 days before planting may be
made either as a split or a single application. If weeds are present
at the time of treatment, apply in a tank-mixture combination with
a contact herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra or
Glyphosate). Observe directions for use, use precautions, and
restrictions on the label of the contact herbicide. 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.
B) Pre-plant Incorporated: Apply this product to the soil and
incorporate into the top 2 inches of soil within 14 days before
planting, using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar
implement capable of providing uniform 2 inch incorporation. Use
a pre-plant incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or
when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If Field
corn and Popcorn will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate
this product after bed formation, unless specified otherwise.
C) Pre-emergence: Apply this product during planting (behind the
planter) or after planting, but before weeds or Field corn and
Popcorn emerge.
3) Special Application Procedures
A) CA Only (Field corn and Popcorn)—Pre-plant Incorporated:
Broadcast this product alone or with tank-mix partners listed on
this label to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or
similar implement set to till 4 to 6 inches deep. For more thorough
incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions (cross-till). Field
corn and Popcorn may be planted on flat surface or on beds.
Caution should be used when forming the beds that only soil from
this products treated zone is used (i.e., untreated soil should not
be brought to soil surface). If the application is made to preformed
beds, incorporate this product with a tillage implement set to till 2
to 4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the
tilled (this product treated) soil on the beds.
B) Pre-emergence: Apply this product after planting. Water with
sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7 to 10 days.
C) Fall Application (Only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and portions of
NE and IL - see specific instructions for timing of application
and other information): Do not apply to frozen ground. Use on
Medium and Fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that
will be planted to Field corn or Popcorn the next Spring. Ground
may be tilled before or after application. Do not exceed a 2 to 3
inch incorporation depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a Spring
application is made, the total rate of the Fall plus Spring
applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for the
specific crop, or illegal residues may result.
D) Ground Application: Apply this product alone or in tankmixtures
by ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture
per acre, unless otherwise specified.
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For
tank-mixtures of this product with wettable powder or dry flowable
formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50
mesh. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after
use.

*See “GENERAL INFORMATION”section. Control of these weeds
can be erratic, due partially to variable weather conditions.
Control may be improved by following these suggested
procedures:
A) Use 2 to 2.67 pints per acre or the pre-plant surface-applied rates
for this product alone or in tank-mixture, if allowed, when making
pre-plant incorporated or preemergence applications.
B) Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged
weeds. If this product is to be applied pre-plant incorporated, this
tillage may be used to incorporate this product if uniform 2 inch
incorporation is achieved as recommended under “APPLICATION
PROCEDURES”.
C) Plant Field corn and Popcorn into moist soil immediately after
tillage. If this product is to be used pre-emergence, apply at
planting or immediately after planting.
D) If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply
one-half to 1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (one-half inch)
on Coarse-textured soils and higher volume (1 inch) on Fine-
textured soils . Also, refer to the section on “ CENTER PIVOT
IRRIGATION APPLICATION” for this method of applying this
product.
E) If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days
after planting and application, weed control may be decreased.
Under these conditions, a uniform, shallow cultivation is
recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
**For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre
and apply pre-emergence.
***For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre

but do not exceed an incorporation depth greater than 2 to 3
inches. Minimize furrow and ridge formation in the tillage
operations. Note: If a Spring application is made, the total rate of
the Fall plus Spring applications must not exceed the maximum
total rate for Corn, or illegal residues may result.
B) Use on Medium and Fine-textured soils with minimum-tillage or
no-tillage systems in CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MN, MO, MT, ND,
NE, SD, TN, WI, and WY. Apply two-thirds of the recommended
UDWHRIWKLVSURGXFW SWV௘$RQMedium soils DQGSWV௘A on
Fine soils) as a split treatment 30 to 45 days before planting and
the remainder at planting. Applications made less than 30 days
prior to planting may be as either a split or single treatment. Apply
1.33 pints per acre on Coarse soils not more than 2 weeks prior
to planting.
C) On Medium and Fine-textured soils with minimum- or notillage
systems in CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, MI, NH, NY, OH, PA, RI, VA,
VT, and WV, pre-plant surface applications may be applied
following the directions for use above. If the amount of rainfall
results in unsatisfactory length of weed control following the
earlier treatment, a post-emergence application of an

Bicep®, Bromoxynil (Brominal® or Buctril®), Exceed®, or 2,4-D. If
the post-emergence treatment includes the herbicide used pre-
plant surface-applied, do not exceed the total labeled rate for
Field corn and Popcorn on a given soil texture. Observe all
directions for use, use precautions, and limitations on the label of
the post-emergent herbicide.
2) PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED OR PRE-EMERGENCE
Follow instructions for use of this product alone under
“APPLICATION
PROCEDURES”. On Coarse soils, apply 1 to 1.33 pints per acre of
this product if organic matter content is less than 3%, or 1.33 pints
per acre if organic matter content is 3% or greater. On Medium soils,
apply 1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product. On Fine soils, apply
1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product if organic matter content is
less than 3%, or 1.67 to 2 pints per acre if organic matter content is
3% or greater. Lay-by: To extend the duration of weed control in Field
corn and Popcorn, a maximum rate of 2 pints per acre of this product
may be applied after Corn emergence until the Corn plants reach 40
inches in height, following any pre-plant surface-applied, pre-plant
incorporated, or pre-emergence herbicide application, including this
product. For best results, applications should be made to soil free of
emerged weeds and directed towards the base of Corn plants in
excess of 5 inches tall. The total rate of this product applied on Field
corn and Popcorn during any one crop year should not exceed 4 pints
per acre, depending on soil texture.

Partial Control: For more consistent partial control of Shattercane,
Wild proso millet, Woolly cupgrass, or Eclipta, apply 2 to 2.55 pints
per acre as a single application; or apply 1 to 1.33 pints per acre of
this product pre-plant incorporated followed by 1 to 1.33 pints per
acre of this product pre-emergence; however, do not apply more than
a total of 2.55 pints per acre. Make the pre-emergence application
during or after planting, but bef ore weeds and Corn emerge. Apply
the 1.33 pints per acre rate of this product when a heavy infestation
of Shattercane, Wild proso millet, Woolly cupgrass, or Eclipta is
expected. A shallow cultivation may be needed to control any late
emerging weeds.
Woolly Cupgrass and Wild Proso Millet Control Program: For
control of these species, use the following 3 step program:
1) Apply this product early pre-plant, pre-plant incorporated, or pre-
emergence at 1.67 pints per acre on Medium soils and 2 pints per
acre on Fine-textured soils up to the maximum label rate. Lightly
incorporate with a rotary hoe if rainfall does not occur within 5 to
7 days.
2) Apply a post-emergence tank-mix of Beacon at 0.38 ounce per
acre or Exceed at 1 packet per 4 acres plus Accent SP at 0.33
ounce per acre plus 1 quart of crop oil concentrate plus 1 gallon
per acre of 28% nitrogen, or the equivalent amount of ammonium
sulfate, when grasses are 2 to 3 inches tall and the Field corn and
Popcorn is at least 4 inches tall. 3) Cultivate 14 to 21 days after
the post-emergence application.
Notes:
1) Do not apply more than the labeled application rate for a given
soil texture per year, either as a single or split treatment, or illegal

to a tank-mix of this product, Atrazine, or Simazine, or this product +
Atrazine + Simazine. See Comment No. 7 following Chart 1. This
product + Atrazine or Simazine, or this product + Atrazine + Simazine
portion of the tank-mixture provides pre-emergence control of the
weeds listed on this label in the tank-mixture section for “TANK-
MIXTURE WITH ATRAZINE OR SIMAZINE, OR ATRAZINE +
SIMAZINE — PRE-PLANT SURFACE, PREPLANT
INCORPORATED OR PRE-EMERGENCE”.
Application: Apply before, during, or after planting, but before the
Field corn and Popcorn emerges, at the rates specified below. Add
Gramoxone Extra, Landmaster BW, or Glyphosate at the following
broadcast rates:
Gramoxone Extra: 1.5 to 2, 2 to 2.5, or 2.5 to 3 pints per acre to
1 to 3, 3 to 6, or 6 inch tall weeds, respectively. Apply surfactant
at 1 or 2 pints per 100 gallons of spray mixture with 75% or greater
or 50 to 74% non-ionic active ingredient, respectively. This
treatment will not control weeds taller than 6 inches.
Note: Do not apply combinations containing Gramoxone Extra in
suspension-type liquid fertilizers because the activity of paraquat
will be reduced.
Landmaster BW: 27 to 54 ounces per acre depending on weed
species and size. See the Landmaster BW label for weeds
controlled, recommended rates for specific weeds, and other
information concerning use.
Glyphosate: See the Glyphosate or Roundup RT label for weeds

of Atrazine 90DF* or Simazine 90DF*, or with 0.7 pound of Atrazine
90DF** + 0.7 pound of Simazine 90DF**. On Medium soils, apply 1.33
pints per acre of this product with 1.8
pounds of Atrazine 90DF or Simazine 90DF, or with 0.9 pound of
Atrazine 90DF + 0.9 pound of Simazine 90DF. On Fine soils***, apply
1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product with 1.8 to 2.2 pounds of
Atrazine 90DF or Simazine 90DF, or with 0.9 to 1.1 pounds of Atrazine
90DF + 0.9 to 1.1 pounds of Simazine 90DF.
*
**Use Simazine in preference to Atrazine when heavy infestations of
Crabgrass or Fall panicum are expected.
***When using the tank-mixture of this product + Atrazine 90DF + Simazine
90DF, use equal rates of Atrazine and Simazine as shown when heavy
broadleaf weed infestations are expected. When heavy infestations of
Crabgrass or Fall panicum are expected, use a 1:2 ratio of Atrazine +
Simazine, instead of the 1:1 ratio given. (Example: Total Atrazine 90DF +
6LPD]LQH') OEV௘$XVHOERI$WUD]LQHOEVRI6LPD]LQH
respectively.) Refer to Comment No. 2 following Chart 1 for Atrazine 4L and
Simazine 4L conversions.
***For Cocklebur, Yellow nutsedge, and Velvetleaf control on Fine-textured soils
above 3% organic matter, apply 2.25 pounds per acre of Atrazine 90DF, or
equivalent rate of Atrazine 4L, or the same total amount of Atrazine +
Simazine, with 1.33 to 1.67 pints per acre of this product.
TANK-MIXTURE WITH ATRAZINE; OR ATRAZINE + 2,4-D; OR
ATRAZINE + 2,4-D + BANVEL FOR MINIMUM-TILLAGE OR NO-
TILLAGE SYSTEMS
In minimum-tillage or no-tillage systems where Field corn and
Popcorn is planted directly into a cover crop, stale seedbed,
established sod, or previous crop residues, this product applied in
combination with Atrazine will kill most emerged small annual weeds.
Apply this product + Atrazine before, during, or after planting, but
before Field corn and Popcorn emerges, according to the rates in
Table 1.
Where heavy crop residues exist, add 0.8 to 1.6 pints per acre of an
appropriately labeled 3.8 pounds a.i. per gallons of 2,4-D amine (such
as Weedar
® 64, Weedar 64A, DMA-4 Herbicide, or Formula 40) to
the spray tank last and apply in a minimum of 25 gallons of carrier
per acre.
As carriers, nitrogen solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied
before Corn emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds, and
therefore, are recommended instead of water. Add X-77 surfactant at
1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of diluted spray, or another appropriate
surfactant at its recommended rate, or add crop oil concentrate plus
28% liquid nitrogen (or equivalent). Apply before weeds exceed 3
inches in height. If Alfalfa is present, add Banvel to the spray mixture
at 0.33 to 0.5 pint per acre and apply before Alfalfa exceeds 6 inches
in height.
For fields with existing sod grasses (e.g., Bromegrass, Orchardgrass,
Rye, or Timothy), when existing weeds exceed 3 inches in height or
when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone Extra at the rate of
2.5 pints per acre in place of or in addition to 2,4-D, as indicated
above. Do not apply Gramoxone Extra in suspension-type liquid
fertilizer. Observe all directions for use, use precautions, and
limitations on the respective product labels when applying these
products in tank-mix combination.
TANK-MIXTURE WITH MARKSMAN IN CONSERVATION TILLAGE
— FIELD CORN
In conservation tillage systems where Field corn is planted directly
into a cover crop or previous crop residue, this product + Marksman
will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply this product +
Marksman before, during, or after planting, but before Corn
emergence on Medium and Fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic
matter. For fields with existing vegetation exceeding 3 inches in
height or when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone Extra at its
standard rate. This product + Marksman may be applied post-
emergence to Field corn less than 3 inches tall and before weedy
grasses exceed the 2 leaf stage. As carriers, nitrogen solutions and
complete liquid fertilizers, applied before Corn emergence, enhance
burndown of existing weeds. Do not apply Gramoxone Extra in
suspension-type liquid fertilizer or use on emerged Corn.
Refer to the Marksman label and follow all directions, limitations, use
precautions, and information regarding application and use in Field

APPENDICES
APPENDIX A: COMPATIBILITY TEST
Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, always
check compatibility with herbicide(s) each time before use . Be
especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid
fertilizers, as serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur.
Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in
some instances. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25
gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate
changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure:
1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add one-quarter teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a
compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex or
Unite (one-quarter tsp. is equivalent to 2 pWVJDOV
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 herbicides for this test follows:
Dry herbicides:For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level
teaspoons to each jar.
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add one-
half teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
Note: For this product in tank-mixtures with Atrazine + Simazine, use
one-third to one-half the amount of Atrazine specified above and
the remainder as Simazine, depending on whether the 1:2 or 1:1
ratio of Atrazine to Simazine is to be applied.
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 oily
film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the
compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing
the 2 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 one-half of the compatibility agent to
the fertilizer and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate
or flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If
incompatibility is still observed, do not use the mixture.
APPENDIX B: LOW CARRIER APPLICATION For Broadcast
Ground Application Only
Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator
®, Hagie, John Deere Hi-
Cycle™, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot™, or Willmar Air Ride ®,
that provide accurate and uniform application. Only water may be
used as a carrier. Screens in suction and in-line strainers should be
50 mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine as 100
mesh be used with some nozzles. Use a pump with capacity to: (1)
maintain up to 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient
agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5
gallons of spray mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer
speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water
immediately after each use.
Note: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and
increase application accuracy. Care should be taken when using
automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the
rated working pressure and flow ranges of the nozzles selected.
Nozzle screens should be used when recommended by the
manufacturer. All nozzles should be placed on 20 inch centers, except
flooding types which should be placed on 40 inch centers. When flat
fan-type nozzles are used, angles of 80° or 110° are recommended.
Always read and follow the manufacturers directions for optimum
setup and performance of their nozzles or tips.
APPENDIX C: AERIAL APPLICATION
Apply this product in water alone or in tank-mixtures with Atrazine, or
Linuron in a minimum total volume of 2 gallons per acre by aircraft.
This product may also be applied by air in combination with Prowl.
Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot
be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. To assure that
spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive non-target plants,
apply this product alone or this product + Atrazine by aircraft at a
minimum upwind distance of 400 feet from sensitive plants, or apply
this product + Linuron at a minimum upwind distance of 300 feet from
sensitive plants. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen
and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged
contact with skin.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the
manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
canopy.
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure tha
t
deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all
applications.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
AERIAL APPLICATIONS:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the
ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure tha t
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
• If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use
one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
field. When the wind speed is between 11 to 15 miles per hour,
applicators must use three-fourths swath displacement upwind at
the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraf
t
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise,
the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixedwing
aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
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 dr ift, the pote ntial 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for
setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should
be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop
and have minimal bounce.
ME-TOO-LACHLOR IV PAGE 10 of 9
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
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.
555SP-0321asteriskPending.indd 14 3/29/2021 1:53:22 PM
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.
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
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.
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the
potential for spray drift.
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
APPENDIX D: CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
This product alone in tank-mixture with other herbicides on this label,
which are registered for center pivot application, may be applied in
irrigation water pre-emergence (after planting, but before weeds or
crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. This product also
may be applied post-emergence to the Field corn crop or Popcorn
crop and pre-emergence to weeds in Field corn or Popcorn where
post-emergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow all
restrictions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply
this product only through a center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply
this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury,
lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can
result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not
connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for
pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide
label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible
for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person,
shall shut down the system and make the necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
Operating Instructions
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief
valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the
irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from
backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
automatic, quick-closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid
back toward the injection pump.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional,
normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake
side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock
to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional
pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide
distribution is adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump or piston
pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
system interlock.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area
intended for treatment.
8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part of water to 1 part
herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into the center pivot system.
Injecting a larger volume of more dilute mixture per hour will
usually provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment.
Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide in suspension.
9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water
application.
10.Apply in one-half to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume
(one-half inch) on Coarse-textured soils and the higher volume
(1 inch) on Fine-textured soils . More than 1 inch of water at
application may reduce weed control by moving the herbicide
below the effective zone in the soil. Use Precautions: for center
pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not
overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result.
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop
injury may result.
APPENDIX E: DRY BULK GRANULAR FERTILIZERS
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with
this product alone or selected tank-mixtures of this product which are
registered for pre-plant incorporated or pre-plant surface application
which are used to control weeds in crops on this product label and
are not prohibited from use on dry bulk granular fertilizers.
When applying this product or this product mixtures with dry bulk
granular fertilizers, follow all directions for use and use precautions
on the respective product labels regarding Field corn and Popcorn,

or diatomaceous earth materials, to obtain a dry, freeflowing mixture.
Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has
been thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. Best application
results will be obtained by using a granule of six-thirtieth particle size
or of a size similar to that of the fertilizer material being used.
Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be
needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight.
Calculate amounts of this product, Atrazine, Atrazine + Simazine or
